Pg. 13 Pg. 13 Friday, 17 March 1978 Committee will investigate course load by John H. Reiss the way of its institution here Managing Editor President for Academic Vice Affairs Ronald Bunn officially announced to the Student Senate Tuesday that a steering committee comprised of students, administrators and faculty being created to investigate the feasibility of implementing the Springer Report. That Report, endorsed in December by the Faculty Senate, members is calls for a shift away from the four course load. The committee wilt include one representative from the professional staff, one member from Academic Affairs, a person from Health Sciences, the Dean of Undergraduate Education, a representative from the Libraries, two or three members of the Faculty Senate and three students. Bunn said the task of the committee be to will “continuously monitor the steps involved in bringing an adjustment to the Springer Report.” He indicated that the University Administration has endorsed the Report “in principle,” but also recognizes that there are numerous roadblocks standing in Not convinced Bunn claimed the committee discuss those will problems involved in bringing about the change in the academic system here. He said that difficulties concerning “time, size and availability of classrooms, and changes to be entailed in busing” will all be considered. “The logistical operational and problems involved in implementing the report will all be studied,” said Bunn. He admitted that he knew neither the full extent of the problems nor when the shift could occur. “When the changes are fully implementable is unsure,” he said. “The committee will report regularly and as the evaluation by the departments of courses proceeds, we will see the dimensions of the problems. There is no way to predict when the changes will be made explained Bunn that departments are currently evaluating their courses in an effort to determine how many credits each deserves. He said that “a fair number” will continue to be worth four credits, either because of the number of contact House-hunting rush ago in an effort to decrease the number of courses that students would be required to take while attempting to enrich the courses studied and provide time for alternative educational opportunities. Bunn said that the Administration has decided to undergo the shift away from the four course load because “we never convinced ourselves that many of the courses offered justified suddenly four credits. Three was declared four without any change in the course.” Legislation postponed In other business, the Senate a number of resolutions, one presented by SA Director of Academic Affairs Bob Sinkewicz that SA sponsor the appearance of several coal miners to explain their strike and respond to questions. It also passed a resolution calling for the SA Constitutional Personnel and Appointments Committee to be utilized in the selection of any any individual for Student Association appointment, and rejected Senator Sean EGan’s proposal that the SA President be fined $25 for every SASU parsed including involved or by virtue of their content. Lab courses will only be affected slightly, he said, and will probably operate under the Carnegie unit system (one per hour). credit contact However, he stated that the Administration has endorsed the three credit-three contact hour system in principle and that the four course load will no longer be an option to students. The University adopted the four credit system here nine years legislative conference he misses. The only controversy arose when Acting Executive Vice President Jeff Lessoff sponsored a resolution allowing only an absolute majority of the Student Senate to remove an executive from Sub Board I. Presently, this hours can be accomplished by the SA executive committee. Lessoff attempted to pass the resolution because he felt he was being unfairly removed by the new Executive Committee, which took assumed power Wednesday. His move failed however when SA President Dennis Delia, in his last in day office, invoked his Presidential power to postpone the piece of legislation for one Senate meeting. Lessoff’s term expired Tuesday night. —Doynow Ronald Bunn, Vica President forAcademicAffairs gams momentum by Denise Stutnpo Feature Editor The spring house-hunting rush is currently gaining momentum as students to scurry secure off-campus living space for fall. Traditionally, the rush gets underway after students return from Spring break. This year, increased awareness of abusive landlords and poor living conditions has spurred students to get a jump on quality accommodations. “Last year we waited too long and got stuck with a lousy, expensive house*” related Daniel Zahn, who rented from one of the “notorious” landlords. Another early bird seen scouring the Off Campus Housing (OCH) bulletin board asserted, “Now is the time to look. A lot of people have already signed leases the good houses are going fast.” The OCH office at 343 Squire Hall reports that about 50 listings a week are being phoned in by landlords, most of which are snatched up within 10 days. to According Housing Perspectives , published by the Niagara Frontier Housing Council, more than 4,000 students live off campus in the area immediately surrounding the Main Street Campus. While some 1,500 units (separate dwellings) are rented out to students, it seems as if someone always knows someone else who used to live in a particular place. Quality homes are often passed on to friends from year to year, while - other apartments are trampled through over and over. From the above figures, it appears that there is sufficient off campus space for all. Yet, as many will attest, the supply of non-slum housing is limited. Tent City “UB, more than other colleges in the area, is a graphic example of the problems of student housing,”' reported Housing Perspectives. The student population has increased 150 percent since 1962 when Buffalo, then a private school, merged with the State University of New York system. The number of dorm spaces did not increase at the same pace however, and it was then that great numbers of students had to find rooms off campus. In 1969, tens of tents were pitched on campus and used for weeks to protest dorm room shortages. Due to continued student demand, rents in the area surrounding this University are 20 to 30 percent higher than those in the rest of Buffalo, including the Elmwood Avenue district near Buffalo State College. The average monthly rent paid per student here is now $90-100 including utilities. Ironically more students will be forced to live off campus next semester as a result of an increased demand for on campus housing. The (on-campus) Housing Office is predicting that for the first time ever they may have to reject student housing requests for Fall. “We are guessing that we will have to do some temporary tripling, and even then there will be a small number of students that we won’t be able to accommodate,” said Associate Director of Housing Cliff Wilson. There are 4,576 rentable beds on campus. Dorms well-liked? Fifty-two percent of last year’s dorm residents returned to live on campus, the largest number ever, according to Wilson. He thinks that the increase reflects student satisfaction, noting, “Ellicott has become a popular place.” However, Wilson admitted that one reason for this is the lack of affordable off campus housing near the North Campus. “There’s just no convenient place to live around here,” he said. Those receiving housing rejection slips will be mostly late-admitted students. “It is of desperate importance that Off Campus Housing will be open this summer because that’s when these students will be notified,” voiced Wilson. “OCH is hoping to be fully functional this summer with full time people doing research and field work,” said Publications Division Director of Sub Board Mike Volan. Head of OCH Joyce Levin has proposed a $10,000 budget for 78-79; hopefully part of this can be “stretched back” for use this June, July and August. OCH could not function last summer and this fall after it was cut from the Sub Board budget for 77-78. Recently put back on its feet with a minimal $300 to cover the spring rush and summer, OCH will have area housing lists available the week after Spring break Interested students can fill out a form and return the next day to receive a personalized list of apartments. Last year’s computer has been system discontinued because it was unnecessary. Suburbs expensive Although 95 percent of off campus listings are units in the Bailey-Kensington-Main area, this year has brought some offerings in the Amherst/Williamsville district, most of them for one or two rooms in new houses. The three major apartment complexes near the Amherst Campus seem well beyond the average student’s budget. A two-bedroom flat at Amherst Manor on Millersport and Maple, goes for $280 a month without utilities.

Over ISO phone calls were made to seniors in the School of Management. Only 60 people were reached and not every question was asked to each individual. # m classrooms had been instituted. “They still haven’t cracked down in all courses,” claimed one individual, saying 70 students had been packed into one small classroom during one of his exams. “Teachers have turned their heads,” remarked another student. When asked if he believed faculty had been lax Foster commented, “Some wete not as careful as they should have been, but we think this has been corrected. They are certainly not lax now.” Two-thirds of the students questioned claimed that organized cheating groups exist. Names of include “the groups cited syndicate,” “the boys,” and “club-21.” President of the Undergraduate Management Association Mitch Bonder believes there is “no solid proof” that organized groups exist. “Rumor had it that way,” he said. Mgny suggested students that independent cheating is more prevalent.

Many students interviewed claimed widespread cheating is known to occur with as much frequency in science courses because of competition, overcrowded classrooms and limited proctoring. “It is not just the School of Management,” said one student, “and it’s wrong to pinpoint them.” The credibility of the School of Management, could definitely be affected, by the. cheating problem, according to 30 of the 40 students who responded to Only five question. that that the individuals believed School’s credibility would not be threatened. Almost 100 percent of the 60 individuals who were contacted agreed that the tremendous competition in the job market for Accounting majors,- specifically positions in “Big 8 Firms,” and the competition for a high cumulative average were major factors that promoted cheating. Allegedly cartailed Twenty-eight out of 40 students believe that the new procedure will, or already have, helped to prevent the cheating One student problem. commented, “I wish they would have done this four years ago. It can’t help too many seniors now.” Many said they hadn’t been exposed to any of these new procedures, while others said they were not aware that any existed. A few students felt the procedures would have no effect. Bonder commented one the effectiveness of the crackdown saying, “Whatever was going on has now been curtailed.” Heclaimed cheating could start again because of the intense competition, but that “it could affect any department.” Dean Foster doesn’t expect the problem of cheating to occur again. He said, "I feel the strong steps that have been taken against it will buttress any problems. I would be very surprised if we could ever shut it off entirely, but we are trying to prevent it as best we can.” Come in we’ll get you ready for Spring Break!

The Spectrum Page three . �Ketter rejects proposed move Turn off those lights! of clubs to Amherst Campus Off-Campus Housing by Kathy Perm Spectrum Stuff Writer Former Student Association (SA) President Dennis Della's proposal to move all the student clubs and organizations now occupying the third floor of Squire Hall to Talbert HaO on the Amherst Campus has been rejected by University President Robert Ketter. Ketter believes die space requested for the dubs and organizations is more desperately needed for classrooms and lecture halls, according to Assistant Ron Stein. Although Ate President has expressed sympathy for the request to move to Talbert, academics are higher on his list of priorities. Delia believes that the amount of traffic to be frequenting the Amherst Campus is grossly underestimated. “If we wait too long to fight for the space we need, we won't get it,”‘he said. “A move of some sort of another, if it is a complete move or if we establish satellite offices js needed.” Viewing Ketter’s decision as “the best thing,” Sub Board Publications Division Director Mike Voian whose office is on the third floor was not ■AW* . " ■ ■ h i a:. v , — , • - upset with the rejection of Delia’s proposal. “The move would have been bad," Voian said. “It would have been like two separate universities. It was just unfortunate .that we had to get rejected by the Administration rather than by deciding by ourselves.” Voian believes that the ultimate solution for the division of the campuses would be to get space both at Talbert Hall and to retain space at Squire Hall. Loat Union According to Voian, the initial negative response by the clubs to Delia’s proposal was caused by a fear of losing a student union. This negative response “made it easier for Ketter to reject the proposal since he knew everyone didn’t redly support it,” Voian commented. Squire-Amherst Division Director Joyce Leun also believes that the rejection of Delia’s proposal was a good move. “Maybe now we can work hand in hand with the administration for more money and space to create a new union.” she said. She said students wait a student unioti and “moving the organizations little by little is not going to create this union.” Ketter’s decision was met with no surprise by Community Action Corps (CAC) Director Mark Szutillo, also a third floor resident. He believes that since Delia’s proposal lacked the support of most dubs and organizations, it was easier for Ketter to reject it,” even though Ketter would do what he thought was beet.” He said, “Now we’d be better off trying to work with Ketter in getting the Amherst Campus completed and having student activity space allocated as just that.” As for the effect on the majority of the students, Szutillo is unsure. “It is anybody’s guess as to how much traffic will be on die new campus and how much will remain on Main Street,” he noted. Depersonalized Amherst According to Chairperson of the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) Lew Rose, his organization wasn’t going to move to Amherst the way Delia had proposed. “We weren’t going to move out of Squire until we were guaranteed the equivalent space in Talbert and until The Spectrum moved with us,” remarked Rose. NYPIRG was planning to write Ketter asking for an extension of the two-year guarantee to remain in Squire. “If space isn’t allocated now, we will have no place to move in two years. When the space is provided, the move will be fine,” said Rose. Terming Ketter’s decision “excellent,” Mark Siev, Vice President of the Jewish Student Union (JSU), located across the hall from CAC, commented that by remaining on the Main Street Campus, JSU will not be isolated as it would be at Amherst. “The center of student life is on Main Street,” asserted Siev. “If the offices remain here we will be able to reach more people.” The JSU feels very strongly about staying on the Main Street Campus because the programming it has attempted on the new campus has not been successful. According to Siev, this is due to the “very depersonalized atmosphere of the Amherst Campus. Main Street is much more congenial.

Shcharansky, a computer specialist, stands accused of spying for the Central Intelligence Agency. He was arrested by the Soviet government on March 15, 1977. On June 2, 1977 he was charged with treason and espionage under the Soviet Criminal Code, crimes which carry a maximum sentence of death. Shcharansky’s wife, Avital, with the help of the SSSJ, organized a coast-to-coast campus drive to gather support for the strike held on the anniversary of Shcharansky’s arrest. “Students in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Israel have pledged to fast to generate a major moral force, not only for my husband’s plight, but for that of all Soviet Jewish dissidents and prisoners he represents,” said Mrs. Shcharansky. Members of the SSSJ believe that Shcharansky has been the victim of false charges because of his involvement with other Jewish activists, according to SSSJ Coordinator Steve Karp. The Shcharansky incident climaxed a nine month period of Jewish repression in Russia during which two activists were imprisoned, participants in sit-ins were beaten, anti-Semitic documentaries were televised, and Jewish cultural events were disrupted. . Following world-wide protests in 1970, two Jewish activists sentenced to death were granted reduced sentences. Karp said, “We are hoping we’ll be able to act fast enough this time to have Shcharansky freed.” According to Karp, the goals of the strike are to garner publicity for Shcharansky, to provide an overall education about discrimination of Jews in the Soviet Union, and to publicize the Walk-a-thon for Soviet Jewry to be held April 16 at 11 a.m. at the Talbert-Capen-Norton Complex on the Amherst Campus. “At Buffalo, we’re going for a number group,” said Karp. “We have over 80 people participating in the all day strike and we’re gathering petitions to send to Russian President Leonid Brezhnev and President Carter for public pressure.” Other colleges throughout the country have organized hunger strikes. “Some students haven’t eaten for a week and in Toronto, six students went without food for 11 days,” Karp said. This action caused the Canadian government to affirm Shcharansky’s innocence and grant him citizenship in the event that he ever comes to Canada, according to Karp. Lessoff removed as Sub Board exec by John H. Reiss Managing Editor Jeff Lessoffs controversy-racked political career came to a bitter end at Tuesday’s Student Senate meeting when SA President Dennis Delia foiled his attempt to amend the SA Constitution and prevent the new Executive Committee from removing him as Vice Chairman for Sub Board. That position has been assumed by the new SA Vice President for Sub Board, Jane Baum Lessoffs resolution would have taken the power to remove an officer of Sub Board out of the hands of the Executive Committee and given it to the Student Senate. But the issue never came to a vote as Delia invoked his Presidential power and postponed the vote on the resolution for one Senate meeting. Delia’s move killed Lessoffs chances of passing the resolution because his term expired Tuesday night An attempt to impede Delia issued a carefully-worded statement after the meeting, denying dial his actions were vindictive' or aimed at undermining Lessoff, but rather that they were designed to prevent Lessoff'from disturbingthe orderly transition of poWbr, He even ■admitted that untjer normal cirdumstances he would support such a resolution. “I have a lot of respect for Jeff Lessoff,” the SA outgoing President said, “but his recent letter to the editor of The Spectrum and- his actions have is tremendously shown he embittered by the results of the election.

In a series of large scale studies conducted in the 1950’s and ’60’s by Dr. E, Cuyler Hammond and his associates of the American Cancer Society (ACS), conclusive evidence determined that “cigarette smoking is by far the most important cause of lung cancer, and is also a major factor in deaths from coronary heart disease, chronic bronchitis, emphysema ' and other diseases." The ACS studies also revealed that illness rates among smokers are greatly increased and life expectancy is shortened. Even though ex-smokers live longer lives, the longer a smoker goes without smoking, the closer his life expectancy approaches the life expectancy of those who haw| never smoked. - - >- .iSp' 1 Inhalable Virginia From about 1492 to 1919, tobacco was commonly smoked in cigars, pipes, inhaled as snuff and chewed. Leaf-wrapped cigarettes were popular among the American Indians before Columbus landed. Cigarettes with paper wrappers were available as early as the 18th * century. Cigarettes filtered and packaged as we know them today were marketed at the end of the 1800’s. At the beginning of the 20th century, the cigarette became the most popular way of feeding an hourly nicotinic urge. Many factors contributed to the rise in cigarette popularity. A new type of tobacco known as “bright” or “Virginia,” made cigarette smoke more inhalable because the smoke could be drawn deep into the lungs more comfortably. The sharp increase in cigarette smoking after 1910 contributed- to public health campaigns of that “era against chewing tobacco. “The sputum of tobacco chewers,” according to repeated health warnings, “spreads tuberculosis and perhaps other diseases.” Most who gave up chewing tobacco undoubtedly turned to smoking it. Today, lung cancer replaces tuberculosis as the number one Page six The Spectrum Friday, 17 March 1978 . by Thomas Rosamilia • , Spectrum Staff Writer the Student the State University (SASU) to repeal the mandatory student health fee appear to have been successful, according to the President of SASU John Dugan. “There is a better than even chance of its repeal by the State Legislature," said Dugan. He felt confident that the fee will be dropped either from the state budget or the supplemental budget to be passed by the Legislature this spring. Dugan described the statewide boycott effort as a maneuver to draw more attention to the health fee controversy and to generate sufficient student pressure to have Efforts Association by of the fee dropped. The health fee amounts to an additional $17 annual charge for every student at this University, but its revenue is admittedly not being used for health related purposes. The money is instead being used to offset a $2,3 million budget cut sustained by the SUNY system. The fee was first budgeted for year’s state budget and subsequently were charged last September. SASU delegates here have suggested that in last students the SUNY administration in Albany may have requested the the the the bill which established health fee in budget in order to relieve impact of the proposed budget cuts. Nevertheless, SASU delegate Allen Clifford called the fee “an obvious tuition increase disguised in the form of a fee.” In addition, most forms of financial aid cover only tuition and not expenses such as fees, forcing students to foot the increase themselves. The SASU unit at this University has organized a mass mandatory mailing of cards which students may sign to pledge support for the boycott. 4,000 cards were sent out approximately two weeks ago to dormitory students with “more than half returned with signatures of support,” claimed Clifford. Because SASU here could not afford the postage to mail cards to every student, including the large number of commuters, SASU canvassed students in Squire Hall with pledge cards and petitions. In addition, SASU has spent roughly $1,000 for mailings, ads and forums to publicize the boycott effort. Pledge cards distributed The boycott has preceded differently at the various SUNY campuses across the state. Many SUNY schools have been lobbying legislature directly the or organizing campaigns. letter writing that while this University’s Student Association (SA) has given as much financial support as it could to the boycott efforts of SASU, “SA has not given enough moral support by Clifford said emphasizing the task force meetings of SASU in the Student Senate." According to Clifford, SASU efforts at other SUNY schools with more support from student associations and,, other important campus interest groups on have been far more effective. Clifford cited events sponsored by SA and student groups at other State campuses at which students had to sign boycott cards and petitions in order to attend The Student Association at this University has been distributing pledge cards and canvassing students on campus SASU President Dugan, who has been lobbying vigorously over the past several months, cited the Brockport, units at SUNY Geneseo and Albany as the only schools at which any students actually boycotted the fee by refusing to pay it. Most students were worried about the possible penalties of not paying the fee, said Clifford. If the fee is not repealed by April 1, then SASU will advise those who signed pledge cards to pay the fee and clear their accounts. OLD RED MILL INN �vexingvandalsstrike Those by Joel Mayersohn Spectrum Staff Writer Doors ripped off their hinges, shattered windows, gaping abysses in building walls. These are all of vandalism, examples or criminal mischief as it is known to University Police, that can be witnessed by students traveling throughout the University. “Vandalism is a major problem that plagues this University,” said Assistant Director for University Police Wayne Robinson. From September thru December of 1977 the University sustained worth 513,764 of damages, $10,574 of which was directly attributed to vandalism. Vice President for and Housing Auxiliary Services Len Snyder commented, “The impact of vandalism is substantive and probably considerably higher than most private schools.” Both University Police Custodial Services take a dim of vandalism and are stern in students pay for their malicious acts. Custodial Services estimates the cost of the specific damages usually not in excess of $250 and offers the student various payment plaps. The individual may either pay off his debt in one lump sum, by a specific payment plan, or if his cash resources are limited. Custodial Services will allow him to work off the debt. Snyder having and view - explained, “Our purpose is not to penalize students but to get them to make good on the replacement costs University Police the most important concurs that task is getting for. Its paid however, in dealing with criminal mischief is somewhat different.

"Students who have consumed too much alcohol will at times act foolishly and usually regretably by shooting off fire extinguishers walls. in punching holes or Robinson believed that the cause of vandalism varied, although he could not label one specifically. He cited “intoxication at the Rub and lack of something to do” as the principal reasons. Students as well were unsure of the causes of vandalism Many agreed, however, that “boozing it up" is a definite reason for a substantial portion of the damage. However, many students cited frustration alienation and as causes for vandalism by Vandalism students large portion a of occupies University Police’s and Custodial Services’ time.

Boozing it up, frustration, alienation are causes.

He also supported raising IRCB employee salaries to the minimum wage “out of respect for the labor laws.” Paul, who;, spoke of co-sponsoring events such as costly first-run movies with the University Union Activity Board (UUAB) and the Community Action Corps (CAC) said he would like to see IRCB profits go to the individual area councils Ellicott, Governors and Main Street. He also suggested a “bar bus that would take students to the local bar strips on weekends.” Both Kinnear and Froehlich spoke against raising the fee. Froehlich claimed that to .raise the fee now, considering the present dissatisfaction with IRC, would be a disaster. Executive Vice Presidential candidate Mike DiTomosso of the Answer Party told the crowd, “We use your ideas, and we do the work.” His plans included creating a newsletter that will be distributed free through the Campus Mail Service. He also suggested an open phone line where students can call to find out what is happening. DiTomosso vowed to keep the IRC office staffed around the clock so that “students can always drop by or call on the phone and actually get an answer.” by Mike Niman Spectrum Staff Writer Candidates for the Inter-Residence Council (IRC) Main Body dorm government discussed platforms and questions andswered at an election forum in Silicon's Porter Quad last Tuesday night.

Jim Paul, The Force party presidential candidate, said that IRC, as it presently exists, ft basically movie organization and that he would like to change that « image. Gregg Kinnear, Galaxy party contender for president, suggested less expensive activities to help remedy the budget deficit. He advocated better planning so that IRC would “break even” on more events.

Joe Nowak of Galaxy, agreed that there should be less emphasis on movies and suggested more beer blasts and parties. According to Nowak, “Careful management and more thought during planning will lead to better events at less of a monitary loss.” Howard Group of The Force disagreed with the other candidates and defended movies as being IRC’s main attraction, saying, “They should remain a priority.” Group supported alternative activities such as a Gong Show.

The difference now, 1 suppose, is that my interest stems from sociological curiosity rather than childhood fantasy. The plain, adult fact of the matter is that a fireman’s job takes him into a world which most of us will never know, on the job or otherwise. That he sees in a week more willful destruction and senseless neglect than others do in a year has become perhaps so obvious a thought that it needs restating. And 1 don’t think I’m alone when 1 wonder if there isn’t some way of knowing the oftentimes overlooked importance of his work to everyone. Firehouse , by Dennis Smith and Jill Freedman, provides just such a way. Smith, for those of you who don’t know him already, is the author of the best-selling Report From Engine Co. 82, an insider’s account of the real-life activities in one of the Bronx’ busiest firehouses His most recent work, a novel about the possibly catastrophic consequences of a wildcat strike by New York City firemen called The Final Fire, has been turning up recently in bookstore bargain bins. Freedman is the author (or should I say, photographer) of Circus Days and Old News: Resurrection City, and her photographs have appeared in numerous and magazines periodicals. Firehouse is very much Freedman’s book; in both quality and quantity, her photos tower above Smith’s text. From the urgent, other-worldly atmosphere of a fire to the quiet, thoughtful, many times, painful moments of recovery after a fire, she shows a and imaginative comprehensive eye for detail. Some of the pictures, surprisingly, are beautiful enough to qualify for exhibition in any art gallery, but Freedman’s purpose here, as she states in her preliminary note, is not to show firemen “as front page spectaculars, but rather as they are every day, in the firehouse and out on the street.” sensitive, Smith, for his part, contributes a skimpy text which probably could have been left out without hurting the quality of the book. As it is, the text looks as if it has yet to undergo an editor’s inspection. He apparently prefers the word “for” to “because” or “since”; on two consecutive pages I counted five instances where another word should have been used. Even more annoying is the fact that Smith’s punctuation in these sentences is haphazard and sloppy, but this is the case with most of the text’s punctuation. It would be difficult enough for words to stand up to the photos in this collection. Fortunately, Firehouse is more rewarding to look at than it is to read.

The Faculty Senate may begin to doubt its divinity over academic issues and the students may gain some confidence and insight in asserting themselves responibly, forcefully and realisitically.

The student cause, despite all the forces working against it, is not a hopeless one. Delia and Bunn have proved that. To the Editor. - - ; - — the Palestinians? How can murder bring about peace and harmony in the Middle East? There is no justification for the actions of these people. No one shall benefit from these crimes. The animosity that exists between Arab and Jew will only be increased The mistrust that prevails in the Middle East will continue to grow. The Israeli government will have urther justification for doubting the Arab’s abilities to insure security. The Palestinian movement will be condemned because of the irresponsible acts of a few fanatics. Peace is no closer. One can only think that these murderers wish to sabotage any attempt for a peace settlement. What is most sad is that it is not the murderers, the criminals who pay most dearly for these sick acts rather the innocent, the young, and the poor, the Arab refugee, the Israeli worker, and the foreign visitor. They pay with suffering, poverty and with their lives. If peace is to exist in the Middle East, if harmony and peace are to exist throughout the world, it will not be created through hate and destruction but through a love and respect for all living things. - Mitchell M.

Now the real story will be brought home; these miners won't read from newspapers nor will they relate television specials about West Virginia and Kentucky.

Such a resolution, sponsored by Bob Sinkewicz and to be carried out by Speakers Bureau chairman Dave Hartzband, can only serve to narrow the gap between University life and the real world. I would like to publicly commend the performance of Pat Lovejoy, the S A Director of Student Activities and Services who will he leaving office shortly. Pat was always most receptive to any suggestions I might make as to programming on the Amherst Campus. Without her help, many of the events we sponsored at the Katharine Cornell Theater would not have been possible, I am confident, from my previous experience with him, that Barry Rubin will continue the fine tradition of programming for the oft forgotten Amherst Campus that Pat Lovejoy worked to establish.

That is the way the United States Sixth Fleet described the 500-pound bomb that an American warplane dropped on a deserted part of Sardinia’s southern coast approximately one month ago. Can you believe it an accident. 1 always thought an accident was when a puppy used the living room rug as a place to relieve itself. When a tar is leaving Windmere Loop and some guy bn Main Street decides to beat the light because he’s late for the Sabres game, that’s ah accident. But when a 500-pound bomb explodes and causes panic among nearby residents (no injuries were reported), it’s more than an accident. Blunders such as these are often categorized as “military mishaps.” When the Arm>r called a press conference to unveil its first pilot-model new 59-ton tank and the tank got stuck in reverse, that’s a Military mishap. Officials said that when the tank was washed for its debut, “water froze and impeded control.” But when a 500-pound bomb accidently falls from an aircraft taking part in an amphibious landing exercise, it’s more than a military mishap. i The non-bureaucratic term for the situation might be a mistake. Although the United States military seems to have had its troubles admitting to mistakes, this is one time it could be stuck. I always considered a mistake to be something 1 did wrong on a test or improperly off of my tax returns, but left rartly do I make 500-pound mistakes. jl once made a 12-pound when 1 dropped my bowling ball on my mistake left foot. Some - forget it in the alley described my clutziness as a mishap, but no one had the nerve to suggest out loud that it was an accident. Of course, it was; no one is stupid enough to intentionally drop 12-pound people bowling ball on his left foot. The point is not what the situation is called an accident, a military mishap, a mistake or dangerous but why does an organization that spends an overwhelming amount of tax dollars allow something like this to happen and how can we prevent it from happening again? Now I’m not saying that the military shouldn’t or doesn’t have its flaws, because we all know its very existence is a flaw in our ability to rationally cope with problems.

In fact, unless you're an English teacher or an avid reader or even just a fan of John Gardner's, you probably didn't hear him give a reading from his latest novel-in-progress at the Aioright-Knox Art Gallery last Thursday night And you definitely didn't hear his reading on the art and theory of fiction writing, and the subsequent question-and-answer period in Clemens Hall the following afternoon.

Come Into The Garden Maud presents us with a wealthy American couple from deep in the heart of Texas.

While the country is possessed with dancing fever, the utilitarian uses of music are oftan overlooked While millions of sighs and tears emanate from our pained balladeers, and urban decay inspires the drone chordmg of heavy metal blasts, Bil Scott Heron is using his music as a red-hot tool for perpetuating social change. In a straight-ahead manner, Heron attacks and confronts the hypocrisy of national leaders and condemns the weakness that is draining the hearts and souls of the people of the world Heron and his band took the stage to an unfortunately small audience Friday night at the Century, and gave them music to dance and think by Heron gave a rather lengthy speech as the introduction for the Midnight Band, midnight the night being being ", . . the exact moment between the new and old day the perfect time for making music." The Midnight Band is centered around a three-man percussion section, seeing that the heart of all music was, as Heron put Opening act Michael Murphy belts one out.

Heron demonstrated how songs are bridges, performing numbers from his album of the same name Each "bridge" was a masterpiece of recent communication, and no stone went unturned Heron topics ranged from the " misuse of nuclear energyto racism to government irresponsibility One aspect of the lyrics Friday night was a dedication to the jazz form in theme and performance While Heron's tone and range is equivalent to that of any traditional jazz singer (AI Jarreau, Oscar Brown, Jr.) his choices are not limited to short songs They are frequently drawn out into long musical explorations a tribute to the immortal jazzman John Coltrane, featured Trane all the jazz breaks that an instrumental group might have Solos followed from co-leader Brian Jackson on piano and band members on bass, drums, and again in the triumverate rhythm section Heron's band got an unusual introduction About five minutes before Heron and band were to go on, Buffalo celebrity "Boxx" got up to make a plea for everyone's participation in the impending scene He needn't have worried. The small-sized audience only gave more room for dancing. Gil-Scott Heron took advantage of that too he jumped in the audience and personally urged the audience to their feet It's a shame that more people didn't make it to the Century on Friday night Chances are they could have related to the politics and danced to the music. It seems to be again that lack of communication Opening the show was the Gerry Eastman Orchestra, a large local outfit featuring three different vocalists. Most prominent of these was Beverly Simms, performing in the tradition of Flora Purim and DeeDee Bridgewater.

And, though opening act Michael Murphy did a credible job, I dare say that the night belonged to America Even as Murphy bounced his banjo through the lively "Carolina in the Pines," America loomed: behind him in the form of two elaborate rings of drums, cymbals and other more exotic implements of percussion, and beside him, where real potted plants rested off-stage waiting to wheel in a tropical "California" atmosphere for the main act who would look a bit more comfortable Murphy with a surfboard and a blonde tucked under his arm finished in fine form with the sweet sounding hit "Wildfire" and his seven year-old hand-clapper “Geronimo's Cadillac" as an encore an enjoyable, ten song set, highlighted by strong vocal work Bring on America and for openers "Riverside" followed by "Old Man Took" and that cute little song Tony Tenille raped, "Muskrat Love."

Page thirteen �m MOVIES 'Blue Collar' a film that says something Michael Silberman Spectrum Arts Staff by been long overdue. It deals with Blue Collar is a film that, in a sense, has subjects the American cinema has avoided like the plague. Paul Schrader's unique of following film depots the nature of today’s economic hard times instead the parasitic nurturing of current routes of escapism (Star Wars and The Deep) or movie sings are real. our secret fears (The Omen and Jaws). The blues this The film's locale is not somewhere over the rainbow, but one of America's three discontented and many critically ill cities, Detroit. Its story concerns downtrodden assembly line workers who have trouble making ends meet They decide to rob the company safe. They do it for economic need, but justify then on the basis of the dehumanizing treatment they have suffered. Instead of money, the safe holds proof of their Union's corruption and misappropriation of funds. The trio is now onto something bigger than it can handle. The film's best feature is its candid depiction of the characters' frustrating jobs. The assembly line is a congested and ear-piercing place verging on open warfare. The atmosphere of the plant is similar to those found in old prison films Open animosity exists here between labor and management in much the same way it does between convicts and guards in White Heat crime The system the These workers despise the monotonous nature of their milieu and live out lives of quiet desperation. They look upon themselves as losers and others do the same. Cattle-like, they stand by the time clocks waiting to punch out. In the freedom of the parking lot they race off as fast as possible, and dodge accidents in the process. In bars and bowling alleys they curse their daily routines. Despite the long hours each man puts in, he can never keep pace with his debts and their collectors. Zeke Brown (Richard Pryor) owes back taxes to the Internal Revenue Service. Jerry Bartowski (Harvey Keitel) works nights as a gas station attendant but still can't pay his bills. Smokey James (Yaphet Kotto), the lone bachelor, can't afford the lifestyle he leads and owes a loneshark one thousand dollars. The enemy is clearly the system, one that is oppressive and destructive. The only thing of value these alienated souls have is their devoted friendship.

Don't miss the truly uniqiie works of the Creative Associates, (831 t To my knowledge, there are few movies besides documentaries such as Harlan County USA which give audiences a glimpse into the lives of the lower working class. But for dll its good thematic intentions. Blue Collar has some problems in execution. In his debut as director, Raol Schrader seems a bit confused. He has trouble finding a consistent tone for this film: it takes its time in choosing between tragic and comic moods For a long time Richard Pryor's crazed antics give the film a comedic tone His disturbance of a union meeting over a broken locker has the mixed fury of splendid wit and bitter contempt. But Schrader's humoristic touches appear gratuitous when the movie changes in midstream toward a tragic conclusion Fortunately, along with some skeptical and stagey plot conveniences, they seem to be the only evidences of Hollywood polishing. Nevertheless, if the humor in Blue Collar tends at times to steer us away from the movie's main points, the distraction is minimal compared to the way other major political issues have been evaded by Hollywood. Although several Vietnam films are due for release, not one has yet to place that war in its proper context. Our lone portrayal of the Watergate scandal has been a film that all but ignores the event AH The President's Men.

"Pigeons” was notable for its use of a Greek chorus made up of cheeping, warbling, growling animal voices which aurally attacked the old man feeding pigeons in the park.

The number of works which rqay be called realistic is indicative of a growing nation-wide trend, x Michael E. Morin's Blue Sunday, an egg tempera on wood, communicates in an eloquent, effective way. The subject, a building facade covered by an intricate pattern of tfiadows, is realistically and skillfully rendered. The fire escape, hanging platform and window blinds all interact across the building.lending the illusion of depth and creating turned on yet.” Pointing to the extremely short length of Barthelme’s collected stories, Gardner called the "game" their most important element, and maintained that, with few exceptions, it can't be carried on successfully in longer stories. But aren't these harsh words for one writer to say about another? Not if you understand Gardner's attitudes completely, they’re not. "Fiction doesn’t change that much," he stated, "it's always about characters. We think in the 20th century that we are so innovative. Whatever it is, the story, the character, it’s been done ” Rumor has it that John Gardner will be joining the English faculty at UB next year. Of the two endowed chairs which are currently vacant, one was held by John Barth. It is, I suppose, purely a coincidence that if he does come, Gardner would occupy the other. interest in the painting. The work was awarded the Hens and Kelly Award and is an asset to the collection. Another successful painting, Billy and the One Eyed God takes the viewer into a typical American living room and portrays a typical American scene. John Brach, the artist, avoids color, using only grey tones in the painting, which shows a young man sitting mesmerized by a television set. Light plays across the subject, illuminating him from the direction of the T.V. The painting, also the winner of an award, comes across directly and powerfully. Unfinished technique In contrast to these statements are examples of sloppy, crude, lazy work. Queen of Hearts, by Sharon Paul Zacker looks like a painting retrieved from a pile of rejected canvases. The underlying charcoal lines, scribbles, undefined shapes and muddy colors work together to make this work an eyesore. Some might refer to the lack of technique as "freshness," but I would prefer to call it unfinished and in need of serious attention. This exhibit is significant because it speaks for artists now working in this region. Modern artists, as reflected here, have an enormous freedom of expression in picking subjects and in executing their perceptions. There are compositions of machines, painting filled with space, stark building and cityscapes. Only a scant three landscapes appear in the presentation, unusual considering the amount of wild land in Western New York. The human experience In all the media, representations of people demonstrate conception. Faces are found in fantasy worlds and in portraits. are shown in bed, at the Baily-Clinton market, as alone figures in a sea of clouds, or as an angel on a clothesline. The human experience seems to be the strongest stimulus affecting the artists' work. The exhibit is not always on a professional level but it is worth a trip to the Albright-Knox.

A giften screenwriter, Schrader (along with brother Leonard) has given his characters' scenes and dialogue, which ring with authenticity He steers clear of presenting the characters as psychologically disordered in favor of a Marxist influenced view of the workers. He lets the background of their world suggest the basis tor the protagonists' estrangement instead of forcing ambiguous reasons on them, as he did with Taxi Driver, Obsession and Rolling Thunder. The picture being painted is not a pretty one when Harvey Keitel examines his daughter after she tried to make the braces he couldn't afford from a hanger. The conversations of the trio are utterly convincing and appropriately vulgar, whether over beer or after a night of balling and coking. The early morning confessions and shattered dreams leave one with the feeling they have eavesdropped on some private words. A terrible price I don't presume to know if automobile unions are as evil and dishonest as this film, makes them out to be. They come off as slightly fascistic; placating workers while maintaining the status quo and ruling with an iron fist. Management is shown to be made up of bold faced liars who are exploitative to the nth degree. When the three friends confront this ultimate evil, they Can offer little resistance. They are. crushed much like a battered car being junked. Blue Collar touches on what happens to meh who stand up to an unjutt and mute system. Schrader's conclusion is that if you are going to challenge the establishment, be prepared to pay a terrible price. An example must be set down and the individual made to suffer. The only recourse, unless some wholesale changes occur, is to accept your fate and do the dirty work. Despite a few shortcomings, Blue Collar is an important and worthy film. I think the picture has some urgent things to say to a city like Buffalo, in economic peril, and a country like America, in the midst of the United Mine Workers' strike. Someone should take notice, talking pictures finally have something to say It's about time . . . it's about life.

A group of Buffalonians, including a sizable contingent from Women's Studies College, are leaving Washington D.C. today to demonstrate for the imprisoned Wilmington Ten Workers at the Anaconda brass works and miners in Stearns, Kentucky, continue their labor walkouts despite court rulings and a presidential invocation of the Taft-Hartley Act. The people united shall never be defeated And I guess you thought political theater also died somewhere along the line troupe of long-haired actors abandoned on a street corner. Again - not so Not by a long shot. Political Theater will be performed as long as there is a storyteller or a singer with a guitar to tell us about those ills in a social hall or a union meeting room Political theater will thrice as long as there are people such as the members of the Little Flags Theater Collective. A Boston based organization. Little Flags played to responsive audiences last weekend at the Northwest Buffalo Community Center and Squire Hall's Room. Fillmore To celebrate International Women's Day, Women's and Third World Students' Association (those politicos Studies College again) presented this well known company's works: The Furies Of Mother Jones and Winds Of People The Mother Jones played at Northwest Buffalo Community Center Saturday night. The play deals with working people; miners and mill workers of Appalachia These people are in constant struggle against Big Business, against the United States government, against bosses and corrupt unions - to keep their land, their jobs and their rights to a free life. The miners are fighting against hazardous mine condition and for a fair and open union in the face of their employer's - restrictions. The entire community stands in support of a mountain woman as she attempts to defend her ancestrial homestead from a strip These individual mining concern. stories all make clear the need for worker unity, which is the fury of Och's Love Me I'm A Liberal and James Oestereich’s / Can Only Sing The Song. Through music, it was made dear that oppresion is universal. You are not exempt from oppresion if-you happen to be whi'e or male or heterosexual or monied If you are on earth, the problems are yours. It became evident watching Little Flags that one does not have to be political to love political theater. Watching The Furies of Mother Jones and Winds Of The People you realize that if you work, you are a member of that, though essential, is a class basically hated by most of society. That the working class is something to rise up from and not be a part of is a frightening American myth. Little Flags lets it be known, in no uncertain terms, that the worker is right. It is the Mother Jones Jones (a.k.a. Mother Jones) was an Irish immigrant who, for 51 of her 100 years on this planet, crossed the United States joining and Mary Harris leading labor strikes The battles she faced at the mines in Colorado and Kentucky, the factories in New York and before Congress in Washington D.C.; her furies, if you will, live today in the souls of Appalachian miners and migrant harvesters in the West. No stereotypes What is remarkable about The Furies Of Mother Jones is its authentic portrayal of workers' lives. There are no stereotypes of blue collar workers no unthinking Archie in the play Bunker types, no unfeeling housewives glued to the television, no backwoods — hillbillies running moonshine likker. The characters in this play work hard and get dirt under their fingernails They realize that thetr needs are not being met although they give all of their days and lives to their work. ultimate liberating message.

This, they claim, is a story conjured by pity-seeking Jews, meant to create a victimized image that will conceal the supposed threat that Jews pose to society. have a grandparents My may different on the aforementioned claim. Unfortunately, they are not present to argue their they were gassed to death in Nazi death point camps during Hitler’s siege of Europe. But I do have first hand sources to contest the above claim of the Nazi party Most prominent on my list is my parents. They have not hesitated to tell me of the horrors of the Nazi death camps, which they were shipped to from their homes in Europe during the second world war. They have lived to tell the story of the decadence of human ethics, dispalyed by the mere existence of the death camps, and the failure of the world to come to the aid of the human beings that vere being destroyed within them My parents have passed on to me the knowledge of how the Nazis, propelled by their prejudices and the vicious forces of hate, became life-destroying animals promoting decadence and ruin as they split apart European families of “subordinate” cultural or racial origin, and sent each member to various death camps. Here, the victims brushed dead bodies from atop themselves as they awoke in crowded barracks where humans were piled one atop another. Here, they daily witnessed and smelled the smoke of incinerators where humans were burnt alive. They saw these things if they were fortunate enough to survive the daily rage of starvation, beatings, and the degeneration of the human spirit and morale in the face of hate. Many people in Europe claimed they had no knowledge of the extermination of various peoples in death camps during W W II. Did they not wonder what had happened to many of their friends and neighbors who had suddenly disappeared from their homes? Where do I get my proof of these occurrences? I disease? The perspective Nazi is labeling my father, and others like him, a liar. But, the Nazi knows deep inside of himself, the crimes that he is concealing for the sake of public popularity. If he is dispelling the testimony of living victims of Nazi crimes as fantasy, then the only way to prove the occurence of his crimes is to call upon all of his dead victims. Yes, the Nazi has knowledge enough to know that this just can’t be done But can he clarify the substance of actual pictures taken in the camps or ghettos, which depict the wretched state of his victims? Will he label the evidence of the horrible Nazi war crimes revealed in the Eichmann trials and the trials of other Nazi criminals, as mere fantasy 7 1 plead to each human being, please demonstrate against the march of the American Nazi Party, which is scheduled to take place in the town of Skokie, Illinois, present home of many death camp survivors.

To be apathetic is to say “yes” to the spread of decadence in our society. How advanced can mankind be if his moral development has not nearly matched his intellectual development, as proven by the fact that humans were mercilessly slaughtered only thirty years ago, and the forces which induced this mass-murder have remained unchecked, only to rise again today?

Guest Opinion - Editor's note: The following was written several months ago and submitted to The Spectrum by EODER after Daniel Cordero's death I, who have been exposed to University life for a few years, have finally realized the importance of the PODER organization. I want to use myself as an example of one of the students who came to this University and, when first exposed to PODER was “turned off,” It is very hard to write of one’s self in a derogatory manner hut someone has to serve an example. To this day 1 cannot be classified as an “active” member in PODER. It is a shame that such a useful and needed organization should be neglected by students for whom the organization was intended. If one should take the time to look at the “chronological History of PODER” he would realize that in order for the organization to be established people had to BLEED, be exposed to an unmeasurable level of violence, frustration and humiliation. 1 have learned to realize that this organization, and others, will be the determinant factor of our children’s education. If this organization continues i would like to direct this letter to Daniel J. Isaacs (“Autocratic Editors,” March 8th). Mr. Isaacs is so off-case it astounds me. He claimed that John Reiss and 1 “merely smirked’’ at suggestions made to better the endorsement system. laughed at his idea about transcribing (We to have the internal problems (lack of participation) which it faces presently, the University system will abolish the program with the unjustifiable reason being “lack of productivity.” I, like many others, felt that if 1 were to get involved, actively, 1 would not have had time for academics. That was merely being cynical on my part for if every other Latino, seven years ago, would have thought the same way there would not have been a PODER Organization today! I hope that more Latinos will begin to realize, at an earlier stage, the importance of this Puerto Rican Organization. It is essential that we, as Juan A. Gonzalez stated, “Raise our conscience of awareness” and impose upon us the fact that our CULTURE is of much more importance than any mere academics. I hope that this manifestation of “The Belated Bloomer” is not inherant in many Latinos and that we continue to develop our minds and our culture together in our struggle for FREEDOM and recognition in a society so predetermined to deny us that RIGHT! The first thing that confuses me is why he brought my mispelled (!) name into the picture. He is obviously so behind the times that he doesn’t realize that 1 resigned my position as Campus Editor weeks before the election. My conversations with John Reiss were merely social. Any comments that I made at that time were my own not the voice of The Spectrum. If Mr. Isaacs were a bit more informed, he would have also realized that I am totally opposed to continuing The Spectrum endorsement system as it exists today. I believe too much control lies in the hands of four editors and not enough care is taken in deciding the best candidates. 1 was appalled to overhear my former colleagues question their - endorsement of Lori Pasternak over Scott Jiusto. With that much power in their hands, I think they should have been absolutely positive about all the candidates they chose to endorse. How does that strike you, Mr. Isaacs? Before you decide to misrepresent me or anyone else, I suggest you learn a little more about journalism. Namely, spelling names correctly and trying to come a bit closer to the truth. Maybe then you can solve your problems when dealing with ‘'narrowminded, elitist and arrogant” campus editors. faukttrBuraczenski Editor Emeritus Daniel Cordero Campus Friday, 17 March 1978 The Spectrum .

Hie three major issues of one of the bitterist national strikes in years have been: health benefits, pension benefits and the right to stage wildcat strikes. Miners have enjoyed “womb to tomb” free medical care under former contracts. The newly offered package, if ratified, would force the miners to pay sizeable sums for health benefits. Another major obstacle to union ratification is the proposed pension plan. Under the terms of the agreement, the industry has proposed that recently retired miners would receive larger pensions than those who retired several years ago. The UMW has previously approved a resolution calling for equity in pension benefits for all retired miners. •1 ' ’ * ■ However, the strike has been prolonged due to previous BCOA offers which allow disciplinary measures to be taken < against individuals who participate in wildcat strikes. Under these rejected proposals, leaders of such strikes could be fired, and those who willfully take part in the proceedings would be heavily fined for each day of work missed.

In future, we will post signs indicating a change of hours.” Hartzband then asked if the reason sub prices were higher at night was to compensate for afternoon losses. Hosie firmly denied the suggestion. He claimed that sub prices are the same in all units at all times, and that after checking with local competitive establishments, in regard to the three most popular subs, the sub shop is underpriced. Hosie did admit that losses were being experienced during the day, but “we have changes in mind for next year to relieve this.” Because of the additional eleven days of school next year, Hosie revealed that there will be a 5.5% increase in board contracts.

Glionna Spectrum Staff Writer WIRC, the up-tempo, progressive rock radio station of the Main Street residence halls, is looking to develop into the voice of the student body. If the proper staff and funding can be obtained, WIRC feels ready to assume an integral role in student affairs on both the Amherst and Main Street campuses. A minimal $1,000 budget allocated by the Inter-Residence Council (IRC) has forced the station to operate with only the 'bare essentials" of a radio station. Station Manager Michael Kuprijanow said, “Various pieces of equipment alone go for more than $1,000” Kiprfjanow and Programing Director Harold Koslowski have not only filled the aforementioned positions, but also served as chief engineer, cordmator, disc jockey, secretary, and occasionally janitor. “We’ve been looking for good deals,” said Kuprijanow, “and so far we’ve been lucky to obtain a quality transmitter for $675 and two braodcast quality turntables for $600 but a lot of our other equipment just isn’t up to par.” He stressed that with a radio station you get what you pay for. “When you compromise on equipment like Sony or Radio Shack, the quality of sound is passed on to the listener,” Kuprijanow said. Ma bell bills For the next fiscal year, the station is requesting a tentative budget of about 118,000 to carry out its planned expansion which includes rjnnovation of present headquarters in room 102 of Goodyear Hall. A set of master plans has been drawn up and shown t<|j; various University officials for more adequate use of this allotted space. “We are planning to build a second studio for recording commercials and broadcasting news, a record library, and a reception room,” said Kuprjjanow. The station currently broadcasts by “carrier current” which is transmitted through the electrical system in both Goodyear and Clement Halls. With appropriate finding, W1RC to expand this carrier current to the Governors plans Residence Halls and the F.llicott Complex. “The problem with reaching lllicott,” said Koslowski, “is that with the present carrier current system it’s impossible to establish a connection with the multitude of transmitters. located ir throughout the Quads.” He also stressed that phone lines are also expensive. “Bell Telephone,” he said, “has expressed a desire to rip us off. We’ve looked into a microwave system but a license is needed for that and so far the University has been hesitant to grant us permission to apply for that.” Learning about radio WIRC serves over 900 people the Goodyear and Clement in Halls, and with the current addition of Schoelkopf Hall it will have a potential listening audience of over 1,100 students. Also included in future plans is a projected airing from Squire Hall. The station, successor of the defunct WIRR, employs a voluntary staff of 25 disc jockeys. “Our main function,” insists Kuprijanow, “is helping people learn about radio, learn the skills of being a disc jockey and to help them become familiar with the use of the various equipment.” According to (Ciipnjanow, the planned rennovation will enable W1RC to operate as a genuine, full With radio station. facilities like a production studio, portions of programs could be pre-recorded. Disc jockies would also be able to make up their own service commercials and promotionals.

The studio set up for the prospective broadcasting station must be inspected and must meet all FCC specifications. “Next year, we’ll be working on a Frequency search and will begin to build a studio that’s up to par with those at other schools," said Kurpijanow. “That way, if the FCC license comes through, we’ll be ready.” Hoping for funds cited student Kuprijanow operated radio stations at schools such as WSCB at Buffalo State and WBSU at Brockport that their by although supported student associations, function with at least a $ 1 5,000 budget. With $18,000 and an FCC license, W1RC insists that it would be able to reach at least 75 percent of the campus population. Further funding also depends on the disposition of the newly elected SA officers and their relation to those in charge of WIRC in the following year. So far, attempts to obtain outside (unding from sources like and Rockefeller the UB been Foundations have unsuccessful. However, WIRC is hopeful of attaining some added funds from Sub-Board 1, Inc. in the coming year. “Hopefully, next year with a larger staff, a business manager would be able to solicit advertising and attract some outside funding into this operation,” said Kuprijanow. Through it all, the station’s main desire is to have the students of this University “tune in and turn on” to WIRC Radio, 640 AM. Broadcast hours are 1 p.m. to 1 a.m. Its request line number is 831-4237. WE RE GONNA BE IN PICTURES: Accomplished actor James Caan will make hit directing debut Hi Buffalo at MGM productions begins filming 'Hide In Plain Sight' here. Caan to direct And it’s say hello to Hollywood, Buffalo Show biz will be hitting the Buffalo vicinity in mid-April when renowned actor James Caan begins filming his directing debut. The crew of the film will be here for two months. Filming will take place around the Amherst, Tonawanda and downtown areas. “Hide In Plain Sight,” an MGM production, will be based on the true story of Buffalonian Thomas Leonhard’s search to find his children after their stepfather became an informant on the local Cosa Nostra. The quest to uncover the real identities of the children, who were given new lives by the Federal Witness Protection Program, lasted eight years. Leonhard eventually took his battle to gain custody of his offspring to the Supreme Court. Caan, known primarily for his roles in The Godfather Brian's Song and The Gambler, was in Buffalo for two days in February to scout for locations. Potential movie sites include City Hall, the Dunlop Tire Corporation plant in Tonawanda and the offices of the Buffalo Evening News. The budget of “Hide In Plain Sight” is estimated to be between $1.5 and 2 million, an investment expected to provide a monetary boost to the Buffalo economy. The casting is still incomplete and thus far, only Caan has a known role. Extras will be taken from the area. Originally, Caan was unsure about shooting on location. The film is being made on a relatively low budget and since thrift is a key element, the director was wary of taking any financial risks with unexperienced union help here. Filming interior scenes in Hollywood and just outdoor sequences in Buffalo was at one time considered. out and authenticity Obviously, won the pre-production duties are presently underway with Caan scheduled to start cameras rolling around April 17th. he by for your (with The task of becoming a legally broadcasted station includes the '' recent With the Student Association (SA) elections in the spotlight, WIRC attempted to take the incentive and cover the informative SA candidate debates.

Page twenty-three �Wharton questions call for more vocational education Chancellor of the SUNY system, Clifton even Wharton, has expressed “some skepticism grave doubts” over what he described as “a tidal wave of new enthusiasm for vocational and career education.” 1 Wharton; speaking here before the Third National Conference on Career Education in Detroit, said that while he could support the trend “to a limited extent,” there were a number of reasons for his “reluctance to jump on the bandwagon.” Wharton said he recognized that the growth of career education during the past five or six years “seems to reflect a new mood in our country,” and “has been one of the significant developments of American education in the 1970s.” Wharton appeared to favor more traditional broad-based education and claimed that American business holds the same view in searching for college graduates. He expressed the fear that career education is education with a low ceiling. It may help get that first job or position, but actually retard personal growth and work opportunities over the long haul.

Harvey skills of learning, those habits of though, those open-minded sensibilities, those core subjects that best allow people to go on learning, go on stretching their minds and their dreams and their lives.” Wharton said that while the concept of training people for careers could be traced back to the earliest universities in Western civilization, “career education” as such has not been adequately defined. The SUNY chancellor contended that while many of its strongest advocates stress that is is not vocational education, definitions tend to be very broad and many times vague. “It often seems to me,” Wharton commented, “that career education is at bottom a spirit, a mood, a vague sense that all education ought to be merely related to manpower needs and the demands of the JIMMY BUFFETT Plus Sepcial guests OZARK MOUNTAIN DAREDEVI LS GOOD SEATS STILL AVAILABLE With a little help from WBUF 93 JOURNEY RONNIE MONTROSE VAN HALEN CENTURY THEATRE MARCH 23 8 pm With a little help from WBUF-93 - “ BUFFALO MEMORIAL AUDITORIUM . — 8:00 pm THE TUBES - - - With a little help from QFM 97 ... - - GENESIS Because of a lack of common perception among educators, the chancellor reasoned, career education as offered today . . may be based on a misreading of what the leaders of American business really — Corky Productions With a little help front QFM-97 Tomorrow night 8 pm at the Century Theatre economy.” want.” Wharton referred to a recent major study by the Conference Board, which conducts surveys for U.S. Industry, which found that in 1975 a recession year the badly.” largest employers spent 7,500 nation’s t bn the other hand, Wharton said lifelong over $2 billion on employee and executive training. “The message,” said the chancellor, “is this: education has been one of the few recent developments that has seen growth as dramatic as Most businessmen, especially corporate leaders, that of -career education. “Updating, re-tooling, prefer to train people in their own way of doing re-certification,’’ he contended, “are becoming things.

In addition to to work in a factory “I played topping the rebounding charts, four years of high school ball, but Assistant Sports Editor I really wasn't into it, so I went to work graduation,” following noted Pellom Invitation to Buffalo It wasn’t until four years later that Richardson discovered Pellom playing in a Wilmington, North Carolina summer league “A friend of mine who was also a school coach the in Wil mmgton area contacted Richardson, telling him that I was a good player and I could really help his team My friend then set game for up a me when Richardson came down to scout me f ollowing the game, he was impressed and invited me back to Buffalo,” explained Pellom The rest is etched in the record books but the highlight of his carrer was his sophomore season, when he topped the nation in rebounding “Leading the nation impressive and it’s was very something I’ll never forget the rest of my life, although ! would-have been happier if we had a winning season. We went 10-16, but I thought we had the talent logo a lot further, which got me very rebounds and block four shots. Although we lost the game, Danforth then came over to our assistant and said he would trade three of his players to get Pellom," stated Sam. Regrets Pellom has little regret about playing for the Bulls, but if had the chance to do it all over again, he would have picked a school with a deep basketball tradition. “1 was satisfied that I had an opportunity to play here, but I’d rather have played in a bigger program, where I would have gotten more recognition. Clark Hall is too outdated for a bigtime program,” stated Sam. “1 also regret playing in such an apathetic student atmosphere. The bigger the crowd, the more the athlete gets psyched up and is more apt to play up to his potential.” Pellom agrees with Athletic Director Ed Muto’s decision to drop to Division III competition. “It was a good move because we don’t have the money, facilities and players for a bigtime program. Although I’m glad I had an opportunity to play against players excellent and top competition, such as Syracuse and Detroit. What’s in Pellom’s future? “I hope 1 can make with the big boys,” he said, referring to the National Basketball Association. “I plan to stay in shape and hope to get a break,” said Peliom. If Sam doesn’t make the NBA he will give European basketball a shot. As a last resort, Sam would play semi-pro ball in the Eastern League. “It would be my last resort to play organized basketball, while keeping my name in the spotlight, hoping for a break,” said Sam.

According to Steel, Esposito explained that Richardson’s contract was not renewed because of a difference in philosophy about the direction of the basketball program under existing situation of Division III competition and resources. Steel said the Athletic Department’s philosophy is to produce the best possible program with the money available. The Department is committed to a Division III program, while Richardson often bemoaned the fact that Buffalo had dropped to Division III, saying he would prefer to stay in Division I.

Coalminers: holding out for safety and protection Editor's note: Steven Schneider monitors energy policy tfor the Ford Foundation-funded Third Century America Protect and Pacific News Service. by-Steven Schneider Pacific News Service over safety would have to go through die grievance procedure. Thus, if miners were to go out on strike in a safety dispute and an arbitrator subsequently ruled against them, “They would be subjected to discipline,” says Tom . Bethell, former director of the United Mine Workers’ research department and a leader in the Miners for Democracy movement. “So it compromises a right miners have had since 1947.” * When the nation’s coal miners voted down the latest contract proposal, their primary concern more than salaries was safety. Coal mining is still America’s most hazardous occupation. Roof falls, mine gas ignitions and the dismembering crush against rock of an errant machine remain an integral part of the miners’ job. Since 1970 more than 1,000 coal miners have died of work-related causes and another 12S,000 have been injured. Each year a working miner faces a oae-in-eight chance of suffering an - - injury- The fatality rate of U.S. miners it still roughly seven times the avenge for workers in all American industries. And the amount of time miners lose as a, result of injuries is nearly 10 times the national average. i Despite this record, however, the proposed contract would have weakened the safety protections the miners currently have mainly by weakening the miners’ right to strike. According to the - proposed contract, disagreements Indeed, as Common Cause charged in a recent study, “Three assistant administrators in the Mining Enforcement and Safety Administration came from copper or coal mining companies.” One of these three has now become a vice president for Pittston Coal and the top safety lawyer in the agency recently resigned to accept a position with the American Mining Congress, an industry organization. The Carter transition team Repressive contract criticized the assistant secretary The contract the miners for energy and minerals who rejected also would have made it supervised mine safety easier for companies to get rid of enforcement in the Nixon-Ford troublesome safety administrations, declaring that, committeemen, would have made “in the past four years, the it more difficult for the union to assistant has secretary not act quickly to correct safety supported the (MESA) program dangers and would have narrowed and has delayed or obstructed the circumstances under which a to improve mine safety miner may refuse to work because programs”. of poor safety conditions. But the Carter Administration Nor has federal law succeeded has done little to change the in insuring miner safety. Congress situation. Only recently did it passed the Federal Coal Mine begin actively considering people Health and Safety Act in 1969 for appointments in the mine and Nixon signed it into law only safety program, and thus after miners threatened a high-level positions are still in the nationwide strike. But hands of “acting” personnel. enforcement of that Act has been Other countries, however, have poor, largely because the Mining done much more to insure their Enforcement and Safety miners’ safety. Administration that was created In Great Britain, for example, to administer it has been miner fatality rates are between a dominated by political appointees quarter and a half what they are and former industry personnel. in the U.S. Great Britain relies exclusively on longwall a technique that protects workers from cave-ins by having a big machine collapse the tunnel immediately after mining. This safer technique, which requires a substantial capital Investment, has gained widespread almost mining — acceptance in Great Britain because the British coal industry is under national control and depends on a relatively few mines, each of which is quite large. In the U.S., however, where the industry is still characterized by many small the private mines, companies that own them have been unwilling to make the investment required for longwall mining. There is also a greater emphasis oa production in the U.S. than in Great Britain, where the average daily output per miner is only two to three tons, compared to eight to nine tons in the U.S. The UMW argues that slower, more careful work habits are required to protect workers’ health and safety. But the mine owners are determined to boost worker productivity, which has fallen from 14 tons per worker day in 1965 to 8.5 tons in 1976, Genera) the according to Accounting Office. Consequently, the mine owners have called for “production incentive plans,” which union officials believe, would create, “extremely dangerous” mine safety conditions. There is also greater emphasis on safety training in Great Britain. “There it’s a matter of months rather than hours, as it is here,” says L. Thomas Galloway, an attorney with the Center for Law and Social Policy who specializes in coal mine health and safety, in fact, new coal miners in the U.S. frequently have received no formal safety training whatsoever. Beginning March 9, however, federal legislation will require a minimum of 40 hours training for all new miners. “It’s a first faltering step,” says Galloway. “And we’re still far behind West European nations.” Yet, even with better federal legislation, Galloway insists “federal inspection people can never substitute for the right of miners to withdraw” from a situation they believe is unsafe. He pointed out that federal inspectors are in the mines only three percent of the time. Consequently, he says, “Workers must have the right to withdraw from the mines. And they must be protected from employer reprisals once they withdraw.” But so far the mine owners have been unwilling to agree with that, insisting on penalties in the event of “unwarranted” strikes. �m DIVERSITY determined his ripeness, his pen has never ceased to fldw. His by Manhal] Rosenthal Special Featurtt Editor current Fiedler has been characterized as one of America’s last great literary critics and deservedly so! His writings have had a profound impact upon the thoughts and attitudes which pervade our society. Fiedler recently stated, “I have only one principle; Never be a herb.

In 1939, he became a assistant at the teaching University of Wisconsin and shortly thereafter moved onto the University of Montana. However, fee second World War interrupted his academic life and Fiedler spent the next four and one half years as a Japanese interpreter. At the war’s end, Fiedler taught at Harvard and then returned to Montana, where he lectured for 23 years.

The $25 question: What the hell is the College Fee? by Slcott Lester Spectrum Staff Writer Students at every SUNY school pay a mandatory “College Fee” of $25 "each' year, yet many SUNY administrators and students seem to have virtually no knowledge of whit, the-fee covers. No specific breakdown of where the fee revenue goes appears to be available. Unlike tuition, this fee is not covered’ by the’Tnition Assistance (TAP) must, Program and therefore, be paid by all students. fee was mandatory The instituted in the early 1960’s to cover construction costs of student union buildings on SUNY campuses. “Prior to this action,” said Harry Spindler, of the SUNY Finance and Business office in Albany, “virtually no student centers existed.”. Chancellor for Deputy Governmental Relations Herbert Gordon said, “The New York Dormitory Authority floated bonds to cover the cost of the student union facilities. The Fee College .is a revenue ■mechanism that will allow the finance agency to meet its contract obligations with its bondholders.” Hidden purpose Spindler explained that “the Dormitory Authority falls about $20 million short of covering its debt repayment and operating from the revenues secured through dormitory room payment*.’Hence, the College Fee is simply an add-on to tuition to cover these expenses,” according expenses to Spindler. Associate Director of Student Accounts, Edward Saradoux, admitted to having virtually no knowledge of the fee. Dennis Delia, out-going President of Student Association (SA), said, “There is no real accurate accounting of the College Fee money.” Delia is suspect of the actual use of the fee. He suggested that it is collected for a stated reason, yet actually used for “any purpose which the State deems necessary.” ATTENTION ALL JUNIOR/SENIOR MANAGEMENT STUDENTS: Let's make the Undergraduate Management Assoc.

Student Association of the State University (SASU) delegate Allen Clifford was upset with the Fee and it suggested was analagous to the mandatory health fee. “No one seems to know what it is,” said Clifford, including both students and the administration. Clifford contends that “if we find out that the College Fee does indeed go to pay for the student unions, then the Administration has no right to force any student organization to leave Squire.” Delia has issued a memorandum to all student organizations presently occupying space in Squire, requesting that they consider a move to Talbert Hall on the Amherst Campus. These spaces are eventually University to be converted for use by the Dental School. in representatives SASU Albany were unsure of the use of the fee and seemed to agree with Delia’s suspicion. According to a State University spokesperson, there was concern within the SUNY sector that the College Fee was actually serving the same funding purpose as a tuition charge, but was not being covered by TAP because of its status as a “fee.” According to Harry Spindler, “Governor Carey has proposed that the College Fee be included as a fee that can be covered by TAP,” The proposal is currently being considered by the State Legislature as a part of the budget. A decision should be reached within the week. —Coker Chabad House's Rabbi Greenberg addresses memorial service gathering. The loss of 37 worlds should serve as an inspiration. Fountain area Memorial service is held for slain Israelis A couple hundred people gathered by the Squire Fountain area on Monday afternoon for a brief but potent memorial service for the 37 Israelis slain in Saturday’s attack on a tourist bus by A1 Fatah guerillas. 76 people were wounded in the surprise attack. The New York Times reported on Monday that Yasir Arafat, head of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO), A1 Fatah’s umbrella group, approved the raid, according to a close source. All of the 11 gunmen have been reported either captured or killed. The memorial ceremony was organized by University-affiliated the Jewish Student Union (JSU), Hillel House and organizations Chabad House. JSU Vice President Mark Siev explained that the organizers felt the ceremony should be held Monday because the impact and spontaneity were more important than affecting mass numbers of people. Even so, many people watched and many more stopped on their way to class to listen to the 30-minute service. — Attempt to prevent peace Chairman of the Council of Jewish Organizations Avi Granot told the audience that “the main reason the terrorists came to Israel was to try and stop peace negotiations.” Granot retold the story of the slayings, detailing that the woman who was killed after giving directions to the guerillas was an American Jew, the niece of Senator Abraham Ribicoff (R., Conn.). Her body is being flown back to this country. Rabbi Wolfe from Hillel Houje said prayers in Hebrew and then gave a short speech saying the terrorists are “inhuman” and “there will be reprisals.” Chabad House Rabbi Greenberg said, “We are not here only to mourn the loss of 37 worlds but their memory should serve as an inspiration to us.” Greenberg said that two things can be learned Jewish people should realize there is a Jewish spark within them and they should translate that spark into action. He stressed that “we must reaffirm our own Jewishness.” , — Protest Skokie Associate Director of the Jewish National Fund Samuel Prince sang a Hebrew prayer which “asks God to welcome their souls into Heaven.” Prince told the crowd that the United States is the greatest democracy in the world, but, he said, “as compared to what?” He suggested the American government stand up and identify the “killers” and the victims, and outline what action it will take. At the conclusion of the ceremony, the Israeli national anthem -v Hatikvah was sung, explained by Rabbi Wolfe to mean “the hope.’,*' the crowd dispersed, Siev said that Jews should join together and go to Skokie, Illinois where Nazis are planning to march through a large community of Holocaust survivors. Buses will leave for Skokie on April 19. For further information call 831-5513. Daniel S.

"They dm attend activities and movies that are right at their doorsteps.” Buffalo State University offers fireside a where lounge commuters and dorin residents mingle. Free coffee and tea are served. Capen Hall here offers a cold, uncarpeted lounge on the first floor. Presently, there is space allocated for a commuter lounge in Talbert Hall. However, no furniture has been provided, probably due to lack of funding, said Pasternak, there seems to be an overabundance of furniture in Complex, EQicott the she reported, claiming that this illustrates that priority is given to the comfort of dorm students, not Spectrum Staff Writer Newly elected Director of Student Affairs Lori Pasternak recently charged that the Student Affairs Task Force has dismissed the problems of the commuter, concentrating instead on troubles in the dorms. "The commuter is a shut-out student,” she said. Sixty percent of the undergraduates at this University are commuters; percent arc originally from Buffalo and still live at home. Commuter students generally feel that they aren't a part of the University. Most commuters are not involved in extra-curricular activities. Pasternak, a local who graduated from Kenmore East High School, observed, “The people I knew who came to school here scheduled their classes in the morning so that they were able to v(ork. They have kept their school friends instead of becoming involved in'school.”. Undoubtedly, cases such as this have contributed to commuter alienation. The Student Affairs Task Force 'should make it a point to consider the commuters when planning activities, stated . Pasternak. Afternoon programming would be more accessible to commute* as most can’t, or don’t want to return to night. school at Pasternak suggested that Friday afternoon beer blasts should bp held so that commuters would feel that they were getting their money’s worth from the annual M7 activity fees. This would also give them a chance to mix with dorm students, die said. New Yorkers. New Yorkers Commuters often claim that thisjs •'“New Yorker” school and that they become intimidated by reaident* who seem to run everything. Pasternak believes the reason for this is that commuters “run home right away,” leaving commuters. Parking is another cause of frustration. Because the Main Street Campus occupies a confined area, there is no room to build new lots. The University Police have not enforced parking commuter regulations against Veteran’s Administration Hospital employees who continue to park in Sherman Lot, Pasternak stated. Students often must park illegally to get into their classes on time. According to Commuter Affairs Coordinator Cheryl McNerney, faculty lots are not being fully utilized, yet students have not been allotted some of the extra At space. one time the dissembling of Annexes A and B for parking space was considered but they became designated insteid for Office space. During winter time, commuters complain that parking lots are not being plowed overnight. Robert Smith of the Civil Service Employees’ Association (CESA) explained that when workers were called in to plow at night, they often refused because they had tp work again early in the morning and had no place to catch a few hours sleep on campus. Recently a commuter grievance table was proposed for Haas Lounge in Squire Hall during the prime hours. Pasternak feels that more commuter feedback is needed but usually not sought, as surveys are generally circulated through on-campus housing only. “The important time to start getting involved school in activities is the freshman year,” Pasternak related. “Those students who are not involved tend to take a dimmer view towards UB,” she added. Student (SA) is Association not representative of the commuter population, she stated, because commuters are not involved and don’t even vote. Pasternak is in favor of bringing the Student Affairs Task Force in closer contact with Commuter Working Affairs. together will make a big difference, she said. McNemey was disappointed with the outcome of commuter-sponsored activities this year. Students cannot be forced to participate and often won’t participate because they don’t feel a part of the University,” she conveyed. ’ Token concern One commuter complained that although she sometimes goes to the Wilkeson Pub, she feels Sub Board meets / because there uncomfortable dorm residents seem so much more at home. In the first two years, most undergrads here are faced with large, impersonal lecture classes. McNerney claimed that many commuters transfer to Buff State after their freshman or sophomore years. Buff State is known to be a “local” school many students there are graduates of Buffalo area high schools. McNerney added that former SA Executive Vice President Andy LaLonde used to drop Buff State’s newspaper. The Reporter, into her mailbox, asking - why we weren’t more like Buff State with their numerous activities. McNerney pointed out that Buff State spends much more money on commuter their commuters Here SA pays for the difference spent on the bus token discounts sold by Commuter Affairs. Commuters pay $3 for $4 .worth of bus tokens. About $150 in tokens are sold per week. There have been commuter two breakfasts each month with free hot chocolate, coffee and 10-cent doughnuts. These breakfasts seem be the commuter-drawing activity because they are held in when most morning, the to commuters are present campus. At Canisius College about two-thirds of the students are commuters yet again it’s the dorm students who control activities, referring to their counterparts as “baggers.” Academic Affairs Task Force Meeting IMPORTANT Thursday, March 16 4 pm 332 Squire Hall ALL Academic clubs must attend Meet the new director of Academic Affairs There will be a Sub Board Board of Directors meeting at 7 p.m. on Thursday, March 16 in Squire 337- The entire University Community is invited to Refreshments will be served attend.

Two-fifths of today’s labor force is female. Most women have to work out of economic necessity, not for “pin money.” One out of every eight households is supported by a woman and among Blacks, the figure is one out of every three. These women do not have childcare facilities. There are 6.1 million children under school age with working mothers, yet only one million licensed childcare places.

Given the impossibility of obtaining an abortion without risks, the lack of childcare facilities, the absence of educational programs, and the pressure on the job, poor women must face a terrible dilemma. Health, Education, and Welfare provides funds for sterilization through Medicaid. In fact, each-year the government pays for 150,000 sterilizations. Here again, statistics are an eloquent testimony of the injustices forced upon Third World women. Up to now, 35 percent of the Puerto Rican women, 20 percent Black American, 21.7 percent Mexican American, and 14 percent Native American have been sterilized while the figure is only 8 percent among white women. To obtain these results, the government follows different methods. In most cases, it brainwashes women to accept sterilization under the illusion that they will acquire a decent standard of living. In other cases, it cuts welfare funds to those who refuse or simply it performs the operation without the knowledge or the consent of the woman. This government policy is no different from genocide since it is never up to the poor and Third World women to freely decide how her family should be. The State has in this case, usurped and taken this right back.

Page seven �m EDITORIAL Thursdays should he King coal That the principle issue over which coal miners are striking is safety conditions and pensions and not pay increase is indicative of the ill will of the coal company operators and the Carter adminsitration in not agreeing with their demands. The proposed contract, which United Mine Workers members rejected by more- than two to one, is not only sternly authoritarian and regressive, but is totally unrealistic and even ludicrous in light of Carter's proposed energy plans. 1985, a The President seeks to double coal production move which would also double the health and safety risks of coal mining, already considered to be the most hazardous occupation in the country. According to a recent article in the Village Voice, "the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NUOCH) says that if coal production climbs to a billion tons by 1985, 93 more miners than the 141 who were killed in 1976 will die. Disabling injuries will rise from 13,117 in 1976 to an estimated 16,195 in 1986.” The proposed contract, fully supported by Carter and his Labor Secretary, Ray Marshall, would destroy the "womb to womb" medical coverage which miners won in the late 1940s. They would now have to pay each year as much as $500 a family In hospital charges, the first $150 in doctor's fees and the first $50 for drugs. In addition, coverage would be changed to private insurance policies instead of being provided through benefit funds jointly administered by the UMW and the management. The retainer fees to support clinics and hospitals in remote regions of Appalachia where no other medical care is available would be cut off permanently. The proposed contract effectively undercuts the right to strike by giving mine management the ability to suspend or discharge strike leaders or workers who "instigate" wildcat strikes. It also allows companies to remove miners from safety committees, which have the power to shut down a mine when -an "imminent danger" exists. Obviously, the companies would be very hesitatnt to shut down a mine for any reason, because the loss in productivity would lead to a loss in profit. This minimum guarantee of safety the right to participate in a decision affecting the lives of everyone in the mine (anyone who could be trapped and possibly die in the event of a collapse) is imperative to any contractualks, and is rightly a currant focal point of dissension. The politics behind the bitter rift between coal companies and the United Mine Workers and government intervention in their disputes, are an important part of American labor history. If the companies win the current battle and Carter has eased the companies' plight by invoking the Taft Hartley Act, forcing the miners under law to return to work it will be a giant step backwards. But it is almost easy to see what forces are at work on Carter. The coal industry in the southern states is a prime example of American imperialism in its own backyard. Island Creek Coal Co. and Old Ben Coal Co., two of the nation's major coal producers, are owned respectively by Occidental Petroleum and Standard Oil of Ohio. Between 1973 and 1975, Occidental s coal profit totaled more than 1000 percent. Virtually all of which was used to expand oil exploration and production in Libya and the North Sea. When Standard OiTs coal profits doubled as a result of the Arab oil embargo, the windfall was used tp further finance oil production in Prudhoe Bay and to construct the Trans-Alaska pipeline, One reason these profits leave the coal states is that taxation of the politically powerful energy companies is inadequate. West Virginia reportedly loses at least $150 mil Hon per year because of low taxation of coal property. Appraisals for rich coal land are sometimes as low as $5 oer acre. — — — - ours prevented from using the facilities. vehemently object to the constant We scheduling of other activities on women’s night by To the Editor.

As I am sure you are aware, our clinical program is threatened with the loss of its American Psychological Association (APA) accreditation. If such an event were to occuf, the consequences would be grave for students, faculty and the University at large. Thus, I am writing both to express my profound concern regarding this matter and to urge you to take action to prevent the rescinding of accreditation. Our current tenuous accreditation status is due to the isolation from the larger University academic community and to the inadequate facilities of the Psychology Department at the Ridge Lea interim campus. The APA accreditation team, in November 1977, noted our insufficient research, clinic and student work space, lack of an on-campus library and inadequate transportation services to the campus for ourselves, potential subjects and clients. The - committee has.indicated that these are the primary grounds upon which accreditation would be withheld. While adapting to the limited facilities, in itself has engendered some hardship, the possible loss of accreditation of our program constitutes an even greater professional concern in that my doctoral degree will carry less weight when I am in competition for intership and job positions. When I first chose to enter this program, I certainly did not anticipate this possible decrement in professional that the status. If 1 were to have known accreditation of the program would be in danger, 1 would not have elected to come here; in fact, I would never have applied for admission. Additionally, the loss of accreditation would have a severely negative impact on the University and the community as well. High quality students will not apply for admission and our high quality faculty members will leave this department for positions at Psychology Departments where accredited status is Moreover, this secure. department was recently ranked among the top twenty If psychology nationally. programs, Waiting for the man To the Editor. Maybe I missed something in Brett Kline’s “Boredom and Awe” article (Friday, March 10). Why didn’t he pose any of the questions which he seems to feel others should have asked, or would have asked, if they only had the brains? My impression is that B. Kline didn’t say a word. If this is true how can he so vehemently downgrade his colleagues, “or maybe he doesn’t have a mind and is really a well dressed, articulate robot.” There stands The Man, waiting to answer your questions. What an opportunity. Confront the President with something very important to you and your friends: broken promises, federal spending, go nuts, raise verbal hell unconditional amnesty (while smiling politely at the S.S. men). Sure it’s like spitting into the wind but it beats sitting there quietly taking notes on how infantile or prejudiced or deviate the others appear to be. Also it gives you a little more basis to come home and write such a derrogatory article. A little more. At least we would get the feeling that you had participated and therefore possibly knew what you were talking accreditation were revoked, our department’s reputation for excellence would certainly decline; and, this regression in turn, would damage the academic credibility of the University, as a whole. The community of Buffalo presently benefits from services provided by our departmient. The students and faculty of our program now supply teaching, clinical, community and consultation services to numerous Western New York agencies, institutions and citizens. There are many individuals who will suffer from the loss of quality service if our department loses its accreditation, and subsequently its greatest resources its superior faculty and students. I cannot express strongly enough my request to have you do whatever is within your power to assure the accredited status of our Clinical Psychology Graduate Program, by the allocation of funds necessary to provide adequate space and facilities situated within the SUNY Buffalo academic community. I would greatly appreciate your concern and efforts to ameliorate this situation. ... about. As it is, 1 found myself placing you somewhere between the awe struck (?)

M Cheryl Butensky Clinical Psychology Graduate Student Henry Woodburn Fellow Intern, University Counseling Center - SUNY Buffalo Patricia Den tier Ticket to Spring Guest Opinio been concerned about how my fellow students preceive SA, and whether they feel this transfer of responsibility affects them at all. 1 would like to believe that I am becoming part of a student government that has the respect and support of its constituency. My better sense tells me that student government at UB is ignored by the great majority of the student body, and mocked by most of the rest. Year after year, the issue of student involvement (or rather the lack of it) comes to the forefront of SA campaigns; “By inspiring confidence and creating meaningful change within SA we will bring student so say the government back to the students” politicians. It is unfortunate that as the year wears ... on, their administration begins to resemble quite closely that of their predecessors’. In my three years at UB, 1 have yet to see student involvement increase significantly. Case in point this past election, in which only 20 percent of the undergraduate population voted (more or less the same as last year). Naturally, as a newly elected officer, student disregard (“apathy" is too kind a word) disturbs me a great deal. My greatest fear is that I am powerless to do anything about it. It is no consolation that because pf problems pecular to this University, apathy here is somewhat justified. We are often forced to deal with an administration and faculty that are, at times, characterized chiefly by their insensitivity and narrow-mindedness. There can be no doubt that their attitude contributes to an absence of interest on the part of students. In addition, having the University separated into three campuses has a more stuperous effect on the students (because we are the ones that must ride the buses) than any other group on campus. Being in a constant state of disorientation is not condusive to motivating student support for anything. Identfying the problem is relatively simple . . . providing the answer is much more difficult, and something that I alone cannot accomplish Therefore, instead of providing an answer, let this letter be considered a plea to all students. In the past, the following rationale has been attempted to convince students that it is in their best interest to take an active role in'SA: “Since we ad pay $67,00 (now $70.00) to SA each of us should have some say on how that money is spent.” Not only has this rationale failed completely in generating student participation, but its line of reasoning avoids the more vital justification for a heightening of student concern. At this University, every major decision that is made becomes an administrative decision. Input from SA is often solicited, and sometimes even considered, but if there is any difference in our desires and those of the administration, their solution always becomes the solution. Believe it or not, this is not entirely the fault of our administration. Evil men do not inhabit Capen Hall As a result of our complete uninvolvement in the issues and decisions of this University (which affect our lives directly) we have promoted a void in leadership. The men that sit in Capen Hall have become less and less facilitators of growth in our community and more and more controllers of a beleagered University. When we (as student leaders) approach these men, how can we expect them to respect our opinion if we have no student support? Only if a significant number of students take an active interest in the issues that affest them will administrators be willing to listen and show concern for their needs. Until this happens student opinion into what looked like as there were cars a space, parked on either side of it, and it didn’t appear that by parking there I was hampering or blocking any traffic. Besides this, I, as well as countless other students have parked this way several times in this and other lots during the past semester. I have never seen any tickets on cars for this, and the lady at the ‘ Amherst Town Hall who takes the fine money agreed that she seldom sees any for violation no. 18, as it’s numbered on your tickets. Did you wait until the first nice day of spring to suddenly enforce this? Why? Was it too cold, or too much of a bother for you during the winter? Anyway, most students are impoverished to begin with, and it’s pretty ludicrous to pay $10.00 for a “violation” such as this one. It’s things like this that make you guys so “popular” on 1 campus. will remain unrecognized.

Shcharansky, a citizen of the Soviet Union, was arrested on June 2, 1977 and charged with treason and espionage under the Soviet Driminal Code. If convicted, he could be sentenced to death. Shcharanslcy' fs first Jewish activist to be charged with treason by the Soviet Union since 1970. He Is specifically charged with conspiring to pass Soviet military secrets to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The Shcharansky case is seen as a to Soviet and Jewish dissidents that the Soviet Union intends to crack-down on anyone not conforming to Soviet dogma. Despite President Carter’s declaration that Shcharansky has “never had any sort of relationship, to our knowledge, with the CIA,” the Soviets continue to hold him. It is hoped that the Soviet Union will respond to public pressure generated by the publicity of the nationwide hunger strike and release Shcharansky. message It’s kickoff time for IRC elections Campaigning has begun for the Kinnear According to IRC spokesmen, Inter Residence Council (IRC) two main issues are expected March the ejections which will be held to be the formation of fraternities 20 and 21.

The intramural basketball team, Wesley’s Wild Bunch, was disqualified from the semifinals by Director of Intramurals and Recreation William Monkarsh last Friday. Director of Basketball and Wesley team member Steve Allen sajd, “It was felt that 1 should not be playing on a team in the playoffs since I run the league and there may be political implications. There was also a question about one team member who isn’t a full time student.” According to Allen, the rules regarding the status of players are unclear. Presently, the only * requirement for players is the possession of either a valid ID or recreation card. ’The standing of non-students in intramurals is tough to tell. We will be having a meeting soon to decide the matter.” Some members of the Independence of Puerto Rico team,.which entered the playoffs by virtue of Wesley’s disqualification, were outraged because they were not notified of the change. Allen responded, “The team captain was notified of the change Friday night. Sometimes a captain doesn’t get in touch with the other players so there may be confusion.” go away! the Independence de Puerto Rico are the underdogs in the matchup.

Penn State captured the tournament title Traditionally, many of the best lencers in the country compete in the tournament. The prestigious was organized over ago at the University of Buffalo. Over the years, Buffalo has racked up more championships than any other team. Lately, though, due to budget cuts and the lack of a long-term coaching staff, UB fencers have not done as well in the tournament. In the early going, the Bulls’ inexperience in fencing such top-notch competition manifested itself with the Buffalo fencers losing nine of the first ten bouts. Captain Jon Solomon, who had lost only one bout the whole season, was defeated by fencers from Penn State and Pace University in his first two bouts. event twenty-five years Sluggish Solomon After that early sluggishness, though, Solomon went on to whip some of the best foil fencers in the competition. Solomon finished by winning only five of eleven bouts, and thus failed to even reach the finals of the event many thought he would win. “I just wasn’t getting the touches when 1 needed them today,” explained Solomon. The other toiler, Rich Sherman was nipped in all four of his overtime bouts and finished with a 3-8 record for the day. The same pattern developed i the sabre and epee events the Bulls kept losing until about a third of the competition was over. Then, when many of the Bulls’ hopes for making the nationals had been speared away, the fencers regained the feisty forthrightness that was characteristic of them during the season, and came back to win many bouts. = — losing his first couple bouts. Wong then staged the near-comeback of the afternoon, demolishing after opponent, opponent amazing the spectators with his lightning darts and deadly thrashes. In the late-going, Wong was the only UB fencer left with chances to make the finals. Wong needed to win his last three bouts against the best fencers of the competition. Wong whacked away at the first two to the crowd’s delight. In the deciding bout, however, Wong was not rested. “I didn’t have time to think,” said Wong. “The directing went too fast.” Wong lost his big to Nate Graham of Johns Hopkins by the score of 5 to 3.

Page thirteert �John Pederson Greg Fisher Mike Betz A new season to begin for the Baseball Bulls by Marie Meltzer hurlers are junior righties Mike Betz and Greg Fisher. Fisher tossed a no-hitter against Canisius last fall, racking up ten strikeouts and walking only one in the seven inning effort. UB will put heavy emphasis on the running game this year. “We have great team speed,” Montour said, “probably the best of apy UB team.” Assistant Sports Editor The baseball Bulls, Buffalo’s only remaining Division 1 team, will begin their 30th season in a few weeks, in search of their third playoff berth in three years. “We have a good team with a possibility of being a great team," commented assistant coach Gary Montour. “We have enough talent.” Last spring, Buffalo coach Bill Monkarsh was faced with the task of plugging holes left by the graduation of several stars. The young Bulls gained some much needed experience, and in the process, qualified for the playoffs and surpassed Monkarsh’a goal of a .500 season by going 24-20. This season, more is expected from m them. UB lost only three players from last spring’s team. Gone are catcher Mike Dixon (.457, 5 homeis), who was drafted by the Phillies; pitcher Bill Casbolt (9-5, 2.91 ERA), who was signed by Kansas City; and shortstop lack Kaminska (.350, 14 stolen bases). “We have a great nucleus to come back to,” said Montour, Fine garden At first base, the Bulls have Ed Durkin, who tri-captain manned the hot comer last year, and free swinging southpaw John White. It seems likely that one of those two will wind up at DH. Patrolling the outfield for the Bulls will be juniors Jim Wojcik (center) and John Pedersen (left) and sophomore Scott Raimondo (right). Montour rates Pederson a pro prospect. All three outfielders possess fine speed and strong throwing arms. The pitching situation is unclear. Lefty Casbolt carried the brunt of the pitching load last year, pitching more tbah twice as many innings as any other Bull. Monkarsh will choose his pitching staff from 24 pitchers. Key ■ Two highly rated mound recruits are lefty Joe Hesketh and righty Dennis Howard. Rich Brooks, Dave Borsuk, Ron Nero, Don Griebner and Jim Rodriguez will all be trying to crack the rotation. “We have a lot of throwers,” said Montour. “We’ll find out how many pitchers we have in Florida. If we get good pitching I think we’ll have enough hitting to have a great team.” School The Bulls against George University, Navy, opener of Just how far the Bulls can go this year remains to be seen. If they finish in the top 12 among the 40 or so ECAC Division 1 schools, they’ll make the playoffs for the third straight year. Washington Who’s Mr. Greater Buffalo?

In the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) post season tournament last spring, Ganci went nine for thirteen with three doubles, and he nailed three of the four runners that tried to steal on him. He is considered the Bulls’ leading power threat. Tri-captain Mike Groh will drift to third base this year, Groh was a first team EtAC all-star at second base last year and a second team selection in 1976. The smooth fielding senior has played second, short and third during his UB career. “Mike is one of the best all around infielders ever to don the UB blue and whites,” Montour said. Last year, Groh and Kaminska combined to turn over a UB record 38 double plays. Sophomores Mike Morloek and Bat Raimondo will be keystone partners in 1978.

Parker Campus Editor Nationwide searches which could dramatically affect the future of this University are underway for candidates to fill five vacant administrative posts. Candidates for the middle level administrative position of Dean are being sought for the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics (FNSM),' Social Sciences, Division of Continuing Education (DCE), The Colleges and a new combined position of Undergraduate Division of Education (DUE) and Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs. The Dean is the chief and academic administrative officer for each faculty. Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn, who commissioned the search committees said, “Although we hope all of these searches can result in appointments to these positions by 1978 fall semester, are determined that the searches be full and rigorous.” He stipulated that persons to be considered have should “demonstrated an understanding of scholarly excellence and have a grasp of problems, trends and issues in related disciplines and be we able to provide intellectual and a on leadership academic faculty-wide basis. Bunn suggested that problems such as the separation of the campuses and the inability to see when the new campus will be completed requires that an administrator here will have to be more concerned about facilities and contingencies than at other universities. “However,” he said, “this campus clearly enjoys a reputation for quality education and research. It is still seen as the most developed campus within THE SEARCH: Vice President for Academic Affairs of Undergraduate Education Walter Kunz (left) and Ronald F.

He claimed it is acknowledged that Spitzburg it leaving. faculty members may be earning more than the Deans. Acting Dean of Continuing Education Donald Brutvan, who will probably be a candidate for that Deanship, agreed that this University is in many ways, too bureaucratic. He said, “Effects of external the departments on University more require dependence on operational and procedures regulations imposed by Albany.” He added that the lack of campus autonomy that exists here is what one would expect, given the current —Drablk NUCLEAR 600 pounds of FAREWELL: potentially dangerous radioactive fuel has been given the send-off to a reprocessing plant in Idaho as the sordid saga of the campus Nuclear Reactor continues. Radioactive fuel transferred After considerable controversy about possible hazards, the Nuclear Science and Technology Facility has successfully boarded 600 pounds of radioactive fuel for transfer to a reprocessing plant in Idaho. The campus Nuclear Reactor was shut down October 7 by the Federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) pending the repair of a leaking pipe beneath the floor of the reactor. The fuel was sitting on the floor of the reactor, necessitating the fuel’s removal. Reactor officials sought to temporarily move the nuclear fuel to an interim storage tank within the Nuclear Reactor. That move was thwarted by two groups the North Buffalo Food Coop and the University Community Concerned About the Reactor (UCARE) who filed petitions with the NRC alleging unsafe procedures in the planned removal of the radioactive material. The petitions would have forced the NRC to hold an intervening hearing to 'determine the validity of the Coop’s and UCARE’t argument. nuclear - Reactor officials abandoned the fuel transfer plan since the hearings called for in the petitions would have stretched past the scheduled removal of the radioactive rods. The nuclear fuel was placed in a 12-ton cask for the trip to the Federal Department of Energy’s (DOE) reprocessing plant in Idaho Falls, Idaho. The cask, the only one in the world licensed to transport radioactive wastes of the type produced by the Campus Reactor, is especially built to withstand high impact. It will ride atop a flat bed truck during the trip to Idaho. During the transfer of the cask to the truck, radiation was measured through the use of Geiger counters. According to Associate Director of the Center Martin Haas, the danger from radiation leakage is extremely slight due to the careful construction of the cask and the precautions taken during its transfer. The Campus Nuclear Reactor received a shipment of new fuel two weeks ago from the DOE and is now back in operation. institutional organization of the State, Bunn commented, “It is a sobering experience to be an administrator within SUNY. Cumulative problem Professor Howard Foster, who is chairing the search for Dean of Continuing Education, said the problem was critical to fhe future of this University because “it’s hard to fill a void when you have a large number of positions vacant.” He termed the problem of a middle level administrative turnover ak “cumulative” and added that his committee is progressing smoothly. To date, it has received approximately 40 Provost of Social Sciences Arthur Butler's appointment is up. applicants. Dean of the Colleges Irving Spitzberg, who will resign his post in September, believes it is critical that the positions are filled with the very best people and suggested that although there are negative factors to overcome, “the Colleges are an exciting place to be a wonderful learning experience.” Stressing that the Colleges have an atmosphere where there is a great deal of freedom, Spitzberg — —continued on page 6— Provost of Natural Sciaticas and Mathamatics Paul FUitan will be replaced. �Englisfyrequirement examined once more Editor’s note: It was once assumed that students entered the world of higher education already schooled in the "Three R’s. With the drop in verbal SA T scores now well documented across the nation, the middle R has been thrust into the academic spotlight. Many educators fear they are graduating near-illiterates students gorged with math and sciences and starved in the basics of the English language. At this University there is no writing writing course or required test needed for competency admission. Are students here unskilled in putting their thoughts on paper f The Spectrum surveyed the University to find out. ,‘Jb" ” v . . ■ v by Terry Martin Spectrum.Staff Writer It hat been ten years since the English requirement was dropped at this University by a Faculty Senate resolution. Since that time, many professors maintain the quality of student writing has dropped, although the factors involved are not easily discernible. But all agree that tin level of writing isn’t and never has been up to acceptable levels, and that some demonstration of at least minimal writing ability should precede the awarding of a degree. (Yes, Virginia, there are illiterate College Graduates.) Chairman of the Faculty Jonathan Reichert Senate suggested that an exam be taken in the sophomore year testing each student’s basic writing skills before the student is allowed to proceed. Reichert cautioned that he didn’t speak for the whole Faculty Senate on this issue. ‘Not interesting anyway’ The question of writing was formally addressed, never according to Baumer. English was one of several requirements along with math, science, and in some cases, language, that were cut as a package to enable the four-course load to work. Baumer noted that the required English class is not doing all that was hoped for, and that it would indeed be hard now fqr the Faculty Senate to decide for example that the English requirement should be reinstated and the math shouldn’t. This would require value judgements about which is more important, he said. Acting University Dean Walter Kunz thinks that the University has a responsibility to see that each student has contact with the basic skills within the framework of general education, although not necessarily inside existing courses. Kunz agreed with Baumer that the required English course has not been yery successful. ‘'When it is required, people who offer it aren’t that interested because they have a captured audience, and thfe subject is riot that interesting anyway, to teach or to learn,” commented Kunz. . ***** April 14th Be the next Tony AAanero Register now to dance!! c -H Community Applications at: Action Corps or 545 Squire Hall SUNY At Buffalo Buffalo, N.Y. 14214 167 AAFCA (Student Affairs) (716) 831-5752 t. . - ELECTION FORUMS Come meet the candidates LEHMAN LOUNGE — Monday, March 13 at 9:30 pm fiJ it II i PORTER CAFETERIA !

He also said that he had not noticed a decline in writing ability and that the “back to basics" preaching missed the real point. “We were never at the basics to begin with,” asserted Carrithers. “There has always been a problem with writing.” Professor Raymond Federman of the English Department doesn’t think that a required course is the answer. “It must be an awareness within the student that says T must learn how to write’,” he maintained, “but I don’t know how it can be gotten.” Federman felt that the quality of writing hat gone down recently but pointed to a drop in reading as the culprit, When asked if he thought lack of writing skill decreases the value of a student’s college degree, he ■” Vice President and replied, “To hell with the degree for Finance and it decreases the value of his William Baumer overall effectiveness.” t Muscular Dystrophy DANCE MARATHON 30 hours system. . of the History Department Clifton Yearley also championed the idea of a minimum standard. However, he felt that it wasn’t necessarily the job of the English Department to teach students how to write. “The overall quality of writing has gone down in recent years, but this serves -to show that we as educators aren’t doing our job,” said Yearley. “Students, especially at this University, are very trainable, and if each department undertook to teach their students we would probably notice a distinct improvement within a year.” The value of a college degree drops as increasing numbers of poor writers are turned loose, Yearley felt. Chairman of the Political Science Department Robert Stern said, “A course requirement would be useful unless a process can be found to determine proficiency.” Stern, who hasn’t noticed much change in the f writing recently, noted ost students understand and syntax, but they more comfortable with ge.

It is only in the past decade that the public has put strong pressure on the to assist the government in handicapped attaining recognition. The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 requires all institutions in this country to be physically accessible by 1980. The act is equal in significance to the as was the handicapped Thirteenth Amendment (freeing the slaves) to blacks. It wasn’t until 40 years after the 13th Amendment that any kind of organization formed dedicated to the political and social reform of black people.

The American Civil Liberties Union in Buffalo claims that a federally funded project called The Foundation for the Handicapped exists in South Bend, Indiana. However, the Clearing House for the Handicapped, another federal which agency dispenses information on the subject, has never heard of the project. The Clearing Hopse cited the American Coalition of Citizens with Disabilities (ACCD) as the most influential movement in the country. Chief Helga Roth said that 50 of the 200 national organizations of those with specific disabilities are affiliated with ACCD. “The ACCD is constantly putting pressure on (Capitol) Hill, in order to familiarize with Congress programs needed for rehabilitation.” Harry Wilkenson, an executive director of the National Association of Retarded Citizens (NARC), isn’t too familiar with the ACCD, which Roth identified.

I can’t be sure as to what degree.” The first wave of the women’s Wijkenson was not aware of the existence of the Foundation for the Handicapped. It is apparent that there is no solid handicap movement at the present time but interest is growing. The ACCD has the participation of 25 percent of the private organizations in the country. NARC has 1800 units around the United States devoted to the development of the retarded. There are many organizations of the same caliber but there is general lack of cohesion. Before a unified movement can be established. in the late 19th broke much like the handicap movement today. In 1869 the National Women's Suffrage Association (NWSA) was formed to oppose giving voting rights exclusively to black men NWSA was relatively influential but was the biggest women’s group at that time. Twenty-one years later the NWSA was joined by another group, forming the National American Women’s Suffrage Association (NAWSA). In 1920 women gained the vote and NAWSA became the League of Woman Voters, a group still in movement century Lawsuits? It took women more than a half a century to form a consistent organization to fight for social and political reform. Handicap goals must also be long-range. Many institutions will undoubtedly request deadline extensions for meeting the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare’s accessibility requirements. Litigation by the handicapped is sure to follow. The movement at this University has progressed rapidly. The Independents have attracted other university groups to share their interest and fight to attain full accessibility to campus facilities. NYPIRG, the Office of Services for the Handicapped, Group Legal Services and the Physical Therapy Association have informally coalesced and are working vigorously. April 14 has been tentatively scheduled as Handicap Awareness Day here. Local organizations are being invited to demonstrate different facets of the handicap culture. Many displays are planned where one may check out items such as talking calculators and braille menus. The handicapped issue is mushrooming as concern for the handicapped at this University proves. But it will be a long time before a concrete victory is obtained. It wasn’t until 90 years after the Civil War that the NAACP won its famous segregation ~casfe, Brown v. Topeka Board of Education in 1954. If it’s going to take 90 years for the handicapped, it is worth starting now. Monday, 13 March 1978 . The Spectrum .

CA Office Manager Lucy Cohane siad the Alliance hopes to collect a half a million dollars in bills by April ,15, influence NFG.” Citizen Alliance strongly maintains that NFG is reaping excess profits at the expense of its customers. Last winter was the coldest in history and brought in record profits for NFG. Yet, NFG last July requested a $6.7 million rate hike which it received from the Public Service Commission (PSC) just prior to the onset of this winter. This winter, the second coldest on record, is turning into spring as NFG is now requesting another annual rate hike of $41 million. Shortly before this winter, NFG changed its tax accounting procedures to a practice, legal but know as gimmicky, gas “normalization.” The company now bills its customers for taxes that it does not pay to the Internal Revenue Service. Called “phanton taxes,” they amount to a $1 million per year rate increase that doesn’t show any profit statement on the company’s books.

NFG’s stockholders are guaranteed a dividend and profit that far exceeds the average percent profit of the average company in Western New York. Stockholders’ equity is guaranteed by law which the CA wants lowered to 10 percent. At 12.3 percent, stocks return a 8 percent dividend even in bad years.

The bonuses and the $3.5 million in pay totaled $2 million less than the amount not paid to striking workers.

NYPIRG’s Esther Misrahi said, “NFG admitted to the PSC that they have plenty of natural gas and that it doesn’t even have to use SNG. They will have all the gas they need from local wells until 1982.” CA boycott material states that the halting of SNG could reduce rates usage immediately by ten percent. Besides the boycott,’'Citizen Alliance is suporting an effort by the People’s Power Coalition (PPC) to get the city to purchase local utilities.

The committee forwarded Hovorka’s report to University President Robert Ketter and requested his response. The report cites 109 cases of late filing of grade reports at the undergraduate level and 116 cases in graduate level courses. This 4 approximately represents percent of all courses offered at Buffalo. this is a small Although percentage, the report cites that the majority of these late filings appear in “clusters” in a few undisclosed In his departments. Hovorka report, emphasized that the minority of delinquent grade reports were from small classes (10 people or less) and, as a result, the number students of affected is substantially less that the large number of courses involved would indicate. Follow-ups Hovorka believes that these small classes are indpendent study groups, and suggests that the very nature of an independent study course makes it unreasonable to expect the grades to be in on time due to continuing research or studies which cannot be limited to the thirteen week semester. Hovorka said, “The report offers several recommendations which could make a large problem into a small one: a small problem we can live with ” One of these suggestions is that the Administration ask each department chairman to “follow-up” on grades. Hovorka believes a follow-up of this kind, within a set period (72 hours or one week), would be relatively to accomplish. easy In departments where the faculty is responsible for personally turning final grade reports to in Admissions and Records (A & R), he suggests A & R call the department chairperson grade reports are not submitted on time. Although he admits that 72 hours may not be enough time, Hovorka believes that if chairpersons were asked to follow-up on these courses, the problem would be “substantially alleviated.” de-emphasize the problem. the seriousness of Hovorka found the problem to not as bad as he originally expected, but said a continuing be study Not that bad Hovorka also recommended a review or A & R. He believes that a review of the internal problems as seen by the A & R staff would be useful in eliminating small delays. He said these small delays are “in critical areas which create long delays in the final output of the hundreds of thousands of records that must be processed.” Throughout Hovorka —Jenson Professor Edward Hovorka the report, attempted to of the grading process should be undertaken in order to the pinpoint problem more precisely, Hovorka expressed concern about t,he ‘‘spirit of professionalism” at this University, therefore, would not suggest sanctions on faculty members who are delinquent in their grading policies. He claimed the imposition of sanctions on faculty members who are involved will not ameliorate the problem. Monday, 13 March 1978 .

Your editorial in . last Wednesday’s The Spectrum concerning the recent murder of a student on campus was very ignorant and in extremely poor taste. How can you accuse the local papers of making the incident into front page news just because it happened at this University? It would have been front; page news even if it had happened across the street at a gas station. Did you really expect the local papers to bury the incident on pg. 38? You write about “often-heard comments being passed about bn the buses, in the hallways and on the walkways leading tft class and they are stupid is that wild and ignorantly typical of students here Puerto Ricans are running around Ellicott looking for blood.” We wonder where you have been hearing these comments? Certainly not in the same buses, hallways and walkways we’ve been using. On the contrary,' we have heard an almost universal and we have not heard of any expression of grief fears of wild Puerto Ricans running around the school looking for blood. You claim these alleged statements are “ignorantly typical of students here.” This is one of the most asinine statements ever printed in The Spectrum. Yes, there are a small The boycott of National Fuel Gas bills is not working effectively and may prove nothing positive by April 15, when a decision on whether to continue will be made. Yet, NFG is still raping its customers of gas and money; it probably will be granted another rate increase and there will be no moratorium on shut-offs during the cold winter months, now or in the future. So who is winning and who is losing? Two elderly citizens have died of exposure and the NFG officials who turned off their heat shrugged off the deaths as incidental. Official luck is with them; the major dailies in this city have not taken the boycott seriously and have, in facf, refused to take ads from the Citizen Alliance urging Buffalo residents to send it their gas bills. That pnly some 300 people have sent their bills to the Alliance best characterizes the lack of credibility in the boycott's effectiveness. If at best,200 of those 300 are students at this University living in North Buffalo, and if an average of four students live in one apartment together, then only 800 out of 7500 students in the area are participating in the boycott. Those figure* stink; then reek of middle-of-the-roaduninterest and complacent boredom. Students should be most interested and most willing to take a chance on the boycott at least because they have the least to loose. Students also have the least to gain, however, given that their lower bills would be most temporary and that fact that they often regroup and pay biIls-under different names front year to year.

You wonder about “how a student can be swallowed up by this University feeling alienated, isolated and having no family, emerge almost four years later frustrated to the point of insanity, finally kill someone and ! have his o'Wn mental digression go uncared for.” Afe you saying that the University could have predicted and prevented this tragedy? If so, how? Are you blaming the Ellicott Complex for his death? It has been blamed for just about everything but the Blizzard of ’77. You state that this death should be used to impress upon Albany the need for a fieldhouse and a full-time doctor. We don’t feel this incident should be used for that purpose there are certainly better ways to accomplish these goals. Even so, although a fieldhouse and a full-time doctor are urgently needed, we question whether they could have prevented the tragedy, as you seem to imply.

The article, “Autocratic ’Editors,” was written by a one Daniel J. Isaacs. As a working commuting student, 1 Ijad little time to get information on the candidates running for SA Elections.

Sean Egan should not be elected to the Treasurer “ _ Joel Greenia Guest Opinio by Walter Simpson The woods were silent expect for the gentle hiss of the wind..I stood motionless, overwhelmed by the stillness and the beauty. 1 was filled with the quiet joy that comes from feeling part of the earth, a feeling that never comes to me when I’m in the city. The lake unfolded before me, its cover of ice and snow brilliant in the sunshine. I had to squint to take it in. The glistening expanse of pure white, reaching toward the distant horizon, was bordered by spruce and hardwood, the Canadian bush so impassible in the summer, but nbw laid jbare and accessible to one on snowshoes. Here and there, tracks of humans and other animals wove this way and that, crisscrossing the nearest bay and the hillside that rose from its far shore. 1 stood there perched on my hilltop, buoyed by the overgrown feet I had strapped on minutes before. The forest floor, buried by numerous snowfalls, was three feed below me. Such altitude! I felt like I was flying, walking on air. Indeed, how could I have been higher?! On this walk, I tested the versatility of the snowshoe by sliding down a thirty foot snowback. Yes, snowshoes can be skis, and steep slopes are to be enjoyed, not circumvented. 1 laughed to myself when one of my shoes slipped off and I sank thigh-deep into the snow. Nature’s joke, reminding me once again that I was flying. I am just back from four days in Algonquin Park, Ontario. As I look over the pages of my appointment calendar, I can see a difference: most of the pages are cluttered with numerous reminders to attend meetings, teach classes, run errands, and make phone calls; in contrast, the days I spent in Algonquin are blank, completely empty. Yet, how full those days were! In the summer, canoe trippers paddle Algonquin’s lakes in search of beauty, solitude, and peace. It’s different in the winter, though what’s sought is the same. Intimate and prolonged contact with nature is tonic for the soul. I felt it simplifying my overcomplicated life. My retreat pulled together all my disparate and fragmented parts. Wilderness is nature left intact, its fabric and untrampled, undeveloped, unbroken, unexploited. It’s an area free of roads and other conveniences. Wilderness cannot be civilized, mastered, or made easy. By definition, it is primitive and untamed, it calls for a physical life. But what is wrong with that? In the city, we wear ourselves out without even physicall exerting ourselves. Our bodies go to waste behind machines, steering wheels. Our fatigue is desks, and schizophrenic: our minds are preoccupied, worried; our bodies are disconnected, atrophied But hauling logs, cutting and splitting wood, and tending the fire restore wholeness. A long hike on snowshoes feels good and makes for a restful night. As snowmobiling, open pit mining, clearcutting, and the press of growing human numbers make wilderness an endangered species, we should recall Thoreau’s statement that “in wilderness is the preservation of the world.” We cannot live by that which is man-made alone. We need wilderness. Indeed, the world will shrink to unbearable proportions if the last remaining great expanses of wilderness, like those in Alaska and the Amazon, are dug up, paved over, or turned into plastic. The more of the earth that we inhabit, the mor uninhabitable it will become. “Man,” says Grey Owl, “should enter the woods, not with any conquistador obsession or mighty hunter complex . . . but rather with the awe, and not a little of the veneration, of one who steps within the portals of some vast and ancient edifice of wonderous architecture. For many a man who would consider himself the master of all he surveys would do well, when setting foot in the forest, to take off , not only his hat but his shoes too . . Time and time again, when I’ve journeyed into the wilderness, I’ve thought, “Here is my cathedral.” I’ve felt my spirit lifted with the trees that soar into the sky. From my hilltop overlooking the lake, I can see my life in perspective and the world at peace. ” . . Free the Wilmington Ten To the Editor. On January 23 of this year, North Carolina Governor James Hunt refused to grant freedom to the Wilmington Ten. (See Wednesday’s The Spectrum). The Ten are nine Black men and a white woman, framed by state authorities on a 1971 arson charge due to their civil rights activities. Since their conviction that year, the three major prosecution witnesses have recanted their testimony, stating that the prosecutor and other North Carolina officials conspired to intimidate and bribe witnesses to give false evidence. According to Representative Robert Drinan of Massachusetts, “three witnesses have come out and said that the District Attorney actually paid them to give the evidence that they did.” Although Governor Hunt is tiding to cover up the racism and lack of human rights in North FEEDBACK Psychology situation To the Editor Several weeks ago, the UB Clinical Psych Dept, learned that it was in danger of loosing accreditation due to inadequate facilities at Ridge Lea. This loss of accreditation would devastate the Clinical Dept., as it would stimulate a mass exodus of psychology professors and graduate students to other schools, and would preclude the awarding of grants for the support of the graduate students that remain. Three weeks ago, the Psychology Dept, received a commitment from President Ketter to ask for $100,000 to upgrade the Ridge Lea Campus (this would benefit all the departments that remain at Ridge Lea) and $50,000 for the planning of the Psych Department’s move to the Main Street campus. This funding is dependent upon Governor Cary's approval of UB’s supplemental budget, so our future is not yet -assured. Nor can we assume that the APA accreditation committee will approve our department given the proposed changes. One of the APA criteria for accreditation is administrative support of the department in question. Prior administrative commitments to our department have not been honored, as they were based on incomplete or inaccurate information. Consequently, it is especially important that the UB administration maintain its most recent commitment to the Psych Department. Last week the Graduate Psychology Association circulated a petition opposing the decision to keep the Psych Department at Ridge Lea longer than the time necessary for the renovation of Parker Hall on the Main Street campus. We were not able to canvas the entire body of psychology students due to time limitations. However, we did receive 160 petitions from undergraduate psychology students and 70 petitions from graduate students and professors. So it is clear that there is considerable sympathy for the the Department’s situation amongst Clinical psychology students and faculty at UB. Attached to the petition was a list of 41 possible changes for the revitalization of Ridge Lea for the two-year period needed to renovate Parker Hall. The students were asked to check 10 changes that they felt were essential to the revitalization of the Ridge Lea campus. The undergraduate and graduate students’ combined requests in order of priority were: 1) a library with complete services at Ridge Lea; 2) improved eating facilities and dining area; 3) a lounge for students; 4) free photocopying services as at the HSL; 5) improved clinic facilities; 6) more office and research space; 7) study areas for students; 8) money for symposia and speakers; 9) increased bus services (7 days a week) and 10) continued computer services at RL. The undergraduate, graduate and faculty requests differed primarily in the undergraduates’ greater need for a lounge and study areas, and the graduate students’ and facultys’ greater concern that faculty lines and graduate support lines be increased. It is significant that there is a good deal of overlap between these requests and the APA guidelines for facilities. These guidelines call for: 1) adequate work; office and research space for faculty and students; 2) teaching facilities, including seminar and observation rooms; 3) complete library facilities; 4) calculators, typewriters and computer facilities, among other things. This overlap highlights the desperate need for temporary revitalization of RL and the hastened move of the Psychology Department to the Main Street campus. This survey was conducted in part to provide some practical student feedback concerning the revitalization of Ridge Lea. The administration and the Psychology Department leadership are currently negotiating this revitalization. We ask that our requests be seriously considered in this process of negotiation.

The Japanese educational system produces one of the most educated groups of people in the world. Over 90 of percent Japanese children receive high school diplomas. The number, of students in higher education is second only to that of the United States. One out of every three Japanese students attends an institution of higher learning. There such a large percentage of students attending universities in Japan that a status system was is developed deserving giving universities a prestigious name. These “famous” universities offer their graduates well-paying and highly respected jobs. In order to be accepted, students must pass extremely difficult examinations. College entrance exams create problems for lower many education. High schools stress only academic subjects which do not develop student’s creative abilities. “We should be able to Japanese education today is to produce self-reliant citizens with respect for human rights and a love for truth and peace in a peaceful and democratic state and community. Japanese high school students the only develop our individualism and talents when we are young,” said Miyoko Shinha, a visiting graduate Japan’s Tsuda student from College. “When I was young, I didn’t have time to do that. I was always studying.” Japanese students begin only to memorize things in order to pass exams and do not develop inquisitive and logical-thinking minds. “We only memorize things. This is because it is the most thing to enter the universities,” commented Nashairo Ikawa, a visiting student from Japan. important “In junior high I began to think about exams,” recalled Shizuko Toshiro, a visiting student here from Tsuda College. “But I didn’t have to worry in kindergarten elementary and school there is only severe competition for those grades in Tokyo. Tokyo is the center of everything in Japan, so it is -also the center of the examination - hell.” Behind education Japan’s stress on lies its values education is competitive achievement minded,” commented Abosh. “If you achieve for yourself, you achieve for your country. It is a small country where there is no ‘‘Japanese room for not achieving.” The Fundamental Law ‘Give for Peace of are beginning to feel that their academic the famous university entrance exam grade. “We should change this prestige of indication success will be system because people judge a person solely by their educational background. If a person is from Tokyo University, for example, people will think that they are an educated person, informed Miyoko Shinha. This judgment is made only on the fact that they attended Tokyo University, she i | Rip Values are changing added. of prestige ‘‘The famous’names should be changed,” Shinha declared. “To have as much competitive consciousness as we do is bad. Yet it is good to study and know knowledge. But in the present ‘ Japanese educational system we not able to develop our are creative abilities.” the According to Shinha, Japanese think the education system should be changed. The Minister of Education is now thinking of giving the same exam to all students who are applying to national universities. National universities are public, low cost and famous universities. It is hoped that this change will eliminate most of the competition a student is faced with by dividing the students into the available seats by exam grades. ’ The theme for this year’s United Jewish Appeal student campaign is “Give For Peace.’’ A task force, comprised of interested students from the University, chaired by Reid Simmons and Marsha Ann Raines, has set a goal of $3,600. Part of the funds collected will be sent to Israel to support immigrant-aid, health, educational, and cultural programs. In addition, a large percentage of the money collected will be channeled to twenty-five other countries to help provide a wide range of health, welfare, rehabilitation, education, and cultural services for needy Jews. Some of the collected funds will be returned to the Buffalo Jewish community and used to further projects such as the Rosa Coplan Jewish Home Infirmary, Jewish Family Service, and Jewish Student groups; Hillel, Chabad House, Jewish Student Union, and Ari.

Student Association (SA>-and Group Legal Services Attorney Richard Lippes explained that this may be a constitutional violation. “There is an expectation of privacy;” Lippes said. “Privacy rights might be violated by opening a sealed letter..” Lippes added that because this University is a State school, anything done administratively is considered a State action. The first ten amendments to the United States Constitution are applicable to actions by State University officials via the fourteenth amendment, he claimed. Campus Mail includes inter-departmental or student activity mailings as well as studcnt-to-student mail. This mail is deemed legitimate and allowable because it is necessary to facilitate normal communications throughout the University. Letters in violation of Campus Mail rules, which prohibit the use of campus mail service for political or sales activities, are either returned to the sender or held for thirty days after the sender has been notified.

When asked if the contents were read or not, Sicurella replied, “Of course we read them. How Can you tell if they’re in violation or not?” Any questions, call 636-2497 Applications due FRIDAY, MARCH 17th at 5:00 pm Since “illegal” Campus Mail is not a big problem, why are letters being opened? “If abuses are minor,” Lippes said, “the overwhelming interest in privacy would outweigh.any need for a checking for abuses at the maihoom level.” Lippes felt that this was especially true in the campus situation where academic rights and freedom have such importance. U.S. Postal System Inspector Tom Parkinson was not happy with the situation here. “While U.S. Mail can’t be opened,” he said, “inter office mail (campus mail type) is not regulated by us, so I can’t determine the legality of lt.”He did believe, however, that the opening of mail is morally wrong. “If a professor writes a letter,” he said, “what gives them (Campus Mail Service) the right to open and read the letter then send it on, if it isn’t directed to them?” This Summer Earn College Credit in NewlibrkCity Director of New York Civil Liberties Union of Buffalo Killian Vetter He believes that the opening of Campus Mail is unethical. ‘This may not be a legal question, Vetter commented, “but it certainly is an ethical question.” Most of the student organizations are unaware that this type of thing is going on. “I think it is an invasion of privacy and is appalling,” commented one student leader. “It reminds me of a dictatorship.” Lippes This summer come to New York and team, at a school famous in the art world, as well as in a city world famous as a cultural and art center.

Dunbar's goal broke a 2-2 tie and ended the Wizard’s two year reign on the intramural ice hockey championship. The regular season race was closely contested, as the top three teams were separated by only three points. Puck You finished first closely followed by the Wizards and the Bunnies. The final standings were not decided until the last night of the regular season. There were two semifinal playoff games on Wednesday night at Tonawanda Sports Center. In the first game the Wizards, defending champions, easily eliminated the Wingoes, 3-0. In the other semifinal match the Bunnies posted a 2-0 victory over Puck You. Goalie Jim Drey picked up the shutout with Dave Todd and Bernie Schaub scoring the goals. Puck You was hurt by penalties throughout the game. The final was a rematch of the teams from last year’s championship game. The Bunnies lost to the Wizards in last year’s game, but atoned for that loss by handing the Wizards their first defeat ever in a game last semester, and then tied the Wizards in the regular season finale. The Bunnies trailed throughout the game, but with 1:30 left to play, they began their comeback. Bob Benjamin and Scott Pellet :-ored goals in quick succession, and deadlocked the game. In the championship tilt the Wizards drew first blood. Less than a minute into the game Eddie Ambis, a former varsity player at Cornell put the Wizards ahead. The Bunnies came back and went ahead 2-1 on goals by Dave Todd on Mike Mulcahy. Ambis then struck again and tied the game. As the clock wound down it looked almost certain that there would be an overtime period to break the tie, but Dunbar fired one past the sprawling Wizards’ goalie with four seconds left for a to give the dramatic win. DR /c o<> O ARCO r ">. A league basketball playoffs Several clutch plays in overtime by Bob Fleming led the Social Forces to a 58-54 victory over the BSU Panthers in an intramural basketball A league quarterfinal playoff game Wednesday night at Clark Hall. Fleming, who had but two points during most of regulation time, came alive in the last minute of regulation and the start of overtime. His free throw with 105 left tied the game at 49, forcing the extra period. Two more freethrows by Fleming early in overtime tied the game at 51. With under a minute and a half left, Fleming drove around Ron Washington for an easy layup, to knot the contest at 53. “I knew the guy who was guarding me had four fouls,” Fleming said. “That’s why I went to the basket.” Then it was Phil Halpern’s turn to make the clutch plays. He got the ball at the left of the key, wide open. Normally a fine outside shooter, he elected to drive. That was the game’s turning BSU collapsed, leaving point Social Forces’ center George - Priest wide open under the basket. Halpern hit Priest with a perfect pass for an easy game-winning layup. Halpern then sealed the win by missed shot in heavy rebounding a traffic under the BSU basket. * Two-man gang The Social Forces led throughout most of the first half, and opened an eleven point lead early in the second half.

Social Forces won in overtime, 58—54. Both teams had to scratch and claw for whatever points they could get the rest of the half. After Fleming tied the game in regulation, the Forces tried to run down the clock and take one last shot. Twice in the last fifteen seconds, BSU almost stole the ball. Each time, only a fraction of an inch prevented BSU from recovering the ball and getting anuncontested layup. Washington was the leading scorer for BSD with 21 points, while Daniels finished with 14. 13 points and Halpern had teammate Ron Allen had 16 an early 19-12 lead and never looked back. Although they had only five players'for the game, Wesley got a solid effort from each one. Center Jim Randall a veteran of intramural play scored almost at will, and did a fine job off the backboards. Charlie Vesper swished six shots in the second half, all from long range, to fuel the Wild Bunch’s attack. - - Independence aided in their own demise with some poor shot selection and weak outside shooting. Only Miguel Ramos was effective for the losers, picking up a handful of baskets in the second points. half.

However, besides Gardner’s approval of Buffalo’s weather “I I like inow” and his reakzation that Western New York is a fertile area for writing sources, the author believes the City and the University are ready for a fiction magazine which he envisions starting, should he take the position. “The University is able to handle a fiction magazine which could be sold on newstands and circulated all around the country,” he said. Gardner expressed that he was not interested in publishing “well-knowns,” but rather in “airing a whole new wave of writing.

Gardner felt this University’s Administration would be willing to take the risk of sponsoring such a program, continuing that Buffalo was the best city for undertaking such an effort. “Buffalo is a printing city in fact it prints a lot of big New York magazines,” he said, adding, “This is the best place for printing things in America.” Should Gardner accept the position, he would teach a couple of creative writing courses and one Introduction to Poetry because he “wants to get far away from creative writing.” He might also participate for one or two weeks in this summer a - University-sponsored The proposed workshop. theme for this images.” After speeding his weekend in Buffalo, Gardner is going to Hollywood where he will work on a movie. “1 don’t expect to be able to write great movies,” he “I expect to create said. interesting characters.” The 45 year-old author of more than 18 novels, including fiction for children, translations, criticisms, anthologies and adult fiction has held positions in many major universities and colleges.

Although the University set up its own bureaucracy seven years ago to implement Affirmative Action, many departments still have one or two minority members. Recruiting of women faculty has been a little better, but far below hoped-for levels. Director of the Affirmative Action Office here, Jesse Nash, what else funding attributed much of the slow progress to shortages. Budget straits have prevented any expansion of programs to more fully include minorities and women. Mash believes that, in this era of stable or declining resources, anti-Affirmative Action postures within the University are more easily and subtlely used to undermine the objectives of the program. “There are attitudes in the University, and across the nation, that oppose Affirmative Action,” Mash said “There are persons who are able to disguise their opposition by taking any of several routes. “One way is to use the rhetoric of Constitutionality (reverse discrimination). This group believes Affirmative Action illegal because they believe it sets out to help one specific group. Others just believe that no one should be given handouts. They believe that one should pull himself up by his bootstraps, even if he doesn’t have any. “Still others feel that Affirmative Action isn’t totally bad but they are opposed to what they consider the setting of quotas.” - - Safeguards don't help According to University guidelines for Affirmative Action, a standing search panel The President’s Panel for the Review of Search is charged with “reviewing Search Procedure Procedures (PPRSP) Reports (SPR’s) to determine whether all state-funded faculty and NTP hiring was in compliance with the University’s Equal Employment Opportunity plan.” Specifically the search panel attempts to insure that departments acted “affirmatively,” in identifying and recruiting qualified women and minority candidates for faculty and professional vacancies. If the panel believes that a department has not made a creditable attempt at this, it will request that the appropriate vice president disapprove the Search Report and direct the department to resubmit the report after — - another search. Despite these safeguards, the University has not appreciably increased the percentage of minorities in the faculty. As of October 1976, there was a total of 215 faculty in the Social Sciences, including 7 Blacks, Z2,yromen. There is now a total of 233 faculty in the Social Sciences (a ifl!t gain of 18), including 35 women but only 5 Blacks. In other areas, the figures are comparable. In the School of Engineering, where the number of faculty has remained around 75, thcnp are how no women or Blacks in the faculty. There had been one Black in the faculty in October 1976 but has since departed. In the Law'School, which numbers 32, there are 4 women and no Blacks, although there had Been 2 Black faculty members eighteen months ago. The School of Management includes 2 women and 1 Black among its 47 faculty members, approximately the same as a year and a half ago. The School of Medicine has also maintained its status quo over the recent years 28 women and 2 Blacks among 309 faculty. - Increases nil It is results that the Affirmative Action program is interested in and the results obtained at this University seem to be quite discouraging. What are at best moderate increases in the number of women faculty have been accompanied by mostly decreases or no changes in the number of Blacks and other minorities across the University. Why has Affirmative Action failed here? According to Assistant to the President Ronald Stein, “If there are no women or minorities in the pool of candidates, it is very difficult to bring these groups into the University. If you don’t have anyone,qualified for the jobs from those groups, you have to look elsewhere.” To develop qualified persons in these under-represented groups, an internship program has been set up under the auspices of Director of Personnel Robert Pearson. This program will enable present faculty members to acquire training and experience needed to become competitive for administrative positions. Pearson said, “I’m working with Jesse Nash to involve minorities in the program. Although it is open to all faculty members, we are interested in getting minority and women faculty into the program.” Still, the training program exists only for persons already in the University. The task of bringing minorities and women to Buffalo continues to be the responsibility of the individual departments, the President’s Panel, and the Affirmative Action office. New ideas needed Jesse Nash, for one, feels that more in needed. “We need innovation,” he baserved. “We have to come to realize that we can do better or admit that we can’t and stop pretending that we can. It’s hard for me to ‘show’ that Affirmative Action is anything but a nuisance to the University. I must create incentives to get others to make an to reach segments of the population that have been excluded.” Nash fears that unless SUNY Central and the Division of Budget assume some responsibility for Affirmative Action by creating reasonable and workable incentives for SUNY units, “we are going to have to struggle along. A gain here and there but no sweeping changes.” The co-chairpersons of the President’s Panel Frank Corbett and Sara Cicarelli, feel that despite the poor overall figures. Affirmative Action at this University has been improving. They point to departments’ willingness to solicit the panel’s advice on how to best follow Affirmative Action search procedure guidelines and their own inclusion on some of the departmental search panels. “The latest Search Procedure Reports are much improved over the earlief ones,” pointed out Cicarelli. State University of New York at Buffalo Friday, 10 March 1978 Chlorine leakage investigated by Robert Basil and Steve Bart/ The valve on an old chlorine lecture bottle dissolved in the University’s Chemical Storage Building flooding the building with potentially deadly chlorine gas. The accident, which occurred February 15, released the chlorine gas into the area surrounding the storage building through the ventilation system Storage building coordinator Mark Reickle said the gas lecture bottle was delivered from the University’s Bell Lab facility at 180 Race Street. Reickle hypothesized that the teflon seal to the bottle was corroded by chlorine inside, and that the bottle began to leak when he fire extinguisher which, said Reickle, “is used only for escape purposes. No way do we want to be heroes!’’ Each room has a temperature monitor which notifies the local fire department when the temperature reaches 110 degrees. handled it. Reickle left the room and shut the airtight door to put on a gas mask. When he returned to try to tighten the valve with pliers, the container began leaking at a faster rate. Reickle then immediately switched on the ventilation and left the building Had there not been a seven mile per hour wind that day, the gas might have settled in the area around the building since chlorine gas is heavier than air. No harm done Chlorine is an Clogged routes Employee protection measures include an emergency shower in case of caustic chemical spills. The building is also washed down twice a week to prevent dangerous build-ups of chemicals on the floor. Presently, the building is undergoing changes due to new state regulations concerning chemical storage. The Division of Environmental Health and Safety at this University is more closely scrutinizing the storage facilities and research labs for unsafe practices. Fines of up to $3,500 could be given to employees who don’t comply with the new regulations. This summer, the building will be renovated to create more shelving space to accommodate the increase in scientific research at this University. Reickle termed the most serious problem affecting the storage building as the illegally parked cars in the lot next to the building. Last summer, during the heat-created fire alert, fire engines could not get close enough to the building because the area was clogged with vehicles. odoriferous yellow green gas that was used in trench warfare during World War 1. In sufficient concentrations, it will sear tfte' lungs and raucous membrances and may cause death by asphyxiation. S* the According to Reickle, concentration involved in the leak could only have harmed someone already who had respiratory ■ Spectrum problems. however, During the leak, warned Reickle passers-by away from the area. He said he did not know how old the lecture bottle was when it was transferred to the Chemical Storage Building, thus, there was way no of preventing the accident. This is the only toxic chemical release in the history of the building. The Chemical Storage Building houses large amounts of chemicals used the Health Science by Departments. Substances stored include chloroform, nitrous oxide, hydrogen oxygen. and The stores building also small quantities of chemical drivatives of mustard gas and nerve gasses for experiments involving enzymes. A large part of the building is used to house waste chemicals from research experiments. The chemicals are stored in vermiculite (an inert packing material) and piled in an explosion-proof room. Chemicals deposited there range from cyanide to harmless salt solutions and diluted acids. No heroes The stored waste chemicals are then either transferred to state approved underground burial sites or broken down to water and carbon dioxide by thermal destructors. The transferral process is expensive, costing between 5200 and $400. In recent years the rate of transferrals has decreased from twelve to four times a year, increasing the amount of waste chemicals stored in the building. The building has safety features to prevent small accidents from spreading into consuming disasters. Every room contains a . GAS LEAK: The University's Chemical Storage Building was flooded with toxic chlorine gas when the valve of a chlorine lecture bottle dissolved, leaking the fumes. The concentration of the leaked gas was not sufficient to cause harm to anyone who did not have previous repiratory problems. The building also houses such toxic gases as chloriform, nerve gas and mustard gas. �V Boredom and awe. Carter and the collegians: special press conference by Brett Kline Editor-in-Chief The President’s entrance was typical and very impressive. Typical because his teeth-baring grin was as quick as his gait was slow, in crossing the packed press conference room in the gray, former State Department building next to the White House. His smile was instantly warm and winning; those in the room could have wished him to be their father. But the Secret Sendee men at every doorway and the hordes of cameramen (no women) and television crews belied his casualness.

University Although the Administration maintains that no decision has been made, informed sources say that the possibility of Gardner’s joining the English Department faculty is favorable. to According Department Chairman JGale Carrithers, the autBor-C-JwD visit Buffalo this weekend to meet with Arts and Letters Provost George Levine, Vice President for Academic Affairs Bunn and "Jlonald President Robert Ketter to discuss the terms of a possible agreement. When asked when a decision will be announced, Carrithers said that plans are in the early stages of discussion although the author approached was first in November. “We, the University and John Gardner, are not yet at a point of dealing in terms of a firm offer,” stated Carrithers. “He’s interested, but doesn’t know if our proposal is exactly what he is looking for.” The decision, however, is not upon exclusively dependent Gardner. According to Carrithers all tenure appointments have to two different through gc committees and eventually to the ( President, in University policy accordance -with stipulated by the Board of Trustees. Said Carrithers, “It’s much too early to an expect answer by this weekend. The candidacy has yet to go through the committees.” An article in the February 1 issue of the Buffalo Courier Express said chairs were endowed by area families when the University was still a private college. Currently, chairs are vacant the James McNulty Chair which Gardner would occupy, and the Edward H. Butler Chair, formerly held by author John Barth.

Carrithers undergraduate and graduate conversations Gardner has stated that he would like to start a high — workable within the resources of the endowed chairs Could start this summer Although it was originally planned that Gardner would begin position with the commencement of the Fall term, Miles Slatin of the Faculty of Arts and Letters has presented him the opportunity to participate in a summer program. Slatin, who has of yet received reply tt> his proposal, said, "The summer program would be a combination graduate of a colloquium and seminar. It might also, include public readings and lectures." He added that a variety of choices would be presented tq Gardner who could then choose a program which appealed to him. The 45-year old Gardner, a native of Batavia, has written more than 18 novels, many of which are set in the environs of Western New York. Having received his PhD in 1958 from Iowa State University, the author has since produced critical works and children’s stories, as well as a no study on Chaucer. Included among his novels are Grendel. Sunlight Dialogues and October Light a Book of the Month selection. Gardner’s latest writing to be released this Spring, is - entitled, “Suicide Mountains.” Other offers Although he believes Gardner may wish to return to the area from which he draws his sources, Carrithers doesn’t overlook that a several other job offers. “Gardner is in a prominent writer may have to not take the position offer,” he said.

This apathy, coupled with the public’s carelessness, may be offered as an explanation for the halt to the city’s recycling program, last year. Programs have survived in other local municipalities, including the Town of Amherst. the awarding contract to Downing. The contract eventually was given to the Tonawanda outfit.. *3'.

The group soon set up a station where glass and aluminum cans could be brought. They met with enough success to buy a trailer and commenced curbside pickups of glass, paper and metal Before long the program was assumed by the Orchard Park Hjghway Department. the Village collects paper five days a week and glass and metal daily. Citizens are asked to clean out glass bottles, removing any metal from them and to flatten cans. The Highway Department carts paper and glass to Brockport, where a recycling plant is operated by Owens, Illinois Company. Metal is hauled to Bethlehem Steel for recycling. Paper demands an average price of $40 per ton, glass $25-30 per ton, and metal brings about $ I 5-20 per long ton (an industry unit of amounting weight to 2240 pounds). The value of these greatly materials fluctuates however, one liability involved in recycling. A profitable project According to Nan Ackerman, one of the original members of the Task Force who now oversees the effort through the Highway Department, the project has been profitable in every year of its existence. A peak gain of $5677 was achieved in 1974. Ackerman expressed the view recycling, although important, should not be the primary avenue of resource conservation. Whenever possible, direct reuse is preferable, for example reusing paper bags or jars rather than discarding them. When materials cannot be reused, they should be recycled. Ackerman believes that people can be given impetus to recycle by being shown the advantages of using “secondary” material rather than “virgin” material. She also that the Amherst bi-weekly by Highway Department on days of regular debris removal.

Another major recycling effort was incepted by the Town of Amherst in 1974. Curbside pickup of glass and metals is conducted Friday, 10 March 1978 . The Spectrum . Page three �Commentary The great coal strike of by Charles A. Haynie their jobs for their rights, who are willing to “hang together rather than hang separately.” There is this simple human view of the issue which sees first of all human beings out there suffering death in mine disasters, black lung disease, possible loss of old age security, likely loss of control of working conditions to company planners, and now the company demand that each miner who respects, out of human solidarity, the picket line of another miner, be penalized with either loSs of job or a great fine per day. This view recognizes that any of us could be in the position of this miner. After all,'as we are now being reminded, it is the work of these miners which provides the basis for our comfort and livelihood. Tolstoy College (F) Coal miners who work in ,an industry that has killed on the average 100 workers per month over the past century are on strike. Once again, they are persevering against the combined power of the mine owners, the federal government, all kinds of State and local authorities, and even the so-called leadership of the United Mine Worker’s Union. And now, it is the case that even though President Carter will invoke the anti-labor Taft-Hartley law, no one really expects this action to persuade the miners to return to work. It seems finally that we, in the United States, are waking up to the reality that there really are a group of people united and resolute in their common aim not to be harassed, intimidated, coerced and rdbotized by big business. About time! “All power to them,” some of us may be thinking to ourselves. Well, there are two very different ways to view one's relationship to this great coal strike of 1978: One, suggested by the mine owners, fostered by the media. and now adopted by the officers Iii keeping with this human view, some people are already extending direct aid to the striking miners: electrical workers (U.E.) and other unionists have sent truck loads of supplies; striking farmers are sending truck loads of food, needed now especially that the Carter Administration is thinking of cutt n8 Food Stamp aid Programs to the miners; and volunteer medical personnel' have UP a free medical clinic for s°me of the 810,000 miners and their dependents who are without medical care.

The Buffalo State Pub doesn’t seem to have this problem. Many working residents of the West Side in Buffalo often stop in; students from this University, Canisius, and other area colleges are also attracted to Buff State because of the low beer and wine prices and a lighted dance floor.

It was sponsored by the Council on International Studies here and the Judaic Studies Program. He spoke about the value of that most people in the United States have never come in contact with war, as have most of the people in Israel. Using his own family as an example, he stated that if a war started in Israel tomorrow, six members of his family would automatically be enlisted including himself, his sons and his son-in-law. Commenting on the recent sale of American fighter planes in the Middle East, he said: “It is hard for some people to believe that 60 a endanger airplanes could country’s security.” He pointed out that it would take fighter planes only two to four minutes for Arab planes to reach their objectives Israel. Further in stressing the importance of a strong Israeli air force, he stated that his nation does not have a standing army and would take from 12 to 36 hours to mobilize security, saying Three conditions Concerning negotiation* with Egypt, Ben-Ari stated that Israeli, by retreating from the Sinai and promising self-rule for the Palestinians had given up as much as it possibly could. He said that President Anwar Sadat of Egypt would sign no peace treaty even if Israel were to give in to all Egyptian demands, unless another were involved. Arab country Therefore, he said, Israel seeks King Hussain of Jordan, who will agree under three conditions. The first was that Israel completely withdraw from Gaza, Judea and Su maria; secondly, Jerusalem must be divided into two parts and finally, all refugees must be allowed to return to Israel. -This, Ben-Ari said was impossible. In his address to the students at the later meeting in Squire Hall, Ben-Ari stated that never before in history was any country, after being victorious in war, expected to give up so much. In defense of Soviet with Israel’s relations supported Ethiopia, he said; “For the past 2,500 years we’ve had relations with Ethiopia beginning with the Queen of Sheba.” He that Israel’s only remarked fnendly port in the Red Sea was in Ethiopia and very important to Israeli trade. He also claimed that Ethiopia used to enjoy friendly with the U.S. until relations American and the Soviets “changed sides.” Palestinian refugees, Ben-Ari stated that the Arab countries were all wary of those Palestinians involved in the Palestine Liberation Organization. “It is dangerous to disperse them,” he said, “and it is dangerous to put them together.” Ben-Ari. also stated that of all the Middle Eastern countries, Israel was the only one to ever offer the Palestinians self rule. This subject was the cause of considerable Concerning' debate during the question and OLD RED MILL INN answer sessipn that followed Student Association International Affairs Coordinator Abed Musallam explained that it was impossible for Palestinians to have self rule while under the eyes of Israeli soldiers. Replying to Ben-An’s statements that Israel did not annex Judea and Sumaria, asked what the Musallam difference was between annexing the controlling of the economy and of the construction settlements which they now have. Ben-Ari was born in Berlin, Germany in 1925. He was a member of the youth movement “Habonim,” which was affiliated with the then powerful Workers Party in Israel. He emigrated to Israel at the age of 14. His first two years there were spent in a Hadassah center in Jerusalem, after which he moved to Kibbutz Ein Gev. In 1942 he became a member of the Haganah, the Israeli independence movement and two years later joined the Palmach, the mobilized underground force of the Haganah. At the outbreak of the War of Independence in 1948, he was a company commander in the —Kaplan A VISIT TO BUFFALO: Uri Ben-Ari, the Consul General of Israel, visited the University Tuesday and expalined the possibilities of a Middle East peace agreement.

It took the defense a week to state its case. Testimony began with Jerome Mitchell, who was 16 and had been convicted in a second-degree murder case when he gave trial testimony in 1972, placing Rev. Chavis and others near the scene of the firebombing and sniping incidents. Mitchell testified under oath last year that he had given false testimony at the urging of prosecutor Jay Stroud. He said he was given documents to study which were produced by defense attorneys determined to be in the handwriting of prosecutor Stroud. Mitchell also testified that Stroud kept him at a cottage where a former KICK leader visited him and promised him “protection” after he testified Prosecutor Stroud also told Mitchell that he was needed to corroborate Hall’s testimony Eric Junious, 13 at the time of the original trial, stated that he had perjured himself because Prosecutor Stroud had promised him a minibike for Christmas. Following the trial, Junious was given the minibike and arrangements were made for him to get a job. Stroud has adamantly denied making any deals with the three witnesses. In addition to Mitchell’s and Junious’s recantations, Allan Hall, the prosecution’s key witness, testified under oath that he too had perjured himself at the trial in 1972. Defense Attorney Ferguson also reminded Judge Foutain that two weeks after Hall testified, his twelve year sentence for arson was amended to a one-day-to twelve-year youthful offender judgement. Ferguson also told the judge “the state has conceded that not another single witness at the Wilmington Ten trial offered any incriminating testimony.” Some of the most important testimony provided by the defense, according to Ferguson, was the corroboration of the fact that the witnesses rehearsed their testimony and perjured themselves. Adriene Sellars testified that while he was incarcerated he met Allan Hall in 1974, who told him that Stroud had promised his release based on the deal made between Hall and Stropd in return for Hall’s testimony against the Ten. Quentin Brown, another inmate, testified that both Jerome Mitchell and Allan Hall had told him that they lied at the Wilmington Ten trial after making a deal with Stroud. Lastly, Joseph Sweat, an inmate from Wilmington, testified that Eric Junious and Mall told In 1977, Wilmington - Meeting Tuesday, March 14 at 4 pm Talbert Senate Chamber SENATORS REQUIRED to attend All student are welcome. served as an official of Sole!

The Wilmington Ten: A call for the facts and for justice - Student Senate Kippur War. In civilian life he has him that they lied at the trial. Sweat also acknowledged being offered a deal himself to testify against the Ten, which he refused. After the convictions and the post-conviction hearing, it was found that additional evidence surfaced which could have been vital to the defense of the Wilmington Ten. The State Good Neighbor Council, which is a state-sponsored race relations organization, also attempted to mediate racial tensions in Wilmington and in fact invited Rev. Chavis to quell the violence. Good Neighbor Council Reverend Aaron told the Greensboro Daily News that the Council had in its possession documentary evidence which would tend . to exonerate the Wilmington Ten. The Council resisted strenuously efforts by the defense, including subpoenas, to get those records released. The Good Neighbor Council members did not ’wish to testify on behalf of the Ten because “they were concerned about maintaining a low profile.” The Council receives funds from the United Nations General Johnson Assembly. In addition, one month after the Ten had been sentenced to long prison terms, the records “so highly favorable” to the Wilmington Ten, apparently were stolen from the files of the Good Neighbor Council office in Raleigh. Rev. Eugene Templeton, the young white was of the pastor minister who Gregory Congretational Church during the violence, never testified at the trial. Templeton was prepared to testify that Chavis and four other members of the Ten were with him when the grocery was burned down. He was also prepared to testify that he never heard Chavis or other members of the Wilmington Ten exhort others to commit acts of violence, and, on the contrary, he had heard Chavis plead for police protection and a curfew. Templeton had heard a rumor that he and his wife would be arrested if they returned to Wilmington, so they did not return to testify. 60 members of the House of Representatives wrote to Attorney General Bell requesting that the United States file an amicus curiae brief in the United States District Court in Raleigh urging a favorable decision on the defendants’ habeas corpus petitions. Federal Magistrate Logan Howell has failed to rule on the petitions, which have been pending before the Federal District Court in Raleigh since January, 1976. It is for this reason that the National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression, which has spearheaded the defense movement for the Wilmington Ten, has called for a national demonstration in Washington to demand that President Carter brings his human rights campaign home. The Buffalo Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression is in the process of organizing for two buses to Washington, D.C. on March 18. For more information, call 833-3952 or 773-1426. Friday, 10 March 1978 The Spectrum Page seven . . �Bad press in Richmond To the Editor. As a resident of Richmond’s ninth floor, I would like to take this opportunity to speak of the press coverage of the recent stabbing. On Sunday night, I and a few other hallmates were standing in the lounge pondering over what had happened to Daniel Cordero. Geoff Seale, a reporter for a local newspaper began interrogating us about the incident. “Did you know Daniel?” he asked in utter anticipation. Mr. Seale’s question evidently fell on deaf ears as silence filled the room. Seale persisted to know why we kept quiet. I then referred him to my R.A, who then told him that he felt “it should not be discussed on the outside.” Taking the news well, he said, “No problem.” Lately, badgering has been a way of life for some residents in the Richmond Tower. The press has been a prominent force. I can tell you that if cameramen had come on the floor during that trauma, the Emergency Medical Technicians might have had some other people to treat. So for the press, just so you get the story straight, it’s all over. If in the future you’re tempted to come up here, expect soine resentment. We’ve been through hell and hell has been through us. Oh yeah! There’s one more thing. Sensitivity in reporting. Perhaps an estranged idea in your business and something you might want to keep in mind for the future. By the way, it’s easier than you think, once you learn how to feel feelings and act accordingly. Nix TWSA To the Editor- In response to the article in Monday, March 1 issue on Guidelines on Third World Week, I say, “It’s about time SA realized what was going on.” Being a former, active member, I think the TWSA has been masquerading under the guise of an “educational and informative group” long enough. They strive to “inform” us of the struggles of the Third World Lewis J. Feinerman Smash Fascism in Skokie people. But TWSA is not a true representation of third world people, but rather they are offspring of wealthy families who are just as oppressive to the poorer people in their respective countries as the U.S. corporations are. To the Editor. ' On April 21 in Skokie, Illinois, America will witness the showing of the magnitude of its national Fascist element. The fact that this element is a growing undercurrent in the tide of each of our individual lives is obvious to all of us who have observed the increasing amounts of racist graffiti and who are aware of KKK-inspired disturbances right here in Buffalo; i.c. the recent shooting of Michael Johnson. This increasing momentum of KKK action here is only one small facet of the growing anti-aemitic, anti-Catholic, racist, sexist, anti-gay and generally anti-human ideology that is breeding unchecked in our American Democracy. We, as University students'and a* members qf a threatened community, can no longer sit back and ignore the same fascism that went unopposed in Germany after World War I. The distance between Skokie and Buffalo is no greater than the distance between the KICK’S Baily Avenue headquarters and this University —. the time to organize is now. The most reactionary forces in America are getting it together and it is most imperative that we organize against them. Several other students and I are in the process of building a body of people to go to Skokie to demonstrate against this obvious threat to our liberty. This and next week there will be a table in Squire Hall at the Central Lounge where those who recognize the immediacy with which we must oppose fascism can obtain information and pledge their much-needed support. Smash Fascism in The Egg! The TWSA is strong marxist group who tries to stay one step ahead of the SA by not admitting to this political dogmatism by calling themselves “educational.” Their publication “Third World Newsletter” is a strong political statement against U.S. government.

I have been at many meetings where two or three top people formulate clever ways to present their political education during their activities without the SA realizing what they were doing. We need a group on campus with a deep understanding of third world countries to present this information in a clear, objective way to the sympathetic University community.

Student Association. Lessoff claims that he “has tried every way possible” to eliminate apathy and generate input from the majority of the student body. Well, Mr. Lessoff, if you have “tried every way possible,” then you have failed “every way possible.” You have, and it seems without irrationally put down Rosen’s hesitation, proposition. How can you possibly underestimate the success of political consultants to the SA when yOu have come up with nothing but zeros after depleting your own solution box? Students are transient. By the time a student is qualified to hold an executive position in the SA, the most he can offer is one or two years of service. Learning the functions of the government takes time and when the experience is finally gained, it'is time to graduate. Ho\y then, Mr. Lessoff, can we “need people who will learn from their past mistakes?” The students running the show are apprentices of government and they will only benefit from the mistakes they make now in their future lives. When one takes an exam, there is usually only one chance to pass. A consultant or consultants would be beneficial the SA in relating past failures 4nd prevent them from happening time and time again With no one to point out mistakes we will elect a hew student government every two or three years that will act like a five-year-old child trying to ride a two-wheel bicycle for the first time. The common result will be to continuous tjial and error. Can we afford to pay for the same mistakes ovef and over? Lessoff also pointed out that “we need leaders who will continue the good programs and disband the band.” What are the bad programs? Are they the root of student apathy? What are the good problems? Can we make them better? Lessoff makes no distinction, or even an attempt to make one, between the good and the bad programs as he sees them. I am curious to know what they are. In lieu of Rosen’s solution, Lessoff seems, though it is not clear, to offer one of his own: “What the Student Association needs is real input from the majority of the student body.” His solution to apathy is simply the elimination of apathy. Isn’t that great? That’s like saying we can end the problem of air pollution by getting rid of air pollution. Participation of the majority is an end of good internal student government and not the other way around. We need improvements in the SA before we can scream at the student body for withholding its support. A specific, and more importantly, essential improvement would be the addition of consultants. That would be one step closer toward both, a better working SA, and increased student involvement. It seems to me that the one drawback pointed out by Mr. Lessoff (Usurpation of power by the consultants from the students) was not weighed against the pro-consultants argument. 1 do not feel that I have to go into any detail as to what benefits our student consultants woujd bring into government. They are clearly outlined in Rosen’s column that’s being criticized by Lessoff. If Mr. Lessoff does not accept my reasoning and he has tried “every possible way” to alleviate apathy, what does he suggest now? Charles Haviland Guest Opinion by the Graduate Psychology Association The precarious position of the Psychology Department has already been admirably reported here in The Spectrum (see Monday, Feb. 27). While the history and economics of this appalling situation can be adequately related in print, the emotional atmosphere pervading Ridge Lea is somewhat more difficult to convey. To be sure, there is a definite undercurrent of anger throughout the Department, diffusely directed at a host of targets ranging from Ketter to Governor Carey himself. Moreover, there is a pervasive sense of fatigue. This is due to months of fruitless meetings with the Administration to discuss plans and options, only to find that all of them were unfeasible from the very start. Students and faculty alike are overcome with a sense of frustration. The fight for our survival and security has been much like boxing with a shadow, as administrator after administrator has disavowed responsibility for our plight. Seemingly the only weapon left in our- arsenal is the considerable community spirit that has developed in the face of this very real threat. The evidence is overwhelming that the well-being of the University as a whole, and the Psychology Department in particular, has been ignored in the face of economic contingencies and election-year priorities. As for the SUNYAB administration, its handling of our Department’s future remains so inept as to appear downright punitive. It is somehow inconceivable that the caretakers of this institution could promise the necessary relocation and renovation without having first checked to see if adequate funds were available. It is even more astonishing that members of this administration would personally assure the members of the site committee of the American Psychological Association of the certainty of this relocation without having ever developed a coherent, funded plan for its execution. And now, at last, we are told that any move must be at least two years away. it was Of course, this situation did not develop overnight literally years in the making. It is hard to imagine that nowhere in our expansive, expensive State University bureaucracy is there a cohesive plan for the future of UB and its departments. It is inconceivable that the State authorities, ensconced in their mall in Albany, never saw fit to devise mechanisms to ensure the continued health of the University through this difficult period. It cannot be possible that Albany is willing to sacrifice SUNYAB as if it were a gangrenous appendage. As graduate students in psychology, our professional futures are gravely threatened. Among clinical psychology students in particular, few would have come here had it been known that the loss of APA accreditation was possible. Beyond this, all faculty and graduate students were promised an imminent move from the cinderblock wasteland of Ridge Lea. But our future alone is not at stake here. Accreditation problems are spreading at UB and will continue to spread, as long as the powers that be continue to be unaware of the human cost of their insensitivity and negligence We see our problems as a focal point of a necessary reaction to the State’s policy of benign neglect of its higher education system. March on Skokie To the Editor: We are now in a time of our history where we are again faced with a question of our survival.

There wery no antagonists. There were no protagonists. There was no hero, and certainly no heroine. Only the simple presence of some mundane characters whose eyes did little to belie the vacuous wasteland that existed just beyond the braided plait that lay like a broken tether blending in with the Texan fringe adding to the absurdity. Page after page, installment after installment, issue after issue the drama unfolded. Not to a rapt.audience nor to critical acclimation only the blind stones of onlookers too long without something to read, captured like cattle in similar accommodations being led to metaphoric slaughter, The drama was not staged on Broadway in some gilded theater attended by stuffy patrons who speak with a nasal twang, yet it was patronized by the same soiled greenbacks, the same lye coated dollars that backed the Chilean fiasco and the development of the neutron bomb. threat to their accreditation and academic integrity is only one consequence of the steady erosion of this University. As you know, other departments will shortly face similar situations. I believe that some initiative from your office is necessary to stop this process, and I strongly urge your prompt attention to this matter. _ a/eiteration. The headline I speak of was that entitled simply and starkly “Vote.” The drama elections for Student Government. The succession of no’s equals the lack of personalities of any substance, of any commital (“fence stradlers, oatmeal men”). The mundane characters etc. is the equivalent of the editorial staff of The Spectruift. The audience equals the students, faculty and staff of the University of Buffalo and finally the patronizers may be understood as the status quo, the establishment, capitalist America, the Power Elite or whatever you chose. The rest speaks for itself. There is more than one metaphor here. 1 I wish to express my deep concern regarding the crisis currently facing the Psychology Dept, at SUNY Buffalo. The Yes, off to the left and the right were those same J.C. Penney raincoats and five dollar haircuts grinning in macabre satisfaction at their latest effort. There was no curtain call and the audience filed out silently. No fanfare, no applause, no emotion. The ' droids passed in artful procession.

We, the students, have been relegated to being a -rubber stamp for previously decided decisions by the top four editors of The Spectrum and their bumbling Business Manager, The Spectrum lies When they told us the interviews were only done by the four top editors. Mr. Finkelstein, who is famous at this University for his political deals, was clearly prejudiced against two of the Sub-Board I, Inc. candidates, Stephanie Freund and Allen Clifford. Why was this non-editor allowed to question candidates for an editorial? ts it just a coincidence that The Spectrum picked Seven out of seven of the top candidates? Anyone The Spectrum picks wins! Who elected The Spectrum anyway? There are no checks made on The Spectrum because they elect themselves. Do you know who will be Editor-inChief of The Spectrum next year? Jay Rosen„ The decision has, for all intents and purposes, been made! The font step in the battle against The Spectrum monopoly of thought is the creation of an alternative newspaper to The Spectrum. Then if The Spectrum decided to endorse an unqualified candidate, the alternative paper could challenge it. The only thing that can help The Spectrum is competition, then they would have to print all the news instead of censoring out items of interest as they do now. Oh! You diid not know that The Spectrum decides what you should know and should not know! They make no bones about it. Ask them; they’ll admit that it’s true! If there was an alternative to The Spectrum, then The Spectrum would have to back up their opinions (endorsements) with facts. If you read those endorsements, you know that I am telling the truth. Those endorsements were really low class journalism. The cheapest shot was the line about me taking an aimless, polemic stance this ye$r. I have never argued aimlessly. Can you believe that all the editors of The Spectrum were bragging that'they wrote that line! You have to understand that we are not dealing with a professional newspaper, but with amateur reporters who take out their petty hostilities on those who disagree with them. As Vice President for Sub-Board I, Inc., I have been involved with many projects; one being the movement of a doctor out to the Amherst Campus. I had to literally beg to get any articles into the paper concerning this topic. When an article finally did appear, guess what page they stuck it on? Page 8. Guess whose name they mysteriously left out? When this unknown Sub-Board I, Inc. spokesman questioned them, I discovered that it was The Spectrum's editorial policy that my name would never be printed again. It wouldn't take a genius to realize that I am hated by The Spectrum. Why? Well, the reason is that I'm not going to kiss their ass; they know that I’m not afraid of them. How many people do you know who aren’t? The Spectrum can ruin any political friture; The Spectrum can also make anyone into a hero. Who the hell was Bruce Beyer until The Spectrum made him into a hero around here? Who the hell was Jane Baum until The Spectrum got through with telling us how she sparkled. I’ll tell you she didn’t seem to sparkle to me! Or even fitter. All the charisma, in the. world cannot' make an inexperienced person experienced. Student' government leaders can be effective if they have no prior experience, but it makes it doubly hard. 1 had a great deal of experience and I’m just learning the best ways to do my job. It’s very possible that the Aurora candidates were not as intelligent this year as “Party” candidates. (I don’t believe this to be the case but...). What we had was that “learned” knowledge of this University. Richard Mott and the rest of his party will have to leam at your expense! 1 wish him all the luck in the world. All the same, I’m glad that I’m not going to be here next year. “The Party” campaigned on the platform of revitalizing the Student Senate. No one has ever suggested to me, while I’ve been Chairman of the Student Senate, any practical means of improving the Senat . I’ve brought things to the Senate for consideration that the rest of the Executive Committee felt was wrong. The Senate could have overturned those decisions; it didn’t. The main point I’m making here is that the Student Senate’s effectiveness has diminished. It never had much power, but now it has weakened even more. The reason is that Senators are getting as apathetic as the rest of the people at this University. Less and less students vote in the Student Association elections. Less and less students run for the Student Senate. Less and less dynamic, energetic, or interested students care. A student Senator gets very little out of his job. However, the Student Senate is what the Senators make if into. The only way to take power away from the Executive Committee is by hard work because if the Senate does not run Student Association, the Executive Committee will. In Student government, the most powerful people are those that are the hardest workers. It’s a hassle to research subjects in addition to school work. It’s a hassle to lose sleep for meetings. It’s a hassle to get called names in the newspaper, but we live it. The Spectrum people love their jobs also. What they do not realize is that only together can we really change anything. What The Spectrum has done is to pick people who they feel they can control. It means more money for The Spectrum from Sub-Board I, Inc. The Spectrum people walked around all year telling everyone how they could be ipcomeu.pff-set in a very short time. Well, now tjiify realize mat they can’t. The Spectrum wants to cut down their accounting costs with Sub-Board I, Inc.-next year. They are on the road to getting what they want by making “The Party” beholden to them. Last year, The Spectrum thought they could control Student Government. In most cases that has been proven correct. Next year, there will be no exceptions, unless there is another newspaper; university! for without knowledge what is a In conclusion, I must admit to having had biases in this election. I had many friends running in the election and felt they were given a raw deal. If you feel I haven’t been objective enough, please look into this matter further. Let us leam from this election!

Moot Hall at Buff State College (a creation of the modern world) had the necessary conditions to effect the change. Elvis' Costello is the newest man with the conflation of charisma easy to play and easy to learn Saturday metamorphosis — musical capibilities. The newly proclaimed King has cotha to his moniker of his own accord. There’s no need for spin offs on Presley's recent death. ( What we have here is simply a former computer programmer who has always had rock and roll dribbling from his lips and vacant gazes on his bespectacled face. Together with his band the Attractions, he compels his audiences to react And if they don't, he does. Three weeks ago at Brockport State Elvis and company walked off after putting their best into 45 minutes of danceable music. Calling the crowd "fuckin dull detectives" as he knocked over the mikes, Elvis displayed the new wave ultimatum: If you want to see me- play I want to see you dance. Unfortunately there was no danping in Brockport. As the King noticed things were different here in the Queen City. As both shows were sold out at $4.50 a clip, Costello knew ahead of time that an interested crowd awaited him. The drinks were flowing when suddenly, unannounced Elvis took the stage decked out in a two piece Korvettesque suit with matching working week shirt. Elvis started off in full force with "Mystery Dance" from his premiere album My Aim Is True, a track that could make any inquisitive octagenarian tap his feet. The crowd just stared in awe. What was before them, Poindexter with a Fepder backed by the Standells? The tunes cranked and sure enough everyone was tapping the tables as Elvis confessed "I can't do it anymore and I'm satisfied.” Without hesitation the band For The End Of The World", one of the most powerful songs on the disco.

I admired Content Knowles's ability to convincingly voice the words of a hot-to-trot lothario totally indifferent to the voiceless girl in his arms. Knowles recites the poem-while doing an energetic "lindy” with her silent In the show's finale. The Midnight Rambler, she is an effective female Mick Jagger, taunting and teasing the screaming groupies at her feet while her back-up singers all resplendent In glittering red and white hot pants, act out "Ikette" fantasies. The song's lyrics: "Did you hear about the Boston Strangler?", take on a more harrowing tone when sung by women. partner. There was an open discussion held on rape after the first night's performance. To my disappointment, it was the only one held. It would have been interesting to hear what, if anything, the few scattered males in the audience had to say on the subtact. The danger in dealing with rape is that it inevitably takes on an anti-male stance. This, unfortunately is the feeling Some Enchanted Evening left me with. The man I was with felt it even more strongly; leaving with the impression that any woman seeing the show would leave more paranoid than ever. Perhaps. But it is important that rape be an openly discussed issue. We need to share our fears and anger. Sharing paranoia can only help lessen it. A newly-established part of the University's respected theatre department, the Women's Theatre Collective has shown with their first effort that they are an effective and necessary creative outlet. To help further its growth, more women are needed to add their talents and ideas in whatever ways are neede. All interested women are encouraged to join. The full potential inherent in women has yet to be tapped.

"I can't understand white people," he joked, "who buy new used clothing." At one time he was a clothing salesman, although he wasn't exactly devoted to it. "We ain't got nothing to fit you, you go down to the tent maker,” he told one fat dog ... customer. He also spoke of his student days, a subject everyone could identify with. Ajaye used to cram alot the night before an exam: "about 12,000 pages." He maintains that one can read very fast when motivated by fear. "Evelyn Wood ain't got shit on fear," he added. Oriental students came under some heavy fire for "working so hard and fucking up the curve. No, Danny, I haven't finished next semester's homework yet." Even health food and cooking were subjected to Ajaye’s comic treatments. Calling organic food shit, Ajaye rationalized that, "Adella Davis died at 66 while some winos live to be 70. But at least she died healthy." He spoke of his own strange eating habits and aversion to cooking "I've been eating popsictes for dinner." — — — — — — charge. Cool — Oh that smalt Another topic easily relatable to the human condition it the process of farting, and Ajaye had some amusing thoughts on that subject.

Ajaye that one's own farts nevertheless related a universal truth are appealing. "You dig your own farts, you even go under the covers for them," Ajaye also told of the difficulty some guys have in picking up women. Declaring that women hurt your ego and that brain damage can be a useful source to attract girls. Ajaye performed a pretty amusing pick-up skit. "No thanks," he replied in a woman's voice, "I'm waiting for something human." Not all of Ajaye's jokes were comic highpoints. Some sank rather quickly.

From 'Early Morning Bain* to ‘Sundown —Malllck Lightfoot's personality shines through Gordon Lightioot needs no gimmicks to hold audience It might well have been the largest coffehouse ever held. Gordon lightfoot's early show, which was last Saturday, March 4, at Kleinhans Music Hall, was an impressive, down-to-earth set of festivities. I had heard rumors that Lightfoot had an uppity attitude and that he wasn't a cause celebre in performance. I only wish now that thosepeople spreading the rumors had attended the concert with me. There would have been some chewing of words end ideas. I have a theory that the farther north one goes, the larger the appreciation grows for Gordon Lightfoot (there must be a hell of a lot of fans at the North Pole I). I don't think any location south of Buffalo could provide Lightfoot with the recaption he had here. The Candaian influence was high, folks were calling out to him as if they were kin and this house was nearly packed. Lightfoot strolled onto the stage to a hail of applause and the bolts of flashcubes. Backed by a rather anonymous four-piece band, he opened up with "Summertime Dream," which was guaranteed to bring on a good mood with its bouncy rhythm. Lightfoot had no elaborate laser display nor theatrical antics, but used his own folksy personality to grasp our attention. He Joked several times between songs, acting at if the audience were • bunch of friends who came over for a musical spall. Notes from fans were read aloud by him for a few minutes, including a birthday message and the claim of one person that he named hit dog Gordon. This was all taken in Jest and spiced up the atmosphere. The last romantic Lightfoot can .be compared to the minstrel-like characters about whom he writes. He is an incurable romantic who is usually unique in his approach to a well-worn subject. His lyrics remaining consistent, the melodies usually are a hit or miss affair, fortunately more of the former On Endless Wire Lightfoot's newest release, this formula backfires and the effect is mostly bland. Thank God for small miracles; only three songs from this album were performed and they were of the better caliber ("Endless Wire,” "Hangdog Hotel Room," "The Circle is Small"). The sets were comprised of a broad retrospective of Lightfoot's material, from the early United Artists period ("Early Morning Rain” and "Canadian Railroad Trilogy"), through his first commercial breakthrough on Warner Brothers ("It You Could Read My Mind" and "Sundown") to his most recent well-known compositions ("Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" and "Race Among the Ruins"). A batter program of songs couldn't have been picked despite the brief length of the show, eighty minutes. Lightfoot in limelight The single fault of this otherwise delightful show was the lighting technique. Gordon Lightfoot had a spotlight solely on himself for practically the whole concert which wasn't fair to the rest of the band. If any other member had to be seen, it was Terry Clements, the lead acoustic guitarist, who had to be heard to be believed. Other than supplying tricky solos between verses he filled in rhythmic highlights, such as strumming quickly to imitate a mandolin.

What's more important it that nobody is offended, that nobody it alienated. To that end. the show was a mindless success. Carefully conceived script Somer and Snydar were uncomfortably slick.

On top of people have countless albums which go Jnplayed and serve no purpose, save adding extra weight' to thair collections (in case of a hurricane unexpectedly sweeping through their room). Like Henry Ford, Scott Fllnn had a better idee. It it "Play It Again, Sam," Buffalo's only used record store located at 1115 Elmwood Avenue (near Buff State). The original store, located at W. Northrop and Main, opened in December '75, but closed last May. There were severe! reasons for the termination of the Nerthrup store one was a problem of break-ins. On the night of the Blizzard 6f 78, the store's stereo and cash on hand were stolen. Sam's has been robbed three other times. Another contribut ng factor to the closing was the increase of undergraduates living on the Amherst campus. Owner Scott Flinn was asked what gave him the idea it was to open Sam. "6.98 retail recores that's insane a musical need for myself and a need in the town for it," he said. Although the original store was very student-oriented, manager BIN Poczik, estimated that now only about 40 percent of revenue comas from Buff State students. The clientele is drawn from all over the city, Rochester, and many from Canada. Poczik-explained, "Record prices in the States are incredibly high, but in Canada they are even worse generally a dollar over." The prices for the used records range from $2.50 to $.75.’ totally dependant on the condition (not the popularity! of the album.

The store's popularity has spread mostly by word of mouth, since' little advertising is done. A' good part of their customers are registers, people who come in frequently to see what hat been added to tha inventory in the last day or so. As mentioned earlier, the selection is extensive Scott has noted, ’There have only been two or three records that we wanted that actually never came in here." »' Goodbye Cavages Presently the only employees are Scott, Bill, end Scott's sister, Jennifer. The reason for this it that almost an encyclopedic knowledge it needed to be familiar with what has been coming out since the mid-‘60s. In addition, once they buy an alburh they are stuck with it if it does not sell, unlike retail record stores who can return it to the manufacturer What can we look for in the future of Sam? Bill summed it up, "Basically what we are trying to become is as inhumanly comprehensive in terms of vinyl as any store can be. That's it that's the end-all-to carry everything under the sun for someone to be able to come in and ask for somethingg totally off the wall and have a good chance of — . ... getting it." So the next time your record collection cries for company, but your wallet cries for mercy, head down to Sam you might be pleased with what you find. You’ll also be pleased to notice that Cavage's store on the corner of Forest and Elmwood has disappeared. Goodness conqubrs once again. — 1 �Nothing covers talent lack by Bob Brewster Music Staff Spectrum Numerous potential sources of activity Gallery screening Strict formality in film's makeup James Banning exists in an unusual cinematic space. His work, first seen here in the form of 11 x 14 (screened most recently at the last Evening For New Film at the Albright-Knox), is not readily categorized. It exists in that hazy, nebulous space "where Cinema and Still Photography brush against each other with the tips of their wings" (to borrow Anthology archivist Jonas Mekas' description). A surface reading sees 11 x 14 as several brief, seemingly inconsequential episodes, each commencing with a clear (white) "flash" frame and linked one to the other with black leader film. In each "episode" the camera pays unblinking attention to formal, tidy compositions, each containing numerous potential sources of activity. These compositions vary considerably between shots; many contribute little more than static presence, while others reveal their "activity potential" simply In a strikingly dynamic, surprising movement. Benning uses movement within inelastic, omnipresent framing devices (the one constant, the film frame itself, serves as the title for 11 x 14) as a fulcrum to effect complex yet seemingly inconsequential strategies and, further, to explore the multiplicity of each movement's meanings. Falling angels Unfortunately, once they started playing, the peak of excitement built up from their over pretentious musicianship. introduction simply fell apart. It was obvious from the instant Angel hit their instruments that their musical skill just didn't cut it. It really looks .like Black Sabbath taught these guys how to play. The lead guitarist just drongd through the songs using the same four or five chords throughout the act. The drummer had a setup that rivaled Carl Palmer's but he wielded his drumsticks like they were axehandles. Probably the most obnoxious member of the group was the keyboardist, who with hi* long blonde hair and peculiar mannerisms was clearly a Rick Wakeman rip-off, minus the talent. The floating and talking holographic head that had been so heavily advertised turned out to be a movie image that was projected on a screen behind the group. Talking yes. Three-dimensional no. The effect of the keyboardist - An involved response Thom Andersen, the programmer of the gallery's Evenings for New Film program suggested to me that one could ultimately question the work as a whole, in spite of questions relating to compositional ethics, etc. Do the images seen in the 11 x 14 frame justify the 81 min. length of the film on which they are printed? I found all of Benning’s compositions and related strategies interesting, and most of them enjoyable. James Benning's work forced an involved response favorable and/or otherwise from its Buffalo audience, as f'm sure it has done in its numerous screenings elsewhere in the past year (Berlin, Edinburgh. M.O.M.A.). What more can one ask of an Evening for New Film? The next such evening at the Albright-Knox occurs on Thursday. March 30, at 8 p.m., when Barry Gerson (a N.Y.C. filmmaker whose style is described as "lyrical, painterly") will present the local premiere of a trilogy of films shot in —Richard Henderson and around Buffalo. — by Michael F. — were some bugs in the sound system that kept popping up all night and screwing up the guitarists. At times the bass came through so loud that the lead could barely be heard above it. Perhaps Angel and their theatrics would be better off at home playing bars in Queens because they don't seem comfortable in front of a large audience.

The Word, as Heron hinted, is Now These movements, plus the rare camera movement, seem t6 determine the length of individual shots, although a code of requirements for such "completion" is not readily apparent. After a few such shots, however, the viewer becomes aware of an unconscious perception of the moment during each tableau when all the prerequisite operations for a completion of the iiijage have been performed, resulting in the inevitable blackness and flash frame heralding the introduction of yet another seemingly still photograph. The audience, one senses, it polarized by the precisely orchestrated approach of this mid western! filmmaker. Some are attracted by the potential for the chance scoring of movement within the frame, then are distressed to learn of hit relatively strict script (Banning disclosed afterwards the presence of control elements the motive! appearances of two women linked to the film's elusive, elliptical narrative ) in certain shots with greater chance content). Others react strongly to the formality of his image and color compositions. Indeed, this polarity occurs within onessalf. Are these images strictly the property of cinema, if only for thier existence on lengths of 16 mm film? Or are they an expansion of stylistic concerns extant in the most formal still photography? Which criterion era theylas photography) or if (the film entitled 11 x 14) to be judged by? One tries desperately to enumerate those elements which constitute a personal dialectic in Banning's almost-too-elegant wide-angle colour photography of mannered frame structures. White and warm? Most of the songs Angel performed were from their latest album. White Hot, but judging from last Friday's concert, it should be changed to Luke Warm. As the lead singer Frank DiMino was leaping about the stage was periodically blowing up and I had to give the group credit for trying very hard, but a good show is no substitute for talent. Not all the blame should be put on the group. There Dollar Brand at the Tralf — Precisely orchestrated tone passage from Close Encounters as different colors were flashed on the screen, was at least interesting. However, the crowd seemed more impressedby the band's pyrotechnics (due to the liberal use of flash bombs and explosions) than with each member's played the five — Benning created many contrasts and ironic juxtapositions based on well established codes of conventional composition and editing (Benning revealed afterwards that the choreography of most of the film's movements was tightly an equally intricate and important collage of scripted, and that his soundtrack sounds whose sources are both obvious and invisible - was the product of five months of meticulous re-recording and mixing.) The camera examines a ballplayer throwing a pitch. After an appropriate length of blackness, one sees a shot of the sky. An airplane, and not a baseball, travels through the frame. A sizable variety of movements within each single shot are patterned to great compositional and narrative (however minimal) effect. For instance, a stark, Ftuscha-like shot of a building with several doors, two symmetrical stairways and an elevated track traversing both the building's roof and the film's frame is viewed as a hotbed of potential activity. The fashion in which this movement occurs varies greatly from shot to shot: single independently mobile units whose movements are visibly constrained (planes on runways, street traffic) and others less apparent combine in a number of ways (singly, simultaneously, or sequenced with slight overlap) to "complete" what would otherwise be nothing more than intriguing and often beautiful still photographs. Impressive pyrotechnics and lame music one by one they magically appeared, from box-like devices with a flair that would have made Ralph Wilton proud. With the accompanyment of several flash bombs and the triumphant wailing of the choir they then took to the stage. — The complete picture Wielding drumsticks like axehandlet First light Abdullah Ibrahim, batter known at Dollar Brandi, shall make his first area appearance on Sunday, March 12. at the Tralfamadore Cafe.

Brand, born in Capetown, South Africa, possesses the fire forged realism and melodic mythology of his African heritage, showing at once some of the most basic and extended roots of the Music ( A bond he shared with Duke Ellington, who premiered him in this country's recording inckistry). He has performed with the Duke's own band (to Duke’s delight!), Don Cherry, Elvin Jones, a Gato Barbieri in growth, and has Just released an album on Chiaroscuro where his pretence is supportive to the exhibition of Count Basie alumnus Buddy Tate. ' Brand's brilliance reveals a common sense that contrasts with the apartheid policy of South Africa. The already acclaimed LP Capetown Fringe (on Chiaroscuro) shows the very flesh tones of humanity in motion. As the opening segment of this text discussed. Fringe is a Music unfrocking the infringement we all ultimately suffer under the colorless color of a self-indulgent fringe. This fringe (as practiced in our nightmares) is' a freezer preserving nothing, is not neat. Brand's music (both the R&B flavored title tune and the open sky psalm of "the Pilgrim") speaks of the need for all to rid themselves of infringements, their own inhibitions ruling (potentially ending) their lives. Brand speaks spiritually thru the total thrust of his crisp liquid pianistics and flautist's skill. The Children of Africa (Enja. now on Inner City) summons a conference of the loas and beautiful ones within us to be born. With the prime magicks of Cecil McBee on bass and Roy Brooks on drums. Brand claps happily to the Most High. "Banyana - smile and shout in the playful air of a new day. opening. One could think of the inimitible Miriam Makeba clicking us to life with her Xhosa pride (as does bass conjurer Johnny Dyani, as the rich vocals and flute play of Brand's Good Enja News From Africa shows. The duo unveils a search deep with many treasures of Afro-1 slamic traditions). There are many cases of this African Sun in the Air. — — The Sackvilia Shires In Africa, there is Soignage the magic bath . Clarity beckoning. At the heart of such running waters sits Sangoma. The one who beats the drum. Among the many masterworks of Brand’s career, an epoch is his two volumes for the Toronto based Sackville Records. With virtually the highest quality of any "jazz" (abet in North America (concerning surface sound and packaging as well as deep aesthetics), the sharp aquatic cry of Brand's play is brought fully to bear in this first collection of his solo piano work to be recorded in this continent. The first album, Sangoma shows his roots in the traditions of two continents. The suite “Fats, Duke and the Monk" portrays Brand crossing the terrain of Harlem, first from the opening stride step of the Ellington dissonance which first painted the full portrait of our struggle and our joy to find in this land. The-"Single Petal Of A Rose” may hold entire stories, as the fragrant night spray spun by Brand unveils. "Ode to Duke" is Brand's word waltzing with an agrassive jitterbug eloquence, as if sensing the rotund savior-faire of Fats Waller . . always one step from misbehaving A brief but bold sweetness of the "Honeysuckle Rose" beats with the rhythm of ritualistic rain and high priests leading the congregation into the Dance. Thus, the rich ptink-plunk of Thelonious Monk enters, a constructively broken step whose piano rose from the Duke's orchestral colors and his own grip extending the stride mastery of James P, Johnson and Willie The Lion" Smith (not to mention Fats). To merely 'Think Of One" is to deal with the beauty of the rest. Brand, in concluding the suite with his "Monk From Flarlem" and "Mumsy Weh", literally struts his stuff in a demonstration of Monkish wit and his own musical linguistics. The second Sackville album, African Portraits shows Brand speaking further for himself. We see, in the sparkling spiritual delivery of "Cherry/Bra Joe from Kilimanjaro", the laugh and the solid faith of the African folksong walking. Here is a hungry walk, a plentiful walk proud in the ages, feeling, facing the anguish of envy and all too human adversity. In this senseless bustle, Brand's music steps resurgently strong with the energetic promise of Peace . Hear him. Friday, 10 March 1978 The Spectrum . .

Precisely ait 8 p.m. The Godz started their set and with the battle cry "We ain't no punks and we ain't no faggotsl" They proceeded to blast out a brand of rock that really gave the amps a V workout, but only seemed to send the crowd streaming back to the bar. They couldn't even convince themselves as they chanted "The Godz are rock and rolll" over and over. Towards the end the lead singer shrieked that they had come all the way from Colombus, Ohio, to play here, but the crowd's response showed that they should have stayed there. They finished with some scattered applause and without an encore, thus ending their first and hopefully last Buffalo appearance. The Angel concert started off well enough What sounded like the Morman Tabernacle Choir set everyone running from the bar to their seats.

Law and Economics Changes lie ahead for TAP Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) awards have run on an up-to-date basis for the current academic year, according to a promotional report published by the Higher Education Services which (HESC), Corporation processes the awards. HESC, which had come under much fire from the State Legislature due the "disgraceful” handling of last year’s awards, is now performing "almost reasonably” according to a Senate spokesperson Melissa to Johnson. HESC’s better performance can be attributed to a “management plan” put into improvement effect last summer, according to John Moore, Executive Assistant President of HESC, The to the plan consisted of a change in staff members incluuing Vice President and Executive Vice President, a overhaul of TAP’s major computer program, a new computer, and a significant change in the TAP application, said Moore. The improvement plan, targeted to operate mainly during the crucial early fall season, was designed to process 80 percent of the 431 thousand applications by September 30. This goal, however, was not equal to the 80 percent completion rate by August 31, set by the State two years ago, before the development of the HESC “They still aren’t where they ought to be, they should have 100 the applications percent of processed by October 1,” said TONIGHT COCK ROBIN SATURDAY TALAS SUNDAY SLICK GREASE & THE DA’S AFTER DARK 6104 SOUTH TRANSIT ROAD workshops created Johnson As of February 1,90.3 percent of the applications received had been processed with an award given or denied 1.7 percent of the applications were awaiting processing, and 8 percent (over 34,500 students) were tabled “pending,” meaning their applications were incomplete in some and way additional information was expected. The 90 percent completion figure is way down from the 50 original percent incomplete of September, according to Moore. “People left out important information about income and other areas,” he said. Moore said that most of the mistakes were “careless” and due to “lack of rate family communication with regard to income matters.” About 1000 students at this University their incorrectly completed applications, according to Student Records application The going is revision this year. “We are going to rewrite all the instructions, have arrows pointing to a sample entry spots, application and bigger boxes,” Moore said. A financial aid advisor at this Universoty, Pat Lyons, said that the award situation was better this year than last, but problems still existed. “The State is not nearly as efficient as a few years ago,” she comitted.

It'scalied the Nuclear Propulsion Officer Candidate-Collegiate Program (NUPOC-C for short) and if you qualify, you can earn as much as $650 a month right through your senior year. Then after 16 weeks of Officer Candidate School, you'll receive an additional year of advanced technical education. This would cost you thousands in a civilian school, but in the Navy, we pay you. And at the end of the year of training, you'll receive a $3,000 cash bonus. It isn't easy. There are fewer than 400 openings and only one of every six applicants will be selected. But if you make it, you'll have qualified for an elite engineering training program. With unequaled hands-on responsibility, a $24,000 salary in four years, and gilt-edged qualifications for jobs in private industry should you decide to leave the Navy later.

Inspired by the now infamous, rather banal. Randy Newman hit “Short People,” a party sponsored by radio station Q-FM and held in the Bailey Avenue Library’s Stacks last Tuesday proved to be a friendly, intimate setting for Buffalo’s shortcakes. “This idea for a short people’s club came to me one morning as I was driving to work,” said tall radio person Jim Santella. The response to Santella’s mini-brainstorm was overwhelming, he related, as 300 people requested official “Short People” membership cards, all for the simple fun of it. Santella hopes to entice local merchants to give little folks discounts on food, clothes and entertainment. During the evening, Q-FM jock Matt Reedy announced, “You have no one to thank for this party but Randy Newman.” To a large extent, though, it seems to have been the media, not Newman, who are responsible for covering the whole short people issue. A big voice Put in a unique instance, senior Village Voice, Robert Christgau, gave both short people and Buffalo a degree of national exposure in his February article, “Don’t Want No Smart People ‘Round Here’.” Christgau, who has taken a shortcut on height himself, seemed to think that the playing of the Newman song for an hour straight by Q-FM Music Director John Velschophf was voicing some hostility against a minority. But Velschophf claims that he played the disc pure enjoyment. He may for no other hve short-circuited listener’s nerves in the process.

Called the “Committee to Abolish Chapters 677 and 678," the group originally consisted of a handful of SUNY at Albany’s faculty. their numbers But increased dramatically after a call for money to support a look at the legal options went out on the Albany campus. The response very was encouraging according Committee treasurer Robert Sanders, who added that he was not very surprised “considering that before the law passed nearly Libraries extend I.D.s two-thirds of SUNY’s professional staff had not joined the union.” Headed by Professors Arthur hkirch. Vincent Aceto, and Sanders the Committee plans a court challenge on the grounds that the law is excessively vague, violates Constitutional and of freedom of guarantees association, due process, and equal protection under the law. No refund procedure vagueness lies The University Libraries will continue to honor the regular class schedule cards and accept identification such as a driver s license.

The effect of that vagueness, according to Ekirch, is that money can be taken from non-members and spent in ways repugnant to them. To illustrate the abuses which can take place under the law, Aceto cited the procedures for refunding money that were adopted by the union. “UUP makes the decisions on the size of refunds, and places the burden on employees to find deficiencies in their accounting,” he said. “And if an employee appeals the union’s decision, the last recourse is binding arbitration, with the employee paying half the cost.” The Committee has been advised that the court battle could end up in the United States Court. “We have Supreme postponed filing our suit until we are sure we can cover our costs,” said Sanders, who added that an appeal for support is going out to the other SUNY campuses. * no asl He was in his twenties.

Six and seven years before (my last sojourns to D.C.), I had marched up that Avenue and stood in solidarity with hundreds of thousands of others on the Capitol lawn and, in between choking on obnoxious tear gas, screamed for Nixon to pull his Dick out of Cambodia. Selling the Administration That solidarity did not characterize this group of bright, very well dressed college editors now listening to Dave Rubinstein, the Deputy Assistant for Domestic Affairs and Policy, perhaps because ho national issue impresses them enough to harp on it. Rubenstein, young and articulately slick, was more critical of the Administration than the others, and outlined its three major mistakes: not selling itself to the public (“it is so difficult to organize a public education program”), not telling people what its priorities are and not “convincing, umm telling, people what we have accomplished." Rubenstein labeled energy this year’s number one domestic priority, and mentioned how difficult it is to buck the special interests of the gas and oil who have rich, powerful lobbies and control the means and research into.energy in the private sector. Just how the Administration does that he did not specify. Then the room was cleared row by row for a security check by the Secret Service men and we found ourselves out in the long corridor, getting our promotional packets searched. Upon our re-entry, Jill Schuker, Special Assistant to the Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs in the Department of - State, was defending the proposed Panama Canal Treaty but provoked few questions from the audience, by now distracted by the TV crews and photographers moving in. Naive proponents The every popular Midge Costanza, the Assistant to the President for Public Liaison and the highest ranking woman on the White House staff (who hails from Rochester), told us how she has opened up the White House to special caucuses of people who, in former times, demonstrated on Pennsylvania Avenue. She is .extremely dynamic convincing, but rumor has it she sees so many people that she is left out of the top secrets floating and about the White House. Such is the price of the gift of gab. Making waste. correctly, collection making impossible and creating a litter problem. Slovenliness at the town’s four recycling depots has also jeopardized the rest of the program in the past. One Amherst Highway Official, when questioned about this aspect of its undertaking, gave a gut level reaction, exclaiming, “People are animals.” Immaculate park > It waa just such disregard, coupled with apathy, that was advanced as Buffalo’s rationale for closing down its depots last year. Participation city’s by the residents was deemed Additionally, unsatisfactory. many cans did not have the ring tabs removed, and contaminated bottles were toft. The depots also became an illicit dumping ground for other varieties Of trash. The former recycling depot at Main and Delevan is now the Linwood-Oxford Association, Inc. Temporary Rest Area. Hie lot, across the street from Forest Lawn Cemetary, shows no signs of its former function. It is an immaculate vest pocket park, free of any residual clutter from its recycling days. A young woman waiting for a bus on the opposite comer noted, “There used to be a sign there that said recycling, but 1 never say anything recycled there.’’ Of course, the full brunt of recycling responsibility does not have to fail on government. Various private agencies and businesses have made contributions in this regard. ~ Aluminum drive For of yean, beginning in 1971, the Coca-Cola plant in Tonawanda offered cash for beverage containen. Ten cents a pound was paid for cant, Vt cent for glass bottles and non-returnable Coke bottles, and 2 cents each for' returnable Coke bottles. In the second year of the Coca-Cola program began donating some of the money to an environmental research group rather than to the individuals who a couple turned in containers. Sporadic initiatives by businesses followed, including an aluminum drive by Tops Markets in conjunction with Reynolds Aluminum in 1976. All household aluminum was encompassed rather than just cans. In early 1976 Erie County considered three proposals by private industry for alternate use of solid waste. Plans were submitted by the Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation, Hooker Chemical and Plastics Corporation, and the Southtown Sewage Treatment Plant. When no proposal had been sanctioned by the county a year later, Hooker announced its aim to realize its plans aqyway. Hooker’s energy conversion plant will use solid waste to produce steam power for its manufacturing processes. The projected date of completion for the plant, which will cost about 75 million dollars, is two years from now. Ferrous material (metals) will be extracted from the refuse and sold, with an option to extend this policy to glass and aluminum, if this proves feasible. Material which is neither burnable or saleable will be used as landfill. Hooker estimates it will have the capacity to process 216S tons of refuse per day. Hint's garbage Although there was originally speculation that Buffalo would develop an arrangement with Hooker for utilization of the city’s waste, no accord has been seriously attempted. The conversion plant will rely on refuse outlying from municipalities and Newco Waste Systems, Inc., a private sanitation in Niagara Falls. company Overtures from both West Seneca and Tonawanda to join with Buffalo in supplying the Hooker operation were virtually ignored by the dty.^ Another rejection of an idea that could have appraoched the city’s trash problem in a positive Manner occurred last year.

At the time plans for the plant had been more or less concrete, and the Sewer Authority didn’t wish to take the immediate expense or time to implement the recommendation. Short' of these comprehensive resource conversion schemes, recycling of the more conventional type makes sense / economically and ecologically. Processing cans out of used ones requires only four per cent of the energy involved in manufacturing aluminum from bauxite. 3.75 tons of trees are necessary to make one ton of paper, but only 1.1 tons of recycled paper. Paper can be recycled repeatedly, the highest grades of paper as many as eight times. The figures on glass are not as formiddable, but they are still encouraging. One small-scale hope in the city of Buffalo is a resurrection of Milo. A cooperative venture in its initial stages, Milo was formed when Paii Spencer joined with a pre-existant local environments! group in April of 1977. The Coop worked out of a warehouse on the' West side, accepting the deposit of glass, aluminum and paper, as well as carrying out weekly pickup runs along routes in a few sections of the city. ■ Major obstacle By the fall most of those active in Milo had dropped out over what Jim $turnm termed a “disagreement” with Spencer.

Boss Players crushed the injury ridden Omen 64-45, with a devastating scoring surge early in the second half. The Omen stayed close in the first period with some inspired play from Scott Milchman, whose all out hustle and numerous thefts along with Harry Hart’s one man scoring attack paced the team. But some sloppy ballhandling led to the Omen’s dismal fate in the second half. Boss Players grabbed a 40-25 lead as the Omen failed to score a basket for the halfs first nine minutes. Fouls were a factor as Boss Players converted 20 free throws in this half as opposed to the one they made in the first. Both teams were forced to play with four men over the last two minutes as Milchman and Mike Bridges fouled x out. The game’s high point Boss Player Terry Diggs’ slam dunk which brought wows from the crowd. Star forward Diggs shot poorly during the game, but he combined with Norman Jones to control the backboards and establish an effective running game. Rob Feldleit played well in the losing cause as did Hart who scored 26 points. Greased lightning In the second game White Lightning trounced Trigger Happy 63-39. White Lightning’s backcourt of Mark Golubow and Steve Silber had an easy time against Trigger Happy, moving the ball crisply and setting up easy baskets. After ten minutes they led 20-4 and the game was pretty much decided. Trigger Happy relied on their “Franchise,” Art Garfinkel, for the bulk of their scoring, but he wasn’t enough Garfinkel’s 8 points and Howie Grossman’s 6 provided all of their teams scoring in the first half. With one second left in the half, Roy Chipkin hit Golubow with a nice pass, who made a three-point play on a reverse layup making it 36-14. Golubow connected on several long jumpers while scoring 13 first half points. White Lightning executed their plays with near flawless precision, working patiently for good shots on offense. Their fullcourt press bothered Trigger Happy as Garfinkel had to bring the ball up often. Eddie Skolnick'of White Lightning played a strong, all around game, scoring 13 for the game. Garbage time With the issue already apparent the second half became extended garbage time as both teams virtually traded baskets; White Lightning had a slight advantage 27-25. Golubow did more driving to the hoop in the second half. He left with seven minutes to go in the game, after scoring 22 points. Art Garfinkel finished with 24 points for the losers as White lightning stormed to victory. An exciting game can be expected from the forthcoming semi-final match up between Boss Players and White Lightning. Boss Players appear to have a manpower shortage but have some excellent talent and should give the well disciplined White Lightning trouble^ Friday, 10 March 1978 . The Spectrum .

Rivera, who lives in Wilkenson Quad, also in Ellicott, was ordered by Amherst Town Justice Sherwood Bestry to undergo psychiatric examination on Sunday. Rivera is being held without bail and a preliminary hearing is scheduled for Monday night. Cordero was repeatedly stabbed at 3:55.p.m. in his Richmond dormitory room on the Amherst campus with a pair of scissors and died of multiple chest and abdominal wounds at 5:06 p.m. in Millard Fillmore Suburban HospitalAccording to several residents of the floor where the incident occurred, Cordero was in his room when he received a visitor about T30 Sunday afternoon. One witness said she heard screams coming from Cordero’s room and then two floor residents rushed to his door when they heard the commotion. The two students dragged Cordero, who was bleeding profusely, into their room, and held shut his door. University Police arrived shortly thereafter, found Rivera in Cordero’s room and handcuffed him. Cordero was given first aid at the scene by officers Timothy Mourdant and Gary Palefsky. Assisting in the arrest and the investigation were officers Budnick, Martz, Loga and Investigator Wayne Robinson. University Police said that they had interviewed several residents on the hall where Cordero lived and learned that he and Rivera were friends, but they had not determined a motive for the stabbing. At least a dozen University Police officers are participating in the investigation along with assistance from Amherst Police. They are looking for possible motives and are in the process of submitting evidence to the lab. Officers found a pair of blood-stained scisssors allegedly used in the murder in the hallway outside Cordero’s door. University Investigator Frank A. Panek, commented, “The investigation is almost 75 percent Complete.” As of Monday, approximately one-half of the students who were in the immediate area at the time had been interviewed. All students were told not to speak to the press, according to sources. Cordero was majoring in Speech Therapy and Rivera is an electrical engineering student.

UB, with its new Amherst Campus still incomplete, has budgeted S7 million just Tor utilities In 1978-1979.” Buffalo Evening News With the price of energy increasing at an even faster rate than inflation, it is conceivable that students will be paying higher tuition and dorm bills in the near future. According to Associate Director of Housing Cliff Wilson, “It doesn’t look like Albany will increase rates this year.” this statement Obviously doesn’t lend itself to a feeling of financial security. One student has become very involved with the energy problem. Chuck Schwartz, an engineering major, has done independent research and work with the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYP1RG) and Rachel Carson College (RCC). In a recent paper, he asked, “Why is so much money spent on energy? Much of it can be directly attributed to waste.’ He contended, “By conserving energy an extra $ 1.4 to 2.1 million per year would be available, to be spent on things other than fuel.” This represents a 20-30 per cent reduction in the University’s utility bill. - Resources limited Why aren’t the necessary steps being taken to attain these goals? Before answering this question, a basic understanding of the resources on both energy campuses is needed. Main Street Campus is heated by steam created at a boiler room run on coal, oil and gas. Assistant Director of the Main Street Physical Plant David Rhoads said, “Steam is probably more efficient However, Schwartz claimed, than electricity.” However, the Amherst Campus is run on “Just turning off lights could save electricity. Many feel this is so almost 10 per cent on energy because of the short-range consumption.” Senior Stationary planning on the part of the Engineer Dwight Halstead tried to architects, and the fact that when clear up this discrepancy. “Fans the new campus was conceived draw up the heat from the tights seemingly at whatever gives off heat in the ago. ten years boundless resources were room,” he said, “and takes it back available.

Wednesday night four groups, like bonding metals, joined forces to fuse their actions and interests in an effort to make University facilities accessible to the physically handicapped. Represented groups included The an Independents, physically organization of handicapped and able-bodied Nejv York Public Group Research (NYPIRG); Group Legal Services (GLS); and the Office of Services for the Handicapped (OSH).

But according to Neal, it takes a year to receive the design after applying. “The application has long been in,” Neal explained. “The money is in place, the architects have been hired, and the program has been written.” The possibility of completion before the deadline is feasible, he asserted. High emotions cause the handicapped to overlook technical legalities which result in higher expectations possible of concessions. “The University is at this time legally programmatically CONFRONTING BARRIERS; Four University groups, including the new organized Independents have banded together to ease the handicapped's plight on this barrier-filled campus. accessible,” maintained Bertha Cutcher, Director of OSH.

Shooting for compliance Expressing NYPIRG’s position, Wainrib remarked, “Our element of strategy is not that we’re doing a legal compliance study, but we’re doing a study of compliance without regulations. That’s a whole other issue.” He explained that NYPIRG is working toward providing accessibility to the Handicapped Access. Wainrib added that the regulations must be improved so that carrying a student up the stairs in a is wheelchair not within acceptable definition of accessibility.

According to Morton Gassman the University of State Construction Fund, contracts .' could be awarded and some work started by the 1978 construction season if the bonds are sold. Amherst Campus projects that are ready for bidding include a $9 million engineering building, an $8.6 million music hall, a $4.3 million communication center, a $9.2 million gymnasium and field house and a S3 million lecture hall. University Nevertheless, as President Robert Ketter said in Albany last week, the Erie County delegation to the State Legislature must lobby intensively to make certain that the Amherst Campus is included in any new State University building programs. The new possibility of the sale came about last week when HFA sold $42.75 million in bonds changing them from short term to lower interest long term status. That move was necessary because of the State’s insistence that HFA refinance nearly $200 million in short-term obligations. HFA was denied access to the bond market in the aftermath of the 1975 State and New York City fiscal crisis. With the refinancing of the $200 million in short-term notes the agency may market to sell State University construction bonds. The $42.75 million in bonds sold last Wednesday included $2.4 now enter the million to pay off ‘notes on a completed University project, the renovation of the former Buffalo Meter Company building at 2917 Main Street. The building, now Bethune Hall, presently the Art School. houses HFA officials were encouraged by the relatively low interest rate negotiated for the $42.75 million bond sale. Another good sign was that nearly the entire issue was bought by banks. The Buffalo Evening News quoted Gas-man as saying, “State University construction bonds are attractive to investors because the bonds are backed by student tuition, fees and so forth.” The one remaining problem, however, is that the State no longer permits the HFA or similar public corporations to enter the bond market independently. Approval for a bond sale must first be obtained from the Public Authorities Control Board. The Board was formed in 1976 to prevent State agencies from glutting the bond market with State commercial paper. Before that approval will be given the State must complete it’s annual spnng borrowing. “Every agency has to wait now,” said Gassman. The State normally borrows in early April from $3 billion to $4 billion in short-term notes after the annual budget is approved. Wednesday, 8 March 1978 . The Spectrum .

Coon - 10- �Mandatory deposit for bottles? by Mary Helmetsie Staff Writer Spectrum A bill introduced to the New York State Legislature and the Commerce Committee in the Assembly calls for a mandatory five-cent deposit on non-returnable bottles and cans. Opponents of the bill fear economic loss for the beverage industries due to added expense of recycling containers and the resultant unemployment if less bottles and Cans are manufactured. The campus-based New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) is strongly backing the bill. However, the New York State Senate’s Task Force on Critical Problems published a study of the effects of a ban on non-returnable containers. The report gauged the effects the bottle bill would have on beverage container manufacturers, soft drink bottlers, brewers and beer wholesalers. Influential passage Analysis of the impact on employment, payroll changes, new capital requirements, and cost of production changes concluded that “the container cost savings from reusing refillable bottles more than outweighed the additional costs of filling, handling, distributing and returning refillable bottles." For instance, it was found that refillable bottles for soft drinks should result in a 32 cents per case savings over non-refillable bottles or cans. In addition, the Task Force cited the following advantages of the bottle bill: reduction of litter and solid waste, conservation of natural resources, consumer savings, energy savings, and employment boosts At present, the bill is in the Conservation and Recreation Committee of the State Senate. Chairman of the Committee, B.C. Smith, is a co-sponsor of the bottle bill, which is expected to pass without difficulty. Republican Warren Anderson, Senate Majority Leader, is the other co-sponsor of the bill. Anderson is expected to be quite influential in its passage on the Senate floor. Many benefits A member of the Buffalo area NYPIRG, Paul Maggiotgo, suspects that the main problem will be to get the bill past the Democratic Assembly. New York State Governor Hugh Carey urged the Connecticut Legislator last year to defeat a similar five-cent deposit plan, because he thought it would be detrimental to New York State business. The Task Force pointed out, however, the fallacy in believing that the bill would hurt industry. The legislation would reportedly provide an additional 5200 jobs in the state, with an increased payroll of about $35 million annually. Some industries now favor the bill. Alcoa Aluminum has withdrawn its- opposition, because the company is running out of its resources and sees a need to conserve. Pails for pollution NYPIRG, a member of New Yorkers for Retumables, has been joined in its drive for passage of the mandatory five-cent deposit bill by another environmental group, Housewives to End Pollution Presently, NYPIRG is arranging with Inter-Residence Council Business InC. to have pails outside the doors of the campus grocery stores so that students can drop bottles and cans. The litter will then be recycled. Some legislators have suggested that the State collect the littered beverage containers for recycling. But Maggiotgo protests that such an alternative “is treating the symptoms of the problem instead of its source.” NYPIRG has been planning strategies to gather support for the bill. The consumer group plans to write letters of information to the public, speak to interested organizations and bolster a letter writing campaign directed at State legislators. NYPIRG will sponsor a letter-wr iting campaign Wednesday Thursday and Friday of this week in Squire Hall. BUFFALO MAYFLOWER.

To remain competitive, candidates must shell out campaign money for publicity to ensure consistency among the political parties and individual candidates. A campaign spending limit is decided upon by the Elections and Credentials Committee dictating the maximum amount of money each party may spend. According to Elections and Credentials Committee Chairperson Robert Whitaker, each party must keep an itemized account of all campaign expenses which is then reviewed by the Committee Campaign‘money, which comes from the candidates’ own resources, must fall witlun the agreed upon limit During the recent SA election, a one-person $64.00, a spend no more than party could two-person party had a limit of $84 00, with each additional person in the party, the limit was increased by $20.00. Mike Volan, who ran the campaign for the Epic Party feels that it pays to spend heavily on the campaign before The Spectrum endorsements are printed, “If your party happens to be endorsed, then you can take it easy on campaigning,” Volan observed, “but if your party isn’t endorsed, you have to work two or three times as hard on Campaigning and it may not even be worth it.” The Epic Party, which spent four dollars over their limit of $244, concentrated its funds on posters and platforms. According to Volan, the professional quality of the Epic Party’s banners and posters could have been sacrificed. “Since most posters are tom down anyway, we should have sacrificed quality for the quantity,” he said. Barry Rubin, successful independent candidate for Director of Student Activities and Services, found that the most effective campaign expenditure was the 8x11 posters with his caricature inscribed on it “The $64.00 limit established for an independent candidate is purely unrealistic,” Rubin said. “As far as student finances are concerned, I can’t see how any student could afford $64.00 for a campaign.” Rubin’s Over their limit According to incoming SA Executive Vice President Karl Schwartz, of The Party, a campaign spending budget totalling SI52.34 was spent mostly on 780 posters that were hung just about everywhere on the Campuses. “Perhaps even more effective than the posters was the ad that we purchased in The Spectrum said Schwartz, who managed most of The Party's finances. “If we could start the campaign again, we would allocate more money for another ad in The Spectrum. The students seem to pay more attention to The Spectrum than to posters, which are either ignored or torn down.” election bid expenses totalled including a $31.00, approximately five-dollar contribution to the defunct Destiny Party. He feels that being known in the dormitories through hjs association with the Inter-Residence Council was a big advantage for him, along with The endorsement. Spectrum According to Whitaker, it is very hard to exactly how much each party spends. “They could very easily spend more than the limit and not teport it, but the Elections and Credentials Committee can only work with the reports they receive from the parties.” Griffin seeks referendum Crisis time for city schools ,by Joel DiMarco Staff Writer Spectrum Buffalo Mayor James Griffin announced Saturday that he will seek a voter referendum next November on whether Buffalo will retain an elected Board of Education. Four years ago, Griffin was one of the strongest advocates in getting the then-appointed school board replaced by an elected board. Since then, he has repeatedly expressed dissatisfaction with the school board and the election process. “1 thought an elected school board would be better simply because it was elected by the people,” the mayor observed. “However, the people haven’t responded to the elected board concept. They aren’t coming out to vote and special school elections are awfully costly.” For the past month, the financially strapped school board has waged a legal feud with the mayor and City Comptroller Robert Whelan over which side should handle the school budget. The board has vehemently opposed a city takeover, using dozens of court precedents to back it up. One such precedent states that no elected branch of government “may usurp the authority of any other branch of government by non-electoral means,” according to a 1919 court decision preventing a mayor from interfering in the plans of his city’s school board to institute the teaching of the controversial subject of evolution. Flight of fantasy Griffin also announced that he has asked the Buffalo Area Chamber of Commerce to conduct a study of the mechanics of the school department The school board offered no official comment on this study but one source asserted that such a study would definitely look bad for the board and the mayor knows it. As it stands now, the school board is already eight million dollars in the red due to the enormous costs of the city’s new desegregation program, with only enough money to keep operating until May I. School superintendent Fugene Reville has said repeatedly that the courts will probably force the state to absorb some of the costs of the desegregation program just as Michigan was forced to for Detroit’s pay program. desegegration Comptroller Whelan termed this idea “a flight of fantasy.” x The school board had also hoped that the courts would force the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) to help defray some of the desegregation costs since Buffalo has become something of a model for other school departments across the country. However, the U.S, Supreme Court shattered this hope week in ruling that HEW did not have to help pay for Louisville, Kentucky’s desegregation costs. The Court also upheld three separate Congressional acts forbidding such subsidies. However, this eight million dollar deficit doesn't even represent the least of 3 he board’s money worries. In 1972, the state legislature passed a bill allowing cities and towns across the state to raise property taxes above the limit set in the state’s contitution Since then, cities have raised property taxes in order to pay for school costs, while citizen’s groups have waged court battles to have this act declared unconstitutional. If the property tax legislation is declared unconstitutional, schools across the state will be in deep financial trouble. Buffalo’s system would suffer losing $15 million. the greatest financial hardship Niagara Falls schools would lose $4.6 million, City of Tonawanda $1 million, Lackawanna $3.2 million, Rochester $6 million and Yonkers $10 million in school revenues. To make matters worse for Buffalo, the courts have recently decided that bankrupt companies such as the Erie-Lackawanna Railroad and firms that owned the old grain elevators on the city’s waterfront do not have to pay the hundreds of thousands in back property tax dollars they owe the — city. < Undisputably legal Since it takes at least two years to effect a change in the state constitution that would make the property tax legislation un'disputably legal. The above cities would face these deficits for two straight years unless the state came to their aid. This would force the state to raise taxes, or to use the money presently employed in keeping New York City from going bankrupt. The problem with raising taxes is that this is a gubernatorial election year and the Republicans and Democrats are painfully aware that if either party supports such a rise in state taxes the opposition would have the advatnage in the governor’s race. At present there is little anyone can do about the situation until the courts render their decisions. But school board officials fear that the board’s problems, while not entirely of- its own making, could be used to make the board look bad and sway the referendum against them. The referendum would have no legal power but could easily decide which way the Common Council would feel about continuing the elected school board. Wednesday, 8 March 1978 . The Spectrum . Page five �pr"“ EDITORIAL Rest in peace A bright young man will never graduate from this University. He is dead, the tragic victim of a conflict that had nothing to do with anyone, as far as can be ascertained, save a very few. The local press has made the incident front page news not so much because it was a killing, but because it was the first time such a death has occurred at this University. The- often-heard comments being passed about on the buses, in the hallways and on the walkways leading to classes and they are stupid and ignorantly typical of students here is that wild Puerto Ricans are running around Ellicott looking for blood. The fact is, though both students were Puerto Ricans, the tragic'killing was isolated and had nothing to do with Puerto Rican students at this University or with the ■ tatih community in Buffalo. Those who fear the contrary and who behave accordingly are confirming their own inbred racism and are running from those whose skins are darker than their own. More important now is how a student can be swallowed by this University feeling alienated, isolated and having no family, emerge almost four years later frustrated to the point of insanity, finally kill someone and have his mental digression go uncared for. Living in Ellicott for four years could have only aggravated his discontent and alienation, its physical hierarchy being as demeaning and ill-conceived as it is. University officials, as officially hassled by the death as they must be, perhaps now can impress on Albany how crucial the construction of a gym is, how necessary full-time doctors are and how the Amherst Campus as a whole is being occupied in spite of itself. a! /overt qua fue matado may Danny Corderr) rest in peace and know that he was loved on earth.

Your cheating heart To the Editor “If you don’t underestimate us we won’t trample your face.” Dylan. Being of sound satirical minds and bodies, we for two created a bright and clever letter on the nature of human beings and their interactions with one another, i.e. cheating. Now some people have flown off the proverbial handle and voiced — slanderous slurs concerning our educational experiences. Steve Snyder, an obvious pseudonym for Merv Griffin, has the audacity to call us “mindless asses.” We don’t hold grudges but this goes a wee bit far. Look, Snyder, it’s people (we use the word loosely) like you and your depraved attitudes which perpetuate dishonesty. Your assumptions are deeply disturbing and perhaps with intensive care and immediate help you can avoid permanent and total brain loss. What exactly do phrases like “doomed to a middle class existence" or “chained to menial jobs” mean to you? In fact, isn’t it your kind of perverted fear of “failure” which motivates the acceptance of diabolical measures, i.e. cheating. There are but a finite quantity of “prestigious” jobs in the depths of the big muddy. Should those who “fail” to attain them look down on themselves? We for two refuse - to pollute our educational atmosphere with thoughts of wealth and membership to Studio 54. Are we to believe that success is gaged by income alone? If one accepts distorted that philosophy then why shouldn’t people cheat? After all, we can’t all be in the top five percentile. Should the rest accept a fate of “swearing under their breaths” at those with better jobs and primer ribs? Snyder, hypothetically speaking, what if you weren’t blessed with such a gifted mind, such verbal dexterity? Imagine if you were only capable of (God forbid!!) no better than a C average. How would you feel knowing you were destined to an impoverished life in the dreadful middle class? Get off it Snyder, your kind of sickness has diseased this campus for too long. Indoctrination . . . education, what’s the difference if you’re not driving a coupe de ville, huh Snyder? Feel proud not because you don’t cheat but because as long as attitudes like yours prevail there will never be a lack of contestants for Let’s Make a Deal. Hey Steve, we hear it gets mighty cold up in those ivory towers, don’t forget your scarf wrap tight now. Oh yeah, . . .There we think you’re a beautiful person. oughta be a law against your coming around . . .” - “ C Weiner M. Silberman Soviet Jewry strike To the Editor March 15.

Heidi Lewis �Abortion and excommunication To the Editor In a recent The Spectrum interview on Catholic teaching and abortion, K.D. Whitehead of Catholics United for the Faith rightly pointed out that anyone who performs, undergoes, or helps procure an abortion is immediately excommunicated from the Church. By this censure the Church seeks to underline how grave a sin abortion is. However, he was quoted as saying fhat this penalty can be lifted only by the bishop. This is incorrect, and out of concern that anyone who is in such real need of reconciliation might be intimidated by this statement I wish to clarify it. In present pastoral practice it is not only the bishop but any confessor of one’s choice who is enabled to remove the excommunication for abortion. Formerly only the bishop had this faculty. At that time, after the confession and forgiveness of the sin, the confessor would inform the bishop that a penitent (who remained nameless) had made his confession and the bishop would then lift the excommunication. The penitent learned of this action when he returned to the confessor and was then permitted to receive Communion. When a priest discerned, however, that a sincere penitent was in such distress that he could not bear to return again, he could personally remove the excommunication and inform the bishop he had done sc. At no point was the penitent’s identity known to the priest unless he made it known to him and never was this identity known to the bishop. This war the former practice. Checking into present practice, I find that in the Diocese of Buffalo this excommunication is now removed wholly within the Sacrament of Reconciliation by one’s chosen confessor. I hope that those who have this sin on their but got the impression that they would have to' personally see the bishop will now let nothing block their way to a quick return to sacramental life. The forgiveness of Jesus and of the whole Church is there. Be reconciled again to God, and man, and self. I would like further to respond to a quote from a group called Catholics for a Free Choice to the effect that the Church’s teaching on abortion, “has never been an official encyclical nor an official Church doctrine or dogma.” First, abortion has been condemned in encyclical letters of Pius XI, John XXHl, and Paul VI and by the Second Vatican Council. But more importantly, I would warn against setting up criteria of what is “official” teaching and conscience claiming that all else is an open question. Historically, Church teaching has been defined almost always only at times of widespread denial of a particular teaching. It is true that no pope or council has ever solemnly proclaimed that the evil of abortion is an article of what the apostle Paul calls then the faith “which all the apostles teach and which you believe” (1 Cor. 15, II) and so must be believed. But neither has the Church ever solemnly defined the evil of murder, rape, kidnapping, blackmail, blasphemy or any other number of real evils. That these are evil is the ordinary, constant, everyday teaching of the Church. There has never been any real need to “officially” declare them sinful. The evil of all these things, abortion too, should be obvious to Christians, and false meticulousness about what is “official” goes against the very mind of Jesus who warned against trying to follow some minimal letter of the law while violating its spirit. Let us first thank you for your affirmative desire to see a comprehensive annual Third World Week,program with greater appeal to the University’s student body and which can be more successful than those of the previous years. This certainly coincides with the objective of the Third World Student Association and we can assure you that we would do our utmost to accomplish such goals. We would like to point out at the outset that the planning and organization of the annual Third World Week, the writing and publication of the Third World Newsletter, the organizing of other events and activities such as film shows, plays, lectures, panel discussions etc., on the third world, and the participation in the routine day-to-day functioning of the Third World Student Association are all open to anyone within the University community who has a desire to be invovled in the same. We think it necessary, to clarify, however, what the third worid is, what the Third World Week is conceived to be, and how it is generally organized, so that no erroneous and unfair observations such as in your letter, are made by anyone in the future. The third world is not an abstract idea, nor an academic term, nor is it a definition of geography. The third world is a product of history, encompassing countries which have shared a common colonial past as well as the common present of striving to realize their national rights for political and economic independence. The world public opinion whether as organized within the United Nations, or otherwise outside it, has clearly asserted itself in favor of these just aspirations of the third world countries and people. It is in the context of this reality that the Third World Student Association is founded. The TWSA believes that the national rights third world people for and their desire for self-reliant economic development are just and hence should be made known amongst the American people. At the same time there does exist bigot points of view, unjust and unpopular they may be, that are based on racial inequality, religious sectarianism, etc. Not only do they exist as passive-points of view, but they also assume active material forms such as the settler colonial regimes in some parts of the third world. One can cite as an illustrative example the regime based on apartheid in South. Africa. Obviously we support neither the perpetuation of such bigot points of view nor the continuation of regimes based on the same. On the contrary, we support the national rights of the indigeneous people there for self-determination. And every right thinking person, we are confident, would agree with of the self-determination us. We only hope that your suggesting that all opinions be allowed freedom of expression does not imply that bigotry such as apartheid be given recognition and legitimacy. If it does, then, we have Dangerous spew To the Editor We here at the University of Buffalo are very concerned about a leaking nuclear reactor on campus and rightly so. What concerns me though is another deadly menace on campus. As of the writing of this letter nerve gas and mustard gas are being stored in the Chemical Storage Building immediately adjacent to the Health Science Complex. Chlorine gas would have been added to the list, if it weren’t for an accident that occurred on February 15 in which a valve came off a container of chlorine gas and all the gas spewed out. This accident occurred in the Chemical Storage Building, but most of the gas escaped through the drainage and ventilation systems of that building and contaminated the surrounding campus area. The accident could have easily involved nerve gas with much more disasterous results. The chemicals were in the process of being transported to chemical storage from the Bell Facility on Main Street, which is being vacated. 1 believe that these extremely dangerous chemicals should be moved with the utmost cate to a saje storage area where they can pose no danger to '9 the health and life of anyone. Michael Rosenbaum Robert Wise Third World and SA The following letter was sent to Student Association (SAJ President Dennis Delia by Raju. member of the Third World Student Association regarding the proposed guidelines established for Third World Week at this University. FEEDBACK to say in no uncertain terms; “We disagree. We neither want to provide a forum for such views nor do we think it appropriate to expend student money on the same.” To this extent, indeed, we are selective in what opinions are presented on our platforms. Apart from such selectivity, the Third World Week, as well as all the other activities of the TWSA provide the forum for a variety of views to be expressed. And it cannot but be otherwise, given the complex reality of the third world. Different social and political systems characterize the countries of the third world and different social forces operate in each of those countries. This naturally leads to the existertce Of a diversity of perspectives within the third world. But what is common amongst them all, the factor that unites them, is their aspiration for genuine political-economic independence. It is this unity amidst the diversity of the third world that the TWSA attempts to present in all its activities. Before concluding, we do not want to belabor on the erroneous ‘.‘fact” that constitutes the sole basis of your letter. It may be pointed out that much prior to the formulation of even the theme for the Third World Week, 1977 letters of invitation were sent out to every organized third world group within the University as well as to those American student organizations, academic departments, etc. that had shown during the previous year keen interest in all our activities and deep sympathy .for our goals. Indeed, some of them chose to participate in the structuring and implementation of the entire program while others made available the meagre resources they possessed. We do not know of any single third world group that wished to participate with us in popularizing the third world people's strive for national rights and self-determination and yet remained excluded from the same. We always need more students to work with us and would be only too glad to involve immediately anyone interested in our ongoing worfc. To conclude, let us point out that hardly few activities within the University draw as much of a broad response as the activities organized by the TWSA. The diversity of the audience reflects the fact that the informational and cultural presentations are indeed capable of appealing to the broad spectrum of interests within the University, as it intended by us. This is in stark contrast to narrow, sectarian, religious or other activities some others choose to organize expending large amounts of the student money. We have been encouraged and enthused by the more than adequate expression of support shown by the University community including the SA Executive Committee While we believe that we can improve our work many a' time more and in a number of ways, we do not agree with the erroneous basis of your letter. In short, your effort at stipulating any criteria is irrelevent because such criteria (ire already in effect in our practice and constitute a of principle governing our functioning. Raju, Member Third World Student A ssociation Fascism breeding To the Editor Today in America there are far too many examples of a sickness that is manifesting itself during this economic crisis. On the surface this country appears to be experiencing only bits of problems here and there. But again, they say, “don’t worry about it; it could nevef touch us,” Yet, to believe this is to ignore this country’s unmentioned sickness which is making itself felt. To be specific, the disease that is spreading its most horrible vehom through the person named America is designed as Fascism: 11 is now appearing in Detfoit;it will sdon'appear in Skokie,'Illinois, and has a pretty much permanent residency in our own Queen City Buffalo. In Detroit the American National Socialist Party, the Nazis, have opened a headquarters in the southwest part of town. In response to this “grand opening” an .alliance was formed. It is made up of students (yes, that’s right, students), unionists and members of the community. This alliance staged a protest demonstration at the Nazi headquarters on February 6, 1978. Two hundred fifty people were there to fight Fascism. A leaflet put out by this alliance said its purpose was to set up a “joint - labor committee to determine what is needed and to take necessary measures.” Recently much controversy has centered around the question of whether or not the Nazi party has the right to express their freedom of speech in the form of a march on April 20 in Skokie, Illinois. Federal district judge Bernard Decker said yes they too must be given the freedom to express their feelings. His decision seems very liberal-minded indeed, but the fact is that a majority of Skokie’s populace survived the concentration camp era in Germany and need the like Buffalo needs a longer winter. Also what needs to be mentioned is that April 20 is Adolph Hitler’s birthday. And now we come to Buffalo. When one drives up Main Street towards UB, they can see painted on the Hertle Street railroad tracks the remnants of a profound KKK statement Nigs Suck. But that is not all that the KKK do in their spare time. They have instigated race riots at Riverside High School by handing out racist literature and have also shot Michael Johnson in the throat. Michael is an eighteen year old black man. Therefore, Fascism, whether it is in the form of a white hooded racist or a brown-shirted Nazi, must be confronted and stopped because it presents a “clear and present danger.” But it is not enough to rant and rage about the menace. We must act. Facism must be opposed wherever it raises its putrid form What must be done then is this: First we must organize to send people to Skokie in order to defend our beliefs and, more importantly, the people of Skokie; and second, we must begin to form a city-wide alliance to oppose the Buffalo KKK. During the week of March 6-10, there will be more information on where and who to get in touch with in order to carry out these tasks.

Why am I no longer ecstatic? I began to think about' 'What happens when my regular professor returns! The two instructors teach as differently as night and day, one is theoretical and abstract, while the other is a fact and date man. The entire continuity of the class has been disrupted. It is no longer just the problem of what to study, but from whose point of view should I emphasize. What was left out, and where does one begin and the other professor leave off. Other problems arise too. According to my class syllabus, I have a paper “due in March.” My regular instructor, even when pressed, did not elaborate as to when the paper is due, nor what this proposed paper is about. The ncwprofessor was given no information as to anything about it. I realize that there could be many a reason for any professor’s prolonged absence, but I’m equally ! sure that none, save death, are excusable. This course is a required one in the management department, so its knowledge must be of great importance. If this is the case, why didn’t the management department have the foresight not to schedule a course with an instructor who would be missing a large portion of the session? ■ And, finally, what of my classmates and I, do we receive a refund for the period that this instructor is out? He’s probably getting paid for it. '< Name withheld upon request Autocratic editors To the Editor. At the candidates’ forum in Porter Lounge on 2/27/78, much was said abdut your endorsements of certain candidates and the obvious monopoly you have on such statements. Most of the opinions that were airid by the students were negative toward your having the only say based on closed interviews. Several suggestions were made as to better ways to serve the University cpmmunity. John Reiss and Paulette Burczynski merely smirked. After the forum I oame up to them with the suggestion that the Interviews,-not your impressions, be printed. They had a good laugh at that and told me that if I wanted them published I could transcribe them myself. Besides wishing to air this idea to you, Brett, as well as to the University community, I would like to ask Managing Editor John Rdiss what the fuck he’s doing on the student paper if he isn’t willing to work for the student body? Having worked for The Spectrum for a month I have no trouble understanding why it must advertise for workers in the middle of the semester. I found my editors (I worked for Campus Editors) autocratic and narrowminded to style as well as content, and the general attitude of the editors to their staff, and especially to the students they are writing for (!), both elitist and arrogant. Again, in the name of Objective Reporting, I would like to suggest that you dedicate yourself to the once-in-a-year importance of student elections and put out the extra effort and pages necessary to cover the candidates to the fullest. If you people are really in favor of students getting active, you should provide them with the services they need to work intelligently but independently as individuals. Monday, Daniel J.

Wilmington Ten. field organizer for the CRJ, was dispatched to Wilmington to aid the boycotting students. The United Church of Christ confirmed it had invited Chavis because he had experience in volatile situations, and being a native of Oxford, North Carolina, he could ndt be cast as an outside agitator. Usi g the Gregory Church as headquarters, the boycotting students and supporters met nightly to plan strategy for subsequent demonstrations and negotiations with school and city officials. In 1971, white vigilantees began to ride past the church and shoot at it. In conjunction with the local KKK, ROWP led nightly attacks on the Gregory Church while students met inside. Rev. Templeton stated that “white night riders were circling the church and shooting at us.” Chavis later testified that he was unable to calm the situation which had already deteriorated at the time of his arrival. Chavis also maintained that the blacks inside the church were armed in self-defense. The charges against the Ten stem solely from the circumstances surrounding the burning down of a white-owned grocery located near the church one night. Witness attacks Chavis In April 1972, a probable cause hearing was held which revealed for the first time that a convict with a history of mental instability had been induced to testify against the Ten. At one point in the hearing, the prosecution’s key witness, Allan Hall, attempted to attack Rev. Chavis. This occurred while Defense Attorney Ferguson was cross-examining Hall about his activities during the 1971 racial conflicts. Caught in repeated contradictions, Hall became infuriated and burst from the witness chair in another attempt to attack Chavis. Despite this incident, probable cause was found. Upon motion by defense attorneys, the trial was moved , to an adjoining county. It began in June 1972, in- Burgaw, North Carolina (Pender County), and after a week of jury selection, ten blacks and two whites were accepted by the defense. The prosecutor then became unexplainedly ill, and the judge declared a mistrial. In September 1972, the second trial began before a jury of ten whites and two elderly blacks. The trial lasted seven weeks, with 42 witnesses taking the stand. Allan Hall, the prosecution’s key witness was again infuriated by the doubt of his credibility, and lunged forth at defense attorney Ferguson. All but one juror ran from the courtroom. The defense requested a psychiatric examination of Hall, which was denied. The judge admonished Ferguson for intimidating the witness. Soon after, the verdicts were handed down and the Ten were convicted. In December 1974, the North Carolina Court of Appeals upheld the convictions of each defendant.

During the past few months, over 90 percent of the nation’s businesses have been participating anti-g6vernment in an strike which has been endorsed by the church and most political parties. Time for a change The Somoza dictatorship could conceivably survive this internal opposition for a few more months or even years, but reports from Washington indicate that the Carter Administration has decided that the time has come for a change. If this change is in the cards, then Nicaragua’s wealthiest family may soon be living ,jn. Debayle seized an opportunity to bleed the 2.2 million Nicaraguans further by obtaining an interest in Plasmaferesis, a firm which buys plasma from poor Nicaraguans and sells it abroad at expensive rates. This, declared Pedro Joaquin Chamorro, owner of the daily newspaper La Prensa, is “an inhuman trade in the blood of Nicaraguans.” The next blood to flow was Chamorro’s. He was assassinated in January while riding through one of the many areas of Managua still lying in ruin from the earthquake. The death of Chamorro may have signalled the end of the Somoza dynasty. In addition to the country’s owning most prestigious newspaper, Chamarro headed UDEL, an opposition which coalition demanded amnesty for political prisoners and exiles, guarantees of political pluralism and, most importantly, the removal of all members of the Somoza family from the National Guard.

For the Somozas, the 197 2 earthquake which leveled the capital city of Managua was a boon, bringing in huge quantities of foreign relief.

This ploy has worked in the past, but the Carter Administration has apparently concluded that the benefits of keeping Somoza's brand of anti-Communism in power are outweighed by the costs to the assassins — — Nicaraguan people.

We won five of five overtime contests. We also made the playoffs, and yet we’re a young club,” he stated.

There were only two junior's on this year’s club with the rest of the squad being comprised of freshmen and sophomores. “We’re going to have to be more aggressive,” stated Wright. “This means we’re going to have to try to recruit some bigger individuals, especially for our defense.

But the next morning, UB was handed its second loss when beaten by Cornell 37-17, The victor’s quick thinking and passing proved to be too much for UB’s once reknowned defense. It’s a game that combines the quickness of basketball, the stamina of soccer, the strategy of football and the temperment of hockey. However, the motive is simple score. Two teams consisting of seven players line up on opposite ends of the field. The, game begins when the defensive team “throws off” the frisbee to the opposing team, much like a kick-off in football. - Pass don't rurt Usually the frisbee is tossed the entire' sixty yard length of the field or beyond into the opposing team’s end zone. After it is caught, that player is allowed to run just the few yards to his own goal line. After that, running with the frisbee is illegal, only passing is allowed. Any kinds of passes are allowed forward, backward, lateral, even upside down, as long as the frisbee doesn’t touch the ground. Defensively, the strategy is mostly one on one, harassing the thrower and covering the players in the end zone. Offensively, basketball style fakes, pivots, and passes are employed to get that - - frisbee into the end zone. But emotionally, It’s not equivalent to scoring in basketball, it’s more of a touchdown euphoria each time. Especially when the one point score has been made on a beautiful thirty-yard “floater” pass. Then a frisbee spike is.sure to follow. Win or lose, it’s an action packed game. Neither side will give in to defeat no matter what the invisible scoreboard reads. Instead, catch-pivot-fake-pass and score continue to be the name of the game throughout the two twenty-five minute halves. And when the pressure 1$ on to score, The Bubble suddenly transforms into a battlefield. It’s a beautiful, sometimes bloody war to watch. Beautiful when a pass is floating across the end zone and two players are vying t« catch or intercept it. Bloody perhaps sometimes because most anything goes in this game. Although body contact is disavowed, the phantom referee Is seldom around to make the call.

But to those who disdain “dope” and all that goes with it, head shops remain mystical enigmas, not to be discussed, much less patronized. The idea behind head shops and the products they sell has remained a nebulous area in the minds of many. Such drug related supermarkets around this University offer a myriad of eye-catching articles. Window — shopping Student victim of fatal dorm stabbing Daniel Cordero, a student at this University, was fatally stabbed yesterday afternoon in the hallway outside his 10th floor room in Richmond Quad in Ellicott on the Amherst Campus. A senior management major here, the 21-year-old Cordero was stabbed repeatedly in the chest, stomach, back and legs. He was pronounced dead at 5:06 p.m. at Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital. Domingo Rivera, 22, a student here and also an Ellicott resident, was taken into custody soon after the stabbing by University Police, Rivera was being held as a suspect in the case but no charges had been laid late Sunday night. Informed sources said that the motive was most likely personal and that the killing was not indiscriminate. University Police were informed of the stabbing at 3:35 p.m. yesterday. Shortly before that time, Rivera allegedly knocked on Cordero’s door and attacked him with a pair of scissors. Three students are being questioned as witnesses to the incident. Other students on the floor tried to intervene to no avail. One student administered first aid to Cordero as he lay in the hallway but was unsuccessful. The murder was the first ever recorded at this University since it became part of the State system in 1962 No records are available from before that time.

The accreditors also visited graduate and undergraduate classes where students were questioned on their knowledge of the philosophy and objectives of their respective - curricula. program. Closed forum year This marks a transformation in the curricula of undergraduate program. the Seniors are continuing in the “NLN accreditation is not manditory for operation of the School of Nursing,” said President of Nursing Studies, Dave Powell, “but is done on a voluntary basis. The reason for this is that most by grants educational the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) are given to accredited schools.” According to Editor of the School of Nursing’s newsletter Karen Werder, many theory oriented version curriculum offered a of the while juniors are more direct new, experience in clinical settings in a modular framework.

The results were then submitted to a Review Board in the main office of the NLN. “The representatives here that week were specifically on-sight observers,” said Powell. “Their job was to write up a report indicating the conditions they encountered. They didn’t give any judgements out. Their report was written along the guidelines of what they saw. The final decision is made by the Review Board of the NLN.” The School of Nursing should receive final results of the decision of the Board by the end of April. The last Pepartment was accredited in 1969 and given the maximum operational period of eight years. “Since the School of Nursing never has been denied accreditation,” said one student, “a more immediate benefit of the visit was giving students a chance to meet with the accreditors and Curriculum change Among the tops discussed at student meeting was the change recent curriculum the School, by instituted concentrating the three year program into two years. “The reason for the change,” said Nursing Dean Jeanette Spero, the “other than the fact that it facilitated a move by students from two year colleges into the is that students Department, continuous a more wanted exposure to the clinical setting.” Sperio has participated in a similar accreditation process at other schools. Although students indicated at the meeting that they were happy the with new “modular approach,” several they did discuss said, “According to my information, the grievances. students did Spero express the opinion that the faculty, being busy with curriculum revision, wasn’t as accessible as they would have liked.” The students pointed out that perhaps the numerous reading requirements and limited accessibility of those readings the difficulty new encountered with the curriculum. Some students desired an opportunity to fit more electives into their schedules while others voiced a concern with the heavy workload experienced with the new curriculum. Spero clarified the situation, saying, “Many of these courses have not been taught before. The faculty, in instructing and evaluating these new courses, aren’t teaching with the same degree of certainty as they would having taught these courses four or five years.” Most of the concern of the curriculum change was expressed by juniors in the Department, who indicated they felt shocked with the “newness” of the curriculum. “Being the first class the experience to new curriculum,” said Werder, “they had no previous feedback from upperclassmen on what they were to expect. A big sister program is being instituted to alleviate this problem in the future. At the meeting.

Page five . �EDITORIAL Power and responsibility So, approximately 2900 students have just picked the new Student Association (SA) officials who will represent close to 14,000 undergraduates. Some people take the SA elections very seriously; many more apparently don't give a damn about who wins and who loses, figuring that the outcome of a game played by aspiring politicians and lawyers has nothing to do with their personal lives and that the whole event is a silly drama. , Nothing could be farther from the truth, though the last four years have brought out approximately the same number of students to vote in each election. And in each of those last four years, a cry repeated by many went something like "Bring SA back to the students." This year, that task has been harder than ever because very simply, SA is where the students are not. The new SA officials, who take office on March 15, had best overcome the normal transition difficulties as quickly as possible and had best find something to excite students, something about which they can think seriously, something that will touch them personally and make them scream with anger or anticipate with laughter. It must be something less innocuous than a Spring Weekend (although now passed on the referendum, if properly organized it will be a truely positive happening) but No to consultants To the Editor Jay Rosen in his front page column, “Exile on Main Street,” made many interesting comments about student government. No student can disagree that the problem of apathy at this University eats away at the entire structure of student government I have long ago given up the dream of leading "the protect march. What I have not given up on is the future of students and student government. We peed competent student leaders. We need people who will learn from past mistakes. We need leaders who will continue the good programs and disband the bad. What the Student Association needs is real input from the majority of the student body. How do we get all this? I’m not quite sure. For the last three years I have tried in every way possible. This University dqes not wake up to issues often. It seems to be getting worse Mr Rosen definitely outlined the problems very well. Where 1 feel he made his mistake is in his solution. The answer is not to hand over Student Government to consultsnts. Because anyone can see that the result will be just “Government,”. Students will lose what little policy-making decisions they have now. Jay Rosen claims that students will always control because they hire and fire. I feel that this isn’t To the Editor I would like to respond to The Spectrum's endorsement retraction which appeared in last Wednesday’s paper.

I regret the fact that I wasn’t able to respond sooner, but The Spectrum has just this year instituted a policy of no editorials by or on the behalf of candidates who are running for SA positions during the elections.

These consultants will, after a few years, know so much that they will be entrenched in their positions. Who could fire them then? They will control us, not the other way around. Mr. Rosen claims that through polls these consultants will bring SA to students. SA has taken so many polls in the last few years that we could go into the business. The only people that can accurately determine what students whnt, is students. Opinion polls at this University are pretty easy to determine. Students want a lot of activities and no hassles. The problem is delivering the goods SA uses lawyers, accountants and other professionals in their day to day activity. We use them when we have to. It costs a lot of money to keep a lawyer on retainer, however, it is necessary in many instances such as in the Record Co-op and Group Legal The Party has more to learn than the average incoming regime.

The new administration, mostly members of the rather intriguing The Party are really not the usual hacks-cloned-from-hacks. They have very little knowledge of SA, other than what they book-teamed in the two weeks before the election. They do, not have any first hand theories about the failings of this year’s SA.

What this all means is that — breed? I nominate the following Foxes, three-toed tree sloths, and wild boars. Select your favorite. The campaign was not without its more amusing moments. One rather disappointed candidate said positively that the Ketter Administration dictated to us which people to support. The same candidate also charged that our selections were based primarily on racial prejudice. 1 suppose that means Ketter is a latent racist. If that’s true, something’s gotta be done. Next year, I assure you, we will not follow Ketter’s orders so strictly. He’ll play strictly an advisory role. I must say, though, that I am encouraged by the new people. I have long felt that experience in SA is not as important as intelligence, creative thinking, even temperment and the ability to accept differing points of view.

Efforts by SUNY Vice Chancellor for Faculty and Staff Relations Jerome Komisar and Gibson to deny NYEA access to this campus are based on Office of Employee Relations (OER) guidelines issued in 1975, which prescribe a 90-day for campaign period organizational activities, beginning, in this case, May 1. NYEA officials claim that the 90-day campaign period is an unreasonable NYEA coordinator James Schmatz said, "We will find no one here during the campaign period which is scheduled from May through July. At that time, teachers won’t even be interested.” The NYEA has filed for litigation in court to be allowed to campaign prior to the May 1 date. Because of the lengthy court procedure, the NYEA does not expect a decision until this summer. In the meantime, NYEA officials will disregard the OER ruling and will- pursue any legal means necessary to remain on campus, according to Schmatz. He said, “To be ushered off is unreasonable. There are no laws saying we can’t be here and we will stay until we're ordered by court to leave.” NYEA Field Representative Melinda Frazier cited specific instances in which NYEA officials were escorted off the campus by University Police. “Last Monday, one of our representatives was removed from the Amherst Campus by five security guards. We were also asked to leave Lea Campus and were threatened to be escorted by security if we didn’t,” Frazier said. She added that Buffalo State College officials were even more oppressive and have “literally chased NYEA representatives off the campus.” NYEA officials believe they have a NYEA representatives James Schmatz Looking to win the and Melinda Frazier and professionals. —Jenson trust of SUN Y faculty legitimate reason to be campaigning at this time. Said Frazier, “We’ve been talking with faculty here but we are not invading anyone’s privacy. Officers of the UUP have been forcing us off the campus and we feel they functiorling beyond their are authority. Faculty disillusionment Schmatz and Frazier have found a general disillusionment with the UUP among faculty members at this campus. Of the 16,000 SUNY faculty members, only 4500 belong to the UUP. The Agency Shop Law passed by the State Legislature last year forces more than 11,000 non-UUP members to pay approximately $1.7 million in dues. “There is tremendous resentment of the UUP for picking up dues from the almost 75 percent of the faculty who aren’t members,” said Schmatz. The NYEA does not oppose the Agency Shop Law, but will not implement it if 50 percent of the SUNY faculty members do not join. The NYEA is also calling for decentralization and specialization of contracts for the SUNY system and the preservation of a strong faculty Senate using collective bargaining as a tool. In a newsletter distributed to SUNY campuses, NYEA President Edwin Robisch said the goals of the campaign were “To win the trust of SUNY faculty and professionals and to offer them a clear alternative.” If the NYEA is able to collect the 5,000 signatures necessary to warrant an election, the pledge cards will be filed with the Public Employment Relations Board and an election date will be set. Michael Harrington makes a plea for socialism by Bradshaw Hovey Spectrum Staff Writer “America is the only society in you discuss which can’t socialism,” declared author of Poverty America, Michael in Harrington, but he did just that upon making a plea for an end to “corporate control of the investment process,” at Daeman College Thursday night. Harrington’s book, which John F. sparked President Kennedy’s.“War on Poverty,” told his audience that “as long as we allow social decisions to be made privately,” working people and the poor will continue to suffer from the “roller coaster ride of boom and bust” corporate efforts to against people.” and from “play, people The “hemorrhage of jobs from the Northeast,” Harrington explained, is happening' because Due to a typographical error, The Spectrum omitted the fact that beer will be served on Friday.

Carter is not worried about what the socialists are going to do in I 980.” Harrington admits that DSOC, with a membership of under 3,000, is an “infinitesimal” organization. But he feels that after years of bickering and after “having the daylights kicked out of them, American left people are working together.” By letting “a hundred flowers bloom," and by encouraging a wide variety of socialist activities and organizations, Harrington feels we can achieve “what we’re going for to build a movement.” The focus of the DSOC’s efforts will be the Democratic Party Harrington continued, “foi reasons of American history, the overwhelming bulk of sc dally conscious working people are d — “That should be obvious,” he claimed. “If those two programs were implemented,” he said, “the immediate financial crisis of New York City would be 90 percent solved.” Harrington also noted that the United States is the only industrialized nation in the world without national a health program. Wrong debate Harrington also proposed the idea of a new federal corporate act which chartering would require corporations to have both public and employee members on their Boards of Directors. Such an act would make a charter an “agreement between corporation and the society.” Currently, corporations are chartered by individual states. Harrington said that he hoped the presence of public and employee members of corporate Boards of Directors would lead to routine violations of corporate secrecy. ‘‘Corporate decision-making procedure should be transparent and open to public scrutiny,” he said. “We have been having the wrong debate,” in America, said Harrington in summary. The question is “not whether we are going to economic decide questions politically, but who is going to decide.” Medical budget correction All those interested in living in International College go where money can make more money.” He was referring to predominantly non-unionized states in the South and Southwest. “New York has too many well-paid workers,” he said, to suit business, so they head South.

Thus, approximately one 48th of the total increase to Medical Schools statewide will go to SUNY Buffalo’s Medical School The implication that the Med School here will operate on one 48th the total operating budget for the four medical centers was false.

Page seven �Origin of women’s oppression complex question by Elena Cacavas ContributingEditor - In a lecture entitled “The Origips of Women’s Oppression” Elisabeth Kennedy, an associate professor of American Studies and a founding member of Women’s Studies College, examined whether women have always been oppressed, and the predominant theories of the origins ofoppression. In explaining the origins of oppression, Kennedy relied on three prominent schools of reason. She first referred to what she called a “dominant ideology" which states that women are naturally inferior. Emphasising that this assumes women have always been oppressed, she states “If this were the case there would be no reason to consider the question.” Secondly, she said that feminists have to gauge the extent of oppression so as not to make it seem too remote. The third school of thought dealt with Marxist ideology and the conclusion that the writings of Engel are in no need of updating. Terming this “outrageous,” Kennedy theorized that since the time of Engels considerable new data has been gathered. “Now, we are prepared to confront biases,” she said. Kennedy expressed the belief that feminists are “dragging their feet” on the origins question. She pointed out that besides satisfying a general intellectual interest, the debate was pertinent to some contemporary situations. She said rape crisis groups must deal with the question: Is it natural for men to control their aggressions? To feminists, the debate can perhaps indicate whether theyare “pushing too far when seeking the right to choose.” ' ‘ Invented? stated Kennedy. Eventually however, fur trade ended communal activity not only placing men in competition, but also replacing women’s occupations such as making ; the key theory of the origins df male dominance was disputed by the lecturuer. “The explanation relates to the concept of hunting by the lecturer. “The explanation related to the concept of hunting shown that hording followed agricultue which was invented by women.” shown that herding followed agriculture which was invented by women.” The three major theories of the origins of oppression have “The first possibility concludes that oppression pevcr existed,” said Kennedy. “The early hunting, gathering and horticultural societies were egalitarian.” In support of this she cited “the most prolific” works of anthropologist E. Leacock and her study of primitive communism. Leacock established that the .household was communal and division of labor reciprocal. ‘There existed no public world of men’s work and no private world of women’s work," ~ clothes, etc. Kennedy termed Leacock’s interpretation “accurate” pointing out that the anthropologist’s justification of her argument was based on the fact that without a concentration of material power, there can be no hierarchical relationships. Re-evaluation In mentioning other writers and discoveries that support the theory of “no oppression,” Kennedy was sure to notify the audience that problems exist within the arguments. “There is a tremendous amount of work to re-evaluate,” she said while pointing out that, “Most people lump a Urge range of society into the primitive category and assume them classless.” She added that all cultures are studied in the context of this century and thus distorted, while data gathered has been collected with a oppression. Acording to Kennedy however, “Followers-in this area haven’t done any first-hand research. They have rather relied on sources with dogmas of women’s inferiority to men.” Kennedy felt that unclear data led to three so distinctly different positions. ‘The possibilities all have to be worked together and considered as parts of an argument,” she said. ■ Debates as to the actual origins of oppression are sustained by three theories. The first, to which Kennedy pays Bttle attention, states that the reason for oppression rests within a biological sphere such as childbearing. The lecturer said, “It requires a tremendous constancy in history” and thus did not View it as the most productive approach. * Sexual kinship Another theory reduces women’s oppression to the economics of the rise of private property. Subjugation resulted from a material dependency of women. Again male bias. The second thrust of oppression debate centers Kennedy warned of problems within this reasoning, approach realize much research around the matriarchies of society. Kennedy calls this stating, “All who take this needs to be done.” of this theory must face the Advocates reasoning the “most controversial.” She cites the work of how Ruby Levitt which states that Crete was a matriarchy. criticism that no explanation is really given as to That argument maintains the women became subordinate. Levitt based her conclusion on the frescos found on the hypothesis that women were subordinate before the rise of, island. "Levitt believes,” said Kennedy, “that women of private why then did they not take property for if not Crete had higher political positions than men, and supports this by explaining that women were painted in the control? The final debate hypothesizes a system of sexual forground, while men were represented in stylized form in the background.” Despite Levitt’s conclusion that this relations in which sex is viewed in a social and historial represents a matriarchy, Kennedy views it as more of a category analysizing kinship relations. Of this theory hierarchy and defines the author’s position as “extreme.” Kennedy saw the need to first look at sexual relationships She said, “Frescos also have pictures of women goddesses in themselves and then elaborate. Concluding her lecture on the origins of oppression with rams-symbols of male virility. Are we then to assume men were sexual objects?” Kennedy called again for a Kennedy restated her belief that feminists have just begun to approach the question. ‘The divergent theories seem to re-exmaination of the data. indicate confusion and complexity. The research is not adequate and should not be treated as a body of First hand The final possibility states that there always has been established fact,” she said. - - Crisis counselors training now You can help people with problems in living by training as a phone crisis counselor. 24-Hour»-a-day, Crisis Services counsels families in distress, victims of rape and sexual assault, the suicidal depressed, and persons with life crises.

This was the first national title ever for UB in any sport. Four hundred WHEATON, Countless times during the past four years, UB basketball fans have watched number 21 streak down court to score yet another layup for the Royals. But, it is a scene that will be seen cheered no longer, for Regina Frazier has scored her last point for Buffalo. The talented little guard from Albany closed out a brilliant career here Tuesday night with a ' career high 38 points against D’Youville College. The point total, a new Buffalo single game record, would have meant much more to Frazier had it been against a higher caliber team. But, she admitted, “It’s a nice way to out.” began playing Frazier basketball at about nine years of age when her younger brother taught her the basics. “I had to keep an eye on him anyway to make sure he stayed out of trouble,” she said. Later on, she played on the girls’ teams in school and high junior high The Royals’ co-captain feels she’s matured as a ballplayer since her early days. “1 used to consider basketball an individual sport. But, it’s not that. It’s five people out there with all different kinds of talents blending together.” Big Four wins Early in the season, Regina thought she should lead the team in scoring, before she realized that qfae could be more valuable to the team as the point guard. Some trouble with her outside shooting this year made her more aware of how important the other areas of the game are. “My defense was good; I just wish my offense had been just as good,” she said. Frazier looks back on a home game against Canisius this season as a personal highlight. In that game, she picked up a loose ball and raced the length of the court to score the winning bucket. A fine free throw shooter, she had a streak of 16 consecutive foul shots during the year. The biggest tvin for the team, she said, during her four years here was at the first Big Four Championship in 1975, when Buffalo demolished Buffalo State for the Championship. During her career, Regina said she sometimes got too cautious on steal attempts after the referees inadvertently penalized her for a clean swipe. “One game I got three fouls trying to steal the ball. It stops you from playing like you can play.” Like many others, Frazier is less than pleased with Clark Hall. “You’re more involved with the people in the stands than the game because you’re so close,” she said. “It’s uncomfortable.” That’s just one of the reasons she finds road trips more enjoyable than home games. Listening to music, watching television and playing chess are some of the ways that Regina —Doynow END OF AN ERA: Royals' guard Regina Frazier dosed out a stellar career Tuesday night. spends her free time. She likes classical music and jazz among others. Two of her favorites are Duke and Ronnie Ellington Liston. Regina also enjoys watching boxing, tennis, track and field and of course, basketball. But she nearly joined another varsity team. “I started to go out for the volleyball team,” she said, “but I recalled that one of the girls that tried out couldn’t make it because she was too short. That turned me off right there.” Friendly teammates A member of the committee that chose the new name for the the Regina approved monicker ‘Royals’ immediately. Other top candidates included ‘Bells’ and ‘Pioneers’. The more be Six Bulls earned Division III All-America status by finishing in the top six in their weight classes, although none won a national title. Leading the way for Buffalo were Mike Jacoutot (second), Kirk Anderson (third), Paul Curka (third), Dave Mitchell (fourth), Jeff Wheeler (fourth) and Bruce Hadsell (fifth). Jacoutot, the freshman from New Jersey, beat second seeded the in Helmuth Craig quarter-finals and then topped Millersville’s John Little in the semis. He trailed Mike Rossetti of Trenton 4—2 in the final round when Rossetti injured his right 126 knee. The top-seeded nearly three took pounder minutes to rest the injury while Jacoutot waited. “1 thought I had him going, but I lost momentum when he took the injury time,” Jacoutot said. With the crowd cheering wildly, the well-rested Rossetti took a 12-5 decision. “For me, it’s only the beginning,” Jacoutot said team, typical nicknames didn’t interest her. “I didn’t want it to be an animal,” she said. A psychology major, Regina will have to wait until the Fall to graduate, she changed her major from physical therapy only last year. She would like to try coaching sometime in her life. described her Regina relationship with her teammates warmly. They presented her with rose after the D’Youville game. “We’re almost like a family,” she said. “They helped me a lot; I learned a lot of things playing on a this team this year, and by playing point guard, 1 felt like 1 was helping them out too,” Regina hopes that a lot of women will go out for the team next year. Eligibility problems have plagued the Royals all year. “They might just go undefeated if they play ball,” she said. “Playing with the rest of them this year showed me that 1 can play ball,” she said. “I’m sorry it had to be the last year.” Badminton tourney There’ll one wrestlers, representing over 90 schools competed in the tourney with thirteen wrestlers qualifying for the Division I nationals in Maryland.

Francis Presley in the finals, but will go to Maryland as a wildcard selection. Anderson, who had pinned three of his first four opponents, came back to beat Mike Sickles 9—0 and Doug Burton 11 —4 in the consolation bracket.

No. 62 Pfl2 Food Coop and UCARE protest Radioactive transfer blocked by Robert Basil Staff Writer Spectrum The internal transfer of fifteen radioactive fuel rods to a temporary storage tank within the campus Nuclear Reactor has been blocked by two groups who question the safety of the shift. The North Buffalo Food Coop and the University Community Concerned About the Reactor (UCARE) an ad hoc committee of students and faculty filed petitions with the Federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) alleging unsafe procedures in the operation of the reactor. The Nuclear facility was shut down October 7 to repair a year and a half old leak in the water cooling — - system. Reactor officials sought temporarily move the materials to so that the leak could be repaired. Opponents claim that the storage tank has not been properly designed or instrumented. The groups cited the alleged dropping of the spent fuel rods through a puncture in the floor and possible complications with the level of cooling water in the tank. T UCARE and the Food Coop thwarted the shift of the rods by f’fWnfthe ■- petitions with the NRC. Reactor officials abandoned the transfer idea since the hearings called for in the petitions would have stretched past the scheduled removal of the radioactive rods. The October leak involved a flow of 500 gallons of water per day, carrying radiation alleged to be 277 times the level allowed by the NRC. Nearby sewers carrying the water diluted the radioactive level to one tenth the safe mark. No level safe Resnikoff, Martin physics professor and former current lecturer in Rachel Carson College, is currently involved in the and petitioning process has the consistently questioned overall safety of the Reactor. environment Resnikoff said there is no “lower threshhold” for amounts of radioactivity the human body can absorb. Any amount of radiation may cause genetic defects, he products since the Reactor is only claimed. Beth Phillips, a spokesman for UCARE doesn’t consider “any level of radioactivity safe.” She was also concerned that the plexiglass cover to the storage tank might be “bumped off.” The director of the Reactor facility, Charles Thomas, termed the concerns of UCARE and Resnikoff a “no-win situation not even worth talking about.” In fact, a tour of the facility revealed — that the top of the storage tank is nine feet off the floor, making feared Phillips’ accidental of the displacement covers virtually impossible.- In addition, Thomas described the tank as “well instrumented,” and said that even if the cooling water evaporates the air totally, it would act as a coolant. He also noted that the fuel-elements are carefully lowered into the tank by steel cables. surrounding satisfactory Move cancelled The materials are currently waiting for a special shipping cask, the only one in the world licensed to transport radioactive wastes of the the produced by type Reactor, to take them to the Federal Department of Energy’s reprocessing plant in Idaho Falls, Idaho. The Coop’s petition, in part, reads, “(We) believe that (we) have a responsibility to protect and safety health, the of our members, customers, and the citizens of Buffalo.” Lenny Skrill, the Coop’s coordinator, believes that a Reactor leak could affect its third of a mile away. Thomas commented that the Coop has no basis for concern. “Even if we did have a leak,” he said, “the wind blows in the wrong direction to transport radiocative particles there.” a Nuclear medicine The NSTF brings in $200,000 and by generating year a processing radioisotopes.

The rest goes to industrial users such as Kodak and Westinghouse, as well as to the Navy for seawater chemistry research. Resnikoff said that the NSTF’s share of this University’s budget is $100,000. He also suggested that the repair of the pipes would amount to $43,000. He was not aware of the readioisotopes produced by the Reactor and their uses. •_ Resnikoff believes that information regarding the Reactor has not been bisseminated to the students here. “There should be more campus discussion over whether there should be a reactor here at all,” he said. Last year, over two hundred students used the Reactor, either for research or for classes. Due to two its shutdown, Nuclear Engineering classes have been cancelled and some lab work has been curtailed. In addition, the projects research the using radioisotopes NSTF-produced been inconvenienced. have —Malllck Thomas said that if the Reactor were shut down permanently, the Nuclear Engineering Program here would be finished. Although the Reactor here does not produce radioisotopes for the Department of Nuclear Medicine, Chairman Monte Blau expressed concern over other reactor shutdowns across the nation. Blau feels that the Federal _ government would be all in allowing irresponsible reactors to shut down, a move which would destroy nuclear medicine, medicine. In radioisotopes are used to trace diseases in the heart, liver and brain. Once the wastes in the reactor building are finally removed, the water in the primary cooling duct will be drained and the leaking pipe will be sealed off. The new piping route, said Thomas, will not be buried and will be completely accessible if repair work is needed in the future. Task Force considered Bunn will address students onfour course load by John H. Reiss Managing Editor In an effort to demonstrate that the University Administration is not “hell bent” on implementing the three credit for three classroom hour policy as an academic base here, Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn said Wednesday that he would address the Student Senate on March 14 concerning the matter. It is assumed that Bunn will announce the creation of a Task the “spirit” of the Spring Report, Force or committee that will be but questioned the feasability of charged with determining the implementing it at present. Hence, feasability of implementing the he said, the Administration Faculty Senate’s Springer Report, wished to put to rest rumors that which recommends a shift away it was determined to institute the from the four course load.

That, according to Delia, Delia said that University will be decided by Bunn on March President Robert Ketter endorsed 8. Faculty Senate Chairman Jonathan Richert was fingered as the force most responsible for shunting student input. Hence, the creation of the Task Force is seen by student leaders as a major gain for their side. Delia called it “the greatest victory of my administration,” and stressed that it had been achieved by working through the system and not with demonstrations. Burden on Task Force Delia views the Task Force as a vehicle for students to air their beliefs that the institution of the —Jtnton Ronald Bunn, is Springer Report totally Vice Presidentfor Academic Affairs unfeasable at this time. “If we can The inclusion of students on prove all our contentions,” Delia the crucial Task Force comes in said, “then the report will not be response to widespread student implemented. This is our criticism that the Faculty Senate opportunity to show that it can’t ramrodded its Report past be done. This means we can win. students without regard to their We just have to prove what we’ve protests or recommendations. been saying.” What students have been saying is that regardless of the possible academic merits of the Springer Report, the institution of its three hours credit/three recommendation at this time is impractical. They point most often to the critical lack of classroom space at this University caused the halt by in construction. The split between campuses, generally considered to be the most severe problem here, can only be worsened, they say, by the increased number of courses that students will be forced to attend. Further, the University is currently $250,000 short in its funds for busing, yet even more buses will have to be rented if the Report is instituted. “Now the burden is on the Task Force,” Delia said. “If we don’t win, we deserve what we’re getting. If we do win, we should keep the four course load.” �The quality of the Buffalo education by Jay Rosen Managing Editor Ondergraduate education here has simmered on the back burner for many years while the University attempted to bring graduate and professional prgrams to a full boil. Although the drive to develop SUNY Buffalo into a preeminent graduate center will clearly extend in the 1980s, a genuine concern for the neglected undergrad program is now taking hold in many areas of the University. It is widely felt that the Undergraduate program here because of its loose “distribution” requirements and strong emphasis on a has become incoherent, directionless and particular major counterproductive in forging a sense of academic community among students. The feeling is that SUNY Buffalo is increasingly churning out students who have limited exposure to, or appreciation for any school of thought other than their academic major. The pendulum of undergraduate education has swung too far toward vocational traning, long on specialized leaving students intellectually imbalanced knowledge and technically oriented thinking, short on traditional academic skills and familiarity with a wide range of disciplines. Born of of these fears is a move at this University toward “General Education.” What is it? In some ways it is the antithesis of Specialization. A group of concerned faculty members who held several day-long retreats on the subject f&lt that General Education ought to encourage four things: the capacity for critical thought, a body of general or “common” knowledge, the introduction to the actual activities of faculty in a wide range of disciplines, and the personal use of the creative arts. - - no exceptions.

Conceptualizing General Education and making it work lie on opposite banks of the river. The bridge between the two is currently in the “committee” stage, but make no mistakes the undergraduate program at this University will change and change significantly. A standing committee of the Faculty Senate has been empowered to develop a program in General Education. While the originally stated goal of having an implementable plan by the fall of 1979 is by no means assured, it appears that within two years', some program will be readied. ■%*' *;'■ Before attacking the question of what General Education will mean to students, its effect on the faculty ought to be examined. Because of budget cuts and other more nebulous divisive forces, the reducing interaction between departments faculty here has splintered and ripping apart any community of scholars which may have existed.

He believes that the student body must be farsighted enough to recognize that the Amherst Campus will be the center of libraries, classrooms and social life by September 1978. “We will cripple the ability of these organizations to provide for the majority of students unless we plan ahead,” the outgoing SA President stressed. “Now is the time to move and we can no longer ignore the fact that the Amherst Campus will be the new spine.” The Local Board of Directors Chairperson of NYP1RG, Lewis Rose, agreed with Delia that establishing a The forum, moderated by Scott Lester, who organized the debate ran smoothly until it became apparent to the 125 onlookers that muckraking was the only purpose behind many of the questions and replies.

SA candidates for President, Executive Vice President and Vice President for Sub-Board spoke and were followed by an extensive question and answer session. Calling the need for a Student Center on the Amherst Campus “acute and essential,” Student Association (SA) President Dennis Delia has asked President Robert Ketter to designate the entire 1978. Delia said the move to Talbert on the Amherst Campus was absolutely .essential for the maintenance of student activities and services at the level demanded by a University of this size and stature Because the Undergraduate libraries will be relocated on the Amherst Campus this summer, Deha, said Task Spectrum Spectrum The first speaker was Epic Presidential candidate Bob Sinkewicz, who cited his experience as a favorable attribute in his candidacy. He said “Students have lost contact with student government,” and that he intended to return it to them. Sinkewicz called for alternative food plans, a new campus literary magazine, the opening of the Undergraduate Library for 24 hours a day and student unionization. Robert Daniels of the JFK was next at the podium. He outlined two of the major goals of his administration: concentration in academics have 3.1 and 3,2 averages cannot get into a department 9 He claimed have 3.1 and 3.2 averages cannot get into a department.” He claimed that “Athletic department activities should be expanded and students should not be forced to pay for equipment that is our " own Richard Mott's brief speech urged all students to would not be taken seriously unless he had substantial support" vote because “a candidate Needed change Turner Robinson, tpic Party candidate for Executive Vice President, said that student government should be more representative and-that his valuable experience in SA would make that possible Finally, Robinson claimed that “things need to change.” The Party candidate for Executive Vice President Karl Schwartz, prefaced his comments by bringing up The Spectrum endorsements which have generated considerable controversy in the elections. Schwartz believed the only reason he received the endorsement was because “I am the best qualified for the job.” He drew a loud applause when he commented, “If 1 am elected, 1 will fight hard to allow every student organization the right to endorse.” Schwartz concluded by discussing the “Diminished importance of the Student Senate and Executive Vice President hopeful Mike Niman dealt primarily with apathy, saying that “you can do nothing with an apathetic student base.” Said Niman, “We are treated like sub-humans and we must make waves, tidal waves.” Independent Paul Friedman began his statement with a list of thirteen “demands” for the University. These included open admissions, free tuition, a return of classes to Main Street and a halt to racist University policies. Friedman termed the University “a factory the only way for students to be heard is a to be threat to the University’s power.” The candidates for Vice President for Sub-Board were allowed a brief two-minute statement. Allen Clifford acknowledged that troubles exist in the present organization and that the use of the computer would help ease many of the difficulties. — Experience plays a part Jane Baum admitted to not knowing as much as she will when she takes office. “What is different is that I have new ideas." she said. She was incensed at the idea of having non-students in stipended positions, describing it as “disgraceful." Stephanie Freund also criticized The Spectrum endorsement by blaming the paper for “omitting qualifications." She said, “experience plays a great part in choosing a candidate.” Her ideas included the establishment of a Sub-Board Travel Service, the acquisition of a liquor license for Sub-Board and improving the effectiveness of University Union Activity Board. The debate session began with a question to Mott concerning his views on procuring construction funds and whether he plans to approach the gubernatorial candidates for promises prior to the election. Mott responded by calling for a coalition of students, administrators and public officials. “Albany is not set to respond to just students," Mott said, “but they will answer to 100.000 Western New Yorkers. These people care about the building of this campus." The other presidential and vice-presidential candidates agreed on the importance of const ruction and felt that strong student effort could be used effectively to put pressure on Albany. Sinkewicz was questioned about his plans to lobby for funds to keep the libraries open 24 hours. Sinkewicz felt it could be done by having President Ketter allocate additional funds and reassign present funding. Implementable ideas Baum, when questioned on what she plans to do for Sub-Board, replied, “Sub-Board needs a —continued on page 6— Stipended Positions Available: t PRESIDENT V.P.

His writings can be taken at face value or broken down and analyzed.” Yes, but who is Jack Kerouac and why is he so important? First the Who. Jack Kerouac was born dean-Louis Kerouac in the town of Lowell, Massachusetts in 1922. His parents were French-Canadian immigrants and strict Catholics. He left Lowell in the late 1930’s to attend Horace Mann Prep School in New York City on a football scholarship. After Horace Mann, he went to Columbia University, where he Allen became friends with Ginsberg. At the West End Bar, across the street from Columbia, •' Kerouac met William Burroughs who was working as a bartender. Burroughs added another “facet” exploration and Ginsberg’s stimulating their of more progressive Kerouac education by to authors. Kerouac left Columbia after one year because he couldn’t play football due to an injury. He worked as a merchant seaman and at several other jobs until 1950 when his first novel, The Town and the City, was published. After that, he published many more works; On the Road becoming the best known. Kerouac died in 1969 from what was probably cirrhosis of the liver. Frenetic penniless jaunts And now the Why. Well, Jack Kerouac was one, if not the, leader of the “beat” movement of the late 1950’s and early ’60’s;he gave the movement its name. Ginsberg, “Kerouac, and Burroughs were the “beats” — fAJLt-L 'j&M out Vwtcn -*sS .. i ■ v: Page four The Spectrum Friday 3 March 1978 . . , «x.Wfr their were the followers “beatniks,” expressed Basinski, In industry public literature, the beat movement advocated a loosely constructed, spontaneous style of writing that broke with other authors of the period. Kerouac inherited the flowing style from a man named Neal (of Merry Prankster Cassady fame) and his first and most famous attempt at this style was On the Road. Basinski calls the book “a celebration of America.” The Encyclopedia Brittanica calls it, “a formless book that deals with a number of frenetic jaunts back and forth across the country, made by a number of penniless young people who are in love with life, beauty, jazz, sex, drugs, speed, and mysticism, but have absolute contempt for alarm clocks, timetables, road maps, mortgages, pensions, and all traditional American rewards for subterranean . . The book alerted the to a widespread culture of kindred poets, folksingers, spirits hipsters, mystics, and eccentrics that Kerouac had met in his - travels.” Kerouac had a self-philosophy that BAsinski described as “a mix of Buddhism and hoboism.” He was searching for the freedom of an inner-peace and wanted to get away from materialism. He had a of a “Rucksack vision Revolution” a kind of - anti-materialist flight back to nature and natural living which was manifested in the late 1960’s. Whether as culture hero, or religious author, teacher, interest in Jack Kerouac continues to grow in France, Switzerland, Australia, and all over the world.

The976 program concentrated on “Women’s Work” both in the house and the community while “Women’s Resistance” was the theme for 1977. Program possibilities for this year were “Violence Against Women,” “Beyond The ERA,” and the chosen “Women’s Right to Choose.” One of the outstanding issues of this year’s program centers on reproductive freedom. Specific categories within this scope are the recent cutbacks in Medicaid funded abortions, the forced sterilization of poor and Third World Women, the right of all women to choose whether to have children and the economic means to raise them, and the right of women to keep their children. Mott was questioned about the formation of an advocacy committee. Commented Mott, “For the first year, the SA lawyer will be our advisor. Since SA pays the lawyer, this will be our system of checks and balances.” Mott also gave full support for the idea of a new student paper, but said he has no specific plans for one. As the forum drew to a close, the sincerity of candidates Schwartz and Mott was questioned Schwartz, as a spokesman for The Party, took personal offense to these inquiries. “I am not in this for ego gratification,” he said. “The present SA is at best inept and all of us involved in The Party are honestly concerned with changing SA.” S.A. Speakers Bureau IRC present Abortion controversy According to a co-coordinator of the International Women’s Day Coalition, Debe Gnann, the impact .of the Hyde Amendment on the above considerations will be discussed. “The Hyde Amendment,” she explained, “is a bill passed by Congress in December of 197-7. It cuts -back Medicaid funded abortions.” Gnann emphasized that while the Amendment appears to affect only women on Medicaid, it is a “clear example of the rights gained by women which are now being taken vO°^ away.” A brochure distributed by the Coalition refers to the Amendment as “a serious attack on control of our lives as women.” It explains that while federal funds have been cut back for abortion, there is a steady rise of forced sterilization of poor and Third World women for which funding has increased. The international Women’s Day Coalition is a community group with diversified support. Included in the Coalition are six women from the University’s Women’s Studies College, members of the National Lawyer’s Guild, the Buffalo COop Council, various other city groups, and independent progressive women. Alan Zweibel, U.B. Grad FREE TO ALL in Fillmore 170 MARCH 4th Saturday Night University community Gnann recognized the importance of women’s studies being extended into the community, noting that the College has done work there for four years. “While the College is based in the University, it’s very strong in the community.” She felt that students involved with the women’s movement now will in four years or less become a part of WfWtt»(iBity. A member of the Coalition, Susan Biller, suggested that there are definite differences between operating within the community and operating within the University. She said, “Being in the community yields an entirely different perspective than can be gotten through the college. It also involves a very different constituency of followers.” t Community celebration Gnann pointed out that the Coalition’s events of March 4 are a community celebration. Included in the program are speeches, information tables, a luncheon, and a march from Lafayette Square downtown. She said that the coordinators of the program tried to plan the day so as to encourage a wide range of support from the community? “It is believed,” she said, “that the march would give people a chance to get out and show their support publicly.” Another reason for trying to attract new faces is because a major criticism of past programs has been that those groups which organized the events, were generally the ones to participate in them. The Coalition is emphasizing that International Women’s Day is a women’s holiday through which all women can be educated on current issues and future inteerests. The Coalition’s events on March 4, in celebration of International Women’s Day, were planned in recognition of women’s past and ongoing struggles.

April 20th BONNIE RAITT SHEA S BUFFALO THEA TER Tickets $7, $6, & SUNY application hurts enrollment by Gary Gutenstein Spectrum Staff Writer A ten percent decline in freshman applications here is part of a three and a half percent overall drop in applications to SUNY schools. The SUNY-wide decline can be attributed to three major factors, according to Assistant Vice Chancellor Norman Hostetler. He attributed the largest decline to the common application procedure and late submittal of applications by students. For the past few years students have been able to apply to as many as four schools using just one application with a fee of five dollars per school. This year the fee was raised to nine dollars per school resulting in a substantial drop in the number of multiple school applications. The overall number of applications therefore declined, Hostetler claimed. Another factor contributing to the decline is a rising negligence of students to apply early. “Students don't feel the need to submit their applications as early as they have been in previous years. Guidance counselors just aren’t pushing as hard for November-December applications as they had been,” commented Hostetler. The late availability of financial aid forms may also have contributed to the belated filing. “Students did not receive them until December and they couldn't be submitted until January 1, so they didn’t apply until then either,” said Hostetler. Assistant Director for Admissions at this University Jonathan Shellum, attributed the decline in this region to the weather as well as to economic downfalls. “A lot of students come to us from downslate. After last year’s blizzard they see us as an artic wasteland. We are 7 2 months, unlimited Second Class train travel, 15 countries, $250. Check it out.

April 21 Tickets $7.00 presently trying to combat this problem by stepping up our promotional programs at high schools,” he said. There has also been a great increase in unemployment in the Western New York area. “Some people just can’t afford to attend school anymore,” he said. “There hasn’t been a decline of applications for a specific quality of student,” Shellum continued, “rather it has been an across the board decline.” The other three SUNY universities have felt a decline in freshman applicants. Binghamton had the lowest decline with only a five percent drop, Albany experienced a six to eight percent decrease, and Stony Brook had a ten percent slack. The largest drop in student applications has hit the fields of teaching and liberal arts. “There just aren’t enough jobs to go around in these fields and the students realize this,” said Hostetter. Spokesmen from the three SUNY centers agreed that the decrease in applications is due in part to a growing disenchantment with a college degree many students are now favoring a vocational skill also said that the number of students graduating from high school They had decreased and that it would continue to decrease through the 1980’s. This will obviously affect the number of applications. The spokesmen did not feel, however, that this decrease would markedly affect the quality of the students at the four university centers markedly. Private schools with comparable academic standards do not appear similarly affected. A spokesman for Cornell University said that the number of applicants to that school had actually increased about five percent over last year. $6.00 Name.

The move would rob the students living near Main Street of their activities base and would not guarantee that the clubs and services would be revitalized. The isolation of the Amherst Campus would reduce the ability of the organizations not based in Squire Hall to function effectively and would alienate them from most of just as SA and Sub Board find themselves the students Student Organizations and services in this an University are in deep trouble. There is mandatory the S67 to increase overwhelming need Student Fee to $70 to continue the large and various activities offered on campus. The $67 fee has been in effect since 1971 and so it’s about time that students demand an increase that adequate services can be provided. The cost of living has increased drastically in the last seven years and with the decline of student enrollment, there is a great need for this insignificant increase in fee. Students must build pride in this University. I therefore encourage all undergrads to vote in favor of the Mandatory Student Fee Referendum on March 1, 2 and 3. Debbie Freedman What is College Fee?

To theEdUpr After having read thaarticle on travel between Buffalo and New York City, by Cari Weiss, in the February 27th issue of The Spectrum, I feel it necessary to come to the defense of Amtrak, Having ridden Amtrak trains on the Buffalo-New York City “Empire Route” on numerous occasions, 1 believe that the overall negative image of Amtrak service which Ms. Weiss conveys is unwarranted. Although a far cry from the days when the old New York Central Railroad mainline from New York City to Buffalo was the home of the finest fleet of passenger trains in the nation, the service provided along this route by Amtrak today, is much improved from the poor level of several years ago. Presently Amtrak is operating three daily trains each way between Buffalo and’New York City. Two of these trains, the “Lake Shore Limited” and the “Niagara Rainbow” carry full dining cars, in which passengers may eat complete meals chosen from a menu offering a good deal of variety. The food is usually excellently prepared, artd prices are quite reasonable. Both of these trains also include lounge cars, where passengers may purchase beer, liquor, soft drinks and snacks. The third train on the route is a brand new “Turboliner,” whose plush interior closely resembles that of a jet airliner. Services on this train include fast food and snack service and a first class, or “parlor” car. The Turboliner’s primary that it is scheduled to make the Buffalo-New York City run in eight hours and 10 minutes, rather than the nine hours allotted to the other two trains. Faster schedules should be in effect soon, as work continues to improve track conditions along the entire length of the route. Already, Amtrak trains are allowed 79 miles per hour along some sections of track between Buffalo and Albany. 1 doubt if a Greyhound bus on a parallel road would pass a train at the speed. In general, the trip between Buffalo and New York City by train is usually quite pleasant and relaxing. One final comment to Ms. Weiss: if you detect a “distasteful odor” in the train, check the bottom of your shoes you, must have stepped in something before you boarded the train, because in all of my train trips, I’ve never noticed, or heard a complaint of any particular “distasteful” odor. advantage is — Ron Klein �Medley of famous bits: rip-offs or creative comedy in High Anxiety'? by Gerard Sternesky Arts Editor I've been trying, for a long time and with little success, to figure out why Woody Allen and Mel Brooks are so equally appealing to so many people. My first approach was to look for similarities between the two, thinking that there must have been one or two nutshell explanations besides the depressingly obvious fact that, along with Carl Reiner, they are the only major figures in today's American film comedy, and people are perhaps just comedy hungry. But movie history down to size, the especially nutshell ones which attempt to link filmmakers, can be deceiving. They are hardly ever arrived at easily or quickly, and they usually, as the saying goes, work better in theory than they do in practice. I often found myself in this particular case coming up seemingly with irrefutable evidence to support my own belief that Allen, in the long run, is a far superior comic, and should consequently be far more popular. Which of course brought me no closer to accounting fo; the fact that a lot of people disagree. explanations, Settling the score High Anxiety , Brooks' latest more creates even problems. I began to wonder after seeing it if Brooks will ever get out of Hollywood. I'm not saying, although of course, physically that might not be a bad idea but artisically. Will he ever get effort, - — that of his mind? High Anxiety is the fourth Brooks film aimed at cutting some part of monster out here being Alfred Hitchcock. Apparently, he has either a score to settle or a target relentless belief that what Americans want more to laugh at are old favorites. Brooks' treatment of his subjects has by now become a well-worn formula. He begins with a few forgotten classics, takes from them everybody's favorite scenes of characters, stretches them until they reach comic proportions, and then recreates them with his own actors; all the while tying everything together in a loosely constructed story. This seems to me to be not very far removed from all the sophomoric humor one finds in Mad magazine, and is the kind of thing that might best be left to the audience. One of the most curious pleasures but a pleasure nonetheless which many film buffs enjoy is trying to figure out the funniest way of perverting their most beloved movies. But anyone who has ever sat the fire with friends and talked about the "real" western he was going to make needn't bother anymore; normal people are being kept at way to make.movies is to stick to the institute against their will. the ones that have already been Mel Brooks has already made it Brooks endures his own version of made, and even the newspaper High the shower scene in Psycho, the advertisements refer to Remember this one? gathering of the birds on the Anxiety as a Psycho-Comedy.

Hopkins by Barbara Komaniky Spectrum Music Staff Music Editor If the world of music were truly regulated by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, then the conservatism so rampant in radio today would be as. consuming as when Volare won record of the year in 1958. Maybe the Grammys seen last Thursday night with that smilingly nauseating chipmunk of an artificial artist, John Denver really are a joke. Maybe they never intended to celebrate excel lance and innovation. Either that or the Academy cannot compute the equation: purity equals anarchy or purity equals energy or purity equals any number of attributes that could be associated with damn few award winners Thursday night. Let's face it as far as these old farts (and you don't have to be aged to be a gas) are concerned, the new wave could never have existed. My best new artist category could have included Talking Heads, . You didn't hear Television Cheap Trick, Elvis Costello, The Jam these names at all. Instead: pebby Blech, Shaun Cassidy, Foreigner, two others just as fuckin' innocuous. Not even Karla Bonoff! The new music that is one of the only hopes for a saving the excited energy, condemned again to non-recognition. Well, maybe it’s better that way. Because it seems when you're embraced by the elite (economically speaking), you lose it, whatever it is touch with yourself, creative perspective, identification with your audience. It's been too long a time since these polished faces were scramlin' down in the street, for sure. — — — - — — — — — .. — Farrah-Fawcett Fleetwood The grammys their quota of surprises. Mike Fleetwood made the acceptance speech for Fleetwood Mac instead of media idol Stevie "Farrah- Fawctt" Nicks. Never thought I'd see David Crosby in a tux. Haircutting is everywhere. I wouldn't have guessed that Barbara Streisand would touch Paul Williams (I mean, she couldn't take Kris Kristofferson, either) I also never would never have believed a year ago that Steve Martin could be so unfunny. All this excitement that the Grammys give usl They were also most instructive. I had my doubts whether Olivia Newton-John could actually speak. Now I know she can't. Funny, she's won an award. I learned that Debby Boone, in all her though conservative resplendency, would make a fine replacement for Chicago's Terry Kath. I learned from Andy Gibb that having Ivy League relatives is mandatory. Who said teevee couldn't be a teacher? On a graver level, the grammys instruct us in the values of Linda Ronstadt paradox was a manip||ation. The Peter Asher perfect showcase. Ronstadt one of the finest singers and a great interpreter by the highest standards, lost all of her nominations (and there were plenty). Asher, who has a heavy hand in the shaping of Ronst$dt's music and public persona, picked up his grammy as the year's best producer. He was recognized for his ability as controller, and she was ignored for her art and talent. It's positively revolting. — — Thumbin' down tharoad The one encouragement of all the rock awards was the nose-thumbing no-show from the Eagles. It made it more satisfying that it was the top award of the night. The. embarrassed scanning of the camera and Andy Williams' frozen smile were great when they went unrewarded. But aside from that and few other minor moments, the grammys were, on the occasion of their 20th anniversary, an artistic vacuum. If their purpose was to honor musicians and their art, NARAS failed miserably. If it was to satiate itw own starfucking urges, it was a blazing success. A final note: The program after the grammys presentation was The Tonight Show, featuring Johnny Carson in all his arid urbanity. Johnny's featured guest was David Steinberg, a nice Jewish comedian from Canada. Carson and Steinberg were having a simulated discussion about music. No nominees, no songs, no producers, no nothing. Not criticism nor praise. The center of their attention was who would need their noses cauterized the next day (everybody). But strangely enough, this chic chit-chat about trendy trivialities seemed twistedly appropriate. And if that isn't a snow job, I don't know what is. rHaaaaBaaicouPONaiaHMaaHaa^I Michael Gregory Jackson stirs rich potions of Clarity. My thoughts congeal. I note that this is the time of WBFO's membership drive, and I ponder of the potential that a public radio station can yet reach. What does it mean to the University where it is based? What does it mean to the station itself? To begin, WBFO is seeking a more powerful transmitter, so more people may be reached. As for what it has to offer, the surface (a wide terrain) of its public affairs, cultural values focus, wider variances of the Arts are but a sample of what can be done through a receptive media. Does that 'sound contradictory to you? Depends on your viewpoint of media, and one has but to observe the "commercial" media to realize the need for differentiation. The idea of a WBFO is a lucrative start, and the idea of creative conceptualization is to discover how to apply even the rough edges to convey a fuller message. To do this, it takes the guts to program with positive conviction originality and (contrary to the notion that mass produced stagnancy is "safe"). One can measure a goal best by its products and future sums. An additive aspect is the first area appearance of the volcanic reedsmaster David Murray (this Wednesday past), brought here by the newly formed Freelance Artists for a lolo saxophone concert to benefit WBFO (more on this concert next week). An artist of Murray's fast growing importance premiering in this area to help WBFO can only portend The tapes revealed some fine, intensely rich Music ranging from the bluesblack folk extensions of the elastically fluid Oliver Lake (with Michael Gregory Jackson, Fred Hopkins and Philip Wilson, Oliver joins in collectif) to the bold visceral dance of Charles — - greater possibilities to come, not only for the station, but the creative promoters who conceived the idea as well. Watch where the Freelance points. Tyler Michael Gregory Jackson through cheap thrills under the disguise of revolutionary rhetoric (usually spoken for the hell of it, it is certainly no new wave), or simple-minded encourage conformity in vogues of danceable fever (which is by no means hot). Perhaps, if the media presented the creative as well as the derogatory and bland sides of humanity, many people would abandon the notion that isn't entertaining or relevant", having a true variety to choose from. This, of course, points to the importance of each individual to listen collectively with vision. Seek, I believe Rahsaan said. Insight is shown in WBFO's inclusion of the National Public Radio's Jazz Alive Program into their Thursday night roster. The show, hosted by noted jazz producer Cuscuna, Michael presents the latest and the greatest of the Music and her makers "creativity (from On the radio Evidence of what WBFO can offer creatively can be found in several cases, but the one I shall point out is one pointing to the national importance of public radio in being on the scene of great change often overlooked by the "major" media. One area obviously overlooked by the majority is the many growths that have taken place in Music. Too often we see the propogate media publicity (accompanied by among alumnus Ronnie Boykins on bass) and the swirling of delicacy the sandpainter inherent in the group Air (composed of the mercuric flute others. Sun Ra Billy Taylor to Henry Threadgill sending ringing around Fred Hopkins' bass rising hot shafts of wind to percussively rise from of currents Steve McCall, whose drums the continuity of consummate breathing).

The fiest that was when he was singing that old Brownie McGhee song: "This old night life this old sportin' life is killin' me . . . Think of more than twenty years spent in grimy corner coffeehouses and on streets and squares in New York City; of criss-crossing the country in cars on buses, very seldom on planed, from small club to college to festival to small club, grinding night after night, then doing it all again after all too short a break a night life, a "sportin'" life (at best), and-, make no mistake, a killing one. The other was just after Van Ronk finished "Sunday Street", the title song from the Philo album that put him solidly back on the map. It's one of his own songs he doesn't write much, but his originals are very much in his owrt voice, tailored to fit him tb the last Stitch, and this look at "the King of Tap City", confident of better days on the way, is no exception.

He does so mostly to himself that was'who that little aside was mostfy for, anyway. He coaxes a chortle out of himself after practically every song. Why hasn't the sportin' life killed Van Ronk? The chortles are one reason; he's never let himself forget how to laugh. The other reason is his music. - ... ...

When you combine an amazingly wide grasp of the blues and ragtime idioms, a deft and intelligent instrumental technique, a craggy and blustering voice that belies the gentleness it can portray, and a great stage personality, then a song becomes a show, a concert becomes a celebration and Dave Van Ronk, y-clept "blues singer", becomes an artist. .,.

Kim Darby and Henry Winkler Maybe she has a thing for lunatics At Como and Colvin 'One and Only'question: Could you like this person? by Michael Silberman Spectrum Arts Staff Some people get by on sheer talent, others by good looks, and some are simply charmers. Henry Winkler in The One And Only plays a charmer. As Andy Schmitt, he is a puzzling character, an appealing person on the surface but ultimately somewhat revolting. Even Kim- Darby (Mary Crawford), his on-screen lover, has doubts about him. She rationalizes their marriage by explaining, "I was too embarrassed to have you for a date." Director Carl Reiner has a share in this embarrassement too because he has given us a protagonist with few redeeming qualities. Although some of his remarks are amusing, it is nearly impossible to sustain any sympathy or compassion for Schmitt. The movie begins in black and white with Andy, as a child, entertaining family friends. In this brief scene it becomes apparent that the kid is a manipulating, self-centered, talentless wise guy. Sounds appealing doesn't he? Worse still, as the film progresses, he never really changes; Andy grows older but not up. Sufficiently enthusiastic After the opening scene the film jumps to an Ohio college, circa 1951, where an energetic Schmitt burns the candle at both ends and somehow manages to avoid getting scorched. He is neither a great actor nor a superior athlete, yet his enthusiasm seems sufficient. On the football ffatd he feigns injury to get an ovation and onstage he cheaply undermines a tragedy by turning his one line into a one man death .scene. There is no stunt he won't pull if applause is in sight. Even Schmitt's come-ons are coarse and vulgar. “Hey do you pick your nose", he asks Crawford, “I can't imagine anyone so pretty picking their nose." suppose, because he's She goes out with him, different. Or maybe she has a thing for lunatics. Reiner apparently feels that love is inexplicable' and the coupling, to him at least, is plausible. However, their relationship seems to me too far fetched. On dates Schmitt interupts Crawford with pleading lines like, "Hey let's talk about me.” When he meets another man seeking her affections, Schmitt breaks into hysterical laughter. During lovers' quarrels he I to throwing temper tantrums and name-calling. Yes, Schmitt gets the audience he so desperately needs but what Crawford gets, besides a migraine, is beyond me. often resorts The obligatory scenes After they marry, the newlyweds go to New York City, where Schmitt is convinced his Broadway dreams will come true. He eats in all the right restaurants and gets rejected for parts by all the right people. Yet he never once doubts his own ability; that would take too much intelligence. Instead he finds his audience in a different arena, one which is professional wrestling. more suited to his talents With his flair for overacting and his need to stimulate crowds, he soon rises to the top as The Lover, a flamboyent Gorgeous George type performer. During his gradual rise to fame we see the obligatory scenes of the young couple's troubled romance. Will she leave him or not? The tension mounts like a tired department-store shopper climbing stairs on Christmas Eve: slowly, if at all. Schmitt obviously doesn't deserve her devotion (after all he has his own). The reconciliation scene after they split up comes off as nothing more than a naive and juvenile attempt to stir up audience emotions. If she had half a brain she would have left him long ago. And permanently. - — The one and One might be able to attribute Schmitt's hunger for mass approval to the fact that he was an orphan "They were killed in a car accident. Don't say you're sorry . . What if 1 told you I was driving the other car and thus insecure. But there never seems to be any depth or real substance to his character. Crawford at one point asks "Are you always" proclaims our star. However this problem, which Reiner apparently couldn't deal with, is quickly and conveniently forgotten. It is merely an effort to gain instant sensitivity for an egotistical character. At the film's conclusion, everyone and everything Schmitt comes face to face with a real dilemma. "I don't even like the dictates. Schmitt, mindless to the end, bathes in his fanfare without having sacrificed anything in achieving it. I for one am grateful he's the only One And Only.

Through these, the art world he was born into and the places he lived in take on their rightful significance. Calder's autobiography is, to its credit, not a collection of distant memoirs recorded for the amazement of readers. Calder simply tells what he remembers about childhood friends, neighborhoods and schools. He explains that his father and grandfather were sculptors, that his mother was a painter, and that he himself, at an early age, was encouraged to be inventive. He recalls having small workshops and being the center of attention with peers because of his ability to make things from the most unlikely garbage. Various faces and names are continually flashed throughout the book. Calder had a world of acquaintances and friends which he connects to various exhibits and incidents. The Calders traveled extensively, and An Autobiography With Pictures abounds with descriptions and memories of their travels, such as this excerpt from a journey to South America . . . We met Kelso Peck who had King Carol's suite on the top of the Copacabana Hotel. We all danced the samba violently, but Kelso did not know how to dance. So instead he would do cartwheels and every time he went round all his pens and pencils fell out on the floor. We kept picking them up for him. Contemporary artists had some influence on Calder's style. He was part of a group in Paris in 1930 called "Abstraction-Creation", including such artists as Arp, Mondrian, Robert Delaunay, Pevsner, and Jean Helion. He isolates a visit to Mondrian's studio as a shock that started things." 'Though I had heard the word "modern" before," he writes, "I did not consciously know or feel the term "abstract". So now at thirtytwo, I wanted to paint and work in the abstract." One of Calder's most unique creations was his circus, began early consist of moving in his career. The parts enough to fill a room acrobats, clowns, platforms, and wooden animals. The conception is a child's fantasy come true. His circus entertained friends at parties for many years and sometimes brought in needed money as a ticket-selling " — — enterprise. Gradually, Gaidar's art attracted notice, earning him shows and an occasional advertising assignment. He never stifled his experimentation for the choice of being secure. His work began to take on larger dimensions and by the end of his career he was designing huge metal "stabiles" which had to be constructed in foundries. He did a commission for the Brussel's Fair called "The Whirling ,r Ear, and a giant mobile for Kennedy Airport. By the time of his deaths in 1976, Calder had major exhibitions in the Guggenheim, Museum of Modern Art, and Whitney Museum in New York and in the Musee d'art Moderne in Paris. His art is acclaimed world wide, and is in permanent collections in South America, Asia, the Middle East, the Soviet Union and numerous American cities. Calder: An Autobiography With Pictures in a voice that is distinctly Calder's. It is more than just a progress report or a celebration of conceit. The book succeeds in combining the spirit of his life with the genius of his life. — , - Elvis Costello One of the most accessible of the new wave artists to surface this year Elvis Costello, will bring his group The Attractions to the Moot Hall on the Buffalo State College campus this Saturday for two shows.

The aforementioned rendition of the Mingus classic is from his latest album on Atlantic, Three Or Four Shades Of Blues. If you are surprised at the inclusion by Mingus of the well known guitarist Larry electro-shock Coryell (or Mingus using electric or acoustic guitar), then you are among the many who expereinced three or four shades of "WHAAAATI" You will find that feeling appreciatingly appropriate for the visceral verbosity that Mingus, ever, as unveils beautifully with the emotion of new discovery and resurgent virtu ou si ty. It's exceedingly hot. Strangely enough, much of the critical opinion of this album (I fail to Understand the basis of a here) con centers on the hypothesis that Shades is supposed to be leaning towards j'rock fusion (known popularly as 'jazz-rock") Mingus because employs the use of electric guitar. Besides being as stupid as labeling Miles' Bitches Brew as j'rock (and check it out it isn'tl), this premise would suggest that Sun Ra Is a j'rockist due to his extensive use of electronic keyboards, and I've yet to run across any who even toy with that notion. (There is enough bias against Ra, anyhow.) Anyone who has ever heard of Charles Mingus should, by now, know of his roots in the Blues. In fact, the precedent for this album (the classic Blues & Roots, also on Atlantic) holds the key, or at least a prime indicator. - He (Nesuhi Ertegun) wanted to give them a barrage of soul music, churchy, blues, swinging, earthy. thought It over. / was 'born / swinging and dapped my hands in 5»• ki r. • ; Y ■> v'J 4 Friday, 3 March 1978 .

Asst. Professor. Department of Modern Languages and Literature, Roger Woock, Professor and Chairman, Department of Social Foundations of Education. President of the Student Association (SA) Dennis Delia has submitted a referendum to the undergraduate student body to decide whether campus police should be armed. The proposal is on this week’s ballot. We, the above-signed, are opposed to arming the campus police. We give our reasons below. The issue of arming the campus police is a re-run of past history. In the Fall of 1969 when Eugene Murray, then head of campus security forces, requested sidearms, Murray said that such a request was already one of “fairly long standing” (The Spectrum September 17, 1968). The demand for arms for the campus police is as equally baseless today as it was ten (and more) years ago. The author of the campus police force’s “Guest Opinion” in last Friday’s The Spectrum 1978) 24, (February seems bored over the “repetitiveness of the issue.” After expressing such disdain for the tediousness of concerns of members of the University community, the letter’s author goes on to assure us that the “purpose of this letter is not to take any stand on the issue.” However, the balance of this two-thirds page letter in The Spectrum is consumed with arguments for the arming of the campus police First we are told that in 1976, UB ranked third in serious crimes and fifth in overall crimes out of the “30 municipalities in Erie County reporting to the New York State Department of Criminal Justice Services.” While this sounds impressive, we are not told on what basis this ranking is made. For example, the FBI Uniform Crime Reports include two methods of generating crime rates. One is based upon complaints received by police. The other is based upon arrests made by police. In the latter instance, there are no guarantees that the person(s) arrested for a crime or crimes are the author(s) of those crimes. Simply basing the crime rate on arrest statistics is a false way of looking at crime The historical and contemporary experience of the Afro-American, American Indian, Chicano, Puerto Rican and poor and working class white populations and their relationships with the police highlights this point While police reporting techniques continue to list crime rates by arrest and crimes cleared by arrest, it doesn’t necessarily follow that the police always arrest the right person. Furthermore, with the hiring of more police, there is a tendency for there to be more arrests. Hence, the more police on the job, the greater the crime rate! That says nothing about the actual rate of crimes committed. Next" the “Guest Opinion’s” author states that in “1977, the University of Buffalo had a higher total crime rate than any of 1 2 villages, 8 towns and 2 cities in Erie County. UB also had a higher crime rate than Buffalo State College, which-has unarmed campus police. (Based on the argument of our campus police, Buffalo State should have high crime rates until the campus police are armed as a deterrent. But, that’s not the case.) Additionally, if the crime rate on the UB campus is calculated only on the basis of the 26,000 students, fully 2000-3000 staff (who are also part of the to subject and criminal University community victimization) are excluded. Were they to be included (as they should be) in the Campus Police’s computations, the crime rate would be lower. Furthermore, precisely because of the close character of social interaction on this campus, events and circumstances which might go unreported among the general public (e g., damage to a maple tree and an unraveled fire hose) tend to get reported. This increased frequency of reports might inflate the rate of calls received by Campus Police. However, that is not the same as increased crime rate. We are then given a listing of calls (not reports oj crimes) received by campus police in 1975. Of the entire list of 4774 calls, 1049, or 22 percent constitute crimes that fall into six of the seven major categories of crime listed in the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reports. The seven and non-negligent categories are: “myrdej , - manslaughter,” “aggravated assault,” “forcible rape,” “robbery,” “burglary,” "larceny-theft” and “motor vehicle theft.” When we break down these 1049 calls to campus police into the above categories, we get the following picture for 1975: Table I: Calls Classified by Campus Police which fall into one of Seven Major Offense Categories Designated in PHI Uniform Crime Reports, 1975. Murder and Non-negligent Manslaughter Aggravated Assault Forcible Rape 665 (total) ” On 'the balance of 3725 calls, 1300 were answered by campus police in their service (i.e., non-coercive) capacity, a socially positive function, we might add. According to the author of the “Guest Opinion,” thfise calls” consisted of “auto the public, etc.” 1361 of the 18 “sex offenses remaining 2425 calls ranged from (other)” (could some of these again be police encounters with gay men in the Harriman basement men’s lavatory?) to 69 “trespassing,” 229 “su picious persons” (a highly subjective category at least) to 183 “persons to hospital in police car” (another expression of the positive, or service function of policing) etc. The remainder were non-criminal and non-misdemeanor actions such as 25 “attempts to locate a person,” “swamped boat,” etc. A few non-victim “crimes” and more seriously defined situations (some perhaps definable as crime) remained Basically, that is a breakdown of (he calls of 1 975. miscellaneous services to A sample from 1977 should also be presented. In The Spectrum's sometime column of last year, “The Police Blotter," we find the following (for the periods, March 7-13 and April 20-26): Table II Calls Classified by Campus Police which Fall Into One of the Seven Major Offense Categories Designated in FBI Uniform Crime Reports 25 (total) Larceny-Theft Petit Larceny 20 Grand Larceny Burglary Sources: March 3-13, 1977, “The Police Blotter,” The Spectrum, March 21, 1977. April 20-26, 1977, “The Police Blotter,” The Spectrum , May 2, 1977. The second most numerous category listed for the March 7-13 and April 20-26 is “Criminal Mischief” with 18 calls. These events are typically reported in the “Police Blotter” as follows Thursday, April 21, 1977 Millard Fillmore Criminal Mischief A light bulb was broken and kick marks were on the machines at the Student Club April 22-“24, 1977 Weekend Hadley Road Criminal Mischief Male reports that someone smashed into one of the small maple trees. period - - - — - - The third most frequent occurrence is “Harassment,” a vaguely defined circumstance ranging from telephone insults to fights between roommates. Sometimes, the campus police definition of “Harassment” may be incorrectly applied, as in the following instance which, perhaps, should have been listed as an assault. Wednesday, April 20, 1977 Hayes Hall Lounge Harassment Woman states that while she was sitting in the lounge, a male, 150 lbs., wearing blue slacks, dark blue shirt, approached her and began talking to her.

Based on the data, we have been unable to provide evidence for arming the campus police. All we’ve discovered is that on the LIB campus, as in the United States in general, larceny-thefts and property crimes constituted the greatest law-enforcement problem and none of these instances can be prevented or solved with weapons. For example, according to the FBI Uniform Crime Reports, the national burglary rate has increased from 457.9 per 100,000 inhabitants in 1960 to 1,525.9 per 100,000 in 1975. This has been a steady increase. Likewise, larceny-thefts have skyrocketed. From 1972 to 1976, the rate of reported larceny-thefts per 100,000 inhabitants increased 47 percent (Federal Bureau of Investigation. “Uniform Crime Reports,” Crime in the United States, 1976, Washington, DC.: September, 1977, p. 27). Larceny-thefts have also been constantly on the rise since 1960 as well. Hardware doesn’t help. Since 1968, American taxpayers have funded a virtual militarization of the police apparatus via the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA), which was created by the Omnibus Crime Control Bill passed in that year. In Fiscal Year 1969, the LEA A budget was $63 million. It grew to $3 billion in Fiscal Year 1972. Much of this expenditure was made on hardware and police training “law and order” approach. above, property crimes continue to mount countrywide. None of this crime is preventable or controllable with arms! Certaily, there is no educational benefit to be derived from arming the Campus Police. For example, the two most commonly used police sidearms. Smith and Wesson’s Model 23 (.357 Magnum) and Model 19 coupled with an intensified However, as we’ve seen, (.38 Police Special) cost, respectively $188 50 and I 1 9.00 each, according to the Gun Center. Arming the 50 signators of last Friday’s Guest Opinion could equally pay for a number of graduate assistantships or tuition waivers or undergraduate scholarships, etc. 50 .357 Magnum pistols would cost $9,425.50 and .38 pistols would cost $5950. Increasing police hardware just ties the police closer to the military-industrial complex and lines the pockets of big business more. Guns and more guns, gas, dum dum bullets and “law and order” are not the solution As Robert Di Grazia, Police Commissioner of Boston, $ says: Most of us are not telling the public that there is very little the police can do about crime. We are not letting the public in on our era’s dirty little secret; that those who commit the crime which worries citizens most violent street crime are, for the most part, the products of poverty, unemployment, broken homes, rotten education, drug addition and alcoholism, and other social and economic ills about which the police can do little, if anything. Rather than speaking up, most of us stand silent and let the politicians get away with law and order rhetoric that reinforces the mistaken notion that police in ever greater numbers and with more gadgetry can alone control crime The politicians, of course, end up perpetuating a system by which the rich get richers, the poor get poorer, and crime continues (Di Grazia, Robert, Police Commission of Boston, quoted in Lloyd Shearer, “Intelligence Report,” Parade Magazine, Buffalo Courier Express, August 22, 1976, p 4). - - - - Friday, 3 March 1978 .

Education... —continued from page.2— If i return to GeneraT Education is going to be made, a more cohesive body of faculty must be formed so that undergraduate study, across disciplines can resume. This may take the form of team teaching for example, with professors in various fields instructing a course surveying the natural sciences perhaps. General Education will mean a re-emphasis on the art of teaching. There must be found faculty members Who are genuinely interested in seeing the generally educated student emerge from this University. The Chairman of the Faculty Senate, Jonathan Reichert, said that “General Education means a breaking down of the walls between departments to establish a program that is more than a collection of nice courses.” If not an assemblage of “nice” courses, then what will General Education mean? Not an easily answered question. Schwartz’ report is more definite on what it will not mean. It will not mean a return to more distribution requirements, since this is seen as regressive and as a superficial excuse for more meaningful change. It will not be the same program for all students since the principles of diversity and exploration of thought hardly coincide with uniformity in academic pursuits. It will not be fixed, or permanent in its content but continually redefined to fit changing needs. General Education is at this stage more a way of thinking about education than a specific formula for a degree. The generally educated person is seen as being able to critique society and imagine why others critique it differently. He should be a challenger to accepted or recognized points of view and an interrogater of those who hold them. ■ > ■■; ■ In context He must have in his grasp, the common body of knowledge from which all disciplines spring, so that the family of thought is not as disjointed and striated as our technology makes it appear. In this sense, some mastery of history and philosophy is seen as vital yw, but useless without the ability to place our present society in an historical and philosophical context. He must be introduced to a wide range of disciplines, but not in the University’s current fashion of presenting the discipline’s framework in hopes that the student will move up the structure. It follows then, that it is more important that a sutdent who desires an introduction to psychology, for example, know in practical terms what a psychologist does, what kinds of questions he asks, the institutions he functions within and the uncertainities of his profession rather than the basic tools, such as the definition of terms, areas of the brain and so on that are required to proceed in the field of psychology. The introduction to many disciplines shows the generally educated person how all fields of thought are interdependent, which is more important than taking the first step in mastering all those fields. How the program in General Education will produce this person is still to be decided. At this point, the University should, prepare itself for the forging of the generally SdflciHed studeftt wWf l-took af the mis-castings of the past. - — ' *•; *. v. / ■. - - ’ '— Page eighteen The Spectrum Friday, 3 March 1978 . .

Frank Anzalone’s record-tying five goal performance paced the playoff bound hockey Bulls to an easy 12-1 victory over Union College Tuesday evening at the Tonawanda Sports Center. Tom Wilde chimed in with four scores while Tim Igo, Jim Galanti, and Brian Grow each tallied singles for UB. The win, coupled with a loss by Williams College, enabled Buffalo to make the Eastern Cbllegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division II playoffs for the fourth time under coach Ed Wright. “It feels great to be in,” said the happy coach. The Bulls were West Division runner-up to the University of Massachusetts in 1972. UBalso made the playoffs in 1975 and 1976 but lost in the first round. Goals came early and quickly against Union as Anzalone and Wilde combined to score three times in the game’s first minute of play. Anzalone', the senior center, scored at the 0:30 mark as he drilled the rebound of Chris Bonn’s shot past Union net minder Andy Askinas. Nineteen , seconds later Wide tallied- The sophomore winger then'added another goal at 1:02 and UB had an early 3-0 lead. Five minutes later, freshman Igo picked up a loose puck in front of the Union net and quickly shot it past Askinas. The Bulls continually swarmed over the Dutchmen’s zone as they poured 26 shots o® net during the period and took 82 over the game. Anzalone recorded his second goal of the night at 17:45 on the power play and UB led 5-0 after the contest’s initial twenty minutes of play. “The kids were hungry,” commented Wright. “We were determined and played solid hockey tonight.” Scoring for the Bulls in the middle period were Anzalone and Grow. Anzalone scored on a quick Wristshot off a pass from Bonn at 4:43. Grow, the junior winger, tallied after a nice behind-the-net pass from linemate Ed Patterson.

Buffalo had a 4-on-3 man advantage and controlled the puck in the Union end. Defenseman Carl Koeppel, who had four assists in the game, passed to Wilde heading towards the net and the leftwinger put away his sixteenth goal of the season. “The puck bounced the right way today,” said Wilde. “My teammates set me up on a couple of the goals; all I had to do was put the puck in.” Buffalo thus ended the regular season with a 14-12 record overall, 12-10 in ECAC Division II. The Bulls have now won five in a row. “1 figured we would at least be .500, but our record is not really indicative of the way we can play,” said Wright. The Bulls will play at Middlebury, Vermont against Middlebury College (the number one seeded team in the playoffs) on Saturday night in the opening round of the playoffs and the team expects to do well. “We can knock off whoever we play, especially if we play to the top of our game,” explained Wilde. “They Icnow that if we put together our game we’ll be tough to handle.” Bonn, who had four assists against Union, agreed. “We would do well in the playoffs. We just have to get together for one game at a time,” he said. “This give game win streak gives us momentum coming into these playoffs and that should help but we have to play well.” Anzalone, who ended the regular season as Buffalo’s leading scorer with 24 goals, also thinks that the Bulls can win id the playoffs. “We have to get good goaltending, play better defense, and hit,” he said. ™ at a M^5 00 Allegria i . by Mike Rudny Spectrum Staff Writer Sn°cks Vino warming upfor playoffs score Cancoes! 1 - &A- International Affairs Coordinator �*r» Royals takefinale, 105 28 by Joy Clark Sports Editor Royals The basketball destroyed and demolished, Spartens of devastated the D’Youville, all in one game.

Her 38 points alone would have topped the Spartans, and .that scoring effort set a new single game record for Buffalo. Frazier tallied most of her points on often uncontested lay-ups Generally, she rebounded or stole the ball and took it down the court for two. four Remarkably, after minutes, the game was tied at 4-4. Frazier scored Buffalo’s first four points, and then the Spartans came back with four of their own.

In an effort to achieve the best time possible at the State Championships this weekend, Finelli shaved his entire body. His dedication paid off the few seconds he shaved off his time allowed him to win the State title in two events (the 100 and the 200-yard butterfly). With his performance, George also sat another mark: he is The Spectrum's first bald Athlete — of the Week. Going out together In the last six minutes of the first period, the Spartans doubled their point total. Their turnovers were not nearly as frequent and they even managed to collect an offensive rebound now and then.

The proposal, which is strongly supported by President Carter, is expected to cost 51.2 billion and calls for an expansion of eligibility requirements for government scholarships. Students from families with incomes of less than $25,000.will be entitled to scholarships and students from families with incomes less than $40,000 will be eligible for subsidized loans. Additional funds for work-study programs for federally sponsored campus jobs amounting to $150 million will be added to the $435 million new spent annually. The bill was introduced by Representative William D. Ford (D., Michigan) who heads the Postsecondary Education Subcommittee of the House Education and Labor Committee, Committee aid Christine Standford said, “The proposal came about by the realization that more and more middle income families are getting undermined by the costs of higher education. The time has finally come that a bill will be reviewed which offers increased federal aid to middle income families.” There are approximately 20 major educational organizations lobbying Congress to approve the bill.

That bill would provide a $500 per student tax credit for families with children in college and in private elementary and secondary schools. This plan would cost an estimated $4 billion In tax revenues. The proposal disregards the income of the student’s family and gives tax credits to any family which can afford to send its children to college.

Presidential candidates were alloted ten minutes and all other candidates five to state their views, which was then followed by a question and answer period. Before the speakers began, Executive Vice Presidential candidate Paul Friedman argued for open discussion, rather than a question and answer period, while his opponent Karl Schwartz called for an. orderly procedure. The original procedure was upheld, with Presidential candidates speaking first. Robert Daniels of the JFK party was the firstto;, deliver his position, stressing that the main issue was a need for unity for working together. “Students should look at one another as individuals, we’re all equal,” said Daniels. He concluded by urging all students to come out and vote. Gary Maier of the Scarlet Begonia Party expressed the need for committees to conduct student opinion polls to put pressure on the Administration and organize a student lobby for putting together rallies and letter writing campaigns. Bob Sinkewicz, Presidential candidate on the Epic ticket, termed his experience in SA as his distinct qualification, calling for more direct contact between SA and the student body. He said that the Student Association of the State University (SASU) plan of unity should be adopted at this University in order to combat student apathy. He also called for the abolishment of task forces, which he labeled “ineffective,” and the • A HEATED DEBATE: The four candidates running for the office of Student Association (SA) President met in an unruly and vociferous forum at Porter Cafeteria Monday SA at amherst? Sinkewicz demanded full student representation on the Faculty Student Association (FSA) Board of Directors and suggested that SA officials get course credit rather than stipends. Sinkewicz said he already spoke to Acting Dean of Undergraduate Education Walter Kunz about the possibility of accrediting student government work. Presidential candidate Richard Mott, of The Party, prefaced his remarks by stating that Sinkewicz had, in the past, called Mott’s proposal for course credit for SA officials “something along the lines of shit What you said, Bob, was a crock of shit,” exclaimed Mott. Mott claimed the SA Executive Committee was dictorial and said, “If The Party is elected, we will return the powpr tp the rest of SA.” Urging a fight against insensitive administration, he said. “We should present ourselves to them as well-informed and intelligent. There’s no reason to get down to their level.” SA should never have moved to the Amherst Campus and should move back to Squire Hall, where it would be more accessible to students asserted Mott. “The Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) and the Equal Opportunity Program (EOP),” he said, “won’t give up their present space in 205 Squire, but 1 would like to see 261 D Squire used. If elected, I would insist upon each of the major officers holding office hours at both campuses.” Free tuition Maier argued that the UGL move to Capen Hall would bring students in contact with the present SA offices. “However,” he said, “moving to Squire which has more students walking through, would be good.” Sinkewicz believes the move of SA would be a good evening. From left to right are Bob Sinkewicz, Gary Maier, Bob Daniels and Richard Mott. The election for all SA positions and four referenda begins today and will run idea. “But University Vice President of Facilities Planning John Telfer has refused to give SA room at the Main Street Campus,” he said. The first of the candidates for Executive Vice President to speak was Paul Freidman, who called for open admissions, free tuition, a halt to construction of the Amherst Campus and the abolisment of FSA. “77ie Spectrum should not have a monopoly on SA endorsements,” said Executive Vice Presidential candidate Karl Schwartz. He advocated the right of all student organizations to endorse canidates. One of his opponents, Michael Niman, criticized the practices of FSA and University Police. “We should be dealing with tings that confront us on a daily,basis,” said Turner Robinson of the Epic and JFK parties. He asked for more school spirit and unity, stating that his expediences make him qualified for the position of Executive Vies ftwidrot. Candidate for Director of Academic Affairs Dave Seltehnan, the only one running for that position who spoke on Monday, supported retention of the four course load and a change of the “R” date te the tenth week of the semester. “We should use the captive audiences at movies and other events to involve students and let them know what SA is doing,” said candidate for Director of Student Affairs "Scott Juisto.

Phone bills incurred by the Stony Brook paper are paid for by the university administration, which in turn is reimbursed by the paper. Unable to pay the recent debt, which, according to Milrod “came up all of a sudden after the university had left us alone for a while,” The Statesman was forced to come up with a solution by February 28, the due date of the bill. “We are negotiating with the administration right now, hoping to defer payment of half the bill until next year,” said Milrod. He claimed the money to pay the debt was to be taken out of The Statesman’s account by the j Administration, a move which would have crippled the paper. He hoped that a compromise could be worked out so that the results would be less drastic. The Statesman is a separate corporation, partially funded by Stony Brook’s Student Government (Polity) which gives it $50,500 in Mandatory Student Fees. “The allocation has gone down in recent years from $62,000 to $53,000, to the present, amount,” said Milrod. “A realistic fee would be $70,000-$75,000.” Presently, The Statesman plans to publish 19 more issues on a Monday-Wednesday or possibly a Monday-Thursday basis. The paper will continue to print as long as funds allow. “The only condition us is a total depletion of funds,” which said Milrod. He explained that measures must be taken in order to get along on the money which is available. The salaries of typists, copy and production staff and business will bte cut by one-third. More “which we will try to exist on,” will advertisements, said, he and “we will try to exist have to .be pulled, said Milrod. on those;*’ ' Tightening our belts He said Polity decided to put to vote a referendum concerning the possibility of an annual voluntary fee paid by students to help fund the paper. Milrod claimed a decision must be made by the next billing period. “The motion doesn’t mean anything unless they schedule the referendum in time,” he said. Rumors that the paper would fold for an indefinite period caused Long Island’s Newsday to cover the issue. That story prompted requests for funds by businesses to whom The Statesman owed money. “We hope to keep publishing for as long as a period as possible.” said Milrod. “We’re hoping to get through the next ten weeks by tightening our belts. The phone bill is the immediate problem, but not,the ryot. At this point we are trying to make sure this problem will not occur next year.” Come in we’ll get you ready for Spring Break!

Director of Health Services M. Luther Musselman said that there has been a 150 percent increase over the average number of 41 cases reported at this firne last year. “I wouldn’t call it an epidemic,” Mussdman said, “But there is defiriitely an increased occurrence of the flu over last year. It’s more prevalent at the Amherst Campus and we’ve had a doctor there every day since the outbreak occurred.” Health officials don’t expect an epidemic because an outbreak of this particular strain several years ago built up a natural resistance in many students. According to Musselman, the flu bug began February 14, when 119 cases were reported. Health Service is presently employing all of its emergency beds to handle the flu ridden students, who have numbered between 90 and 100 for the past two weeks. The virus is not limited to sluderrts, said Musselman. “Quite a few instructors, some security members, some of our nurses, and a few doctors have reported the symptoms.” He added that few classes have been cancelled however. Symptoms of the affliction include increased perspiring, aching muscjas, coughing, fever and headache. Most cases last an average of 3-5 days. An outbreak of what appears to be the Rpssian Hu with similar symptoms has occurred at Buffalo State College.’ According to Director of Health Services at Buffalo State Winefred Mernan, a much milder strain which is clinically similar to Russian flu has affected students there. “The typical pattern is a fever of 101-102 lor the tirst two days, followed by a few days of muscle aches and fatigue. There are not as many chest symptoms with this strain,” Mernan said. The number of reported cases af Buffalo State is dropping, according to Mernan. Respiratory cases totaled 144 last Tuesday and tapered to 54 by Friday. “This milder type of flu doesn’t last as long,” she sard. Neither strain of tlu has reached the community to any large degree. A 20-40 percent increase in absenteeism has been reported in five industrial areas surveyed. Doctors attribute this to the fact that the virus breeds easily in densely populated areas and in areas with poor ventilation and dry air (i.e., dorm rooms). Similar flu outbreaks have plagued SUNY at Binghamton and Albany. Director of Health Services at SUNY Binghamton W.L. Lipman said that the flu there reached a peak two weeks ago and has now tapered off. “The problem was alarming for awhile. Some dorms had a 50 percent rate of illness,” Lipman said. Samples of both strains have been sent to Albany to be analyzed. Researchers have not yet identified either strain but health officials expect the results by the end or this week.

Over $850,000 is being fuaneled into this University by the DOD for research and for services provided by the computer and nuclear science facilities. From a student body once reknowned for its political activism, there has been little response to these projects or to the general involvement of the University with the military. In 1969, after initiation of the $300,000 DOD THEMIS project on this campus, students demonstrated their violent opposition to the armed forces. On March 19, 1969, students marched on the THEMIS site, tearing down fences and construction shacks. They then went on to occupy the portion of Hayes Hall outside the office of President Martin Meyerson, demanding that the project be removed from the University. Uniforms evident Military advertising has glso been an area of contention in the University community. The Spectrum has refused to accept recruiting advertisements for the last few years, a policy recently changed by the vote of the editorial board. These pages may soon be filled with soaring jet fighters and submarines Entering port. The Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) is not presently active'on campus* but IS students here are enrolled in the ROTC program total enrollment of 110 at Canlsius College. The junior class voted not long ago to wear their uniforms every Thursday, and now cross campuses, experiencing none of the derogatory comments that could have been expected several years ago. The ROTC office on the Canisius Campus has suffered only one minor act of vandalism in recent years, which was blamed on the neighborhood, not political activism. The offices of the University Air Force ROTC (AFROTC) were ransacked to the tune of $6,000 on October 15, 1969. About 70 students destroyed a Xerox machine, a duplicator, and most of the records. Shortly afterward, the AFROTC was discontinued at this University. When the AFROTC originally came here in 1951, the first two years of the program were mandatory for alt male students who could pass the physical examination. Some opposition was expressed, but when 'the program was made voluntary in 1965 the change was attributed to the derives of the Air Force and the lack of space in the basement of Clark Gym, where the facility was housed. Air Foi Hidden veterans Students at this University are war-time veterans. Three-quarters of them are receiving monthly allotments from the government for attending school. The University itself received about $7,000 yearly, depending on the number of veterans attending. “During the Vietnam war,” said Veterans Coordinator here, Clarence Dye, “some veterans would not file for their benefits, since they did not want to be identified as veterans.” Dye claims this has changed now and that students have no negative feelings towards former soldiers for anything they may have done while they were in the service. The University administration is neutral in its admissions policies concerning veterans, said Dye. However, several years ago, some schools practiced discrimination, Anti military students ransacked to the tune of $6,000. especially community colleges. didn’t want ‘murderers’ and addicts’,” Dye said. “They ‘dope There are other connections between students here and the military. It is not unusual for a student to be a member of the ‘active reserves’ while attending school. These students spend one weekend every local military training at a month installation, and several weeks every year on active duty. Changing attitudes The military is recruiting through several offices in the Buffalo area as well as through advertisements. Recruiters have not ventured on campus since the Vietnam the present lack of war, considering student opposition, there is no reason why would not seek to reflirn in the near future. Student attitudes towards the armed forces have changed over the years. Many people have termed it the result of general apathy. How much have opinions changed? Is there a major shift, due to economic and demographic conditions? Is it part of a cycle that is repeating itself? Or only a they return to war? normal after a traumatic Vietnam In subsequent installments, we will look inside an ROTC class, explore some of the history of the wartime demonstrations here, talk to veterans to see how they feel about other students and the military, and look into some of the DOD sponsored research now taking place on campus.

The guidelines were established in a recent memorandum from Student Association (SA) President Dennis Delia to Third World Student Association (TWSA) officials here.

Be there. by Mitch Gross Spectrum Stajf Writer The New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) and the Student Association (SA) have joined forces in calling,for immediate repair and repaving of the potholed section along Millersport Highway known as Grover Cleveland Highway. The two groups will make a presenation to the Amherst Town Council NYPIRG has already collected 1000 signatures on a petition Standing in the way of immediate action are home owners along Grover Cleveland who fear state plans to also widen the road The residents claim the widening will increase reckless driving along the half-mile strptch that the State Highway department spokesman labeled “the worst road we have To add pressure to their argument, SA and NYPIRG are seeking the support of students, faculty, the Blue Bird Bus Company and the Amherst Town Police. Two years ago, the Grover Cleveland Area Committee convinced the Amherst Town Council to veto construction on the highway The veto inspired NYPIRG’s State Board of Directors to initiate action encouraging construction. About two weeks ago, SA offered NYPIRG its cooperation. Except for voter registration drives, this will be the first time SA and NYPIRG have worked together on an issue. The petition, carrying SA and NYPIRG letter heads, reads in part: "The highway in its present condition is a hazard to the public safety and contributes to unnecessary costs for automobile repair.” According to Lew Rose of NYPIRG, "This petition has been the easiest drive we’ve ever had People are coming to us just to sign their “ names Peter (iambino, a resident of the (>rover Cleveland area, resents the portrayal of he and his neighbords as the "big bad wolves" of Millersport Highway. Gambino agrees that Millersporl is in bad shape, but he says the people of his area oppose widening more than they favor repaving In the six years that Gambino has lived along Grover Cleveland Highway, two cars have been deposited on his front lawn. His neighbors down the street have seen the fire hydrant in front of their home replaced tvVice because of reckless driving ■ ‘Close to 70’ The residents attribute the accidents to speeding "The sign says 40, but I’ve seen people doing 50, 60 and pretty close to 70 going down that road,” Gambino observed There are lots of children and old people in the area who are often on the streets Property values are a major concern of the adamant residents. As Gambino put it. "A major highway in front of your house is no bargain.” Finally, people in the area object to road-widening out of concern for the trees growing on either side. The Highway Department has promised to replace any trees that have to be cut down. However, the residents see no comparison between a stately tree that his been growing for at least 20 years and the anemic-looking Saplings that would replace them. Unconcerned NYP1RG and SA are not concerned with the problems of Grover Cleveland, “We don’t even mention abything about widening in our petition,’’ said Ira Grushack of NYPIRG. According to Grushack, the two student organizations see the residents as simply the deterrent to a project that would be beneficial to more people than it would inconvenience. They intend to make a presentation to the Town Council in the third week of March. This presentation will include all the petitions signed by students and teachers; a presentation by the Blue Bird Bus Company concerning monetary loss due to bus damage incurred on that road; a list of accidents that the AMherst Police attribute to the mutilated treads; and possibly a letter from each department head in favor of fixing the road. NYPIRG and SA want to defer the Town Council’s veto power on all construction in the Town of Amherst. “Actually, I see their point,” said Grushack. “We’ve asked the police for their cooperation in detering speeders . . We don’t believe, though, that the loss of a few feet on either side of the street is too much." As of now, the opposing groups have expressed an interest in meeting, but no communication has passed between the lines' in the battle over Grover Cleveland Highway. Those interested should jontact NYPIRG in 311 Squire Hall or call 831-5426. —Kua Hayes C, one Painted incongrous by Lewis J.

Page five �Daemen College and new prof evaluations by Bobbie Demme City Editor The flames of protest still crackle now and then. A “sit-in” staged three weeks ago by Daemen College students protesting the administration’s destruction of teacher evaluation forms led to the formation this week of a joint committee to conduct this semester’s evaluations. The decision came after a meeting between Daemen College President Robert Marshall and the Student Association Governing Board (SAGB). The joint committee, to be comprised of Academic Dean Patricia Curtiss, five members of the SAGB, and an as yet undecided number of teachers, will take over the mechanics of administrating the Spring evaluations of the college’s teachers. The evaluation forms are completed by the students and are used for a variety of purposes including the granting of tenure and as a basis for merit pay. The conflict was touched off-by the administration’s refusal to tabulate the results of last Fall’s evaluations due to what Vice President for External Affairs Marshall Raucci called “incomplete data.” Although the evaluation has been a tradition with the students, last semester was the first time it fell under student government supervision. - - ■rom khmgarten on. classes an geared to entrance exams. ‘Individual equals society’ Ordeal of education in Japan i |ur Kitty Bmwn everything that people want to gBt.” Spectrum Staff Writer Three way deal The students did not argue with the administration’s claims that response to the evaluation was poor.

At a Faculty Senate meeting last week, Ketter lamented that a test case he set up, took the individual four visits to A&R and seven hours to finally get registered Dremuk’s new administrative powers were recommended last Fall in a Registration Report prepared by Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs Claude Welch. In terming the process of student registration one of the most vital of all administrative processes at this University, the Report made ten recommendations to Ketter designed to facilitate and upgrade the procedure. The Task Force report, issued on October 27, 1977, is based on encountered problems by students, and faculty administration during the course of Fall registration. The Report 1 stated that the student at this registration process University is characterized by “divided responsibility, uncertain accountability, inadequate or delayed reporting of problems, and general confusion Cognizant need The primary recommendation of the Task Force was the assignment of all “administrative responsibility” of the registration process to a single administrator, in this case A&R Director Dremuk. According to Dremuk, that recommendation was based on a recognized need for “coordination” in the registration process. Dremuk attributed the majority of registration problems to the “minimal communication” between all departments. Since almost every administrative unit of this University including computing, financial, facilities planningand undergraduate advisement is involved in registration, Dremuk said there was a definite need for a single administrator to handle the myriad of problems involved in - — the registration system Dremuk said one of his first tasks would be to draw up contingency plans for registration such as computer emergencies breakdowns. In past years, when no such plans existed, Dremuk Said, many administrators had to be consulted before action could be taken to repair the computer. In the future, Dremuk alone, will be responsible for any action taken.

Most of the dilemmas involve the complexity of the SARA (Student Academic Records Administration) computer, the lack of proper planning on the part of scheduling units and the unavailability of accurate information to students during advance registration. SARA developed over a period of nine years is designed to negate redundant information gathering from students and reduce clerical time and effort in that information. gathering Nevertheless, as a consequence of its complexity, the Computing Center is forced to write programs “that circumvent all SARA is supposed to do perhaps because the system is too complex!” the Report read.

James Stern, candidate for Student Association of the State University (SASU) delegate No guns Undergraduates should overwhelmingly vote against arming University Police in the first referendum question today. Strangely enough, the vote is currently as innocuous as the issue is potentially serious. The subject of arming University Police should never have been brought to a vote because, as far as we know, nobody in the Ketter Administration with the power to affect a decision on the matter has even suggested that it be a current subject of debate. But, however inappropriately the issue has been raised, it must 'be squelched, quickly. In as much as students everywhere are demanding more input into University-wide policies, a vote to arm by students could be taken seriously by Ketter Administration officials, who will undoubtedly be keeping a close eye on the results. Vote NO, don't take a chance. Party hearty Whether a Spring Weekend sponsored by SA, similar to those apparently successful ones that have become firm institutions at Brockport and Cortland State and Albany, would be instrumental in bringing students together and "getting them involved” at this University is highly doubtful. However, there can be no doubt that, given the proper organizing, a suitable location, a bright sunny day and hordes of smiling, stoned, tipsy faces, the event could be a great momentary success. We envision a row of kegs singing "taste me, taste me" lined up at the fountain area in back of Squire Hall (and definitely not at Talbert Hall) and students, faculty and even some administration characters making the wild and crazy scene. Vote yes for an SA Spring Weekend. A fine time is guaranteed for all. although the costs of many services and events it pays for have. Those students who presently can afford to pay the $67 can certainly afford a three dollar increase. Those who cannot will have no more or less trouble getting fee waivers. How wisely the fee will be spent depends not as much on how much money is available as on who is in charge of spending it. Therefore, while raising the fee will theoretically automatically mandate an increase in services and club events, a wise selection of candidates must accompany the decision to raise the fee. It will be worth it. Four course yes The rather involved referendum on the four course load and Faculty Senate ought to be approved for no other reason than to inspire guilt in the parties who ought to be feeling it. More valuable to the students than voting YES on a topic that really has no NO side is a wide ranging understanding of the entire four course load issue and its implications. But, vote YESregardless. It can't hurt. ■■. ""- *■ ■* ■ ■* ■" ' "i The Spectrum boot VoJ. 28, No. 61 I ■ ■ rl • Editor-in-Chief Managing Editor *■ - f l978 Brett Kline John H.

Included in the referendum which will accompany the SA elections is, once again, the issue of the mandatory student fee. There has been a proposal to raise the fee a mere S3, from the present $67 to the $70 limit. It is my firm conviction that this should have been done a long time ago, in fact, it never should have been lowered to $67 in the first place. I realize that there is substantial opposition to any increase of thfc fee, but I regard that opposition as apathetic, hypocritical and uninformed. It is truly exasperating to see certain people passively relent to but utility costs (National Fuel Gas in particular) when it comes to contributing to our own Student -Thi Spectrum Wednesday/! March ffty&n&Wi . - Association, those very people rise up and say “no way.” They claim that they aren’t getting their money’s worth, but if they just took the time to go over to the SA office and ask a few questions, they would find that we benefit immensely and in various ways from our Student Association. Students who financially cannot afford the increase wouldn’t be affected by it since they would be eligible for a fee waiver anyway. Let’s all vote and vote responsibly in this election. Support SA! Name withheld Up the fee Pay Student Fees'. “You Get What You For.” Background: The present mandatory fee came into being in 1968, when the State University Board of Trustees passed a resolution authorizing its collection. The ceiling they set for these fees was (and still is) $70 per student per year. Between 1968 and 1971, the fee fluctuated between $68 and $69 annually. The current fee, $70 for freshmen (includes $3 for orientation activities) and $6 7 jor all other students, was implemented at SUNY Buffalo in 1971. The fee has remained the same since 1971, but not much else has. So what? Since 1971 inflation has affected the cost of everything, including the dope we smoke, the beer we drink, the gas we drive with, and the books we read. Equally affected are the consequent reductions in the overall funding base. At the same time, the number of clubs funded by this base has doubled, from 50 in the early 70s to 100 today, spreading those funding dollars even thinner. We are constantly complaining about the quality of'life here, including academic, social, cultural and recreational opportunities. When was the last time you compared Ripple wine with Beaugolais? Genesee beer with Coors? Let’s face it, you get what you pay for. The time has come for us to get What we pay for at this University. Students can receive more from student groups only if those groups have the funds to provide quality services and programs. Vote yes on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday to increase the Student Fee to $70. Each year students fight among themselves for a •" piece of the shrinking pie known as the SA budget We need a unified student body at this University, not one in which we’re fighting each other for service and activijes provided by and for students at scraps.

Wednesday, 1 March Dave Koenig For the fee f. I6 Like everyone else in this “Berkeley of the East,” I pay $67 a year in Mandatory Student Fees Now they’re asking for $3 more which comes out to six cents a week, or less than a penny a day. I don’t think my budget will break under that kind of strain but altogether it comes out ot $30,000-$40,000 for the various activities on campus. A lot of good things are being done on campus, through NYPIRG, CAC, SASU, The Spectrum and all the other publications Mandatory The Student Activity Fee should be raised to $70 from of our athletics, the many the Record Board, Schussmeisters, of Sub activites Coop, etc., etc., etc. Many of these organizations are in trouble this year, especially after Neil Seiden’s blunder overestimating this year’s income. But the point is that student involvement on campus is increasing and SA can’t come up with the bucks to help out. So 1 urge all undergraduates to vote in favor of the Mandatory Student Fee Referendum on March 1, 2, 3. For your own sake. coming out, Legal Aid, all To the Editor To the Editor $67. but. it is not without reservation that we make this recommendation. The fee has not changed since 197 V, the error. Support the fee .' Up the Fee was incorrectly identified as James Stein. Stern is obviously not Stem. The Spectrum apologizes for will program it and provide you with this wonderful Spring celebration a University like this should have. It could be greater next year if the fee is increased. The most controversial issue is if University Police should be armed in any way. Again, I urge you to remember there is no magic field surrounding this University that turns everyone into angels when they step on the campus grounds. This is one of the most open and accessible campuses around and sticking your heads in the ground does not make the danger go away. Albany State has armed security and they do not go around shooting students. The decision you have to make is if you were the victim of a crime or could be a victim of a violent crime, would you want University Police, who are qualified, well acquainted with the campus and its atmosphere, and accountable to the University to handle it or outside police forces who are not familiar at all with this campus and its grounds, and not accountable to anyone to handle it. Thank about it. Finally, we must tell the Faculty Senate and the Administration that the goals of the Curricular Structure Report are unrealistic. We must maintain the general education program we have now until the University is physically able to handle the proposed change in curricular Structure. So please vote yes on the last referendum question. Most importantly You will be.asked if you favor an increase in the Student Activity fee. 1 urge you to support the increase because prices are going up, costs are going Up and the increase is essential if the Student Association (SA) is to provide more activities and services in the future. Concerts like Santana, great film programs, services like legal aid, Derital Clinic, Sexuality Clinic, and activities like UB Olympics and Spring Weekend will continue and expand if the fee is increased. SA organizations like CAC and NYPIRG, Sunshine House all are experiencing telephone cost increases and inflation that is seriously damaging their ability to provide services to the students as they should. Support these activities r ’ and services and support the fee indteash.'’ I hope you all endorse the. Spring Weekend referendum with a resounding yes vote so your SA though, PLEASE VOTE!!

The quality of student life at this University can be characterized in a definite sense. I would 1. How would you describe the quality of student life at this University and what specific steps would you take to improve it? I feel that the overall quality of life at this University is poor. Severe problems exist in the areas of academic quality and student sense of community. Academics are the biggest function of a university, and the policies governing this are not subject to much student input. There are many reasons for this but lack of pertinent 1.

How would you describe the quality of student life at this University and what specific steps would you take to improve it? A major problem with helping improve the quality of student life is not knowing what rate it fair, but it needs improvement in terms of student participation. The quality is both poor and boring. The specific steps I would take to improve student life would be to urge students to participate in every possible way newsletters, announcements through different departments and also through The Spectrum. I would inform them of how the Seante is formed and explain why student life is so bad. Having no input from the students, the quality of student life here will remain stagnant even though it is I who will be in office, it is you the students who will determine our direction. Hopefully, we can get together and turn this place into what we want it to be, a University which we are proud to be a part of. 2. What were the major successes and failures of last year’s Student Association and how would you evaluate the role played by Dennis Delia? The major successes of last year's Student Association were 1. The administration was able to obtain the majority vote of the Board of Directors of Sub Board. 2. Dennis Delia's administration decision to stand up for the right of every student to have legal representation took a lot of strength with the Administration so strongly against it. 3. Meeting with the Alumni Association and actually working with them in the interest of the students and bringing football back showing the information is one I propose to form a committee of students to act as an information lobby, to conduct polls and investigations about issues and to publicize the results to SA and the academic community I also feel that ideas like government for course credit should be considered as ideas to promote responsiveness to student ideas To help bolster the sense of student community here, I feel ideas such as a campus TV station, hooked up to Cable-vision, and broadcast to both campuses and the surrounding community, or large scale events such as a Grateful Dead concert on campus would help. These are just ideas, and maybe not the right ones but I have an attitude of looking at the possibilities objectively and trying out new ideas hard work of a copesetic relationship, 4. Fighting for cqnstruction funding on 2. What were the major successes and failures of last year's Student Association and how would you evaluate the role played by Dermis Delia? One success of last year's administration was that they did get a football team Not important? Well, it is something that costs money and it got implemented That's something However, they tried to run things as they presently exist, bureaucratically, not student oriented. The function of SA should be to promote a better various state and local levels. 5. Disapproving of a major program named The Springer Committee report which requires to take five courses instead of four with no sensitivity to the problems we are now faced with environment, not to perpetuate itself. Dennis tried to do things, like drop out of SASU, but was thwarted by the Senate But now instead of taking a stand on arming campus security, he's holding a referendum. A safe as far as adequate space. 6. They were able to work out peaceable minority with the various agreements organizations. Their failuas are: 1. Dennis Delia's Administration failed to see him through the completion of the academic year 2. There was no Course Description Handbook provided by the Student Association method but not one to improve things fast. this semester. 3. They failed to force the administration to reallocate funds for the existence of a day care center 4. They failed to act upon Student FSA price hikes. 5. Finally I feel that there was great disunity on the part of the Student Association. If there wet a unified organization it would have been —continued on page to— Another thing that Dennis has done that environment is not preserved sense of despair pervades the campus since no improvement is foreseen in the visible future." This, combined with the failures of Student Association and IRC to fulfill their roles of providing a means of social interaction among students at this University would indicate that the "quality of student life" is at a very low university important one I consider good is his report on the construction at Amherst. A report that tells the current financial story is essential to making prudent decisions. 3. What specific steps should be teken to strengthen students' role in decision making at point The social/cultural aspect of this situation could be remedied by having Student Association sponsor an active schedule of social events, such as Spring Weekend, Octoberfest, open air concerts in the Spring, Summer and Fall, and beer blasts. Student Association should also work in close conjunction with IRC in sponsoring dorm events. In addition, more commuter activities, such as an increasing number of commuter breakfasts should be programmed by SA. with the Dealing academic/intellectual component of student life would be a much more complicated process. The two top priority items are the completion of the Amherst Campus and the forcing of the administration to allow students more academic life. input into decisions affecting 2. What were the major successes and failures of last year's Student Association and how would you evaluate the role played by Dennis Delia? The failure of Student Association to play an active adverserial role the University to Administration has been the present Student Association's most noticeable failure over the last year. Other areas in which SA has been less than effective have been in maintaining SAIs responsiveness and accessability to their student constituency, failure to achieve a smooth working relationship with SASU, non-publishment of the SCATE booklet, failure to maintain the off-campus housing office, and ineffectiveness in supporting the four-course this University, particularly in academics and services provided by the University? The biggest stumbling block in strengthening students' role in decision making is the student body is not cohesive enough or well informed enough to have any solid opinions to push for. What is needed is a committee that's functidn is to collect objective information and to publicize it. One part of the committee would be devoted to the advertising of meetings and forums to the public, so that interested students could attend. load. Two issues in which this past year's Student Association has been effective in dealing with are the re-organization of Sub Board 1, making it more responsive to the particular needs of the th undergraduate student population and reestablishment of the football team on campus Dennis Delia's role in this year's Student Association was a major cause of the overall ineffectiveness of SA Dennis took a very —continued on page 10— —continued on page 10— students want. If students find it difficult to come to SA. SA should go to the students. There should be Open Forums with, incentives for attending, such at refreshments and even beer. The student leaders should also personally solicit information from the students, in cafeterias, in the dorms and by phone. Student leaders have the obligation to inform their constituency of what they are doing. A newsletter inserted in The Spectrum is possible Speaking to students in large classrooms and at events is also a conceivable idea Knowing students' desires and needs is eesential. Here are some of my ideas and thoughts to improve student life at UB: Since the recreational facilities here are inadequate (an understatement), by rearranging schedules and utilizing student volunteers, more general recreational hours might be made available for students. There should be more University wide activites that would appeal to many students such as beer blasts, outdoor concerts with local bands, etc. The new UGL is structured to be opened I want to see it open twenty-four hours a day. twenty-four hours. Better maintenance in the dorms is a must. Students should take an active role in accomplishing this. Health services must be increased at the Amherst Campus, Food Service should provide alternative food opportunities such as natural foods, on line, in machines, and on board. Food Service is a monopoly and if they won't •work in students' interest legal action should be brought against it. The student book exchange should definitely All it needs to produce it is revived cooperation among the SA members. Another good idea is to create a literary magazine through Sub Board, utlizing the great talents of our be English Department. Reinstituting the Off-Campus Housing Office is absolutely necessary, especially with the dwindling dorm space. More activities should be planned and in the morning and afternoon (tours. Since bus tokens are usually sold out in a day and a half, I would like to see the program expanded considerably. Commuters should be more involved in the University's affairs. Serious consideration should be given to possibly hiring a permanent SA researcher-advisor to facilitate information gathering and continuity over the years in the SA office.

The only problem with that is that his administration failed to accept his leadership. He is a person with welt defined ideas and that is an important quality of a leader. The difference with my administration is that I wilt give the students more of a voice in the happenings of my administration in my term as Student Association President. ,> 3. What specific steps should be taken to strengthen students’ role in decision making at this University, particularly -in academics and services provided by the University? The steps I would take to strengthen the students' role in decision making at this University, particularly in academics and services provided by the University, would be to notify the administration that they are not dealing with high school students. We as University students carry just as many responsibilities as they do in our respective fields. We have to let them know that we are 25,000 voices strong and we are not to be ignored. Another step that could be taken would be to provide batter means of communication of matters of concern by way of The Spectrum, or a University newsletter linking the University students with the academic administration and through the services that now lack student participation. We must make our voices heard. Maier —continued from page 9— . Also, I favor making executive meetings more like forums, and inviting students to come and present their views. Unifying student's ideas about policies and then publicizing meetings concerning thosy policies so students interested know what’s happening is an important step in increasing school response to our needs. FSA is supposed to have student input to policies but when meetings are held that no students knpw about, how can we expect to improve things? Mott —continued from page 9— . dictatorial attitude in his dealings with the Executive Committee and the Student Senate: this attitude has been responsible for much of the animosity among members of these bodies. This among of Dennis's infighting members administration has diverted .energy that could have been channelled more constructively. 3. What specific steps should be taken to strengthen students’ role in decision making at this University, particularly academics end services provided by the University7 One step that could be taken to improve the students' traditionally weak role in the decision ■ making process at this University would be the establishment of an advocacy or fact finding committee. This committee wpuld consist of a group of students earning University credit by completing a combination of independent reserach work and government. These interns working in conjunction, with a professional advisor would have two advantages over a full time staff of professional advisors. 1. The use of interns would allow more student input into decisions and encourage a broader based student involvement in Student Association decision making. 2. A combination intern/advisor program would be much more cost effective than a full time staff. This idea incorporating student would course credit allow/encourage participation by a large group of in student students previously uninvolved government. Until the institution of this or a similar proposal a large percentage of students will not even consider personal involvement in Student Association because of constraints on their time tied to the pressures df maintaining high grades. This proposal would allow Student Association officials to deal with the University faculty and administration on an equal footing in the sense that Student Association officials will now have at their disposal informational resources on par with the administration and faculty. The idea of a professional advisor hired with a multi-year contractual committment to SA would lend to the stability and continuity of Student Association, thus giving the Student Association the ability for the first lime with long term projects, projects that would carry over from one elected administration to the next.

These problems disrupted the working unity of the SA administration, and even led to resignation of the Executive Vice President, who felt stifled in his position. The lack of ability of people to work together was a major failure in my estimation Dennis Delia had a lot of good ideas, but the methods used at times are what I question. | think his direction was a little too narrow; and he Sinkewicz exclusively for —continued from page 9— . Amherst construction. such a researcher could be very useful. The push for Amherst construction has to be harder than ever, especially during the election year. But, it has to be a unified coalition effort, not an individual effort. The Faculty Senate should, and if I can help it, be pushed to teach more effectively They complain that we, the undergraduates, do not have a quality education, but they put all the blame on Albany and the Ketter Administration They should analyze themselves and work on deficiencies and their own their own departments. Incidentally, 1 think that arming security would not imrpove the quality of life at UB. Above all, I feel an open administration is a must, open to all innovative thoughts and ideas 2. What were the major successes and failures of last year's Student Association and how would you evaluate the role played by Dennis Delia? year’s successes of last SA Major administration include such things as bringing back the football team and stabilizing the athletic budget Guaranteeing student activity space at Squire Hall for two years, and the fact that SA is now further controlling Sub Board are accomplishments. Also students now more than ever before have input, if not strong input, on many academic task force and search committees There are a number of other successes that, though done by last year’s SA, will probably not be realized until some future date These include law suits for the Record Co-op, and Group Legal Services, and the physical restructuring of UB for the handicapped. UB will also have a yearbook, the Buffalonian We now have an intern from SASU to lobby for the Amherst campus: but the method used to achieve this, in my opinion wasted a lot of energy and could have been done exclusively in a different manner Even though a four course change seems I do not view this as a defeat for SA inevitable, may have had tried to do too many things by himself The construction issue, probably the most important issue at UB, should not have been made an individual effort. I think a collective effort of the whole University plus the local businesses and banks putting pressure on Albany would have more effectiveness. 3. What specific slap* should be taken to strengthen students' role in decision making at this University, particularly in acadamics and services provided by the University? First of all, the student government has to make sure that students, who are elected and appointed on University committees, not only attend but are vocal, expressing the students point of view. If they do not, then they should be replaced. Secondly, I would like to push for a University Council, which would be comprised of a certain fixed percentage of students, faculty members and administrators, like at SUNY Binghamton. The Council, with the three constituents makes joint decisions effecting the University as a whole. Also SASU’s idea of unionization, or a student union, is a very plausible possibility. If it is organized and implemented correctly, could be very effective in putting pressure on the University to be more responsive to student needs. The union system works well in England, Puerto Rico and Canada Publicizing issues through the press is another way to bring pressure on the administration ar X, Hard* Z. attfi 3 Bote VOICE course in the’ field of student committee would be the ongoing evaluation of this project and further re-structuring of Student • -Daniels., YOUR OPINION ON WHERE AND HOW YOUR $67.00 WILL BE SPENT VOICE YOUR OPINION ON WHO WILL BE YOUR GOVERNMENT LEADERS If you don’t voice YOUR OPINION now, Don’t Shout About it Later... m Paid for by your mandatory student fees.

In the peat, approached have representatives student administrators, attempting to convince them of the correctness of the student point of view; the same time these student while at representatives were ill-acquainted with the point of view they were trying to get across. Not only most the Student Senate gain the respect of the Executive Committee to operate as an effective organization, moreover it must gain an the respect of the University administration administration characterized chiefly by its insensitivity towards the needs of its student body. That respect is not forthcoming; this applies not only to the Student Senate, but to the entire Student Association. The Student Association, and especially its Executive Committee seemed to be very reluctant to stand up to the administration this year when students' needs were being ignored. Apparently they chose to work "with" rather the faculty to hava students' voices heard and change in general. If the normal channels of student input are blocked, then the possibility exists for a mass action response. Such a response could only be effective if it is well organized, well publicized, and it has a lot of "grassroots" support. Depending on the issue and its complexity, different tactics must be used, i.e., letter writing campaigns and boycotts and anything that annoys or disrupts your opponent to get your point across. People have power in numbers. — EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT of each group Based on this understanding the groups can conceptualize and implement on-going necessary to develop an relationship which is pragmatic and functions in the best interest of students. This approach may be theoretically sound but at this point, unproven by previous administrations of SA Therefore, in the absense of a shining example of a smooth working relationship, we seek viable two steps alternatives. The real question then becomes, will elected officials act as their outlined duties mandate or in their self-interest? The mechanism is immaterial at this point. The heart of the issue is, whether or (elected individuals chosen not those or otherwise endowed) act as representatives of the undergraduate student body The rhetoric of r -organization abounds during election time and Mike Niman 1. How can a smooth working relationship be maintained between the SA Senate and the Executive Committee so that the proper balance of power is assured? These questions are absurd, they don’t deal with the issues, they deal with evading the issues, but they do deserve an answer. The SA Executive Committee must maintain a solid working relationship for a powerful student force to be maintained. Internal bickering of the sort that has plagued student government must end. It only divides students and weakens our power as Students. When people act like people and not )[ like politick animals, they can work together. When they don't allow their egos to get in their way they can work together. We must work as a unified student force to regain control of our own goverment.

Specifically, how can the Executive Vice President and the President work together to insure maximum effectiveness and avoid what seem to be inevitable conflicts? There will be inevitable conflicts no matter who will be elected. The objective is to work together despite petty conflicts. We are students with the same purpose, to represent students, this ’.we must do despite assinine personality conflicts. A basic solution to many conflicts is to elect a party slate (e.g. epic, jfk, the, etc.). These package deals include a group of people who will certainly not oppose each other's views, but is this a representative government? A one party system, a controlling clique professionally packaged and sold to us like candy is sold to children. If that is what you want then go ahead and vote for it, relinquish student control for another year. This is our University and neither the administration or an elite group of students has the right to take it from us. Turner Robinson 1. How can a smooth working relationship be maintained between the SA Senate and the Executive Committee so that the proper balance of power is assured? Ideally, a smooth working relationship SA Senate and the Executive Committee begins with a clear, functional understanding of the duties and responsibilities between the SA Election Supplement is thereafter stored for revitalization in years to come. Action is the missing and key element in the smooth working relationship in question. This action has to grow and develop in accord with the level of consciousness of students and the ability of elected representatives to perceive what concerns students and respond in the best possible manner In order to maintian a relationship in government, parties must agree on the terms of relationship. Comprehensive political the awareness, e.g. government for course credit or representatives to use' pertinent course offerings as an aid The possibility of utilizing professional consultants, as suggested in an article jp The Spectrum is an innovative approach. The list of suggestions could- cover volumes but the primary objective should be to provide the- best representation to all the students, all the time encouraging 2. Specifically, how can the Executive Vice President and the President work together to insure maximum effectiveness and avoid what seem to be inevitable conflicts? As officials assigned the responsibility of directing SA administration, the President and Executive Vice President must work in coordination. One canno/ function without assistance from the other and deal effectively with the problems confronting students on this campus. There are many ways in which the two officials can accomplish a reasonably workable relationship: i.e. 1. Have a clear understanding of the constitutional mandates of each office, 2. Maintain continuous communications in all matters concerning student government: 3. Minimize unilateral decision-making, use only as a last resort; 4. Stay in contact with student problems and seek remedies in a unified manner: 5. Provide directors and coordinators with resources necessary to develop good service delivery to students: 6. Coordinate efforts with Vice President for Sub Board I, Inc.: 7. Discuss reports to :he Executive Committee and Student Senate on a regular basis: 8. Develop a comprehensive plan, around student concerns together: 9. Seek supportive services and resources wherever available. These are a few suggestions which can make the jobs of both individuals more meaningful, but the essential element is developing a good working knowledge of the offices. Each official should attempt to be as well versed in his or her area as possible and continuously work towards a better student government. Karl Schwartz 1. How can smooth working relationship be maintained between the SA Senate and the Executive Committee so that the proper balance of power is assured? It would be naive to suggest that there would not be any disagreement during our entire tenure of office between Rich Mott (our party's candidate for SA President) and myself it our party was elected. However, differences of / opinion between the President and Executive Vice President do not necessarily have to be detrimental. If tfie two officers share a mutual admiration and for each other's respect administrative abilities, conflicts in certain situations can be advantageous. When differences of opinion can be resolved bv an open and nondefensive exchange of ideas, the synthesis that is created is often better than the decision that would have been attained had one side simply deferred to the other, I have worked administratively with Rich in the past and our professional relationship is characterized by an respect of each other's point of view. Conflicts become detrimental when genuine communication between officers is cut off, or openmindedness towards, and ' ego gratification becomes a prime when motivation for an officer's involvement. The effects of such conflicts can be devastating to the operation of student government (witness the situation th£(t erupted this year between Dennis Delia and Andy Lalonde) and wastes the time of the Student Association, which becomes involved in the situation There are vital issues that our Student Association must deal with: personality conflicts such as these serve only to stagnate the operation of student government. The lines of communication between Student Association officers must remain open, and each candidate should evaluate his/her personal motivation(s) for his/her involvement. If the motivation lies in self-glorification, then perhaps the candidate seek employment elsewhere. To do otherwise would be an Injtglice to the Students at this University. Our executive titles do not give us the right to waste the time of Student Association. should The five candidates running for executive positions in our party have discussed in detail the issue of potential disharmony among ourselves. We recognize that we are not going to be united on every issue, and that the more receptive we are towards each other, the more effective student government will be. In addition, we are committed to a restructuring of the formal procedure (rules of order) that is presently followed at Executive Committee meetings. The Executive Committee members ought to be able to carry on an open exchange of ideas and opinions without the constraint of rigid rules of order. This restructuring will further facilitate a more healthy, active and open atmosphere. An atmosphere I would like to see created in all of the Student Association organizations. than against our administration Unfortunately, they lost sight of the fact that "working with" does not have to imply "being to." which Student Association this year became. When the administration makes it clear that they are not at all concerned with what we perceive as a real need, it is essential that our* student leaders are not reluctant to put pressure on the administration So how is this accomplished? An advocacy or fact-finding committee should be established in Student Association. It would consist of a group of students, earning University credit, while working under the guidance of a professional advisor h(?ed by Student Association. The purpose of the committee would be to research and investigate any issue raised by an organization (such as a task force) of Student Association. This would give the student representatives a working knowledge of the issues they would be dealing with, and would place them on an equal footing with the traditionally better informed administration. All committee reports would be made public, and if it was determined that the students' interests were being dealt with unjustly, or were not being responded to, pressure could be placed upon the compliant administration by the public disclosure of all the relevant information to the issue. Our party is in the process of preparing a proposal of this kind to the Division of Undergraduate Education. Just as the Student Senate must not be turned into a "rubber stamping" body of the Executive Committee, so Inust the Student Association not be turned into a rubber stamping body of the University administration. VICE PRESIDENT FOR SUB BOARD 2. Specifically, how can the Executive Vice President and the President work together to insure maximum effectiveness and avoid what seem to be inevitable conflicts? fiVith the bulk of its representation coming from the three Task Forces (Academic Affairs. Student Affairs, Activities and Services), the Student Senate is the most broadly based organization in Student Association. As a result of the diverse orientation of each task force and the distinct perspectives of each task force representative, the Student Senate has the potential to be a productive forum, in which vital issues concerning all aspects of University life can be raised and discussed. It is imperative that the executive officers of Student Association allow the Student Senate to operate as a semi-autonomous, functional body. Although the structure and scope of the two bodies are different, the Executive Committee and the Student Senate are both organizations with important responsibilities which should never be abrogated. This must be clearly perceived by the members of the Executive Committee. The time for getting "power-play politics" out of student government is past due For the Student Senate to be viewed as a competent and responsible organization, it must be deserving of that reputation. In the past, important legislation has been proposed and passed, but never acted upon. In the past, student Steven Bason 1. How would you describe the Vice President for Sub Board role within SA and within Sub Board? More than you've imagined, Sub Board 1 determines the quality of your U.B. experience. The coffeehouses, movies, dental clinic, browsing library, human sexuality center are just a few of the vital organizations which are under the jurisdiction of the Sub Board. The Sub Board Vice President is the fundamental driving force for the smooth operation of Sub Board. Sub Board I appropriates the funds to its divisions. It is the life-blood of such organizations as Health Care, Housing. UUAB and GLS (Group Legal Services). It is up to the V.P. to see that these funds are put to the proper use. The S.B.V.P. is a voting member of the Executive Committee and Student Assembly. Because SA gives Sub Board 92 percent of its budget, it seems clear that the —continued on Wednesday, 1 March 1978 .

While I believe professional advisors can be of enormous benefit to students, by providing Information, transition, and permanence, we must exercise extreme care in scrutinizing, criticizing and understanding the contributions of these advisors to prevent their dangerous control of our organizations. I would make an enormous effort in my dealings on the Board and within SA to remove my decisions as much as possible from personal conflicts (bickering is not productive!). By maintaining an open mind, encouraging maximal input from those I work with, utilizing all resources available, and carefully planning those policies I choose to pursue (such as the absolute insistence upon no non-students being paid for jobs 2.

Because of this responsibility, it becomes necessary for the S.B.V.P. to extend his awareness beyond that of his own position, and be highly cognizant of the doings of the Executive V.P. and SA President. For the successful operation of Sub Board, the Vice President must be aggressive and competent, and anything short of that will add to the general dissatisfaction of the college community. concerned matters. Should the SA insist on 90 percent of the control, the implications of this plan would alienate the rest of the student government MFC, the Dental. Medical and Law schools. There must be a unified effort to overcome the University. Diverse difficulties facing this knowledge and the various perspectives are important for the complete success of the entire V student body. In the final analysis, SA does in fact exercise a greeter amount of control than is proportionately measured on the board. - , ’ m What is Sub Board? Throughout my campaigning efforts thus far this question has been the most frequent. The very fact that students at this University are unfamiliar with their own corporation, a corporation which utilizes over twenty dollars of our mandatory fees, emphasizes what I see as a major problem plaguing both SA and Sub Board. The issue of whether or not this fee should be raised to seventy dollars should not even be considered until the students at U.B. are convinced that the sixty-seven dollars they now pay are being spent efficiently and in their best interests. As far as undergraduate control on the Board of Directors is concerned this appears to be readily within our reach at present. Undergraduates make up five of the ten members (twelve if MFC returns this year and;institute thO'ffdy which is expected), real block of students op the Board. There is no evidence that the representatives from. _the graduate schools vote in consistent cooperation. While the monetary contributions from the various graduate schools on the board is small in proportion to SA’s, their experience, maturity and advice can be an invaluable tool to Sub Board's operations. To take away their voting strength would probably serve to alienate these other organizations and further divide the multi-divisional structure of this University, which at present is struggling to remain a cohesive force. A united University community is essential in order to maintain the educational environment and strengthen our opposition to an unresponsive administration. As a last resort, in the event that we are unable to benefit from the graduate students' participation we could then use our financial power to politically control the Board. At present I would work to improve Sub Board by strengthening SA's involvement, and striving to organize, encourage, gather and respond to student need and desire, in terms of vital Sub Board sponsored activities. Any programs presently being funded should be re-evaluated, as to their student participation and value. These evaluations should be used to support the amount presently being spent. It will be one of my major priorities to see to it that students are aware of how their money is being spent and have direct access to these financial considerations. Student government, before anything else, must be understood by. end responsive to the students at U.B. - of the Executive Committee of SA. I feel the need for a more visible, tangible and realistic tie between both organizations. Through being in SA this past year, I saw and realized the ups and downs and also the potential of the Corporation, I will attempt to bridge the gap between the business world of Sub Board and the student government world of SA, and bring both down, closer to the U.B. student population, as I have done with my present position in SA. represents about 90 percent of Sub allocation from the various student governments, should it receive commensurate representation on the Board of Directors and thus effectively control the corporation? What would be the implications of such a policy? 2. Since SA Board's Although, according to the by-laws passed this year by the Board of Directors of Sub Board, an organization may not have, a vote unless they appropriate 15 percent of their student mandatory fee budget to Sub Board, the numbers of representatives appointed to the Board of Directors of Sub Board from an organization represents the number of students the organization represents. So, to answer the question, yes, I feel SA should have controlling factors in. Sub Board decisions, but that is because SA's allocation to Sub Board exceeds that of the other organizations. It should also be mentioned that we have the largest single constituency on campus, so we would naturally have the bulk pf student feelings to express. This is not to say that the other student governments such as MFC, GSA, Med, Law and Dent have no voice. Their allocation to Sub Board should and will represent what services they receive in return. What this all boils down to is that Sub Board could exist with just SA alone, but it is not in existence for that sole reason. Student services should be open and offered to all, that pay the mandatory student fee of $67. One must remember that the corporation is a two-fold process: Accounting and services, and there is a thin line that separates them. The SA representatives next year must decide where the line is drawn and make decisions that are agreeable to the rest of the organizations involved. If we take control of the reins, we still must be responsive to the general populace needs. The implications, if any, would be of a minute nature if personalities and business do not mix, unlike with this year's Board. What the final outcome will be is. what monetarily the organizations put in, they will get out. As V.P. for Sub Board, I would advocate the fairness between organizations involved while looking out for the undergraduates' needs. The results? A solid, cohesive atmosphere in the Corporation.

The Vice President for Sub Board's responsibilities within Student Association are by definition two-fold. Consequently, any success I rMght achieve once in office would have to be evaluated in terms of both roles. The more obvious eree of my involvement would be my direct dealings with Sub Board, through the Board of Directors. Secondly, I would participate through an active role as Vice President on the Executive Committee. Within Sub Board itself, hopefully as chairman of the Board, I would organize meetings and strive to influence the Board so at to achieve optimal productivity. Through my influence In SA I would encourage the appointment of competent, intelligent, and articulate undergraduate representation On the Board. It would be crucial that I act as a Mason between SA arid its policies, and the direction of the activities under Sub Board. Sub Board receives the majority of irt funds directly from SA, therefore it is a must that input from SA be communicated dearly and regularly to those on the Board of Oirsetors. Working closely, with 82 percent of Sub Board's allocated budget. feel, as many others do, that SA needs to be more involved in Sub Board decisions, as in essence, Sub Board is an outgrowth of the Student Association. This is where the Vice President for Sub Board enters the picture, as this person is the official liason between SA and the Corporation. The V.P. for Sub Board is a member of the Executive Committee of SA and also a member of, the Executive Committee of Sub Board. As such, he should take an actiVe role not only in the functioning of Sub Board, but also in SA. Too often, the V.P. for Sub Board becomes too caught up in the workings of the corporation and fails to meet his responsibilities as a member up nearly lWs responsible for keeping the information flowing between these two immense organizations. However this year the new Vice President for Sub Board will probably be made chairman of the Board of Directors and have even more influence than ever before. I know that I am the only qualified candidate running for this position! None of the other candidates have the vast amount of practical corporate knowledge that I have gained from being a member of the Board of Directors of I.R.C.B. (the two corporations are very similar). As a member of the Board of Directors, I have inefficient fought against corruption and accounting procedures. It was from some of my demands that there has finally been some positive change in I.R.C.B. As an SA Senator, member of Student Affairs Task Force, and also a member of Speakers Bureau, I have the SA knowledge that will also be required of me. As Vice President to Sub Board, one of my priorities will be to see that student interests are always maintained out at Parcel B the Arnhem Mall. There should not be any Cavages there; or any other record store either. I have based my campaign on ten essential goals for the new Vice President for Sub Board: 1. Improve the Amherst Campus health facilities. It is very important for there to be more space for the doctors in addition to more - hours. 2. Move the Sexuality Clinic out to Amherst on a part time basis. 3. Create a Sub Board Travel Service to aid commuters and for trips abroad. 4. Institute an immediate ticket refund policy of cancelled campus events through Sub Board's ticket office. make 5. Drop mandatory health insurance - it voluntary. 6. Create a campus magazine. We need an alternative to The Spectrum. 7. Obtain a liquor license for Sub Board stop the FSA monopoly. 8. Reorganize the Sub Board banking office - to save money. 9. Improve Off Campus Housing it's a joke the way it isl It you elect me these goals can be a reality. I will not sway from this policyl Undergrads must get the most out of our money. We can and we — will) 2. Since SA represents about 90 percent of Sub Board's allocation from the various student governments, should it receive commensurate representation on the Board of Directors and thus affectively control the corporation? What would be the implications of such a policy? Presently SA controls Sub Board I because it has a majority of votes on the Board of Directors. SA does not need 90 percent representation on the Board of Directors because under most circumstances the SA view prevails. The only time that our view does not prevail is when there is a disagreement among the SA Board of Directors. In those cases I feel it is good that there is dissention because it reflects an undergraduate division on a Sub Board issue. It is also good that we always have graduate representatives and representatives from the professional school to add a more mature view. If we decided to push for 90 percent control of Sub Board then me mould be spiting ourselves. Because in this case the graduate school, Lam School and Med School mould withdraw from Sub Board as MFC and the Dental School have done previously. Then we mould lose at least $30,000 in subsidy from these governments. SA pays the most money and that is why we have a majority on the Board. There is ijp reason though to start a war between us and our sister governments. The entire concept of Sub Board is that all student governments will work together as a group for the benefit for all. The implications of SA's control over Sub < SA Election Supplement �Board i( beat exemplified by tha destruction of Ethos magazine. The SA Senate by a very dote other top SA officials, and most importantly from within the various clubs and organizations which receive funding. SA is ultimately responsibleto the students. I feel that restoring the confidence now lost should be one of the major goals of the new SA off icers. Once this has been done, once the students no longer feel that, "their money is being thrown around." and if at that time a valid argument can be made for increasing the fee, then and only then should SA proceed with efforts to do so. The key is student confidence. Only when each and every student can confidently say that he/she is getting more, yes more, than his/her $67 worth, only then can an increase in the fee treasurer, vote of 12—11 decided to destroy Ethos and put the money into special interest publications. The Senate mandated its Sub Board representatives to vote that way. Ethos was destroyed. Supposedly undergraduate interests prevailed. I feel that there should be a campus magazine. Ethos obviously was not what was needed. Now we will give students what they really want. We must have an alternative to The Spectrum and give to the students a second opinion. In conclusion Sub Board I needs an innovative female to bring to it new, creative ideas. Although running independently may be a hindrance, only by electing me can we achieve these necessary changes. TREASURER acitivity fees. If it did, everytime there would be an SA deficit the students would have another increase. I feel that if the Student Association is run correctly, the fee of $67 is quite sufficient. In the past there have been many student referendums in relation to the specific amount. Should it be $67, or $70, or for that matter, $100? The exact amount of fees that should be paid is not the real problem. When these increases in fees were defeated by the students, SA blamed it on student apathy. They said that the students didn't understand the problem (which SA claimed was inflation). I feel the exact opposite of SA. Students understood the problem better than SA did. If SA would allocate its funding correctly in accordance with the needs of the student body, I feel that the mandatory fee of $67 which we are now paying will be sufficient. There exists, as t have previously mentioned, problems dealing with the job of treasurer. In addition to making criticisms, I feel I can suggest some solutions. At the beginning of the year the SA Treasurer had only one meeting with all of the various treasurers That was the first and last time such a meeting was held. I feel that scheduling monthly meetings will alleviate specific Sean Egan 1. Considering the financial constraints of SA this year, do you feel the mandatory fee should be raised to $70 and why? If present SA services are to continue, it is essential that the activity fee be increased to the legal limit of $70. The funds available for student use have declined recently as a result of two factors. Full time enrollment at U.B. has been declining over the past few, years. This year's enrollment figures were estimated at 13,000 full time equivalents (FTEs), but are in reality closer to 11,783. This overestimation has resulted in the present treasurer announcing the possibility of a 14 percent revenue shortfall, thereby further constraining SA fund organizations. Another reason for the decrease in funds has been inflation. Although the dollar amount paid by each student has remained the same, that dollar buys less each day. With inflation running at about 7 percent per year, one dollar in 1968 (when the fee was initiated) is worth only about $.51 now. Despite SA's financial constraints, I believe there are several areas where the students’ money can be better spent. Students were forced to wait almost a full semester for the Student Directory, only to find that half of the phone numbers were wrong. The book exchange wasn't held this past semester, forcing students to spend as much as $25 more for new books. The Course Description Handbook appeared, and SCATE never compelling students to make uninformed decisions. These areas I have mentioned don't represent very substantial amounts as far as the budget is concerned, but are very important services which SA can and should offer. 2. If it were within your power, how reapportion funding, i.e. in what areas would you would you increase and decrease funding? If it were within my power, I would do all that I could to provide as many tangible benefits as possible. However, the treasurer does not have the power to make such unilateral decisions The Financial Priorities recommendations on prepares Committee fee expenditures and presents these recommendations to the Financial If approved, those recommendations are reflected in the annual budget, which is prepared by the FinanceCommittee. The budget is then brought before the Financial Assembly for final approval. I am Assembly for much of the communication problems that have plagued SA in the past. Another problem that exists is the fact that the students don't pay the mandatory fees on time It is the treasurer's job to oversee that payment is promptly made thru the medium of creating an effective incentive program. This concept used by other univiersities and colleges will prove very successful. I am presently in the process of researching the consequences and productivity of applying my new concept at U.B Basically this program will be presenting to students a discount card for all SA sponsored events with the stipulation that the student pays the $67 before the deadline I am confident that such an incentive program can be successfully established in this University. This is a brief outline of some of my initial ideas It is the obligation of the Student Association to properly utilize the $67. If this is done, the $3 Finance Mitchell Nesenoff 1. Considering the financial constraints of SA this year, do you feel the mandatory fee sho ifd be raised to $70 and why? To begin with. Student Association's financial problems should not affect the increase of SA Election Supplement 2, If it wera within your power, how would you reapportion funding, i.e. in wdist areas would you increase and decrease funding? As treasurer of the Student Association I would appropriate funds according to the needs of the various dubs and organizations. The allocations to Athletics and Sub-Board I are basically constant. The other allocations would be appropriated according to the activity and production of the different groups. The organizations that would receive increases would be the ones that have planned and executed their functions adequately according to the needs and wants of all the undergraduate students attending the University. The dubs or organizations that insure reductions would be those that had ineffective planning in the previous year. Fortunately in appropriating the funds of the the Student in Association, the choice would not be totally mine. I would depend highly upon the opinions of the students on the Finance Committee hoping that they would fairly represent the student body. As treasurer, I would concentrate on keeping my office fiscally functional and out of financial indebtedness groups receiving funds affairs. In response to the question: How would I I answer: Make known to reapportion funding? — the students where their money is going and let them decide; after dll it is their money. Instead of SA telling students hdw to spend the money let's .have the students tell SA! DIRECTOR OF ACADEMIC AFFAIRS increase (to $70) will not be a necessary levy. 2. If it were within your power, how would you reapportion funding, i.e. in what areas would you increase and decrease funding? The process currently being used by SA for allocation of funds involves a hearing before the financial committee. After alt organizations have been heard, the financial committee makes a budget proposal to the financial assembly. This system is deficient in certain respects. There have been no specific guidelines in deciding why an organization should receive a certain amount of money As treasurer, I will attempt to set up specific guidelines, with the main objective of making each organization more efficient and responsible. Every organization must submit an itemized account of where their past funding has gone Also included will be specific events that will be planned for the future year. This will enable the organizations to budget their funds more efficiently. An organization’s funding should be decided by how responsible and effective the individual organization is to the students at U.B. approval. presently a member of both the Committee and Financial Assembly. undergraduate populace and it mill greatly enhance the performance of the Student Association by giving all allocated clubs and organizations a larger budget to work with so that the quality of their performances could improve. The value of the dollar is constantly on the negative decline and what $67 financed in 1968 is far from adequate in 1978. It is time that me as students realize that me have to give a little to get a lot. 2. If it were within your power, how would you reapportion funding, i.e. in what areas would you increase and decrease funding? A complaint common among students at this University is that they pay $67 in mandatory student fees, and get little, repeat, little, in return. I ask: Where is all this money (over going? Surely we should get $880,000) something more for this sizeable sum. The Student Association must open up to the students. One way of doing this is by letting them know where their money is going. As treasurer I would consider it my personal responsibility to see that this is done. If SA can place ads in The Spectrum for every event which they sponsor, many of questionable interest at best. I am confident that they could place an ad detailing the uses to which the mandatory fee is being put. Surely this would be an item of interest to every fee-paying undergraduate. What I am suggesting is an itemized statement, to printed in The Spectrum listing each and every organization funded by mandatory fees and how much each receives. I do not accept the premise that students at this University lack the intelligence to seriously examine such a statement Only when the student body knows where its money is going can it decide if those funds are being equitably distributed. Opening up in this manner will promote greater involvement in SA 1 be considered. Mark Satinsky No statement submitted see letter to the editor in Feedback column on editorial pages - Rebecca Tabb 1. Considering the financial constraints of SA this year, do you feel the mandatory fee should be raised to $70 and why? I feel that it is time the fee was raised to $70. SA is working on a skeleton budget at it is. The extra three dollars won't break the backs of the Fred Wawrzonek 1. Considering the financial constraints of SA this year, do you feel the mandatory fee should be raised to $70 and why? The Student Association is now faced with a crisis perhaps unequalled in its history. A sense of apathy pervades the campus and SA's popularity has sunk to a new all time low. Considering this fact, an increase in Mandatory Student Fees cannot be justified at this time. Until faith has been restored in student government, students cannot be expected to shoulder another burden especially in light of the serious economic difficulties which exist of the national and even world level. While it is true that SA was beset with problems this year due to economic constraints, an increase in the fee will not and in fact cannot alleviate the difficulties. The simple fact of the matter is that resources are limited while desires are infinite. If the fee were increased to $100 (which at this time exceeds the legal limit), I am someone could find valid reasons for increasing it to $103. What is then called tor is fiscal responsibility on the part Of the SA sure Sheldon Gopsteln Do you favor a four of fiva course load? Explain tha academic merits of your position and describe what you would do to insure that your views weigh heavily in whatever policies are adopted on tha hour issue. Before I specifically address question that was posed to me by myself to the staff, I will make some brief comments in order to lend some insight into my perceptions of the situation that we students are confronted with every day. Obviously we've got some problems. Anyone who rides the buses between campuses, or can't find a quiet place to study at night, or wants to get in shape (but the gym facilities are more constraining than helpful), or needs some quality academic advisement, or finds their department losing its accreditation will surely attest to that. I share with you the frustration of attending a University that has been literally fragmented by foulups, whether they be in Albany or here at U.B. This has left the students administrative —continued on page 14— Wednesday, 1 March 1978 The Spectrum Page thirteen . . I The Spectrum ! | �from pm IS— caught in a hideous bureaucratic bind. It is now our and only our responsibility to pace through this web of uncertainty and to make our years here at U.B. rewarding and enjoyable. Regarding the cradit/contact hour issue I've bean to various meetings and have read several reports and have concluded that the faculty and administration, in students, should a conjunction, go ahead with comprehensive evaluation of the undergraduate division, department by department, course by course if necessary. Once they have achieved some level of consistent quality among the various departments, including the Colleges, they Should go on to study the feasibility of implementing a General Education Plan. This should entail a voluntary series of specially constructed courses that would be available to the student outside the major field of study. It would round out his/her academic education by providing a broad base of knowledge to complement the in-depth major field studies. Then, and only then, should we switch to the more conventional one credit/one contact hour — Anyone who can honestly say to me that given the present circumstances at this University at this time, students would benefit from a switch to a five course load either has a bad case of the Russion flu or has been to the Brick Bar one too many times. It is absolute delusion to even think of switching to a five course load when 60 percent of the Amherst Campus remains on paper! To insure that my views are seriously considered by the administration and faculty, I will immediately, upon gaining office, contact the key participants in the decision-making process (Dr. Bunn, Or. Reichert, Dr. Doynow, Dean Kunz, Dr. Ketter, etc.) and establish rapport with them. I will let them know who I am, what I'll be doing as Director of Academic Affairs, and where 1 stand on the issues. In addition, I will schedule regular meetings with them and ask to be kept informed of all significant proceedings. Probably the most important thing I must do is to insure adequate student representation on all major academic committees. I personally plan to be on the Faculty Senate's General Education standing committee which is in. the process of being formulated. But I can't do it alone. I must receive support from my fellow SA members and from ,. you. Please vote in the upcoming election, and feel free to phone me at the SA office to let me kqow what you're concerned abbut and how you would like to see things change. Let's do it. view*, for we, the students make this Univarsity what it is. The many ways In which the five course load would hurt this institution saarh to 90 on and on. Already, Albany has cut 'our operating budget back and much of our heralded Amherst Campus ha* still not been finished. The idea of five course* would mean more facilities, classrooms, lecture halls, labs, etc., which we simply do not have the space for. A* a result, classes would be overcrowded and in a state of chaos. The teacher-student ratio would drastically increase, and the value of education here would go down. The four course toad would also allow the student more flexibility to get involved in activities outside the classroom. The "University experience" also includes getting involved in academic clubs, athletics, and social clubs. Without the hassle of worrying about that extra course, students will certainly enjoy the freedom and benefits of being an active member of some extra-curricular activity and at the same time become a well-rounded individual. Since it is you, the students, I represent, I will do everything in my power to represent you. To insure that our views are an integral part in whatever polciies are adopted, I will first become personally familiar with both the Faculty-Senate and administration. In dealing with these people I will not represent just another student, but rather the 25,000 undergraduates who attend this University. I will also keep in constant contact with the undergraduates whom I represent through various means. Students will be informed of what it happening through constant reports which will appear in our school newspaper. The Spectrum.

V In order to insure that my views weigh heavily in whatever policies are adopted On the four course load issue, I would first get in touch with SUNY at Binghamton and obtain a copy of their evaluation report on the four course load. Using the Freedom of Information Act, I would obtain a copy of all documents on why the four course load was originally adopted here. Than I would survey students and faculty members on their feelings on the Issue. Armed with these documents, I would meet with University President Robert Ketter to discuss the four course load and to obtain equal student representation on any committees that are hearing this matter. Equal representation would mean that there would be an equal number of students as faculty and administration members and that the students would have voting power equal to that of faculty and administration committee members. I also plan to meet with President of the Faculty Senate, Jonathan Reichert and the Faculty Senate to explain our (the students') views on the issue and to obtain a representative voice in the Faculty Senate. Finally, I would enlist the aid of The Spectrum and publish the times and places of all meetings on the four course load and would arrange , _ SA, don’t know how.

Now I feel it is my responsibility to get involved. peaceful demonstrations, if necessary. I feel also that with the present facilities at this school being what they are, the adoption of a five course load would cause an increase in both already crowded classrooms and in the amount of time spent traveling on the buses Being that the bus service is not as good as it should be, the increased load caused by a student's having to take an additional course would make travel totally unbearable. Therefore, with the aid of my fellow students, I plan to carry the fight for retention of the four course load and to make the administration responsive to our needs and desires. DIRECTOR OF STUDENT AFFAIRS Scott Jiusto How would you describe the duties of the Director of Student Affairs and what steps would you taka to generate more student involvement in Studant Association? The Director of the Student Affairs Task Force, as outlined in the Student Association constitution, is charged with working to safe-guard the "rights, affairs, welfare, and general interests of the student community." The possibilities under this broadly conceived task force are innumerable, yet the realities have unfortunately been meager. A creatively led Student Affairs Task Force could take immediate steps to deal with a number of specific problems. Dorm problems include inadequate (or Kathy Berger Dave Seltelman view, weigh heavily in whatever policies are adopted on the credK/contact hour iapa. As Director of. Academic Affairs, many questions and topics arise concerning academic matters, but my first priority to deal with will be important issue concerning the four or five course load. Even though the Faculty-Senate has endorsed the Springer Committee Report, which favors the five course load, if elected, I will strongly support and do everything possible to maintain the present four course load. Baing the highly competitive Univanity U.B. is, many students feel that carrying five courses would simply be too much and difficult to daal with, possibly causing a decrease in both grades and also knowledge actually absorbed. This would inevitably causa a decrease in the number of graduates whUe. at tha same time, increase the attrition rate among students.

I am in favor of retaining the four course load at the University of Buffalo, fo provide students with the academic freedom they need. The four course load allows students the opportunity to take courses that they might otherwise stay away from. There are many courses at this school requiring a substantial amount of laboratory or out of class time, possibly both. The four course load allows the students the extra time needed to complete thpir course work satisfactorily. College should be an experience in which the learning takes place both in and out of tha classroom. With a four courseToad, students have the time to participate in extra-curricular activities, such as academic clubs, intramural athletics, varisty athletics, or publications.

In order to act on such issues, the Director must have a functioning task force and subcommittees, first of all. (It is necessary to have students on the task force and committees who are really interested in discussing and then doing.) He/she must have knowledge on which persons or University agencies to approach on each subject and how and when to approach them to obtain needed information. The Executive Committee and the Student Senate (both of which the Director of Student Affair* is a voting member) must be kept informed of the topics at hand; the Director of Student Affairs should relate alt findings and actions taken within his/her area, to facilitate smoother operations of the Student Association.

Another reason might be that those who wish to get involved, to Dutia*; Tit# Director oyerly-adequate) heating, levying by Bell Telephone of a bogus $14 "installation" charge, lack of maintenance (e.g. elevator servicing), and over-booking of dorm rooms. Commuters face a variety of similar problems such as inadequate parking, and inefficient running of the bike compound. Larger more important concerns are the lack of library and gym hours and ah inefficient bus system. Another urgent problem facing students is the need to re-assert their right to control the Faculty Student Association (FSA). the organization which, designed to serve students, has instituted the highest board contracts in SUNY, payed below minimum wage to student workers, and raised bookstore prices. We hold the majority on the FSA Board, but students haven't exercised that power. These are problems which should and can be dealt with by the Student Affairst Task Force. The efficacy of Student Association in dealing with these problems lie in the realization of the inherent power Student Association has-in representing 13,000 students. In the recent past, however, a lack of leadership has lead to increasing student non-involvement. To get students involved in Student Association a number of steps can be taken immediately. These steps include; 1. Establishment of an SA Squire Hall outpost positioned on the main floor of Squire, publicized and available to students for questions, criticisms, and questions. The Student Affairs Director should be responsible for spending a number of hours each week at this outpost. 2.

No statement submitted - DIRECTOR OF STUDENT ACTIVITIES This past Spring semester, certain individuals decided it would be too much of a hassle to have a student book exchange. This, I feel, is a blatant dismissal of student needs on the part of Student Association. As part of my job, I would insure that this would never happen again. 4. Staging of issue forums. These must be well publicized and attended by SA leaders prepared to organize any interested students of Student Activities and would be working with the student I organizations to insure that all students are able to pursue individual goals and desires. I realize the bureaucracy and hierarchy involved with organizations on campus. I intend to move far away from this, and have the role of director one which would deal with student clubs. We must get on a grassroots level to make things work As Director Services, My final proposition to aid in the restoration SA effectiveness and legitimacy is the establishment of a Student Assocation Review Board charged with insuring that SA leaders, as paid employees of the students, perform their duties as outlined in the SA constitution. The of Review Board should be provided monthly with reports with all SA officials, describing recent activity of each indivudal committee or task force. The Board would be authorized to again. In revitalizing the Student Activities Task Force, I can see a way of creating a more cohesive student body through inter-club related activities, as well as campus-wide activities (as mentioned earlier). Making sure that students actually benefit tangibly from their student withhold pre-dotermined amounts of an individual's stipend for various infractions, eg. failure to attend required meetings, failure to call task force meetings twice a month, etc. activities fees will certainly help in creating a of unity. community of students with a sense Carlos Benitez from within the state Division of the Budget, one of the main reasons for construction delays. For these reasons, I think it would be SASU inappropriate to to lobby request extensively for the construction of the Amherst Campus. Since SASU It lobbying for construction on a state-wide basis, it is our responsibility as students at this University to work in conjunction with their efforts, through our SASU delegates, to work for the completion of this University. It will be the top priority of our SASU delegates. What innovations in activities would you advocate and what specific steps would you take a more cohesive community of to create students? The division between the two campuses is one of the most common problems set upon the students Students are generally optimistic about anything in the Ellicott Complex. I feel Amherst has a potential of uniting students through their modern facilities If students could have a common activity that would interest them An example of this strategy can be found in the current campaign to eliminate the mandatory "health fee." These efforts, in the form of a fee boycott, in conjunction with the efforts of SASU in Albany, has introduced the reality of the revocation of that fee. To evaluate participation in SASU, we must look at SASU as a whole, and whether there are benefits which merit our continued financial support and active participation. I believe there come out and participate in massive and have tun, I think the student population would unite within itself If we can use our Activities and Services Task Force to guild our ideas and goals, we could expand our common likes and dislikes. One of my ideas to initiate a more cohesive community of student would be a "fun event." That "fun event" would be an "Almost Anything Goes against then dorms, against Intramural" It we were to rely on our SA to lobby effectively in Albany, without the aid of SASU, a definite gap would develop in both information and action. Through its lobbying, SASU keeps a constant watch on the activities in our state capitol. It looks legislative and at all gubernatorial activities and evaluates whether student interests are involved. If so, they will act enough to groups Lori Pasternak How would you describe the duties of the Director of Student Affairs and what steps would you take to generate more student involvement in Student Association? The primary duty of the Director of Student Affairs is to lead the Student Affairs Task Force, which works on non-academic, student problems These problems can be anything from the overcrowding in dorm rooms on the Amherst Campus, to the horrendous parking situation on the Main Street Campus. For the past two years the Task Force has been relatively ineffective due to the prevailing laziness of its members Many issues are brought forward, but never completed. A way to interest and utilize the Task Force members would be to hold a "Grievance Desk" in campuses In addition, I also will implement the following: will conduct a survey of the student understand and establish activities of real concern and importance to the student 1 I population to community 2. Reorganize Student Activities and Services Task Force to include a broader base of student input and representation. 3 Task Force will issue a monthly publication of all activities available. the student union's Haas or Center Lounge, in which Task Force members would work to solicit student opinions and gripes The Task Force workers must become more accessible to the student body. The Director of Student Affairs also works directly with the Freshman Orientation program and Fail Orientation. My involvement as an Orientation Aide last Summer and this coming Summer has given me a good knowledge of Orientation, its process, its problems, and SA's participation in it. Better publicity of the Fall programs, and a more inspiring SA workshop would help. More importantly, the Director of Student Affairs should support the seven week (2VS day sessions) optional freshman orientation program to the proposed one week mandatory session fbr all freshmen. The advantages of the present system are obvious. It is important to keep freshmen from feeling like they're on a orientation should be an factory assembly line informative, enjoyable experience. A factor contributing to the lack of student involvement in SA is that most students aren’t aware of the pertinent issues affecting them. Open forums would relieve the problem, and as students become more informed they are more likely to participate. The Director should strive towards accessibility by holding office hours, and by improving the Squire Flail satellite SA office (room 261 most people don't even know it exists). It is imperative that the Director of Student Affairs publicize, and explain the purpose of the meetings, which could actually be Barry Rubin What innovations in activities would you advocate and what specific steps would you taka to create a more cohesive community of students? In recent years, the student body has been confused by the upsurge of major events; i.e. U.B. Olympics, the Winter Carnival. These large scale events necessitate complicated instructions, people tend to get lost i the shuffle. A move towards localized specific functions should be made. This idea however, does not intend to wipe the familiar, but confusing large scale out functions, only to diminish them in quantity the influx of off-campus In addition, functions interacting with the local community seems to be in need. These type of functions can give the U.B. student more of an identity to their school and can better relate to the Buffalo community A strong support by the next administration should be made for direct control of student fees. Monies are disappearing in the bureaucracy. The SA clubs are in the dark due to the lack of efficient lines of communication. The key here is communication or better stated, the lack of it. Specifically, some clubs representing foreign student groups are not fully aware of the current system of budgeting and acquiring the funds necessary to pay for their activities There has to be a better way. appropriately This constant surveillance of the legislature and the Governor*!? office provides services to member schools. These activities would be quite difficult and expensive to duplicate During this period of fiscal duress, SASU provides a united front to our state government and to SUtoY Central. In representing 27 member schools, totaling 350,000 students, SASU provides effective lobbying. More effective than if 27 different colleges and universities sent representatives down to Albany, periodically. SASU semes another purpose as well. It acts as a cohesive force within the state. The most effective means of achieving a desired goal is through our united efforts. These efforts must not only be present within this school, but within this state. Our SA officials, and our SASU delegates, must work to foster this sense of unity. SASU tries to accomplish this on a state-wide basis through the dissemination of information, and through their lobbying efforts in Albany. For these reasons, I believe it would be to our advantage to remain members of SASU, and give that organization our full support. SASU DELEGATES — — grievance sessions for any students to voice their The Student Affairs Task Force should direct itself, work on, and solve student problems and make every effort to involve the student population in that process complaints.

If not. why should SA remain as a dues paying member of SASU? If we were to ask SASU ta lobby extensively for the construction of our Amherst Campus, it would introduce the distinct possibility of a breakdown in the fragile coalition present within the organization. This disruption could very easily endanger the efforts of SASU, such as lobbying for construction, the modification of TAP and election law reform.

Knowing that SASU is a state-wide lobbying organization, it opens up lines of communication between students and the administrators. If SASU lobbies extensively for the construction of Amherst it should successfully influence the legislature to maintain SUNY cost at a somewhat stable rate. With a unified struggle SASU can give the legal right to collectively bargain with the SUNY and State Administration on behalf of all the students.

If students are to have easy access to affordable off campus housing, entertainment, and cultural facilities, the isolation of the Amherst tundra must be bridged by the promised rapid transit system.

Although it is the basic philosophy of SASU that the needs of the State University system supercede those of the individual campuses, because of the extreme situation at Amherst, which is affecting over 25,000 students, an exception to the general rule (as has occured in the past with Stony Brook) is . 1 March 1978 Should SASU James Ostrowski lobby extensively for Amherst construction? If so, how can it raeoncila these efforts with its stated goal of being a SUN Y-wide lobbying organization? If not, why should SA remain as a dues paying member of SASU? Of course, construction of the total, comprehensive Amherst Campus must be a preeminent concern of any student group claiming to represent the twenty thousand students here at U.B. To "let each become all he is capable of being," our Governor Carey must not be allowed to abandon his promise to complete the facilities our University needs. This must be SASU's top priority. And pushing Amherst construction is in no way at odds with the stated goals of SASU, nor should it be said this concern is one our state-wide SASU organization is incapable or unwilling to pursue. If in past years SASU has been less than vigorous in its lobbying for the new campus, that was the fault of our school's past to SASU, not the representatives organization as a whole. I am convinced vocal demands to SASU from our U.B. delegation will if we are loud, united, and not be ignored persistent (at we have not been in the past). SASU needs us as much aswe need them. As dues paying members of the SASU network, we are entitled to see some results for our money. And though not widely publicized (again, I believe, a failing of our past SASU representatives), SASU has had some success in Albany. For example, the group forced the Board -of Trustees by law to hold public hearing’s in Buffalo, registered over fifty thousand student voters across the state, and in 1977 successfully lobbied to add twenty-one million dollars to the SUNY -budget, thus averting a planned tuition increase. I Granted, tnuch more needs to be done and SASU is quite'' expensive; but a pull-out from SASU would only retard the students' rights cause, not advance it. Getting more money to complete Amherst construction is not the only financial lobbying SASU should undertake. Also very important is the need to persuade the federal government to fund Buffalo's rapid transit line, and extend it to Should SASU — lobby extensively for Amherst construction? If so, how can it reconcile these efforts with its stated goal of being a SUNY-wide lobbying organization? If not, why should SA remain as a dues paying member of SASU? The most important issue that faces U.B. today is getting the school built. This issue is of primary importance to the students. SASU's main concern should be to lobby for continued construction. One of the major complaints of Students is a lack of athletic facilities. Although the money has been appropriated for a field house, it has not been released by DOB. This lack of gym space has created havoc in the scheduling for Physical Education requirements. In the past year, lack of space has forced the change of PE requirements from senion to freshman, and now they are thinking of changing it back. This creates confusion in people’s scheduling of classes and disconcerting graduation requirements. Also, the lack of recreational facilities for both the student population and the athletic teams is incomprehensible in a university this site. This is one of the many construction projects that must be finished. SASU was originally formed as a union of all the students of the SUNV system. The goals of the organization was to be an effective lobbying group for students, figuring there was strength in numbers. Students would be more effective working collectively rather than individually. Even though SASU's stated goal is unity, you must push for your own school. We must convince the rest of the schools in SASU to support us in our effort in getting more money from Amherst. SASU is trying to do many good things. Fighting against the health fee, raising TAP awards, change of voter registration laws so you can vote in the place you live, if you live awey at school. These issues affect all the schools in the state, and are important. But the issue of construction is most important at U.B. We are the biggest fee payer to SASU, we should make sure we get our money's worth. This fs too important an issue to Just let it sit there. We must convince the other schools that it is in their own best interest tor them to lobby for the release of money from DOB. If not, we cannot continue to fully SASU. We cannot support an organization that refuses to support us. A pull-out from SASU should be our last resort, but if they refuse to help us, we should get out. We could use the money to hire our own lobbyist who would work for the things we want. The idea of SASU is a good one. It would be terrible for it to fail. But we must be forceful in our insistence to help us get construction funds. If am elected would work hard trying to convince SASU to help us in our struggle to get the funds, but if they won't, I would recommend getting out of SASU. I would be voting that the job. am running for would be eliminated. I hope I will never have to do this, but I will do whatever is in the best interest of U.B.

Bonelh Against Grover Cleveland widening To the Editor As a UB Highway employee and a Grover Cleveland I would like to address the University community and Jeff Lessoff about the Highway 263 pot hole relief problem. State Highway 263 consists of Grover Cleveland Highway (North Bailey to Hggert Road) and the highway name switches to Millersport Highway from hggert to Transit Road. The portion of Highway 263 from North Bailey to Sheridan Drive has had no attention, save patching, for over 25 years. This portion has required resurfacing and re-underconstruction for 10 years. The residents of Grover Cleveland Highway want and have requested that Highway 263 from North Bailey to Sheridan Drive be resurfaced including new underconstruction (or foundation) and that sewers along the highway be enlarged to accommodate rains and melting snow, thus eliminating the flooding problem (the Rosedale to l.ggert block, in particular). I have asked a good sampling of UB campus Blue Bird Company bus drivers as well as Metro Lockport bus drivers wjio travel Highway 263 if they feel Grover Cleveland Highway should be widened. They all have answered, “No, it’s plenty wide enough. It should just be resurfaced so as to stop the wear and tear on our buses and cars.” The State of New York Department of Transportation (DOT) wishes to widen Grover Cleveland because they can obtain the majority of the construction funding from the federal since widening is classified as construction. So, here is where the fault lies: New York State pays millions of tax dollars to the f ederal Government and a considerable share of this money is supposed to be returned to New York State tor highway improvement. But eligibility for road improvement is limited to road widening, new highways or new rapid transit lines. The State Highway Department has informed Jeff Lessoff, Executive Vice President of the Student Association, that they hopefo start widening Grover Cleveland Hwy‘. hy May 2S§»ie State DOT thru Jim Flemming likewise informed the Cover Cleveland Highway residents that they will meet with the residents before beginning any work on the Highway because of our opposition to the widening Jim Flemming has met with the G.C. residents and has agreed with them that widening of the road is not just necessary, immediate resurfacing and re-underconstruction. To the best of my knowledge the rerouting of Millersport around the Amherst Campus is to begin May 25. Somehow, perhaps -thru a petition and urgent requests of Kemp, Javits and President Carter, the Federal Government must be persuaded to immediately release funds for the reconstruction and resurfacing of Grover Cleveland at its present road width. This should make the State DOT happy, and the Town of Amherst as there will be no need for replacement of Niagara Mohawk power lines/ street lights. Marilyn Hutchings Stonewall Tu the Editor Perhaps a number of you reading this letter are subscription members of WBFO-FM, the public radio based at this University which just completed its seasonal week-long membership drive. Or perhaps you tune its diverse, occasionally to in round-the-clock programming. One of my favorite programs (in fact, I’ve become one of its hosts) is “Stonewall Nation” produced largely, but not exclusively, “by and for” the gay community. It has been broadcast for about five years now, and still is the only media “voice” for gay people in Buffalo. However, had you tuned in last Monday at 10:30 p.m., our regular broadcast time, you would not have heard “Stonewall Nation.” Once again, consistent with their past practice, the radio management took it off the air during WBFO’s membership drive, and replaced “Stonewall” with another program in this case, Amos ’n Andy. This was an unfortunate decision on the part of the radio management, in my opinion, reflecting well, I’m not sure what, exactly perhaps an obscured, “in-house” conception of who makes up the listening and subscribing audience; perhaps their discomfort at pitching for money around a frankly controversial program. Granted, one of the difficulties of radio work in general is establishing some sort of dialogue with one’s audience.

It is not a pain of the body, or even of the mind. It is caused by a disease for which I can only point to consequences in the external world: a venerable professor leaving amidst apologies, a graduating senior disillusioned with his struggle, a classics major who sees Socrates only as a qualification on a job application. When a particularly virulent form of this disease appears, my senses, though they be at the point of exhaustion, cry out in defense at the creeping leprosy. Confronted with the apparently endless energy of this outward form, the alive thing in me, the young and laughing thing takes courage against impending destruction and cries out, “Back! Back you harlot! Take your invidious subtlety and vacate this house!” My heart is pained in sympathy for those who feel the pain, for my own being is no less vulnerable to this creeping cancer, this malignant tumor which flourishes in our midst. This disease of despair. i cannot fathom the depth of my adversary. Unable to understand the disease itself, I can only attack one of its outward forms.

For this reason, a majority of this University’s students are more familiar with the nearby Record Theater, than with this educational institution The four year Liberal Arts college has upheld the Jesuit tradition since its founding in 1870. Although it has achieved an local reputation, Canisius faces the same problem outstanding other better known private institutions have experienced that of a declining enrollment. Admissions Director of - Penelope Lips explained that “as a result of our declining enrollment, we increased our recruiting in 1977. In addition to visiting high schools in Western New York, traveling counselors are throughout the State and in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New and Massachusetts.” What would attract an out of state student to Canisius? Lips maintained it had much to do with the school’s religious tradition, stating, “Students that come here are looking for that type of influence in their education.” Life at Canisius College is quite different than at this University. Enrollment totals about 4000 students and 90 percent of them are commuters. Any school with such a large proportion of commuters is bound to have a social somewhat strained atmosphere and this is true at tanisius. “Therp’s no question that people who come to classes in the morning are gone by one 6’clock,” observed one student. Jersey “buTTfie dorm residents have their own activities." Another added. “Just because the commuters leave doesn’t mean that the social life of this college goes with them.” This daily commuter exodus is considered to be general student apathy by some. For obvious reasons, commuters at Canisius are called "baggers” by dormitory students. The 400 campus residents or “dormies” make up the heart of the college's spirit and enthusiasm, noted Louise Lavere, Managing Editor of the college newspaper. The Griffin This energy also contributes support to the college’s athletic teams. At all Canisius home basketball games, a large and outspoken contingent of “dormies” can be found. Some of these spirited individuals have been known to drive to Wisconsin, have their car fall apart half way enroute, and still make it to see their team in action. Diverse lifestyles Often the social activities at the college coincide with the basketball schedule. ‘The Little Three Rivalry (Canisius, Niagara and St. Bonaventure) is quite big around here,” said Lavere. ‘There are always activities surrounding these games and the Alumni take them very seriously. People just seem more inclined to get together after games and go to places like The Locker Room, The Stuffed Mushroom or Allen’s Grill.” The diverse lifestyles of the student body has necessitated the formation of two organizations to social on sponsor activities campus. Serving the commuters is the Campus Programming Board, goal “The main of this organization activities is to sponsor to draw the commuter to campus,” said Student President Tom Buckel. “Whether we’ve been successful, as of late, is back WSC sponsored Women’s Day is set for March 8 here Editor's note: This is the Women 's Day. first in a three-part series on International International Women’s Day, a commemoration of working women’s struggles throughout modern history and an acknowledgement of their accomplishments, will be celebrated with events and movies on this campus March 8. Among those committed to the women’s movement, the general consensus is that the fight for better working conditions, equal pay, and different needs for various women is still very much a necessity. A brochure publicizing the upcoming holiday states, “We are urging all women of all races, colors and ethnic backgrounds to unite in a common bond of upgrading our roles in an oppressive society.” Members of this University’s Women’s Studies College believe two other important perspectives should be added to the commemorative day. They believe “it’s a working woman’s holiday which indicates that historically and universally women will soon be recognized as a substantial part of the workforce.” Also agreed upon by them is the fact that International Women’s Day is a celebration of the gains as well as a recognition of “how far we still have to go.” Liberation The history of the day goes back to 1856, when on March 8 women garment workers marched from “sweatshops” in New York City’s lower East Side protesting abominable working conditions and demanding a pay raise, establishment of a ten-hour work day, and equality for all women. They were beaten and dispersed by police in an effort to quell the protest. Four years later, in the same month, women formed their own union, which on March 8, 1908 staged another demonstration in the streets of New York. At this time, protestors called for an end to the sweatshops and child labor, and the right to vote. Although the march again ended in .violence, women workers had made their presence known. In 1910 in Denmark, at an International Socialist Conference, a resolution was passed which declared March 8 International Women’s Day in honor of the New York City women workers. The proclamation was achieved through the. efforts of Clara Zetkin who had long been Involved in working women’s liberation. a different story.” Representing the remaining ten percent of Resident the students is the Union Board the - legislative and social organization for residents. “A resident student at Canisius is under contract to live in the dorms for the entire four year duration of his education said here,” Dorm Director John Crabbe. “The Resident Union is a very strong organization and an important part of the students’ social life. We don’t have co-ed dorm facilities here and without this group, students would have a tendency to become isolated from the rest of the campus.” Occasionally groups the two co-sponsor activities, such as mixers and coffeehouses “There is a big split between dormies and baggers at this college,” said Lavere. “Dorm students are just more involved in school activities. I guess what it comes down to is that for eight months out of the year Canisius is their life. Most commuters have jobs and family responsibilities.” Student discontent? Due to the college’s Liberal Arts interests, Canisius offers a four-core academic system in which students are required to take courses from each faculty outside their particular majot.

According to Main Body President and Committee members Dan Kinley the major change would be the creation of the positions of two Activities Committee representatives to the Main Body who will be responsible for planning localized activities. He said, “Basically we’re trying to eliminate old ambiguities.” Currently, IRC has three Area Councils Main Street, Governors and Ellicott) and an overall Main Body government which share the burden of sponsoring activities and offering services. All three Area Council Presidents agreed that IRC was suffering from communication problems and that some type of reorganization was needed. However, the three Area Council Presidents disagreed with the amendments, questioning whether the changes were necessary. E'licott President David Hartzband believes the proposals were a step in the right direction. He said, “Area Councils should have limited budgets for recreational-type expenses. I don’t 'believe there are enough qualified people involved in IRCs Area Councils to spend the money.” Hartzband added that if IRC were - composed of “good, hardworking people, it work more effectively.” could,' • 1 by John M. Gliona Staff Writer Spectrum No improvement Both Main Street and Governors Presidents were not satisfied. Governors President Jim Kiligrew stressed that Area Councils should be concerned with more than the activities. Main Street President Brian Monahan said, “I don’t think the Main Street or Governors Main Street Secretary Donald Shore commented, “Main Body showed it couldn’t handle what money it has. We have proven our effectiveness this year, given the limited budget and financial constraints we had to work under.” Another proposed amendment would change the office of Vice President for the Inter Residence Council Business (IRCB) from an elected to an appointed position. Kinley believes this amendment would help ensure that the person is qualified. Kiligrew disagreed, saying, “Personally, I am against it. There has been a growing rift between IRCB and IRC that needs to blf'heaRif.'ldon’t think this is the right solution it will not hejd the rift.” The proposed constitutional amendments will be put to vote at the next Main Body meeting which will be held Sunday at 3 p.m. *Daniet S.

Page nineteen �*■» Number one wrestlers win Buffalo, the number one ranked wrestling team in Division III completed its impressive 21-12 win over Clarion State at Clark Hall. After Friday’s easy 29-12 victory over Binghamton, the Bulls conclude with a 13-3 season. The UB squad was very pleased with its team ■ effort to ground the Bald Eagles. The team was aroused by senior Frank Massero (142 pounds) when he attained an escape point to win with one minute left in the bout. Massero, although he has only been working out with the~team for one month, has been a great inspiration to the entire team, claimed Buffalo coach Ed Michael. Although the Clarion match was the last home match for Buffalo’s seniors, there was little despondence. Co-captain Kirk Anderson said he was elated that he would not have to make weight in Clajk Hall again. Co-captain Bruce Hadsell did not feel the event as important because there are still ; tournaments to be won. The only one who viewed the final match as being sad was Anderson’s mother. “But we’ve got more,” she added In the match against Binghamton, freshman Mike Jacoutot (118), Ed Tyrrell (134), and Paul Grandits (167) qualified for the Division 111 Nationals, securing a nine member team to represent UB at Wheaton, Illinois this weekend. The team’s five seniors will make a final attempt at All-America status, as they will compete against members from more than 300 schools. The tournament will begin early Friday with elimination bouts consisting of three two-minute periods. The tournament will require excessive strength and alertness from each participant as it might be necessary to wrestle six to eight matches in each of the two days. With Buffalo seeded number one, there is the hope that wrestlers can win it all. Also, many squad members do not wish this weekend to be the end of the season, as they hope to qualify for the NCAA Division I Championships, which will be held at the University of Maryland in two weeks.

They duelled as if every jab could win a war and every missed parry might mean their head. The fencers Jon Solomon started the Bulls off with a quick 5-0 win over A1 Lesser, Finally having recovered from a bout with the flu, Solomon rarely missed the entire afternoon and only gave up two touches. match, his second In Solomon's opponent pierced his suit and cut his upper right thigh. Usually, the weapons slide off the resilient uniform, but, said Solomon, “he caught a fold in the material and it went clear through Smiled assistant coach (ilen Miller, “Any closer and it could have hurt a lot more!" " Coaches duel, too Throughout the match, RIT's coach and UB's director repeatedly exchanged harsh words concerning procedure and official calls. At one point, RIT nearly had to forfeit the matches of their star foiler because he was wearing attire, improper but Buffalo assistant coach Jules Goldstein agreed to relax the rules In the epee, UB's strongest event, Tim Rogers, recorded wins in his first two bouts, both of them going into overtime. Rogers Women’s Softball meeting March 4 The newly formed women's varsity softball team will hold an organizational meeting on Friday, March 3 at 4:30 pm. in the small gym of Clark Hall. All women interested in trying out for the team should attend. The team will play a 15 game schedule, including seven doubleheaders beginning April 7 against Genesee Community College The slate is dominated by local competition Niagara, Canisius, Erie Community College, Niagara Community College, Houghton, Gannon, Hilbert and Brockport Liz Cousins, who is presently guiding the women’s basketball team will coach the softball Royals Cousins is well qualified for the job she once played professional softball for the Buffalo Breskis of the International Women’s Professional Softball League. She plans to field a 20 member team She will only have three weeks to organize the team before the Spring break Coordinator of Women’s Athletics Betty Dimmick is optimistic about Buffalo’s newest intercollegiate sport “There’s a great deal of interest in softball [at this school),” she commented “We have seasoned players from the recreational leagues She expects this year to be a growing, developmental season for the sport — ” notorious for his exciting comeback wins and usually generates the most enthusiasm from the spectators, “I could have beat him |RIT's Bob Rustic] 5-0 if I kept my arm straighter,” said Rogers. “We had a lot of double touches which I could have avoided." UB’s sabre fencers started off by winning the first five of their six bouts. A sabre fencer, more than 19 foil or epee fencer, needs power in order to win. The primse example is UB’s Jim Greene, a senior “Jim really likes to whack his opponent,” commented Buffalo’s Rich Sherman. “By the time the bout is over, the other guy is really hurting.” Green explained why. “It has to be because of Brooklyn my background," he said. is Solomon’s clincher After jumping to a 12 to 5 lead, the Bulls began to slide, losing five of the next six bouts. Buffalo managed to hang on, though. The clincher belonged to Solomon Darting up and down the narrow fencing strip, Solomon scored with quick lunges that caught his opponent off guard. Describing the winning point, Solomon said, “He was keeping his weapon low so I raised my blade and drove over him. By the time he raised his sword, he was already dead.” With the win assured, the Bulls began to falter, dropping three straight in the sabre. In the final bout of the afternoon, Rogers lost to RIT’s captain, Jim Thibault. Thibault’s winning stab momentarily put Rogers out of commission as it stuck just underneath the face mask pricking the neck. Head Coach Tom Bremer commented, “We were really psyched for this one.

Finelli’s time in the 100-yard race, 0:53.012, also set a state record. His two wins earned him berths in the NCAA Division 111 National Championships to be held March 16-18 at Grinnell, Iowa. Finelli, who hails from Blauvelt, New York, shaved his entire body (hair causes friction, which decreasea a swimmer’s speed), and those fractions of seconds made the difference. Finelli won both races by less than one-tenth of a second over his nearest competitor. “If there was any possibility that we would win,” said Buffalo coach Bill Sandord, “George would do it. He was really psyched for it. That was his goal and he did it.” Hairless wonder Finelli was seeded third after Friday's preliminaries in the 200-yard butterfly. The race was close all the way, and he just pulled it out at the end. In doing so, he beat last year’s champion and the state record holder. After the prelims of the 100 fly on Saturday, Finelli was seeded first. He got out to a fast start, but by the third (and final) turn, Jeff Cook of St. Lawrence had pulled ahead Finelli swam hard in the final lap to beat Cook at the touch. According to both Sanford and Finelli, the team spirit was very high “In both races, all you could hear were the Buffalo players shouting,” Sanford said. Even Sanford, a veteran' of 29 years of coaching swimming, got caught up in the emotion. “It was the biggest thrill in my career as a coach,” he said. previous Flu hurts Bulls As a team, Buffalo finished tenth out of the 18 teams that entered, as no individual other than Finelli finished higher than tenth. Buffalo’s 800-yard freestyle relay team of Finelli, Frank Buczek, Tim Nash and Jim Brenner set a school record with 7:42.6. Brenner, who was slowed by the flu, finished 15th and 13th in the 200 and 400-yard individual medley respectively. BOOT SALE - George Finelli, the New York State Champion in the 100-yard and 200-yard butterfly. 3268 Main St. Jim Turner finished sixteenth in both the 100 and 200-yard breaststroke. “Turner swam awfully well,” Sanford said. Chuck Niles, who also was suffering from the flu, finished sixteenth in the 50-yard freestyle. Diver Mike Dorah finished twelfth in the one meter and three meter diving, and teammate Tony Frasca was thirteenth in the three meter diving. Doran (who qualified for the Nationals during the regular season) and Finelli will both spend the next three weeks preparing for the National Championships. Sanford has arranged a special diet, special practices and even special sleeping schedules for the two so that they will be as strong as possible for the championships. Finelli feels his best event at the Nationals will be the 100-yard butterfly. “I’ll have to swim in the 52’s to make the finals,” he said. “For the 200, I’ll have to drop two seconds to get into the finals. 1 feel more comfortable at 100.” A ONE'YEAR MBA?

At a meeting between Psychology Chairman Kenneth Levy and Administration officials on February 4, it was decided that a tentative move to Parker Hall, with 30,000 square feet of space earmarked for the Department, was unfeasible for this or next year due to a lack of Figures compiled by the Graduate Psychology Department (GPA) show that the University’s bill for keeping the troubled Psychology Department at isolated quarters on the Ridge Lea Campus will outrun the cost of shifting the Department to Parker Hall. The GPA estimates that over a .five-year period, the now which would have ensured the highly abandoned move to Parker would cost r»t»d Clinical Psychology program’s accreditation $230,000 less than what the University will spend to upgrade inadequate facilities at Ridge Lea. With Clinical Psych’s accreditation still in doubt, the GPA fears that a national grant, totalling $400,000 money for renovation. - - Limited funding granted Limited funding from the SUNY at Buffalo supplemental budget request for revitalization of the Ridge Lea campus was granted by University Vice President Albert Somit and the Administration as an alternative to the Parker move. Following subsequent departmental discussions and an angry letter from Levy to the Administration, Levy and some faculty members requested approximately $100,000 from the supplemental budget for Ridge Lea revitalization and an additional $30-50,000 for the planning of a still possible Parker renovation. According to University President Ketter, Albany’s bureaucratic delays would mean an 18-month lag between the planning stage and the start of renovation, making the move by the Fall of 1978 over five years, will also be jeopardized because of the Ketter Administration’s decision not to rennovate Parker Hall and make it the permanent home of the Department. The GPA, an organization of Psychology grad students, is organizing an intensive information gathering and letter writing campaign opposing the Administration’s decision. The organization is urging faculty members, graduate and undergraduate students and community residents to write letters to State Legislators and SUNY Chancellor Clifton Wharton expressing their concern for the Department’s plight.

Amid the din of a non-attentive audience, independent candidate for Vice Presiden, Paul Friedman, demanded a right to “Four candidates will speak today,” Fiiedman declared. “We-ow’t have four people dictate the wishes of the 200 here.” After Wing granted the right to present his views, Friedman outlined thirteen proposals as a platform. He called for an open admissions policy, no tuition fees, a halt to all wasteful Amherst construction, and a return of all undergraduate classes to the Main Street Campus, a moratorium on the repayment of student loans, preservation of the present four course load, opposition to the arming of University Police, and opposition to the K.u Klux speak. Klan. Friedman said, “We must use SA as a unifying organisation and work for mass demonstrations. A strong statewide movement is needed to go to Albany as often as necessary to force the state Legislators into action.” LOOKING FOR MR. GOOD PRESIDENT: The four candidates for Student Association (SA) President, Bob Sinkewicz (top left), Gary Maier (top right). Bob Daniels (bottom left) and Richard Mott (bottom Tight) gathered in Haas Lounge Friday for an open debate. Although students appeared ■ cool to the election, many issues were hotly contested. See The Spectrum endorsements on the editorial pages of this issue. Coalition needed The Party candidate for President, Richard Mott, followed the boisterous Friedman presenting his party’s platform in a hesitant tone. “SA candidates in the past have brought up problems but have rarely come up with proposals to solve them,” he said. Mott believes there is a power crisis among the students. “What power wo do have isn’t used effectively,” he said. “There is much student apathy and little administrative continuity.” He added that SA has in the past been ineffective in dealing with the Amherst construction problem because of its cencentration on individual Legislators, rather than on the Legislature as a whole. Because it is election year, we have the opportunity to have a broad, effective campaign to obtain construction funding. We must get a coalition of the media, local banks, and students to put pressure on Carey,” Mott said. The Epic Party candidate for President. Bob Sinkewicz, opened with a dismal view of the University. “This school sucks,” he observed. “The Administration is close .minded and the Faculty Senate doesn’t think students exist. We must unify all students before we can take any action.” Sinkewicz outlined issues that affect all students. “Food Faculty-Student Association (FSA) has a monopoly on food service with no student input. We need student unionization, we need another campus publication, we have a critical library situation. 1 am willing to get student input and make changes.” —Jenson Grateful dead Gary Maier running bn the Scarlet Begonia ticket, took a similar dim view of academic life here. “The University is in a chaotic condition: the quality has gone down and there is no unification of the student body. The best way to get students together is to get them to vote.” Maier suggested the retention of the four course load, was in favor of having an outdoor concert featuring the Grateful Dead, and called for a campus television station. Robert Daniels of the JFK party stated, “Look at what you can do for the University not what the University can do for you.” Although JFK has no reported platform at this time, Daniels presented the focus of the party. “We must let the Administration know we’re not high school students any more. The students must get together and work to get construction funds for Amherst. We must try to get input from all of the State Universities.” Following the presentation of party platforms, the floor was opened to discussion. A question was raised several students the by concerning abolishment of the University Day Care Center in 1974. The Administration refused to fund the center after Sub-Board could no longer pay its share of the operating costs. A campaign was launched by day care workers, resulting in a hasty agreement by the Administration to provide funding not only for the operation of the center but also for enlargement. The Administration reneged on its agreement according to Michael Pierce, when it closed the center in May of 1975. In name only “Will the next student government force the Administration to keep its agreement to fund the day care center,” Pierce asked any of the candidates. Sinkewicz responded, “I don’t have the facts, but I’ll do all that I can. 1 like to see that kind of desire.” Another question was posed to Sinkewicz in reference to his abstention on a vote recommending the abolishment of the Gym requirement. “How can we know where you stand on the issues?” asked one irate student. Sinkewicz replied, “1 abstained because I feel students shouldn’t be forced to take a gym class but at the same time we needed the requirement for construction purposes. The students must be informed about the issues and to do that I’m willing to have forums and go to the students door to door.” One heated issue that emerged from the forum was FSA profits. Friedman called for the transfer of power from FSA to the workers and students. “Workers at Food Service are being explointed. FSA is non-profit in name only; there are people who have been working for there for 17 years earning only $3.00 an hour and their prices are ridiculous,” said Friedman. Mott argued that students already have a hand in FSA decisions. “The FSA advisory committee is made up of eleven members, including four undergraduates, one graduate, and uni**-MFC member. The students therefore have a majority in - FSA decisions.” Friedman responded, “The students on that committee can’t go to the meetings where the decisions are made. They are a committee but they don’t make the decisions.” He reiterated that solution is not to abolish FSA, but to transfer its power to the students and workers. �Candidate* forum tonight DIVERSITY There will be a Student Association candidates forum in Porter Cafeteria at 9 p.m. tonight.

Drucker. Some may not recognize the name. but the patented introductory phralp should jar the memories of many a student. If this doesn’t work, try analyzing the accompanying photo. And if this fails, perhaps the alias of “Lumpa” will do the trick.

Upon arriving, you will be welcomed tp the Lumpa Comedy Show, which precedes each movie. Drucker who is affectionately called Lumpa by xthouSnds of stud£g,ts is a comedian at heart, but underneath his obvious brash exterior exists a serious individual who embodies the qualities many have tried to emulate.

An accurate planning date is difficult to ascertain at this time. In order to obtain planning money, the Administration must determine specific justifications for the use of space in Parker. The Administration presently does not have a staff to study this problem, according to Levy. “No one was very concerned with the money at first,” he said. “They just told us to go ahead and determine what we needed and worry about the money later.” He suggested that a communication problem within the Administration probably caused the Parker move to fall apart. “Those responsible for the renovation planning apparently didn't make Somit aware of the problems of time and money,” he said. —Coker phrasiology, such and nickname was shortened Lumpa the to Because his suitemates ran the IRC movies on campus, Bruce was hired to clean up the cafeteria at arranging the chairs like a theater, well fuck you.

But nonetheless, his forum for ppen that —continued on page 10— Reconstructing Ridge Lea With the move to Parker, the emphasis of the Administration’s efforts is now to make life more bearable at Ridge Lea, according to Levy. ,Somjt has been given the responsibility of coordinating the infusion of resources into the Ridge Lea campus, which has been evacuated by almost all of its former residents. Levy composed a list outlining the necessary improvements for revitalization of Ridge Lea which became the basis of subsequent meetings with the Director of Libraries Saktidas Roy and the Vice President of Facilities and Planning John Telfer. Levy requestfed an enhancement of bus service between campuses, the construction of a library, the establishment of adequate food facilities, the construction of lounge and recreational areas, increased classroom space, increased clinical and research space, assurance of replacement faculty and graduate student lines, capital expenditure budgets for the acquisition of research equipment, and the maintenance of an adequate secretarial staff. Levy expressed concern that the $100,000 may not cover all of the proposals. “For instance,” Levy said, “for the amount of money we’re asking for the, revitalization, we’re not sure there will be enough for a library. There are no provisions in the budget for staff lines which means the libraries may have to cut back on their services by transferring some of their staff.” The Office of Facilities Planning addressed a number of Levy’s proposals and offered several solutions. Facilities Planning is calling for the conversion of a former cafeteria with about 6000 square feet to a library; the establishment of a recreational area and refreshment stand; and the construction of a cafeteria and lounge in one of the buildings. “This building would become in essence, a student union,” Levy said. Other departments moving? In response to other proposals. Facilities and Planning may request the relocation of some of the other Ridge Lea units to provide more classroom space and additional space for the animal research unit. The granting of these proposals now hinges on the State Legislature’s approval of the supplemental budget. Levy said that if the budget is not approved, it may be possible to squeeze money out of the University Operating Budget. No specific contingency plans have been drawn up yet in case the budget is not approved. In an information packet distributed to all Psychology faculty members, the GPA presented rennovation and rental figures, facts about the Clinical program, a list of letter campaign targets, a model letter to Chancellor,Wharton, and a list of possible consequences of continued residence at Ridge Lea. A student and faculty “wish list” is also being circulated. GPA member Eric Gaplerud said, “We assembled the necessary information before organizing the campaign because it’s important to go put informed as well as angry.” Parker cheaper The GPA has organized a campaign on the basis that a move to Parker would be more economically desirable than continued rental and revitalization of Ridge Lea. Furthermore, GPA members doubt that the State will continue to pay for the rental of Ridge Lea. According to figures gathered by the GPA, the rental cost of Ridge Lea is $91,000, To retain the present facilities, it*would require that $400,000 be spent over the next four years. Coupled with rental expenses is the funding for bus service. The GPA determined that $119,500 per year is spent on hus service, amounting to a foully ear total of $480,000 and a consummate cost of $881),000 to refurbish Ridge Lea.

On one particular point, Fred Lamesch of the American Institute for Imported Steel reported that European steel mills have become increasingly unprofitable, forcing layoffs. He further stated that the Federal government’s new ‘/‘Solomon Plan” would result in a sharp drop in steel imports on the Gulf coast, “an even sharper drop on the East coast and a virtual embargo on the Great Lakes.” Lamesch and another panelist. Charles Butler of the Japanese Steel Information Center, denied that foreign steel is being “dumped” on the U.S. Butler stated that Japanese steel corporations, often accused of dumping, sell their product at a cheaper price in this country because it can be manufactured at $100 per ton cheaper than in the U.S. Dumping is the practice of selling products below cost for a period of time in an effort to steal business away from competitors. It is illegal in this country and in most others. Butler pointed out that, last year, ten thousand Japanese steel workers were laid-off indefinitely and for years after World War II the U.S. had enjoyed a virtual monopoly on steel production because most other steel plants had been bombed. Since then, other countries have built much more efficient plants while U.S. plants have not been comparably improved. Shouting match predicted that steel imports would drop month “due to the expiration of old contracts” with foreign steel producers. He further remarked that steel imports would continue to drop until finally his “virtual embargo” prediction would come true. At this point, Lamesch was interrupted by a group of Lamesch sharply explained themselves the National United Workers Organization and chanting “our lives not their profits; fight for every job.” The group claimed to represent workers laid-off from Bethlehem Steel’s Lackawanna plant and engaged in a brief shouting match with the forum’s moderator, Assistant Professor Bahl Batt of this University’s School of Management. Finally, one of the men, tentatively identified as Jerry Coopersmith, was permitted to address the forum. “Workers are being used by the steel companies to increase their profits . , . jobs are being stolen by automation, job displacement and the forcing of employed workers to work overtime instead of employing more workers.” After this speech, the group left Moot Courtroom chanting again. Afterwards, Lamesch continued saying, “These artificially high prices that the Solomon Plan will enforce will have a much greater widespread inflationary affect than the Carter Administration realizes. Developing nations will be particularly hard hit.” next Free ride Lamesch’s comments were refuted out of hand by James Collins of the American Iron and Steel Institute who called the plan “too lenient” on the Japanese and claimed, “the Europeans are getting a free ride.” The exact mechanism of the Solomon Plan was explained by Michael Gadbaw of the U.S. Treasury. Gadbaw is the attorney responsible for monitoring the inflow of steel into the U.S. He cited statistics that showed while consumption of steel increased to a record high last year, “domestic production decreased by 4 million tons. The result has been the closing of, or cutbacks at, 16 plants causing overt economic hardship in the states where these plants are located.” “The so-called Solomon Plan includes funds to aid in plant modernization, in relocation of people living in steel plant dependent areas and in trade adjustment assistance,” Gadbaw. But the most important and controversial part of the Solomon Plan is the trigger price below American market prices. The price is then compared with the cost of the steel’s production to ensure that no steel is being dumped in this country. ‘Capital poor’ John Phelan, representing Sen. Jacob Javits, charged that the American steel companies had not been spending enough on ressarch and development and urged them to do so as soon as possible. Collins retorted that “the industry is capital poor,” and argued the money is not available to modernize plants to include such modem steel processes as the basic oxygen process and the continuous casting. Such processes are common in Japan but fairly rare here. A speech by Rep. Henry Nowak was read by his assistant, James Schmidt. In this speech, Nowak asked that the loss of jobs be considered the most serious problem. He also told of a bill now pending in Congress designed to protect American manufacturers of TV sets, textiles, and shoes, industries also hurt by foreign imports. on In a related matter, a keynote speaker at a conference the future of Buffalo’s waterfront said, ‘The comparative advantage that Buffalo once enjoyed in the production of steel is now gone.” The speaker. Regional Research Institute of West Virginia official William Miernyk, was addressing a capacity audience at the Statler Hilton Hotel the same Friday evening. He further remarked, “Even a concentrated effort to reindustrialize an area that has lost its industrial base cannot succeed if the area is basically not economically sound.” Miernyk believed that other forms of waterfront revitalization, such as those tried successfully in cities like Baltimore and Toronto, should be tried. Miernyk did stress the importance of cooperation on the part of the community, industry and government The Independents: Handicapped band together by Charles Ha viland Spectrum Staff Writer Emotions ran high and spirits peaked Wednesday in Capen Hall as 350 handicapped students convened for a meeting of the ne wly-orga nized Student group, Association The' Independents.

The series of events will conclude with a Silver Wheels basketball game, with its participants playing in wheelchairs. which Act of 1973. April 13 and 14 have been set aside as Handicapped Awareness Days at this University. The project tentatively includes invitations to area institutions such as the Western New York student community understand One example of handicapped segregation is the inaccessibility of Squire Hall on the Main Street student campus. Squire, the union, is full of barriers which present many of the handicapped from participating in social and programmed events held there. The complaints delivered at the meeting 1) include: The Cafeterias. The cafeterias themselves are accessible, but meals are not. Turnstiles prevent occupants of wheelchairs from 2) serving themselves. Squire Conference Theater is itself accessible, but a handicapped person cannot obtain tickets for a show as the box office window is too high. The line-forming rope prevents those in , wheelchairs direct access. 3) Undergraduate Advisement on the second floor of Squire Hall is not available. The handicapped are referred to Goodyear Hall, where access is easier. Some of the Independents felt they were the victims of unnecessary segregation. Squire Hall pretents this type of barrier to the handicapped Forced to enter the building through a garbage pit -Pauly Cant's even get inside One student pointed out that railings Squire’s on exterior staircases did not extend sufficiently beyond the stairs to mefet her needs. She lost her balance on the last step which prevented her from going any further./ Asked if the interior railings suited her, she replied, “How should 1 know? I can’t even get into the building. If I could, maybe 1 could tell you.” For the individual in the wheelchair, the most accessible way into Squire Hall is through the same door by which the building’s garbage sits waiting to be collected. “Even then, there are eight or nine steps and I still have to put up with the stinking garbage,” stated Enc Dahmen, a graduate student here. It takes time for a proxy (one who assists) an maneuver occupied wheelchair up the stairs. Other students sharing Dahmen’s to handicap agree that being subjected to the garbage odor is very unpleasant. “It’s as if the ordinary citizen had to climb over a six-foot wall every time he had to cross a street,’’ Miller related, referring to the barriers into Squire. “There are little things inside the building that certainly need changing,” added Howie Tarnoff, Editor of the Independent’s Observer , “but the main and most important thing is making the front door accessible to all. No one wants to enter the building garbage pit.” through a Make accessible or renovate! Section 504 of the1973 Rehabilitation Act of officially took effect on June 3, 1977 giving the University until on-campus 1980 to make buildings accessible to all handicapped persons. Programs and activities can be accessible in two ways. Existing programs may be moved out of inaccessible structures and into accessible buildings. The other alternative is renovation to accommodate the handicapped. A report released by the University on November 14, 1977 stated that “through its Office of Facilities Planning (SUNYAB) is currently meeting and will continue to meet the requirements of Section 504 made of the Federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973 for the development of programs to make its facilities accessible to the handicapped.” The report includes a list of existing University units devoted to the of integration the handicapped with the rest of the University. They are: Office of Services for the Handicapped (OSH); Planning Office (OFF); of Facilities of Office Affirmative Action (OAA) and the Office of Environmental Health and Safety (OEHS).

But it was in memory of more than his dreams that people gathered in Moot Courtroom in O'Bnan Hall on Thursday afternoon to pay tribute to the man, the leader, and the cause. Keynote speaker Leonard Spearman, Acting Deputy Commissioner for Higher and Continuing Education in the U.S. Office of Education, focused on King’s perpetuating and magnetic influence on the black protest movement. Spearman detailed the history of the blacks’ fight for civil rights and emphasized the ne,ed for continuing action in securing the ideals Kind espoused. “The central problem of the 20th and that is still true in 1978 is the color line.” century - - Search for identity Spearman began by defining black protest. “Black protest is involved in the man’s search for identity. Who am I?” he asked. “Who are you?” The search for an answer started with a recitation of the Black Annals of America. ''Ancestors of the black people in this in chains,” said Spearman, He went country were brought by force on to characterize the relationship established at the outset of black-white interaction in this country. “Take away your name, your religion, your language; destroy your sense, of family. If 1 wanted to create a perfect slave state. I’d follow the rules created by this state in the 15th Century.” The courtroom audience warmed to Spearman, with his repertoire of anecdotes embellishing the historical facts. The atmosphere, heavy with reminiscences and remonstrances, was lightened by his humorous recollections of difficult times. He told of the time he visited Antioch, Alaska with the thermometer hovering around minus 38 degrees. “I was first approached by one little Eskimo girl who looked at me curiously. “She was soon joined by another Eskimo child, then another, until I was finally encircled by them. ‘Who is he?’ they wondered. ‘What’s he doing that far north?’ Finally, they summoned an old Eskimo man who looked at me wisely and proclaimed: ‘Ahhhh . . . he’s a Russian.” As a chuckle wound its way through the spectators, Spearman remarked, “I laugh because it reduces the trauma to think about it — ... intellectually.” First rate professional Summing up his of the great civil rights leader, Spearman said, “King was dynamic, articulate, and trusted,” he said. “His leadership was unquestioned by his followers he made the movement appealing to the masses.” ' An earlier speaker had uttered similar phrases about a man he not ojfly paid tribute to that day, but had lingered with over philosophical years earlier. Professor of Educational Administration and Poflky Studies, Frank Brown, reminisced about his experiences with King in Montgomery, Alabama, during the ’50’s and ’60’s. “He was a first-rate professional in his field-preaching,” recalled Brown. “King was qualified when he came on the scene. He was a scholar, an impressions ... intellectual, and trustworthy. “They knew they had their man,” proclaimed Brown. And it was obvious that the students and faculty members who attended the tribute felt the same. Other participants in the tribute included Executive Vice President Albert Somit and the University Gospel Choir directed by Carlos Butte. The rest of the program entailed a series of readings, including poems by Paul Dunbar and Lanston Hughes and a taped speech delivered by King at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D C. on the occasion of the Civil Rights March in 1963. . The symposium was organized and presented by the minority faculty and staff association of this University. ... —MalltcK Women's Studies College Amherst Center Winspear is great but far, far away Moves from Winspear Women’s Studies in Amherst by Elena Cacavas Spectrum Staff Writer Women Studies College (WSC) long centered at 108 Winspear Avenue, opened a new office with some new ideas at Spaulding Quad last September. WSC originally established the new office two years ago in but was Quad, Wilkinson transferred to Spaulding when space there became available. the center has Consequently and a and expanded large constantly growing number of women have been attracted to it. According to Terri Witriol, a Psychology major on the Amherst Committee for Women’s Studies, no time spen) at Wilkeson was wasted. “Last year with the Amherst Center at Wilkinson,” she said, “although it was small, we were able to make some connections and obtain insight into the needs of Amherst women. Now the center is much bigger and more people are involved, but it’ll still take time to build it up to the stage we plan.’’ It was implied by members of the Amherst Committee that the exclusive purpose of the Center will be to deal with the demands say, ‘What would you like it to be for?’ and then plan ourselves still working on exactly what the function of the center will be. We want women to know that Women’s Studies is also located on Amherst so that they will stop by and let their needs be known.” Another student on the Tina committee, Silverstein, that a explained self-defense program has been established. “Women are concerned with security and showed interest in a course along these lines,” she said. “When people ask what the center is for, we say, ‘What would you like it to be fore?’ and then plan ourselves around that.” It was stressed that the center serves as a place where people are always welcome and can do essentially just what they want. “Sometimes Silverstein, Said Amherst seems pretty isolated. At the center you can meet others and share ideas.” Committee members expressed some concern that people tend to stereotype the women involved in the College. “There are many different types of women involved who have varying interests,” said are “All people Franzen. welcome.” the decision to Originally establish an Amherst Center was reached when other departments began migrating to the North Campus. College officials, however, felt it was important to maintain their established quarters at Winspear. “We decided it was important not to totally move Women’s Studies to Amherst,” Witriol said. “The program has a variety of women in it and extends into the community. The center on Winspear is well finally established.” It was decided to locate a new office at Amherst in some capacities along with the rest of the collegiate system. “Winspear is great but far,” Silverstein said. “If the center was there a lot of people only wouldn’t have the chance to share in it.” It is evident that the new center meets a different set of needs than does the original. Committee members agreed that Winspear is the main base and thus, more formalized. Franzen stated, “Here, we are trying to respond to the various needs of women by offering a place to study, parly or rap,” ftfrt Japan*** Family Rastaurant ' • I | In Our N*wly Enlarged Dining Area r JJ o^3Tj With Service Bar Enjoy A Truly Japanese Cuisine Full Dinners from $2.60 SOUP, GREEK SALAD, DINNER (Dinner Choices: Lamb.

This year may prove to be no different but students should at least think hard about how they vote so as not to usher in total ignorance and mindless irresponisbility into the SA office. After all, SA could lead students out of their social and political void and make their lives more relevant and meaningful. The most glaring characteristic of this year's SA elections is that virtually no candidate has any practical working experience in student government and that as a whole, the candidates have less working knowledge of student affairs and the innards of Student politics than the candidates of the last three years. The real question then becomes: is this inexperience healthy or unhealthy? Unknown candidates with fresh ideas and what appear to bo compelling personalities would fill the hack-dominated SA offices with a real breath of fresh air but, at the same time, could tumble into traps and set because of goals unattainable their iWivete. w< bespite providing a wide vardity of vital services to students here, SA retains a weak and nebulous hand in forcing the outcome of University wide issues and has whittled away what little respect students had for their government. The dislocation last summer of the SA offices to the brick anonymity of Amherst's Talbert Half has hastened and encouraged this loss of faith in student government and has further clouded students' view of where the reins of power lie. The enigmatic nature of SA campaigns and the too casual attitude toward the election itself, have been aggravated by the split between campuses. The job of determining and identifying the most qualified, innovative resourceful and determined candidates is unfortunately and increasingly left to several editors of The Spectrum. > , 3lfev are concerned by our traditionally heavy influence in the election.

Page six The Spectrum Monday, 27 February 1978 . . feZt Vice President for Sub Board The process of selecting capable student government officials is difficult in that so often only a very fine line separates one candidate from another. Choices are made by personal impressions and are many times based on the various and sometimes insignificant nuances of the hopefuls. Rarely has anyone broken away from the rest of the field and sparkled so brightly as has Jane Baum. She has clearly demonstrated that she is the most insightful, energetic and charismatic candidate in the running for the position of Vice President for Sub Board. Most importantly, she possesses that crucial and often elusive quality of leadership which appears to be lacking in the other candidates. Although she has had experience little student in government, her natural abilities will serve her well in learning the system. The election of Baum wilt be a vital step towards an effective, rational Sub Board Board of Directors. She will certainly offer a refreshing change from the aimless, polemic stance that has so characterized this year's Vice President for Sub Board. Although Baum is the clear choice, both Allen Clifford and Stephanie Freund seem reasonably capable. Clifford, especially, has shown remarkable enthusiasm in his position as SASU delegate and Jewish Student Union President. He has been a tireless opponent of the Mandatory Health Fee and has supported SASU admirably. Clifford should remain active in SA, but not as Vice President for Sub Board. Freund is a sincere candidate who has a good understanding of Sub Board's structure and is as qualified as Clifford, but lacks the leadership qualities so essential to the position. Steven Bason exhibited no knowledge or understanding of Sub Board and appears totally Incapable of handling the position. • Treasurer ‘The SA treasurer is closely ciisburising of funds involved m and is the financial Jink between the student government and various organizations and clubs. The person filling the position must have a clear comprehension of the intricacies of SA's financial structure and must demonstrate a coherent, pragmatic approach to allocating funds. None of the candidates for Treasurer appear as well equipped to handle the job as do Fred Wawrzonek and Sean Egan. We give Wawrzonek the slight edge. Though inexperienced in SA, he displayed the most thorough knowledge of the position and possesses an insightful outlook in �senator, Egan, Like Wawrzonek and has impressive Rebecca Tabb credentials for the job of Treasurer. She is an intelligent and rational person but lacks a full understanding of SA and of Mandatory Fee guidelines to be our choice. Mitch Nessenoff offered some original ideas for SA, some of which could be very productive, yet also lacked certain knowledge essential to the position. Mark Sartinksy, who said that three weeks ago he knew as much about Sub Board as does a sidewalk, is very intelligent, yet his conception of the student corporation is still only up to curb level. Director of Student Affairs The somewhat nebulous position of Director of Student Affairs must be filled by a person who knoyvs what students want and also what to of problems do about the uninvolvement. All the candidates appear willing and reasonably able to deal with this question, but Lori by Pasternak, virtue of her experience in and dedication to SA this year, is the best choice. She preaches the value of the Student Affairs Task Force and will be a capable and enthusiastic Director. Scott Juisto was certainly an inventful and original candidate and offered many useful ideas, but lacks experience the that Pasternak possesses. Neither Eric Puzo nor Kathy Berger have as great an understanding or as comprehensive a plan of action as does Pasternak. Director of Student Activities ' We believe that Barry Rubin is the best candidate for the position of Director of Student Activities. Although none of the candidates were overly impressive, Rubin's experience in IRC and other campus organizations is more valuable than the negligible creative powers of the other two candidates, Libby Post and Carlos Benitez. AH three candidates emphasized the need to have more student activites both on campus and for commuters. Rubin said that various clubs could make better use of their money and that more activites would help bridge the communication gap between SA and the students. Post suggested that with the right kind of publicity, various activities would be more successful. Benitez, who had practical few ideas and little ' FEEDBACK of how he would operate, did suggest, that busing for on-campus students to off-campus activites would be a good idea. experience Rubin’s as Vice President for Activities and Services of IRC is the most notable the of of any qualification candidates. conception The committee To the Editor Friday at Haas Lounge was a step towards unity on this campus. Important discussions were starting Director of and it is crucial that they continue. Regardless of who wins the election only a student movement in the University will make the necessary changes that Academic Affairs Our overwhelming choice for Director of Academic Affairs is Sheldon Gopstein. He shows a firm command of the academic issues and a competent understanding of the University bureaucracy. His goals are attainable and we feel he'd be a dedicated worker. Seitelman, David while enthusiastic and intelligent, lacks a firm grip on the realities of the University power structure and is unfamiliar with the current status of were being called for. Therefore, we need to continue this discussion. We call for a debate on both Tuesday and 12:00 in Haas Lounge. All students must attend, including the candidates. Let’s put an end to that talk about apathy in this school. We saw none in Haas Lounge on Friday. Wednesday at • The Committee to Elect the Issues represented by Independent Candidate Paul Friedman Blonde Blue on To the Editor I’ve been promising myself that I’d get this letter done for weeks now. It started out to personal letter to my friend, Jon, but the more L thought of it, the more I realized that he is a specIM part of warm, safe niche that I’m far from, and miss like crazy. So, in between traffic jams and snpw days and watching for spring, I am writing a love letter. I’m finishing my last semester of my last year at college at Stony Brook, after three years, including one perfect summer at UB. I left Buffalo for personal reasons an important commitment became a priority that spirited me away. In a few months, we’ll have enough money to begin traveling. But meantime, here I sit, looking back It was a fine time learning, loving, beginning to understand, beginning to sort, beginning to distinguish the fine line between trivial and crucial. I made friends and enemies. As and Ds, time and trouble. I fell for an ugly city and a bureaucratic community known as UB without even realizing it. I cursed the snow, the vicious cold, the student ghetto, the endless gray days. All the while there was a warmth inside, a special feeling for a place that represented a time of I’ve been here on Long Island for two life months now, and I’ve seen just as much snow, but where are the familiar faces? I can’t seem to shake this chill from my bones I know, I know, everybody’s tired of “hooray for Buffalo” letters in The Spectrum. So was I. But I’m away now, and it all seems very different, and very valuable. Maybe it’s, pardon the expression, maturity. All I know is that this one woman’s backward glance has taught her to appreciate and respect. With love, academic issues. Joseph Hamedl is an energetic newcomer but has no concept of academics or of the University system. He would be a poor choice for the position. - SASU delegates - Choosing the delegates to the Student Association of the State University (SASU), based on an unbalanced combination of experience and practical vision of the was not w difficult. candidates, Virtually all the candidates named Amherst construction as their most important priority, but only a few could truly conceptualize exactly what lobbying means or, in the end, what the job of SASU delegate is all ... ... about. Edelstein is the most qualified of all the candidates; she previously worked with SASU as an intern and detailed fairly concisely what the issues are and how she would go about dealing with them. Donald Berry also has some working experience as SA parliamentarian and is aware of the issues. James Stein exhibited a willingness to participate and a confidence in himself, probably based on his experience in past political campaigns. As desirable as Stein is James Ostrowski, who has had much experience in state politics and would be a good choice for delegate. Stein and Ostrowski should be considered after Edelstein and Berry, who are certainly the more qualified candidates. Francis Cobian, Marie Osorio and Vincent Fuerst did not exhibit any knowledge of the position nor of the' relationship between student government and Albany politics, although they obviously want to learn what the delegate job entails. Allen Cohen never made it to the interview. So it goes Marsha Stephanie (ianji For the record, the rivalry between Stony PS. Brook and UB is, as far as I’m concerned, ridiculous.

To the Editor. I would like to point out to the University community that the lack of adequate gymnasium facilities at UB is no longer a prime reason why At the last meeting of the Independents (a both handicapped and able bodied students) an extremely important issue arose. Inaccessibility is a severe ’problem throughout the SUNY at Buffalo campus. We are talking about inaccessibility for a student with a handicap. Inaccessibility becomes a cutting, cruel reality when one attempts to enter Squire Hall. The center of student activities, both social and academic, takes place within the walls of Squire Hall. Recently, the Division of Undergraduate Education, has recently moved into Squire Hall “fortress.” To enter Squire for any wheelchair-bound individual is an XH 3 1 group 'of construction on the Amherst campus should be immediately “beefed up.” Most of you probably know by now that the graduate program in Clinical Psychology may lose its accreditation due to the poor facilities or the complete lack of facilities at the Ridge Lea Campus. Be advised, too, that relocating the department in 'Barker Hall on the Main Street Campus is only a temporary solution, and it is about time that the State of New York acknowledges the fact that further construction at Amherst is necessary for the academic growth of this University. The Clinical Psychology program may be the first to lose its accreditation due to the stalled construction at Amherst, but it is said that the UB Medical School may be next in line to face this dilemma. How many programs are going to have to be threatened before positive action is taken to provide adequate facilities for the courses offered at SUNYAB? Not is impenetrable only attempt. Squire impenetrable for wheelchairs, but for those who have limited mobility. This is really an abhorent situation which should have been rectified long before the need foj such a letter. Squire Hall provides recreation, meeting places, a movie theater and dining facilities for all students except those who have limited mobility. A handicapped student cannot even enjoy the simple pleasures of eating lunch in the Squire Cafeteria or sharing of a pitcher of beer'wfth ffiepds at the Rathskellar. Inability to enter and partake of these activities that are part of one’s student life is the utmost form of discrimination. way one discovered There is for a wheelchair-bound studen; to enter Squire and that is through a lower ramp where the trash is carted away. I hi ' A handicapped student should not have to enter through the entrance where trash is collected. It should be noted that even this entrance has steps that a wheelchair-bound student cannot manage alone. To enter Squire Hall through a door meant for trash pickup sadly reminds me of the rampant discrimination. The problem of inaccessibility of Squire Hall must be rectified now. We await the action of Dr. Ketter and the active support of all those at this University. The Independents Howard Tamoff of the University community of the rights in furtherance of handicapped citizens may become members. Note. Any member interested John E.

There was a list of grievances' to •government officials (similar to the Declaration), and a host of reasons to exist (also similar to the Declaration).

There were exactly 50 names at the end, but not similar to the Declaration, for they were printed, not signed. from UB and no one can be prouder, and if you 'can’t hear us, well yell a little louder, louder. • Apparently our Governor doesn’t believe there is a University in Buffalo.

Well it’s time we make some noise to tell Mr. Carey we want to come in out of the cold. Our campus is only. 40% complete with ho new construction scheduled. It’s time we made some noise to tell the Governor we want the new construction started now. This year gives us our best chance because it is an election year. We should first start by circulating petitions for the new construction to start. We should inform. Mr. Carey that each signature represents one vote against him. And if he can’t hear us well yell a Little louder. We’ll begin to meet him and his cohorts at the airport, hotels, and ralleys they will have in Buffalo during this election year. And if he can’t hear us we’ll yell a little louder.,A nice protest march with a couple of thousand students wouldn’t hurt. The march could be from Main Street Campus to Amherst Campus.

When I obtained my parking sticker back , in September in< Harriman Library it was possible for me to pick up a* .many parking stickers as I wanted as no onewas sitting at the table. Last summer I was assigned to a clinical rotation at V.A. Hospital and noticed all the employees parkihg in our (Sherman) lot. I called to complain to tiJ«LIniversity Police, about these, people parting jij our lot and about how easy it was to obtain these stickers off the table in Harriman. They stated that they were aware of the problem but did not say what they were going to do about it. This semester I am again assigned to V.A. Hospital and I was told by V.A. Security Guards on February 14 that I could not park in their lot, but' that I had to go across the street and park in the U.B. lot. When I parked there (at 7:15 a.m.) there wefe already three rows of cars parked in the corner of the lot closest to V.A. Employees were parking in Sherman lot and crossing the street to the hospital. My question is where are the University Police to ticket these people when they arc parking in our lot? I would suggest stationing a police Car in that lot between 6:30 and 8:30 a.m. and asking these people for student I.D.’s even if they have an (easily obtainable) parking sticker.

Terri Cohen Debbie Cutler �Coalition fights for city utility takeover For almost two years the Peoples Power Coalition has been working for city takeover of Niagara Mohawk and National Fuel Gas. The group’s efforts, which have included public meetings, petitioning, leafletting, letters and demonstrations, are beginning to pay off. The Buffalo Common Council is now considering putting up the money for a feasibility study to see if such a takeover is advisable. The Coalition believes that a city takeover would lower electric bills by one-half and gas bills by one-third, and relieve the intolerable burden which big utility bills place on people of limited income, especially the elderly. The figures from municipally-owned utilities around the country back them up. And, apparently, many Buffalonians agree with the Coalition, because the group has obtained almost 10,000 signatures on a petition calling for the Council to fund a feasibility study. The Coalition also believes that municipalization of the utilities will give the people of the city and the people who work for National Fuel Gas and Niagara Mohawk a chance to run the utilities democratically. Decisions are now made by an inaccessible Board of Directors, composed mainly or rich bankers and officers, mainly lawyers and engineers, people who make so much money they have no idea of the plight of the average citizen. In a municipal system, if it is set up properly, decisions would be made by elected representatives from the neighborhoods and utility workers. A municipal system would not be answerable to rich stockholders, but to the people themselves. Instead of paying high dividends to these stockholders from profits guaranteed by New York State, which is what happens with the private utilities, the municipal utility would use this money to lower rates and give increased benefits to people who work for the utility. By lowering rates a municipal system would attract businesses and industry which will provide much-needed Jobs and help to revitalize the city’s neighborhoods. The first step in obtaining this municipal system is for the Common Council to appropriate money for the feasibility study. The Council will be considering this step on Tuesday, February 28th at 2 p.m. in a hearing before the Legislative Committee, on the 13th floor of City Hall in the Council Chambers. Speakers for both sides will state their views. The hearing is open to the public. Niagara Mohawk and National Fuel Gas will be fighting this proposal with all the money and influence they can muster. It is important that people in favor of the study show their support to the Common Council. I. Call, write or visit your representative on the Council and tell him or her that you are in favor of the feasibility study; that you want public power. 2.

The senes is entitled: “The Workers’ Search for Order in the Late Century.” Nineteenth Dr. Montgomery addressed a group of approximately forty persons, mainly graduate students and faculty. The theme of the lecture; “The Skilled Worker and Factory Management” was stressed as “an effort on the part of the skilled workers to resolve the chaos of an labor open market in an environment unchecked of industrialization and economic depression.” The popular of of theories scientific management to business, lent to workers the realization of organization labor to attain This, in goals. common Conjunction with the advent of modern socialism, gave impetus to the rise of trade unionization application Off the farm Montgomery saw the degree of and organization enjoyed by skilled workers as the autonomy employees mutually agreed to the volume of work per hour and, to an extent, the fashion in which it was to be executed.” The system contained inherent counterbalances to guard against excesses on the workers’ part. The moral code of the system underscored .essentially the “nineteenth century work ethic and moral employee’s the obligation to his employer.” Montgomery emphasized that “the workers involved in the strikes of 1877 were neither immigrants nor were they unskilled workers just off the farm.” Rather, “the participants, born in the cities in the 1840’s ! and were second 850’s, workers, generation factory veterans.” “They were aware of both their key role in industry and of the available political means by which they could utilize their position to better their situation. Sympathetic strikes Management’s worker’s were reaction to attempts to unionize by described Dr as Montgomery predictably negative. “Increasingly from the 1880’s to 1905, the method of lockout was used for force employees to sign yellow-dog (anti-union) contracts.” Those employees that refused to sign the agreement lost their jobs. The railroad industry was cited as laying off sixty percent of its labor forces at various points during the 1 880’s. As the turn of the century approached, a number of judicial decisions argued the sacred nature of the employer-employees contract and opposed the unionization. This labor interference of resistance to reform was met by a wave of sympathetic strikes in which the unions of different crafts on simultaneous one another. The Pullman Strike of 1894 was mentioned by Montgomery as representing “a culmination of these sympathetic strikes in favor of the Union of Railroad Workers.” went support of The century growth of nineteenth unionization may be interpreted as a reaction against management’s growing power and the of tendency increased commercial monopolization. When viewed in this light, the labor reform movement is a logical extension of the American traditional dislike of centralized power.

The topic will be “Workers and Managerial Reform at the Turn of the Century.” The lecture, which is open to the public, begins at 4 p.m. Itching to do your part for the environment? Well, a thorough scratching is as close as Hayes Hall at the Environmental Clearing House Organization (ECHO). A little-know source of environmental services, it was the first of its kind when it was founded in October, 1970. Boasting files on 700 to 800 topics dealing with both the physical and social environment, ECHO has preserved clippings from local papers, the Congressional Record, and twenty newsletters that go back about eight years. Said Executive Director, Marja Hart, “You’ll never find anything like this except in a newspaper morgue. It’s unique in this area. The next closest one is in Schenectady.” The clearing house is used by a variety of people, including teachers, students, legislators, councilmen, businessmen, government officials, and citizens interested in the environment. Volunteers are always welcome at the Clearing House. Anyone is welcome to submit articles for the newsletter ECHO issues, as well as doing filing clipping. Squirrels unite In addition to the newspaper, ECHO is involved in several other projects. Among these are: a 40-member speakers’ bureau that speaks on a number of environmental topics; recycling information; resources on social environmental topics, such as aged, women, drugs, housing, veterans, and others; a listing of 50 environmental groups in the area; publication of special “ALERTs” to inform people of important hearings and public meetings; information on important environmental legislation; answers to telephone inquiries; exhibits on ecology at the Erie County Fair and local schools and shopping malls; aids to the Green Fund, a non-profit organization wliich provides trees for sale to citizens, planted by the City of Buffalo, Unlike many environmental groups, ECHO does not take a stand on issues, rather it researches and presents information on both sides of an issue. “This policy has enabled ECHO to work in harmony with all, while still remaining an advocate for environmental improvement,” said a spokesperson. ECHO was formed ia cooperation with the Junior League of Buffalo. At the start, it was funded, but has since switched to volunteers because of lack of money. Originally hdused in the’Buffalo Museum of Science, it later moved to Bethune Hall. Now located in Roorrull? of Hayes Hall, ECHO is open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily and the phone number is 834-2727.

Understanding and learning from dreams by Nancy Korman Spectrum Staff Writer To sleep: perchance to dream; ay there’s the rub; for in that sleep of death what dreams may come, when we have shuffled off this mortal -Shakespeare, “Hamlet” coil, must give us pause. A dream is a fictitious story in which a person is an active participant or a passive observer. Dream content is the product of the dreamer’s recent or remote past and is not a foreshadowing of events to come. Desires, worries, and tensions may have a direct bearing on the type of dream experienced. Some dreams may be pleasant; others, like nightmares, may be frightening and bothersome to the individual. Most dreams are related to events of the day before the dream and the strong wishes of the dreamer. Minor incidents that occur hours before sleep appear in dreams. Few events-more than two days old turn up in dreams. Deep wishes or fears especially those held in childhood often surface. Events in the sleeper’s surroundings, such as a loud noise, may become part of a dream, but they are not causes of dreams. — — I dreamt I went. Sbtae dreams involve deep feelings that a person may not realize he has. Psychiatrists frequently use material from a patient’s dreams to help -Vhe person understand himself better. People do see in most dreams, but they can also hear, smell, taste, and touch. i Dreaming is signaled by rapid eye movement (REM), as opposed to dreamless periods of non-rapid eye movement (NREM). Scientists have also obtained simultaneous recordings of other changes in the organ systems including irregularity in breathing and pulse rates suggesting emotional disturbance. Scientiets can also tell whether a person is asleep, awake, or most likely dreaming by measuring brain waves with an electro-encephalograph (EEC). Brain waves are larger and slower during most periods of sleep, but during certain periods of REM, they become faster and smaller and eye movements increase. There are approximately three to five REM periods a night. Most adults dream for about 100 minutes during eight hours of sleep, with three to five dreams, each lasting from 10 to 30 minutes. Later dreams last longer than do the earlier ones. There are differences between REM and NREM sleep; however, both kinds are intrinsic components of Diversity the conclusion of each flick.

The subsequent year, he became Supervisor the for Night Classroom Distribution Services and Day Supervisor for a few months as well.. Ip his senior year, Bruce becamfe the grand overseer when he coordinated the Educcational Communications Center, ran the IRC beer blasts and movies, arid became the manager of Main Street’s student run food store, The Underground.

Undoubtedly, Rickies has played a part in Bruce’s life, but who at Buffao has developed his character? He informed that, ‘‘The two people here who have influenced me most are Tanina and Liammari Mitchell Reganbogen and beauty what a classicof the beast - combination. But Drucker’s cowpus humor has not been confined to weekend IRC movies. Early this year, he enacted a 30-minute skit in one of his Law School courses, where he insulted four professors and a large contingent of his class.

Levine Staff Writer means of a centrifuge Great The local chapter of Delta Sigma Phi, a national and professional fraternity for business students, is actively seeking new members. Founded and supported by Millard Fillmore College (MFC) business students, the local shapter is now interested in recruiting members from the large number df non-nocturnal business students. As a professional fraternity, it is distinct from the usual fraternity, in that its main purpose is not entirely social. Delta Sigma Phi sees itself as a supplement to a student’s business education. The fraternity sponsors lectures and talks by local business leaders and faculty members. Important job contacts are provided by involving members in business and community activities. Unlike social fraternities. Delta Sigma Phi is open to both men and women. Social events held by the fraternity include a formal dinnerand a spring dinner dance at the Buffalo Canoe Club. New members are initiated in a formal ceremony prior to the spring dinner dance. Alumni are invited to attend these social events. New members are not subject to the ritual of hazing, unlike most social fraternities. Members are required to learn the chapter’s history and to help organize a public service project in which the entire chapter membership participates. In the past, the local chapter of the fraternity has also assisted in the “Career Day” sponsored by the Alumni Association of the School of Management. Delta Sigma Phi was founded as a national professional fraternity for business students in 1907, but the local chapter was nof,established until 1925 by a group of students in MFC. Meetings are h$Jd every two to three weeks in Squire Hall. The meetings are held as infrequently as possible to insure that attendance is not a burden to the rftembership. The dues are $15.00 per semester. M\ There are at present only 17 members in the fraternity, but chapter officers hope to have more than 50 members by next year.

Months later, a six-million dollar addition was built on to the Bubble Yum plant to meet the consumer demand. Studies conducted by gum company researchers show that gum sales increase during times of chewing gum stress because reduces tension. From early times, man has enjoyed chewing on various gummy substances. The early Greeks chewed gum from the mastic tree. The Maya Indians chewed chicle (the natural gum obtained from the sapodilla tree) almost a thousand years ago. Chewing gum made with chicle and other latex products was developed in the 1860’s and soon attained wide popularity.

Lastly, mesh Spectrum The sweetner Xylitol used in Orbit, Wrigley’s claim to sugarless fame, was found last fall to cause cancer in laboratory rats. The study, done at SUNY at Stony Brook Dental School, revealed that Xylitol is ten times sweeter than regular sugar. Moreover, a cavity experiment in which school children were to chew Orbit gum for several years was abruptly halted in the wake of the Xylitol findings. A Squire Hall candy counter employee reported that the most popular brands of gum among students are Trident and Carefree sugarless bubble gums, and Triden Cinnamon. Grind those jaws People chew gum for a variety of reasons; some like the flavor, others like the baseball cards (1 48-year old tradition). Still others enjoy the Bazooka Joe comics and fortunes. “I like to chew gum because it keeps my mouth busy,” said one person. “Only thing is, I hate it when people chew like cows, expecially in lectures or in the I c^ 01 More ' library.” BUBBLE TROUBLE: bubbles are being blown, and burst, than ever before. For some smokers -trying to chewing quit, gum chewing is substitute gum begins with preparation and blending of gum base materials, chicle and latex products such as sorva and jelutong. These provide a smooth, uniform consistency. In blending, the gums are first then melted with ground, pressurized steam. Next, the gum base is sterilized and purified by oral gratification, “I don’t think about wanting a cigarette as much when I’m chewing,” said one ex-puffer Many consider gum chewing sexy while others find it “It’s the downright repulsive. cracking sound that gets to me,” said one irritated gum-gazer.

Royals victors; heat the ECC Kats 68 58 The hoopster Royals retained their superiority over Erie Community College with a 68-58 win against the Kats, their second such victory of the season at Clark Hall Thursday. Buffalo now owns a 11-7 record with one game remaining. The Royals had an especially poor start they were down 0-12 with two team fouls before finally obtaining their first goal. But when the Royals got started, they couldn’t be stopped. UB outscored the Kats 20-2 at one point to sprint to a 26-18 lead, never to trail again. Every Royal contributed to the win. Kris Schum lead Buffalo with 20 points while sophomore Gaby Gray matched rebounds and points at 16. Senior Reginia Frazier also had a successful game with nine assists, four steals, and 11 points. - No execution With Erie’s center hurt and not playing, the Kats attempted to utilize an outside game but did not execute successfully as they failed to crash the boards for rebounds. Cousins’ main concern was to deny Erie the inside game. “They would have needed to shoot 65 percent from the outside,” she claimed. “You can only get so much from an outside gagae,” Erie ($ach Santo Desain thought his team played poorly as the Kats shot 15 percent from the line and their defense provided many opportunities for Buffalo to score. “The kids (from U.B.) did a great job,” he said. “They made us make the mistakes.” Cousins did not think Erie’s free throw percentage was a major determinant of the game. “Erie’s weakness is against rttan-to-man. If they were in the game mote, we would have pressed more,” she said. According to. Cousins, the Royals have tne endurance to press for the entire minutes. ‘ '* Tomorrow the Royals will terminate their season against DTouville. Cousins does not expect too much difficulty in anticipating a win. The game will begin at 7 p.m. in Clark Hall. With the eligibility problems of the Royals’ line up (four players will not play this season), their less active players have attained valuable playing experience. Since Frazier is the only senior on the squad antf the other players have picked up more playing time than usual. Cousins expects to field a strong team next year. “My players are the best,” she said. “They have a lot of heart.” -Suzan Rury The men’s bowling Bulls defeated powerful Buffalo State by a total of 138 pins Wednesday. Buffalo State was the third place finisher the Association in Collegiate Union Invitational (ACUI), just missing qualifying third game as Buffalo State tired, shooting just 869 while Buffalo scored a 908. Tony Amabile shot a 192, and Amantia threw a 21 1, while Mark Datterwich, Foster and Woikoff put on the finishing touches. for the semi-finals of the national tournament. The total pinfall was 2743 to. 2605, with Buffalo posting a shutout 3 games to 0. The first game was a sign of what was to come as UB won by 23 pins. Paul Tzinieris and Sam Amantia paced the men with scores of 194 and 192 respectively. In the second game the men’s team overpowered the Bengals of Buffalo State 961-885 as three Bull bowlers broke the 200 mark. Mike Woikoff and Amantia both fired 222, Mark Foster rolled a 208, while Chris Myers and Tzinieris rounded out the staggering total. The third game showed the value of UB’s depth as two fresh bowlers kept High series for the day was captured by Sam Amantia (625), second was Mike Woikoff (569) and third was Mark Foster (567). The men’s team consists mostly of freshmen and sophomores, and will lose only one bowler to graduation. The Bulls are looking forward to the upcoming UB invitational on Saturday, April 29th, as a to show chance their improvement from experience.

In the first event, floor exercise, it soon became evident that the Bulls had not practiced their roufines on a full sized mat, Scott Hunt went out of bounds. Nonetheless, UB fared well in that event and in thd second event, the side horse, the Bulls, a non varsity club, were very happy with their fine effort against two established varsity as all but teams. The Bulls do not have a coach are forced to provide their own transportation. They arrived late for the meet and had to sacrifice some of their warm-up are time. John Basel placed third in the floor exercise and second on the side horse. Henry Rodriguez placed third on the parallel bars and'fourth on the horizontal bar. Jamal Al-Houti competed in four of the six events and did especially well on floor exercise with tremendous height on his flips. Rounding out the team were: Hunt on floor exercise, parallel bars and vaulting; Paul Silver on still rings, side horse and vaulting; Mike Rosich on floor exercise, still rings and vaulting, and Pete Richie on vaulting.

Fencing team upset by Utica by Robert Basil Staff Writer Spectrum The University of Buffalo Fencing team was stunned by Utica College last Saturday at Clark Hall, losing for the first time this season, 10-8. Earlier in the season, the Bulls nipped Utica by the same score. Only the foil and the epee were used in the match, because Utica does not have a sabre team. The Bulls floundered immediately when Rich Sherman, on a six bout winning streak, lost in the first foil by the score of 5-4. Mike Luzzi lost the next match, 5-3. Jon Solomon, who entered the match undefeated, almost lost the third match, coming back from a 3-1 deficit to win 5-4 in overtime. Solomon, sluggish and suffering from the flu, said that he was fencing his “worst of the year.” Screeching half UB mounted a short rally, winning the next two bouts, both by the score of 5-4, giving the Bulls the lead for the only time in the match. The team’s momentum came to a screeching halt in Jon Solomon’s final match against John Hamlin, Utica’s star fencer. Solomon jumped out to a 3-0 lead and finally appeared to be out of his slump. Hamlin, a short and stocJcy, fencer, fought back with effective parries and lightning jabs. Solomon lost in overtime 5-4. Buffalo Assistant Coach Jules Goldstein commented that Solomon was keeping his duelling arm too low, rendering his upper body an easier target. This was ( Solomon’s first loss of the season and his record now stands at ten wins and one loss. UB entered the second round, the epee, behind 5-4, The last time the Bulls fenced Utica, they defeated them soundly in the second round. This time, however, Buffalo ran into trouble. Hamlin said. “Today we wanted to be more aggressive by striking them first. It worked, for we scored many of our points when we hit them on the close targets, like the hands.” Ted Pawlicki kept UB in the match by winning two of his three bouts, but Wayne Conrad and Tim Rogers could only win one of their three bouts. Too confident The spectators were brought to their feet during the last bout with Conrad battling Rick Beverly. Conrad quickly slipped to a 3-0 deficit, but inched his way back up to a 4-4 tie, making it the ninth match of the afternoon to go into overtime. After repeated clashes, Beverly finally parried Conrad’s sword away and registered a clean hit on the torso, clinching the match. “We were weaker than we would have been today,” said Coach Tom Bremer. “I guess we entered the match a little too confident after beating our top rival, Oswego last week. I’m glad we got the loss over with now.” The Bulls record fell to 5-1, while Utica’s is now The Bulls fence RIT tomorrow at Clark Hall. 1 p.m. in INTRAMURALS by Tom Luzzi WHERE THE WELL EDUCATED DRINKERS MEET. stands First loss this season Spectrum a home awaij from home they had previously defeated.

Many of the races are still tight, and next week’s games will decide which teams will advance to the playoffs. This Sunday, Waste will play the 76’s. This game should be exciting as each team is undefeated and are evenly matched. Another crucial match will take place on Monday when two undefeated teams, Wesley’s Wild Bunch and BSU, will cross paths. These games are just two of the many important games to be played.

University President Robert Ketter met the problems of the University head on Tuesday and walked away with a Faculty Senate resolution thanking him for a straightforward and candid address. Ketter’s unexpected oration touched on eight major what the University the and dilemmas facing administration is doing to solve them. The President told the Senate that after adopting a “positive” Approach to University problems, he left many faculty members with the feeling that he “lives in a world totally different” from theirs. Tuesday’s address was an effort to combat this “insular” view of his administration and come to grips with the shared crises of the University. Before launching into his discussion of the University, Ketter outlined his response to the Faculty Senate’s Administrative Evaluation report. The report, completed last April, detailed a plethora of problems in the administrative process, including poor information flow, personalized decision making and widely differing views of the administrative process on succeeding levels. To improve communication, Ketter said he plans to establish monthly meetings with all Deans, Provosts and Vice Presidents to air problems and “discuss items critical to their operations.” Ketter stressed that these will not be President’s meetings, but largely organized and conducted by the Deans. Eight problems Ketter cited included: the quality of academic programs; inadequate physical facilities which do not enhance the community of scholars; underfunding for capital equipment and operating costs; the low level of externally funded research; the need to identify a set of priorities for funding; an improved registration process; and the need to place departmental conflicts in the context of the areas Managing Editor eight areas of concern which he felt are contributing to the problem of overall low morale. Those as a whole. In the area of academic quality, which has been accompanied by a concern for admission standards, Ketter said that a feared drop in applications has leveled off recently. He did not foresee a lower quality student body being attracted to SUNY Buffalo. Ketter then turned to the matter of outside review teams. He explained that documents such as the Math Sciences Review Committee Report which was harshly critical of both the academic environment here and the central administration - are distributed freely to members of the departments involved. He said the University subjects itself to many such reviews that are on file and available to the appropriate departments but that “these reports are not available to any newspaper nor will they be made available to any newspaper.” (The Review Committee report was leaked to The Spectrum last month and the Courier Express has since filed a Freedom of Information Request for the highly sensitive document. The University has denied the request.) University - DOB villian again Ketter said that state mandated reviews of the doctoral programs here show that ‘There is no other school in New York State which has a record equal to ours “If this is any indication of the quality of our academic program, then I would have to say that we are npt doing all that bad.” Funding for library acquisitions has been the University’s Number One priority, Ketter said, but those efforts have been thwarted by the State legislature and the Division of the Budget (DOB). He said that he will continue to push for such funding, but that this year’s budget does not even include enough money to keep the libraries “even.” Facilities problems are “not going away” Ketter said, “but are getting horrendous.” SUNY Chancellor Clifton Whatron has placed Buffalo construction at the top of his “agenda for relief,” he observed. Registration woeful Accreditation problems, Ketter said, are “not casual things.” Certain programs must have funds placed at their disposal to retain accreditation and any “Academic Plan” or priority list for funding within the University should address this, he felt. - The President was clearly outraged at the registration process here. A test case he sent through the process took seven hours and two days to get registered. “1 am absolutely disgusted with what’s going on in this are,” he commented. Director of Admissions and Records (A&R) Richard Dremuk will be given the authority to “implement sorely needed changes” in registration, he added. Winding down his twenty minute report, Ketter told the Senate, “I’ve talked problems and I apologize for talking problems.” Rather than accepting his apology, the Senate unanimously passed a resolution thanking the President for the unprecendented address.

Wrong! The fact is, there were no houses around the University until about the turn of the century. The only structures existing prior to that time around the Main Street campus were the Erie & Lackawanna Railroad and the Lewis J. Bennett Limestone Quarry. The railroad is now part of Conrail and the quarry pit was largely filled in to make way for the houses that now stand there. These houses were not originally built next to each other, but separated from one another by as much as 100 feet. Houses have since been built, filling those spaces. Behind the houses often stood a horse stable or a chicken coop, or both. Most of these have since been converted into garages. A little strange As the years passed, trees, houses, grass and families all grew up together. The neighborhood soon became part of the large Dutch-German community that once dominated Buffalo’s East Side. “When we first moved here, my husband and I were just newlyweds,” recalls longtime resident Helen Schedspurg. “We used to grow a garden right where the house behind mine now stands Everybody had a garden some had flowers instead of but everybody had vegetables one . . . sometimes we didn’t — - speak English for days, especially when the snow locked us up in the house.” Another elderly resident, Rita Faunmeyer. sent both her sons to the University of Buffalo. “In those days, the only non-German people who lived here were a few University professors. I remember one especially, he divorced his wife around 1935. The scandal was so bad that when he died about ten years later, only a few people went to the funeral. We liked, the ‘college people’ as we called them, but we always thought that they were a little strange.” "When the Depression came.” Rita continued, “the professors were the only ones here who had a always paycheck Everything got cheaper and the cheaper and people’s paychecks could buy them more and more. Some people got very jealous because of this, but they didn’t know that at the time the college people gave a lot of money to the parish church (St Joseph’s). The church would use this money to help make sure no one starved.” The Depression has come to be the greatest memory in the minds of local residents. It was an event that lingered until the coming of WWI1. 'Home grown’ ones During the war, many residents became involved the in production of munitions and weapons. The Pierce-Arrow plant from Car was converted production to the manufacture of airplane engines for fighter planes Other plants produced everything from guns to tank parts. One woman, Mary B. Levitan, worked on (he Manhattan Project as a chemist. “We were told to separate the radium ,frym the uranium, then purify the riPdium,” she remembered. “They led us to believe that our objective was to get pure radium for some secret use. But after Germany surrendered, the truth got out. The real idea was to purify the uranium, then ship it to Oak Ridge where the LI-235 isotope was separated. From there it was shipped west to Alamagordo where it was used in the Little Boy type atomic bomb.” Little Boy Hiroshima was dropped on After the war, the G.l Bill sharply increased enrollment at the University of Buffalo. For the first time, off-campus housing appeared in the form of fraternity and sorority houses. “We used to call them trouble makers and remembered Carl rowdys,” Munchen. “Hell, compared to the weird ones we got living next to us now, the fiat people were damn angels! Oh, they maybe got drunk once in a while and some had cars that coulda’ used a new muffler, but at least when they smoked a cigarette ya’ didn’t have to worry if it was one of those ‘home grown’ ones.” Enrollment continued to grow until it finally became clear that the University would have to expand. So, in the late 50’s and early 60’s, Acheson, Diefendorf, Norton, Clement and Goodyear Halls were among buildings constructed to handle the increase. But as the University matured so did the neighborhood around it. Local residents saw their children grow up, get married and move away.

The first change took place over a period of years. The large East Side German community was being displaced by a quickly growing black community. At the same the time, black consciousness movement was developing in Buffalo. The movement in this city was marked by uncommon nonviolence, but this did not calm the nerves of the elderly residents. They moved. As result, a most of the neighborhoods immediately to the south of the University neighborhood are black.

Call 884-2013 for further information. swmg Thirty-six candidates began campaigning last Friday for ten Student Association (SA) positions. The elections will be held March 1. 2 and 3 following almost two weeks of what promises to be intense politiking The candidates were informed Friday of the campaign’s rules and regulations by Election and Credentials (E&C) Director Rob Whitaker. The rules govern everything from spending limitations to the location of posters throughout the University. Whitaker is making sure that all candidates do not exceed their spending quota by asking them to submit a running audit to E&C Friday and a final audit at the close of the campaign. SA President Dennis Delia said, “This is E&C’s election and they will do the best job possible to keep it clean.” E&C will examine any complaint and decide on the validity of the protest. In the case of a legitimate protest, E&C may publically censor the guilty candidate, fine his campaign fund or, if the offense warrants, expel the Candidate from the election Despite the clarity of the regulations, a minor debate arose concerning endorsements. Candidates questioned E&C officials on exactly what groups can endorse. Delia responded, “Only The Spectrum can endorse candidates since it is the only organization who interviews all the candidates and makes its decision objectively." Groups and faculty members have been asked to refrain trom publically supporting candidates. Candidate forums E&C emphasized that in order to prevent any difficulties, candidates should come to the Committee if they plan on undertaking anything which may be the least bit controversial. E&C rules on the legality of any act and its decision stands despite possible opposition from candidates. Two forums will be held to acquaint students with the candidates, the first of which will be February 24 at I p.m. in Haas Lounge. The other forum will be the following Monday at 9 p.m. in Porter Lounge At this time all candidates will give short speeches and students will have the opportunity to pose questions to the prospective officers. Five parties and eight independent candidates are taking part in this year’s election. Four candidates are running for each of the following offices: President, Executive Vice President, Vice President for Sub-Board I, Inc., and Director of Student Affairs. Three students are vying for each of the following positions: Director of Academic Affairs and Director of Student Activities and Services. Eight candidates are looking to garner one of the three available Student Association of the State University (SASU) positions. The most highly contested position appears to be that of Treasurer as six candidates are Joel Mayersohn seeking that office. IRCB Financial problems clearing by Daniel S. Parker year when an inventory for the Campus Editor month of September showed that “IRCB was walking a fine line between breaking even and being‘in the red’,” according to Kagan that explained Drucker “way September’s inventory was down” and that “it generally is a lousy month because there are all kinds of problems.” IRC Vice President Stephanie Freund that the explained possible pilferage problem could be examined now that financial figures will soon be made available. IRCB Business Manager Harvey Reiss said it would be hard to examine the possible'pilferage problem because of the specific the accounting procedures corporations uses. “The financial report is a positive indication that IRCB is out of the forest,” he claimed “The financial future is looking bright.” Another problem that the Board is examining is the possibility of suing last year’s Board of Directors for holding a banquet and failing to collect money The IRCB banquet, held last May, was supposed to cost approximately $4.50 per person, but only $333 was collected from the 150 people who were supposed to attend. IRCB Inter-Residence Council Business (IRCB), the corporate arm of its parent structure, the IRC, appears to be financially stable as the Board of Directors attempts to solve many problems of the past. Preliminary figures from a recent inventory for the period ending January 31, suggest that the corporation is “in the black” according to Chairman of the The Board Jeff Kagan. corporation, which divides its into operation financial a service, a travel refrigerator rpntal service, and the operation of three food stores the Underground, the Grub and the Elhcottessen, is stable definitely financially according to Board Advisor Bruce Drucker. Exact financial figures were not available. The financial problem of the corporation was made public last semester when IRCB to- make good on its disputed $15,000 promise to IRC. In fact, the lost corporation approximately $2000 last year. The — Possible pilferage The problem incurred a loss of approximately $1100 for the affair. New attitudes Drueker explained, “The Board is considering a suit knowing that several members of the present Board named as will be co-defendents because they were placed on the Board prior to the banquet.” Kagan said that legal advice is being sought. 1 RGB is also planning to refund the money to seven students who had to pay full fare for the Christmas vacation flights. The “Group Ten” flights allowed for a discounted airfare, but because some students failed to show, others were forced to pay the full fare. As a result, 1RCB is going to absorb the loss and refund the money to the seven students who were required to make additional Board members payments. recommended at a meeting on January 29 that the corporation check into ways of preventing the problem from recurring. Members of the Board that emphasized personality conflicts are being discussed, and have been brought out into the open, but are no longer “impeding the progress of the corporation.” The suspension of Ellicottessen Manager Dave Malat on February 8, “because the store was found to be unclean after a shift change,” according to Malat “was a punishment suspension and everything is fine,” he said. Some other Board members contend that Malat was suspended for disobeying Board policy, but that his reinstatement on February 12 “has resulted in a change in attitude.” ■ increased this Better Hurryl Last FEW Days 1 j SA elections are in To Reap The Rewards of Our Annual 10% ,.50% DISCOUNT SALE Mon/, Mony Ro# Gifts, Truly Spectacular Values St • Pre-Inventory Sole!

Ajaye was born in New York but moved-to Los Angeles when young. Like many other contemporary comedians, the essence of Ajaye’s humor is largely autobiographical. “Like, you break up with some chick,” Ajaye explains, “and you think, T can’t live without her,’ and six months later, you’re surviving and you’re thinking about all the funny things you did to get going over to her house, peeking on her back — her window, whatever and you tell somebody about it, and they say, *Oh yeah, I did it too,’ and you start to laugh. It’s funny Ajaye never wanted to be an actor, just a comedian. He tried to postpone the decision whether to become a comedian or not by going to Columbia Law School but found it “impossible to turn off the urge to. make people laugh.” Ajaye impressed the critics with his acting skill in the hit movie Car Wash.

The report details "substantial disagreements” which have resulted in threats of secession and proposals for an autonomous applied mathematics department. The committee, however, felt such a formal split “would probably and be counterproductive” suggested that the applied faction in the Department could be strengthened by attracting a more diverse applied faculty. The Review Committee was commissioned, in part, to consider the problem of a dichotomous Math Department. Several applied mathematicians were disappointed that the committee report did not recommend a separation of their discipline. “The mathematics applied group lost lace with the Review Committee's report,” said Applied Brian Mathematics Professor Hassard “We had high hopes.” Hassard did not believe the split in the department to be serious. The Review Committee report, in addition to detailing the Mathematics Department potential split, painted a gloomy portrait of academic life at this and University seriously questioned the leadership qualities of the Capen Hall administration Report allegedly confidential University President Robert Ketter, citing a long-standing University policy, has repeatedly refused to release the report to the campus community or to the local press. He has claimed such reports are commissioned with the understanding that they will only be distributed to those involved. The Administration has also claimed that a specific agreement to keep the report confidential with the committee exists. That, however, is being disputed. According to graduate student Steve Makke, a the Faculty of and Natural Sciences, a cover letter to a posted copy of the report placed no restrictions on its circulation.

Mathematics is concerned with practical applications of mathematics on specific problems, such as theoretical biology and magnetohydrodynamics. Pure math is more abstract and may not be immediately applicable in science. There is considerable the disagreement regarding separation of the two areas, and many mathematicians totally reject the labels. One senior level math faculty member said, “We feel insulted by those who claim that Topology and Physics are unrelated. They simply fly in the face of science.” Past problems add up The history of the conflict is as much shrouded in disagreement as the definitions of the two areas of mathematics. Many professors believe that the sources of the Review Committee report. Math Professor I,owell Schoenfeld felt the alleged rift began over five years ago. Several members of the Faculty pushed for the resignation of then Department Chairman Nicholas Kazarinoff, an applied mathematician when he backed an Administrative that proposal would have forced faculty members producing not “adequate” amounts of research to take on an additional teaching assignment. One professor termed Kazarinoff “a dictatorial agent of the Administration.” Schoenfeld continued that the faculty split with the Chairman was mistakenly associated with animosity towards the Applied Group. Mathematics “The of the well-being Applied Mathematics Group,” said one senior Mathematician, Pure “became equal to Kazarinoff’s well-being. Pure Mathematicians have always done everything to promote applied math here. This so-called schism is, in fact, a hoax.” Applying autonomy Kazarmoff resigned in the fall of 1975. University President Robert Ketter has said publicly that Kazarinoff resigned to pursue research. Many Math faculty strongly disagree with Kefter’s explanation, claiming that the United University Professions (UUP), the faculty union, convinced him not to rehire the chairman Shoenfeld said, “Ketter was taken. He is unwilling to acknowledge his mistake.” Ketter, in a statement printed in the Buffalo E vening News said that the divide is academic in nature, and is by no means unique to this University. As reported in the News: This University’s Math Sciences, said Ketter, “is in exactly the same situation as many schools across the country, in that there is disagreement over whether the major emphasis should be on pure mathematics or what is called mathematics.” applied According to The Reporter , said question of the emphasis has been building for at least five years, leading to considerations of whether “pure” Ketter mathematicians should vote on of “applied” mathematicians and whether promotions departments should be merged or separated. department Chairman, The A.D. MacC.illivray, himself an applied mathematician, disagreed MacGillivray felt that no split exists with the Applied Mathematicians and said he would prefer to concentrate on future directions of the Mathematics Department. Professors Kazarinoff and James Greenberg asserted that a definite problem exists and said, “MacGitiivray is an incredibly naive person.” One of the primary reasons that Applied Mathematicians at this University are pushing for autonomy is a desire for control of personnel hiring decisions. High level professors believe that the University has missed the chance to hire quality Applied top mathematicians because the Department failed to release job notices in time.

Page five �EDITORIAL Forum for all Prior knowledge Students at this University must think hard about the upcoming Student Association elections. This year more than ever, because of the mounting criticism of the control of this University from within and .without, students must demand a more active role in making academic and administrative decisions. Yet student input into this decision making cannot be sought haphazardly, and those students doing the inputing cannot be chosen at random. Today’s forum for SA candidates is the perfect place to begin to grill the people running for office on how they can better the quality of student life here and on how aware they are of the problems facing this University. Go to the forum at 1 p.m. today in Haas Lounge in Squire Hall. Be demanding of the candidates; ask them the most pointed questions possible. What about the transition to the Amherst Campus? How has it disrupted student activities here? What about overbudgeting and the direct control by students of their own money? Be loud. Be angry. Some people are better suited to fill student government positions than others. The students who vote them in will make the decision. Ask the right questions. Make the right decision. Address We commend President Ketter for his straightforward approach to some of the University's problems. In addressing the Faculty Senate last Thursday, Ketter showed a sorely needed concern for a more public stance by the University Administration. However, we remind him that if he is genuinely interested in shedding the Ainistration's "insular" label, he must do more. Much more. He rjUist answer'the serious questions raised almost a year ago by the Faculty .Senate Administrative Evaluation team. Why do different administrators hold conflicting views of how the decision making process is structured? Why did so many members of the Administration raise a concern for decision making based on personalities? Why do various levels of the Administration hold back informationfrom each other? Ketter must come face to face with sinking faculty and student morale and the lack of confidence in his Administration. And again, we stress for the President that the real significance of harshly critical documents like the Math Sciences Review Committee Report is not whether the report's dismal views are public or not public: is not that the President can find 83 other reports which say that everything here is fine, is not that we must be a very secure institution to allow these committees on our campus in the first place. No, the real impact of the Review Committee Report is that many members of the University community perceive the academic environment here as dismal, the Administration as inept and the future of the institution as bleak. The campus is disillusioned. It is Ketter's responsibility to recognize this and attempt to deal with the sources of that disillusionment. The deepest sources, as we all know, are construction and budget woes. The President's efforts on the Albany front have been admirable. He has fought continually for our slice of an ever-shrinking pie. However, students are largely ignorant of these constant battles. This is one symptom of an almost critical lack of communication between the President of this University and its students. We therefore propose that President Ketter address a special joint session of the Undergraduate and GraduateStudent Associations and the general student body in Haas Lounge of Squire Hall. We further propose that, similar to the President's address Tuesday, Ketter candidly deal with the crises facing SUNY Buffalo. SA and GSA should begin efforts immediately to set up the address. We only ask for the same respect shown the Faculty Senate. An hpur's worth of time at this critical point in the University's history seems, to us, to be a reasonable request.

I find it hard to believe that the faculty and the administration knew nothing about the cheating The recent concern of cheating in the School of Management has compelled me to write this letter. It is my opinion that the administration is handling the matter in a typical bureaucratic fashion, seeking to protect itself from its own faults. Dean Foster, in your memorandum to the undergraduate students you claim, and I quote, “It has come to my attention from a variety of sources that cheating in the School’s undergraduate program, and especially in the Registered Accounting Program, has become both systematic and extensive.” Let us ask, When did this first come to your attention? 1 have personally witnessed many complaints of cheating throughout my brief interim here at the School of Management. These complaints were addressed directly to the faculty here at the school. Are your syndicate long before it was disclosed. Why weren’t measures taken to redress the wrong before a student was caught? Dean Foster, I quote f rom your memorandum once again, “The faculty in general, and the accounting faculty in particular, will shortly be formulating procedures to forestall cheating on lines of communication so screwed up that you never received any knowledge to the matter of cheating before the recent incident? Dean Alutto, will you make the claim that ?ou had absolutely no prior knowledge of cheating before> February 7, 1D78? exams.” Don’t you think it’s a little late? Gentlemen, I agree that severe penalties must' be enforced to repress cheating. However, condemning the first student for what, in actuality, is partially your own fault seems a little too harsh It is the fault of the faculty and the administration that conditions became so lapse as to allow a coalition to collude on examinations.

CPAs and honesty To the Tthlor As >111 Accounting major with firsthand knowledge of the School of Management's cheating problems. 1 feel compelled to fully explain the situation The past few years have seen a tremendous increase in the number of Accounting majors at universities across the country. As a result of this rapid influx, it has become increasingly difficult to secure a good job without a (i.l’.A. in excess of 3.5. Predictably, this had led to intense competition within UB's Accounting program. It has also led to widespread cheating. Over the past two.years. cheating has become so* rampant that, on more than one occasion, groups of students have felt free to openly exchange and discuss exams while they were became evident that these It soon isolated incidents; rather, it appeared that the School of Management was infested with a large number of compulsive cheaters who would stop at nothing to get an A in a course. At the end of last semester, when these problems came to a head, groups of students voiced their complaints both Ao Dean Alutto and various sympathetic faculty members. Acting on these complaints, the Accounting faculty established procedures designed to thwart cheating on exams. being given, were not On the first test given under the new guidelines, a student was accused of cheating. It was at this time that Dean Foster sent the memo that was reprinted in last Wednesday's The Spectrum. This memo seems to have caused some controversy because some people believe that expulsion is too severe a penalty for a student who has been found cheating. This argument, however, is not valid for various reasons. Certified Public Accountants are expected to report on the fairness of a firm’s financial statements for the thousands of investors who are considering purchasing the company’s stocks or bonds. For this reason, a C.P.A. is held to the highest standards of professional conduct. It is therefore improper to allow a student to enter this field after he has been shown to be dishonest. Furthermore, consider the plight of those honest students who lost the possibility of a public accounting job when dozens of others piled up A’s in their courses through unscrupulous means. Unfortunately, it is too late to rectify the injustice done to those of us who are graduating in May. However, should the School of Management strictly adhere to the policies that they are advocating, Jhere is at least some hope that future Accounting students at this University can both be honest and get the job offers and graduate school acceptances that they deserve.

Am of cheating? 24 February 1978 To the Editor. It seems the management department isn’t the only one with cheating problems. I just came back from a calculus 142 mid-term and am thoroughly disgusted with what was going on. People were reading answers out of open notebooks, exchanging test answers, and talking about answers. I believe it is the fault of our instructor, a Dr. who is the most without question incompetent instructor I have ever come in contact with. His teaching methods include turning away from the class and mumbling while he scribbles on the board, a practice he continued during the test while the maggots xeroxed their neighbor’s exams. I can only hope someone with authority looks into this before the next fiasco. Yuan, Dan Sheridan �FEEDBACK Guest Opinio Once again, the issue of arming the University Police has arisen. We, at the University Police, are concerned over the repetitiveness of the issue. We take a great deal of pride in the job we perform and find it very disheartening and demoralizing to have to defend ourselves every time an issue like this one is raised. The purpose of this letter is not to take any stand on the issue, but to present some facts that we are certain very few students know. In 1976, of the 30 municipalities in Erie County reporting to the New York State Department of Criminal Justice Services, the State University of New York at Buffalo ranked third (3rd) in serious crimes and fifth (5th) in overall crimes. In 1977, the University of Buffalo had a higher total crime rate than any of the following municipalities reporting crimes in Erie County: Village of Hamburg, Village of Lancaster, Village of Akron, Village of East Aurora, Town of Aurora, Town of Boston, Town of Brant, Town of Orchard Park, Town of Eden, Town of Grand Island, Town of Holland, Town of Lancaster, City of Lackawanna, City of Tonawanda, Village of Kenmore, Village of Alden, Village of Depew, Village of Sloan, Village of Gowanda, Village of Springville, Village of Angola, Village of Biasdell, and the State University College at Buffalo. The only municipalities with more reported crimes than the University of Buffalo were, consecutively: the City of Buffalo, Town pf Cheektowaga, Town of Amherst, Town of Tonawanda, Town of West Seneca and Town of Hamburg. The last two towns had a similar number of total crimes reported to that of the University of Buffalo. In some years, in fact, our total crime rate has surpassed theirs.

He was shot numerous times in the buttocks and his assailants stole $ 1 50 from his wallet. In at least two instances, University Police Officers were shot at with guns. Two officers were shot at by a sniper on Flint Road on the Amherst Campus, and two officers were shot at by a passing motorist in the Farber Parking Lot on the Main Street Campus.

They would have to hire more men and assign them permanently to our campuses In the last year there have been three police officers shot and killed in Erie County None of them knew beforehand that an attack would be made against them. Maybe Mr Kluger can predict when an armed response is necessary, but most people can’t. The death rate for police officers on duty is 4 2 per 100,000 per year We can predict that there will probably be a University Police officer killed at this University within the next ten years, and it won’t matter whether he is armed or not ■Perhaps Jeff Lessoff, who so strongly opposes arming of the University Police, might convince the Student Association to provide funds to buy bullet proof vests for the University Police (they are about $35 cheaper than guns). As for training and experience, any one can become a good shot with a revolver after several hours of qualified instruction. In fact, all members of the University Police have completed the New York State Police Pistol Course and are qualified to use firearms of various types. It's not how good a shot you are. hut how good your judgement is in using that weapon The men and women in the University Police Department respond to just as many calls on a per capita basis as the Buffalo Police or the Amherst Police and the calls have just as wide Two sides to guns To the Editor. In the Friday issue of The Spectrum, L Kluger stated that since “Great Britain survives (without U.B, could do as well.” Bobbies carrying guns) U.B. is not Unfortunately, Great Britain. Furthermore, and unlike in Great Britain (which to their credit has had strict gun control laws for a long ... time), firearms (legal and illegal) are readily available to almost any U.S. citizen. In addition, it is really not practical to compare the attitude that the British public might have concerning the use and possession of firearms with that of the U.S. public. Mr. Kluger also has the misconception that the Town of Amherst Police can be trained to respond to incidents in Ellicott through the use of simple “maps and tours.” Unfortunately, again, the Amherst Police are not nearly as well trained as the University Police are when it comes to properly handling incidents concerning students and/or non-students on the U.B. campus. As far as Mr. Kluger’s reference to “self-rule” goe»: since when does the democratic process of voting guarantee that the “-right” decision will be made? Remember, it was the voters who e'ected Richard Nixon to the Presidency. Now, with regard to Gerry Walsh’s paranoia ridden letter, I fail to understand how a supposedly intelligent U.B. student can assume that the U.B. police officers would be handed firearms without first going through rigorous training procedures? Thus far, 1 have not heard any reasonable arguments against the arming of U.B. police officers. However,.one might ponder the following question. Is it not possible that, the arming of U.B. police officers might cause some potential criminal offenders to react by carrying firearms themselves and thus substantially increase the danger to both police officers and students? Should the issue of firearms for U.B. police officers ever actually come up before the U.B. administration; 1 hope that those involved in the final decision (administrators, students, etc.) take a more realistic view of both sides of the situation.

Snedden Sr. D Jay Laurie Grabowski J McKinnon Mark P'rentzel Willie J Nichols William R Flanders Susan Grey’s article, “K.D. Whitehead on Abortion” in the February 15th issue points up a problem with media coverage of this subject. it is subtitled Although “The Conservative Viewpoint,” in reality it is “A liberal’s summary of the conservative viewpoint.” The author quotes bits and pieces of Whitehead’s position, often out of context or proportion, sometimes with sarcastic comment of her own. 1 have noticed that pro-abortion spokesmen are generally allowed to express their views in their own article or an article written by someone sympathetic to their view. There are good and foolish arguments both for and against abortion on demand. Spokesmen on both sides range from the articulate to the hysterical. However, when the media cover abortion, they invariably contrast the weakest, most narrow-minded arguments against abortion with the most effective arguments in favor of legalization. The most unpopular, inarticulate politicians available are labeled as “typical” of right-to-lifers, whereas the other side is always represented by its most sensitive, compassionate spokesmen. If a person such as Califano criticizes abortion, the TV reporter or newspaper will invariably bring up the point that he is personally biased because of his Catholicism. People who favor legalization are implicitly considered “unbiased” or neutral, because their own value system or ideology isn’t mentioned. You may think I’m exaggerating the effects of the media bias. Doesn’t it seem strange that right-to-lifers, who hold the same views that the overwhelming majority of Americans of all religions held 15 years ago, are suddenly considered narrow-minded extremists? Does morality change as fast as the Gallup poll does? I urge all fair minded readers and journalism people, regardless of their own stand on abortion, to fight for both sides to be presented on an equitable basis in the media I encourage those who are interested to read Whitehead’s book, or contact Buffalo Diocesan Office of Pro-Life Activities for information, 853-2531. Paul Dluxosz Friday, 24 February 1978 . The Spectrum . Page seven �Reactor reaction To the Editor. Recent correspondence in this newspaper has considered the dispute over the safety of the proposed activities of the Nuclear Science and Technology Facility (NFSTF). The appropriate forum for settling these questions is the hearing process provided by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The petition directed to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission raised substantial issues not considered in (he original NSTF request. The NSTF denied the importance of (he issues raised but chose not to contest the petitions in any other way. It is necessary to qualify a statement in the letter from the NSTF. Rachel Carson College has not taken a position on the appropriateness of the campus reactor fuel transfer proposal nor has Rachel Carson College signed the petition requesting a hearing on this issue. In fact, it would be in appropriate for us to intervene in such proceedings. The role of the college in this dispute has been to promote dialogue and open the issue for discussion by the campus community. Rachel Carson College did sponsor the only campus forum which considered the proposed fuel storage. Several individuals constituted themselves as a group named The University Community Concerned "About Reactors (UCARE). Although many of the signers of the petition to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission do consider themselves to be members of Rachel Carson College, they do not speak for the college. The open forum which we sponsored revealed a broad spectrum of opinion on the proposed reactor activities. Our college encourages students to learn to think clearly and tries to prepare students to take a psoition based upon what they have learned. Unfortunately, most students interested in learning more about nuclear energy have very few opportunities to do so<at this University. We would be happy to share the responsibility for teaching such courses to science and non-science majors with any unit that* wishes to do so. in accordance with our charter, we wish to promote an informed debate within the campus community about environmental problems and nuclear safety is certainly one of those problems. Peter Gold, Acting Master Rachel Carson College f Nuclear competence questioned To the t'ditor This letter is in response to the one by Charlie Thomas and Martin Haas of the Nuclear Science and Technology Facility (hereafter called “the reactor people”) which appeared in The Spectrum, February 17. Their letter and comments to The Spectrum reporter defended their actions in the recent radioactive leak from the reactor and denied that their procedures were “bush league in competence.” To recount events concerning the reactor leak, on October 7 of last year, the campus reactor was closed down by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The reason was patently obvious. The reactor was leaking 500 gallons per day of radioactive water at levels 227 times the maximum permissible concentrations allowed by the NRC, the so-called “safe levels.” The reactor people claim “the leak was a matter of interpretation.” But, in fact, over 13,000 gallons of radioactive water leaked out before “the NRC sent an inspector unacquainted with this facility,” who, I surmise, was quite alarmed. In my experience, it is a cold day in hell before the NRC shuts down a reactor for breaking the rules, so thank goodness for “unacquainted” inspectors. In order to repair the leak, the reactor people would have had to have transferred all the radioactive fuel from the reactor. The reactor people attest to the safety of the proposed equipment and procedures which I classified as “bush league in competence.” A storage barrel with a plexiglass top for holding these toxic materials. A fork lift to drop the fuel elements through a hole in the floor. Campus Security to check the water levels on weekends. And so on. As support for their procedures, the reactor people cited the reviews by the Campus Nuclear Safety Committee and the NRC Staff. “These analyses have demonstrated the soundness of our procedures." This is unadulterated eyewash, as I would hope the reactor people would know. The final arbiter in the contested proceeding is the NRC Atomic Safety and Licensing Board. In that public forum, the reactor people would present their case, be cross-examined and the Board would make the safety judgment. The reactor contains a large amount of highly toxic materials and citizens have the right to ensure that they are handled safely. organizations, University Community The Concerned About Reactor (UCARE) and the North *nrs v im the service' these pavs * Buffalo Food Coop, simply exercised their legal rights as citizens to protect their interests, by filing a petition for a public hearing. This is what the reactor people call “an opportunity for . . . impediment.” As a result, of the shutdown, two classes and research “important to the National Energy Program” have been affected. Rather than vent their frustrations at groups doing an important public service, and the NRC for sending “an inspector unacquainted with this facility,” a little humility and self-criticism is in order. The reactor people have no one to blame but themselves. on-again, off-again for over Since the leak has been a year and a half, the reactor could have been shut down in a more orderly manner without disrupting students. Many of us are sorry that students were disadvantaged by the shutdown. However, there are some lessons here for students who are trying to decide what career to enter. If you are an engineering student who intends to go into reactor work, you should be forewarned that there is a large and growing section of people who will not like you, who think you are doing something which endangers their health and safety. Under this incessant attack, you will become bitter and fabricate rationalizations for your actions, that outsiders are taking “an opportunity for . . . impediment,” when, in reality, citizens are only availing themselves of their constitutional rights. You will be aligned with big money interests such as banks and utilities against considerable community resentment: labor (not increasing energy construction. trades) against consuming automation of the work place, consumer, poor, black and senior citizen groups against electric rate increases to pay for “cheap” nuclear power, environmentalists against nuclear pollution, and farmers against high voltage transmission lines. Take this opportunity caused by a cancelled class to ask yourself whether you want to enter an industry which is being phased out by social pressure, or whether, instead, you want to face the brighter future of solar energy and conservation with many of us. Several courses at the University would lead you into this growing field. For your sake, don’t become a reactor person.

The Spectrum Friday; 24 February 1978 . �Patti Smith: poetry, anarchy in fervent rocking madness by Terence Kenny Spectrum Music Staff On Sunday afternoon Patti Smith entered a Buffalo hospital and was given a shot for the Russian flu. Later that evening Patti entered Clark gym and gave us a shot of magnetic impulse and anarchistic revery. And we needed it. The gym filled up pronto, with globs of people squatting on the floor while the laid back voyeurs sought refuge on the bleachers. No one really knew what to expect billed as new wave night this event had an eerie aura, would Buffalo go crazy for some punk I rock. Crowded around the front of the stagfe was a small but vibrant clique of Patti Smith freaks that had already bared witness to her antics either in CBGB's or some other equivicabte hovel. The rest were all eager to discover what this woman who has been labeled the "Queen of Punk" is all about. When it was over no one had to ask, they realized why they keep hearing Patti Smith's name and not her music. She is too vofitile and vulgar to have a top forty hit.

Pop hurling his Ludwig 2 Bs into the audience at the end of their performance. Shortly after the Secrets faded into backstage oblivion, Patti Smith and band entered the gym. The crowd went immediately to their feet, eagerly awaiting the message. Clad in a bizzare multi-layered array of waistcoats and tee shirts, Patti went right into the title track of her first LP, Horses. As Johnny was smashing his head against the locker, juvenile cries of "sit down in front" popped up quickly from the inquisitive milieu to the rear.

Tr .. mh> �Martin Luther King: the doctor, the man the morale , by Michael F. Hopkins Spectrum Arts Staff Now we shall speak of a man. So many. So many years it has been, since the Montgomery Bus Boycott, since the Freedom Rides, since Birminghan, since many gave a damn. The March, and the Dream borne from the deep rooted soil to the bastions of authority. A man whom sleepers envied and too many well-wishers took for granted as a god. I look around today and wonder where the dreams went. Luther King, Jr. is the raising of issues and questions that each and all should have answered long before the first appearance of the Doctor with the bus strike in Montgonery. One may say, concerning human rights, that there should have been no question. One aspect pointed out by Dr. (portrayed quite well by Paul Winfield) is the duplicity- of King the chains we bear and too often brainwashing most whites in this The darkie" received by country extends from the cradle to the grave. Nobody escapes.) The strength of the nonviolence is in the power of people to their own with illustrate, willingness to resist injustice without brutality, the need of those in power to rid themselves of their self-defeating hostilities. A dangerous gamble, one resting on the inherent goodness of all people, and one for which Dr. King gave his life long before it was stolen by an assassin's bullet. One should ask oneself, despite the seeming necessity of violence against centuries of econo-class (without hatred as which, Malcolm often stated, there would be no need for any violence, self-defense or otherwise), one question: Whether the danger lies in the gamble for Love or with the prejudice sure-shot seemingly body movements nurtured here under false masques (and of color even "divine by Drew Reid Kerr Spectrum Arts Staff order")? This question bears more than immediate investigation, for one point is clear; War, once started (or having run?), will not run out. Its end shall either linger like slow poison or cancel like a cancer run amok. We certainly face a die to be cast When Dr. King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964, all the leaders of varied cultures applauded his gentle valor and insight. The only person not the Doctor applauding was himself, whe (as the movie shows) was in the hospital due to exhaustion. The sleep of the aware Dr, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X It became apparent, whep Dr. King took a moral stand publicly denouncing the Vietnam war (and More than a dream The ballot, and the bullets served all too indiscriminately. Did it just explode (like the great minds of Dr. King and Malcolm did on their respective days) to shock, then watch while the world went on in disquieting order? Was it worn away om the surfs of calculated apathy or battered by the cold weather of hate and envy? Are they underground cultivating the hope of this world to emerge like a phoenix from the ashes? Or will we just let it burn? It may be said that the greatest significance of the recent TV dramatization about Dr. Martin choose to wear. As he said after the meeting with the Montgomery town officials concerning the Boycott, we shall never be ready to bring we have freedom to others until beaten the slave out of ourselves. He knew (and stressed througnout his life) the dangers facing people expecting their entire well being from the blind worshipping of one person, or narrowing one ideal. Dr. King knew fully well what he opened himself to. Whites would assault him, never realizing their own victimization. (This is singularly brought out by King. OLD RED MILL INN all wars), that he had caught the majority of his constituency sleeping through a revolution. Black "leaders" (many of whom were using Dr. King's image as badly as the "white liberals" they deplored) openly took potshots at the Doctor. These same "leaders" from Roy Wilkins to Dr. Ralph Bunche, a Peace prize winner himself who had applauded Dr. King's career for peace and freedom found his practice with regard to international conflict appalling. What had they been applauding all the while what thought to be they blind spiritualism? Or did federal policy of the time close their eyes? Isn't world peace a civil right? — — — The stage at Shea's Buffalo Theatre is blank, void of the slightest hint of location. The performer is on a boat, paddling slowly through calm waters. Below him are the fish he seeks, his arms pulsating up and down in the motions of vibrating fins. In this first sequence, "The Fisherman," there is the man himself, the boat and the fish, created only by body movements. From there on, I was wondering if there was anything or anyone Marcel Marceau couldn't portray. The scenario changed several times. Act One was devoted to sketches of styles and exercises. In "The Amusement Park," Marceau took us on an excursion from the shoooting gallery to the midway booths. Of course, the memorable part of this was his trip into a house of mirrors, holding onto imaginary glass and bumping into non existent walls. Next an angel arrives from the heavens, to the accompaniment of a brief tape of choral music, and he investigates the activity on this planet. Unfortunately, he mixes in with the wrong crowd and takes to our popular pasttimes; wine, women and song. The Lord interrupts our friend on every descent into corruption, usually with flashes of blue light and a retake on the holy music. The immortal clown The second half of the program starred Marceau's immortal clown. Bip, who has existed since 1947, according to the playbill. Bip first became a frustrated lion tamer who couldn't provoke his trainees to jump through his hoop. He even had a go at suicide in the next bit, which never happened because the poor boy couldn't find a suitable method that he liked! Marceau proceeded to do what I thought was the most humorous scene, "Bip Plays David and Goliath." A black monolith was placed centerstage to draw the line between the characterizations of the meek shephard and the fearful warrior. He would pounce from behind either side of the partition and David or Goliath would emerge. What really kicked off the laughter was the quickness with which M»Ceau changed from one person to the other. He would burst out with a stout posture and a gruff expression, run sround the black wall and come out in a shy, playful patter in just a matter of seconds Hits the spot The show did not end on a comic note, ironically. "Bip As A Soldier" was the only skit which moved onto tragedy. Bip accidentally stumbled onto a platoon and he nonchalantly joined them on the route to battle. The image of glory soon disappeared, as Bip was caught in a foxhole with his comrades. The scene concluded with Bip shot and dying, his body succumbing to the wound and one arm outstretched into the air, grasping for futile escape. for that if you give people thorough a understanding of what it is that confronts them, and the basic causes that produce it, they'll /, one, believe their own program; and when the people create a program, you get action. —Malcolm X create Malcolm One of the most brilliant statesman to emerge from the slogan-ridden 60's, he was an , Li ' 1; -J —continued on page Marceau is not a youngster, but he hits the spot with all ages. His impersonations of children were silly, and even the behavior of the adults he portrayed was juvenile. Just as Mark Twain used to consider himself an "innocent" in a world of the unknown, Marceau explores this theme in his sketches. A force works against each character (primarily a stroke of bad luck) and sets up the comic mishaps to come. I was basically unsure about how to approach this stunning event of pantomime. My eyes were glued to every move Marceau made and it wasn't always easy to determine what he was doing. I caught on sometimes and missed out on a few parts but my attention was held throughout both acts. The short length of the show, ninety minutes, was a compact span to cover eleven sketches and enough to wet my appetite for theatrical events. And too, it certainly convinced me to get back into the physical shape of things. 12— Friday, 24 February 1978 . The Spectrum . Page eleven �Sweet Home Players Audience approval is saving grace of play Sitting through the Sweet Home Player's production of Jack Sharkey’s play Saving Grace. I felt the same kind of culture shock I went through as a freshman when I realized that the Boulevard Mall was a hangout and chicken wings were de rigueur. It's making the ordinary extraoridinary. Saving Grace is a harmless little romantic comedy set in, as the program puts is,' Jackson Heights, Long Island. Having once lived in Jackson Heights, Queens I took this as an omen, as it turned out a correct one, because Sharkey’s script belongs to a realm of television and theater where fluff headed heroines are a dime a dozen, where real life acted out in front of an audience is too much of an intrusion. The night I went, the audience ate it up. One man loudly termed it better than anything done at the Studio Arena. — s j !A sheltered schoolgirl Grace Larkin, the main character, is thirtyish secretary for an insurance firm who lives out her fantasies by watching old movies on T.V. Her lecherous boss, Mr. Chepple, has been making passes at her for the four years she's worked for him. And for four years, Grace has been sidestepping them. The play opens with Grace and Mr. Chepple "Call me Walter" returning to her apartment after work. Nervous because Walter is the first man she's ever had in her home alone with her, Grace babbles on and on, sounding like a sheltered schoolgirl. When she tries on the Hawaiian hula outfit which is Walter's Christmas gift to her, the farcical elements of the play appear. One by one always it seems, at inconvenient times, characters who prove to be more interesting than Grace enter thorugh her apartment door, happily pairing off by the end of the play into two unlikely couples. Mary Frances Bannigan, a former student here, plays Grace with a loudness I found annoying at first but which gradually toned down into an attempt to inject the scatterbrained Grace with some sort of credibility. Looking like a cross between Carol Burnett and the late Judy Holliday, the blonde Bannigan gives a performance which genuinely improves as the play does not. David Murray, one of the most and to musicians listened loft present of the composers music scene in New York City, comes to the Katharine Cornell Theatre op March 1 at eight.

It is interesting to note at what he was murdered. He simultaneously observed 1) that the white man is no devil (None of them spit flame or green pea soup that I know of!) and 2) It is the collective economic depravity caused by whites in authority (whatever color!) that subjugates whites and all other peoples to the class daggers of racism In this nation. Compare, if you will, the similar circumstances of Dr. King's murder (assasination is a fancy word n- too fancy for the stark brutality of killing). He died just as he was amassing a Poor People's March on Washington of all colors to emphasize what the overkill military funding was a nation's strength. draining stage Phrasing and gesture The two brightest performances of this five characterplay come from Carolyn Jennings as Grace's homely sister from Ohio, and WKBW-Radio’s Music Director Jon Summers as hero Alex Docker, a telephone repairman whom Grace mistakes for a burgler. Jennings displays a great comedic flair-for phrasing and posture as she .takes the character of Harriet from a drab spinster to an amactWe woman. Summers is appropriately masculine and sensible aS Alex, the man who calls Grace "intelligent" and wins her heart. He is the most believable character in the play, displaying a full range of human emotions, but with a certain sense of toughness and humour. Adequately staged by Elaine Rebcnan, a co-founder of the Sweet Home Players, the script is in three acts and is a little too long. The plot wears thin long before the final curtain.

One catches admiration mingling with sharp wits in the scene when Dr. King deplores Malcolm's argument that hate (at least) shows black people who the enemy is. King sighs, "So we're no better than they are." Malcolm, grinning, retorts, "Who said we're any better. You're a racist." Both men smile. Yet they know too well the center of this issue: If each culture is no better, can either be any worse? This danger has been repeated thru alt of history, and even now we haven't really thought about it seriously (Witness how, too often, culture is substituted for superiority an axe to grind, rather than identity. Everyone is of an identity, knowingly or not). Even the statement Dr. King interjects, that Malcolm actually hates <foeing black because of his lifelong rejection by Whites, reminds one of the careless statements to which even these two, being human, might give in. (Remember when Dr. King won the Peace Prize? Malcolm, trying that this award was by ne means an end to the struggle, made the error of publicly saying "Martin Luther King is a chump, not a champ!” He quickly corrected that). The strong irony here occurs when Malcolm requests Martin to modify his stand on nonviolence before (he notes with regret) "even your own people will discredit you". It is when Malcolm modifies (or is it concentrates?) his stand aesthetically that he is murdered to note in exactly this way, at least on the surface. Even more notable When Dr. King's international views begin to parallel Malcolm's views, he is murdered. Suggestion? There are several (the FBI, from their own released dossiers, is projected here), but the final question is one of each individual's responsibility. We kill with our overdependence on one or two people as quickly as those who lurk in wait with bullets or lies. Dr. King and Malcolm made each person realize his full potential. Be somebody. Let us do so. It is high time to celebrate birth, not death. — Upcoming concerts February 24, Dave Van Ronk, Fillmore Room February 24, The Jumpers, Cathy Moriarty and the Pagan Babies, Buff State College February 25, Johnny and the Dicks, Hallwall's Gallery February 26, Les Brown, Shea's March 1, David Murray, Katharine Cornell Theatre March 3, Angel, The Godz, Century Theatre March 4, Gordon Lightfoot, Kleinhans March 4, Elvis Costello, Willie "Laco" Alexander and the Boom Boom Band, Buff State College MarchIO, Jerry Garcia Band, Rochester Auditorium Theatre March 12, Dollar Brand, Tralfarrtadore Cafe March 12, Leon Russell Show, Century Theatre March 17,The Hal Galper Quintet feat.

Guitarist Rick Witkowski pointed out that although the dichotomy developed unintentionally, the album does come across as a nice way of saying "goodbye to John and hello to the new group." The group is happy that any controversies failed to be fabricated with Palumbo's splitting. There's safety in numbers, and numbers don't lie. For Pittsburgh rock group Crack the Sky the numbers have changed, yet one may safely derive a conceptual flair from the sum total of it all. With their headlining performance Saturday evening in Shea's Buffalo Theatre, Crack the Sky proved that the shuffling of key components of a rock band does not necessarily denote irreversible destruction. _ Crack the Sky is in a period of transition. The group's one time singer, lyricist and philosopher, John Palumbo, has left the band, frustrated over taking certain directions with the music and making specific statements about himself. What normally happens with the departure of a person as important as Palumbo, although his leaving was relatively unpublicized, is that many of the informed become dismayed, assuming the group can never perform again. Safety we In Numbers With Crack the Sky's latest,release, not only find a graphic illustration of a transition album but also a strong disclaimer of the aforementioned myth. Safety In Numbers illuminates the gradual shift, Sky's safe stuff A sense of unity and collectiveness now solidifies Crack the Sky's stage presence. New vocalist Gary Lee Chappell stands competently between older standards, "Hold On" and "Mind Baby" as well as the later stuff, "Safety In Numbers." Guitarist Rick Witkowski and Jim Griffiths counteract heavy-handed tiffing with delicate acoustic strains. Percussionist Joey D'Amico, besides complex rhythms and syncopation, sings of "Nuclear Apathy" with a teddy bear in arms, of course. Heavy orchestral fills via string synthesizers and Gary DePaul make Crack the Sky's first encore, a cover of the Beatles' "I Am the Walrus," work. And Joe Macre is simply one of the most underrated bassists in the industry. to The magic of Crack the Sky grows from their ability combine an elusive brand of rock, delibrately Backhand pulls off of complete, toted integration Webster) and Light as it had started. by Tim Switala Spectrum Music Staff When it was announced last year that Rodan would make its final appearance, people listened, some for the first time. McVan's Nite Club, the most important club in Buffalo didicated to giving exposure to the less commercial side of rock music (progressives, glitter, punks, etc.) experienced its largest audience ever; fans standing on chairs, fans waiting to get in, simply wall to wall people. The death of what was once known as "Buffalo's premiere progressive rock baijd*' vyas . quickly transformed into the musical eveof' of the Buffalo bar scene that year. The sadness of it all was that it took the group's dissolution to finally bring the people together. If only a segment, maybe one-fourth, of that crowd would have supported the band with any consistency, Rodan would probably have never split. Such is the unique musician's syndrome in Buffalo the commercially inflicted trauma and the misnomer of "local". Light Years was projected as the first off-shoot proper from Rodan as drummer Ted Reinhardt, actually being the first to re-establish, went about linking up with Spyro Gyra. Consisting of Rodan guitarist Bruce Brucato, Talas bassist Bill Sheehan and Aurora drummer Mark Miller (formerly with the Rochester group Black Sheep), Light Years surfaced as something of a locally based "supergroup" and promised to be one of the most inventive and electra-charged arrangements ever to attempt the club circuit in Buffalo. Then, i just a matter of weeks, Light Years became the definitive good news/bad news scenario; good news for Bill Sheehan, bad news for the remainder of the band. # - It's a long, long way to Canada It seems that Sheehan was offered a position as bassist for the Canadian rock group Max Webster; the invitation coming while the group was appearing in Buffalo as a supporting act with Rush. Taking an offer he couldn't refuse," Sheehan embarked for Toronto (Sheehan has since departed from Max " Years came to It's not quite often that a group comes along with the ability to transcend simplicity and complexity without totally losing their audience. A prime illustration of this may have been Crack the Sky's performance Saturday. They may have baffled a few, but that is good. The most important image conveyed during Crack the Sky's performance was that of a band that can invent and entertain, even without John Palumbo. Someone once said these guys coujd be the next Beatles. I guess everyone's still searching for that substitution. As for me, I don't care I'm a bit more apathetic, nuclear apathetic. They tell us something's wrong with the moon, my friends, but from what I could gather Saturday night, everything's fine in Pittsburgh. KLEINHANSMUSIC HALL Buffalo, N.Y. (Wed.) Which brings us to Backhand. Rising from the ashes of Light Years, Brucato and Miller called ex-Rodan bassist Bill Ludwig (such a small world, isn't it?) and quickly prepared the curious conglomeration of a three-man jazz/rock fusion outfit to be called Backhand.

With the release of The Winter Spy Paul has firmly established himself as a new master of the espionage novel. Like the vast network of intelligence agencies, spies and diplomacy that guides global events, the plot of this exciting and well-written story is also intricate. The principal character is Edouard Rappaport, a special agent for the AVH, the Hungarian special intelligence agency. He is assigned by his superior, Ana Pecs, to participate in the murder of Robert Winter, the special advisor to the president of the United States who is on his way to an important summit meeting in Vienna. With the aide of a ruthless assassin, Rappaport carries out his assignment with admirable precision. It turns out that Winter had been a triple agent: first for the Americans, then for the Hungarians and the KGB, and then for the Americans again. Although his murder might hamper the peace talks, the AVH thought it more dangerous to keep the volatile Winter alive. Afterwards, Rappaport finds trouble escaping the country. Under the orders of Pecs, all of his connections have forsaken him. Pecs wants him arrested by the Australian police so he won't attempt to take over her position. From here on in, Rqppaport must run. lies in Pec's office. If Rapppaport can overcome the enormous security system and procure the plans, he is free; if he cannot, then the whole world is his enemy. Underlying the brisk action of the story is a fascinating subplot, the human story of Rappaport's coping with his past. This transforms a near perfect spy plot into an interesting emotional story as well. - One step further Hennissart's book embodies powerful and vivid Rappaport characterizations of time. can successfully run away from governments, his most dire foe is the onmshing current of time and his everpresent past: He swallowed his nausea at the vision of all those incomplete, intertangled lives, including his own, unraveling and hurtling toward a somber unsatisfactory close. Could one ever speak of fulfillment when so little was accomplished? He wondered why he bothered with the past at all, even for a second, when the future was racing ruthlessly toward him at such fantastic speed it was as though the earth were spinning about a bit faster each day; and as one conceived of this notion one's silence deepened. Two melancholy questions and a though more painful and unwelcome than a betrayal of trust occurred to him. "Where did my life go? What did I do with it?" I'm going to be an old man soon.

Reich, a professor at Vale University', published a book called The Greening of America. It was indeed a well-timed book: one of the first ot gather the remaining pieces of the "explosive" Sixties and attempt to extract a cohesive set of outlooks and conclusions. "Consciousness," said Reich, "takes the elements it finds and arranges them to make a life and a society that reflect man's needs and hopes. In Kesey's Sometimes A Great Notion in Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle in Wallace Stevens' poetry, in psychedelic music, man seeks to create for himself an order by which he can live To call this order 'fiction' is just a way of saying that hte only reality man has is the one he makes." I'm not sure Max Apple has read The Greening of America but I wouldn't be surprised if he did. Apple, a young writer whose name alone is enpugh to give even Hunter. Thompson pause, is the author of a charmingly outrageous collection of short stories called The Pranging of America. Coincidence, you say? Well, maybe. Yet, there are enough similarities in Reich's pshychology and Apple's fiction to suspect that they agree on more than just the idea that "America is turning colors. characters, ...

None other than Fidel Castro himself appears in "Understanding Alvarado", a story about a Cuban baseball player known as Achilles "Archie" Alvarado. One-on-one The end of the story finds Castro on the mound in a one-on-one, pitcher vs. hitter duel against ex-rookie of the year Victdr Zloto, the outcome of which will determine whether Alvaredo returns to the Chicago White Sox, or stays in Cuba to fight the revolution. "It will be more than fair," says Castro. "A former big leaguer against an out-of-shape Prime Minister. You can go back and tell the commissioner that you got a hit off Castro. Barry Goldwater will kiss your fingertips for that." After Alvarado, acting as umpire,* calls the batter out on a third strike fastball, he whispers to his wife: "Actually, the pitch was a little inside. But what the hell, it's only a game." U.S. Mailer Indeed, if there is a thread that ties all of Apple's fiction together, that is it. As Max Apple portrays it, all of life is a game: one big act of imagination irv the guise of "the real thing." Be it politics; money, health foods, even the job of being a writer in America, Apple begins with the assumption that reality need not be stretched very far to arrive at fiction. Not surprising, then, that one should find a story called "Inside Norman Mailer", in which the protagonist engages in a literary boxing match with America's most popular purveyor of the reality-as-fiction principle. After all. Mailer is a longtime fan of boxing, and has certainly become something of a myth himself over the years. For a cocky writer like Apple, even he's fair game. Come to think of it, perhaps Max Apple would disagree with Charles Reich, at least a little bit. ‘The only reality man makes," I think he'd >ay, say, "is the onehehas. one he has." —Gerard Star Stemesky li 111 irv nc They're popping up as quick as food stamp takers after the the second new wave group to debut in as blizzard.

For a good time, don't miss this one There's a regular ragtime and blues bombshell going off tonight at 8:30 p.m. in Squire Hall's Fillmore Room, when the UUAB Coffeehouse presents Dave Van Ronk and Woody Harris. And if you feei like planting a detonation of your own, you can do so tomorrow night in the Squire 1st. Floor Cafeteria, when the Coffeehouse sponsors a free open mike, starting at 8:30 p.m. Dave Van Ronk has been a fixture of the folk revival since its beginnings in the New York City folk scenes of Washinton Square and Greenwich Village. With John Hammond and Koerner, Ray, and Glover, Van Ronk soon joined The front ranks of the young white bluesmen, and he's never left them. Well-rounded Van Ronk, though, is much more than a white boy aping the bluest He's become a magnificent interpreter of an impressive variety of music, from Joni Mitchell to the maniacal Holy Modal Rounders. He was one of the original fountainheads of the ragtime guitar movement: his arrangement of the piano piece "St. Louis' Tickle" was long the mark for the folk picker to aim for. His voice is the kind of craggy growl you'd expect from someone who looks more like a shaggy bison than a folksinger. It fits his more raucous songs well; when, in Robert Shelton's words, "it breaks into the most beautiful tones I’ve ever heard", it's just as well suited for his quieter side. Dave Van Ronk's image is that of a hell-raiser, but there's no denying that he's a serious artist. Both sides are well represented on Sunday Street his new Philo Records album, which was unanimously hailed as his best work in years, and which prompted something of a renaissance in his career. Ragtime classics Woody Harris is one of the guitarists-who's carrying on the ragtime guitar tradition that Van Ronk helped to start. A New York native with a strong classical background, Jarris is also among the musicians trying to create a serious interest in American guitar; he's recently recorded After-Dinner Mints a delightful album on fellow guitarist Stefan Grossman's Kicking Mule label. His fqsion of classical and folk influences makes for interesting listening; for guitar fans, he's an education. WBFO (88.7) will broadcast the concert live this evening, if you can't make it; the way to experience performers like Van Ronk and Harris, though, is in person.

Maybe the performer's voice changed, or the anticipated style of music wasn't found. These are the chances to be taken when buying record sight unheard. When I buy a record at the spur of the moment, 1 consider two things: the musicians and the cuts. If the artist has a decent reputation (in my mind), and the tunes ring a bell. I'll grab the LP. Over the last few years it has turned out to be a great system. One thing I've learned is to read the liner notes of the album in question. The Charlie Parker Records label offers an impotant warning to all prospective consumers; "With an album such as this, there have to be reservations; recorded on a home recorder, the sound has to be something less than high fidelity." Thanks to the price, $1.99, and Lester Young, I threw away my reservations. There is no such clause on this Miles Davis/Tadd Dameron recording. The album was taped almost thirty years (May 1949) at the Paris International Festival on (for all I know) a home recorder. If someone could take away the music it would sound an amplified bowl of Rice Krispies, in simulated stereo. Don't get me wrong, the mlisic is great. At the time of the festival jazz was at a stylistic transition. Miles Davis and Tadd Dameron were both enormous influences on the structure of the "new" jazz, bebop. Dameron was one of the first arrangers to make use of bop. During the late forties he was composing and arranging tunes for Billy Eckstine, Dizzy Gillespie and Coleman Hawkins, to name a few. Miles was experimenting with a nine piece ensemble (a project which became commercially successful some ten years later), and jamming with the likes of Charlie Parker, the Diz and Coleman Hawkins on 52nd street in Manhattan. Sharing the stand with Dameron and Davis was Kenny Clarke on drums, Barney Spieler; bass, and James Moody playing tenor saxophone (Moody gained fame through his flute in the sixties and seventies!. Miles displays his distinct withdrawn phraseology which influenced an infinite amount of young trumpeters. On "Wah Hoo", Davis and Moody trade leads which typify each ones musical mode: A racous, crisp tenor and the cool, quick horn with the "unorthodox" solos. Other notable cuts include "All The Things You Are" and Bird's "Ornithology". This takes place underneath a barrage of snap, crackle and props, and preriodic introductions in french. This would not be bad if the price tag weren't the usual $7.98 list. At that price you could buy four Charlie Parker Records and receive the same quality. The deciding question is: Does Miles Davis and/or Columbia mean that much to you? —Peter Gordon Joe Cocker's Greatest Hits (A&M) Rather than being cast from that all too common mold of other greatesthits packages, Joe Cocker's Greatest Hits serves more as a sampler of his seven previous albums. All the material on the album is strong and scored well. In total, the songs comprise an album which traces the different periods and moods of Cocker's career honestly and comprehensively. Cocker has always been a vulnerable figure consistently putting an unimaginable amount of passion and guts into a song, leaving us with an imprint which (amazingly) not only redefines the song, but gives us an embarrasingly intimate insight into the man. Only Janis Joplin has been able to reveal as much about one's self through other people's (pop) songs, A natural dichotomy exists in his career which seperates his first four albums from the latter three. The first four albums contain the material when Cocker was at his height, both in the recording studio and on stage. I remember his appearance in Woodstock in which he performed "With a Little Help From My Friends" and "The Letter". Cocker was amazingly strong and moving. Perhaps the admittedly affected flailing of arms made the performance too tense and tedious to watch, but the voice behind that contortioning body was real. During this period Cocker was backed by two of the best backup bands ever, Mad Dogs and Englishmen and The Grease Band, A list of notable musicians from these bands would be too long to include. Most influential were Leon Russell and Chris Stainton who wrote and co-wrote many of Cocker's songs. This would include "Delta Lady", "High Time We Went", and 'Woman To Woman", (which are on this album). 'With A Little Help From My Friends", "Black Eyed Blues", "Cry Me A fliver", "Darling Be Home Soon", "Feeling Alright", and 'The Letter" are the other songs from Cocker's early period which are included on this album. After continued success, Cocker went through a non productive period which was marked by his seclusion and rumors of personal problems. He re-emerged in 1974 with "I Can Stand A Little Rain". Here, Cocker's vocals are a little less powerful but reveal the honesty and humility of a seasoned and matured man. The songs from this era which include "You Are So Beautiful", "The Jealous Kind", and "I Think It's Gone To Rain Today", are musically and lyrically more reflective and less reckless than the torchier songs of his past. Cocker occasionally tours but unfortunately his performances are often ruined by his compulsive drinking. I would guess that his loss of popularity is directly due to his inability to promote his albums through touring. Cocker is best on vinyl where his performances are more controlled. For anyone who is unfamiliar with Cocker, this album represents an excellent review of his career. —Andrew Ross — s” a zany revue (This is not the show currently at the Tralfamadore Cafe.)

We've heard it before (and much in macho-rock classics like Deep Purple's "Highway Star" and Ten Year's After's "I'm Going Home", to name just two songs that most of the album resembles. The key word for this album is "interchangable". And all the songs have the same Ted Nugent, Double Live Gonzo (Epic) Ted Nugent first surfaced in 1967 as guitarist for the Amboy Dukes, whose "Journey to the Center of the Mind" single was as fine a garage tune as. any of the pychedelia so prevalent in those tortured years. Their other big hit, "Baby Please Don't Go" (down to New Orleans I love you so ...), featured a solo by Ted that's a note-for-note rip of a Hendrix's 'Third Stone From the Sun" testimony to his originality. Ted plays it again 11 years later on his new album, but now wisely omits the quote. Not much else has changed about his playing though •; "There’s no question you got me honey," he shouts midway through the album. "You got me where you want me I say you got me in a goddamn strangle hold, babylll," and the band (lurches into "Stranglehold", a typical "fast" boogie number filled with all the usual lightning guitar runs and strained apocalyptic party-down feedback mayhem that has been Ted's way of making a buck for the better) ending. But what can you expect with titles like "Yank Me Crank Me", "Stormtroopin"' and "Wang Dang Sweet Poontang". Sure ain’t new wave. But no doubt there's an audience for this stuff: midwestern teens of the suburbs blowing bowls in finished basement rooms will go for it ih a big way, no doubt. It's a splendid package. No fewer than 19 color shots of Ted barechested and grimacing, Ted sweating, Ted jumping, Ted writhing. No pictures of the band. These pictures will thrill anyone who has never seen a Caucasian before. Not much to be said for the band (Cliff Davies, Derek St. Holmes and Rob Grange on 2nd guitar, bass and drums, respectively!, aJifeless, clich-ridden bunch who sound much reminiscent of Lou Reed's Rock 'n' Roll Animal minus Dick Wagner. Nor is there much for Ted's handling of the vocal chores (and chores they are). His Robert Plant-inspired sequels are no more fun than his "Are You Ready to Get Down and Party" rap. The only thing missing is a drum solo, conspicuous in its absence. In short, buy this album immediately for the highest price possible. You can't afford to be withbut it.

Moderating the discussion was Dr. Michael Farrell of the Sociology Department. Professor Carole Liaros, a well known psychic. Dr. Clarence Dye of the Division of Student Affairs, and Dr. Marvin Zimmerman of the Philosophy Department, were the three panelists. The goals of the symposium were to increase awareness of both sides of the parapsychological phenomena, and to bring students and professors together informally to leam more about each other. Carol Liaros, a professor at Rosary Hill, discussed the practical application of Extrasensory Perception (ESP). Currently working cm the project, “Blind Awareness” she helps to teach the blind to “see.” This is done by first teaching the sightless students a technique for deep relaxation which aids them to use more of their perceptive ability. Then they being to “see” photographs with the palms of their hands, and are encouraged to feel if the photograph is of a male or female. With continued practice, many of these students have been able to “see” everything in the room; “see” in the sense that they are aware of the energy fields of their surroundings. Liaros said, “The current thrust of the scientific field of Parapsychology is not so much ‘does it exist’ but ‘how do we apply it’?” She pointed to the desire among people who attend her classes to apply ESP to normal life. viable —MaMIck The Leggio brothers with their Scandinavian stove Decreasing dependence on fuel companies and their rate increases and to establish their products. “As new, it takes time begin to accept a untried product, but 90 per cent of the heat goes up the chimney, giving them 10 per cent combustion efficiency,” said Paul. “This stove gets roughly 85 per cent combustion efficiency because of its design. It can heat an entire house as well as the room in which it is burning.” He added, “It should be remembered that it can be used as often or as little as desired. The more you use it, the less your fuel bill will be When you have a fire, the heat is being rechanneled throughout the house rather than lost up the chimney.” Paul estimated that the average homeowner will generally save one-third to three-fourths of his heating bill, depending on how much he uses the stove. The initial purchase not only pays for itself in two to three years on the average, but is considered a home improvement as well, raising the value of the home.

The foreigners conflict with their neighbors mostly because of a dash in customs, cultures and living habits, but it is the’“GTslanders” who upset their neighbors the must. The reason is twofold. One is old-fashioned prejudice. The other is the fact that locals have seen their city fall from one that once easily rivalled Chicago to its present image as the great Niagaran tundra. For various reasons, they blame downstaters for this situation. To locals, their seeming disrespect for the houses they rent is a slap in the face. Neither side bothers much to try to understand the other and this is the root of almost all of the problems. “None of us can afford J- VSS% • \\.*r ■ v to get a lawn mower or a snow The G’Islanders’ blower or anything,” complained Much friction has developed one student. “How can we take from this situation, but the most care of the place the way they apparent and continuous are the want us to? it’s not like we are frictions between “the locals” and slobs or anything.” “the students.” Each of these two groups can be divided into two more groups. “The locals" consist of “the elderly” and “the familitt” while “the students” can be divided into "the GTslandcrs” and “the foreigners.” Although these definitions are very and even generalized IITE discriminatory, they describe how QFM ft Harvey ft Corky present each group tends to perceive the ; ■' 1 ; j rr™“ residents did agree on was that, as one put it, “those New York Jews started all those riots.” Sbme were more reasonable. “Who wants to raise a son to get killed in a war that’s immoral? Who wants to fight if you don’t believe in it? That’s not so hard for me to understand,” ruminated Rita Faunmeyer. She continued that the protests were peaceful at first, saying, “It was the police who used the tear gas fools!, with a neighborhood of children and old people too.” the As a further shock, those who weren’t from downstate were often foreign students, usually from India or Taiwan. The stage was set for the third major change. Those elderly residents who could afford it, sold their houses and moved to warmer dimates, nursing homes or in with their children’s families. Many others died. Many more simply stayed and often felt lonely- in their own houses. The houses that were sold were often sold to families with children or to landlords who hoped to make money renting houses to the growing number, of students seeking off-campus housing. The “student ghetto” was developing. A large proportion of these families with children were black. Mdst of the white families turned out to be Italian. As a result, a neighborhood that was once a single ethnic community had developed into the most integrated neighborhood in the dty, each group having its own particular accent. “For a while there, wheel chairs outnumbered baby buggies around here. Nowadays, the sidewalks arc full of baby buggies, bicycles, motorcycles and lord-knows-what next,” sounded off one more area resident. particularly downstate, . '• • other three.

In several weeks, he will submit a report to Ketter outlining suggested plans for the future. Bunn said that the “reasons vary” for each of the resignations that have occurred recently in the Faculty. Bunn described a also “sense of University-wide anxiety” that is affecting the Faculty. The lack of merit raises (pay increases based on research) have discouraged faculty. The lack of research funding and grant restrictions upset faculty who previously were enthused by Buffalo’s promise of rapid growth. “The split campuses,” said Bunn, “have a range of brought problems nobody could have anticipated.” Another disagreement between members of the Math faculty concerns 4 the results of the Board Regents’ of Review PHD Committee which visited the campus two years ago. Some Applied faculty believe that the Report clearly indicated that a New undergraduate requirement of source Another dissatisfaction was nullified when the Department recently decided to modify the requirements for the undergraduate mathematics Chairman major. Department “Our old said, MacGillivray was unconventional.” Now, a special section of Math 242, Differential Equations, is a program Math Topology, dropped as a requirement. An elective course on the senior level, Analysis, has been added as an undergraduate requirement. 227, Shoenfeld said. “The curriculum change is a good direction” for the Department. Another senior faculty member said that with the change, “UB has top-notch now a undergraduate program.” Although there is widespread among faculty disagreement issues, the general consensus of professors and graduate students is that the quarrel will not dramatically change the quality of undergraduate education here. graduate program The will probably be more affected, as the areas of study for doctoral candidates are influenced by professorial interests. “Some of the resignations have not seriously hurt us though,” explained Makke. “Some of the prestigious people who. quit were not good teachers.” It is unclear which faction would teach the lower level math courses, such as Calculus and Linear Algebra, if a split were to occur. Hassard suggested, “We will have to see who is left in a couple of years in order to fully realize the implications of the present dissatisfaction.” Shoenfeld observed, “Lots of people don’t talk to each other.

Let’s face it; people don’t smile much in this area whether out of habit or frozen lips from the cold. In the past the city was full of different ethnic groups but these groups all had a common ground; the Catholic religion. But students are largely non-Catholic and temporary at best from the viewpoint of their native-born neighbors. Occassionally, a bright light shines through this gloom. Belinda Luciano tells this story; “When school started back in September,, my daughter, Chrissy, met this new friend, Rachel. All she said for three whole weeks was Rachel this and Rachel that.

The question is where ample space can be found.” The biggest problem, according to the Dahlberg, concerns relocation of the Puerto Rican Studies Department into Clemens Hall “They feel that they have established an identity in their current location," he said, “and believe it's important to be situated in an urban setting. Problems may arise there. It may have been a mistake not to have forced them into Clemens in the first place” The Puerto Rican Studies Department recently proposed that it purchase the Wmspear building and that the University consider the Department's status as a non-profit organization. Several departments insist that confirmation has yet to be received from University officials concerning the shift. Interim Acting Chairman of Nursing Ruth Walsh said she has not been informed about her department's scheduled relocation into the Stockton-Kimball Tower when Phase Three of that building’s renovation is completed. “1 have heard but rumors, nothing official." she said. “However, it may be because we haven't had time to survey the situation." in the Fillmore Room - Squire Hall Tea, hot chocolate, coffee will be FREE!!

Solar heaters also work well in winter because the sun’s rays hit not only directly but also by reflecting off the snow which Buffalo so abundantly The New York Public Interest Group (NYPIRG) had a strategy session on Wednesday and lai4 but its groundwork for the upcoming $tate Legislative session. NYPIRG Director Donald Ross,Who met earlier in the day with representatives of Buffalo State College and City officials, told NYPIRG officials here of the three priority bills that could affect students. Ross outlined a bill, sponsored by NYPIRG and the Student Association of the State University (SASU) that would increase the availability of absentee baloots, a problem that NYPIRG has dealt with in the past. A second bill would attempt to force testing organizations like the Educational Testing Service (ETS) to disclose validity studies. The bill would also require that the services make the exams public after a certain period of time so that students could check the accuracy of their scores. Another provision would restrict the services from giving out students’ scores unless provides. The Leggios stressed that it is much cheaper to install a solar heater, as well as a woodburning stove, in a new house rather than refitting it into an old home. Once a solar system is installed, the number of plates can be increased, adding to its efficiency at a lower cost than if they had been instituted to begin with. The stove and solar power can be hooked up pump to to the same supplement each other entirely, erasing the need for fossil fuels. Paul stressed that solar plates can be built into the house to appear previously given permission. The third bill sponsored NYPIRG would provide for easier collection of Small Claims Court awards. Ross explained, “Currently, you can only collect if the party sued uses the legal name in which the business is incorporated. It doesn’t matter if the decision was ruled in your favor.’’ He claimed students are greatly victimized by this problem. NYP1RG is planning a statewide conference in Albany tomorrow. saving the cost of roofing materials. The Leggios would like to see the solar industry move to Buffalo, because many jobs would be created in our potentially northern profitable market. Currently many of the solar heater parts are manufactured in the north, shipped to the south where the plates are constructed, and then shipped north again to be sold. The Leggios said that Buffalo could produce solar plates very competitively without the added burden of the shipping cost. As solar power’s exposure grows, they stated, the industry could be attracted here. Solar research here? “We would also like to see some research or other type of UB participation in something which so affects clearly the community,” commented Paul. “After all, hasn’t President Ketter made a point of desiring to work with the community?” Windmills, while a fascinating concept, have not yet developed to the point where they are practical for the individual. Paul suggested that windmills energy would be a sensible President of Alternative Energy Devices, Inc., Mike Leggio laughed about an idea of his. “I would like to see a generator attached to those exercising bicycles that could produce energy. Then all the overweight people in Buffalo would have a very alluring reason to keep on pedaling to save money on their fuel bills.” Alternative Energy Devices, Inc. is located on 1 5 1 Kay Street and can be reached at 834-0152. - ST LOUIS W*' . ** choice ( D ° ol eny 25 CBS IMTMMfM.Ytour choice of any ’*• c -- CBS album "** iKiSISSSSSSd•*«**" 5rx^*ywn[,yboMo,hw ‘ j*"*££• «; ai..» • au.i.. *" d «“ «... an * □C Bu«.£9pnng,«ld. s *arf~- <*>you'*™ ' SXi his * L.

Buffalo defeated Potsdam 6-5 in overtime on Friday evening. The Bulls then recorded 7-1 and 8-1 victories over Brockport and Cortland, respectively. The three-game winning streak, the club’s longest on the season, lifted its record to 12-12 overall. In NYCHA games, the Bulls are 8-5. Coming off a disappointing 5-1 loss at Elmira on February 15, UB appeared to be somewhat sluggish during the early stages of Friday’s game with Potsdam. As a result, the Bears were able to jump out in front 3-0. Buffalo had four power play opportunities within this timespan but failed to get on the scoreboard. Then, winger Stu Campbell took a pass from center Frank Anzalone and let go a long slapshot that breezed past Potsdam goalie Jim Blaise to cut the Bears margin to two. Four minutes later, Buffalo scored on a power play as Carl Koeppel beat a screened-out Blaise and UB was down by only one. Soon after, Bear Jim O’Connell beat Bull goalie Bill Kaminska to make it a 4-2 game. Ed in overtime Bulls captain Chris Bonn poked in a short shot at 19:40 of the second period and once again, the Potsdam lead was cut to one. Goals by Campbell and Anzalone sandwiched around a goal by Potsdam’s Tom Herson resulted in regulation play being dead-locked at five goals apiece. With 1:24 gone in overtime, Buffalo’s Fid Patterson stole a clearing pass in the Potsdam zone. The junior centerman then let go a quick, low shot and the Bulls had their third overtime triumph of the season. “We thought it would be a cakewalk and had to play catch-up hockey as a result,” noted Buffalo coach Ed Wright. “We’ve never had such success in overtime before. We’re just trying to turn this into a winning season.” Buffalo continued its quest for a successful season Saturday night at Brockport shooting down the Eagles 7-1. Brockport took a 1-0 lead after the first period on a goal by Ken Levine. But then the Bulls began their charge. Rightwinger Brien Grow scored the Bulls’ first goals. Don Osborn, Ed Patterson, Bonn, Koeppel and Rich MacLean also tallied for Buffalo, two Tom Wilde assisted on three goals and Patterson on two. Hot netminder Kaminska came up with some big stops during the second period as the Golden Eagles tested him on 21 occasions. The sophomoie goaltender was especially tough halfway through the period. Brockport sent five shots on goal within two minutes and the score 2-1 Kaminska stopped them all. “I felt extremely sharp and also was a little lucky,” said Kaminska afterwards “My family was also at the game and that gave me some incentive to play better.” Buffalo came back home to the Tonawanda Sports Center on Monday to face Cortland State. The high-flying Bulls had little trouble as they slew the Red Dragrons 8-1 Buffalo took a 5-0 first period lead as they outshot their opponents 22-4, and picked up three goals in 58 seconds. Bonn, Anzalone, Grow and freshman Jim Galanti all had first period goals. Patterson finished the Bulls’ scoring with a '‘natural’’ hat-trick three consecutive goals. It was the centerman’s second hat trick of the season and he was named Athlete-of-the-Week The by - Spectrum "This is probably the most consistent three-game-stretch we’ve played all year,” stated Wright “We moved the puck very well in the first period and also got some breaks around the net.” Both the coach and his players feel that they have a shot at making the playoffs. The Fastern Collegiate Hockey Association (FCHA) playoff committee will meet this weekend to choose the eight teams that will make the playoffs from the western portion of the FCHA. Selection is based on the strength of teams played, won-lo*t record, and so fort. The Bulls end the regular season at home tomorrow. Buffalo will play Union College at the Tonawanda Sports Center, beginning at 7:30 p.m. Guard Rodney McDaniel scored on a driving layup with two minutes remaining to give the basketball Bulls their second consecutive win, defeating LeMoyne College 70-67, Wednesday in Clark Hall. Their record is now 5-17. Buffalo ran up a 1 2 point lead midway through the first period, only to relinquish it later in the game. But a late second half rally gave UB the victory. “For a while we played lousy defense and looked away from the ball,” said Buffalo captain Sam Pellom. “But we came back to win, and that’s all that counts.” Buffalo’s Larry Jones led all scorers with ten at the half and a total of twenty for the game, but was benched along with starting guard Ed Johnson in the second half. “With Jones and Johnson in foul trouble, they have a tendency to be too cautious so I had to bench both,” explained Bulls coach Leo Richardson, The Dolphins, who portrayed a patient offense, were led by their 6-4 center Jene Grey, who led all scorers with 23 points and a game high 1 2 rebounds. “Grey and the rest of the LeMoyne squad played very well,” commented Richardson. Buffalo picked up their fourth win of the year Saturday night, downing Albany. It was the Bulls’ finest offensive performance of the year and the first time in two years that they topped the 100 point mark. Pellom was high for Buffalo with 29 points and 12 rebounds, and got plenty of help from Johnson and Jones, who each had more than twenty points. The game was close throughout most of the first half, but midway through the second half, Buffalo pulled away. Richardson was pleased with most phases of the Bulls’ game. Last Wednesday, the basketball Bulls had a taste of Orange Crush, as nationally ranked Syracuse defeated UB 113-66 in Syracuse. Syracuse was simply awesome, as they ran up a 20-8 lead behind the hot shooting of Dale Shackleford and the offensive rebounding of 6-1 1 center Roosevelt Bouie, cousin of UB’s Nate Bouie. Behind the steady shooting of Pellom, Buffalo hit four consecutive buckets and trailed 24-22 with 8:51 remaining. Syracuse then ran off a string of five consecutive baskets, to take a 13 point lead at the half 43-30. Richardson was so incensed with the officiating, he was assessed a technical foul ort the way back to the locker room. “The officiating was the worst I’ve seen,” said Richardson. “It was a definite home job.” Pellom, Johnson and Jones will make their final appearance at Clark Hall tomorrow night against Catholic University at 8 p.m. Ron Baron Wrestlers capture fourth NYSC title by Suzan Rury Staff Writer Spectrum Graduate Student Association OFFICER ELECTIONS COMING UP — Positions available are: PRESIDENT V.P. - ADMINISTRATIVE AFFAIRS V.P. -EXTERNAL AFFAIRS V.P. - STUDENT AFFAIRS TREASURER Any graduate student interested in running should call the GSA office at 636-2960. The wrestling Bulls easily captured their fourth consecutive New York State Conference Championship Friday and Saturday at RIT. The UB squad placed sixth or better in every weight class, with freshman Mike Jacoutot (119), fourth nationally ranked co-captain Kirk Anderson (151), Dave Mitchell (178) all finishing first; Paul Curka second at heavyweight; and Ed Tyrrell (135), co-captain Bruce Hadsell (168), and Jeff Wheeler (191) third. Buffalo’s point total of 135.75 was twenty higher than second place St. Lawrence’s, and five points higher than their score last year. Eighteen schools entered the competition including the top ranked Division III team, Brockport State, which finished sixth at the tournament. The Bulls are now looking ahead to the Division III national championships; as many as nine squad members could qualify after tonight’s match against Binghamton (fourth in the state championships) at 8 p.m. and tomorrow’s match against Division I Clarion at 2:30 p.m. Both matches will be at Clark Hall. The rescheduled Binghamton match will provide for personal reassessment of individual abilities as the two teams go head to head. The Bulls expect to come out the victor, with the 177 pound rematch between the finalists of the State Championships being the pivotal match. The Bulls’ match against Clarion will terminate Buffalo’s season, as they make a final stab for Eastern Regional recognition. Buffalo coach Ed Michael says UB’s squad parallels Clarion’s in ability. “They (Clarion] are strong all the way through,” stated Michael, but he added that the Bulls’ strength is no longer limited to just the heavier weights. “We’re also strong all the way through,” he said. Michael says his squad epitomizes the quality of athletes that he has coached and considers the team severely underrated. Individually, the Bulls upper weights (“Death Row”) alll have established wins or draws in earlier bouts with this year’s Pennsylvania State Conference Champions, most of whom are from Division 1 schools with ranking in the Eastern League. The UB squad has met with and defeated Brockport State in a dual meet and in the State tournament. The bulls have also met and defeated Division 1 Bloomsburg and Pittsburgh, contenders for the top national twenty ranking. Buffalo is not in the Eastern League ranking nor is the team among the contenders for the overall national top twenty. The Bulls are ranked third in Division III, under Brockport and Humboldt College. The Division III National Championships are in two weeks and Michael is hoping that his squad will prove the experts wrong. “They (the squad) all have the heart and perseverance to be champions,” claimed Michael. , FViday, 24 February 1978 . The Spectrum Page twenty-one . �Basketball Royals take one lose one iust .Sparked by the outstanding play of forward-center Paula Hills and reserve guard Beth Krantz, the Basketball Royals scored an impressive 68-59 comeback win over Brockport Tuesday. Co-captain Hills pulled down 20 rebounds, picked up five steals and led all scorers with 16 points. Hills has had to carry the bulk of the rebounding load with center Janet Lilley and forward Pam Lerminiaux ineligible because of academic problems. Krantz, who at 5-1 is the shortest player on the squad, hit several key buckets on her way to a season high ten points. Her precision passing and fine free throw shooting 7 bolstered the Buffalo attack. “SMe’s got a lot of confidence and she showed it today,” noted Buffalo coach Liz Cousins. ■ The Royals fell behind 16-4 as Brockport center Nancy Chynoweth reeled of four straight baskets. But the UB defense toughened, and Chynoweth scored only three more points in the game. “We didn’t get the ball to her,” moaned Brockport coach Sandee Hill. ' Staying alive UB held the Golden Eagles scoreless for almost six minutes as they chipped aWay at the lead. The Royals ran off a 19-6 burst to take the lead briefly, but then lapsed into some sloppy play and they trailed 30-27 at the half. Brockport scored three quick buckets to open the second half but the Royals stayed close, finally tying it at 43 all on Hills’ free throw with 9:52 left. The Royals built up a five point lead but Brockport bounced back behind forward Barb Westermeir, whose layup with 3:50 remaining knotted the score at 56. UB went on top for good a few moments later, when Krantz took the ball all the way down court for a layup. Senior co-captain Regina Frazier, who’ll play her last game for UB Tuesday night, poured in five points in the closing minutes to seal the victory. The least used of the Royals, freshman Soyka Dobush, saw her first real action of the year against Brockport. Dobush looked nervous at times, particularly handling the ball, but her 5-10 frame was a welcome sight in the middle of the Buffalo defense. It was a big win for the Royals who were outmanned more than two-to-one by the Brockport squad. Buffalo had only seven players after forward Dottie Holtz was sidelined early with an ankle injury.

This concern led to the establishment of two advisory committees last year by the Vice President of Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn and the Faculty Senate. A memorandum outlining the good qf the EPP committee stated, “Change and improvement is needed in our undergraduate University program and the should move towards this improvement in undergraduate education as soon as posable.” committee which should “be appointed by joint action of the Faculty Senate, the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs* and the Vice President for Health Sciences. Students will not be left out at the study. Debate among Senate Executive Committee members led to inclusion of the students “undergraduate appointed by the Student Association” as part of the newly proposed standing committee. Hirtaay professor Norman Baker, expressing the overall desire of the Executive Committee to include students in this study of general ■ % GENERAL EDUCATION DEBATE: The Faculty Executive Committee discusses Senate recommendations to establish a continuing review of education, said, “Student is not an un-useful representation thing.” The specific charge of the General Education Committee has not been determined as of yet, but the Executive Committee endorsed the notion that it address “timetables for implementation, modification of current program, methods of interfacing new programs with existing curriculum, and the and cultural operational Major plea for construction An Open Letter To The Student Body: ' As you may have read recently, the construction situation at the Amherst Campus has taken a turn for the. .worse. I am now appealing to each and every one of you to help in our efforts to convince Albany of our desperate need to have the many essential buildings built at Amherst, makhq it functional and re-establishing the core campus we so desperately need to provide the quality education a university of this size and stature should provide. I am sure you are well aware that the student body cannot endure the hardships of a split campus indefinitely. Progress in construction must be made or our education will surely suffer. As the mechanical requirements of attending this University increase, the academic benefits will decrease. You have an opportunity now to make the difference. Despite what has recently been said about the keys to student power, the most effective demonstration of student power, and one that can not be ignored, is that of mass support and participation of the student body. Reread the front page story in The Spectrum of 2/6/78 on construction, or use the sample letters provided, add or delete information as you please, but I urge you to take a few minutes and write a letter to one of the people I have listed. Write to them and to as many legislators as you can. If it is possible, drop a copy of your letter to me in campus mail so I can have an idea of how many letters have been sent. Let’s deluge them with thousands of letters! Your efforts will help make this a University you can be proud of. Thank you for your cooperation.

Daniel S. Parker - SA elections: student response is growing The number of petitions filed for the upcoming Student Association (SA) elections has increased dramatically since February 3, according to SA President Dennis Delia. Although there was little student interest at the start of the drive, an adequate number of students have presently filed petitions. Delia said, “If things keep going the way they have it will definitely be an interesting election. There are a lot of people running for a few offices.” He added that this election will have the largest number of inexperienced students running for office of any past campaign. He added that the number of petitions filed was not hindered by SA’s location in Talbert Hall on the Amherst Campus. As a result of complaints last year by members of the Graduate Student Association (GSA), a separate election will be held for College Council positions. The positions are open to all students; however, GSA officials felt that an undue advantage was given to undergraduate students in the past by having the SA and College Council elections together. “This is a valid complaint,” said Delia. “A person running for the College Council can run on an SA ticket. This gives an unfair advantage to undergraduates who typically have a lot of motivation.” Delia felt that a different group should run the Council every year. An equal opportunity should be given to all student groups. The election will therefore be held about a month after SA elections, he said. A mandatory candidate meeting is being held today in Talbert Hall. This is the last day that petitions may be filed. �y formulas incite boy Editor’s note: This is the first ofa two-part series detailing the issues of the nation-wide Nestle boycott, . •Snrrrrum Staff peci 1 Writer Although it has received a minimum of media coverage in Western New York, a boycott of the Nestle Corporation has been in effect in the U.S. for a number of months.

I told her I was thinking of weaning my baby from the breast, to which she said that Enfamil is just like breast milk.

A decline in the birth rate and a slight upsurge in breast feeding in the West since the 60’s presented the “milk" manufacturers with a home market. diminishing Therefore, they expanded their enterprise to other parts of the globe, facilitated by rapidly changing values and cultural patterns. Leah Margulies, writing ip the November 10, 1975 issue of Christianity in Crisis, summed up this aspect of the problem; “Corporations move in quickly to Till the gap with middle-class Western patterns and values that generate demand for their Come in we’ll get you ready for Spring Break I Heading for the sunny beaches and those fun filled days ahead?

Baby formula products do not give the appearance of being innocuous there as they do in more affluent countries. On the contrary, most nutritionists agree that they have created a phenomenon tabbed by Dr. Derrick Jelliffe, former head of the Caribbean Food and Nutrition Institute, as “commerciogenic malnutrition.” The cost of powdered baby formulas is a major cause contributing to the problem, Breast feeding, of course, is free, Americans don’t think of baby formula as being terribly expensive, but it is to an impoverished Third World family. A study by the United Nations Protein Advisory Group found that feeding a six-month old infant on the proper amount of formula would cost 47 percent of the average Nigerian family’s income, and 62 percent in Pakistan. Rather than risk her entire family’s survival, the mother tends to drastically dilute the baby.’s food. A 1969 study by the National Food and Nutrition Survey of Barbados revealed that 82 percent of bottle-feeding mothers stretched a four-day supply of formula to last from five days to three weeks. Thus, the formula, believed to be a bit less nutritious than mother’s milk to begin with, provides that much less for the baby, Confusing adz Another problem is a lack of education and facilities for ?. -continued on page Ifr- 17 February 1978 mm JGPenney Boulevard Mail *V': - open 10 am til 9 pm. -V All Store* doted Sundays �Grade reports are under investigation by Harvey Shapiro Contributing Editor Some instructors still have not turned in grade reports for the Fall semester, according to Professor of Psychology Edward Hovorka, who is investigating the matter for the Faculty Senate Executive Committee. Although exact figures were not available, Hovorka estimated that grade reports for 31 classes still had not been submitted to Admissions & Records (A&R). “After a quick overview of the situation it appears that some 400-500 students are affected,” he said. Hovorka added that most of the students affected were registered in graduate school courses. “Most graduate courses are small classes with projects due. Perhaps that’s part of the problem,” he commented. The Faculty Senate investigation of the matter was spurred by a letter addressed to the Senate by John Peradatto, professor of Classics. Pergdatto said it was “outrageous” that students were not appraised of their grades, claiming faculty irresponsibility is the major problem. “In most cases it’s sheer negligence by the faculty that grades are not handed in on time,” he said. Peradatto added that an attempt to get a “minimum standard of faculty responsibility” was thwarted because the “faculty would not go along with the proposal.” Buffalo'* Chilled Waver Paint, the Amherst a flashcube A mysterious air prevading giant Chilled Water Plant: your every dayfunctional device by Bruce Jenkins Staff Writer Spectrum There it rests - a giant flashcube. Lying on a sea of snow covered, swampy land, it reflects what little sunshine might fall on Buffalo. Those hardy souls who habitually ride Blue Bird buses between Amherst and Main Street see it on a daily basis. It is called the Chilled Water Plant. Chilled water you ask? Isn’t it cold enough outside? The vast majority of Buffalo residents have no knowledge of the facility’s function, nor can they grasp its concept. A mysterious air pervades the ground. Perhaps the plant is a secret government research project, or a cooling system for a hot nuclear reactor. But the plain truth is, the chilled water plant turns out to be a routine, almost trite, functional device which cools water for the academic spine of the Amherst Campus. The cooled water is used for the purpose of air conditioning and cooling those machines at the spine that might need cooling. ‘Tis only this and nothing more.

An ad hoc committee with Vice President for Finance and Management Edward Doty as Chairman was formed last week by University President Robert Ketter to study student tuition payment practices here. The Committee will make recommendations to retain or change the current system* Presently, students here are not required to meet their tuition demands until the registration date of the following semester. Approximately 17,000 students here fulfill their tuition bills with third party payments such as the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) and the Basic Educational Opportunity Grant (BEOG). These awards often arrive from Albany many months behind schedule, certainly too late to fully pay a tuition bill by the first week of the semester. Noting this discrepancy, Doty commented, “Too many exceptions would have to be made to have a cash on the barrelhead system of payment. I don’t know how they can do it without really botching up the works.” In a recent Task Force Report on Registration, it was concluded that “student tuition payment policies, and the resulting Bursar’s Checkstop (for failure to pay on time), are an impediment to a smooth and effective registration system.” The system was criticized in independent audits done by the State. A policy of “cash on the barrelhead” was called for in the Report. Ketter stated, “While I feel that there may be certain advantages to proceeding in this direction, I also believe such a radical shift from past practices should be studied in greater detail.” their tuition Month — Correction Tuition payments may African History __ small amounts to be used as a threat. “What’s needed,” Peradatto concluded, “is some measure of faculty responsibility.” not impeached.

As of yet no recommendations have been made, although Chairman of the Faculty Senate, Jonathan Reichert, said in the February 8 edition of The Spectrum that publishing a list of delinquent professors “was a start.” However, no such list has yet beeh made public. Reichert said that the list has not been released because he was still in the process of weeding out those professors who had legitimate reasons for handing in grades late. Perdatto said he would like to see a list published as long as “there were no clerical errors on it.” Peradatto added that he doesn’t see how there is a solution. Merit money, which is given to faculty for outstanding work, exists in too In Wednesday’s edition of The Spectrum, an article about Millard Fillmore College Student Association President Judi Jones was incorrectly edited to read that Jones had been impeached.

Hovorka added that the second group of professors who were delinquent in reporting grades were those who had yet to report last semester’s grades to A&R. The Faculty Senate is trying to determine why professors are delinquent in reporting grades. “We are conducting a review of all professors who handed in late grades,” Hovorka said. “I suspect that those who handed in grades on January 11 will say they didn’t feel any need to hand in the grades because the new semester had not yet begun.

The letters also contain pledge cards asking students to join the boycott and refuse to pay the fee. “We’re not retying on people to come to us," said SASU delegate Allen Clifford. Of the 5000 letters being mailed, SASU expects to get back about 3500 cards, aald Clifford. that five Including people off-campus, SASU projects a total, of approximately 4000 people signing pledge cards. Currently, 350-400 students have signed the cards. “The success of the campaign,” said Clifford, “depends on the students. Students reactions vary from total ignorance to a reasonable amount of knowledge on the subject.” Many students confuse the Health Fee with Health Insurance. The Health Fee is a separate $8.50 per semester listed on the tuition lull as Mandatory Student Health Fee. It is unrelated to the $67.00 Health Insurance students are .... Health Fee is that they don’t know where the money is going. “I don’t mind paying $8.50,” said Neil Fleischmann, “but I think it’s fucked up that they lie to us and try to cover it up. If we are going to have to pay the $8.50 we should be told what it’s for.” Another student, Steve Dailey said, “If it’s going to Health Service, then we shouldn’t pay it, or they should tell us what it’s really going towards. I’d pay the S8.50 if it were going to Health Services.’ ATTENTION: Graduate Student Senators —— ? continues fe s what I understand it s a typical case of the University ripping off the students,” stated Brad Pallack. Scott Miller responded, “It’s another example of SUNY trustees trying to pull something over the eyes of the students. In this situation they are telling students that they’re paying a health fee while in actuality the money is not being allocated for this purpose. The only way for students to put an end to this type of action is by showing SUNY trustees that we will not stand for it any more.” Just bureaucracy “I don’t think it should be instituted, it's just bureaucracy,” said ABen Stein. “If good enough publicity is put around a good campaign could be set up.

The students should look into where the money is going.” “This money should go to furnish more doctors on the Amherst Campus at better times and more hours a day. First I’d like to find out where this money is going and who’s in charge of this $8.50 making sure it goes to good use,” said Bill Wasley. The Student Association is spending $300 to make this campaign successful. Now all they say that’s needed is student cooperation.

The absentee rate ranges from a high of 44 percent for an October 13 meeting to a low of 18 percent on December 1. But SA President Dennis Delia sees no need for alarm. 'There are enough conscientious and reliable Senators that do come to meetings that Senate business goes on. Senators who don’t come wouldn’t do anything anyway,” said Delia. SA Senator Daniel Greenstein believes that the “high rate of absenteeism is because SA meetings have become just a “mbberstamp.” Said Greenstein, “The Senate has lost its power, it doesn’t seem to do anything.” The high rate of absent Senators has also created another problem: a lack of proposals put before an SA meeting. This lack of proposals is a big problem, said acting Executive Vice President Jeff Lessoff Despite the large percentage of absent Senators, the Student Senate does have an attendance code, and “It is being enforced!” said Delia. As proof, Delia cites two Senators who have been removed this year. But Delia also admits that perhaps “self-policing” policies should be more stringent. Delia feels that a 100 percent attendance goal is an unreasonable one and says that the problem occurs everywhere from the Buffalo Common Council to the Congress of the United States. Senator Greenstein sees SA as winning the battle of absenteeism when Senators begin to feel “responsible to the Senate.” WBUF-FMS3 ft FESTIVAL ESTIVAL PRESENT ] oniryi THE SKY and HORSLIPS TOMORROW KITE! unwiii 8:30 pm SHEA'S BUFFALO THEATRE • Good Tickets Still Avoiloblo at *7.00 and *6.00 TICKETS AVAILABLE AT THE SHEA'S BUFFALO BOX OFFICE STARTING AT 1:00 FM ON SATURDAY SJL ELECTIONS n: , . * ; <• , Reminder — i' jli ALL Petitions are due at 4 pm TODAY.Feb 17th .

Sf\ Quality control agent After a student decides upon a major he must find two faculty sponsors who have an interest in the field. Working closely with the academic advisor, the student has to formulate a proposal discussing his plans and goals which is then submitted to an advisory committee functioning within DUE. Rizko referred to the committee as “a quality control agent which evaluates the academic credibility of the proposal.” He added, “Actually it corresponds to a departmental review committee. It is composed of two DUE advisors and faculty representatives from major units such as Arts and Letters, Science and Technology, Social Sciences, and Health Related Professions.” The Committee is not the final step, however. This board recommends approval of the special major to the Dean, who then approves or denies the proposed program for which the University eventually grants the degree. this large and in possession of so many resources should be given the opportunity to determine their own educations.” He sdded that the program is now very popular in universities nationwide, but this University pioneered the development and served as a model. Since the program began here, there have been 520 special majors; although, recently since the creation of an Interdisciplinary Social Sciences Program the requests have decreased. Apparently after repeated submission of certain majors, programs (Urban Studies for example) became involved and helped to structure ideas. “The Special Majors spurred a response by programs so that more guidance was offered to the students,” said Rizko, citing the Center for Media Studies which is not yet in itself degree-granting, but is very active in using special majors as a vehicle. Healths programs popular Special Major trends have changed since the inception of the program in 1968. In the 1960’s, General Studies areas such as Childhood or Urban Education were pursued. New, however. Health Professional Programs are popular. Included in this category are Physician Assistance and Family Planning Education. Rizko expressed some concern that students with undergraduate degrees in Health Professional Programs were ill-prepared for a career since they lacked professional training. “The prevalent feeling was that the University didn’t have resources to develop the standard clinical training programs,” he commented. The Special Majors Program is viewed with high regard by the people involved in it. One fourth year student with a special major in French and Journalism called it an “innovative program’’ which allows a student to pursue his interests outside of traditional academic structures. A third year journalism major described it as “a very good idea,” adding that there is no University program for his field. He stated however, “I think'that higher positions in student activities Student Association or the newspaper for example should be worth a year of school in themselves other than through arrangement made for a special major.” A senior majoring in Political Science stated, “1 was going to propose a special major in journalism, but when I asked my advisor If it was worth anything, she said *not really’.” A survey, however, taken among students who had graduated with special majors showed excellent results. According to Rizko, “It was the common response that graduate schools or employers took great interest in the student’s responsibility for establishing his own major.” He added that generally, the specific goals the students had when they proposed their special majors were achieved. Rizko noted that field work and experience for the intended major benefited the graduate, and explained that the structure of the program itself promoted this. “The special majors program is a highlight and a credit to academics,” he concluded. - — & Credentials Comm. TONIGHT • University offers a “Special Majors” in which a student with interests beyondthe normal academic confines can develop and structure for himself a major not offered in the undergraduate course of study. According to the Chairman of the Special Majors Advisory Committee, DUE advisor John Rizko, an existing major offered by the University cannot be duplicated. He said, “A student can either combine various already existing resources for his special major, or form an original program through independent studies or supervised clinical work.” Although in recent years journalism and media students have been among the most popular majors of this program, other more unique ones have been pursued. Rizko said the areas range from study in Prostoglandin Research involving independent rather than course work, to Comparative Religion, utilizing available University resources. According to Rizko generally three categories of students seek a special major: those gearing themselves for Graduate School, those with degrees from a two-year program, or those who seek a degree in a field not offered by the school. This program resources.” By a vote of the Faculty Senate, the Special Majors program began at this University on December 5, 1968.

Legislators in Albany have heard the pleas of student government leaders and have summarily shrugged them off, figuring either that the figures were unfounded or that the student leaders did not have any popular support business!) This being the situation, I would like to ask the director of University Police, Lee Griffin, the obvious question: What good is a parking permit that anyone can obtain?!! Not only does this policy seem to be a colossal waste of time, it is also downright Well, which it is? The figures demonstrating what is lacking on campus cannot be far from wrong, at worst.

After a recent series of snowy days, the University finally decided, on Wednesday, Feb. 8, to plow the parking lots surrounding Ellicott.

Senator George McGovern: Mr. Sprawl, the Amherst Campus is taking a lot of heat, uh, for being a cold, windswept place In the winter. Did you intentionally design it that way? Sprawl; Well, my feeling was this. In order to save energy, students could wear roller skates to school, tie, bedsheets to their wrists, and the winds would blow them to class. The long stretches between buildings are there for a purpose, you know. They're studentrun-ways. McGovern: But what about the complaints of rooms being freezing particularly the overhanging rooms in EUicott. Sprawl: Now you're confused. Senator. The overhanging rooms were buflt that way so that distressed students could commit suicide without disturbing occupants of the floors below them. I hadn't counted on the rooms being, so cold, but it turned out alright because anyone who is afraid of jumping can curl up in their room and quietly freeze to death. Senator Ted Kennedy: Mr. Sprawl, in view of your concern for energy, why did you put over 90 doors in the design of EUicott. That's a tremendous yearly heat loss. Sprawl: Senator Kennedy, you must look at the facts. There are over 4,000 people living in Eilicott and 90 doors. That’s about 444 people per door. The doors jfre three feet wide and seven feet high, for a total of 21 square feet of door space per door. Therefore, each person must squeeze every day through approximately 6.8 square inches of door space. Now, f think that pretty damn efficient, Senator.

Subsequent calls of protestation to University Police and Amherst Town Court as to the severity of my fine were to no avail. I was even told by an Amherst Court Clerk that I was lucky my car wasn’t towed away. Thanks! Since there was only a neglible amount of snowfall during my violation period (no plowing of lots required) and I posed no real traffic hazard, I believe that a $30 fine is excessive and for the most part unnecessary.

As an example of this, one need look no further than the parking problem on the Main Street Campus, particularly Sherman Lot.

So profitable, in fact, that very little stage space was available for new American plays. Certainly an unhappy situation for any American playwright but particularly disasterous for the up-and-coming dramatist. Tennessee Williams had quite a bit of trouble recently getting several of his new plays produced because audiences and producers seemed to be more fond of Britons Anthony and Peter Schaffer, Alan Ayckbourn, Peter Nichols and Tom Stoppard. If such a stalwart of American theater as Williams is having a hard time of it, then things are damned near impossible for the young author who has not yet had a box office hit, that golden key that makes one's theatrical future just a bit more secure. Happily, though, the new American playwright is making a comeback, because American theater is enjoying somewhat of a boom period. People are once again buying tickets to pldys, and the playwright's name, if not the writing, is the big attraction. John Guare, Lanford Wilson, Maria Irene Fornes and Willian Hauptman all survived the bleak early seventies and are presently being joined by writers like David Mamet, Albert Innaurato and Christopher Durang. Scores of new dramatists are finally receiving the support and the audiences they deserve. With people like them writing, and writing well, one would assume that awards would be handed to plays of exceptional merit. Apparently, the Pulitzer Prize Committee was so stunned by the glorious plays of the 1977 New York season that in a moment of dizziness they chose one of the most mediocre scripts of the year, Michael Cristofer's The Shadow Box. country Good morals, good taste Which is probably giving the Awards committee the benefit of the doubt. The guidelines for awards presentations set up by journalist Joseph Pulitzer in the early twentieth century are so silly that only the blandest of dramas could win. Pulitzer's rules read like something out of the Horatio Alger stories. "Annually, for the American play, performed in New York, which shall best represent the educational value and power of the stage in raising the standard of general good morals, good taste and good manners." Good god. Isn't it hard enough to decide on a "best" play without having to be restricted by one man's puritanical and patriotic whimsy? Plays like The Children's Hour and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? were passed over for awards because they struck very raw nerves of the public and the judging committee. The rules for best novel are slightly more ludicrous. Novels must "represent the whole atmosphere of American life, and the highest standard of American manners and manhood." Surprising that books like Alice Adams, Gone With The Wind and To Kill A Mockingbird won Pulitzers despite having female progaonists. In fact, it is pretty damn surprising that anything less than The Boy Scout Fieldbook has ever won a Pulitzer Prize. Thanks to the effort* of one Hungarian immigrant, the idea of awarding merit to works of art (rather than public service announcements) has gone down the tubes. Crocodile tears The Shadow Box, currently at the Studio Arena Theater, is about three terminal cancer patients at a large hospital, and how these three (a blue-collar worker from Newark, a jet set pseuo-lntellectual and a Wisconsin farmwife) and their loved ones face death. Yes, it is educational. Just as educational as an article Readers’ Digest might publish (“I Am Joe's Imminent Demise"). Yes, it is in good taste and it is rather polite. The lines are genteel in that they don't step on anyone's moral toes and they do elicit a few well-mannered chuckles during the course of the evening. But on the whole, the play is pretty light stuff. Michael Christofer is trying to break through some of America's social boundaries. "Even now," he is quoted in the program notes of The Shadow Box, "after the ethical and sexual revolution of the 60s, death may be the last thing left in the closet." Christofer handles neither sex nor death welt in this play. We never understand how anyone comes to terms with dying. Perhaps no one truly does or truly can explain how one might, but the bulk of the characters end up so well adjusted by the end of the play (with some stagey crocodile tears as their only display of angst) that The Shadow Box falls flat on its intentions. The sexual relationship between the intellectual and his male lover is so poorly portrayed by the writer that it Gerald Richards and stage family come to terms with death Neither sex nor death are handled well appears gratuitous. Perhaps they are in the play to show us that even sodomites can die and go to heaven. It is odd, however, that while the hetero couples of the play merrily peck and feel at each other, all Brian and Mark are allowed is a pale fraternal embrace. The Shadow Box is a very poorly crafted play. Christofer's only literary influence seems to have been Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross' On Death and Dying. In her brilliant book, Kubler-Ross presented an evaluation of how we Americans face mortality and suggested a re-order of our priorities. Michael Chistofer appears to have lifted a couple of case studies from the aforementioned documentary, dramatized them, and given them a clumsy push toward the stage. Characters wax poetic in their dialogue over taking each breath as if it were the last and saying "I love you" too late. Hokey philosophy is sometimes as thick as Iowa com. It seems, too, that the author did not care to write dialogue and situations where a character could realistically express his or her feelings, so he added some drawn out conversation/monologues with an unseen, mellow voiced speaker. .Who is this understanding chap that they pour their hearts out to? A doctor, a psychologist. God? Whoever he is, he is kind and good and runs the hospital with a velvet gloved iron hand. And he is totally unbelievable. The Studio Arena's production could not possibly improve on this weak script. As a matter of fact, there are times when the play is even worse for having come to Buffalo. Warren Enters' direction is often unsteady, but this is largely due to the feeble writing. Enters did well by the Studio when he directed an excellent Death Of A Salesman last season despite that play's weak points. Too bad for us all that he was not as successful this time round. Also, the juvenile actor of the production has one of tho . . most grating Buffalo accents and least interesting stage prescences to be found in any local theater. Two performances do stand out for their depth and skill. Joan Croydon and Suzanna Costallos play a mother and her eldest daughter whose relationship is based on the mutually accepted lie of a younger daughter. This daughter, in fact, died some years ago. Agnes has been making up letters from her dead sister describing a blissful life traveling through South America. In the final scene of the play, Agnes is faced with the possibility of either telling her moribund mother a dreadful truth or continuing the pretense so that a bit of happiness might exist in both their lives. Skilled actress This is the only honest moment of the play and both actresses shine here. Joan Croydon rises above the author's stereotyped view of sweet-faced old ladies with a penchant for dirty words. However, the true glory of this duo is Suzanne Costallos as Agnes, the woman who devoted her entire life to serving her bitter mother. She brings levels of characterization to the play that the playwright somehow left out. Costallos is a subtle and skilled actress. In her scene with the disembodied voice, Costallos. too timid to take control of any situation, sits on one half of a chair and folds her hands so demurely that this one instant becomes a biography of the character. Credit is deserved by Gerald Richards and Rachel Taylor for making due with two very flimsy roles. The Shadow Box, then, is a message play. Heavy handed, obvious messages ("Life is funny, yet sad. So is death. We grow in death.") and subtle, maybe unimportant, ones ("Pulitzer prizes are stupid") abound. Not a very good play, not a bad production, and some breathtaking acting by Suzanne Costallos and a few friends. - �mm ' presents:II •( ■ ■ m proudly presents pattHmithTroup 1 OREGON featuring Ralph Towner, guitarist vM' "Secrets" Sunday, April 9th Sunday, Feb. 19* 8 pm in Clark Gym • 2 Shows Tickets $3 students $5 non students 8 0 10 pm - - Ticket Available at Squire Ticket Office KATHARINE CORNELL THEATRE & Tickets on sole March 20 Duff State Ticket Office GALLERY 219 Presents— UKRANIAN ARTIST H now thru Feb. 26th — on exhibit of ANDRIJ MADAY original woodcuts Exhibit hours: Weekdoys 12 2 ond 6 8 pm Sot 5 Gallery 219 is located in Squire Hall - - Special Concert — DAVE VAN RONK WOODY HARRIS k V&L.' y Sign up by 8:00 pm Feb. 25th by calling 636-2957 or arriving early' Wed.

The Spectrum Friday, . sawKsTOSW' 1, ’■ 17 February 1978 �The Boys In Company C' Classic display by just Anti-war movie cuts Buffalo Philharmonic deep enough to draw blood by Steve Bartz Spectrum Music Writer Sidney The Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, in a concert in Clark Gym last Thursday evening, transcended poor acoustics and the athletic surroundings to bring off a dazzling performance. A full house listened and enjoyed as conductor Michael Tilson Thomas took the Philharmonic through Tschaikovsky's Overture to the Storm (Opus 76), Bartok's Suite from the Miraculous Mandarin, and Beethoven's famous Seventh Symphony. The orchestra members, dressed in dark suits and ties, contrasted the smelly rubber floor mat and the violently with their surroundings to sweaty gym, more used tip-offs than tympanis. Tschaikovsky's Overture to the Storm opened the concert with a crash of brass and percussion and went on to enthrall and entrance the audience. It was during the opening minutes of the piece that Clark Hall's poor acoustics first became apparent the softer volumes became lost in the acoustic maze, the violins took on something of a dry, raspy, held-back tone, and the brass tended to drown out the other instruments. But Thomas still managed to do Tschaikovsky justice. The orchestra, responding to his every gesture, gave the work a honeycomb structure the sweet strings hemmed in, held in place by walls of percussion. The audience watched and waited, hand to chin, for the breaking of the storm. Thomas, meanwhile, made much of the contrast of woodwinds, strings, and brasses. The work rose in pitch and intensity, ending with a crashing finale. Thomas, pleased with the effort and skill the Philharmonic devoted to the overture, accepted the audience's cheering and clapping for the members of the orchestra. — — - Bartok's background Thomas, officially the conductor and music director for the Philharmonic, turned narrator for the next work, Bela Bartok's Suite from the Miraculous Mandarin Thomas, his cowlick swaying from side to side, showed the wit and gregariousness which has made him as much of a local hero as Gil Perrault or Randi Smith as he described to the audience the background of Bartok's piece. He first asked if everyone had programs, and when the crowd yelled back "No", he took the air of an old . you all do know what we're professor on the first day of classes: playing, don't you?" Bartok's suite, as Thomas narrated, it, is about three thugs who kidnap an innocent girl and force her to cooperate with their evil plot. She is to solicit men to follow her to a hotel room where the thugs will jump the victim and take his money. The theme was considered a bit racy in Bartok's time Thomas tells us that "there were several juicy details considered a bit unsavory at the time so I'm going to tell you all about them." The work started with a musical portrait of Bartok's setting, describing vividly the evil city with active violent sounds. The girl's attempts to entice passersby on the street were superbly represented by Jim Pyna and his sensuous clarinet. And each of the victims is sketched out in music the lecherous old man, masterfully represented by a touch of percussion, the naive college student, and finally the hero of the story, who, Thomas tells us, "comes charging in with an incredibly barbaric burst of trombones, stands there all six foot eight of him with bulging muscles and eyes of fire, and says, 'Now waaaiit a minutel' . . J. Furies' latest film. The Boys In Company C, milks the now familiar anti-Vietnam War sentiments to driest of bones, but does so in such an artless manner that it is impossible to take it seriously. In fact, the only thing this clumsy affair proves is that an anti-war film can be just as vapid as a piece of Military propaganda. The film charts the course of a single platoon of Marines from its genesis in the vulgar rituals of boot camp on to its near-decimation upon a Da Nang soccerfield, of all places. In between, the viewer is subjected to a muddled series of contrived situations, unconvincing histrionics, and enough violence to make a Clint Eastwood fan nauseous. Now and then the mayhem does give way to a genuinely amusing scene, but for the most part, Furie seems content to seek refuge in the rigid formulas which are the staple of most hard-core action films. Reptilian bad guys This means, of course, that whenever any member of the cast attempts to graft some skin and bones onto the stick figure with which he has been provided in the script, he is immediately cut short by a burst of machine gun fire or an overbearing commanding officer. All of which is a real shame. A more sensitive, less exploitative director might have cut back on the mindlessness a bit in order to give us a set of living, breathing human beings with which to identify. Instead, Furie confronts us with a group of shallow, insulting types: the Street Wise Black (Stan Shaw), the libidinous Italian (Michael Lembeck), the Sugar Sweet Hippie (Craig Wasson); they're all there, along with a whole slew of absolutely reptiliam bad guys and hung-up wasps. We scarcely feel the despair and anguish of these figures as they plod wearily from one bullet-ridden ambush to the next. From beginning to end, they remain true unknown soldiers. And so, ironically enough, their brutal deaths effect us in much the same way that the 7 o'clock news coverage of the "real thing" affected us so long ago. After a while, a highly abstract, unbelievable quality creeps into the whole affair. A Marine platoon in Quan Loi, South Vietnam True Unknown soldiers This is not to say that Furie has shied away from the heart of the beast. Indeed, much of the problem with this film stems from the fact that it takes such a relentless, simplerpinded plunge into the depths of armed aggression that there is no hope o* its ever re-emerging. By the time the viewer leaves the theatre, he has been so mercilessly cudgelled by the spectre of battle that he is numb towards the very thing which the movie purports to condemn; namely, war itself. Ultimately, it seems that Furie has chosen not to interpret but rather to re-enact the crime is his subject. For, all things considered, the viewer cAnpot help but feel that the motives that went into the making of this movie were as cynical and exploitative as the motives which propelled America! into the quagmires of Southeast Asia. Furie might have been forewarned. If the result of our intervention in Vietnam was a stupid, folly-ridden atrocity, then the net effect of this movie is much the same. Now playing at die Boulevard and Thruway Cinemas. —David Goddard — — — — - Heroes and villians Bartok depicts the ensuing fight between the hero and the thugs with squeaks and scratches eminating from the violins, followed by a sort of controlled thunder. A fanfare of brass, backed by the insistent hum of the violins, added a feeling of surrealistic anxiety. Then, the music related the smash of the jaw, the roll with the punch, and led to a finale that Thomas, hair flying, hands jabbing and pulling, squeezed from the orchestra. After an intermission, Thomas returned to lead the Philharmonic through Beethoven's classic Symphony Number Seven. Thomas himself described the symphony as "expansive, filled with joy, order, and majesty and so it was. The first movement, marked poco sostenudo vivace began with a slightly slower tempo than is conventional, but the technique was effective in crysltalizing a gamut of emotions. The image conveyed by the strings and echoing woodwonds was one of a man rushing to catch up with his shadow. The Philharmonic blended and intertwined melodies into a beautiful net in the second movement; and Thomas made the silences say as much as the more flamboyant sections. The third movement, more melodic, was a masterful arrangement of the components to shed new light on the work and still stay within the bounds of the classic. Thomas, a man driven by the carousing atmosphere of the fourth movement, totally conveyed the air of the gypsy dances which Beethoven represented. After an outstanding finale, Thomas and his orchestra received two curtain calls from the appreciative audience. In the aftermath of the concert, as happy listeners filed out of Clark Hall, John Director of the Katharine Cornell Theatre, in charge of the physical setup for the evening, spoke for everyone when he said, 'The acoustics really came off better than we expected. It was a superb concert." And I left the gym, my pillow piped up, "Who says classical music is dead?!" — — Friday, 17 February 1978 The Spectrum Page nine . . �Storm spices 'Oil of Dog' with delightful blending km Machine or some 13th Floor dancing Elevator exuberance, while sitting cross-legged in his chair, volume cranked to the max in the studio.

The 100 percent humidity had placed a dense fog over the city, refracted light and chimerical visions, it is the melancholia of three a.m. The sorrowful wail of the hyena is chased by the eerily somber voice; "This is "Oil of Dog" and I'm Gary Storm." Fasten your seatbelts; this ship is ready to ascend. What would prompt someone to become a nocturnal creature four nights a week just to host a radio show? Well, it isn't the money because Storm doesn't get paid. It's plainly a love of music that fuels him. The all-night slot (three to eight a.m. on WBFO, Buffalo's public radio station) allows him the mecessary freedom to explore the various musical realms, a freedom that doesn't on prime time and exist commercial radio shows.

It is not ironic, however, that Gary delved into rock music after leaving the isolated confines of Los Alamos. He developed a voracious appetite for such 60's punk forerunners as the Music Machine Standells, 13th Floor Elevators, etc., as well as other 60's luminaries such as the Yardbirds, Si Dr Gi Combined collaborations Storm's proudest moments serve to illustrate his (diversified approach. In October of last year he was the moderator of the show, "Vinyl Raps and Talking Heads", which combined a panel discussion with the nation’s finest rock & roll critics (Dave Marsch, Lester Bangs, Robert Christgau, Altman) one Billy record against the wall motherfucker! New wave has distilled its anger from nihilism: let's have some fun in spite of the "great gray plague of universal madness." "I Hate You" by Kim Fowley, the song that Gary uses to open his show each night represents this anger. At this juncture Gary decries the majority of his peers who, in becoming fat and complacent, have surrendered their ability to be angry. Welcome to the comfortable 70's. Up A nagging craziness tugs at the evening as I learn that Gary and I were both born in Los Alamos ("Lost Almost"), New Mexico, a town like Anytown, USA except that instead of selling insurance, the bulk of the populace busied itself with "making a better bomb." Gary made his escape from this town, where a person's comings goings and were dependent on government passes, at age seventeen when he enrolled at the University of New Mexico at Albuquerque. It was here that Gary got his start in radio, doing an all-night show similar to "Oil of Dog." from the droves of music that he has cataloged in the old gray matter, not unlike' a painter selecting his colors and stroking them on the canvas as he creates a sound mosaic. It is his belief that the great circle of music is within the grasp of everyone. People are inherently smarter and able to absorb more than commercial stations would have us believe (it Yes, than why not classical too?) These unnecessary gaps between various forms of music would be eliminated with an emphasis on eclecticism a la Gary Storm. Animals, Beatles, Doors (probably his all-time favorite) and others. He can't conceal his joy when he spins "Talk Talk" by the Music company president (Clive Davis), and a performance by one of the new wave's finest groups. Talking Heads. He also did a collaboration with David Bloom on Wagner's opera, Der Ring des Niberlungen The program which stretched 30-35 hours of material over four days was termed by Gary "the best thing that I've ever done." Gary has injected into his show various features such as "Classical Music for Punks", five hour specials on the Beatles and Punk Rock, poetry readings, and a reading of the "Wizard of Oz." Various guests such as the Spotlight Kid himself, Captain Beefheart, have been known to appear on his show. Gary also features "Truly Classic Album Hour" (including such classics as the Fugs) on Tuesdays in snickering response to QFM's "Record Theater" which concentrates on the Fleetwood Frampton Gary attributes much of the ignorance concerning new wave to the media that sees fit to treat it as rock's freak bastard child, and similarly to the apathy that has narcoticized people into being lullabied by the Fleetwood Macs Framptons. the Peter and Although he insists that new wave is sneaking up, Storm's "Oil of Dog" remains the only local radio show that presents a steady supply of punk.

I speak of the intransigent maestro of the guitar, Andres Segovia, for whom the great composers of Spanish encore have written great portraits of musical lore, dancing in tribute to his crisp and deeply sensitive play. Joaquin Rodrigo, who wrote the epic Concierto de Aranjuez, in one outstanding example. He composed the lush and powerful Fantasia Para un Gentilhombre with Segovia in mind. One could speak at length about other masters who have written thus (Villa-Lobos, certainly), but we feel that Segovia can speak for himself. He and his Lady of the Lace (the guitar, in his own word, of "delicate feminine curvature") have been making their presence known in this country alone for 50 years, and the high beauty of their language weaves even finer soliloquies today.

But it is doubtful whether the director, Michael Crichton, really wanted to be smooth. All of a sudden, he injects the viewer into a nightmare. If it were not for some frightful cliches, the change would have been masterful. It is during this third part that the film's most compelling and innovative scenes take place. At one point, a scarfaced assassin in a black coat lurks in the hospital, waiting to jump Bujold. Spraying fire extinguisher fluid in his face and throwing him downstairs is not enough. The viewer witnesses a chase scene through a frigid room of cadavres heaped on students' dissecting tables. When the killer traps Bujold in the "body freezer," she escapes with a blood-curdling wail by pushing a shole row of dead people on top of the killer; only then is he effectively subdued. When she returns home to tell Douglas, all he can say is "calm down,phoney, let's go and get some dinner."

Will she be permanently anesthetized? Or will the viewer be totally inebriated by the internal organs turned inside out? Coma is a movie which, like Jaws tries to capitalize on out primal fear of hospitals, anesthesia and surgery. Crichton, a doctor himself, certainly makes no high-flying criticisms of hospital procedure the plot is too incredible anyway. What he desires, and sometimes achieves, is a guts-strewn thriller that wilt remain memorable more because of its original cinematography than its plot. Bujold demonstrates that more movies today could employ female leads, for she is quite effective in a role that would previously have been reserved for a man.

Actually the crossover has more been in the other direction, Linda Ronstadt and the Eagles being strong examples. Somewhere between these two falls Emmylou Harris. Country birth, rock by association and folk in her training have seasoned Harris well as an interpretative singer. Unfortunately, the material on Quarter Moon in a Ten Cent Town is not worthy as "Poncho and Lefty" or Boulder to Birmingham," but Harris singing is an entity to marvel at in itself. Prior to his death. Gram Parsons made Emmylou his singing partner. While Harris claims that harmony singing is not something that comes easily to her, with Parsons it was something of an unconscious effort. "Gram and I seemed to sing together. I wasn't aware that I was following him. It was always just a matter of singing together. It was always very natural." Possibly all of Harris' strongest material was influenced or written by Parsons. On this album Harris upon her close associates (Dolly Parton, Jesse Winchester, the Hot Band). The problem comes with the end of side one. After Winchester's "My Songbird," on the last band, there isn't much that's memorable; possibly Utah Phillips' "Green Rolling Hills" is the exception. Many of the songs were leftovers from the Luxery Liner sessions. Those good tracks are all mined before side two can leave the ground. 'To Daddy" is devastating, another Dolly Parton gem. "Easy From Now On," written for the album by Susanna Clark, is the best song on the record.

Who, in God’s name, gives Howard Foster the Dear The University of Buffalo is facing a crisis it may not be able to recover from. Unless the Amherst Campus construction appropriations are restored in the Supplemental Budget, the University of Buffalo will surely decline in the quality of education and student life it can offer to the student body here. The members of this University cannot endure indefinitely the intolerable hardships of attending a university with a non-functional campus. 1 urge you to investigate the severity of our problems. Once you do 1 am sure you will support U.B. and Western New York, work for the construction appropriations for Amherst and support the immediate completion of our campus now only 48 percent complete. The entire University appreciates whatever support you can give us. Thank you. Dear I have read recently that in the Capital Budget only two (2) of the many construction projects at U.B.’s Amherst Campus have had construction funds appropriated. This is a disaster to the University, and a severe blow to its ability to offer the student body a quality Long ago the state made a commitment to complete the Amherst Campus and they must fulfill that commitment. 1 am appealing to you to investigate our urgent problem and restore U.B.’s construction appropriations in the 1978-79 Supplemental Budget. education.

How do you expect a student to pursue an education at a campus that is only 40 percent complete? If we don’t get the Amherst Campus construction appropriations University Thank reckless pomposity to challange our birthright to cheat? What, after all, runs deeper in the bloodstream of Americana than the deviousness motivated by principles of upward mobility, one upmanship, and success by any means necessary. What’s the next step Howie? Barring plaigerism? Perhaps, Howie, you’ll advocate the posting of guards at all libraries and bookstores. My God! The hypocracy of condeming those of us who do nothing more than follow in the footsteps of our nation’s leaders is as vile as the threat of breakfast on campus. the reactionary Wc for two are sick and excrement that drips forth from those in high and remote positions. Howie, you ask for expulsion, is that harsh enough? Perhaps electrocution would be more appropriate. Do you want a black hood for your keppelleh while you switch on the lever of honesty? “It takes a lot to cheat, it takes training to lie.” So, in semi-conclusion, we defy you to show us one true American who hasn't copped a sly glance or taken a wee timed trip to the bathroom to read the small print on the bottom of his shoes, in that patriotic push towards Acehood.

Blatant hazard problem or the safe level provides an extremely large margin for radioactivity before it begins to have deleterious effects, which should have been noted in To the Editor.

Before any accusations are directed at anyone for his misrepresentation, I hope this matter will be conscienciously investigated and explained. In this day of increasing specialization, non-technicians are at the mercy of the explanations presented them by the technically proficient. When a radiologist tells me the situation is safe, I have to believe him. If something’s wrong we should know. But one way or the other, everyone has the right to know. Near the end of the article I read Assistant Director (of the Campus Nuclea r Reactor) Martin Haas said, “by the time theradioactive leaking material reaches the edge of the reactor it has been diluted to below the drinking water standard." Such blatant violation of a safety standard implies a health hazard. Either Mr. Haas is doing us a disservice by downplaying the seriousness of the Unwarranted nuclear • Robert Feldleir • To the Editor A response to Monday’s The Spectrum article regarding the campus nuclear facility is warranted in view of the characterization by Marvin Resnikoff of the Rachel Carson College Anyone even remotely knowledgeable with nuclear safety and specifically fuel transfer methods should know that fuel transfers are not accomplished by dropping into storage barrels. All transfers and storage of nuclear material are done in strict accordance with approved procedures. During the past year a plan was designed and analyzed for utilization of an additional fuel storage facility. These plans were reviewed and approved by Safety the Committee. campus Nuclear Furthermore, the same plans were reviewed and a separate independent analysis was performed by the Federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission. These analyses have demonstrated the soundness of our • procedures. As a condition of operating any nuclear facility under Federal license, even minor changes entail opening such a license for intervention. It is unfortunate that this opportunity for intervention and impediment has been taken advantage of by members of the Rachel Carson College. It should be noted that Marvin Reanikoff has never discussed fuel handling procedures with any of the NSTF staff. Furthermore, he has never inspected any of the equipment to be used. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff has performed an on-site inspection during the month of November as part of the license change request review. characterization of our In conclusion, procedures as, “bush league incompetence," by Marvin Resnikoff is in our opinion unwarranted and unjustified. The recent case of cheating in the Accounting Department, has provided a new cause to widen the gap between student, faculty and administration. Wishing to achieve the acclaims of the West Point Scandals, the University has chosen to take the strongest measures possible. The University exists to provide people with the opportunity to gain an education, and the chance to better themselves. While claims of a lack of supervision daring exams have been made, at the other extreme 1 have watched fellow students being shuffled around the classroom like chess pieces to prevent cheating. How can a sense of trust be established where one never existed? Perhaps it is time to look al the causes behind the problem. As a general management student I have seen my accounting friends working on individual homework problems for hours and studying through the weekends preparing for exams only to receive C’s and D’s. The student in question not only faces expulsion, but the faculty has seen fit to have his employer future withdraw their offer. A management professor of mine taught oar class that punishment fails because it leaves the in dividual no alternatives or escape. Ruining a person’s future cannot be the best alternative here. Now is the rime for students to speak up, for we are this University and without us it cannot exist. Arty Freed Humble bumble To the Editor.

Mother’s milk has been described as “the perfect food,” providing all the nutrients necessary for an infant’s growth and well-being. In comparison powdered formulas are not as complete, especially in famishing protein. What these formulas lack cannot easily be substituted in relatively poor famffies. page 2 — mothers about the benefits of breast feeding. She categorically denied that the milk of malnourished mothers is educates inadequate, citing that when the Allies liberated the German concentration camps after WWII, “the only people who were healthy were the breast-fed babies.” She added that this phenomenon is well documented. As for the length of time that breast feeding is valuable, Peryea stated that she personally knows babies in the Western New York area who thrived on breast milk exclusively for their first year, and that her organization endorses breast feeding for this length of time. Sdtfatal Alan Berg points out in his book The Nutrition Factor for most infants in low-income countries, prolonged breast feeding is vitally necessary to growth and, quite often, survival, as it represents the only easily available source of protein of good quality containing all the essential amino acids.” Although Nettle and other sources claim that the milk of malnourished women is deficient in nutritional elements, other evidence refutes this. Margo Peryea is a Buffalo mother active in La Lee he League, an international group which years or more. - //# A further point of contention is the cow’s milk base of artificial baby formulas. Great Britain has discontinued a government milk distribution program, issuing a warning that cow’s milk is not recommended for infants during their first six months. The formulas have been criticized as being overly concentrated and containing an overabundance of salts, which some British doctors believe may cause the syndrome known as “crib death.” Peryea also described a “vicious cycled induced when bottle feeding is introduced. A great majority of women can breast feed, and the more the baby nurses, the more milk that is produced. Bottle feeling interrupts lactation, cutting diwn on milk production. Also, the bottle nipple gives milk more easily than does the breast, meaning that the baby will choose the bottle. If the baby is reintroduced to breast feeding, he will tend not to suck as hard, which anil reduce the flow. Importantly bottle-feeding has not proved to be a successful method of population control. Rural populations, needing the work provided by offspring, generally have more children if others do not survive. More importantly, lactation inhibits ovulation for four to six months following childbirth. Many societies, including New Guinea and Nigeria, also have social taboos against intercourse for lactating women, for anywhere from the first few months to two ' �SPORTS UB wrestling Bulls demolish Brockport The wrestling Bulls crushed a of Brockport second-stringers 42-0 Wednesday. Brockport had been ranked number one this week by Amateur Wrestling News with Humboldt College second and UB third. Because his team had just won the SUNY Altantic Conference Tournament team title, Brockport coach Don Murray gave his regulars a day off. “My main interest is in tournaments,” Murray said. “I’m interested in giving the kids a chance to compete. Hell, my job doesn’t depend on this.” Jacoutot Sophomore Tom kicked off the rout for the Bulls, downing Ray Porteus 15-5. The Golden Eagles offered no entry at the 126 and 134 pound weight classes, so Jacoutot’s win and the two forfeits were good for a 16—0 lead. Buffalo senior Frank Massero followed with a 11—7 win aver freshman Bob Lauro, evening his personal record at collection , 2-2. After Tom Egan recorded his third win of the year for UB, Anderson Kirk co-captain ——Hear 0 Israel— For gems from the Jewish Bible Phone 875-4265 disposed of Brockport’s Gary Avdoyan 10—1. Anderson seemed to have some difficulty with the freshman, whose 'fireplug size body made him difficult to grab onto. “He didn’t attempt to beat me,” Anderson said. “He attempted to stay off his back.” Anderson’s win assured the Bulls of the victory, their sixth straight. Today, Anderson will drop down to the 150 pound weight class at the New York State Championships, as he begins his quest for All-American honors. Anderson said he will have to win both then finish in the top six in the Division I championships to win that honor. In other competition, Bruce. Hadsell recorded UB’s only pin of the match, victimizing freshman Bob Ehrenbrug at 5;59. One of the more interesting matches of the evening featured Buffalo’s Jeff Wheeler and Tony Smith of Brockport. There was lots of action in the match between the two 190 pounders, which Wheeler won 9—4. Heavyweight Paul Curka beat Mike Rosenbauer 14-4 to certify Buffalo’s third shutout of the year. UB competes in the New York State Championships today in Rochester and then hosts natonally ranked Clarion next week. The Bulls are currently 11 -3 on the year. Instead of receiving a Valentine, the women's swimming team was handed a loss by Alfred, 73-58 Tuesday night in Clark Hall. The mermaids rtow have a 3-8 record for the year. Royals coach Pam Noakes wasn’t really displeased with the loss in view of the fact that her team was swimming with only an eight-woman squad. “We did pretty well, considering,” she said. Noakes cited Eillen Wood’s first place finish in the optional diving as the most outstanding performance of the night for the Royals. Wood picked up 195.05 points in that event, her highest point total of the season. Because the squad was shorthanded, the same Royal names appear again and again in the statistics. Captain Mary Drozda took two first place finishes in the 100-yard individual medley and the 100 breast stroke (in 1:20.6). Drozda also placed second in the 200-yard individual medley with a time of 2:41.4. Sally Cloutier came in first twice, once in the 100-yard butterfly and once in the 200-yard free medley relay, with Deenie Lambie, Wood and Kathy Brown. Sally took second in the 100-free (105.6) and then 50 fly (31.6). On Friday, the swimming Royals will face Niagara at Clark Hall. Niagara is a strong school, but Noakes pointed out that Buffalo beat Fredonia last semester and Fredonia defeated Niagara last week. The bowling Royals qualified for the national semi-finals as they - finished second to their long-time nemesis, Erie Community College (ECC) in the Association of College Union International (ACU1) Tourney in Binghamton Saturday. ECC set a record with 8237 pins. Buffalo bowled 7939, while third place Fredonia ran up a 7648 pin total. “We faced most of the 17 schools in the tournament before, so no one was new to us,” said coach Jane Poland. Buffalo has faced ECC five season and come away with three wins and two losses. times this important contests thus far this year the Collegiate Invitational - Tournament and the ACUI Tournaments and they will meet again at the national semi-finals. ECC’s Sandy Tice qualified for the national individual championship in Miami and Buffalo’s Sue Fulton earned an alternate position. According to Poland, there’s a fair chance that Fulton will represent UB in the individual national — championships. From now until March 31, the Royals will be preparing for the semi-finals, which will take place in either Pittsburgh or Troy, New York. “In our final three matches before the semi-finals. 111 be shaking up the linup,” explained Poland about training her strategy. “I’ve decided to use some new people, so they can gain valuable tournament experience.” - Saturday SPYRO GYRA & Sunday from Rochester - EXISTING REALITY Coming soon March 9, 10, 11 GERRY NIEWOQD opportunity to draw upon design only Dfuis can offe will lx?

Buffalo captain Patti Schaefer is very confident that UB will finish on top in the semifinals. “If we work hard enough, we’ll have a strong chance to move on the finals,” said Schafer. If the Royals earn the right to compete in the nationals, they’ll travel to Milwaukee in late April to*Vace the best in the nation. “We will prepare for the nationals by taking a one week vacation, followed by three weeks of concentrated practice,” stated Poland.

These machines are comprised of pumps and compressors, which contain liquid freon. Water is passed through the compressor’s pipes and is subsequently cooled from about 50-54 degrees to 40-42 degrees farenheit. Operating on a closed system, this water is constantly recycled with minimal loss. The water used for this process comes from the tap. When piped onto the campus, the water is separated and pumped through entirely different channels, so that the portable water supply will be unaffected. After cooling, the water is then pumped to all buildings on Amherst except for EUicott and Governors Residence Halls, litis is achieved by a simple maze of underground pipes. During the long winter season, the air conditioning unit is not in operation, for obvious reasons. Thus, the water need not enter the coils of the air conditioning apparatus. Once the water has reached its destination, what ™ function does it serve? Simply, it is used to cool certain machines such as computers. These fussy computers must be kept at constant temperature, for they produce so much heat white activated that they must be cooled off. Since the bulk of the operation functions during warm weather, the maintenance and repair work is attended to in the winter months. lire plant is staffed by thirteen men who operate the facility on a twenty-four hour basis. The plant even cools its own circulating air to cool its machinery. In addition to the main building, there are two large concrete cylinders outside the plant. These cylinders also cool water by blowing air through it. This semi-chilled water is used to cool the freon in the compressors so that it won’t evaporate from liquid to gas. If construction is ever resumed on the Amherst Campus, the system is equipped with many outlets for future facilities. But until that day arises, the plant will continue servicing the academic spine. In essence, the Chilled Water Plant is Idee a giant refrigerator. It isn’t controversial, nor is it spellbinding. It proceeds about its business in a quiet unobtrusive way, and will never blow up.

Magicians Dave DeJac and Abe Steier create their own stories that give the illusions meaning. In one illusion, DeJac brings a fantasy that he has created to life. He. seduces her by hypnotism, leaving her suspended in mid-air. He then breaks the trance, only to encase her in a wooden barrel into which he plunges a dozen or more spears. “Abatar,” a character created and portrayed by Steier is the somber mime artist who makes cards reappear after they are thrown away. Steier’s facial expressions are serious, and he can become annoyed when “Mischief,” Leslie Yudelson, pulls pranks on him. Every so often he flashes a smile to assure her he has overcome his anger. Yudelson does a dance solo in the middle of the,performance. Tyler Wymer, a senior ahere has modifiedYhe Cornell Theatre to give the audience a more intimate atmosphere, and is in control of lights and music. DeJac had planned to do his “Cremation” but cannot because fire is not permitted in the theatre. Talent tops Both Steier and DeJac have performed in well known places. Steier and Yudelson have performed in Florida with “Crack the Sky,” a popular rock group from Syracuse, and at the Concord, a Catskills resort. VALUES"? "NKr*- ‘Illusionary Visions* at Cornell Theater DeJac has done shows at Kleinhans and Shea’s Buffalo. A resident of Kenmore, he started practicing magic when he was nine years old. DeJac plans future shows at Crystal Beach, a large amusement park in Canada, this summer. Similar to “Illusionary Visions,” the shows will incorporate choreography and costume as well as additional illusions. Steier studied under Jeff McBrad, a man whom he consideres one of the best magicians in the U.S. Originating from Monticello, he has been appearing with Yudelson ever since he saw her in a dance rehearsal last year. Yudelson from Rochester, has been studying various kinds of dance for six years. “Ballet is important when it comes to mime and dance,” she said. “Through ballet, one learns body control.” Yudelson and Steier have future plans at the “Odyssey” nightclub in Tonawanda. With DeJac, they recently appeared in “Six Characters,” a play which ran for an extra week at Harriman* Library due to popular demand. DeJac’s equipment was designed and constructed by one of his assistants, Doug Caskey, and Jumself Other players are Lynn Larson and Wayne Thomson. “Hlusionarv Visions” will be �CLASSIFIED WADE If we UH Mn.

A cobweb-ridden ladder leads to the second level. In the middle —continued on paga Procedure to stop cheating: expulsion This memorandum was sent to the Undergraduate students from School of Management Associate Dean Howard Foster on February 7 regarding alleged cheating practices. It has come to my attention from a variety of sources that cheating in the School’s undergraduate program, and especially in the Registered Accounting Program, has become both systematic and extensive. Such dishonesty by anyone is offensive enough, but when practiced by students who will eventually enter a profession in which there is a public trust, it becomes doubly repugnant. For those few of you who may already be smirking at such an old-fashioned sentiment, I advise you to read on. For those many of you who are not only innocent of this behavior, but also as outraged by it as I am, please do not take this note as a general indictment of undergraduates at the School. The faculty in general, and the accounting faculty in particular, will shortly be formulating procedures to forestall cheating on exams. These steps will be aimed at both discouraging cheating (or at least making it more difficult) and at identifying cheaters. If a student is caught cheating, 1 intend personally to seek to have him or her expelled. Not warned, not failed, not put on probation, but expelled. It will not matter if it is a first offense (or first time caught), or if the student is four credits away from a degree, or whatever. Please be forewarned. Honesty is not only the best policy; it is the safest. 6— �V, I GLS vs. Ketter continues FRIENDS OF €AC PRESENT Lippes further argued that the Administration is inconsistent in its interpretation of the fee guidelines.

Lippes temporary injunction in its suit against University maintained however, that the sponsor of the President Robert Ketter concerning the right to “student services” passage, former Student represent students in court through the use of Association (SA) President Frank Jackalone, had programs such as GLS in mind when he composed it. mandatory student activity fees.

Curtin issued the denial on the basis by Scott Letter Spectrum Staff Writer Board (UUAB) movies, the Craft Center, and Community Action Corps (CAC), aje also allowed student funding through mandatory fees. Lippes is troubled because he feels the Craft Center is used by a very small percentage of University students and that a large portion of the benefits of CAC programs are enjoyed by non-student community members. “The GLS program would be a service provided to all and only students of this University,” Lippes claimed. Assistant to the President Ronald Stein, supported the Administration’s views explaining that “because the authority of the State is used to force the payment of student mandatory fees, students semester. cannot harbor full control over the use of such money.” Stein Said that if fees were paid on a Dispute over guidelines voluntary basis, the Administration would have no The source of the dispute is the SUNY-wide Hy in the matter. guidelines for the use of mandatory student fees.

Director of GLS David Brownstein, as well as GLS attorney Richard lippes, exhibited a positive attitude toward the case and both expect to win. “I don’t think that the injunction being denied,” said Brownstein, “is any indication of when the case is going.” He is irked, however, by the fact that the decision on the case may be detailed for many months as it continues to get strangled in the judicial system. lippes admitted that it is hifbly unlikely that a decision will be reached before the end of this We’ll Be Watching For You SdTussmeistcr’s Ski aub WINTER FESTIVAL at UNCLE SAM’S Thursday, February 16 7 ' g *. Group Legal Services (GLS) has filed suit against the New York State Higher Education Services Corporation (NYSHESC) to ease the new strict rules governing Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) awards for students with independent status. Under the new standards, in order for a student to quality as a financially independent, he must be 22 years of age or older or both parents must either be deceased or disabled (incapable of providing income even for themselves), explained Director of GLS David Brownstein. In the past, all a student had to do to receive a TAP award was prove he was self >.«upporting. NYSCHESC, which controls the granting of TAP awards, convened with other financial aid policy-making bodies last year and decided to change the requirements necessary for collecting funds from TAP, said Brownstein. Other ways “They’ve alienated all the independents who are college age,” said Brownstein. “When these -ncially independent individuals arc able to for TAP awards, it is usually too late.

The court believed that these students could find other ways of aiding themselves through school, explained Brownstein. “I don’t think they took into account the anxiety that comes with trying to obtain these funds midway in your college career,” said Brownstein, “especially after students expected them. Any harm to students’ grades as a result of the stress is irreparable in my opinion.” Attorney Richard Lippes, who is handling the case, explained that GLS is attempting to end the disparate treatment of students under and over 22 years of age.

Lippes disagreed with the change, saying, “It is improper for the State to mandate these kinds of requirements. NYSCHESC deals on a case by case basis for those students under 22, and should do the same for those over 22.” Considering the possibility of students receiving aid through fraudulent means, Lippes said, “We don’t feel anyone should be able to commit fraud, Fraud really, isn’t an issue in the case we’re speaking of where independency exists, but really requirements are less stringent for those over 22.

Jones is not a currently registered MFC student, as required by the Association’s constitution. The fact that Jones was not enrolled was researched and confirmed two weeks ago by members of the Executive Committee who became concerned with her lack of involvement in the activities .planned by the other committee members. Jones had not shown up at the last four scheduled committee meetings. Angie Janetakos, elected Vice President, and now President of the Association by the removal, said, 'These committee meetings are very important as they are the key planning and business sessions of the association due to the very nature of the organization. All the members of the committee have responsibilities of full time jobs and/or families to attend to as well as trying to maintain classwork and their positions on the committee. The meetings are a must.” Asked for resignation In a letter sent to Jones, over two weeks prior to Saturday’s meeting, the executive committee requested her resignation. As of the meeting none of the committee members had received a response either verbally or in writing. The MFCSA Constitution states that every officer of the executive committee must be a currently registered MFC student and that any executive committee member not meeting the requirements set forth in the constitution can be removed from office by majority vote of the executive committee. The constitution also reads that in the event that the Presidency becomes vacant, the Vice President (Janetakos) will overtake the duties of President. Following the motion to remove Jones from her office. Secretary of the Student Association Carol Block motioned for a vote of confidence from all other members of the executive committee in the assumption of the Presidency by Janetakos. That motion was seconded by Director of Student' Affairs Kay Stiffler, and approved by all members with an abstain ance by Janetakos. Jones was elected to the Presidency last April in the regular election held every Spring. Her most controversial act as President was the withdrawal of the Association from the activities 6f Sub-Board I Inc., the Student Corporation funded by the various student governments.

Agencies and their representatives on the committee include Buffalo Fire Commissioner Fred Langdon, Buffalo Police Commissioner John Senior Ambulance Meyers, Dispatcher Agnes Veasly, Sharon Everett from the Medical Emergency Radio System, Dave Krieman, an official from the New York State Department of Health, Erie County Emergency Health Services representative Roger Fenlon, BASB Chairman Louis Billitier, an as yet unnamed Health. Education and Welfare official, Donal Department Ambram, a concerned citizen, and Professor Thomas. The Department was asked to conduct the study one year ago. funds However, were not allocated until this year’s city budget was passed. When asked why the city sought the services of the Industrial Engineering Department in this matter, Thomas replied, “The reason they’re going with us and not an outside controlling group is because we intend to continue our involvement and cooperation. We're not just going to leave a report and walk away .” According to BASB Chairman Billitier, “The University is the whole facet of the project. They are doing a complete study with their personnel. Our staff is giving data and working with them.” Ultimately, recommendations based on the results of the research will be made to the Steering Committee, whereupon some sound decisions can be made. The aim is increased expediency and efficiency for ambulance operations.

Also solicited will be information from fire, police and medical agencies as to how they receive their emergency calls. Again, the department’s efforts will be supplemented by those of a Steering Committee involving, among others, the CETA Agency, the Erie 'County Health Department, Central Police Services, the Fire Commissioner’s Office, and the Buffalo Ambulance Service Board. The survey should be in full swing by next Monday, with results coming as soon as six months from now. Plans for the results aim at distribution to the people who would make use of it. Chairman Drury states, “I don’t want to do just plain research; we’ve done that before.” Graduate Assistant Diane Musselman, serving as technical assistant for the project, agrees. “The result will be fairly publicized; the information will come to the attention of those who are responsible for changing the system and improving upon it.” r.

Lee, reversed the physical slide of the city of New Haven, Connecticut and one-time transformed the decaying urban center into a prototype modern metropolis. While watching Lee’s uplifting of New Haven, residents were unaware that their mayor was the extensive overseer of an wire-tapping network within the The sweeping list of defendants include another former mayor, three police chiefs, sixteen former and present policemen, four FBI agents, and two employees of the Southern New England Telephone Company (SNETCO). One of the defendants is James Ahern, who Lee the in lodged was Administration as Police Chief in the late 1960’s. city. turns out, had New Lee, it Haven bugged. The dynamic career of one of America’s budding political heroes was tainted one year ago when the New Haven Journal-Courier, in a series of articles, reported that Richard Lee’s Mayor administration was responsible for tapping an extensive wire operation network throughout the city. Five months later, Lee and others in his administration were potential a by rocked multi-million dollar class-action what the suit for engaging plaintiffs’ attorney, John R. Williams, calls “one of the broadest and most pervasive illegal ever surveillance programs discovered in the United States.” The multi-faceted damage suit was filed by fifty-two plaintiffs, ranging from Yale professors, doctors and journalists to former members of the Black Panther Party. In addition to illegal wiretap surveillance, the suit charges the defendants with harassment, “infiltration, vandalism and terrorism” over at least a seven-year period. ‘Police in Trouble’ Ahern, who gained national reputation as an example of the new generation of enlightened police officers, ironically called for, in his book Police in Trouble more restrained police behavior, greater respect for Constitutional and better rights, training qualified recruits, and criticized the FBI’s surveillance overkill operations. It seems that Ahern, along with his brother Stephen, former chief inspector of the city’s police department, political masterminded the wiretapping operation. The surveillance operation began in 1964 as part of a police investigation of gambling and When activities. bookmaking Ahern became police chief in 1968, the operation intensified and turned toward anti war and black militants. Community group members who were active during the 1960’s suggested that their Lee’s to opposition which redevelopment program displaced hundreds of families black while destroying neighborhoods may well have made them targets. “Leee wouldn’t have cared anti-war much about our position,” said plaintiff David Dickson, a former activist. “But I - - Pub Review Board determines activities review committee to upcoming entertainment programs that will be held in the Wilkeson Pub will be organized in the near future, according to Director of Food Service Don Hosie. To be named the Wilkeson Pub Program Review Board, it will exist as a subcommittee to the Alcohol Review Board. Although this Committee will not make the final decision concerning what entertainment will appear in the Pub, it will play a major role in reviewing all proposals of programs. Hosie suggested that the Committee be composed of g member of Student Affairs, a member of and various Food Service representatives from the two colleges which reside in the Wilkeson Quad. “My main concern in establishing this committee is so we do not lose our license,” he said. Hosie said negative feedback caused by the proposed Wet T-Shirt Contest, which was cancelled, prompted the need for a review committee. According to Hosie, the Pub could have lost its license if someone had actually disrobed. Don Miller, a bartender at the Pub, denied that the would have caused contest A “There r would have been enough of the employees of the Pub at the contest to control the rowdiness which may have arisen,” he said. “Also it would have been a program which packed in the crowds. No one was forcing anyone to participate or to watch it and it all would have been a lot of fun.” problems. project Illegal surveillance At the operation’s peak, four wiretaps were reportedly going around the clock. The FBI supplied part of the equipment and had routine access to the city’s wiretap room, according to police sources. Lee, who took a great interest in police department matters during his tenure, was familiar with the entire wiretapping setup from its inception and visited the wiretapping room on at least one occasion. Lee had such a firm grip on the police department that patrolmen were unable to get car assignments without first talking to the mayor. The Journal-Courier reported. Wiretapping was not the extent of the operation. Police sources have admitted to slashing targets’ tires, placing threatening phone calls and accosting individuals under surveillance. When the wiretapping story broke last year in the Journal Courier, Frank McManus, chief of police from 1955 to 1968, told the newspaper that wiretaps began as long ago as 1943 and continued off and on 1950’s. But throughout the McManus has subsequently denied these statements. A former Yale Richard student, engineering Sulman, admitted that he helped Stephen Ahern operate a wiretap machine out of Ahern’s apartment - Joseph Einhorn, who ran against Lee in 1965, claims that the mayor bugged both his home campaign headquarters. and “There was no doubt in our minds that Lee had too much advance knowledge of even our most detailed plans not to have a tap on us,” said Einhorn. “This practice of tapping was no secret. A common joke at the time was that Lee was tapping his subordinates at City Hall. It was one of the necessary evils you had to tolerate if you worked there.” So far, no Einhorn’s evidence supports claims, but there is plenty of speculation. matters, To complicate attorney John Williams R. reported to The New York Times that there is evidence that James Ahern had a tap on the phone of himself. Several Mayor Lee observers of the New Haven Police Department have suggested that Stephen Ahem may have used wiretaps to blackmail businessmen or higher-ups in the upper echelons of organized crime. No evidence has turned up to support thir alle The Ah( Policing themselves The Justice Department and the State’s Attorney General’s office have refused to intervene, declining to open investigations of FBI and state police involvement. As for the phone company, the Federal SNETCO, Communications Commission (FCC) and the Connecticut Public Control Utility Authority (CPUCA) believe it can police itself. SNETCO agrees. It has investigated itself and concluded that there was no wrongdoing. The New Haven Board of Police Commissioners, the only an agency conducting investigation, has heard testimony from police that hundreds of private conversations were taped during this period. But, according the directors of the to Connecticut Civil Liberties, the Police Board inquiry “is virtually predestined to result in less than full exposure” or appropriate disciplinary action. Thus far, none of the officers who have confessed to their involvement in the wiretapping operation have received so much in 1958, Tapping no secret community Haven New activists during the 1960’s were not shocked to learn that their conversations had been recorded.

Currently registered students may have their ID cards validated starting on February 27th in Hayes B. Students should bring their ID card and Schedule Card with them according to the following schedule: effects of Mirex February 27 February 28 March 1 March 2 March 3 by Laura Orzano Staff Writer Spectrum Research at this University has uncovered brain damage in baby mice whose mothers were fed the pesticide mirex during pregnancy. The study was conducted by graduate student Thomas Holevinski, under the supervision of Edward J. Massaro, professor of Biochemistry. Mirex is a poison that was found in contaminated fish from Lake Ontario, six species of which were banned in September 1977. In the beginning phases of the research, low levels of the substance were fed to mice in late stages of pregnancy. Because the Tetus is vulnerable to toxic compounds, the effects of the Mirex were manifested to a great degree in the offspring. A revolving rod was used to test behavioral effects. Abnormal effects would occur if the cerebellum, the brain area which controls motor developments and coordination, was damaged. The male mice displayed more of a lack of coordination, the females were almost normal. In earlier phases of the research, some of the mice were killed, and their brain tissues examined to assess the damage. Dieter's danger It is hard to say whether or not the chemical could have relevant effects on human beings, Holevinski said. Mirex, however, could be potentially dangerous to dieters who eat Lake Ontario fish. “The problem with Mirex is that it stays with you. It makes DDT look like something that just washes out,” explained Holevinski. Mirex collects in fat tissues, which are used up when reducing. The Mirex that was stored can thus enter the bloodstream very easily. Research on the half-life of Mirex in the food chain is needed to predict how long humans may be in danger of it. Even though effects on humans are undetermined, Holevinski said that after seeing several mice die from Mirex, he would not eat any fish that had been contaminated with the substance. Death to fire-ants Holevinski has had some problems tracing Mirex in the mouse tissue. Although his conclusions are valid, he said that the slides used for arriving at them were not clear. He will use radioactive material to trace the Mirex. Mirex is still a problem. The ban prohibiting possession of the six species of contaminated fish has not yet been lifted, nor does it seem it will be in the near future. Fish contaminated with toxic substances over .1 parts per million are not safe for consumption. The fish contaminated with Mirex are in that category. Mirex was initially produced to kill fire-ants in the South. It can also be used as a flame retardant, yet many have said that its implied dangers no longer justify its production. Mirex became a topic of interest in 1974. After the chemical was found in Lake Ontario fish, sediment samples were inspected. These samples come from the Mouth of the Niagara River where Hooker Chemical and Plastics Corporation of Niagara Falls was depositing Mirex. The chemical was also found in a river by Oswego, which also flows into Lake Ontario.

Whitehead on abortion by Susan Grey Spectrum “Sex games,” is said Staff Writer for fun and K.D. Whitehead, not author of Respectable Killing a book against abortion. Whitehead is Executive Vice President of Catholics United for the Inc. (CUF), Faith, an international group of Catholic laity organized to support, defend and advance the truths of the Catholic Church. In an interview Friday, Whitehead spoke for himself as well as the Catholic - abortion, regarding contraception and sex. “There is no question that life Church It is fact in dispute by any of the scientific community. Both pro and anti-abortion scientists agfee that a new human life begins at the moment of fertilization, a female egg and a male sperm united,” he said. Those who interpret the data differently are lying, pro-abortionists “fuzzing up the facts,” he continued. The exact nature of the data was not described. begins at conception. - not Two forms of abortion are recognized by the Catholic indirect and direct. Church Indirect abortion is the “carrying out of a medical procedure intended to cure or heal an abnormality in the human body, incidentally causing an unborn baby’s death.” The remov il of a pregnant woman’s cancerous uterus was cited as an example. This type of abortion is not a sin. However all forms of direct abortion are, stated Whitehead. He termed direct abortion an intentional assault on an unborn human being, “a highly immoral matter and a grave sin.” - Rape smokescreen In the case of rape, this type of abortion is still not permissible — according to Whitehead, “statistical evidence of pregnancy resulting from rape is low, almost non-existent.” In addition, he said, “The old proverb two wrongs don’t make a right, applies. The first wrong is to rape; the second to kill a child.” Incest is considered in the same category with low incidence and as a double sin. No mention of statistical sources was made. Abortion to save a woman's life is. another false excuse, he further stated. The argument is a “smokescreen used to get people to accept' abortion, just as rape and incest are,” he said. “We all die eventually,” Whitehead remarked, his apparent overpopulation. solution for “Actually, we are having a population decline,” he stated. “We, the United States and most of the world, are facing an underpopulation problem. There will not be enough children in the future to support the old people and keep the economy going.” The population of Asia and Africa - a home away from home WHERE THE WELL EDUCATED DRINKERS MEET.

The advances of modem medicine to eliminate disease, especially in the area of infant mortality, have created a longer life expectancy. “We cannot project trends,” he commented. “They level off with death.” Sex no fun The position of the Catholic Church on contraception and abortion is intertwined with its views on sex. Sex before or outside of marriage is a sin, according to Whitehead. “The nature of the act implies responsibility. Sex is not for fun and games,” he said. The purpose of sex is seen as procreation, the carrying on of the race, and as an expression of unity between husband and wife. “Contraception sin,” is a Whitehead said, speaking for the Church. “The natural method of birth rhythm (the control method] is as effective or more effective than artificial contraception.” Whitehead termed “a contraception mutilation of the marital act” and “chemical warfare against women.” Statistics reporting the inaccuracy and ineffectiveness of the rhythm method are “bad a bill of good propoganda against women who are affected, harmed, disgraced, and shamed by artifical contraception. “It is in the interests of the people who want to sell pills,” he said. Whitehead specifically attacked morality of abortion is clearly defined by Church doctrine. “Any person who performs, undergoes, or materially assists in the performance of an abortion is immediately excommunicated from the Catholic Church,” Whitehead said. This involves being cut off from the Sacraments and alienated from the church community. Abortion is a mortal sin, and like any other sin, can be repented and forgiven, he However, absolution from a priest is not sufficient reinstatement in the Church can only be decided by a Bishop, on a case by case basis. Whitehead stressed the “compassionate view” of the regarding Church, Catholic abortion as a “gigantic tragedy.” He cited the Catholic charities, orphanages, hospitals and homes for unwed mothers as examples of - the Church’s humanity. The Catholic Church has often been accused of trying to legislate morality imposing one particular religious and moral viewpoint on an entire nation. Whitehead commented, “All laws legislate morality it’s just a question of whose.” The law should protect rights, he said. “We — - seek to protect unborn.” Whitehead’s — the Planned Parenthood in organization for its role imparting birth control information and contraceptives, especially to teenagers. He stated, “Planned Parenthood advocates pregnancy and promotes abortion. They suggest that sex is for fun." Whitehead recommended that Planned Parenthood change its name to ‘‘Planned Unparenthood.” The answer to teenage pregnancy, according to Whitehead, is the word “no.” “It is better for young girls to ask their boyfriends for respect,” he said. Sex education was also condemned by Whitehead and the CUF Sex Education programs in schools “teach kids about contraceptives and that’s about all,” he remarked. His solution would involve teaching the basic biology of sex, the difference between males and females, a process which he estimates would take one hour. The rest should be left to the family, he said. Mortal sin The role of women in the not represent those of the organization does a majority in the Catholic Church. Catholics For A Free Choice is a group of laity concerned with opposing efforts to deny the right of abortion through constitutional amendment and/or federal or state legislation. They believe it is an individual woman’s right to make decisions regarding abortion and contraception in accordance with her own conscience without fear of criminal prosecution. “Contrary to popular belief, the Church’s position on abortion is a moral and traditional one and has never been an official encyclical nor an official Church doctrine or dogma,” they say. Catholics For A Free Choice lobbies within the Church itself as well as in government circles. The issue of abortion never be resolved with may any certainy. Moral viewpoints will continue to clash and scientific “facts” will continue to be interpreted in the light of many biases. The legality has been the Supreme Court decided ruling in 1973 made abortion a private matter between a woman and her physician. Subsequent Medicaid related decisions have altered that position however, stirring up new controversies and persistent moral debate.

The friend is leaving this University no less disillusioned than when he arrived some four and a half years ago. He knows that what he did here will lead him nowhere and that what he could have done here would not have made a difference. The direction of his life is shaped by endless possibilities and few probabilities and fewer realities, for he is in suspension. Out of school and into the real world. But doesn't it seem that all the folks in the real world have a purpose and a direction and that their smiling faces were always smiling and that the ones who don't know where they are going are called losers? An increasing number of students leave this school not knowing why they came here or how they are getting out, but thinking that they will become happy with what they are doing once they become successful at it: This friend will be happy in becoming successful at it, but he won't know what it is for a long time. Until he does, may he wander from .Florida to Arizona to San Francisco to Katmandu with the grace of good will and a full stomach and a wide open blown out mind that has survived the frivolities of decadent University life and knows that in spite of it all, his self will persist.

Chismo Porter smells To the Editor As residents of Porter Quad we are angered by Director of Custodial Services Buch's comment (in the Feb, 1 issue of The Spectrum) that we are being selfish for not wanting the garbage cans in the hall. This past weekend the garbage can overflowed with garbage. The stench produced was unbearable. We are paying to live in a dorm, therefore we expect normal living conditions. We doubt that normal living conditions include garbage-laden floors. We can understand that having garbage in the storage rooms can be a fire hazard, but it is just as hazardous to have it in the hall. Depending on the position of the can it could prove to be more dangerous than having it in the garbage room. The can in our hall is behind a fire door and not near a smoke detector. The position that maintenance originally put the can was even worse It was placed at least 40 feet from a heat detector. We know for a fact that our storage room (3rd floor Porter) has a heat detector in it and therefore we can’t understand why we can’t have the garbage the storage room. Also, our floor doesn’t have a lounge and we must use the hall as a lounge. Having the garbage in the hall doesn’t make being in the hall very enjoyable, even just to walk through. This is just another example of the lack of logic and planning of UB and their impersonal attitude towards students. can in Sharon Humel Paul Arena David A.

These cans are eyesores, and, furthermore, the pungent odors emanating from these cans are, quite frankly, nauseating. Further, I refute the claim by Director of Custodial Services Bush that the removal of garbage at 9:45 a m. eliminates the problem. These cans fill up very quickly, and by evening they are overflowing again, just as annoying as ever. Also, I don’t believe that we are being selfish by requesting that the cans be placed into the storage rooms again, as Mr. Bush claims. Is it so selfish to desire to live in a clean, healthy environment? I think not. Robert Karp Brett Kline - - I Editor severe blow.

Denise Stumpo Cindy Hamburger -.... . � 15 February 1978 I am writing in.response to the article in the Wednesday, Feb. 1 edition of The Spectrum regarding garbage in Porter. The problem of having the garbage cans in the hallway is especially acute on my floor (3rd floor, Building 3) where there arc no lounges. The garbage can was left in a corner where students congregate. Whether or not a Board of Health restriction or building code says anything about this, it is a health hazard to have garbage in an area where people gather, it is even worse to have this when a flu epidemic is already-spreading through the dorms. Although I don’t know about the other storage rooms on different floors, there is a smoke detector in the storage room on my floor, as opposed to Mr Bush’s assertion that there is none. I feel it is in no way selfish to ask thalt garbage be kept out of the hallway if at all possible. This issue should not be Mown out of proportion. Nobody in Porter is “irate.” We are only concerned that our health and safety are at stake in an already unhealthy situation. Phil Rainer Porter .?25 �Buffalo energy crisis FEEDBACK energy, much of which was just wasted away because the University is an inefficient energy user. The Amherst Campus pays a price for the convenience of electric power, Niagara Mohawk’s electricity has an efficiency of one third. You put three btu’s of fuel in and get one out. The rest goes up the stack or is lost in transmission. By the way, they’re burning coal and petroleum, thus polluting the air. If you ask me, the air is polluted enough To the Editor. Well, it finally happened. After years of half promises and who knows what the State of New York finally broke down and told us the truth. The Campus construction will remain Amherst functionally stagnant for the next five years. Are you really surprised? I’m not. Why should they continue building the Amherst Campus? Please don’t start yelling about split campuses and lousy gym facilities. This is my third year here so I know what it’s like rolling on Blue Bird buses and shooting hoops in a punctured bubble. It’s a pain in the ass. But we’ve hacked it up already. The designers of the Amherst Campus seemed to have planned for the future. By making the campus all electric, they paved the way for the use of new technoligies, presently being developed. Wind power and total energy systems may prove to work well here. Using these would greatly improve the efficiency of energy used on campus. (Remember we’re now talking about the efficiency of the electricity itself. Wind energy is free energy Sure it costs to put up a windmill, but there are no fuel bills. A total energy system on the other hand involves generation of electricity on campus combined with efficient use of the heat left from the generation Power companies dump this heat into the rivers or the atmosphere.) Next how the campus consumes energy must be considered. Why produce energy efficiently which will then be used inefficiently. The buildings on the Amherst Campus are some of the most inefficient around. They have large areas of steel single pane glass windows, crazy angles and exposed floors In many of the, buildings there are inefficient resistance heaterslocated underneath the windows. Many of these have not been set correctly by maintenance and have spewed heal out since September. This forces residents to open their windows which carries the heat out into the breeze. Some of the buildings are already falling apart. Last but not least much of the place is air conditioned by a terminal reheat system, a symbol of energy extravagance. Anyway, we were talking about how UB fits into Buffalo’s energy problems. The State of New York is in the position of having to convince people that drastic measures must be taken to deal with the energy crisis. How can this possibly occur until it takes care of itself? Retrofitting the University will be a visible demonstration to Buffalo of intelligent energy management. Where does this leave us students? Jay Rosen says that we have no control of our destinies here at school (or at least if We do, we aren’t using it). I say that we can make a significant contribution to the solution of the energy crisis in Buffalo. And we’ll be better prepared for the future. After all, isn’t this what we’re going to school for? now and we can in the future The reason construction on the Amherst Campus needs to be halted is so the State can take all the money it planned on using to build new buildings and use it to fix up the buildings they just built (and Main Street too). What is the use of putting up more new buildings when you can't afford the bills on the old ones. In case it hasn’t dawned on you yet, the energy crisis has started Buffalo. Last week two people were found frozen to death in their apartments because National Fuel Gas turned off their gas. The fact that these people did not pay their bills is not the issue here. What matters is that NFG has the power of deciding on whether people live or die, something that the courts here don’t even have National Fuel Gas is being boycotted by the citizen’s alliance. There is a great chance that this boycott will be successful because of the fact that the city of Buffalo may hold back its bills too. So should UB (they probably won’t but who knows) This boycott is a great idea. But don’t boycott National Fuel Gas unless you are willing to invest money into fixing up your home for energy conservation on top of paying fuel bills (we don’t want to get rid -of NFG, just be treated fairly). Unless an outgrowth of the boycott is a commitment to improving the way energy is used in Buffalo, then it is a waste of time. Of course people living in apartments wouldn’t invest significant sums into energy conservation, yet they are stuck with a building’s fuel bills (a very bum rap). But wouldn’t it be fair for your rent to go up if your fuel bill goes down (especially after your landlord spent considerable money on fixing up your to apartment). Buffalo has to make important decisions about its energy future. Now. It’s time to get moving. Which brings us to the State University of New York at Buffalo. How does UB fit into Buffalo’s energy problems? First it consumes quite a bit of energy. Last year it spent over 6.5 million dollars on " Invisible invincibility To the Editor. In a feature on Transcendental Meditation in the 8 February your reporter writes, “Perhaps the most impressive T.M. claim of all is the Principle of Invincibility. If the square root of the population of the whole world would practice the T.M. the human technique, race would achieve invincibility . . . world peace and harmony, perfect health, progress in every country, and nature would issue of be balanced . . .” At first I thought that the only impressive thing about this was the use of pseudoscientific language to couch the big emotional grabber, but I’m laughing out of the other side of my mouth now. It turns out that, taking the world population at three and a half billion, the square root is just 59,161. Now, the article also states that there were over a million meditators as of 1975. That’s almost twenty times the needed number. In other words, sometime between 1961 and 1975, while you and I were leading our earthbound, anxiety-ridden lives, it happened. I am reminded of the seventeenth-century Fleet Street mystic who published a pamphlet predicting Armageddon in the Plague Year 1666. In 1667 he published another pamphlet arguing that the world had in fact ended, but that his critics had not noticed.

December Further, members of the Chine Study Third Group, World Student Association and the local U.S.—China People’s Friendship For the past two years, The Spectrum has objectively published a series of articles concerning the pros and cons of Association have published a documentary pamphlet, “On the KMT: Its Illicit Activities in Taiwan USA,” hoping that the true features of the remnant KMT of Taiwan will emerge in a more the coherent KMT* surveillance and intimidating activities in Taiwan and the United States particularly campus on college and in Chinatowns. In view _ of the inevitable actualization of normalization of relations between the U.S. and the People’s Republic of China, the KMT repressive activities have become intensified in New York In particular, since 1975. the following undisclosed organizational meeting with Hsia King-chuan, the KMT’s Consul-General in New York City, on this campus in last April, the KMT agents have to date managed to gain control of both the Chinese and Taiwanese student associations at this University. Consequently, the Buffalo League for the Defense of Taiwanese Human Rights was formally established in December, claiming that the Taiwanese present Student Association could no longer serve the interests of the overseas Chinese people from Taiwan, and further launching rightful movements against the KMT rule both at home and abroad (Newsletter of the Buffalo & before manner the concerned readers. While sharing struggles against KMT repressive activities with the Buffalo League, we do have major differences. Thus, we would like to discuss this matter futher It is erroneous to claim that the the Taiwanese people have been deprived of fundamental rights by the government of the People’s Republic of China. It is the remnant Chiang Kai-shek regime, the KMT backed by the U.S. government, imposing fate of that has dictatorship the present the past been over the Taiwanese 29 years. While consistently supporting the Taiwanese struggle for freedom people for democracy, we view the struggle inseparable from the struggle of the oppressed peoples and plundered nations of the against imperialism, world and negemonism oppression. and Meanwhile, it is a continuous struggle of the Chinese people. Since the opium war of 1 840, the have people Chinese continuously waged relentless struggle against foreign aggressors such as the U.S., Japanese, British, German and Russian imperialists internal well 'as their as opportunistic exploitative ruling class, the KMT, and have dealt each of them severe blows, in the Chinese people 1949, succeeded in driving out all the from imperialist forces the mainland and established the socialist People’s Republic of China. They thus have adopted principles of self-reliance and have taken economic initiatives in their own hands. The majority of the Chinese people, comprised of more than SO nationalities, have thus achieved liberation. On the other hand, while refusing to recognize the defeat, the U.S. government continued to support the KMT, and forcefully the occupied Chinese island province of Taiwan, thus imposing a facist rule over the Chinese for over 29 people on Taiwan Henceforth, the persistent struggle of the Taiwanese people today is a continuation of the anti-imperialist, anti-hegemony and anti-oppression struggle of the Chinese people, whose co'mmon enemy is the remnant KMT regime backed by the U.S. years. government. As a result of the repressive rule of the Manchu, Japanese imperialists and the present KMT regime, extraordinary political and socio-economic conditions have developed and existed on the island providence of Taiwan, since the founding of socialist China. Nonetheless, this difference can only contribute to a regional contradiction and the rest therefore between Taiwan of China, and is non-antagonistic in nature. Even in the mainland itself, the contradictions of this nature are common as exemplified by those existing between urban and rural areas; those between the Han and the minority nationalities; those between workers and peasants; and those party between members and non-party members, etc. However, all these constitute non-antagonistic contradictions amongst the people, and thus can be resolved by peaceful and democratic means On the contradictions contrary, the between the exploitative KMT ruling class and the majority of the Taiwanese people are antagonistic in nature, and are thus contradictions between the people and the enemy. Therefore, the struggle that has been waged by the people of Taiwan against the KMT regime is more than justified, and constitutes a serious life and death class struggle. Kthnic or regional oppression is dependent on class oppression. While opposing ethnic oppression, the determination of the Chinese people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait to liberate Taiwan is not initiated by the great-Han but merely chauvinism, constitutes the determination to eliminate the present class oppression imposed by the KMT regime backed by the US government After liberation, the people of Taiwan will become the masters of their own destiny, while adopting principles of self-reliance. After going through suitable period of transition towards socialism, and as a result of the changes in the relations of productions and the productive forces in the course of socialism, the broad masses of the working people of Taiwan will achieve their own and political socio-economic control, and only then can their basic human rights be guaranteed! To arrive at the afor ementioned conclusion, one must be scientific and objective in the analysis of the current situation. Neither subjectiveness nor one-sidedness can be helpful in tackling many current political and socio-economic conditions existing in both Taiwan and socialist mainland China. Who arc the enemies? Who are the friends? What constitutes the principal contradiction? What constitutes the subordinate contradiction? What falls under the category of the amongst contradiction people? What falls under the contradiction between the people a and the enemy? These are some of the questions that require diligent studying in order to arrive at tin correct answers. While opposing both the great-Han chauvinism and the narrow local nationalism, let us win yet a greater victory in struggling against the KMT regime! Wednesday, 15 February 1978 The Spectrum . .

The Center is also expected to undertake research projects. University the pledged Ketter that Administration will develop a full proposal for the Center’s establishment and will also seek sources of funding. This task has been delegated to Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn and Dean of The School of Management Joseph ,*V Allutto. An early draft of the proposal is expected sometime in the near future, according to Bunn. The purpose of the draft is to state clearly the goals of the Center and the means to implement them, said Bunn. " Diversity functional. Common sense tells you that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line; you want to go for speed and economy.” The bend in the Ellicott tunnel isn’t exactly easy to handle, she noted, especially with the manual steering column on her bus No. 251, a transit model. One thing that bugs Jane is c that pass the bus and then cut Ik off by moving back too quickly into the right lane. Other times, notably at Augspurger and at Frontier, automobiles wait until the oncoming bus is dangerously close before turning on to Millereport Highway. “No one wants to get ‘stuck’ behind a bus,” Jane explained, “but they make it hard to stop without putting the students on the floor.” Car drivers create hazards upon hazards when they slam on their brakes after hitting potholes, she added. This school year, Blue Bird drivers have seen their share of visibility poor and road conditions. “All the drivers get nervous when it’s bad out,” Lady Jane noted.

When making climbs it is a good idea to bring along layers and layers of wool. The average hiker’s comfort in just a light sweater and a T-shirt belies the danger in dressing lightly. When he stops, goes beyond the tree line, or exposes himself to the winds and intense cold on the summit, he will need every bit of a coat, two sweaters and a T-shirt, if not more. Hats, scarves, and mitts are also good warm necessities. The desired effect is to expose as little skin as possible on the peak although this is not as much of a concern once safely back into the treeline, or during the rest of the descent. Clothes should lend themselves easily to shedding. A sweating climber will be that much colder when he stops, unless he regulates the warmth of his body by what he wears to prevent sweating. Get those gaiters Staying dry is imperative. To this end gaiters are very helpful in keeping melting snow out of the socks and boots, and nylon shells do an excellent job of protecting from the wetness dungarees caused by continual contact with the snow. Nylon shells also enable the fun-loving individual to slide back down the mountain once he has climbed it. Footwear is important to the climber. Two pairs of socks are the minimum requirement, and if one’s boots are at all tight, the feet will never be warm. During the winter, snowmobile boots are a good bet not only for their lightness in weight but for their comfort and heat retention. Snowshoeing tends to leave the than going feet warmer “barefoot” since there is less actual contact with the jsnow. ATTENTION: fire you bored?

There is nothing like eating on top of the world! goes for And the anything climber: a steak dinner, fruit, sandwiches, candy, etc. The only reservation is that during the winter, it is best to haul up those foodstuffs which can be eaten without removing the gloves and freezing the fingers. Curve of the earth For the weekend warrior, the Adirondack Mountains offer easily accessible one-day climbs that don’t involve much work or equipment. Among these are Cascade and Porter, Giant and the Rocky Phelps, Peak, MacIntyres, Sawtooth, Dial and Nippletop, Mt. Marcy and Yard, to name a few (look on a map). A camera will be desired for any of the high peaks; they rank among the best views in the state. From Giant Mountain, for instance, the peaks of Vermont as well, as the whole northeastern portion of the state are visible, and someone climbing for the first time will be surprised to discover that he can actually see the curvature of the earth. Winter mountaineering need be done with ropes and pickaxe, it can be as simple as a hike through the woods with the right preparation. Yet its rewards are more magnificent. The peaks seem to entertain a certain grandeur is entirely which seasonal, and only the winter climber will enjoy the majesty that winter lends to the mountains. not Wednesday, 15 February 1978 The Spectrum Page eleven . . �0 brae SPORTS Basketball Bulls end one game streak; lose to Army “We didn’t play with any The Bulls played one of their enthusiasm or intensity,” said finest halves of the season in the Buffalo basketball coach Leo opening period, going up by three Richardson after his team was points midway in the half.

But that’s as close as UB got, as Winton, Matt Brown and Klenny Brundidge began to score frequently to build a 17 point lead. Turnovers later plagued the Bulls and they were down by 21 at the buzzer. The win was Army’s fourteenth; the Cadets also have seven defeats and a slight chance for the ECAC playoffs. Buffalo was handed its 15th defeat compared to three wins. Tonight the Bulls travel to Syracuse’s Manley Field House to oppose the nationally ranked Orangemen. “This will be the last of the big time for us, and we’ll be psychologically prepared for the large crowd,” stated Johnson.

The reason for the change, according to Student Association (SA) President Dennis Delia, is that the Black Student Union (BSU), sponsors, scheduled the game on the same night as the Office of Cultural Affairs Buffalo Philharmonic performance. Both events are using the facilities of Clark Hall. BSU scheduled the Wizards game without proper written clearance according to Vice-President for Facilities and Planning JohnTelfer. SA Treasurer Neil Seiden said that BSU has received verbal clearance from Technical Assistant for Facilities and Planning Linda Webb. Webb refused to comment on the matter, but Telfer denied that verbal clearance had been given. BSU officials could not be reached for comment. Grapplers to test Brockport There will be excitement in the air tonight at Clark Hall when the wrestling Bulls take on Brockport at 7:30 p.m. The Golden Eagles, t he defending NCAA Division HI champions, were ranked number one in the nation (of Division III this week by schools) the Amateur Wrestling News, Buffalo was ranked third. The match could be a preview of the NCAA Division III championship battle, The Bulls have won five straight since losing to Syracuse, New York State’s top ranked team. Last weekend, the Bulls defeated Ashland College 34-10 and demolished the University of Cincinnati 44-0, thus raising their dual match record to 10-3. Buffalo coach Ed Michael rates tonight’s match a toss up. “It all up,” he depends on who’s commented. “It’s not the kind of match where our boys will be able to coast and win.” 19-2-1 .overall record, while teammate Paul Curka, at heavyweight is dose behind with a 16-3-0 record. Most of the heavyweights, plus a few light weights have a chance at the NCAA finals. Revenge! • Michael said that there are no key matches, but it’s certain that the light weights will have to score some points if Buffalo is going to win. The Bulls defeated the Golden Eagles last year, so Brockport will be out to even the score. Co-captain Kirk Anderson is going into the match with a • • * Buffalo dealt a loss to 11-1 Edinboro State and defeated Pittsburgh, which in turn defeated Clarion State, one of the top schools in the east. Buffalo will Saturday, face Clarion on February 25 at Clark Hall. On Friday, Buffalo will travel to the New York State Championships. Buffalo track team posts double victory indoors The UB track team burned both Houghton and Canisius Colleges at the Bubble Saturday, 68-1/3 to 37-1/3 to 28-1/3. The Bulls took first in six of thirteen events and placed in all but the high jump and the 60 yard high hurdles. The win brings their record to 2 and 1 for the indoor season. UB was strongest in the distance races. They swept the mile run with the help of smooth running Buffalo record holder John Ryerson, who was best in 4:26. Though Ryerson is not yet in peak shape he feels he can break his own record of 4:21 this season. Michael Fischer finished second in 4:32 and Tom Pitchford was third at 4:35. Fischer and Pitchford came back later in the two mile run to get first and second with times of 9:44 and 9:57 respectively. UB sprinters were not slouches either Saturday. In the 440 yard dash, Barry Calder placed second in 54.05 seconds and teammate Tim Mirando was third in 54.7. This event was run in three heats because there were fourteen entrants. Calder felt he had been hurt be being in a slower heat. “I would have worked a little harder if I had been in the faster heat,” he said. It seems probable that Calder would have won the 440 because he came back later and ran a 440 leg in the mile relay. His time of 53.3 was .4 of a second faster than the winning time in the 440 yard cash. Bukolt only missed first place by split seconds. Carle was timed at 6.57 seconds, just .04 of a second off the lead. Corcoran was third in 6.62 seconds, .09 seconds out of first, and Bukolt was fourth in 6.72, missing first by .19 seconds. The half milers ran with literally no competition in the two mile relay. This relay team looked very strong at the beginning of the season but relay team member Gene Schwall was John Centra placed second with a throw of 29’914”. In the other field events, the Bulls took third in the long jump with a 20 foot mark by Bill Reagan and Bob Schaefer leaped 37’V4” to place third in the triple jump. Canisius Gino jumper Cacciatori, area native of Buffalo, grabbed top honors in the high jump, long jump and triple jump, and he also tied for fourth in the 440 yard dash. Buffalo coach Walter Gantz was pleased with the victory which he called “up beat.” Gantz said, “We’re beating our outdoor performances of last year.” Indoor track times are usually slower than outdoor times, so when a runner’s indoor times are better than his outdoor times it is a sign of great improvement. Next Saturday the Bulk travel to the teammate Rochester Invitational tournament ■ Just missed In that mile relay, the team of Tim Bukolt, Chip Termini, Calder and Mirando won in 3:38.6. Termini ran later in the 600 yard cash where he was clocked at 1:19.4, good for a second place finish. For the 60 yard dash the Bulls’ Andy Carle, Mick Corcoran, and Nordic skiing club enjoying popularity There’s a new club in town for an old sport, ft’s the Cross Country Ski Club, and its appearance couldn’t be more timely. Cross country, or Nordic skiing, is growing at a faster pace than ever and the club has been formed to meet this demand. The purpose of the Cross Country Ski Club is to provide a means for ski enthusiasts to participate in group outings. The club is not a part of the Schussmeisters organization; it is dedicated solely to cross country skiing. It is open to all students as well as faculty members and membership is free. “It’s a great opportunity to exercise and have fun too,” said club President Gretchen Hoy. “Most trips arc to local parks so if you have skis, the only expense is for transportation.” She said plans have been made for titrips to Colden Langlaut, Sprague Brook Park, and Emery Park. Originally developed in Scandinavia, Nordic skiing has made an enormous transitionfrom a mode of Winter transportation to a modem athletic pasttime. The sport was virtually unknown in this country until Scandinavian immigrants brought this cultural phenomenon to the U.S. in the 1930’s. Its popularity remained limited to a few New England residents until the 1960’s when a Nordic skiing boom began. Today the entire aim and scope of cross country skiing has changed. A once quiet and peaceful encounter with nature has been replaced by vacationing crowds and huge ski races. Cross country skiing is an excellent way to keep physically active at that time of the year when most people sit indoors. So get off your chair,, onto your skis, and glide down to 729 Clement Hall to see Gretchen for more information about to club and how to join. Make use of Buffalo’s snow for your own recreation before it all melts away. TREASURER STATISTICS BOX Men's Basketball. Team Record at of February 13 3-16.

However, according to President of the Graduate Student (GSA) R. Nagarajan, “GSA believes it is time for action by the Administration and not time for further talks.” disagreement The primary between Bunn and GSA is over the dominant weight.” Bunn the role of students in policy suggested questions that formulation, implementations in concerning the number of student departments, and the target date votes, the number of seats allotted set by Bunn to have his guidelines to students and substantive areas concerning the students’ role put should be answered. Association into effect. Bunn also discussed related issues, such as appropriate duties and educational benefits for teaching assistants (TAs) and Won’t keep their word Nagarajan agreed with Bunn’s suggestion that the role of GAs and TAs be determined. He said that at a meeting with University President Ketter, Acting Dean of Graduate Education Charles Fogel, Vice President for Student Affairs Richard Sigglekow, and Bunn on February 7, more specifics were discussed. At that meeting, Nagarajan suggested that the review of each department, made every five years, be circulated to faculty and students. “In some departments, this is already done and the reaction has been good,” he said. “At that meeting,” Nagarajan claimed, “Ketter and Fogel agreed that |odu|te student* should be —Jenson Ronald Bunn, Vice President for Academic Affairs graduate assistants (GAs), and assurance of a minimum stipend. “I support student participation in departmental affairs where it is appropriate,” said Bunn. “Student contribution in departments is not a new idea, but it is an important one. There are some areas where students should be invited to take part, for instance, in evaluation of professors and*‘in curriculum design, but they shouldn’t have involved in implementation of reforms suggested by the review committees, but that the final word on this subject belongs to the Graduate School Executive body. I’m sure they won’t keep their word.” Nagarajan also stressed that the administrators present at the meeting should release these review reports. He said, “That would lessen the chances of the negative effects of the reports being overplayed due to the secretive manner in which the Administration treats the reports. Nagarajan pointed to the recent review of the Mathematical Sciences Department as a good example of “what can happen when an important review is not released to the entire academic -‘-contlnuad on page 4— The campus Nudear Reactor will remain shut down indefinitely 500 gallon leak per day was 227 times the safe level —Jenson Nuclear Reactor shuts down by Lori Braunstein Spectrum Staff Writer The Campus Nuclear Reactor will remain closed indefinitely until 1 3 year old radioactive fuel can be removed, according to its director Charles Thomas. The fuel currently sitting on a concrete floor of the reactor and is preventing a leaking pipe underneath the floor from being repaired. The reactor was shut down in October 1977 by the Federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) pending the pipe’s repair “The leaking material saturated the ground around the reactor and ran off into the sewer system,” said Faculty Advisor of Marvin Resnikoff. Rachd MHI Cailaga “This leak of about 500 gallons per day was 227 times what the NRC considers a safe level,” he added. In order to repair the reactor as quickly as possible a request to amend the reactor’s license and permit temporary additional fuel storage capacity was made by the Nuclear Safety Committee (NSC) of this University. Plans were developed to remove and store the radioactive fuel while repairs were being made on the leaking pipe. The NSC’s request to amend its license was published in the Federal Register. “The article from the Federal Register was sent to RCC by a friend,” said Resnikoff. “We had very little time to get together a petition for an intervening hearing,” explained Beth Phillips, organizer of University Community Concerned About Reactor (UCARE). Along with the North Buffalo Food Coop, UCARE petitioned for the intervening hearing. Both organizations objected to the specifications that provided for the removal of the radioactive materials. “Their method of dropping the radioactive material into storage barrels equalled bush league incompetence,” said Resnikoff. “That fuel has been in the reactor for 13 years and it’s hot.” The UCARE-Coop petition for an intervening hearing was sent to the NRG on December 15. On Decetnber 16 the NSC withdrew its request to amend the license. “The request was withdrawn because the petition for the hearing negated the purpose of the amendment to the license,” said Thomas. “The purpose of the amendment was to save time and have the reactor repaired within a month. The hearing process would have taken four to six months. The fuel will be removed according to the specifications of the license as it now stands, “The trade, equipped with a special cask, that will take the nuclear fuel away, has been delayed for several reasons, said Thomas. dock' strike delayed it because this special cask is used all over the world. It also must be relicensed after each use.” The reactor will remain shut down until the fuel is removed and the pipe repaired. Thomas has no idea when the truck will arrive tb pick up the V radioactive material. Thomas and Assistant Director Martin Haas contend that the withdrawn plans for removal were totally safe. They also believed that the reactor should not have been shut down. “By the time the radioactive leaking material reaches the edge of the reactor it has been diluted to below the drinking water standard,” said Haas. According to Thomas, “The NCR sent an inspector unacquainted with this facility, and the severity of the leak was a matter of interpretation.” “As a result of the reactor shutdown two classes originally scheduled for this semester had to be cancelled,” said Thomas. “Research has also been affected. The Pressure Vessel Safety Program, important to the National Energy Program, has been greatly affected.” Clinical Psych status remains jeopardized by Bnd Bermudez Campus Editor The University Administration Wednesday that the crippled Psychology Department must remain indefinitely in isolated quarters on the Ridge Lea Campus. A tentative, move to Parker Hall on the Main Street Campus, which would have eased Department’s facility the problems, has been ruled out because of a lack of funding for rennovation. The Administration and Psychology faculty now face the difficult task of rehabilitating the inadequate facilities at Ridge Lea. Coupled with the problems of the entire Psychology Department is the uncertain status of the Clinical Psychology program’s accreditation. An evaluation team decided is currently withholding its report to the American Psychology Association until' commitments have been made by the University Administration to solve the Department’s facility problems. The Clinical Psychology program here is considered one of the finest in the nation. There are no specific plans to rehabilitate Ridge Lea, according to Vice President for Academic Affairs, Ronald Bunn. He said, “We are now considering additions of space, restoration of Food service and library facilities, and the enhancement of bus service. We are trying to provide for the convenience of both the faculty and the students.” The outside evaluation team the quality examined and accessibility of library facilities, the degree of administrative The Ridge Lea Campus home of the troubled Psychology Department Facing the difficult task of rehabilitating inadequate facilities. support, and the maintenance of can’t respond to properly.” qualified faculty, according to Rehabilitation of the Ridge Professor of Psychology, Ira Lea facilities is one answer to the Cohen. “Serices at Ridge Lea,” accreditation problem. “There according to Bunn, “are presently was a miscalculation on the part being reviewed and they will have of the Administration regarding to be enhanced.

Stevens Company as they earn the crumbs the capitalists toss to them in their disparaging roles; whores of industrialism. But in the true spirit of corporate America things remain “status quo;” it’s still profit before people. J.P. Stevens, the nation’s second largest textile company, owns and operates 85 plants in the South. The corporation’s labor relations have earned an ignominious reputation as America’s “number one corporate law breaker.” Since 1965 J.P. Stevens has been declared culpable of 15 labor law violations by the National Labor Relations Board. Despite frequent convictions for labor law violations and a nation-wide boycott of its proctncts by the Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers Union (ACTWU), J.P. Stevens remains an approved supplier for the SUNY system. At SUNY Binghamton, head of the boycott, committee Robert Davis recently brought the Stevens matter before Binghamton Vice President for Finance and Management. Edward Demske. Davis was quick to point out that Binghamton recently purchased $8000 worth of J.P. Stevens’ carpeting for certain buildings. Demske said, “Since companies awarded purchasing contracts with New York State must agree with a non-discrimination clause as part of their signed contract, it would appear hat if the charges are true, J.P. Stevens is in violation of their contract.” The national boycott of J.P. Stevens was organized by the ACTWU and this past June, the Student Association of the State of New York joined the effort. Among J.P. Stevens’ products are Yves St. Laurent sheets, Fruit of the Loom hosiery and Gulistan carpets. According to Paul Minkoff, campus -coordinator for the boycott in New York State, “The campuses are very important. As the boycott continues, J.P. Stevens will try to keep sales figures up.” How? Dumping products at lower prices on the overseas market and to institutions. The labor law violations do not come cheap. Minkoff said, “J.P. Stevens will have to pay $100,000 for each violation they have been previously found guilty of and $5000 for every day it continues.” Due to the fact that J.P. Stevens packages many of its products under different brand names, it has been difficult to detect what, if anything, has been purchased at this University. Edward Doty, Vice President for Finance and Management, said, “I haven’t really given it much thought. My position is neutral. If they are breaking the law, then it should be handled in court. It seems to me to take punitive measures on my own is taking the law into my own hands and is not Roll over, Freud Sexist therapists may cause problems instead solving them. Sexism in relation to women usually implies a set of attitudes about what women should be: wives, mothers, passive supporters, heterosexual, etc. A therapist who believes that all a women’s problems stem from her not playing the passive-dependent role in marriage may ignore her real needs and feed the negative feelings about herself. Such a woman might conclude that she can be “blamed" for her emotional distress. Pitt noted that many lesbians in therapy are hurt by a counselor who did not accept lesbianism as a viable lifestyle, but as an illness to be cured. Being labeled as “sick" or deviant from the norm can only damage an already low self-image. Women seeking non-sexist therapy will find CRSW a valuable resource.

Stevens to reinstate 287 workers who were fired illegally and pay them back wages totaling over $1 million. This slap on the wrist castigation has done virtually nothing to thwart corporate injustices. Last year, J.P. Stevens recorded $1.1 billion in sales, ranking 181 in Fortune magazine’s list of top 500 corporations. Things haven’t been quite that bad for the executives. Board >. Chairman James Finley receives $91,000 annually. On the other hand, Ann Waters, a former J.P. Stevens employee, took home $6500 annually.

Tomorrow is a special day set aside for people to express their affection for lovers, friends, and families. St. Valentine’s Day didn’t exactly have a sentimental - beginning. On February 14, 269 (or 270) A.D., two Christian martyrs by the name of Valentine were beheaded. The reason for their executions isn’t clear, but it was probably for refusing to worship the Roman gods.

Little is known about either of the St. Valentine, although there are stories as to how St. Valentine’s Day became hnked with romance. According to one story, the Roman Emperor Claudius II forbade young men to marry because he thought single then made better soldiers. Against emperor’s orders, the the Valentine priest sentimental married young couples anyway. Unfortunately, the emperor was not as sentimental and Valentine lost his head as a result. Keep wolves away Some historians believe that St. Valentine’s Day became a lovers’ holiday because it’s near to Lupercalia, an ancient Roman festival on February IS which celebrated fertility. At this time, young men struck people with strips of animal hide to guard against wolves (no explanation was given as to what wolves had to do with the Romans’ fertility). Supposedly, women were more than happy to be beaten with the animal hide because they thought it made them more fertile.

That idea, added to Lupercalia, and two St. Valentines led to the designation of a St. Valentine’s Day celebration. The custom of sending verse on this day has been traced to a Frenchman named Charles, Duke of Orleans. He was captured by the English during the battle of Agincourt in I41S. On Valentine’s Day, he sent his wife a rhymed love letter from the Tower of London where he was imprisoned. In the 1700’s, a common custom was for men to draw women’s names from a jar, thus becoming “valentines.” The women’s names were then worn on the sleeve; hence came the expression “wearing his heart on his sleeve.” The men then gave their valentines gifts and paid special attention to them. make her own and took orders from stores.

People made their own valentines until the early 1800’s. In 1847, Esther Howland became one of the first to manufacture valentines in the United States. She decided to One type of valentine that was popular in the late 1800’s was a comic valentine called a “penny dreadful.’’ These sold for a penny and were of an insulting nature. If you got one of these, it meant you weren’t thought of too highly by the sender. Valentine’s Day continues to be big business for merchants. In the amount of sales, valentines are second, only to Christmas cards. Florists overwhelmingly agree that the favorite for Vakatina’s Day is red roses. “Considering how high the price is, you’d be pretty lucky to get them,” said a clerk at FTP Florists in Amherst. One dozen long-stemmed red roses go for $30. Fanny Fanner’s at Boulevard Mall reports that the majority of people wait until the last minute to buy candy for Valentine’s Day. The biggest sellers are the 1 and I Vi pound boxed chocolate hearts, according to one employee. Big spenders can opt for the five pound heart box at $35, none of which had been sold as of February 9. At the Garden of Sweets in Williamsville, the best sellers are boxed heart chocolates and the homemade chocolate heart decorated with flowers, noted a clerk. Does Valentine’s Day mean anything to students here? One female said she and her boyfriend were thinking of going out to dinner. “Valentine’s Day is an occasion to show lovers, as well as friends and family, that you love them,” she said. Another female remarked, “It’s fine if there is someone to celebrate it with. But when you’re alone I hate it.” Another said she had forgotten about V-Day but decided she would probably give her;valentine a wallet. “I’m giving him stupid things,” commented another socks, a power drill female attachement, and candy." Most of the males questioned seem to be leaving things to the last minute. One is planning on giving his girlfriend a dozen roses, but said he gives them to her even when there isn’t a special occasion. “It’s nice to surprise her when she’s not expecting anything at all.” he added. ... “ In any event.

Happy however you Joseph Sorrentino Juvenile law needs changes by Thomas Rosamilia Spectrum Staff Writer Los Angeles juvenile court judge protem Joseph Sorrentino, a former street gang brawler in Brooklyn and juvenile delinquent, spoke in the Fillmore Room of Squire Hall last Thursday night about his remarkable career and his thoughts about legal reforms in his field. In spite of his accomplishments, Sorrentino believes that he is by no means extraordinary and that many other youths presently leading self destructive lives have as much, if not more potential. “The only difference is that I had a chance,” he explained! Sorrentino outlined three major points about die juvenile justice system that require reform. He told the receptive crowd that, “juvenile law must be adjusted and modernized. The traditional moralistic view of men as being guided by free will done, and thus having to assume complete responsibility for his actions, must be modified in favor of a more humanistic view which recognizes delinquency as being caused by maladjustment and emotional disturbances.” He suggested tfaat the courts must be enabled, to deal more effectively with more serious offenses, “by cutting down or eliminating the backlog of cases involving the less serious petty offenses; the so-called status offenses such as loitering.” Finally, and "most important,” according to Sorrentino, "there must be changes in the institutions desiped to rehabilitate delinquent youth.” In order for the concept of rehabilitation to be intelligently applied, Sorrentino believes “that the large, sterile and bankrupt youth reformatories must be eliminated.” He advocated the use of smaller, homelike surroundings in which small groups of juvenile delinquents, under substitute parents, can receive the proper rehabilitative care and treatment. “Only in this way,” he claimed, “can they have any kind of a chance A high school drop bat, Sorrentino became involved in street gangs at an early *gD, was first arrested at age 14, and sent to Youth House, a detention center for delinquents in New York.

Subsequently indicted for assault, Sorrentino was sent to the Raymond Street Jail, which was then notable for its horrendous conditions. He described it as “being worae than the famed Tombs.” Dead existence After his release, “in seeking a way out of his dead end existence,” said Sorrentino, “1 joined the Marine Corps." Unable to assimilate the rigid regimentation of the Marines, he was sent to the brig repeatedly, enduring “abuse and humilatiOn.” Once, after attempting unsuccessfully to escape, he was bound and gagged and confined to a padded call. The Marines sent Sorrentino, at the time nearing a complete breakdown, to an insane asylum for treatment ind later back to the brig. Dishonorably discharged from the Marine Corps, Sorrentino found the turning point in his life was “when I returned to high school and got my diploma. Graduating in the top one percent of his class at the University of California, he moved on to Harvard Law School. To remove his dishonorable military discharge, he returned to the Marines and went through boot camp again, something Sorrentino described as “masochistic. In fact,” he said, “it was much harder for me to get back into the Marine Corps again than it was to get into Harvard Law.” Monday, 13 February 1978 The Spectrum Page three . . �Seminars in career NYPIRG schedules programs guidance offered The New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) will hold its semiannual statewide conference oh February 25 and 26 in order to compete and plan strategy, according to this by Guy Gutenstein University’s NYPIRG director, Lew Rose.

They calculate that “40 percent of all marriages for women now in their late twenties are likely to end in divorce. 38 of every 100 first marriages, plus 13 re-divorces among the 19 of these 38 divorcees who are likely to Staff Writer The happy, live-in, unwed couples featured in national news magazines and daytime soap operas are not media myths. According to the U.S. Population Reference Bureau (PRB), the 1970’s are indeed “seeing trends that portend marked changes in the traditional American way of family life.” Paul C. Click and Arthur J. Norton, authors of a PRB bulletin, Marrying, Divorcing, and Living Together in the U.S. Today, are leading authorities on this country’s family-related statistics. They suggest that “persisting high divorce rates and falling marriage rates are clues that the U.S. may be losing its reputation as the most marrying of industrialized nations.” However, the authors say the increase in divorce and in living together without being married are, to a large extent, consequences of the relaxation of social pressures against these actions. PRB’s Current Population Survey, conducted monthly among a national representative sample of 47,000 households, provided the information leading to Click and Norton’s conclusions. re-marry.” Library moving schedule ; Director of University Libraries Saktidas Roy has recently confirmed, after consulting with the Summer Session Office, Academic Affairs, Facilities Planning, Vice President Albert Sumit’s office and the Mayflower Moving Company, an up-to-date list of the moves of the Undergraduate and Science and Engineering Libraries to the Amherst Campus. The latest schedule for all 1978 library moves are as follows: Poetry Collection; April 17-21 (The collection will be closed April 10 thru May 1) Central Technical Services: May 8-12 (Closed during this - Strange bedfellows According to the study, propects for marriage and re-marriage have been dimmed by shrinking job opportunities, the recession, and the women’s movement. “More permissive behavior means greater choice in lifestyles and more flexibility in the development of individual potential,” the report said. Moreover, the delay in first marriage, downturn in re-marriage, and increased experimentation with pre-marital sex may develop more stability for marriages that do take place. Adults of the same sex living together make up over three percent of the country’s approximately 32 million unmarried persons aged 25 and over. Men with a bachelors degree or graduate training are most likely to marry and least likely to divorce, the report noted. By contrast, women aged 35 54 who have gone on to graduate school are “below average” in marital stability, “but improving.” There is a large population of college-age couples living together at this University. Most feel their experience is rewarding. One couple living together for a year found that their adjustment to each other was a fairly easy one. “It took a little getting used to,” they agreed, “but the way things are now, we don’t think they’ll change. We’re planning to get married.” Both felt that living together before marriage is very important; “You become aware of what happens in a day-to-day relationship,” they said. — Re-divorced The March, 1977 surveyed 957,000 adults maintained homes “which they shared at the time with an unrelated adult of the opposite sex. Together these accounted for nearly two million persons,” Click and Norton reported. “About 606,000 of these unmarried couples were men with an unrelated woman living in, and the other, perhaps surprisingly were 351,000 women with an unrelated man living in,” as compared to a 19 percent increase from 1960 to 1970. This study shows an 83 percent increase since 1970. The report maintains that in 1960, most couples were “older women with a young man as a tenant,” whereas today, the majority are “young men sharing living quarters with a young woman.” However, these 957,000 couples make up only two percent of country’s the current 48 million “couple-households.” The study predicts that by 1987, this country will not come close to having 12 percent of its couples living together informally, as is the case in Sweden. Since the baby boom of the ’50’s, divorce has risen steadily; since 1972, rates of first marriage and re-marriage have taken a nose dive, observed Click and Norton. The U.S. divorce rate in 1977 was far above that of any other country. Click and Norton On the other hand, some couples object to living would rather wait until they together, saying, they get married. Associate Director of University Counseling Service, Beatrice Roth, said, “A lot of students have concerns about relating to people they are close with in a living-together situation. There is much more willingness to try out a relationship before making a commitment,” she noted. “There is also much more awareness today of what goes into a relationship.” The typical American family of the future may vary from that of the past. But as Click and Norton conclude, “Some two of every three marriages are expected to last until 'death do they part.’ Marriage . is in no danger of extinction.” LENT SPECIAL period) Library; May 21 thru June 11 (Closed during this Undergraduate Library; June 16-19 (Closed during this Lockwood period) — period) Hall Library: June 20 (The library will be permanently :losed at the end of the spring semester) Art Library; June 26-27 (Closed during this period) Science and Engineering Library: August 26-31 (Closed during this period) - - — Task forces voice opposition of quotas Young Americans for Freedom (YAF), the nation’s largest conservative youth group, has announced the formation of a Task Force on Affirmative Action. The Task Force, composed of YAF members from Massachusetts, California, Ohio, Texas, Pennsylvania, New York, and Washington, D.C. will produce a study considering the whole question of affirmative action and reflecting YAF’s opposition to quotas and other forms of special privileges. Members of the Task Force will hold hearings, make speeches, write articles, and otherwise explore the issue of affirmative action before issuing a report. YAF has been actively involved in the affirmative action issue for some time. Last year, the youth organization filed an Amicus curiae brief with the Supreme Court supporting Allan Bakke. Bakke, a white engineer, claimed that he was rejected by the University of California at Davis Medical School on the basis of his race. The University defended its special-admissions program but did not deny that Bakke would have been admitted had all applicants been required to compete equally. YAF’s brief, written by Marco De Funis, who filed the first “reverse discrimination” case in 1970, said that special preferences for one race in public school admissions violate the 14th Amendment guarantee of equal protection. YAF members believe that they represent most young people on this issue. They cite a Gallup Poll showing that 83 percent of Americans under 30 reject preferential treatment for women and minorities, while only 11 percent support it. This spring, YAF members will sponsor debates and seminars at many campuses on the issue of affirmative action. They plan to distribute hundreds of thousands of pieces of literature opposing “reverse discrimination.” Some legal action in addition to the Bakke case is contemplated and YAF will also support proposed legislation which would outlaw preferential treatment in government hiring and education. YAF has 55,000 members in some 500 chapters in all 50 states. YAF members work for individual liberty, a free-market economy, and a strong national defense. The organization, headquartered in Sterling, Virginia, just outside Washington, D.C., has 75 members of Congress on its National Advisory Board.

Schussmeister’s Ski Club has severely limited the number of early buses on Friday nights. This has caused major inconveniences to many members. Even if you get up early and get to the office just as it opens, you will probably still not get a reservation for an early bus. You had better count on getting up very early in the morning to beat the crowds. This will probably lead to people camping out in front of the door to get reservations. A Black Market may even be organized. Many Club members, including myself, have come to depend on the early bus to get in a decent night of skiing. With this new policy, many will have to drive, or suffer with a half-night of skiing. To the Editor: I write in support of Mark Sarlitto’s very important letter (The Spectrum, 8 Feb.) on the need for General Education at U.B. Because of the need for highly trained specialists in our society and- an unfavorable attitude towards required courses, American college education has become narrow in scope and dangerously shallow in its effect upon the r minds of students. I believe that this is especially true of U.B. with its extremely minimal distribution requirement. The majority of students, whether they mnjor in the social sciences, the humanities, professional studies, or the sciences, choose to take very few courses that encourage original and interpretative thought. This is due to a general ignorance of the positive qualities of these courses and, more familiarly, to a desire to take “easy” courses with minimal content. The courses that I believe are neglected and much needed are not only English, History, Classics, and the like but also Sociology, Psychology, Communication, Biology, and Engineering. I believe that it is Essential that a person be able to develop a viewpoint of his (or her) place in history and today’s world and be able to express his beliefs both orally and in writing. The right of free speech and, more basically, the ritfit of an individual to determine his own beliefs are devalued if a person is ignorant of the range of human beliefs and is unable to express any belief. A basic program of General Education involving perhaps 24 to 32 credit hours of courses in English and Communication, History, Social and Behaviorial Science, and General Science would enable a student to develop a basic knowledge of human experiences (past) and affaire (present) and the ability to express himself. The student, the university, and our society would all benefit greatly. m To the Editor. someone someone It is our curiosity to find out what reactions may exist to some of our fleetings thoughts and people. emotions concerning the ever-growing dissatisfaction with “where we are.” It seems to us that you, as well as ourselves, are contributing to the so-called “social depression;” we are socially depressed.

Watching someone open your present is a common example, but more intruiging is the simple process of teaching. There is something internally delightful successfully about communicating skills or knowledge to another human being. The teacher-student relationship fa, in its essence, mutually rewarding exchange. Anyone who has let go of a bicycle and smiled as a little brother peddling furiously down the sidewalk for the first time without falling .. will agree. A shared triumph is always more glorious. Which is why so many people dedicate their lives to teaching. Along with nursing, social work, counseling and other variously altruistic professions, the rewards of teaching fill the human heart, though they do not often do the same for the wallet. The on/i women men and encountered a ong the path a.to an Education are usually propelled by this inner satisfaction. Chances are that your favorite high school teacher recalls you'as a favorite pupil, unless of course you secretly lusted after him or her and never breathed a word of it. But, in any event, the mentors worth remembering play these thrfee roles with equal brilliance: Scholars, with a firm command of the subject; Couriers, with the ability to carry that message to the world; and Artists, with in internal love for their work. We arrive at a University, unfinished portraits of our thirteen years spent in various Artists’ studios,, and quivering with the thought of the new challenge of higher education the chance to interact with others of our intellectual level, to immerse ourselves in our chosen field, to make the sweeping turn from student to scholar. As freshmen we literally chime with our crystalline hopes spilling from newly purchased notebooks and denim over-alls. Expectations are high, and when the Professor walks in to our first lecture, we frantically scribble down everything he utters and make sure we address him reverently as “Doctor.” From then on, life as a college student is a slow shattering of illusions. Thinking back, have you any dreams you’d like to sell? - The upcoming referendum on arming the university police will provide students with an opportunity to express their opposition to the introduction of guns op campus. The university is a place for study, research, and the free interchange of ideas among equals in an atmosphere free of the threat of violence. No amount of pontificating by the pro-gun theorists of the university police can hide the fact that hand-guns have no other purpose than violence. The arming of security represents a needless disturbance of the peace and freedom of campus life. We urge all members of the university community to step forward and voice their objections to the use of arms at U.B. We call upon all undergraduates to combat the odious spread of weapons, onto campus by participating in our campaign against an armed police.

When we signed up for Ski Club, we were promised early buses, not limited early buses The reasons for this limiting are shabby at best. I suggest that the Ski Club live up to its promises, at least for the remainder of the season. If they want to change the rules, change them next year, rather than breaching our present contract. Schussmeister’s Ski Club has been, up to this point, a very good deal. It has provided adequate skiing opportunities to students who would otherwise only dream of the slopes. I think that Ski Club has gone too far, and that they had better change this police before they seriously damage their good reputation. - ***** Professors are, quite simply, not here to teach. Although there are exceptions, most profs to not consider themselves teachers, they do not particularly enjoy teaching, they have no formal training other than pretending to teach in their roles as professors. The world of higher education demands that they be skilled scholars, and nothing else. Professors, for all of their academic lives, have been not budding teachers, but students.

In exchange for being given the atmosphere in which to achieve these goals, the Professor is asked to, among other things, handle a few courses.

He will not be granted tenure commonly known as academic nirvana because three hundred undergraduates walk around telling their friends howjmuch they enjoyed his course This does not mean that concerned, talented teachers cannot be found at this University there are a few. But the system heri works overtime against it. For any professor, it makes sense to pour all efforts into publishing and research. Excellence in the classroom just goes unrewarded. It is almost suicidal to concentrate on teaching. Furthermore, Professors, having been reared on fhe pursuit of knowledge, are not interested in devoting their lives to dispensing the same. Very few of them revel in the experience of communicating knowledge, they lack an artist’s appreciation for the teacher-student relationship. In this respecf they differ radically from the mentors of our- past. While Mrs. MacIntyre, back in the fourth grade, wanted you to go away wiser. Professor Parker would just like you to go away. ■ Many Profs own a genuine contempt for students whom they consider lazy, undedicated and nuisances. Not an entirely inaccurate image.

RCC has splnsored Food Day for the past three years, and this year it plans to balance the concentration activities and workshops at both campuses. The concept of Food Day originated on April 17, 1975 in and Washington, D.C. was coordinated by the non-profit Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI). In the past, groups wishing to sponsor Food Day could contact CSPI and obtain lists of films, lecturers, and guidelines to promote the activity. This year, CSPI is not behind the nationwide observance because there are enough people donating their time and energy, according coordinator of Food Day at this University, Reid Kelner. The reason for a Food Day as opposed to a Food “Semester” said Kelner, is that “with a higher activities, of concentration to lectures, teach-ins and workshops, the impact will be stronger arid become people may more cognizant of the situation.” There are two main themes that the Food Day activities are centered around. World hunger issues, including starvation and the “green revolution” are one topic of discussion. Nutritional problems, which stem from the availability of non-nutritional food such as “junk” food are the other major area of concern. The “green revolution” is the technological answer to the food shortage, said Kelner. The massive use of chemical pesticides, fertilizers and huge tractors and other farm equipment is characteristic of the way greater food output per acre can be achieved. Nevertheless, energy constraints make this solution questionable. One of the more popular Food Day activities been the in recent years has vegetarian dinner catered by Food Service. This meal is carefully planned by a committee to ensure the proper protein balance without using meat. Workshops, ranging in attendance from five to 50 people, are offered throughout the week and conducted interested by community members with a skill, professors special with special interests, food cooperative members and students. Activities include bread-baking, yogurt making, bean sprouting and tofu cooking. the greatest impact on elementary and secondary teachers. Teachers are the direct consumers of teacher education and are closest to the students. It is entirely appropriate that the practicing teachers make up a full majority of the board,” Robisch said. NYEA, Robisch noted, would also insist that the function of a professional board be made clear from the outset. The board is unfortunately already being referred to as a “professional practices board,” instead of a professional standards board and Robisch contended, “there is more at stake here than winning a semantical argument.” would support NYEA a professional “standards” board, he said. “Practices are those events that take place in the classroom or other learning environments. There are under the prerogative of local school boards and. in a more specific sense, the classroom practitioner. Any statewide board affecting these areas would be beyond the intended scope of the board,” he noted. Instead, the board should establish standards for professional preparation, entering the profession, maintaining license, continuing professional growth and determining good moral character, Robisch assessed. “Making sure the board dealt only with standards would go a long way in allaying the fears of such groups as- the State School Boards Association, which seem to fear a plan which ultimately is aimed only at improving teach standards,” and preparation Do you get upset with doctors, hospitals, and other health services in the area? Do you feel that you have certain basic rights as a patient that are infringed upon when you are least able to Speak & . ' up for them? A group of students, working through the New York Public Interest Research Group, Inc. (NYPIRG), is striving to inform their fellow students, as well as others in the community, about patients >' ' rights. The Patients’ Rights Project was begun last year by a group of concerned students and area health workers who recognized the need for better delivery of health care services, both on campus and in the community. They learned that they had rights as patients, and that those rights have been upheld by the American Hospital Association (A H.A.) in their patients’ bill of rights. Armed with this knowledge, the group developed a slide show presentation and discussion format to inform people of their rights. Working through the YWCA, community centers, university health classes, and community health clinics, they spread this information and acted as advocates for those in particular need of support. The project work is being continued this semester, under the auspices of NYPIRG. Present plans according to project coordinator Allison Miller, include “expanding and revising our slide show, condensing the Buffalo Patients’ Rights pamphlet into a short fact sheet for wide distribution, and reaching out into the community with our information.” The goal, Allison claims, is to “expand our contacts through the use of these presentations to an increasing number of high school and university students, health clinics, and community centers with information on patients’ rights.” The project is presently looking for volunteers.

Gary Ciurczak Plea to recognize teachers Declaring that a Board of Regents plan to recognize teachers as professionals is, “an idea whose time is woefully overdue,” New Yo rk Educators Association (NYEA) President Edwin J. Robisch told the Regents last week that his statewide union fully supports the concept of a professional board to govern the teaching profession and has urged the Regents to take action, but no specific recommendations for the board’s make-up have been publicly discussed. “It is patently absurd not to recognize the people who educate the state’s children as professionals. We live in strange times when people who give massages, cut hair, crack sore necks, stick needles and treat pets for illness are recognized by the state as professionals and those who have responsibility for educating our children are not,” Robisch told the Regents at a public hearing to, consider the concept of teaching as a licensed profession. The head of the 25,000-teacher statewide union noted that there are presently 30 professions recognized by the state (including acupuncturists, chiropractors, veterinarians, masseuses and masseurs, dentists and architects) all of which are governed by professional boards which consist of a majority of the respective professions. “There is, without question, a place for teacher education faculty and administrators, school district administrators and laymen on the board. But the primary function of the board would have NYPIBG: working for patients’ rights Robisch added Finally, in urging the Regents to take action and create proper guidelines for implementation of the plan, Robisch urged the to recognize, “the Regents organizations which represent teachers at the local level must be recognized by the state as of legitimate representatives teachers to implement the entire process of making teaching a legal profession.” “The time has come for the Regents to adopt and pursue what school boards have had to accept for a decade that teachers have legal representatives for them in all matters of professional concern,” Robisch said. - during elections In a move designed to speed up the lengthy process of tallying votes, the Erie County Board of Elections has employed a program aimed at installing the Printomatic machine in all the 1066 voting districts throughout the county. The Printomatic first available to the county in 1955, has not been utilized until now and is being tested in the Masten, Ellicott and South voting districts. If successful, machines will be installed in most, if not all, of the remaining districts. The basic idea behind the device is to reduce the time it takes to tally votes after the election booths have closed. The old process takes 30 minutes to read each machine, with an inspector having to read and transpose the results onto tally sheets. In addition, inspectors have to travel quite a distance from district to district. The total process can take anywhere from one week to ten days, causing the county to employ 15 regular workers and a number of part-time workers. The Printomatic, if installed, will be read in the morning before the polls officially open and again at the end of the day. It takes just 30 seconds for the new devise to tally the votes. Once this is done, the inspector can simply collect the tally sheets. The incorporation of this system could also lead to the establishment of a central tabulating center where all the tallies would be sent directly via computer. The need for a computer task group to tally the countywidc vote would thereby be eliminated. The Printomatic is a relatively small device at the rear of the voting machine. It consists of paper, carbon and a crank handle. When the voting period is over, the inspector pulls the crank handle and the machine takes an inprint of the information on the back of the machine. To convert to this machine will be an expensive process, according to Deputy Commissioner Ted However, Filosofos. the implementation of the system would save a minimum of $25,000 per year in payment for manpower alone.

Page seven �Buff State swims past Royals 68—63 Record stands at 4—0 , Fencing Bulls triumphant, foil Oswego’s win record by Robot Basil Spectrum Staff Writer The University of Buffalo fencing team nipped Oswego 14-13 last Wednesday evening in Clark Hall. Buffalo is now 4-0, and previously undefeated Oswego dropped to 7-1. The Bulls immediately took the lead with team captain Jon Solomon’s 5-0 victory in the foil event. At this point, Solomon is undefeated in eight bouts and appears to'be the Bulls* number one prospect to go to the Nationals this year. “We put Jon fust in the lineup because it is a good psychological jump on the opponent to win the first match. And Jon always wins,” commented assistant coach Glenn Miller. Rich Sherman rounded out the consistent “one-two stab” by also winning all three of his foil bouts. Sherman did run into trouble, however, in his second bout against Oswego’s Jeanne Carey. Carey is the only female varsity fencer on the Oswego team. After falling behind, Sherman barely escaped with a 5-4 win. Sherman explained that, “she really sapped my concentration. Although she’s really a very good fundamental fencer, I had a hard time taking her seriously. She almost had me.” Temper, temper Tension between the two undefeated teams was in the early-going. At one point, fencer Howard OUnsky angrily hurled his metal helmet at the Buffalo spectator bench after losing to Buffalo’s Said OUnsky, “I was given a bad rap. The Solomon. directing here was very questionable today.” OUnsky received an official warning for his actions. apparent affect the fencer’s concentration. Getting the touch does not always act as a full release. When a fencer yells, he can more easily think about the next.point. The noise can also throw off the opponent.” The match was always close, and the Bulls entered the third round of fencing with a slim 10-8 lead. Buffalo’s Agim Huerisowic started the third round in the foil event. Huerisowic, normally an epee fencer, jumped to a 4-1 lead over Carey, but then fell victim to Carey’s consistent and effective attacks and lost the match in overtime. “Agim performed very well for fencing foil the first time. We might make that a permanent change for him,” said Bremer. Prized pupil After Chor Wong’s first toss in his last six bouts, Buffalo’s hopes lay on opee fencer Ted Pawlicki. Pawlicki is a transfer student from Oswego who failed to make the varsity team there last year. Earlier in the match, he defeated Glen Moore, the Oswego fencer who taught Pawlicki the sport. In the deciding match, Pawlicki faced Marty Miller. Cautiously advancing and retreating, Pawlicki waited for his opponent to make a futile jab before parrying his sword to the side and making the first touch. Duelling to a 4-3 lead, Pawlicki batted down the repeated swinging slashes of his opponent. Pawlicki waited for the best possible moment for the final attack, and then lunged forward and stabbed Miller under his neck for the match’s deciding point. 100 another first in the backstroke (1:19.6), but going into the final three events, the The swimming Royals fell behind early to the Buffalo State Bengalettes, losing 68-63 at Clark Royals trailed 63-43. The only bright spot for the Buffalo swimmers was that they took advantage of every possible point in the last three events. Eileen Woods picked up 175.0 points in the optional diving with a first place effort. After that, captain Mary Drozda got UB Drozda (1:23.6) and Deenie rolling with an impressive victory Lambie took first and second in the 500 freestyle 6:40.2. place, respectively, in the 100 Drozda finished 19 seconds ahead backstroke. of second place finisher Sara Van U.B. cut the gap even more in Bartel of the Bengals.

Five different players scored for the Bulls, who now sport a 9-10 record on the year. In addition, their record in the New York Collegiate Hockey Association (NYCHA) is 5-3, fourth in the eight-team league. Senior center Frank Anzalone opened the scoring for Buffalo at the 8:20 mark, as he scored on a rebound after consecutive shots by Chris Bonn and Stu Campbell Geneseo were blocked by net-minder Gerard Ellers. The Bulls were shorthanded on two occasions earlier in the first period. The stalwart play of defensemen Rich MacLean and Dan Gemmer and the solid goaltending of Bill Kaminska kept Geneseo off the scoreboard. Buffalo barrage Both net minders came up with some key saves early in the second period. With Buffalo on the power play, Ellers 'Stopped consecutive bullets and by Campbell Anzalone. He then thwarted Tom Wilde on a break-away and stopped Ed Patterson’s shot from the slot. Kaminska was equally effective as he controlled three of the Knights’ attempts while Campbell was off for interference. Buffalo’s passing game began to click during the latter part of the period. As a result, the Harlem Wizards to Clark Hall Buffalo offense became much The Bulls effective. more mustered 15 shots on net during the period’s last eight minutes of play. Buffalo scored twice in the period as a result of hcads-up play. The Bulls’ Jim Galanti let go a long blast that was wide of the opponents’ net. But Freshman George Freeborn was there to pick the puck up off the boards and send it between Ellers’ legs for a 2-0 lead. Galanti and Carl Koeppel both received assists on the goal, Freeborn’s second of the campaign. The other goal was an effort. Anzalone-Koeppel Anzalone carried the puck into the Geneseo zone and left it there for a trailing Koeppel. The defenseman’s quick wrist shot to the left post gave the Bulls a three-goal edge.

Buffalo had just demolished the University of Rochester 75-51 Thursday night at Sweet Home High School in a key game as far as the Royals’ playoff hopes are concerned. Buffalo avenged a 24-point loss to the Yellowjackets last year and ended a streak of two consecutive twenty point losses this year. More importantly, the Royals dominated every phase of the game in front of Rochester coach Jane Possee, a member of the playoff selection committee. Additionally, Rochester is considered one of the top teams in Western New York, and they entered the game with an 8-2 record. The Royals, now .8-5, and Rochester, are contenders for the playoff spot from this area both teams cannot make the playoffs.

Their shot selection was impeccable, and as a result, they made a large percentage of their shots. “We worked a lot on shooting yesterday.” said Cousins. “We had to take good shots. We’re not tall- Ws have to get the rebound but we’re not goingto outjump anybody.” Still, the Royals got their share of offensive rebounds, and most of the defensive ones, too. Center Janet Lilley and forward Paula Hills pulled down ten and seven rebounds, respectively. Defensively, Buffalo cut off the Yellowjackets’ inside game, effectively nullifying Rochester’s height advantage. Throughout the game, Buffalo switched back and forth between three different defenses. “They weren’t sure when they were going to get pressure and when we were going to clop up the middle,” Cousins noted. Rochester got very few inside shots in the first half because of Buffalo’s stingy defense. They got a few more inside shots the second half, but usually were pressured into missing. When Rochester did find the open man, there seemed to be a lid on the basket. An explosion Buffalo got a solid effort from every player. Lilley led all scorers with 19, guard Kris Schu.n had twelve, Hills had 11 and super-sub Gabi Gray scored 9 while plaVing about half the game. Schum also had " seven steals and five assists. Buffalo trailed 16-13 with about eleven minutes left in the first half. Then, they exploded for an 18-2 spurt to take the lead for good. Rochester whittled the lead down to six early in the second half, but then Lilley hit three straight buckets, SchUra swished two outside shots and Hills and forward Dottie Holtz picked up some inside baskets, and Buffalo broke .. the game wide open. The playoff selection committee will be watching the Royals’ three games this week tomorrow at Genesee Community College, Thursday at St. Bonaventure and Saturday at Clark Hall against Syracuse at 2 p.m. The game against Genesee should be particularly interesting since both Sebum and starting forward Pam Lerminiaux both played for Genesee last year. — Monday, 13 February 1978 The Spectrum Page nine . . �HEY BOUNCER your mind almoM - IH confaf*. 1 Ilka much M I leva « your body.

There has not been a doctor on the North Campus since students began living there foar and a half years ago. y 1 The doctor will be available for two hours a day. • Director of University Health Services M. Luther Musselman said the need for a doctor at Amherst had been established years ago but nothing could be done until space was made available.“We couldn’t do anything until we got more space,” he said. “Finally, Director of Facilities and Planning John Telfer told me a room would be ready on February 17* ; ' * According to Acting Student Association (SA) Executive Vice Resident Jeff Lessoff, “University President Robert Ketter supported the effort strongly and deserves much credit for the accomplishment.” Vice-President of Health Sciences F. Carter Pannill credited Ketter. Musselman, Telfer, and himself for the successful effort. Pannill said, “Telfer had to make the additional space available, I;|ud to re-allocate the already appropriated funds, and Ketter had to support the entire effort.” One room, nedoctor .Tie only complete health facility at this University is located on the Main Street Campus in Michael Hall. At this center, there are eight Registered Nurses and four doctors servicing allergy, eye and dermatology clinics and providing immediate attention to approxanmteiy 11*) Main Street Campus residents. The Amherst Campus faciHty hed only one teem and no doctor, yet serviced on an n arc ddOO -students tivjng out.at Amherst,” said Lessoff. “There should be at least one doctor. Even Fleaently, it is still not known who will be the new doctor. Muwelrnan said Earl Cantwell, a current Main Street doctor, will be the first to serve Amherst. “For now the doctors we currently have will be used on a rotating part-time basis for periods of one month,” he raid. “This, in itself, is productive since 1 want all doctors to be familiar with the Amherst facility in case of an emergency.” Lessoff referred to the new development as an experiment, stressing that if the facility is not used by students, the need for it wffl be questioned and further expansion may be hampered. “Students have to use the new doctor,” he said, “or the claim wfll be made that the Amherst facility is no&very important. Ifstudents do take advantage of the services, expansion is a reasonable future step.” Virtually all services currently offered at Michael Hall will be offered at Amherst in/the future. However, students needing blood tests and prescriptions wiB still have togo to Mpin Street. The inconveniences for the Amhetst residents may soon be alleviated by either an expansion program, or a relocation of Health Services. Musselman said, “We want a large facility on Amherst. Eventually in fact, we want the main center to be there. The majority of students are located at that campus and therefore that’s where we should be." He added that ten to fifteen years ago, plans called for Health Services to be among the first to occupy space at Amherst. “Evidently thoae plans have been changed,” he added. Funding problem In regard to a future facility on Amherst, Musselman said that Health Services has been in touch with the office of Facilities Planning, but claimed expansion plans have not been made. He mentioned that Buffalo State College has a separate building for its facilities, which accommodates both in and out patients. Musselman blamed funding problems for the inadequacy of this University’s Health Services. “No additional funding is available,” he said. “In fact, last year appropriations were cut by the State by several thousand dollars,” he said. Musselman added that the new doctor won’t add to the budget costs, since one doctor left the Main Street facility last year, and no replacement was hired. The Clinical Psychology program here, one of the finest in the nation, has been thrown into serious jeopardy. With accreditation hinging on the program’s escape from inadequate facilities on Ridge Lea, the prospects of rennovating space in Parker Hall on the Main Street campus now appear dim. Administration officials determined Saturday that the move to Parker now seems unlikely due to a lack of funding for rehabilitation, according to Director of Clinical Psychology Steven Tulkin. “There is no physical structure in Parker for clinical research or psycho-therapy,” Tulkin said. “We were told Saturday that there is not enough money for refurbishing the structure.” An accreditation team from the American Psychological Association (APA) evaluated the program last November and deemed that a shift to Parker would be necessary to resolve the problems of overcrowding and isolation. The team is presently withholding it’s report to the Association and will not grant accreditation until some commitments have been made by the Administration to resolve the crippling facility problems. According to Chairman of the Psychology Department Kennetji Levy, the. accrediting team wanted assurance’ from the 'Administration that adequate facilities would be provided for the Albert Somit Department. “Executive Vice wrote a letter to the team stating that the Department would be relocated tentatively to Parker with 30,000 square feet of space,” Levy said. “The commitments Somit made have not yet been followed through.” - President Space in Parker has not yet been set aside, according to Levy, although he is certain that it will be found. “The problem now is that we need money for rennovation. So far the state hasn’t been very A THREATENING VIEW: Tha Clinical Psychology program is in carious daogar of losing its quarters, mdpoor iccfidititioti twfwm of fadtttiw at Rs Ridge Laa Campus basa. to our mfcietta." levy was quick to add that administrators at this school have been sympathetic to the department's plight. Clinical training has been hampered because of primitive facilities at Ridge Lea. Limited office space, inadequate observational facilities, thin walls, continuing isolation from the rest of the faculty, and lack of library and cafeteria facilities have contributed to a lowering of faculty morale and the hesitancy of the APA to extend Ginical Psych’s accreditation. “There is considerable concern among faculty members about the prospect of continuing —continued on page 4— Prompted by deaths Common Council keeps the heat on NFG,backsboycott The Buffalo Common Council continued to “turn the heat on” National Fuel Gas (NFG) Tuesday by giving final backing to the Citizens’ Alliance 100-day gas bill boycott and by passing an ordinance to require utility companies to notify the Mayor before shutting off service to any customer. The amendment to the City ordinance, which would require utilities to notify the Mayor in writing IS days before and again two to four days before shut-off service to a customer, was passed in the wake of the recent deaths of two elderly Buffalo residents. Rachel L. Wallace, 72, froze to death in her unheated apartment. Howard "Yogi” Cunningham died from exposure in Meyer Memorial Hospital after he was taken out of his unheated apartment where he had been for several days. Both had had their gas shut off after they failed to pay their bills. The idea behind the new ordinance is that the Mayor could intervene on behalf of people facing shut-offs especially elderly people not fully able to take care of themselves if he is notified in advance. - - Anti-utility The Council also referred to the Finance Committee a resolution by Masten Councilman David A. Collins which would require the City to report how much it spends for energy, including natural gas. Collins is one of the leaders of the boycott of NFG and has been trying to find out how much the gas company would lose if the City withheld payment of its gas bill. The rhetoric in the Common Council has been vehemently anti-utility since its members took office in January. Tuesday the Council followed through by approving 12-2 the resolution which asks that Mayor James D. Griffin and Comptroller Robert E: Whelan move to withhold payment of the city’s gas bills. The move by the Council is likely to be merely symbolic because Griffin and Whelan have already expressed their opposition to the City actually joining the boycott. Action by both Whelan and Griffin would be required to do so. Councilman-at-Large Herbert L. Bellamy, who joined Council President Pro Tempore Gerald J. Whalen in opposing the resolution, charged that his “colleagues are making accusations without the facts,” and that in his dealings with NFG in the past he has “always found them to be sympathetic and reasonable.” �have by Stephanie Maier Spectrum Staff Writer They will increasingly refuse to enter unequal unions, and they will not try to be Wonder parent’s joy or economic burden?

So, the KKK will be back sooner or later. Superficial media So, back to the question. Why is tliia in the judgement of the local commercial news media not news? Peggy Landsman, one of a number of people who came to the Council to oppose the KKK, asked the same question. “We don’t make news because we don’t wear funny outfits? That we came down to oppose racism, that’s news,” she insisted. The problem is that the local media don’t define news in that manner.

They were robbed by what he calls “the mine field;” what the state calls Highway 263; and what the street signs call Millersport Hwy. George denies the fact that there are pot holes on Millersport. “Those aren’t pot holes,” he reports, “those are swimming pools.” What Naomi Halligan lost on the Highway, she doesn’t want back. “I lost 20 pounds on Millersport Highway,” she informs. Naomi Halligan is a bus driver for the Blue Bird Company and makes frequent runs between the Main Street and Amherst Campuses. Fellow bus driver Jane Slowniak explained that because the buses have to make the distance between the two campuses in 20 minutes, they can no longer afford to avoid using the highway. Steve Grandinette, paving a student who has worked roads* explained why the thousands of patches don’t hold on Millersport Highway. The extreme temperatures and constant moisture in the area are not ideal for either laying or maintaining a patch. He said that even if a patch was mutilated put under, in temperatures and ideal dry conditions (moderate ground), the inevitable weather extremes would expand or contract the new patch at a different rate than the old pavement. The patch would soon be worn away anyway. - 1) Birth Certificate 2) Baptismal Certificate 3) Valid Drivers License 4) Valid Passport DON’T DELAY - BE PREPARED =ai==l —Strutln Bottleneck Millersport Highway belongs to the State of New York, which is not too fond of it either. “We hate to see a road like that,” said Norm Winkler of the State Highway Department. It’s the worst road we have.” Two years ago the State was planning to repave and widen the road by 4 feet on either side. Since MiUersport is a major traffic bottleneck, the Highway Department felt the road needed widening, presumably to allow cars the room to dodge the craters. However, many local residents opposed widening the street and came out in great numbers to a town council meeting to vocalize their feelings. In the heat of the meeting, one resident yelled and complained so fiercely that he collapsed and died in the room. The fierce opposition of the townspeople pushed the repaving back indefinitely. Winkler said that a May 25 startlng daje ftas been selected fof the rbslirfacing: However,' “roadblocks” to cross. there'' are still many Power line problems Jim Giardion, design engineer for the Highway Department, outlined the difficulties involved in the reconstruction. Materials may be scarce. The widening of the road will require Niagara Mohawk to tear down its power lines and then replace them at the town of Amherst’s expense. Giardion said that the Highway Department will have trouble meeting its May 25 starting date because of funding problems. Acting Executive Vice President Jeff Lessoff of the Student Association, allied with the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) intends to begin circulating petitions among students and faculty demanding that Millersport be smoothed. Lessoff said that the Amherst Town Supervisor, John Sharp, had suggested including the faculty in the petitions. Professors, Sharp claimed, are more respected by the residents of the town. According to Lessoff, both Sharp and State Assemblyman James Fremming fully support the project. Lessoff hopes to rally enough students for the next council meeting and sway the town in the council’s decision whether to oppose road construction. Lessoff claimed that the residents of the Grover Cleveland Housing Development are the main opponents. It was their commanding turnout that swayed the council two years ago, he said. “It’s annoying,” he commented, “that a hundred or so people can stop an improvement that would benefit so many other people.” Why are the residents so adamantly against what appears to be a much-needed improvement? They claim it will increase neighborhood noise, reckless driving and may make the area a more dangerous place to live. The University harbors a deeper resentment than students’ concern for ball joints and hubcaps. MiUersport not only runs right over the site of the new gymnasium, but also bisects Lake LaSalle.

The four day seige brought forth previously undisclosed living conditions of the hidden world. Overcrowding, poor health care, raciaim. inadequate educational services, and disgusting food were all included in the striking prisoners’ lists of demands. Although the Attica State Prison lettering is visible as a reminder of the far past, prisoners are now known as inmates and guards as correction officers. Plastic surgery has eliminated some of the scars, but how much has changed behind the 30 foot, endlessly reaching, concrete walls? Upon entering the prison, the walls take on new heights. The world is suddenly tangible as the armed watchtowers make one feel as if he is trapped in a slide, under the eye of a microscope. Tire colors of green and grey, distinguishing inmates and guards respectively, become categoric rather than aesthetic. Most importantly, the outside is still in. Baron felt the idea was good and hoped that student response “will be affirmative. Where else can they exhibit their talents, especially in Ellicott? it’s their theater and they should be allowed to use it.” One student exclaimed, “As long as there is good publicity, it could really work out well.” There will be future Backpage notices in The Spectrum to inform students when the program begins.

According to course director Jim Paul, this is the first operation of its type and it will expand the limits of the classroom to the medium. Paul said, “It will allow die University students to interact with the Western New York community.” The show will contain five minute weekly skits shown in series form in black and white. Some of the skits include “Lumpa’s Angels,” a spoof on CharHe’s Angels, “Geriatric MMNnMHMMMHiMMMMMMMM Jones” about a very old detective like Bamaby Jones, and a take-off on the news. Serious programs will also be presented such as interviews with professors, a tentative interview of Jim Griffin, and a possible documentary of the train terminal. Satires about Hue Bird Bus Company and Food Service will be presented in a format similar to “Saturday Night Live.” Paul said, “The show and course is an outlet for the students to experiment and develop their own talents.” The goals for next semester, according to Paul, are to organize a semi-professional unit run by students to broadcast in color and to get volunteers to work on a permanent basis with students. Chimneys, et. aL Paul is currently trying to obtain a permanent facility in Amherst for a TV production studio. He is also trying to move the studio to Fillmore 157 despite being hampered by a limited budget from Sub-Board I.

That show was nearly a dynamo. 1 I had previously expreienced ELP in concert at Rich Stadium during Buffalo's Summerfest '74. They had headlined the show. Ironically, musicians from both groups which opened the outdoor concert have been silenced by tragedy. In 1974, the James Gang boasted the addition of fireball guitarist Tommy Bolin. Having sat in on albiftns with Alphonse Mouzon and later with Deep Purple, Bolin is probably best known for his wailing expertise exhibited on Billy Cobham's Spectrum LP. Last winter his solo career came to an abrupt end when he overdosed in his Florida hotel room. The second group appearing that summer day, Lynyrd Skynyrd is no more. Its two most valuable members Within, the crowd had swollen to massive proportions. Emerson, Lake and Palmer continue to attract audiences of diverse age groups. While a large part of the downtown crowd was little more than twice as old as ELP's premiere disc (released in 1971), it wasn't unlikely to see middle aged rockers intently tapping to the music. band is Considering the believed to transport over 25 tons of sound equipment, the stage set-up was not overbearing. Greg Lake's customized guitars and bass adorned his section, stage right. Carl Palmer's extravagant drums, Chinese gongs, tympanies and assorted percussion loomed in the rear of the stage. Emerson's keyboards rose from the depths of a pit to the left. A large custom control panel equipped with video monitor complimented other synthesizers and Yamaha organ. To my disappointment, no acoustic piano was present Many glaze-eyed individuals contributed to the Karn-Evil Key board monster Keith Emerson A few dugs of vino and an elevated grand piano recently perished in a fiery plane crash. Last Wednesday was from the outset no ordinary night.

Icy winds sliced through layers of once warm clothing. The green steel slab bounced in treacherous syncopation to every pothole Main Street had to offer between Jewitt Parkway and the concert hall. Sucking on a number provided little warmth. atmosphere within the hall. Frisbees bounced off many an unsuspecting skull.

Another acido booed virtually night, the entire expecially when the grcup played softly and whenever Palmer soloed. powerful blast of white light, white heat at the audience. Next, "Tarkus" furiously erupted. Swirling timbres of electronic tempests forced many to their feet. Towards the end of the barrage, the floorboards at center stage peeled open and a grand piano elevated with hydraulic ease. The acoustic piano arrived just in time for the triumvirate to perform "Take a Pebble". Midway through the piece, Emerson took off on some of his finest playing of the evening. After a few slugs of vino, he soared on a solo piano version of Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag" and excerpts from his own "Piano Concerto No. 1." Dressed in black leather and knee boots, Emerson appeared as he had on the cover photograph on the aged Nice double LP.

FViday, 10 February 1978 The Spectrum Page nine . . �See'Goodbye Girl'as a Valentine's Day gift The Goodbye Girl written by Neil Simon and directed Herbert Ross, is one of those films you would love to love and send as a valentine. But like little Amy Carter or Pringle's potato chips, the overall effect is one of unnatural perfection, proving to be too good for its own good. A New York based love story, the proverbial wit-laced sdript opens with its heroine, Paula MacFadden, coming home from a shopping spree with her daughter, Lucy, Upon entering her attractively furnished apartment In a rundown and graffitti-covered Upper West Side building, the discovers that her lover and provider has left for California without them. Long divorced from Lucy's actor father, she is left with nothing but the apartment and a small amount of savings. Bemonaing the fact that this is the second time she has been "dumped on" by an actor, she swears them all off and attempts to make a comeback as a Broadway dancer. Sure enough, another actor comes on the scene. Without informing her, Paula's lover had sublet the apartment to a friend, Elliot, who has come from Chicago to star in an off-off-off-Broadway production of Richard III Of course, they share the apartment. Everything becomes predictable from here on in. by . who also directed Simon's The Sunshine Boys as well as this year's also unsatisfying The Turning Point seems to have an eye more tuned to the stage than to film. During the indoor sequences, especially, I had the sensation of watching a filmed play, with the sets looking like props on a stage as viewed from the qudience. Yet. the ultimate blame for the film's failure to convince and stand on its own must go to Simon. Currently being touted as America's most prolific playwright, he has made a name for himself writing sophisticated situation comedy enlarged for stage and screen. The problem here is that sit-com characters are either larger than life, like Simon's The Odd Couple or lightweight, as are these. The film's credibility is stretched by both situation and reaction, Director Ross, Stage vs. film Would Lucy, who is ten going on forty, really be so calm when faced with an hysterically sobbing mother whose lover has just walked out on the both of them? How could Paula and Elliot afford to lavishly redecorate their apartment on their struggling young performers' salaries? Even the seamy sides of New York City, the mugging of Paula by three thugs or a brawl in a Times Square strip joint, does not ring true; both coming off as things to be laughed at. A vulnerable sensibility The performances are wonderful. Marsha Mason, as child/woman Paula, has an elfin quality which grows as she does. She makes Paula as likeable as her skill can allow. Lucy, instead of being portrayed as the brat she could easily turn into, is given a vulnerable sensibility and toughness by young Quinn Cummings in her screen debut Richard Dreyfuss as Elliot I save the best for last Garfield, the serious and struggling young actor, overweight but confident enough to declare the "body is a temple" and loyal TM follower, is lovable. His energetic charm leaps across the screen and through, lending the fim its one true note of sincerity. With Valentine's Day only a few days away, I recommend that you go to the Como 8 Theater and see The Goodbye Girl because, despite its faults, it is fun. And, as Paula says to Elliot when he surprises her with a rooftop dinner, "So kill me.

Howard (Berkley/Putnanw, New York, 296 pp.) There once lived a cowboy who dreamed of duels. Not the long face-off of the six-gun draw at high noon, but the direct confrontation of broadswords and "brazen vixens". The great ax of a thief and barbarian cleaved cleanly thru the Hyborian Age to counter the charades of greedy bureaucrats, divine right dictators, and evil dabblers in the mystic arts. Dragons and demons often crossed his path, also, yet he found that worst ogres were two-legged, the talked quite smoothly, and (in some cases) caressed seductively as they prepared knives for his back. A king and a bold traveller, his worship and way was expressed thru unyielding action, while his "barbarian" standards (applied to government principles without bureaucratic impositions) created a system that would operate for the common folk as right and direct as a thrust of his Cimmerian steel. The Cimmerian (barbarian, thief, king) is the inimitable Conan. The cowboy mentioned at the beginning is the brilliant prose writer, Robert Ervin Howard, who created a pantheon of heroes, heroines, and master villians. Visual writing style None, however, has captured the Imagination of so many different people as the bronzed Northern giant, Conan the Cimmerian, whose galloping adventures into uncharted magic realms of stark human desire and imagination have sparked a whole genre of literature and furnished the finest graphic artists (Frazetta, Barry Smith, Neal Adams, etc.) with a bridge to great fame thru the media of paperbacks and comic magazines. Howard's visual writing style spun tableaus of Valhallan battlefields filled with epic warriors larger than life, where sinister forces (Man and Magician) often lurk in the flicker of the moonlight to conjure ultimate destruction. Something to think about today, wouldn't you say? ■r X V j. (1935-36), this edition features the previously unpublished poem, "The Hour Of The Dragon", which Howard wrote specifically for this novel. Now available in its originally intended entirety is Howard's only Conan novel. The Hour Of The Dragon in a handsome hardcover edition (the only authorized one at this time). Besides restoring the original interior illustrations from the Weird Tales original publication A gentle bravery The book is a gripping drama of Conan, now ruler of the most powerful of Western nations, Aquitonia. The story deals with the conspiracy between jealous despots and an evil sorceror who has been resurrected after a thousand years to destroy the Cimmerian and lay waste to his kingdom. At first captured by sorcery and believed dead by most, a long, steady struggle faces Conan as he breaks free with the help of a slave girl named Zenobia, who accomplishes with her honest feelings and gentle unsung bravery what a score of wenches could not do where Conan is concerned. Here the fight really begins, as Conan travels the many paths of his life (one, for example, as captain of a band of black corsairs) in a quest to locate the key to destroying the conspiracy and restore his kingdim. The tale, crossing miles and scores of varied peril, is the hour of the Cimmerian's greatest trial and a classic in the tradition of grand Norse mythology, which is clearly a vital inspiration here. One can imagine great Wagnerian overtures at play. For those who wish to observe Howard's approach to fantasy with a science fiction touch, try Almuric (paperbound, pub. Berkley Medallion, New York), another example of a master writer's imagination in spinning a cohesively thrilling tale from the agonies and auspices of our unfolding human aspirations. There is a barbarian in all of us, waiting to throttle this all too unbalanced facade of “civilization''. How will we, without war, make it work for the peace of all? Even Conan learned the power of pen and legislation, in the right hands, for wielding fair play. When will we channel our "beast"? Equally important, whose hand will hold the dials? —Michael F. Hopkins 'Equus' at the Kensington Medium dims the message by Michael Silberman flaws in the story which the film inadvertently exposes.

Peter Shaffer's happens when a play such as drama, a phychic confrontation Equus, whose intensity was involving a seventeen year old boy derived as much from its who has blinded six horses and a "dazzling theatricality" as from self-doubting psychiatrist who its disturbing content, goes from attempts to heal him, contains stage to screen?

What on the stage seemed original and imaginative appears on film too standard and cliche ridden. The psychiatrist is envious of the boy's passion, as he feels trapped in a sterile and loveless marriage. He argues that madness has its advantages over the normal and dull everyday world. It seems Shaffer is issuing forth the "physician heal thyself" adage. He asks us to believe that Dysert, the shrink, is an emotional cripple, locked into a stifling adoration of the Greek era. However, the film's most gripping and passionate moments come when the "emotionless" Dysart addresses the audience. Along with a recurring image, the wired mask of a horse's head, are soliloquies. It is perhaps fitting that these non-realistic scenes work best. In any case, it is hard to believe that this character is as lifeless as he is scripted to be. The lingering question is: why did this boy, Alan Strang, commit this ungodly act? What were his motives? In this sense the story has qualities of a detective drama, but its mystery is handled, or mishandled, so that one shouldn't have much difficulty deducing the causes. We see early that the boy's fixation centers on horses as both a religious and sexual symbol; one need only take that premise a little further to draw the correct conclusions. What we get then is a detailed account of Dysart's battle to exorcise the demon in the boy's mind and come to terms with his own interior malaise. The whole thing fits together so neatly that it seems the material wasn’t conceived but expertly tailored. There is no ambiguity, no loose threads. The puzzle comes already assembled with no missing pieces. it. As viewing a movie is by nature A misguided search Director Sidney Lumet has done some creditable prior adaptations, including Long Day's Journey Into Night and Twelve Angry Men, and in Equus he appears to have the material under images. tight control. However, Lumet lapses into periods of excess and heavy handedness, as his tight grip turns into a stranglehold. He doesn't choke the work as much as he tends to suffocate the audience's ability to participate in a passive act, it is essential that it not appear mindless. Lumet has virtually eliminated all instances of imagination in a misguided search for “naturalism." Instead of allowing the audience to unravel the boy's mystery through subtle suggestions, Lumet gives us simple painfully and loaded With meticulous care his camera proudly details the similarities of a picture of Christ in chains and a horse's head, which were at different times both above the boy's bed. Sure, he drives the point home, but must he bang the hammer and nails so loudly? Another excessive moment is Alan's arrival at the stable.

Understand? And the fourth speaker is placed in front of what appears to be a large hotel. Yellow taxis load and unload in the background, and a figure in an incongruous grenadier's uniform complete with plumed hat keeps this traffic moving with overexpansive arm gestures. Finally we meet the fifth traveller, himself a Papago Indian now living away from the reservation, who served as guide to the others. He speaks of the necessity and difficulty of preserving the Papago culture, first in English, then in Spanish, and finally in the language of the Papagos. This soliloquy is characterized in a publicity handout as "very moving and emotional". Perhaps, if you understand the Papago dialect. As he speads, he is standing in what appears to be a sandy barren desert with perhaps a dry lake as a boundary but why is that life lake as a boundary but why is that lifeguard tower lurking over there in the distance? I have been asked not to reveal the ending of the film, so I will only say that it is, indeed, schematic enough to be ruined by the telling. And I will add that the special form of oblivion reserved for the desert people is so appropriately off the wall that this ruination would be a loss. The perpetuator of this devious violation of the cinemantic proprieties is David Lamelas, who, according to the sparse information made available by Media Study/Buffalo, is an Argentine artist who has emigrated to the land of the lotus eaters and bitten the hand that soothes him. His talent is not negligible. With The Desert People he has realized the movie Tom Laughlin might have given us were he a punk rocker instead of a biHy-come-lately hippy. Artd not even Michaelangelo has captured so astutely as David the special banality of the southern California landscape, which here appears as a single superhighway in search of some place (any place) to — - go. The ume Warner Herzog Rounding out the program at he Waterfron Center are three one-or-two-reelers which pose equally vexing questions about the intimacy between film and reality; /, An Actress by George Kuchar, the founder of the lumpen Hollywood sensibility which John Waters has made commercially viable; Accident from the National Film Board of Canada, a quite chilling reconstruction of a glider plane crash; and Werner Herzog's Precautions Against Fanatics which got the benefit of the doubt from me just for its title. I understand it was made by the same Werner Herzog who directed such worthy films as Aguirre. The Wrath of God and Strozek (which will be unspooled later this term in the Squire Conference Theatre). This is an "early work," but had Herzog produced nothing else, his place in the history of the practical joke, if not the cinema, would be assured. All in all, these movies make up a program which can be recommended to lovers of the eccentric, if to no one else. At the least, they demonstrate that oddball sorts can make films for less serious purposes than the solicitation of compassion for victims of UFO sightings. —Aurora Floyd LAST DAYIItl VALENTINE SPECIAL!! $1.00 for 7 words10c ea. additional word in Monday, Feb. 13th issue of The Spectrum Com to Squire Hall Center Lounge TODAY from 12 noon 3 pm. • �Commentary & SHE HE 840 St. Punk music is a lot like brown mustard and chocolate ants Young (Colvin exit 1-290 in Twin Fair Plaza 692-3344 by Terence P. Kenny Spectrum Music Staff As witnessed by those in attendance, WBFO's benefit concert cum record hop Anarchy On The Airwaves drew a very small crowd. A noticeable proportion of the people were local pseudo-punks in search of cheap beer. As for our educated students, hardly any made their presence known. The program was fun, however, blatant the exposure of new wave, our newest genre of rock and roll. The advertising logo was by no means covert. The safety pin ( a generation ago it signified a new addition to the family) now deemed the archtypal symbol of punkdom, exclaimed the intent while simultaneously negating the purpose. First and foremost, Gary Storm wanted to turn the people on to some new music. Too bad those that wanted to check it out shied away because of the omnipresent punk vibe. People are afraid of Punk Rock, expecially middle class collegians with chronic esthetic guilt complexes. They are not ready to check something out, and are more readily placated by the media's exposure of the new wave. FRIDAY & SATURDAY GOOD RATS Some people would rather know the names of all the groups than bother listening to any of them. By employing this facade of omniscence, they can expound their opinions without the fear that somwbody will call their bluff. Hence we have a faction that knows all about the Sex Pistols without ever having heard their music. They base their opinions on what the television says and what the Voice writes. God forbid someone should go to a concert without reading Christgaus' from New York City - TALAS preview. Rotten Stone The gargantuan effort on the media's part to surface new wave only serves to drown it as it gropes for the breath of life. Johnny Rotten did not need to appear on the cover of Rolling Stone to insure his fame. Instead the magazine confronts us with their philosophy: "Here is a person that we think you think we are interested in." Mutual masturbation perfected; we see the pictures and the magazine sells because of its cover. The star becomes famous and is given ample rope to hang himself. Remember Bruce Springsteen? Oh yea, still in the studio. Time and Newsweek in one week can do it to you. Bruce has a lot more punk in him than many of his fans will admit but by no means is he encompassed in what is now "new wave". The media blitz is going on right now; people are having their names tossed about (Elvis Costello, Patti Smith, Joey Ramone) without having their purpose (Rock And Roll) explained. This serves to alienate the shy rock and roller. Instead of hearing a record and wondering who the artist is, one hears of the artist and wonders what type of music they play. What this all gets back to is the fear people have of new wave rock and roll. But they are also afraid of the dark. To overcome this fear one must create the illusion of light. Then just as everything seems normal, turn out the light and see if they're still afraid. The modern world All this became very clear to me last Saturday night at acertain off campus party. The usual fiends were present, some of the same Lees that help close the CPG eight nights a week. They were ready for the usual music and that's what they heard. Van Morrison, Motown, Stones, et al. ad nauseum. Just as the people were clamouring for dancing music (The Duke had them standing) and complaining that the music was boring and I put on some Elvis Costello, from his dynamic premiere album, and the crowd went wild boogying their asses off. For once the people were really dancing, not shakin' their booty in search of a partner. When Jonathan Richman came on the crowd went berserk(ely); the tunes were classics a la Chuck Berry so there was no reason focthe people not to sing along. at Newport i t ti»i «. 1.1 i SUNDAY The biggest surprise was the cheers as "Anarchy in the U.K." ended I let the Pistols rave on and the party started to cook. Finally the floor was bending as the Ramones did "California Sun". Hardly any of the crowd knew what they were listening to and if they did, the dancing would have been left to the new wave freaks to sustain. When their queries were answered, the responses were comprised of anguished surprise, "you mean that was the Sex Pistols, wow, the Jam sounded really good etc." Sorry to say, the only way to get people to listen to new wave is to keep it undercover, just as with chocolate covered ants. Don't tell them what it is and they'll eat it up. Friday, 10 February 1978 The Spectrum Page thirteen . �m records ■M> r ’ 'm- i# I McCoy Tyner, Inner Voices (Milestone) BUI Event, Alone (Again) (Fantasy) Two statements from pianistic maestro*. Bill Evans, the quintessential fortitude of stylistic play, brings foreward an album of subtle daring that possesses, the waltzing flamboyance to sweep you awares off your feet in a feeling of romantic power. Playing the entire album on solo piano (only the second time he's done so), he faces the potential often overlooked in the popular ballad today. People tend to regard the performance of ballads as derogatory because of the weakening power faced if the player has nothing of his own to bring out the ballad's vibrant beauty. Evans, as his career and this LP further unveils, is a Master of the Musical Languages. From the lyrical sunshine swing he applies to Brubeck's "In Your Own Sweet Way" to the sensations sweetly surging from "The Touch Of Your Lips", Evans shows the articulate clarity and concise delivery that has always brought imagination unafraid to be smilingly optimistic for "People". To "Make Someone Happy", be yourself oonductively. Speak softly, bold. McCoy Tyner, master of volatile and deep velvet gentle might, has a legacy and a pianistic touch that has always encouraged direct communication, but his previous album. Supertrios, showed a tendency to lay back in the studio, somethings he's never had to do whether playing ballads, torrid sambas, or whatever. His present LP, Inner Voices, shows this tendency far more pronounced, and to say the least, it's distressing (Especially since many "critics" are already setting up raves.). Unlike most of his peerless work. Voices (for voice,horn, and' guitar with.piano, of course) is. fo; the most part, stiff, stammering, and uncharacteristically uninspired. His first work with voice on Blue - Note's Asante. small orchestra on Blue Note's Tender Moments, and varied colors via brass, reed, woodwind, vibes, marimba and strings on the classics Song of the He w World, Sama Layuca, and the extremely rich Fly With The Wind (not to mention his work on Co\trane‘t A fries Brass on Impulse) show Tyner possessed of an uncanny orchestral ability that contains the fire and virtuousity of "classical music" and "jazz" with a tonal taste for colors that are virtually unmatchable (as his liye appearances yet testify). Why. then, is it necessary for condescension when he's already made the distinction of making it big economically on his own aesthetic terms with fully entertaining (and accesible, if you will) artistry? Art should neither haw to repeat the past efforts or. to avoid such repitition, slip into apathetic performance simply going t hrougf motions. When a man like Tyner, who has understood this too welt and has given, steadily, so much integrity and Low to the Music for near 20 yaars suddenly comes up with something to limiting his performing powers to suggest the point of nadir, then the inherent suggestion points to something drastically wrong...... with the man. the administration, or both. Abo disturbing; Why hasn't Milestone released more music with Tyner's band? (apart from the appearance of a couple of members in non-solo ensemble work hare, the Only group work has been the fine Focal Point a whetting of the appetite) In its two yaars, it has been world recognized as one of the finest groups around. I tink that Joe Ford is owed an opportunity to fully answer to the world. Equally overdue is the end of this hopefully brief period of McCoy Tyner's career: The man, a consummate Master, bears far finer moments. —Ntkhat! F. Hopkins Adjoining Suites (RCA) Aztec Two-Step's latest effort is a good folk-rock album that should please not only their devoted fans but casual listeners as well. However, in comparison with some of their earlier work, it lacks depth. They can do better. With all this recent confusion about musicians “growing" or becoming stagnant. I'd hesitate to label them as one or the other. Their sound has changed somewhat over the five years they've been recording together, but 'in the past they've had more varied subject matter within their albums. Adjoining Suites' major theme is love. It's tried and true, and it's also difficult to do folky love songs in fresh new ways. Their most successful attempts here are “I Wonder If We Tried" and "Brand New".

Jay Rosen is one of the few people at this University who can be considered a whole person. He does not strike one as a glazed-eyed worshiper of the 4.0, nor as a bomb throwing son of the sixties. Rosen is trying to form a reality for the good of all. His ideals are not idealistic The facts that he reveals in the “Student power crisis” should open the eyes of all the apathetic undergraduates at UB. Rosen’s goals should be the goals of every student at this University with half a brain. Our education is not only the fight to obtain a diploma. The University should be part of the world as a whole. The students should function as a political, social, educational and administrative force, lire students must take hold of their own futures. If the students become a strong force in as many ways as possible, it will force the administration to sit up and work for or against us in some way (more than it is doing now). Rosen believes that the SA should take on the burden, and this is very true. The SA is one way the students can put pressure on the administrators of this University. But if each student does his part within or outside of the system, a solution can be reached. A motivation is the biggest problem. Students must wake up and take hold of their educational future. Do not let them take away our important rights (i.e.. the four course load). Patrick Reilly Freeing ■VT' oneself To the Editor. I support Clearwater’s views (Guest Opinion, The Spectrum, Feb. I, 1978) on liberation from the stereotype monogamous relationships. The author seems somewhat hesitant when saying, “For certain periods of time, it may be the right thing. It may offer a familiar context, a safe, secure environment.. .” As I think, a deep relationship with one individual can flourish together with other relationships and so one doesn’t , have to be monogamous for certain period of time to win the confidence and secure environment with one individual. If one were to do that then he or she would end up in the same problems faced by those who commit themselves to monogamy. We also have to recognize the role of social and economic institutions on the issue. A few decades ago the idea would have been more of academic interest (and it still would be in many parts of the world) than a viable proposition. The prosperity and individual freedom brought about by technological progress are instrumental in paving the foundation for freedom in this direction. Unlike some other liberation movements this involves freeing oneself from oneself. There are many who would say that monogamy is yery natural because human beings by nature are possessive. After all the conditioning and inculcation we have been through it is very hard to say what is natural. The question/is very similar to the one which is often raised in connection with human sexuality. Why can’t we just forget about what experts say and just act natural. Do we or can we act natural? No. And so we have to investigate and learn about it. We can’t get too many answers by studying primates either in this area. Because anthropologists tell us that sexual behaviour is something that has dramatically changed in the course of human evolution, which in part is evidenced by the disproportionate growth of human sexual organs as compared to primates. Contrary to the advice of Clearwater I would advise caution to my readers about putting the idea to practice. I think the issue is much more subtle and needs serious thinking on the part of the individual. One should be able to envision various possible situations which would arise a|L a result of non-raonogamous (I prefer this term as compared to ‘polygamous’ due to its usual connotation; of one-too-many) behaviour on the part of the individual and his (or her) partner and its consequences. Some restrain and serious thinking might save the trauma of jealousy and broken-heart. , Consultants a must To the Editor. I strongly support the recommendations made by Jay Rosen in Monday’s “Exile on Main Street.” There is indeed a need for professional expertise in SA in order for it to function effectively. The dormant . construction at Amherst Campus demonstrates this need. One of the main priorities of the current SA administration was to speed up Amherst construction. However, the leaders were at a severe disadvantage. The Division of Budget has many well-trained technocrats who can effectively doubletalk any student government leader from any in the state. I, too, was at the Faculty Senate meeting when Dictator Reichert laughed at students attempting to point out that three credit/three contact hours really means a five course load! I still can remember Reichert and his cohorts emphatically denying this (reminding me very much of a numerous amount of Nixonian denials). Student government leaders were unable to effectively present their arguments with sufficient written documentation. This University runs in reality on paper, and actually no where else. Dictator Reichart ignored Dennis Delia that day, when Delia is supposedly the one student whose opinion should be listened to. It was one month later when I had the opportunity to participate in the Undergraduate Political Science Department’s Review Committee as one of the two token student representatives. At this meeting all Faculty agreed that what was to be discussed was the Five Course Load\ Clearly contradicting Dictator Reichert. Yet the most compelling reason I have for supporting Rosen’s proposal to hire professional campus Declaration of bankruptcy To the Editor. The relationship between the fiscal problems of New York City and New York State is a subject of concern to anyone associated with UB. The article on The Spectrum front page of February 6, 1978 states that, according to Mr. Lanford of SUCF, the fiscal problems of New York City pulled the State of New York into financial difficulties. This is not true. The financial problems of New York State are caused, in large part, by an ill-advised and Hi-conceived effort by certain politicians and consultants is that I am convinced that it will work. My strong conviction that professional consultants will aid SA officials is based upon my position as Chairperson of the Local Board of Directors of the New York Public Interest Research Group here at UB. One can trace the rapid rise and growth of NYPIRG from an idea initiated by four students in a room at Syracuse University just a few short years ago, to an organization representing students from across the state, employing over 80 professional staff lawyers, community organizers, staff scientists, lobbyists and project coordinators. This staff has enabled students to become the most effective public interest citizen action group in New York State. It has put NYPIRG in a position where it can assert itself and accomplish its stated goals. The primary reason that NYPIRG is able to do so is that the students have hired professional, qualified consultants to overcome the problems of student apathy, lack of experience of student leaders, lack of knowledge, lack of leadership continuity from year to year and irresponsible students. These are problems common to both SA and NYPIRG. NYPIRG has chosen to overcome diem by hiring professional consultants; Student Association should follow this example. Although hiring consultants for SA seems like a radical idea, it is not. It is an intelligent proposal, proven by NYPIRG to be effective and should be strongly considered. I urge all students to contact SA officials and demand that they hire professional consultants. Lewis Rote business and labor leaders to avoid the bankruptcy of New York City. In fact, there is no evidence that a bankruptcy of New York City would have had nearly the effect on the state’s finances that the recent massive transfers of funds to the city have had. A strong case can be made that in 1975, and again today, a formal declaration of bankruptcy by New York City is not only the most efficient but also the fairest way of handling the problem. Mark I. Weinstein Assistant Professor ofFinance A Operations Analysis Form a coalition To the Editor. You Are Not Alone! Dear Mr. Daniel T. Quider: I can hardly describe to you the profundity of my fellow-feeling at seeing you described on the front page'of The Spectrum (3 February 1978) as the Buffalo City “Council’s Lone Rcpuglican.’’ Believe me, I know how difficult it is expressing opinions about “extreme actions” when you form a minority of one not only locally, but internationally. But everything works dialectically, you see. As the world’s only Demobrat, I realized from the start that the only way to preserve my integrity was to keep my political affiliation totally secret. If you did the same, who blew the lid? Was it, perhaps, an act of compassion like mine at this very moment. If so, do let’s work together in the future form a coalition, maybe? - Jas want R. Mm Editor’s note: A sudden interest in issues vital to the University and in Guest Opinions appearing in these editorial pages, plus the usual assortment of things written, some sane and interesting and others insane and more interesting, has prompted an overwhelming number of I.etiers to the Editor. As many of these letters as possible are being printed, but some will have to waif. In feet, some will not be printed at all, due to certain legal constraints this column faces. All letters most be signed with names, real names, and not with initials, names of high government officials, movie stars, and baseball players, nor with “committee for .,** or “commuters for ..or “squirrels against.or “wankers united for The validity of all questionable names and letters are checked out against computer lists. This semester, it seems, two Letters to the Editor column should exist, one entitled “Real Letters" sad the other “Fake Letters," but such a thing, funny as it would be, will never come to pass. As usual, those persons wishing to remain anonymous need only sign their real names and underneath, “Please withhold name.” S This is not an authoritarian measure, though it may appear as such. The people who write such suprising and shocking things should have the sense and guts to sign them. Otherwise, they are not worth leading or writing. Thank you very much. Brett Kttue .. - Max. A.

Esposito claimed his department could cope with the great demand for RARI courses in response to an article in The Spectrum which quoted a source to the contrary. Esposito described the controversy surrounding the feasibility of the mandatory two credit hour requirement of physical education as “an illusion of a problem.” He attributed the source of the dispute to “some erroneous conclusions on my part and by the Department.” Esposito said because only 50 per cent of freshmen here eventually graduate from this University, the physical education requirement can be met. He claimed there is no reason why every student completing four years of school here could not complete a two credit requirement. The No good Esposito felt strongly about the mandatory requirement saying, “It teaches skills that will help us better enjoy our leisure time. We all have a need of recreation. It is the one thing that is common to everyone.” Although RARI has had to make due with a less than desirable situation, Esposito doesn’t see any problem with overcrowding. He claimed there are a few physical education courses which have not been filled this semester. At the heart of the problem is the uncertain future of the two phases of the new gymnasium complex to be built on the Amherst Campus. Construction and design problems have pushed the groundbreaking of Phase I of the gym (a 10,000 seat fieldhouse) to Spring 1979 at the earliest. Esposito said he anticipates no barriers to be overcome before the new gym construction can begin, but he cautioned, “Construction cannot begin until Millersport Highway is re-routed and DOB releases money for construction.” Sam Pellom’s two free throws with SO seconds remaining in overtime put UB on top for good, as the basketball Bulls defeated Youngstown State 87-85 Tuesday in Clark Hall. The Bulls snapped their seven game losing streak thanks to the superb play of their starting five. Pellom probably played his best a collegian, as he game as collected a career high 30 points and grabbed a game high 17 rebounds. Pellom wasn’t alone in the scoring category, as Ed Jones Larry Johnson and contributed 22 points each. The Bulls were also aided greatly by their other two starters, Nate Bouie and George Mendenhall. Bouie grabbed 16 rebounds, 11 of which came in the first half. Mendenhall quarterbacked the team, but seemed to be all over the floor on defense; he stole two inbounds passes at critical points of the game. “I felt I could lead the team and come through in the clutch,” said Mendenhall. period, and never fell behind, as Peilom rebounded his own shot and scored. The Penguins then employed a semi-stall and failed to get a shot off for three minutes. Their reluctance to shoot was in part due to Buffalo's intense pressure defense. Peilom then iced the Bulls third victory of the campaign, on two free throws that touched nothing but As the second half opened, Buffalo’s aggressive defense forced numerous Penguin turnovers. UB then hit three consecutive buckets to cut the Youngstown lead to three, 54-51, with five minutes gone in the half. Three times the Bulls cut the lead to one but buckets by either Andrews or Covington kept the Penguins on top. net. Buffalo finally took the lead 74-72, as Mendenhall took a full court pass from Pellom and laid the ball in with less than five minutes remaining. Coach Leo Richardson was extremely pleased with the play of his squad. “We finally looked like a basketball team out on the floor,” stated Richardson. “Johnson, Jones and Peilom were very consistent and Mendenhrll had a complete turnaround.” Saturday, the Bulls will face an extremely physical Army team in the Memorial Auditorium at 6.30. The Bulls will have their collective hands full with the Cadets’ all-time leading scorer Gary Winton, who is one of the top forwards in the nation. Winton has been named many times to the weekly ECAC all-star Chances missed Although the game went into overtime, both clubs had excellent opportunities to win in regulation time. Johnson hobbled a pass and watched it roll out of bounds with 18 seconds left, foiling Buffalo’s third chance in the last 40 seconds to win. Following Johnson’s mishap, Covington’s jump shot fell astray, as time ran out in regulation. Buffalo scored first in the extra team. WBUF- FM 93 & FESTIVAL PRESENT CRACK THE SKY UB fights back In the first half, the lead changed hands six times. The Penguins opened the game shooting 2-for-l 1, but regained their poise to take a seven point edge at halftime 44-37. Youngstown’s Jeff Covington and Frank Andrews, both 6-7, were unstoppable inside. Covington had 14 at the half, but ended up the game's high scorer with 34.

THE SECOND EVENT OF ITS R^|rV- by Marie r should enforce the same set of rules, so the team that plays better will come out on top. Assistant Sports Editor On December 9th, the basketball Royals lost a controversial game to St. Lawrence, 50-47. With 48 seconds remaining and the score knotted at 47, St. Lawrence got the ball up court quickly and Sharon Duffy went up for a layup. Buffalo center Janet LiUey, realizing that she had been beaten, called to her teammates for help. Duffy scored the goal, and the official called a technical foul on LiUey for yelling at the St. Lawrence shooter, terming it a “flagrant foul.” Duffy converted the free throw, and St. Lawrence retained possession for the remaining seconds. When Royals’ coach Liz Cousins questioned the call, the official showed her a hand written interpretation of the rule in her rule book. Cousins was angry that the referee had relied on her own interpretation of the rule rather than an official one.

Claiming that, “real need i» not a determining factor in allocating funds for construction,” they have again delayed groundbreaking on the 10,000 seat fieldhouse' (Phase 1 of the Amherst Gym), this time until 1979. The schedule at Clark Hall is so jam packed that there is virtually no time for open recreation. This past week is a perfect example. On Monday and Wednesday nights, Clark Hall was occupied with Intramurals. Tuesday there was a men’s basketball game and Thursday the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra held a concert. Tonight there will be recreational badminton and Sunday there are Intramurats again. Ask the referee ■ ?. Tomorrow, only because the wrestling team is Was the official justified in making this crucial on the road, the gym will be open from 10 a.m. to call? The Spectrum decided to consult an expert. We 4:45 p.m. asked Hal Lebovltz, the Sports Editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, and a former referee, whose Suggestions I’m not blaming the Recreation Department column “Ask the Referee” is a regular feature of The Spurting Newt. Lebovitz writes: “Rule 10 Section 9 totally, but I’m not excusing them cither. There are gives the official rather broad powers (in this ways to provide more time for recreation here. The situation]. ‘A Player shall not disrespectfully address Bubble can be opened up on Sunday nights.

The Basketball Royals were routed for the second consecutive time Tuesday, suffering a 78-50 loss to Big Four rival Buffalo State. The defeat, which followed a 72-50 loss to Niagara, dropped the team’s record to 7-5. UB got behind early and stayed there as the Bengalettes dominated the backboards and controlled the game. Though 6’2” Marj Jakiel saw only limited duty because of an ankle injury, Buffalo State still held a 20-8 first half rebounding edge. Buffalo State forward Darlene Pearson rolled up 16 first half points on her way to a game high 24. The Bengalettes played tough defense and forced UB into some long shots. The Royals failed to establish an inside game, which also plagued them against Niagara. Royals’ center Janet Lilky was ridden with foul trouble again and Buffalo 'coach Liz Cousins was forced to go to her tjuee guard offense to compensate. “1 don’t have much height,” said Cousins. “That’s all I have.” and ■»ul ■ TODA Y is the last day to place your Valentine Personal ad in \ 3103 SheridanDr., Northtown Plaza, Amherst HAIRCUT Designing by Nkk Moses Lina Nadar HAIR REMOVAL TECHNICIAN $33-7023 Ph. — The Spectrum Feb. 13th issue, to the Adelphi new program in COME TO SQUIRE HALL CENTER LOUNGE TODAY FROM 12 noon 3 pm where a special table will be set - up to take VALENTINE PERSONALS •1.00 for 7 words each 10c for additional word or come to The SpccTipM Home Address Sta City Campus Address 355 Squire from 9-5 pm Cl,y . » Stale —■■ Zip Home Phone Zip Campus Phone No heba8,so,,ndw,dual merit and' irt^r^d^^"^U(^ creed or se« without regard 0n ' �CLASSIFIED IS* OFFICE HOURS: 9 a.m.—5 p.m. LOCATION: 355 Squire Hall, MSC.

Mayor James D. Griffin has centralized control over the spending of $22 million in Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. Community Development Commissioner William J. Donohue thus becomes the key figure in the administration of the Block Grant funds. The changes became fully clear the next three years).

Griffin refused the four other Democratic District Councilmen and the one Republican any say in the choice of co-ordinator. For the University District coordinator, Griffin had named Deputy Commissioner of Transportation Steven Schwartz. Schwartz was swamped by Fahey in the Democratic primary for Councilman last year, and is one only those supported his election allowed who — of his bitterest political enemies. The naming of Schwartz touched off a week long battle between Fahey and the Mayor in which the two traded insults over the telephone and in the press.

Majority Leader George K. Arthur described the Councilmen as, “mad, very mad.” And, University District Councilman Eugene M. Fahey, who had been feuding with Griffin all week, said, “the tragedy of the thing is not that we won’t have the co-ordinators. It’s that we have a Mayor who is not a reasonable man.” Griffin had originally agreed to keep nine of the community co-ordinators until the end of June but insisted that he be the one to name them. The Mayor The University is not a corporation, not a commercial enterprise nor is it, in the usual sense, a governmental In a agency. University, the administration does not assign purposes and tasks to the faculty, but rather these tasks as self-selected to a large degree. There are two classical models of the Bologna model, run by students; universities the Oxford model, run by faculty. It should be noted that neither is run by the administration. - ****** � � � • � As a general test of the administrative process, the committee examined the specific topic of allocation and reallocation of faculty positions, or “lines.” The committee thus hoped to get a oyer-all picture of the process of administering this University. The Administration will have to center its response around a number of serious problems 1 unCbvered by the committee;'' One is the “significant differences” in the apportioning of faculty lines between the Health Sciences sector and the remainder of the University, called the “core campus.” Officials in the Health Sciences reportedly feel confident that if their faculty lines are vacated, administrators will support the replacement of those lines. In contrast, core campus officials preceive that all vacated faculty positions are seized by the administration, and that replacements must be fought for. Justification “seems to be constantly required” for retaining faculty positions once they are vacated, the report states. This inconsistency allows Health Science officials to devote more time to problems of operations and support than their core campus counterparts, the report says. Ira Cohen, Chairman of the committee, said “There does not seem to be great concern about faculty lines in Health Sciences.” ' With this thinly veiled chiding, a Faculty Senate Committee wound down its sharply critical report evaluating the University administration. The Ad-Hoc Committee 'on Administrative Evaluation presented its report to the Faculty Senate in April of 1977. The report, a culmination of 23 interviews with administrators at various levels, details a host of far reaching problems within the Administration including poor information flow, an insular and defensive administrative stance and inconsistent, “capricious” decision making. The report, meant to provide the faculty with a clear view of the administrative process, portrays the administration as too often working “behind closed doors.” It reads: “The central administration is viewed as purposefully avoiding public disclosure of priorities. The upper-level administration is not The report reads: “The central administration is viewed as purposefully avoiding public disclosure of priorities” . . The committee got the clear impression that . preceived as having given serious consideration to a thorough evaluation of administrative actions.” Mandate ignored According to Assistant to the President Ron the Administration is in the process of preparing a response to the Committee to be presented to the Faculty Senate mahout a week. The Faculty Senate last year adopted the report’s strongly worded recommendation that a " different administrators preceive the decision making process and structure of authority in very different ways, in particularly whether the central adminstration “has a say.” Again, this differed between the Health Sciences sector and the core campus.

However, that mandate has not been carried out by Faculty Senate Chairman Jonathan Reichert. There is presently no standing body of faculty members evaluating the administration, although the committee members clearly urged for one. Their report stated that with no “consistent and on-going” examination of the administrative process, “there will not be any hope for a formal check and balance system between the faculty and the administration.” Reichert, in explaining- his reluctance to establish an on going evaluation team, said that his “administrative style” leans away from establishing “continuing” committees. “There have been a number of committees that 1 haven’t constituted,” Reichert explained. “My own judgement is that the committees that are active and informed are the ones . Department chairmen work with a remarkably poor information base and often have no idea precisely where and how decisions are made . . . . . it was felt that the deans of the individual schools “run their own show,” In the core campus, it was felt that the President’s office plays a “much more active and direct role.” ‘Never heard of it’ Cohen said that “even on major things” there was wide disagreement between the various levels of the administration about the decision-making process. As an example, Cohen pointed to one Provost who claimed a University Budget Committe plays a major role in allocation of faculty lines while another “never heard of a Budget Committee.” The report then delves into problems of communication and information flow within the —continued on page 2 — �For Buffalo’s Main St. Abortion: the relief, lie mental anguish Rapid Transit approaching .•/ “It is after her first abortion that a woman begins to ‘know.

Our society strong has anti-abortion mores. Although may and friends family accept the understand and decision, the woman may become depressed and upset without really understanding why.

Groundbreaking for Buffalo’s $336 million light Rail Rapid Transit System is planned for the fall of this year. This was disclosed at a symposium Thursday night entitled The Buffalo Rapid Transit System which was sponsored by the College of Urban Studies. Niagara Frontier Transit Authority (NFTA) spokesman Daniel Hoyt placed the estimated date of completion of the subway system at mid-1983. Metrorail will extend 6.4 miles from Memorial Auditorium on Main Street to this University’s Main Street Campus. Plans include subsequent extensions to the Amherst Campus and Tonswand a areas. Hoyt explained that the economic benefits of the subway system are expected to be a real shot in the arm to economically depressed Buffalo. The initial federal construction money is expected to have a multiplicative effect as it recirculates through the local economy, Hoyt said. Construction and maintenance of the system should also generate much needed jobs. Eventually, the City of Buffalo plans to permanently close Main Street to vehicular traffic from Tupper Street to Church Street (the south end of the Main Place Mall). The Mall will function as an open plaza permitting only pedestrians, metro trains and emergency vehicles. It will attempt to provide a more attractive business area, conducive to incoming business and private economic development. This attractive business area will escalate real estate value and increase the City’s tax base, suggested Hoyt. The selling point of the system to new customers was summed by Hoyt as “speed, efficiency and safety.” The subway system is predicted to cut travel time along the route from an extremely variable one hour and 12 minutes, to an average of 17 minutes per ride. Ample security precautions are assured to guarantee round-the-clock “ridability.” In addition, a number of innovative measures are being taken to piovide for handicapped and disabled persons, stated Hoyt. Free transfer NFTA hopes to make the system accessible and attractive to persons presently using private means of transportation. “Metrorail will be combined with the Buffalo’s “seven-month snow season” is also a Metrobus system to form a fully integrated public system, reason for the transit rapid sound economic network,” Hoyt said. “When the line is transit said Hoyt. He claimed that Buffalo working people operational, present Metrobus systems will be altered days several each winter due to snow and that lose to provide a feeder bus network.” Free transfers will each day lost by 10,000 workers amounts to an be offered as an inducement to attract new and estimated $500,000 payroll loss. Hoyt stressed that suburban riders. the severity of Buffalo’s past two winters provides a The new system will be integrated within a convincing argument for a “weatherproof means of transportation.” comprehensive metropolitan plan to spur urban Another economic plus, said Hoyt, is that a development and channel suburban growth. At the minor coal Industry is expected to develop to supply national level, the system is in keeping with current the electrical needs of the new subway. This might energy objectives of increased usage of mass have the further effect of revitalizing the waterfront transportation and energy self-sufficiency. / creating Many women feel a sense of loss after an abortion, even though the preganancy was not wanted- Mary, a junior here, had an abortion six months ago. ”1 ikHUMaai Mura felt a sense of emptiness.

More specifically, the report claims that department chairmen work with “a remarkably poor information base” and often have no idea precisely where and how decisions are made. Lower levels of the administration, such as department heads, hold back inofmration from higher-ups. Cohen explained, “The problem of information is not just ones that run down, it also runs upward." As an example, Cohen said that a department chairman might withhold news of a faculty member leaving until he has a high-regarded replacement in line. The information available to upper ranking decision-makers is thus “distorted” the report states. According to Cohen, the most common concern expressed the interviews with various in administrators revolved around “capricious" decision-making, meaning that personal relationships colored the results. It was felt that decisions on faculty lines were often based on the particular relationship between the higher-level administrators and the department chairmen, rather than something “more stable and steady.” Significantly, this charge of a “capricious” decision process came from those who had milked the system to their advantage as well as from those who had bpen victimized. Cohen remarked, “If a person is in good, or has a good personal relationship, you get certain things out of it. We got this from both sides, good and bed.” The committee illuminated a concern for “the abscence of trust” in the process of allocating lines, including from some charges lower level administrators that Hayes Hall (at the time the home of the administration) had become “insular.” One referred to a “vast gulf that separates the higher administration from the faculty” while anothet more reservedly stated that there is “too great a separation of teaching and administrative functions.” — involvement. .'—public budgetary information, stated published on an annual basis for a better understanding of where de facto funding priorities lie. a clear explanation of the administrative structure that would allow lower ranking officials and the ftculty a better understanding of “who does _ what?" -publicly stated ground rules for budgetary information flowing from each unit to create a more openand consistent approach across disciplines. Evaluation of administrative functions at this University is viewed as “inadequate.” The committee felt that since the gauging of faculty performance is an accepted and consistently followed practice, some system of on-going evaluation of administrators would seem equitable. ' Mxed reactions Upon completion, the report was presented to the Faculty Senate, where reaction was “mixed,” according to Cohen. He said that some senators felt the committee’s observations were too general and that some administrative action should have been called for. The committee’s only formal recommendations were that the report be forwarded for discussion among administrative officers and that a continuing committee be established to "review administrative performance. Both Were passed, although as previsously stated the continuing committee was never set up. When the report was sent along to the administration, Cohen, the Committee chairman, and committee member Mike Milstein were invited to discuss -the study with high ranking officials, including President Ketter. Cohen and Milstein were encouraged by the administration’s response to the - — report. 1 “1 was most impressed by the openness of the President to really listen,” said Milstein. "When we left the room we felt he thought the report was beneficial and that he was going to deal with it appropriately.” Reichert felt the report “should weigh heavily” iwith the administration. “I think it was a good W thing did,” he continued. “Faculty is constantly being evaluated for tenure and position.” Milstein stressed that the major purpose of the The committee suggested the following: report was to afford the faculty a better -the public emergence o( a broad academic understanding of the administrative process. “My plan, conceived with appropriate faculty personal objective was to make the faculty aware of representation. and to get the faculty involved in the governance of -publicly stated allocation criteria and its own institution,” he said. “Secondary to the hope expectations, including identification of the relative was that that information would lead to weighting the adminstration gives to various factors, administrative action. r Again, the committee urged appropriate faculty “We did not insist that any action be taken.” * � * � ‘ �Support services for the handicapped ‘'jazhr-J* • '• • ' * - ■ various support services are available to assist “Service* for the Handicapped students who have a medical and/or physical handicap experience as full and as successful a college life as possible.

Only building seven will remain residential. Forty of the 86 beds in building seven are presently being occupied. Bedspace in buildings four and five, totalling 136 places, is at this time being used to full capacity. Though no lack of on-campus housing currently exists, the annual increase in demand for space will cause future problems for students wishing to live in the dormitories. The move of the Anthropology Department into Spaulding Quad will result in a net loss of 90 beds, according to Director of Housing Madison Boyce. “We will have more students requesting bedspace than we have available as buildings four and five become academic,” he said. “Thus an inconvience to students will be caused.” Housing need increase Boyce contended that the problem is unavoidable, saying, “There is nothing we can do. The Office of Facilities Planning and that of Dr. Ketter tell Housing what to do. We are told what space is available and then we house students.” The number of students seeking to be housed on campus next September is not yet known. “Admissions and Records can not tell us yet how mgny students will need housing because at this stage the figures are still wishy-washy," Boyce continued. The past four years have seen an increase in students needing housing and the trend is expected to continue. Thus, it can be anticipated aht the accommodation of a certain number of students will be a problem come next September. The only people who get hurt are those who make contact with Housing too late in the summer, according to Boyce. These particular students either get accepted to the University in the latter part of the summer or simply make late contact with Housing and are unable to be accomodated. Those students who are accepted at the University late in the summer are put on a waiting list, if no housing space exists for them. “These students can sit tight and hope that Housing will have enough ‘no shows’ to accomodate them,” siad Boyce, “or can look for off-campus housing.” (No shows are those students who pay deposit on rooms and do not show up to claim them. When it is confirmed that they will not show, the Housing Office immediately fills their rooms.) Approved by IRC i Students still seeking space in September will be placed on a temporary basis in rooms already filled beyond capacity until all “no shows” have been tabulated, explained Boyce. At that time, students will be switched into other rooms. This plan has been approved by Inter Residence Council (IRC). President of IRC Daniel Kinley stated that he was forced to approve this plan because of Dr. Ketter’s decision to move the Anthropology Department into Spaulding. According to Kinley, a dorm forum will be held on Thursday at which Madison Boyce is expected to appear. All housing gripes will be discussed there and a petition will be passed around, “to let the University know we don’t like what they’re doing,” Kinley stated. Temporary tripling of double rooms and the like will work differently than it has in the past, according to Kinley. Students will know, before they sign up for a particular room, which rooms will be filled beyond capacity. Depending on lottery numbers, students may or may not end up in overloaded living space. This would quite obviously have the greatest effect on freshman students, who do not participate in the lottery. Relocation of departments This projected loss of housing space stems from the vacating of the Ridge Lea Campus. Mandatory budget cutbacks are forcing the University to plan for the phase out of all space being leased at Ridge Lea. “The University has no choice but to consider relocation of departments now housed at that Campus,” said Assistant to the Vice President for Faiclities Planning Albert Dahlberg. The decision to relocate Ridge Lea was made by SUNY officials in Albany when they visited this University in November, 1976. Which departments were going to be relocated and to where was decided after examining many factors, including time frame, the buildings to be accepted back by the landlord of the Ridge Lea property, and the cost of renovating space for different departments. Those departments able to be relocated most quickly were Sociology and Political Science, both of which were placed in Spaulding Quad. The landlord of the Ridge Lea property would accept back only those buildings he believed could be rented out again most easily. The University could not afford to give him back all of the buildings he wanted because of the renovation costs involved in relocating certain departments. Questionable scheduling The Psychology Department, for example, required special facilities which are particularly expensive to develop. To move this department out of Ridge Lea the University would have been forced to hire an outside staff of contractors, which it could do at that time. At some future time the Psychology Department will be moved to the Main Street Campus. Since problems would be met in moving certain departments out of Ridge Lea, the landlord agreed to take back those buildings which could be vacated not afford to most quickly. Plans are being made to move all departments from the Ridge Lea Campus by August, 1982 “Since a lack of funds for renovation exists, it is not known whether the University can adhere to this schedule,” said Dahlberg. “The matter of moving academic departments to the Ellicott Complex is not a new issue,” he continued. “It has been in the planning for a long time and the University knew that housing would be affected.” has “Housing been involved from the beginning,” sard Dahlberg, “since officials were present at the meetings where these decisions were being made. It’s not that they weren’t aware. They were. They knew this over a year ago.” Vice President for Finance and Management Leonard Snyder was not available for comment, nor was Assistant Vice President and Controller of Finance and Management William Baumer. Dahlberg explained that it is hard to predict how long the situation of using dormitory space for housing academic departments will exist. “There is no intention of leaving the departments there on a permanent basis,” he said. “It is only a temporary kind of arrangement.” -— * Carvaval!

Students still waiting for last term’s grades by Gary Cutenstein Spectrum Staff Writer Approximately 2000 students have yet to receive grade reports from last semester because faculty have been delinquent in submitting grades to Admissions and Records (A&R), according to Assistant Director of Records Cardlyn Haensly. AAR has sent a list of University instructors who have failed to submit student grades from last semester to Assistant to the Present Ronald Stein. The several page list includes the names, courses and the number of students affected. “This is a serious and major problem. That is why President Ketter requested the list from Admissions and Records,” said Stein. As of January 31, seven percent of the students still had incomplete transcripts, though the date for handing in grades was December 28, Instructors are given four days from the last day of finals to send their grades to AAR The grades are then processed overnight and sent to students. Only 1500 grade reports were sent to students by the targeted mailing date. All grades for a student must be in before a report can be processed. It took until January 13 for the majority of grades to be mailed, more than two weeks after the official deadline, according to Haensly. “On January 23, all grade reports, finished or not, are forced out of the computer and mailed,” she said. Faculty Senate Chairman Jonathan Reichert called the situation “inexcusable.” Teachers should have a contractual and moral obligation to get grades in on time. The chairmen of departments should put pressure on faculty to see that this problem is alleviated, Reichert said. “I have no sympathy for faculty who have not met with the deadline; they have plenty of time for grades.” Student Association (SA) officials complained about the late grades in a meeting with Ketter. “As it stands now, SA’s position is that “we will take as much and as harsh action as possible against professors who hand in late grades,” said SA President Dennis Delia. “SA has requested that merit money be held back.” Merity money, according to Reichert, is a pool of money given to faculty for outstanding work, but there isn’t much and not many people are given it. It isn't a good lever because it is possible that the people who aren’t handing grades in on time wouldn’t receive money anyway,” Reichert said. Delia is considering bringing before the SA Executive Committee the possibility of turning in late grades. Reichert is concerned about pointing fingers at innocent instructors that are on the list due to bureaucratic faults. “1 would not object to seeing a list that was carefully checked, published. Public embarrassment is a start,” said Reichert, who would not provide The Spectrum with a copy of the list. Although SA does not have access to the list, Director of Academic Affairs Bob Sinkewicz said, “Such a list should be made public on the students’ behalf in order to eliminate this chronic problem of late grade reports.” “Only one person in our department had that problem and the issue has now been resolved,” said Dean of the School of Management Joseph Alluto. Alluto excused the professor, saying, “Class sizes are too large to give essays. This professor decided to give essays and take the time he felt it requires to grade them. A&R found this excuse unacceptable.” Any students who have problems with grades should see the staff at A&R Wednesday, 8 February 1978 The Spectrum . .

A telephone system that went into effect in 197S resulted in FSA paying its own bills. “The phone maintenance service has become more sophisticated and FSA has been paying these bills more precisely,’* Synder said.

For example, says Hosie, “I had the Student Club, Norton Spine, Crofts Service Center, and Squire Cafeteria open over Christmas.” a period in which Food Service lost money on ail. of those operations. Snyder predicted that the possibility of utility costs would be “the straw that breaks the camel’s back." It would plunge the minimal profit margin of Food Service into a deficit of approximately S55.000, according to Hosie. The threatened State action on utilities' payments is still just a threat. Doty said, “We don’t anticipate that FSA will have to pay for its utilities in the upcoming fiscal year" while Hosie maintained that the decision would not be known until April. In any case, the decision rests with the State Department of Audit and Control. Division of the Budget. If the threat becomes a fact, according to Doty, “prices would have to be adjusted upward." Bozek believed that the school Utility threat might have to return to some type The biggest expense for Food of mandatory board contract Service, however, would come system. This University has not from paying its own utilities. had a mandatory system of any According to Snyder, FSA’s sort for 11 years.

This estimate is based on “a general rule of thumb of SI for every foot of space occupied,” to Food Service according Director Donald Hosie. Uosie believes that the design of the Amherst facilities is partly to blame for the high estimate. “You’re paying for atmosphere at R/T Motor Coach Tour Amherst,” he students.” According to Hosie, the FSA Board would have to make the decision to go back to a mandatory program. Stony Brook, which changed its policy this year, is the only other school that does not have a mandatory program of some sort. Both Hosie and Bozek volunteered a suggestion that, if it were decided to go back to a mandatory contract system, might make the pill easier for the student population to swallow. That would be a system similar to that of Buffalo State College, an “option” program in which students are only required to spend a certain amount of money at Food Service operation. Closing operations Another possibility, said Hosie, is that he might be forced to close some of his operations. If forced to pay for utilities, he “might be encouraged to move out of certain eating areas" lowering utility costs, and consequently, causing some crowding. At the' moment, the Food Service operation is not in such bad shape. Hosie hopes that Food Service will come close to last year's surplus. He said that a “S35 40.000” surplus is hoped for. although a S65.000 surplus was projected in the original budget. Food Service’s goal was to attract 1700 second-semester board contracts, and it has already exceeded that figure, with 1739 at latest count. However, income for this semester will fall short of because expectations many students are opting for the new five-meal plan, which costs SI 10 less than any previous plan. Hosie expects that profits from cash-line sales will balance out this loss of income. He pointed out that people paying cash are not “subsidizing” the board contract students, even though they are • concluded. • Amherst, and Ellicott in particular, is laid out with a number of smaller dining rooms, each with its own equipment.

Nevertheless, NYPIRG and IRCB disagree on how the recycling program should be implemented. NYPIRG lobbyist for Mandatory Deposit Legislation, Larry Schillinger proposed a plan for stamping cans to identify them as returnables. A five cent deposit would be added to the current soft drink price of 30 cents which would be refunded when the can is returned to an IRCB store. Schillinger said that the returned cans would be crushed, stored, and then sold to an aluminum recycling company such as RJ. Reynolds. “The savings would be threefold,” said Schillinger, “First, the University litter problem would be somewhat alleviated. Second, a valuable resource would be recycled. Finally, the money IRCB would receive for the aluminum could be used to hold down prices.” IRCB Business Manager Harvey Reiss called for a voluntary recycling program. “Outside each store would be one or two barrels where students would voluntarily deposit their cans,” said Reiss. “An organization such as NYP1RG or CAC could contract a company such as R.J. Reynolds to cart the cans away.” Storage problems Reiss claimed there would be a problem of storing the returned cans. “No one would clean the cans, and when stored, the sugar at the bottom would attract ants and roaches.” Frequent pick-ups would be necessary to relieve the stotage problem, according to Reiss. Large scale student response would therefore be required to make pick-ups economical. Other problems, such as the revision of accounting procedures, long lines to return cans which would interrupt business, and competition with Food Service machines which charge only 30 cents, would probably occur according to Reiss. “This would hurt the sales of our largest selling item,” he said. Nevertheless, Reiss asserted, that the idea of instituting a deposit on cans is viable and the problems could be worked out. Schillinger maintained that a recycling program is not a final solution. He said he is sympathetic to IRCB’s claim of lack of space to store returnable bottles. Therefore, he said the University administration, and in particular, the Office of Facilities and Planning should be urged to provide IRCB with needed storage space. “In the meantime, NYPIRG has offered a very viable solution to the solid waste and litter problem,” Schillinger said. “IRCB has the responsibility to the students and the community to investigate the feasibility of the plan, and not to do so is a flagrant disregard for the concerns of the students and the community Nursing mothers beware Chocolate has its hazards A recent study conducted by the School of Pharmacy here has revealed that chocolate may cause dangerous side effects in nursing mothers’ milk. The research data was gathered by doctors Beth H. Resman, H. Peter Blumenthal and William J. Jusko and was reported in the Journal of Pediatrics. The study focused on the presence of theobromine in the breast milk of nursing mothers. The research required six local nursing mothers to avoid caffeine for one day before the study while fasting the night before. The day of the study, the women consumed four ounces of milk chocolate. Subsequently, their blood, saliva, and breast milk were tested at set intervals. Theobromine, which has the same effect as caffeine, acts as a stimulant to the centra) nervous system and heart muscle. This chemical, which is abundant in chocolate may be responsible for problems such as diarrhea, constipation, eczema and irritability in the infants of nursing mothers, the study reported. Higher risk Jusko, who is Professor of Pharmaceutics at this University and the principal investigator for this study, reported that a higher risk of illness to infants is likely when mothers consume large amounts of chocolate. “It’s only those women who eat excessive quantities or eat chocolate consistently over a long period of time where the body accumulates theobromine, that side effects are likely to occur with nursing,” he said. Some infants were found to be more sensitive to theobromine than others. Also, women who eat large doses of chocolate during a three-hour time span create a build-up of the chemical in their bodies and in their breast milk. Jusko added, “The study was not entirely conclusive due to ethical and other restrictions involving the direct experimentation of infants.” Jusko estimated that about one percent of the chocolate consumed by the mother pass through to her infant. Because theobromine is similar to caffeine and theophylline, which are metabolized slowly m an infant, “even a small percentage passed on to an infant could cause previously cited problems, especially if the mother ate a large amount of chocolate and the child was particularly sensitive to theobromine,” Jusko added.

With this sobering characterization of tobacco addiction, Joseph Califano, Secretary of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) has christened a $23 million media-intensive campaign against smoking. Califano, himself a former smoker, will oversee a four-headed program, whose main thrust will be the dissemination of the overshelming scientific evidence against smoking. This new campaign will dwarf the government’s Atlanta-based clearinghouse program which distributes information on the dangers of smoking, and was funded at $1 million. The first and most important aspect of the program is education. Although the percentage of men who smoke has decreased from over 50% in 1964 to 39% today, the percentage of female teenage smokers has almost doubled. On the west coast, one out of every five 12 year olds smoke. As the world’s largest consumer of tobacco products, Americans last year purchased 626 billion cigarettes. Smoking has become a major source of illness and disease in this country. Last year smoking was seen as the primary factor in 220,000 deaths from heart disease; 78,000 lung cancer deaths; 22,000 deaths from other forms of cancer, including a doubled rate of bladder cancers ki«nokers; and 85% of the deaths from bronchitis,emphysema and other' respiratory ailments. These facts provided by the Medical establishment represent only a few pages from the scientific deathbook concerning smoking. TV cooperation Although the last 14 years have seen an increase in public awareness about the dangers of smoking, the public has clearly remained indifferent. This is why the main thrust of HEWs program will focus on education, specifically directed toward those who haven’t taken up the smoking habit. Secretary Califano plans to ask the chairmen of television’s major networks to increase their anti-smoking propaganda. Additionally, he will urge the chief school officers in all 50 states to develop comprehensive health education programs dealing with the dangers of smoking. Increased funding for studies to determine the motivation behind teenage smoking have been allocated. New materials and techniques are to be disbursed to aid those who wish to kick the habit. Finally, all other types of media will be employed to try and keep Americans, especially youths, from smoking. J Pizza isn’t really fattening only the crust is.

Together with the Federal Trade Commission, HEW will consider recommendations to strengthen warnings on cigarette packages and advertising. Included in the advertising would be warnings to individuals for whom smoking poses an even greater danger such as women who take the Pill. Medical records indicate that these women risk a greater chance of heart attacks if they smoke. The third portion of the program deals with monetary incentives, to kick the habit, including; a general increase in the Federal exise tax on cigarettes which has remained at 8 cents since 1951. a higher tax on cigarettes that have higher levels of tar and nicotine. increased rates of health, fire and life insurance premiums for smokers as opposed to discounts for non-smokers. The fourth part of the program consists of expanded, comprehensive research into the already vast compendium on smoking and health. But can HEW’s endeavors succeed? The program currently sidesteps the Department of Agriculture’s $80 million in yearly subsidies to tobacco farmers. Meanwhile, legislators from such states as Kentucky and North Carolina have reacted hostily to the program because a large portion of their state’s economy hinges on the tobacco crop. However, HEW claims to be more concerned with the physical health of the population than the economic well being of the tobacco industry. 1 green pepper, sliced 1 clove garlic, shopped finely 1 teaspoon oregano, basil 1 teaspoon salt other spices Vi teaspoon pepper cut-up olives 1 cup tomato sauce or canned tomatoes pepperoni in a full conceit performance of Tschaikovsky, Bartok, Beethoven at special low ticket prices!

Wednesday, 8 February 1978 The Spectrum Page seven . . �ITORIAL so© • • • (SA) President Dennis Delia and dove into the bureaucratic ocean of Albany on Friday,. they hoped to gain commitments from legislative officials vis-a-vis construction funds for the Amherst Campus, to impress upon them the plethora of problems that have beset this University due to the split in campuses, and, at the very least, to do some eye opening concerning the general state of this "University'on Wheels." And when the junket was completed, indeed some eyes had been opened and some insight gained as to why the once heralded "Berekley of the East" remains almost barren. Those eyes however, happen to be our own. One meeting with top officials from the Division of the Budget (DOB), the fiscal arm of the Executive Branch of the State most responsible for withholding State University construction funds, revealed the total lack of understanding and concern that they have for students In general and this University in particular. Top DOB representative Paul Villette explained that he couldn'tunderstand how students here could want buildings and not expect tuition hikes. Said Villette: "You can't have ybur cake and eat it too." Cake? Amherst remains GO percent incomplete, the split between campuses necessitates endless busing, student groups are isolated, departments are threatened with losses of accredidation and when a respected, independent committee of scholars pointed to a "deterioration of University life'' here, the Administration cited the split campuses as the primary cause. Pleas to the State University Construction Fund (SUCF) heads were equally frustrating. Delia charged that the politically appointed architect Robert Coles, who designed Phase I of the Amherst gym, was personally responsible for the delays in construction of the project because he was far behind schedule. Yes, SUCF officials admitted. Coles missed his deadline, yes his performance is below average, and yes he ha prime candidate for the task of designing Phase II. Disregard for students and incompetence of this sort are the primary factors involved in failing to get the campus built. The local construction industry, legislators and members of the University community must join in the fight to complete the campus. Until then, the Administration must stop making fim commitments to move student groups and academic departments out of Main St. Campus buildings based on the assumption that space will soon be made available at Amherst. That space it years, if not detades away. The Year of Amherst is no more.

I realize that it’s currently extremely popular to attack the whole military structure, but too many people have sacrificed not to answer for them. First of all, I’m not one of those impassioned “Go America” heroes who lives in Hollywood movies, but I also don’t believe in ignoring my problems, and hope they go away. I also pray for peace, but considering the track record of our major concerning threat (Finland 1939, Hungary 1956, Czechoslovakia 1968 . , .) 1 take no comfort in promises. After every military action the United States has been in the public cry for budget cuts has forced reduction of our armed forces down to a negligible level. Then when the next threat came along, America depended on the actions of a few, while the country re-armed at a frantic pace. Unfortunately, the U.S. no longer has the time for re-arming due to the technological advances in today's weapons. This means constant alertness and continued weapon superiority as our insurance for the future. Daniel J. Holder Drunken seige partying To the Editor.

The consequences are obvious Mark Sarlittu Vico College - - — - - - - �FEEDBACK Abortion and Western Tradition To the Editor. The accuracy of Susan Gray’s historical review of abortion is to be challenged on several points. But first of all, her assumption that abortion is a proper means of population control must be protested! This is barbarian. Yet she informs us at the outset that, “Greek and Roman city states, the bases of Western civilization, employed abortion as part of an effective population policy.” As a means of population control the most that can be said for abortion is that it is effective. Now to correct the history. 1. I would like to see documentation that Greece and Rome had anything like a “population policy” of which abortion was a part Abortion then was a matter not of social policy, but of individual decision often influenced by poverty, though Seneca tells of women who aborted to keep their beauty. Under the Antonine emperors though it became social policy to curb population loss due to abortion. No mention of abortion in the classical 2. world is complete without reference to the oath of Hippocrates which forbids physicians to induce it. Our Supreme Court has dismissed the oath as a piece of 4th century B.C. stoic philosophy and thus not of universal validity. Our law though owes much to the Stoic natural rights tradition that the justices would not begin to declare is relative. Stoic and Christian influence won for the slaves of Rome the right first to a legal name, then to legal marriage, and finally to personal property. 3. Jerusalem as well as Athens and Rome is a base of Western civilization and the major source of our pro-life ethic. That the Mosaic law does not only mention abortion a massive reflects presumption for life the celebration of life. God is said to be no more able to forget Israel than a woman can forget a child in her womb, and even if she forgets, God will not forget. Childlessness was a great sorrow and as consolation the names of those who died childless were inscribed on the temple wall to assure them memory. This removed some a woman’s temptation to commit adultery in order to have a child. 4. “Up until the mid-nineteenth century , . . the Church held a rather loose view of abortion,” Gray tells us. Part of the pro-abortionists’ campaign has been an attempt to confuse Christians and Catholics in particular by claiming that the values they are taught are of fairly recent origin. Christian teaching forbidding abortion is found as far Ijgck as the DiJache, a collection of church discipline for the instruction of converts that is dated variously as being contemporaneous with the gospels of the first century or is placed into the second. At any rate it is a gathering of earlier teaching and so reflects church belief in apostolic times. Early church discipline of abortion was not “loose” but far more severe than modern discipline. The first record of penalties we have date from the early fourth century both in the East and in the West. But the Council of Ancyra in 314 indicates earlier laws when it reduces the former penalty of exclusion from church for life. 5. As part of this campaign much is made of the belief of many of the early Fathers that the fetus - is not ensouled until 40 days after conception for males and 80 days for femalei. In this they were following Aristotle, the leading scientific authority. Some of the Fathers did not take this view, however, believing rather in ensoulment from conception. (Those who still followed Aristotle came to believe that ensoulment for both sexes came 40 days after conception.) But whether they held for “immediate” or “mediate animation,” the Fathers are explicitly at one in the judgement that abortion at any point is a grave sin. The Church did not suddenly “introduce” the concept of immediate ensoulment in a mid-nineteenth century “panic” as Gray would have it. It has been a growing consensus for centuries, one bolstered by the findings of modem science. The Church has never formally pronounced on when ensoulment occurs. But church law requires members to baptize fetuses miscarried at any point in pregnancy. While the grave sinfulness of abortion at any point has been the constant teaching of the Church, from 1588 the teaching has been underlined with a penalty of immediate excommunication of all who have an abortion or help one. procure Pro-abortionists, though, try to leave an impression that before this or that date abortion was permitted. There is a whole literature based on this intellectual dishonesty and therein no doubt are Gray’s sources. At present some theologians who try to justify the use of contraceptive and lUD’s (which means often work not only to contracept but to prevent implantation in the uteral wall after conception), and “morning after” pills are arguing - - that ensoulment occur at conception because of the frequency with which implantation fails to occur in nature But against this the high rates of infant mortality in former times are to be cited and there was never any question that infants have souls however precarious their lives. For the most profound expression of Church teaching we must turn to the Church’s prayer life, which is not meant to teach so much as to simply be the life of a Catholic. And here we see the Church celebrating the conception of Jesus on March 25 and cannot his birth nine months later, and the conception of Mary (who the Church teaches was from that moment saved before from the power of sin) on December 8 and her birth on September 8, and the conception of John the Baptizer on September 23 and his birth on June 24. These feasts are ancient in the East and in the West and any research into what the Church’s teaching on abortion is should be guided by the principle that, ‘The rule for prayer is the rule for faith.” Any review of the post-war history of 6. abortion in Japan should tell of the reaction to it. Saline injection abortions are now banned in Japan not so much for the burning and pain they cause the child, unfortunately as for the damage they do to the mother. Concern for psychological damage is Untitled To the Editor and the University Community On Friday, December 9th, 1977, Ms. Janet Rae, the Business Manager of The Spectrum was fired from her position. The circumstances surrounding her firing were introduced for discussion at the December 15th meeting of the Sub-Board 1 Board of Directors where Ms. Rae alleged that she was fired without due cause and without adequate explanation. At that meeting, Ms. Rae presented concrete information regarding her performance which at face value would seem to support her contention that she was unfairly discharged. If what she presented was accurate or there if are other mitigating circumstances behind her dismissal, we do not know because The Spectrum apparently did not feel that anyone had a right to know. In fact, it is Ms. Rae’s contention that not even she was informed as to the reason We condemn in the strongest possible terms The Spectrum's action in this matter. While we do not question their right to hire or fire their employees and in no way wish to question their autonomy as an organization, this was the only public forum at which the employee could have a hearing of her objection to have the reasons discussed. Yet editors Brett Kline and Jay Rosen, present at the - meeting, refused to do so. As The Spectrum's major subscriber, and as concerned representatives of the University’s student governments, we feel we are entitled in a matter of such importance where unfair practices are being claimed, to at the very least hear why The Spectrum took such an action, even if it is not within our jurisdiction to rule on it. Again, we reiterate that we do not question The Spectrum's authority in this matter, but we are appalled and offended at their refusal to openly discuss this matter and their stonewalling in imperial silence.

The eight baskets that once stood in the Bubble have only three survivors; the others remain fallen, and of no use to anyone. Three baskets for a student body of at least twenty thousand (that is, not counting the outdoor courts at Fllicott and Governor’s) is not too ludicrous. It is basically obscene, profane, and otherwise ludicrous. With this astronomical number of baskets, someone who wishes to indulge in a friendly game of basketball among those of his own caliber is out of luck, as the courts are irrefutably taken over by the talented and unnaturally tall. This past Friday (February 3), two of the baskets were taken by the Winter Carnival tournament, leaving one basket for Friday’s schedule of Open Recreation.

Joel Dinerstein / ' 'Hh V' Female Bubble trouble To the Editor Nice going U.B.! You’ve found a way to make the already inadequate athletic facilities of this school even more inadequate. You take the only athletic site on the Amherst Campus and throw out all the guys on Thursday night so that a couple of girls can have the whole Bubble to themselves. I’ve never seen more than tne girls who really wanted to use the Bubble at one time, and those who do seem to work in with the guys with no more problems than anyone else. Is this supposed to show fairness? Then kick out the girls once a week. Is this supposed to encourage girls to use the Bubble? I think those who really want to use the Bubble would and do go the other nights ot the week when there are guys there. The only thing this does is make the poorest excuse for an athletic facility in the state (including most high schools) even poorer and aggravates the Bubble’s regular users.

There is an apparent contradiction between my point of view and that of others quoted in The Spectrum 's “Blizzard Revisited” section. I described the social atmosphere as “every man for himself," whereas several observers stressed the solidarity and mutual aid efforts of Buffalonians. Both descriptions are correct if properly understood. During the blizzard there were countless good Samaritans. It is heartening to know that so many people were willing to help those in distress, sometimes even at the risk of their own lives. The death toll from the storm would have been far greater without the voluntary actions of ordinary citizens. But what I had in mind were instances of social irresponsibility in which the individual does not Boycott NFG when the people of the Buffalo area were suffering the hardships of an extremely harsh winter, NFG The following letter was sent to Mr. Gerald reaped enormous profits.

Murphy To the Editor: understand the harm he does. The families who rushed to the supermarket and bought as much food as they could carry did not see the latecomers who found the shelves empty of bread and milk. The bored teenager who made numerous lengthy telephone calls could not see the mother waiting frantically for a dial tone so that she could call her sick child’s doctor. The motorists-who drove into the city as soon as the driving ban was lifted did not intend to cripple the transportation system once but they did. The people who fraudulently again collected food stamps were not concerned that their actions would discredit the entire food stamp program. This is what I meant by “every man for himself.” I believe that such behavior can be prevented only by the efforts of leaders who are able to inspire public confidence. Buffalo lacked this kind of leadership during the Blizzard of ’77. - - Another kind Emily H Goodman Long distance of To the Editor To the Editor: This tittle ditty is in response to Richard Korman, the great American mystic, who felt it was so necessary to warn us, once again, of the dangers of marijuana (not to mention nailbiting). Rich has a lot to say, but almost all of it is inexcusable drivel. For instance, the first third of his Guest Opinion is devoted to supporting a “scientific" study which describes certain debilitating effects of marijuana. What Rich chooses to forget is the enormous wealth of meaningless scientific research done in this area. The fact that researchers are human and subject to human emotions makes it impossible for them to approach such an emotion-laden topic as marijuana use with any semblance of objectivity. Andrew Weil, in The Natural Mind presents some amusing and truly illustrative anedcotes to point out the subjectivity of scientists. Rich next goes on to describe the development of his own relationship with marijuana. I have no objection to this but must rather express my condolences for his loss of craziness, spontaneity, and life. 1 can only hope he regains them. What I do object to is Rich's contention that “continued use of drugs... is not an open road to intellectual advance." This attitude reflects the Western , fascination with intellection that closes our minds to the realization that there is any other kind of awareness. Marijuana can help us in our discovery of these other awarenesses which Western thought buries so effectively. After this Rich loses more and more touch with his subject. Drugs were not “popularized” but “rationalized” in the ’60’s by connecting them with Further, today’s exotic philosophies. trend represents the change from pragmatic treatment of marijuana; i.e. What is it good for? Society’s next step cih only be the answering of this question, which will be very interesting in light of the increasing popularity of Transcendental Meditation. Lastly. Rich exhibits a good deal of comirion ignorance. For one thing, cocaine is no more addicting than marijuana. Another instance of ignorance is his use of the word arbitrary, but a dictionary will do a more convincing job than I can. Finally, I must mention his statement that “once we are dependant on anything we are enslaved.” This can only be the product of an excruciatingly weak will (too much smoking eh. Rich) and can easily be extended to mean we are, enslaved by our loved ones (not to mention meals). How ridiculous. — Kevin Johnson In your recent article on phone costs, you neglected to mention a new discount plan available on long distance calls made within New York State Under DIAL-A-VISIT (the name of the plan) a customer pays $6.00 per month and receives $12.00 worth of calls made under the plan. After the $12.00 is exhausted the customer merely pays 50 percent of the normal cost of the call (based on the rate at the time the call is made). Essentially the discount is 50 percent on long distance calls made within the state and the customer saves as long as he makes more than $6.00 worth of in-state long distance calls each month. The plan is not in effect between 8 a.m,-5 p.m, on weekdays. Calls can be made with the discount at all other times. A customer will not receive a call by call breakdown of calls made under the plan on the monthly bill; but can get a complete breakdown for $1.50 (each time it is desired) by calling the business office after the bill is received. The Telephone Company has not gone out of its way to publicize this discount plan and most of their reps don’t know much about it. To sign up for the discount just call the telephone business office (at the number on your phone bill) and tell them you want Dial-A-Visit, It’s the only way to get phone calls wholesale.

Over the door to his office is a plaque with the word "Attendance” in white letters. Shaefer is the discipline officer in what, for the most part, represents a typical middle-class American secondary school. Schaefer’s job is now more important than ever due to recent increases in high school crime, violence and truancy. “My main concern is stopping the little things before they develop into something big; putting out the grass fires, the fights in the cafeteria, the class-skipping. We don’t want these things interferring with the basic educational process of a high school this size,” he explained. “You pick up where you left off the day before, and worry only about what confronts you on any given day.” Amherst is a high school with only three grades. The freshmen are schooled with seventh and eighth graders in a separate junior high. About 1300 students, mostly white, enjoy an “open campus” policy at Amherst, meaning that students may come and go as they please during their free periods. Family important Shaefer feels that most high schools are adequately staffed to handle the normal disciplinary procedures but points out one void. “We have no social worker here.

In the face of a reality which resembles that of Biafra, the military dictatorship refuses to meet the needs of the Chilean masses.

Conveniently located in Allentown is the main portion of the college’s off-campus housing. Although housing costs are significantly lower near Buffalo State then near this University. “There is, however, a vast number of students at Buff State moving back on campus," said Lecastre. “I guess with the security improvements that have been made they feel more secure here. 1 don’t think it has anything to do with the Larry Campbell murders though,” he added. Most wanted list Lecastre was referring to the 1976 slaying of two Buffalo State students and the subsequent two wounding of their housemates. Campbell, a former mental patient who had been a student at the college while on parole from the Attica State Correctional was Facility, captured last December in Atlanta, Georgia, after being placed on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list. Ironically, Buffalo State’s identity crisis worsened when The New York Times and Buffalo Evening News mistakenly reported that the murders had taken place at the State University of Buffalo. However the murders have led to increased security precautions on campus. Recently added to the force of regular security officers were resident security aides. These student volunteers are trained para-professionals who patrol the campus on foot, and are constantly on the lookout for possible trouble situations. “These guys are the eyes and ears of campus security,” one officer of Santana in Shea’s Buffalo Theater. Their tentative schedule includes such billing as Elvis Costello and “A Poetry Reading,” with Patti Smith. According to Lecastre, there seems to be a revival of past activites on campus. “The variety of social activities is changing,” he said. ‘This year marks the first appearance of a Homecoming Dance and Winter Weekend. It seems that the students no longer consider these types of activities as frivolous.” An apparent abundance of bars in and around the Buffalo State area has added to the school’s reputation as a social playgound. campus, Pub, The on is frequented mostly by stated. For a school its size, the institutionalized food at Buffalo State has a large selection. According to Manager of Campus Food Services Gary Vickers, “Variety is the best word to express the food service program. Students can choose from twelve operations. Being on the food service plan is mandatory at Buff State, so we try to offer a maximum variety to the student.” campus residents and male students from Wednesday, 8 February 1978 The Spectrum .

Is the delinquency problem in public high schools as bad as the media presents it to be? “Schools are the mirror of a society,” said Shaefer. “Things are not as bad as in the sixties, when large groups of high school kids were copying what went on in the colleges. On the other hand, everyone thought thai when Vietnam was ended, things would return to usual. But somehow, vandalism, alcoholism and drug abuse have risen.” Shaefer holds fast to his own basic philosophy on the root of present discipline troubles. “There’s over a 50 percent, divorce rate in our country, and the products of those families hit the public schools. 1 don’t see how the situation «an get any better unless American home life improves.” Shaefer firmly believes that the family is the single most important shaping factor of socialization, and that children are a product of the guidance they receive from their parents at home. Shaefer recognizes that a majority of students has experimented with pot. “I don’t know if the kids are daily users, weekend users, one-time users, or druggies,” he said. “I report to their parents, and many times they already know.” Shaefer went on to say that students occasionally experiment with LSD, valium and other dangerous drugs on school time. Alcohol abuse is a big problem at Amherst. When asked if he considered alcohol a drug, Schefer was quick to exclaim, “Absolutely! No doubt about it!’’ The problem appears to be that kids under 18, unable to frequent bars and discos, often turn to drinking on the streets at night and in their cars during school. “They’re a little bit bolder about it now,” Shaefer observed, referring to students he has confronted drunk on campus during school hours. “You jcan’t go around promoting alcohol for people 18 and on, and expect the 16 year-olds not to get ready for it. New York is a big bar state,” he noted. Vandalism has been a growing problem in our nation’s high schools. Shaefer couldn’t guess how much money was spent each year at Amherst repairing or replacing damaged property, but he did say thid: “It’s not just the money, it’s the time taken up in repairing these thing?. Vandalism is not only directed at the school, it’s directed at each other. They ruin one another’s clothing,” he said. “They are apt to wreck something after getting into someone else’s locker. And we spent almost $100 last year just replacing demolished lockers.” “In the sixties, students openly said that they were against the establishment,” he informed. “1 think it’s still part of the same thing. Now it’s just more underhanded and devious, not stated as it once was.” CruMng and getting high . .L. . Shaefer went back to the family concept as a possible cause of vandalism. “One of the most difficult and important jobs adults can have is the proper raising of a family. If they view that as a secondary or third role, they’re kidding themselves!” he commented. “And then they expect that the kids will ‘automatically’ learn that they should not vandalize, they should not take from each other, they should not drink or use drugs, and that they should not drink and drive an automobile. You cannot accomplish that with a health dass, a driver-education class, or a guidance counselor. It’s a naive approach. Let’s get back to basics!” Dass attendance problems plague Amherst. Shaefer said that while truancy for an entire day is mostly a thing of the past, skipping classes has replaced it qn a large scale. Many students view the high school as a social gathering. They will come to school, leaving their parents behind and often gaining the use of the family automobile in the process; then get together and spend the day cruising, drinking, getting high, or a combination of these. And there are always the “hang-outs” on the campus itself: the football stadium, the bridge out by the creek that runs by the front of the school, the cafeteria, and the crowded parking ■ lot. ; . ifi -continued (torn page H— . -so ' “All kids who drop out of high school skipped classes,” added Shaefer. “But not all kids that skipped classes drop out of high have finished this survey, please drop designated box located at the following - f Legal Sendees (340 Squire) office (345 Squire) Lounge, Squire Hall (W-F, KM) (next to 170 through campus mail to Legal Services Squire Hall, SUNYAB. ■ I* 'A ■ k •.. ” - Affairs Office (right near cafeteria in tmm Amherst has a special policy for someone who skips a class. “We trade them two for one ays Shaefer, referring to the policy of assigning a student two periods of detention “closed campus” for each class skipped.

Instead of re-installing the old boards, University officials opted for new backboards which could be easily removed in the event of a storm, thus preventing puncture damage. Although administrators promised that the new boards would be ready by the time classes started, students returned from vacation to ftyd only three of the old boards up. Basketball afficionados became increasingly angry and frustrated as time went on and they were forced to make do with much less than adequate facilities. The Director of the Physical Plant of the Amherst Campus blamed the delay on a lack of manpower in his department. He explained that the new boards had to be designed and built by maintenance that the they could only work on them as time permits.

The UB wrestling Bulls leashed the Bloomsburgh State Huskies (ranked sixth in the East) with a 25-16 victory at Clark Hall Saturday. The Husky pack is a Division 1 contender for the national top twenty rankings. Although coach Ed Michael wasn’t surprised by the win, it was especially gratifying in view of the performance of the lighter weights. Usually, the inexperienced light weights usually relie on the heavy weights to' pull out the wins, against Bloomsburgh, met with forminable opponents and still managed to establish a secure base of points for the heavy weights to build upon Bull Tom Jacoutot (118 pounds) began the domestication of the Huskies by cradling Mike Nock for a pin in five minutes and thirty-one seconds. Jacoutot had lost to Nock earlier in the season at the Wilkes Open. “Tom’s pin gave incentive to the team, especially to the lighter weights,” commented assistant coach Scott Stever. Guaranteed victory When Buffalo’s Bull Jeff Wheeler (190) decisioned the 1976 Division III National Champion Butch Snyder to pull the team score to 22-16, the Bulls could not lose. The best Bloomsburgh could bite out at that point was a tie, but then undefeated 11 -0-0 heavyweight Mel Sharp was dulled by Bull Paul Curka, whose decisioned win guaranteed Buffalo victory. In the first of UB’s losing matches, one of which was Tab Mak (142) superiorly decisioned 11-3 by junior Glenn Schneider. Anderson called Mak courageous “He exercised great determination. He shows tremendous potential,” he said. Tom Egan followed Mak at 150 pounds and decisioned by Bloomsburgh’s Tony Caravella, who stepped onto the mat with a 7-1-0 record. Husky Don DiGiocchino achieved the last three points for his team as Buffalo’s Dave Mitchell failed to disrupt DiGiocchino’s 6-0-0 record. Despite his loss, Mitchell viewed the match as successful. “It was a great team victory,” he stated. Off his back Freshman Mike Jacoutot (126 pounds) pulled out a tough draw from Husky senior Tom Fink by coming off his back after trailing 7-2. Buffalo’s Ed Tyrell (134) blemished Carl Poffs 4-0-0 record by collaring the Bloomsburgh junior with a 3-3 tie. Tyrell lost to Poff twice last year, once at a tournament and once in a dual meet at Bloomsburgh. After the Bulls lost the next two matches, they trailed 13-10, but again began to tally points at the 158 pound bout when All-American Honorable Mention Kirk Anderson pinned freshman Duane Powlus in two minutes and fifty-nine seconds.

This was the fencers’ first home match as a varsity team in two years. Fencing is broken down into three different events: sabre, foil and epee. In sabre, the target area is the opponent’s upper body, including the arms and head. This is a varry-over from when the sabre was the weapon of the horseman. In epee, the target area includes all of the opponent’s body. The epee is the largest and heaviest of the three weapons. In foil, the target area is the opponent’s torso, but the arms and head are not legal targets, as in the sabre. In both the foil and epee, the weapon is hooked up to an electrical device that lights up when a fencer strikes his opponent. The sabre event is wireless and requires four extra judges to determine the hits. From the first allez, the Bulls took command with Jon Solomon’s 5 to 0 victory over Dave Brooks. Then after a brief quarrel between team captains in the second match, the Bulls went on to win the next seven bouts. First time Rich Sherman, only a freshman and fencing for the first time, won all three of his bouts with little difficulty, never being touched more than twice. “They [Colgate] are not one of the better teams that we have fenced,” said Sherman, “although some of them were fairly impressive.” Glenn Miller, one of Buffalo’s three volunteer coaches, is impressed with the rookie. “He is very fast, has excellent hand-eye control and is very interested and dedicated to the sport.” Fellow coach Tom Bremmer commented, “Rich is proof that fencing is a sport where you can make varsity the first year you try out. The nationals are certainly in his future.” Buffalo’s Tim Rogers and Colgate captain Joe Silberlicht fought one of the most exciting matches. In overtime, with the score 4-4, the two wielding epees, darted, advanced, retreated, and parried for several minutes, each waiting for the other to make a mistake. Said Silberlicht, “1 waited. I saw his arm drifting to the left and tried to capitalize. I missed.” Said Rogers, “He lunged, and I parried away his sword. I hustled the sword back and hit him!” Sub stars The coup de grace belonged to Steve Kaplan, who was substituted for Solomon. In front of WGR’s television cameras, Kaplan waged a ferocious duel with his opponent, charging and swinging his way to a 4-3 lead. Then with twenty seconds left in the bout, Kaplan parried his opponent’s foil away and jabbed his right rib cage to clinch the match for the Bulls. With victory assured, the Bulls performance’s sagged, especially in the sabre event. Other than Chor Wong’s three victories, the Bulls could only muster one sabre win. After the match, Bremmer said, “It was too close. We should have beaten them by more. We fell apart after whipping them in the early-going.” All three coaches are unpaid; Miller is a med student and Bremmer is a law student. The third coach, Jules Goldstein, a fencer of forty-five years, still gives free lessons to those who want them. Said Bremmer, “I am really impressed with the talent on our team. I have little doubt that we will go undefeated this season.” Wednesday, 8 February 1978 The Spectrum Page fifteen . . �Basketball Royals doumedby Niagara INTRAMURALS With only three weeks left to go in the division, which is now affectionately called the in the intramural basketball schedule, the playoffs are very '“Combat Division."

Buffalo coach Bill Sanford was at first unsure of the outcome, since the Saxons beat the Bulls last season, but the Bulls had a real lively easy time. Buffalo now stands at 5-3, while Alfred is 0-5. The Bulls placed first in ten of the thirteen events, and took at least second and/or third place in the remaining three. Overall, Sanford was highly pleased with his team and their many exceptional performances. In the 400 medley relay, Jim Brenner, who last Wednesday set a school record in the individual medley, provided the relay team an early lead with his strong backstroke. Cesar Lopez, George Finelli, and Tim Westner maintained the lead so that the Bulls took the first event to lead 7 to 0. In the 1000 yard freestyle, freshman Tim Nash and sophomore Paul Glauber, both from Buffalo, battled all forty lengths of th6 event for first place. Nash, by coming in first with a time of 11 ;313, qualified for the New York State Championships. Glauber, who finished a close second, had previously qualified for the State Championships. In the next race, UB juniors Don Brocklhurst and Frank Buczek placed first and second respectively in the 50 yard freestyle to increase the score 29-5 in Buffalo’s favor. The UB track team finished fifth in a field of nine teams at the University of Rochester Relays last Saturday, in a meet that was typified by slow times. The meet, held at the University of Rochester fieldhouse, was marred by a bad fall. One turn of the track goes through a tunnel which is very dangerous. In the eight lap relay, an R.I.T. runner wiped out in the tunnel and a Fredonia runner tripped over him. The R.I.T. man never .finished the race. Buffalo finished third in that eveni. The Bulls were hurt in the race because of the lack of competition in the first heat. Buffalo’s anchorman Bob Reiss far outdistanced his opponents in the heat but his time was only good for a third place finish. In the second heat, Rochester and Fredonia had a tough battle and thus ran harder. UB was shut out of the overall competition before they even got off. the bus.

Again, Fredericks cited his inadequate workforce as the cause of the delay. The maintenance workers had more urgent repairs to take care of before they could return to the Bubble; it was a matter of priorities, according to Fredericks. When the situation occurs, again, Fredericks expects that it will again take two days to ressurect the boards, especially if there is damage to other Amherst buildings. Monkarsh defended the removal, naming the safeguarding of the Bubble as the number one priority. “This is all we’ve got for the next five years, so we have to take preventative measures,” he said. Students unsure of the shape of the hoops can call the Bubble office at 636-2393 or the Recreation office at 831-2926. | The track team is also having financial problems. The budget for both indoor and outdoor track is a meager $2000 and the bus rentals for all the meets will cost $ 1900. To ease their financial troubles, the track Bulls hope to organize a raffle. a meeting room in the Stars Niles, Fine Hi and Doran The Bulls took first again in the 200 yard individual medley, with junior Chuck Niles’ time of 2:13.77. Niles also placed first in the 100 yard freestyle. Sanford praised Niles’ performances, claiming he did a “heck of a job.” Buffalo also got an excellent performance from Finelli, who took the 200 yard butterfly in 2 07.5, 21.8 seconds and a whole pool length ahead of the nearest competitor. Buffalo’s Michael Doran again was successful, picking up first in the required diving. Doran was Athlete of the Week last week. Teammate Anthony Frasca was second in the required dive and then Frasca placed first with an excellent performance in the optional dive with a score of 179.20. Sanford, while proud of the achievements of the team, is looking ahead to future meets. The meet today at Fredonia should be a tougher test of the swimmers. “We beat them in the relay last year, but Alfred beat us last year, so>>he noted. “Fredonia beat us three years in a row at one point.” Bubble the pole vault.

One meeting will be held in each Councilmanic District. Next week, on February 14, 15 and 16, neighborhood groups will Be asked to return with their own proposals for spending the Block Grant money. The following week, on February 21,22 and 23, the Department of Community Development will return with its final draft of the CDBG application. The holiday weekend of Washington’s birthday leaves only one working day between the last meeting at which citizen proposals will be accepted, and the first “check back" meeting at which the City’s final application will be presented to citizens, Therefore, citizen proposals must be evaluated by the City and incorporated into its overall plan within that time. Fahey felt “it makes it for to impossible citizens Commissioner participate.’’ Donohue agreed that it is a tight schedule but said that it cannot be i. The City applied to HUD an extension ■; of the application deadline bat was turned down. There, are thbse citizens who think Commissioner Donohue has already decided how to spend the money and that the Griffin administration doesn’t care what they want. Indeed, Donohue doer have some strong ideas about how he wants to see the CDBG money spent . Donohue has the City’s - $22 million for 1978 earmarked this way $5 tnillion for economic for retaining development existing employers as well as attracting new ones.

Donohue criticized the Makowski administration’s Block Grant program as a “totally leaderless process” marked by among "little “squabbling” neighborhood groups.” He sees the need for a strong “overall plan” vowing to work with those people “who want to do things that fit into” that plan. Donohue doesn’t see an end to either, participation, citizen Rather, he intends- to have his own employees maintain contact directly with the citizens instead of through the community co-ordinators. During the Makowski administration, the co-ordinators enjoyed a high degree of political independence. Indeed, three of those co-ordinators Fahey, Pitts and Quider ran for Councilman, by party un-endorsed the organization, and won. One City Hall observer commented that a new Mayor would be foolish not to strip the co-ordinators of their power because they would be a Griffin upset many of the - — threat to his power. Human services cut Also of major concern to community groups is Griffin's intention to cut most funds for human services programs out of the application. CDBG Councilman Bakos feels one consequence of this move will be that “not-for-profit” Community Development Corporations (CDCs) will “wither and die.” New HUD regulations stipulate that all human services programs be operated only in support of physical development efforts. Educational, recreational, health and nutrition-related programs, and special programs for elderly persons such as shopping and transportation services are some of the activities implied by the term “human services prog^ups.” CDt’s and human services providers when he invoked the “boiler plate” clause of the between the Buffalo Information Center and the City. The “boiler plate” clause allows the City to cancel the contract on 30-days notice without giving a reason. Most human services agencies are funded through such contracts. One CDC officer expressed the fear of many: “(Griffin) will not have to say why, he will just say goodbye.” Commissioner of Human Resources David Echols has promised that the City will look for alternate sources of funding but has so far been unable to say specifically from where the come. One will money Councilman’s reaction to Echols assurances was a terse, “bullshit.” For now, the Counciimen regroup. Bakos, Councilman somewhat facetiously, expressed relief that the matter of the Block Grant had been taken largely out of his hands. But Fahey vowed, “we’re going to vote on it; and we’re going to: change it contract ” A Speakers Bureau 1216 >»■ Typing, Xeroxing, Printing, Dissertations, Resumes, Theses — the man F.

The topic is a genuine anachronism now, almost to the point of being boring. But this is hardly the time for such disinterest. With “Cutbacks!” becoming the rallying cry for governors, legislators, and other power-drunk bureaucrats, students should now, more than ever, be looking cautiously over their shoulders to see if it isn’t their backs being cut, or in the more severe cases, stabbed. This essay will present a description of the student power crisis, a detailing of its causes and a set of workable solutions, most of which could begin to be implemented tomorrow. e cr s s * * The huge advances made in Student Rights are always exil&an # summoned as proof positive of the success of that stpic period wearily known as the turbulent sixties at this University. With the fist-raisers of 1968-71 able to lay claim to such gains as the four course load, pass-fail grading, incorporation of fee-disbursing, the halting of Amherst Construction bee*use of alleged racism, and the Despite a number of convincing mirages, students at SUNY Buffalo do not hold unchecked power over anything .. . . . . banishing of the military from this campus, it can be fairly said that students here once carried a big stick, though they certainly were never accused of talking softly. Well, Woodstock is now more commonly known as a character in Peanuts and the times they have changed, to put it bluntly, students are victims of their own energy crisis. Each of this University’s 14,000 undergraduates is, in his own ignorant way, a power failure. Despite a number of convincing mirages, students at SUNY at Buffalo do not hold unchecked power over anything. The closest we come is in being allowed to control our activity fees, which, as far as concessions go, is roughly equivalent to being excused from the dinner table. The plain fact is that on most important issues students are all walking impotents with no more control over their destiny than cattle in a stockyard. What’s worse is that they neither know about nor care about their ineptitude. 1 have watched the Faculty Senate and its Chairman, Jonathan Reichert, virtually laugh in the faces of students who, one by one, stood up and babbled on about their opposition to the Senate’s four course load report. The report was then adopted almost unanimously, students hardly even qualifying as nuisances to its passage. The Faculty Student Association (FSA), which runs the Bookstore, vending machines, and Food Service, has continually raised prices while providing inconvenient The SpccT^UM Vol. 28, No. 53 —continued on Med School profiled Guns on campus Pellom breaks record page 9— Pg. 3 Pg.5 Pg. 13 Monday, 6 February 1978 State University of New York at Buffalo Amherst construction to stay dormant for years by John H. Reiss Managing Editor Buffalo’s Amherst ALBANY Campus, conceived as the crown jewel in the State University system, will receive only a trickling of state construction aid in the forseeable future and will remain functionally stagnant for at least five years. Top officials in the State Division of the Budget (DOB) and the State University Construction Fund (SUCF) delivered this news to sobering Student Association (SA) President Dennis Delia and Treasurer Neil Seiden in Albany Friday. Groundbreaking on only one project, a Civil Engineering Building, could conceiveably begin within ayear. Scheduled work on Phase I of the Amherst gym (a 10,000 seat field house), which has been riddled by construction delays and design foul-ups, has again been pushed back, this time until April 1979 at the earliest. Plans are ready for only two other projects, a Music and Chamber Ha)l and a Center, Communications for which the University is still awaiting appropriations from the Sate Legislature. Aside from these four projects, the remainder of the Amherst Campus exists only on paper, with virtually no commitment on the part of the Governor, the State Legislature or the DOB to make it a reality. No cake The DOB has consistently been fingered as the villian in Buffalo construction, refusing to release finds appropriated by the State Ladisiature. Paul ViBette, a top BOB official, explained that SONY already owes the State million in debt service for construction currently underway and claimed that until that money is received, no new construction endeavors can be pursued. He said that any further construction at this time would require additional tuititon increases for SUNY students. “The less money that’s available to the State University,” Villette said, “the less money available to programs. The more buildings you have, the more debX service you have. It all comes out of tuition.” Villette shocked Delia and Seiden when he told the SA executives, “I don’t understand you students. You want buildings but you don’t want tuition increases. You just can’t have your cake and eat it too.” Last June, Villette told Delia that the DOB could not release any funds until presented with a list of construction priorities for the Amherst Campus. Friday, when Delia came armed with that document, Villette, from his office in the Capital Building overlooking the State funded $6 billion Albany Mall, refused to make any commitment, saying, fiscally ‘‘We cannot be irresponsible.” Must have committment Oscar Lanford, SUCF Vice Chamcellor for Campus Development, explained that the problem with funding State University projects is tied to the financial collapse of New York City. He claimed the City’s problems have pulled the State into financial straits leading to a failing bond market. “Before there is any major construction effort,” he said, “there must be a commitment on the part of the public to buy bonds. Investors are shying away from anything labelled New York. The bond market is poor.” Lanford said the bond market in New York recently took a replied, “We recognize that you have a real need. But real need is not a determining factor.” When told about the troubles this University is experiencing with its operational budget specifically the $250,000 shortage in bus monies DOB official Joe Fernandez said, “Everybody’s got his problems.” He suggested that such problems could be — — ttafiwfe this University’s administration, and that the burden of correction lies here, and not with the State. However, the DOB executives did to the appear sympathetic day-to-day plight of students here, and indicated that aid might be forthcoming. Villette said he would to speak University Controller William Baumer and Vice President for Finance and Management Edward Doty to justify the need for an additional $250,000 in bus aid. Part of the 40 percent completed Amherst Campus Rea! need is not the determining factor drastic turn for the worse, making it virtually impossible for the State to sell Housing Finance Agency (HFA) bonds for the purposes of construction. He claimed that until recently the outlook had been bright. Said Lanford, “Six or eight weeks ago, I thought we would have sold $200 million in bonds by now. At this point 1 can’t tell you what’s going to happen.” Lanford said that the bond market is so poor, that even if DOB granted all Buffalo’s wishes, Amherst would still be bewitched with construction woes. He explained that in order for the campus to be built, the following must occur: the Legislature must appropriate the money, contracts must be made ready to advertise for sale, and most importantly, the bonds must be sold. Sympathetic appearance Delia and Seiden continually tried to impress upon DOB representatives the daily hardships that face students at this University. When they described the problems of busing, split student organizations, and living on a massive campus only 40 DOB percent complete, representative Seth Honeyman Delia and Seiden also met with James Ruhl, a top aide to State Senate Majority Leader Warren Anderson, who is eyeing the Governor’s Mansion, and Bob Hotz, an aide to Assembly Minority leader Perry Duryea who has already entered the race. Ruhl said that the SA officials’ demands were “very reasonable” and said he hoped that Anderson would be sympathetic to their cause. Hotz claimed he was congnizant of the University’s problems, having visited Amherst last fall, and called the State’s failure to complete Amherst “irrational.” Delia the emerged from meetings pessimistic about the future of Amherst but satisfied with the knowledge of “where we stand.” He claimed he and Seiden made meaningful gains: “The door that squeaks the loudest gets the most oil, and we did some squeaking. We have to continue to fight for those buildings.” �■- NFG: the right to keep warm unjustified harm. It is intolerable by Paul Maggiotta Special to The Spectrum 1977, On September 28, National Fuel Gas (NFG) shut off the gas to Howard Cunningham’s apartment after notifying the landlord for lack of payment of $97.03. January On 29 1978 Cunningham, or "Yogi” as he was known, was found near death in his frigid apartment. His body temperature was 80 degrees. He died that night in Meyer Memorial Hospital. He was 84 years old. That same day, Rachel L. Wallace was found dead in her apartment. She, too, had no gas, nor electricity or water. Ignatius (Iggy Giarabrone) ran the tavern where Yogi had his mail sent and cashed his monthly check of $257. He has been busy trying to find Yogi’s relatives. “I knew for about a month that the gas was turned off,” Giambrone said. “Some of the guys who worked across the street told me about it. You couldn’t mention it to Yogi, though, he was very touchy about the whole thing.” that life can be threatened for lack of payment of a financial debt. This brings to mind the ancient torture of debtors who were allowed to wither away in dark and chilly dungeons for being unable to pay unreasonable taxes on their income. Are we reverting to such an uncivilized state, that the dollar has gained more importance than a human lifer We. cannot excuse these deaths, because “it is the fault of the system” and no one is to blame. If the system is at fault, let us examine the system. At the core of this particular/ system we find the National Gas Corporation with a monopoly on providing heat and service to the Western New York area. It is intolerable for NFG or any other utility to consciously threaten the health and safety of its customers as a bill collecting device. Maybe Rachel Wallace could have paid her bill, but for Yogi Cunningham and many others in his position, it is an undue hardship. Inspecting further, we can see exactly how unfair this hardship is. Detective Sheridan of the Buffalo Homicide Department confirmed that it would take two to three weeks for toxicology Money for bonuses NFG has just completed its reports to determine the exact most profitable year in company cause of 72 year-old Rachel Wallace’s death. “She wasn't history and can expect record again this winter. letting anyone her revenues into apartment,” he said. “The gas Regardless of this, NFG was company shut off the gas granted a $6.7 million rate sometime before November.” increase on January 4 by the (October 3 to be exaict.) “Other irresponsible Public (and the word hesitantly) used Service than that there seemed to be no is Cominision (PSC). other foul play.” NFG On.

The Alliance has a list of ten demands it wants met by NFG, including a roll-back of the rate increase, plus a moratorium on all shutoffs.

Carter Pannill, has revealed that the Medical School has received its first warning from the Public Accrediting Bodies the American appointed by Medical Association and the American Association of Medical concerning its Colleges re-accreditation 1980.

Director of Academic Affairs, Bob Sinkewicz Friday was the first day to pick up election petitions at the SA Office. To become a bonafide candidate, a student must obtain a varying amount of signatures, depending on what office is being status would be granted. When asked if there were any In previous years, many slates of candidates were put up for each elected position. However, the majority of the petitions have historically been taken out after the first day. Lone party Currently, the lone party consists of Sinkewicz, Turner Robinson for Executive Vice President, Allen Clifford for Sub-Board 1, Inc. Vice President, Lori Pasternak for Student Affairs Director, and Stephanie Freund for Director of Activities and Services. Directory of Group Legal Services, David Braunstein, a veteran many campaigns, believes that the lack of candidates this year is rof the result of three factors. “First, students are concerned that they -will not receive The Spectrum’s endorsement," he commented. “Second, some students are fed up with student government, and third, some students are just apathetic.” SA Speakers Bureau Chairman, David Hartzband, offered another explanation. “This year, the SA Office is out of Talbert and no one comes by. When we were in Squire, new people came in ,to get involved all the time,” he observed. Other SA officials hesitated to discuss the matter.

The rule, recommended by the Academic Affairs Advisory Committee on Graduate and Teaching Assistant ships, states that all Graduate Assistants (GAs) and Teaching Assistants (TAs) receive a minimum stipend of $2,800 pet year, with no exceptions. GSA is also going to continue to push for student involvement formulation and in implementation of policies related to graduate student academic affairs, according to President R. Nagarajan. However, some former members of the Graduate Union Students Employees (OSEU) believe that the entire process Committee has accomplished “nothing,” and now graduate students are worse off than ever before. The Committee, set up last spring after a near strike by TAs an d G Ai, included recommendations for a $2,800 minimum stipend, a definitive affirmative action program, and the creation of a University-wide Standing Committee, to review University departmental and policies relative to assistants)tips, and to serve as a grievance committee. - , GSEU Chris Lubinski.

Working conditions for graduate students are worse than ever now, and students who have dependents are finding it impossible to get by on their stipends. Rawson added that teaching and graduate assistants at all the other university centers are making more than here. “I think they are getting about $4200 at Stony Brook.

The 4th Amendment entitles an individual to certain rights and is further one guarantee against invasion of privacy. For a police officer to conduct a search, he must have probable cause, a difficult term to define, but basically meaning just what it says. Furthermore, with some minor exceptions, a legal search can generally only be conducted under three conditions: (1) consent of the individual; (2) just prior to a lawful arrest, and (3) with a search warrant. so the problem generally encountered Okay is what to do if the officer comes to your door. If there is anything that can possibly be suggested, U is to keep calm. Try to be as cool and collected as — you can under the circumstances. Furthermore, it is probably in your best interests to be courteous to the officer. An officer cannot enter your home without a search warrant except under very special circumstances. If an officer does come, it might be advantage, upon the depending your to circumstances, to not let him into your home. If an officer comes to the door, he must (1) identify himself as police, (2) identify his purpose and (3) ask permission to enter (with the exception of a no-knock warrant even if he has a warrant). If he does not have a warrant, you do not have to let him in. If he does have a warrant, it is advisable for you to ask to see it. At this point, however, he can enter with or without your permission. If ever stopped by an officer, it is not in your best interests to be deceptive. You should answer reasonable questions, as for example, what’s your name? And such things as what are you doing here? But you do not have to answer specific questions relating to a crime. It is at this point that you should ask for an attorney. Probably, the best area to remember when dealing with officers is to be courteous. Your attitude could be your best asset or your greatest . liability. SASU pursues Health Fee boycott; claims success here The student boycott against mandatory $8.50 student fee has been very health successful, according to Student the Association of State University (SASU) delegate, Allen Clifford. SASA is asking students to sign cards pledging not to pay the fee. “Our biggest problem is not having much volunteer help to get the signatures,” Clifford said. “We’ve had to rely on Student (SA) Association people.” Clifford noted that some students are reluctant to sign the pledge cards because they are equating this $8.50 fee with the student health insurance fee. “The health fee will appear on everyone’s bill and has absolutely nothing to do with health insurance,” said Clifford. The protested fee was handed down by the SUNY Board of Trustees when it cut the SUNY health budget from $4.6 million to $2.3 million, requiring students to make up the difference. “They’re adding the $8.50 instead of doing something like raising tuition. The Board of Trustees instituted the f?e despite a 1963 mandate that health care would be included in tuition. “Mandates can be overidden and that’s exactly what happened,” Clifford said. the to stop. That is what the Board of Trustees want us to do, feeling it will all blow over. The students should not be making up the general deficit,” said Clifford. SASU is currently mailing out pledge cards with an explanation to all dormitory students. 'We will be on all food service lines soliciting signatures and urging people to write their assemblymen,” said Clifford. In March, there is going to be a legislative conference and SASU will be lobbying there against the health fee. “If we stick together on one issue, maybe we can win,” he added. Don’t worry that suggested Clifford not students need concern themselves with academic penalty for not paying the fee. ‘The Bursar’s Office at this University is fairly lenient. They will not give you a check stop if you balance is under $25. The only problem a student might have is not being able to have their transcripts sent out.” SUNY at Albany slowed down its campaign because it had reached a peak, obtaining 2,000 no major except 900 Brighton Rd.

The new TAP proposal will increase the maximum award Ellicott, Amherst police may take as a half hour to locate a specific area in the maze of interconnected buildings. This “time element” os of utmost concern to University Police. The officers also complained that University President Ketter, presently holding the final word oh the issue, is also inadequately informed about their responsibilities, and should therefore have little or no influence upon such a decision. Two plainclothesmen promoted the idea of an Albany commission as long composed of individuals knowlegeable of and experienced in University police work, who would be able to make a fair and realistic judgement in assessing the issue. Total indifference In response to SA President Dennis Delia’s proposal to hold a referendum concerning the arming of University Police, the officers expressed almost total indifference. Each officer believed that the students are totally unqualified to determine University policies regarding firearms since they have little conception of the duties involved in the position. IN any dangerous situation where University Police are called, the usual procedure is to request backup from either Buffalo or Amherst Police. This is a major pro-arming argument. Should an armed crime be reported in Properly prepared The officers believe that World Youth Festival Tours 1978 taxable income. The minimal increase in TAP funding for public college students has been “justified” by the increase in SUNY appropriations, according to University Comptroller William a decision allowing the University force to carry guns would have no effect upon the relationship between the department and the students, since many students presently assume that guns are being carried by all officers. Head of the Union of University Police Kurt Herman stated that 75 to 80 percent of the officers carry a gun when off-duty, and the training of each officer in the psychology and interpersonal relations involved in police work have more than adequately prepared them for the responsibilities involved. from $15,000 to $18,000 for private college students. The only substantial benefit for SUNY students will be a $70 increase in TAP awards for both lower and upper division students whose “net taxable balance” is between $2,750 and $8,000. Awards from the $229.5 million TAP program are scaled according to financial need with SUNY and CUNY students receiving much less than private college students who must bear greater tuition costs. The awards are based on each individual’s net Baumer. “It is obvious the Governor has tied them together. There is nothing in the TAP proposal for us,” said Baumer. Debt service Each year, approximately $250 million is received by SUNY as income, the majority of which is earned by the Upstate and Downstate Medical Centers. Of this $250 million, $100 million goes to the SUNY operating budget, and the remaining $150 million is assigned to cover the SUNY “debt service,” which goes to pay construction costs. Last year, approximately $108 million was used for cost. This year, the amount assigned to debt service has increased from $142 million to approximately $ 160 million. As a result, there is a $17 million discrepancy between last year’s and this year’s operating budget. Instead of hiking tuition, the state has absorbed the $17 million. explained Baumer that although the Governor’s TAP proposal aids the private college student, SUNY is in essence receiving an across-the-board tuition break. ‘The money would have had to come out of something,” he said. “It is obvious an alternative would have been for the Governor to insist that SUNY generate another $9 million in income and that would have required a tuition increase of approximately 6 percent.” Too expensive? “We think the Governor’s TAP proposal stinks,” said Student Association of the State University of Director Communications Sue Grossman. “Private colleges are too expensive and are not meeting the needs of students in the State. More than half of New York State residents go to public schools.” William Baumer, University Controller student. The Governor’s proposal includes the $25 SUNY College Fee as a tuition item for the purposes of computing TAP awards. Another change will grant the maximum TAP award to Assistant Secretary to the Governor for Education and the Arts, Henrik Dullea, explained that there are benefits for public college students in the Governor’s TAP proposal, although it was designed for the private college 'Those students having $2,750 or less in net taxable income and adjust the reduction schedule downward.” In 1978-79, Carey proposed $255.3 million in grant and scholarship aid to students. This consists of $235.7 million in TAP awards to 357,000 students and $19.6 million in scholarships to 71,000 students, representing an increase of $9.1 million from 1977-78.

Convention Center Building‘baptised’in October long-awaited The Buffalo Convention Center becomes a reality the first week of October, 1978, when the World of Christ-Interfaith Conference will “baptise the building,” said Center director, Glenne Amette'. The Grand Opening Exhibition will take place two weeks later, October 21, marking official christening of the facility. The $20 million Convention Center now under construction on the block bordered by Pearl, Court, Franklin, and West Mohawk Streets, is the key element in the rennaisance of downtown Buffalo. The Center is part of a plan to inject energy into the city get it economically moving again. Jobs will be created and additional tourist revenue tapped. The availability of the Center to the community will be bolstered by reduced rates for local groups and will encourage incrased participation in downtown activities on the part of area residents.

The same holds In his Guest Opinion letter, Clearwater extols true with close friends, male & female. To not be the virtues of polygamy. Much of what he says has intimate or sexual with them doesn’t negate at all what I can (and have) received from them. In other some validity and are points worth raising. My main objection is that the word love in words, love is an elusive word, not to be confused Clearwater’s letter is used in a nebulous way. He with intimacy or infatuation. I can, and do love seems to be equating love with sex, and that we will more than one person, but on different levels, broaden and raise our human experience by love because love is not an all encompassing word. Excluding the fact that mankind is by nature love through intimacy plus sex. This appears to be Clearwater’s major theme. Through polygamy, or in selfish, to overcome his selfishness in intimate essense more liberated sex, we will be able to relationships would probably mean a restructuring of broaden our horizons and ultimately be more society. Clearwater’s article brings out many valid points satisfied. I think that C'learwater has reached an obstacle which should be discussed and thought about, but I by using intimacy, love and sex in the same breath. don’t think the answer lies in an increase of sex and Monogamy does certainly limit us in certain ways, intimacy to broaden human experiences. It may, and but to say that through love, intimacy and sex we not having actively tried polygamy, 1 won’t criticize will expand our human experiences is a non-sequitor. out of my immediate knowledge. All 1 really wanted This partially lies in the fact that the word love itself to say was that I can “love” someone, and gain experience without Clearwater’s has personal definitions ad infinitum. I love my human parents and family without having either fallen in aforementioned sex. love with them or through incestual intimacy, yet Neal Horwitz To the Editor: Move At last, the news is official. The Amherst Campus so boldly and irresponsibly conceived as the sprawling University center of the future the biggest, the most impressive, the most decentralized, the most nouveau suburban, the most imposing construction project ever dreamed of by Rockefeller will remain indefinitely divided and conquered by ill-conceived plans, budgets hacked to pieces by sudden annual funding shortages, shifts in priorities for specific building projects and terminal delays in allocations. The permanent impermanence seems all very well rationalized by officials in Albay and unforeseen by officials here. - - — The face of the Amherst Campus will determine the faces and capabilities of every student and every academic department in the University. It has become the symbol of an academic heartland maligned by dislocation and permanent transition, a severe setback to those whose visions were so high and the dominant characteristic in the lifestyles of alt who must structure their time in spite of it It is time to wake up and make reasonable plans for a future that does not include any new permnent structures. The "Year of Amherst" was created to bolster the spirits of Ketter administration officials and of many student government officials who moved into the Capen-Talbert Hall Complex over the summer. If the former officials will not publicly admit that the move has impeded their effectiveness and perhaps it has not done so, but the frontier atmosphere has definitely isolated them then student government officials definitely feel isolated from and ignored by the student mainstream and know the move has gravely affected the dynamics of their operations. The move has diminished their physical presence and thus encroached upon their very credibility as student representatives. Witness the as yet uncontested upcoming SA elections. — - Students are the lowest priority on anyone's list of who is to be moved where. Such thing as a student union was never included in the original plans for Amherst and certainly not in the plans many times since revised. Space for clubs and organizations does not exist even on paper, though Squire Hall is supposedly to be turned over to the Dental School in two years (though no drilling Will be heard for' at least five). Now is the time for interim planning. The Undergraduate Student Association (SA), the Graduate Student Association (GSA), and Sub Board should never have moved to the Amherst Campus. ' Guest Opinio by Peter J. Ritchie This is in response to the Guest Opinion by (Mr.?) Gearwater which was recently published on love and sex in The Spectrum. (Mr.) Clearwater was very concise and clear in successfully illustrating and diagnosing many of the ills which plague individuals and couples in their relationships with each other. But the answer to these problems, I feel, does not lie in getting involved in transient aud shallow sexual relationships; rather, what is needed is for people to get involved much more deeply with all the people around them, male or female; in love relationships. And note that I have said love, not sex. Sex can exist without love, and it will still serve to satisfy “basic human needs” or desires. True love is a way of life, and a way of sharing, There are many, many depths of unexplored beauty in life which have never been uncovered by most individuals. The development of a true love life involves becoming at peace with oneself, with others, and with God, who in my opinion, is very interested in helping us develop ourselves to become a ‘total man’ or ‘total woman’; and also in freeing Us from the the real enemies of true love relationships) and developing a living the real enemies of ture love relationships) and developing a living character and nature of love that is so very uncommon to our world. A true lover is a radical. He has challenged the age old powers A tiu» lover is a radical. He has challenged the age old powers that have directed mercilessly adult men and womens’ lives from ages old. He is one who can reach out and embrace the world and its people, can absorb their sorrows, fears, resentments and hatreds, and offer love, real pure life giving love, and relationships among the common people in this community give life its satisfactions. In this realm of living, the individual is free to live, discover and explore. Always having the love and support of those around him. And if there is another who wishes to join him in an adventure, then they are friends that much closer an experience in living, a relationship that is much more satisfying. And when, a man and a woman, both unique individuals and deeply in love with living, come together in marriage, they join together physically, emotionally, and spiritually to share unselfishly a life together. They have not “fallen into love” as the songs so often say, but rather, have come together out of love, to grow in love, and life, more and more, together. Sexual intimacy has its deepest meaning — - and fulfillment in this type of commitment relationship. “Drink from your own well, my son Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth, fair as a hind, graceful as a fawn. Let her affection fill you at all times with delight, be infatuated always with her love.” Proverbs 5:15-19. - ... In our materialistic society where only “things” are important, this type of life and commitment to living is becoming unfamiliar.

On the amusing side of things, FSA is supposedly student controlled. In many departments, curriculum changes, degree requirements and course sequences are arranged with at best token student input. The system of tenure, which often grants miserable instructors lifetime employment, totally bypasses students. Thus, we have almost no • influence in the flavor and consistency of our education and no choice in who feeds it to us. While ihe nuances of dormitory life are left to the residents, ultimate control rests solely in the hands of the Housing Office. Squire Hall, the student union, is not controlled by students at all, but by regulation-bloated bureaucrats. Students hold no absolute powers, few real influences, and many, many illusions of control. The most compelling example is Student Activity Fees. Despite the realization that the ability to control our own money should not be a privilege to be “granted” but a basic right, we gloat over our student corporation, Sub-Board 1, as an innovative, unique and giant step forward for student rights. The truth is, when anything strays beyond a strictly student domain, student control of fees floats right away. When the vaunted Sub-Board I attempted to use fee money to provide students with free legal representation, the administration stepped in and issued an emphatic “No.” That rejection ought to resound through every dormitory, every apartment, every student union, and every classroom, with the sobering message that we, as students, are all just implements of the University. — - undependable. They do not show up for their own government’s meetings and are famous for missing University committee sessions. Administrators and faculty are consequently hesitant to put in writing that student representation on various decision-making bodies be required. The lack of responsible student representatives justifies in the minds of the University czars the ignoring of whatever meek protests are voiced. 4. Lack of continuity. Student Association administrations change each year. New, inexperienced, often ignorant students oppose the same seasoned administrators year after year. Priorities and directions change with each president. Projects with incubation periods of over nine months are difficult to complete. By the time the ropes are learned, it’s time to leave for law school. Political parties formed in January by some mindless formula (meant to insure victory) inevitably splinter the following November or December, due to personality conflicts. The generals argue and curse each other behind backs while the battle is annually being lost. 5. The State of the University. Undergraduate Education at SUNY at Buffalo is poorly defined, lacking in leadership and mired at the bottom of the University’s priority list. Few will argue with this. The clearly stated goal of this institution is to develop into a pre-eminent graduate and research center. Financial strain, legitimately traced to the tight fisted bureaucrats in Albany, is neatly used to explain any which cutback in service. When cutbacks are pondered undergraduates on whom to screw often means deciding are invariably first on the list. The split between campuses hampers communication, makes large scale organization difficult and generally contributes to a less cohesive student body. — The Sources of our Impotence — 1. Apathy. The pressures on students to obtain high grades, marketable skills, and the Big D (Diploma) leave little time for worrying about anything else, like fighting for an education. The hours leftover are spent escaping. There are no highly visible, easily understood, emotionally juiced issues for the masses to embrace. Vietnam and Racism had a very distinct right side and wrong side, and, as issues were nearly impossible to ignore. Eight years ago, the emotional spark and fiery activism of the anti-war movement ignited other issues whose resolutions produced real and measurable changes in the University. Times have changed. The huge block of marginal students, who before were lured into activism by the sweet morality of the anti-war movement, are now more likely to slay in the library and study. The hard core group of politically active students remains, but in fewer numbers, with less dedication and sights more set on law school than lasting change. Summoning mere interest for any issue, let alone support, has become virtually an impossible dream The solution Students have no absolute power an unarguable fact. However, this does not preclude students from wielding influence in some matters. There are administrators and faculty who will at least listen to student views when they are presented responsibly and realistically. In the past few years, students have made their greatest gains after successfully working within the University bureaucracy. By this I mean that when students have made impressive presentations on paper and at meetings, real results can be had, although it will always remain true that ultimately the administration will not hesitate to do as it pleases. The protest march is not a viable mechanism. Neither are lists of demands, tuition strikes or Capen Ifall. leaders. for student government takeovers.

Thus, as We are easily snowed with figures we cannot either representatives or aids, the consultants could comprehend, charts we cannot follow, established challenge the administration on established procedures, precedents we never heard of, meetings we are not past policies and budget matters.

Keep in mind that the consultants wtfuld . -<■. be advisors only. Besides assuring that each existing avenue of student influence is responsibly filled, the consultants would hopefully illuminate and resolve new issues. How? As problems, complaints and ideas filter up the SA organization from the various Directors and from the student body, a slate of projects can be agreed upon. The consultants would research each project, get all the facts, all the sides of the issue, gauge student opinion and produce a slickly prepared report containing all the necessary documentation, culminating in a set of reasonable and justified recommendations. The report would be formally presented to the appropriate administrative or faculty body, and pressure would be applied to embrace its proposals. If any hesitancy is seen in adopting the student proposals, the report would be released to the news media and a heavy pulic relations campaign would ensue in order to push the student point of view. Constant contact with other universities and with legislators would be maintained. If student demands are practical and impressively presented ' ' The concept of professional consultants gap, solves directly the knowledge continuity lack of irresponsibility and problems . . . . . . with facts, a stubborn University could easily be embarrassed into giving in. The consultant positions are tools to fi$it fire with fire. If this means risking a lapse into our own stifling bureaucracy, then that is a chance that must be taken. It is time for student rights to professionalize, even at the expense of idealism and sweet morality. One of the biggest advantages of the consultants is the permanence they would lend to Student Association. SA presidents will still come and go, but the professionals and all their knowledge and experience would remain. Battles for student rights could extend across different administrations, as the consultants would assure continuity and consistency from year to year. The consultants would be responsible for accurately determining where student interests lie. Through telephone polls and survey taking, they could truly “bring SA to the students.” Priorities could thus be tailored to what real student needs are. rather than towards some elected official’s guesses Student aids could be recruited here to help in opinion gauging. Independent study credit could serve as an inducement. The consultants would not spirit away power from any SA position. A close working relationship would have to be maintained between the consultants and the student leaders. This would hopefully be insured by a careful selection process. Where would the money come from? About $35,000 a year would be required. This can be obtained by raising the mandatory fee to its legal limit of $70 per student. Given inflation aid increases in fixed costs, some programs may have to be cut back. There is the possibility of all the student governments funding the consultants. The concept of professional consultants directly solves the Knowledge Gap, Irresponsibility and Lack of Continuity problems, (Numbers 2, 3 and 4.) If significant gains are made, the problems of apathy and disinterest can begin to be tackled. There is no reason why the 2) Other solutions higher positions in Student Association shouldn’t constitute a year of University education. Officers would thus not have their academic careers ruined by heavy involvement in student government. It is a legitimate educational experience and should be rewarded as such. This could be the consultants’ first project. SA should develop its own undergraduate course through tlie Dean of Undergraduate Education’s office which would grant credit to students willing to get involved. In general, SA needs to mature into a respectable student voice, firm in its stands but footed with facts and a realistic understanding of the University. This voice should be coupled with an effective public relations campaign to place added pressure on the administration. Continuity in priorities must be maintained from year to year. Additional student input must be actively sought Apathy cannot be continually used as an excuse. The political realities of 1978 must be recognized and dealt with accordingly. Students should not settle for illusions of control. Real power can no longer be demanded, mainly because the great majority of students have no interest in demanding anything but the Big D. Control of student life must now be earned the hard way. — — Monday, 6 February 1978 The Spectrum . .

Since 1973, the program has been inactive for lack of sponsorship and funding. “Our aim,” Professor Wicket comments, “is to make poetry come alive in non-academk auspices and in and pleasant informal surroundings, to act as a meeting place and clearing house for the writers scattered under various affiliations the throughout Buffalo area and, of course, to have a good time.

The budget prposal also voluntary contributions are explains a sharp jump in telephone costs as “due to the Division assuming the workload and functions of the Buffalo Information Cfcnter.” Director of the Information Center Mary Meacham disputed Griffin administration claims that the BIC duplicated services provided by other agencies. “We’re the place where people start,” she said. Meacham continued that the BIC handled 40,000 telephone inquires last year an average of 200 calls per day. The telephones at the BIC office in the Prudential Building continued to ring until the last minute of the agency’s existence with calls for information and assistance. The BIC also produced a resource directory cataloging 700 local public and private service agencies, 400 of which have been sold. The use of the 30-day no-cause termination clause provoked distress from other “human services” agencies that have similar contracts with the City. Mayor Griffin has said that such terminations will continue. In hearings of the Common Council’s Revenue Sharing Sub-Committee, Meacham complained of the manner in which the termination was handled. “We heard on the radio that the BIC contract had been cancelled,” she said. Subcommittee Chairman Eugene M. Fahey defended the BIC saying, “these services have never been provided before.” And Masten Councilman David A. Collins attacked the cancellation of the BIC contract as “capricious and arbitrarily perpetrated.” Some City Hall observers speculated that the BIC was the victim of political reprisals by the Griffin administration because it has been closely associated with former Human Resources Commissioner Robert C. Penn. However, current Commissioner David Echols responded that it had been axed because HUD, which provided the funds for the agency, had demanded a sharp cut in administrative costs. Echols said that the budget costs of the information center were classified solely as administrative, and not programmatic. — — �WWWWWWWWWWWWWWftWWAwwwwuyyfc , \ 6 February 1978 �Physical fitness Keeping up with latestfad by Diane LaValiee Spectrum Staff Writer It seems that the sedentary spectator has finally donned shorts and T-shirt, resulting in the fitness craze that is currently sweeping America. Last year alone, Americans spent $12 billion on sporting goods. Local branches of both Herman’s and Laux Sporting Goods stores have reported a significant increase in sales over the past year. Larry Hutten, manager of Laux, assistant explained the craze this way: “People may be unemployed or laid off, but they will always be working out.” Both European and American Spas’ memberships Health increased this past year. “People are beginning to realize how important their health is and want to do something before it is too late,” said Kim Ameth of a local American Health Spa. ski clothes just to stay warm.” Hutten commented that siding and tennis are “social events, somewhat like a ‘prom.’” football, volleyball, bowling, or they just work out together. Of course, there are always the no-so-ambitious students, like the one who described herself as “just ‘One body’ lazy.” In the past few years, three sports have rapidly risen in popularity: cross-country skiing, indoor tennis, and raquetball. Equipment sales for all are booming. Thousands of people already play raquetball and it has been estimated that the number will triple within the next three to four years. This University’s campuses are also experiencing a resurgence of fitness-consciousness. Of course, the return of varsity football this past Autumn may have brought with it many aspiring athletes. One male said he has noticed the increasing number of people at the Bubble, particularly women. Chairman of the Department of Recreation, Athletics, and Related Instruction, Sal Esposito, agreed that the number of women of the most lucrative One side-effects of heightened fitness awareness is being enjoyed by the fashion industry. In addition to ubiquitous rugby shirts and boxing shorts, color-coordinated tennis and skiing apparel are now popular. Doug Stuff, manager of Herman’s Sporting Goods, said, “Skiers are fashion conscious, but overwhelming to the industry is the number of non-skiers that buy participating in sports is growing, but said that more men are going out for sports too. “People are more aware of the fact that they have only one body,” he commented. Although fitness classes here are always full, ambitious students are finding other ways to keep in shape. Some dorm students organize teams on their floors in Inadequate facilities Depsite one student’s remark that “the Bubble has everything,” most students are very unsatisfied with the facilities at this University. “The Bubble is really poor. The money that they’re spending to keep it up could be used to build a gym that’s worthwhile. It’s ridiculous, but that’s U.B.,” sighed one. Another student at Ellicott, fed up with riding those “stupid Main Street buses to Clark Gym,” goes to the Jewish Center on North Forest near Millersport Highway, which offers saunas, an indoor pool, a track, and tennis courts. Students are not the only ones unhappy about the situation. “It is personally annoying to me that there are not more facilities available to the students,” said has Esposito. “Albany appropriated the money for a facility on the other (Amherst) campus. Hopefully, it will be completed in five years (however) Albany sometimes works in ways that afe not to our liking.” As for now, “we are trying to do the best with what there,” he is .-•.a****-' commented. — A-hunting we;will go; the ins and outs of the search for jobs Charles Haviland Staff Writer Spectrum Aetna Dowst received a bachelor of arts degree (B.A.) in history from Trinity Coliegp. She also holds a $150 a week secretarial position where her duties have nothing to do with her college studies. When asked if she would rather have back the $20,000 spent on her education, Dowst replied, “Not on your life!” Bill Foley is a graduate of the State University of New York College at Oswego and he holds a B.A. in chemistry. He earns more money working for his father’s publishing company than some of the instructors at this University. Foley’s college education clearly doesn’t mean much to him. Dowst and Foley both hold jobs unrelated to their hard-earned college degrees. Dowst values her education; Foley docs not. It seems that anywhere in downtown Buffalo and other large cities, one can find waiters and waitresses with dormant college educations. Regardless of whether June, 1978 graduates will cherish their degrees, it would be wise for them to start job hunting now. The proper time to do this is in the Fall, but it is still not too late to get a jump on the lazier graduates, who plan to start looking in June. Banking looks good There will be almost two and one-half graduates fighting for each college level position on the job market in 1978, according to employment surveyors. If plans include teaching next Fall, public institutions can probably be counted out, except those in New York City, considered most undesirable. Prospective teachers who are denied positions should look to the humanities and social science fields, as those jobs do not require any specialized training, according to William N. Yeomans, author of Jobs 78. The outlooks for computer science, accounting, banking, and dietician work are brighter. Fields related to construction, such as lumber, metal, and transportation will be poor sources of employment in 1978. Four-year college graduates may have some competition from Associate degree-holders, who command smaller salaries for the same other than having a more jobs. However, there are advantages for the four-year degree holder, according to a extensive education U.S. Department of Labor report. Such persons are usually two or three years older and considered more mature. The higher salary of a B.A. holder will allow him to relocate to accept a position. — - JSU and HILLEL Recruiting Relocating, by the way, is something the job seeker should never overlook. According to studies'll Fordham University and City College of New York, graduates have refused to move in order to accept better positions. Currently, one of the keys to long-range financial,success is to start in a position away from the urban setting. Once experience is gained in rural areas, chances are better for achievement in the city. Recruiting by business firms has been on the decline in past years. One reason is this immobility of graduates. An official at Brandeis University claimed that more than one-half of last year’s graduates used home contacts to locate employment. In response, recruiters have stayed away from that institution. Job-hunting students have been refusing to talk to anyone outside of their hometown areas, he said.

Thirty-six of some of the biggest firms in this country revealed in a recent survey that a considerable number of recently-hired college grads left in favor of advancement. The firms felt that large investment of time and money went right down the drain, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal. Companies cannot afford this expense. Therefore, programs offering more challenging work and promises for career advancement at the onset are starting to catch on. Death and retirement The individual who doesn’t care what position is available as long as it offers enough to take care of his college loans can look to civil service. According to Jobs 78, civil service now offers the highest salaries and the best fringe and retirement benefits ever, surpassing those of private industry. However, these jobs are hard to come by, most openings being created through death and retirment. The job-searching guide, Jobs 78, can be found in most book and drug stores for $3.95. Women and Blacks have a jump on others, as firms are looking to fill quotas. Black women just about have it made, according to Yeomans.

At first, it seemed as though there was a new UB team in Clark Hall, as the Bulls displayed good defense, sagging off their men. Surprisingly enough, Buffalo only committed three turnovers in the first half. Contrary to first impressions however, the old Bulls were still they out on the court committed their usual number of fouls, and three starters were in foul trouble at half time.

The Knights, who came into the game with a 1-2 record, have had problems with their offense, but they do have a solid man-to-man defense.

As Cousins cleared her bench, the regulars were given a much deserved rest. “A very solid performance overall,” stated Cousins. “Everybody’s contributing, playing solid ball.” Led by Lilley and Kris Schum with thirteen points, the Royals had five players in double figures, including Co-Captain Hills with twelve, Pam Lerminiaux with eleven, and Dottie Holtz with ten points.

The resolution now goes before the full Council for a vote of approval at next TuesdayVmeeting. The action came in the wake of the deaths last weekend of two elderly Buffalo residents who froze to death in unheated apartments. But Council Majority Leader George K. Arthur predicted, “it’s not going to happen,” because a lack of support from Mayor James D. Griffin and City Comptroller Robert E. Whelan. The City cannot withhold payment of its gas bills from MFC without the approval of both the Mayor and thft Comptroller. The resolution picked up additional support last Tuesday from North Councilman Daniel T. Quider and the Council’s lone Repuglican, Delaware Councilman William L. Marcy. Quider said ire didn’t “think this is an extreme action” compared to what NFG has done and asked to become the seventh sponsor of the resolution. Marcy, who had previously called problems with the utility a matter for the State Public Service Commission (PSC) admitted having a “change of heart,” and voted to approve the resolution. With the support of Marcy and Quider, in addition to the backing of the resolution’s six original sponsors, the measure seemed assured of the eight votes needed for passage before the full Common Council. City Editor National Fuel Gas Corp. (NFG) Wednesday filed a request with the Public Service Commission for a rate increase which, if granted, will annually provide $41 million in additional revenues. The rate increase request comes on the heels of the initiation of a 100 day boycott of bill payment by consumers in the Western New York area. The boycott effort is being marshalled by the Citizens Alliance Committee. In announcing the filing, NPG Vice President Gerald C. Miller deemed the additional revenues “absolutely necessary if NFG is to continue to provide the quality of service our customers have come to expect and to which they are entitled.” Miller also cited inflation as the major reason for the requested increase. “National Fuel’s expenses as well as those of each individual and business continue to rise with inflation,” he noted. The last requested major irate increase was applied for in November of 1975 when NFG asked for $29 million. However, the Public Service Commission (PSC), which conducts the public hearings for all utilities in New York State when a rate hike of more than two and-jpne-half per cent is requested, awarded only $6 million of that request, “making the need even greater now,” an NFG press fully documented regarding the company’s financial requirements. He went on to cite examples of increased company expenditures in the areas of taxes, plant maintenance and operation costs and the spiraling incidence of unpaid gas bills. Coon further quoted the official NFG press release saying, “We agree that gas bills have doubled in the last five years. The major reason is the cost of gas has gone up two and one-half times in the same period. NFG rates have gone up less than 20 percent in the last five years as opposed to the 35 percent inflation rate listed in the Consumer Price Index.” Consumer reaction The proposed rate hike filed with the PSC will increase the average customer’s bill by $64 annually or $5 per month on the balanced billing plan. Allowing sufficient time for the PSC to complete their hearings, the increase if allowed, would take effect around January 1979. As for consumer reaction to another rate increase request on the part of NPG, Regional Coordinator for New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) Ken Sherman remarked, “They could not have given us more fuel for the boycott.” According to Sherman, NFG had record profits for 1977 after having earlier received the supplementary increase in January, and the company did not g^ye present continuing that the now daily. The people can’t lake it anymore.” Rachel L. Wallace, 72, of 427 Adams St., was found frozen to death in her home last Sunday and Howard “Yogi” Cunningham, 84, died from exposure Sunday in Meyer Memorial Hospital. Both had thek gas shut off because they could not pay their bills. During this presentation to the' Committee, Kenneth Sherman, Co-director of the Citizens’ Alliance, announced that a memorial service for the two shut-off victims would be held at noon today in front of the NFG offices on Lafayette Square. No reports received University Councilman Eugene M; Fahey tossed aside questions of the City’s legal liability if it joins the boycott and urged quick passage of the measure. “If NFG wants to sue the City of Buffalo that’s fine with me,” he said. The Legislation Committee had been waiting for reports on the resolution from Griffin and Whelan but received neither. In such cases the Council Committees usually table items for two weeks until it can have all information pertinent to those items before it. Instead, the Committee passed the resolution and asked the Mayor and the Comptroller to prepare their reports in time for Tuesday’s Council meeting. & . . The lone “no” vote on Councilman-at-large Gerald Whalen the resolution came from who conceded that “maybe we ve to things illegally,” but opted to wait for a response to a telegram which he sent to Governor Carey asking for his intervention in the situation. Whalen said that if he received no answer from the Governor hy next Tuesday, he also would support the boycott v h^ resolution. .uough (y ling, >y jupk Studio Arena is a fine theatre both acoustically and aesthetically, it does not satisfy the needs of the current Studio Arena theatre group. “We’ve outgrown the premises,” said President of the Board of Trustees of the Studio Arena Theatre Robert Swados. “There is a need for both a larger number of seats and a more technically equipped theatre.” Sold out productions would have attracted much larger audiences, but limitations were caused by the size of the theatre. Problems with immovable sets and lack of rehearsal space also exist according to Swados. He explained that since the University Theater Department operates on a smaller scale than does the Studio Arena, the building could be more advantageous for this University group. _ The former home of the Studio Arena Theater. 1 Transfer the funds “Since the University is already committed to leasing the Pfeifer Theatre” said Elkin, “it might be willing to transfer the money to lease the Studio Arena, a better facility.

These loans, at seven and one half per cent interest rate, are federally guaranteed against student default and are not bayed on financial need. Other forms-of aid, such as Tuition Assistance Program (TAP), Basic Educational Opportunity Grants (BEOG), work study and National Direct Student Loans (NDSL), are harder to obtain because they are based solely on financial need, according to Acting Director of Financial Aid David Bowman More students may be applying for NYSHED loans because new TAP guidelines further restrict the independent status category. “The student’s net taxable income has to be under $1000 (where last year it had to be under $2000), said Bouman. “Another new TAP requirement for independent status is that the student be over 22 years old, unless he or she is a ward the State, a foster child. Or an orphan,” said Acting Assistant Director Clarence Conner. Both Bouman and Conner believe that this has ruled out quite a number of students from obtaining independent status for TAP awards. “There are now some 20-year-old women with two children attending this University,” added Conner. ,4 r* j s President NewState Higher •ration, Peter Keitel.

Albany will then* send us .between 48 and 52 per cent of the money, with the remainder coming from repayments from students no longer attending school,’* said Bouman. iiSl The biggest problem with the NDSL Loans, Bouman said, is slow payments, not default. “When former students don’t repay their loans on time, or not at all, they are only hurting other students.” SUNY at Buffalo’s default rate has been slowly declining over the past four years according to James Long of the Student Loan Services to 1S.6 in national average said John Feepayers 50c — Others $2.00 �Computers tangle MFC registration Faulty computer programming has been blamed for this semester’s registration mix-up affecting up to 1000 students who registered for Millard Fillmore College (MFC) classes. On January 18, MFC students and cross-registering day students who added courses the previous two days, had portions of their schedules deleted. Some of the affected students discovered the errors that day when passing through the drop-add lines. Others found they were not on the class lists of courses for which they had been p.e-registered. Students then brought their grievances to the Office of Admissions and Records and to Millard Fillmore College Dean Eric Streiff. Streiff explained the registration system gives priority to students for classes within their own division. On the two days in question, the computer could not register night students into day classes and day students into night classes. “Something wasn’t taken out or entered into the computer program,” said Streiff. “Get what he pay* for’ reason for the snafu, according' to Assistant Director of and Research Peter Wittemann, is that the parameters cross-divisional registration were not set properly. As a result, were printed on schedule cards but not entered in the computer banks. Many students showed up at their class’ initial meeting to find the course closed and their names nowhere on the list of enrollees. The Planning allowing courses “Everything possible is being done to correct the situation,” said Wittemann. “We believe the consumer at this University should get what he pays for.” Wittemann and Director of Admissions and Records Richard Dremuk investigated the matter personally. After reviewing computer tapes and printouts, Dremuk and Wittemann pinpointed 32 sections that had been affected. On January 18, students were asked if they had been through the line on the previous two days. Those who had, were advised to re-register. “If the course was closed, we adjusted the guidelines for class size or opened new sections,” said Wittemann, adding, “The main effect tliis has on the University'!* thatmyi 20 dassgs have movtf tp larger rooms and we’ve had to find instructors for new sections that have been added. Wittemann concluded, “Anyone with a problem should come to us and they can be force-registered. After going through all this, there’s no way it could ever happen again.” -Dan Barrett This snow Buffalo is currently on display on Millarsport Highway between the North and South campuses. Studio Arena. —continued from paga 1— • • Administration is recognizing this.” Since future allocated space for the Theatre Department on the allow undergraduates to occupy all the available space on the University campus. Amherst Campus is at least five to eight years away, the only possibility of expanding is to rent a facility like the Studio Arena, said Elkin. Elkin believes that the productions put on by the University’s Theatre Department are an asset for both the school and the outside community. Both theatre education and entertainment are provided through these productions. Plays arc done that are nonexistent elsewhere in the city. “The department provides,” said Elkin, “an important community service function for which a move would give a greater opportunity.” Though mainly for use by the Theatre Department, the Studio Arena could also be a place where the University Music Department could hold concerts, especially those given by the Creative Associates, an experimental music unit contained in the Department. Special degree Current plans call for all graduate classes be held at the theatre if it is leased. A unique one-year Masters Degree in Theatre is being proposed in which graduate students will earn a degree by forming a Theatre Company and producing two seasons’ worth of plays. Most current graduate programs include both a laboratory and a class, but the special degree would be conducted entirely as a laboratory situation. Housing the graduate program downtown would By moving the Theatre Department downtown, a gain in prestige is likely. “The Department will become more visible,” said Elkin, “and will be a part of the growing theatre scene downtown.’* There are hopes that a theatre district will develop in downtown Buffalo which will include the Century Theatre; Shea’s Buffalo; the Studio Arena; and the Convention Center, opening next year. “Becoming a part of this scene is a real opportunity,” Elkin commented. “Developing this theatre district could mean a- tremendous -revitalization of the downtown area.” Whether the University budget can afford the move is presently being discussed between the Studio Arena management and the University Administration. If all financial details can be worked cut, the move will be made by September 1978. WORK!

Service businesses would provide jobs without such a large IM environmental expense.” Haspel doubts, though, that the city will be able to bring itself in hne with the growth to be experienced by the rest of the country. i' . Contradicting many economists who believe growth is necessary for prosperity, Haspel believes that life in Buffalo may still improve. Even with a stagnant economy, people leaving the city would enable those who remain to enjoy a higher per capita income, he said. ’• -; ' 1 New. four yew ID cards wffl be made avaBable andante the lint week to March.

Associate Professor in the Department of Economics Nagesh Revankar has a much more number of employed of perhaps 2.5 million, and even a alight drop in the number of unemployed. Difficult to calculate Some economists arc now questioning the value of measuring progress by Grom National Product (GNP): Net Economic Welfare (NEW) corrects GNP by including things such as the value of housewives work, the negative worth of pollution and the cost of some aspects of modem life, such as commuting to and from jobs. NEW is obviously difficult to calculate. Even so, it is estimated that NEW is growing some 30 per cent more slowly than GNP. With the world’s limited resources (especially oil), the population would be happier if NEW was increased at the expense of GNP. Modem economics has found ways to limit the material growth of GNP and have healthier welfare growth, according to Paul Samuelson in Newsweek. What is lacking is a city where this has been tried. Politics usually favors expansion and it , would take a radical change of ideas for the Buffalo city administration to drop its goal of maintaining the city’s rank among other industrial centers, which might not be the best overall decision. The geographic structure of the US is changing and simply because factory production is a tradition does not mean change is not possible.

Tuition debts hinder advance registration / . \ ■ * •’*' • • . '' ’ 1 Facing thefuture in Buffalo New IDs Approximately 675 students have been notified by letters mailed Tuesday, that their advance registration has been revoked because they have failed to meet Admissions and Records (A&ft) deadline of January 16 for payment of last semester’s tuition bill. The University has extended the date for them to re-register to February 2. The revocations of registration are the result of a new policy instituted last semester which allowed students to pre-register before paying the previous semester’s bill. “The reason for the extention,” explained Associate Director of Admissions and Records Peter Wittemann, “was that the response to the policy of pre-registration was excellent, and It was felt that students should be given a further opportunity to clear their debts.” He added that in some cases, students may not have been able to meet the initial deadline because of various “external” reasons, such as problems in financial aid processing. A total of 9817 students took advantage of pre-registration and 9142 of them made their financial payments by the initial deadline.

As a matter of fact, that student may be downright unhappy. This is especially true when the maze is made so that a large number of these strangers cannot all be together at one time, and have no area where they are likely to run into each other socially more than a couple of times a week. said “Actually,” Irving Spitzberg, “the EUicott Complex was designed to be a rather inter-personal place.” Spitzberg knows the probably better than anyone because, being Dean of the Colleges for the past four years, it was the job of his department to make EUicott such a place. The fact is that the Colleges today are not a relic of ah old University of Buffalo fitted randomly into EUicott, rather, they are a revised form of the Colleges that originated in 1970. EUicott was buUt to service the needs of the CoUeges as social and said institutions, inteUectual Spitzberg. That’s the reason divided EUicott is into quadrangles. The eleven CoUeges were, and arc, supposed to be the mainstay of Ufe in EUicott, the thing that makes living there different than anywhere else on campus. Too chaotic’ The preamble to the Faculty Senate’s Prospectus for the we agree the Colleges states, Colleges are on balance, a valuable addition- to the University and that their special strength lies in the motivation and enthusiasm of the students, in providing a sense of community for many who cannot find it in departments, in attention to neglected perspectives and values, and in the innovative, opportunity for experimental, interdisciplinary and socially relevant learning.” “ September 8, 1977 was so long ago for Irving Spitzberg, Dean of the Colleges at this University, that it took him a while to find a copy of his letter of resignation, sent that day to Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn. “It’s not news,” said Dean Spitzberg, “it’s past history.” Past history, too, is the letter of acceptance he later received from President Ketter. Spitzberg, whose one year’s notice ends on September 1, 1978, gpve three specific reasons for resigning his post. He said that he believed the Faculty Senate and Prospectus chartering process had reached the fullest maturity it could achieve under his supervision. In his letter he states: “We now have a system of independent collegiate units, each with its personality, a strong own identity and an innovative academic program.” Since the Prospectus is going to be reviewed this year in relation to the progress the Colleges have made while Spitzberg has been Dean, it seems appropriate that a new leader be given the opportunity to share his or her ability with “ ... However, the preamble also states that at the same time, the CoUeges were found by external evaluators to be; "... too valuable to lose and too chaotic to survive.” For this reason, the Faculty Senate drew up a Prospectus in 1974, putting the CoUeges into a new form. The new system included several new governing powers, such as the Office of the Dean of the CoUeges, the Charter Committee and the College CouncU. The Dean of the CoUeges would be similar to the President of the CoUeges in the old system, but because of the new CoUeges’ focus, the job would be different. It would be the responsibihty of the new Dean (Spitzberg) to help bring to maturity the College system outlined in the Faculty important aspects of education 4 at this University, he has said. ’ Cohen’s committee has asked that people with credentials for appointment as tenured faculty apply. Ads in the New York Times have been placed with the same offer. According to Cohen, a major criteria for picking a replacement for Spitzberg is that “the person must really believe in and be dedicated to new approaches and experimental and approved alternatives to education.” Permanancy and outside interests would also help of chances a candidate’s Dean of the Colleges, Irving Spitzberg the Colleges,” Spitzberg felt His third reason was: “Over the past three and one half years, I have used up my fair share of good will; and I might add, that my own reservoir of good will is not quite as deep as when I started.” Adi in Times The head of the committee to find a new dean is Harold Cohen, Dean of Architecture and Environmental Design. “The Colleges are one of the most Senate’s Prospectus. The rules regarding the chartering and dissolution of Colleges were now much more strict; only the Colleges with the most valuable and enthusiastic programs would be preserved. The Prospectus also instituted four existing governing bodies, which include Long-range Student Planning, Steerage, Budget and the College Council, to provide for interaction between the Colleges. appointment. The Search Committee for the new Dean of the Colleges includes Daniel Acker, President of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; Peter Gold, Academic Program Coordinator for Rachel and Rod College Carson Buffham and Elyse Hoffman of the Student Association among others. When asked about the drastic changes that took place while Spitzberg was Dean, Cohen said: “There is no final model... we don’t have Ten a Commandements written in stone. Change is normal.” can more fully identify with.” The Colleges, then, are meant to be the unifying factor of a dispersed campus. Spitzberg has seen the Colleges develop from the Senate’s plan to their present form. “If it were possible to take two snapshots that summed up college Hfe, one of Spring 1974 and one now, there would be vast differences,” said Spitzberg. He reports that in Spring 1974 the Colleges had a little over 100 Presently, 2600 enrollments. students are College members. The existing Colleges seem to their goal of be achieving alternative sources of education, with degrees of participation in programs that would not usually be offered by any University.

MAIN'AMHERST Friday, 3 February 1978 The Spectrum Page five . . �EDITORIAL u DeUa the demented Ploying a Nixonian defense And a rock feels no pain And an island never cries. Nine days ago, we urged President Ketter to issue a response to the Mathematical Sciences Review Committee report, which paints a gloomy portrait of academic life here and casts serious doubts on the University Administration. We had earlier been referred to Executive Vice President Albert Somit for an official comment which turned out to be "no comment" on the question of insecure and incompetent leadership. — The President ignored our offer. By not responding to The Spectrum, Ketter chose to once again insulate the Administration from the students and University community. He has also left unchallenged the Review Committee's disturbing view of the University leadership (or / lack of same). Ketter did feel it appropriate to respond to the Courier-Express and the Buffalo Evening News, neither of which have measurable on-campus readerships. In those Ketter danced replies, neatly around the real, University-wide issues of a poor academic environment and poor leadership by detailing the conflict between "applied” and "pure" mathematics. He also expressed amazement that the media would consider the report "news." Instead of a forthright and candid reply to the Review Committee's harsh criticisms some of which may be over-generalizations Ketter has played a Nixonian defense, preferring to suppress the report, discredit the Review Committee's work, and confuse the issue. Members of the University community have told us that it is precisely this insular attitude that is at the source of the problems illuminated by the Review Committee. We tend to — - agree. By stonewalling the report, Ketter has kept spinning the myopic cycle which is, in part, responsible for the deterioration of University life at SUNY Buffalo. The Administration's self-protecting isolation from the faculty and students is a weH documented complaint. We would like to add another chapter by denouncing President Ketter for his refusal to answer charges of administrative incompetence; for his lack of respect toward the campus press; and for his deliberate clouding of a very clear issue. Admittedly, the Review Committee's gloomy picture of the academic environment here is arguable. What cannot be debated is that significant portions of the University community genuinely concur with the Review Committee's findings. The pure fact that many faculty and students preceive the University atmosphere as dismal has been completely lost in the denunciations and denials. That simple realization is more important than the reports of a thousand committees. The Spectrum Vol. 28. No. 52 Editor-in-Chiaf Brett Kline I Editor John H.

Bring on the show then end one paragraph vote boys as though all that was or consequence was Delia’s diminuitive visage and his call to institute that device. Where’s the analysis or the concern. Where’s the commital from this half-pint purveyor or Dan Lurie barbells and why doesn’t he raise his voice - - You know the dele delves out a strange beat and so it may or must on these long cntropic winter days. And as this primal beat plays havoc with our cauterized brain cells we are met with the addition of a cymbol, a cymbol that clangs from the eirie stillness and quietude like a lamenting widow grieving over the death of a man she never loved. - Delia the demented. So we are to give Delia the credit for such an astute awareness and for initiating a precedent setting move of diplomacy. By this I mean the recent Wednesday greet, the recent drum roll that drowned out that harbinger of a springtime message. Campus lolly and lolipops or is that Security and guns scepter grinning back there beyond the iron works. So what do we come to, to what do we owe this dubious distinction (to coin an old phrase). Jolly Dennis getting down to tacks of brass, demanding — from the cavenous reaches of that windmill he calls “Athletic facilities.” Yeah we’ve got our stoney mute, his virgin walls and his squeaky voice nervously condescending to an administration that never had so much fun since their Howdy-Doody dolls burst, leaving sand to the living room and cuffs about the ears. Our boys’ ID brown may not have been seen with guns strapped to bulging crotches, but not because of the efforts of a dead shadow, but rather for reasons more vapid than the precursor himself. James J St egman Let’s not be mellow To the Editor. We wholeheartedly reject the opinion of Johnny Reid and his followers who put forth a doctrine of mellowness to combat strife at the University. The time and the place demand non-passive resistance. It was Ghandi, in modern times, who fostered the idea of passive resistance. His success can be attributed to the circumstances he confronted; i.e., a human and civilized foe which he fought in front of a human and mainly humane audience. Unfortunately, we at UB lack these advantages. It should be recognized that most of the time we are dealing with a machine oriented system which accepts little more than your social security number as proof of existence. Once it has this, the important feature of your life, it can bill you (often for courses you never even heard of), schedule you to certain places at certain times, pass on its information to other sources, or confuse you for another piece of data (“If you’ve collated one person, you’ve collated them all . . .”), Luckily, if by some unusual (?) circumstance the master machine mangles you (after all folks it’s only human!) you can always go to the people of the administration. Y«*. the administration! Who are they, these powerful people known mainly to Jay Rosen and his fellow hacks? We can’t say, but from the services rendered it looks as if the bureaucracy is just an extension of the machine. The SUNY Machine. Admission and Records, Scheduling, Food Service, all work by the clock the number and the record card. If you had a bursar check in your schedule in December and paid it promptly, or better yet found out it was non-existent, whatever, you may be assured that your schedule cards still read temporary. Try taking a book out of the library. You can find manifest inefficiency in the system almost wherever you look. Our student directory (oh wow! three roommates, three different numbers, all of them wrong!), our student I.D.’s (that dead horse’s ■ glue may stick around for a while), maintenance (three days for an elevator, a half a week for a window . . .), etc. Now you can lay back in your room and smoke your herbs or meditate, or drink and be mellow if you want. In the SUNY system here you can do anything you want in your room if it doesn’t hassle the rusty, grinding wheels of the system. We of the M.A.S.S. (Mellowness is Allowing Sloppy Service) movement aren’t against partying or relaxing. We simply believe that the “let’s forget the problems and relax” philosophy is letting the system get away with too much. We aren’t saying everything in this University is totally bad (please, we don’t want to be buried in “Why aren’t you glad to be alive;” letters), but we would like to hear more voicing of grievances, see more documentationof the processes affecting our lives at SUNYAB, and above all, more action in the direction of restoring good, reliable human service to the good, reliable human community here. So next time your elevator’s oUt Wr three'iWys, next time you get four recitations and no classes, next time a candy dispenser eats your quarter, don’t go to your room to hum your mantra or puff your pot; try complaining. Not to the little folks on the bottom either, take it to the top! And put it in The Spectrum after all, our paper exists to keep us informed. ; Daniel Isaacs Adam Snyder Paul Goddard ... by Danny Parker Live from Washington. D.C., Ittttt’s the U.S. House of Representatives, sponsored by That’s right, Congress is considering televising coverage of floor action and chances look mighty good that sometime iitthe Spring you will be able to sit in your living,room, flick on the tube, and watch Jack Kemp and the Sub Committee on Defense do a tapdance along with Donnie and Marie. Actually, House Speaker Tip O’Neill supports Congressional control of the broadcasting, only allowing cameras to focus on the majority and minority tables and the Speaker’s rostrum. It does seem rather ironic that the institution which created the Bill of Rights favors censorship. After all, why would the public want to see its tax-supported Congressman doze off during a tedious moment? What purpose would there be in broadcasting the backroom dealings that take place during a session? Why should we be entitled to see a disturbance in the Gallery or a hostile verbal exchange between Members, or even a threat of fisticuffs? The answer is simple What Congress does behind dosed doors is none of our business. (You must be kidding ...) From the individual Congressman’s point of. view, television is almost better than an unlimited expense account. Pretty soon, if the Members can act well enough, they might even get their own weekly series. The possibilities arc endless It’s time for Little Committer on the Prairie, I love Rodino. Appropriations Trek, or Laverne and Shirlev go to the Capitol. ...

Could you imagine spending a whole day watching, and suddenly some first-term member comes running on to the floor just before the third bell and shouts, “Aye.” That’s almost as boring as spending a whole day watching TV. Let’s face it. Congress may be the most important legislative body in the country, but it just isn’t TV materia]. You can throw all your political checks and balances out the window, but unless the networks are given the right to show what they want, when fhey want, and whom they want; then televising Congress will be like watching Brady Bunch reruns. As far as I’m concerned, the only way I’ll let Congress into my living room is if it forces me, and the only way it can do that is if it starts to some of its constitutional power, and that re-exert doesn't seem very likely the way things are going . .

These characters have been abandoned by the author wrfto invented them. The father pleads with the woman director |o forsake the comedy on which she is working and perform his family's life/story.

The outraged director is told "... that if this be madness it is the sole raison of your Spectrum Arts Staff First, some slightly unnecessary personal background. The previous production of Six Characters in Search of an Author that I saw left me bewildered and somewhat confused. Like Bob Dylan's Mr. Jones, I felt something was happening but I didn't know what it was. Of course, my problems at that time stemmed as much from my own inexperience as from the intentionally shocking content of Luigi Pirandello's play. The second time around, I found myself once again surprised, this time pleasantly. Although the production by the UB Theatre Department in Harriman Studio was wilder and more exotic than I had anticipated, it came across not just a mere revival, but a s a faithful revision. As exhibited throughout the play, the standard methods of theatrical operation are set in limbo. One is accustomed to entering a theatre, ticket in one hand and playbill in the other, and finding one's assigned seat. However, the mood for this production is set from the beginning, as these "rules" are quickly broken. profession." The Six Characters in Search of an Author Not merely a revival but a faithful revision Successful introduction The play actually opens in the lobby of Harriman with a performance by two black-tighted mimes. Their movements suggest a of confinement , end., 'P* restriction. After struggling and grappling together, they lie motionless on the floor. The crowd is then ushered toward the theatre, passing six rigid and lifeless figures distanced by a glasss doorway. Once in the. theatre, there is ample reason -to believe the circus is in town.

This tension and the half-illuminated accusations of the characters are both curiosity and fascination inducing. As theresult of their differing philosophies and perceptions, the actors characters and the director become hopelessly entangled in "playing out" the drama. The characters demand truth and accuracy, for the enactment is their only means of survival. the stage. Complete baggage, of they are with dressed in normal attire, contrasting the elaborate costumes of the actors and blurring the distinctions of what and who are "real". Tempting and torturing But the director wants truth only to a certain point. She demands that the drama be "playable", and doesn't disrupt theatrical intent. The director needs placticity, while the actors need pretense. The father argues that he is more real than those "living", since "our reality doesn't change: it can't changel" For those very desperate characters reality is immutable, while for die 'living" it "is a mere transitory and fleeting illusion, talcing this form today and that tomorrow." The best performance is given by Mary Jo Upinczyk as the step-daughter, who is both tempting and torturing but most of alt utterly convincing. Mark Donahue, as the father, doesn't Quite carry the heavy burden of his character without faltering. His movements seem too tight and at times his voice fails to project. Lorna C. Hill handles the part of the director with ease and confidence, her voice always as powerful as her mannerisms. Six Characters In Search Of An Author is in the mode of avant-garde theater, which in this case seems perfectly compatible with the text. Pirandello’s work acknowledges; indeed flaunts, the artiface of the stage, art, and even reality. This production may A means of survival appear outrageous, and I think it This hole is of the many is, but there is good reason. In this appropriate touches Munro has unique and imaginative added to this production, and it is performance.

Safety In Numbers? Will you be at Shea's Buffalo on February 18, not just to ... experience the crack in the sky but to discover a blend of Irish folk and rock called Horslips? Will you finally quit denying yourself the right to expand and discover new music? Or are you afraid of the lea? For those people tired of the same old songs, there is an on-campus alternative. Located in Pritchard Hall, the Center of the Creative and Performing Arts is "one of the few existing groups of musicians that rehearse and perform experimental music," according to managing director Renee Levine. Established in 1964 by Lucas Foss and Allen Sapp, the Center had served as a stage for the development and exposure of contemporary music. Evenings for New Music the Center's continuing concert series has been performed throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe. This season's concerts have presented the works of such composers as John Cage, Lejaren Hiller, Iannis Xenakis, Toru Takemitsu, and Morton Feldman, the Center's music director. One of the Center's primary aims is to demystify new music. Initial audience exposure to these innovative forms has been an obstacle because media coverage has not been great enough. "Some people have a preconceived notion that it is noisy or hard to take," Levine explained. She dislikes the term "abstract" to describe contemporary works, because it tends to frighten people. Once individuals experience this new musical form, many return. Center Assistant Gail Kramer added, "Historically, it has taken time for any new music to be exposed and to register in people's ears before it has been accepted." Recitals previewed Another objective of the Center is to provide a platform for composers to experiment and musicians to work as much as possible without commercial time limits. Fellowships awarded to resident members make this possible. Federal, state, and local funding as well as Rockefeller Foundation Grants provided revenue for the Center. State University of New York at Buffalo supplied offices and rehearsal rooms in Pritchard Hall. Creative Associate Recitals by individual members are regularly previewed in Baird Hall. Evenings for New Music concerts take place at Albright-Knox Art Gallery, granting an "aural counterpart to the visual"of the museum. Levine adknowledges the paradox in the fact that Buffalo, a working class town, should house one of the country's largest centers of avant-garde music and film. She is grateful that "Buffalo has become the climate, being a place which will faster such forms of expression." Listener input On Tuesday, Shea's Buffalo will be the scene of percussive rock, as Santana comas to town, UUAB and Buff State proudly present this aggregate of bongo admirers. Tickets arc not plentiful, so you'd better hurry. According to Levine, "Contemporary music is a reflection of what's happening in'the world today."' btV/s aYolfeTn htfw music. Electronic devices, synthesizers, computers, and even lasers augment conventional instruments. Composers have experimented with developing musical presentations that affect more than just the sense of hearing. Some authors wish to maintain control over the audience's entire environment. These concepts require increased listener input. Kramer added, "It is like a spectrum, multifaceted, as different as music before it." The Center of the Creative and Performing Arts has recorded on Columbia, Deutsche Grammophon, and Vox Records. Current members of the Center include John Boulder, percussion; Robert Dick, flute; Gary Hatt, clarinet; Greg Ketchum, percussion; Nora Post, oboe; Jan Williams, percussion/conductor; and a Polish couple, Weronika and Krzysztos Knittel, strings. -Tony Amplo JADE LOUNGE TAVERN “"1 1 GOOD FOOD RESTAURANT Hong Kong Chicken with vegetable Lichee Guy Kew (Chicken Bells with Lichees) Col Lai Her stuffed with Minced Meats.

The principal character in The Offering is Father O'Neill, a priest in a fiercely Irish community in Boston who collects money to aid the Irish freedom movement. On his first trip to Ireland, he meets Willie Boyd, the dynamic and powerful leader of the local sector of the IRA, and Mara MacRaimond, a woman whose flinching devotion to the cause has placed her position, not to mention her life, in jeopardy. Boyd convinces O'Neill that his donations of $25,000 are being put to use in caring for the wives and children of men injured and killed in their fight for independence, when in reality the money is veing used to make bombs. Promise withdrawn When the priest returns to the United States, a man appearing to be a wealthy industrialist with Irish heritage approaches him, wishing to donate a million dollars to the cause before he dies. All are pleased, especially Boyd. But IRS investigator complicates the situation when he reveals to O'Neill that the million dollars was in fact donated by a reputed gangster. The United State government is also involved. The feds helped pave the way for this illegal transfer of funds in order to placate the IRA in private while denouncing them to improve relations with England. When Father O'Neill realizes the dubious source of the money, he withdraws his promise to deliver it to the IRA. And the remainder of the story deals — with the retribution felt by the movements "traitors", which in this book consists mostly of Willy Boyd asking himself, "Where are they?" and the Priest stressing to Mara, "NO! I will not take the money and run." The style of the book is fast-apced and abrupt, skipping from scene to scene with such rapid succession that one's tension is expected to run high. The sad fact is that instead of tension, all of these short scenes simply hack up the book's continuity. For the most part, the description is awkward and arbitraey, even sometimes silly. For example, 'The hair tingled on the back of the priest's neck." The writer might have been better off stressing that the priest's hair-tingling was the least of his problems at the time. A pure heritage The book is most effective in its description of Boston's intensely Irish pride and the striking similarities, as well as important differences, between the native Irish people and the Irish Bostonians. While the Irish in Northern Ireland reject English rule because the British patrol their streets and frighten their children, the American Irish are more concerned about the purity of their heritage and are usually ignorant of the violent misdeeds of the IRA. Irish solidarity means smashed knees and bludgeoned heads for those who question the divine purpose of the movement. The IRA, according to Reid, is an organization whose evil methods often obstruct the movemnet's positive ideology. Reid has chosen a hefty topic for his first novel and on many counts, he falls short of fulfilling it. The scenes- where the priest succumbs to evil temptation are woefully superficial. The political intrigue is left largely unexamined, leading the reader to question its importance. And the characters might as well have been out of a cheap movie. For sure, John LeCarre need not looke over his shoulder. —Robert Basil party. a Soturdoy, Feb. 4th from 5 The Offering, by James Reid, 223 pp., G.P. Putnam's Sons, New York The Offering, by James Reid, has been praised as a masterful suspense and espionage thriller a la John LeCarre. There are, no doubt, many elements in the book that can be found in the best of international-intrigue-style governmental books: illegalities. The Irish Republican Army, clerical debauchery and even the IRS. Yet Reid, in his first novel, fails to artistically mesh these plot elements into a refined, exciting Rizzo So Come Out!

Husbands, Wives and Live-togethers, by William Hamilton, Berkeley Windhover, New York A young woman stares fixed-eyed across the checkerboard® tablecloth in a cafe, listening to her excited girlfriend profoundly proclaim, "I'm sort of para-in love." So starts the third collection of William Hamilton's social cartoon collection. Husbands, Wives and Live-togethers. Hamilton's work is frequently displayed in The New Yorker. Time and Newsweek. His past books include Terribly Nice People and Anti-Social Register. Hamilton's characteis are taken from upper class social circles, college campuses and high level business, and they all suffer from habitual identity crises brought on by society's ridiculous value system. A virile man with a mustache and hairy forearms holds an adoring female in his library and says, "I love you, and I mean that not just personally I mean it politically, too." An overwhelmed looking little kid is treated to a scorching interrogation from his parents, "Do you have any idea what your father and I go through with each other to keep a nuclear family for you?" Americal seeks superficial ends. True domesticity becomes a scene in which a husband redines amorphously onto a couch with a dishrag of a wife pouring a shot of bourbon for him, where the worst possible social blunder occurs when your husband mispronounces "ouevre" in front of friends.

Feb. 3 at 3:30 pm In Crosby 114 EVERYONE WELCOME! True domesticity Hamilton's humor is rarely derived from a single clever line or a novel setting, rather, it is something the reader probably sees and hears several times during the course of a week. Thus, the reader can see himself as a caricature but a believable one. It is easy to imagine a couple sauntering down the path from Squire Hall to Parker Hall, with one of them exclaiming, "Can you believe the human mind? Do you know that right at this minute I'm thinking of amino acids, Thomas Jefferson, and you?" Or how about relaxing in your room with a pat. pondering, "If only Haydn could heard himself in quad." The primary focus of the book is a tongue-in-cheek examination of what Americans like to think of themselves as and the strange parameters by which they gauge their identities. Much of what Hamilton's characters hold dear is pathetically cliche and mundane, but still very amusing. For example, a stringy-haired housewife budges her mildly conscious husband and says, "Remember when we used to take those Italian style walks together?" Hamilton's I*' **** *mkI t« my ***** * *K«*ugh s ihm will never lie anything more In - into the sexual occupation of the future ("When a butcher sharpens a big knife, and electric current runs through the ladies,"), and J.C. Higgens, a man who has attended private schools all his life, and who, in his golden years, writes "beautifully bounded" books on the life of George Washington. This part, while at times witty and colorful, is less satisfying than the first. It lacks the spontaneity of the earlier cartoons, which present snapshot observations that tickle rather than plod. The sparkle of the first portion of the book more than compensates for the latter. With but a few sketchy lines and brush strokes, Hamilton masterfully portrays the "thick" American, "the one who clings to plastic ideals and modern contradictions:" -Robert Basil Friday, 3 February 1978 The Spectrum Page eleven . . �Spacek believable 'Verna' by Harold Goldberg Contributing Editor Spacek played a hopeful When Sissy mid-western starlet in Vema: USO Girt during the PBS program. Great Performances a week ago, she showed the world what dreams were made of. Spacek starred as a nice, no-talent girl with an eternally sweet face, her eyes changing with lovable expressions. This performance was perhaps Spacek's most believable rple. Watching Vema: USO Girt one forgets Carrie and feels for this girl's struggle with the ravage of World War II and the hope of becoming a star. Spacek is cutesy, but not because she's cute. She is not Marilyn Monroe. She is not even Betty Grable. always shining and hopeful, not trudging onward but dancing proud taps, albeit without rhythm. The show itself projects simplicity, and the camera doesn't do creative justice to the feeling. When Verna sings "Button Up Your Overcoat", the camera looks up to Vema, then moves to a close-up of soldiers, (bad teeth smiling), then back to Verna, then to the soldiers as a crowd, back to Verna, then the backs of the crowd looking toward the stage. As typical and predictable as were the violent scenes of the Sixities' TV show. Combat these are scenes of contrived simplicity, and they don't work. The camera does its creative job best when combining still and grainy shots of Spacek with real shot of WWII USO shows. First there's the crowd, then Danny Kaye, then Spacek; here the viewer believes the film to be historical reality. Verna's dream hinges on a belief in herself and her career. She is the orphan child who steers away from marriage with a Gl, saying: "Gosh, stars with my unique talent don't get married... What about my career? You just don't understand." As a star, Verna would want clothes and parties and fans and even a big funeral when she dies. But one must remember that Verna doesn't covet the trappings of a star in a materialistic way. All she wants is a part of her innocent dream to come true. Because of her desires, there is little room for marriage. Sissy Spacey the sounds of the war scare Verna to ;* ■ Only reality. And then Verna sits, knees to her head in an alley, shivering and crying. Late in the film she is on stage doing a Christmas show after nearly being killed as a forced spectator to battle. At the sounds of bombs, she stiffens, flashing back to the Gl's proposal of marriage. She is not frightened by the stage but she is terrified by reality. She closes her eyes and sings, with a Spacek grin; "The moon was all aglow And heaven was in your eyes The night that you told me Those little white lies. . . " itnfiirrr ' >To hear She is the girl back home who you dream about when fighting a war. Ail those USO shows supposedly made the war more tolerable. What they really did was make it more surreal, bringing happiness in the face of war; entertainment with bombs in the background. And there she is, a girl who can't dance or sing, but who believes she can; who gets away with it because she is energetic. And cute. Simple little Verna pacifies the war for the moment. Maureen, the "B-plus ringer" of the troupe. sings sensually, but her wrinkles show. She gives the doughboys happy blues. Eddie, a "second rate" vaudevillian, makes them laugh with one-liners, fiut that's too ephemeral. They will remember Verna, the sound of battle, to think of the marriage that might have been, is to fathom the possibility of failure that comes with facing reality. In a scene filled with melodrama, Verna rides over a mine and is hit by the charge. Her face is shocked and unbelieving; the battle has killed her. In prior scenes she had always moved away from the real war, had run away from the jeep's destinations. Now the jeeps and the battle moved away from her. The first performer to be killed during wartime, Verna gets her funeral, her star's funeral, from the Army. Over her coffin, guns are fired while second rate dignitaries'and generals stand at attention. Only ihe soldiers knew Verna; They were her fans. She died fulfilling her hopes by doing the impossible: combining reality with a dream in a personal way blindl Page twelve The Spectrum Friday, 3 February 1978 . .

Buffalo has small audience for punk by Carol Schnitzer Spectrum Music Staff The "Anarchy on the. Airwaves" concert given by Lip Service under the audpices of WBFO was attended by a relatively small crowd. Apparently Buffalo, ha* Pqt V.et g«i*d * graft, audience for punk rock, though it is growing. The audience sat fairly quietly in their chairs at first, but later on the band managed to get a number of people shouting and dancing. The band itself was mostly dressed in a punkish assortment of costumes not omitting leather jackets and blue jeans except one guitarist dressed in a tie and an orange bathrobe which turned out to be a pantsuit. It started with several high-energy renditions of songs by groups such as the Dammed and the Ramones which were well done (though they have a looser touch than the Ramones). Finally they launched into their originals. They concentrate mostly on the traditional punk subject technology, aggression, and sexual disillusion. The song they led off on, 'Telephone Slime"; seemed to be concerned with the first subject. If I'm wrong here, it's because I couldn't hear all the words. All and all. Lip. Service performed 11 original songs. Some were about predatory sexuality and the disillusion with the opposite sex that can result from it, such as "Love Renagade", a frentic shouter, and "Ain't gonna Marry That Girl," their hit single which struck me as their best song. It is about guess what romantic disillusion, and clicks mostly because of the repetition of the chorus in the middle. Besides those songs and others there were "Raised on Assasination", an anthem to aggression which I chose as the second-best song, and to close the first set another technological song, 'The TV Made Me Do It". Most of the antics onstage were done by Mark Rage, the vocalist (the names of the other band members are as strange). He indulges in a number of typical punk mannerisms such as kneeling and crawling on the stage and at one point hitting it with a baseball bat. A special trick of his is to jump onto a springboard and sbmmersault onto the stage at the beginning of a song. As the show went on he gradually stripped down to leather vest. The band adjourned for 45 minutes and some of the audience left, but the people who stayed were stirred up more as a result of the recorded music and the dance contest the radio station put on. By the time Lip Service came on again some people were dancing in the back of the room, and the audience in general was more enthusiastic. This time Lip Service performed a number of songs by other bands such as the Dead Boys and the Kinks (one was Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane"). By this time, the audience was showing some of the enthusiasm the band had asked for early in the first set. The band obviously live the punk and proto-punk artists whose songs they perform, and their versions are pretty good. At 12 they signed off and left the stage but the crowd shouted fqr the Sex Pistols' "God Save The Queen." The band went onstage again and obliged it with an energetic version of the song which was the best thecover they did in the evening. I don't know if Lip Service will burn down Rome, but they'll do. As Patti Smith said, the important thing is the energy each new wave band creates and it doesn't matter if, they're not great artists. It was evident though, that Buffalo is still slow in coming around to punk rock, and that is rather regrettable from the standpoint of the band. Still, it's obvious taht punk rock has come here to stay. I am reminded of Richard Hell's song, "Blank Generation," which I heard on the loudspeakers before Lip Service's first set: if punk rock kefeps on like it has been, this generation won't be blank anymore. — — — - — �First Meditations (For Quartet) (ABC-Impulte) Another chapter of the expanding Coltrane RECORDS legacy. From the eye of A Love Supreme (1964), the insight already flowing strongly from John Coltrane and many others (we mentioned a direct influence, the omnidirectional Sun Ra, last week) seemed to burst boldly upon the world of 1965. No longer could the advancements in that period be shunhed or explained so simply as a pseudo-technological "New Thing" or even a "New Wave" (where the term originated, incidentally). When Coltrane, born from (among others) the creative cubicles of Monk and Miles (a mysterioso kind of blue, indeed!) stepped further foreward on the natural growth and beauty of his own surging musical quest, he found many an upraised eyebrow where people expected to hear another placid vogue of-cool, whatever people think that is (Even the cartoons tell; you have to be HOT to really be cool!). The Coltrane took by most of those who should have known better: The "historians" who had been following Coltrane since his early growth, and many musicians. Many to this day forget that it is a balance of predictability and surprise, creatively presented, which is true entertainment. Coltrane, for all his efforts on his own before 1965 (and they're quite a few, from Impressions to India to the prime Acknowledgement of A Love Supreme ), was still typecast by most (albeit less so by this time) as a member of the "reliable" (?) Miles school (which also was criticized, too often, wrongly). He was salable alone because of this legacy, yet Coltrane (as Duke. Ellington) refused to become his past merely because of economics, though (thoughtfully) economics were not ignored. To the end Coltrane could summon, in endless differentiation, the quietly proud romanticism of Naima and the resurgent sparkle of My Favorite Thing. Point being, Coltrane never became obsessed with things. his concern was people. His decree was the Holy Spirit, and his edict expressed thru unprecedented fact is that surprise George Benson, Weekend In L.A. (Warner Bros.) The two songs comprising the first side of this live, double record in a way, George Benson's somewhat sudden lift on the set, symbolize, road to success. T <, . * ft , .. The magnificent "Weekend in L.A." and the mediocre "On Broadway" represent the degree of acceptance, the nationwide popularity, that was recently bequested on Benson. Two albums previous to this one, he sang on his first song ("This Masquerade") since starting in the music market. That initial vocal experiment payed off in his first gold record, but Benson did pay a price. His mellow Stevie Wonderish voice was the one ingredient lacking, in his long history of musical endeavors, that kept him from previously attaining commercial success. But when he added this, he cut out some of his previous perfection, that of guitar. So it goes V There is some hope in sight, however. Benson, seemingly ready to overcome his slip into vocalland (encountered, to some degree, on the reasonably satisfying In Flight has moved forward with a great musical achievement, that of Weekend in L.A.. The title cut, an instrumental reminiscent of "Breezin," opens the album with a sparkle. The superb backup band plays unerringly, highlighted by some fine Jorge Dalto piano, Benson mesmerizes, firing out guitar riffs as if he were born to do it. And maybe he was. The somewhat hackneyed "On Broadway" follows, with a reasonably decent Benson treatment. It's possible that this song shouldn't have been included, however, since played out. Side two opens with a vocal cut, "Down Here on the Ground." The sound is light and breezy, again with the omnipresent sweetness of Dalto's piano. Stanley Banks on bass, and Harvey Mason, on drums, are constantly spewing forth a solid rhythm line. "California P.M.," a nice instrumental, follows, with probably the poorest song of the lot, "The Greatest Love of All," ending the side. This song is familiar but I can’t quite place it. The chorus sounds like a cross between a Boz Scaggs song, and Gordon Lightfoot's "If You Could Read My Mind." "WindsQog," on side threee, displays Benson at his virtual best. Again, calling on the efforts of the entire band, this instrumental features a fluid guitar line aimed to stun, a Benson trademark. "Ode to Kudo", a song showing off Benson's acoustic achievements is also solid proof of Tommy LiPuma's spotless production. For a live album, the sound is surprisingly good. Benson, realizing his success directly attributable to a fine piece of Leon Russell music ('This Masquerade"), has included another Russell composition, "Lady This might be another gooif choice for a single, if, indeed, there is to be one. George Benson has been plucking guitar for quite some time. His efforts prior to Breezin' had established him in the uppermost jazz circles. With Breezin' and In Flight he won acceptance from the pop audience. It's nice to see talent as great as this, release a product that can satisfy both, and even impress both. Benson's sudden acclaim, peaking at this Roxy performance, is summed up exquisitely in "On Broadway": ... Music. As his concern grew, so too the intensof his message, yet it wilt become plain to anyone really listening (and to listen, you must hear, here) that more than mere intensity fills the ear with an aromatic air. This newest issue from ABC-1 mpulse bears this out bluntly. The original version of the suite Meditations (whose premiere brought Pharoah Saunders and Rashied All foreward), this is from the late 1965 recordings of the Cottrane Quartet. Anyone who needs more info than this had best get this album fast! It should be secured quickly anyhow, for this is Music that demands to be heard and not shuffle-butted or hidden. From the start the Quartet paints dramatic portraits of sky and step meeting like stormfronts in realization. Unlike the inevitable folly of human war. Nature's tempests can result in the relentless rains of Life and the rainbow representing the common bond of breaths to be drawn. Coltrane, on tenor saxophone, draws more than mighty breaths. ■ He soars forth with the tone solidity of a violin and the depth of one who has felt real pleasure and has known all-too-real pain. Human legacy at the crossroads, decisve delving. penetrating insight. True meditation. McCoy Tyner on piano unveils directional delicacy, a conductor of constructive spiritual might and lucidity. . . lacing umbilical cords loose with a tautness matched only by the bowman's accuracy of the master bassviolihist Jimmy Garrison, whose arrows sing of the outrageous fortune that integrity posesses. A quality some pay dearly for, these days. Elvin Jones invokes the rich flamboyance of our humanity. Thru him, the tom-toms truly cry and laugh in the ceremony of Nature's daily rituals, no mere act. Volcanoes' fury and wizard's humor come to play on the wings of pensive flight as the Quartet evokes the sheer dimensional power of True "Love" and "Compassion", as well as the "Joy" and "Consequences" one shall ever meet and/or deal with in achieving full "Serenity", one that enriches and does not entomb ("Joy", by the way, was replaced in the later Meditations as the suite was rearranged, the new beginning being the Genesis clarion call of 'The Father, The Son, And The Holy Ghost". Another recording of "Joy" can be heard on Coltrane's Infinity LP, and it would be interesting if ABC-1 mpulse could do what Verve did later with some Wes Montgomery tapes; to let one hear the original music of that album without the overdubbed strings.

Like many other UB students, 1 like to take of the discounts offered in the Dollars-Off book. One such alleged discount was offered by the Chicken Coop. The Chicken Coop’s coupon claimed that if you buy fifty chicken wings, they would charge you just $4.75 instead of the regular $5.50. I decided to take advantage of this, so my roommate and I ordered fifty chick wings each. But, much to our dismay, we were charged $11.22 with our coupons instead of $9.50 (which is what one advantage of alms To the Editor. would anticipate after reading the aforementioned facts, right?). When we asked if there was some mistake, the lady behind the counter said that the prices went up, and there’s simply nothing she could do about it. I’m not bitching about paying the extra $1.22; it’s the principle of the damn thing There’s false advertising involved here, so beware fellow students when you go to the Chicken Coop.

In that case, you psycho Delia, why not hold a referendum on the merits or lack thereof of slavery that question hasn’t been aired publicly since 1865; of more to the point, let’s get a consensus of student opinion on the resuscitation of Nazism?

In your case, it must have been — Guest Opinion by Richard Korman Special to The Spectrum I could not help but be baffled by the article about pot which appeared two weeks ago in The Spectrum. The article detailed the results of a Tulane Medical School experiment which found that smoking only half a joint a day may spare one the “lasting physiological damage to the brain” which results when an entire marijuana cigarette is smoked per day. The study, performed on rhesus monkeys, showed that after six months of abstinence the brain waves of heavy and moderate smoking primates remained disturbed. Additionally, the emotion controlling part of the brain which collects THC the active chemical in pot was still damaged. Changes in the nerve cells in this part of the brain could be responsible for the apathy associated with pot smokers, according to the study’s director. University - — The findings were revealed to a panel of scholars in New York which concluded that pot causes lasting harm even in moderate doses. The purported harmlessness of pot is a great myth, a panel member admonishes us, and SAT scores will remain low as long as students get high. Interestingly, the writer of the story in The Spectrum chose to undercut the study’s findings with argumentative quotations from the local champions of pot. The study furnishes potsmokers with a good technical account of the bumt-outedness which heavy toking seems to bring on But the dialogue between the champions and enemies of pot somehow misses the point. We know that pot smoking has its consequences. We also know the Tulane study notwithstanding pot is so minimally destructive that it is clearly the drug of choice, so to speak, in a world which cherishes escape and relaxation. Its superiority to alcohol in this respect needs no - - proof. * * • I have come far with pot and other drugs. I started smoking at 14 that was almost eight years ago, when pot still had that great togetherness of the youth movement. My friends and I experimented with drugs in automobiles, cruising slowly down the bumpy residential sidestreets of blue-collar Queens. We listened to tapes of The Who, Jimi Hendrix, and the Allman Brothers. It was a singularly hypnotizing — the latter. !’ve read William James’ cautious defense of drug-induced mystical and his experiences, account of classic mystical experience, facilitated my understanding of man and nature. There is a limit to this, though. Continued use of drugs, particularly pot, is not an open road to intellectual advance. Instead, it seems to aid thought most in the first few years of use when the smoker’s mind is young and fresh. After a while, it becomes just another high. For people my age, pot has outlasted its usefulness as an instrument of rebellion. Drugs were popularized in the ’60’s as part of a larger interest in exotic philosophies and altered states of consciousness. The emphasis has shifted from experimentation, to a drug’s capability to induce euphoria, reduce tension or enhance music, film or television. There is a significant minority of everyday marijuana users (and a smaller community of all-day everyday users) who mix and moderate highs with a minimum of personal destructiveness. It is sport to tackle stoned as many of life’s dreary redundancies as one can; smoking to alleviate boredom The is also common. only experimentation these days is with the affects of decadence, much of it based on the assumption that the good and the bad in life improve when high, and that the more drugs one’s constitution can withstand, the better. Marijuana is dangerous precisely because of its limitless vaunted harmlessness. It is easy to forget, especially in the more Bohemian circles of University society, that small amounts of marijuana are slightly incapacitating. Because it hinders us in such small ways, and because it adds a fascinating, cinematic quality to ordinary experience, we are tempted to try more and more of life high. We can drive safely (it’s true), we can talk to our parents, we can pass a chem hourly. We are not indifferent to the suffering of others just we are still thinking, feeling for being high human beings. But it’s still not quite the same even if we are only one per cent less alert. It is also easy to forget that marijuana, in spite of its defense as a more natural high, is part of a long line of technical incursions on the human mind and body which began in Western society with the Aspirin Age of the ’30’s. Although it is an - — herb which has been smoked for centuries, pot is another chemical which, in the words of one critic, “thingifics” human beings. It cannot be arbitrarily from an tihisti mines, separated antibiotics, amphetamines or barbituates. Potsmokers commonly belittle the sheer force of a habit and underestimate psychological atmosphere: tripping, drinking, smoking, driving dependency. True, there are many of us who can and listening to rock. I was crazier, more balance potsmoking with an energetic, productive spontaneous, more alive in those nights than I have life. But the apostles of pot cannot recognize that ever been since. It was the element in which I they have crossed over into dependency, at least flourished as an adolescent. I still like to cruise and for now. If pot became unavailable tomorrow they get high when I’m in Queens: only now, I’m would not wretch and yearn for it like a coke self-conscious about reverting to an old, exhausted fiend without his fix.

Spectrum in 1976-77. — — - Anyway, back to my idea that the issue should be nonexistent, or at least unthinkable. If you’ve got a vile Genesee Fart itching to get out in the open, do you raise a cheek and violate an entire lecture hall? Indeed by Jove, no. The correlation with the gun issue is obvious: a decision to arm our campus miscreants would detrimentally affect each and everyone of us in the same way that gasses fill their container, be it test tube or lecture hall. The Campus Security officers we’re forced to put up with now can’t even handle the responsibility of brandishing a nightstick, as was evinced by the brutal smashing of one student’s windshield on October 1st, 1976. When this student, a good friend of mine, complained to Director Griffin about the atrocity, he was curtly told, “You’re lucky they don’t have guns, he would have shot at you.” Is that the kind of mentality we want behind so many Smith & Weston’s? 1 hope not. 1 know this may be a tall order, Dennis, but in the future, do us all a favor and make a concerted effort to think before you speak. Thank you. • ,'V Kevin J. Whalen Bozos To the Editor It comes as no surprise to this individual that the administration is failing in its duty to operate this University with responsibility. Issues pointing to this lack of responsibility include the ID card situation last fall. It seems enough people were bitching but no one would admit fault for it. Also the Review Committee’s Report ( Spectrum Jan. 25, pg 1) stating that a sense of academic deterioration cannot be laid only to physical problems. The administration’s lack of responsibility had a part in its creation, but I’d like to see what they could do to turn it around. Now an item of personal consequence: The Financial Aid office left my loan , application sitting in its office for 10 weeks. That’s a lack of responsibility, it’s just that they are stupid bozos for forgetting. Wake up, you people in charge! In this day and age, we need administrators who are responsible to the modern university; here it seems they left responsibility to not only the students.

In Monday’s Blizzard edition of The Spectrum, had the audacity to place a full page advertisement urging dorm students to join “Your dorm student government that gives you more.” More of what? Maybe more lies: As an IRC member this year living on Main Street, IRC has had NONE of the following activities that they state they “give you:” parties, beer blasts, trips to Toronto, talent nights, buses to concerts, trips to Niagara Falls, happy hours, concerts, ice skating, roller skating and coffee houses. It’s bad enough that this organization did not do anything in Fall 1977, but printing falacies is a disgrace. 1 am personally aware that the Main Street Council was not to blame for last semester’s stagnation and so 1 hope that IRC’s Main Body who was at fault gets to work on making these lies into realistic truths for this Spring semester.

The experts have been saying that die next ice-age is approaching. Well, we don’t know for sure if that’s true but the climate over the world is changing, and it may very well be due to man’s activities. Until recently it was assumed that the degree that man changed the earth’s climate was negligible compared to natural phenomena such as forest fires and volcanic eruptions. But there is now evidence that man is changing local climates; this could later change world wide climates. For the past few hundred thousand years, the earth has undergone ice ages and warm interglacial periods. The Last ice age took place 8000 to 16,000 years ago. For the last 10,000 years global temperatures haven’t fluctuated much compared to earlier times, but there have been small changes. The overall average temperature for the northern hemisphere increased by about 0.6 degrees Celsius from 1880 to 1940, but between 1940 and the present, it dropped about 03 degrees. These minor changes may not seem like much, but they could signal the trend toward long range shifts. A mere three degree change in temperature could have a monumental effect across the globe. If the average temperature were to go up these three degrees, aO the world’s glaciers would start to melt. Those that melted would trigger a chain reaction and melt the rest. Consequently, all the world’s major cities which lie on coastlines would be flooded out. If the temperature went down three degrees, our oceans would start to freeze, and glaciers would begin to cover the world. Carbon dioxide was not always considered an air pollutant; but a natural component of the atmosphere that was cycled through air, water and plant and animal life by means of photosynthesis and respiration. Presently, carbon dioxide levels are increasing at a dangerously fast rate. As part of the natural carbon cycle, the ocean dissolves about half its carbon in two to five years. Without this factor, levels of carbon dioxide would have plants and trees on earth, yet man has been clearing more and more land for housing and industrialization. Even if man were not doing this, three billion acres of new forests would be needed each year to absorb the carbon dioxide man makes each year by burning fossil fuel such as coal and oil. Incoming sunlight is made up of ultraviolet light, visible light, and infra-red radiation. The ozone layer filters out ultraviolet light, and carbon dioxide and water vapor filter out infra-red radiation. It’s mostly visible light that enters our atmosphere and is absorbed by sea, land and clouds. The earth radiates this light back into the atmosphere as long-wave heat. Carbon dioxide, like the glass in a greenhouse, acts as a one way filter and allows visible light to enter while preventing long-wave heat radiation from escaping. Thus, if the carbon dioxide level increases, more heat radiation will be trapped, and the average global temperature will rise. Consumption It is predicted that by the year 2050, the carbon dioxide levels in our atmosphere will double. This could raise temperatures by two degrees only one degree away from that disastrous triggering level. If the three degree level is reached, the self-amplifying melt of Arctic and Antarctic ice would be set in motion, irreversible for millions of years. Then 20 percent of our planet’s land, including most of our cities, would be consumed by the ocean. —continued on page 10 — i he question or guns for University Police President Robert Ketter is among those who oppose the arming of University Police officers. Assistant to the President Ron Stein said, “The President is not convinced that University Police should be armed.” Kctter’s opinion is consistent with previous statements he has made on this subject. As early as 1972,Ketter said, “I would like to see a program where we can explore alternative methods of law enforcement.” The President is the only individual who can permit University Police officers to carry guns. A referendum on arming will accompany the Student Association in March. The University Police Administration remains tight-lipped on this issue. Director Lee Griffen offered a terse , “no comment” on the subject, saying that his opinion had been made clear in the past. Assistant Director Jack Eggert replied in the same fashion. Irt 1972, Griffen said, “It is immoral to expect an unarmed officer to go up against someone who is armed. It is no longer correct to think of the University as the protective little womb and it is difficult to fight crime without the necessary backup.” Student Association (SA) President Dennis Delia said he sponsored the referendum to “find our student opinion.” Student opinion has been expressed on the issue. Stephen Bogorad commented, “It’s, like giving a child a car. It only invites trouble.” The sentiment of many students was echoed by Laura Schoeneman when she said, “I don’t think there is enough danger present in the University that would warrant Police carrying guns.” guidance •>•r •J, '■ ’’ ‘ ■r *’ University Placement A Career Guidance Career Search Workshop Job Interview for a position in huameas/iadnatry (A video taped interview will be shown and discussed.)

Brawny NFL linebackers have reportedly been reduced to sniveling cowards upon hearing this innocent phrase. What images does your imagination bring into play upon hearing “Winter in Buffalo?” First and foremost, snow comes to mind, swirling, tumbl down from the sky in drifts. Then the intense cold, bitter and unmerciful, freezing fingers, toes and an occasional nose. Most despicable of all, that damned wind never seems to stop, so numbing and so piercing that your parka seems about as effective as a set of mesh underwear. “Why didn’t I go to school somewhere warm, like the University of Anchorage?” may one ask himself. And so, dread winter settles into Buffalo. Being hearty and robust students, we do what any self-respecting brown bear would do retreat indoors and hibernate. Lethargically hanging around rooms or apartments, watching the white stuff placidly accumulate on the rooftops, we smoke a few joints or drink a few beers or both. Then for the sheer physical exertion it affords, we rip open a package of Twinkies with our bare hands.

Buffalo had trailed by seven with under four minutes to go, but held Canisius scoreless the rest of the way. The two teams now own identical 6-4 records. The win was in sharp contrast to a game Saturday at Ithaca, when the Royals threw away several chances to tie the score in the final minute. “The Ithaca game gave us the experience,’’ said Buffalo co-captain Paula Hills. “We knew what we had tc do this time.” The comeback began when UB forward Pam Lerminiaux hit a jumper to cut the Griffins’ lead to five. Then Frazier scored on a jump shot, and Hills hit on a sweeping hook shot, assisted nicely by forward Dottie Holtz. Full court pressure Canisius got the ball with 45 seconds left, leading by one. They tried to use as much time as possible, but guard Annette Sieracki missed an off-balance shot as the 30 second clock was down. The rebound came down into the hands of Buffalo guard Kris Schum and Griffin center Pat Aronson. Neither player controlled the tip, and the ball went to Frazier, who scored the winning basket. Full-court pressure by the Royals forced Canisius to throw the ball away, securing the win. Earlier, Buffalo had taken a three point halftime lead, thanks largely to a three-guard offense Buffalo had a lot of trouble rebounding only Lerminiaux was effective off the boards in the early going so Buffalo’s three guards, Schum, Frazier and Marybeth MacLean found a new way to start the break; the steal. With Schum and Frazier acting as the head thieves and MacLean providing some pretty driving shots, Buffalo outscored Canisius 10-1 during one stretch in the first running — - half. Slow feet Part of the problem with rebounding was that Buffalo had returned at four in the morning from Cortland and was physically exhausted. “I was really tired,” Lerminiaux said “We weren’t boxing out.” Hills also felt that Buffalo’s physical condition caused them to commit more fouls than usual “We were slower on our feet,” Hills noted. “We committed more fouls because we weren’t moving we were trying to play defense with our hands instead of our feet.” Buffalo’s big rcbounders, Lilley center Janet and Lerminiaux were in foul trouble throughout most of the game. Canisius, which was playing without injured star center Carcn Jackimiak, found a suitable replacement in freshman Aronson, who scored 34 points, bewildering the Buffalo defense with a combination of inside muscle and nothing-but-net outside shooting. Aronson also had 17 rebounds, and was the key to Canisius’ second half surge. Hills was the Royals’ high scorer with 18, followed by Schum’s 16 and Frazier’s 10. Buffalo had a rough night at Cortland Monday, losing 98-65 in the first round of the Manufacturers Hanover Invitational. UB coach Liz Counsins, however, was proud of the fact that UB held Red Dragons ten points under their season’s average. She also noted that the Royals scored more points against them than any other area team. Buffalo center Lilley had an outstanding game with 26 points and 21 rebounds. - Lilley is currently tenth in the state in rebounding. The Royals will face Big Four rival Niagara tomorrow night at Clark Hall at 7 p.m. The men’s basketball team, struggling along with a 2-13 record, will face the University of Maine tonight at 8 p.m. The Bulls lost to Maine last year, and will be trying to break a six game losing streak. Recently, guard Ed Johnson and forward Larry Jones have been red hot for the Bulls, bringing their season’s average to 18.0 and 16.3 respectively. Saturday, three sports will be in action at 2 p.m. The wrestlers, who lost to the top-ranked team in the state, Syracuse, will play Bloomsbuig State in the main gymnasium. The Bulls have relied heavily on “Death Row” this year, i.e. their upper weights, beginning with 158 pounder Kirk Anderson. The grapplers are 5-3 so far this year. Different strokes v The fencers, Buffalo’s only co-ed team, will be at home against Colgate in the basement of Clark Hall at 2 p.m. The fencers defeated RIT last weekend and they will be making their first home appearance in two years (they were not a varsity team last year). In Clark Pool, Buffalo’s men’s swimming team will host Alfred. Recently, the Bulls have been getting outstanding performances out of diver Mike Doran and all-purpose swimmer JimBrenner. Finally, at 7 p.m., the women’s basketball team will play Big Four rival Niagara. Last year, the Purple Eagles finished last in the Big Four, but several recruits have made them a much improved team. Buffalo has been led by sophomore forward Paula Hills and freshman center Janet Lilley, who is currently tenth in the state in rebounding. And, if for some reason, you don’t feel like traveling all the way in to Clark Hall, the UB Frisbec team will take on RIT and Camegie-Mellon at the Bubble Saturday. Tennis tourney The Department of Recreation is sponsoring a Kg Four Open Tennis Championship at the Bubble on February 18, 19 and 20 at 12 noon. The tournament, which includes men’s and women’s singles and doubles categories, ia open to students, faculty and staff members of the Big Four Schools (Buffalo, Buffalo State, Ntagcta and Cardans).

They say that the atmosphere may be cooling rather than heating because of increasing amounts of soot, dust and other solid and liquid particles going into ‘he earth’s atmosphere. such as smokestacks, Man-made sources and clearing of land burning and the automobiles, for agricultural and urban use are to blame as well as natural sources: volcanoes, forest fires and dust J storm*. — ' - • Water vapor tends to condense around dust particles. If there is more pollution, there are more particles, more water drops, and more clouds, Excessive clouds can surround the earth and prevent die sun’s rays from entering the atmosphere Clouds have a high albedo, so they would reflect all the heat and light back into outer space; then the earth Would cool. Thus, particle pollution may bring on the next ice-age. Of vital concern to man and all other life on earth is the presence of the ozone layer. The ozone layer exists in the atmosphere about 12 to 35 miles up. It serves as a shield, protecting the earth’s surface from most of the ultraviolet radiation found in the aim’s rays. If these rays readied the earth in full intensity, all life would be radiated and destroyed. Man is destroying this protective layer with the at an altitude of about the stratosphere of the layer. The exhaust emissions of the SST’s i in time alter the composition of the stratosphere, and possibly the ozone layer. This would not only affect life, but change the climate. It is predicted that the operation of a fleet of 500 SST’s could halve the amount of ozone in our atmosphere within one year, Another threat to the ozone layer is through the release of aerosol sprays, which contain compounds called fluorocarbons. Molecules of fluorocarbons drift upward to the stratosphere and absorb radiation. They arc then decomposed, releasing chlorine which attacks molecules of ozone, To exist is to heat the atmosphere. Taking breaths, moving your arm, driving a car, switching on lights; all add heat to our environment. The man induced heat in the environment s dependent upon three factors the number of energy users, the amount of energy used, and the efficiency of energy conversion. The more the population increases, the more heat that will be created. This is called thermal pollution. Thermal pollution is already altering the weather of urban regions, and could alter world wide climate patterns directly; from the heat-carbon dioxide content. The heat limit of the earth’s atmosphere and how much time it will take to reach this limit is not exactly known. Every American is now injecting into the environment a heat load equivalent to 125 hundred watt light bulbs burning continuously, and the energy use of the United States is increasing rapidly. Climatologists theorize that the graph of the earth’s climate is like a sine wave on a sine wave. Presently we might be going down from a crest to a trough of the small sine wave, as temperatures are presently dropping. Yet, on the overall sine wave, we have no idea where we are and whether we’re going up or down. The small amount of evidence available shows that man is drastically changing the climate in urban areas, and may soon affect the climate over the entire world. Steps for prevention must start now, for once changes initiate, they will be impossible to stop for millions of years. could In still another way. man might be heating the earth,’* temperature. The percentage of short wave radiation reflected back by the earth’s surface is called die “albedo.” This is an important property because it determines how fast the surface heats up. The albedo of water, for example is very high as it does not reflect much light. Snow and ice, on the other hand, do. Deserts usually have a high albedo, but man has been irrigating them and planting crops, thus reducing the albedo while increasing the amount of heat that the earth absorbs. Urbanization and de-forestation will also lower albedo, raise temperatures and flood the world.

Delia to bring issue to vote by Daniel S. Parker Campus Editor Student Association President Dennis Delia announced at a Student Senate meeting Monday that he will bring to student vote the question of arming University Police. The referendum, which will be decided March 1-3, was one of four non-binding referenda announced by Delia at the sparsely attended meeting on Monday. Delia explained that he is not taking a position, saying, “I just wanted to find out what students want. The question of arming University Police has not been raised publicly since 1975.” SA Acting Executive Vice President Jeff Lessoff explained that the President of SA has the right to bring anything he wants to a student referendum. Said Lessoff, “As far as Dennis is concerned, these resolutions are just student opinion polls. 1 think it’s the most idiotic thing that I ever heard in my life. They are not policemen and I don’t think that they’ve gone through the proper training to carry guns. I don’t remember him asking the Executive Committee, but he doesn’t have to.” The President speaks The other three referenda, to be brought to student vote in March are: Should the mandatory student activity fee be increased to $70 for every student except freshmen? (Freshmen currently pay $70.) Should this University have a “Spring Weekend”? Be it resolved that the Faculty Senate and — - Committee on Curricular Structure be condemned for the manner in which they conducted their study and adapted the Report.

Carter’s budget reviewed “Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is High military costs Underfunding 1. for Domestic As President Carter pointed Programs out, “resources are limited and government not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat its »bhi tfiirmtwmfTrr m or scientists, the hopes of its children . Dwight Eisenhower “America’s greatest enemy lies in the ” ., poverty and degradation of its people. We must get our priorities straight If the main enemy and dangers are within, then the main money should be spent within, rather than on armaments. " Detroit Mayor Coleman Young Jimmy Carter promised in his presidential campaign to reduce military spending by $5-7 billion. Contained within his new $500 billion FY7$ budget, revealed to the public on Monday, January 23, is a request for a record high $115.2 billion for the Department of Defense. This represents a $9.9 billion increase in military spending over the current fiscal year, or, after inflation allowances are made, a three percent increase in real spending for the military. President Carter’s FY79 budget thus represents a broken promise. In his inaugural speech. President Carter said that he would work for a world with “zero nuclear weapons.” However, his budget for FY79 fuels the arms race by continuing to fund a U.S. strategic arms buildup. While our nation’s strategic strike force is projected to remain constant with regard to the number of land-based and sea-based missiles, Carter is proposing dangerous costly and qualitative “improvements” — including continued development of the Cruise missile and construction of an addition billion dollar Trident submarine. In presenting his new budget to the public and the Congress, President Carter remarked “the first complete budget of a new administration is its most important. It is the administration’s first full statement of its priorities, policies and proposals for meeting our nation’s needs.” Unfortunately, Carter’s FY79 budget is not much different than the FY78 budget it inherited from the Ford Administration last January. While Carter contends that his FY79 budget is “realistic, responsible and responsive to our nation’s critical needs,” it calls for excessive levels of military spending while slighting programs to meet human needs. In particular, it should be noted that Carter’s new budget contains no - must discipline expenditures and trying to balance budget, high and increasing levels military spending have a direct impact the ability of the federal government 1 the of on to fund needed programs for the po6r and the elderly. Money spent on Trident submarines, for instance, could be spent on care, health housing, education, community development, public transportation, energy conservation, pollution control, the development of safe (non-nuclear) energy sources,'and programs to revitalize the cities and reduce unemployment. Three years ago, the Common Council of the City of Buffalo went on record against the B-l bomber system. the $S0 billion B-l bomber system would have cost the taxpayers of Buffalo $11.7 million a year over a ten-year gum was the same amount as the revenue sharing funds that then were being used to start up community development corporations within the city. The Council recognized dwjfradeoff between Under, the of leadership then-councilman William Price, the Council became aware of the incredibly high cost of modern weapon systems. In particular. tmUsto"ofB^* lP to programs for the cities. • Rnn-away shop Loss of Jobs 2. — High levels of military spending also contribute to unemployment by promoting a foreign policy that lends itself to the run-away shop. U.S. corporate investment overseas between 1966 and 1973 resulted in a net job less for Americans of over a million jobs, according to a recent State • - * — if • . n# new broad social initiatives to rebuild cities and combat poverty. ■ by Walter Simpson Special to The Spectrum A .*1^ 0* High levels of military spending cost us jobs in at least two ways. First, weapons spending is capital intensive, rather than labor intensive. It takes about $50,000 to create one job building weapons. In contrast, according to figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, it takes about $30,000 to create a job in housing, $25,000 to create a job in the health, welfare and sanitation area, and only $20,000 to create a job in education. Thus, while weapons spending creates jobs, it also creates unemployment; it represents a net loss of jobs when compared to other kinds of spending. plants in countries like Taiwan, South Korea and the Philippines. These countries are run by dictators with an iron hand. Commentary They maintain a favorable investment climate for American corporations by suppressing unions, banning strikes and keeping wages and corporate taxes extremely low. How do these dictators stay in power? The U.S. supports them with foreign aid and the presence of the U.S. military. (Priorities Action Guide 1978, Coalition for a New Foreign and Military 120 Maryland Policy, Ave., NE, Washington, D.C.) Studies have shown that redirecting resources away from military spending will result in gn improved economy and a net increase in jobs. For instance, a recent study of the Philadelphia area economy conducted by University of Pennsylvania professor N. Glickman concludes that a $100 million transfer from regional military spending to regional revenue sharing funds would provide a big boost to the local economy. The economy would produce $70 million more in goods and services and 10,000 more jobs after such a transfer. (See “Does Military Spending Create More Jobs?” by Michael Edelstein; reprint available from the Council on Economic Priorities, 84 Fifth Ave., New York, N.Y. 10011.) U.S. leader 3. The Continued Dangers of the Arms Race At this moment in history we are all held hostage by the nuclear arms race. There is no known defense against nuclear missiles, both the Soviet Union and the United States could incinerate each other within a matter of hours. While a few hundred warheads would pose an adequate - both superpowers have accumulated of thousands such instruments. The United States is and has historically been the leader in this race which no one —continued on page 2— �Carter’s budget can win. While the Soviet Union only has about 200 cities with a population of 100,000 or more, we. have nearly 10,000 strategicw warheads, some as much as a as the single Hiroshima, '' " ' " ' Mi V , security lies in a perpetuating important that disarmament race and to toward the nuclear weapons.” 'teral initiatives (given the “overkill” that we budget calls for Instead, valuable expended on new, systems such the Trident ' and T> previously it their —continued from po«o 1— ... perpetuate a foreign and military policy that supports dictators in many Third World countries such as South Korea. Indonesia, the Philippines, Iran and many latin American countries. Much of Carter’s proposed military budget is for projecting U S. power and influence overseas. As such, it is a misnomer to refer to the military budget as a “defense” budget. Part of the expenditures reflect legitimate defense needs; however, like the unnecessary expenditures that would increase our unneeded nuclear overkill capacity, the Carter budget calls for billions of dollars for expansive foreign troop deployments and covert CIA operations that are not necessary for the defense of the United States. If we adopt a non-interventionist foreign policy,, and thus, redefine U.S. military policy so that it serves only defense purposes, billions of dollars would be saved and the world-wide reputation of the United States as a defender (as opposed to a subverter) of human rights would be enhanced. S. The Perpetuatii ■*/ Deficit Spending The Carter budget for FY79 projects an $973.7 billion national debt by the end of FY79. During the next fiscal year, $48.99 billion, or nearly 10 percent of the federal budget, will have to be spent to cover interest on this debt. As deficit spending continues, more and more money will be siphoned away from other programs to pay this interest. The arms race, war and continued high levels of military spending contribute to die national debt. Since WWII the United States has spent over $ 1.7, trillion on the military. The Vietnam war alone cost the United States over 50,000 lives and $150 billion. Continued military spending far in excess of what is needed for legitimate defense purposes compounds debt related problems. - Transfer amendments The Western New York Peace Center in Western New York to call for new national priorities. In particular, support the urges all individuals and groups following: The Transfer Amendment an 1. amendment to the federal Budget , Resolution that would transfer funds from the military to spending to meet human needs. 2. The McGovern-Methias Conversion Bill, which would provide relief and restraining for workers displaced by weapon contract cancellations. It would also establish local conversion planning boards in communities with weapons plants. These boards, comprised of representatives from labor, management and the surrounding community, would devise a program for converting plant facilities to useful civilianpreduction in the event of cancelled contracts.

Tests by Don Shore Spectrum Staff Writer The two-credit Physical Education requirement for freshmen at this University is balancing on a beam with an over-demand for classes on one side and limited facilities on the other. “We cannot meet the demand,” said Acting Dean of Undergraduate Education Walter Kunz about the number of students wishing to take gym classes. The future of the Physical Education requirement was put in question last year when a high demand for gym courses and limited facilities restricted seniors from completing the requirement within four years The two-credit requirement has been reinstated for only this year’s freshmen. “The problem will definitely reoccur,” said Coordinator of Basic Instruction for the Department of Recreation, Athletics and Related Instruction (RAR1) Viola Dicbold. Diebold believes the problem will be “worse than before, unless a better way is found.” One possible solution would be to increase credit for contact hours in gym courses, said Diebold. “This is the only way this problem can be solved. Because of many factors, it is becoming harder for a student to take a gym course.” She cited the inflexibility of most students’ schedules, the unreliability of the Bubble, and the concentration of facilities on the Main Street Campus, along with the relocation at Amherst as contributing to the problem. Kunz believes that increasing credit for contact hour in gym courses will be a superficial solution and hardly “pract.cal.” He sees this proposal as “flying in the face of the Carnegie Unit.” The Carnegie Unit, recently reaffirmed by the Faculty-Senate’s Report on Curricular Structure, stipulates that one semester hour of credit will be given for fifteen sessions of 50 minutes duration in a class, requiring two hours outside preparation. Tests conducted by laboratory Kunz explained the rationale for reinstating the requirement after technicians for the Erie County having waived it for all the rest of the students as “giving us some Health have Department breathing room.

He added that the increase in the number of X grades last semester should stand as evidence to the ineffectiveness of the policy. Kazarinoff, on the other hand, felt that only a small percentage of students disagree with the change. “More than a majority of the students do not think it Is a bad policy.

NFG consumers rally for payment boycott ' In a move designed to force the National Fuel Gas Company (NFG) to sit down and discuss constant rising gas rates, the Citizens Alliance Group launched a one-hundred day boycott of bill payment by the consumers of the Western New York area. This action, effective immediately, was initiated at a three hour rally held in the Buffalo A. Erie County Public Library’s Auditorium Saturday afternoon, January 28, 1978. yi The goal of the boycott' is to have consumers of the services of '• ■ , National Fuel Gas send their payments and bills to the Citizens Alliance, in order to raise $500,000 to be put into an account. This goal, if reached, would provide a very strong negotiating advantage to the group. The one-hundred days was chosen because the gas company starts to shut off service to area residents in one-hundred-five days, leaving the Alliance an extra five days to take alternative action should the goal fail. The Citizens Alliance, oo-headed by Arthur Pellnat, of Schiller Park Organized Taxpayers, is designed to unite government, churches, and citizen groups to “wage a war” on the gas company and force them to listen to the demands. According to James Catalano, a speaker at the rally and a member of Neighborhood Information Committee, the only way to make NFG listen is to “hit them where it hurts, the pocket.” Catalano went on to say that by doing so, the boycott would ruin NFG’s budgetary plans, making their cash flow quite a bit tighter, and hopefully short. The action would force the gas company to be in need of the revenues from the withheld bills, and in order to obtain these funds, they would have to sit down at the bargaining table, Catalano added. The demands of the Citizens Alliance Group include: Withdrawal of the proposed $6.7 million dollar rate increase expected within the early part of the year; a $10 dollarrebate to all of its residential customers (which was granted to customers in other parts of the state by three other gas companies); a moratorium on service shut-offs during the winter months (November thru April); a price cut on synthetic gas(SNG);a more flexible policy on billing for those in the fixed income bracket; adherence to the monthly meter reading policy ; acceptance of the net amount on past gas bills as a settlement with the Gtizens Alliance. r0 TTENTtON:• For ferns from the The Graduate Student Research Grant Jewish Bible applications are now available in the GSA Phone 875-4265 office, 103 Talbert Hall.

However, Bunn failed to put a definite time limit of his implementation on proposals and the issue of minimum remains stipends unsettled, according to President of the Graduate Student Association (GSA) R. Nagarajan. The committee comprised predominantly of administrators took a firm “no exceptions” stand of minimum stipends. Bunn, however, seeks a much more liberal policy, allowing stipend adjustment “to reflect differing levels of responsibility.” This conflict, coupled with Bunn’s failure to set down implementation times, has led to dissatisfaction among graduate students with Bunn’s response. The Academic Affairs Advisory Committee on Graduate and Teaching Assistantships was commissioned by Bunn last Spring to examine certain issues of concern to TAs and GAs. The committee recommended a minimum of $2800 to be eestablished no later than Spring 1978. Bunn, in his reply to the committee’s recommendations 11, amended this January proposal by permitting adjustments of stipends “to less Affairs - - than under $2800 certain circumstances.” Bunn could not be reached this past week for comment due to illness. faculty and administration members and three graduate students, sent its recommendations to Bunn last August. Recomme ndations the in Report included the following: an increase in the maximum stipend from $3905 to $5500, a definitive affirmative action program, the creation of a University-wide Advisory Standing Committee responsible to the Graduate Dean, to University review and departmental policies relative to assistantships, and to serve as a grievance committee for TAs and GAs. According to Nagarajan, at the time of the threatened strike last Spring, 70 percent of the TAs and GAs received stipends of less than $3200 and 50 percent received lass than $2600. Another current objective of the GSA, says Nagarajan, “is to get more of a graduate student departmental and voice in University-wide policy making and implementation concerning GAs and TAs.” The committee report encourages but does not the participation of require graduate students in policy-making. Moreover, the committee did not recommend that a newly created Standing Committee be given the power to Near strike hand out the TA and GA The stipend issue came to a assignments.

Bare minimum Magarajan believes the proposals of the Bunn Committee, which he claims are largely based on a GSA working paper, were the minimum levels that a graduate student needs to survive and that less would anything be “unacceptable.” According to Nagarajan, “The administration is trying to take the position that stipends are both scholarships and payment for servides received.” “We do not care whether it is one way or the other, but we cannot permit the administration to use both perspectives simultaneously to its advantage. Given this understanding, I cannot see any justification for faculty, school, or graduate student preferences for assistantship levels below $2800. “It strikes me as the only way the whole idea of minimum assistantship levels can be jeopardized.” While Nagarajan disdained any public action at the present time, he claimed that there would be student reaction if an acceptable plan is not implemented soon.

Due to student concern. Student Association (SA) representatives at Binghamton urged restaurant officials to change the area’s franchise name to the “Jolly Tiger” because they claimed “Sambo” has “racist connotations.” According to Sambo’s officials, the restaurant’s name was derived from the names of Sam D. Battistone and F. Newell Bohnett, company co-chairpersons. But some think that the name was derived from “The Story of Little Black Sambo,” a 77 year-old children’s book that has been condemmed by some as “racially demeaning and derogatory to blacks.” Some of the original restaurants in the 20 year-old chain were decorated with scenes from the children’s story; the motif of the tiger who chased Sambo through the woods is still used today on menus and other decor. A definite decision Historically, “Sambo” was a derogatory stereotype depicting the Divil War slave as ignorant, mischievous, sub-human and lustful. Historians and psychologists call this the “sham characteristic” which maintains, “Even though a person or a group of people may not possess these degrading characteristics, they purposely take them on in order to escape degredation and physical injury or harm.” There is some concern that the name change may induce financial losses. Sambo’s has a national reputation and ad campaign while Jolly Tiger Restaurants, a subsidiary chain of Sambo’s does not. Nonetheless, the Binghamton based franchise “has definitely made a decision to change its name ‘Sambo’s’ to ‘The Jolly Tiger,’ and new signs and new menus have been ordered to effectuate the change of that restaurant,” according to a restaurant official. A Sambo’s advertising agent said, “The restaurant name was not intended as a racial slur.” He added that the “company runs successful Sambo’s Restaurants in Los Angeles, where there is a large black population as well as a black mayor.” However, rising concern has caused name and decor changes at Sambo’s in and about New York State and at other outlets around the country. These “new” Jolly Tiger restaurants have different menus and the dining atmosphere is more elaborate than Sambo’s. A representative from the national food chain said, “Jolly Tiger restaurants do not make money and the company is thinking of abandoning them.” Owners of the Buffalo area franchises said they have “no intentions of changing their names to Jolly Tiger” and reported that they had no knowledge of the situation in Binghamton. Students at this University have mixed emotions about the restaurant name “Sambo’s.” One student claimed it “was very derogatory. I’m glad someone is trying to change the name.” Another student said, “The name never occurred to me as being racist.” Many students agreed, however that “The Jolly Tiger” is just as bad a name. Summing it up, one student responded, “1 couldn’t care less about the name -Leah B. Levine - Wednesday, 1 February 1978 The Spectrum . Page seven . , �EDITORIAL Military vs. jobs President Jimmy Carter is thinking ahead. The budget he proposed for 1979, released to the public last Monday, is a most complicated document not easily read and definitely not easily understood. But if the success of his term as President is judged by the smoothness of the American economy, as outlined in his budget, and not by new, more efficient programs cutting bureaucratic waste and redirecting national priorities, Carter could get reelected President in 1980. Carter's budget reflects his own priorities and those of the officials closest to him. It lacks "large, dramatic new social initiatives" and a "radical departure from Republican budgets of the past eight years/' according to such experts as Hedrick Smith, former Moscow bureau chief of the New York Times. Although he promised to cut military spending by $5—7 billion during his campaign, the proposed new defense budget of $115.2 billion represents an increase of more than three percent over the current fiscal year. Much of this money will go to NATO reinforcements in Europe and will probably lead to a similar buildup of troops, weapons, missies and airplanes on the part of European countries. Of major interest to universities across the country should be the small increase in support of scientific and technological research and development. Of the total outlay of $27 billion, more than $13 billion will be spent by the military. .Much of this money will be allocated as research grants to major universities. With more than half of the $2 billion increase in funding going to the military, a small increase in the amount of military research done on college campuses will result not enough to set an entire generation on fire, but of some significance nonetheless. Although sharp increases were granted the newly formed Department of Energyin theory to finance solar energy projects, the figures belay the intent of the program. While research into solar electricity is given a boost, funds for the demonstration of the more developed technology of solar heating are cut. In addition, department officials felt that commerctally viable technologies should be developed privately rather than by the government. Most of the research on solar energy currently being done is paid for by grants from those producers of this earth's major source of energy, the oil companies. Solar energy installations could presently be designed based on knowledge already gained, but they won't be because the patents are held by those whose best interests are not represented by solar energy. On the bright side, arts and humanities received an additional $51 million, much of which will filter down to the university level.

President In a receftt letter to the Editor someone wrote of “the way The Spectrum has been harping on 'University deterioration’.” She continues, saying that “reading about deterioration” is not helping her “enthusiasm toward my school any ,..” She finds, “UB is great! So is Buffalo. Let’s hear about the good side of life here.” Well, to be enthusiastic about something, it might be better to know about that something, and we are learning in the recent evaluation reports (which show the tip of an iceberg), the critique of the “shallow seventies” and disco music by Tom Dooney, the articles on Senate Bill SI437 (like the old SI), what’s going on in city politics, and the and forth on the article in The Delia’s adjustment politics and the quality of journalism exhibited there. With these, 1 find at liast an attempt to first of all get clear on what is, and that is more important now than ever since the jhist (the late 60’s among other things) is being increasingly forgotten. The present situation of educational, economic and social restriction and cultural affirmation and obfuscation for which the Ketter administration here is greatly responsible, has its roots in the past. At least we are trying to leam our history. What’s happened since 1970 is not unique to our campus. But the facts should be known. continuing back Reporter praising Ketter the formed 1970 to try legal cases against the leftist students after the big strike.in February and March of that year. Shortly thereafter he was made President by the Trustees. Since then the major educational advances achieved in the late 60’s through efforts of students then to merely democratize the University, have been for the most part abolished. Classes are getting larger, taking tutorials is. hindered, faculty, when not retrenched become often entrenched. There’s the 4-year rule for funding of grad students and we have to teach more and take courses where enrollments are slipping, the Administration has veto power over our student fees . .. (Oh, I forgot; “UB is great!”) Before 1970, The Spectrum, almost every year, won national journalism awards for its reporting. (Remember the secret letter from an administration lawyer to the President on how to get about ten of us expelled legally and that that was the centerfold in an issue in 1969, or The Spectrum EXTRA of February 26, 1970 with the first reports on the immediate action leading to the strike, or the reports on the “Gelbaum Plan” of 1972 that was in fact the blueprint for the current situation academically, etc., administrative-faculty committees in Free games To the Editor On Saturday, January 28, a few of us students tried to go to the Wilkeson game room to play table tennis but found we could not get into the game room unless we went through the Pub and paid the $1 admission charge The game room up until now ha* always been free and now we are told that this new policy will be effective for the rest of the semester We don’t feel we should be charged admission simply to play table tennis on the only decent tables in the Ellicott Complex, or to play foosball which we already have to pay for. This also makes it impossible for the students here who are not eighteen to get in. We think that this unfair policy should be changed immediately and the back door to the game room should be reopened for people who just want to have some fun and not pay for a band we are not particularly interested in hearing. People should not have to pay twice for their entertainment. etc., etc.?) I say right-on to the “remembrance of things for a new future and different present! Carl Sehmidtmann Curt Becker Pat Chin Ira Gardner past” Terry Keegan Guest Opinion by Clearwater inherent in his or her relationship to the master or owner We’ve all heard about the sexual revolution, but has there really been one? Have we, especially the younger members a undergone of society, transformation of attitudes and behavior regarding love and sex? I’ve come to doubt it. Recently, I asked students in a class of mine whether they thought it was possible or desirable to love, in an intimate, erotic sense, more than One person at a time. To my surprise, without exception the class members indicated that they were not sure that it was possible. I was even more surprised when I realized that no one in the class (except myself) thought it would be desirable. Sexual revolution?! Everyone’s beliefs seemed to agree with long' established convention. In particular, they were committed to monogamy. Much has been said about the virtues of monogamyi We hear that monogamous relationships are not only the most satisfying, but that they are also the only form relationships of love and sex can take if they are to be moral. People who are not monogamous are usually looked down upon. Their activities are categorized as bad; even when they are not charged with outright sinfulness, it is assumed that they are “promiscuous” or “playing around” or somehow “cheating.” 1 would like to present another view, namely, the view that monogamy is bad. In taking this position, 1 would like the reader to know that 1 am not recommending casual sex or one-night stands as a substitute for commitment, believe that we constrained by serious love relationships that involve and permanence. Rather, I can maintain these values without being loyalty, monogamy. Exclusive ownership By definitipn, a monogamous relationship is an exclusive one. Two people promise to love and share sexual and other intimacies only with each other. Through monogamy, the lovers come to exist only for each other; that is, they form a bond of mutual ownership. They say* to each other, “I am yours” and “You are mine.” Each becomes the other’s possession. Thus, monogamous lovers tend to be possessive and shelter each other's lives. This may feel good, especially when lovers protect and look after each other; but it can also be stifling. Love should enhance the humanity of lovers, but here we can see how monogamy can be dehumanizing. One of the most dehumanizing things that can happen in a marriage, for instance, is wife-beating. Would this kind of physical violence be as likely to occur if the husband did not regard his wife as his, that is, as his property to use and abuse as he sees fit? Actual physical violence is, of course, an extreme form of dehumanization; but other, lesser forms are pervasive relationships. monogamous in Psychologically, being regarded as and coming to regard oneself as another's property is dehumanizing in itself. The slave may come to accept and even enjoy being possessed, but that does not mitigate the violence Dependency and unreasonable expectations As expressed in popular songs, lovers often want to be everything for each other. Each wants to be the other’s world. This, I think, is a reflection of our monogamous bias. In an exclusive relationship, lovers depend entirely on each other for the satisfaction of certain basic human needs. These include their needs for intimacy, love, and sex. They may also include their needs for respect, appreciation, and companionship. But it is unreasonable and unfair to expect one other person to do and to be so much for us. Yes, lovers want and should be able to satisfy each other, but they should not compromise themselves in doing so. The choice for lovers is clear: they can collapse into one another of they can stand independently. They can acquiesce to a state of perpetual childhood, each acting parentally toward the other, or they can grow up. They can become “a couple” or they can allow and help each other to become fully functioning individuals. My own preference is that lovers live their own lives, maintaining their integrity as individuals by being more independent, self-directing, and self-reliant than is traditional. Excessive and dependency unreasonable are destructive because they lead to mutual frustrations, resentments, and feelings of inadequacy. Even if it were desirable, it probably would be nearly impossible for one person to be everything for another. And if we expect the impossible, we will be disappointed and frustrated. Eventually, we will come to resent the beloved for failing to satisfy us. However, the victimization of the beloved goes beyond the pain inflicted by our resentment. The beloved may internalize our unreasonable expectations and not being able to completely satisfy our needs for intimacy, love, and sex feel like a failure. Guilt and self-hatred naturally accompany these feelings of inadequacy. The resentment then becomes mutual; a vicious circle of bad feeling poisons the relationship and generates unhappiness for the lovers. How much more rational it would be to reach out to a number of different people for the satisfaction of basic social needs. We might still have a central, primary relationship; however, this relationship would be open. We would not be monogamous. expectations - - Deception and rejection Let’s now consider the dilemma we face when we are involved in a monogamous relationship and at the same time become attracted to someone else. Suppose we want to pursue a new relationship. What are our options? One option is to enter into the new relationship under false pretenses, hiding it from our first love and perhaps hiding our first love from our new love. If deceit comes hard to us, a second option presents itself; we can “break up” with one lover so that we can build a relationship with the new lover. However, there issomething wrong with the second option too. In rejecting a loved one because a new person has attracted our attention, we may be betraying whatever love and feeling we had for our first love; surely, this is the impression given to the person who is rejected. If we love a person only when we don’t have anyone else, what kind of love is that? There are good reasons for breaking up. Love relationships can get stale and tired, if not actively destructive. But we need not treat our lovers like old cars that must be traded in to make room for new ones. Why can’t we love someone while being open to exploring new love relationships with others? Love or the desire to love should not cause us to reject and hurt those we have been loving. Destruction of human potential 1 am convinced that for every person in the world there are many, many potential lovers. For each woman, there is not just one knight On horseback For each man, there is not just one beautiful princess. The trouble with monogamy is that H limits our experience with others; it doesn’t permit us to discover the many potential lovers that exist for us. Consider the students in my class: young people, perhaps only twenty years old, at best newcomers to love t' i sex. With most of their lives yet to be lived, each still has the opportunity to meet and relate to many interesting and attractive people. But instead of cherishing and welcoming the opportunities for intimacy, love and sex that lie ahead, what do they want? Each of them wants to run and hide! Faced with awesome possibilities, they want to play it safe. They want to settle down in the near future to a permanent, monogamous relationship. In saying “hello” to love, they intend to say “goodbye” to the rest of the world Monogamy unduly limits human experience and the realization of human potential. It structures our lives so that outside a primary relationship human relations are trivialized: intimacy with others is outlawed. This is the most tragic consequence of monogamy. If it were not for our monogamous bias, our relationships with other people could be more free form, experimental, and, I think, ultimately more satisfying and profound. Monogamy sentences us to superficial relations. It robs life of its excitement and possibilities. Many joys as well as sorrows are placed beyond the pale of human .... — — * experience. Not easy, but worth it Perhaps I have overstated the case against monogamy. For certain periods of time, it may be the right thing. It may offer a familiar context, a safe, secure environment, for establishing a primary relationship that is strong and trustful enough to encourage openness toward other people. From my own experience, I am inclined to conclude that open relationships are not easy. It is not easy to overcome guilt feelings, jealousy, and the insecurity that comes from the fear of being rejected if your lover is attracted to someone else. Converting an intellectual commitment to openness into an emotional one takes a lot of work, especially for people raised to be monogamous. But try we must! What’s at stake is the promise of vastly enriched life where we can naturally extend ourselves both in love and in friendship to others Moreover, we can care about our lovers while allowing them to live and enrich their own lives. This, i think, is loving in the best sense of the word. - — Wednesday, 1 February 1978 .

Like to find out? The College Placement Council (CPC), a national organization, publishes three salary survey reports annually which list the going rates for college graduates in different fields. The four major discipline areas covered in the survey are: engineering, sciences, math and other technical fields, business-related openings, and other non-technical areas. Each several contains discipline subcategories and a listing of monthly wages paid by different employing agencies. The CPC “is the national block which houses the membership for most college placement, career planning, and career guidance offices in the country,” said Director of Career Planning, E.J. Martell. “It is a central clearing house, an information center and a data collection agency.” The CPC boasts a 2400 school resource pool and an employer which exceeds 2000 pool members. This allows it to view a good cross-section of the nation’s employee/employer needs. The CPC also publishes The College Placement Annual, which is advertised as “The Officeial Telephone blues Keeping up with phone costs Occupational Directory of the Placement Regional Associations.” It has lots of useful information for the graduating student, including such things as tips on resume writing, proper interview procedures, and a directory of employers. CPC releases Recruiting Reports which give a national perspective on the hiring plans of employers. It also publishes a follow-up report on the accuracy of their predictions, which in recent years have been excellent, Martell said. Also, CPC puts out more than twenty monographs a year, which deal primarily with aising the student in finding a job or deciding on a career. Membership in the CPC this year, which runs from September 1 through August 31, costs $150, which is “a fraction of what it costs to hire one staff member,” according to the CPC promotional by Terry Martin Staff Writer Spectrum Telephone costs have recently soared for dorm students, who have discovered that it is cheaper to leave phones on over the winter recess rather than temporarily disconnect them as had been the practice of many students in the past. The cost of having a phone turned off for vacation and then having operation resumed upon return has jumped over 600 per cent for Main Street dorm students, from $2.33 to $14.00, and slightly less for the Amherst Campus service, from $3.50 to $14.00. bulletin. All the things listed above plus much more are available to any student the at Oniversity Placement and Career Guidance Office. The staff there is anxious to help and there is also an “extensive collection of occupational literature.” The office is open from 8;30 p.m.to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Gary Gutenstein The fee for temporary termination rose to $10.00 in October, and rose again to $14.00 as of January 6. A spokesman for the New York Telephone Co., Ethel Gramm, defended the rise saying, “We found that the charge for restoring service was closer to $14.00. The old $2.33 charge for Main St. and $3.50 charge for Amherst were figures that were set ten years ago. Since then costs have increased and the Phone has Company been losing money.” Gramm explained that for each phone that is turned off, “our representative has to write an order for it to be disconnected, it must be physically disconnected, and the billing has to be stopped. Upon resumption of phone service, the representative issues orders to reconnect the wires, they are physically connected, the billing is resumed, and we must figure out how much less to charge the consumer.” Preposterous Director of Housing Custodial Services Richard Cudeck, thought that the jump was “preposterous and should be challenged.” “I have filed a protest with the Public Service Commission in Albany and am waiting for them to send me the proper forms,” he said. Cudeck also stated that in a meeting a few months ago with the Inter-Residence Council (IRC), the Krone Company, and his office, he had proposed getting a reduction in rates by giving New York Telephone a blanket order to turn off all the phones in the dorms, should students agree to it. The Phone Company refused, explaining that they had nothing that would apply as such on an individual basis. Treasurer of IRC Steve Peck was also against the rise and felt that some action should be taken. “We’re going to submit a proposal to legislators in Albany to get cuts for students,” he said. “We also approached the phone company with the proposal to reduce rates by limiting the free calling arcr from all of Buffalo to just our immediate surroundings, but we still haven’t heard from them,” he added. Lost in N.Y Gramm explained that IRC’s proposal had gone to their main office in New York, but that it would take some time before they received an answer, although it would certainly be in before the end of the semester. “It takes an revenues, of the approval consideration of how to get the equipment, and the approval to put it in,” said Gramm. She added that she didn’t know what the charge would be if it were instituted. Whether a student should turn off his phone is a matter of arithmetic. If a student plans to have it disconnected for a month ($12.09 monthly), it will end up costing more to have it reinstalled than if it had simply been left on for that period of time. After five weeks, the student will break even, but winter recess isn’t more than four weeks. ‘They’re bleeding us to death no matter what we do,” exclaimed one perturbed student. “You just can’t fight the Phone Company.” How do we let you know that we care that we are open, that we want you to hare some of the enjoyment we have? # walk by the table, seem interested, but then see the words “campus ministry”, and say “Oh, no, 1 don't want that.” BUT YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO OFFER US, and we think you will enjoy what we do.

In addition, the Student Association (SA) Senate voted unanimously to support the effort. NYPIRG plans to continue its on-campus efforts this semester, in addition to building community coalitions behind statewide bottle bill Group legislation. Other projects that students will be working on through NYPIRG this semester include: a continuation of last semester’s utility reform and building energy conservation efforts, a survey of the compliance of the university buildings with handicapped access regulations, a survey of area gynecologists, and patients’ rights outreach. In addition, efforts will continue to gather student support for legislation to reform the Educational Testing Services to permit students to register to vote where they attend school. Any student wishing more information should contact the NYPIRG Office in 311 Squire Hall, or call 831-5426.

The was University campus unaffected. Niagara Mohawk could not determine what caused the pole to break although a spokesman speculated that it could have been caused by lightning or “by some joint effect of weather and age on A mysterious series of light flashes sporatically lit the sky at the Amherst Campus Tuesday night. The flareups, which could be seen from a distance of two miles, originated from a broken electric power transmission pole on Millersport Highway that caught on fire. Ten flashes occurred over a five-minute period from 11.48 to 11 :S3 pm. The split pole, located in front of the University Police Headquarters, caused power lines to become entwined. The explosions were caused by circuit breakers attempting to divert the current from that area of the the.pote.” The pole, which stood over'a major natural gas terminal, dropped sparks and burning particles on to the highway and the cars. traveling Niagara Mohawk"' admitted that the possibility of the pole and. the live wires falling on the highway did exist, but a spokesman said, “the system.

Porter quad: more garbage than usual Several residents of Porter Quad have begun a fight to reopen recently closed storage rooms where trash was disposed laSt semester. Ths storage rooms were locked by the Custodial Services Department shortly before the Christmas holiday break and instead trash cans were placed in the hallways. Irate residents of the Porter Quad have circulated a petition to have the storage rooms reopened. In addition, they have sought media coverage and threatened to call the Board of Health. One student stated, “We were told that the rooms were closed because they were a health and safety hazard, but I hardly consider it healthier to have a can of garbage sitting near my door.” According to Director of Custodial Services Dewey Bush, the rooms were locked upon his orders because “They were designed for dry storage, not for garbage and they arc not equipped with smoke detectors.” Bush further stated that “a fire in a closed area of this type could cause serious damage before being detected.” He indicated that the rooms will probably remain closed. Some trash cans have been removed from halls and placed in stairwells by students who complain of the smell of the garbage. According to Bush, the trash is removed each day at 9;45 a.m. which should eliminate this difficulty. Bush felt that the students involved in the protest were “selfish in their views since only a few buildings in Porter contain these storage rooms.” N Bush said that the precedent of using these rooms for trash was set years ago, and has continued since up until this semester. As far as can be determined, there is no Board of Health restriction or building code statute which limits the location of trash cans. 3 ' \ See what you can do for someone m, I And while you’re finding out \o^ JOIN US lor a beer or some wine ACorps Community is: * . : \ ■ •• Over 1400 volunteers r Working to serve Buffalo and Erie County We work with ‘::V THE HANDICAPPED CHILDREN m OLDER ADULTS MVD - ■* . ’• * * -iliOIN usin theTODAY >‘V* V- : mis V -W.M ;*;: :• rv v ROOM/SQUIRE r from 2:30 pm Refreshments mm fr • t ■jm 6:00 pm are free — 'ysffi****?

On Wednesday, the previously undefeated Boss Players, succumbed for the first time 60-59, in the final moments of the game to their rivals, the Independence dc Puerto Rico. The Independence thus revenged their earlier loss to the Players. Both teams now stand even at S-l in the Wednesday (A) league and will continue to battle as the playoffs draw nearer. Another surprising upset occurred Sunday, a week ago, when Club 21 was handed their first defeat by upcoming Dynasty in overtime. As the buzzer sounded, Dave Sand’s 20-foot jumper from the top of the key won it. The crucial victory put Dynasty in good shape for a playoff spot. Both Qub 21 and Dynasty won again this week, thus improving their standings in the 2 pm. Sunday (B) league. Elsewhere in the Sunday B leagues, a battle for first place continued between N.O.Y.F.B., now 7-0, and The Sunset Chateau, 6-1. That fight will probably go down to the wire, as these teams are scheduled to play each other in the last game of the season. Other promising B league teams are: the 76’s (4:00) and the Phenol-Barbs (5:00). Both of those squads still remain undefeated at 7-0. In the Monday leagues, a three-way tie between Who’s Next, the K9’s, and the YO’s has yet to be resolved. The K9’s jumped ahead of the pack by edging the YO’s. Competition for first place here is tight, and each game will be crucial in the overall standings. Some other good teams in the Monday leagues are AWB 5-0 in the 8:00 B league and Trigger Happy 50 in the 9:00 A league. Both teams looked impressive last semester, but were unable to play so far this semester, due to last Thursday’s storm. The Bugouts, a Wednesday entry (9:30) benefitted from a forfeit by the UB coaches and improved their record to 6-0.

That was the last mistake UB’s defense would make until the final able Copy Editor “We them and we outshot them. They just got the breaks,” said Buffalo defenseman Rich MacLean after the hockey Bulls had lost a heartbreaking 4-3 decision to Plattsburgh in a New York Collegiate Hockey Association (NYCHA) game Friday night at the Tonawanda Sports Center. Perhaps a better indication of the way Buffalo skated was a standing ovation given them after the Buffalo's Cindy Coburn delivering the ball in the UB Invitational Squire Hall Lanes on Saturday. at the Bowling Royals No. 1 at Invitational meet 'tfgn <»-*»- . ■>.. __ The bowling Royals captured first place at the UB Invitational Bowling Tournament at Squire Lanes Saturday. Both the UB “A” and “B” squads wound up victors in their respective divisions, with the “B” team (2404 pins) surprisingly finishing with more total pins than the “A” team (2400 pins). Rounding out the A tournament, Fredonia finished in second place with 2323 pins. Ithaca had 2190 and Cornell finished last with 2133. Junior Cindy Coburn led the UB scorers with a 558 series; Sue Fulton (526) was second. After the first game the Royals found themselves in second place with 810 pins, 1) pins behind Fredonia. Ithaca finished the game in thira place (802), and Cornell brought up the rear (745). Coburn’s 213 helped UB’s cause greatly as some Royals had trouble in the early rounds. . Royals pull ahead After the next ten frames, Buffalo was ahead of the pack with 1639 pins. Fredonia fell to second place with 1598, Ithaca remained in third with 1483 and Cornell again was last with 1430. Overall the Royals looked much better as a team, with Fulton leading the game with a 198. The Royals pin total fell drastically in their third game (761), yet c they still pulled out the match. The “B” team’s victory wasn’t-unexpected but their pin total certainly was. The “B’s” had no trouble winning their division of the tournament, as they led from the beginning and never once trailed. Final totals showed UB first, Cornell second (2050), Ithaca third (1959) and Fredonia last (1953). ‘B.’ team leaden Freshman Terry Strassel threw a powerful first game (217). Her totals dropped, however, to" 145 and 139 for a 501 but she did end with the second highest series; UB senior Carolyn Karanas, throwing a pretty consistent ball, had the highest series with 191-186-154 for a 531. The fine “performance of the “B” team coupled with the “A” team’s steady bowlers showed the depth of the Royal squad. With that combination, Buffalo coach Jane Poland could well find herself coaching a powerhouse on the bowling alley. The Royals’ next competition will be February 4 at the Ithaca Invitational. -Pauline habedz final buzzer had sounded. Buffalo had battled back from a 3-0 deficit against one of the top Division II hockey teams in the East to tie the score midway through the third period on a shorthanded goal by MacLean. In the end, it was one of the Bulls’ few defensive mistakes of the evening that led to the defeat. “I saw two Plattsburgh guys hanging on the blue line,” said Buffalo goalie Bill Kaminska. “I tried calling for help by banging my stick on the ice, but they couldn’t hear me.” Plattsburgh wound up with a two-on-one break, and Cardinal freshman Teddy Dash beat Kaminska cleanly for the winning goal with just 24 seconds left. Caniana helps Despite the loss, it was an encouraging game for the Bulls. “It was a tough game to lose,” said Bulls coach Ed Wright, now in his eighth season at Buffalo, “but we haven’t played that well in our last seven games.” One of the keys to Buffalo’s improved performance was a sharp defense, bolstered by the return of senior Mike Caruana, who had been out with a bad knee. “We were getting tired playing with only three defensemen,” MacLean said about previous games. “Mike came back ahd helped.” “The defense played really well,” Kaminska added. “Danny Gemmer and Rich MacLean blocked a lot of shots and Mike Caruana provided the muscle. They cleared away all the rebounds.” Plattsburgh opened the scoring at 2:16 of the first period. Junior Matt Wescott planted himself at Kaminska’s left, unhindered by the UB defense, and took a pass from Danny Brown, Kaminska wasn’t minute Bulls come back The second Cardinal goal came on a mistake by Kaminska, who apparently felt he could retrieve a loose puck before Brown. Brown beat him to it and scored into an open net. “We made two mistakes in the first period, and we got burned twice,” Wright said. “We also hit the post twice. That’s the kind of luck we’ve been battling.” Marc Ouellet’s power play goal early in the second period made the score 3-0, but the remainder of the period belonged to the Bulls. Ed Patterson, who passed, shot and forechecked beautifully throughout the game, was in the right spot at the right time when he picked up a rebound and scored Buffalo’s first goal on a power play. Later in the second period, Bull Brien Grow worked the puck free from a Plattsburgh player. Linemate Frank Anzalone picked up the puck, passed to Chris Bonn on the left, who tallied, mHiring the score 3-2. Buffalo had numerous other opportunities during that period, as they fired 20 shots at Cardinal goalie Rick Strack. Several times, the rebound trickled loose in the crease, but the Bulls could not capitalize. The tying goal was set up when Anzalone worked the puck loose along the boards, fed Bonn, who shot. The rebound came out to MacLean, who poked it over the fallen Strack. � � � • Saturday, Buffalo beat Cortland 6-4, in another NYCHA game. Tom Wilde and MacLean each had two goals while Tim Igo and Don Osborn added single tallies. The win raised Buffalo’s overall record to 7-9, but more importantly, it raised their NYCHA record to 3-2. Plattsburgh remains on top of the league at 7-1 (losing only to Elmira Saturday). Buffalo will be idle most of the week, but they will lace up their skates again Saturday night at Plattsburgh, in what could be a very important contest. UB swimmers win at Clark The UB men’s swimming team its, record to two wins, three tosses, when it defeated upped 71-42 Wednesday at Clark Hall. Buffalo coach Bill Brockport Sanford, who expected the •victory, agreed with Brockport’s swimming coach Greg Kenney that Wednesday’s meet was certainly “fun.” Sanford “lightened the load” to ease up on Brockport, knowing that their season is still young and that the Buffalo win would be relatively easy. The Golden Eagles record stands at 0-2. UB took the first event, the 400 yeard medley relay to start the meet leading 5-0. Not until the 50 yeard freestyle event with Buffalo trailing 16-9 did UB win an event. Junior co-captain Chuck Niles placed first with a time of 23:83, followed closely dive, a back one an; one-half somersault. He continued through all six rounds to place first with 213.45, with Frost second and Frasca third again. In the 100 yeard freestyle, Niles won again followed by UB’s Frank Buzcek with times of 53.0 and 53.47 seconds, respectively. Sophomore Paul Glauber placed first in the 500 yeard freestyle event with an excellent time of 5:53.18, six and one-half seconds faster than Ed O’Brien of Brockport. The Bulls won the final event, the 200 yard freestyle relay, a close race between the Buffalo’s team of Steve Poltyda, Buzcek, and Tom Westner, and a Fritzinger and Brockport’s entry. Buffalo’s next match is at Rochester, today. Geri Halady by teammate Don Brockihurst. The Bulls placed one and two again in the 200 yeard individual medley. Jim Brenner had an excellent time of 2:09:17 and a wide lead of 13:25 seconds over Tim Nash of UB and Bruce Singer of Brockport. Doran takes two Buffalo’s Michael Doran again had an excellent performance in the one meter required dive to take top honors with a score of 162.75. Doug Frost of Brockport followed with 135.00 and Tony Frasca of Buffalo came in third with 123.95. Doran also performed well in the one meter optional dive, despite the fact that his back was injured in the first - Wednesday, 1 February 1978 The Spectrum .

The loss dropped Buffalo’s record to 5-3. Prior to the game, Buffalo coach Liz Cousins said that Ithaca would be a real test, as UB’s earlier opponents were much smaller. “We - -2 defense,” she said. “In play a running offense with a conservative order to run, we’ll need the quick outlet pass to start the break.” At the outset, Ithaca controlled the pace. Led by the rebounding of Judy Watkins and the quarterbacking of Dee Dee Mayes, the Bombers opened up an early lead in the first half. The hot shooting of Regina Frailer (12 points) and Pam Lerrainiaux (17 points) for UB kept the game within reach at halftime.' Save Early in the second half, play became sloppy as both teams traded numerous turnovers. Royals’ center and leading rebounder Janet Lilley was in early foul trouble, contending with the inside strength of Watkins. The Royals blew a couple of breakaway layups and threw away several opportunities to score. w# #o Sabs give lift Lilley fouled out at the twelve minute mark so Cousins sent in a smaller, quicker liiieup which slowly cut the lead to thirteen, 57-44 with less than eight minutes left in the game.

UB forced Ithaca to turn the ball over with * s ■ aggress ve defense. With 1:33 left.

Repeatedly in the final minute, the Royals had the chance to win the game or send it into overtime, but Ithaca forced Buffalo to take three bad shots in the last 18 seconds. Lisa Boyer put the Ithaca squad up by three, 62-59 with the first of two foul shots. She missed the second shot but Ithaca controlled the rebound and scored at the buzzer, making the final score 64-59. Comeback effort “When we were down by two with fifteen seconds left, we wanted o inside and draw a foul,” said Cousins. “We didn’t want to take a three outside shots. Being inexperienced hurt. We were down by eighteen, and came back. That says a lot about the team.” • e • *U-*i*f Books of coupons worth $ 10.00, are sold rt., in all Food Service areas for $ 9.70, a 3% sav, The swimming Royals had a rougher time at Ithaca, drawing 114-16. “It’s a good experience competitively,” said Royals coach Pam Noakes. “It’s hard to swim against a team that is rolling up the score.

No. 50 Jimmy Griffin: a mayor on the move by Bradshaw Hovey Spectrum Staff Writer Mayor Jimmy Griffin’s vision for Buffalo is an uncomplicated one. On the fingers of his meaty, workingman’s hand he ticks off four things he says he’ll have to do to consider his four years in the office a success: “a safer, cleaner city;, downtown; neighborhoods; and an efficient administration. Those four things.” And Griffin insists that he’s already succeeding in providing safety for Buffalonians. He cites “compliments” he’s received from administration. “They’re (the citizens are) gonna help make the decisions.” But the Mayor also says that he’s “not gonna have three or four layers of bureaucrats,” to do it. He says that “the Councilmen are going to have to shoulder their responsibility whether they like it or not.” Working together This is likely to be a bone of contention with many members of the Council, who feel strongly that the Block Grant Community coordinators, the “bureaucrats” which Griffin refers to, are essential to the successful administration of a plethora of federal and state grants and help programs to the ... . neighborhoods. ». . .. duttbio RMyor jamas downtown Monday, 30 January 1978 State University of New York at Buffalo Commentary ■» iitM THEBymMWEVSfflED is HER»rr SECOND SECTION A urirrin businessmen for potting more policemen on the streets. Thttre’s been an “increase in business’* he says. His ia simple, straightforward he might call it “no nonsense” approach. Fighting crime is-as simple as “throwing around hundred pound bags of flour,” « - - like he did in his younger days down at the grain mills on Buffalo’s waterfront. More cops equal leSs crime, like one and one. Mayor Griffin’s approach to solving the problems of the City doesn’t hinge on “experts.” In fact, he Views “experts” suspiciously. He dismisses them as “a.lof of big names with a lot of baloney.” He.depends on his own common ap»*. “Sure we’re gonna have problems,” he says, “but I don’t want any yes-men down there.” The solution to any differences of opinion between Griffin and the Council will be simple; “We’ll have to compromise.” And, for Griffin, getting the streets plowed is just a question of proper leadership. “The men realize they’ve got sonje direction now.” And problem which solved by just getting nil- be working together.” The “people Mayor has other City departments, primarily the Parks department, contributing machinery tp the anti-snow effort. Private snowplows are also being paid for out of $300,000 snow-fighting contingency fund. His approach to economic ■\ development and creating new jobs for Buffalo direct and personal. He speaks on the phone with one of the deputies and explains the situation. A guy doing in the City has lost his lease and is thinking about moving out of the City. Griffin asks his deputy to help him find a place here in Buffalo. The Mayor seems to like to intervene in this IRCB vs. IRCfeud simmers by Marshall Rooenthal and Lee Scott Penes A multi-faceted conflict threatening to split is the Inter-Residence Council Business, Inc. (IRCB) from its parent organization, the Inter-Residence Council (IRC). The effectiveness of the student-run service organizations appears hampered, with both sides citing control of IRCB and its policy as the aPfOL qf the disagreement. IRCB officials maintained that the representatives that constitute the business’ Board of Directors, are unqualified to make rational business decisions, pertinent to the corporation. In turn, the Board charged IRCB officials with losing sight of student needs, claiming that the corporation’s existence has become more important to IRCB management than has fulfilling its goal as a student service organization. Since its inception, IRCB which is responsible for three on-campus food stores, refrigerators, and travel services, structurally has been under control of the IRCB Board of Directors. IRC has the power to appoint corporation’s the management officials and thus has ultimate control of the $600,000 corporation. w9E The conflict between the student organizations began two years ago, when IRC moved its offices to the Amherst Campus. Prior to that, both organizations were centered in Goodyear Hall on the Main Street Campus. Former IRC President David Brownstein suggested that the move to Amherst created a communications gap and internal strains within the organization. IRCB mady a profit of about according $18,000, to Brownstein, while the following year incurred a $2,000 loss. Seeking to alleviate this lapse in communication, IRCB offices were relocated on the Amherst Campus this year. However, the gap has remained because IRC is housed in Richmond Quad while IRCB remains in Porter Quad. addition to the In problems, communication a significant strain on the ability of the two organizations to co-exist has been the intertwined personality and money conflicts. This year’s monetary problem stems from a spring, 1977 promise by IRGB that it would channel $15,000 to IRC for student IRC activities. has already appropriated the funds. However, it is apparent that the corporation will be unable to make a significant profit and has therefore raised the price of soft drinks cans by $.05. IRCB’s inability to make good on its promise has served to rupture the excellent rapport the two organizations once had. on the Board of Director! of 1RCB, was fired. It was Laawff’s removal which opened a Pandora ’S box of conflicts wttch have raped secretly for tujp years. IRCB Chairman of the Board. Jeff Kagan, claimed tlaat undue pressure has been exerted on IRCB by the Boor* to turn ever net profits. '. IRCB Business Manager, Harvey Reiss, clarified that, “It is written in the policy that if we have profits, they go to IRC. Bat we don’t have the money; if we did have it, we’d give it to them.” Lessoff said his duties as a Board member required him to solicit as much funding as posable. Explained Lessoff, “1 was placed on the Board to gat money for IRC, but how can you take money that isn’t there? We want to know if there is money, but they won’t tell us.” He commented further on the poor flow of information between the Board and the management of saying, IRCB, ‘The IRCB management won’t tell us the fiscal situation. The Board of Directors are ignorant of the situation because they don’t know what’s going on, mainly because management is keeping it from us.” Kagen refuted Lessoff’s contention, saying, “The books are open to everyone. But np Board member has ever asked to Undue pressure see them.” However. Reiss stated Internal conflicts came to a that there is no statement of head early last week, when Jeff profits. “An audit needs to be Lessoff, an at-large representative —continued on page 2— ( business way.

State s top team downs Bulls by Suzan Rury Spectrum Staff Writer Defending their number one position in the State, the Syracuse Orangemen squeezed a 24—12 victory out of the wrestling Bulls Saturday before an enthusiastic crowd at Clark Hall. Nearly 1000 people saw a Buffalo comeback bid fail at 190 pound Jeff Wheeler lost a 5—4 decision to Syracuse’s Michael Ponzo. With the team score 18-12 in favor of the Orangemen, Wheeler had to at least draw to prevent Syracuse from taking the match. A draw would have demanded a pin from UB’s injured heavyweight, Paul Curka, to accomplish a tie. With the score tied at four all and seconds left in the bout, Wheeler followed Michael’s plan to release his opponent, thus sacrificing one point to try for the two. Unsurprising strategy The buzzer ended the match with both wrestlers down on the mat, but referee Gerald Wright saw no need to award points. “It was a Judgement call,” said Michael. "The referee could have awarded points, either way would have been a good call.” Wheeler’s strategy did not surprise Syracuse coach Ed Carlin, “It was a good gamble, why not go for broke?” he said. Buffalo’s light weights started out weakly with sophomore Tom Jacoutot (118) being pinned by Orangeman Gene Mills, last year’s NCAA third place winner.

Lessoff stated, “I was fired for a disagreement in views. They (1RCB Management) are afraid of me, and they used me as an excuse for problems.” Kagen responded that Lessoff was a disruptive influence upon the Board, saying, “Disagreements in views cause a flow of ideas, but if someone disagrees to the point as to disrupt the meeting with screaming and raving, then that’s not productive.” Kagen added, “Board member Stephanie Fruend is more concerned with IRC getting money than possibly bankrupting the corporation.” elaborated, Reiss saying, test. “There is a conflict with the The next day, December 5, Board.

An investigation-by the District Attorney’s Office, released on November 15, documented at least ten overt coverup attempts made by police officers. These attempts included officers leaving their posts to contact suspects and lying to superior officers about (The whereabouts. their Spectrum, November 18.) The alleged coverup efforts all occurred within the first twenty-four hours after the beating took place. On Sunday, December 4, the Courier Express reported that Richard Tiirchiarelli would move for a separate trial.

Stiller was “not impressed” by a survey which was undertaken for the defense which found that 50 percent of area residents believed some or all of the defendants to be guilty. On the first day of pre-trial proceedings, Stiller barred the press from the court, stating he didn’t want jurors to be tainted by evidence which might be found to be inadmissible. in the case. The organizations’ strongly because management feels that Board members have no of knowledge business transactions when they enter office. Lack of interest "The Board of Directors are uneducated about IRCB and business,” Reiss explained. “They think politically, not in a business Lesson However, sense.” “IRC still maintained that controls the corporation. IRCB should have always been IRC's responsibility. The Board is in charge of policy making and IRCB didn’t accept that.” Lessoff described a situation at a Board meeting where, “Reiss informed the Board of Directors that he was the Business Manager of IRCB and that we wouldn’t take away any internal control, or else he would resign.” Kagan defended Reiss, stating that, “His attitude has emerged from years past. There has been a general lack of interest on the Board. I don’t agree with Reiss about the Board not having control; to a certain extent, IRC should have control of IRCB. I’ve been trying to alleviate a communication problem, but the Board wasn’t dealing with the corporation effectively.” Kagan claimed there is a conflict of individuals rather than a conflict between IRC and IRCB. “Changes,*’ said, he “are necessary.” Reiss commented that, “The bitterness will reside since Lessoff is off the Board.” Lessoff stated, fired, “With my being management has won, the Board has lost, and they have their way.

Reiss sees “IRC going down, while IRCB is going up.” Lessoff disagreed. “IRC is not going down,” h* said. “Nor is IRCB. The two are inter-related. If one goes down, the other goes down. IRC definitely needs IRCB.” Kagan agreed with Lessoff, saying, “If IRC doesn’t exist, IRCB won’t be around and vice versa. It's like a marriage.” Although Kagan and Lessoff agreed that IRC and IRCB need each other to sustain, a problem still persists concerning who shall control IRCB.

Camerda said students at Stonybrook had been involved in lobbying and “received some tentative commitments in Albany and from some Long Island legislators.” Mike Mermelstein, member of the Advisory Board of SASU at SUNY at Oneonta, suggested that “students may be doing some lobbying in February.” SUNY at New Paltz Student Task Force member Martha Jones said representatives from New Paltz have directed their lobbying efforts to the New York State Bpard of Trustees. Campus Editor by Brad Bermudez Campus Editor Departmental reviews evaluating the four credit policy must be completed by the end of the Fall semester of the 1978-79 academic year for final approval by the Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE), according to a report by the Committee on Curricular Structure of the Faculty Senate. None of the departments have announced formal decisions, as reviews are still in progress. Acting Dean of Undergraduate Education, Walter Kunz, said, “The curricular committee must develop criteria to evaluate the decisions of the various departments. Right now the Committee faces a logistics problem because it is very busy dealing with new courses and doesn’t have the time to conduct a review.” Kunz predicted that a sub committee would be formed within DUE to deal with the issue. Wide variance of departmental reaction was expected, according to Kunz. “There are advantages to both policies,” he commented. “The problem is that neither system has ever been tested.” Kunz said that the three credit system could theoretically allow a broad education by forcing students to take more courses to meet departmental requirements. “The three credit system (five course load) is used at many universities throughout the country,” he said. Although It is difficult to determine at this point, Kunz predicted that there would be some scheduling problems resulting from a policy change. “We will probably wind up with a complex system of credit if follow the Senate recommendations,” he said. Acting Dean of Graduate Education, Charles Fogel, said that be unfortunate if departments had to fit within a rigid be unfortunate if departments had to fit within a reigid procedure. In this case, we wanted each department to examine itself to determine itw own policy,” he stressed. Fogel added, “There may be scheduling problems, but in the end, the University will be better off.” Chairman of Rachel Carson College, Peter Gold felt that scheduling difficulties were accounted for by the Curriculum Committee’s report. “There may be minor scheduling difficulties but they will be resolved. The three credit system may actually allow for more careful scheduling procedures,” he said. The Geology Department, presently in the process of review, will probably arrive at a decision by next week, according to Chairman Chester Langway. “1 have no preference for either system,” he commented. “A broad education is desirable but a three credit system won’t necessarily guarantee a broader education than a four credit we system.” The Art Department will experience minimal effects from the Committee report, according to Assistant to the Chairman Theodore Fitzwater. “We switched most of our courses to three credits last fall. Credit policy has never been an important factor in our studio program;” Fitzwater said. He felt that there is some justification for the four credit system and in depth study, altfaoug he favors the three credit policy. “It is terribly important at the Undergraduate level to have a broad education," Fitzwater stressed. mr~ ~mi mr im mi ■ U ini *«« Undergraduate English Society Meeting Tuesday, Jan. 31 at 4 pm in room 3\ 610 Clemens ALL ENGLISH MAJORS ARE URGED TO ATTEND. uuab presents: Call our Activities Information line «. A boycott of the mandatory student health fee is proceeding differently at various SUNY schools throughout the state. The health fee, which amounts to $8.50 per semester for students at this University, has been the target of a Student Association of the State University (SASU) statewide boycott because its revenue is being used to offset a $2.3 million budget cut, and not for health related purposes. Legislative Director of SASU David Coyne has labeled the fee “a tremendous consumer fraud on the part of the state.” Currently, the SASU organization at this University is sponsoring a pledge card boycott of the fee which has been dubbed as “not being used for health services. Buffalo representatives are asking students who pass through Squire Hall to sign a pledge card which stipulates that when they pay their tuition bills, they will withhold payment of the health fee. Last semester, SUNY at Stoneybrook attempted to organize a boycott and collected over 1000 pledge cards. The Stoneybrook administration refused to accept partial payment of students’ tuition and “in essence threatened de-registration of students,” according to Executive Director of the Student Polity Bill Camerda. He added, “Since it was vacation time, most students ended up paying it, but we are getting involved in lobbying.”- ‘Makes me sick’ Students at SUNY at Cortland have written over 250 letters urging repeal of the health fee, (according to Student Association Treasurer Ralph Pollock. Co-coordinator of the Free Student Union at Geneseo Pat Deluca said, “We called off our boycott because we didn’t have many people. Instead we are organizing a letter-writing campaign.” Chason from Binghamton added, “We weren’t prepared to boycott the fee, but we have been writing support letters to other schools.” It is hard to evaluate the effect of the various efforts by the different schools, but Camerda stressed that students are becoming more aware of the fee. Mermelstein said, “It’s a rip-off, and should be repealed. Hopefully, the Legislature will put it back in.” Jones from New Paltz exclaimed, “The health fee makes me sick.” Camerda added, “The Legislature should be making a decision on the damn thing very soon.” Lobbying efforts The major effort by many of the SUNY schools is taking the form of lobbying. SUNY at Oneonta, Stonybrook, New Paltz, and Binghamton are all planning lobbying efforts. SASU delegate from Binghamton Lisa Chason said, “Hopefully appeals to Jimmy Griffin in the Army in Korea (“We jumped out of airplanes.”), back to finish high school, at Erie County Tech, as a railroad engineer, and in politics as Councilman and State Senator. Has scorn Through it all, he says, he simply tried to do the best job he could. If a man’s character and personality determine to a large extent the kind of Mayor the man will be, then there are some gnawing questions about Mayor Jimmy Griffin. Jimmy Griffin is an agreeable person friendly, and actually very warm face to face. One person who had not supported him in last fall’s, campaign was moved to describe him as “a very charming man.” And this reporter agrees. What is disturbing is the ready The Spectrum is published Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the academic year and on Friday during the summer, by The Spectrum Student Periodical, Inc.

Circulation average: 15,000 scorn he has —continued from page 1— ... for those who preceeded his administration, for those who don’t share his views, for many others. Griffin betrays this scorn with a liberal use of what one might call an all-purpose derogative. He found himself using this term and states firmly “don’t print that like Mike Healy did,” referring to an article printed in the Courier Express immediately after the November election. Startled, I promised the Mayor I would not. A promise is a promise. If you want to read the actual words you can look up Mike Hcaly’s story for yourself. The words themselves are not important. It is the sentiments the words convey that are troubling. And the word itself is so ubiquitous in his speech that it is hard to get around it. For expedience’s sake, let us substitute the words “mike healy” for that term of derision so at home on Jimmy Griffin’s tongue. Tots-lots Griffin dismisses with a wave of his hand the idea that any tensions exist between the City and the University even in light of the disturbances which occurred here in 1970. “That was ten years ago,” he says. Besides, he continues, “Dr. Ketter is doing a fine job.” The Mayor expects to work with the University on numerous projects but frankly doesn’t expect to get much help from “those mike healies from New York City who hang around Norton Hall 24 hours a day.” “I care about the kids who are working after school to put a buck in their pocket,” he comments, feeling they are the people who will help, the City. Although he doesn’t refer to them as mike healies, he does have sharp criticism for “so-called neighborhood groups” which have been active in the block grant program. “They’ve got all these tot-lots,” he comments. “Who the hell needs them?” The Mayor thinks it would be more productive to use the money to establish all purpose community centers for everything from youth recreation to activities for the elderly. the Mayor Griffin’s desire to help City is without a doubt He talks of Buffalo’s residential sections” and his intention “to keep them healthy." And he pledges to “rebuild the inner city, block by block,” to bring jobs to the CUy, and all the rest. v* As I leave his office, Griffin flashes that winning grin and wishes me “the best, The best.” The best of luck to you, Mr. sincere. “great - Mayor. ; , 636-2919 Look in Friday’s Prodigal Sun for complete weekly listing of UUAB events. /aboard -TDOMtINC only five more pages 'til The Blizzard Monday, 30 January 1978 The Spectrum . . Page three �EDITORIAL Understanding IRC and IRCB The effectiveness of two dormitory service organizations, the Inter Residence Council (IRC) and its corporate anr, IRCB, is baing impaired by internal squabbling and petty politicking over whatremain very viable financial and structural issues, pertinent to the continued success of student activities at this University. Rarsona) disputes between the management of IRCB and the Board of its parent organization, an alleged promise of funds totalling $15,000 to the parent organization, which IRC promptly allocated but never received, and Very importantly, the move to the Amherst Campus effecting a physical split between the two have blown the cover off the unity that might ever have existed to provide students with maximum service. So now the entire student body knows that, despite the continued existence of The Grub, The Ellicottessen, and The Underground (in Governors, Ellicott and in the basement of Goodyear and Clement respectively), and the continual showings of excellent movies in Farber ISO and Fillmore 170. ell is not well behind the scenes. In fact, nothing h wall, and students are probably missing something they shouldn'tbe. The last editorial written about IRC in this column, although entertaining and welt-written in some parts, was misinformed and insulting to the point of comparing one IRC Board member to a public official whose namesake made cart. It was based on a story in the same issue alleging corruption in IRC elections. In that case, it seemed that no one could get hit or her story straight as to what happened and what was, in fact, allowed to happen. Welt, the story hasn't changed. Although the crux of the matter this time is the control of I RGB, The Spectrum reporter was fed contradictions, nrtisunderstandings, quarter-lies, half-lies and probably a few full-fledged grown-up lies; and the questions raised and unanswered, the facts stated and disputed, and the discussion of business vs. politics generated by both sides confirm that a crisis is impending, no doubt to come to a head at budget time. Are IRCB's books open to IRC officials? Do the books make any sense? Was the alleged promise of $15,000 ewer made or was the money allocated on the basis of guesswork about expected revenues? Are the officials in charge of dispensing funds totally ignorant of business procerhires, and vice versa (although in most interactions of this nature, the best businesspeople are very good politicians), or are they merely interested in keeping the business afloat and forgetting about the student service? With a budget of over $500,000, I RGB is the largest student corporation at this University. Its potential is fantastic and in many respects has been fulfilled; the cash flow at the-three stores is constant and could be expanded as an increasing number of students utilize them and as the prices remain as low as possible, contrary to the proposals of one former IRC Board member. It could continue to supply funds to IRC, which could in turn increase the number of movies shown, have more beer blasts, sponsor more trips to Toronto and better organize vacation transport to New York City and, with new personnel, plan innovative means of keeping dormitory students entertained and even educated. ; But first, the internal accounting systems of both IRC and IRCB must be made more managable and comprehensible to students whose tenure as officials never exceeds the duration of their undergraduate — — years. If the three stores did have the floor space, IRCB could’ become the largest distributor of returnaWes-only In Western New York, and could increase its inventory to the point of giving the local supermarkets a real run for their money. But people with vision are needed: people who can look beyond the trials of the present and plan the future, people with a sense of committment that would be passed on from year to year, people who squabble for the good of all and not for themselves.

Most of the records in my collection have even reached numero uno. That isn’t something that bothers me. What I do find irksome is the artist that takes the easy musical route out. That should be as repugnant to every fan as it is to any truthful critic. I can’t help telling the truth. One of my hardest jobs is to recognize a fault of my favorite performers, and then to admit it. I’d be lying if I didn’t do it.

One is not to equate someone’s personal life with his musical accomplishments. Therefore, that is why I panned Jackson Bmrae's new album. Being a fan makes me all the more aware of what he is capable of doing. I don’t feel Browne is progressing. I feel he has reached a plateau and is unable to keep making the upward climb.

The rest of the light weights lost by decisions, most of tm tiring early within their matches. “The light weights are weak because there is not enough depth/’ stated freshman Mike Jacoutot. He explained that the team does not have many members in the lower weights, so they lack intersquad competition. But Syracuse’s victories extended into the upper weights also, when the leader of Buffalo’s “Death Row,” co-captain Kirk Anderson, was decisioned 2-0 by John Janiak for his first seasonal dual loss. Injured ribs Buffalo heavyweight Paul Curka sustained an injury to his ribs prior to the match and Chris Ness (190) took his place. Ness was easily defeated by Orangeman Mike Rotunda, 6-0. Curka would have liked to have wrestled, but didn’t want to chance aggravating the injury. If Wheeler had won or drawn, Curka would have wrestled regardless of injury, “I would have done by job,” Curka confidently said. “I am not disappointed,” said Michael. “Over all the team wrestled well.” Carlin said that although he didn’t consider this match to be one of Syracuse’s important matches, because Buffalo is not in its conference, it was definitely one of its most difficult. “UB has a tough club,” he commented. Aggressive feet Janiak was the third place winner in the NCAA championships of his sophomore year. He redshirted last year and is now making a comeback in his senior year. Anderson hopes to wrestle Janiak again in tournament competition later this season. “I need to be more aggressive against Janiak on his feet,” claimed Anderson. "‘1 was too cautious, 1 should have gone for more takedowns.” The only Bull pin was captured by co-captain Bruce Hadsell (167), who pinned senior Peter Englehardt in a time of 3:28.

Because we do not modify our way of life according to the seasons, as animals do and as our ancestors did. In previous centuries, when most people lived on farms, families expected to be isolated by winter storms. They did not try to fight the weather. By stocking up on food, firewood and other essentials, they could be self-sufficient for months. But the modern urban household depends for its survival on a constant stream of supplies and services from outside. Few families stock more than a week’s supply of food; nor do we have domestic animals to slaughter. Since most city homes do not have fireplaces, a house becomes uninhabitable if gas, oil or electricity is unavailable. Those with CB radios may do without a telephone until the batteries are gone. When public water supplies fail, we are warned not to drink melted snow without disinfecting it and even then, it contains traces of industrial pollutants from the air. — - Our Achilles heel The interdependence of city dwellers is made possible by our transportation system, which proved our Achilles heel. Automobiles and trucks require certain conditions in order to function well. They do not run on tracks and hence good visibility is must be steered with care essential. They require a smooth, unencumbered road surface hence snow must be plowed from the streets. They often refuse to start in cold weather hence abandoned cars must be towed. Each vehicle needs a parking space of considerable size when not in use. Thus a transportation system based on motor vehicles — - - requires some very expensive public services. The tax base of Buffalo is hardly adequate to support the quality of service demanded by the public; nor are sufficient parking places available so that on-street parking can be banned. During the harsh winter of 1976-77, the conditions necessary for efficient transportation in the city could not be maintained. The whitcout pf January 29th was the straw that broke the camel’s back, because it caused so many people to abandon their cars that even major traffic arteries became hopelessly blocked. As a result thousands of people were stranded in their cars, and the services upon which we all rely including repair of utility lines, delivery of goods by truck and fire and police protection could not function. The Blizzard was not as great a threat to life as a flue epidemic in the Buffalo area only about thirty people actually died. Most were found dead in their cars or perished trying to get to shelter after abandoning their vehicles. Whether they died of heart attacks, carbon monoxide inhalation or exposure, they were not prepared in clothing or in physical fitness to cope with the weather outside of that warm haven, the car. In wondering at the confidence and security most Americans feel in their automobiles, I have come to realize that for many families the car is like a second home, equipped with as many of the comforts of home as they can afford. But amenities like carpeting and stereo do not make the automobile a safe refuge from the world. It requires frequent refueling; it is mechanically unreliable; and its motion depends on traffic and road conditions which are beyond the driver’s control. The sense of power it conveys is largely illusory. — - - When our tansportation system broke down, a temporary disintegration of society occurred. The economy ceased to function. The natural gas shortage was an aggravating factor, but even without it many people would have been unable to get to work. Panic reactions were common: What will I do if my child gets sick? Do we have effective police and fire protection? Will I be able to heat my home? Will there be enough food? Maybe we will never return to normal! In the absence of public leaders capable of inspiring confidence, it was “every man for himself.’’ Nor could people’s fears be dismissed as irrational, because no one knew how long the crisis would last, and because public services could not keep up with the need for help. The experience of the Blizzard showed both the extent of our dependence on the transportation system and the vulnerability of that system. Despite the attempts of human beings to build our own world through technology, Nature is still primary. Our technology cannot emancipate us from nature, although that is one of mankind’s oldest dreams. We cannot control the weather; we cannot even predict such natural catastrophes as floods, earthquakes and blizzards. Natural forces are variable, not constant Our civilization is fragile insofar as it cannot tolerate more than a limited range of environmental conditions. If we can learn to be more adaptable to the conditions imposed on us by nature, then humanity may survive the next Ice Age —Emily H. Goodman The author Is a former lecturer In History at Millard Fillmore College. The Blizzard of Recipe for disaster To the half million participants in this annual northern nightmare, Buffalo has always been uneasily called "home." But last winter brought a new meaning to the term. Home became a place to endure as well as endear. The Blizzard of 77 was one of nature’s very own idiosyncracies. anomalous event that only He could have prognosticated. Of course An there are exceptions to very rule and all will be relieved to know that those fearless forecasters of the National Weather Service were cognizant of the whole episode all along. The Blizzard arrived on January 28 complete with sub-zero temperatures. According to Paul Lazarus, a radar technician for the National Weather Service, the day brought “a fast moving area of high pressure and very low temperature.” When it reached the Buffalo metropolitan area, packing indominatable winds and the aforementioned temperatures. Thus, the Blizzard was bom. In essence the wind gusts were the main problem. Many who survived this ordeal believed that it was the shear snowfall that closed school and generally disrupted life for a week and a half. Actually only about a foot fell at the time, but 69 m.p.h. winds more than made up for a “stingy” snowfall. In some locations, drifts of up to 20 feet were recorded. The low temperature for January 28 was -4 degrees Farenheit at 11 a.m., the high a balmy 26 degrees. The following three days Buffalo fell into a respite with only slightly brutal 50 m.p.h. winds. Lazarus said, “It took about four days to blow itself out, four days of winds like that all contributed to the prolonged adversity." � SUNYABPubllt Affairs All this “togetherness” did not always foster personal warmth. As the week wore on, harsh words and personal differences arose from creeping cabin fever —G. Vanda ... ... * � * � So far this year we are trailing last year’s total snowfall record. As of January 23, 110.9 inches have fallen since October.1. Last year at this time Buffalo had seen 144 inches, some three feet more than this year. The major difference between this year and last is undoubtedly the wind. The relentless gusts fashioned imposing drifts that made many roads impassable for days on end. This year the snow seems to have fallen and remained at consistent depths throughout the city. On a month by month basis this winter: October was lower than the normal; November was slightly higher; December was just about average; January has been slightly below what is expected. Records set last winter include: 45 consecutive days without the mercury ever climbing to freezing; 53 days in a row with some snowfall; during January there were no days above freezing; and perhaps the most distinguished record Buffalo has to boast about is the 199.4 inches total snowfall from October 1 to May 8 of last year. -Lewis J.

The following Interview finally took place on a plane somewhere between New York and Washington, where It is rumored she will agree to terms of a new peace agreement with President Carter. that the volume of school closing questions has definitely increased since the Blizzard. “The feeling of the callers is, ‘Surely they’re going to close the school before we all get suckered in here’?’’ he said. Flake-mania doesn’t seem to stop people from going out to the bars, however. An employee of The Wurst Place, closest bar to the Main Street campus and the student surrounding neighborhood, said this winter’s storms have helped business. “People won’t go downtown to drink as much, for fear of getting stuck there in the snow." the Wurst Place has attracted an increasing UB crowd this year, he said. * ‘Hell of a time’ Brown, Bob manager of Central Park Grill (CPG), said that bad weather has had some effect on business, "but not as much as I had expected it to. Last Friday (20th) we had a great crowd, yet there was a big snowfall.” Brown said he thinks a lot of his customers are anticipating another blizzard. "Last year it never reached disastrous proportions and there was enough food to go around. People just had a hell of a good time," he commented. Brown felt that the Blizzard brought people together because they “felt small against the elements.” He said that this shared feeling has lasted, noting, “Now when someone gets stuck in the parking lot, people put on their coats and go out to help; we don’t even have to offer them a free drink! —Denise Stumpo ” «- The Spectrum: Outside of jimmy Carter’s ability to talk without moving his lips, your work was probably the most talked about national issue this year. Was there any reason for this Increase in public exposure? M. Nature: Why, of course! Just look around you; don’t you think this country is being overrun with softies? I sure do. The Spectrum: To tell you the truth, they look pretty weary to me. M. Nature: Weary! What have they got to be weary about? They’ve got air conditioning when they’re hot, heating when they’re cold, umbrellas when they’re all wet. I tell you, people are getting too used to creating their own environment. I had to put a stop to that. You know, if they think they’re — going to get rid of me with some new technological got another thing coming. The Spectrum: Are you talking about anything in particular? J M. Nature: Well, those new-fangled solar heating units, for one thing. A few well-placed cloudy days would really put a kink in that one. The Spectrum: I see. Getting back to your accomplishments last year, it seems to me that you didn’t really do anything you don’t normally do, you just moved to new locations. For instance, Buffalo had a record-breaking amount of snow, while Alaska and parts of the mid-west were virtually dry for much of the winter. M. Nature: That’s very true. Of course, you must realize that heavy snow in places like Colorado is nothing unexpected. I figured It would give them something to talk about if the situation were reversed. And, to tell you the truth, I kind of decided they could use a break from all the white stuff. The Spectrum: But you crippled the ski industry, their largest source of income, in the achievements, they’ve When Nature calls A fast-paced interview with Mother portrays her as a tough nut to crack process. M. Nature: Well, now you’re getting back to what I was talking about before. It’s not my fault they can’t make any money on their own. They sure don’t ask me to spend it with them; why should I help them earn it? The way the big businesses are trying to push me out, you’d think they’d be glad I wasn’t around anymore. I had to do those dippy margarine commercials to make my money. You remember those? Pretty insulting stuff, but I needed the bucks. It’s a dog-eat-dog world out there, honey.

For manufacturers who produced blizzard memorabilia, all that snow proved a financial windfall. Souvenir T-shirts, coffee mugs, plaques, survival certificates, pendants, games and even bottled snow commemorating the worst winter in 107 years are available throughout Western New York. A blizzard T-shirt depicts a disgruntled bull, dressed in boots, scarf, and hat. Surrounded by snow, he holds a shovel in a gloved hoof. The T-shirt’s caption reads, “I survived the Blizzard of 77.” According to local salesmen, sales of the T-shirt slackened after the initial novelty wore off. Another souvenir of Buffalo's 42 consecutive snow days is a Certificate of Survival. Selling for about a dollar, this piece of paper certifies that the holder has “overcome, surmounted, and otherwise survived what shall heretofore be known as the Great Blizzard of 77.” It also lists essential dates along with records the Blizzard set. A salesman at University Plaza guaranteed that the certificate would be a collector’s item in the future. L.L. Berger stores, "Buffalo’s first family of fashion,” recently ran a Blizzard promotion. Referring to the storm, the heading reads, "Just remember the warmth.” Besides advertising an amateur Blizzard photo contest, Berger’s is selling a historical photo book entitled “Buffalo Buried.” Also, one may purchase a 14-karat gold snow shovel pendant, inscribed with "Blizzard of 77” for “only” $50-$75. Sunny Side up The most commercially successful article of memorabilia is the Blizzard of 77 Travel Game, manufactured by C. P. Marino Company. Since marketing in July, over 50,000 games have been sold, according to company president Charles P. Marino. Marino designed the game after being stuck in a Buffalo suburb for two days. The Blizzard of 77 Travel Game consists of a two-sided game board. The object of the game is to return home after receiving five essential playing cards, which are labeled “work, food store, bank, hardware store, and drug store.” Suiting on the "sunny side,” players move their pieces through streets labeled Thruway, Main Street, Fuhrmann Boulevard, Youngman and Kensington Expressways. Weather cards, similar to Monopoly’s Community Chest, are drawn. If the Blizzard card is picked, the game board is turned over to the "blizzard side.” As Rule 11 of the game sutes, “The Blizzard Strikes.” Such obsUcles as dead batteries, high drifts, zero visibility, and skids make it harder to get home. One can go to jail for landing on wrong spaces, such as the mayor’s driving ban. Former Buffalo Mayor Makowski is mentioned in the rules. Losers come here Marino offered reasons why people reminisce about a snow disaster. He believes the blizzard was an adventure, which brought many people together. “We ourselves did not cause the blizzard, but I’m proud of how we reacted to it,” he added. Promotions of Western New York’s stormy weather are not limited to this area. Disc Jockey Jack Harris of radio station WFLA in Tampa, Florida is offering a contest in which the winners will be given free tickets to Disney World. Losers of this “Great Snow Job Contest” will be sent to Buffalo for a weekend in February. Marino’s Blizzard Game is marketed in fifteen states, as far South and West respectively as Florida and Oregon. Ford Motor Company’s slogan in Georgia exclaims, “if a Ford can last through the Blizzard of 77, then it can last in Columbus, Georgia." Excedrin’s advertisements ask, “What do Buffalonians take for a headache?” .■ Recent local editorials have blamed excessive commercialization as the cause of the headache. Sales promotions depicting “Blizzard Survival” and capitalizing on a disaster have been criticized for giving Buffalo a reputation as a dangerous place to live. —Tony Amplo Because of its implications td native BuffalonianS stranded within their own city, as well as to outsiders trapped within the disaster, the “Blizzard of 77” was a major influence in shaping or changing people’s impressions of “The City of Good Neighbors.” Virtually hundreds of visitors to the city were stranded when the storm cut off all modes of transportation not only in and out of Buffalo, but also within the city. The national news coverages of the event introduced many to a large, but formerly not too important city. Opinions vary as to how the Blizzard affected outsiders’ feelings of Buffalo, although it is generally agreed that the city’s misfortune gave it national attention and the it as snowbelt of stereotyped the northeast. The Director of Community Affairs for the Buffalo Area Chamber of Commerce, Al Cooper, stated, “Nationally, whether the storm was good or bad, it let everyone know where Buffalo was located. The situation was magnified however, which led to an over-emphasized image of our weather. I get the feeling that the four-day situation made people think we’re like that 365 days a year.” A question of survival A Public Information Specialist for the Buffalo District of the Ross Corps of Engineers, Fredenberg supported Cooper’s statement. “People from outside of the city think of Buffalo as having severe winters and a dreary environment,” he said. "The man I worked for last year at the time of the Blizzard has since taken a job in New Orleans. He tells me . people came from Buffalo he is forced on the defensive by questions such as ‘How did you survive?’ When asked -if he though people were serious when they" questioned Buffalonians’ survival, Fredenberg ” responded affirmatively saying, "The Blizzard set Buffalo with a type of pioneer image. People feel Buffalonians face tremendous hardships when winter comes.” Many hotel managers and staff members expressed the same opinions. Karen McDonough, a secretary at the Airport Holiday Inn which accomodated at least 500 strandees last January claimed, “People from outside of Buffalo saw the unity and combined efforts of the people in the city, but I think their impressions of Buffalo were most greatly formed in regard to the weather. Whenever people call here they alway ask what the weather is like. They are really hesitant to visit during the winter months.” No help more positive A slightly opinion was expressed by two other sources. “I think people from outside of the city left with a positive feeling of Buffalo," said Resident Manager of the Statler Hilton Hotel, Mel Siorczak. “You could feel the warmth among the people. If anything, I think the Blizzard was a shot in the arm for the city. The detrimental effects such as inconviences were erased by the unity.” The General Manager of the Inn-Buffalo East, Sheraton Kenneth Ranchil stated, ‘To outsiders of the city, the Blizzard certainly didn’t help the image of Buffalo.” However, he added, “I do think that the negative feelings and publicity, were dissipated by the unity in the efforts of those stranded.” As for Buffalonians’ of their impressions city since the storm, the overwhelming opinion is that the event exemplified a closeness where people worked together for everyone’s benefit. the effects were “Locally said. “It interesting,” Cooper brought the people of the city closer and formed a unity. Proof of this ties in the fact that parties and reunions are arranged for the next three days. I think it’s good that after adversity people can rally and laugh, not at the sorrow but at what was generally a difficult situation.” McDonough also supported the idea that the storm, frequently termed a was “disaster,” beneficial to Buffalo. “People who lived in and around Buffalo that were stranded tried to enjoy themselves and were encouraged by the warmth betweeen everyone. I think that impression lasted and really helped the city,” she said. Perhaps, the infamous Blizzard of ’77 was the impetus needed to promote actions which would fulfill the expectations behind the term “City of Good Neighbors.” —Elena Cacauas .The Blizzard which made Buffalo an international news item was probably a very scary nightmare for those souls out there who never experienced anything similar. I was not among them I come from a city which has had its share of “winter catastrophies,” Oswego and since I was accustomed to this type of phenomenon, Buffalo’s Blizzard just seemed to be a familiar scene —P.

A more effective prison could not be devised. -R.C. Moore ... ’ Exiled on Main St SfSf v Goodyear's prisoners banged their cages As the fury of the storm spent itself on the city, closed the University and caged in dormitory students like prisoners in their ceils, the residents of Goodyear Hall shared the excitement, fought the boredom, partied their brains out, and survived what the T-shirt industry now propagates as ‘The Blizzard of 77." Over 900 students were trapped in Goodyear, excluding countless numbers of friends and bed partners who were unable to return to their houses or rooms on the Amherst Campus. People congregated in the lounges watching squats move in from the northwest and within a period of just a few minutes, swirl around, encircling the dorms. Outside, people walked with their heads bent to the wind, trying to find their cars, get across Main Street to Super Duper, or stock up at Leo Simmons Liquor Store. Temperatures were the now rumored to range from 40 degrees below zero to minus eighty with the wind chill factor. Of course, when it gets that cold, the temperature became another statistic in the ever-increasing bits of trivia. Statistics were constantly being recorded. The unfortunate few who had frozen to death, the increasing masses of people trapped in their offices, the number of National Guardsmen being called in to help this stricken city, and the inevitable mounting number of inches of snow.

On Monday, the University announced that school would be closed through Thursday, but everyone knew that the Friday opening was just to prevent people from abandoning the city for the weekend. It didn't help. Every day some determined claustrophobic would try and escape. Many did, sonfe getting captured, snowed-in somewhere else, some getting home, and others, defeated, forced to turn back. For the people who stayed, there were countless games of Scrabble, backgammon, monopoly, whist, hearts and fute. Televisions and stereos played endlessly. The Inter-Residence Council (IRC) had a free movie marathon and a Gong Show. Goodyear Cafeteria had never seen so many souls with the possible exception of the John Valby beer blast last year. It was a captive audience. The rest of the country was going “Buffalo crazy;” Newspapers and television hyped the storm. Parents called their kids asking, “Do you have heat. Are you all right. What are you doing for food?” The response: "Yeah. Rne. Don’t worry. Bye.” Johnny Carson and Saturday Nitfu Live feasted upon Buffalo jokes.

Never before have so many cooped-up people lived together for a whole week in such a splendid stupor. There were hardly any exceptions. Dru&, sex and wild parties rocked the walls of Ellicott, and no one seemed ready to stop. “I really can’t remember too much about the blizzard except that there was a lot of snow, and it was windy and I was stoned.” —Jens Rasch, Wilkeson Quad The sentiments were just about the same for everyone who was trapped in the Emerald City during the Great Storm of yesteryear; everyone partied and partied until the crackling of AM radios reluctantly announced the reopening of the University. And even then, the carnage continued to the. end of the semester, leaving many students academically anaesthetized. “A lot of people started partying and kept right on partying. There was definitely a decline in academic interest after the blizzard,” said one Wilkeson RA, Joe Yabor. Many people claimed that it was too early in the semester to start "getting into” school, because no one had their schedules together, and even fewer people had books. One RA from Richmond, George Talboys, commented, “The big problem was that I only had one book, and after the first couple of days, I got really bored. There was really nothing else to do but abuse your body.” Only in Gasport The Pub was closed after the first couple of because the University Police were concerned about transporting students in case of an emergency like an overdose. According to Assistant Director of University Police lack Eggert, the number of incoming calls to University Police headquarters increased dramatically. Many people were calling because they had no money, no food, and no place to stay. Some students even called to ask if University Police could take them home. “I only live in Gasport,” one unabashed student pleaded. People called the police for general assistance. Often, University Police had to brave the blistering winds of the storm to rescue people who tried to travel. “We rescued a bunch of students who were trying to get to Governor’s,” Eggert said. When on their rescue missions, the snow squad followed a snow plow in order to reach their destinations, but after the first few days they were able to use jeeps with four-wheel drive. About a dozen officers were stranded at the Ellicott Complex. They stayed in Porter Quad and had their headquarters at the Health Services office in Porter. “It was really nice being there. We took shifts and the kids were great. They gave us blankets, pillows and sleeping bags and were really nice to us.” One Porter resident reminisced about spending the Blizzard days with the officers, "They were really great people. They partied with us, but they really did an awful lot of work.” Anchorage? The Housing Office was busy keeping everyone happy and offered many sundry activities for partied-out people to attend. A group of Head Residents compiled a newsletter called the “I'd rather be in Anchorage Alaska News,” which told of many activities and summarized the current waether report. One Wilkeson Head Resident, Joni McCool, explained how the Housing staff worked to keep people busy and out of trouble. “We were constantly having staff meetings. There was a group of lawyers who were stranded in Spaulding after a conference. We asked them to make a presentation, something to keep people out of mischief." Desperate Ellicottians showed up for the seminar, according to McCool, part of which was a reinactment of the Sam Shepherd case. It was probably the only really intellectual thing going on in all of Ellicott. “I was interested in seeing some education , take place,” McCool said. v .

V I _ * ■' — mm Page ten SHm Thi Spectrum �77, Buffalo led more than fall nation snow the in the an City experienced also increased Queen rate of sexual activity, according to experts Besides, we had to keep warm," she said. One dorm student was puzzled about During the Blizzard of - his participation in a quickie affair with a woman he normally wasn’t interested in. “I don’t know. It just happened. I can’t put / ' my finger on it," he said. and personal accounts. Couples disappeared for the duration, . singles indulged in quickly started and quickly finished “snow affairs,” some partyers got too burned out for much of anything and all others —'■ who either weren’t interested in or prevented from sex found outlets for their frustration. Arthur Kryns, Professor in the School of Social Work here, and author of a report on the Blizzard, confirmed the higher sex rate. In his study, Buffalo Blizzard of 77. The Human Experience, Kryns said, many indulged in “time-killing people recreational and consumptive behaviors [including] several instances of sexual activities.” A lot of people used the Blizzard to have a good time," commented Kryns. “They were confined; there was nothing to do but wait for the storm to subside.” Much needed rest Some students literally moved into a partner’s room. “I didn’t live in my room at all,” reported one such woman. Another female moved her mattress into her boyfriend’s room so that they could both get some much needed rest. In a Main Street dorm, things got a little more adventuresome. Reportedly, some males tried to organize an orgy. They readied the matwesses and invited the participants. But The Spectrum was unable to find out the results of that endeavor. Of course, not all students (or even most) were sexually active during the Blizzard. Many, many of them were either too trunk or too stoned to be at all interested. Others just didn’t have the opportunity, arid members of that group dealt with their frustrations in various ingenious ways. - Black market rubbers Director of the Sexuality Education Center Ellen Foley agreed with Kryns and said that, unfortunately, -a lot of people were caught without birth control. The Center cancelled four clinics during the storm and thus many students had tittle accessibility to contraceptives. According to one Ellicott resident, some students exploited this situation by selling their extra condoms at a significant mark-up. And some students were forced to do without contraception, as evidenced by the increased number of women who underwent pregnancy tests after the Blizzard. Among the happiest students during the Blizzard were those students who had a boyfriend or girlfriend close by. One active lad, who said he was usually too busy to have much sex, remembers the Blizzard nostalgically; “I just stayed in bed with my girlfriend all the time.” Did they have time td be more inventive than usual? ''Definitely." Pro-social contract Of course, for some people it wasn’t tfiat easy. One determined student did manage to drive to his girlfriend's house some seven miles away at the height of the storm. But another commuter student was frustrated when he hiked to his girlfriend’s house a few blocks away and could do no Sex and the fling or whirl Some feasted on carnal knowledge while others suffered in celibacy more than hold hands (her parents were home) According to Kryns, many people experience increased pro-social behavior during a disaster and this phenomenon was also evidenced by the many students who had sexual contact as a result of the Blizzard. One off-campus female noted that both she and her housemate had affairs that they wouldn’t have had in normal times. One woman was generally very faithful to her out-of-state boyfriend, but during the Blizzard started seeing and then sleeping with a man she had met in a bar. The other housemate had a one night stand with an old friend. Both relationships ended when school began again. Why was their behavior different during the Blizzard? “We were bored and we wanted some excitement. Affectionate dog One off-canipus resident reported that one of his three housemates was havingsex regularly with his girlfriend. “We were all very conscious that we weren’t having sex, so wp lavished increased attention on our dog,” he said. A desperate dormie even broke into Fillmore 170 to see IRC's illegal clip of “Deep Throat.” Another student, a member of an all female household, said that all her housemates did was eat: “We all gained ten pounds from the Blizzard.” She also said that they were all totally inactive sexually. "Maybe that’s why we ate so much,” she mused. Many dorm residents were literally on the outside looking in as their roommates bedded partners while they sought other places to sleep. A student in Governors reported being driven from his room for days by his roommate’s “red thumb tack” signal. One dorm female, strictly an observer, thought that there wasn’t much more activity, but that it was conducted in a different way. "Usually, people sneak around at 4 a.m., but during the Blizzard, people were brazeningly having sex in Jhe afternoon. They were less concerned about privacy,” She explained. —joy Clark " ‘ In the face of adversity Nothing stays the die-hards from their a-printed rounds Deep down we’re probably all romantics and we're in it for the excitement The wind chill factor was -43 Thursday, January 27, 1977, and Western New York was bracing for three new inches of snow that day. Roads were already impassable before the morning rush hour and the school and business dosings read like the Buffalo Yellow Pages except, as the radio announcers icily pointed out, “UB is open.” The Spectrum staff, converging from Amherst, Clarence ancl all parts of Buffalo, started the third day’s work on a 24-page Friday issue when the University's announcement of closing came at 9 a.m. Though we all decried the absurdity of not closing (one of the Friday editorials blasted the University Administration for its insensitivity), we were left facing 24 pages that perhaps no one else would see since the University had no plans to reopen before Monday. Never having scrapped an issue, we rationalized that the students at . Amherst would be stranded (we didn’t realize how prophetic a statement this would be for all the residents of Western New York) and they would read the issue from cover to cover if we could deliver it to the printer and then get the papers to the Amherst Campus. A certain pride Phone calls: Would the printer remain open? Would the delivery people attempt to run from the Cheektowaga printing plant to the Amherst Campus? There is a certain pride in accomplishing the near-impossible and, though most of the University community didn’t see it, The Spectrum delivered a 24-page edition to the Amherst and Main Street Campuses on Friday, January 28, 1977, the first day of the Blizzard that would make international news. The newspaper for Monday, January 31, was cancelled before it was begun. The official closing announcement had made it clear the University was remaining flexible on a Monday reopening and The Spectrum could not knowingly publish two issues with reduced readership because of the financial risks involved. On Thursday the advertisements and announcements already scheduled for Monday paper were squeezed that into the nearly-completed Friday edition. As the weekend ended, the blizzard continued and there was no question that the University along with the rest of the city would remain closed indefinitely. Smorgasbord For the next few days the staff was segmented, some Withering in the Bailey Avenue bars, others making beer runs at Ellicott, and some finishing their incomplete for the first time since they became active staff members. Story assignments, decisions concerning when and how many pages to print, security clearance to enter the locked Student Union were all handled by telephone. We anticipated less than '24 hours notice to produce our next issue. The city-wide driving ban was lifted Thursday and the University planned to reopen the following day, Friday, February 4. A core staff gathered in The Spectrum office laying out an oddly-assorted smorgasbord that would sustain us if we became stranded. Stories had to be dictated over the telephone since the inter-campus buses were not running. Again phone calls to the printer and the delivery people were made. Everyone in the office did whatever was needed to complete the issue. It snowed all that day. The five inches new accumulation made a total of more than 40 inches on the ground. Snarled traffic hampered plowing efforts and, as of Thursday night, February 3, the city had another ban on driving. The University cancelled its plans to reopen Friday. Again we had produced an issue that bencfitted only dorm residents. There were no plans for a Monday issue. The information in the February 4 edition was still current at that time. The Spectrum resumed its normal publication schedule Wednesday, February 9. —Midge Bork Page eleven �E 347 Richmond Quadrangle 636-2211, 2212 * YOUR DORM STUDENT GOVERNMENT that give* you more: memDersrap ree for PgB -M.

M. Nature: Are you kidding? I put that city on the map. Do you know that Buffalo made the front page of the London'Times? People were talking about that all summer long. All you had to do was mention that you were in Buffalo during the blizzard and you were an instant hit at cocktail parties. And what about all those cute little tee shirts they made afterwards? "1 survived the Blizzard of 77.” At least they had a sense of humor about the whole thing. Not like those crybabies out on the West Coast. Okay, so it was a little parched’ out there this summer. You give’em some rain and right away they’re screaming “flood, flood.” You just can’t win. The Spectrum: As far as I know, it was more than “some” rain. M. Nature: Well, whatever. I never did like that west-coast attitude; a bunch of spoiled car freaks, if you ask me. 1 suppose I did give it to them a bit more than necessary; although they’re still not out of the dark as far as their water supply is concerned. I understand restaurants out there are still charging a dime for a glass of water. The Spectrum: In other words, you thought the people in Buffalo handled the storm well? M. Nature: Oh, yes, yes. People were so nice to each other then. Going to the store, shoveling out cars. I thought-it was kind of heart-warming to see people skiing along Main Street without having to worry about getting hit by cars. Unfortunately, the Mayor didn’t get the message,, so I had to bring in that second storm to get him to reinstate the ban dh driving. But yes, I wanted to do something that would bring everybody together, get them to meet their neighbors, you know? I thought I, and the people, succeeded nicely in that area. Did you know that there was a marked increase in childbirths nine months after the blizzard; very similar to the one that occurred in New York after the first blackout? The Spectrum: Speaking of which, what was the reason behind the blackout in New York this summer? That was pretty brutal. M. Nature: Well, I’ll tell you a secret: I didn’t actually plan on knocking out that power station. Some smartass thunderbolt did that on its own. Originally, I called for a good-sized rainstorm; something to show those dumb city officials that they’re all wet, in my opinion. We got a tad overzealous on that one. But did you catch that Manhattan skyline, with all the lights out and the moon in the background? What a knockout! Very impressionistic! I made a special trip to Brooklyn to see that. The Spectrum: Are you saying there are aesthetic considerations in your work? M. Nature: Usually, although people don’t always appreciate them. The ice storm on Long Island last week looked great. All the plants had that coating of ice around them that glistened so nice in the sun. The snow was mainly for the kids; they don’t get much of an opportunity to go sleigh riding there. The Spectrum: One last question. Could you explain those strange explosions being heard off the Atlantic coast? Even scientists are baffled. M. Nature: I’d rather not say anything about that now. I want to keep the suspense going. National Enquirer has been doing that one up big; if your readers want the real story, maybe they could read it there. —Gerard Sternesky Emerald City Despite its frightening manner, The Blizzard of ‘77 was not a traumatic experience for a majority of area residents. The storm’s impact upon the lives of Buffalo area residents was not an “unconditionally negative one” according to a research study done by Professor of Social Psychology Arthur G. Cryns and assistant, Raymond T. Conjeski. The project, entitled: “The Buffalo Blizzard of ’77. A Human Experience,” culminated in a 72 page report “descriptive of Buffalo area resident reactions to the Blizzard of ’77.” Personal property and income losses, although substantial in a cumulative sense, were relatively light and affected a minority of the area labor force. Anxiety and fear reactions were reported by a surprisingly small number of respondents. The Blizzard provided a number of area residents with a welcome opportunity to be at home with family and friends. Some found the storm as an occasion to celebrate. The study ranks the Blizzard as the least destructive of common natural hazards. This finding, the study reads, “is particularly noteworthy if one considers that all had first hand knowledge of the storm and that most faced it without forewarning. 69 items The research was based on interviews with a random sampling of 103 city and suburban residents from Buffalo, Amherst, and Orchard Park. The residents interviewed were 18 years of age and older. The survey used a 69 item questionaire containing specific blizzard related questions. In addition, a modified version of a sentence completion test aided in uncovering responses to specific blizzard experience the emotions involved and the amount of external vs. internal emotional control. Results of the study describe economic losses, socio-behavioral effects, help and assistance from others, local government handling of snow, advance warning and precautions taken during the blizzard. Research shows that economic losses were caused mainly by the storm itself. 40 percent of the total sample reported some measure of personal property loss and damage caused by the heavy snowfall. The dollar value of these losses varied from - $10 to $3,000. 62 per cent of all respondents lost one or more days of work during the storm. Of these, 44 per cent also encountered some form of wage and pay loos; the median amount being $279. Income loss for suburban workers was slightly less than for city workers. For the sample as a whole, confinement and isolation was regarded as the major disadvantage of the blizzard. Affective reactions to the storm such as anxiety and fear make up only 16 percent of the sample response. Anxiety and apprehension was higher among elderly females (60 years or older) while isolation and reduced mobility was mentioned predominately by young adults, elderly males and by women of all ages. Those living alone felt restricted more often than those living with others. However, those living alone were affected less negatively than might have been expected. The relief efforts assumed by area organizations were tremendous; The Buffalo Chapter of the American Red Cross reported that it fed SO,000 persons during the first five days of the snow emergency and the Salvation Army gave out over 46,000 food packages along with serving meals to literally thousands of people. The organization also distributed clothing and' provided emergency housing. The study reports that 37 percent of all respondents received some form of assistance from others during the bad weather. 47 percent of the sample singled out friends as the most frequent source of aid, followed by relatives and immediate family. There was a low proportion of aid from public officials. Suburbs plowed better Respondents gave “good” to "fair” ratings when asked to evaluate the City of Buffalo and the Towns of Amherst and Orchard Park in the handling of the snow crisis. The suburban areas fared much better than the City of Buffalo in snow plowing. In evaluation of the city driving bam, 88 percent agreed that it was necessary, and 34 percent said they were restricted by the ban. Most agreed that an adequate snow removal job was done under the conditions. However, the area public noted a general lack of preparation for a major storm. According to the study, on January 28 most area residents went about their lives routinely without any forewarning of a blizzard. This is a shocking claim since the day of the blizzard, the National Weather Service had issued a winter storm watch at 5 a.m., which was upgraded to a blizzard warning six hours later. Among those who were aware of a forewarning, the radio was mentioned most frequently as a source, followed by television. Results from the study also suggest that those who had received advance warning were as prepared as those who were surprised hours later. —Leah B. Levine . . .

According to McCool, the Housing staff learned a;lot. “RA’s now have their own first aid kits, and I’d like to see an intercom system developed in Ellicott to announce important news in case of another emergency like that one,’’ she concluded. tuxedos galore One of the most important affects the Blizzard had on Ellicott was the way rumors seemed to spread like wildfire. People were constantly launching skiing trips to 7-11 for beer, food and munchies, and great tales of the outdoors filled the indoors. George Talboys remembered one such story; “Supposedly some guy tied a sheet to his ankles and wrists and glided across the lake on skis. I don’t know how true it was, but it was a great story to tell." A resident of Red Jacket, Larry Knipfmg, told about how he saw people gliding on Food Service trays down the slope outside his window. Knipfmg remembered one particular party which Buffalonian Editor Libby Post attended, "She broke her ankle when she stepped off an elevator but she couldn’t get to a hospital right away.

Would shift defense funds Proposed amendment designed to aid cities by Bradshaw Hovey Spectrum Staff Writer NYPIRG's Esther Misrahi campaigns for NFG Boycott Assurances that gas won’tbe cut off President Carter was attacked Wednesday for breaking his promises to cut defense spending and aid the Cities by members of the Buffalo Common Council and a coalition of community groups led by the Western New York Peace Center. University District Councilman Eugene M. Fahey announced he would introduce a resolution to have the City back the WNY Peace Center’s call to support passage in Congress of a transfer amendment, sponsored by representatives from Baltimore and Buffalo. The amendment to the budget resolution for fiscal year 1979 would trim funds from the military budget and channel savings into jobs, housing, energy, agriculture and military conversion. South District Councilman James P. Keane explained his support for the amendment as a political act. “We’re pleading as Democrats to a Democratic President and a Democratic Congress,’’ he said, to pay “die same amount of attention to problems of the cities as to the military industrial complex.” Fight for cutbacks Boycott of NFC planned by NYPIRG, citizens group ' The Citizen’s Alliance and New York Public Interest Group (NYPIRG), have organized a 106 day W*oycott or thtf'Nitionil Fuel Gas Corporation (NFG), which will bags January 28.

Parren Marxist studies examined as nine lecture series begins Lower budget ceilings The Transfer Amendment would not switch money from specific military programs to specific “human needs” programs, but would lower the budget ceilings in the former categories while raising them in the latter ones. Specific and binding reallocations of funds would be mode by the House Appropriations Committee on the basis of recommendations made in the Transfer Amendment. . The Coalition for a New Foreign and Military Policy, a national organization leading a Transfer Amendment campaign, has published a “model. Transfer Amendment” which would cut military spending by $1$ million and increase “human needs” programs by an equal amount. It recommends that the Pentagon reduce spending in nudear arms, covert action by the CIA, military aid to dictators, “interventionist military forces” and a variety of other areas. The model amendment calls for increases in funding for community development programs, housing, the Urban Development Bank, mass transit, home weatherization, CETA, military conversion, health care research, nutrition, farm support, solar energy, energy research and conservation programs.

They are well broken in. He explains how “differences in lifestyle separated people politically” back when. Now, he says, people aren’t interested in “whether someone’s living with their wife or they’re living with their girlfriend.” Rather, they are interested in “the real issues,” such as “the survival of the City.” Apparently, he is right, because 9740 people in the University by electing District, him Councilman, ignored the fact that “a completely radical change in Eugene M. Fahey, age 26, is a your life style.” Fahey works 12 card-carrying son of the sixties. to 15 hours a day, Ik says, and Gene Fahey is part of a new there is little time for a social life. wave of councilmen well And what there is of it revolves educated, well versed in the issues around his work at City Hall and of community development and involves the people that work neighborhood preservation, and there with him. which has independent “But that’s the life. If you transformed the Council, He goes don’t want it, don’t run for it,” he so far as to describe the changes as says. Gene Fahey did run for it, a “kind of revolution in Buffalo and in the only way it’s still done politics.” It used to be, he says, in Buffalo. He walked. Four or that “if the Mayor or the County five hours a day for months, he wanted something walked door to door in the Chairman ringing passed, it got passed,” but now University District, the new Councilmen “listen to doorbells, talking to people, their neighborhoods and their shaking hands. And he liked it. “A campaign is so well defined. own consciences Either you win or you lose. Other problems in life just drag on and Too restricting on,” the councilman explains. The scenario of Fahey’s transition from adolescent to As a Councilman it is those adult is not so different from that other problems with which Fahey of a lot of people who grew up must deal. Stray dogs, lousy during the boiling, out-of-joint landlords, no gas, no water, no years of the sixties. He graduated electricity, hanging tree limbs, from St. Joe’s Collegiate Institute abandoned cars, run-down houses, in 1969 and enrolled at Canisius pot-holes, slow cops, no cops and College. After less than a semester of course, “I haven’t seen a plow he stopped going to classes, on this street in years.” Fahey his tuition, and stopped paying says satisfying that simply disappeared. He found constituents on such chronic Canisius “too restricting.” He problems “saps all your energy to became involved in the anti-war deal with bigger issues,” but that movement, participating in if he provides that kind of service Buffalo, to his constituents they will demonstrations in Albany and in Washington. After “trust” him when he does pursue a year and a half he went back to bigger issues. school, this time to this University.

The Convention Center, hotel? and the proposed “Theater District” would create jobs for “taxicab drivers, waitresses and cleaning ladies,” he remarks. “I’ve driven a cab and I wouldn’t recommend it as a way of life.” To Fahey “jobs mean an expansion of our industrial base.” In a service economy he forsees a city split into two classes of people: “the people who serve the drinks and the people who are wealthy enough to afford it.” Although Fahey can grasp the larger context of the City’s woes, his main focus is on his own district, which he likens to “the plain of Poland that the armies of blight are marching back and forth across.” He looks to the formulation of a comprehensive plan that will deal with all of his districts major problems parks, personal security. schools, housing, neighborhood business areas, and jobs simultaneously. — — Critical of University Fahey blames a lack of vision on the part of elected officials for “a piecemeal approach” to the problems of Buffalo. And he also cites the location. of the new Amherst Campus, Rich Stadium, and the Audubon UDC project outside of the city as evidence of that same lack of vision. “All these decisions have crucified Buffalo over the years,” he says. Fahey is critical of the University in other ways. ‘They always say they’re going to help the city but it always costs us money.” Their assistance, he says, “is linked to whatever dollars they Career counseling The Educational Opportunity Program is now offering career counseling to interested students. Counseling whlU be available on a drop-in basis and by appointment. Students are encouraged to browse in the newly-formed career information library. Throughout the semester the program will sponsor guest speakers and job skills workshops. his Sitting behind Councilman’s desk, in his office overlooking the Niagara River, Fahey talks about the changes in politics. It is not that the forces of have right any made breakthrough. It is a demographic change. People get older. The ones who were once young will now be in charge and just because they are different, things will be different. “I never thought in 1970 that I’d be doing anything like this,” he says. “But I wanted to do something. I wanted to do something.” Correction In Wednesday’s edition of The Spectrum, an error was made in an article about the Student Association of the State University (SASU). The refusal to pay cards distributed by SASU in protest of the new Health Fee should not be sent to Albany, but should be kept by the individual student. SASU will keep replicas of the cards on file. Nothing should be sent to Albany. The Spectrum apologizes for the error Wet T-shirt night a washed up event The scheduled Wet T-Shirt Night at the Wilkeson Pub has been swamped as an evening of entertainment. The controversial event was cancelled last Friday by Director of Food Service Donald Hosie because “it is not Food Service’s responsibility to provide entertainment.” Hosie defended his decision saying, “I wanted to fall back, regroup, identify just what our charter is and establish a set of guidelines for this type of event. Also, what happens if someone disrobed in the Pub? We could lose our liquor license.” The contest was originally scheduled because Student Association (SA) officials had met with Food Service administrators and requested that more types of programs be sponsored at the EUicott Complex. Assistant Director of Food Service Donald Bozek stated, “In talking with student government officials, they said not a whole lot of programming was going on out there. They wanted to see more party-type themes sponsored by Food Service.” He added that some SA officials had said there is not a heck of a lot to do out there during the weekday evenings. Sexist? SA President Dennis Delia sfid, “1 think it would have been all in fun, but I’m not upset that it’s cancelled. A lot of Buffalo bars have that kind of entertainment and that’s probably why they thought of having it in the Pub.” Hosie said, “It was well-intended, but not in good taste. I would like to establish a Program Review Committee composed of students and administrators to establish guidelines for entertainment. Up to now, the Pub has not been charged with being responsible for entertainment. Food Service may be infringing on the responsibility of other student organizations.” Student reactions to the Wet T-Shirt night and the subsequent cancellation were quite diverse. Most frequently heard were, “I think it’s ridiculous,” and “I can’t believe it’s cancelled.” Other reactions included, “I’m a horny bastard,” and ''We’re dealing with the mentality of fifteen year olds, who go behind the house and jerk-off with Playboy." One boasting female said, T was going to enter and win,” while another suggested that the Pub should sponsor a Wet-Underwear Night for men to provide “equal time.” “In a University atmosphere, where we are supposed to act more like adults than idiots, I think it doesn’t belong,” reacted one male. “I wouldn’t get my jollies watching it." Many questioned how many contestants were going to appear. “Sexist, lude, entertaining, or obnoxious;” no one will know if the contest would have swum or sunk.

However, earlier reports linking the outbreak to food poisoning have been all but scrapped in the wake of cases breaking out as late as Tuesday. In addition, investigators are said to be “leaning against food poisoning” because of the lack of a common denominator; the victims did not all eat in the same place nor the same foods. The first wave of the illness occurred last Sunday night, when 22 students complained of nausea, diarrhea and vomiting, accompanied in some cases by chills and a fever. By afternoon the following day, the number of sick students had risen to 50 and campus health officials contacted the Erie County Health Department for aid in determining The State Cause the nature of the illness. Nothing confirmed Mary Lou Fleissner, a communicable disease specialist with the county, coordinated the efforts of sanitarians investigating on campus. Cultures were taken and sent to county labs; the results were unavailable as of Wednesday evening. In addition, the regional offices of the State Health Department sent inspectors to the kitchen of the school’s Scajaquada Dining Hall where all remaining food from Sunday’s dinner was confiscated and tested for contamination. Nothing was confirmed in the way of food poisoning despite the great similarity and symptoms. Prevailing suspicions have shifted towards a flu-type virus, according to M. Sullivan, Assistant to the Director of Health Services at Buffalo State College. ‘They’re now trying to isolate the virus,” she said. Fleissner concurred, saying, “It is similar to the typical flu outbreaks in the community. These explosive proportions are not usually reached in the community, however.” Seasonal peak Director of Health Services at this University M. Luther Musselmen, has been in contact with health officials from both the county and the college. He reported that nothing with similar symptoms turned up in their clinics, but he plans to “be prepared.” Musselmen acknowledged that the flu is at “a high seasonal peak now, but the type here on campus has already been identified as Type A.” Asked whether he thought the “Buff State Strain” might spread f further to encompass students here, he replied, “Until I really know what it is,) can’t say whether it will affect this campus.” Despite growing evidence against the food poisoning theory, Buffalo State College Food Service officials were unavailable for comment as their phone lines were continuously busy Wednesday afternoon. And students are not letting the issue die easy. Alan Paley, an on-campus student and participant in BSC’s meal plan was one of the more than 160 struck down by the as yet unidentified illness. Hours curtailed Paley described symptoms already identified by health officials: “From six to ten Monday morning, I threw up about twelve times. I still have headaches and stomach aches. I knew people that have had food poisoning with the same symptoms.” Despite the build-up and publicity surrounding their mysterious illness, students at the college don’t seem panicky or hesitant to eat in the dining halls. As for spreading off the campus, most stricken students were treated at the campus health center. However, a few were treated at area hospitals. The incience of influenza at this time of the year is typically high; close quarters facilitate the spreading of the virus. Two area hospitals, Millard Fillmore and Millard Fillmore Suburban, have curtailed visiting hours due to the flu. And just last week, Holy Angels Academy, a Buffalo school, closed its doors for two days with one-third of the students and faculty out with another flu virus. - SU^ I 10 Food Service looking to add students Meal plan options benefit all by Beth Randeli Staff Writer Spectrum “I think it’s good. It’s convenient. I wanted it last year and they didn’t have it,” said senior Dave Vickery, about the new five-tneals-a-week Plan Food Service (FUS) is now offering. “I didn’t want to cook but I didn’t want to starve either,” another student, Angela Scipioni commented. Students tend to agree that the new option of any one meal a day, five days a week is a beneficial addition to the Board Contract Program. This new meal plan option also benefits Food Service, according to Assistant Director Donald Bozek. Without this new addition. Food Service might have lost those students who were unable to eat ten meals or more a week due to either a shortage of funds or class scheduling conflicts. On the new plan students can conveniently fit whichever meal they choose each day into their schedules. Bozek said that requests for this five meal a week plan began in September 1976 but at that time FVS did not feel it would benefit students who would lose money if they missed too many meals. Food Service officials could also see certain negative outcomes on their part if, for instance, too many students switched from the ten to the five meal option. If this occurred one consequence would be a Cut in the Food Service labor force. Missed meal factor In addition to this, the ten meal plan option takes into account a missed meal factor. Knowing that all students on this plan do not attend every meal that they pay for, less food is prepared and thus money is saved. With the five meal option this missed meal factor would not come into play as readily. Students would, in all probability, eat every meal paid for. Thus, having to prepare more food, FVS would have to charge more or else lose money. Believing this to be a serious drawback, the new plan was kept under lock and not implemented until this semester. Because many students during the second semester decide either to drop meal plan altogether or to alter the number of meals they eat per week (usually downward), Food Service decided to try out their new plan. “The plan should not have an adverse effect either on students or on the management,” said Borek, though it is too early to know the exact results. When processing of all board contracts is completed, actual enrollment in the plan will be more apparent. When the computer record of all board contracts is complete, there should be a total of 187 out of 1700 students on the five meal a week plan or 12 percent of all Students on board which is few enough to enable FVS to run this program without any cash difficulties. Guest meal ticket The majority of students on this plan are eating Food Service dinners and making due on their own for other meals or simply not eating them. When asked about the new plan, Andrea Cantor, a freshman from Goodyear said, “The food is too starchy. This way 1 eat only one meal a day.” Those students eating on this plan should evaluate whether it is profitable for them. Buying a guest meal ticket at each meal might turn out cheaper. The breakeven point is about 4-5 missed meals, if 10-12 are missed, students would be wise to drop the plan and pay for the meals as they are eaten.

National Fuel -Gas (NFG) made record profits, because obviously as more snow fell, more gas was needed to prevent icicles from forming on the wails. On January 4 of this year, the Public Service Commission granted National Fuel Gas a rate increase of $6,700,000, attaching to it no such provisions as increased customer service or a ban on temporary shut-offs during the cold months. Nor did the rate increase mention a rebate of any amount to natural gas customers who paid excessive bills last year. Rochester Gas and Electric granted such a rebate to its customers last year because of unusually high earnings. Now the Citizertt' Alliance is asking all Buffalo area natural gas consumers to “turn the heat on" National Fuel Gas by participating in a 100-day gas bill boycott. This is a perfect example of an act of civil disobedience against a local monopoly which, because it controls the input of natural gas to the area, can ask for a rate increase as it sees fit. All students living off campus should participate in the gas bill Slvfe themselves some money in the boycott, not event that the boycott works, but to demonstrate that "united action by concerned citizens" is an effective means to fight unjustified profit-making by a huge monopoly. NFG is able to charge what it pleases because no other company to whom local natural gas customers could turn for heat exists. 100 days is approximately the length of time between when a customer stops payment of his bill and the date on which NFG will terminate service. Thus, to comfort the fears of those considering stopping payment but not willing to risk shutoff, h is possible to participate in the boycott without taking that risk. Rather than not pay altogether, however, gas customers should send their bills with payment enclosed to the Citizens' Alliance, who will then use the amount leverage to bargain with the Public Service Commission and NFG. Although no success is guaranteed, this is the only means by which the Alliance can effectively bargain; with no money to back its demands, NFG would laugh it off as being just another attempt by honest citizens to win back unjust profits. Those seeking more information or having reservations about joining the boycott can call the Alliance at 847-8580. All bills should be sent to: The Citizens' Alliance, Room 1075 Ellicott Square Building, 295 Main Street, Buffalo 14203. In addition, a rally to begin the boycott is being held tomorrow at 11 a.m. in the auditorium of the Buffalo and Erie County Public Library. Those who are able to go downtown to Lafayette Square should do so; those who can't should at least watch the proceedings on TV.

Why can’t pool hours be extended especially on meet days to accommodate the general student body. Is the three dollars an hour spent for lifeguards that prohibitive?

Bopp Jto �Disco musical epitomizes the shallow seventies by Tom Dooney Spectrum Arts Staff Earlier this month. The Village Voice published a very fine and very amusing piece of creative journalism. Staff writers — Jack Newfield, Lewis Grossberger and Gil Eisner collaborated on a somewhat light-hearted evaluation of the past eight years the bulk of the nineteen-seventies. Together they weighed a staggering lot of social and cultural low points (Anita Bryant, Burt Lance, Charlie's Werner Erhard) against a wimpy bunch of — unimpressive high points (Nixon's resignation. Obi Wan Kenobi and Howard Cosell as modern philosophers) and came to the conclusion that for the general well being of humanity we should all abandon the decade. That's right, flee the sinking S.S. Seventies. Stop the clock, grab your socks and scram to the eighties. After all, what do the seventies most have to show for themselves besides disco and punk, the two major trends in popular mosic bred in this decade. Both have become lifestyles with distinct social ethics, dress and dances. Both are particularly frightening if you have any sort of social consciousness. Punk is excused, in this case, because its goals are to terrify society-at-large and, too, because there has not been a punk musical film to review. Saturday Night Fever is a disco musical, the first to be a major studio release. Because it is precedent setting, it has to be looked upon as an explanation, almost a documentary, of disco life. Indeed, the screenplay is taken from an authenticated study of disco clubs and their hibitues written by Nik Cohn and published in New York Magazine in June, 1976. The shallow seventies John Travolta plays Tony Manero, the best dancer, at his neighborhood dance palace and therefore cock of the walk of Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. Manero and his friends are dubbed the "Faces,” the guys to watch for the latest dance moves. All females are available to the Faces. Mindlessly loyal to each other and to their disco, these boys seek revenge by attacking a Puerto Rican street gang that allegedly roughed up a dancing buddy. They become leery the instant a stranger, much less a Black or Latino, comes to their ulacc. Disco-ites are pictured as guy* a. J gals without the slightest interest ir world at large. Tony Manero, when discussing celebrities with his heart throb, is truly ignorant of -who Cat Stevens or Eric Clapton is; he askes if Laurence Olivier could get him a discount on a Polaroid camera. If director John Badham wanted to film a drama about, the shallow seventies the era that bred the egocentric world of disco, and marked by slick orchestrations, the endless segue and disco queens partnered with their favorite polyester Fred Astaire, then Saturday Night Fever is a perceptive commentary of these times. If, however, Badham is' glorifying these souls who, numbed by their middle class lives, become scintillating personalities as they “bus stop" (Fascist go-go dancing, as a friend of mine calls it) on a dance floor that flashes like a pinball machine gone berserk, then we have a frightening new set of heroes. ' -> - Playing himself So, Saturday Night Fever is either telling us that we are becoming a nation of T r' D iD m Travolta and Gorney going through their paces. It’s disco... duck! dancing fools, or that we should keep up with the beat because the best things happen while you're dancing. A kind of devil and the deep blue sea proposition if ever there was one; if the seventies are disco duck. A similar predicament faces us if we try to gauge John Travolta's performance. Tony Manero is a Rocky who rocked out; the boy next door who could go places, gets the girl of his dreams and wins in the end. His part (the whole film, in fact) is more poorly written and developed than other youth-of-our-times type motion pictures have been in the past (see James Dean in Rebel Without A Cause or Humphrey Bogart in Dead End). Accepting the fact that Travolta didn't have much of a film script to work with, he does admirably. But the character he plays is too similar to his roles in Welcome Back, Kotter and Carrie. So, either John is very adept in exploring the type of young man who is sensitive and loving harsh by a society that doesn't care, or he is making it in show business by playing himself over and over again. Granted, Travolta can dance well. So well that Tony Manero can dear the dance floor with his virtuoso 'footwork and inspire the loving adoration of every female who comes to ... Double intent The good moments of the film are the understated and surprisingly understanding scenes involving Tony and his elder brother Frank, a priest who finds the Catholic church irrelevant. The film sinks to points of unadulterated schlockiness when Tony contemplates the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, in this film a combination symbol of modern urban wonders and a foreboding challenge to Manero and his friends who play acrobats on the span. Stephanie, portrayed by Karen Gomey, is Tony Manero's lady love. The screen goes hazy every blessed time Travolta and Gorney are in bliss. A small fortune must have been spent on gauze to make this bit of sentimental corn possible. rt n y« the club to watch this man dance. His litheness and agility while Latin Hustling his way to glory are off-set by his new looks. His skin is as marred as a lunar surface, his eyes seem to be always on the verge of tearing, and his shorn locks display a widow's peak that would do any widow proud. These same “everyman" of the seventies looks that gained him a flock of swooning fans become annoying when Travolta has been on the screen for two hours. I m i ■ m 1 m * 3E r 4 - * I <1 yvJ c v »• 1 ft Badham has not given the film enough conviction: is Tony a dope or a soft hearted guy? Is disco a fun way to spend your days or a symptom of a society intent on being frivolous? Director Badham, in an attempt to please all factions, never makes up his mind. Further proof of the double intent of this film is seen in two different advertising slogans. "Where do you go vrtien the record is over?" ask some of the posters rhetorically. What do you do when the only thing you care about ends? Others urge audiences to "catch the fever," the excitement of using your feet and Gucci-like loafers in a brand new way. The discreet decade The hardest portion of dealing with the Saturday Night Fever phenomenon is coping with the multi media inundation. Huge blow-ups of Travolta and Gorney have populated theaters since November. Every quarter hour the radio plays "Staying Alive" or "How Deep Is Your Love" or one of the other non-disco Bee Gee film themes. (Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb also have a not-too-subtly sexist title for the love song, "More Than a Woman." What else is she, a giraffe a building?) There is a novel selling rapidly on bookstore racks based on the screenplay (which in turn is based on the Nik Cohn article; media to feed the media). A formidable display of PR; Hollywood super-sell in all its glory. All designed to stun the senses, if not the sensibilities, of the prospective audience. Maybe because the film isn't enough on its own? Then again, the seventies will never be known as a discreet decade. ... �UUQb^= i •COFFEEHOUSE COMMITTEE LEW—with LONDON TRIO speclol guests MICHAEL SPIRO BENEFIT CONCERT Students $1.00, faculty 6 staff $1.25, others $1.50 beer & MICHAEL COONEYDr. Jazz and the Ukelele Ladies Lew London Trio Sunday, January 29, 2=30 Fillmore Room — Friday G Saturday, January 27 G 28 8:30 pm Cafeteria 118, Squire Hall other refreshments will be served tickets on sole day of show adults $2.00, children $1.00.

I'm sorry if I can't amuse you prejudiced ones out there but... ah ... I think you've had you're fun. So sit down, because YOU'RE A LOUD MOUTH BABY, YOU BETTA SHUT ITUPIM before the time he plugged a Fender Telecaster through a stack of Marshall Amplifiers loaded at full volume. The six numbers on Bat Out of Hell, performed in a more streched out manner live, are eulogys to the traumatic years between 16 and the graduation of college (7), each smartly crammed with metaphorically clustered plot structures, a la Bruce Springsteen. Two well remembered numbers "All Revved Up With No Place To Go" and "Paradise by the Dashboard Lights" contain quite memoriable sing-song exchanges between — — Any of you out there, who think this was Meat Loaf's sad way of releasing all his pent up matter, paranoia and other general hostilities at the cruel world outside of rock and roll, better give this 300 pound Caucasian cherub another listen to. You've got the story all wrong. After all, the pianist Jim Steinman wrote the lyrics to every track on the group's more than noticeable album on Epic, entitled Bat Out Of Hell. If Meat Loaf's visual appearance coins a reasonable source for the alienated lyrics, so skillfully penned Fine! It could only lend credibility and continuity to the presentation, since Steinman neither sings nor (at least I hope not for his health's sake) does he tell Herr meaty, beaty, big and bouncy how to do otherwise. — What the hecklers missed was a thoroughly slick potpourri of theatrics, spagetti western rhythm and blues, complimented by that archetypical Phil Spector wall of sound; gobs of teenage laments, heart throbs, tear jerkers and violent admissions and rejection and a genuine rocky horror show. All of this sounds quite ordinary, though when you consider Meat Loaf's and Jim Stainman's past credentials. Theirs is almost a marraige made in heaven, although I think it probably took place somewhere between Dallas, Texas and Long Island. Let's start with Jim Steinman who for all intensive purposes is the guiding force behind the LP. Steinman is a weird sort. He's written tons of songs in his time, but claims he can't remember anything that's happened Multi (•} Meat Loaf and extra solo vocalist Ellen Foley, and could be the themes for any rock musical. Meat Loaf, a depraved but not deprived soul was born in Dallas into a family of Southern gospel singers. A huge jump in time, we find Meat featured as the lead vocalist for hard-rock guitarist Ted Nugent on his platinum record Free For AH. Meat Loaf has recently portrayed the singing crazy Eddie, a slick 50's defect half his friend has been removed in The Rocky Horror Picture Show. You may remember the scene in which Meat sings a particulrly inane rock song, before being minced into little tiny bite size pieces Chunkys no doubt. The rest of the story goes like this: The two of them were both out of work, et al so they decided to record — — - — an album. Jim would play and provide the sing* and Meat Loaf would be the dynamic new rock (inger/personality- Next in line was Todd Rundgren, who over the house one day heard the tape of songs (performed solely on piano, with only voice accompianment) and decided THIS was his next project. The rest of his Utopia group was subsequently added; Edgar Winter was brought in from under the sun, and the presto, change after 44 weeks of studio time average consumer had received new vinyl to eat. Those not at the Century, may by now be a iking, just wiiat does Meat Loaf sound like? Vocals aside you might call it the "E" Street Band on Broadway. Though without a horn section, the musical space is still completely filled with piano, synthesizer work, and two guitars, as well as the traditional rhythm section consisting of bass and drums. The female vocalist featured in the Buffalo show was a local named Paula Devita: a crowd teaser, with a big throaty voice glistening with lavicious tonalities. Meat Loaf owes much to his parents' gospel upbrining, and although he hates to hear it, he sounds remarkably like Harry Chapin having sex with Billy Joel. The highlight of the concert, of course, occurred in the middle sequence of "Paradise by the Dashboard Lights". Meat Loaf and his delicious sidekick approach the mantle in a typical come-on routine. A chorus or two later. Meat begins to work his mojo as a tape Of Phil (Scooter) Rizzuto (All-star Yankee shortstop and The voice of the Yankees) broadcasts; OK, here we go, we gotta a real pressure cooker going here, two down, nobody on, no score, bottom of the ninth, there's the wind up and there it is, a line shot up the middle, look at him go.

More than a baseball game, Rizzuto was calling the play by play for the theatrics on stage, which when rounding third came dose to becoming soft porn.

How will our present day Olympians be viewed as they engage in the epic struggle to establish the ground game in the near Artie terrain of Green Bay, Wisconsin? Will the grunts and groans of grid-iron Sunday be accurately conveyed? Somehow I can't help but feel it would be tragic if Howard Cosell were to slip permanently into the oblivion in which he usually resides. Yet there are few films, except, perhaps, Paper Lion, which place the pigskin in the proper perspective. The old guard of football films gave us such standards as The Knute Rockne Story, and such immortal lines as "let's win one for our hero-athletes in perpetual rj 0^ adolescence, the boys who never grow up. Their existence was tied, in umbilical fashion, to playing the big game and submitting to the parental authority of the coach. Little wonder that the only sustaining of these image characters includes a ball of some kind, securely tucked under their arms. In literature the turning point in the depiction of the athlete as saint and savior occurred when Jim Bouton's Ball Four, a diary of a baseball season, was released in 1969. Dave Meggysey and Johnny FROGS From Syracuse So*** TALAS Art 8«** » QFM Party with JIM SANTELLA Sample followed with truthful "like it is" accounts on the nature of football, drugs and sex. However there exists a void of films which treat the subject of sports with either honesty or humor. The best picture I can think of in John Hancock's Bang the Drum Slowly, which employs both. Enter Semi-Tough, a film that embraces this “new" outlook of depicting athletes as being more than one dimensional creatures. Director Michael Ritchie, whose best work is in a satirical vein (The Candidate, Smile, The Bad News Bears) once again sets out to inject some laughter and insight into one of our nation's more ceremonious institutions. He gives us a semi-tess-than-holy look at the of leading source entertainment for many Americans. But despite its good intentions, Semi-Tough doesn't really reach the end zone. The film details the off-field exploits of a happy trio Billy Clyde Puckett (Burt Reynolds), Shake Tiller (Kris Kristofferson), two good ole boys; and Barbra Jean Bookman (Jill Clayburgh), the daughter of the team owner. When they aren't in hotel rooms, bars, parties, buses, or the apartment they all share, Burt and Kris find some time to play football. Lovers of the Sunday Service may find the lad as well as poor quality of action footage disturbing.

Jill Clayburgh as B.J. handles most of her scenes well, though she "isn't a 10." Bert Convey is plastic enough as the guru in charge of B.E.A.T., while Robert Preston comes on like the Music Man in rented Texan garb.

Anyone familiar with Ra's swirling, sparkling storm magicks on piano know the influence that McCoy Tyner has obviously picked up from him. Cecil Taylor's luyah choir of the keys parallel Ra's growth, yet each display their own sweet way (listen, for instance, to Cecil's Looking Ahead LP on Contemporary, then listen in a library, perhaps to Walt Dickerson's Impressions Of A Patch of Blue with Ra on piano and harpsichord on MGM). One has but to hear, say. The Magic City (Saturn, ABC) and Heliocentric Worlds (ESP) then hear Chick Corea's Circle period (on Blue Note, ECM, CBS-Sony, Oxford), Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi period, and others (esp. John Coltrane and the AACM) to see the far flung influences Sun Ra has spread in many areas: piano, orchestration, electronic virtuousity, musically visual dramatics, etc. People already acquanted with Sun Ra should know the area of his roots that speak so eloquently here. For the uninitiated, here is something for you to listen to. Ra's music has always streched beautifully from the deepest traditions to the farthest reaches, and it staggers to see several "jazz" experts react to the Solo Piano LP with shocked brows of "Surprise! This is listenable!" in contrast to those "outside" albums that have "produced some of the strangest sounds in years", as one local critic surmised. This kind of thinking is vague and misleading, and at the very least, a gross oversimplification. Anyone taking time to hear the poetry and oceanic chungwa pulse of 1973's Astro Black (Saturn, ABC) and the sheer indigo effervescence of 1958's Jazz In Silhouette (Saturn, ABC) will see fine examples of a man constantly expanding his foundation, rather than perpetuate demolition (I should take this time to correct another writer of the Buffalo Jazz Report who stated in a review of Ra's Cosmos LP Inner City that the last previous album released on a commercial label was Astro Black. Not so. If one does not consider irresistable Space Is The Place, which was recorded for Blue Thumb later in the same year as Astro Black, one must reckon with the floating Pathways To Unknown Worlds, recorded and released at least a year later for Saturn and ABC.

The UUAB Film Committee first holds a conference at which each participant submits a list of five to five-hundred titles. These suggestions are then discussed until a vote is taken to determine which movies get a spot in the following semester's schedule. Geralyn Huxley, Film Committee chairperson, says the committee strives for "a balance between popular and more obscure" films. "Many of the people in the group," she says, are graduate students affiliated with the Center For Media Studies, although meetings are open to the entire University Community and undergraduates are encouraged to join the Film Committee."

Other films to be shown include: Night Of The Living Dead, The Rocky Horror Show, It's Alive. A Boy And His Dog, and another try at Putney Swope. The free films to be shown on Monday and Wednesday evenings cover two different themes. Mondays will be devoted to screening films on "Women and the Cinema," an important tribute to the female directors, scriptwriters amd performers who have received recognition, and some wrfio haven't. An unusual set of films will be shown on Wednesday, a selection of "film noir." Film noir has no stable definition, but it's bound to Geralyn Huxley, Chairperson of the UUAB Film Committee.

The admission charged for the feature films shown on weekends is meant to offset the costs of the other programs. One of the steepest expenses is the charge for shipping 35mm reels of film. For example, last week's King Kong in cans, which was runs into some very high fees. It might also be noted that UB is one of only four schools in New York State which have facilities to screen 35mm films.

Yes they're not Starcastle stands strong, overcomes comparisons by Tim Switala Spectrum Music Staff a colorful blast of Midwestern In phantasmagoria came two of the Seventies' leading proponents of American eclecticism and ethereality. The year of importance was nineteen seventy-six. Kansas and Starcastle entered the music industry's spotlight in a furor of creativity and controversy. For Kansas, it was a year of critical acclaim surrounding their third album, Laftoverture. For Starcastle, it was also a year of acclaim, as well as critical denouncement. The public and the critics seemed split over the groups debut album, Starcastle. A frustrating cavalcade erf comparisons to the British progressives Yes was soom strung about Starcastle's collective necks by more than one critic. It is now two years hence, a three album evolution has consumed the time, along with successful tours with the likes of Kansas and Utopia, and now, finally, Starcastle can casually step beyond all those "silly and absurd" comparisons to Yes. "It's getting away from that," explains drummer Stephen Tassler in regards to Yes parallels. "People have compared the first two but with this album it's going off in a different direction. It's not so prevalent any more." Needless to say, the said comparisons have been the obvious sore spot in Starcastle's legacy, along with being the center of group frustration and irritation. Do they consider any of it fair? |;P. Salel 9. to grow. Millions of fans enjoyed Grand Funk Railroad despite the negative criticisms they were handed. The real question is whether the group Yes will continue to be mentioned in future Starcastie reviews. With the release of their third album, Citadel, it shouldn't. Citadel (Epic), has taken on a different direction from the more abstract Fountains of Light. Singer Terry Luttrell, often related to Jon Anderson in the past, has developed into a separate, recognizable entity. The group itself also chooses to incorporate a great deal of harmony, even more so than recent Yes. Citadel's Castle Citadel arrives as a more melodic and pop-oriented endeavor; it can be easily distinguished from the past Starcastle albums. Starcastle's structuring is more repetitive and predictible, especially Citadel (containing eight lyric-oriented songs all under seven minutes, quite removed from lenghty Yes introspection); just because a group uses abstract words, synthesizers and melodic bass lines doesn't necessarily call for a complete and total equivalence. At least Citadel doesn't. However, there may be one valid comparison to Yes; Starcastle’s album ddsign. Whereas Yes consistently employed the work of Roger Dean, Starcastle's cover art has been the wares of such famed artists as Peter Lloyd for Fountains of Light (Lloyd has also done work on Starship's Dragonfly and Kansas' Point of No Return) and Hildebrandt Everybody's everyone (Tolkien calendars. Star Wars posters) for Citadel. "I'm tired of it," emotes Gary Strater, Starcastle -Strater explains: "Actually, we have a nice bassist. "Everybody brings it up.

Saturday, January 28, 8:30 pm Joni Mitchell, Don Juan's Reckless Daughter (Asylum) The message of Joni Mitchell becomes more clear than ever on this album. Joni Mitchell is the queen of the avant garde. Don Juan's Reckless Daughter, while not as problematic as Hissing of Summer Lawns, nor having nothing as immediately identifiable as Hejira's "Song for Sharon," illuminates one thought. Joni Mitchell is way out in her own world, and nobody in the American musical mainstream even comes close. She is her own woman, her own poet, and her own musician. Not only are all of the above qualities enough to set apart any talent, but she is also an acute observer of trends, and as such, was a major sponsor of many jazz careers (first Tom Scott, as early as For The Roses, and later with Weather Report, the Crusaders, and bassist Jaco Pastorious). As the queen of the Woodstock generation, Mitchell was the flaxen haired waif, giving up her personal life for her music, and letting an entire generation of peasant shirts in on the secret of a lover's cry. Now, there are those who can't pick up Reckless Daughter and see that Mitchell has advanced more than any other of the late sixties' singer-songwriter generation, giving a place in that venue for real jazz and rock and roll, not just horn charts and kalimba in the percussion section. (Those of you who read this column on a somewhar regular basis will discover that we find it hard for many of that generation's singer- songwriters to muster the stamina to keep their careers flowing in a captivating manner.) With the integration of Pastorius and now Airto Moreira, Mitchell maintains her giant poetic stature and grows as a musician* On this album she is a positively arresting as ever. Roger McGuinn fans will recognize "Dreamland," an obscure follup to "California" from the Blue collection. Also featured is the studio version of "Jericho," introduced on the Mile of Aisles tour. "Jericho," indeed, all of side one, has that jerky, uncertain syncopted Mitchell free-tuned acoustic guitar that sets Mitchell apart from other acoustic guitarists. She is learning the jazz rhythm, and not relying on the accepted use of six-string acoustic. If you remember, she was featured on Hejira playing electric blues on "Blue Motel Room". The horizon just keeps getting wider for Mitchell. "And just as ancient Eve succumbed /To reckles curiousity/ I take my sharpened fingernail/ Ans slash the globe to see (Paprika Plains")". After sharpening here outlook on the outside world Hissing and Hejira], Mitchell has returned for the most lyrical part on this album to her doomed romanticism and her inability to allow a cease fire to the roaring inhibitions within her. 'Talk To Me", "Don Juan's Reckless Daughter," 'The Silky Veils of Ardor" are all exposes of that uniquely emotive Mitchell treatment. And still within this context Mitchell remains true to her search for varied and consummate accompaniement. The joining of the two is what keeps Joni Mitchell the top female artist (and there is really no other way to describe her) recording today. This album reaffirms it. For those Mitchell fans that cannot accept her inevitable transition, I pity their loss. She's the same Joni Mitchell, only better. More mature. The growing process lasts infinitely.

Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Works Volume II (Atlantic) Emerson, Lake and Palmer's Works, Volume II would have been more appropriately entitled "Living Sin." It is an unimaginative and unimpressive addition to previous efforts. Works Volume / was a disjointed fractioning of individual talents. Stagnation seems to have effected the trio's productive ability and this album displays retrogression in their music. From their inception, ELP aroused a wide audience by infusing an array of styles into their music. Works Volume II is no exception. However, Keith Emerson has ignored much of his classical influences. With short cropped hair and leather jacket, he teems ready to ride a new wave, should it present itself. Perhaps I'm being harsh with Emerson, but the album's format warrants criticjsm. Acoustic piano antl/or extended solos are non-existent Works Volume II it entirely composed of two to four minute songs, not allowing for any development of themes.

A heavy pop orientation it noticable in the length of the songs, orchestration, and incorporation of singles never before released on LP. notably "Brain Salad Surgery" and "I Believe in Father Christmas." Throughout the album, overdone orchestral riffs have weakened and attenuated ELP's sound. I am wary of any group using large ensembles to fill the void. In the case of Works, the London Philharmonic's timely ejaculations provide what amounts to an air of muzak to certain tunes. The album opens with "Tiger in the Spotlight," a song resembling an archaic precursor rather than a culmination of ELP's music. Emerson's synthesized noise and Palmer's barbaric drumming accompany Greg Lake's prattle.

Boz's latest goody, is not only a mixed bag, but it won't shuffle as many feet as the last one. Boz has about half of crew of Silk Degrees holding onto their guns on this new release. Joe VWssert seems to be anxious to produce Down Two, The Left as Silk Degrees Per* II. It's slick stuff with Boz belting out choruses with the female singer highlighting the melody. The are pleasantly compact guitar solos and ballad which concludes the album. All packed up in a smooth, sci-fi-ish cover shot by Guy Bourdin (which must have some profound meaning) its appeal is inevitable. The spoiler is keyboardist-arranger Michael Omartian, who wrote most of the songs on side two. He is also responsible for making a mess out of Leo Sayer's "Thunder In My Heart". Using these two albums as evidence, it is dear to me that Omartin * has become standard rather than exception. "Bullfrog," even with its unique multi-percussives and saxaphone solo is for the most part trivial and ultimately nosedives into something Chick Corea might compose for a new coffee commercial (if the money was right). Carl Palmer's drumming with some exceptions is cliche. It is annoying to see him piss away his supposed classical training on such simplistic bullshit. Even his emulation of Elvin Jones' Latin swing proves unsuccessful. "Brain Salad Surgery" does sould like older Emerson, Lake and Palmer, mainly because it is. The song never appeared on the album of the same name, but was later released as a single. The current single, "Watching Over You" is the sedate Greg Lake offering what I regret to day is one Of the stronger points of Works Volume II. Lake's acoustic tongs, usually oommericaiiy successful singles, are most consistent with the past. Yet these songs that used to provide filler are more numerous and dominant in the new album. Scott Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag" exhibits the technical ability of Emerson, but it is again dominated by saccharine orchestration. Marvin "I'm not real" Hamlisch may have been impressed, but I doubt if Joplin would have been. Emerson, Lake and Palmer have been a dynamic force in rock for much of the past decade. Besides experimenting with this musical form, they have with relative success interpreted the works of Copland, Ginastera and Mussorgsky. Works Volume II contradicts older material. Emerson, Lake and Palmer do not seem to be into it. The music lacks the vitality and energy with respect to the past. Let’s hope ELP's February 1 concert offers more of their enlightened past and less of this, by far their worst album to date. Or else maybe we can help them find out, as Greg Lake belts out on the final cut. "The Way to Go Home." —Tony Amplo does not have the capability of accomodating suitable music for artists' lyrics. His collaborations have a significant uneasiness in melodic composition as compared with Boz's solo efforts, and they simply do not out the cake. "Hollywood" is a gaudy flash-in-the-pan which has some excitement in its theme, but "Gimme the Goods" and "1933," especially the latter, don't work from bland conceptions. The real jolts cqme on the first side and run consistently throughout it. "Still Falling For You" is unmistakeably a relative of "Lowdown." standing up in its own right. The seductive "A Clue" is my choice for the follow-up single to "Hard Times," which deserved wider recognition than it received. I am mildly satisified with this sequel to Silk Degrees. Boz works with a fine team of musicians including Jeff Porcaro, Ray Parker and Jay Graydon, that provides a solid wall of rhythm to keep the dance floors occupied. He is undoubtedly a man of yoat energy and abilities and I expect further high-level swinging platters to be coming my way I hope he gets back to David Paich's partnership in writing songs, for Paich is vastly talented in this area Omartian is not. -Drew ton , m. The Spectrumi. Friday, 27 January 1978 �RECORDS Alex Haley Tells the Story of hi* Search for Roots, (Warner Brothers) A writer in the Black creatively speaking of Life's colors and how he has experienced them all, from the improve! jshment of being ignored by complacent media to the enrichment earned thru years (and years) of struggle. If melodramatic to some ears, then ask; Who staged the scenario? The art of the poet is not only in dramatic interpretation but also in development of natural virtuousity. The marriage of the two is the birth of the one, a beginning. For Alex Haley, the story of his search is a long, uhyielding road where only the strong may stride. From his series of campus lectures (which this campus will experience, hopefully), Alex begins by unveiling his youth in Henning, one rather simple and fluid by oomparision to the Tennessee liberated" North, where he, as a writer, found great problems as many in this world of formulized greatness. In fact, his beginning as a writer culminated for him the stature of a kind of Cyrano de Bergerac. Simply writing to friends to relieve the long nights of Navy duty, his talents grew as he wrote love letters by request for sailors to their girls. It is interesting to note his tenacity at attaining from each sailor a concise description of their girl (their tastes, habits, looks, etc.). Also apparent is his application of literary simile (i.e„ the transition from physical to physio-idelogical; Blonde hair to moonlight reflecting on the shimmering waves). All this, in the end result, made for Alex his first popularity, as well as a peaceful (If still energetic) service to one's 1 ... countrymen "freer! (and women). What came next was eight years of rejection slips as Alex began writing stories, trying to sell them to magazines. Leaving the Navy after 20 years of service, he went to New York's Greenwich Village where he fought a hard struggle to -make it as a freelance writer. Finally, he broke ground with the Reader's Digest, where he did biographical sketches, then moved to Playboy, where he began the now-celebrated Interview series, the first being an interview with Miles Davis (who whispers boldly in ringing Music and commonly rare sense). The third (world) interview was his first meeting with the panther-wise Malcolm X, and this began a relationship that went from Malcolm's hawk-eyed wariness of anyone from the general power structure/ to his acceptance of Alex as a confidant near the end. The product of this. The Autobiography of Malcolm X, remains today, for those too young, unborn, or uncaring when he was alive, a testimony to the legacy that Malcolm shared and cared to care about; Our own, a future to build for the better. It was the first great exercise of Alex's powers as a scribe, the ability to tell and enhance another's tale. Yet is the tale that separate? Think of the irony: Alex Haley, descendant of an African kipnapped from the ways of his Islamic village, gained first-superlative light from his transcribing the story of Malcolm X, a fellow descendant of kidnapped Africans, who re-embraced and contemporally vitalized the way of Islam. Two forces: One kinetic, one potential . .. storm front gathering. Was the fate which guided Alex (after Malcolm's death) to Washington, and later to the Library of Congress, an accident? I think not Every artist, sooner or later, acknowledges Life's spontaniety as well as the need for self-control. The story of Roots is ultimately One Search. Do you have the courage to find it within yourself? It is the answer to this question that shall determine the full worth of this writer and, perhaps, this world. Only you may say. Be careful that you hear. -Michael F. Hopkins Amanda Lear, I Am A Photograph (Chrysalis) After a while, it's possible to conceive and fantasize upon certain female disco artists, solely on the impulse that they as personal hies are sleazy enough to fulfill your every innermost and sinful desires. Amanda Lear has certainly been turning heads for, a long time now; recently as the exclusive model for Salvador Dali and as the close friend to such jetsetters as David Bowie, George Harrison, John Lennon, The Rolling Stones, Brigette Bardot, Yves St. Laurent, and Warren Beatty. It was pure Hollywood and it didn't matter what she said or did so long as she was just there, so long as the audience could undress her in their thoughts. Her sculptured presence deemed droidic; stilt possible to find her emotional and appealing tush sensuality was the crucial straw that lit her match. As hostess on the Midnight Special featuring Dandy Don K. and David Bowie, she virtually seduced the audience with that especially-curved foreign ihtrigue of hers. It was this kind of bang-bend interaction' that has done so much for Ms. Lear's posture. It may not have been overnight success, but Amanda Lear certainly discovered early what proper and stylic boudoire best complemented her mystical propitions. In terms of love; it's bed with everything kinky on the first night a cigarette, sleep a shower, a cup of coffee, and then a cab. With virtually no obligations save the guilt feelings of not sharing intimacy when engulfed in the ritual of love making it's a good deal all away around the board. Amanda is the epitome of the female overly qualified for the job and that should be of some interest to those in search of quick, simulated stimulation. Here's the surprise: those that have graced Amanda’s path are actually Curious about her new album, entitled / Am A Photograph on Chrysalis. Those that have heard the disc are more than convinced of its worth. The merit of the LP transcends the fact that it is still disco a sterile, inhuman pop form. Yet Amanda Lear understands the predicament she has placed her audience in; none who can actually claim they love the music, they stilt absorb the metronomic background skittle, which surfaces as the perfect scenario for the slave march this artist has in mind. Demonstrating tremendous versatility, Amanda had adapted very well to this vinyl medium; her songs auditioned loud and on a decent sound system come across almost as if she were whispering deep and treacherous thoughts into your ear, with that sultry and sexy voice of hers. She's not looking for equal rights, she's looking to hook. To be in a photograph and in your subconscious for later reconstruction in perfect pumping rhythm. Clearly, this is the story of her life: * 1 - - ... - - am a photograph am in color and in public Over exposed and well blown up am printed and neatly cut You can look at me for hours won't mind. I'll let you dream From the page of a magazine / / / / Jan Hammer Group, Melodies (Nemporer) The sometimes thin barrier between certain types of jazz and pop is one that often cannot be perforated. In other words, it's difficult for a reputable jazz artist to expand the vocal factor in his group without losing a large part of his jazz foi jwing. One exception that comes to mind is George Benson, and even his transition to popular music lost him a chunk of his former devotees. A major reason for this is the decay in instrumental innovation. The musician gives up a certain amount of jazz to write and/or sing. Notice the amount of those characteristic Benson guitar riffs in his current hit album as compared to the previous one. The Jan Hammer Group has run into a snag of a similiar sort. The difference here, as encountered on his newest disc, Melodies being that the vocals and pop sound won't make it on their own. Hammer started running into problems on his last record. Live with Jeff Beck. There were some yeat moments, but they were always countered by the struggling vocals. Beck's straining was always bad enough, but with Tony Smith's (lead vocalist for Hammer's group) somewhat less than sparkling vr ice, the combination was unbearable. i am a glossyphotograph And of course I am a little bit retouched My color hasbeen processed That camera has always erased Feel lurking behind the fence / am alive, / am gone But I should never grow old My Ups are parted But i will not kiss My eyes are open But / am not listening I rest around But my heart is missing I am a photograph I am a photograph I am a photograph I'm better than the real thing / Am A Photograph marks a new segment for this career, and from the response to her music on the European continent, she is proving that her talents as a singer are as exciting as were the predicts of her modeling days. English, German, Italian, Austrian and Swedish charts have found four of this singer's repitoire on their top ten. “Blood and Honey,'’’ a savage dissection that differentiates between love and lust, but choose the latter as a prime hedonistic device has remained in the top ten for eighteen weeks and has 300,000 copies. If you care about units sold that's pretty damn good. HI vouch for the stats, by saying this is a great LP. Beep, beep, orgasm I -Dimitri Papadopoulos The Jan Hammer Group's last real album was Oh,Yeah? Here they only took on songs, giving the band members (each an aspiring musician in his own ritfu) more room to explore their instrumental talents. The vocals were kept to a minimum, and jazz was played to the max. On the current disc, the group takes on eleven shorter numbers. Smith's vocals (he also supplies the drums) predominate, leaving little room for the high energy jazz-rock I know this quartet is capable of. • Hammer is a groat keyboardist, but sometimes he overpowers. On "Honey 5379" (what a tide), the music is good, if not for the Kraftwerkian keyboard. Steve Kindler, a brilliant young violinist, has had to subdue his talent for this disc. His flair, however, still peeks through the syrupy cover. Tony Smith is a good drummer, and he should stay that way. We could all do without the vocalizing. I really think Hammer outfit to switch his metamorphosis into reverse. He's skating on thin k» with this current transitional effort, and the group's talents were put to much better use the way that were. Jan Hammer, settle for the jazz market. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Oh, Yeah! -DougAlfmn Friday, 27 January 1978 The Spectrum Page seventeen . . i.1 �RECORDS Chrysalis LP, comes as a bit of a surprise. Describe it In a word, and the word is not folk, or blues, but soul. Since Ms. Block wrote all words and music, arranged all tracks, and co-produced the album with Roger Watson, it's obvious that the style is hers and not what someone else with thinks she should do. She's good at it. too reservations. On the album Rory plays ragtime piano, acoustic guitar, and Fender Rhodes. She's helped out by Bill Payne, Sam Clayton, and Ritchie Hayward of Little Feat, who can get funky themselves at times. "Help Me Baby," the opener, is a catchy tune whose chorus you could disco-dance to (Did I say a dirty word?) Its main flaw is the partially spoken vocal, a la Diana Ross, which comes off as a trifle corny. "Intoxication" is a soulful ballad, with a beautiful flute solo by "Buddy" Colette. On "Sellout" you can hear traces of Bonnie Raitt and Maria Muldaur in Rory's vocals. "I Got A Man" is another soulful ballad, this time with a tasty sax solo from Jim Horn. Do I sense a pattern here? Rory must have been playing Natalie Cole's "Can We Get Together hence, "Don't Walk Again" in her sleep one night Out’s" striking resemblance. The words are even similar. It's a good song, but Natalie's wins out in comparison. "Feelings Cannot Lie" is sort of an up-tempo ballad with a sax solo, thrown in to confuse. It's more on the danceable side than slow, however, which is to its credit the ballads don't have quite enough body to make them worthwhile. Rory needs some heavier subject matter to sing about, something besides her man. Undoubtedly he's great, but... The Rev. James Cleveland Chior in the background of "boredom is Sadness" sounds very sweet, but Rory talks her vocals here too, and with lines like "boredom is sadness, sadness is rain", the songcan't be saved. "Hard Workin' Woman" is a nifty little tune that ends a mid-tempo boppy the album. It's difficult to define beat, with a hint of reggae, accented by Sam Clayton's congas. Unfortunately Ms. Block's vocals are hard to decipher here for once she's not singing about love, and you can't tell what she has to say. Altogether, Intoxication is a likeable, well-done though somewhat unoriginal album. Rory does the best she possibly can with the songs she writes. She's talented, and she's soulful, but she's lacking direction and fire. Maybe if her man leaves, it will bring out the guts in Rory Block it might be good for her music if she wasn't so tntoxicated. -Pat Carrington - wmmm wnBuiWi Live \LMfiii nccoros/ if >un ra played star trek (could trekkies face the music?)

A burning "past it on" ends the new prelude while a circle curving Forever waxes, asjf to openly wink: » - ' Can a thinker dare to think? -Part 2 of "The Spoken Word " William Shatner, the versatile actor who brought his Shakespearean for dramatic peerless tenacity understatement, soliloquy, and fluid, evocatic delivery to the C.S. Forester-type character of Star Trek'% Captain Jamas Kirk, shows us the man, himself, daring us within his own masque. With this album one must confront the visionary lyricism of the troubadour, abound with the analytic view of the critic and the creative "abandon" of King Lear's fool... the sweep of the entertainment carries boldly the visions of ageless insight, leaving you to wonder and, as Langston Hughes surmised, anticipate a time of wander (tho' not aimlessly or without laughter). Shatner takes us into an odyssey of human origin, beginning with the minds of human Swings first discovering free thought. Feel, if you will, your eyes gazing suddenly down, down upon your body far below on the sloping plains, eyes gazing upward. Now the earthly winds' last caress kisses as a hand in the stars beckons closeness. What is in that hand? Will it hold, for us, a crushing fist or an up dench? And does it reach only outwards? Shall we? This fluid, exploratory approach prevails throughout the entire set yet in fine variation, esp. his narration of "6 Ways to the Moon" from Cyrano de Bergerac which yields the subtle smile of Shatner's satiric humour, easily one of his finest qualities. There are many things to dte specifically, but I strongly recommend his deliveries on the origins of science fiction and his beautiful approach in reading the H.G. Weils Martian description from War of the Worlds. How will vw react to the unknown, and what if we're behind the mask? Yet can we read ourselves into the entire Universe, or is a more encompassing way to be written by Universal Law? What is Order? Before you are confused into Chaos, the album moves as a single flow, gaining jts strength from each tributary that Shatner has experienced throughout his life. No matter how many fine droplets I hold out to you, the Music of Tha Spoken Word (as it is Music, the phonetics of the visceral drum) must be heard and reckoned with by each of you, by each of us. (Oh, yes there is good discussion on Star Trek, also. How about that?) It becomes even clearer that a new reading of edicts are in order, to prevent the Chaos of fixed control. Shatner presents but one of the vital pages, the text to be printed thru our endeavouring lives, in the shadow and the light. ;V; Hijfi flight. —Michael F. Hopkins ... - Rory Block, Intoxication (Chrysalis) Rory Block has led a musical life right from the beginning. Not only did daddy play country and monny study but Rory herself, at age ten, took to hanging out at her father's Greenwich Village sandal shop and making music with the likes of Bob Dylan, John Sebastion and Maria Mutdaur, to name a few. Rory started dueling with Pa at clubs and parties by the time she was thirteen. Once grown, she made am album, "How to Play Blues Guitar", a record on RCA and one for Blue Goose, which received some critical acclaim. With this in mind. Intoxication, Rory's debut last in fine as usual? ''•-' ■ :• r-* r ■ V y ; v>: ; y o* ■ i ■' ■■• m A A £5 — — — — — BE SURE YOU DON'T MISS AN ISSUE.

S /C'Ci'-'’. * on your favorite magazine! �FEEDBACK Pay for abortions To the Editor: As I have previously stated my- views on abortion in your editorial column before, I need not do so again. However, 1 cannot help but to reply to some of the inane comments in your January 23 editorial (“Abortion: a Woman’s Choice”). You obviously have misguided- ideas about the Right to Life groups. Although an anti-abortionist, I have never been associated with them, although 1 have seen their Slide shows. Seeing the slides of even the youngest fetuses convinced me that the fetuses are in fact human. I hardly think that the shows try “sensationalism," they merely try to show it like it is (something that pro-abortionists dare not do, for obvious reasons). Secondly, the group’s morals are not backward, unless of course you’re referring to the fact that they’ve been around for centuries (meaning that there must be something to them, since they’ve withstood the passage of time). to provoke And last of ail,.the uneducated are more subject emotional rhetoric from PRO-abortionist groups than from Right to Life. (Let me tell you, Right to Life moved my intellect more than my senses.) It’s the uneducated, the ignorant, and the self-centered to who don’t or won’t see that morality doe* not carry double standards. Speaking of education, it’s time that you “college educated” people realize that, if it’s never resolved, the uncertainty as to when life begins will be one of countless such uncertainties. We must sometimes decide such issues on what information we do have, instead of using valuable time and resources which could be better used elsewhere. Perhaps the answer to the Medicaid debate is to cut off funds for ALL pregnancies (whether terminated or carried through). This will make people who can’t afford pregnancies think twice before risking them. After all, nobody is harmed physically when pregnancies are discouraged, only when they are terminated. Besides, why should I have to pay for poor people’s loose sexual actions. Medicaid is not a “great giveaway’’ when concerned with those, such as the elderly, who can’t help themselves. It is only a big giveaway when it concerns people like the habitual abortionees who obviously WON’T help themselves. May 1 conclude by saying that I can tolerate your opinion on the issues, but I cringe over your irresponsible method of presenting such opinions. Henry Vote for Senefelder III life To the Editor The views exposed by the “WNY Coalition for Freedom of Choice" mirrored the moral degeneracy of the authors. They applaud the extermination of babies presently being "achieved” at a clip of one million deaths per year in the United States. They warn that poor people’s babies (i.e., blacks, Puerto Ricans, etc.) might live if the government ceases to finance these abortions. They point out how much cheaper, economically, it is to kill than to preserve life. If these rationalizations comfort the authors, then Amen, but why have they failed to explain their deprivation of the baby’s freedom of choice? Lastly, a vote against Hugh Carey is a vote for life. Thomas P. McMorrow Left-wing hypocrites , To the Editor The article on abortion in the Friday (Jan. 20) and Monday (Jan. 23) issues of The Spectrum shows your usualy biased, narrow-minded hypocrisy. I never cease to be amazed at the double-standards used by left-wing the pro-abortionists (if the media labels those who oppose abortion as right-wing, obviously the pro-abortionists are leftists): (l)When the issue is abortion, they claim “moral laws cannot be legislated.” When the issue is rape, protection is sought from the law (as it should be). When the issue is battered wives, they seek protection from the law (as they should). These, however, are moral issues and moral laws. Why can moral laws be legislated in some areas and not others? (2) The pro-abortionists accuse the Right To Life Organization of “using scare tactics, sensationalized presentations, emotional methods and abrasive delivery” because they dare show slides of what happens to a baby as a result of abortion. Yet when the pro-abortionists print a photo in a newspaper showing what happens to a woman from a self-induced abortion; or when they, as Ms. Gray does in her article, go to great lengths talking about methos that have been used to perform illegal abortions and the effects of those methods on the mothers, they consider themselves justified. They are not guilty of “emotional methods, scare tactics, sensationalized presentations or abrasive delivery.” Hypocrites! Concerning the article by Ms. Gray, she too gives a legthy review of historical methods and laws which she fails to substantiate. She suppresses many material studies (such as studies that have shown more battered children were planned than unplanned and polls that have shown evenly divided opinions) to a point bordering on bigotry if 1iot outright decepion. While saying that many individuals and professionals endorse the Coalition for Freedom of Choice and naming nine groups, she conveniently neglects to mention that many prominent individuals and professionals are pro-life; not does she mention even one group supporting the Right-to-Life cause except one. To quote, “The [Right to Life) Committee is nonsectarian, although many of its supporters are Catholic.” Does she, or anyone else, really think that anyone is blind eoungh not to see through this - - distortion? She says in one place, “scientific evidence and opinion can be interpreted many ways,” (I wonder if she or anyone else believes that when scientific evidence is offered as proof for other theories), and a few paragraphs later, “Scientific data may one day of these [when does life begin) answer some questions.” Who’s kidding whom? What and how much would it take to be considered by the pro-abortionists as proof that a fetus is a new human life? Which leads to the third double standard. There is a trend in the courts to allow patients the right to die by not maintaining their life support systems. Many which agree with this view also are pro-abortion. If there are no brain waves, the person is regarded as dead. The machine keeps the heart beating. The person has no heart beat or brain wave dead. This necessarily implies-that a heartbeat and brain waves are signs that there is life. A developing baby’s heart beat has been detected as early as 24 ... forget it by Dumy Parker An unnoticed event crept past this University this past week. Approximately 500 people brought out the shovels, boots, dice, Bibles, plastic smiles, joints and Honest Abe’s Handbook to Good American Values, and filled out Resident Advisor (RA) applications. For those who don’t live in the dorms, or never have, an RA is. the person in charge of dispensing toilet paper and light bulbs to people on his or her floor. Don’t misread me, some of my best friends are RAs and an RA is an important person, but an RA application asks candidates to write Opie-like answers to star spangled questions, that tend to become absurd. Here is what an RA application should look like; Q. Were you ever in the Boy Scouts (or Girl Scouts) and why? A. I was in the Cub Scouts once, but quit when I protested the Pinewood Derby races because I believed it was cruel to kill treps. While in the Scouts, and earning my way to a Clawing Bear, I received the Honesty Award for telling our leader that it was little Billy Beanface who farted during the Pledge of Allegiance. Q. Have you ever masturbated? A. No. Q. If you discovered that a resident of your flooor was using U controlled substance (i.e., marijuana), what would you do? A. I would immediately confiscate the drug to protect the individual from further harm. Q. Who were your childhood idols? A. I never really had any famous heros, although I always wanted to be like Davey of David and Goliath. You know, that Sunday morning television show with the puppet kid and his dog. Q. When you are ready for that Final Residence Hall will you go to Heaven or you know where? When I check into my final room, it will be the Big A. Dormitory in the Sky. All my life, 1 have kept a clean room, brushed my teeth twice a day, and never said a naughty word. 1 have always kept my ears clean and have never accepted candy from strangers. I bring apples to my teachers and pray regularly. When I grow up, 1 want to go into the Army and fight Communism. Q. Why do you want to be an RA? A. I want to benefit mankind by helping people at this University find contentment in their endeavors, better themselves through self-assurance, and yakety-yak, yak yak. Q. Do you enjoy filling out RA applications? A. Yes, there is nothing I would rather do than answer five absurd essay questions. I especially enjoy the 400 short answer questions that will not be used in evaluating me. As a matter of fact, 1 subconsciously hope that I’m not chosen as an RA this year so that I can have the opportunity to complete these exciting forms again next ' yeark. K v - scientific evidence "ANOTHER 600D CROP THIS YEAR" - days, brain waves at 43 days. Again they are caught in a contradiction. Finally, in one small paragraph, she mentions one of the major issues in the abortion controversy money. This is another double-standard used by the pro-abortionists. The pro-abortionists are concerned with the cost of keeping and nourishing a new human life (in terms of abortion vs. welfare costs). Yet, many of — the same advocates of abortion have no hesitation about the extra expense when the issue is turned to the criminal-right-to-life. Speaking vehmently against the death penalty as barbarous and inhuman, they think it perfectly legitimate to spend the extrd millions of dollars necessary to sustain the life of those who have been convicted of violent crimes against society, while the unborn, who have committed no crime other than that of being conceived, are sacrificed to the god of expediency upon the alter of convenience. They would rather rid society of the burden of caring for the “unviable.” Ms. Gray states that the first anti-abortion laws passed in this country were part of the humanitarian reform; why is the continuation of laws prohibiting abortion suddenly “unhumanitarian”? On the contrary, continuation of those laws are in keeping with the whole concept of human rights by extending to protect those who are unable to fight for themselves the unborn. - Wm.

The loss, recorded at the Tonawanda Sports Center, now gives Buffalo a 2-1 record in NYSCHA play. Over the season, the Bulls’ mark stands at 6-8. Buffalo, coming off a big overtime win over Brock University of Ontario, fought Elmira to a 1-1 standstill after one period of play. But then the Eagles, one of the top teams in the East with a 14-2 record, scored four straight goals to wipe out any hopes of a UB victory. Three of the goals came within a five-minute span in the third period. The game’s first ten minutes featured wide-open {day. Both squads had several end-to-end rushes but neither club could generate an offensive threat due to poor passing and disorganization. Buffalo opened the scoring at 10:28 of the first period. Defenseman Rich MacLean knocked in a rebound of a slapshot by Tom Wilde that had been blocked by Elmira netminder Glen Lombardi. Wilde and linemate Stu Campbell were credited with assists on the goal, MacLean’s fourth of the campaign.

Perhaps this will help the UB team finally “close the gap” next year, as Sanford expects. “We swam well; we’re not supposed to come that close to Buff State,” Sanford said. In the meantime, Buffalo heads for tiny Hobart College for a match at 2 p.m. tomorrow. Later in the period, the Bulls had the man advantage three times but could not score. On one occasion Buffalo had a two-man edge for 28 seconds in their opponents end but could not get a shot on goal. Elmira took advantage of Buffalo’s power play problems and slipped one goal past the Bulls in the second period and three more in the third. Doug Bowen tallied first for the Eagles from out in front of the net. Then, after the intermission, Steve Lemieux, John Griffiths, and Dan Archambeault tallied to ice the game for Elmira. Archambeault’s goal occurred while Elmira was shorthanded. The other two were scored as the Buffalo defense left the slot area clear and the Eagles unchecked.

Freshman center Don Osbom semmingly scored what would have been the Bulls’ second goal with just under one minute remaining in the contest. But, the score was disallowed after Elmira coach Barry Smith called for a measurement of the curvature of Osborn’s stick.

Buffalo’s undefeated Co-captain Kirk Anderson (158) will meet Orangeman senior John Janiak, third place finisher at the 'IS-16 NCAA Championships, in what could be the key bout of the day. Co-captain Bruce Hadsell (167), with a record of 4-1-1, senior Dave Mitchell (177) 3-1-1, senior Jeff Wheeler (190) 5-1-0, and junior heavyweight Paul Curka 5-1-0, round out Buffalo’s strong upper weights. But the lighter weights are going to have to do well, claims Michael. “We can’t just depend on our upper weights.” The Bulls’ are having injury problems which could have a devastating effect on the over-all power of the Buffalo squad. Anderson has been slowed down by a knee injury, which he suffered during the match against Colgate two weeks ago. Although he won that bout, he had a distinct limp for several, <Uys afterwards.

No. 43 Wednesday, 25 January 1978 State University of New York at Buffalo Mixed views Faculty reacts to Review Committee report Editor's Note: This is the second in a series of articles analysing the Mathematical Sciences Review Committee report. The report paints a gloomy portrait of the academic environment at this University and oasts serious doubts on the leadership qualities of administrators. This installment survey's reactions to the report among department heads and deans. by Jay Rosen qualities marshalled by administrators during the difficult period of retrogression; their performance in making the “no-win” type decisions on funding priorities; and faculty groups’ adaptations to what is a naturally divisive atmosphere should be considered significant barometers of how far the University has fallen. Higher Education is floundering in rough water everywhere this can not be denied. However, the Review Committee found the atmosphere at this University significantly worse than at other public institutions, and felt that any recommendations it could make regarding the Mathematical Sciences would be meaningless unless real improvements were made the academic in environment of the University as a whole. It is in the context of budget cuts and hard times everywhere that this report must be viewed. To do otherwise would be blaming the stabbing solely on the knife. - Managing Editor The Review Committee a number of factors which “contributed to the deterioration” of the academic environment here some more revealing than others. Certainly no one had to be told that budget cuts and the halt in Amherst construction have had a profound negative effect on the University. The real impact of the report can be found in its striking observations about the debilitative roles administrators and faculty groups play. If the academic atmosphere has shrunk as low as the Review Committee says � � � � though there is certainly no agreement on that notion then financial strain and incomplete Chairman of the Faculty i jlfoi the only. Senate Jonathan Reichert did not agent of decline. The leadership adhere to the Committee’s dim presents — - * - view of the atmosphere here, although he did perceive such feelings within some faculty groups. “I don’t feel we should underestimate the effect of the split to three campuses,” Reichert said. “I think that most of the things that depress some groups are not due to a lack of leadership but more to the physical problems.” Reichert took an optimistic toward the University’s future. He felt that a sense of academic order, long overdue, is emerging from the administration, stance in especially regards undergraduate education. to Strong words Pointing to a distinct problem in attracting the most qualified people to many administrative posts, Reichert viewed provost and department head positions as offering very few incentives. making powers are Decision muddled in the administrative structure, he felt, and the positions are poorly defined. The proapect of having to make yearly budget cuts is also a barrier to obtaining qualified administrators, Reichert said. “If you think that the job will entail some reduction in services, how do you talk someone into that? I see some problems there, commented. the chairman Reichert felt the Committee report was worded too strongly and that in general, the University environment is brightening. Dean of the Colleges Irving Spitzberg took a dissimiliar view. In response to the Committee’s opinion that “despair” pervades the campus, that a lack of loyalty haunts the University, that feuds are “rampant” and that there is no “commu'nity of scholarship” here, he stated. “I believe that those views accurately represent the perceptions of many faculty, students and staff at important parts of the University, though they are not necessarily the views one would get from a random sampling across the University.” Spitzberg felt that the relative accuracy of the Committee’s findings is not as significant as the realization that many groups genuinely agree with the repent’s dismal picture of the environment here. • Lack of leadenhqi 'The important thing is not that those views are representative,” he observed, “but that we can do something to change the conditions that create those views in important sectors of the University.” The administrative system here, Spitzberg felt, “is set very much by the demands of law and bureacracy. People don’t feel they have control over it or that the the individuals who make decisions are accountable to the appropriate Constituencies. on commenting the In Committee's Characterization of “insecure," administrators as “lacking in wisdom” and “devoid of leadership qualities" Spitzberg laid equal responsibility on the “followers” faculty members and who, students while lamenting a lack of leadership, allow themselves to be misled. The disillusioned sectors of the University “are getting the kind of leadership they deserve,” he said. “It goes back to mia culpa It’s the worst sort of cop-out to blame it solely on a lack of leadership." Attributing the decline only to a lack of resources he also felt to be - “too easy.” opinion, In Spitzberg’s criticism the Committee had about administrators did not refer to Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn abont wbfpm he was confides!. The Spectrum had earlier reported ’that Bunn’s abilities as an administrator might have been thrown in doubt by the report. “One of the big criticisms of —continued on pm* t», to attorney Granada complex purchased by David Levy City Editor By a 15-0 vote the Common Council of Buffalo approved the sale of the Granada Theater. The theater, which has been closed since the first week of May 1976, was sold to a local attorney, Lawrence Mattar. (Mattar bought the theater along with the six storefronts and Seven apartments which make up the Granada Complex for $85,000 from the city of Buffalo. Originally, the theater hwl been a respectable movie house; It was later sold to Michael Theaters of Long Island, which owns a chain of pornographic movie houses throughout the state. After a few years of poor business, the Granada was forced to close, leaving behind approximately $100i060 in upaid city, state and sewer taxes. As a result of the building’s abandonment, the city seized the property in lieu of the unapid monies and recently put the theater up for sale. 3e bid aced stiff competition to buy the Granada, ist food restaurants of ed on taking the whole nd turning it into a Wendy’s turned in a bid of $140,000 for the complex, including the theater. According to the company’s estimates, an additional $20,000 would have been needed to demolish the theater along with $140,000 needed to build the new restaurant. Mattar made a somewhat more conservative bid of $85,000 for the complex along with a planned expenditure of $110,000 for renovation. The Common Council was faced with the problem of deciding between Wendy’s bid of $140,000 or Mattar’s bid of $85,000. Why then did the Council vote to go with Mattar’s? Senior citizens According to Mattar there were reasons why his bid was accepted over Wendy’s. “First, the bidding specifications issued by the city’s real estate division stipulated that the complex be renovated and operated as a theater.” Mattar promised to renovate the theater both inside and out. He also told city officials that the Granada would show children matinees, weekly movies, art films, ballets, first and second run movies as well as hold special programs for senior citizens of the two area. Mattar plans on spending a “significant portion” of the $110,000 in renovation money on the exterior of the Granada Complex. That would include a complete face-lift for the building, with a thorough cleaning and paint job as priority items. Mattar also said that $25,000 would go towards renovating the inside of the theater. As part of a general refurbishing, new seats, rugs and drapes will be purchased. The seven apartments above the complex will also be renovated. Local sentiment The bidding specifications mandated the sale of the Granada Complex to a business that would help the economy of the area. Local sentiment among the residents and businessmen ran strongly against Wendy’s fast food restaurant. Although it Was acknowledged that Wendy’s would help to revive the area’s anemic economy, businessmen felt the problems presented by it’s construction at that location outweighed the advantages. Local proprietors were outraged at the thought of another fast food “joint” and the resultant increased competition for other area restaurants. There are now 16 restaurants or fast food places between the Granada and the University. One of the local businessmen, Hugh Miller who owns Herzog’s Drug Store, is happy that the city has decided to accept Mattar’s bid over Wendy’s. “If they go ahead with it, I think it’s pretty good,” Miller said. Although he doesn’t foresee any appreciable effect on the area’s economy, Miller thinks that the new theater will help the in Hi less wholesome days. area at least in terms of prestige Traffic fears Another reason for the opposition to Wendy’s was the feared traffic problems once the restaurant opened for business. Wendy’s expected around 500 cars a day in and out of it’s parking lot. The volume of cars according to the businessmen would have posed a hazard not only to normal pedestrian traffic but also to the many school children who go home for hinch everyday in the area. Mattar himself will not be operating the Granada. He has leased the operation to Victor Mole, an experienced theater operator whose record has already been established. Mole, working for Mattar, took the Riveria Theater in North Tonawanda from a bankruptcy to financial success. Mattar expects the new Granada Theater to open sometime in the spring. The dosing of the deal between Mattar and the city will take place as soon as proper title has been transferred, although no problems are expected. �The name has changed, but i Some outrageous S-l bill returns to Senate things’in S1437 • * ' Commentary -e v - / .. . jCt-' ' • Daniel Ellsberg to spend up to 15 years behind bars for his role in procuring the material for The by Joel Mayersohn Spectrum Staff Writer ' Despite, the . overwhelming public outcry that stopped Senate Bill 1 in Congress, Arkansas Senator John McClellan and Massachusetts Senator Edward' Kennedy are pressing for quick compromise' Senate passage of bill, a revised “Criminal Code Reform Act of 1977,” known as 51431 Kennedy, one of the co-sponsors of tim bin said,, “There are some outrageous things in this bill, but it’s the best compromise that can pass.” Other thihgs proponents ‘of this bill argue are that it would update obsolete statutes and clarify ' - * ' • * existing federal states that a person activities, it by Wendy Knsnoff Spec*/ ft* The Spectrum criminal tow.

S-l was called by civil liberties organizations as a “legislative chamber of horrors,” because it was a complete reversal from the recommendations of the 1971 Brown Commission findings.

Fabrizio commented that the name was changed because “the scope of the program was broadened.

If our sister units adopt the three credit system, we will be at a' disadvantage if we retain the 4-3 policy,” Yearly said. Yearly maintained that it would be easier from an education standpoint to.retain the present 4-3 policy. “A change at this point would cause a lot of confusion and paperwork, I see no particular educational advantage in changing to a 3-3 system.

If students work hard, they will do well under any system. A three credit policy won’t necessarily enable students to get a better education,” Yearly said. either system and that there would be no great disruption by changing to the proposed three credit system- “Our curriculum is flexible enough to adapt to either policy,” he said. “Originally the 4 credit system was adopted to encourage more in-depth study. This theory never seemed to panout though since there was no change in course structure or material by adopting the 4 credit policy.” MacGillivary further commented that neither system has any clear advantage over the other “We have not found any basis for arguing one way or the other. We just want to do the best thing for the department,” MacGillivary said.

The Buffalo Police Department received 440 complaints of sexual assault in 1977, 268 of these were crimes of rape and attempted rape. There is no rape squad in the Buffalo Police Department, but rather a group of policewomen who handle sexual crimes. “There were 170 arrests this past year in connection with rape and sexual assault,” according to Buffalo Police Department Detective Lois lr! Harriman. ' When a rape is reported, Harriman said, the victim is taken to the hospital immediately for a pelvic examination. “A statement is then taken, and if she has seen enough of the attacker, a composite is drawn,” she reported. “The next steptis to obtain an arrest warrant.” University Police Officer Peggy Chipetta said, “Rape is not as serious a problem on campus as it is off-campus. Only one on-campus rape has been reported in the last couple of months.” Two men have been indicted in that case according to Chipeita. “There have been five rapes reported in the past year,” said Chipetta. “We’re lucky that rape isn’t a larger problem because of all the isolated places on campus, especially at the Amherst Campus.” Chipetta claimed that one rape was reported at the Amherst Campus last year and an arrest has been made in connection with that case. Chipetta initiated the Rape Prevention Program at this University and will give lectures upon request. She is currently working on a program with Group Legal Services (GLS) and will be part of a Life Any women Rape and sexual assault are a reality, according How to Deal With It. to a/jpamphlet entitled Rape race or class is a regardless age, of Any women potential target for a rapist and women must become aware of this, the pamphlet said. The booklet, which was put together by a group of women from GLS and the Psychology Department, states that only one-third to one-tenth of all rapes are actually reported. It warns women that the longer they wait to report the attack, the harder it will be to obtain a and more often,” she commented. “There is a University Policewoman on duty 24 hours a day.” Spectrum Weekly meetings ; Counseling program is for rape victims Rape victims will begin meeting once a week to talk about and deal with their emotional problems in a new program sponsored by the University Counseling Service. The six-week program is staffed by three counselors who have had experience working with women and problems posed by rape. Two of the counselors are Counseling Service staff members and one is a graduate student intern. One of the counselors, Amy Pitt, stated, “Rape is a growing concern, especially since the rape of a staff member in the Union.” She is unsure of the number of rapes that have occurred on campus, but suggested that many go unreported. Pitt added, “This new organization is not an action group, like rape prevention. Instead, it is an outlet for victims’ feelings, coming about because of requests from women at this University who felt there was a need to be able to share their feelings after the horror of rape.” She remarked that this type of service is new because it reaches out only to the victim. Anger, rage or cry “The purpose of this group,” said Assistant Director Bea Roth, “is to allow women to get out their feelings, not to repeat the story of the rape. After this terrible experience, women often feel that they are all alone. This program will show them that they are not. They will be able to express anger, rage or just sit and cry if that’s where they’re at.” added, “Some women feel shameful or guilty that they did something to deserve what has happened to them. She hopes that such feelings will be overcome after participation in these new sessions. “It is possible that the program will help victims deal with present and future relationships with men,” agreed both of the counselors. Pitt said, “We’ve been dealing with the problem of rape for a long time. It’s nothing new to us.” Women who have been raped but are reluctant to participate in a group situation are urged to call the University Counseling Service at 831-3717 for individual counseling. The new group, starting on Friday, January 27, will meet in 78S Harriman. Life f] Workshops jB Free-of-charge � Credit Open to faculty, students, staff, alumni and spouses.

The Task Force will initially take a Universitywide survey concerning rape and then submit recommendations to the administration, “We will also be working on an escort service to walk women around campus at night,” Tobol said, “University Police will be allowing us to use their facilities to screen and interview applicants for the program. We will also try to bring about more workshops and possibly a taxi service.” Tobol is also teaching a course on Tuesday nights for WSC on the political aspects of rape.

SASU is asking that students send these “refusal-to-pay” cards to Albany. Many students are worried about the implications of refusing to pay the fee, according to Clifford. “We need people to realize that nothing will happen to them if they refuse to pay. We realize that $8.50 won’t make or break anyone. We’re fighting this thing on principal alone,” he added. Clifford assured that there would be no penalties by refusing to pay the fee. “The fee can be paid at any time without penalty. If we find by April 1 that the Legislature won’t repeal it, SA will place an advertisement in The Spectrum advising those who signed pledge cards to pay the fee and clear their accounts.” The pledge card drive will continue through next week with a booth in Squire Hall. Clifford prefers, however, that students drop off their cards at SASU offices in Talbert Hall. “The Attack the Leisure ' \ Suits 99 Thursday, Jan. 26th at 8 pm More students expected Katharine Cornell Theatre Tickets: General Public $2, Faculty/Staff $1.50, Students $1 available at Squire Hall Ticket Office TICKETS BOUGHT FOR THE CANCELLED PERFORMANCE WILL BE HONORED. - THIS IS NOT THE SAME SHOW THAT WAS GIVEN BY THE BUFFALO COMEDY WORKSHOP AT THE TRALFAMADORE CAFE. NOTE: University housing could get worse Incoming freshman and transfer students may not receive University housing next fall. According to Vice President for Housing and Auxiliary Services Len Snyder, “Enrollment is expected to increase this fall and there is a chance that students will be denied space.”. Housing will attempt to maintain strict adherence to key housing dates, according to Director of Housing Madison Boyce. “Our major problem has been with students who have come to us as late as August asking for space in the dorms,” Boyce explained. “It is these people who will now be denied space.” Housing has no plans for renting apartments outside the University nor does the construction priority list call for the building of additional dorms. For students who are denied space in the dorms, “Housing will refer them to the Off-Campus Housing office,” Boyce commented. Tripled doubles Last fall. Housing was faced with the unfortunate situation of placing three people in rooms designed to accommodate two people. To prevent the recurrence of this situation, Housing will overbook a smaller percentage of students requesting dorm space. Boyce stated, “We will allow a larger cushion this year in order to protect ourselves.” Housing is currently negotiating with the Office of Facilities Planning and other University departments for available space next semester. According to Snyder “as it appears now Spaulding Quad will not be available for dormitory housing next semester. It's a major issue every time a room designed for residential use serves some other purpose.” All knotted up When questioned about other alternatives Housing could take to prevent overcrowding, Boyce said, “Our hands are tied.” Housing is not able to increase the non-refundable deposit because state law only permits a $100 deposit, a limit that Housing now maintains. The shifting of campuses and the general transition of the University have directly contributed to many of Housing's present troubles. Snyder said. “We are now in a difficult state. With the phasing out of the Ridge Lea campus, space is becoming more valuable. Housing enrollment increased by five percent last semester and has been increasing for the past five years, Snyder stated that convenience, lack of off-campus housing, and reasonably priced dorm space have contributed to the increase in the number of students seeking dorm rooms. Boyce was especially pleased that “This year we have the highest percent of returning students ever.” Housing is constantly working to upgrade its services. Presently. Housing is analyzing a survey of various aspects of student life in the dorms, and hopes to use this report to continue its ongoing search for bptter student services. -Joel Mayersohn • Wednesday, 25 January 1978 .

Mathematical Sciences Review Committee reported in part: The unsettled conditions (stemming specifically from budget cuts which discouraged faculty and halts in construction perpetuating the split in all facets of University life) were compounded by appointing administrative officers who themselves were insecure, buffeted by the current budget uncertainties, lacking in «Asdom and self-Confidence, and generally devoid of the leadership qualities that are essential in a thriving intellectual environment.” .. m&ps- ■ mrap N \ The same words ring true for this year's student government leadership, according to former SA Vice President Andy Lalonde. As the administrative leadership of the University is allegedly unable to deal properly with budget cuts and disillusioned faculty, so are SA ,officials unable to deal effectively with the University administration. When the Committee advised that "overall planning should be undertaken on a campus-wide basis," it implied that administrative officials do not have the power to look beyond the immediate necessities inherent in the process of running a university. Nor apparently are SA officials capable of seeing "beyond the process" of insuring that the bureaucracy that distributes student mandatory fee monies each year is functional, or at least minimally capable of answering questions posed by the student press. i MY &CW HAS PROSpERgp OmWT AFFIRM' me A£Tm \ •• 'JMh *>; * One caM in point is the current controversy over the termination of the four course load, upon recommendation of the Faculty-Senate Committee.

Walter Simpson �FEEDBACK Sexist t-shirt contest 3t,'5r To the Editor. This letter was evoked by the advertisement for a wet t-shirt contest in Friday’s (1/20) issue of The Spectrum. Wet t-shirt contests, as are" beauty pageants by their very nature, are sexist. That is, men judge a woman’s attractiveness, thereby making appearances all-important for women, and rendering us mere objects to be regarded and evaluated by men. To add to the offensive nature already inherent competitions, wet t-shirt contests, in particular, have not only sexual overtones, but also involve an act of violence towards women. That is, the act of thrusting a bucket of water at the in these contestant. The connection of sex and violence is not new or exclusive to these contests, but instead, pervades our culture. The best example is the high frequency ’ 'a JV si- . jfc* ,7 if , , • of rape If women are ever to be free, sex and violence must be separated. We must end the attitude that the latter is justified by the former. Furthermore, women must no longer be taught that their only value is physical, specifically sexual. It is bad enough that there are wet t-shirt contests anywhere, but to have one at a University pub is horrifying. 1 hope that its sponsors, upon realizing its implications, cancel it at once. If not, they will be fostering antiquated sexist philosophies and practices, and offending, indeed harming, the women of this University, and all women. Finally, knowing that this contest will be detrimental to women should be enough cause for its cancellation. If not, perhaps a boycott of the Pub by women and sympathetic men will be a more convincing demonstration of our outrage. We miss ya Janet Chassman To the Editor.

The former Vice President indicated that the members of the SA Executive Committee, particularly Delia and* SA treasurer Neil Seidan, are not in touch with the student body. Andy which would have rendered student initiated referendums virtually impossible to be put on the ballot. He was afriad of another “Leverendum.” He was afraid of allowing students to legislate for themselves. President Deha’s isolation from student opinion can also be seen in the constant rejection by the student senate of new legislation introduced by Delia. Consultation with other student leaders would have shown to Delia how little support for most of his bills there was. Consulting with other students outside of the Executive Committee might also have enabled Delia to change his bills, making them more acceptable to Lalonde has admitted publically what everyone connected with SA has known all along, that the Delia administration might be a lot of things but that it is certainly not a government representative of the students or responsive to thenneeds. Dennis Delia has tried to decrease the average student’s voice in his/her own student government. Last semester, for example, Delia went so far in his quest to remove himself from the effects of student opinion that he proposed a constitutional Steinfeld ' the Senate. I hope Dennis Deha’s working relationship with the administration is good because he obviously will continue to refuse to work with students and the student Senate, just as he has in the past refused to work with his own Vice President. Patrick Young S>4 Senator Laid Back Johnny To the Editor. In a University filled with 25,000 people from all areas of the country and the world, it is all but too easy to get lost in the shuffle of things. For some, schoolbooks may be the only solace in a world of loneliness. Others may flee to a world of mind-boggling hallucinogens, the various ways of escaping the realities and pressures of a student’s life are too numerous and varied to mention. The shattering and frightening experience of living away from home for the first time, as well as the encompassing loneliness previously discussed, have been for some, transformed by the mellowness and inner calm of Johnny Reid. Within his own grasp, Johnny has made believers out of many persons residing in Ellicott. Whether it’s playing his electric oboe or signing autographs, laid back Johnny Reid has all of his believers reaching out to those who are lonely. His philosophies of mellowness and peace have soothed the ruffled feathers of many, allowing them to reach out to those who never before experienced. So if you’re in need of someone (or something) to believe in who is tangible and always there when you need him, check out our wordly philosophies in this one Johnny Reid.

Such writing is an insult to one’s intelligence, a superficial and vicious attack on the liberal trends of the past few years and yellow journalism of the lowest quality.

One part of the report deals with crimes which are considered “iltchoate,^ including attempt, conspiracy, complicity, and solicitation. Criminal penalties are based not on the actual conduct which constitutes the crime, but on that prior to the occqrance of the crime, or on conduct by persons on the periphery who did not themselves actually participate in the crime. ■ This section can be used to prosecute many, individuals who participate in group political activity, by making everyone associated with the group liable for the conduct of a few members. This section also renders a person guilty of an offense if “he intentionally engages in conduct that, in fact, constitutes a substantial step toward the commission of the Crime.” This would mean, for example, that a person who planned with others to picket a courthouse and then walked in its direction would be guilty of an offense, though he or she neither reached the courthouse nor picketed there, This section also states that a mere expression of agreement to commit an offense constitutes a a for crime; conversation, example, would furnish the necessary proof to-prosecute. The section entitled “Liability of an Accomplice” establishes a general offense of complicity, This makes a person “criminally liable for an offense based upon the conduct of another person if he knowingly aids or abets the commission of the offense by the other person.” Thus, a person who urges a young man to avoid the draft by emigrating to Canada could be prosecuted. ‘ punish journalists —continued from page 2— • “creates a physical interference or recruitment, abstacle to the conscription, or induction” of persons into the armed forces, or incites others to evade military service.

Refusal to comply with duties, and aiding or abetting the commission of mutiny or desertion would also constitute a who reveal government information the attempts to withhold from the public. The New York Times or the Washington Post could be prosecuted under this section if they were to print some future equivalent of the Pentagon Papers. Another section entitled Government “Obstructing a Function by Fraud,” puts into statutory form the theory on Ellsberg and which- Daniel Anthony Russo were indicted for releasing the Pentagon Papers. In effect, the government can claim it is being defrauded if deprived of its right to release its “secrets” at its own time and by its own means. Another section of S1437 is considered by its opponents to political opposition curtail directed against actions of the 1323 judiciary. Section (Tampering with a Witness or an Informant) makes it an offense to do “any act with intent to influence improperly, or obstruct or impair the administration of any law or the exercise of a legislative power of inquiry .” - — crime. The Committee Against Repressive Legislation claims that this provision could readily be used to suppress many forms of legitimate opposition to judicial, legislative or administrative, proceedings.

Leadership problems, he felt, were caused by a heavy reliance on bureaucratic decision making processes. “They [administrators] cannot make judgements by themselves,” he commented. ‘They tend to rely on the process of consultation. There doesn’t seem to be anyone who is going to make the higher decisions. That just tpras people off.” The University provides few “perennial incentives and i Unrewarded dedication “Perhaps we should have done what the Committee is accusing other departments of doing.

The basketball intramurals are conducted under the supervision of the Assistant Intramural Director Steve Allen. A major portion of the organizational and technical work is carried through by three UB students, Mike Betz, Mike Groh and Billy Steinkohl. This year participation in the basketball intramurals is high. Over 750 students actively participate, with additional students who serve as referees, scorekeepers and timekeepers. Five games are played in the fall semester and five in the spring. The team in each league, with the best won-loss record at the end of each five game season, is entitled to a playoff spot. This year, the playoffs are scheduled to begin in early March. .

Intramurals are handled in the same way, but the request is made through Director of Intramurals and Recreation Bill Monkarsh. One problem, according to StaebeU, is that the- money that has been allocated is not available untU the students pay their bUls. Therefore, equipment not bought on state contract has to be submitted to individual vendors for bids and doesn’t always arrive on time. Sometimes goods such as leather basketballs, which are needed for varsity competition, aren’t available under state equipment contract.

StaebeU also holds another interesting position he is the mayor of Alden, New York. Elected in 1972, StaebeU is nearing the end of his second — two-year term as mayor. He will continue in that capacity as long as the 3000 residents of Alden keep voting for him. Is’being mayor hard to fit into his schedule? ‘it’s a part-time job,” he said, adding that Alden also has a full time business staff. Having lived in Alden for all of his 53 years, StaebeU has taken an active interest in his community. Prior to becoming mayor, he was very active in the local fire company and stUl is to some extent. Borderline Staebell has been handling the needs of UB athletes for ten years. A mason and plasterer by trade, he was maintenance supervisor at UB from 1954 to 1968. When the previous equipment manager died, Staebell began to work part-time in the athletic department, becoming full-time equipment manager soon after.

Page thirteen , �N Track team starts season on wrongfoot Committee proudly presents jazz The UB track team opened its 1978 indoor season last Saturday with a loss to Fredonia 91Vi - 16H. Fredonia, one of the best Division III track teams in the state, swept every event except the long jump. “In terms of the score we got demolished,” said Coach Walter Gantz. But in each event we were right there. We made those guys work. They knew they were in a race. We couldn’t say the same last year.” Many UB runners finished just off the pace. In the two-mile race, Fredonia’s Rich Nearly led the latter half of the race with Buffalo's Mike Fischer right on his shoulder in second. In the last fifth of a mile, Tim Zintel kicked by both men to pull out a win for Fredonia. Zinte) finished in 9:26.8 with Fischer 1.2 seconds behind at 9 28. Zindel set a Fredonia School record. of Ga/per Two-mile team In the 880, it was Milt Moore first across for Fredonia in 2:02. Just .6 seconds behind Moore were UB sprinters Ken Dole and Gene Schwal who finished with the exact same time. Dole and Sehwall were also members of a strong two-mile relay, along with Ernest Myers and Lanny Doan. Gantz thinks that the Bulls will have a strong two-mile relay this The only victorious Bull was Jeff Regan, a recent transfer from Rochester. Regan won the long jump with a mark of 19’11V4”. In the triple jump Regan went 36’ and took thijd place. The track team this year should have a better record then last year’s, but right now the sprinters are not in top shape and there are not enough of them. Lack of manpower has hurt this team in the past and continues to do so. On Saturdays, UB only had one weight man and no high jumpers.' Because of this Gantz is still recruiting athletes for the team.

There " A committee of six oustanding began academians with this somber preamble its account of the “deterioration of university life” at the State University of New York at Buffalo. The report of the Mathematical Sciences Review Committee takes a redoubtable view of the academic environment here and traces the decline of the University to SUNY budget cuts, negativism and poor faculty administrative leadership The committee, comprised of outstanding mathematicians from respected universities across the nation, was commissioned to evaluate the program Mathematical Sciences here in “From the very beginning,' the final report reads, “the committee was confronted with an administrative and political situation which made it difficult to conduct a conventional academic The survey thus felt it academians appropriate to begin their report with a general examination of the academic and physical climate at the University, before launching into specific recommendations for the Math Sciences ” Refusal to release The while committee, recognizing the debilitating effect of budget cuts and construction gloomy stoppages, paints a portrait of academic life here and casts serious doubts on the of leadership qualifications appointed administrators Spectrum The was denied access to the Report which, upon completion was forwarded to Acting Dean of Undergraduate Hducation Walter Kunz, Dean of Graduate Education Charles Fogel and Provost of the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics Paul Reitan. Reitan Kunz, Fogel and prepared a second report for Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald F. Bunn, summarizing the Review Committee’s work and including their own recommendations concerning the Math Sciences program Bunn offered to The Spectrum a copy of the Kunz-Fogel-Reitan report, but refused to release the Review Committee’s findings. The committee’s disconcerting view of the academic University’s partially quoted environment above was largely ignored in the report which Bunn was prepared to release. The Kunz-Fogel-Reitan concentrated almost report on the exclusively specific recommendations the committee made regarding the Math Sciences program. In summarizing the Review Committee’s sobering comments on the general climate of the University, the Kunz-Fogel-Reitan report says only; “The overall tone of the academic environment at SUNY Buffalo is not very — good.” Bunn claimed that the Review was report Committee’s “confidential,” despite the fact that it was attached to the document Kunz-Fogel-Reitan The Spectrum obtained a copy of & Dean of Graduate Acting Education, Charles Eogel Acting Dean of Undergraduate Education, Walter Kunz Executive Vice President of the University, Albert Somit the committee’s findings through Faculty responded by ‘looking out only for themselves " and by consenting to “unrealistic'' for plans administrative academic other sources The Review Committee report lists six main factors which have contributed to the general decline in University life here The SUNY system was thrown into “dissarray” when funding suddenly increases stopped coming before planned programs and projects could be completed. Faculty members who were attracted by the bright future of found SUNY at Buffalo themselves immersed an in environment characterized mainly by financial austerity. The halt in construction the University, causing a great deal of wasted motion and split aggravation “The unsettled conditions were compounded by appointing administrative officers who t hemselves were insecure buffetted by the current budget uncertainties, lacking in wisdom and self-confidence, and generally devoid of the leadership qualities that are essential in a thriving intellectual environment departmental growth The professional faculty contributed to the “general mediocrity” of the University union atmosphere through procedures and policies. The committee recommendations felt it, its that all any would be or group, could make “meaningful useless until improvements” are made in the present University environment Accordingly, the team advised overall planning should be undertaken on a campus-wide basis administrative offices should be filled by people who exhibit interest m their jobs and are committed to “stay in place” for a number of years. firm lines on issues should be taken by the administration and courses of action should be pursued swiftly faculty positions that are not filled by the fall should be left vacant until the following year The Review Committee observations about administrators including the terms “insecure” and "lacking in wisdom” appear to the directly dispute qualifications of the people who invited that same committee. Bunn, as Vice President for Academic Affairs, would be most The particularly implicated. competance of Reitan, whose appointment as Provost of the Paucity of Natural Sciences and Mathematics is up for review, are questioned by the report Kunz’ Fogel’s and merits as might administrators also be thrown into doubt.

Reiss Managing Editor University Administration. “If Dennis’ goal was responsibility,” Andy Lalonde, who resigned last week as Student Association (SA) Executive Vice President, said Friday that SA has been an ineffective body and has failed to needs. He meet students’ specifically blamed SA President being Delia for Dennis SA ‘‘dictatorial” and the Executive Committee for not being more open and accessible to students. Lalonde, who along with Delia was swept into office on the crest of the Aurora Party’s remarkable triumphs in last year’s student elections, has been doing battle Delia throughout with their tenure in office. The two clashed on both the direction of SA’s endeavors and the methods by goals which its should be accomplished ‘We’ve failed’ He detailed the government’s across the board shortcomings in terms of fiscal responsibility, most student services and lack of its significantly, effectiveness in working with the fiscal the embattled former Vice President said, “then we’ve failed because we’ve had cutbacks. We’ve got limited funds, and as soon as the pressure was put on us, we changed our policies. If his goal was student then we’ve activities. failed because students have many questions as to exactly what services and activities SA provides. Our work in terms of student activities has not been a success.” Lalonde was most critical of his government’s relationship with the University Administration. The advantages of and ability to “work with the Administration” have been the cornerstone of Delia’s pobtical philosophy since assuming office, and he and President Robert University Ketter have worked in tandem attempting to promote Buffalo construction efforts. However, Lalonde claimed that Delia’s close ties with the Administration have had deleterious effects on the students, saying that SA has refused to the challenge Administration on a number of key issues. “Dennis has worked together with the Administration,” Lalonde said, "and simply would not stand up to them He just refused to challenge them In terms of academic decisions, students were not in there at all.” He said one of the goals set torth beginning the of the administration was to be responsive to student concerns “Dennis last year expounded on the idea of helping students,” l,alonde said. “He hasn’t done it claimed that student services have been reduced, citing “non-publication” of the the Course Description Hanbook, the S C A T 1 form, and the abortive attempt at a Student Book at ” No confrontations Lalonde made specific mention of the failure of student officials to deter the Faculty Senate from adopting its committee report, thereby bringing an end to the four credit-three University’s classroom hour system He felt the fact that the Faculty Senate and the Administration ran roughshod over students was indicative of SA’s inability to confront the Administration on salient issues. “We’re supposed to be working Administration,” with the Lalonde stated, “but apparently the Administration agrees with the Faculty Senate. Dennis is right in opposing the Faculty Senate decision but we weren’t able to do anything about it. What Reichert Chairman [Faculty Senate Jonathan Reichert] wants, Reichert gets Students are simply getting fucked over in terms of Exchange “SA stronger students “There will have approach involved,” currently is We’ve communication Lalonde academics. We must dissociate ourselves with the Administration.” No student backing Lalonde said that SA’s inability to open its doors to students has been one of its greatest failings a getting he said no student lost all lines of with students Groups and clubs no longer have any say in issues due to the split in campuses. SA must watch out that it does not become just another club or the Administration will make all the decisions. Lalonde claimed, however, that SA did “get certain things done” and accomplished more than did some past administrations. Yet he said that “we haven’t done a lot and we could've been a lot more effective.” backing Student Former Association Executive Vice President Andy take to at ” �Views on Medicaid Co-op meets deadline payments for abortion Finance statement submitted Editor’s Note: This is the second in a series of articles on abortion The following segment deals with current efforts of local groups and the Medicaid issue. The Co-op has complied with regulating the Co-op while its lawsuit with Carl Direct Friday deadline to submit financial statements The jointly filed statements for the months of April, May, June and July and the separate statements of September and October were by Susan Gray Spectrum Staff Writer The battle continues. It has been five years since the Supreme Court legalized abortion. Heated controversy still surrounds the issue Although much of the debate is centered around moral concerns, there is a growing feeling that abortion is primarily a woman’s health issue The questions of when life begins and when a fetus becomes a person, while central to the philosophies of many pro- and anti-abortion groups, may never be resolved with any certainty Scientific eveidence and opinion can be interpreted in many ways as yet, no concrete answers exist. The legality of abortion and the legislation accompanying it are major issues facing the public today. Although the 1973 Supreme Court decision held abortion as a private matter and a woman’s right, subsequent judicial rulings have restricted and qualified the availability of abortion, particularly in the case of public funding Medicaid Medicaid is a 50-50 proposition, divided between state and federal governments. Federal and state funds combine to reimburse physicians and clinics for the cost of abortions performed on underprivileged women using Medicaid for health care. In June 1977, the Supreme Courst ruled that states were not required to pay for non-therapeutic, elective abortions under the Medicaid law the decision to continue or cut off funding was to be left up to state legislatures To this date, 34 states have elected to cut off funds.

A $.50 donation is suggested, to defray expenses. — Big issue On the national level, the Hyde Amendment to a Labor-Health Education and Welfare Appropriations Bill went into effect on December 9, 1977. The amendment prohibited the use of federal monies for Medicaid abortions except when a woman’s life was in danger, when she would incur severe and long-lasting physical health damage, as determined by two physicians, or for victims of rape or incest when reported promptly The language of the Hyde Bill has vi iz cr "lI been a source of contention and debate among Congressional members involved its in introduction. For five months, the House and Senate battled over such words as “severe” and “long-lasting,” and the exact definition of “promptly” when reporting rape and incest. The Hyde present Amendment replaces an early rider which prohibited the federal funding of all abortions, except where the c/> woman’s life was endangered. This is the “Big Issue” in the current controversy over abortion rights. Until August, 1977 (the enactment of the first Hyde Amendment), three out of ten legal abortions performed in this country were Medicaid financed. The impact of a funding ban on women is enormous. The Department of Health, Education, and Welfare estimates that without Medicaid reimbursement of funds, at least 250 women will die each year from illegal or self-induced abortions and more than 25,000 will suffer complications from these unsafe procedures, severe enough to require hospitalization. In addition, statistics show that unwanted children have a higher probability of being battered, neglected, and abused. Local struggle The cost of Medicaid financed abortions is S40 and $50 million per year. Without this funding, the annual cost to the taxpayers would be between $450 and $565 million for medical care and public aid in the first year after birth approximately $2,200 per woman. In New York State, funds are still being provided for Medicaid abortions. This year, however, two bills have been introduced into the state legislature which would prohibit continued reimbursement. Both pfn- and anti-abortion groups are conducting intensive campaigns, lobbies, and appeals to the public to gain support for their causes. The two main forces involved in the local struggle are the Western New York Coalition for Freedom of Choice and the Erie County Right to Life Committee. The Western New York Coalition for Freedom of Choice is located at 210 Franklin Street in downtown Buffalo. It is funded totally by contributions from the community and operates with a 100 percent volunteer staff. The Coalition was started three years ago, stemming from a growing concern for insuring the legality of the right of abortion. It is affiliated with a larger, national organization the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL). - — Pluralistic society The Coalition for Freedom of Choice is endorsed by many individuals and professionals in the community, as well as nine organizations. The Western New York chapters of the following groups are supporters of the Coalition: American Civil Liberties Union, the Humanist Society, the National Lawyers Guild, the Religious Coalition fpr Freedom of Choice, NOW, the Department of Episcopal Women, the Task Force on Women of the Presbytery, the National Association of Social Workers, and the National Counsel of Jewish Women. Joan Levine, co-chairperson of the Coalition and Public Affairs Coordinator of Planned Parenthood of Buffalo, explained the philosophy behind the Freedom of Choice movement, saying “American citizens should have reproductive self-determination —continued on page. 12— V*.V~.-~ tMSK W— - * ■»■- ■■-.«-• Plage two ’Die Spectrum Monday, 23 January 1978 1 teOu'j . . .Bn.VVwip . » S\V» •JVVi.1'. , 1 Nancy’s Pizza 1 j j Sheridan Drive Parkhurst 832-6867! j Large Cheese and Pepperoni Pizza | & *2.95 (Tax Included) • — with this coupon ,oA | �Memories . .

According to the report, the CIA's Office of Security was directed to assist the Office of Personnel! Recruitment Division, following engitled dated several January student protests incernmg the CIA's Indirect contact Fearing that CJA recruiters might face physical by higher echelons of the CIA to provide substantial information which would help anticipate threats to overt CIA campus recruitment effort harm, the Office of Security was ordered recruiters offices, and resident agents were in direct contact The lield offices responded extemely well. They used existing contacts at the various colleges, developed new informants and came up with information that could indicate that they attended some of the dissident meetings. They developed files on the Universities and Colleges, came to know all the campus security people, special units in the local and state police, as well as other knowlegeable people not further identified ." I h us, I ho CIA pooled its operational resources to surveil as many "subversive," politically active students as possible. The previously cited excerpt clearly slates that the CIA had gathered information on student political activities prior to the 1970 recruit ment surge field Penetration As part of this recruitment program, an agent scouted the University of Minnesota prior to a series of publicly scheduled interviews by a CIA recruiter. In document S2, dated October 22, 1967, he writes that he would "query his sources on campus" and later reported that an informant had "excellent penetration into the student body," I he key word to this particular agent’s ledger is "penetration.” It was the penetration of other agents on numerous campuses across the nation that led to the central filing of "subversive" students at each institution. Two additional documents contain typical reports on campus activities One filed in general 1967 describes advance work at Northwestern University, by "casing” the student political situation at the University of Wisconsin at Madison Fach of these newly-released documents contradict of the Rockefeller findings Commission a “whitewash” by many current and former student leaders after its release during President Ford’s term. In reference to investigatory work connected with on-campus CIA recruitment, the Commission reported, “We found nothing to indicated that the CIA collected this information by any means other than openly published materials and conversations with law enforcement and other authorities The documents, of course, do not support findings. More investigative techniques A series of lists sheds new light on the CIA's overt recruitment practices.

In that letter, he suggested that the FBI “be authorized to use more advanced investigative techniques in dealing with this jwbblem In both letters, the CIA Director acknowledges that the preparation for these surveillaiutes violated the Agency’s mandate against predetermined " “illegal" acts. theUT �Departments study new credit system Departments throughout the University are presently conducting reviews to determine the type of policy they will adopt vis-a-vis the three credit lor three classroom hour policy. The Faculty Senate adopted this policy on December 13, striking down the nine-year-old four credit system The report allows for a liberal translation of the credit hour system so that indivisual departments may establish their own credit hour policies, Jenson Needless to say.

Foster said, “The three credit system is basically good It gives students a broader education with less in depth study The School o( Management is presently reviewing its departments to determine the effectiveness of the four credit system, according to Foster. “A meeting of faculty and students will be arranged soon to discuss in what direction the school will go," he said The ultimate decision lies with the faculty of Management.

Abortion should be a woman's choice, irrespective of the politics that rule its legality and financing. That is to say. abortion should be first and foremost a moral and health issue, and the freedom of choice involved in making the decision to have an abortion must stem from the will of the individual. Clearly, "freedom of choice" should be a universal axiom, not one that must be by those who can afford it and denied to those (Mio can't. However, the puritanical trappings which have always characterized, this country's morals (and work habits) have infiltrated its politics to such an extent that legal and moral issues have become one and the same. In June of last year, the Supreme Court ruled that me states were not required to pay for elective abortions with Medicaid To the Tditor funds. To date, 34 states have elected to cut off funds Based on that decision, the Hyde Amendment prohibiting the Having a wet tee-shirt contest in the Wilkeson use of federal monies for Medicaid abortions except when a woman’s Pub is a fine idea, I suppose, but i think men should life is in danger, when she would incur severe and long-lasting physical get equal time they should have a chance to health damage, or when she was the victim of rape or incest went display their wares, But just as women are not into effect on December 9. The language of this prohibitive bill has physically built to compete in men's sports such as been a source of contention among members of Congress and the football, so men are not built favorably for such sport as the wet tee-shirt contest They must adapt Senate ever since. This year, two bills have been introduced into the New York State the game to meet their own physical attributes I think a wet underwear contest would be a legislature to prohibit Medicaid funding of abortions. They are fueled such by groups as Right to Life, which dutifully tries to force its backward morals through rhetoric and sensationalist slide shows on people not yet well educated enough to know that freedom of choice is a trademark of a progressive society and that morals are a To the Hditor private affair. Bobbie Demme’s January 18 article on the Ri{ht to Lifers claim that doctors who perform abortions are murders; illogical enough, they term the woman who sanctions the Buffalo Psychiatric Center (BPC) left me very abortion not an accomplice, but a victim.

I’m sure a competition of this type would be well-attended and profitable 1 mean, what could be more arousing than the sight ot a well-hung man in a pair of clinging undershorts 9 good Name withheld upon Disturbing — — short on decor; and patients can be shocking, frightening and theraputically frustrating. All ot which may be very disturbing to a novice who spends little time in such a complex institution leading to a stereotypical view of insanity. Far worse, however, than shallow, redundant reporting, is the willingness to dismiss the patients as subhuman Clearly, the reporter missed the point politicians. Fears over the costs of federally funded abortions are misguided by age-old apprehensions about someone else getting something for nothing. In fact, the cost of Medicaid financed abortions is $40 to $50 million a year. Without this funding, the annual cost to taxpayers would be between $450 and $560 million for medical aid and public aid in the first year after birth. Yet there is danger in relying on an abortion as an after-the-fact birth control method, although an abortion should never be denied to a woman seeking one. Abortions are over three times as expensive as the birth control methods most widely used by women: the dlaphram, the tntra-Uterine Device (IUD) and the Pill (or the one used by men, the condom). No woman who has had an abortion is eager to have another one, unless she must. The federal government should spend more time and money to disseminate more information on the avialability of birth control methods for men and women, or should at least delegate the responsibility and money to pay for it to local organizations. As more people learn about birth control options and utilize them, fewer women will need abortions. But women must have the choice, and it must be paid for The Spectrum Vol. 28, No. 47 Monday, 23 January 1978 Editor-in-Chief - Brett Kline Managing Editor John H Reiss Managing Editor Jay Rosen Business Manager fill Fmkahtein Classified Advertising Manager Jerry Hodiqn V* • h If ■ ■ ■ .

V 'v’iF'V replies Hruce • ./ Naugh A exi by Jay Rosen Let me first deny all these absurd rumors that real reason they decided to build an amphitheater at the Amherst Campus and provide the place a “focal point" is that they read this column The religiously rumors are simply unfounded The real truth is that they read it every once in a while The page one story about the Mathematical Sciences Review Committee report should not just be glanced at It gives a very sobering account of the academic atmosphere here. Conversations I’ve had with faculty members generally support the committee’s opinion that "a sense of despair" haunts this University’s faculty It’s a side of this school that students rarely see Administrators, of course, royally deny that their kingdom lies in any worse rum than anyone else’s. And just as surely, their heads would be the ones to roll if the dismal image of the University sketched by the report is accurate What will probably happen regardless of how much kerosene The Spectrum pours on the issue is that the report will be dismissed as insignificant and things will go back to normal. Bureaucracy has a very efficient method for putting out its own fires and leaving very few ashes It usually is referred to as the fecal matter of the Bull. It just makes me wonder how much we’re all missing, in terms of academics, by attending this particular University. Think about it 1 do not mean that life as a student here can 't be enjoyable, it certainly can be. But read what this committee of very well respected academians says about the general state of things here and very serious questions should be raised in your mind. Phrases like “little sense of loyalty” and “rampant fueds” among departments really scare me. Are the skies here really that ominous? I certainly don’t know, but if there is a storm brewing, I’m not gonna be telling you to head for the beach. I happened to visit (gulp) Long Island over the vacation and was promptly treated to an ice storm which knocked out power all over the place People the - who knew I was from Buffalo came up in me and said, in a very sarcastic tone "Thanks for coming’ as if 1 brought the damn storm with me All the JAP s were prepared. though dug They their battery-powered blow driers out of the attic and life went on as normal. 'Long Island gels to you after a while though This might sound weird, but gazed up at the stars one night and I could have sworn they all had six I points Well, anyway. I’ve been kicking around the idea of writing a column on the subject of failure Of course, saying something successful about tailun is not going to be easy. It would also have to be written from the outside looking in. so I don’t know In case you might not know, it’s getting near to Student Association election time Which means that a lot of hacks start floating around this office borrowing cups ot sugar and things Little do they know that we’re giving them Sweer n law instead Many of them got very upset when 1 announced, sort of half-heartedly, that I was giving to publish a ten-best and worst looking hacks lift “I think it s a horrible idea," one highly rankfel official saivl “Which list am 1 on'” The truth there is no ten-best looking hack list, there is no “ten-best dressed nudists” list. So, you can stop ilahat worrying The University is doing its pari to ease the energy crisis. Not on'e commuter would dare drive his car to school and lose it in those lots The school is selling the cars its lots confiscate and using the money to purchase snow making machines so it can extend the thieving operation into the summer months In all seriousness, I think the school is doing an absolutely deplorable job with the parking lots here and it s about time somebody did nothing about it 1 was disappointed with the turn out at our staff meeting last Thursday. Those that came seemed enthusiastic enough but we genuinely need more people willing to engage in the most fascinating, rewarding experience of their life times It’s so difficult to get good help these days, you know Stop up sometime. �FEEDBACK Thanks Blue Bird?

In our historic role as the defenders of human freedom and of justice, we should not forget our own struggle for freedom and our own needs for justice vigor President Sadat’s willingness at long last to engage in face to face talks with the State of Israel is not an end, but a new beginning It does not mark the end of a period as much as it signifies the possible conclusion of that same period Nevertheless, many people appear to be languishing in the knowledge that something positive may be happening in the Middle hast Among those of us who are Zionists, the hope for peace, perhaps a little more real today than several months ago, ought to energize us. We should find in ourselves a new of the late sixties and early The Reporter story portrays the student radicals of the past as unthinking, belligerent conformists “Delia" we are told “is at opposite poles from the student leaders of a few years ago who were then fashionably hostile to University administrators, legislators, and anyone else who didn’t wear flowers in waist-length hair .” As one of those student leaders, I can assure you that I did not wear flowers in my hair and was not hostile to all (or even most) people who wore their hair short Hair, of course, was not the issue Reforming the elisits elements of the University, fighting racism, ending U S military interventionism these were the issues They were legitimate, serious issues when student activists raised them in the sixties, and, they remain central to all of us who are concerned with making Amenta a democratic society and a force for world peace. Unfortunately, Dennis Delia, and the Reporter writer exhibit vast about ignorance student radicalism “Dennis is a student of history. What did all that [the student radical’s) hostility ever get’’ he asks ‘If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that when there’s not a good working relationship between students and administrators, nobody wins There’s nothing students can gain without negotiation and In other words, student leaders can cooperation only be effective when they “play ball” with campus administrators. Actually, history - both on the local and national levels belies Mr. Delia’s anti-radical conclusion Traditionally, student militancy has been a key element (perhaps the most effective of all) in bringing progressive change to the American university. In the nineteenth century, student protests, often violent in nature, helped secularize the university by compelling college officials to terminate compulsory religious services Student militants also fought against the persecution of non conformist faculty members, helped bring about the end of both rote-learning and in loco parentis, and established the liberating elective course system More recent student radical activity further lessened the chains of academic traditionalism, innovative bringing programs to educational American colleges and universities. In Buffalo, this innovation is represented by our American, Black, Women’s and Puerto Rican Studies Programs, and by the Colleges. In sum, demonstrations and student militancy may be distasteful to the Reporter and Mr Delia, hut they are neither mindless nor ineffective Name withheld upon request To the Editor radicals seventies David Schiller ” - Condemn Chilean military To the Editor political parties having been banned, and without any civil rights, the Junta pretended to a fraudulent democratic status The dictatorship any did not allow nonconformity to be expressed through availablechannels.

Page nine �New system — concerning the matter, and has decided to keep a four credit tor four contact hour policy, according to Chairman Om P. Bahl “There are some courses in the department that offer three credits for three contact hours although most of our courses offer four credits for four hours of study,” Bahl said. “We want to maintain our four-four policy, and 1 don’t think DUE will object, but if there are any scheduling difficulties, we may have to go to the three credit-three hour policy We offer a large number of courses and we would like students to take as many as possible. The three credit system would force students to take more courses to fulfill their requirements but it is better to keep the policy flexible,” Bahl affirmed. According to Associate Professor of Communications, Charles Petrie, the Department of Communications has not yet conducted an official review. “Most of our upper-level courses offer four credits for four contact hours. The ruling will mainly affect the 100 level courses which give four credits for three hours,” he said. Chairman of the Psychology Department, Kenneth J. Levy, said that the department has conducted an informal review and is inclined to adopt the three credit-three hour policy. “Most of our courses give four credits for three hours of class time. The faculty is generally in favor of the three-three policy because it gives the student an opportunity for a broader education,” Levy said. Levy further stated that course substance has not changed since the time when the department offered three credits for courses “With the adoption of the four credit system, there has been an inflation of credit so that students have been able to take fewer courses to meet department requirements,” he claimed. Levy predicted that changes would be made within the department with the adoption of the three credit policy. “Requirements are now phrased in the number of courses rather than the number of credit hours which will probably remain untouched,” Levy said. The number Ten new publications have of courses offered by the department may therefore be increased. He been alloted money by Special also predicted that class size would increase slightly as students would be forced to schedule more classes to meet departmental requirements.

Many City owned buildings, including City Hall, the old City Court Building, and numerous schools, firehouses, and police stations, are heated with natural gas.

This work is concerned with the inscription of the subject into the text of film through semiotic indicators of the subiect's presence, a phenomenon that defines classical painting and literature as well as film. Accordingly, the system of classical representation in painting will be examined as well as the tradition of literary analysis of the spectator in the text. f For additional course information contact: Center for Media Study 310 Wende Hall/Main St. Campus Tel. 631-2426 Dr. J.

Levine placed emphasis on the issue of teenage preghancy, terming it an “epidemic.” More than one million young women between the ages of 15 and 19 became pregnant each year, she said. One-third of all legal abortions in this country are performed on teenagers and one-third of these are financed through Medicaid. According to Levine, a state ban on Medicaid funds would be “disastrous.” main activity of the Coalition for Freedom of Choice is informing the public of threats to abortion rights. An education intricate system of letter writing, telegram, and phone campaigns is used, to alert supporters and inform government officials. A “Crisis Alert” list is part of this activity, consisting of names of individuals who have pledged their support in writing letters when critical situations arise. Lobbying is also a function of this organization in Buffalo, Albany and Washington. The coalition offers a Speakers Bureau as well as public access to its library, which contains material on birth control, teenage sexuality, and the psychology of women A primary problem encountered by the Coalition is a false awareness of the status of the right of abortion. Many people have become complacent after the Supreme Court decision of 1973, thinking the battle was won. According to Levine, the Freedom of a Choice movement is supported by a majority of the population 1976 Knight-Ridder Newspaper Survey conducted in 21 American cities showed that 81 percent of the adults interviewed believed the decision of abortion should be between a woman and her physician and that the government should have nothing to do with it. The Right to Life Movement, although highly vocal and publicly active, actually expresses a minority opinion, Levine expressed. She stated that the “opposition force” is well-organized and better financed than her group, enabling a strong impression to be put forth. Levine also remarked that the single-mindedness of the Right to Life Committee, coupled with scare tactics and abrasive delivery, often influences legislators to heed this “vocal minority.” Explicit abortion slides and name calling, as well as sensationalized presentations were cited as examples of the Right to Lifers’ emotional methods.

If there’s a morale Morality The Erie County Right to Life Committee is part of the national Right to Life Movement. This organization was formed in 1967 on the basis of scientific opinion expressed at the First International problem at all in the faculty it’s a Conference on Abortion. According to the Movement, a majority of result of budget cuts rather than scientists concluded that human life begins at conception and thus the any lack of leadership,” he fetus should be considered a person. The Erie County Committee is endorsed by private contributions solicited from the community and is 100 percent volunteer. Sally Sincock, acting chairperson of the 141st Assembly District, stressed that the Committee is non-sectarian, although many of its supporters are Catholic. The philosophy behind the Right to Life Movement is more complex than most people believe. Sincock stated that the Committee is concerned with “respect for all life” and is becmong involved with issues affecting the handicapped and elderly, particularly euthanasia. The morality of abortion, however, is the basic concern of the life organization today. Right to Lifers believe that abortion is killing begins at concerption and the fetus should be treated with the “utmost regard and dignity.” Women who have abortions are victims, said Sincock. They do not comprehend the seriousness of their actions. However, physicians who perform abortions are “murderers” according to the movement because they are fully aware of the consequences of the act. Sincock said the primary function of the Right to Life Committee informing the public and government of the “realities” is education of abortion. She explained the format of the Right to Life presentations, placing emphasis on the use of slides. “You can talk abortion till you’re blue in the face,” she said, “but they never face what abortion really is.” The slides are needed to show the public the rapid development of the human fetus without the visual effect, the point is weakened, she felt. — — biggest, best, and hottest!

The two bills introduced into the legislature are strongly supported by the organization; much lobbying, direct contact and pressure is being waged with legislators on both state and local levels. Nationally, the Right to Life Committee endorses the proposed Human Life Amendment, which would insure due process and equal protection from “the moment of conception,” and forbid the government from depriving “any human being of life on account of illness, age, or incapacity.” A majority of the population is represented by the Right to Life Committee, said Sin cock. She stated that those who support free choice are not dealing with the facts of abortion and are not facing the issue. She believes that explicitly presenting the Committee’s view of abortion will “swing the middle of the road over.” The arguments over abortion may never be resolved. Both forces involved in the debate stand firm on their veiws and are hesitant to relinquish or change an opinion. Scientific data may one day answer some of these questions until that time, however, the only certainties that exist are within the minds of people.

At Potsdam, the Royals played a strong offensive game (they shot 79 percent in the first half), because a . . we played the kind of offensive game we need to running game.” She said that if Buffalo had played that kind of game at St. John Fisher, they would have done a lot better.

Reiss Managing Editor Like a malignant disease, this year’s ID cards have infected the student body again and will not be made available to students here until late February : or early March. It had been announced by the ID Card Committee on November 30 that the cards would be ready for distribution to students between January ,. 11 and 16. The new delay has been blamed on the “Albany Process” by Assistant Director of Admissions and REcords (A&R) Dick Canale. He explained that the time required to obtain the newly designed cards which will include signature and birthdate was stretched out beyond expectations. The cards will not.W delivered here for at least another month.

Student Association (SA) President Dennis Delia, who has been immersed in the ID controversies all year, was particularly annoyed by the postponement saying, “I was shocked. I’m completely dismayed. The first time you have a problem with the cards you’re enraged. I don’t even know how I’m supposed to feel now. It’s just inconceivable that it could happen again.” Director of Orientation Joe Krakowiak, who co-chaired the Committee, said he was disappointed with the new delay and lamented the further inconvenience (hat students would face. “As a member of the Committee,” Krakowiak said, “I’m surprised that such misinformation was forthcoming, and at the great difference in arrival time. It’s very frustrating. Canale explained that the reason he was able to virtually assure the Committee in November that the cards would be available in January was because he had no knowledge of the State law mandating that the contract go up for open bidding.

This Puritan attitude has had far reaching effects in our society not only in feelings toward abortion, but in anything remotely connected with sex.

S.A. Speakers Bureau proud The Record Co-op, threatened with permanently dosed doors over the years, is back in the news again, this time being issued a deadline to file financial records. New woes arise for Record Coop In order to continue selling records, The student Record Coop was advised to produce some of its own. Internal student problems and external pressures led Director of Student Activities James Gruber to issue a Friday deadline for the Record Coop to file financial records with his office. As of yesterday, the financial statements were supposed to have been completed and submitted to the Administration, according to Coop President Lenny Rollins. As originally established by University guidelines regulating the Coop while its lawsuit with Carl Cavage is in litigation, the Coop is required to submit financial statements each month reporting on sales and inventory levels. Since April of last year, the Coop has filed irregularly and infrequently. Gruber was also induced to establish a deadline because a tape distributor, Audiohaven, wrote a letter to University President Robert Ketter claiming the Coop has failed to meet financial obligations, and asking Ketter to take action. Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs Anthony Lorenzetti replied that the Record Coop is a student-run organization controlled by a private student corporation, Sub Board I Inc., and that it is legally responsible for its own financial matters. No treasurer to The Coop was unable to gather the proper information for filing financial statements because it hasn’t had a Treasurer since last April, according to Rollins, Student Association (SA) Treasurer Neil Seiden present JIM BOUTON CBS Broadcaster & Author of Ball Four Sunday, January 22, at 8:00 pm Fillmore Room Tickets are free at Squire Hall Ticket Office. said, “Disagreements between the Coop and myself led to delaying the process of choosing a new Coop Treasurer." Rollins explained that the $1300 in outstanding bills from Audiohaven “is actually approximately $400 because $900 has been paid.” He further stated, “He (Audiohaven) hasn’t shown us invoices for the remaining money he says we owe him.” Both Gruber and Lorenzetti emphasized that the Coop was allowed to continue its policy of nof submitting the required records because they “understand the troubles the organization was having.” Rollins explained that the Coop’s books were always accurate, but it didn’t have the personnel to file reports for the Administration. He added, “The letter mandating that the Coop file before this Friday had no bearing on the Coop’s completing and submitting its report. It was going to get done anyway. The endpoint of this procedure just so happens to be occurring at the same time that Dr. Gruber wrote the letter.” Lorenzetti said, “Perhaps we were too lenient, but hopefully the problem will resolve itself.” Rollins remarked, “They were trying to Daniel Parker support a student service rather than destroy one.” Comedy Workshop tonight The Buffalo Comedy Workshop will appear tonight at the Katharine Cornell Theatre at 8 p.m., under the auspices of the Office of Cultural Affairs.

The amended zoning ordinance would prohibit the opening of “dirty” bookstores, X-rated movie theaters and “exotic cabarets” within 1000 feet of any existing residential zone. The restricted distance was originally 500 feet. Opponents of the ordinance argued that to restrict smut business in one part of the-city implied that such businesses were allowed in other parts.

Stolarski, chairman of the Legislation Committee reminded those present that Buffalo had enacted an anti-obscenity law two years ago but that parts of it were struck down as unconstitutional The ordinance had required that shopkeepers selling Penthouse-type publications conceal the covers with a brown paper wrapping. The New ' York State anti-obscenity statute and remaining sections of the Buffalo ordinance follow guidelines set down by the U.S. Supreme Court in defining works as obscene when “taken as a whole” they appeal to “prurient interests,” sexual portray, sex in a “patently offensive way” and are lacking in “serious value.” Falzone of Morality in Media told The Spectwin that “We’re not fighting against the people.

Dean Harold Cohen 6f the School expects to sign it by sometime next week Dean Cohen envisions the district as “a place that’s alive” 18 hours day with housing “for young people and the young at hearty” shops, a restaurants, bookstores, craft kiosks, studios, all revolving around two existing theatres there, the Shea’s Buffalo, and the Studio Arena. Mayor Janies D. Griffin had supported the idea of a theatre district during the Mayoral campaign last fall. The study team, headed by Frank Palen, an attorney working in the School of Architecture and Environmental Design, and staffed by students of the school, will be responsible for: assessing the feasibilities of renovation and conversion of existing buildings; creating a plan for attracting both private and government financing; co-ordinating plans with the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority v .the Convention Center, adjoining neighborhoods and other interested parties; setting up a not-for-profit community development corporation which will carry the project through once the study i$ over. Dean Cohen stressed the need for attracting private investors to the district. “State and federal subsidies are not going to keep the city ‘ alive,,” he said While the idea is for the not-for-profit corporation, the Theatre District Association Inc., to manage the redevelopment process, Dean Cohen asserted that “We (SAED) are going to be around for a long time,” to offer long-range assistance to the project. Another key to the theatre district concept is the new NFTA light-rail rapid transit line slated to link the Main Street campus with downtown Buffalo. Current plans call for a “metro” station between the corner of Main and Tupper and the Shea’s Buffalo in the heart of the district. Construction of the transit line is expected to begin this year.

The experiment involved forcing 13 rhesus monkeys to smoke different amounts of marijuana for six months, $en farcing them to abstain for six months. At the end of that year, brain waves of the “heavy” and “moderate” smoking primates remained “disturbed,” according to Robert G. Heath, Chairman of tl|e Department ofPsychiatry and Neurology at Tulane. electron microscope An showed that the part of the brain which collects THC was still damaged. THC is the active moderate doses. Hie part of the brain affected by marijuana is the part which controls the emotions, said Heath. Among the experimental results was a widening of the synaptic gap between nerve cells, through which impulses travel. Cells also suffered a reduction in the amount of protein-producing endoplasmic reticulum. Apathetic generation These nerve cell changes, said Heath, could be responsible for a type of permanent apathy in pot smokers. Tests using monkeys are die best way to study marijuana effects because controlled tests with humans are not possible, ' Heath said. A generation of marijuana smokers, such as the one which presumably attends this University, is “a bit more apathetic,” Heath determined. He cited figures which show that as many as 70 per cent of an average city high school class smokes pot ingredient in cannabis which once a week. produces the “high.” Monkeys Nationwide Scholastic smoking half a joint a day were Aptitude Test (SAT) scores will not affected, reported Heath. remain low as long as students Heath revealed his findings to a smoke marijuana, added Gabriel panel of scientists who gathered G.

Ironic was that its potential demise should have been achievenment of two of its faculty members, both of whom won Rockefeller Awards and one of whom addition, received a visiting professorship at the Sorbonne in Paris €>W/- brought on by the outstanding By finding the money to reinstate the line, Bunn and Arts and Letters Provost George Levine are implicitly recognizing and supporting the vatue of Women's Studies to the entire University m lOSUPt The College offered approximately 25 undergraduate courses last semester, taught by faculty, members of the community, graduate students and, UHO) DC NOT UPOfO I/O kW ctuev in some cases, undergraduates. That members of the College could collect 1500 names on a petition and publicize its crisis so quickly during the last couple of weeks of the Fall semester is a credit to their own cohesiveness; of this Bunn must have been well aware. This does not imply that Bunn made his decision under any pressure, but it does state he knew whatever decision he did make would be announced to the public very quickly Vet the kuxc* WHY VOJAtf 1 my^-^[ ■■ fv.a ra) .. "victory" is but temporary, for Bunn's December decision to reinstate the line and fund it through Arts and Letters and American Studies stands until the end of next Fall semester, when assuredly the crisis will arise again. Women's Studies College should be allocated enough funds to retain three full time faculty members on a full time basis, not on year by year test runs. When a college is forced to consider the validity of its very being and of its academic mechanism, it cannot devote the time and energy necessary to insure the excellence of the content of its academic bill of goods, being too caught up in the process. Women's Studies College has well demonstrated its validity and should not be forced to do so again.

There is room for WIRC on this campus; WBFO, albeit an excellent radio station and a member of the National Public Radio network, does not often concern itself with campus events, and least of all with campus politics. WIRC could become a forum for good music of any and all types as well as a means of organizing students at this University, and another means of discovering what is happening here besides reading it in The No grades yet Spectrum. In addition. Sub Board might look into the possibility of providing additional funding to the station to make the installation of the phone wires on the Amherst Campus feasible. Not only would the station benefit, but so would Sub Board if it used the facilities properly. Not that this wouldn't occur without a bit of politicking between Sub Board and IRC, but. . .

These kids couldn't just be curiousity seekers they must have been real true blue Ramones fans allowing that heavy suburban wind to play ping-pong with their faces anxiously awaiting the doors to part. And (thankfully) one half hour earlier than they were supposed to. So the masses trickled ever so slightly thru the door, and I felt honored at getting carded with the rest of the bunch.

Marshall Tucker Band lead singer Doug Gray Not A / Pacino but willing and able to sing 'Take the highway' to the supermarket by Jay Rosen Managing Editor This will not be the typical concert review appearing in The Spectrum each Friday. For one thing. I'm writing it. For another, you'll be able to read it. And when it's all over, you'll still know what band performed and on what planet the concert was held. (Does it matter?; music ed.) The radio ads urged us to "Take the Highway" to the Niagara Falls Convention Center to hear the Marshall Tucker Band, fresh from their coronation as the new royal family of Southern Rock. Though they were handed the throne after the unfortunate abdication of Lynyrd Skynyrd, the six member troupe from Spartanburg, South Carolina finally broke as a headliner group with the release of their sixth album, Carolina Dreams. The band's new found regality, ten years in the making, was crowned by the AM success of the appealing single, "Heard it in a Love Song." Spinach, aisle four People had always spoken to in me horror about the Convention Center's acoustics and I found it very fashionable to refuse to attend a concert I couldn't afford on the "principle" that the Center's sound did not meet my auditory standards. Of course, I had never approached the place. In any event, With my complimentary tickets in hand, I breezed into the striking structure fuUy expecting to get my money's worth. Incidentally, it was New Year’s eve. Quite simply, the Convention Center looks like nothing -more than a giant Park Edge. It appeared that I was not the only one suffering from such supermarket delusions. Anyone unfortunate enough to have donned a white shirt was besieged with questions like, "Are these three for a dollar?" and "Can you tell me what aisle the Egg Nog would be on?" Fandango opened the show spirited, with a though unappreciated ten song set, followed by the country rock sound of Pure Prarie League, which coincidentally, is not the name of one of those new natural cereals. Anyway, the highlights of the band's performance were the tunes, "Aimee" and "Two Lane Highway" mainly because they were the only two songs I recognized, not being a franchise holder in the League. With four guitarists up front and capable vocals. Pure Prarie League came off quite well and was awarded with a rousing ovation. By this time, it looked like Saturday morning in Park Edge, with most of the seats below the ozone layer already occupied. The curious seating arrangement included hundreds of rows of three seats presumably so that an each entire Love Triangle could ring in the New Year together before heading off for a pre-dawn menage a trois or something. Toy and Tommy Caldwell, Georgia McCorkle and Jerry Eubank Fresh from their coronation as royal family of Southern Rock. and gave the Marshall Tucker Band a warm welcome. "Fly Like an Eagle" opened the show, as I had predicted earlier in the day to no one other than myself, and vocalist Doug Gray showed that though he was certainly no dead ringer for Al Pacino, he was quite willing and even more able to sing. The second song opened with the dramatic parting of a curtain behind the band to unveil a mural featuring a speeding stagecoach and loads of horses complete with manes flowing and all that other solid western imagery. A little corny, but nonetheless, a nice touch. A little Welk please The Head Honcho of the Marshall Tucker Band is one Toy Caldwell, lead guitarist and creator of most of the band's material. This is Toy's show and most of the songs feature his long solos. Meanwhile, the band moves "Searching for a through Rainbow" before breaking in to the familiar "Heard it in a Love Song". Flutist Jerry Eubank steals the show from Toy for this one and Gray is in fine, vinyl-matching form. "We're having some Equipment problems," Toy Calwell steps out at 11:45 to say, "A monitor blew up.

The breaks were just as dynamic, Johnny bounded up front to peel-off some chordage and Joey leaned back planting his mike stand like he was desperately trying tu break a wild 440 on a greased slick. At times I thought he'd actually vault into the Highway from page one Toy Caldwell’s Carolina version of "Auld Land Syne". Suddenly, with plenty of warning, a couple hundred balloons are released from above and everywhere people are kissing each other and the stock boys have invaded the produce center. I swear I see Guy Lombardo's ghost floating around in a cowboy hat saying,"A one arid a two." ‘Take the Highway" snaps us back to the real world, all of a sudden answering to the name 1978, and the rousing cheers are the loudest of the evening which was obviously still young since Caldwell took the opportunity to worn us, "We're liable to play all night for you!"

It's the highlight of the evening as Toy The Man takes over the lead vocal. The piano in the song was pointedly missing, however. The crowd squeezes two more encores out of the band, one of' which caught us with our snow gear on, and the Marshall Tucker Band rides off, leaving my favorite "Fire on the Mountain" unplayed.

Pottery—Metals—Enamel—Weaving—Photography —Woodworking—Batik—-Macrame—Stained Glass �1977 American cinema New stars ineligible Realistic role models for women still lacking in films for acting awards by Gerald Starntky Arts Editor It is difficult to evaluate the past year in movies without mentioning the loss during the year of some of the industry's greatest performers. With the deaths of Joan Crawford, Groucho Marx and Bing Crosby, it became increasingly apparent during 1977 that the old guard in Hollywood the people whose comic and dramatic talents so often helped us laugh and cry at otir own frail humanity was giving way to the new. When Charlie Chaplin died on Christmas day, it brought to mind once again the sad realization that a golden age in film history had Indeed come to a tarnished end. - - New values No one needed to be told this, of course, especially considering that all of the above performers due to sickness of advancing age were inactive in films at the time of their deaths. And one needed merely to go to the theaters to see that the change had dawned. Alan Trustman, lawyer turned screenwriter, points out in his article "Who Killed Hollywood?" in this month's Atlantic Monthly that the government killed the film industry. Whether you believe it was murdered, or it was just aging, one thing was apparent: there were, and are, less movies being made. "Where there used to be 300 to 400 movies a year," Trustman writes, "there are now 150 to 200 movies a — — year What is happening as a result is that more and more people are going to the same movies. And the movies they are going to, as their popularity increases, are becoming more than just big movies: they are becoming events. They are becoming more than cultural experiences: they are becoming culture itself. The irony is not lost on the fact that the passing of so many of the old stars should come in the same year that these events should come fully into their own. Interesting subjects What I find most curious about this transition from the old to the new Hollywood movie is that the old stars are being replaced not with new ones, at least not with human ones. Take a look at the largest-grossing movies of the past few years. What have people gone to see in them? They have gone to see the shark inlaws, the devil jn The Exorcist, the robots in Star Wars, the spaceships in Close Encounters Of The Third Kind, and the ape in Dino DeLaurentis' remake of King Kong. Human beings, it seems, are no longer the most interesting subject matter for a film. The $2 million arm Which is not surprising. As Americans troup to increasingly fewer films, they demand greater satisfaction from each. My impression is that people thesp day’s are going to the movies less to see good acting than they are tolje ovej-whelmed by technical razzle-dazzle. They want to see what $2 million worth of mechanical ape looks like, or how many UFOs $18 million can buy. And as the number of films on the market shrinks, the number of pre-release articles about the films —continued on page 14— by Tom Dooney Spectrum Staff Writer 1977 American cinema In rediscovered one of Hollywood's most tried and true genres women as a film subject. With the dust brushed off and tailored to suit the sensibilities of today's audiences, films about women scored well at both the box office and the cocktail parties. The talk, not to mention the money, will continue to flow up to and quite a while after the Academy Award presentations in April. The major movie producers and distributors also picked 1977 as the year to capitalize on the expanding consciousness of the American public, particularly the female film-going public. A major cinematic and — — — sociological Jane Fonda as Lillian Heilman and Vanessa Redgrave as Julia Not a pedestal high enough to support her abounding nobility breakthrough have appeared on the horizon if the motion picture industry distributed films of a feminist prospective to the general public. Instead, we were awarded a rehash of the women's films of the forties. Light drama like Stella Dallas Victory and Dark were characterized by their stars; one or two or several female movie greats like Barbara Stanwyck, Lana Turner, Bette Davis or Katherine Hepburn. The plots concerned a woman faced with the roughest of odds and coming off with dignity. Dignity is a key word in describing women's films. Dignity in the face of death, dignity though misunderstood, dignity going into battle. Dignity and designer wardrobes carried these heroines through lost love, lost kingdoms and lost lives.

Julia and The Turning (both recent Point Buffalo openers; at the Holiday 6 and the Thruway Cinema, Mall respectively) deal with two pairs of women, the nature of two different friendships and how four separate women face the future. Two others, Looking for Mr. Goodbar and / Never Promised You a Rose Garden, have been around for a few months but are worthy of mention since they deal with strong female leads dealing with madness in the latter, and the lunacy of the modern world, in the former. Major stars, the likes of Jane Fonda, Lynn Redgrave, Anne Bancroft, Shirley MacLaine and the new giant- of the film world, Oiane Keaton appeared in the first three shows and Kathleen Quinlan, as the protagonist of Rose Garden, exuded superior acting ability. These six women, as likely a list for Best Actress nominees as any, alt display that raised-chin-despite-it-all same dignity that their cinematic sisters sported (along with lots of nice clothes, for those who care).

Rose Garden, currently begin featured at several second run theaters, features some very good acting. previously Quinlan, Kathleen mentioned, is ably supported by Bibi Anderson, Silvia Sydney, Signe Hasso and Susan Tyrell. In all, a good year for women, if you're an actress. Choice roles, decent pay. Pretty fair if you are sitting in the audience. Some okay movies. However, any feminist still truly longs to see the movie that is not only unoffensive but will also have role models, men and women, that will have us all jumping out of our red plush seats, spilling our popcorn on theater floors across the country. Things look optimistic if one looks at this year's films as a Stepping stone to better films, enlightened sensibilities.

One can hardly blame the newspapers for this there is not much else for them to print. So what happens? We are deluged by repeated stories in advance of the films themselves about their marvelous special-effects: about the difficulties in making the mecahnical shark look realistic, or making the $2 million arm in King Kong move with a person in it; about the advances in film depiction of — outer space. Paying for it It doesn't stop there. Always, we are told the costs. $18 million for Close Encounters. Over $20 million for King Kong. It has gotten to the point where studios are flaunting the amounts they spend on their films, and many people are no doubt attracted to the overblown financial and technical extravagance. Through a reversal of the old saying which Hollywood has fortunately been able to pull off, people are paying for what they get. There is, according to Mr. Trustman, one man to thank for this unfortunate situation. Frank Vabtans, at one time the head of Paramount Studios and now a producer, is the man who brought us Love-Story. As Trustman (Mitt it,.

It became impossible to avoid the impending acceptance of new wave. The Ramones made the Billboard charts with "Sheena Is A Punk Rocker", and within two weeks, both Elvis Costello First, and the Sex Pistols were in Time Magazine. The reason some new wave choices appear more than others does not indicate a deviation in quality, but rather shows New Wave regulated by the indicator of media pressure. Jazz showed itself being on an incredible upswing, especially in the college audience. Both Anthony Braxton and Flora Purim, Downbeat poll champs, appeared in Buffalo. Local heroes Spyrp Gyra put out a record. Buffalo showed itself a pioneer in this realm. We lost Elvis in 77, but rock and roll began once again leaning toward vibrancy and freshness, throwing off itself the heavy yoke of production. Rock seemed to be getting its shot in the arm.

People get yelled at unless they're quiet and reverent with your music. Nobody's happy. Nobody's dancing. Why should we stay? Could we take much more of it much longer? I don't care if you don't come with two back up singers and an opening act. Come with an acoustic guitar. There was energy in that, even if slow burning energy. The Zodiacs may not mind, Jackson, but I really do. I really liked you for a long time, even before Circus had a page on you in '72 (that really was a surprise). You wait so long to give us new music, and when it comes, the temptation to admire it without examination is great. But alas, Jackson, temptation it is and we puritans are taught to ignore that evil apple. You tell us you’re running on empty. I quess I have no choice but to agree.

Collins' voice bears of the album. As to be expected, the focus of Seconds Out is shocking resemblance to Gabriel's and it is for this reason that on Second Out Collins chooses to give on the later stuff (Selling England By The Pound, the audience renditions of past Genesis standards via Trick of the Tail) while there exists a surprising cabaret style crooning; absence of material from the latest endeavor Wind and Wuthering (only “Afterglow"). Don't even And the light (light... light. .light.. .light) suggest "Watcher of the Skies".

Transit Road You Light Up My Life — Original Film Score (Arista) I like to think of Debby Boone's "You Light Up My Life" as an post-extremist reaction to punk rock, the serenade of a middle American sweeetheart who absorbed all of this country's dreamlike inspirations and artificial desires for wealth and acknowledgement and will not give them up. For those that seek similar and already have her skillfully lobotic record on Warner Brothers, I promt you to the original film score of the same title. has Edgar Winter, White Trash Recycled (Blue Sky) Edgar Winter has just released a new album, White Trash Recycled, whidh is all actually that same funky get down boogie music commonly referred to as Disco. Disgusting is more like it. The ablum leads me to think that this is a take-off of the Average White Band. You know, white guys that try to sound black and come out sounding grey. White Trash Recycled is better off at a recycling plant. Hopefully, then, the music of Edgar's original White Trash band will again resurface. Winter lacks one major quality create decent lyrical arrangements: the ability to "If- you've got some leftover love you've been saving. Don't throw it away cause I've got a cravin' / know that you're all alone But soon I'm gonna be Right back home So keep It warm forme Cause I'm bringin' you a brand new recipe." , Lovers of AM radio will find this LP a veritable Roman orgy, good enough for any Polanski, as it contains count 'em three different versions of this year's homogenous masterpiece: one which opens the disc, another that closes it, and an instrumental generously situated in between for those daring enough to chance the schmaltz stuck in as filler. By the way the title track is sung by Kasey Cisyk (?) and the total time value of the three versions rings up at an incredible 10:45! Can you believe it? -DP — — What is this do goody good bullshit? It stinks. If I wanted to hear lyrics like that, I would still be listening to the Partridge Family. The Patridge Family were better! Winter is trying to be disco great, but instead may wind up a disco duck. When the cut titled Shake It Off", appears you almost expect the repetitive one-liner "Mama shake your ass off . Winter s talent should be confined to a wheel-chair or at least a kindergarten. The music taken as a separate entity is not quite as bad. It is a good thing Winter receives help from his longtime friend Larry LaCroix. LaCroix's work on the sax is very good. The music is jazzy. Far from the Wayne Shorter and Tom Scott type jazz, but the music was played well. That's all. It sounds like any other disco album should. Enough words like love and babe and na, na.na's to last a lifetime. The "best" cut is "Puttin' It Back". Although it is so reminiscent of Chicago's "Together Again", that Robert Lamm should get royalties. "White Trash Recycled" is a very good clue to the contents within the album sleeve. Though not white, recycled and certainly trash. -fi. Steven Korotkin �RECORDS different sounds. They are quite often mistaken for using synthesizers, but in fact, there are none. The sounds produced are their own, with the help of assorted engineering techniques produced by Mike Stone. The cast is Queen, the song is "It's Late" written in three scenes (or verses). Queen, News of the World (Eiektra) When you hear: stomp stomp clap/ stomp stomp clap, it is not the stormtroopers marching in. Actually, it is Queen rythmically rampaging throughout the first cut of the album We Will Rock You. This leads into probaoiy the best cut on the album "We Are The Champions," composed by the lead singer Freddie Mercury. Here he once again displays his dynamic vocal abilities, as he sing;: — You're staring at me With suspicion in your eye You say what game are you playing? What's this that you're saying know that can give no reply If I take you tonite Is it making my life a He Oh you make me wonder— Did I live my life alright I've taken my bows And my curtain callsYou brought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it— thank yo allBut it's been no bed of roses No pleasure cruise consider it a challenge before the whole human race And I ain't gonna lose — / / / / Freddie Mercury, generally a As it then goes into the chorus capable It’s late It's late singer Vet in operatics and harmonies throughout this album, he expresses his manifold vocal abilities in many ways. While accompanying himself on piano, he sings a torchy blues number called "Melancholy Blues." In addition, he masterfully sings "Who Needs You," calypso style.

With simply four instruments, they produce a blending of Eddie - Too late specilizes but it's time to set me free but there's no way it has to be so let the fire take our bodies in the — - night so let the waters take our guilt in the So late tide It's late . - , It's all too late On the whole, this album runs the group's past.

The boy wants to acquire high falootin' rock superstar. On the the words to one song which clearly sums up Eddie's aim: Dexter Gordon, Sophisticated Giant (Columbia) Early in the last decade, a brass phoenix from bop rose in Denmark. “I was given respect as an artist and no one asked how much money I made or what car I drove." The man made Copenhagen his home and Europe his artistic domain. The fall of 1976 beckoned Dexter Gordon back to the United States Audiences welcomed the man with enthusiasm and respect Dexter's appreciation was reflected via vinyl, an inspiring Homecoming Featured along with Dexter at the live Village Vanguard date, was trumpeter Woody Shaw. While Dexter's playing was inspired, Shaw's was energetically ablaze. His creativity merits far more recognition and exposure than it has received On Sophisticated Giant, recorded in June 1977, Dexter and Woody sound together again. The context and mood however, are significantly different from those of the freer Homecoming. The "Expanded setting" on the "Special studio project" features an eleven piece ensemble. The arrangements were handled by trombonist Slide Hampton who is also heard inside and outside the ensemble. Other soloists include vibist Bobby Hutcherson, trumpeter Benny Baily, and members of the rhythm section, composed of George CaPles, whose acoustic pianistics are a pleasant change from his recent elctric works, bassist Rufus Reid who is perhaps best known by his oooks, The Evolving Bassist and drummer Victor Lewis, deservingly brought to Dexters attention by Woody Shaw Rounding out the ensemble are trombonist Wayne Andre, flutist/piccoloBsoprano man Frank Wess, and tuba/baritonist Howard Johnson My mother would jump and shout. And say what's all that noise about. And quickly turn the dial back to her station But knew right then, I'd sneak that dial right back again, knew right then was gonna make it. / Seger states that we are Need I say more? all "Chuck's children" and it's good to hear solid proof of getting into the uncomplicated vintage boogie of yesteryear. Eddie cart scream with best of the Stephen Tylers and to boggle your mind is to take away from the neccessary simplicity. The closest person I can compare Eddie Money's attitude with is Rick Derringer. You've got four-minute doses of frenetic rock and roll, compact guitar riffs surrounding lyrics of dever, short rhymes. Eddie falls in and out of love, separated only by the vinyl in between each song. So, he leads an up and down life. He doesn't care, in the true spirit of a rocker, he moves onto the next available victim. The power behind Eddie's raunchy ditties is Jimmy Lyon, the one who handles the guitars. He is Eddie's right-hand man, twisting insane solos over the moving chords. On a catchy number like "Jealousys," Lyon is quite impressive in his handling of the rhythms. He almost steals the show away from him in a larger public view. A credit to the production of Bruce Botnick is the mix-down of the bass. The rhythm guitar is White the session is highly produced, the music is sincere. For Dexter "Kind of a dream band, in fact, it is Hamptons charts are smooth, ignoring the ragged world of reality. Dreaming, | Accordingly, Dexter is the featured soloist on "Laura", the opening track. Light breezes from Wess and Cables breathe life into his tenor sail. His ensemblic ship searches out Eden Appropriately enough, the ensemblee's mam show of life is heard on Shaw's "Moontrane" {the allusion the roiling and serenity of the departed master). Dexter's most energic words of the date are spoken here Shaw's forillance shines out and above. The sessions fire is his Bobby Hutcherson's soto spots appear on "Red Top" and Dexter s' jp-tempo "Fried-Bananas’ The latter with its deep roots and faster oace, provides an excellent showcase tor Hutcherson's happy percussive song. The laughing trombone of Slide Hampton also highlights Fried Bananas George Cable's shimmering reflection brings the late Bud Powell to mind with his contemplation of the pretty "You’re Blase". Antonio Carlos Jobim's classic "How Insensitive" provides for final statements by Dexter and Shaw. The latter's sensitive emotionalism is a pleasure. The former abandons his tenor for serene aired soprano. If Sophisticated Giant is a serene dream of Dexter Gordons, reawakening is anxiously awaited. Peaceful float to energetic flight. As for Woody Shaw, the beyond is tangible. His flight is true. -Michael Nord ‘furow / / FRIENDS OF CAC 8 & 10 pm present at I ft 1 JIMMY CLIFF] . .

The old recordings of the '50's had this sound quality too, for it is immediate enticement to the dancing senses. Even Eddie's handling of Smokey Robinson's "You've Really Got a Hold on Me" is played with a heart. If there's any word to describe the feeling behind this music, it is "sincere."

Campbell Spectrum Staff Writer Summer jobs abound Conference Theater �Women’s Studies. .T"'”"" “a group of us at WSC that the College serves the entire determined University since many students other than those involved directly* in American Studies (which Oar row explained, concentrates primarily on women’s studies) partake course In acknowledging this the offerings.” in assumption, Bunn stated, “It is clear that women’s studies is more specialized within Arts and Letters, but the Women’s College does indeed $erve the entire University. In fact, the basic relation between WSC and Arts and Letters raises it to the University level.” Despite his implied support of WSC, Bunn was unable to accommodate it as of the initial meeting. He stated, “My response was that I didn’t have any funds in my office immediately available.” Darrow stated that it was decided that the issue should be publicized contingent on Bunn’s reply. Accordingly, the last two weeks of school before Christmas vacation were devoted to acquiring 1500 petition signatures and informing students of the impending crisis. Because of what Darrow called “overwhelming and diverse concern,” including the passage of resolutions by SASU and the Student Association Senate in support of WSC, the second December meeting was arranged with Bunn at which an agreement was reached. When questioned as to why the funds were appropriated as of the second meeting, Bunn explained, “After the initial meeting I met with Provost Levine. We had to assure the Women’s Studies’ program of the possibility of its continuing to operate. We. continued to take soundings of the situation until a development within Arts and Letters enabled Levine to free funds. Thus, we were able to assure Women’s Studies and the College that the two full-time faculty lines could be replaced with appropriate substitutes.” Tremendous pressure It was stressed by students, faculty and officials of WSC that even with three faculty lines there is tremendous pressure upon the instructors. WSC consists of undergraduate offerings for a BA in American Studies (the college itself offers no degree program) and an MA in American Studies with concentrated emphasis on women’s studies. To maintain the program, the three full-time faculty members have additional responsibilities to their normal teaching load which varies according to course offerings and the number of students. A faculty member must be a graduate advisor, supervise the 21S collective which directs the introductory course (and averages 150 students), or teach two upper level courses. These extra loads are fulfilled on a rotating basis among the teachers. WSC has enthusiastic plans for its future. Dubois’ replacement, who will teach until the fall semester, is Ana Maria Hidalgo, a professor of Puerto Rican Studies who previously taught at the University of Chile in Santiago. She has also worked in the WSC program here before, teaching a course entitled “Latin Women” which will again be offered. In addition, Hidalgo will co-teach an art studio course drawing from past experience with textile design in Chile. Darrow commented, “The new faculty member is an asset to WSC. It’s important to try to involve more Third World Women in the schedule. If you are graduating or terminating this semester, please come into the Office of Student Accounts, Hayes A, or call 831-4735 for an exit interview appointment. Transcripts will be withheld for students who do not comply. WSC also plans to co-sponsor an “International Women’s Day” on the campus and present movies about women and the movement every Tuesday at 8 pm. on the Amherst Campus in Spaulding Quad, Room 376. The latter program will begin on January 24 and will have no admission fee Position paper The college is also establishing a center at Amherst offering tentative programs such as a Rape Workshop, Health and Healing, Birth Control, Consciousness Raising Groups, Auto Mechanics and Self-Defense. New courses studying rape. Women and Alcohol and Third World Women will also be offered. Darrow stated that WSC’s attempts to inform the public were accepted well, and future developments will continually be announced. Within the next two weeks the college will publish a position paper to let people know the importance of issues presently being discussed, which will be available at 108 Winspear Street. WSC would like to encourage other groups to use the center and welcomes all interested people. Since its establishment in 1971, WSC has grown to national acclaim. It is the largest women’s studies unit at any school in the country and has served as a model for similar programs at SUNY at Albany, the University of Pennsylvania and Syracuse University. Additionally, members of the College have contributed to the development of the National Women’s Studies Association, founded in January of 1977, and have served as hosts for the most recent meeting of the Chancellor’s Advisory Committee for Women’s Studies. Proud of WSC’s growth and achievement its members look enthusiastically to the future.

Question: What can ripped off by / do if I feel that I've been an automobile repair shop ? Answer; You need not accept poor or overly expensive work done on a car. Out of town students, particularly, are often ripped off because they do not know which garages are reliable and/or what to do if they have been cheated. Suppose your car breaks down the day after you get it back from a two hundred dollar repair job. The New York State Repair Shop Act of 197S was passed to “protect Business frat meets Delta Sigma Pi, the professional business fraternity at SUNY at Buffalo, starts off this semester’s activities Saturday, January 21, featuring three hours of activities highlighted by a speaker, Anthony Diina, discussing “New Trends in Banking.” Lunch will follow. All interested persons are urged to attend. consumers from dishonest, deceptive, and fraudulent' practices.” Several consumer rights are guaranteed as a result. First, every customer is entitled to a written estimate upon request. You cannot be charged more than the estimate unless you give your permission. Also, the repair shop cannot perform any services not authorized by you. In addition, the law demands that a detailed invoice stating work done, parts supplied, and guarantees, if any, must be presented to you. If replacement parts are not new, the shop must state their actual condition in writing. You also must be informed if the job is- subcontracted to a second shop, in which case the first shop would still be held responsible for the quality of service provided. In short, the Automobile Repair Act protects the consumer from overcharging, poor workmanship, faulty diagnosis, failure to remedy product defects, and failure to make repairs covered by a warranty. If you feel that you have been treated unfairly, first go back to the service station and try to solve the problem youself. If this approach fails, you can submit a written complaint to: Division of Vehicle Safety, New York State Dept, of Motor Vehicles, Empire State Plaza, Albany, N Y. 12228. You can also call Albany (518) 474-8943. Try to include as much information as possible to justify your complaint. To make it easy on yourself, use the Repair Shop Complaint Form VS-35 which may be picked up at local Motor Vehicle issuing offices. The local office is downtown in the Ellicott Square Building at 295 Main Street. If you would like the form mailed to you call 842-4334, or come up to Legal Services and pick one up.

Coach Leo Richardson - described his cagers’ play against Niagara Wednesday evening as impatient, awful and discouraging after the Purple Eagles defeated the Bulls 90-80 in the Niagara Falls Convention Center. The game was the second of a Big Four doubleheader. The game was much more one sided than the score indicated, as the Purple Eagles dominated Buffalo in the first half. With a patient offense, and the ability to control the boards, Niagara took a commanding 48-26 halftime lead. Niagara was led by the superb play of freshman forward Garry Jordan. Jordan led all scorers at the half with 12 points, and he also pulled down five rebounds. As usual, UB shot poorly, hitting.an anemic 26 percent in the first period. Buffalo showed no offensive organization with Larry Jones and Ed Johnson taking shots no closer than half court. As Niagara sagged on center Sam Pellom, the remainder of the offense showed its lack of poise and began taking _goor shots. “We were very impatient on offense,” stated Richardson. “Our quarterback, Rodney McDaniel, didn’t have enough patience to run the {days through, so I had no choice but to benchhim.” The Bulls had one bright spot in the first half as Sam Pellom continued to be the backbone of the Buffalo squad. Pellom grabbed nine rebounds, scored seven points and seemed to be the only Bull to play defense. For the game, Mlom totalled 18 rebounds, 13 points, and six blocked shots, keeping alive his hopes Jo be drafted by a pro team. Buffalo played fairly well in the opening minutes, and trailed by only 16-14 with 13:44 remaining in the half. But Niagara then ran off 14 unanswered points, to build a commanding 22 point lead. Down by a bundle at the half, Buffalo never recovered. Dan Raskin, the Niagara head mentor, said, “We could have scored at will in the period. We controlled the boards and capitalized on their disorganization.” Raskin said his team started sluggishly, but came back to play its style of basketball. Thv second half proved to be more competitive, as the Bulls showed more organization on both offense and defense. “We finally looked like a team out there in the final period,” said Richardson. Behind the improved shooting of both Larry Jones and Ed Johnson, who scored 16 and 14 points respectively in the second half. UB began to pick away at the Purple Eagle bulge. Buffalo scored three consecutive buckets to cut the lead to eight, with one minute remaining. But, the Bull rally proved to be too little too late. Richardson was pleased with the play of two reserve freshmen. Both Bruce Boneparte and Mike Mosley, played well enough in the UB rally for Richardson to insert them in the starting lineup. Pellom, Jones and Johnson will round out the revised starting five. In the first game of the Big Four doobleheader, Canisius easily defeated Buffalo State by a score of 81—68. It appears that a good battle may be in store between UB and Buffalo State, in the final game of the season to escape the Big Four cellar. The Bulls will have their work cut out for themselves tonight, as they’ll face Long Island University in Clark Hall at 8 p.m. • BulkpostOT win Hockey The hockey Bulls won an exciting game in overtime on Tuesday against Brock University by a score of 3-2.

After a ten day rest, the Bulls traveled to Pennsylvania for the Wilkes Open Tournament where they met some of the top wrestlers of the nation. Some of the wrestlers there came from tough Eastern schools while ex-Olympians and non-academic wrestling clubs also entered the competition. The highly competitive Midlands Invitational was held on the same day as the Wilkes Open, but the Bulls chose the Wilkes Open because only a few Bulls were invited to the Midlands tournament. Although the Bulls hoofed a good fight, only two of their wrestlers placed. Sophomore Tom Jacoutot at 118 pounds finished fourth and senior Kirk Anderson at 158 pounds ranked third. Hadsell breaks record Returning to Buffalo January 2, the UB squad sharpened their horns with double session practices. On January 7, they traveled to Pittsburgh for their biggest win of the season. “158 pounds on up did exceptional,” stated coach Ed Michael. With the team down 18-2, Anderson, Bruce Hadsell (167), Dave Mitchell (177), Jeff Wheeler (190) and heavy weight Paul Curka donated five pins to achieve the 32-18 accomplishment, which was only their second win ever in the Eastern Wrestling League. Hadsell also set a new UB record with 40 career wins. His over-all career record now stands at 41-16-3. One week later the Bulls brushed away the Colgate Red Raiders with a surprising 44-0 win. Lacking a 150 pound entry, Colgate began the match six points behind. Then the Raiders’ 134pound senior Rick Henniger hurt his knee late in the first period. The default added six more points to the already impressive 12-0 lead. Lack of enthusiasm Coach Michael claimed the easy win was due to Colgate’s lack of enthusiasm. “Going into a match giving up six points initially, then having another teammate hurt his knee for a forfeit isn’t good Tor morale,” he explained. Co-captain Anderson had his own thoughts “They were scared They knew we were tough guys.” The Buffalo squad enters the spring semester with a 5-1 recqrd The Bulls are now ranked second in the state by the New York S(ate Wrestling Association, behind Syracuse University. Buffalo will wrestle the Orangemen on January 28 in Clark Hall at 1 pm. Tomorrow the Bulls will be home against Binghamton. “Our boys are really going to have to wrestle,” said Michael, but he is optimistic The match will begin at 2 p.m. at Clark Hall . • f �CLASSIFIED TECHNICS SL-20-turntable, original almost n«w, $85.

Carey’s proposed budget for the 1978-79 fiscal year, released yesterday, falls approximately $5 million short of SUNY at Buffalo’s request for an additional S6 million in operating expenses. The SUNY system received less than 50 percent of its request for an additional $90.2 million in operating expenses. Of the $43.8 million requested for increases in fixed costs, $42.7 million was received. SUNY at Stony Brook was awarded approximately $17 million to complete the staffing of its new hospital. The budget still must go to the State Legislature for evaluation where there is expected to be a heated battle over funding for education. Anything the Legislature adds, the Governor can veto line-by-line. Carey has no say in additional Cuts imposed by the Legislature. The Legislature is not expected to adopt a final budget until mid to late March. The effects of the $lashes have yet to be gauged, according to Assistant to the President Ronald Stein. However, University Comptroller William Baumer said, “Given the pressure, we didn’t fair as poorly as we might have Some things we requested and didn’t get are going to create some major problems.” Many problems Vice President for Finance and Management Edward Doty said, “The lack of an increase in busing money sticks out like a sorythumb as a major problem.” Student Association of the State Univesrity (SASU) Director of Communications Sue Grossman suggested that Equal Opportunity Program (EOF) students were going to suffer severely from an additional proposed cut of S60 per student. She also said the health fee was not repealed. “Both of these, Grossman added, “were SUMY and SASU priorities.” Doty explained that he was not surprised that the proposed budget has “elements of austerity in it.” He added that this University will receive “nothing in the way of new funding or strengthening of existing programs.” Another major cut is the allocation of funds to only S6 new staff instead of the requested 82 positions. Deletions from the budget include an $876,000 cut in rentals, and a $827,000 cut in moving expenditures. Stein said “The Administration has not had time enough to evaluate the proposed budget and see how programs were Grossman commented, ‘They’re definitely putting the axe on.” -Danny Parker BELLY DANCING BY MAREESA Sunday, Jan. 22nd at 7:00 pm Survey fraud j Sweet Home United Methodist Church ? \ \ A man using the name Frank Simon has been calling University area residents purporting to be conducting a survey for The Spectrum.

Excusing yourself from *The Spectrum’ Tha Undergraduate Library, houtad for yaan in “tamporary" quartan in Oiafandorf Annax, hat Put off until spring UGL Amherst shift delayed According to Construction Associate of Facilities Planning, Swane Moure, the move was originally postponed until the Spring break because “the magnitude of the renovations needed to by Jay Roam Managing Editor Sit down, grab a cup of coffee and prepare younelf for being seduced into writing for The Spectrum. Okay, now apologize to the person next to you for staining his corduroys with hot coffee and, in between wheezes and gags,read carefully. The earth may never be the same. The following is a brief rundown of the world’s top excuses for not joining The Spectrum. Please read them all and pay particular attention to your favorite. Me? Write for The Spectrum I can 7 even write. ? This is a very popular excuae. You wouldn’t believe how much 1 have heard this one, or maybe you would since you’ve probably uaed it a number of times. X, Well, didn’t your grandmother ever tell you, “There is no such thing as can’t?” Neither did mine, but if you’re mart enough, or deranged enough, to be admitted to this institution, then you should have the intellectual faculties to be of .some miniscule use to us. And besides, how do you know until you try? Now don't answer with, “How do 1 know what it’s like to jump over Niagara Falls tint! I try?” because 1 invented that one and besides, everyone knows you can’t learn a new dog old tridis. 5 J ;• Look, if you really can’t write, we’ll let you know in any number of slick, subtle, tactful ways. Using your story to light a joint, tor example. I'm sure they have enough writers. A very common excuse, but not easily defended. If this one were true, why would 1 waste this paper trying to recruit people we didn’t need? We would much rather use this space for advertisements and rake in some more bucks. The truth is that desperate editors have been known to call people at random out of die student directory demanding to know why thenstories are not in by the deadline. The unassuming student is not fooled by this, although some will apologize profusely to die unknown editor. Needless to say, this is not the best way to round up new talent. You. have no idea how many times we’ve looked up the name “Woodstein” hoping that just maybe... If I could gat serioUS here for a moment 1 would, but since I can’t. I’ll tell you that this paper, prolific as it is, leoUM be so much more protiflker with the addition of a few eager beavers, not to ! mention a collide of enthusiastic new writers. We may Joke about Woodward and his pal, yet there are serious investigations that could be Undertaken with sufficient manpower.

The new design could not be completed in time.” The move was then postponed until the end of this semester by the Office of Facilities Planning because the carpeting needed to furnish the library’s permanent space on the first floor of Capen Hall has not yet arrived, according to Budget and Facilities Planning Officer of the Libraries, John Vasi. Carpet problems The carpeting of Capen Hall is a key factor in determining when the UGL will move. Orignally, the UGL was to temporarily relocate to the already carpeted third floor of Capen in order to vacate the old UGL building for the Computer Science department, Roy explained. However, when plans for die renovation of the old UGL building were deemed unacceptable by Facilities Planning, it was decided that the UGL should remain in its present space. The library will move to the first floor of Capen when it is carpeted. “We could easily wait until oar permanent space is completed,” Roy said. “There is no reason for us to hurry. We are aiming for one move.” According to Vasi. the postponement of the UGL move to Amherst has not affected the timetable for the relocation of other University Libraries. “The UGL is a relatively small move,” Vasi said. “The longer we wait the easier it will be because incoming new equipment will reduce the numberof old desks and shelves to be moved Because the relocation of the UGL will not take place until the end of this semester, the libraries in the Elllcott Complex will “probably remain open in order to help fill the need for a library at the Amherst Campus,” Assistant Vice President of Facilities Pluming, Albert Dahlberg said. Chairman of Computer Science Anthony Ralston said the date of the move to the UGL has not yet been decided. The earliest possible date, Ralston said, is the end of this semester but, he added, “1 doubt that we will move before Christmas ” of next year.” The scheduled move of the Undergraduate library (UGL) to Capen Hall on the Amherst Campus has been pushed back twice as a result of separate complications, according to Director of Uuversity Libraries, Saktidas Roy. The move, which was supposed to take place during the semester break, was to precede the relocation of the Computer Science Department from the Ridge Lea Campus to the vacated UGL space, Roy said. ■ - ‘ ' : J.< •-M; The Spectrum ir our big clique.

A tip of the hat must also be awarded to Jimmy Carter, our beloved President, who rallied a beleagured nation together, if only for a short, passionate moment, to babbie in unison, “Christ, that Amy is a homely kid.” Incidentally, don’t expect the White House to ever admit that, during Jimmy's unprecedented “Call the President” hour, most of the calls were to moderator Walter Cronkite, wanting to know if Ac fei - i« I.

The SPCA was deluged with pet rocks that had grown too big or become a nuisance. ,JOh, they’re cute when they’re little,” said one lady abandoning her pet, “but now he’s becoming a pain, leaving little chips all over the place.” Moat of the rocks are never adopted and were subsequently gassed by the SPCA. The teen-scene was dominated this year by the wholesome. All-American looks of the rock group KISS and by that goulish bastion of the bizarre, wild man Shaun Cassidy, who was insanely banging on people’s windshields warbling, “Remember me? I’m famous!” Meanwhile, Fleetwood Mac’s Humours sold more copies worldwide than Xerox, and Punk Rockers sent safety pin stock soaring. In sports, jockey Steve Cauthen rode more winners than Warren Beatty and Reggie Jackson drove a few additional poisoned pins into his voodoo doll that I’ve been fashioning for eight years.

Unpaid student loans affect career choices by Denise Stumpo Feature Editor More than $S.S billion in undergraduate and graduate student loans has not been repaid by college students, according to the latest government figures. Consequently, many graduates have large debts hanging over their heads upon entering the job market, which worries education experts. The prospect of massive loan repayments, they say, will influence students’ career goals and point them toward high-paying jobs. What’s wrong with a high salary? It’s what often goes along with it, says Kurt L. Kendis of the University of Pennsylvania. He warns that the burden of debts will result in career choices “which dearly do not benefit society.” Educators fear that newly graduated medical doctors with unpaid loans, for instance, will shun public-health positions in favor of private practices and specialties. Physicians with large loans on their minds, they feel, may not be sensitive to the need to hold down increasing health costs. “We cannot have graduate and professional students entering the world with $20,000, $30,000, and $50,000 in debts,” voiced Kendis. “Maybe if they are unlucky enough to marry a man or woman who is also a graduate or professional student, which is a more and more familiar phenomenon, then we are talking about combined debts between $50,000 and $100,000.

Half of it was never touched, and most tfis who borrowed used the money to pull themselves out of short-term situations. In contrast, during the 75-76 academic year, an estimated 7!-3 million students borrowed a total of $2.6 billion to help pay for their educations. The current loan program is seen by many leading educators, as confusing and inadequate in dealing with the growing loan demand. Loans are offered through the Federal Government, private organizations, colleges, universities, and a growing number of states.

'“v .■ educational programs available for high school dropouts in Buffalo, to be used in conjunction with a Youth Advocacy Project presently being developed in the city of Buffalo, and gathering support from key faculty and admissions officials for legislation to reform the Educational Testing System in New York State Students worked extensively with other concerned citizens, both on campus and in the community, to do research and organize support for reforms in these areas. This semester, students will continue to work in conjunction with legislation in Albany. NYPIRG student lobbyists, assigned to specific issues, will be working closely with students on campus here, focusing their efforts on the constituents of key legislators. Not only was there a sense of accomplishment from constructive activity last semester, but also a sense of comraderie among a group of people working towards common goals of reforming the system. Volunteers made dents in the stereotyped image of the apathetic college student, and had fun at the same time. NYPIRG provides a valuable experience for any student wishing to learn, change the system, and enjoy it. Many students are amazed to find their efforts turned into published reports in a relatively short period of time, with the subsequent effect of raising the public’s consciousness and creating change on many fronts. Any students wishing to join this semester can go to the NYPIRG office in Room 311 Squire Hall, or call 831-5426. Approximately 50 students had an opportunity last semester to receive a valuable educational experience to work .towards social and political change, and to have a good time at it.

They apply these skills in a wide variety of public interest projects, in areas of consumer protection, political reform, social justice, energy conservation, and governmental fiscal responsibility. < Last semester, NYPIRG students worked successfully on eight projects including: examining auto repair shop practices of diagnosing “rigged” problems; measuring the energy efficiency of over 65 buildings in the area, and providing the information to building owners and the new County Department of Energy; studying the compliance by local public bodies with'the State Sunshine Laws, with findings and recommendations having direct impact on the State Committee on Public Access to records; campus voter registration drive, facilitating voting in November, 1977 by over 2500 students here; and petitioning to get non-returnable beverage containers banned from campus, with support from the Students Senate and over 1500 dormitory residents.

Buffalo was victimized by Colgate, Cornell, University of Detroit and Central Michigan. The lone UB victory came at the expense of the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee. The Division III Bulls faced only Division I competition, and coach Leo Richardson felt the ballclub played its best. “We did the best we could against the stiff competition,” said Richardson. Buffalo started their Christmas break blues by dropping both games in the Cornell Invitational Tournament. In the opening game of the tournament, Colgate narrowly defeated UB 73-71 in overtime. Ed Johnson and Sam Pellom led the Buffalo attack by scoring 20 and 17 points respectively. In the consolation game, the Big Red of Cornell handed Buffalo their second defeat in as many days, 85-75. Following a ten-day break, the rested Bulk travelled to Milwaukee. Buffalo earned its second victory of the season by defeating the Rmthers 78-75. Again, senior guard Ed Johnson sparked the Bulb by ;c leading all UB scorers with 24 points. Buffalo’s winning streak lasted only one game, as UB next faced the University of Detroit. Hie nationally ranked Detroit fne crushed the bulls 122-81. “Detroit is the best team welt'fact all year,” stated Richardson. “They’re better than Syracuse and probably tops in the ,'J East. The Bulls’ final contest during the winter break again ended on a sour note. Central Michigan bombed Buffalo 102-73 in Mount Pleasant, Michigan.

The move will bring to an uneven end the University-wide four-credits for three-classroom hour policy. The adopted report recommends that the University establish the three-credit for three-classroom hour policy as an academic base and that each department undertake a “systematic review” of all programs to determine which courses should be granted exceptional status. The report will be forwarded to Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald F. Bunn for his virtually certain official approval. Supporters of the report were insistent in their contentions that a majority of students will not face a five course load in thy future. In fact, the report recommends that “no particular number of courses” be designated as a “desired norm.” Some departments, especially in the science-related fields, will probably remain with four credit courses after their evaluations. Departments in the Humanities and Social Sciences are expected to have four-credits for present difficulty justifying the three-classroom hour policy and will probably be forced to reduce the number of credits granted for each course to three. The report discourages any “beefing up” of courses that would seek to justify an extra credit. Students present at the meeting voiced wide-ranging disenchantments with the committee and its report Student Association (SA) President Dennis Delia asked that implementation of the report be delayed until construction of the Amherst Campus moved farther along. His request was not heeded. Delia’s view was that the report, if implemented this Spring as planned, will strain already inadequate facilities such as lecture halls and buses by effecting a rise in the number of courses $nd a getting “more for their money” through the report and ought to embrace its proposals accordingly. In response, SA Senator Alan Greenberg suggested acidly that “we’re not a supermarked but a University. If this is a supermarket, perhaps we should have a sale on three-credit corresponding increase in inter-campus travel. SA Director of Academic Affairs Bob Sinkewicz criticized the committee for buckling to pressure exerted by the State Division of Budget (DOB) to adopt the courses to attract more three-for-three system. He called the report “biased” and the the this charged in an interview with The Spectrum that Faculty Senate deliberately excluded students from committee. “1 think it’s extremely detrimental to report,” he told the Senate, “that students were not allowed to have a say on the committee.” Sinkewicz claimed that despite repeated attempts by SA officials, the committee purposely failed to inform students of the committee’s meeting times. The student side won a minor victory when the Senate passed an ammendment to the report recommending that students be involved in the evaluation process within the various departments. Committee Chairman Robert Springer repeatedly stressed that he does not expect a wholesale shift to three-credit courses. He also claimed that the report’s adoption will not trigger a significant rise in the number of courses scheduled but rather an increase in the number of students per course. Springer emphasized that each department must evaluate its own programs and come up with particular adherences to the report’s general guidelines. Several Faculty students.” The concept of the four-course load was approved by the same Faculty Senate in 1968. It’s purpose was to grant students the opportunity to attain a greater intellectual depth by carrying a smaller number of courses. Disagreements over the original intent behind the four course load surfaced at yesterday’s meeting disagreements which, to a large extent, were responsible for the formation of the Springer Committee. Some senators claimed that professors were instructed in 1968 not to “beef up” their courses but instead to allow students greater educational depth through individual, outside study. There was purported to be documented evidence of such instruction. Faculty Senate Chairman Jonathan Richert, a tireless of the 1977 report, claimed that the true “spirit” of the 1968 change was to toughen up courses to make them worthy of the extra credit. Richert observed that some units of the University (most notably Fngineering and Management) actively beefed up their curriculums. Others, he said, did not. Richert’s view was supported by University President Robert Ketter. It appears that the varying departmental reactions to the 1968 shift have, nine years later, led to a reconsideration of the four course load’s intent and are directly responsible for the varying effect the 1977 report will have on the University’s academic structure supporter Senate members felt students were The Spectrum Vol. 28, No. 44 Wednesday, 14 December 1977 State University of New York at Buffalo Granada Theater renovation: landmark dilemmaon MtdnSt his operation Among more notable renovations in the past was the Riviera Theater in by Lewis J. Feinerman Spectrum Staff Writer To its patrons, the Granada Theater was a neighborhood haven that harbored new friendships and perpetuated old ones, a North Buffalo landmark that garnered educational experiences as well as community comaraderie. But in the true spirit of American capitalism, all that has changed and this time it could be the dough before the show. The Granada transformed from has a a been respected movie house to house of “smut.” Several years ago, the theater was taken over by Michael Theaters, a Long Island-based pornography company with which state-wide, locations refurbished the theater for its own uses. After a few years of poor business, they had to foreclose the Buffalo operation, leaving a great deal of back taxes unpaid. As a result of this abandonment, the theater became city property. It is housed within the Granada Complex, which also includes six storefronts and seven apartments. The theater is located in a busy, well known business area on Main Street between West Northrup and West Winspear Streets. The theater has been closed for approximately two years and recently the city decided to divest itself and put it up for bid. The two principle bidders are Wendy’s fast food restaurants, an concern; Lawrence Mattar and localities and Joseph through well known renovator Victor Mole, has plans to renovate the theater and Mosey. make Mattar, it His the whole complex and turn it into a fast food restaurant Wendy’s has bid $140,000 for the purchase of the entire complex, including the theater. An $20,000 would be additional needed for the demolition as well as another $140,000 to build the restaurant. Mattar has made a somewhat more conservative bid. His interests have offered $85,000 for the theater and an estimated $109,000 for the renovation. With the figures in black and white the city is faced with a quandary; $140,000 (less $7,000 for real estate commission) from Wendy’s, as opposed to $85,000 from Mattar. Should the criteria be into a successful for choosing the winning bidder the highest bid? Or the one which in the “long run” will contribute the most to the community? Most community residents would agree on the latter. Mattar has promised to renovate the outside of the building as well as the interior. In addition, he would show children matinees, weekly movies, first and movies, special second run programs for senior citizens, church plays, art films, ballets, organ concerts, school field trips and old classics. Neighborhood support of In consideration In the green Ohio bidding opposition, Wendy’s, plans to take Tcfnawanda. their respective bids and proposals, the Finance Committee met last Tuesday, Of the 15 councilmen from Buffalo, four have expressed desire to see the Granada stay a theater and two absent members its already have endorsed preservation residents, local Among high: sentiments are running Granada, their community center, danger of destruction. is in — are currently being circulated, one is available at North Buffalo Food Co-op, 3225 Main Most Street. local businessmen want to preserve it for a number of reasons. First, another fast food place would mean more competition for restaurants in close proximity, such as Sign of the Steer and Bagatelle. Presently there are 16 restaurants or fast food places the Granada to the from University, Two local merchants, and Parkside Herzog Drugs Candies have made their views perfectly clear They stand behind the Granada 100 percent The Wendy proposal brings with it some ponderances. First, the traffic snarls in and around the restaurant would pose a hazard for people walking in the area, particularly around lunch time. Wendy’s expects around 500 cars in and out of the parking lot per day. Also there are many school children in the area who go home for lunch every day that would be affected Petitions // No whoppers for Wendy's Another reason for opposing Wendy’s would be the increase in crime that another fast food place might bring. There have been several robberies recently at a number of fast food stores. Many residents feel there will be a great increase in litter if Wendy’s is Keeping the Granada erected could perhaps be a deterrent to crowds of crime Large the movie-goers in and around theater day and night may well discourage mischievous activity. Bill Price, Councilman for the University Heights area said, “The Mattar alternative means preservation of the theater and renovation of the building which will go a long way in revitalizing the business district. The Granada as a neighborhood theater adds to our community life The Wendy alternative would only be a way station that called to transients coming through at 30 miles per hour. If you consider neighborhood preservation important, the Granada theater is / \ the best thing we can do Next Tuesday the Common Council is meeting on whether the Granada Fifteen will stay councilmen will vote to determine its fate If the answer is positive, and the Granada stays, many feel a significant boost will be given to community. the But if it’s negat ive and is Wendy’s constructed, there’s a possibility that tempers hotter will be outside than the hamburgers inside ” �wpp —Coker/Rosan ‘Have it your way’ Keeping up withfastfood by Tony Ample Spectrum Staff Writer Fast food junkies probably drool at the sight of Main Street between Bailey and Minnesota.

The increase, which will be implemented at the start of next semester, is "basically a result of the 35 cent minimum wage increase," Hosie said, terming it “higher than we anticipated.” In addition to the increased labor cost, food costs have risen 2 percent. Hosie claimed, which has contributed to the overall rise in contract price. According to Student Association (SA) Treasurer Neil Seiden, who is also a member of the Faculty Student Association (FSA) board, minimum wage has risen 15 cents beyond what was budgeted as the projected minimum wage increase. Food Service made a contingency allowance for minimum wage to rise to $2.50. Seiden explained, and had to budget an additional 15 cents for each man hour. "This (the increase) is not their doing," Seiden said, “It comes from the official government.” Not enough budgeted Food Service has to budget extra money to cover cost increases for the following year, Seiden claimed. “As far as I know," he s!hnh “FSA generally uses all money in their capacity for students.” He said that many students complained because brownies went up 10 cents in one day Seiden, in accordance with Hosie, claimed that the cost of ingredients rose “beyong the point of breaking even ." Hosie. the Food Service budget allowed for a one in food cost, a one percent increase in labor, and a one in the miscellaneous fund which includes telephone service, Social Security increases, insurance, etc. The board contract increase, Hosie said, is an additional $6 thousand which had not been budgeted in the projected increases.

Bethune: mixed sentiments abound on secluded campus Spectrum to percent increase percent increase More meals The largest meal plan, according to Hosie, will increase SI3 because of cost increases and an additional $12 because of the addition of another meal (on Sunday morning) to the plan. “In effect,” Hosie said, “the 18 meal a week plan is now a 19 meal a week plan, and the 13 meal a week plan is now a 14 meal a week plan.” The addition of the extra meals was a result of a survey of students on board contract, Hosie said. The two largest meal plans will increase $13. The 19 meal plan will cost $458 and the 14 meal plan will cost $436. The 15 meal plan will cost $372, an additional cost of $11 over this semester’s cost for the same plan. The 10 meal plan will cost $10 more; $350. A new 5 meal a week plan is being offered at a cost of $240. Food Service is currently requesting permission from the Federal Department of Labor to pay students a sub minimum wage 85 percent of full minimum wage to help allay the cost of board contracts. According to Hosie, projected minimum wage increases are $2.65 for this January, $2.90 for Jan. 1979, $3.10 for Jan. 1980 and up to $3.35 for Jan. 1981. Food service costs will increase accordingly. and sculpture communication design (to name a few) are painted white. The floors in the sculpture studios are speckled with plaster and wood shavings. Drills buzzing on the fourth floor can be heard in the elevator on the way down to the first. Some walk around with smocks over their clothes while others walk around with ideas on their faces. There is energy in the air yet one can hear discontent resounding from some students. The biggest grievance Art students have is the lack of adequate bus transportation to classes. “It’s a pain to take the bus because it runs once every hour," complained one student. “It would be easier if they had more busses from transportation Aside students have inadequacies, isolation to contend with, since Bethune is almost a mile away from the Main Street Campus Obvious inconveniences include the Art library’s location on the Amherst campus and the long walk to the nearest art supply store a few miles down Main Street “They (the University) seclude all the arts,” said one student sadly. “Money is being spent on everyone but art students.” Many students feel that Bethune is understaffed and underfunded. “The 'solation affects me indirectly.” said Kozak, “I feel badly about the lime it takes for painting, by Leah Levine Stall Writer The Arts are always the first to Three years ago, the Main Street campus waved goodbye to its Art Department as hundreds of students and faculty members packed up their creative supplies and ventured to a new home, Bethune Hall. On the corner of Main and Hertel, the tall, firebrick structure was a meter factory until a few years ago. When space offered on the Amherst Campus was thought to be insufficient, both the Architecture and Art Departments refuse and adequate sought facialities at Bethune. According to Anthony Rozak, Associate Professor of Art, the department is pleased with its facilities. “We’re very happy with the space here; the facilities are great,” he said. Since the Architecture Department moved back to Main Street last year, the Art Department now has access to all four floors in the building. in the air There’s an “arty” atmosphere at Bethune which entertains all the senses.

It’s not New York City or Chicago, but it’s not terribly far behind.” One woman noted that due to the isolation of the building, “Bethune is a dangerous place to be at night because of the lack of security. It poses a problem if I want to work after six.” Yet, some students feel there is an advantage to their isolation. As one artist eagerly expressed, “Here, I don’t have to pul up with anyone’s garbage.” Another said. “The isolation has its benefits because a lot of changes are going on in the department. It’s growing and expanding.” Many Art students wished that they “weren't considered by the unimportant administration.” Art classes are only worth three credits. “That’s unfair for the amount of time we put into our work," said an Art “The arts should be major, emphasized more here." Despite some talk about the Art Department finding another home, the truth is, Bethune will be around for many years to come not Although easily accessible, Bethune’s facilities are excellent, as one faculty member said. “The building’s facilities are the best in the area if not in the country (2nd Floor) Quality Used Books For Collectors Hours: Wad. thru Sat. 11 to Rocks Rings i?

The Spectrum , Page three �hi td Bartending the most Shakespea social job on campus by Gerard Sternesky Spectrum Arts Editor by Brenda Strayhall Spectrum Staff Writer What’s it like to be a bartender at the Wilkeson pub? “I like it,” said Dave Cordts, “I’m able to see all my friends when they come in and tending bar keeps me out of trouble.” Don Miller agrees, “It’s a great way to meet people.” Bartenders have sharp ears, according to Cordts, and often pick up on interesting conversations. Sometimes they find themselves in an unusual situation, says Tom Lener who was once approached by a male who inquired if he’d be interested in some group sex after hours. Lener declined the offer. “Some of the people that come in here are too much,” remarked Bill Poachal, “and are impatient, expecting to be served hand and foot. They’re the ones who end up being served last.” Anyone who is a constant troublemaker is “blacklisted,” according to Doug Carroll, a pub bartender for two years. There isn’t really a list kept but the bartenders can usually recall the agitators. They are held responsible for the shot-pourers, worth $15 each. The male who stole one once hasn’t been served since, they claim. Another problem that happens very often is theft of tips from the cups on the counter. “Who do you accuse?” asks Carroll. “I’ll be making a drink and hear change sliding out of the cup and when I turn around, the person, my tips with him, are long gone.” Carroll said his girlfriend, who is a waitress, could clear as much as $40 in a given night whereas he’d consider himself lucky to clear $3. Closet dramatists may live in closets, but playwrights who write for the theatre of the world must live in the world. They must be more than mere observers, for they must commit themselves fully to life before they can write about it with sympathy and understanding. So writes Frank W. Wadsworth in his introduction to The Complete Pelican Shakespeare. His comments are particularly appropriate in discussing Bingo, Or Scenes of Money and Death, the delightful new production by The Center For Theater Research, because they form the basis of the play’s dramatic tension. Bingo, written by Edward Bond, is about the last months in the life of William Shakespeare, about the process of self-evaluation which he may have unde ’one. As much as possible (the biographical records are, by modern standards, scant) the play is factual, and there is little reason to believe that what is not factual is not Bingo, a factual account of the last days of William Shakespeare, is being presented by the Center for Theater Research at the Pfeifer Theater on Lafayette until Dec. 18 and will re-open January 31. possible that Shakespeare was a least, answering his own question landlord.

Wednesday, 14 December 1977 . �IT deadline: survey finds it earlier than other centers Students at this University have less time to withdraw from courses than do students at other SUNY centers, a recent survey conducted by The Spectrum revealed. According to the News Editor of the Student Press at SUNY at Albany that University’s students had the most time, up to one week prior to the close of classes, for a student to “officially withdraw” or receive a “W” on his transcript. He stated that there have been no indications from either students or the Administration that a change may be made. Reducing the time At both Binghamton and Stony Brook, the official withdrawal period is eight weeks, although the Administrative gears are in motion to try to reduce the time in Binghamton. According to a source at Binghamton’s Registrar Office, there is a motion in that University’s Faculty Senate to move the date back to “either six or seven weeks.” Exactly when the new date would go into effect was not known. At this University students only have until February 24, six weeks after the beginning of the semester to withdraw from courses. This time period has been a point of controversy since the Faculty Senate put it into effect. According to Chairman of the Faculty Senate, Jonathan Reichart, a motion to review that decision was almost unanimous. “The Faculty feels very strongly about this,” he said. Reichart was quick to point out that institutions such as Colgate University had two weeks to resign and in still others “you’re stuck with what you register for.” Reichart stated he thought that the Senate was being “generous” with the six week withdrawal, and added, “If I had my way, it would be four weeks.” He reiterated that the Senate felt that additional withdrawal time would cause consuming of sapce, preventing other students from taking the course. He said that this was the way the Faculty Senate wanted to prevent students from “shopping around.” We’re being fair Reichart claimed that the “vast majority of professors do give tests” before the six week deadline, and also give a description of the course at the beginning, which should give the student sufficient information to decide whether he should stay in the class. When it was pointed out that there are a lot of classes where tests were not given until after the six week deadline, Reichart added, “That’s life.” Braving the storm Bus shelters tied up in Albany by Joel Mayersohn Spectrum Staff Writer In another example of bureaucratic blundering, bus shelters accommodating up to 200 people that were ordered in August 1977, have yet to be installed because the order has been held over in Albany. With winter’s grip clutching the Western New York area, students at the Amherst Campus have had to brave Mother Nature’s elements unsheltered, while waiting for buses at the Hamilton and Flint loops. The shelters are right now in the office of Standards and Purchases in Albany where engineers are checking the buildings’ specifications. According to Assistant Vice-President for Purchasing Paul Bacon, “The problem lies in the design of the shelters.” Bacon requested that each shelter contain a dome roof because “it would be structurally sounder and more decorative than the flat roof.” Somewhere in the bureaucracy the dome shelter was eliminated, although Bacon could not single out exactly where. Bacon stated that Standards and Purchases is now reviewing both shelter types and will report their findings to the manufacturer, who will make the adjustments in the structure accordingly. What puzzles students is why the shelters were first ordered in August, when administrators knew of the major shift to Amherst months before? Bacon w amed this situation on “numerous controversies. It was not until July that we were able to ascertain our bus routes.” Bacon also indicated the tremendous difficulty in finding companies who manufactured bus shelters. In fact, only two firms sent in bids for the shelters. Both Vice-President for Finance and Management Edward Doty and Bacon were unable to predicate the date of the shelters arrival. Doty stated, “This is a bureaucratic problem and any explanation would not be satisfactory to the students or me.” Another unanswered question is the amount of time needed to install the new shelters. Bacon is unsure of the way the Shelters will be shipped. This problem along with weather conditions and the number of men assigned to the installation will determine the amount of time needed to place the structures. As Bacon indicated, “It would be foolish to set an exact amount of time, but considering all the variables involved it could take a fair amount of time.” I I Erie County Executive Ned Regan has labelled the New York State management system for Medicaid “the worst in the country.” His statement came in response to a series of questions regarding recently published figures of estimated waste in the program on both the state and national levels. On a brighter note Regan called the Erie County program as good as they come in New York State. ‘That’s not saying there’s not error,” Regan stated, “but we are free from the chronic abuses prevalent in New York City. New York City is famous for its abuses of the Medicaid program.” Regan explained what he called Gotham’s “ping ponging process” where people are shuffled back and forth between different agencies and services until the is acknowledged problem as solved, only to have the process begin again a month later. Regan good credited investigators with having Erie County on top of the situation. “They’ve checked all agencies,” he said. “The fraudulent ones have been caught, convicted and assessed huge fines.” Despite recent reform efforts on the part of the state, Regan has little faith in its ability to effect a significant change in the program. He classified the efforts as “movement, but very late and very little.” No state control When asked how he would have brought reform to the ystem if given the opportunity, Regan “With replied, better I would have management moved faster and a lot sooner. Also, I would move to do away with Special Services, scale the program down a little. Carey ... Erie County Executive Ned Regan flashes a campaign smile. doesn’t have control over his system of management.” Funding for the program seems to present a major hitch in any reform action according to the County Executive. “New York is the only state in the country in which the county pays as much as half of the State Welfare bill,” he explained. “We had to shut down libraries and close parks. Taxpayers just don’t make the connection. Money is cutely hidden, buried in state tax bills. Albany is a marvelous place to hide. People continue to vote for those representatives voting against reform. The uninformed public is their own Medicaid/Welfare plague.” OLD RED MILL INN Not phone booths What can be assured is the size and location of the structures. Each shelter will be rectangular in design. Its measurement will be 10’x45’. Two, five foot openings will be in each edifice. Each aperture will be specified for a corresponding bus route, so that students can position themselves at the appropriate section of the shelter. According to Vice-President for Facilities and Planning John Telfer, “The positioning of the shelters is based on present pedestrian patterns and current wind direction.” Bacon wanted to clarify the presence of the existing structure at the Hamilton loop. “This is not shelter, whoever believed that had a permanent received incorrect information.’’ 8326 MAIN ST. ctarwic*. pMMwaHear 0 Israeli—^ I Erie Medicaid called worst in the nation For gems from the Jewish Bible Phone 875-4265 h.y. 14221 j""bcTb"&~D0N'S ~MOBll” I 632-9533 WINTER BREAK ARUBA Serving SUNY'S BUFFALO & !

Yesterday's Faculty Senate vote to adopt its Committee report on the four course load is a stinging affront to undergraduate students here. Student leaders claim, with compelling evidence to back them up, they were excluded from the committee. The report was completed without student input and, more importantly, without any desire to seriously consider student misgivings about the recommended shift away from the four course load. We find it deplorable and utterly inexcusable that, on a decision so profoundly important to students, the Faculty Senate would, with such arrogance and disrespect, ignore student protests while at the same time pulling the strings on their academic lives. Faculty Senate Chairman Jonathan Richert should be singled out for cutting off debate on the report after 4S minutes. The fact that Richert, knowing students had no say on the committee,, had the gall to look seven or eight students waiting to speak right in the eye and say "I believe we've heard enough" is infuriating. We suggest that the Faculty Senate has the obligation to sit and listen to discussion on this crucial issue for as long as necessary. Those Senators and Chairmen who desired to make it home for dinner should chew on these predictions; The report will encourage arbitrary standards. Some departments will try to get away with four credits, while others will settle for three. Degree requirements will be thrown into chaos. Students will have to juggle their schedules to accomodate courses that are worth varying amounts of credit. Scheduling anarchy will result. Thp problems of class size, inadequate bus service and split campuses will be worsened. Watch for more accreditation problems. The number of courses taught by graduate students will increase, further lowering the reputation of some departments. Students will search for, and find two or three relatively easy courses instead of one or two. Instructors will be more willing to provide such. We fully expect to be able to say “we told you so" in a couple of yean. More immediately, we call for the Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn to delay rubber stamping the report until student grievances can be adequately aired. We also call on Bunn to investigate charges that students were deliberately left off the committee. - , - - - Cogito, ergo sum Those who believe in evaluation and would surely argue that now is the time to consider what has been done, for better or for worse, and then what deeds have yet to be fully realized or even conceived. Such is a process common to many, conscious or unconscious or someplace far in between, common to those who have real pasts upon which they will divine the highest order of futures. Interesting is how some can feel the potential of their futures, be it in a dream to be fulfilled or in a function within ready grasp, while others are interested in nothing in either direction beyond their immediate circumstances, and will thus not know where they are going until they arrive nor how to reflect on the past to help them get there. One is reminded of a brightly-colored fresco found in the Minoan ruins at Knossos on the Greek island of Crete. Since transposed onto a post card (of course), it features two crudely-drawn birds positioned back to back. One is gazing to the future and the other to the past. The space separating the two is negligible. Where has this newspeper gone this semester? Where will it go next semester? Where did you go this semester? Did you learn anything? Was it fun? You m&it not even be here next semester but think about wrtiat transpired and how it differed from what you really wanted to do and make done. Did you make “it" occur or did "it" occur to you? If none of this matters (not the style, but the substance), then you could not conceivably care about wfcere you are taking your life, nor worrying about the possibility that it might be taking you. Keep thinking. It could set you back a number of years and change your future.

In Monday’s edition of The Spectrum, Managing Editor Jay Rosen invited all readers to submit comments on his “Exile on Main Street” column. Being an avid reader of Mr. Rosen’s articles, I would like to be the first to state my opinions. “Exile” is a bullshit column. The topics discussed are often unclear and the reader is frequently confused as to the relevance of the articles. An exception would be Mr. Rosen’s latest article in which he comments on the student’s lack of involvement at this University. Upon finishing the article, however, the reader is still left unsatisfied because Mr. Rosen hasn’t suggested any useful ways as to how the students can become more involved at this University. Also, Mr. Rosen’s use of the English language is in definite need of improvement. 1 have often observed Mr. Rosen using the following phrases in his articles: I must admit, the tact of the matter is, I must say, and in my opinion. Why use these hackneyed phrases in your editorials? The reader already knows that the article is an editorial and who the editorial is written by. Using these catch-all phrases is just wasting words and illustrates your lack of proper schooling. Putting quotations around key words or ideas is another poor example of writing that should have been eliminated back in grade , school. In the future I hope that Mr. Rosen will take just a little more time in developing his articles. After all, this is a college institution we are attending and we shouldn’t be subjected to kindergarten literature. ; Jay Hager . .....

Although 1 don’t always Before the classes end and The Spectrum shuts agree with the opinions expressed, “Exile” is still the down for the holiday break, I would like to mention best feature in the Monday The Spectrum. how much I have enjoyed Jay Rosen’s “Exile on Mr. Rosen, in the December 12 issue, you asked Main Street” this semester. It is usually humerous for criticism and invited us to write “vicious letters and entertaining (for example that great satire on of protest.” 1 apologize for not complying. the Bulls football game). However, it has at times been serious and insighted trying to open the Kenneth Abel - - �Phlegmatic Garcia review To the Editor The December 9 review of the Jerry Garcia concert was horrendous, if not ridiculous. Mr. Papadopoulos (I hope I spelled it wrong) has his head buried under a pile of phlegm. While totally ignoring the actual concert, Mr, Papadopoulos flicks amateurish cheap shots at Mr. Garcia, whom he slanders by calling him a “fat old hippie.” Maybe the Music Editor forgets that certain feelings and passions for Garcia’s style are timeless! This is the second time you, Mr. P., have reviewed the Dead or Garcia who, as you may like to treat in your pathetic ignorance, are not interchangeable and the second (may I use your headline?) review that was choke “quite worthless.” Even in a subjective journalistic field as — — - - yours, a certain measure of restraint and objectivity must be employed. One would think that a Music Editor should attempt to find some worth in a group whose creativity and energy have outlasted the “in,” trendy groups that do no more than satisfy the media’s appetite for the absurd. not with an inanely Review with knowledge caustic pen.

Even though Mr, Papadopoulos and I might find a favoring for the Doctor of Gonzo Jurnalism (yes, I’d love to see him host “Saturday Nile Live” too) his review of The Jerry Garcia Band at Buff State is highly distortive to reality! A Laurel and Hearty praise to Buff State’s Union Board since the fans “got what they want . . . and that’s all that counts . . .!! Yo0 are into the new wave, I am into the San Francisco scene.

It’s gonna be a punk rock Christmas, indeed! Love and Peace from the Summer of ’67. University is totally analogous to a person in dire need, desiring to use a vandalized pay toilet. Our tuition is equivalent to the dime one inserts in the slot. The human excretment and gobs of unflushed matter in the said toilet is reminiscent of the snow that clogs all the parking lots, causing the commuter to issue forth a barrage of foul language from his speaking orifice. The large quantity of offal in this vandalized squat stool is also comparable to the no doubt superior intelligence occupying the large and globular cranial cavities that belong to the officials in charge of snow clearing and maintenance on the Main Street campus of this truly great university. These very intelligent officials did not have only a whole weekend but indeed the Friday afternoon before to plan and effect the removal of all the five-sided precipitory matter that innocently graced the lots. Did they come through? Were the studenfis able to park? No! In effect, and in complete accordance with the analogy, the students were forced to shit in their pants for lack of properly maintained facilities. We have truly been lambasted and lampooned by our beloved university With S browned rump.

So, Mr Papadopolous, it’s not that “Dead heads just don’t know when to quit,” it’s that Dead Heads know the Deads’ music is the best, and they know the Dead have not taken a step downward in their abilities and greatness Parking gratitude — to Dimitri Papadopolos’ column Grateful Dead, I feel he is gravely mistaken when he insisted that the Dead are no longer productive, and appear finished. Jerry Garcia, and the rest of the Dead are as Grateful Dead (alive) today as they’ve always been. The aging he wrote about is a mere mellowing-out. As Jerry Garcia stated in a radio interview with WL1R radio about In response about the two years ago, “I’ve seen what has happened to Barry Colder Garcia is the best To the Editor Thank God for the cancelling of classes last Friday. Thank God, no one really got to read that insane article by Dimitri Papadapolous. It is quite evident that Mr. Papadapolous knows little about the Jerry Garcia Band, nonetheless he felt qualified enough to review the concert. Did I say Review? Excuse me, there was no review of that concert in last Friday’s The Spectrum I read an article mistitled “The Grateful Dead Show Quite Worthless.” After reading that article I concluded that it was not the show that was worthless, it was the review that was worthless. Excuse me, there 1 go again calling it a concert review As is evident, Mr. P. did not use his column to write about the Jerry Garcia Band show, but used it as a forum to air his personal views about Jerry Garcia. Mr. P., 1 question your integrity as a columnist Were you actually present at the concert? It is quite obvious that your personal beliefs would normally keep you away from “Garcia Band” concerts. If you were there, then why? In effort to clear a few points, let me first repeat the fact that this was NOT a Grateful Dead show. It was a Jerry Garcia Band show. There exists a broad distinction between the two groups. Mr. Garcia is not limited, as are many other musicians, to be typed into a particular format of music. His past has reflected his talents in accompaniment with such musicians as Merl Saunders, C.S.N.&Y. (On Deja Vu) and David Bromberg, to mention a few. Surely there are not too many musicians who could do the same with so many different styles of music. The Garcia Band’s opening song, James Taylor’s “How Sweet It Is” reflected the many varieties of music that were to come. Other songs that the Garcia Band plays include Jimmy Cliff’s “The Harder They Come,” Bob Dylan’s “Knocking on Heaven’s Door,” and Joan Baez’s “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down.” These are not the average songs that one would expect to hear of the Grateful Dead but are for the Jerry Garcia Band As a matter of clarification, it is a celebrated rarity when the Garcia Band plays a Grateful Dead song. The individuality of the two groups remain, as intended, intact The second point of which 1 would like to clarify, is in response to the letter written by the individual who complained of prolonged breaks. Mr Fischetti: How much can you ask of one individual? Never mind the fact that the Garcia Band is one of only a select few musical groups that even dare to give a two set show for a single admission price A four to five minute break after a ten to twenty minute song is not what I would call unreasonable. I’ll tell you what is unreasonable though, unreasonable is greedy individuals such as yourself who are not satisfied when a musician puts his all into a longer than average show and then have the balls to scream for more, after the set has ended That is unreasonable! Again 1 repeat the fact that I am glad that very few people got to read last Friday’s The Spectrum. good Both articles exhibited a deal of closemindedness To those of you who were at the show and enjoyed yourselves, SHINE ON!

We would like to express our gratitude to the following people: 1) To the maintenance crew for doing such a great job of plowing, and for clearing out so many parking spaces. 2) To the people who seem to have a permanently reserved place in the middle of the lot, and never want to give it up, for being such a tremendous help to the above in doing their job. 3) To the people who learned their parking skills from the back of a cereal box, for helping to promote the smooth flow of traffic by parking in the middle of the aisles; and to those who parked in such a way as to prevent others parked in regulation spaces from leaving the lot. Special recognition is due the owners of the following: 451-ERG, 769-NGZ, 333-MEA for their expert skill in both of the above. 4) And finally, to the University Police, for being so adamant about refusing to tow away these illegally parked cars, and for conveniently running out of tickets to tag such cars.

The Spectrum , Page seven �Present and future state of Metro Bus shelters Have you ever been waiting for a Metro Bus in ‘less than favorable” weather conditions? If you have, you know that the ytside walls of a Metro Shelter can be a comforting sight. The wind can be blowing, rain falling, snow flying, but you can still look forward to being warm and dry in the shelter. Right? Actually, the true performance of these shelters as ports in a storm tends to be less than we might expect. Wind and rain drift through the wide open doorways; cold air nips at your feet as it breezes through the openings between the floor and walls; there is often no place fcf sit down; and, occasionally, the shelter is filled to capacity leaving the unfortunate outside. But there are reasons for the shelters’ design. The open bottom prevents accumulation of garbage, while the wide doorways facilitate wheelchair entry, even though people in wheelchairs are still unable to enter certain shelters. Metro’s 70 or so shelters have been around Buffalo since 1973. They are designed to be more economical than the old wooden type (one of which is still in use at the Main and Windermere loop), but are subject to the same vandalism. Writing on and defacement of the walls of the shelters still goes on today. (Ten shelters have had to be removed in various parts of the city because of repeated acts of - 140th V#*r , MCATDATLSATQMAT ORE OCAT WT SAT NMB I. II. Ill ECFMO 'FLEX* VQE * • • • vandalism.) by Jim World Spectrum Staff Writer f Our PREPARE FOR: NATL DENTAL BOARDS The Metro shelter was not designed by Metro itself, though the bus company does have control over the size of each individual shelter. Frequently, during rush hour in heavy traffic areas, downtown, for instance, the shelters are simply too small to be adequate. But Metro believes that, on the average, the shelters are large enough and that it would be foolish to increase the size of the shelter for a short peak of usage. During rush hour, the bench in the middle of the shelter located at the corner of Main and Court Streets looks conspicuous, an obvious waste of space which seats three where eight could stand. Interestingly enough, the bench belongs to the city but the shelter built around it does not. In fact, all the outdoor benches seen around town belong to the city and not to Metro. According to Vito Sportelli, a public relations man for Metro Bus, 200 more shelters are to be built in and around Buffalo within the next three years. These will not necessarily be installed at transfer junctions but at points of heaviest bus traffic or at places suggested by community action groups. The installation of these shelters is to be 80 percent federally funded and 15 percent state funded (Metro will pay the remaining five percent.) Since these proposed new shelters must comply with federal standards, any shelter that you see being built that is “wheelchairproof” should not go unreported. • NURSING BOARDS Flexible Program* ft Hour* There IS a difference!!!

The 1977-78 figures released by the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges (NASULGC) show that the median student bill at national public universities will go up 6.7 percent this academic year. This is almost parallel to the 6.6 percent nse in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the most recent 12-month period. The median total charge for undergraduate tuition, fees and room and board for state residents attending state and land-grant universities during 1977-78 will be S2108 compared to $1976 during the 1976-77 academic year. Information on median student charges was calculated by the NASULGC from survey responses received from 154 four-year campuses holding membership in the Association For state residents, undergraduate tuition and fees alone were up 7.3 percent from last year, from a median of $647 $694. to For non-residents tuition and fees jumped an astounding III percent from $1474 to $1637. Total charges for these students went up 7.1 percent, with median costs moving from $2950 to $3 158. Their charges did not increase over last year’s. The two primary reasons cited for increases In charges were inflation, mentioned by more than survey half of the respondents, and the necessity .to maintain program quality, cited by better than a third of the reporting group. Other reasons indicated by about a fourth of the respondents included: the lack of any other source of additional revenue, an inadequate state appropriation and the need to make faculty and stall salary Inflation cited For Cornell example, tuition University’s charge for an m-slate resident student is $1950. up $150 over last year. Their’s was the highest tuition reported for an in-state resident. At the other end of the scale is the of University the District Columbia, at Mt. Vernon, with a tuition charge of $169 for in state increases residents For non-state residents the highest tuition is $3638 at the of at University Vermont Burlington. There, the overall total charges are $5426 (including tuition, fees, room and board). For an in state resident at the University of Puerto Rico at Rio Piedras, the overall charges amount to $1388, the lowest reported for in-state residents ' There were only 12 campuses with charges of more than Si000 lor undergraduate tuition and lees. At the bottom of the scale, only 12 had charges below S400. NASULGC has been calculating the charges since 1969-70 and in this eight-year period resident total charges have risen 62 percent. Costs lor out-of-state students have increased 65 percent Here at SUNYAB, the NASULGC study reported that tuition and fees went up SI7 for both upper and lower division students including resident and non-resident students. The room and board charges remained the same over last year (although room and board had increased $100 the year before). Stock up The last clinic for supplies before the semester break will be on December 15 at 5:30 p.m. Application deadline for new volunteers is January 20 Computer delays Claims on mandatory insurance still unpaid Problems with the University computer system have caused lengthy delays in the payment of claims to students covered by I he mandatory Student Medical Insurance Program. A spokesperson for the Student Health Service now believes that students may begin receiving payments by December 16. The University has employed the services this year of the American Accidental & Health Insurance Company, which, unlike the company employed last year, requires a computerized list of the students covered by the program before any claims can be honored. An accurate list has not been compiled due to the delay in the reception of student tuition payment and the indefinite extension of the deadline to waive the health fee. The original fee waiver deadline was November 30. The delays have affected countless numbers of students. Many have been charged for medical services which the Health Insurance Plan of this University should have covered. Coverage began September I. 1977, or the date of enrollment in the plan, whichever was first The Program includes both “sickness” and "accident" benefits. Medical expenses cover such things as hospital room and board, emergency medicall treatment, physicians fees and such miscellaneous hospital expenses as X-rays and lab tests. This is the 18 month of Mandatory Student Health Insurance. According to Sub-Board Treasurer Dennis Black, the University instituted the program two years ago because at that time many students who were receiving emergency treatment at local hospitals and clinics, did not have Blue Cross or any other kind of health insurance. President Ketler, fearing the administration would he held liable, conferred with Student Association leaders at that time, who gave unqualified support to the idea of some sort of Mandatory Student Health Insurance policy, according to Assistant to the President Ron Stein HAPPY NEW YEAP! from your Food & Vei Wednesday, 14 December 1977 .

Transition 78: whaj lies ahead for next mayor of Buffalo? by David Levy Spectrum Stajj Writer On January 1st, 1978 in the Common Council Chambers of Buffalo City Hall, James D. Griffin will become the next Mayor of Buffalo. But Griffin will not walk into City Hall without knowing what is going on within. He has appointed a 16-member transition advisory committee to precede him into City Hall. The chairman of that advisory committee is Joseph X. Martin, former examiner for the welfare department, substitute teacher and real estate salesman. What qualifies Martin for the chairmanship is that he also served as Griffin’s campaign managei in the general election Thus Martin is almost a sure bet to become a high ranking member of the Griffin administration. Martin scores In an interview with The Spectrum. Martin refused to be pinned down on what job he might possibly occupy. “1 don’t even know if 1 will have a job in January,” he insisted, saying he has absolutely no commitment from Griffin for any job. At the moment. Marlin is busy working out of an office provided by Mayor Makowski located in his second floor suite. What the transition team will be doing in the next three weeks is “looking into each of City Hall’s departments and eventually make recommendations to the new Mayor as to what changes should be made,” said Martin. He did stress, however, that the main job of the transition team is to acquaint the new mayor with the everyday intricasies of city government. Faithful Perhaps the reason Griffin has such faith in Martin is because of the way he organized and handled the Mayor-elect’s election campaign While Artluu Lve is reported to have spent nearly $200,000 on his losing bid for the city’s top job, Griffin’s campaign made oft spending but $56,181. a measly amount in today’s mayoral marketplace. Martin explains this by saying, “We didn't rely on the media." While Eve and the Democratic machine in Buffalo were busy swamping local airwaves with advertisements, Martin was recruiting large numbers of volunteers “at the neighborhood level.” He attributes the success of the campaign to the “committed people that we had working for us." Griffin’s election campaign did not have any paid workers. Staff members were all volunteers As his campaign was run on the neighborhood level, a decision was made early to disregard a central office. Instead, the city was divided up into four zones East. West, North and South A zone chairman was later named for each of the tour districts. A University District office was later added “It's hard to imagine anyone who will not, in the end, turn on to The Turning Point' — Richard Schickel, Time Magazine “This film has it all...one of the year's big winners Gene Shalit, NBC TV Is your guy or girl the type of driver that tries to verbally communicate with other drivers on the road but usually only serves to blow your ear drums out while the other driver drives away unaffected?

The Fund will aid graduate students of the Psychology Department who are in need of short term loans. Going home Bus can get you to bus train or plane , Now that the end of the semester has arrived, thoughts turn to means of getting home for vacation. As most arrangements have already been made to get from Buffalo to wherever home is, it is time to consider how to get from campus to the point of departure without spending a small fortune in cab fare, or risking your life with a student driver of unknown ability. The only answer is by bus. Contrary to if you check the popular opinion, you can get there from here schedule first. All Metro Bus schedules are available in Room 167 Fillmore in Ellicott. Metro Bus information is at 855-7211. To get to downtown, and the new Transportation Center from Amherst, the most comfortable method is to get the Route 44A bus on Millersport Highway, as this bus takes only forty minutes to downtown, and the fare is only sixty cents. Times for the Amherst campus are shown in the schedule as Millersport/Campbell. Signal the driver that you wish to board by waving your arm as the bus - — approaches. The bus will then stop to pick you up. From Main campus take any Main bus from Main and Kenmore which is headed downtown. Another alternative from Main Campus is the Route 13 A or B buses from Bailey and Highgate which also travel on Main Street in the downtown area and terminate at the auditorium. Planes and trains To get to the airport board any 19-Bailey bus at Main campus and transfer to a 24-Genesee bus to the Airport. An alternative is to go downtown to transfer. Remember that it takes the Bailey bus about twenty minutes to get to Genesee and the same amount of time for the Genesee bus to come from downtown. Do not plan on boarding the Bailey bus after the Genesee bus has left downtown because you’ll miss the connection. If you are taking a train, and wish to take the bus to the station, plan on a 6/10 mile walk as the Route 17 buses from downtown to the terminal bear little relation to the train schedule. It is necessary to walk in from Broadway or Fillmore to the station. You can take the 19-Bailey bus and transfer to the 4-Broad way bus, or go downtown to gransfer to the Broadway or the Route 17 bus. The other alternative is to take the 23-Fillmore/Hertel bus from Main and Fillmore (at Bethune Hall) and walk to the station down Paderewski Drive. Transfers are available to the Fillmore/Hertel bus from the Main Street buses. Have a good trip.

Canisius defeated Buffalo at 78—73 the Memorial Auditorium, but not without a dog fight. The Bulls hustled, forced many Canisius turnovers, rebounded well, and post importantly, received the necessary help from the bench. Freshman Rodnay McDaniel, a 5’10” guard, came off the bench and turned in an excellent for performance Buffalo. McDaniel ignited the offense and kept UB in the ball game with ten points in the second half (14 overall). McDaniel also accounted for four assists and two steals. “Rodney did a great job for us off the bench,” said coach Leo Richardson. “As he gets better adjusted to college ball, we expect him to start for us.” “For the first time, I felt co m f ortable the controlling tempo of the game,” explained McDaniel. Center Sam Pellom regained his old form, as he hustled and clogged up the middle. Pellom grabbed a team high 12 rebounds and also led the team in scoring with 18 points. He also blocked five shots, all of which came in the second half as Buffalo began to close down Canisms’ inside unstoppable from the corner, as he popped in ten points in the first eight -minutes of action. The junior college transfer scored 16 points in the first half to lead both teams. Peaks ended up both as the game’s leading rebounder and high scorer with 17 rebounds and 29 points. For the first time this season, UB began to capitalize on second shots at the hoop and cut the Canisius lead at halftime to six. Forward Lloyd Devaux played his best half of the season, fighting for many offensive rebounds and scoring on tipins and second shots. He totaled 12 points and five rebounds at the half. Early in the second period, Ed Johnson connected from the comer to knot the game up at 46 all. The Golden Griffins quickly regained the lead on a rebound basket by freshman Ed Simmons, and Canisius held it the rest of the way. But it was a ball game. Although Buffalo never took the lead, they continued to play well. Larry Jones, who went 0—8 in the first half, scored four field goals in the second half to keep UB close. Buffalo was also aided by the hot shooting of Johnson, McDaniel, and Pellom, who scored 11, 10, and 6 points respectively in the last half. Missed chance The Bulls had one chance to cut the lead to one point. They had the ball with the score 71—68, but McDaniel missed and game. Devaux fouled Richard Walsh of The Golden Griffins of Canisius on the rebound with Canisius stormed out to a 12 3:01 left. Walsh, who scored 12 point early lead in the first half. points, missed a shot, but the Griffin Ron Peaks was Golden Griffins controlled the rebound. A field goal by Brien Toohey, followed by two free throws by Walsh made the score 75—68, which sealed the game for Canisi us with 1:30 left. Larry Jones hit a jumper at the buzzer, but it was too little too late. Richardson also feels his team played well, but lost the game at the foul line. “We missed three consecutive foul shots and it killed explained. us,” he According to McDaniel, the loss was somewhat beneficial for UB. “Win or lose, we needed a game like this. We showed that our club can play team ball and can be competitive,” he said. The basketball Bulls put on an exciting rally that just fell short, as Siena College defeated Buffalo 79-78 Monday, in Clark Hall. Buffalo, down by 18 points early in the second half, cut the lead to one with two seconds remaining on a Nate Bouie tip in, but then time ran out on the Bulls’ comeback. For the second consecutive game UB never quit, as guard Rodney McDaniel excelled to spark Buffalo’s offense. McDaniel totaled 16 points in the game, including four straight buckets in the second half to lead in the Bulls comeback attempt. Ed Johnson led the Bulls with 23 points and Sara Pellom led all rebounders with 14. Siena built a nine point edge by halftime 46-37, as Indian center Nelson Richardson was unstoppable in the middle. The 6’6" center tallied 19 points at the half, connecting on short jumpers and layups. Richardson BOULEVARD MALL Rocquetboll Hgoub pH Opening Soon!

Coach Tom Bremer was pleased that his new fencers showed great potential and stood up well under pressure. Tim Rogers, in his first competitive fencing match, won two of his three matches. Rich Sherman, another first-time fencer, won tmcc while losing his other two bouts. The veterans were also impressive. Foil Captain Jonathan Solomon won all three of his matches as did epee fencers Wayne Conrad and Ted Pawlicki. According to Solomon, if the team keeps developing at its present rate, Buffalo should win most of its matches. Solomon also expects the Bulls to be successful at the North Atlantics in Match. v Fencers want women The team is open to women. Buffalo presently has two or three women fencers, but need more females fora successful women's team. The women fencers lost all of their matches against Utica women fencers. Saturday’s match in Utica included only foil and epee fencers. The first sabre match will be against RIT on January 28. The sabre team, led by captain Michael Chin, is very experienced and should help the Bulls post a winning record. Buffalo’s next match is at RIT on January 28; their next home match is against Colgate on February 4 at 2 pjn. The team is still accepting anyone interested in fencing. With a brief period of training, anyone can become a relatively competent fencer, according to Bremer. Interested persons (especially women) should contact Bremer at 634-7521. or Visit our Booth at the Boulevard Mall, Amherst Student Membership Vi Price!

Sam Sallitt, a 180-pounder who was having his troubles at heavyweight, was shifted to 190 to replace Bertrand. The Lions used three other men at heavyweight before Swift volunteered for the job. “I was lucky." said Swift. “I tried to beat him with my quickness and stay away from his strength weight." and The experiment was a double success for Penn State because Sallitt defeated Jeff Wheeler.

The two aren’t strangers to each other; last year Becker beat Anderson 6-0 while his teammates were beating UB 30-9. ‘Home cooking' Many of the Bulls were confused about the application of the stalling rule at the meet, Usually, a lack of forward motion constitutes stalling, but Klingman was requiring the wiestlers to stay forward and make contact, according to Hadsell The Bulls were thoroughly dissatisfied with the officating (‘home cooking,’ according to Anderson) in the enemy arena. “We’re not crying sour grapes,” said Michael, who was seeking his 100th career dual meet win at UB. "I’m not saying that Penn State is not a good team and didn’t deserve to win, but this guy was brutal. He wasn't going to get into a position where the meet was in trouble.” The meet featured a unique dual between two pairs of brothers. Tom and Mike Jacoutot ot UB wrestled PSU’s Mike and Scott DcAugustino, The success ot the DeAugustino brothers upset UB’s game plan, which Tom Siiid was "lo pick off a couple ol and let the lightweights heavyweights finish them off.''

A commercial mall to be built on the site, presently in the planning stages will tentatively include a bookstore, restaurant, dry cleaning store, bank, and theater, along with the hotel. The Marriott Hotel Corporation has announced plans to build a franchise inn on a site directly across from the Amherst Campus on Maple Road. An official from the Amherst Building Office stated that the Corporation has not yet obtained a building permit. “As soon as certain requirements are met,” he said, “plans for the hotel will go through a review in the Planning Department, which will grant final approval if no problems are encountered.” When asked if the area could support two hotels, the building official replied, “It is really too early at this point to tell.” Carter stated that a hotel will inevitably be built on the Parcel B site, saying “it will be great to have, although it is not the most important thing planned.” The UB Foundation has tested the market to find out what types of commercial establishments would be interested in opening shops at the mall, according to Carter. The Foundation is now in the process of interviewing architects to design a master plan to determine lease costs and shell space costs for stores to operate in the mall. The plans are presently in a three to four month hold position, until an architect is found. “The construction of another hotel won’t alter our plans to put up a hotel at Parcel B,” Carter said. “A hotel will be great for the University.” Vice President for Facilities Planning John Telfer stated that although it may be too early to tell, the area can probably support two hotels. “There is a need for a hotel at Parcel B, so the plans for it will not be scrapped,” added Telfer. “Under ideal conditions,” Carter revealed, “groundbreaking could occur in the spring, with the possible opening of some stores in June. Money received from rental costs of store space will be used, first of all, for construction costs according to Carter. He predicted that profits would not be made from the mall for a period of four to ten years Women’s Studies College; moving towards a disaster Lb, rLvIli/ ■ wy Taltv "•y ■*/ Spectrum Staff Writer The delicate balance of the state of the Women’s Studies College (WSC) was tipped in its disfavor on November 30, when the College was denied a replacement line for Professor Ellen Dubois, who is taking a leave in January. Dubois, who was awarded a Rockefeller’s Humanities Fellowship through for January December, 1978, is one of only three faculty members in the Women’s Studies component of the Department of American Studies. Thus the loss of this line will drastically cut the program’s strength at a time when members feel faculty is desperately needed. The predicament is further compounded by the fact that Professor Lillian Robinson of WSC is presently also on leave. Offered a Rockefeller’s Humanities Fellowship for the academic year of 1977-78, as well as a visiting professorship in American Studies at the Sorbonne, she has taken an extended leave of two years. Although she has been temporarily replaced with the appointment of Professor Ann Nihlen, this line also will be in jeopardy next fall. WSC recognition The awards signify great recognition for the Women’s Studies College, the only unit in the nation to receive more than one Rockefeller grant. It is the largest and one of the oldest colleges of its kind in the United States and has served as a model for similar programs at SUNY at Albany, the University University. Syracuse and of Pennsylvania, Additionally, members of the college have contributed to the development of the National Women’s Studies Association, founded in January of 1 977, and have served as hosts for the most recent meeting of the Chancellor’s Advisory Committee for Women’s Studies. Active in the immediate community as well, the college is involved in programs at the Y.W.C.A. and the Women’s Center downtown. While these endeavors have served to broaden the role and emphasis of WSC, they require a great deal of time and energy on the part of participating faculty. Members of the college feel that if they lose even one faculty line, the quality of the programs offered will be reduced substantially. Lack of funding The onus for the acquisition of a line for WSC lies with the offices of the Provost of Arts and Letters, Dr. George Levine, and the Vice President of Academic Affairs, Dr. Ronald F. Bunn. Neither was available for comment after repeated attempts to contact them. A spokesperson for Arts and Letters has claimed that the circumstances reflect a lack of resources rather than a lack ot commitment to WSC. She explained that while everyone was impressed by the need for the college, the necessary funding was not available. Director of American Studies, Dr. John Dings, defined the situation by saying that whenever a conflict involving budgetary matters arises, it becomes a function of priorities. “They will say yes we have the money, no we don’t have the money. The University does not want us to know the extent to which one department is in competition with another for its resources.” Dings also felt that the real issue was one of the administration of faculty lines. “Women’s Studies College is victimized by a University policy that makes it impossible to have automatic replacement. This policy won’t work for small programs,” he said. Thus, as spokespersons for the college noted, the very existence of WSC is at best, precarious. Faculty and students protest Since the refusal of a faculty line for the college was announced, students and faculty within WSC have allied to publicize the seriousness of the situation. Their position, as WSC coordinator Sherri Darrow related, is that since 1972, there have been three guaranteed faculty lines within the Department of American Studies set aside solely for the Women’s Studies component. Subsequently, additional faculty positions for any further growth have not been available. “Now we have to fight just to maintain the program,” she declared. The College’s plight is a direct result of priorities within the University system, according to Darrow Emphasizing the excellence of the program exemplified in.-both its regional and national ties, she felt the a line was a slight to women presently studying here. The forfeiture of the Women’s Studies prospectus, which developes the feminist viewpoint on a consistent, continual basis, would create a great void within the educational organization at this University, she asserted. Other spokespersons revealed fears that such action would set a precedent for the denial of funds to other relatively new or small programs. Undergraduate Barbara Collins remarked, “It’s not as though apologies have to be given for this program at all. In all our classes, student response has been enormous. I can’t imagine that in other, larger departments.” WSC is scheduled to undergo a re-chartering process in January. Faculty participation is necessary for a continued charter. Members of the college hope that as people within and around the University community are informed of the circumstances involving the deposition of faculty lines, the college will obtain support necessary to win its fight for existence —Jenson A "thing" from the depths stops to pose as he leaves Goodyear Hall on his way to get lost in Friday's storm, followed by someone who put his hood on to celebrate winter.

Wilkeson scared by T’in elevator The Boston Strangler it wasn’t But The Pub did less business and University Police sent its Special Problems force of six men to patrol the halls of Wilkeson Quad and to beef up its normal observation of the Pub area. Rumor had it that Jeanne Dixon had predicted a bloody murder on December 10, 1977 in a dormitory connected with the letter “F” of a large northeastern university. Sometime last week, grafitti scrawled in black magic marker promising just that appeared in the Wilkeson elevator. Wilkeson is the “F” quad. Univeristy Police and the Amherst Police were quickly notified. The alleged Dixon prediction was never documented in print by anyone. “Some of the rumors around here were outrageous,” said Wilkeson Head Resident John Smith. He reported that it was a “quiet night” in Wilkeson and “not unusual.” One Wilkeson resident estimated that about 50 people slept in other dorms for the night. ‘1 had my tennis racket near my bed,” she commented, adding that “large scale co-ed sleeping and a lot of parties” occurred. Another resident noted “an air of being scared,’ saying that many people stayed in groups and that “everyone was talking about it.” A normal Saturday night in Wilkeson Quad it was not, but fortunately nothing happened, and so a normal Monday morning it is.

As far as anyone riding bus 164 at 12:15 on Friday was concerned, the Blizzard of ’77 Part II had arrived. High winds and heavy snowfall combined to produce zero visibility. The normal 20-mmute bus ride from Ridge Lea took 40 minutes instead. Shown is Hayes Hall slowly sinking into the blinding snow Friday. The building reappeared Saturday, but the two students contemplating its future did not. Bare trees watched the show, spering no sentiment thereon. Friday’s blizzard left motorists, students, professors and state employees stranded. Taking their own initiative, 25 or so Clement and Goodyear students alleviated possible massive traffic tie-ups on Bailey Avenue in front of the dormitories when they aided motorists who were hopelessly struggling to work their way up the incline. Braving 40 mile an hour winds, students pushed dozens of cars up the snow-clogged street for more than two hours. At this time, The Spectrum wishes to express its admiration to those students who unselfishly gave their time and energy and thus averted what could have become an emergency situation. Students brought dogs with them Friday afternoon to tend against the packs of hungry wolves that roamed the Main Street Campus until tha snow stopped falling. The two students in the Some riders called it a challenge, others an adventure. Most of the students remained in good humor; in fact, the blizzard seemed to bring out a wit almost as biting as the cold. Most of the jokes were aimed at the unlikely fact of having the bus and its approximately 40 riders snowbound for the remainder of the storm. Two students, Gary Reitmeier and Leeann lodice, suggested satirically that “the bus lines should equip each bus with a supply of rations for the winter or have standing orders to put into any place that serves food ” What was obvious to all on the bus was that the traction was getting worse as the bus neared the Main Street campus. Several times on the Bailey hill the bus was barely able to keep up its forward layer of ice covered with loose snow, offering nothing for the tires to bite into. Surmounting that problem, the bus crossed Main Street only to confront a line of cars and trucks either reduced to a snail’s pace or vainly spinning their wheels. Several times a group of motion.

But no sooner had we entered the Diefendorf Loop, than we were swarmed by a mob of freezing, snow-covered students who mistook the Bluebird bus as their transport back to a warm Ellicott.

Monday, 12 December 1977 - �Area *hardship 9 cited NFG price increase attacked New York State s Public Service Commission (PSC) began hearings last Tuesday concerning a 2 percent rate increase requested by National Fuel Gas (NFG). NFG insists that the rate-hikes are necessary to the “economic well being of the company,” but this contention was sharply criticized by attorney Paul Hudson of the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG). Hudson’s claim was that any increase in fuel rates would be a “distinct hardship on this area’s residents, who have already had to pay an exhorbitant amount in full costs due to last year’s harsh Winter.” He further stated that there was every indication to believe, that “this winter is going to be a bad one as well.” Hudson pointed out that outside of City Hall’s Common Council chambers, a heavy snowstorm was belting the city in the same way storms had sent heating costs soaring last year. He reminded the Commission that a large number of NFG customers had their service cut off earlier this vear due to an inability to pay their high heating bills. The hearing, held in the Council Chambers, was sparcely attended because of the snow storm raging outside. Another problem was that the PSC insists on holding its hearings during the day time, causing problems for people who work during those hours. NYPIRG’s plan One of NYPIRG’s and composition of the gas that NFG supplies its Normally, natural gas costs between $1.25 and $2.50 per cubic feet. This gas is composed almost entirely of the hydrocarbon gas methane, plus another gas, so that if a leak occurs it can be detected by smell. Normally, natural gas has no smell of its own. A similar gas can be produced synthetically having all of the same qualities of natural gas, but costing substantially more: about $3.50 per cubic feet. customers. Approximately 7 percent of the gas NFG supplies to its local customers is this more expensive, synthetic gas mixed in with the natural gas, obtained from the well. This, NFG officials claim, causes the company to charge higher rates because of the costs included. NYPIRG proposes that the synthetic gas be sold to industrial users at its own high rate while natural gas is sold to residential users at its much lower rate. Most industrial fuel in this area is not natural gas because during a gas shortage, industrial users are the first to be curtailed. Even though synthetic gas is more expensive than natural gas, it is still competitive with other forms of energy such as coal and fuel oil for industrial use. held proposals concerned the cost Hearings on the proposals will continue to be for some time. Presently there are no indications which way the PSC will decide in the matter. Joel DiMarco Commentary The great energy nightmare by Jay Rosen Managing Editor Three years ago at this time, the nation drifted uneasily into its first unlit Christmas since Edison came up with his better idea. With a concern for the future pushed painfully along by two hour waits Americans gas pumps, at everywhere left Christmas lights unplugged and dutifully turned thermostats down to extra-sweater levels. This holiday will bring no such Americans will gloom. incandescently indulge in the Christmas spirit at the expense of record wattage, while the spirit of sobriety that moved the nation to genuine attempts at conserving energy flickers faintly. We have, quite simply, slid back into the throes of energy extravagance with self-convincing more astigmatism than ever. — America’s gargantuan appetite for energy, only slightly abated by the nausea of the Arab oil embargo, is swallowing up record of amounts and imported domestic a oil, staggering one-third of the world’s consumption rate. This new edition of the energy crisis is a much and perplexing more potentially dangerous one than 1973’s.

The most immediate crisis must be faced by the Carter is to convince American public that the British really are coming, i.e., that energy shortages are real and not some corporate reverie.

And the lesson has gone too far for our own good. The public ear It is fast approaching time to ask: Will Americans react to Inescapable image anything but price? Under all but the most extreme circumstances, such as a World War, the answer appears to be a flat “no.” According to polls most people first refuse to term the energy then situation “serious” For consume accordingly. whatever reasons, the Government and the media have not convinced enough of us of the need to make a conscious effort to conserve. American business for its part, has often been of no help, telling an eagerly tuned public’s ear that the real need is not to use less, but to find more. Certain politicians have helped this counter-productive and thinking along. This of twisting supply-demand argument the is of a emblematic more rudimentary energy problem. Can a society absolutely devoted to the concept of More be expected to make room for these urgings of Less?

What is needed is the “strong moral leadership” Carter promised so much of (and has to a large extent delivered) assumed by other groups that mold American thinking Congress, Big Business, Mass Media. The image of the energy crisis, right now about as painful as a nicked finger, must be firmly established as real and inescapable. Monetary incentives to cut back consumption must be and made upgraded easily available to the average citizen. Since a great deal of energy usage is unseen, there is a need for constant reminders of how much fuel we are burning monthly bills are not disturbing enough. Our society must be convinced and energy assured that conservation will be self-rewarding or at least self-saving. It is time for a general waking from the American Dream.

No one was seriously injured, although two University Police officers were taken to Sister’s Hospital for observation because of smoke inhalation The residents were evacuated at approximately 7:30 p.m. after the room and wing filled with black smoke. Although still under investigation, the cause of the fire is rumored to be that candles lit, in observance of the Jewish holiday, Chanukah, ignited the furniture in the room. The official report states that “there was not extensive fire damage, although there was extensive smoke damage.” The chain of events began when a resident of the floor saw smoking curling under the door. A Resident Advisor opened the door and checked to see that no one was in it, but fire extinguishers could not be used to overcome the smoke. Four trucks of the Buffalo Fire Department arrived approximately 12 minutes after the call came in, at approximately 7:35 p.m. and proceeded to put out the fire, which was not under control when the firemen arrived. Although the full extent of the damage has not been determined, water used in fighting the fire seeped into the two adjacent rooms and leaked through to the third floor.

Page five �EDITORIAL 4 hr **- Faculty for Women's Studies Women's Studies College, at this University, the largest women's studies unit at any school in the country, is in trouble. Ironic is that its possible demise should be brought on by the outstanding academic achievement of two of its faculty members; blind and unresponsive would be this University's administration if it does not take immediate steps to restore fully this outstanding academic program. Women at the College fought with Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn for months last year and won a one year replacement for Lillian Robinson, who received not only a Rockefeller Award but also a visiting professorship at the Sorbonne in Paris, and will thus not return until September 1979. Ellen DuBois also received a Rockefeller Award and will be on leave from January 1978 until January 1979. No funds have as yet been granted by the Administration to insure a replacement for DuBois. Thus, Women's Studies full-time faculty, which numbered three and comes from the American Studies Department, has effectively been cut by one third. Approximately 25 courses were offered by Women's Studies this semester, taught by faculty, members of the community, graduate students and, in some cases, undergraduates. A course such as 'Women and Alcohol," taught by an expert in the field from the Buffalo community must have some faculty supervision, as must all seven or "Women in eight sections of the introductory course are taught by which Contemporary Society" — — undergraduates. A bare minimum of three full-time faculty members is definitely needed to at least allow the College to function as it may, which has been very successfully. A letter requesting another meeting between American Studies and the office of the Vice President to discuss the cut lines has been sent to Bunn. Women's Studies officials are eagerly awaiting a response to that letter Bunn and the Provost of Arts and Letters, George Levine, should make their decision, if they haven't made it already, this semester regarding funding for an additional faculty line, and the University public should know of that decision. The alternative forces of this University must join hands to appeal to what is the majority of people here to save Women's Studies College. A plea from and for such a nationally recognized program should not fall on deaf ears.

EASTBRO 60P ISWT OOP HV Womens Studies threatened again To the Editor There is a program on this campus that is one of oldest and largest of its kind nationally. Throughout its history it has been a leader in its field and has been a model for other such programs in the United States. It has been committed to fighting for women and against sexism in an effort to transform the University to meet our needs. This program is Women’s Studies College. We are telling you this because Women’s Studies College is facing a crisis. This is the present situation Women's Studies College has had the valuable input and partticipation of 3 faculty members from the Department of American Studies since 1972. Last year 2 of these women, Lillian Robinson and Ellen DuBois received recognition Rockefeller awards of their in outstanding work in the field of Women’s Studies. In addition, Lillian Robinson received a visiting professorship at the University of Pans, the Sorbonne. This means that Prof. Robinson, who assumed the Paris position in Sept 1977, will be gone until Sept. 1979. Prof. Ellen DuBois will be on leave from Jan. 1978 to Jan. 1979. We fought for 5 months last spring to receive a one year replacement for Lillian Robinson. At this time we have been denied the funds with which to hire a replacement for Ellen DuBois. This means a 1/3 cut in our faculty resources as of Jan. ’78. In addition, we have no euarantee that Lillian the exll by Jay Rosen I don 7 know why I even care We’ll get so high and get nowhere Billy Joel I’ve been inscribing this column for six months 22 times I’ve typed the letters F-X-l-L-F at the top of a virgin white sheet of paper and spewed forth my at times promiscuous point of view In that time a lot of previously unbuttered popcorn has passed through my brain, that is I learned a lotta new things. In half a year of staining this rag, my perceptions of this University have been altered, influenced and amended innumerable times. I have also 1 might add, had a helluva time. I now have a much clearer view of what a University really is, or should be, and what this particular University is, or should be. What truly astounds me is how many undergraduates here don’t even scratch the surface of this school. Far, far too many of you walk aimlessly around the grounds, not bothering to even knock let alone breeze your way in. You admire the view, pay your bill, meet your girlfriend in the parking lot, step on the gas, and you’re off each day, leaving the University untouched and undisturbed. Alright, so many of you read the personals in The Spectrum, hoping some secret admirer is gonna put one in for you. That does not constitute “involvement.” 1 hate to say this, but you know who you are Most of you are commuters. You had good marks and a lot of friends in high school, whom you still cling to. You go to your lectures, perhaps stop off for some studying at the library, maybe grab a cup of coffee in the cafeteria and leave, vanished into the suburban wilds. Well, the things I’ve absorbed by (I hate to say this also) “getting involved” cannot be found in Diefendorf 148, or the Bailey lot. Most dorm students are almost as guilty. You grab a lot of buses, you know a lot of people on your floor, you go to IRC movies, you study a lot, you eat a lot of onion rolls, your biggest weekend now. Robinson’s replacement will be funded for the second year of her leave. Obviously this jeopardizes the Women’s Studies program on this campus. It is ironic that this recognized excellence has resulted in the undermining of our program Three Women’s Studies faculty in American Studies is the bare minimum necessary to maintain the quality of our Women’s Studies program. We feel that it should be a priority for the University to guarantee this minimum. Therefore, we are asking for a meeting with Ronald Bunn, Vice President of Academic Affairs, before the end of this semester. We are prepared to fight for this basic guarantee We need your support in this struggle. Sign our petitions and tell your friends. (Petitions should be picked up at and returned to WSC, 108 Winspear and 376 Spaulding.) If we are unable to get the necessary support of the University after meeting with the Vice President, we may have to continue into the spring semester. We will keep you posted of new developments or contact WSC for more information. Help us exert whatever pressure on the administration that is needed to guarantee that Women’s Studies will be able to exist beyond June Help us through the Struggle 1 08 Winspear, 83 1-3405/06 376 Spaulding Bldg 4, 636-2598 Diane Carr Linda Picri c Indrea Setgman activity is going grocery shopping University, you hardly know it As (or the Both of you do a lot of complaining about being treated like a number, but. in turn lead numerical lives You complain about not getting your $67 worth out of student fees but appropriately know nothing about where the fee goes and don’t have initiative to find out. This is all such a tired old tune that it is hardly worth playing Yet I must say. that if anything has disillusioned me about this University, beside the you-know-what campus, it is the isolation in which most students here exist. There are so many intellectual treasures here, so easily unearthed, yet most of you don't bother bringing a shovel It’s very depressing 1 have enjoyed writing this thing through At times it’s been a bit innocuous and a bit pointless 1 must admit, but all in the spirit of good fun I’m a little disappointed in not receiving more criticism in written form, so I hereby invite all readers to write vicious letters of protest, or anything for that matter, pertaining to the Exile I promise all will be filed in one place or another. Many people have urged me to leave that certain campus alone. With all due respect to those windblown souls, 1 must say that 1 have yet to say all there is to say about that place so it will inevitably creep into this space from time to time, hopefully not at a nauseating rate Coming attractions for next semester include A *T h i ngs-l-know-about-a-cert am-highly ranked-student-official-but-never-pnnted column.

I wish everyone an enjoyable holiday season and also welcome all students to work for The Spectrum next year. { �FEEDBACK Guest Opinion by Raju Third World Student Association In my last letter, “Speek Engleesh An explanation”, I maintained that the problem raised by Judy Abramowitz is linked to the nature of universities today and the larger social constraints that go to characterize it. Now, 1 am faced with two questions. The first, is why does education receive such a shabby treatment. The second, is why there are a number of foreign students and foreign people in this country, I think both these questions are closely interrelated and are determined by the role of the United States in the present day world. To many it may appear that I am raising an external, unrelated political issue now. But I believe that this fact - determines the basic characteristics of the whole of the American society including the university. Consequently, understanding without developing of this question, we an cannot attempt at any real solutions to the problems at hand. Let me explain how. The pattern of a relatively large foreign student present in universities is not peculiar to this University alone. It is a common feature of almost all of the major universities in this country. Everyone knows that most foreign students come countries. The developed countries can provide for their younger population relatively better educational opportunities, job opportunities, and a better standard of life. All these are more or less absent in the underdeveloped countries. For centuries, the countries of the present-day underdeveloped world from underdeveloped have been robbed of their resources and wealth as colonized countries. And even today, most of them continue to face economic plunder by the superpowers of the world through maintenance of various forms of jieo-colonial relations. This has fundamentally affected the nature of their development, contributed to their backwardness, and eliminated the possible building in their countries of self-reliant economies. Largely on the plunder of this underdeveloped world, the wealth of this empire and of the developed world, has been built. So it is no wonder that people from colonized countries choose to go to the countries of their colonizers in order to better their lives. Prior to the second World War, Britain was the dominant imperialist power. So people from South Asia, from Atnca, from the West Indies, etc., flocked to Britain Since World War 11, the United States has decisively displaced Britain as a global power And now more people from all over the world dash towards the United States. What is the significance of this phenomenon to the U S ? A number of students who come here are from the elite segments of their countries. While some of them end up staying here, the remaining return to their countries to occupy positions of power and influence. If one looks at the people who wield political power, those who are entrenched in the state and in judicial structures, those holding powers within controlling armed and those forces, the educational and financial institutions in many of these underdeveloped countries one finds that they belong to this elite segment and many have spent parts of their lives in the imperialist countries. And they serve the interests of imperialism and form the key elements in the formal structures of present-day neo-colonialism. because So the United States needs these people their role is crucial to the global interests of U.S. - imperialism Secondly, those who come to this country either as students or as professionals are those who have had basic training and education in their own countries. So the United States can get a ready supply of trained personnel (even if some of them may not be adequate significantly in and without having for opportunities invest teachers) without having to education within the U.S., to open up educational American people. Also, foreigners come at cheap “prices” and so it is more profitable to have them. The “education industry” could carry on research and “teaching” with cheap labor of foreign students. The public health system (which largely utilizes foreigners, at least in NY State) could run with minimally paid foreign Health Services unnoticed To the Editor doctors and industrial jobs could be taken up by lowly paid foreign engineers and managerial personnel. Also it helps to keep the wages or salaries down for all working people, the American population included, given the large labor pool made of available foreigners. Then there are the foreigners who come to this country as unskilled laborers. They are being utilized to do unsafe, often inhumane jobs at measely wages, denied the rights to organize and harassed perpetually by the state. To the powers in control of U.S. economy, the economic advantages are so large that they are glad to keep a section of permanent “illegal immigrants” in this country. While the imperialist interests have everything to gam as I have cited before, the Third World countries are continuing to be plundered and the more active internal economy of the U.S. has begun to assume parasitic features. I mentioned befory that if only the vast resources, wealth and people of the Third World countries could be used for their own development, they would not have remained underdeveloped. Similarly, if the capital exported and invested abroad could be invested within the U.S., and if U.S. stops its utilization of cheap labor resources from abroad, while it may not lead to maximum profits for American monopolies, it will boost the economic conditions of American people, and create immense educational opportunities and training facilities for American people. Every action in the short term interests of U.S. imperialism is thus inherently against the short term and long term interests of the American people and the peolpe of the world. I don’t think it is difficult for anyone to see clearly that the lack of adequate American students opting for higher education in engineering, in sciences, etc., the poor quality university education, restricted entry of students into universities, professional schools, etc., are bound to unfavorably affect the future development of this country. As long as U.S. unperialism finds the existing situation most profitable, it would not have to worry about these features developing internally within parasitic American society The most important fact that 1 want others to understand is that it is the global role of the United States as an imperialist power that created the present situation, and it is the same global role that needs now the continuance of this situation. As long as the U S. exists as an imperialist power, this situation will not change whether it affects ordinary American public or not. In the recent years more and more American people are beginning to feel in one way or another the internal impact of the role of the U S as an Faced with the internal imperialist power pressures generated by American working people, those who wield turn people’s power dissatisfaction against minorities, foreigners, etc., and save themselves from being the fundamental targets of attack So Allan Bakke thinks that 40,000 qualified white Americans cannot become doctors because there is a quota of 1000 positions for minorities, a worker in a Buffalo plant thinks that foreign imports is the sole cause for his layoff, some others think foreign students, professionals and illegal immigrants are the problems, etc. Given this situation, U S. imperialism has nothing to be displeased with as long as people do not identify it as the principal target of attack. Taken as a whole, the U S. can in no way exist as an imperialist power and yet, at the same time exclude the presence of large numbers of foreigners Consequently, what may happen is that a single department, say Chemistry, a single faculty, for example Natural Sciences, or even a single university, such as this one can improve restrictions on foreigners. Or, in a single profession, like medicine, restrictions may be imposed on entry of foreign professionals. Or, it can be in one or the other of the industrial sector or geographical region, etc. This is the limit of any changes that can possibly be made, imperialism should be defeated by the people of the world, including impreiahsm should be defeated by the people of the world, including A mencan people Only then. can countries build self-reliant maintain their independence and economies, interact with each other on equal terms and without the problems of the present times. We, the Registered Nurses who man the University Health Service on the Amherst Campus, would like to respond to the current rash of seemingly derogatory articles in The Spectrum concerning the lack of proper health care at this campus. We respect and support any efforts directed toward obtaining an ideal Health Service here. However, it appears that much of our present services have gone unnoticed. Is this office incompetent simply because it is staffed “only by nurses”? Perhaps we could hear from students who have come to us for care and never had to go any further for treatment. Judging by our statistics they have to be numerous. We are fortunate in having a well-equipped facility, open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, whenever the dorms are open. Many colleges and universities do not have any health personnel on duty after 5 p.m. daily. Students at these schools must find their own way to the nearest Emergency Room of a hospital. How about many of our students who live in apartments too far away to come to the Health Service at night? At least each of our campuses has some health professional on duty at all times. Our standing orders cover the usual complaints of college age students, and there is always a physician and a psychiatrist who can be reached by phone for consultation. Despite inferences to the contrary, we are as prompt as humanly possible in responding to emergency calls. This is possible due to the cooperation of the Campus Police and a radio transmitter in our office for fast communication. Students at Amherst are fortunate in having a Health facility under their very roof. Does your doctor at home make house calls evenings, nights, weekends, and holidays? Why is our chief problem at Amherst that of obtaining transportation off the campus for the sick or injured student continuously overlooked? tven if there were a physician here we would be no more effective in obtaining needed transportation. If these comments indicate we are looking for occasional praise, rather than constant criticism, that is our intention Amherst Campus Health Service Nurses EXCEPT FOR THOSE OF US WHO ARE ABOVE IT* O 1977 herblock Monday, 12 December 1977 . The Spectrum . Page seven �Rosen in Waco Rivera and PODER to your directory to jot it of the officers before this letter was written and our concern is not how much money is spent, but on what worthwhile effort. BSU is part of the minorities on this cmapus, but there are others. We can not accept their reason for College of Urban Studies co-sponsoring because Mr. Rivera is half-Jewish, since this whole matter is as he has stated “not a racial issue.” PODER is a functioning organization with many varied events and many co-sponsorships with other groups on this campus. We do not like to be humored but understood. It is really unnecessary and a waste of time and effort. We are a workable organization and open to suggestions, help and comradeship in any form, as long as it is constructive. We are trying to bridge the gaps but there is always an obstacle that is in the way, or put there. Let us try to be more sensitive to each other’s needs and stop playing games. Hopefully this can be resolved so that this gap will be closed for once and for all. Next is the issue with BSU. We did speak to one PODER Organization To the Editor. First of all, we doubtfully accept Mr. Hartzband’s apologies. Since it was obviously clear that we were serious in our letter, Mr. Hartzband’s letter is questionable. Let us clear the air, once and for all (since it seems to be that this issue has been taken that lightly). What is doubtful is that, how can you contract any individual without being assured of what the speaker will be speaking on (Box or Circle). Now let us get to the crux of the matter. We know that Mr. Rivera is half-Jewish and Puerto Rican, what we can’t figure out is how one of your associates (we’d rather not mention names) stated that no one knew he was Puerto Rican. Come on now, who are we kidding? With a name like Rivera? Even if his lecture was not to be a racial issue (which Remember?) was never clear from the beginning that is not important. What is important is the fact that our office is in Squire Hall and our number is in die directory but Speakers Bureau doesn’t know that - (and please down now). don’t Tun m Fresh and Ught Barry To the Editor. This is in response to the letter appearing in Friday’s The Spectrum, “dumping” on weatherman Barry Lillis. I would like to ask Mr. O’Brien if he ever, but ever, laughs. Does he ever, in a wild abandon, dance, sing, make silly faces, or anything else? What kind of person cannot understand, even enjoy, a little levity? From my observation and comparison of the three major weather telecasts, Mr. Lillis’ presentation is one of the most informative and comprehensive presentations of the three mqor networks. Extensive explanation of weather patterns and exactly what is causing the weather is the rule. The satellite map isn’t simply flashed before the t.v. audience for 2 seconds, but is shown in motion, depicting the currents and cloud motion. Forecasts are given for specific areas of the country, not just the general Buffalo area. The proven correctness of the forecasts, or error, are no matter, for weathercasting is not a perfected art, for Barry, Keven, or Tom. No other station, especially Channel .7, gives such comprehensive coverage. If Mr. O’Brien cannot tolerate the comic relief, then perhaps he should either ignore it, concentrating on the facts given, or watch Channel 7, where he can see Tom cavort in the parking lot. Only Channel 4 can approximate such extensive coverage, and much of their time is taken up with “Weather with a Beat,” which, while interesting, does nothing to inform me of local events weatherwise. Barry’s fresh and light presentation of the weather, along with its factual content, is highly desirable. If Mr. O’Brien is one of those who “hates bad weather” as I suspect, he surely should appreciate levity. Especially during the blizzard, Mr. Lillis’ and an presentations were a delight to behold event to look forward to. At one point during the 3rd or 4th day of the blizzard, when being housebound was no longer a novelty, and many faces were drawn and downcast, Barry urged us to go to our mirrors, make a silly face, and try not to laugh. I tried it. It worked I laughed for several minutes over the ridiculousness of it all. A tried and true remedy for the “downs” laughter. One of the contributing factors to Barry’s fresh presentations seems to be that he likes weather. Weather in general with ail its many ramifications. I, too, like weather. I’m sure Mr. O’Brien simply finds, it an inconvenience, or worse. I’m tired of all the complainers who let snow, rain, or anything but sunshine ruin their days and lives. Why can’t they find beauty in fresh snow, gentle rain, a restful cloudy day? Why can’t they be awed by nature’s power? Barry and 1 can. And I’m sure the “friendly” people of Buffalo, who may not be able to, can appreciate it a little more when presented with intelligence and a smattering of clowning. The point being made here is that there is absolutely nothing wrong with a little light, comedy - — - relief. It makes life more bearable sometimes. Anyone who considers themselves too “city sophisticated” to relax and make faces for the sheer joy of it once in a while is a sorry individual indeed. You, Mr. O’Brien, who have overlooked the information presented because of affrontery by Barry’s comedy, have my sympathy. Pam Morgan To the Editor Though I was generally impressed by the fairness and accuracy of your news article on the present situation at Stony Brook’s newspaper, Statesman, I was puzzled by one reference that your newspaper made. The name A.J. Troner as the appelation of a former managing editor is no more unlikely than A.J. Liebling as a famous critic; A.J. Foyt as a famous racing car driver or A.J, Carter as a not so famous Newsday reporter. 1 imagine that if the author of this piece who happens to be named Rosen lived in Waco, Texas, then that would be an “unlikely name.” A.J Troner Former Managing Editor of Statesman Dorm students ripped To the Editor: In Friday’s mail every dorm student who is a customer of the phone company received a letter stating that their services can be suspended for the Christmas Holiday simply by sending back the enclosed card. The letter then stated that students would not be charged the 312.75 monthly service, but would be credited for the days their phone was off. The letter continues that the charge for restoration is $10.00 (subject to the pending rate change). The reason for suspending service is given as preventing unauthorized use of the phone while students are away. Considering that the dorms are locked during vacation, and students themselves would be hard pressed to find a way to get into their own rooms, the chances of someone using the phone seems slim. However, in past years dorm students have disconnected their phones because it resulted in a savings ranging from approximately $5.00 to $8.00. This year the rate for restoring service has increased from $2.33 on the Amherst Campus and from $3.50 on Main Street, to $10.00. (1 spoke to the woman responsible for the letter and she said that this increase “only reflects the inflationary costs of the New York Phone Company.”) The point is that anyone who returns the card now wiltyfind themselves paying MOR£ than they woulcTif-tliey simply lAavd fheir photiw'mrifieo on! If a student has the phone disconnected for three weeks or less, he or she will pay at least $1.00 more than they would normally pay. This figure is based the $10.00 restoration charge. The phone company’s representative hinted that the “subject to change” phrase actually means that the charge will probably be more. So most likely everyone who has their service disconnected will pay at least $14.00 on instead of $12.75. Don’t give Ma Bell another chance to rip you off! Before you return the card saying you request your service be suspended, calculate the charges and be sure that you won’t be paying more than you have to pay. Katie Decent LUUs off Kotansky Does Food Service care? To the Editor. Barry Lillis is Channel 2’s colorful weather reporter, whose antics entertain and appall his Buffalo audience. He is also the center of much controversy, as shown in four past issues of The Spectrum. Why? (643-anything) is available for this service. If Barry Lillis’ actions intimidate Mr. O’Brien and his supporters, they have a variety of other choices to refer to. In my opinion, Barry Lillis is an interesting speaker, who knows his business. His job is to help TV2’s ratings, and'he does. Finally, 1 can’t see the relevance between a single weather reporter and the potential of Buffalo Next time, try a topic that is more important. 1 can see the point of arguing over anti-abortion laws, or ID card mistakes, but a simple Buffalo weatherman? Obviously, Mr. O’Brien is not well informed. There are three local television stations Timothy Greene and numerous radio stations that provide weather information. In addition a phone number P.S. If you can’t say something halfway decent about a decent guy, keep your opinions to yourself. Zany Lillis To the Editor. This letter is offered in response to William O’Brien, whose comments were printed in the December 2 issue of The Spectrum. Mr. O’Brien declared that Barry Lillis is a “jackass.” O’Brien is entitled to his opinion, but I feel he is taking life too seriously. Mr. Lillis is an experienced announcer and weatherman who was born and raised in the Buffalo area. He does the weather on Channel 2 every night except Saturday. He is a delight to watch for those of us who appreciate a blend of weather information and slapstick comedy. His zany antics have greatly improved WGR TV2’s ratings, and if you will note, Channel 7 has added a similar character, one Don Polec. The three news stations in Buffalo are always in competition with each other and I feel this affords the viewer to select the program that best suits his taste. For those of you who enjoy news with the serious touch, tune in Channel 4. Channel 7 offers the weather outside, where you can see Tom Jolls freeze to death. For those who enjoy informative news with a personal touch, Channel 2 is your best bet. Edward D Blizard, Jr To the Editor Can the readers of The Spectrum handle one more Food Service critique? Certainly one of the big topics at dinner time in the dorms is food quality how “I’ve gotta get off Food Service next semester.” But 1 wonder if these people have noticed and the new innovations instituted in recent weeks in those hallowed halls of hunger. For example, how about the trial extension of dinner hours in some halls to T 7:00 pm? Just what some of us have been pushing for for a long time! Also, is it my imagination or is there a disproportionate number of “special dinners” now as the end of the semester draws near? And “deli sandwishes”!! Probably the best thing to happen to lunch since the invention of the napkin! There are even considerate little notices on the tables now reminding us that, should we miss a meal, we needn’t go hungry. This all seems very noble, of course, but remember, it won’t be long ’til you have to sign that paper and fork over those bucks for next semester. Could there be a connection here? Might FVS want to leave you with a better-than-nauseated impression when you have to decide whether or not to be on contract next semester? Actually, I hope that my suspicions are completely unfounded; that Food Service really cares? that their interests are in student service and satisfaction. I can’t wait to see how many of these improvements continue next semester. Scott Heiland Page eight. The Spectrum Monday, 12 December 1977 . �CFC sponsors One- to-One for retarded The theme is “The Holidays.” People wander around the brightly lit Fargo Cafeteria, one group clustered around a piano, another surrounding a girl dressed as Raggedy Ann who is making balloons into hats, animals, or a mixture of both. Later, student magician Abe Steier performs, blending the arts of mime and sleight-of-hand. There is a Santa Claus skit featuring “A1 Tiano and his Elves.” When dinner is served, it is suddenly Thanksgiving: luckless turkeys, taken in the very act of congratulating themselves for seeing the dawn of December first, adorn the table. That was the agenda for the Clifford Furnas College One-to-One for the Mentally Retarded, held last Sunday at Fargo Quad. About 40 mentally retarded children of all ages participated. They came from families and foster homes all over Buffalo. The event might have more aptly been titled “Two-to-One” since 70 CFC students were involved, each pair having been assigned to one child as companions for the afternoon. ‘It’s worthwhile’ Cathy Yalowich, an Occupational Therapy major, was Program Coordinator for this year’s One-to-One. Also involved was Dave Weitzman. The cooks who prepared the dinner were Steven Jayson (a chef at the Hyatt Hotel in Toronto), Kathy Scunk and Carol Yerkovich. “The program was originated to give students in health-related professions some volunteer experience in working with the mentally retarded,” said Yalowich. The program is four years old, and was organized through the efforts of Margie Liu (nee Eichel). She contacted local schools who gave her the names of parents that might be interested in such a program for their children. The One-to-One has been growing ever since, and now also includes a program for senior citizens. This year’s One-to-One was funded mostly by CFC student fees. Area supermarkets donated food. “We try to plan original programs,” Yalowich said. “This year is no exception.” Volunteer Sylvia Brown commented, “Working on the One-to-One is the most worthwhile thing I’ve done all year.” -Eric Martens jtat , JEWEL R Y.

The purpose of BEOG is to provide students with a “foundation” of financial aid to help defray the costs of post-secondary education such as tuition, fees, room, board, books, supplies, and miscellaneous expenses. To be eligible to receive a Basic Grant, a student must attend an eligible institution, must be enrolled in an eligible program, and be a United States citizen or on an immigrant visa. For the 1978-79 academic all year, undergraduate students may apply for BFOG. Student eligibility is based on financial need and is determined by a formula applied consistently to all applicants. The formula is developed by the U.S. Office of Education and is reviewed by Congress on an annual basis, and is used solely for purposes of determining the amount of a student’s Basic Grant award. To Iowa and back Basic Grants are determined on the basis of financial need and on scholastic performance. The University calculates the amount that the student is eligible to receive, according to his index number and the applicable budgeted expenses. This year the amount of the grant ranges from $226 to $1400. Next year the maximum is expected to be raised to $1600. The legislation which authorizes the Basic Grant Program stipulates that a Basic Grant award cannot exceed one-half of the costs of education. The BEOG awards are grants and do not require repayment. It is now possible to request a BEOG grant on the Financial Aid Form, but regular applications are still available. It takes between four to six weeks for a student to receive an answer on his eligibility from the BEOG Office in Iowa. The answer, known as the Student Eligibility Report, has to be turned into the Financial Aid Office of the school which the student plans to attend. In the SUNY system, the checks have to be vouchered by the individual universities, are generated in Albany, and sent to the Office of Student Accounts for distrubition to the individual student It takes at least six weeks for such a process. Grants are disbursed in two installments, one for the Fall and one for the Spring.

The first of these bills was introduced into the State Senate in 1973 and has since suffered the fate of each of the other bills; all are still in committee. Each of the bills involves a different method of testing, from ranging computerized multiple choice tests to a form of testing in the presence of a trained psychologist. Such psychological tests include measurements of time, reaction irritability, temperment and even a method of identifying many of an individual person’s fears. Other bills include applying these tests to people equally in spite of differences in ethnic background, sex or simply whether applicants happen to have a bad day on the day the test is given. Police officers in general have not been too keen on the idea of such testing. “There’s no way that me like some they’d test (expletive deleted) animal,’’ stated Falls police officer Niagara Andrew Szedlowski. “They test us to death even now. First you have to pass the Civil Service exam, then a physical, and then all of the tests that they give at the police academy. What more do they want?” lamented another officer Joseph (•ratlalia. “I’ll tell what they want,” replied an unidentified police officer. “They want us all to be social workers again, not cops. They should leave that job to some one trained for it and not expect us to have some kind of natural talent for it.” The officers present felt a kind of double standard existed because the bills specified that the tests be fair to all, regardless of race or sex. “You can be a short Puerto Rican cop, but you can’t be a short Angtalzi," he continued. Despite this concern, a source in the Democratic Party described the chances of the bills passing this year as about as likely as getting a gun control law passed for one thing, not that many legislators know about the bills because they have been in committee for so long. Also, at this time o( year the legislature is far more interested in wrapping up present business before the holidays rather than starting any new business. a number of and cities across the country have adopted their own testing programs particularly San francisco, Seattle and Miami In this area, the Town of Tonawanda has recently adopted a program of written tests Just what will be in this test remains obscure because the town does not plan on hiring on any new officers in the immediate future.

Page nine �History 200 Art Department Reaching out to community Gaining historical insight through film Looking for another course? If you’re interested in teaching and/or art, the Community Outreach Program offered through the Art Department here may be for you. Each week students in the Community Outreach Program work with various community groups and direct artistic projects. The program is the fust of such joint efforts established by the Albright-Knox Art Gallery and this University. “This is a new phase in museum education,” stated Frank Viola, coordinator of Community Outreach at the Art Gallery. “The students can use our galleries and our copies of famous paintings. They have access to our slide collections for presenting their projects.” Community Outreach allows students to enter community places such as day care centers, senior citizens homes, the Fillmore-Leroy community center and the Erie County Detention Center. The students instruct people in the construction of projects.” Every week students pick the class they want to teach. Then they plan a project and present it to the group,” explained Jeannette Harris, Art Department faculty member. Projects presented by the students cover a wide range. “One student had the people in the Erie County Infirmary make their own movies,” added Harris. “Patients drew on the blank film with magic markers; then the films were shown.” Other projects include and drawing, painting sculpting. Fischer-Price toys gave Community Outreach three boxes of wood scraps, which permitted the classes to deal with extensive wood construction Stipends available The students teach classes by themselves. “We have a staff of three teachers. One will be in the room to help a student in case he runs into trouble explaining an instruction or needs help,” said Viola. A unique feature of this class is that the students receive a stipend, ten dollars for every class they instruct. Payments are made possible by a grant awarded to the Gallery. “1 feel the students are performing a service to the community and should receive something for this,” commented Harris. It is believed that the stipend will be continued next semester. “We’re always wondering where the money will be coming from. Frank (Viola) has already applied for the grant from CETA,” stated Harris. Most of the students previously enrolled in the program are Art majors. “The student who registers should be a studio major and have some studio experience,” said Harris. “This course gives the student teaching experience and leads to teaching certification.” “The range of age groups vary; the student is involved in teaching at a lot of different levels,” said Viola. “The student gets plenty of experience.” The program will be offered next semester with the hope of a larger enrollment. Only jhirteen students were enrolled this semester. “These students are very enthusiastic about this and have given a lot to the program,” said Harris. “We’re really pleased.” -Karen Major Milton Plesur is a history teacher who likes movies. As a result he has dedicated a great part of his time to writing a book and developing a course about movies and how they reflect American society. Plesure, who has been teaching at this University since 1955 has a great approach to an old subject. “Why can’t a course be fun,” he enthused. The course, History 200, is a progression of American movies reflecting trends in American history. One topic is how ethnic groups were treated and subsequently depicted in a movie. This course also attempts to show how movies are a source of American values and themes, such as war, peace and the high times of the 1920’s, etc. “Movies showed this,” said Plesur. “During the depression serious movies were made. These were movies of social significance.” Records too! The course itself doesn’t consist of many movies. “We meet two times a week and play a lot of records dealing with movies,” Plesur said. “The department is supportive but we don’t really have the supplies for this type of course.” When asked about the function of movies, Plesur replied, “I don’t think movies create much, I think they reflect more. They are not more or less important than any other media.” Plesur has done his homework. While it is the fourth time this course has been offered, Plesur is approaching it in a new manner. He remarked, “I am an orthodox trained Historian, but got into popular history. Students lived in popular history but didn’t know anything about its culture. Even prosaic and mundane things can tell us something.” Shining stars His book, which will be published in a year, analyzes attitudes of personnel, both stars and others. Plesur, a name dropper, told of a few of the many people he has interviewed. They include such notables as Fred Astaire, Joan Blondell, George Burns, Buster Crabbe, FiFi D’Orsay (the original sex kitten), Melvin Douglas, Margaret “the wicked witch” Hamilton, Ray “the scarecrow” Bolger, Otto Preminger, George Raft and Butterfly McQueen. The book deals with star phenomenon and heroes. “1 am not an elitist,” said Plesur, motion picture Lee Scott Pere't “I’ve been called a Historian of Middle America.” NYPIRG favor of the proposal, but raised the objection that a resultant lack of space at the area stores would hinder IRCB’s ability to service students. NYPIRG’s proposal was written contingent upon IRCB’s receiving additional space, because “there is simply no room,” according to Kagan. “Right now, it would mean cutting back our selection and service severely,” he warned Schillinger said that NYPIRG and IRC will now work together put to on pressure the Administration to get more space for IRCB stores. Kagan was skeptical that it could be done, commenting. “We’ve tried for three years now ” Obtaining space Student Association (SA) has also recently endorsed NYPIRG’s proposal. From here, Schillinger is planning meeting between himself, IRCB, and Telfer to move a towards an agreement. additional space According to Vice President of Facilities Planning, John Teller, IRCB officials approached him with a proposal to annex to the Ellicot lessen, two rarely used rest-rooms. Telfer said the removal of restrooms would violate a building code. In the case of The Grub, IRCB has access to additonal space which is presently used for refrigerator storage. Vice President of IRCB Jeff Kagan said that IRCB had no place to relocate the refrigerators. The Underground has a small store U.

However, Food Service has been using returnables whenever possible in the Rathskellar, and hasn’t noticed any problem with ants or roaches, according to Director of the Rat Emma Johnson. NYPIRG’s Schillinger felt that the Rathskellar served as a model, both for the surrounding community and for 1RCB Consumer savings The ban on non-returnables has had great success in the states in which it has been legally implemented The New York State Senate Task Force estimated that a ban in New York would save consumers $40 million in beverage costs, in addition to significant public savings in trash collections and litter clean-up (beverage-related litter decreased 83 percent in Oregon after one year). Energy consumption would be reduced by translating into 20 trillion BTU’s enough fuel to heat 125,000 homes or run 200,000 cars. In addition, the ban would reportedly create a net gain of 5,200 jobs, increasing the state’s payrole by $35 million. Consumption of raw materials would be reduced by 615 thousand tons of glass, 60,000 tons of steel, and 10,000 tons of aluminum, proponents claim. �Poster rage issues, retain products and organizations. The answer to a blank wall by Mark Meltzer Assistant Sports Editor If you live in a college dormitory you probably have posters on your walls. In fact, the average dorm room is decorated with more than half a dozen such items. Most students decorate their rooms with posters because of their relatively low cost. But why do they put something on their walls? Writer Robert Dahlin explains: “A wall is just a wall without a poster, and for many that is enough. Others require a flash of color, a blast of message, or a mass of nostalgia.” The modern poster movement, which began in the late 19th century, stresses photography as to opposed pure graphics, according to author Bevis Hillier. Hil ier feels that photographic posters have been used more widely Propaganda “Human beings, unless blind, cannot help noticing interesting contemporary because advertising of with television competition which brings very realistic images right into the home.

Another to spread poster, intended German porpaganda, shows a smiling German soldier extending his right hand in friendship; it reads, “Germany is really your friend.” One Russian poster depicts Hitler and his deputies munching blood stained bones from a trough. Some posters were designed to safety health and spread information. For example, the American Cancer Society shows Eve offering a cigarette to Adam, who replies, “No thanks. Eve. I’d rather have an apple.” A National Committee Antidrug poster warns, “Not everybody dies from drugs. Don’t join the living dead A 1946 poster by William Little shows a black veiled widow staring bleakly into the air. “Keep death off the road. Carelessness ” kills,” it says. Farrah sells millions Posters fill more purposes than simply decoration, although that aspect has grown so much that poster boutiques have sprung up stores that sell little else. Decorative posters often depict portraits and nature scenes. Some are humorous and some are sexually explicit. Some posters use words to convey meaning and some rely solely on a visual image The most popular poster in recent history is the Farrah Fawcett-Majors wet bathing suit photo which has sold millions of copies. One student taped the poster to the ceiling above his bed, “So it could always be in full view Comedian Steve Martin jokes about being rejected by Farrah “after all that time I spent holding up her poster with one ” hand ” It’s no wonder that the most popular posters have been pictures of male and female “sex symbols” including Jacqueline Bisset, Lynda Carter, Jaclyn Smith, Kate Jackson, Cheryl Ladd, Robert Redford and Sylvester Stallone.

Feinerman Spectrum Staff Writer Hitching: safety and the law by Kathryn Norway Spectrum Staff Writer Not very many students heed the warning on the sign at Squire saying, “Caution: Hitching may be hazardous to Information your health.” Joe Smith (not his real name) summer a whole spent hitch-hiking around the country. His methods were not the ordinary thumb-out-on-thchighway bit. Smith was much more serious, carrying a portable CB radio. With this he contacted passing truckers and asked for a ride. Many times he got a ride to his exact destination. Smith, a student here, travelled over 2300 miles this way spending at the most $2.50 a day. Christmas vacation he hitched to Florida; over the summer to Portland, Oregon. The rides he received were from trucks such as Diamond Reo, Mack, CMC Astro 95, Kensworth, White and even a frcightliner. The rides took him from 500 miles to 5 miles. This student feels that most thumb travellers are welcome wherever they wind up. “Most of my meals were free,” Smith said, “paid for by the truckers or just nice people trying to help out.” It’s legal Smith also found another less popular way to see the country. He hitched freight cars. Travelling this way, he’s seen places such as Kansas City, Minneapolis and Denver. He says freight cars have the disadvantage of being illegal to hitch on and emphasizes that they are very uncomfortable but free rides. In all his travels, Smith’s worst experience was a drunk driver who took off with his back pack. He later recovered it and no harm came to either party. This appears to be the case for most male hitchers, but one female student who thumbed short distances most of the summer related her Mary memorable experiences. Jones (also a pseudonym) also took hitching very seriously and robberies do occur to hitchers and carried Hitch-hikers Manual, a drivers. In California last year, one book filled with information for girl was raped after she had been the inexperienced hitcher, with picked up from a male ride. When her. It gives tips on the best places she brought the case to court she thumbing, lost; the judge concluded, “She stand when to conversation with your driver and was asking for it.” what to avoid talking about, and the best states in which to hitch-hike. Jones said that although most of her rides were safe she would never hitch alone again. Many of her male rides made sexual advances but were not violent and she was semi-protected with a friend. The advances were in the form of proposals offering money. She claims that sometimes the situation was difficult to get out of and if her friend had not been with her several incidents could have proved to be violent. Dangers abound Drivers who pick up hitchers have similar feelings. They are usually truckers, students or those that had to hitch in their younger days. Their attitude is that of, “I know how it feels,” or “I like company when I’m driving.” Of those that won’t pick up a hitcher “It’s too is, attitude the dangerous!” These people are mostly in family groups or are young people who never found a need to hitch. One young man related his experience that verified this feeling. He was driving a truck and had picked up a male hitcher about 18 years old, who then pulled a knife on him, demanding the driver’s wallet. A fist fight almost ensued in the truck causing an accident. The hitcher got nothing more than a black eye. This young man claims he will never pick up another hitcher. “Why cause myself trouble when 1 can avoid it?” he asks. The decision about hitching or picking up hitchers depends on the individual. It can’t definitely be stated that hitching is "hazardous to your health,” but then again it only takes one incident to prove this true. It is a fact that rapes, murders and — Page twelve The Spectrum . Monday, 12 December 1977 . Financial aid forms Good news, good news.

Biking: an alternate form of travelling Who says the only way to see this country is by either train, bus, plane or car? These methods consume much money and gas. This summer a young couple travelled through most of New York then rode to Nova Scotia on their bicycles. The trip took five weeks but the actual riding time was about 22 days. How can one assure a safe and pleasant trip pedaling 22 days? This couple really prepared themselves. Each had a ten-speed packed with all the goods they would need: food, sleeping bags, cooking utensils, clothing and money, and tools in case of bike trouble. When all the packing was done, they found each bike had too much weight so they had to cut back. The bikes weighed as much as sixty pounds. To carry the load, each bike had a pannier, a pair of baskets flanking the back wheels. They also had a basket in front of the handlebars. This was sufficient to hold everything they needed. They set out for their first destination, Rochester, June 12, and planned to return to Buffalo during the middle of August. The couple brought along $1000 worth of Travellers Checks, $250 of which was spent on food. The remainder was spent on gifts for family members, a ferry ride, campsites, and tickets for the return train from Nova Scotia. Keep on pedaling As with most adventures, there were many good and bad experiences. “Pedaling up a hill in the rain is made up for when you’ve made it to your destination and there’s a friend waiting with food and a hot bath,” said the female half of the couple. But riding up a hill isn’t that bad with a ten speed and as for the rain, they each had huge poncho’s that covered the entire bike. The worst part of the trip, they said, was the fatigue at the end of a day’s journey. They rode about 70 miles a day, covering a total of 1 500 miles the entire trip. One difficulty was passing cars and trucks. Often they passed at high speeds and very close to the cyclists. This can cause whirlwinds which could very easily cause a bike to swerve uncontrollably. Once they were run off the road but luckily, were not injured. Most of the ride was enjoyable, they said. The campsites were beautiful and people were nice. Biking allows time to stop and enjoy such pleasures. The couple was surprised to find out that many people partake in this form of travel. �SPORTS Women's basketball Swim team loses in spite of improvement The swimming Bulls opened their home season losing to Geneseo 61- 52.

A boring win over Fredonia The basketball Royals raised their record to 2—0 Wednesday with a win over Fredonia 69-51, but Buffalo coach Liz Cousins wasn’t entirely happy with the team’s effort. “They played well enough to win, but I wasn’t pleased with the overall way they played,” she said. It was obvious from the start that Buffalo was the much better team. The Blue Devils shot poorly and rarely managed to pull down an offensive rebound, while allowing UB shot after shot. “Fredonia should not have scored 50 points,” commented Cousins. But as the Buffalo coach said, the Royals did play well enough to win. Sophomore Gabi Gray was both the scoring and rebounding leader for UB with 17 points and ten rebounds. Co-captain Paula Hills was the second highest scorer with 13. Kay Hoffman led the Blue Devils with 17 points. Cousins praised both Gray and Hills for their defenstive work but said that two players aren’t enough. “You have to have the whole team playing well to have good defense,” she said. Short star The game was boring from the beginning. With only a tew minutes played, UB had an eight-point lead which slowly got larger.

She sent a nice pass to Gray in front of the key, but Gary missed the shot. Krantz then pulled down the rebound and put it in the basket for two points.

UB shot an anemic 23 percent from the field in the first half, while on the other hand Akron shot a hot 55 percent. As in the previous two games, Buffalo again had the opportunities, but failed to cash in by missing high percentage shots and turning the ball over.

In an incredibly exciting game, Control just nipped Med School 33—3 I. Shooting Stars showed just Bulls. UB began defense and reducing to play forced aggressive turnovers, the large Akron bulge. Guard Ed Johnson connected from the corner with eight minutes remaining in the first half to make the score 18-10. Buffalo failed to score jn the last six minutes of the half, as the Zips exploded to a 37—13 lead at the clos.e of the period. Same old story “We played well enough that we shouldn’t have been down by 23 points at halftime,” said Richardson. “The players worked very hard, but again we missed easy shots we should have hit,” stated the Buffalo mentor. In the second half both teams came out hdstling and played agressive basketball. The Bulls began to hit shots that fell astray during the first half, but couldn’t cut down the Akron lead. Buffalo’s Larry Jones hit eight of his nine field goals in the second half for a team high of 18 points. Britton led all scorers with 21.

Eve and against Erie County Democratic Chairman. Joe Crangje) than a positive mandate. Whether this is true or not, is not important; wh*< is important is that GrifHn makes every effort bring as many diverse people and backgrounds into his administration as possible. Perhaps he has been wrongly misjudged as a divisive force in the city, but since he has been perceived to be, he will have to make an aggressive effort to promote goodwill and to bring the many different ethnic groups of the city together. This benevolence is of the utmost importance. If Buffalo is to have any type of bright future at all, the people of the city must unite and help each other Few cities have a reputation like Buffalo’s. Throughout the country, the mere mention of our fair city brings visions of huge snowdrifts,, ugly buildings and smelly steel plants. In fact, the only positive national publicity the city has received in the last ten years has been OJ. Simpson’s football exploits and possibly Beef on Week. Surprisingly enough, however, most native Buffalonians have not minded their city’s negative image. |n spite of the reputation Buffalo was a nice place to live. Even though other cities were considered to be more glamorous and attractive, the dty of Buffalo suited the natives Just fine. During the late 19S0’s and early 1%0’s, jobs were plentiful, For the Devil the economy of the area was moving and the people Few people have much sympathy (myself were happy. This situation, however, has included) for the plight of big business. But, the fact dramatically changed. of the matter is, without big business in the area, Many of Buffalo’s staunchest supporters now unemployment soars. Buffalo has historically been a wonder if ours is a dying city. The exodus of working man’s blue-collar town with lots of heavy industry and people from the area. Coupled with the industry. In recent years, however, many of these BUzzard of *77, have left the city’s people businesses have relocated in the “Sunbelt States” of economically and emotionally depressed. The die South and West. One of the biggest reasons why massive unemployment problem, the deterioration many of these businesses have left the area has been of the downtown area, and the inability of the city the high cost of operation here. New York State’s to attract or keep bright, young and innovative crippling tax structure, along with the high cost for people has caused many people to predict that labor and materials, has driven many industries Buffalo will become the next Detroit. They feel that away. the city is a burnt-out case and that it will eventually Something must be done to rectify this become nothing more than an empty shell. Being a situation. Congressman Jack F. Kemp (R., Hamburg) lifelong Buffalonian, I would now like to examine feels the thing that must be done is to reduce state the city’s current situation and try to evaluate how and local business taxes to make the area more its future can hopefully be improved. economically attractive. While this definitely would Many of Buffalo’s problems are not unique, help attract some businesses back, there would be a Almost every major city in the northeast has similar price to be paid. New Yorkers have always prided ones. Consequently, many of these problems can themselves on the fact that the Empire State always only be solved by state or federal action, had the best social services in the nation.

A reported kidnapping at the Ellicott Complex Wesncsday afternoon fizzled out to a bizarre trans-Atlantic family squabble involving a 20-year-old polish immigiant and her chagrined fiance. The woman recently wed a Japanese student here, but was apparently engaged to another man in her home country of Poland. A phone call to her parents in Europe was the first link in a derisive chain of events which ended in University Police Headquarters on the Main Street Campus amidst claims of kidnapping and unlawful imprisonment. According to accounts pieced together from various law enforcement agencies, the woman’s parents contacted the fiance who then called acquaintances here in hopes of splitting the newlyweds. The fiance reportedly made plans to travel to this country himself to break up the marriage. A spokesperson for University Police said it was the woman’s father who summoned contacts here, but in any event, two men approximately 45 and 60 years of age drove from their residences to the Hlicott Complex in search of the woman. The two men, according to University Police accounts, convinced the woman they had letters from her parents in Poland. The woman voluntarily left the Red Jacket Quad With the men at about 1 p.m. Wednesday afternoon. She was then blindfolded, driven to a house of unknown location and locked in a room that, curiously enough, contained a telephone.

Evidently, the Graduate Student Association (GSA) drove the final nail into the referendum's coffin upon announcing that it would work diligently in opposition to withdrawal efforts.

Transcontinent Record Sales Inc., the coop’s supplier, recently informed Coop Chairman Lenny Rollins of “significant cost increases.” . Transcontinent said by letter, we have continued to absorb the higher costs on the $8.98 list albums and up (double and triple album packages). Although this product represents a negligible portion of your purchases from us, we now find it necessary to start recovering some of those increased cost*. In addition we have made a very minor adjustment on a couple of lower priced albums.” Transcontinent employee Ann Orlando, commented, “Actually prices have been going up the past three years and we’ve been holding the line. It’s a cost increase that’s filtered down to us by the record manufacturers. It probably has something to do with the increases in oil prices, because you need oil to make plastic. Different labels go up different amounts, there are a lot of factors involved.” “ .. Inflation Dave Colson, Vice President of Amherst Records, a Buffalo subsidiary of Transcontinent said, “It’s an inflationary increase. Cost of labor, advertising and packaging all have been going up a constant 6-8 percent a year. Shipments that cost us $5 a few years ago now cost us $25. It has to be passed on, as in any other business.” Discussing the new price increases, Colson said, “Albums will now list at $7.98. The only $6.98 albums will be those that the manufacturer feels will not be a hit, albums that he (the manufacturer) feels safer releasing at $6.98.” Colson added, “I think that you will be looking at $7.98 albums through 1980. This represents a leveling off point for albums. You have to realize that when you buy an album, you’re also buying the packaging, which has risen significantly in costs also.” FM93WBUF8.

But take a minute to think about it. How much do you really know about that drug you either “get high” on or denounce as the killer weed? Recently, a debate on just this issue was conducted by Joe and Steve (their last names were withheld at the request of their parents.) The following is an exerpt from that debate. Joe: Marijuana, legally classified as “cannibus saliva” but otherwise known as grass, pot, weed, shit, smoke, reefer, herb or dust, is in essence a psychoactivc drug. This broad catagory includes stimulants, coffee, cigarettes and alcohol. By definition of the National Commission on Marijuana and Drug Abuse, “A psychoactive drug is any substance capable of modifying mental performance and individual behavior by inducing functional or pathological changes in the central nervous system.” Read that definition again carefully and you’ll notice that the implied pathological changes of the central nervous system are not necessarily bad ones . . . but psychoactive SERVICING THE SPECIALIZED NEEDS OF WESTERN NEW YORK’S ACADEMIC AND MEDICAL COMMUNITIES * * * * * Residential and office relocations long distance or world-wide - locally.

Joe: Today these marijuana pathologizers are on the defensive.

Admittedly, research of the drug has been “hazy.” Reputable researchers have been accused by equally reputable colleagues of “rigging” experiments and “bending” research results to reach preconceived conclusions. The case is such that Dr. Robert Dupont, Director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) has characterized all recent marijuana research as "contradictory, inconclusive and equivocal.” Even taking this into consideration many researchers are prohe to agree with the contention that though pot ijt illegal, it is less harmful in its effects than tolurcco or alcohol.

I suggest that fm now To the Editor. - An end and a beginning SA President Dennis Delia's concurrence with the SA Executive Committee's decision to postpone indefinitely a student referendum on the proposed withdrawal from SASU is wise. The fact that his last minute change of heart was influenced by serious consultation with officials from the Graduate Student Association (GSA) is significant. If the referendum had been held and if Delia's proposal to pull SA out of SASU had won over the students here, future lobbying efforts in Albany for increased construction on this campus 'would have been impaired as much by student devisiveness in Albany as by a resultant rift between SA President Delia and his Executive Committee and the Student Senate. Whether full time lobbyists, hired with the $11,000 SA would save by withdrawing from SASU, could do a better job of pressing for construction money at this University than SASU student delegates is at best doubtful. Delegates from student governments across the SUNY system, representing SUNY students across the state, working as a close knit, efficient lobby can do more to get more funds released by the Division of the Budget (DOB) without the by now customary delays in Albany. That is, if indeed any student voices are heeded by SUNY and legislative officials in Albany. Delia's claim that SASU lobbied for construction at SUNY Stony Brook is compelling evidence in favor of pulling out, however the spirit that spawned the idea of a single unifying mechanism for SUNY schools is vital to retain now, in this era of budget cuts, more than ever. The Student Senate, supposedly representative of the student body, apparently felt the same way. There are serious problems with putting before the students an issue already decided by their representatives. It very much undermines the basic idea of a Senate. The referendum could legitimately be thought of as a slap in the Senate's face. In this sense, the death of the referendum could breathe new life into the strained relations between the executive and legislative branches of SA. Of longer lasting significance is the sudden, most welcome (though a bit overdue) communication between the Undergraduate and Graduate student associations. The two governments have many interfacing objectives as well as complimentary resources and talents. According to Delia, SASU recently pegged Buffalo construction as its top lobbying priority. This of course, is welcome news and Delia is to be commended for taking a strong stand that, despite its ultimate demise, has achieved certain gains. That such gains required Delia's very sincere threat of withdrawal is emblematic of the problem SA has in getting its $11,000 worth out of SASU. With separation from SASU now behind us, SA is urged to patch up its own reeling ship and to take positive steps to enhance the returns this University gets from SASU and to take such steps with as much vigor and dedication as was summoned for use in the effort to pull out if the whole SASU issue has taught any lesson, it is that Buffalo's voice in the organization is not being shouted long enough or loud enough. Admittedly, it may also be falling on deaf or unresponsive ears but, given present realities, SA has no choice but to scream at SASU even louder. — 1 i — ■ ■'— " Brett Kline - Managing Editor John H.

To the Editor: In Wednesday’s The Spectrum, CAC made an apology to those persons in attendance of the 10 p.m. show of Monty Python’s The Holy Grail. The last 60 SECONDS of the film was not shown. It was mistakenly reported that the cause of this was an error by the projectionist. The direct cause of the blackened screen was the jamming of the douser mechanism on the projector. If this mechanism is down, no light comes through the lens. Due to today’s non-existent budgets and the extensive use of part-time student assistants as projectionists, it is not conceivable to give a detailed training course in the maintenance and repair of projection equipment. This projectionist was not instructed in the repair of equipment. Lecture Hall Services, a division of the Educational Communications Center, accepts full responsibility for the mechanical failure of the projector. It is true that LHS is the only service organization allowed to project on campus in the Lecture Hall facilities. We run all films except for the UUAB weekend program in Squire Hall. We have been in operation since the Summer of 1976 and have not had any complaints as to the quality of projection service. We are very concerned with the quality of this service, and strive for perfection within the existing limitations; grossly inadequate Lecture Hall facilities, poor existing theater sound systems, antiquated projection equipment, and a severely limited part-time budget. Granted, we are the only projection service on campus, but we are quite confident in the quality of our work. We recognize that CAC is a valuable organization to the community. They use the profits from their movie program to fund important community-oriented projects. are They the coordinators of the movie program, not the projectionists. Again, we accept full responsibility for the equipment failure and apologize to those in attendance. In light of a recent letter in The Spectrum calling for a boycott of CAC movies (for reasons which may or may not have been founded as our sound system experienced a temporary malfunction) and the need for an without assessing the totality of the circumstances involved. This was probably to avoid any potential negative attitudes towards their program. No negativity is deserved!

I have been here for the past three years and am being released a year from now and feel that it’s about time I -attempt to get myself back in touch with the world. In here it is so easy after time passes by to forget that there is another world aside from this totally negative atmosphere of prison life and I’d appreciate it more than you know if you could assist me in obtaining some communication with any persons who might be interested in sharing a few of their thoughts and ideas with me. Anyone who feels they would be interested in corresponding with me is more than welcome to drop me a line and they can be assured of a prompt answer. Possibly you could post my name and address on your student bulletin board, or if you desire, you might just post this letter up for anyone to read. I thank you very much for your time and am in the sincere hope that 111 be hearing from some of you in the near future. Peace to all of you . . . L.J. Smith 75A 229 7 Box 149 Attica, NY. 14011 — Friday, 9 December 1977 Ed<tor-in*Ghiaf Wholly mistaken " The Spectrum Voi. 28. No. 42 — Geraldo in Bolivia To the Editor. I am writing this letter to apologize to PODER, although what I am apologizing for 1 do not exactly know. But I would like to apologize first of all for “programming their lives on campus.” I did not realize that by programming Geraldo Rivera, the top investigative reporter in the country, I was programming their lives, I sincerely believed that I was doing the University community a service, but if I was wrong, I apologize. The second thing 1 would like to apologize for is mispelling his name, maybe I should have ran into The Spectrum office and checked the press or if I was too late for that correct spelling in all The Spectrum's, excuse me. The third thing I apologize for is putting the ad in a box. If 1 had known that this would offend PODER 1 would have put it in a circle. The fourth thing I apologize for is not mentioning what he was speaking on. The reason for this being that 1 asked Geraldo to speak on the Kennedy assassinations, but this was contingent on him getting hold of certain films, which he could not give me a definite yes on . . Therefore I decided to leave the topic of the speech open to him, again I apologize. Finally, I apologize for not asking PODER to co-sponsor. The reason being the lecture WAS NOT TO BE A RACIAL ISSUE. It was simply a lecture by a top reporter (probably) on the Kennedy assassinations, which is not a racial issue. PODER would have been greatly disappointed by the lecture since it would not have been on “insight into the Latin culture today,” as they seem to feel, just like it would not have been on “insight into Jewish culture today,” yes PODER, Mr. Rivera is half Jewish. This is why the “College of Urban Studies" was asked to co-sponsor. If PODER thinks 1 have been insensitive to the minorities on ihis campus why don’t they just walk next door and ask BSU how much money 1 spent on Angela Davis. I’hi sorry if I came on a little heavy in this letter; r do not mean to offend PODER. But I do feel their letter was extremely absurd, and more of an effort should have been made to contact me directly. As most of you already know Geraldo did not come to UB; instead ABC sent him to Bolivia. Sorry PODER .

That was the only good point of the entire concert. The time spent between songs, about 4 to 5 minutes was disgusting. Garcia averaged about 4 to 5 songs per hour so that left about 20 minutes per hour of silence. For a show that started almost an hour late and had an intermission of alfnost an hour, how could the concert not last the 3 hours it was supposed to run? Yea, it ran over 3 hours. It lasted about VA hours. Unfortunately, only about an hour and a half was music. For a professional performer, that was a poor performance. I wonder what would have happened had the show been shown in the Century as it was previously? You can bet there would have been less wasted time. Tom Fischetti I would like to express my views on the issues related to foreign graduate teaching assistants at this University (Letter by Judy Abramowitz, The Spectrum, Sept. 28). Though this is the first time I have heard of the problem of lack of communications involving the French Department, it has been voiced before concerning Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, etc. Very likely, no one from the university administration will respond with any explanation for the issues raised. I believe that it reflects the extent of administration’s concern and commitment for undergraduate education consistent with the larger constraints defining the nature of the university today. I would like to look at the problem of communication in a class in the larger context of education in a university. The problem of effective communications has two sides to it. One aspect may be the inability of some foreign students to adequately express themselves. The other aspect equally important is that many undergraduate students do not expect to understand foreign students, in spite of how well they can speak. Brought up with the American ideology (characteristic of a superpower), they don’t expect foreign students to know English, speak English and teach effectively in English. Consequently, when they find it difficult to comprehend in their classes, (for a number of other reasons referred below), spontaneously they attribute it to the lack of effective communications. I think effective communications is only a necessary condition and is far from being a sufficient condition for quality education. This becomes obvious when one compares courses where both American and non-American students serve as instructors. One would find that differences, if any, are indeed small. This implies that the remaining factors (other than that of effective communications) have more profound effects on undergraduate education. Let me identify some of these factors: (a) The class sizes are relatively large. Last year 1 knew of a course with a class size of 135 taught by an American TA. I would have been surprised if any communication was possible in such a class. (ii) Under economic compulsions the undergraduate students attempt to gain a formal degree in the shortest time, at the least cost. Consequently, they design for themselves programs at an intense pace. (iii) Many classes are taught by graduate students rather than by full-time faculty. Graduate students are called upon to do this work in addition to their full course load as students, in order to ' 12? 60P' support themselves through graduate school. (iv) Faculty are under pressure to do research rather than to teach in order to survive. Hence, they prefer to have graduate students handle undergraduate teaching. (v) The University is under pressure to operate with grossly inadequate resources. Adequate full-time teaching personnel are not appointed. (vi)The undergraduate students are under tremendous pressure to compete with each other for formal grades so that they can gain entrance into programs where there are still some jobs left, like medicine, etc. In order to do so, they are compelled to resort to any means possible. Such social pressures have induced an overemphasis on grades and a drastic underemphasis on learning. In short, the problems raised by Judy Abramowitz are more complex, in my view, than that of whether teachers can “speek Engleesh.” However, many of the important factors affecting the nature of university education are probably not as visible to everyone as that of foreign students 'being unable to communicate effectively. Given the prevailing ideology of American superpower with which the students have been brought up, unfortunately foreigners become their targets of attack. To deal at least minimally with the problem raised by Judy Abramowitz, the following steps can be taken: 1. The departments should take more seriously the question of what assignments they give to each of the teaching assistants. Especially the freshman and sophomore courses should be handled by teaching assistants who can communicate effectively with the students or more preferably by the faculty. 2. There exists a large degree of social alienation faced by the veants of our fair land have to use up foreign students that forces them to form close ethnic groups. This in no way helps develop better communicative abilities. Most American graduate students are also content to remain in their close knit groups thus aggravating the situation. The only way this will change is if American graduate students undertake special efforts to interact with non-Americans in their departments. Given the discriminatory treatments and attitudes towards foreign students that objectively exist, the initiative of American students in this direction is essential In my next letter, I would address the question of why foreign students are here in the United States in such large numbers and whether this situation can be changed. Friday, 9 December 1977 . The Spectrum . Page seven �» Marijuana question. of outwardly observable effect* that it has on human beings. To legalize, or even use it, would be understood as acceptance or total understanding of it by die medical profession. Since marijuana has no therapeutic value, it is only introducing another toxin into society. We are very far from understanding all of marijuana’s effects of us. Jot: That’s where you’re wrong. I’m sure you’re familiar with the case of Robert Randal, who is one of the over two million Americans suffering from glaucoma. In an experiment backed by the United States government, Randal uses pot daily to help stabilize his condition. Researchers have known for several years that pot relieves die main symptom of the disease (pressure within the eye due to improper drainage of optic fluids). Randal estimates he has amoted over 3,000 of the high potency, federally issued joints and said, “there have been no side effects.” The therapeutical benefit* of marijuana don't stop there. Thousands of cancer patients who now suffer from the severe side effects of chemotherapy are benefiting from the discovery that THC (Tetrahydrocannibinol), the principle active ingredient in marijuana, either reduces or eliminates vomiting and nausea. The drug has also been known in recent years to help treat the effects of depression, insomnia, amphetamine withdrawal, asthma, epilepsy, as well as victims of severe migrain headaches and women who experience painful menstrual cramps and difficult labor in childbirth. Steve: Ify review of the literature indicates that none of the therapeutic claims of THC can be satisfactorily substantiated, or that other drugs are available which are more specific, more potent, and easier to prescribe, administer and control; which are free of psychomimetic effects; and which have modes of action that are better understood. The notion that marijuana is harmless must be reviewed, for, this theory has enjoyed a high degree of acceptance for too long with a complete disregard for history and a near total lack of scientific evidence. At this time I would like to bring up evidence of a report done in 1974 oy Doctors Nahas and Kolodmy of Columbia and St. Louis Universities, respectively, regarding the effects of marijuana on sperm count and testosterone levels. At the time of the study it was estimated that two million people smoked pot once a day and over seven million smoked at least once a week. The figures today ate obviously much higher. The study verified that pot lowers the level of testosterone, which stimulates sperm production in males. This effect could lead to delay or distortion of puberty in pre-adolescent boys and could eventually lead to impotency. So all potential Romeos should be aware that more than your inhibitions may be lowered when you get into bed under the influence of pot. Jot: 1 remember that the study evoked a great deal of publicity in the media, citing all sorts of bad sounding physical reactions, but these are merely scare tactics. What they’re trying to do is hit the sexually minded youth of today below the belt. In fact, a review of iust this study in Scientific 1 from page *— Americen in 1975 stated that “:.. regardless of the evidence presented that some long term cannibus users suffer from impotence arid infertility, there is no evidence of any widespread occurrence of this phenomena in either the U.S. or in foreign cultures, where strength and use of the drug is remarkably more widespread.’* For those who believe that the use of marijuana is definitely wrong solely because it’s against the law, I contend that it is one thing to merely sit on an established law and say, “Ipso Factor:” the law is right. The challenge comes in examining the issue objectively and then evaluating the law as to its social relevance and the scope of its consequences. Steve: Legalization, however, is not the answer. 1 can see some sense in the new legal status of pot, .protecting the occasional user. If the issue is pursued, I feel transactions of the drug should be regulated by tariffs and taxes, and sold in registered outlets, available only through doctor's orders, if any such condition could ever arise. At this time I am in agreement with government policies of lenient punishment for possession and extreme punishment for sale. What is needed are more educational advisement programs to alert potential marijuana users to the risks of the use of the drug. Discipline and values should be made more important. Joe: Marijuana is today the most widely used illicit drug Twenty percent of Americans, that’s 25-30 million people having used it at least once and at least half of these current users get high at least once a week. This widespread use of marijuana is not a new worldwide phenomenen. Its use has been popular in the U.S. in one font) or another for decades. With this information it seems logical that if there were serious long term effects of the drug, repeated cases of these such effects would begin to surface through medical research. After decades of marijuana myth-making the government is now in the process of reconsidering the medical properties of pot So much are recent findings to the medical benefits of pot that, researchers say, if THC had recently been discovered by the pharmaceutical industry instead of private citizens, it would likely be praised as a new miracle drug rather than outlawed as the killer weed. It is impossible to make a decision on marijuana without considering the context of total human experience and this is different for each of us. Keep in mind that the final story on marijuana is not yet in. In time, new evidence will be brought to light. Until then you must make a decision in tyie light of what you know. If you do decide to “gW high” or to keep on “getting high,” more power to you. Steve: You may or may not think that pot can effect you adversely as I have hopefully proven to you here. If it does, it is a fact that you cannot directly see these effects yourself and that may lead you to believe that there are no adverse effects. Actually, you have no way of seeing your lungs, looking at your blood cells, checking your chromosomes or directly observing any number of effects marijuana has on your body. Even if there is a slight chance that pot could effect you in the ways 1 have previously mentioned, can you afford to take that chance with not only yourself but possibly, one day, with vour children?

The Status of the case was uncertain at press time Thursday afternoon since the woman refused to sign an official complaint, according to University Police Detective Frank Panek. Becuase she was unwilling to press charges, little more than misdemeanor counts could be placed at any time against the two men, whose identities and whereabouts are at this time unknown. Investigators were at first puzzled as to a possible motive in the case. The fact that the woman was unnoticeably abducted in the middle of the afternoon at the heavily-populated Ellicott Complex was particularly curious.

It didn't so I won't. Instead, I will comply with a short, though friendly and very appreciative retort. The promoters of the concert saw a demand and filled it with the best they could. They could have booked another name act, but Garcia is the name that cpunted. Hence, the Buffalo State College Student Union Board and Steve Ralbovsky should recieve applause and recognition for the work they have done, putting on great rock and roll shows. Truly they are the most innovative promoters this city has seen in the last two years. To be sure, I didn't enjoy Jerry Garcia; he's a fat old hippie and childish in his ways. What's more, he has become a parody of the hippie statesman he once was. Captain Trips, what a jokel During one song, an overblown "That's What Love Will Make You Do," he appeared pn the verge of a cardiac arrest. An arrest on charges of promoting somnolent obscenity would have been more appropriate. Rock has always feared the assination of a major performer; it would be fairly ironic if, instead, the old age claimed the first victim. My last gripe is directed towards the audience. Although (and it's about time at that) I think some people are finally accepting Garcia's demise. Grateful Dead fans, at least the ones which still attend their concerts, are the best fans in the world. Perhaps they are too good. Their problem is quite similar to that of the captain of a sinking ship. Dead Heads just don't know when to quit. Well that's their problem, and not the point, here, anyway. The fact which will remain after the disappointment of the Garcia show has dissapated is that the fan's got what they want; not a substitute, nor what I want and that '$ all that counts and that couldn't have taken place if it we ten't for the Buffalo State gang. They love rock and roll. The Jerry Garcia concert is not a very good example of this, nor as to how the promoters are. A look at their acts will remedy this; Southside Johnny and The Asbury Jukes, David Brombert (last year). The Ramones, John Prine, Lip Service, John Fahey, Talking Heads, The Deadboys, Loudon Wainwright, The Dictators, Eric Andersen, Randy Newman, The Flying Currite Brothers, and those are only the names that I remember. At one point before the band canceled out, Steve Ralbovsky had scheduled. Steely Dan; now tell me you wouldn't wanna go see them. In the future, Elvis Costello seems like a strong possibility and a very progressive booking. Who else can say they're that in contact with the times? Who else can claim, they'v>e brought such interesting and new shows. No one, that's who. No one, at least has done so on such an intimate scale, and I call being able to see such great shows on my campus intimate. Save for a few jazz shows, I can't say that I have. As for you Dead Heads, sorry, but you could keep the bickering amongst yourselves. You give me a headache.

Hopkins Spectrum Music Staff Tomorrow night live in the acoustically sparkling & Corky productions will present the area premiere of the Grammy award winning musical. Bubbling Brown Sugar. Sugar is the musical portrait of the Harlem (in vogue) of the 20s, 30s and 40s that rhythmically rocked the world. The following treatise shall attempt to explore the roots of this succulent sweetness, a consummate taste that will nurture despite bitter odds. Enjoy and envision. intimacy of Shea's Buffalo, Harvy Bubbling Brown Sugar Speak of the effervescent tang of Black Creativity that awakened America and the World. If it did not immediately awaken America to the deep feeling humanity that carried its culture thru struggle, sweat and slain generations, the movement truly staggered the land with an overwhelming display of flamboyance and dazzling skill true entertainment messages of Beauty to be seen and spread like Lena Horne forecasting Stormy Weather or Nat King Cole warning "Straighten Up and Fly Right" with the strange, enchanted voice of a Nature Boy in play. Determined play. Whether in New York's Savoy or Cotton Club, or Boston's Southland, or Billy Berg's on the West Coast, the Music was "Flying Home" on a Hampton-Goodman express, or stomping to the cadence of Lew Leslie's Blackbirds of 1928 and an unknown high stepper named Bill Robinson (Mr. Bojangles, as the cane tips roundly and , on the beat) whose foot rap placed a special stamp of elegance on Creative Dance. Broadway would never be the 'same. Those Black musicals had to often contend with stereotyped characterizations that came to odds with the Seen") unveils the true intensity of e period of American Theatre too often simply glossed over (by too many "whits" critics) or ignored (by too many "black" crtics). The recent TV movie. Minstrel Man, deals powerfully with the subject of the black minstrel show and the dawning rag music. As the ill-fated (whet else?) musician stated to a racist, hostile, audience when he appeared before them in whiteface (a chalk reversal), "There ain't no whites out here. Ain't nothin' but radnecksV That was when his health took a turn for the worse. ... some holy rolling to the world. A vitally superb document.

The bubbling grace of "African Ripples" and the stride gladiator's coup de grace of Fats' "Handful of Keys" and James P. Johnson's "Carolina Shout" stomp loud ritual here. Save for two tunes of splendid piano duos with Benny Payne, Fats displays his talents alone, moving from 1829-41 with a versatility that can grind-em-up on a dance floor and could cry pianissimmo to awaken ears. The Honeysuckle, as they say. Rote. Mentioning this tune again, it is safe to say that the Honeysuckly Rose gathered quite a flock of masters, here and to be. One such example it the classic reunion of Fats and Louis Armstrong (covered in the book) in 1938. This radio session of the Swingmakers has been released on Fat* Waller and Hi* Rhythm (1938) Volume IS (Fr nch RCA). They do a minute rendition of "Honeysuckle Rote" (along with Jack Teagarden, trombone, Al Casey, guitar, and other Waller members) that packs the power and group improvisation of several minutes of excitement elsewhere. The trade off between Satchmo and Fats on 'The Old Time Blues" is an excellent case of scat, courtesy the Cats. Louis on "Tiger Rag" strikes clean and deep with that sweet tone of metallic flow. Then there's Louis and Jack "On The Sunny Side of The. Street," not to mention the album's close, with the participants individually gathering to declare "I Got Rhythm." "Jeepers Creepers," indeed!

This is the legacy of Sugar. Let us review a few ingredients of the brew. ... ... Thomas "Fats" Waller. A rotund slim picker of street and Satin. A derby hatted cigar chomper who took the Carolina Shout of James P. Johnson's Harlem stride and brought to the piano an organ's glide. The rockin' ragman whose pop eyed punchlines could cut you quicker, many a time, than his intingly beautiful lyricism. With the genius of his songwriting partner, Andy Razaf, they wrote Broadway plays and made the fragrance of the Honeysuckle Rose swing in dazzling delight. His life was the shout "Ain't Misbehavin' with a wolf's smile and his fingers crossed behind his back. The jive and drive of the Jitterbug Waltz. Thanks to Maurice Waller and Anthony Calabrese, we now have, at last, the fuli story of Fats Waller (Schirmer Books, $12.95, 256 ppg.), a story that (in the first chapters alonel) will unveil to you the origins of Harlem and an accurate, concise background of the Music's beginnings, as well as its first recordings and some insight on the recording industry. It tells about Edward & Adeline Waller, who expected no Heaven up North but knew what the South held (at least then) for black people. It speaks of the strong roots an institution that of the Wallers in the Black Church (for them, as many) was a whole society to cut our or combat the ills of the street's illicitness and hate. Between the pulpit and the poolroom (literally) came Fats to the piano stool ("Hey, is all of me down there?") to preach There are so many others. Duke Ellington, who stretches from the 20s to forever. Volume / (1926-28): The Beginning (MCA) features the sassy snarl of trombonist Joe Nanton and Bubber Miley's trumpet on tunes like "East St. Louis Toodle-OO” and "Black and Tan Fantasy," affirming the traditions and the growth; not a passing of times, but a consistent beginning. Sonny Greer's drums, as ever, pound with the chimes of Life's pulse. Billie Holiday. What more can one say about the Lady and the Blues? Nothing that the sultry grit of her own recordings and her deep legacy to all singers couldn't say. An example of this is the classic teamups with Lester " telling quality of the lyrical song and dance. One may say, perhaps, that this conflict of interest made the revues more interesting, dramatically speaking. It was certainly interesting to the black audiences who could see these the vibrant songs, often plays (and later, movies) contrasted (sardonically? a choice?) with the thick lipped watermelon humor that W.A.S.P. audiences of those days catered to, gave many a blood something to think about Or feel deep down. ... Cork vaudeville It is time we took a fuller perspective on those times. The power of Ben Vereen playing a Bert Williams soliloquy bears fine focus. Williams, the leading black comedian who had to contend with the cork "blackface" vaudeville of the day, is shown one night as he is leading his revue in a particularly tough red neck town. In no time Williams, in his high stepping fashion (with eyes bulging double-sized that the "whites" may show) has the audience eating out if the wild applause was any of his hand, obviously kind of indicator. In gracious hostmanship, Williams thanks the audience and invites them for drinks, on him. Silence. The wide toothed grin fades and a look of stark bewilderment and hurt lines Williams' brow. What's he done wrong? The crime is soon revealed. He has broken the "taboo" of racial "preservation" by encouraging a casual he has (or social gathering on social terms. Further whites at his "superior" the would have) placed an financial (esp. open a favor doing them "servitude" by even one as smalt as drinks).

Prodigal Sun �'Staged' is word for Hall and Oates show by Pat Carrington Spectrum Music Staff One look at the Century Stage before Daryl Hall, John Oates and band graced it on Sunday, December 4, was all anyone needed to know a show, not just a concert, was in store for him. An setup drums, elaborate of keyboards, and synthesizers rested on platforms of different levels around which a staircase curved. It wasn't just an ordinary stage. Accordingly, Hall and Oates didn't put on a just ordinary act. The lights darkened and the five-man band, featuring Caleb Quaye on guitar and Roger Pope on drums, took the stage. First John Oates and then Daryl Hall made grand entrances to "Don't Change" from their most recent album. Beauty on a Back Street. It differed considerably from the recorded version, being not as smooth, but more energized. The atmosphere was loose, as Hall fiddled with his electric piano, asking the audience "Now what shall I play? How about "Rich Girl." It was less melodic, more erratic than the album version. Hall improvised on the vocals now and then, leaning on the piano with a casual air to tell us about that bitch. They all looked as though they were enjoying themselves up there, and playing excellent music at the " — same time For "Do What You Want, Be What You Are" from Bigger Than Both of Us, Hall took the mike from its stand, and sang, as only he can do. When he got the thunderous applause that his vocals usually elicit, he jumped up and down and shouted "I know!" I wonder what. Each song in the context of this performance became a work rather than a mere tune. They all built to intense pitches, climaxing rather than ending. Daryl Hall was quoted recently in the New York Times as saying: "I want to get closer to the essence of whatever is in the songs when they're created, the initial energy and tension. I like a lot of feeling in music, and the original feeling always gets diluted in the studio." and were Energy tension - missing a note. People around me gushed about Hall (I prefer Oates myself). The two performers were well aware of the effect their sex in Sunday's concert, adding to the charged feeling in the songs. John Oates did "The Erpptyness," singing alone with the mike, sitting on a stool center stage. It showed his vocal strength, which is often unfortunately overlooked because of Hall's flashier style. Hall, fooling around, kicked the stool over and broke it. Oates threw a chair leg into the audience and hit someone with it, which seemed to surprise him as he asked, "You okay?" When Oates mentioned, in the same Times article, that: "If there's any single word to describe where we're going, it would be 'aggressive,’" I don't think he meant it to go that far. appeal had on the audience, and used it to its fullest extent. Suddenly, their big star logo appeared as a backdrop behind their pedestals. Hall stood before it to sing "Winged Bull," a spacey song from Beauty A show of flipping red lights, strobe style, against the star heightened the effect. Pinpoints of light appeared in the star, alternating crosses and x's growing larger as the song progressed. They went right into "Is it a Star?" a jazz-funk tune from War Babies. "Is it a star or is Sex appeal During songs, Hall and Oates each strut the stage, conscious of their power as showmen.

Moving "Sara Smile" Oates did the popular, sexy "I'm Just a Kid (Don't Make Me Feel Like a Man)," dedicating it to the girl he hit with the stool. It was his best song of the evening, as he didn't sing it, he portrayed it as well. Hall did a moving "Sara Smile," occasionally without mike. He improvised here and there, and sang along with the guitar. It was perhaps his prime vocal piece that night, of which —Hear 0 Israel— For gems from the Jewish Bible Phone 875-4265 there should have been more in wasn't feeling well the show instead of the emphasis on highpitched guitar-rock frenzy. Strategic syringe "She's Gone" wasn't as sadly sweet and emotional as it should have been. There was a big emphasis on the beat, as opposed to vocals. Hall and Oates' voices are perfect compliments to each other and sound so beautiful together again, better than lots of rock instrumentation. In this show, and in their most recent music, H & O are trying to eliminate the "R & B cliches" they feel their music has become infected with. They shouldn't overdo it sould is a good thing. "Abandoned Luncheonette" was cute, with "shoo-wops" thrown in to camp it up. "Room to Breathe" was the finale to the hour and ten minute show too short, perhaps because Oates — — — CIALS” The first encore was the bitter "You Must Be Good for Something" sung to a wonderfully sardonic turn by Hall. "Johnny Gore and the "C" Eaters" followed, and they left again. It almost seemed as though that was to be it, but when Hall ran out in a doctor's white coat it was obvious the whole encore had also been strategically planned. It had to be, and was, "Bad Habits and Infections." When Hall began to shriek "I am the doctor," Oates re-entered in a ridiculous doctor's getup with a huge syringe to stalk him, and eventually to drag him up the stairs to their star, which parted to let them through. It was a theatrical ending to a good show, but something was missing. it Perhaps was spontaneity, perhaps sincerity, perhaps just the soul that H & O are trying to get away from, but something was lacking that could have made it truly outstanding. Juice Newton and the Silbert Spurs, a country-rock group led by a chick with an excellent voice and a crude sense of humor, were the opening act. They did a good 45-minute set, featuring some Bob Seger tunes, a moving ballad showcasing Juice's considerable vocal telents, and a few oldies like "Hey Baby" and "Do You Wanna Dance?" The Spurs were an able band, although Newton never introduced them.

New Riders of the Purple Sage, Marin County Line (MCA) If SanFrancisco rock bands exemplify the experiences of American rock bands during the '70's, the Grateful Dead represent the hard-shelled survivors chugging on towards the 80's while the New Riders typify those who have run out of steam and direction . . . and have gone to L.A. Ever since the release of Panama Red, their once Marin County Line, the giant following has been steadily dwindling New Riders new album, was apathetically anticipated and, aside from — one song, has been receiving little air-play. The New Riders have undergone many changes in personnel, style, and image since their first album. Original bass player, Dave Torbert, was replaced by Skip Battin who subsequently has been replaced by Stephen Love; Patrick Shanahan has all but overtaken Spencer Dryden's seat on drums and member Buddy Cage vaguely remembers the 9 and 1/2 fingered furry guru who recommended him for the pedal steel position. The New Riders are no longer envisioned as the cosmic cowboy hipsters, but as lackadaisical lazyboys who imagine themselves in what seems to be a somewhat self-depreciating manner. Stephen Love, appearing on his second album for The Riders supplies new vitality for the group but unfortunately, they seem unable to incorporate his talents into their musical style. His writing and singing seems more suitable for L.A. Country rock compatriots Poco or The Eagles than for The Riders. 'Till I Met You," a ballad that is probably the best and most honest song on the album sounds like something off of Poco 7 or 8, (or is that 9?). "Llewelyn," another Love original, has the booming, pulsating rhythm of the Eagles' "Outlaw Mart" and I would swear under oath that Randy Meisner is singing the harmony vocals. Another Love original, "Green Eyes a Flashing," has the potential to become an AM hit and seems to be getting some airplay. It has that upbeat rock 'n' rollness to it which makes you able to hum (or drum) along to it on the first listen, but unfortunately, it's also not very consistent with what The Riders have been doing in the past. As for the older, established Riders in the band, Dave Nelson is still playing that tired old lick he learner} for "Henry" while Marmaduke's vocals continue to become more affected (like dagger's, Elvis', or Ed Sullivan's). Cage though, has improved his pedal steel playing by trying different techniques rather than reprocessing licks, which, he has done in the past. Like Love does on Side One, Nelson and Dawson dominate the music on Side Two. "A Good Woman Likes to Drink With the Boys" is a song in which Dawson and Nelsor deliver good vocals and harmonies respectively, unfortunately, though, some absurd, self-demeaning vocal antics at the end almost ruins the song. ‘Turkey in the Straw" follows immediately; “The Riders" have put together the most sloppy cover of this song since Donna Reed's son Jeff's garage band broke up The remainder of the Dawson and Nelson material, which includes "Twenty Good Men" and "Jasper," are strong musically but the lyrics are penned and sung with all the conviction and sincerity of Riders ditties such as "Sutter's Mill." Marin County Line is their best album since Bruj, but that is only because their last two albums have been complete disappointments. The Riders are still a Frisco based band, but like many other weary rock bands, they have taken refuge in that somewhat' sleazy and homogenous L.A. sound. Stephen Love seems to be their most promising writer if they could only figure out a way to tap his talents. The album's backcover photo seems to paint a rather appropriate picture of -this group: Our somewhat tainted heroes are Clothed in outdated garments and are obviously on their way somewhere; where and what direction, nobody seems to know or care. —Andrew Ross Prodigal Sun �Joan Armatrading, Show Some Emotion (A & Ml Joan Armatrading has been around a few years, but until now she really hasn't happened on much air time.

And that ain't all They thought they had me in for keeps kidz, cuz on side duo there's two tracks that arpegio They don't know this boy never sleeps with sudden bursts of quaking instrumentation: "Shades Of Chromium Plating" and "Raceway." like to laugh One of my favorite songs the Pinks ever invested in like to joke as a group, "Chambermaid," simply revels in the It ain't my fault my sense of humor's broke host of madness that infected these crazies: "I'll rape tried to tell 'em was sick Chambermaid!!!"

In the last year, she got a new management company, a TV series, and radio play on country as well as pop music stations. In the process she has disenvowed all association with Porter Wagoner and his blond pompadour. The first time out on record for the new Dolly was very successful; New Harvest First Gathering let her voice go free with beautiful production and sweet country singing. It had the country sould with the proof of the pudding in the song "Applejack." It is some of that country soul that is absent here. Parton freely admits that she has not had the time do do much song writing in the last two years; she has been too busy making her career, and taking her career to the public on the concert schedule. Though she is a great singer and entertainer, her creative — „ inspiration stems from her memories of an Eat Tennessee mountain childhood. Now the direction has changed with only four Parton songs on this set. She makes no excuses for this, she sees it as a stepping stone for her own songs and voice. The title song here, "Here You Come Again," has already outsold any other Parton release. She has arrived. It is a disappointment to expect a major musical work from a major American singer and writer and get the pop and sweet stuff offered here; strings and five songs a side. No hurting songs. No steel guitar or country pronunciation that Dolly's got in the mouth. The hype sheet for this record announces a major event. Extra! It would have you believe that the writing of Barry Mann, Kenny Rogers, and Bobby Goldsboro, and the slick, glossy, fold-out cover of the album designate this LP as superior product. It is not pop music I object to. Chrystle Gayle found her hit with "Don't it Make My Brown Eyes Blue" and more power to her. Dolly needs her own strengths and voice. She needs her songs as they come out of that mountain heritage. Listen to the radio, AM country or top 40, and hear the title song. If you like the song, you'll buy the record. Now to the more serious business. This is an album of love songs. The production is clean and It is the weight that is missing right crisp. away. The bump-bo-bump-bop of "Here You Come Again" is fun to hear and has Dolly on the radio but it don't last. Neither does "Baby Come Out Tonight" with a long lala chorus. Dolly says that two of the songs that appear here under her name were written in the studio specifically for the album. One works and one doesn't. "It's All Wrong, But It's All Right" is the cliche that you may assume it to be from the title, "... electric piano synthesized "clink cling-s" that are ruining all of modern music are here. The other song dashed off in the studio for this LP is a nice upbeat song for her, "Two Doors Down." "Me and Little Andy," and "God's Coloring Book," two older Parton songs, are the highlights of the album for me. This is the real Dolly. On "Andy" she puts on her little girl voice that is attractive for some reason. This and "Coloring Book" fit what I call new songs of faith. After so many bummer songs from the rock and country music world, some song writers are giving out affirmative about the order of things. It is a simple kind of ordering of the world expressed in child like terms, but it's o.k. The album fills out with John Sebastian's "Lovin' You" featuring slide guitar and banjo. I've always liked Sebastion songs and this one is a good one for Dolly. Again, the production is so great to hear everything. Los Angeles recording is good for things like that. I look to the day when Dolly really seeks her own path again with more confidence that more people are listening. Seek your own country soul, Dolly. And you oughta listen, 'cause that would help her. —David Benders Friday, 9 December 1977 The Spectrum Page fifteen . . �traffic, mowing people, the awed, the laughter*.

Prodigal Sun �/ Sunshine House: a friend in the darkest hour by David Andrews Spectrum Staff Writer Sunshine House has recently been working in conjunction with the Sexuality Education Center (SEC). Originally designed in 1971 as an Acid Rescue Service, the Sunshine House at 106 Winspear Avenue, a Since SEC is closed after five p.m., an agreement has been made whereby the Sunshine House acts as a referral service for it, taking any calls the SEC normally would. twenty-four hour confidential, Crises Intervention Center for University students and anyone in need, deals daily with suicide, rape, drugs, family, psychiatric and personal problems. “In fact, many people think the House was named after Orange Sunshine, a form of LSD,” said Orin Cohen, one of its thirty volunteer counselors. Steve Levy, director of the Sunshine House said that the name actually stemmed from a desire to bring warmth and light to people in need. In addition to the thirty counselors, four who are Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT), Sunshine House employs a psychiatrist, a medical staff, and a pharmacology expert. The medical staff is available twenty-four hours a day by virtue of a radio dispatch connected to the house. Utilization of the medical staff often occurs when a rape victim needs assistance. Levy said disgustedly that there have been a lot of on and off campus rapes lately, added to a steady increase over the last few years, and that the administration is taking no action. Suicide handled Because of the Outreach Service which Sunshine House offers, the medical staff and two counselors attack the crisis directly, be it emotional, medical or psychiatric. Said Levy; “Yet, if someone is attempting suicide, we won’t trace the call and try to halt it. We are client-centered.” Cohen added: “We don’t tell a client which path to take, but we do try to get them to a state of mind where they can make a rational decision.” Sunshine House is a short-term crisis service and doesn’t counsel people on a periodic basis. “We try to alleviate the crisis right at the moment of the call. We do not make the solution,” stressed Levy. He added that if a pregnant girl calls for help, they won’t tell her to get an abortion. “We will try to relieve the emotional stress, so she can decide what is right for the situation,” he stated. Who’s tripping? “No one is tripping here” is often a remark when concert goers recognize counselors persuing through the aisles. The medical staff and two counselors often provide guidance and first aid at concerts sponsored by University Union Activities Board (UUAB). Levy stressed that their presence at concerts is for the benefit of anyone, not merely those having bad trips. He said demand for an Acid Rescue Service has decreased. “Well tell callers facts on drugs and let them make the decision to use it or not,” he claimed. Levy said this is the drug identification service the House offers. Anyone needing information on the varied aspects of a drug (whether it is safe to use with liquor, the overdose level, after-effects of use, etc.) can call Sunshine House, and a counselor with the use of a Physician Desk Reference (PDR) will give the caller information. “One can’t know what goes into a drug now,” cautioned Levy. “Lately, PCP (angel dust), a drug that magnifies a users problems, has been sprinkled in marijuana to strengthen it.” sif you are seeking refuge from a storm, Sunshine House offers an Emergency Housing service. Roommate problems, parental difficulties, or early arrival after a class instruction break are some reasons you might need shelter. Levy stated that runaways frequently wander into the house looking for a place to stay. If they’re less than sixteen years of age, Sunshine House cannot legally help them without the risk of a kidnapping charge. Since its inception, the House has never had a legal suit “We are allowed to border anyone for a maximum of two days. After that, if one is still in need of additional aid, we can refer them elsewhere, said Cohen. Just walk in Sunshine House contacts many other agencies to keep informed about services they offer. Legal, welfare, and permanent housing counseling are not available, but they Odd duo show A student production of The Odd Couple will be presented December 8th thru the 10th at the Katharine Cornell Theater in the EUicott Complex.

Sunshine House doesn’t depend entirely on teVgdinwr calls and its Outreach Service. Walk-in service is open twenty-four hours daily. Theoretically, t owned ins see available the entire day, but since most vdarateecs ase students, this isn’t always feasible. The service is rcgidaiV staffed from two a.m. to two p.m. After being interviewed and accepted, volunteers mart successfully complete fifty-five hours of training in tam and one-half weeks.

Levy said they look for volunteers who art hnweahy non-judgmental, empathetic and trainable. "Votanhean should be able to adapt to our mode of counseling,'** he said. “Experience isn’t necessary, but they should he emotionally stable because of the type of cdb we get,” he added. No thank-yous “In the '60's, people did things for other people, fa the ’70’s, they are doing things for themselves,” said Lmjt. He thinks this is the reason why the amount of applicants to Sunshine House has decreased by about SO percent. Cohen said that for most agencies relying on volunteer, the amount of applicants has lessened. Sunshine House is funded by the Student AssocanSoa (SA) at this University. SA allows them n budget of $ 11,000, most of it covering mortgage, telephone, and utility expenses. How successful is Sunshine House? “I deem uc successful every time someone calls,” Levy said. “We can It tell if a client’s decision is successful, because we rarely get thank-you calls. If a person comes to a decision, then its worth it, even though we may not agree with it.” Bus signs, public service messages on television, and Back Page advertisements in The Spectrum, have been utilized to publicize Sunshine House, where lectures are often held. On December 23, three representatives of Sunshine House will appear on Sunday Surprise a community service television program of WKBW-TV. , Compass House: a runaway haven by Thomas Rosaroilia Spectrum Staff Writer Compass House, a non-profit residential facility for run-aways and one of many varied interests of the Community troubled teenagers, is Action Corps (CAC). 7 pm According to CAC Project Head for Compass House, Gary Schroeder, there are approximately 30 volunteers at Compass House funning counseling and discussion groups as part of the six month project.

This volunteer staff supplements the 8 member paid staff that works at DEMON SEED Julie Christie 8 30 PINK PANTHER Compass House. “Our philosophy emphasizes that we should help the run-aways work out their own problems with the guidance and empathy of the counselors,” said Schroeder. “We offer counseling, not advice.

Openness encouraged CAC, a volunteer community service organization, recruits volunteers for Compass House and other community service organizations such as hospitals, day care centers and social service programs. CAC’s Drug and Youth Counseling program is primarily concerned with recruiting volunteers for Compass House. The Director of Compass House, Rich Hayes, said that run aways “must be opened and trust us. We want them to share their problems with us and other run-aways.” Compass House, which has been in existence since 1972, operates. on federal donations from community organizations and charities. It houses up to eight run-aways at a time in a coeducational fashion. There are two all-night resident counselors on duty from the fuU time staff and two volunteers on duty on any given night. The professional paid staff, whose members have degrees in social n-iiwc provide instruction and training to volunteers. Run-aways are usually referred to Compass House by different social service agencies and stay at the house from three to five days. At the end of their stay, some go back home, while others are seat to foster homes or detention centers. At the beginning of their stay they must sign a contract agreeing to abide by the rules of the home; an II p.m. curfew, and no drugs, liquor or weapons are permitted or the premises. They also agree to attend weekly counsdiig and discussion groups. Minors must receive the permission of their parents in order to stay. Those over 16 need no such permission but are enconraged to notify their parents. Although few of its charges have criminal records. Compass House is legally obligated to assist the police in criminal investigation involving one of their residents. Hayes estimates that 90% of their run-aways are from the vicinity of Buffalo.

What turns a good play into a great production? What makes an actor run through practice after practice until he could drop, and then go out on stage to give it all in a final glorious effort? The College B Players have an answer to that. Although none of them are actually theater majors, all profess a love of acting and a deep satisfaction from meeting the challenge of performing before an audience. The Players are a group of interested actors who are members of College B and have the dedication and stamina to stage a production on their own.

Such tournaments may be sponsored again by the JSU in the hear future, according to JSU President Mitch Nesenoff.

Likewise, because of the mini blizzard, the film “Exodus” was cancelled and will be shown at an undetermined date next semester. “These events are organized in such a way that they have a purpose,” said Nesenoff, who explained that the purpose “is to create Jewish awareness on campus, by bringing out the Jewishness in each student.” Nesenoff admitted that the program “could have been better if the two cancelled events had been shown,” but added that JSU will continue to sponsor events and show films. The organization features a film every other Monday night in the Squire Conference Theater, free of charge. Future movies include: “Hester Street” and “Kazablan.” Nesenoff said that the JSU will have another Jewish Awareness Week next semester. for the second straight snowstorm. It looks like we'll be "shoveling off to Buffalo" the rest of the winter, ’ The Odd Couple is the story of Oscar Madison and Felix Unger, two good friends whom fate throws together under a single roof. Oscar, a complete slob, is protraye<J convincingly by Geoffrey Gerber, who encounters strong personality conflicts with Felix, his natural opposite, played by John Cima. The play evolves around problems that develop when Felix’s fastidious cleanliness clashes with Oscar’s familiar, sloppy way of life. Gerber admires the character of Felix and wishes he could play it although he is admittedly better suited for the role of Oscar. “Felix works in a guilt complex; I admire his mind,” Gerber says. Comedy and tragedy Other College B players have wide ranging ideas about acting. “It’s just memorization of lines until you get out there,” said Cima. “There’s something about being in costume that makes you become the character.” Another member of the cast said, “WeTe out there, above all, to have fun.” Still another said, “I’ll still piss my pants on stage!” One of the unique features of this production is that Gerber, who is playing a leading role, is also the director. When asked if this created any complications, members of the cast replied, “Sometimes he can’t see his own mistakes.” One comments, “His position is difficult. It’s hard to objectively offer criticism when you’re busy thinking about your next line.” The players have occasionally brought in outside spectators to aid with criticism and directing to some degree. “The only way I could have done this is through College B,” said Gerber. “How else could a group of non-theater majors pursue their interests in acting and have fun without the competition of the theater department?” Tickets for the Odd Couple can be purchased at the door.

On October 14, he received word from the Director of the FBI, Clarence Kelly, denying his request on the grounds that he is a fugitive. On October 20, Beyer filed yet another request stating that since he turned himself in at the Peace Bridge, he was no longer a fugitive and the denial was not valid. A consequently response to this second appeal was received on December 2, stating that it would indeed be reviewed; however, 320 other appeals were Beyer’s his. ardent before attempts to obtain his file are based on the possibility of being information within important to his future court case.

Beyer added, however* that should his case come to trial, from page 3— the expenses will be exhorbitant. Defense committees which were organized prior to his return are organizing extensive mailings to raise money. The last SHOO of the $5300 raised in the last few months was spent on a relatively small mailing campaign. Future plans include a massive mailing of 250,000. Among the leading organizers of funds and -activities for Beyer’s defense are the Smiths of Avon and Gar McArthur of New York that Beyer revealed City. McArthur directed a petition campaign in Greenwich Village 3,000-4,000 which drew signatures. Eighteen states have also shown their support of Beyer along with Sweden, France and England. Financial support is not the only element necessary in his case, according to Beyer. He said, “People are needed for the mailings and benefits in order to raise funds.’’ Anyone interested in on the defense working committees should call now through January. "How 36 extra "I used to be too to do much of anything when I had my menstrual period. It was like losing at least three days every month. Then, last year, I switched to Tampax tampons. Now I'm always on the go." Making every day count is what Tampax tampons are all about. They eliminate chafing, bulk and bulges. In fact, once the tampon is properly in place, you can't even feel it's there. And Tampax tampons are uniquely designed to conform to individual vaginal contours.

Friday evening, die Student Association (SA) Executive Committee, dissatisfied with the magazine’s quality, voted to direct its Sub Board I representatives to cut off funding for Ethos. Sub Board, the student corporation, allocated $4500 this summer for nine editions of the magazine. If the SA Student response to Ethos has representatives vote as a block, their five tallies will be enough to been dismal.

According to Ethos Business Manager Michael Volan, Bartlett felt she could not devote adequate time to the publication. “Laura qualified, is a competent individual who unfortunately has not had the time to be fully devoted to her The SpECT^UM Vol. 28, No. 41 State University of New York at Buffalo Wednesday, 7 December 1977 position,” Volan stated. ' Ethos’ general image among the student body was felt to be poorly defined. SA Treasurer Neil Seiden said the magazine “has no image. We keep throwing things into it,” lamented Seiden, “and comes of it.” SA director of Academic Affairs Bob Sinkewitz and Vice President for Sub Board Jeff Lessoff voted against killing Ethos. Seiden felt Bartlett provided “questionable editorial leadership.” It was generally felt that Ethos strayed too far from University issues. Business Manager Volan commented: “The magazine’s problem is that it had not enough campus-related coverage. The image of Ethos is as a nothing ninority-related publication debilitating. Ethos’ passing comes a year after financial difficultiesforced a halt to publication in 1976. The magazine was once a highly respected and quite political publication, campus offering significant competition to The Spectrum in the banner years of 1969 and 1970. A steady slide in popularity began in 1973 and has continued to the present. Recent student support for Ethos has dwindled to a low this fall, when of copies lay thousands untouched. ey rule‘Student Ghetto Old at 9 they ', do today, that they shouldn’t be bothered with upkeep of the property if the landlord didn’t bother. Residential streets surrounding the school are comprised of two main groups, according to UHCC Housing Specialist Vince Burkard. The first are students and young working people who may stay in a house three months or three years. The other group are retired and elderly persons, long time residents who live quietly and go by Denise Stumpo Feature Editor Editor’s note: This is the third in a series of articles focusing on off campus student housing and the rights of tenant, landlord and neighbors. Dissident students of the late sixties-early seventies did more than plant bombs in campus buildings. They blew the minds of their off campus neighbors who witnessed explosions on their own streets and may have seen kids tripping on LSD and “flying” off the porch next door. Right or wrong, associating riots, free sex, drugs, and filth with students has shaped the attitudes of residents in the “student ghetto” neighborhood surrounding the Main Street campus. Negative feelings about radical University students have persisted, though the typical student of today no longer fits the description of a hippie. Generalizationsabound “They look right through you,” said one student on Heath Street concerning his neighbors’ reaction when they pass on the street. “At first I would smile and say hello but I gave up.” Former Director of Off Housing Heidi Lewis Campus pointed out that students often feel inhibited about making the move toward an older neighbor. “Students generalize too,” she said. “They form all impressions that stick first — through the years that they may live in the area.” The end product students associate is alienation only with students, permanent permanent residents with residents. The street never really — relevant to ‘artsy’ type people.” Volan partly blamed a lack of student participation for Ethos’ dreary showing. He felt a “Wide disablement” among student governments concerning the direction of Ethos was also to bed around 11 p.m. Generation gap The lifestyles of these two distinct groups have led to much friction in the past.

Houses and property deteriorated noticeably. Residents watched their home neighborhood grow dingy and unkempt, and placed the blame on students instead of absentee landlords. Many students felt, as against neighbors’ houses. “Parking is an intense issue,” siad Battaglia. Many houses lack driveways and complications arise because some student houses support as many as six cars that must be left on the street. This can prove to be a source of irritation, known as territoriality psychology books, “when their car in front of their house for 20 years and now has to park down the block,” Battaglia said.

Currently he is a fldl-time law student. by Henry l«y Simon Special to The Spectrum On the front page of the Buffalo Evening News of Thursday, December I, 1977, there was a story by Roland Powell, News Washington Bureau, headlined “FBI Files Tell of WNY Drive Against Leftists.’* Parts of that story do grave injustice to this University. If they are left uacorrected. The Spectrum readers may be deprived of understanding an important era of this University’s history. The major thrust of Powell’s 70 column-inch report is that the FBI used a variety of means mostly unethical to defeat projects and punish people on the FBI’s shit list. That is hardly news to those of us who, at one time or another, have tried to improve the quality of life in this country. There is nothing especially revelatory about FBI harassment and intimidation and anyone who reacts with “shock” is indeed naive. Now, to specifics. In a woeful display of irresponsible journalism, Powell writes, “Herbert Aptheker was a national Communist leader who was invited to speak to students of the State University of Buffalo (sic) in 1962 ...His speech wes arranged after the students heard Sir Oswald Mosley, a British Fascist leader ...” This is a damnable tie and an insult to many honorable people still associated with this University. I was a member of the Convocations Committee of the Student Senate in 1962 and, with fellow students, careftilly selected speakers who could ably represent various political persuasions. The invitations were all made at the same time. What is so irritating and so contempt able is Powell’s assertion, implied if not expressed, that some untoward influences were at work. Our “Spectrum of Political Thought” moved from right to left. There was no arranging of Aptheker’s appearance in the sense Powell dsims - - - First was Mosley. Then Russell Kirk, regarded IS years ago as the intellectual leader of conservatism in this Powell was at the scene and, unless he’s been sampling FBI drugs, he is obligated to have a decent memory. In fact, there were two demonstrations. Physically separate. No mingling. There were literally different groups. The University demonstration was located on Niagara Square. It was open only to students and faculty. That was not a naive or rhetorical proposition. The demonstration In no way could any observer, casual or professional was carefully scrutinized by student marshalls. journalist, reasonably think that the situation was The other demonstration was composed of a coalition otherwise.

If there are two people more responsible than me for achieving Aptheker’s It may seem strange to you that there were two appearance, they are Leslie Foschio and Richard groups protesting the same abomination but not meeting. Siggelkow. And so, a bit of history. The only way to mount a successful protest (i.c., drive HUAC out of town) was Les Foschio was President of the Student Senate when through the Student Senate. It was a matter of money, the arrangements were made. He is a moderate man whose among other things. There were many very conservative most radical act, to my knowledge, was to read a Senators.

Powell quotes FBI assessment of his to the anti-HUAC demonstrations of April 1964. He goes reporting as “again fully favorable to the security on at great length with the FBI’s strategies for dealing with responsibilities of this bureau.” No doubt it was.

And he blurs the matter of this University’s Wonderbread has to pumpernickel. So the Buffalo Evening News is finally able to confirm involvement in that protest. By deft omissions, Powell gives the impression that University students, Communist what the FBI has admitted.

There is one parking lot on Chippewa Street run by an old drunk who hasn’t changed his clothes in quite a long time. The smell is overpowering. “I’ll be here until four a.m.,” he said. “The flat fee is 75 cents.” He is handed a five-dollar bill It may as well have been $100. “I don’t have change for this." He is offered $.35 for two or three hours and refuses the sum. The car is parked on the street. But it’s dark. A few years ago, a pimp was accused of killing his 14 year-old lady. She didn’t want to turn tricks anymore. So he murdered her. West Chippewa Street is the Buffalo area’s red light district concentrating prostitution into a three block span of bars and strip joints.

Sposato Spectrum Staff Writer A controversy over whether this University should limit the number of students seeking to live in dormitories is currently developing. Assistant Vice President for Facilities Planning John Neal has stated, “There is a moratorium on dorm construction at this University,” while Project Manager for the State Dormitory Authority Paul Moran has countered, “There is no moratorium, dorm requests are accepted or rejected through the State University Central Office.” Student Association (SA) President Dennis Delia sees the problem in a different perspective. “If the academic departments stop taking over dorm space, there would be enough space for all students who wish space, the moratorium is on academic buildings not dorms,” he commented. Moran continued, “there have been no requests for more residence halls from the University of Buffalo.” He suggested that the possible reason behind the absence of requests for dorm space here is a lack of projected enrollment figures, which was subsequently conformed by the Housing Office, Facilities banning and the Statistics Department here. All agreed that no feasible formula exists for determining just how many students will apply for dorm space from year to year. SA solutions Concerning overcrowding, Delia stated, “There are two alternatives that SA is considering right now. One is to eliminate students for housing by allowing just so many students and no more, and the other is to get students in housing anyway possible,” and continued, “SA hopes to clear up the estimation and planning process used by Housing in determining how many students will require dorm space from year to year.” Assistant Housing Director Madison Boyce stated, “The main option being considered by Housing to accommodate excess students in the future is to reopen Pritchard Hall (formerly Cooke Hall) on the Main Street Campus at a residence hall,” a statement confirmed by Neal of Facilities and Planning. Pritchard is presently occupied by the Music Department and other administrative offices which are being transplanted to Amherst. As the University slowly completes the move to Amherst in the next few years, Governors and Ellicott Residence Halls, with capacities of 800 and 3200 students respectively, will remain the sole residential units there. Clement, Schoellkopf and Goodyear Halls at Main Street will continue to house undergraduate students, even after the transition period is over sometime in the future. According to Boyce, “The overcrowding problem is not known for sure until the housing lottery takes place in April.” Boyce also stated that “the majority of the problem comes about because of late registration, and is composed primarily of freshman and transfer students.” An editor of the student newspaper at SUMY at Albany, the ASP, said, “The problem here has reached the point where students are housed in hotels off campus. This is arranged by Housing at no extra cost to students, but there are inconveniences: no food service, distance from classes, and general distance from campus activities. The Housing Office has also converted half of an administrative office tower into residential rooms. Realizing the shortage of dorm space, the trend here is for students to move off campus.” The student paper at SUNY at Binghamton, Pipe Dream, has reported, “Half of the incoming freshmen this fall were tripled in double rooms. Two hotels were used to house approximately 150 students, mostly transfer students.” The Housing Office at Binghamton explained its novel approach to the problem, stating “In midsummer when it becomes obvious there are not enough dorm rooms, letters are sent to new students informing them and encouraging them to come up in the summer, stay in the dorms temporarily and look for off-campus housing.” At SUNY Stonybrook, the managing editor of The Statesman said that an overcrowding problem existed there, but that the situation had been largely overcome by the attrition of dorm students. Let it mowI Broken plows and (parking) lots of snow force closing • * A weather forecast of more snow and the fact that two big plows on the Main Street Campus were decommissioned by transmission problems late Monday night were primary factors in the decision to keep the University closed yesterday after it had been shut down at about 3:30 p.m. Monday afternoon, according to Vice President for Finanace and Management Edward Doty. He felt yesterday that the University would probably be opened today, noting however, that the decision to close on Tuesday had not been reached until S;30 a.m. that morning. Doty continued that the Amherst Campus had been in workable condition on Monday night but that approximately 300 cars were still stuck in Main Street Campus parking lots.

He added, that the open terrain is also partly responsible for the mice. However, Griffin said that there have been no complaints since The Spectrum ’s last story. He confirmed that with the cold weather and snow causing construction to decrease or stop, there will be a significant decrease in the mouse problem. Director of Custodial Services Richard Cudeck said that he has received very few calls about mice since the beginning of November. “With the onset of colder weather, doors are closed almost all the times, and mice have less of a chance to enter buildings,” he said. “Mice dig holes along side the buildings where the ground is softer,” added Cudeck. He said that there may be mice at the Governors Residence Halls, but Eiiicott is the worst.

ROUND TRIP Autopsy a must TO N.Y. PORT AUTHORITY by Joel DiMarco Staff Writer Have you ever wondered where people go after they die? The usual response to that question generally involves. Heaven, Hell, Nirvana, Valhala or some other but in purely physical place terras, all people usually end up in the same place the County Morgue. It is this place that has the not too enviable task of determining who has died of what. But this job is performed not to merely discover whether a person was murdered or committed suicide, but also keeps track of the general health of the entire community. The Coroner’s Office is a kind of back-up line of defense in identifying and isolating possible problems, potential poison epidemics and even fire hazards. To accomplish all this, medical examiners (M.E.s) must often pull a number of skillful and often seemingly impossible tasks. Partly, this is true because of the nature of the work. After all, one can’t just ask the corpse where it hurts. Nor can it answer questions like, “Who killed you?” or even, “Did the doctor who treated you do something wrong?” — — Organs and autopsies The first step in answering these questions is to perform an autopsy done whenever the cause of death is questionable. Essentially this is simply a carefully done, very thorough is Every organ dissection. examined, described, removed, and if necessary, weighed, biochemically analyzed. Every word spoken during this process is recorded by a voice-activated tape recorder. The autopsy begins with the M.E.’s decision as to likely cause of death. After this autopsy, the body is kept in a cooler until after the analysis is completed. If any more information is needed, the cadaver can be readily be obtained. The analyses used for obtaining the of subject facts are considerable turmoil in the Coroner’s office. The methods of biochemical analysis have names like gas chromatagraphy, SDS gel electron electrophoresis, microscopy and the ever popular venous thin section. All of these must be performed on some very expensive equipment, all of which is readily available at this University but because of budget cuts is often unavailable to the Coroner’s office. staff is extremely The competent but suffers continually from chronic budget cuts. To save money, technicians are borrowed from the staffs of local hospitals as they are needed. While they are on duty, they frequently are overworked and don’t even know each other. After the autopsy is completed and the coroner is convinced that every scrap of evidence has been obtained from the body he releases it to a mortician for burial. In criminal cases the procedure is a bit different. When a suspicious death is reported to the police, a medical examiner is sent to the scene. There he takes photos of the death scene and a performs preliminary examination of the body. He may even draw a chalk outline around the body just as is seen in the movies. After the autopsy is performed the coroner then informs the police that a homocide has been committed. The police may not act on the assumption that a homocide has been committed without the coroner’s expressed permission. After the autopsy, a coroner’s inquest is held. This is a legal proceeding in which the coroner presents his findings to the police, next of kin, press and any other interested parties. These inquests are often quite routine and include the testimony of any one present at the time of death. The rest of the time, the medical examiners are quite limited as to what they can say about any particular care. On occasion such inquests launch full massive, scale investigations. A classic and recent example is the Richard Long murder. On the day of the killing preliminary a exam was conducted at the scene of the crime at about 3 a.m. on the day of the murder. The autopsy was begun at 5 a.m. and the inquest was at 9 ajn. in the presence of Justice Norman Stiller, who then impanelled a special grand jury before noon the same day. The Long murder occurred five months ago. & - *35.0 HEMPSTEAD, LI.

In the fall of 1977, 1 moved to New York to attend graduate school and subsequently subscribed to The Spectrum.) Although all newscasts have something to be desired, I must agree with William A. O’Brien (Dec. 2) on his comment “Jackass Barry Lillis.” However, I would like to place the blame on the people of Buffalo. Buffalo has decayed into mediocrity only because its citizens have decided to accept it Buffalo has the potential and ability to be a progressive city.

Stoned on LtOk Shocking Thill To the Editor: To the Editor. • — I would like to comment on the letter by William O’Brian in Friday’s The Spectrum. I am unfortunate enough to be able to watch Barry Lillis only once a day, and I don’t let him insult my intelligence; I simply sit back, light up a joint, and enjoy “Weather with a Fool." I am writing this letter in response to Richard Thill’s letter of 11/30/77. I quote from his letter; “consider the usual male gay circuit: street cruising, men’s rooms, gay bars, pathetic ads in the Personal columns of sex papers. This depersonalized promiscuity is inherently superficial, squalid and ungratifying. Its lovelessness bespeaks serious emotional problems and is attributable only slightly to social repression of homosexual practices.” Unfortunately I find that argument to be incomplete. Where does Mr. Thill get his information T.H. Cocoran Gung-ho Lillis on the “usual male gay circuit,” and how can he say “attributable only slightly to social repression of homosexual practices”? I certainly do not know. Perhaps Mr. Thill is right. A possible solution to deviance in sexual relations would be the fitting of an electric device on each member of society which would administer increasingly painful electric shocks to any member who tries to commit deviant sexual acts. Gene H. Schwall P.S. 1984 approacheth! To the Editor: A totally ridiculous letter to the editor, written by William A. O’Brien, appeared in Friday’s edition of The Spectrum. The letter centered around the insulting unprofessional, uninformative, and behavior of Barry Lillis. That’s right, Barry Lillis, the - Useful ‘misdirectory To the Editor: gung-ho WGR weatherman who appears nightly on Channel Two, at six and eteven o’clock. I would like to ask the author of that puzzling letter a question. How can the conduct of one man, who appears for only five minutes on a news telecast, relegate Buffalo into a “pitiful situation?” It’s beyond me how anyone could put the blame on Buffalo’s community problems on a second rate weatherman. I’m sure outsiders aren’t badmouthing Buffalo solely on the premise of Mr. Lillis’ actions. In my opinion, Barry Lillis is doing a fine job of reporting. Contrary to Mr. O’Brien, I find Mr. Lillis to be very informative and knowledgeable. Just because he is a little unorthodox in his manner of dress and delivery is no reason to jump on the man’s back. I believe Mr. O’Brien has let his personal prejudices influence his uncalled for accusations. Further evidence of Mr. Lillis’ value has shown in Channel Two’s recent turnabout in its ratings. Ever since Barry has been employed at WGR, their news ratings has increased significantly. This has even prompted the other two local networks to modify their weather presentations to keep up with the energetic Mr. Lillis. In addition to giving fine weather forecasts, Barry frequently takes time out to promote various community affairs throughout the Metropolitan area. To all of the above, Mr. O’Brien has suggested we get rid of this man and “immediately stop this shameless insult.” I think the jackass Mr. O’Brien refers to in this community isn’t Barry Lillis: it is, indeed, himself. Our Student Directory a final word “Sticks and Stones may break my bones but names will never harm me.” Okay, let’s cut the name calling and accusations concerning exactly who is responsible for our — . “pitiful” “misdirectory.” Is the directory of practical use to you the student? Here are some points to ponder. 1. There is a complete “Campus Service Section” from pages 25—56. This is a convenient way to reach any campus-related organization. 2. On page 2 there is a simplified map of Buffalo showing exactly where you can find the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Kleinhans Music Hall, Greater Buffalo International Airport, etc. 3. Page 3 has a detailed map that will show you how to find your way around Buffalo via Metro Bus. 4. Page 24 shows the academic calendar for the school year. 5. The rest of the yellowpages contains the area To the Editor. This is both a response to three critics of my letter (dated 30 November), and further information pointing to the “palace guard” mentality of Sub Board and those who supposedly act as our representatives. In her letter to The Spectrum (dated 2 Ms. Helen Swede states that I overestimated Mr. Van Nortwick’s salary (my figure was around $20,000.) According to her, all I had to do was ask Mr. Van Nortwick what his salary was and he’d tell me. I tried that on Friday, 2 December, but Mr. Van Nortwick was out. Nevertheless, I did know at the time of my letter exactly what Van Nortwick’s salary was; Ms. Swede, you must be one of those people in SA who never read what’s put in front of you. Van Nortwick’s gross salary is $18,732; with benefits it comes to $22,745. Ms. Swede, your ignorance of the facts is as great as the arrogance of others in Sub Board or on the Council. You are a prime example of what I stated in my first letter, that the Sub Board student representatives are not doing their job with a few exceptions. Speaking of arrogance, 1 would like to address Michael Apa’s comments. Mr. Apa signs his letter as a MFC student; what he doesn’t let anyone know in his letter is that he is also a “card-carrying” employee of Sub Board. Mr. Apa is paymaster of the organization real courage Mr. Apa. But Mr. Apa does make some valid points about the GSA budget; the overhead is too high. So what? Mr. Apa never bothers to mention Sub Board’s administrative price tag 192,050 dollars out of a budget of some 750,000 dollars (yes, Mr. Apa 1 know how much you make too and it’s overpriced too). But one point is overlooked. GSA reduced its budget last year; Sub Board increased theirs. December) The SpECTi^UM Wednesday, 7 December 1977 Editor-in-Chief Managing Editor — Brett Kline John H.

Rick Alperton Salesperson for University Directories Sub Board arrogance Jay Hager Vd. 28, No. 41 9 - — — Finally, I would like to address Mr. Zoler’s comments. He states that the GSA Executive Committee and myself never came to him and broached any problems. According to Mitch, if we’d only go to him and speak with him, our complaints would have been heard Ill let someone else point out the times in which people from GSA approached Mitch, especially during the summer budget hearings But the main point I’d like to make is that Mitch ignores the fact that Sub Board and its representatives have a responsibility to inform their constituents about what’s going on; this has been done in poor fashion. The only way one learns about Sub Board’s wheeling and dealing is through an occasional expose in The Spectrum. Zoler, Apa and Swede have one common thread of discussion in their letters. They are all “outraged” that 1 didn’t have the courtesy to expose them to the contents of my letter to them prior to publication. This is tantamount to having them clear my letter To which 1 say tough! The rntyor forum for public exposure is the media; in this country’s system of open communication, no person has to “clear” anything if the information is correct. “Clearing” is reserved for sensitive information in a Defense or privated corporative organization . . . which is where I think that some people on Sub Board think they ... are. All three prove a point I hoped to make; Sub Board is too powerful an organization to act in response to students, who are not well organized and easily coopted. The role of Sub Board should be to facilitate a better quality of life for the students here; I find the trend going the other way, that the students exist and pay dues to facilitate the independent life of Sub Board. Jon Czarnecki �PODER boycotts Speakers Bureau To the Editor. Poder boycotts Geraldo Rivera That’s wrong! We are boycotting the Speaker’s Bureau and those people who want to program our lives on campus. Geraldo is our brother and part of our cultural world. We want him here with us and for everyone at the University to share. In your ad Geraldo Rivera (by the way, that’s Rivera, NOT Riviera!) is presented in a box. The public does not know why he is here or what he is supposed to speak about. Of course, we assume that no one is going to see Geraldo except to expand their experience by gaining an insight into our culture and what he represents for the broader culture kt large. Furthermore, we realize the enormous importance of providing the entire University community with an insight into the energy of Latin culture today. That is exactly what we stand for and what we are trying to do on campus. By setting us up against Geraldo, the Speaker’s commits an act of Political criminal negligence. They make us look like the bad guys in the movies. We are forced to demonstrate our opposition to the politics of the Speaker’s Bureau by boycotting Geraldo. The people will not understand our position, they will support Geraldo and line up on the side of the Speaker’s Bureau against us. These are the politics and sinister manipulations we reject, which we wish to expose as detrimental to the quality of life on campus, for us and for everyone. Once more someone at this University is trying to eliminate us by making believe we do not exist and refusing to consult us or consider us. To invite Geraldo without our support or participation is a clear indication that the Speaker’s Bureau wishes to Bureau FEEDBACK give us no credit nor grant ua any courtesies, nor help in our development in any way. The Speaker’s Bureau decides on its own criteria and for its own profit to rip off our culture and then sets us up for a public credibility assassination at high noon. In their next move they will make us disappear from their books. At that point, the Latino students on campus want to know if the Speaker’s Bureau is acting on its own or under orders. In fact, the entire student population wants to know, if the Latinos are the first victims of a Search and Destroy Activities Programming, who’s next? Others do not know how the Speaker’s Bureau exploits them, we are speaking for that majority. This letter is an appeal to the entire student population on campus. We wish to expose the politics of the Speaker’s Bureau. For our benefit and for the improvement of cultural life at the University, we recommend the following; 1. Full and direct participation in the fusing process of any cultural events. 2. Establishment of a central line of communication with the person or persons in charge and responsible for final decisions. 3. Policies and guidelines that are explicit and subject to approval and constant monitoring to The ‘right’ Kulyk To the Editor: After having read a number of articles by Andrew Kulyk, 1 am curious as to why he would choose the journal of the “bleeding heart liberals” as a forum to enlighten the University community. This, in lieu of the fact that there already exists a journal which, I believe, would be more apropos to the viewpoints which Mr. Kulyk holds. Furthermore this paper of which 1 am speaking could aptly be described as the antithesis of “bleeding heart liberalism.” It is published in Marietta, Georgia, and known as the Thunderbolt, the organ of the White Mans or American Nazi Party. I am sure Mr. Kulyk would find the Thunderbolt worth his perusal. Also he wouldn’t be troubled by liberal viewpoints because the Thunderbolt knows only one viewpoint, the “right” one. insure public support and credibility. In the past years this situation has always occured. We have been previously insulted by last year’s Speaker’s Bureau representatives who James D. Bilotta Film responsibility practically told us that we could not handle business matters in reference to booking and speakers, etc. Let us make it very clear that we exist on this campus and will not allow ourselves to be ignored in any form or way. To the Editor As movie coordinator for the Community Action Corps, I would like to apologize to those people who attended the 10 p.m. Friday night showing of the Friends of CAC movie, “Monty Python and the Holy Grail.” The last few minutes of the film were not shown due to a mistake on the projectionist’s part. CAC hires out the Educational Communication Center to show our films. This is the only group on campus allowed to provide this service. Naturally, we are the ones who must take the responsibility for anything that goes wrong with our film program. this of In growing dissatisfaction, age complaining comes easily and frequently. Our movie program exists not only to provide entertainment, but also to raise monies for our projects. Community Action Corps is an ongoing relationship connecting the University and the Community. We have a wide range of programs, from working with all types of children, placing volunteers in hospitals to helping older adults. The CAC Office is in 345 Squire Hall, and we invite you to come up for more information. Volunteer and become a Friend of CAC. P.O.D.E.R. Organization Documented in Cheektowaga To the Editor This is in response to David C. Konstanty’s letter (Dec. 2) and his questions and allegations concerning my article (Nov. 30) on Eugene Pierce and the Suburban Citizens Affirmative Action Commission. The article, as a first in a series, was basically intended to lay the background of past facts in Mr. Pierce’s struggle for equal rights in Cheektowaga, N.Y., and to bring the reader up to date. Mr. Konstanty’s charges of “inaccurate representation and disruption of truth” are absurd. The fact is that in putting together this article I relied on direct quotes from both sides and previously written documents. I simply reiterated the chain of events as they happened. If Mr. Konstanty would like to argue the point, I can prove to him that everything related in the article is indeed true, by showing him the accumulated documents that went into this article. Mr. Konstanty, you stated that 1 should “keep in mind that we’re dealing with a town in the U.S.A., no the Republic of South Africa.” The fact that these events have occured right here in the U.S. makes the matter all the more appalling. But the truth remains that although two people (the black Mr. Pierce and a white woman) read the prepared statement at the Town meeting, only Mr. Pierce was arrested. I ask you why? You also stated that, “If Mr. Pierce sees error in the system, then he must work within the system to see that the system meets the changing needs of the community.” Mr. Pierce did try to work things out with the town through a series of meetings with Supervisor Meyers. Unfortunately, Pierce and the SCAAC found the Board unreceptive to what he feels is an error in the sytstem. If the people who run the system (the Town Board) refuse to change the errors in the very same system, how are needed changes to be brought about? What happens when the whole system is the error? By reading his statement at the meeting, Mr. Pierce simply resorted to what choices were left to him. Finally Mr. Konstanty, contrary to your beliefs I am not some “story-hungry journalist.” I do not simply invent facts or bend truths for the sake of making a story more readable. Nor do I, as you suggest, expect fame and fortune out of writing these articles. I think Mr. Konstanty, that you should take your own suggestion and read over the article one more time. Except this time treat it as the factual report that it is and not as some fictional Arthur Freed Assistant Treasurer, CAC * short story.

To the Editor. our Third World Week ’77 organized by the Third World Student Association as a continuation of Third World Week ’76 represented an effort to inform the university as well as the Buffalo community on the crisis of imperialism and the resistance to it in the Third World and in the United States today. The positive response that has been evidenced shows again the need and the possibility of gaining a better understanding of the significance of the different economic and political events in the United States in relation to the rest of the world as well as of the Third World in transition. Encouraged and enthused by this positive response, the Third World Student Association would strive to continue organizing such activities in the future. This year’s event attracted an audience of more than a thousand, mostly students at U.B., who participated in one or more of the week’s activities. The plays staged by the New York Street Theatre Caravan, the lecture on the present situation in Zimbabwe by Sister Janice McLaughlin (who was expelled by the minority regime of lan Smith), the talk by Pablo Gustavino, a representative of the Chilean resistance movement, the filmshow on South Africa accompanied by a talk/discussion led by Dr. Asante in which to our pleasant surprise a South African student from SUNY-Fredonia came to participate were some of the events that elicited the most - interest, The success of this year’s event, however, would have been possible without the support, participation and assitance that were given to us by fellow students, clubs and organizations, community. groups as well as individuals. In this respect we would like to thank Womens Studies College, African GSA. College F, Organization of Arab Students, Zimbabwe Student Association at Buffalo State College, Latin American Solidarity Peoples Friendship Committee, US China Association, Western New York Peace Center, I.E.L.I., etc., for their support and participation. We would like to thank the main sponsors, the Student Association and the Graduate Student Association for their financial support. In particular we would like to mention the assistance of International Affairs Coordinator, Minority Affairs Coordinator, Academic Affairs Director, Student Affairs Director, Student Activities Director, Speakers Bureau, Black Student Union and Puerto Rican Student Organization, all of Student Association. We want to express our special appreciation of the Squire Hall Student Activities staff, Maintenance staff and the Food Service staff, who demonstrated an excellent attitude of cooperation towards our efforts to organize the different activities. This long list will remain incomplete without due acknowledgement of the work done by The Spectrum and its Editor-in-Chief, Brett Kline, who helped in publicizing and covering the activities of Third World Week ’77 for a larger audience.

Students harass students by Daniel Hannafin Spectrum Stuff Writer It’s no easy task for a student to work at this University. While a student employee is looking over his shoulder to make sure that no administrative foot is about to step on him, it is very likely he’ll be kicked by a fellow student. The above lines are not quite as metaphoric as they may seem. Walter Avramenko, a student, works at Richmond cafeteria, and is supposed to make sure that no unauthorized persons enter the cafeteria while meals are being served. As a result of doing his job one evening, he had a fork thrown at his face. According to Avramenko, “I saw someone eating a meal which I knew he hadn’t paid for. When I asked him to leave, he started throwing food at me. As I was pushing the food back at him, he picked up a fork and threw it at me.” Although this case of physical violence is an extreme example it respresentative is of the harassment which students at employed this Unviersity receive from other students. A student who works in the Porter claims, mailroom We’re constantly being blamed for late or lost mail. Most of these complaints are invalid." ‘ Pub patrons This mailroom employee feels that he and his fellow workers share the burden of most complaints against the mail service. This is because “we’re the people with whom students come into contact,” he says. “Most students don’t care whose fault it is that their mail was lost. They’re angry becuase they didn’t get their package or letter, and it’s easiest for them to blame the mailroom staff.” The students who work in the Fargo mailroom claim they receive the same kind of invalid complaints. They were angry about a letter printed in The Spectrum which blamed them for late delivery of mail. One worker commented, “We deliver the mail when we receive it. It isn’t our fault if we don’t get the mail early.” One student whose job it is to check IDs at the Ellicott Pub says that many students give him “a hard time.” He says: “Although they are aware they must show their ID card to get in, a lot of students come down here and try to get in without their ID cards. They get angry at me when I won’t let them in.” IDdfaputfen Although many students complain about the rules at the Pub, it appears that not many are seriously interested in getting the rules changed. According to one bouncer, students “Many complain to me about the rules, but they know I can’t change them. I know of only one case where a student went to the director of Food Service and complained about the rules.” David Stillwell, who works at the information window in Squire Hall, says , that workers there receive their share of harassment. According to Stillwell, “Students may rent mailboxes inside the office here. They are told that they won’t have access to these boxes after five o’clock, yet many insist cm being allowed in after five. ‘They verbally assault the workers for doing their job,” he said, “but they rarely complain to those responsible for making the rules.” Stillwell also said he “knew of a night manager being swung at by a student.” He called this case, however, “an isolated instance.” In some cases, students who feel they have been wronged do seek to blame the right people. The dissatisfaction with this year’s ID cards, and the consequent search for those responsible fo;the design is a good example of this. Even thoikgh some students were trying through proper the channels to have new cards designed, workers on the ID card line received a lot of trouble from students. One worker claimed, “Many students would write their date of birth on the card. When they did this,” she said, “we would have to throw the card away and make a new one.” Another worker said, “A lot of students come in for their ID without their schedule card. When I tell them I can’t give them an ID without their schedule card, they get angry at me.” Not all students make life miserable for students who provide services at this University. Workers agree that many students are patient and understanding. It is these students that employees are willing to go out of their way to help. As one mailroom worker said, “I try my best to help a who has student a valid complaint, but when a student gives me a hard time, he only getting me succeeds in also be avails Me. In order for students to be considered for Federal campus-based funds, the FAF form should be returned to the College Scholarship Service, with the required fee, between January 1 and January 31. The SUNY at Buffalo Financial Aid Application (Form UB) should be returned to the University Office of Financial Aid no later than February 28, 1978.

Wednesday, 7 December 1977 �Royals win opener, defeating Oswego Great Lakers, 70-59 SPORTS V by Joy Chile Frazier and Kris Schum, came through alien they had to and reacted well to pressure. She felt the play of her two freshmen centers, Janet Lilley and Pat MacFherson, was excellent and said that starter Lilley played as well as she could play.” Buffalo’s scoring attack was extremely well-balanced (in contrast to Oswego’s attack, in which two players accounted for 38 of 59 points). Co-captain Paula Hills led the way with IS points, followed by Kris Schum with 12, and Lilley with eight. After that, there were four players with six points and all but one squad member put some points on the board. UB’s biggest problem defensively was containing Joanne Murphy and the Royals weren’t too good at that the Oswego forward ended up scoring 21 points. The Royals were also troubled by fouls and committed 23 personals (against 11 for Oswego). Sports Editor Compiled by Paige Miller The hockey Bulls won the Elmira Invitational Tournament over the weekend. In the opening game, Buffalo drubbed Iowa State 17-3, and then defeated Babson College 4—3 in overtime to win the championship. Brien Grow, a junior rightwinger from Massena, was the only Bull on the tournament’s all-star team. He scored a hat trick and one assist in the Iowa State contest, and played very well in the Babson game. Freshman Tim Igo scored the winning goal in the Babson game just 1:34 into the overtime period. However, according to Buffalo coach Ed Wright, the key to the win was the outstanding goaltending of sophomore Bill Kaminski, who made many difficult saves in the third period, when the rest of the team was clearly tired. Wright also credited goalie Mike Olsen with a key role in the Iowa State win. “They had some good scoring opportunities early,” Wright said. “But Olsen was up to the task,” and the momentum swung in Buffalo’s favor. The Bulls are now 4-2 and play next on December 12 against Cortland ai the Tonawanda Sports Center. Buffalo’s wrestlers also won a tournament this weekend. They scored 131 points at the RIT Invitational, 25 more points than the runner-up Kent State. Nineteen teams competed. The Bulls garnered four individual titles as Tom Jacoutot, Kirk Anderson, Jeff Wheeler and Paul Curka finished first. Jeff Mitchell finished second for Buffalo, while Ed Tyrell and Dave Tundo finished third and Bruce Hadsell finished fourth. The women’s basketball squad got the season off to a good start Saturday when they defeated Oswego 70-59 in Clark Hall. Coach Liz Cousins’ game plan of a pressing defense combined with a hustling offense worked as the Royals dominated the action throughout most of the game. Buffalo did l>ave a few problems in the beginning of the second half, however. UB had built up a 12-point lead by the end of the first, so Cousins decided to give the freshmen on her squad a chance to play. At first, that move looked like a mistake, as the Great Lakers capitalized on UB’s disorganization and turnovers. Oswego chipped away at the Buffalo lead until they tied the Royals 44—44 midway through the second stanza. “When you put inexperience in, they sometimes react funny to the fullcourt press,” explained Cousins. But the coach stuck to that line-up, and eventually they began to pull away. “They just needed an adjustment time,” commented Cousins. “ ... — More work Cousins said that her team needs some work on defense, especially boxing out. “The defense has to realize that their job is not done when the shot goes up,” she said. She wasn’t entirely happy with the way the offense was moving either. The team was pleased with the enthusiastic crowd that attended the game, and Cousins was happy with the way the team reacted to that crowd. “The players kept their cool with the crowd they didn’t play to the crowd or get carried away,” she said. The Royals’ game against Fredonia on Monday was postponed because of the weather. Freshmen centers The Royals started out slowly, but after they tied the score at ten all, they never looked back. Buffalo got their points on teamwork: good passing, unselfish play and a few steals thrown in for good - measure. Cousins praised her squad and said she was pleased with the way it played. The guards, Regina Buffalo’s women bowlers suffered their first defeat of the season at the Rochester All-College Bowling tournament. The Royals finished second behind Erie Community College. Sandi Tice of ECC won the women’s all-around competition, while Sue Fulton of UB was second. The UB men’s bowling team finished fourth among the ten men’s teams competing. Buffalo’s fencers returned to the varsity lineup after sitting out a year by losing a close match to Utica College 11-10. Buffalo's men won their match 10—8, but the women lost all three of their matches. Jonathan Solomon won all of his matches in both epee and foil. Bulls Ted Pawlicki and Wayne Conrad also were undefeated in epee competition. Tim Rogers, in his first competitive fencing match ever, won two out of three. Buffalo coach Tom Bremer said he tried to use as many fencers as possible, so that they would all gain experience. Bremer also noted that the team needs more women fencers. Interested women should contact him at 634-7521. The fencers have quite a wait until their next match at RIT on January 28. WELCOME TOTHETCHNTo/ know Return: The swimming Royals opened their season at Brockport Saturday, and despite a 70—61 loss, Buffalo coach Pamela Noakes felt that it was a good performance for the Royals. “Everyone did really well. For the opening meet, it was quite impressive that we almost caught them,” Noakes said, noting that Brockport is a physical education school. Carol Scarborough and Sally Cloutier each picked up three wins for Buffalo, while Mary Drozda added two. Becky Savage and Kim Andrews also swam a leg of the Royals’ victorious 200 freestyle relay. Buffalo set six school records, with Scarborough and Savage picking up two individual records. UNDERGRADUATE BIO.

UB's most glaring weakiiess, the lack of a good backstroker, hurt them against St. Bonaventure, according to coach Bill Sanford, now in his 29th season at the helm. Sophomore Jim Brenner, who won the 200 yard freestyle, had to repeat in the backstroke and lost. Sanford said the problem stems from the absence of last year’s backstroker, Jim Harding, who is academically ineligible. The outstanding swimmer of the meet for UB was Cesar Lopez, who won the 200 yd. breaststroke. Lopez came within a couple of tenths of a second of the best time of his life. The strongest members of the team are co-captains George Finelli and Chuck Niles. Both Finelli, a butterflier, and Niles, a sprinter, may compete in the NCAA championships in Long Beach, California, during March. Finelli. who ranks among the top three butterfliers in the state, beat the NCAA champion in the 200 yard butterfly two years ago. Also competing for the Bulls this year will be junior diver Mike Doran, freshman sprinter A1 Fritzinger and sophomore Paul Glauber. Doran was UB’s only double winner in individual events (both the required and optional diving) against the Bonnies. Glauber, a Student Association (SA) board member, hasn’t had time to get into condition, Sanford said.

Universities dominate Originally, SASU was open to operated schools, all state including community colleges. (In 1973, community colleges were denied entrance into SASU because they locally were funded.) At SASU’s initial meeting, community college fearful that delegates were representatives from the four-year schools would command most of the organization’s power, while in turn, four-year schools were equally fearful of domination by the four University Centers: Binghamton, Albany, Stony Brook and Buffalo. But a compromise was reached whereby voting power the of the community colleges was balanced against that of the state operated campuses. Also, the University Centers were given 3 votes each. Since SASU was conceived as a voluntary association and received no formal recognition from the Photo* by Pam Janaon Monday, 5 Dacambar 1977 State University of New York at Buffalo University’s Central SASU Legislative Delia's proposal. r, David Coyne (left), argues against Administration (SUNY Central), of the organization most statewide student When Borenstein assumed full governments were hesitant to leadership of SASU, he moved the commit funds for membership the central office to Buffalo and year. Some student appointed four part-time students initial government leaders could not see as staff members. The Executive their constituents’ Committee then investing adopted a money into an organization and a “statement of policy” prescribing vision that was new and as of yet priority objectives. untested. Those proposals a) were: SASU organized providing was direct services to differently from other statewide student government organizations; student organizations that had b) providing services to students formed and eventually folded.

Students with financial liability to the school, traditionally issued check stops, will no longer be barred from pre-registering. Instead, an indebted student will be issued a “tentative” schedule card, which will indicate that its owner still owes money to the school. The student will have until January 20 to fulfill financial obligations. After that, the tentative schedule will be wiped out. ' „ � � .... * If lines for drop and add are long this upcoming semester, at least they will be long at both campuses. Computer terminals will be placed at the new Lockwood Library at Amherst as an added convenience. Drop and add facilities at the Main Street Campus will not be weakened by the additions of terminals at Amherst. In fact, the drop-add process has purportedly been streamlined for this semester through a programming refinement which should result in quicker output. Various departments on campus have volunteered clerical services to staff the increased facilities at Amherst. According to Associate Director of Admissions and Records Peter Witteman, last semester s widespread registration hassles were a major factor in the decision to students," make improvements. “It’s just an added convenience for it’s and we decided out at Amherst people lot of five Witteman said. “A about time we put facilities out there.” • � * Drop-add begins on December 12 at Hayes Annex “B” only and runs from 8:30 a.m.-8:30 p.m. Monday thru Friday until December 22. The 23rd it will be open only to 4:30 p.m. Associate Director of Student Records and Registration James Schwender noted that the hours after 4:30 p.m. will be primarily for graduate students and Millard Fillmore students who are unable to use drop-add during the day. Drop-add will be closed from January 24 until January 3 when it will resume its regular hours. The Amherst facility will be open beginning January 16, Monday thru Friday from 9:30 ajn. to 4:30 p.m. When questioned about the changes, Schwender replied, “We are trying to get as many students as possible registered. We don’t know exactly how many additional students will be registered or aided but we can estimate that several thousand will be helped.” Student response as usual was varied on the planned changes. Responses ranged from “Great, I’ll have more time to clear up my problems with financial aid,” to a lethargic undergrad who said, “I’m —Joel Mayersohn still going to have to spend days at drop-add.” THE MULTIDISCIPLINARY CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF AGING promts Mr. William E.

We can use a fraction of the 11,000 times the and ten get own use SASU for our give to results. We certainly couldn’t do worse.” Immature and irresponsible Delia explained that Buffalo could use the SI 1,000 it gives to SASU in annual dues, to hire professionals who could be sent to Albany to fight for this University’s needs. He remarked that all the achievements involving construction have been realized as a result of efforts made by SA. It is irresponsible to stay in an organization that offers us nothing,” he maintained. of A number of people rose to the defense SASU, most notably former SA President Steve Schwaitz who, many feel, saved the day for the organization. Schwartz’s vitriolic assessment of his successor included a contention that Delia s actions were immature and the Delia’s belief that student government officials from this University could by themselves effect substantive legislation in Albany was absurd. “This proposal is being done out of irresponsibility and immaturitySchwartz said. “The big problem with SASU is what’s happening right here: nobody listens to anybody else. It is absoltuely ridiculous to think that UB could act effectively on its own in Albany.” York, Schwartz maintained that Western New which Delia feels is disenchanted, has no important legislators in the State Senate and concluded that SASU is essential to Buffalo’s well being. Legislative Coordinator for SASU Dave Coyne organization’s number of his a cited accomplishments including what he called “a 99 percent committment from the government for TAP {Tuition Assistance Program] awards.” He said that Buffalo stood to receive S 100,000 from the program and claimed that alone was well worth the $11,000 this University pays ii) dues. Coyne asked the Senate not to “pull out and make us carry the load" and echoed Schwartz’s assertion that withdrawing would be “irresponsible.” Delia countered Coyne’s remarks by maintaining that this University and its attorney, Richard Lippes, have in fact been most responsible for the governmental promise of TAP awards. He violently objected to Coyne’s plea not Ur make SASU carry the load, claiming that Buffalo has been carrying the load for years. “We’ve been sacrificing ourselves year after year,” Delia said, “and now we’re being asked to do it again. It’s about time we worked for ourselves.” SA Executive Vice President Andy Lalpnde, who has been at odds with Delia throughout the year, admitted that SASU was not the “most effective body,” but asked the Senate to be realistic. He termed a Buffalo withdrawal a “knee jerk” reaction and said “SASU should be given some more time.” Delia denied that what he was proposing was a knee jerk response and said that SASU’s “backstabbing” has been “going on for a long time.” SASU dream... —continued from page became nearly an impossible task. So, late in 1972, SASU again moved their offices back to Albany where they have remained since. Swelling membership 1973 saw the organization jell together as a unified voice for SASU leaders students. committed themselves to Opening up lines of communication and students between administrators. They monitored legislation and issued memoranda concerning their lobbying actions, applying pressure to legislators in an effort to secure policies favorable to students in the SUNY system.

Campus Editor The Group Legal Services (GLS) suit vs. University President Robert Ketter for the right to represent students in court free of charge will begin with a “show cause order"’ in Federal District Court today in front of Judge John T. Curtin. The “show cause order” mandates that GLS prove that there are sufficient grounds for a case against the University. The GLS program would be supported by student mandatory fees and would provide free legal counseling and representation to students. At the source of the dispute over the program are the SUNY-wide guidelines for use of mandatory fees. Those rules allow fees to be spent for “programs of educational, social, or cultural enrichment" of benefit to the canpus community and for “student services to supplement or add to those provided by the University.” The Administration has consistently held that individual representation of a student, as a concept, falls well outside the guidelines and on those grounds, Associate Vice President Anthony Lorenzetti officially rejected the proposal in June, 1977. President Ketter reaffirmed Lorcnzetti’s decision in July. Censorship? Lorenzetti’s opinion was that the program benefits only the individual and not the campus community, and that it was not the type of program that the SUNY Board of Trustees would term “a student service.” His understanding was that the “services” portion of the guidelines was meant for medical-type programs. However, GLS attorney, Richard Lippes has maintained the sponsor of the “student services” passage had programs just such as GLS in mind when he worded it Lippes, in his brief filed before the Court today, refers to the mandatory student activity fee guidelines and says, “It is not the administrative official’s task to determine whether or not in his opinion the money is being spent on a worthwhile function, or to in any other way censor the use of such money, but rather merely to determine whether the money spent falls within the guidelines In other words, GLS believes that the Administration’s rejection of their proposal is a violation of the students’ right to spend their money . Educational service Lippes claims that Ketter’s refusal to sign off any funds requested for individual representation of students through GLS is a violation of students’ First, Fifth, Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments to spend their money as they see fit, within the established guidelines. The brief states that the Program provided for legal representation and advice fdr student governments, a research and education component, a public interest law component, and a component to provide representation and advice to individual students at this University. He said, “Moreover, since the Program relies heavily on student volunteers, it was felt that students could receive educational benefits not available in otherwise their undergraduate school career.” Denial of rights Lippes believes the Administration is tampering with students’ constitutional rights. In a previous case involving the Student Association (SA) of Erie Community College (ECC), Lippes argued for the SA’s right to hire an attorney using acitivity fee money. State Supreme Court Justice John H. Doer wrote that by denying that opportunity, the ECC administration had violated the students’ First amendment rights. The Spectrum reported in September that SUNY Chancellor James Kelley reaffirmed Ketter’s decision against GLS. Kelley, in a letter to Ketter, said that certain programs might be construed as "services,” but may still not be “of benefit to the campus community.” He said, “It is our view that individual legal representation is of such a private and personal nature that it doesn’t conform to the concept of mandatory fees.” Director of GLS David Brownstein said that Ketter’s claim of legal reasons is a direct contradiction with SUNY’s Chief Council Walter Relihan’s position. Brownstein said, “He told me that he could definitely defend the University if they supported our program.” Earlier in The Spectrum, Brownstein said, “I’d be very surprised to lose” and Student Association President Dennis Delia said, “I’m pretty confident about the court case. We have an incredibly strong case.” SA Speakers Bureau and C.U.S. present Top Investigative Reporter Geraldo Riviera Tuesday, Dec. 6th at 8 pm Clark Gym TICKETS ARE FREE Commentary Turn out to four-course Tomorrow, the Faculty Senate will vote on the adoption of its Committee Report on Curricular Structure. The outcome mav have a profound effect on the academic lives of all undergraduate students at this University. At issue is the four credits for three classroom hours system essentially the four course load. The Committee’s report recommends a shift away from the current academic structure which allows almost all students to carry four courses at four credits each. The report’s proposals were arrived at without substantial student input and without what The Spectrum feels is adequate attention to the practical difficulties of implementing the plan. A strong exhibition of student concern about the report’s recommendations may influence the Faculty Senate to take a closer and more responsible lode at what is perhaps the most complicated and pressing academic issue to be decided at this University in several years. The Spectrum implores all students to attend the meeting of the Faculty Senate tomorrow at 2 p.m. in the Talbert Hall banquet hall (ground floor) on the Amherst Campus. Should the report be adopted, as appears likely, the already severe problems of overcrowded classrooms, inadequate bus service and shortage of faculty lines may be significantly worsened. The number, size, and frequency of courses presently offered at this University can barely be handled by existing facilities and staff. The effect of any thickening of the schedule is, at this time, immeasurable. This is precisely the reason tomorrow’s meeting is so important. Accordingly, The Spectrum would expect to see a large percentage of Student Association Senators present and representing their constituents. Tomorrow, 2 pjn., Talbert Banquet Hall. — DOB ruling due Library faculty waits for decision on quotas by Bnd Bermudez Spectrum Staff Writer The rank quota system for University faculty members, rescinded by the State Division of the Budget (DOB) in October, may still apply to members of the library faculty, according to Chairman of the Faculty Senate Jonathan Reichert. The quota system, which was instituted by DOB in September, limits the number of high rank professors at SUNY schools. The quota was rescinded as a result of pressure from dissenting faculty members throughout the SUNY system. The revocation of the quota left the status of library faculty members in question according to Reichert. Executive Vice President Albert Somit stated, “I think some of the people in the DOB believe that library faculty members don’t have the same status as other ranking faculty members.” “We’ve been met with a continual blank wall,” said Assistant Librarian and Professor Susan Chamberlin. No one is sure who will make the decision about the status of library officials or when it will come, according to Chamberlin. A group of visiting SUNY provosts from the central office in Albany were unable to provide any information, Chamberlin said. Temporary quota A resolution was passed by the Faculty Senate Executive Committee November 16 condemning the quota system for library officials. SUNY officials are still awaiting a decision from the DOB which may be disclosed in 3-4 weeks, according to Assistant Director of Libraries Saktidas Roy. Iq the meantime, Roy said, the library faculty is being subjected to a temporary quota established by SUNY officials. “We are getting support from the executive office.” he added. Existing bodies within Faculty committees have been making efforts to bring about a decision, according to Chamberlin. “It is not an organized, spearhead thing. However, we are getting strong support from faculty members and the executive office,” she claimed. The executive office has been sending letters each week to Albany in an attempt to coerce DOB to action, Somit said. No SUNY effort Chamberlin related, “When the question was first brought up. Dr. Ketter stated that he hadn’t noted any effort on the part of other SUNY schools to protest the matter.” This was probably due to the fact that most of the other schools have much smaller library staffs, and therefore the matter doesn’t affect these schools as much.” The burden was thrown on to the Library Faculty Committee to prove that the quota system is not an accepted practice at colleges throughout the country, according to Chamberlin. The fate of the quota for library faculty members now lies in the hands of DOB, and University officials must await the decision, Reichert said. Monday, 5 December 1977 The Spectrum . Page three . �Hayes Hall Shadows of the past remain by Colleen La Bam Spectrum Staff Writer Not so many years ago, die same buildings which students today complain are driving diem drazy and draining their funds, did in fact house the poor and mentally insane. University Archivist Shawney Flanigan explained the origin of the old grey stone buildings on die Main Street campus and their uses through time. Before the University bought die land on which the Main Street Campus is located, it was owned by Erie County. The old grey stone buildings still on campus were built by Erie County to house the Erie County Alms (poor) House. These include Hayes Hall, Townsend, Wende (Hocfastetter), and the Vivarium. The Erie County Alms House institution was created in 1828 to take care of people who were immigrants, stranded, poor, and/or mentally insane. The Alms house was originally located on Porter Avenue where the Holy Angels School is now located. Then,' in 18S0, Erie County bought the area on Main Street known as the Buffalo Plains the area that the University now occupies. The price then for die 154 acres was S 10,000. - Wende Morgue In 1874 Hayes Hall was built and used as the administration building and housed wards for the Erie County Hospital for the insane. The Vivarium located behind Hayes Hall was then a heating plant for the buildings. A poor house stood and was used for the indigent, sick, poor and mentally insane. This building was tom down in order to make room for Crosby Hall, built in the 1930’s. Townsend Hall was a home for the nurses that worked at the Alms House. There also was a It’s between Hayes and Crosby, called the Bunk House and used as a home for the interns. The older part of Wende was a group of buildings. They included a maternity hospital, bams because it was the outer city limits, and a morgue. An ambulance garage was located where the Abbott Library now stands. In the 1850’s cholera hit Buffalo. It hit especially hard at the Alma house, which was criticized for bad living conditions and its poor nutrition program. Whole families were admitted but children were later removed for their own health and protection and put into orphanages and foster homes. It was said that the Alms house reminded one of Charles Dickens’ description of debtors’ prison. cottage Hayes Hall hollowed In 1909, the University of Buffalo purchased 104 of the acres for $54,300. This was extremely less than the actual value but the County sold it for this price because it was to be used for a teaching institution. In 1909,UB did not amount to very much. Most people thought the school did not need all the land it had purchased. The leaders of the University though had visions and thus wanted an undergraduate college to be called the College of Arts and Sciences. Ironically, approximately 1000 more acres have been used and needed to facilitate expansion at the Amherst campus today. The poor house still operated after UB purchased the land. It remained on campus until 1920, then moved to Alden, New York. An interesting story has been told to Finnigan by someone who was at the University for a long time. It was said that if a member of the faculty threw a cigar butt on the gound, an inmate would all over now Due to misinformation, die ad for Hall and Oates ran Friday with incorrect place and opening act.

Gut and shell The first building to be constructed by the University was Foster Hall in 1922. This held the Chancellor’s office and science labs. It was inaugurated at the same time that Samuel P. Capen was named Chancellor. Hayes Hall was completely gutted and only the shell was used. The clock tower was put on by Mrs. E. Butler whose husband published The Buffalo Evening News. Remodeled in 1927, it became the main administration also used as an building, auditorium, library, classroom building, and student lounge. 1922, what is now In Townsend was called Science Hall. It was renamed the name Townsend Hall which was located downtown and was transferred to its present location. In the 1950’s while new roadways were being put in, bones from a cemetery of the Alms house were dug up. The Erie County Home and Infirmary succeeded the Alms House. The Infirmary kept their records which are invaluable for research use and historic purposes.

Council President Delmar L. Mitchell ordered the two men removed from the meeting. The pair was led out without incident by Council Sergeant-at-Arms Joel Giambra and Deputy Police Commissioner Anthony Custodi. Nevertheless, the visit by the white-supremacists jolted the proceedings. The two men identified themselves as Wayne Whiteside, who is in charge of the Klan’s local chapter and Klan membeV' Robert C. Karnath. According to Whiteside, the KKK is protesting the Common Council’s November 15 resolution which branded the KKK as “not welcome” in the city of Buffalo. Whiteside called the resolution “entirely irresponsible” and not justified in any way. “There are no grounds for the Common Council to censure any type of organization regardless of personal feelings,” said Whiteside. Hie Whiteside’s showing Apparently the two men used an area known as Floor 12% to change from their street clothes to their white robes. The area is just below the 13th floor and houses heating pipes. In an interview with The Spectrum after the incident, Whiteside said the KKK planned to “expand its operations in the Buffalo area,” and to “promote the good qualities of the Klan.” Whiteside would not divulge the number of Klan members in the area. In a comment on the Buffalo mayoral elections, Whiteside maintained that the election of James Griffin was a “responsible move” on the part of the citizens of Buffalo. If Arthur Eve had been elected, Whiteside claimed that “Buffalo would go down even farther than it already is.” popul there would not be “unisex” toilets if the ERA were ratified, says Reich. ‘That’s ridiculous, the would take away ERA distinctions on sex and would not interfere with privacy.” Reich also maintains that the ERA does not mandate homosexual marriage, rather the decision is left to each state. Under the ERA women are eligible for the draft since the passage of it would mean equal status for both sexes. To date 35 states have ratified the ERA and three more states are needed by March 22, 1979 to constitute a three-fourths majority. Recently there has been a move by pro-ERA groups to seek an extension of the seven-year deadline set in 1972 by Congress. What are the chances that Congress would approve an extension of seven years? “It is extremely unlikely to happen,” according to State Senator Dale Volkcr (R., Depew). He contends that the mood of the country is changing and people don’t want controversy over the ERA to drag on for another seven years. Volker says he supports equal rights for women but feels that the ERA, as it is worded, will only add to the confusion because it is not specific enough- He insists that problems could occur with the ERA if ratified, such as the draft, because the majority of women would not want to be drafted. ‘Approach is wrong’ One of the issues to come up in the ERA battle concerns homosexuals and “would have a decided effect,” according to Volker, “by knocking out all laws having to do with homosexuality. Volker maintains that most women would rather have some distinctions based on sex and the COLLEGE SKI WEEK CARNIVAL AT KILLINGTON, VERMONT • Every week in January Five Day Lift Ticket (Mon-Fri) Five Nights in Motel • • • (Sun-Thun) Ski 50 Runs, 3000 Drop Nightly Entertainment Dance to Live Bands Free Keg Party Wet T-Shirt Contest Surprise Extras ERA would do away with them completely. When asked if he thought the ERA would be ratified he flatly stated “no.” The pro-ERA people are not wrong in wanting equal rights, but they’re wrong in their approach,” he emphasized. In an editorial on November 15, the Buffalo Evening News criticized the attempt to extend the seven-year deadline even though they support the ERA itself. The Carter Administration, much publicized for its human rights campaign, plans to lend support for the extension. Obviously this is a many sided issue with valid arguments on both parts. How do students here feel about the ERA? ‘T’m not really that informed about it,” said one male, “but from what I’ve seen, it’s redundant. I don’t see any real need for the ERA.” Another male said, “I’d have to go along with it.” Of those students questioned. most are overwhelmingly in favor of equal rights for women but express their dissatisfaction with the wording of the ERA. “Stated the way it is I think it’s too vague. The idea behind it is good,” said a female student. “However,” remarked another, “twenty-four words do not make an amendment.” Tacky tax In other Council news, an attempt to override Mayor Makowski’s veto of a resolution to refund the occupancy tax failed by one vote. Twelve votes were needed to negate that veto but only eleven votes were garnered. As a result of that vote, the city will hold on to the $823,000 already collected for 1976-77. Presumably the city will continue to try to obtain the $8, $10 and $12 payments from those city residents who have refused to pay."’ Mayor Makowski vetoed the October 19 resolution for a number of reasons. Makowski pointed out that there was no legal precedent for the refund, which in any case, would possibly violate the state’s constitution. Makowski also thought that the resolution constituted an unwarranted intrusion by the Council into the fiscal responsibilities of the Mayor and city comptroller Robert Whelan. The controversial occupancy tax was adopted in 1976 as a means of underwriting a Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority deficit of $1.5 million. The revenue projection from the tax was never met. City Councilmen were hoping to use the $1.8 million property tax settlement from the Penn Central Railroad to cover the refund, but there is apparently no hope now for city residents to get back their money. The occupancy tax, after a brief, controversial life, has been laid to rest for 1977. r 1 L_ J by Denise Stumpo Feature Editor You finally realize the full meaning of the term “cabbage head” when you try to cut into one with a knife.

Would premeditating murderers suddenly reverse their notion that they have covered their To the Editor ; SASU referendum upcoming The question of whether the Student Association (SA) here should withdraw from SASU. soon to bo handed to the student body in a general referendum, is one of the most perplexing and far reaching campus issues to arise in several years. The future of the state-wide student lobbying organization conceivably rests on the outcome of that ota. The Student Senate voted Thursday by 16-9-5 to remain within SASU. while the SA Executive Committee is virtually unanimous in seeking SA's withdrawal. At this time. The Spectrum will refrain from making an editorial comment on the matter in hopes of gamering and presenting more pertinent information to the student public. Considering the ramifications of the referendum, students are urged to inform themselves es much es possible in order to meke a wise decision. What irks me about Andrew A. Kulyk’s letter (The Spectrum, Nov. 30) is not his opposition to capital punishment alone, but rather his unwarranted demagogic, arrogant, rabblerousing tone and his furious, almost pathetic, cliche ridden phrases that would have found a comfortable home in the reckless 1970 “hard hat” riots of New York. In his eight paragraphs, Mr. Kulyk used the term “liberal” or “liberalism” six times, and "bleeding heart” four times: such rhetoric, used in an extremely provocative context, serves to arouse anger on both sides, which allows him to skirt the concrete issues upon which an intelligent decision regarding this subject must be based. Will killing the convicted ressurect the dead? Would people who murder on impulse take the death penalty into tracks perfectly? Can you show any instance where capital punishment has been a deterrent? And can we possibly consider ourselves, as a society, more civil than the convicted if we resorted to killing ' . themt I bring up these arguments simply to show how Mr. Kulyk has not addressed himself to any of them. His preference is to attach a political label to a side of an issue that is essentially moral in nature, and to encourage the police to be trigger happy. If Mr. Kulyk truly wishes to have an intelligent discussion regarding capital punishment, 1 would suggest that he refrain from the provocative, inflammatory rhetoric that he relics on. :v Jerry Haft Kulyk’s distortion Be there To the Editor: The most important academic decision this year wilt be rendered by the Faculty Senate tomorrow when it votes on its 30 page report on I would like to respond to Mr. Kulyk’s letter the four course load.

An ounce of prevention is woth a pound of cure. Admittedly this is all very idealistic and perhaps should be temepred with the realism of the immediate present. However the point of my letter is this: in the future, Mr. Kulyk, in presenting an argument, would do better not to take it upon himself to voice the opinions of a group or an individual representative of that group. Mr. Jay Rosen, even if he is to be chosen as the agent of bleeding heart liberals, did not suggest the suspected police killers were martyrs for a cause and probably does not claim innocence on the part of the suspects in connection with the killings (if they are the killers). Obviously, they should be held responsible for their deeds. However, Mr. Kulyk, through exaggeration and distortion of a contrasting point of view, loses credibility for his own argument. ...

Considering all the name calling and half truths that were evidenced before the Committee convened, it is truly remarkable that its members were able to solve the card's problems in such a short period of time. It was a wise decision to reject an Administration proposal that would distribute cards in January only to freshmen and transfers in order to get the kinks out, then disperse them to everyone in April, considering the added delay students would be forced to endure. The successes of the Committee serve only to demonstrate that students and administrators can work together when given the chance. The Spectrum Vol. 28.

At times he saw himself as a perfectly normal toll collector at a suspension bridge in Kansas. He sometimes though, became a crazed, cigar chomping, vegomatic repairman who prowled the streets at night looking for drunken carrots and down-on-their-luck eggplants. It was at these times of decadence that he felt himself neurotic, though he certainly was proud of his slick opening line which was: “Haven’t 1 peeled you here before?” In everyday life Heim was a college student majoring in the anthropology of drum majorettes with a minor in bauxite mining in the South of France, though he had never been even to the North of France, unless you count that bottle of French wine he had ordered in a northern hardware store only to be told that brand had been discontinued. But this is neither here nor there, which is an accurate description of Heim’s life. He had always found it difficult to blend it with his peers, since he had little idea what the phrase meant. He once believed it to be “blending in with his piers” and appropriately, purchased a rotted wooden pier in Council Bluffs, Iowa, dressed himself in grey, splintered clothing, and lay supine on the surface with his right arm in the icy water. He also ate pounds of chocolate cake so that his face continually broke out, thus creating the illusion of barnacles. Heim had delusions of grandeur quite often. They usually ended in disaster. He thought he was a brain surgeon once. After disassembling the patient’s brain and putting it back together, he suddenly looked up and said, “Heavens, I’ve lost the cerebellum!” His nurse said, “Well, where did you have it last?” Perhaps this was the reason for his relative lunacy. He never liked to run with the crowd. He refused to drive on the right side of the road simply because everyorie else did, and decided that red lights were a communist infiltration mechanism. He even placed a candy gram to the House Unamerican • — - by Jay Rosen Activities Committee regarding the traffic light espionage, but they failed to reply, he assumed because they did not favor chocolate-covered cashews. Even still, he attempted to get secrets out of the traffic lights by discreetly offering them bottles of Russian Vodka and full-color posters of Olga Korbut. Heim Outavitz took a lot of kidding about his name and thus became quite sensitive. His obtrusiveness turned him into an introvert so much so that at Christmas time, he hibernated by dressing himself as a package and sneaking into a department store window with only a paperback guide to shower massages to read. It was a mind easing respite until somebody put him on lay-away and left him there. When Heim signed the lease for his one-bedroom flat, he did not take the landlord literally and was very surprised to find one bedroom completely flat, that is, the ceiling touched the floor. This made sleeping nearly impossible, so Heim stayed up through many a night, cursing his landlord and filing his fingernails into elaborately shaped nuclear warheads. When Heim bought a small foreign car, he again did not take the salesman literally and was dismayed to find that the car was made strictly for small foreigners. The numbers of the speedometer were written in tiny Japanese letters, the car only took gasoline extracted from the mountains of Sicily and the radio only played Icelandic folk songs. It was so small that a number of times he swallowed his knees while driving. He could never fully comprehend how this happened, since he was able to fit the car in his vest pocket and did so, quite often. He could not however, fit his knees in his vest pocket which he saw as one of those apparent contradictions. Heim Outavitz’ life was a series of contradictions. He considered himself a rational person, yet often found himself doing crazy, unexplainable things such as showing up at Bowling for Dollars disguised as a Redwood Tree. Everything went fine until the host of the show threatened to slice him up into so many picnic tables. Heim decided that he was, after all, basically Outavitz. �Diamond nosed director To the Editor: The Spectrum performed a major public service for the students of this University in its article on November 14 entitled “Students and faculty snarling computers" by warning them of the “hard nosed" attitude of the Director of Computer Services toward “antisocial” people “evading” the computer archiving system. It might be of interest to users of the computer to know just how hard nosed the Director is. One day in October a faculty member in the Department of Computer Science had the output from five computer runs confiscated by order of the Director (it was returned two days later under strong protest) and had access to five of his computer accounts disabled by order of the Director (they were all enabled within a week, again after strong protest because this faculty member had displeased the Director. He had not, I emphasize, violated anyv defined policy nor was a shred of evidence adduced by the Director that he had done so. Diamond-nosed, you might say. Now after much correspondence and protest, we, students and faculty alike, are only threatened “request with a for disciplinary action.” Nevertheless, he still has not defined an understandable policy about an archiving system which one of my colleagues has defined as “antiquated and potentially destructive”. Nor has he presented any evidence that a problem exists now or is likely to exist in any foraeeable future or that any user, student or faculty member, of the computer facilities has acted in other than a responsible way. Still at least he appears to have undergone a belated conversion to due process instead of acting as legislator, judge and jury himself. We might It this stage in his development call him wooden-nosed. All of us, students and faculty alike, have an obligation to use all the facilities here responsibly which means, at least, that our use should not hamper the use of others. But at the same time we have a right to demand administrative policies which are motivated by appropriate evidence and clearly defined and where accusations of supposed violations are supported by accompanying data'. We also have a right to demand that, instead of threatening users with disciplinary action, the services provided should be first rate rather than second rate and antiquated. When in fact both students as well as faculty demand their rights we shall perhaps find that administrators like the Director become positively putty-nosed. Anthony Ralston, Chairman Department of Computer Science Forecast is rain To the Editor: I am writing this as a concerned student concerned with the ill-advised comments made by, Mr. O’Brien concerning one of Buffalo’s institutions: weatherman Barry Lillis. It is well to remember that Barry has what can be considered the easiest job in the world that of forecasting the weather in Buffalo. His job entails reporting rain in the forecast from May to October, and snow in it the rest of the year. Remember he doesn't have to ever be right. If it rains or snows then he was right and you can’t fault the guy for being right; if however for some stupid reason the — sun comes out, are you going to get mad because the weather forecast called for rain? Not in Buffalo, 1 don’t think you would. It is Barry that brings light into our eyes with his witty tongue and ridiculous actions; who else would wear 47 T-shirts or put the upcoming weather into one word and describe it as “miserable,” “cruddy,” “horrendous” or “Yeccch.” That is absoluetly excellent. So Mr. O’Brien, you can attack our school, our city (NYC) or even our poltical beliefs but you can’t attack our Barry. Concerned Students for Preservation of Barry. Steven Shovel Steven Del Nunzio United Way thanks effort I would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank all of the organizations and students that helped us make the first coordinated effort to raise money for the United Way a success. On a completely voluntary basis, individuals in organizations suph as Tau Kappa Epsilon and Sigma Tau Gamma fraternities, Chi Omega sorority, College H, Ski Club, Inter-Residence Council, members of the Student Association, University Union Activities Board, and The Spectrum gave extensive time and the many fund-raising events that were organized to raise money for the United Way. Thanks to all of them we were able to contribute approximately $2000 (two thousand dollars) to the October United Way Campaign. These few words of appreciation go a small way to honor them for their outstanding and worth} achievement on behalf of those less fortunate. Thanks again. to Dennis Delia, President Undergraduate Student Association La decadence matter that the majority of students is leaving here with a worthless degree, just To the Editor: education, it does not There seems to be a serious problem at this University and it revolves around the students’ moral and social decay.

Bob Johansen Only faculty lots plowed To the Editor. job clearing snow from the parking areas. There has been oniy two snowstorms thus far, each inadequately plowed. Every lot was filled with snow and chunks of ice, making parking impossible. It seems that only faculty lots are somewhat plowed. After all, who is paying to attend UB and who is being paid Unremoved snow creates only a portion of the parking problems. It’s the idiots who park their cars every which way that pose the main problem. Diagonally, sideways, they don’t care, as long as they get a spot. Some of these people should realize they are not the only people that have to drive to school. Who said Buffalo was a friendly place? Buffalo people, like all other people, look out for numero uno, the rest of us follow way behind. Frank W. Price No to SASU by Mark Teitelbaum Damn, it’s due tomorrow and my lab partner, Debbie Thompson, has the results. Looking through the 500 or so Thompsons listed in the Buffalo Telephone Directory only adds to the pain in the pit of my stomach. Oh well, it’s only 2.5 percent of my grade. Through my sophomore year (1974-75), the University was still publishing a directory listing the students and faculty, unfortunately none were available to the students. By fall semester 1975 it wasn’t even any use stealing one; student names had been deleted. Oh well, A.A. Thompson, does Debbie live here? Figuring MGM 499, an Independent Study in Marketing would sit well on a transcript, 1 began “A Feasibility Study for a Student Directory at SUNYAB.” Demand forecast, market potential, consumer acceptance, 700 interviews, 23,000 lines of computer printout and several hundred dollars in out of pocket expenses later it was complete, maybe even feasible. As University Directories Inc., the directory was underway in May. 1976. The line “16 hours a day, 7 days a week is greatly overused. In this case it is not In the next six months I learned the meaning of work. The most time consuming and by far the most difficult task In publishing a directory is to sell advertising. One has a breakeven cost of around $25,000. Above that there is profit, below that, loss. It is not an easy figure to reach. Many merchants don’t like you, the University at Buffalo student That’s funny, because you spend a lot at their establishments. Others, and I can honestly say the majority, do want you, do offer you good products, back up what they sell, charge reasonable prices, and do care about you. Many of the later do advertise in The Spectrum and the Student Directory. As a practical matter, they bring you these publications. One last word: check these Businesses out, they are good people. Getting back to the directory, last year after a lot of hard work we published the directory. Unfortunately, there was an error in the housing computer tape and 2200 dorm addresses along with the first three digits of the corresponding phone numbers were incorrect. The person most deeply hurt by this was me. My only consolation was that the directory was still used 3.7 times per week by the “average To the Editor. I think it is absolutely ridiculous for this University to remain a member of SASU. For years I have felt that SASU was simply a waste of our money, but now, after SASU has apparently stabbed us in the back in favor of Stony Brook, a “unwise.” why should we remain in that organization? Friday’s The Spectrum quoted several SASU delegates on why Buffalo should remain a member. Steve AUinger implored Buffalo to remain in SASU “for the sake of unity.” Clare Reardon said “this oiganization is based on unity,” and asked SA President Dennis Delia to reconsider his decision to student.” After learning of the error last year, Dick Canale, assistant director of Admissions and Records, supervised the computer program. We ran test tapes to see that the error was corrected and it was. We were assured this "ear the listings would be correct. They weren’t. A new error developed with the dorm students. At this time, I wish to regress a moment and describe University Directories Inc.’s relationship to the school. Under the sponsorship of the Sub-Board Inc. and at no cost to the school or students, it has agreed to publish the directory. University Directories Inc. is a private outside contractor; it does not have access to University files as such. In our contract with Sub-Board Inc., the first paragraph reads as follow: “1. Sub-Board hereby agrees to supply (University) Directories (Inc.) a computer printout of the names, local addresses, local phone number and permanent address of all students at the State University of New York at Buffalo, except those who choose not to be listed. Such names, local addresses, and local phone numbers will be delivered to Directories no later than September 20, 1977.” That paragraph tells how we got the names of the directory, who is responsible and perhaps what happened. Having worked with computers myself, I took the logical necessary steps to avoid a repetition of the problem from last year. On the I.D. lines, under the auspices of Sub-Board we had directory information update forms available and many thousands of students took advantage of them. We went to Admissions and Records, spoke to Dick Canale, had the error corrected, and ran a test page to insure that error would not be repeated. Dick Canale, for his part, was most cooperative and saw to the corrections. Throughout, Sub-Board was most helpful and offered their assistance where ever it might be needed. Finally, when I picked up the final printout I looked up a few friends and their addresses were correct. Fault, blame and responsibility all parties concerned share. 1 did not run a more thorough check on the printout. Admissions and Records made the actual error. Sub-Board as the party who supplied the printout. Again 1 apologize for the error. I and the other students both current and former, involved with the project are most hurt by the damage this error causes. We sweated, toiled, and put together a directory as best we could. The consolation I can offer the student body is that it did not cost you anything, and you are none the worse with it. withdraw. Allan Clifford established organization non-member, Guest Opinion — To the Editor. 1 can’t believe this school doesn’t do a better FEEDBACK said and that to SASU is an withdraw is The same backwards logic that led SASU to lobby for construction funds for Stony Brook, thereby hurting Buffalo, is evident here. AUinger, Reardon and Clifford are telling us what Buffalo can do for SASU. They failed to tell us what SASU can do for Buffalo. If the best reason they can give for Buffalo to join is that it would help them immeasurably, then SASU is in poor shape indeed. And Delia is certainly correct when he says it’s stupid to pay someone $11,000 to fight against you. I’d like to end on an optimistic note. Most of the listings are correct. In the dorms the addresses are correct, and phone numbers can always be obtained through the campus operator (a service unavailable for off-campus students who in many cases have a phone in only one name and often of a roommate). There is a full listing of departments, useful on-campus service section, and a yellow page section full of merchants who are sincerely interested in your business and will work hard to keep it. Lastly, when a number is incorrect, you can always just add the correct one and use the directory as it should be used. My sincerest apologies. a Paige Miller Monday, 5 December 1977 . The Spectrum . Page seven �Blizzard of 78 Buffalo residents get ready for snow by Colleen LaBarre Spectrum Staff Writer Are Buffalonians preparing themselves for a Blizzard of ’78? The answer seems to be a chilling “yes.” Retail sales managers of snowblowers in the Buffalo area agreed that people are getting ready for bad weather now. One manager stated, “To a certain degree the increase in sales is due to the people who anticipate a repeat of last winter.’* Not only have the sales gone up, but instead of the buying season for snowblowers starting in August and September, they started in July. The make of snowblowers that this store handles was sold out and the store ordered more from the midwest and Canada, only to be sold out again. The manager felt sales will stay up through next year, therefore his next order will be larger. Snowblowers have changed since last year. One dealer claimed that each model has gone up approximately sixty dollars in price. One new model has an electric starter. Some models have a two-tier system of snowblowing. It first takes off the top layer of snow and then the ground level. Here comes the sun? Another dealer that handles various makes of snowblowers also reported that sales are up. He feels the storm triggered people’s minds into thinking about better snow removal equipment. “Everything is sold out with a few exceptions.” he stated. “I did not order any more the people who were going to buy snowblowers because of last year’s blizzard have already purchased one. The sales started in August instead of the usual October." He does not expect another large demand unless we get a similar blizzard. He his a different view than other dealers about ordering for next season. He stated, “The market will be saturated with snowblowers by next season. Hie demand will not be more than usual so my ordering amounts will remain the same.” Four-wheel drive vehicles have also enjoyed an increase in sales. An owner of four-wheel drive trucks and jeeps for eleven years said that he ■uni.iiy waits at the most a month for his jeeps to come in. This year though he ordered one in March and did not receive it until July. He mentioned that he has never encountered suph a backlog on these .vehicles. Are people overreacting? What is the weather really going to be like? Astronomer at the Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences Erast Both ■ill, “The meteorologists are being cagey about the whole thing. They yw that it is going to be a colder than normal winter. We are also supposed to have two to four more years of the same kind of rotten winters.” He predicted a winter not much different than last but probably without the blizzard. “Last year’s blizzard was due to unusual weather conditions off the west coast,” he stated. “Usually the winds from the Pacific will dump the snow on the Rockies, but last year the winds went to the arctic and then south and dumped everything on Buffalo. A foreignfilm on America? What happens when a foreign director decides to make a movie about the American Frontier West? In the case of Frenchman Claude Lelouch and his film Another Man, Another Chance, he gives it a distinctly European flavor. The scene is Paris, 1871. While working in her father’s bakery, Jeanne (Genevieve Bujold) meets Huster), a young Leroy (Francis Francis photographer who is taking pictures of the breadlines. He has decided to go to America and start A new life, and Jeanne, suddenly infatuated with the idea of taking pictures in a new world, decides to break her engagement to a young military officer and join him. Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, David Williams (James Caan), an American veterinarian, is having problems with his wife. She (Jennifer Warren) wants to move to Philadelphia, and is threatening to take their newborn son with her. But she is murdered by a group of bandits and David is left to raise the nhjlrf by himself. Seeking a fresh start, he moves to another town and eventually crosses paths with Jeanne, who has left her little girl in the same boarding school that David’s son attends. -w‘ The story unfolds in a typically delightful French manner, leisurely cross-cutting between the lives of Jeanne and David. Lelouch s camera technique is particularly attractive, avoiding the ponderosity that could easily result in the telling of parallel stories by filming many scenes with a single camera. This technique seems confusing at first, following people through hallways and down streets, and shifting focus from one person to another, but it soon emerges as a simple, fluid means of filling in the details of each scene. The music, by longtime Lelouch associate Francis Lai, successfully underpins the on-screen happenings. From the appropriately pomp baroque of Beethoven’s Fifth to the homespun charm of the original compositions, Lai, an Academy Award winner for his score to Love Story, gives us just enoujgh. And so does all of Another Man, Another Chance. Lelouch has been careful not to overrun his intentions. Once the union between David and Jeanne is established, Lelouch brings this tasteful, engaging love story to a timely conclusion, At Amherst and Eastern Hills Cinemas. -Stemetky ' Fact Finals week: study now and sleep later If you want to do well on your finals, study before you steep, not after. Research shows that you will recall more if you study before you sleep rather than waking up and cramming before your exam, or pulling an all-nighter. Researchers are finding that hormones produced during sleep may have an effect on memory. Within thirty minutes after falling asleep, the hormone somatrophin is released and stays at a high level for the first half of the night. It decreases afterwards. Those who are- awakened early in their sleep will most likely have poorer recall because of the high hormone level in their system. These levels return to normal after waking. The first study on the effects of sleep on memory wfcre conducted by I.G. Jenkins end Karl M. DaHenbach in 1924.

Although it has been repaired to its former now shape, rotund it is unavailable for basketball. The basketball backboards were irreparably damaged by the new storm and new ones still have to be delivered and installed, and that will take time about three weeks, according to the Director of Recreation and Inframurals, Bill Monkarsh. - The Bubble is virtually the only facility on campus equipped for playing basketball and its unavailability leaves basketball players high and dry. Although there are hoops in the main gym of Clark Hall, that area is almost always in use by Buffalo’s varsity teams. Last week, the main gym was open to students for less than 10 hours. Angry students Students, already angry about the sorry state of recreational affairs at this University, are extremely frustrated about this additional setback. 'The facilities were terrible to begin with this only worse,” makes them complained one student. One freshman even blamed his 15 pound weight gain on Buffalo's sparse athletic facilities. Monkarsh conceded that these is a monumental problem, but also said that the only thing for students to do is wait. “Everything’s being done that's humanly possible to get that thing fixed,” he said. - on page Women’s bowling wins big The women’s bowling team picked up another tournament victory Wednesday when they topped five other contenders at New the Western York Invitational at Squire Lanes.

She is currently working on a master’s degree in physical education at Springfield College. Her previous collegiate coaching assignments have been at Kent State, Springfield and at Queens College. pag* 9— one expected to last five years. Monkarsh bemoaned the lack of recreational facilities here and stressed how important they are to the University community. “Problems arise at this University because there’s no place for students to let off steam,” he said. “In Buffalo, we are indoors for six months out of the school year. facilities are Recreational absolutely necessary.” The Bubble is still, open for tennis, weightlifting, jugging and volleyball. Tennis courts will be up every day on a first-come, first-served basis. “Death Row has been revived,” wrestling co-captain Kirk Anderson, after Buffalo’s heavyweights (Death Row) had dominated the action, helping Buffalo squeak past Edinboro 25-21 in their season’s opener Wednesday night at Clark Hall. When Bulls’ heavyweight Paul Curka pinned Gil Hense just one minute and thirty-two seconds into the match, it sent the partisan crowd into a frenzy and capped a rally in Buffalo which saw them come back from a 19-4 deficit. Buffalo still trailed 21-19 when the 270 pound Curka stepped onto the mat for the final match of the evening. Curka, a two time third-place winner in the National Junior Collegiate Championships, was making his debut in a Buffalo uniform, and it took little time for him to take his opponent down. In complete control all the way, Curka had little trouble registering the pin. “I knew I could win it,” Curka said. Prior to Death Row, Buffalo’s lightweights floundered, as only junior Ed Tyrrell could manage a Jacoutot, Tom Mike win. Jacoutot, Dave Tundo and Pat Riley, all newcomers to the Bulls, each lost their match. Anderson, leading off Death Row, was coming off a fine winning performance at the Colgate Open, and left no doubt that Buffalo was on its way back. Buffalo’s 158 pounder never gave E din boro’s Keith Schloss a chance. Anderson registered a near-fall in the first period en route to a 5-0 first period Starting from the advantage. proclaimed bottom position in the second period, it took Anderson only eight seconds to escape, and about a half-minute more to pin Schloss. Bruce Hadsell returned to Death Row after a year’s layoff. Hadsell went to the NCAA National Championships two years ago, but looked a little slow in the first period, as neither he nor Edinboro’s Tim Giger could score. Hadsell, however, warmed up in the final two periods and registered a superior decision, making the score 19-14. Buffalo’s 177 pounder, Dave Mitchell, looked like he would continue the Bulls’ onslaught, as he fought to a 6-2 lead, but then tired. Edinboro’s Ray Yeager picked up several points when Mitchell was cited for stalling, and Yeager picked up a final point because of his riding time advantage, tying the match at 6-6. Buffalo’s next wrestler, Jeff Wheeler, hung on bravely at the end to move the Bulls even closer. Wheeler was in what looked like winning form, remaining on top of Edinboro’s Jeff Bradshaw the entire second period. In the third period, Wheeler was taken down and sprained his ankle. Obviously allowed slowed, Wheeler Bradshaw several quick points, but with the score 5-4 in Wheeler’s favor, Wheeler set his jaw and Bradshaw picked up no more points. Wheeler’s win moved Buffalo to within two points of Edinboro, setting the stage for Curka’s dramatic win. Buffalo coach Ed Michael was pleased with the win. He felt that Wheeler’s win was the turning point of the match. �i’ ROOM AVAILABLE in comfortable Main/ LaSalle, studio.

For the second consecutive frustrating year, a substantial proportion of the telephone listings in the University’s student directory are incorrect. The 200 page book, which appeared on campus Wednesday, six weeks lata, carried telephone numbers for dorm students which were 80 percent in error, according to a survey taken by The Spectrum, and confirmed by Mark Teitlebaum, the publisher. The dormitory addresses of nearly all students were accurate, a significant improvement over last year, when most on-campus addresses and phone numbers were hopelessly jumbled. Surprise! „ ' • Some type of computing mistake in the transfer of dorm telephone numbers from housing files to the University’s Central have to Computer appears resulted in the incorrect listings, At the time ofrius writing the exact nature of the error was still being Investigated. The source of last year’s problem, also a computer reified error. Was found and corrected months ago. This year, inaccuracies are the result of aarifeSM* and as yet unexplained hurriedly flipped through the directory only to find their phone numbers incorrect. Assistant Directpr of Systems Management Richard assured Canale Teitlebaum that last year’s error was corrected and that the program to extract and print the listings from the computer this year was bug-free. difficulty. Teitlebaum, President of University Directories, Inc., has claimed he is not legally liable for the error, but that the University is charged with the responsibility of providing correct listings. Sub Board I, the student corporation, Teitlebaum’s company the exclusive right to distribute the directory on campus.

Delia feels funds will be hospital at the Long Island-based campus, instead of being given for Main Street Campus renovation Campus and Amherst construction here. Delia’s decision to pull out of SASU and possibly contribute to its eventual demise ironically conies only months after the Student Association gave the organization a $5000 interest-free loan, successfully saving it from imminent financial collapse. In return for making the loan, Delia John -said, SASU President Duggen promised him that every effort would be made to enhance for Buffalo the prospects construction. Instead, Duggen led the lobbying efforts for Stony Brook construction efforts in a move that many student officials here feel was designed to woo Stony Brook into joining SASU. Delia was furious at SASU’s traitorous actions, seemingly calling Duggen a liar and his organization useless. “We are a member that has been loyal,” the indignant President said “We deserve at least as much attention as the non-member schools. It is just completely unfair that the student government is foresaking us. We’ve got the problem of qualify education here We’re the only problem that isn’t being solved. We’re just sitting here When asked why he felt SASU would turn its back on Buffalo, the organization’s largest fee and consequently payer, their jeapordize relationship, Delia blamed the political orientation of the SASU constiuency. “All they are concerned with is downstate problems,” Delia charged. “It’s not in vogue to worry about Western New York. It is in vogue to worry about CUNY (City University of New York). All of York is Western New called the moW “very tacky,” saying he can make such arrangements on his own without Duggen’s help. In a more intimidating move, Delia claimed that SASU Legislative Co-ordinator Dave Coyne promised that overtures aimed at Delia’s impeachment would be made if the SA President were successful in his withdrawal attempts. If Buffalo does pull out of SASU, Delia claimed he will use the $11,000 in fee monies to hire professional lobbyists to work in the interest of construction here. “We will start a lobbying campaign in Albany,” he said. “We’ll pull out of SASU and send our own people there. Well have internships and hire hustlers. I’ll be damned if I’m going to spend $11,000 to have someone fight disenchanted.” against Professional lobbyists The prospect of a Buffalo withdrawal from SASU has and brought conciliatory action from the threatening organization’s top officials. Delia claimed that Duggen. in an attempt to dissuade him from taking drastic action, presented him with a plane ticket to Albany and an appointment with an important legislator there. Delia Stick it out If a Buffalo withdrawal from SASU is not fatal, it most certainly will be debilitating. Steve former SA Allinger, President at Geneseo and present Unionization Director of SASU explained that this University is the most important cog in the SASU machinery, saying the organization would “look stupid” getting screwed.” One immediate ramification of SASU’s turncoat actions was Delia’s demand that SASU repay at once the SS000 loan. Delia’s move was a direct result of his ire towards SASU. “Perhaps,” he said, “They might find out that what they did was not a good alternative.” us.”; —continued on page 24 — �Newspaper chains Profits and growth ScliuAAmeidterd Ski C^iub provide motivation by lay Rosen Managing Editor is fast In this era of vanishing breeds, another hallowed institution The shirt on its way to a dusty place in American media Folklore. the one sleeved, started-as-a-copy-boy, hometown newspaper editor prepared to walk the proverbial plank for his community standards valedictory has meant, and is, almost without notice, disappearing. His will continue to mean a manifest change in the character of editorial pages across America. This addition to the endangered species list is a trailing effect of chain ownership. Huge the major trend in newspapers today publishing conglomerates, clutching the reins of dozens of newspapers at once, have cavalcaded onto the American media scene and now control 71 percent of the nation’s daily circulation. Chains are swallowing up locally owned papers, then carting in outside editors who too frequently tone down what are often the only printed voices in the community. The trend is so profound that, within two decades, most dailies will probably be commanded by a dozen or so giant - - — publishing generals. Common as Edsels In its characteristically belated style, Congress has begun the laborious process of braking this speeding corporate train. Congressman Mo Udall of Arizona is attempting to raise support for a three year study of the effects of chain ownership. Representative John LaFalcc from Tonawanda has expressed similar concern. Three years, though, might be too late for the local newspaper owner. The Goliath Gannet chain, for example, owns 73.pcpers, many of them local monopolies. Competing dailies are about as common today as Edsels. Fewer than 3 percent of American communities benefit from their newspapers locking horns each deadline. The newspaper man who happens to run a business has been largely replaced by the businessman who happens to publish newspapers. Today’s chains generally institute “local editorial autonomy” in place of corporate headquarter dictums, basically because they could never get away with William Randolph Hearst’s front page delusions of grandeur so prevalent fourty years ago. Since many of the editors are not “local” they are often not so “autonomous” either. The fear is that the editorial page and the balance sheet, in the ideal proudly independent, will become business partners. Kept in chains S.Aj| Speakers Bureau and C.U.S. w •' ik.-i*.' . Cites j~r\ present *" Top Investigative Reporter Geraldo Riviera Studies have shown chain papers to run fewer editorials on controversial local topics. While power and influence were once the motivating forces for most publishers, profits and expansion appear to have taken over. The rap against chain papers is that they have become predictable and homogenized. Readers, and just as importantly, advertisers, are often left without alternative choices other than television, which for all its glory, simply does not provide a comparable forum for either group. Local ownership is certainly no guarantee to a vibrant and autonomous newspaper. Yet there is sufficient empirical evidence and moral appeal to the argument that an independently published paper with deep local roots is best for the community. Newspapers, though never mistaken for the local bloodmobile, have always been, in some sense public servants. Gannet’s difficulties in serving 73 different publics are understandable, yet worry some nonetheless. Bankrolls The local vs. absentee ownership issue is now being spotlighted in Buffalo through the Courier-Express' current battle with the Buffalo Evening News. The Courier, owned for generations by Buffalo’s Conners family is struggling for survival as Omaha millionaire Warren Buffet bankrolls the News towards what he hopes will be national 'prominence and local monopoly. Ironically, the liberal Buffet left his hands out of the News’ political endorsements this fall, allowing the traditionally Republican leadership at the paper considerable “local editorial autonomy.” The Courier, though, has always been the gutsier editorial voice and quicker to blow the whistle on perceived wrongdoing. If the big fish swallows the little, and another competitive market swirls down the drain, Buffalo may find itself, well, up a creek flowing one, and only one, direction. Concern over the growing chain of media command deserves a carefully tuned public ear. — Tuesday, Dec. 6th at 8 pm - Clark Gym TICKETS ARE FREE Page two.

Reiss Managing Editor New ID cards, both signature and space for date of birth will be made available to all students at this University by the beginning of next semester. The decision to go ahead with the new design and distribute cards by the mid-January was reached Wednesday by virtue of a unanimous vote by the ID Card Committee which is co-chaired by Director of Orientation Joe and Krakowiak Student Association (SA) Executive Vice President Andy Lalonde. In moving to distribute the cards to the 25,000 graduates and here, undergraduates the Committee an rejected administration proposal presented -by Assistant to the President Ron permanent containing Stein to disperse the cards only to freshmen and transfer students. Stein explained that those cards, distributed at a relatively low cost to the University, could be used as a testing ground for their utility to students. If the cards proved to be ineffective and failed to meet the students’ needs, Stein said, the University would not incur the heavy financial losses it sustained during this semester’s ID card debacle. “Having a trial period is better,” Stein said. “We made one mistake and there is a chance that we’ll make another. If another mistake is made, the students will have to wait on line three times and I think they will be intolerant.” A weak point Most committee members, however, were insistent that the Future of the Buffalonian uncertain due to problems by Elena Cacavas Spectrum Staff Writer The editorial board of this University’s yearbook. The Buffalonian currently faces problems which could halt any ongoing work; who will publish the book and who will fund its publication. Buffalonian editor, Libby Post, seeks to curtail the established contract with University Press and to make a new arrangement with Taylor Publishing Company while the Student Association (SA) prefers to retain University Press and Savage Litho. In a meeting held on December 30 at which officials of SA, Sub-Board, and the board of the Buffalonian were present, bids were presented by the two competing publishers. District Manager for Taylor, Jeff Parker, and local representative, Steve Connor, presented their company’s package deal which included 16 color pages and a color cover at an estimated price of , Representing University Press and Savage Litho was the Press Business Manager, Marie Bernard, and the Production Coordinator, Cheryl S. Pestell, whose estimate for essentially the same work was $20,000. income off-set expected The difference in the bids was related to the fact that Taylor, being the largest yearbook publisher in the world (working exclusively in yearbooks), already has the elaborate equipment needed for extra effects such as color, whereas University Press and Savage would have to set up special processes and add extra labor. Some compromised agreement between SA and the Buffalonian Board must be reached soon because the yearbook currently has no money on which to operate. Post claims that there was no budget allotment made by SA last spring because they didn’t know that a yearbook would be published this year. When it was established that a 197-8 Buffalonian would exist, it was expected that the book would be income off set which Post agreed better. At this time ads have reached S2000. Sub-Board Publications Division Director Bill Finkelstein told The Spectrum that SA, which will have to partially fund the Buffalonian, advocates using University Press to keep the operation within the realm of student monies. It was also pointed out that University Press’ location in Squire Hall was convenient, whereas Taylor’s (based in Texas with a division in Pennsylvania) involved shipping and didn’t allow the staff to “check” the production.

Sociology professor Ed Powell is a self-proclaimed radical leftist who styles his course criteria after his political beliefs, a fact well known by many students at this University which will not deter enrollment in his Sociology 101 class. The Spectrum reported last year that Powell was exercising his lungs on the philosophy of socialism in addition to voicing his opinions on national issues rather than teaching Sociology through textbooks. One year later, the course’s name has changed, but the line of study remains the ” same. Powell’s curly unkept hair and thick bushy grey-streaked beard overshadow his massive 6-3 frame. For the past years, his mode of transportation has been either his bicycle of his thumb, while his attire includes a dashiki and blue But Powell’s present appearance is not typical of the man who first began teaching at Buffalo in 1958. “When I first came here, 1 was a much more straight academic man. 1 worse a suit and tie, and I had short hair with no beard,” said Powell, who hails from Plainview, Texas. Powell arrived at this University after teaching at Tulsa University and the London School of Hconomics.

Some people have it and some people don’t. That’s what makes student and that’s what makes life.” Student involvement and participation is a prerequisite for Powell’s sociology course. Upon his arrival in Buffalo 19 years ago, he discovered that the Sociology “had a Department novel approach to education.” He was referring to his form of a non-structured lecturing, which fit into that of the department. During his classes, he implores students to sit as close to the front as possible, “Sitting everyone in a circle compels them to interact in a certain way and there’s no authoritarian classroom,” he stated. Friday nites ’til 8 pm fact that students disagree with many of his teachings, he has voiced his opinions inside the classroom without fear of retaliation. ■ Yet, how do we judge Powell’s actions? Yes, the man has abandoned . the pre-established norm of how teachers should act, but ideally, professors function as “ . disseminators of knowledge. Therefore, is Powell doing his job? “You can’t divide your life outside and inside the classroom. Politics and sociology are one and the same as far as I’m concerned,” Powell crisply states. The professor came under fire last year when, at the height of the presidential campaign, he distributed leaflets to his classes explaining the Socialist Workers Party’s candidates and platforms. He informed his students that he supported the Party, and intended to vote for their presidential candidate as well. “1 felt that Carter and Ford weren’t fit and it was time for a change,” said Powell.

Their weak point is that material values are directing their minds. This is the difference between the students of 1967 and 1977.” Powell identifies himself as a who “diswordly” person is engaged in the pursuit of truth. He has found truth to be “the aim of life where one comes to know thyself. And this you only know by interacting with others.” Powell explained that he will most probably continue to teach his “basic” Sociology 101 course in the future. “I’ll be here as long as the Rathskeller is (where he holds his office hours).

Perry (Rudy) Gehrmann ... — — ... unusual, but why npt Sub Board responds To the Editori In a letter to the Editor on Wednesday, Jon Turn the page. The first word that meets the eye accurately portrays the body of the directory. It will be hell trying to find a correct number in this phone book. It was discovered, through one of those famous random surveys, that after calling 50 on-campus numbers, only six worked. Some were disconnected, some were department numbers, some were who knows what. Six out of 50. Fortunately, the off-campus ratio, by spot checking only because one of those famous random surveys has not yet been done, has proved to be better although quite far from perfect. Last year's Student Directory used to be called useless. This year's how about pitiful. The stages through which it must pass before appearing in book form include a computer print-out being handed from Admissions and Records to Sub Board, which turns the information over to University Directories, Inc., headed by one Mark ... Teitelbaum. Teitelbaum was in The Spectrum office yesterday afternoon, claiming that he, while acknowledging and apologizing for the gross errors, has no legal responsibility and that the fault lies with Admissions and Records and Sub Board. Any good publisher knows that he must have people make sure that no mistakes are being made. Teitelbaum did not do this because he reasoned that since the computer foul-up that caused last year's misdirectory had been corrected, nothing else could go wrong. Stumble, stumble, how much trouble he has caused by getting advertisers to pay for a directory, albeit one that Is distributed free of charge, that doesn't work. The only section of this year's Student Directory that could be construed as useful is the five lined pages in the back entitled “Numbers Frequently Called." And Teitelbaum should certainly not be given the contract for next year's Directory. Czarnecki expressed exceedingly critical views of the current operations of Sub Board and of myself. I am quite willing to respond to the specific questions he raises concerning Sub Board’s recent and past actions, or any other questions anyone may have. 1 will not respond to all of Jon’s in this letter, as such a reply would be lengthy and I am most concerned at this time with making the following points. Jon’s principle contention is that Sub Board, its leadership particularly, has constructed a wasteful bureaucracy and has then proceeded to be deaf to all pleas for reform. The most personally galling aspect of this charge is that | had to learn of it for the first time in print. Although, as Jon mentions, 1 am a fellow graduate student and a Graduate Student Senator who has worked numerous times with him in the past, he has never approached me concerning the problems he finds in Sub Board. There is the further innuendo that 1 have removed myself from all student input and act to shroud Sub Board’s operations in deceit. This could not be farther from the truth. I believe that anyone else who has dealt with one would agree that I have always attempted to approach Sub Board with an open mind. I have consistently solicited opinions as to how Sub Board could be bettered, and I have always tried to act upon creditable suggestions. During my interview last spring for reappointment as a GSA representative to Sub Board, I directly told Jon and the entire GSA Executive Committee that they should come to me with any questions concerning Sub Board. None of them have. 1 do not believe Sub Board is a perfect organization; nor do I believe that I have all the answers as to how to make it one. However, as long as I am chairman of Sub Board, it will always welcome the participation of any student in helping to achieve that perfection. I urge the dissatisfied to take advantage of this and not to spend their energy on venom drenched correspondence. Mitchel Zoler, Chairman Sub Board I, Inc. Sub Board reasonable To the Editor. In response to Mr. Czamecki’s chilling letter to the editor in The Spectrum's issue of November 30, 1977, I feel a response is necessary. Aside from the fact that Mr. Czarnecki demonstrates alarming ignorance of the amount of work that goes into the day-to-day operations of a million dollar corporation with all of its complexities and, yes, bureaucratic brick walls, it is surprising to note that Mr. Czarnecki, as a former member of the Graduate Student Association Senate, is part of the bureaucracy which he so harshly criticizes. The GSA has quite a bureaucracy of its own with an overall annual budget of $103,000, the administrative portion of which amounts to a staggering $28,000, more than a quarter of their total budget. It must also be pointed out that the bureaucracy inherent in the corporate underpinnings of Sub Board 1 is not entirely self-imposed, but stems in large part from the Guidelines published by the SUNY Board of Trustees, a fascinating document which establishes strict rules for the disbursement of and accounting for student fees. Of course, Sub Board I is bound as well by state and federal laws governing the operations of not-for-profit corporations. I would be interested to know how a corporation of such size and complexity could be operated entirely by students who lack both the experience and the time it takes to devote one’s energies to such an undertaking. As it stands now, Sub Board I employes hundreds of students every the and programming manage to year implementation of activities, health-related services, publications, and the establishment of corporate policy on a yearly basis. 1 won’t bother to mention why a “skeleton crew” of ten full-time employees (some of whom are indeed students) is needed for purposes of long-range continuity, and the day-in and day-out devotion which is needed to keep Sub Board I on its feet. Take note; hundreds of students and only ten full-time employees. It sounds reasonable to me. It must also be noted that the Graduate Student Association, of which Mr. Czarnecki is a card-carrying member, employs two full-time people of its own, all on a budget of $103,000. By extension, Sub Board I, with its annual budget of $1,200,000 should be employing 23 full-time people just to keep up with GSA. Somehow, Sub Board 1 manages to get by with just ten. And Mr. Czarnecki has the audacity to question effectiveness and efficiency? I suggest he look in his own back yard before he jumps on his horse to fight the crusades. Michael T. A pa MFC Student Misconception Sub Board To the Editor. Jon Czarnecki’s letter (Monday, November 30, 1977) criticizing the decision by Sub-Board I, Inc. to not publish certain salary lines indicates his misconception of the issue and a lack of sensitivity. In all fairness, though, I feel that this is in part due to inaccurate coverage of the decision and easily misinterpreted statements made by some members of the Board of Directors. First, I’d like to clearly define the reasons for not publishing the salaries. It was done not to keep die information away from fee-paying students but in consideration of the ten full-time office staff whose salaries were to be published. I feel that it is important to recognize that these figures are only a part of the total budget; approximately two-hundred paid positions will be publicized. Two letters to the Board written by the ten concerned employees indicated their strong disfavor to have their salaries subject to misinterpretation and ridicule. One need only refer to Mr. Czarnecki’s letter to realize their concern. His garrishness is only too evident. (Pease note that Executive Director Tom Van Nortwick expressed clearly at Sub-Board’s last meeting that he did not object to his salary being published but that he was concerned about, his fellow workers. By the way, Mr. Czamecki, your “ballpark figure” of $20,000 is way out of field if m’Miiffirr-callVan Nortwick to find out the real salary.) Mr. Czarnecki, no one is trying to hide anything from anyone. The resolution explicitly states that the budget information is available to anyone on request. In our decision to not publish the ten salary lines in question, we wished only to respect the office workers’ request for their due privacy. If anyone wants the information, go down to the Sub-Board office, 110 Talbert, 636-2954. Unfortunately, a statement made by one of the Board members may have erroneously implied that students couldn’t understand the figures. It’s simply a matter of a poor choice of words rather than an indication of our reasons. Certainly students can understand salary lines but without job descriptions affixed to the job titles or observation of the work done by Sub-Board full-time personnel, simple numbers mean little. To publish a detailed budget would be voluminous and far too excessive for space in The Spectrum, the original intent. It is understandable that we students should want to know how our sixty-seven dollars is spent. But, there is a wrong way and a right way to do it. Publishing the information in a manner that would lower the morale of the workers concerned has questionable value. Once again, the information is available by simple request, and, I repeat, no one is trying to hide anything from anyone. — Page six The Spectrum Friday, . . 2 December 1977 Helen Swede. Sub-Board I Student Association Representative ’ �Ketter and Goodyear alarms To the Editor: 3. President Ketier's party on November II. We wish to charge President Ketter and his guests with ignoring the fire alarm, which was set off by his party. Not only didn't he himself leave nor request his party to evacuate the building, in defiance of safety regulations, but in fact, as students were leaving the building, Ketter’s guests were being taken up to the I Oth floor party via the off-limits elevator. We, as students of the University and residents of Goodyear Hall, demand that action be taken to refnedy this situation. In particular: 1) the problems inherent in the new fire system should be immediately tended to, and in the meantime, if possible, the new system disconnected with fire boxes being used instead of detectors; 2) proper action should be taken against all persons, not just students, who do not evacuate during a fire alarm; and 3) President Ketter should be dealt with in an appropriate manner due his position for his irresponsibility and selfishness in disregarding one of the primary rules of the dormitories. We, the undersigned residents of Goodyear Hall, wish to Iddge a complaint regarding the situation of the recently installed fire alarm system. We are particularly addressing three (3) specific points with this petition, as follows; 1. The frequency of the fire alarms. The constant setting off of the new detectors without reasonable cause shows an inadequacy of the system. If the heat of a broiler oven, or a student knocking against detector is enough to set the entire system off, then this type of system does not belong in the dormitories. 2. Arising danger to the students. Due to the frequency of false alarms, amny students are no longer leaving the building. In the event of a real fire, this could prove dangerous for the students as well as the school. For those leaving the building on these numerous occasions, unnecessary danger to their health' exists in exposure to winter cold and ice on walkways, as can be evidenced by the condition at the south rear exit during the alarm on November Ted Mazer 12.

I am writing this letter in regard to your article entitled “Medical services faulty in a pinch,” written by Richard Delaney and printed on Wednesday, 11/23/77. That article had little resemblance to the interview which was given to Mr. Delaney. First, the article was envisioned to introduce the first aid team to the University community while at the same time requesting qualified first aid personnel from Ellicott and Governors to get involved with us. Please keep this in mind as you read this. The picture at the top of the article was of two La Salle Ambulance Service ambulances. They serve the Main St. Campus and are not involved in emergency care at Amherst. In the interview with Mr. Delaney, I stated a number of reasons why the Amherst Health Service staff might be delayed in responding to a call for assistance. Among these reasons were another patient(s) being cared for, Police may be out on another call (they transport the nurse), or the nurse might be eating (out to lunch). In most cases the resulting delay is not of critical importance, but it is, in the very least, uncomfortable for the injured person. The program we are developing is going to use First Aid Technicians whom will be either Emergency Medical Technicians or American Red Cross Advanced First Aid and Emergency Care card holders. Our technicians will also be certified in Basic Life Support. These First Aid Technicians, who will be located in Governors and Eliicott, will carry papers and be dispatched by Security. This First Response Team will be functioning as an adjunctive service. In so doing we will decrease the response time and reduce Security and Health Service response to false calls thereby allowing more effective use of available peoplepower. The First Response Program is currently in the later parts of the planning stage. We need people both with and without first aid skills to make it a reality. Wayne Mitu, also of College H, is looking for funding from in and outside the University. College H is helping with organizational work.. They are not it’s current sponsor. Finally, College H, Wayne Mitu and myself have not been trying to organize this program for the past three years. Robert Smithing College H Fair approach to med school To the Editor 1 would like to comment on the senes of letters which appeared in this spage regarding women and affirmative action Many of the letter writers seemed to assume that women in medical schools are underqualified in comparison to their male colleagues. This is not true. According to data published in the Journal of Medical Hducation (1976) for the classes which entered in the fall of 1974 (the latest year for which 1 could find data), women actually had slightly higher grade point averages than men. The mean science GPA for all accepted women medical students was 3.46, while for men it was 3.44. The mean GPA for non-science courses for women was 3.52, while for men, it was 3.45. I could not find data on the MCAT scores of accepted students broken down by sex. However, for all those who took the MCAT, whether accepted or not, women did somewhat better than men on the verbal ability and general information parts of the test, while men did somewhat better than women on the science and quantative ability parts. It is apparently true that a greater percentage of women applicants are accepted. However, a study of successful and non-successful applicants to a First A id Program Coordinator Canadian medical school found that its female applicants were more highly qualified on the average, implying a process of self-selection on the part of women. One of my physician-teachers (a white male) asked me what I thought of the Bakke case and “referse discrimination.” After I told him some of the above, he stated that he felt male medical students ought to be bringing lawsuits over the admission of women and not blacks, because it is women who have had the greatest numerical effect on the chances of white men for admission to medical school. 1 think his comment reflects a tendency for white men to view any change in their opportunities as “reverse discrimination.” I’m not saying that reverse discrimination does not exist, nor that it is a simple issue with easy solutions. However, the statistics 1 have seen show no reverse discrimination in favor of women being admitted to medical school. I think they show instead a very fair approach. I hope that white men will be able to transcend the narrow view that anything which changes their past opportunities (however unfair those opportunities were) is discrimination against them.

Many students were ticketed and towed away in the beginning of the year. They had to pay for the towing which was about twenty-five dollars plus the ticket.

Tim Bukolt Jackass Barry Lillis To the Editor I am writing you concerning what I consider a pitiful situation in Buffalo. As i sit here watching the local news in New York City, it reminds me that yes, people can be informed. Before local Buffalonians get on my case about knocking them, I would like to say this is not intended to be soi However, I must say that after spending all of last year and part of this year in Buffalo, it is obvious that the, people of this area can’t be as well informed as to what is going on around them if they depend on the Fvening News as their major source of information. Is this the people’s fault? 1 doubt it; I would rather place the blame on the people responsible for the local news telecasts. I also realize that this area does not have the size or magnitude of activity of the New York Metropolitan area. However the fact still remains that local news programs fail greatly in the area of being informative (e g., special reports in areas of crime, science and technology, etc.). At times they can be outright unprofessional and insulting. The most obvious case being that jackass named Barry Lillis. This is where, if any place, I can place blame on the people of Buffalo. How can people allow that man to insult their intelligence daily at 6 and 1 1 o clock. Perhaps if you and I object to such nonsense and try to get more professional people (such as a Dr Frank Field who also does other duties including weather reports but much differently than Mr. Lillis) on the air, Buffalo would get much of the respect it needs. How can you blame out-of-towners for treating Buffalo as a joke if the people allow local TV stations to make a joke out of Buffalo. UB, the major city’s institution of education and information, could well serve the community if it were to stand up and take affirmative action and positions to improve the local broadcasts and immediately stopping this shameless insult.

Hopkins Spectrum Music Staff When in the course of auspicious events, it becomes not only to expect, but to help arouse the moment. And when that moment falls below the great expectations of passers-by, there comes a time not to merely criticize, but to analyze. As J.R.R. Tolkien often mused (in, of course, a Valar melody), allegory is too often used as a tool by frustrated demagogues to strangle the essence of ideas. The reasons for the shortcomings of the recent Rankin-Bass animated Hobbit lie deep in faults that a self-defacing medium has yet to see. necessary The animation. Now, I speak of conceptuai flow of plot as well as visual graphics. Films such as 2001, for example, are classics because the graphics bespeak of a Grand Master Plan, a vivid story for sure. A lone orator, poet, or expert otherwise, can unveil with mastery of subject and delivery a wealth of graphic splendor to bring spirits dancing in the air of collective imagination (literally, the opening Music of the Silmarillion ). With animation, however, there is a combined potential of plot and imagery that, after decades, has barely been realized. Even Disney's Fantasia, a ne plus d'exce/lence of the film world, is but a hint of what can be done with long scenarios such as Milton's Paradise Lost (even segments), or a Langston Hughes Simple story, or supreme science fiction or, of course, Tolkien. Ironically, Disney's narrow-mindedness of what 'family plots' should be about hopelessly eliminated healthy competition such as the Fleischers, who made the original Popeye, the 40's Superman, Gulliver's Travels, etc.) and crippled the once-creative quality of his own studios, whose cartoons and films endlessly repeat formulas such as the "bobby-socked kid" or "boy genius" or the boy crashes girl (or money) Love Bug. Because of these types of attitudes, Saturday morning and weeknight cartoons lost the seriousness and satire of the superhero and the old Flintstones to nonsense like the Adam West Batman and Superfriends, and Marvel comic books became sterile rhetoric (that people could "relate" to?) to kill a meditative panther's rage. Efforts like Bakshi's animated fantasy Wizards go virtually ignored, and even Star Trek and Star Wars seem to be playing second fiddle to the overflow of ripoffs which their creditors seem unable to deny. Someone some parents, some "critics", some of us saw fit to dislike the "violence" in good-evil conflicts of the superhero cartoons of the 60's. Rather than worry about the bloodlust in this society that these cartoons were, in some way, trying to illustrate they removed the blood from the media completely, leaving us with dry, educationally 'fun' subjects like Scooby Doo, Jabberjaw, and the Bionic Brady Kids. The "non-controversial, non-violent syndrome killed Morrie Turner's multi-cultural satire Wee Pals, transforming it into the "safe" Kid Power, and Wait'Til Your Father Gets Home (about an essentially good middle class white family at the confused crossroads of the 60's-70's) came and went scorned or unnoticed by the same group who wanted social change, voted Nixon, then cried 'foul'at Watergate. Strange how this same constituency always cancels efforts such as Richard Pryor while leaving Soap and perennial ivy patches like Fernwood forever alone. — — continuous quest for enlightenment and glory. Too often do we discover that the greatest enlightenment comes not always in cadenzas, but in quiet realization. Journey and Love was the gift J.R.R. Tolkien gave the world in The Hobbit and The Lord Of The Rings (among many things), and he made us proud to-be, each, a small segment of a blossoming world tapestry, together. The main fault of the animated feature rendition of The Hobbit was that it was fragmented. If one is going to tackle as extensive an epic as this for a mere 90 minutes, at least have someone writing the script who knows and can preserve/expand the flow of the work in so relatively short a time. This was not done here. Points where Tolkien's original lines collided with huge gaps caused by the screenplay could easily be seen. These gaps were often bridged together by choppy lines and weak rearrangements of the story. An example of this is the deletion of (among other things) Bilbo Baggios' theft of the ancestral dwarfjewel Arkenstone. The hobbit gave this jewel to the armies of Elves and Men to hold as ransom against the greedy dwarfking Thorin, so that negotiations of peace rather than needless war could prevail. The screenplay substitutes for this a scene in which Bilbo wisely refuses to participate in a wasteful display of power, one which would have been all the more foolish because his forces were outnumbered. A wise hobbit to form, indeed, but in the method the scene is executed (depicted), we lose the literal dash of Tolkein's multifaceted imagery . , . the color and the simple truth.

Harry N. Abrams, Inc., $29.95, 220 ppg.) filled with art from the T.V. feature. Though some faults remain, the illustrations pace the narrative extremely well, and in many cases you will encounter scenes drawn for the book that were sorely missing from the TV version (The elemental meeting with the giant Beorn, for one).

Shakespeare sulks Retired bard ponders life How does an artist evaluate own life? How does that same artist face death? These are the questions asked by playwright Edward Bond in his drama Bingo or Scenes of Money and Death This play is the latest production offered by The Center for Theatre Research at their Pfeifdr Theatre stage, 305 Lafayette Street. William Shakespeare returns to his Stratford home to retire after a successful career as a playwright and producer in London.

He quizzes himself, asking over and over "Was anything done?" v The play stars and is directed by Saul Elkin and James P. McGuire, the actors who were formerly teamed in The Center's exciting production of Hamlet seen in Delaware Park this past summer. In a preface to the text of the play, Edward Bond, author of numerous stage and screen dramas, explains the society in which his character of Shakespeare lives as "a closed society where you need money to live. You earn it, borrow it or steal it." Bond further states that no money is politically neutral.

Prodigal Sun �Days of Ancient Egypt relived in Utopian epic by Tom Switala Spectrum Music Staff Somewhere between the tragically hip and the heavy metal kids romps Todd Rundgren. It just depends when you catch him. At times he's the shaggy-haired executioner of rock V roll in possession- of the highest distortion axe ever to behead an audience. Blink twice and a synthesis, a rebirth, occurs; Rundgren transforms with Eastern intrigue, rising like a phoenix from the ashes of Egyptian myth and mysticism. Through it all, however, Rundgren reverts back to basics, never forgetting the balancing key to rock and roll, the qualities of love and fun. It is for these reasons that Rundgren's audience has grown to proportions that require the use of Memorial Auditorium. The evening has attracted thousands. It's like a city in my head. It's like the ticking of a thousand human time bombs. THe children of Nazz float with Heaven in their bodies. The images conflict. The world calls it Utopia. Whoa! What's this? wizardly productivity Rundgren's animates the audience through a film of sky-borne androids and robots that free-fall to nowhere in an ever-changing collage of colors and configurations. Utopia takes to the stage. This first set would debut the group's latest endeavor Oppsl Wrong Planet The stage is devoid of the promoted tonage of technical hardware however. Instead Todd and Co. emerge dressed in vrthte T-shirts and black jeans and sneakers and Roger Powell sits behind a minimal bass line while John Wilcox slam bangs scant drums and Todd fuzzily bends angular notes and prances and dances and karate-kicks the air and this is all beginning to seem like forget it, I'm not going to say it so let's dissolve the labels now; it's simply rock and roll, in fine form with invisible tons of energy and those shearing harmonies that only Todd and Co. could produce. It's just this whole Jeckyll and Hyde and Rundgren thing that I was talking about with Todd telling everybody that there's no way they're going to get a fix on him. It's only rock and roll with that basic Rundgren premise of love and fun smattered throughout. Much of the new material (“Trapped," "Love In Action," "Back On The Street") are songs as strong and frenzied as "Black and White" or as hard-edged as "Heavy Metal Kids" (which they also performed this evening). Songs that give the audience one alternative, rock and roll, which they accept gracefully. It is a set full of surprises, from the flexible exchange of lead vocalization between the members of Utopia to usage of a trumpet, played by Powell, in fronting a four-man ensemble of "Abandon City." ... Flips and power trips Rundgren's second set is actually the one the .crowd came for though. It is an excursion back to the days of Ra. A fire-breathing sphinx is perched behind the group while center stage, a near life-size commands attention. The pyramid members of Utopia are decked out in garb reminiscent of the days of Egyptian pharoahs. Opening with a medley , containing snatches from Utopia and "National Field," from the early A Wizard, A True Star album, Utopia eventually performs a thrity-minute version of their epic, "Singring and the Glass Guitar." An elecrtified fairy tale about four travelers who search for keys to unlock the chest containing the glass guitar, "Singring" features each member's solo combat against an element of nature to gain his key Wilcox's baptism by water, Sulton's communion of smoke and wind, Powell's confirmation by fire and Rundgren's ascension up the face of the pyramid, from which he flips back to stage, bathed in a halo of strobe lights. Upon Our Weekly Giveaway Talent was definitely there by Doug Alpern You couldn't ask for a batter jazz lineup— Billy Cobham, Alphonso Johnson, Tom Scott, and Steve Kahn each an all-star in his own right. Hence the band name, the CBS Jazz All-Stars. The fact that the show was announced only about ten days before, and the lack of good publicity almost turned this November 10th show into a flop. The Century was only one-third full as the opening act took the stage. Narada Michael Walden, ex-Mahavishnu and Jeff Beck percussionist was to be the warm-up band, but they never did quite warm up. The thirty minute set consisted of various tunes from Narada's two solo discs. The seven piece band cranked out a mish-mosh of "music," but the real fault was in the sound system. It all sounded echoed and distorted. Add to this the problem of under-rehersal that many new bands have, and it's easy to see why Narada's music failed. Michael told me backstage afterwards that this was his first real concert date with this band. The lead guitarist, an ex-Automatic Man member, was out of place, with his raunchy, note-stretching style. The female sax player (a Mahavishnu member with Narada) was probably the best in the bunch. She spewed out some fine funky on the saxophone, and sang quite powerfully. Narada seemed to have given up his flashy drumming techniques (used in Mahavishnu), and replaced them with standard beat and vocals. Even his solo wasn't impressive. I asked him afterwards what happened with Mahavishnu. "Basically, time moves on. You do your best it was time for while you're a part of something a change." One reason why the music seemed better on the albums was because of the band. On record, Narada used various distinguished artist, such as Carlos Santana, David Sancious, Jeff Beck, etc., and it added a more polished sound. I asked him what it was like, playing with these people. "Well, I was completely enthused that they would help me on my project. They're all good I wrote the composition "First friends of mine (Carlos Santana). He was kind enough Love" for him to play it. I was very, very pleased." Narada's live sound was poor, but a number of factors, already mentioned, could have been responsible. Maybe with more practice, a little more organization, and better sound, the band will be more successful. — ... - ... Prodigal Sun All Star Magic The CBS All-Star opened with three numbers from Billy Cobham's newest. Magic. It was evident from the beginning why Cobham is one of the most revered percussionists. He can use his drums as an instrument manipulate them to sound jpst how he wants. Tom Scott commanded the next song, one of his own, "Shadows." His saxophone was superb, and he (ended his "cool" sound to the band. "Bahama Mama," an Alphonso Johnson composition, spotlighted Johnson on bass. Another song, and then the band left the stage, with the exception of Cobham. He punched out a solo that captured the audience. His hands moved from timbales, to snare, to cymbals, in a flash, invisible to the naked eye. The next song, a real funky Steve Kahn piece entitled "Some Punk Funk," was dedicated to the new wave music. Kahn plucked out a really tasty guitar solo, while Johnson kept thundering a steady bass line. "Feelings Are the Hardest Words tp Say," another Johnson piece (rivaling the longest titled song) showcased an instrument dubbed the "electric stick." Looking like a lengthened guitar neck with no body, Johnson played this piano-sounding instrument with both hands picking simultaneously. The show ended with "Spindrift" and "Follow Your Heart," a duet of Tom Scott compositions, using the entire band's talents to their fullest. Scott was most impressive, switching between several saxophones, and mastering each. After a roaring standing ovation, the group came back for one more, a Tom Scott number. Scott used a wah-wah peddle in conjunction with his sax, rendering a unique sound to the instrument. The concert was very poorly planned, but the talent was definitely there. This was an extraordinary collaboration, and I'll hope an album will come from it. Narada Michael Walden was disappointing, but the CBS Jazz All-Stars lived up to their name. . smoke. The crowd is near breathlessness, but are able to commend three encores from Utopia. A cop, proceeding to bust a fan in his seat, is affectionately called an "asshole" by Todd. Shortly afterwards he reminds some prepared plainclothed policemen that there will be no "power trips" as the fans approach the stage. And then Todd closes with his final plea, offering a last reminder, "Love Is The Answer," and culminates his two-and-one-half-hour stage presence. Amen to the Runt. — Concert poorly planned Spectrum Music Staff completion, Rundgren smashes the glass guitar to the ground in a burst of flame and This week we find out who is really keeping up.

His sphere of influence is world-wide, ranging from the globe-trotting Anthony Braxton (also a key force in the AACM) to the bitingly straight satire of Rahsaan Roland Kirk (who employed Jenkins on "The Rahsaan, Rahsaan [Atlantic] Seeker" awaits) and the strong romantic virtuosity of pianist Joe Bonner (Angel Eyes [Muse]). Jenkins' versatility is but one of many examples of the untapped potential of string instruments. He demonstrates this unyielding beauty on his Solo Concert LP on India Navigation, as well as visionary orchestral abilities on the classic For Players Only (JCOA, 6 W95 Street, NYC, NY 10025).

In some cases it was and suggestive meaning it had to be covered in dark green an institution and far, far, ahead of its time. Roxy was just plastic when it hit the stores for consumption). But the beginning to thrive in this country accumulating a large collection is without a doubt superb in every offering. I listening populace, while plowing through tour after tour suppose this is due mainly to the fact that Bryan Ferry before their inevitable break-up. Before this, they boasted himself chose the tracks, especially since he had the one of the most successful strings of consistent recording copyright, and is presently recording as a solo act for ingenuity. In the beginning however, Roxy and its pathos were met with much discrepancy. Acceptance of the music was modified despite the staggering compositions which flowed from the pen of founder Bryan Ferry (himself a self-taught pianist). It took a lot of sweat to elevate the band to a greater scope of audience which in the end went down the tubes. Wasted work? Possibly, although the members now carry on solo ventures. As for the demise of the group, all coordinates point to Bryan as being the prime element which sparked friction amongst the members, mainly due to his dominance in the studio by primarily recording his material. Bryan was the first to record a solo elpee entitled These Foolish Things, which sort of hinted at his prime being himself. Outlets opened and Andy McCay concern also took the solo step, recording In Search of Eddie Riff. This was proof-positive of Andy's extremely innovative talents and dexterity, arranging and playing different facets of music ranging from Wagner's "Ride of The Valkyries" to Schubert's "An Die Musik" to Skeeter Davis' sixties hit "End of the World." Quite an array of musics done with alto and tenor saxes. But the first of the original members to vacate his place in the group was Brian Eno. Eno modified tapes, played the synthesizer, and toyed with the Roxy production. He gave the music his touch of character enveloped in electronic wizardry. By the time the group had its third album in the can, Eno's first release entered the market. Here Come The Warm Jets. This eventually projected his momentum into other offerings such as playing with the-reknown King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp, and releasing an additional three albums of his own cult. The apathy twixt Ferry and Eno is still strong. Roxy Atlantic records. This has to be the best factor about the will never know the loss they suffered or how invaluable album which makes it so good, because some rummy from (as well as musically knowledgeable) Eno really was. the janitor force didn't just pop up and start pulling tracks Guitarist Phil Manzanerra was the next member to blindly.

The one aspect of their amazing that the group recorded three more albums of production which I've grown quite fond of are the deep superb calibre. bass patterns that were obtained in the studio (ironically, As for Roxy Music Greatest Hits, well, in my opinion they were never quite able to keep a bass player in the this could have been served up as a double album set.

Thompson incidentally was an original member, a phase or character that the band was developing today he is still backing Bryan. Guitarist Manzanerra always proved his worth with musically at the time. So you see, despite Bryan's material dominance, the musical interpretations really gave the rich interpretations parallelling Andy's King Curtis band an outspoken reputation for being as tight and suave blow-outs of a fifties tinge that proved quite invaluable as these fatigues Bryan strutted on the stage with as he when they introduced their own dance craze 'The crooned to a starving audience.

The man who eventually replaced Eno was violinist and an occasional kayboardist Eddie Jobson, who really had his period of supremacy with the track "Out Of The Blue." Later Eddie did a brief stint recording a few solo singles and then went on to join Frank Zappa in his present madness. Another track which was never released in the States (done only on Viva Roxy Music (the live elpee) and became a British hit single is "Pyjama-rama." Side One closes with one more track from the most bizarre of all six albums. For Your Pleasure (which spawned such elegant eroticism like "In Every Oreamhome A Heartache," telling — — / FEMALES • FEMALES • the tele of an affluent and wealthy man's love for his inflatable dolly ...) entitled "Fine Editions Of You" cooking out in graceful Roxy style. Side Two opens with a single released in the States which garnered a bit of air play, "Love Is The Drug" opening in funky-carribean time. Probably two of the more attractive and powerful pieces on this album are borrowed from the third elpee Stranded. This album first indoctrinated me into the world of Roxy Music, and "Mother Of Pearl" with "Street Life" (which rightfully closes out the album) prove to be the best servings within this package. In "Street Life" Bryan exposes a surprising and knowledgeable bit of poetry exploring the city streets of the States that speak like the experienced eyas of some night mongrel looking for his daily bolt of action. The only track that I met with some indifference was "Song For Europe," a bit of orchestrated romenticism ("Here as I sit in this empty cafe thinking of you. I'll remember all these moments..."). Bryan sounds a bit like an unrequited Maurice Chevalier but McCay's sax blowing is tremendous. One number that I feel Bryan definitely overlooked is "Prarie Rose," perhaps one of the most powerful and overlooked Roxy numbers.

And even tube on Don Kirshner, (who still though I don't believe in the doesn't know shit about rock 'n roll). Seems the grapevine has been doing some album listening Which could also be the reason for the healthy outlook that's been goin' down so late in the year. Even Danny Fields, (notorious manager for the Stooges back in 196X) has proclaimed them the best band ever. That's some proclamation coming from the critical Fields, and a close one at that. But I don't think the rock 'n roll populace, (or so they call what they're listening to r 'n r but ya never know; half of 'em wouldn't know it if it bit 'em on their noses) of this country is ready and wi'ling to accept the that the simple aesthetics Ramones really stand for. It's so obvious that all they wanna do is have fun you'd be silly to really take rock 'n roll in the Ramones sense and have the same perspective you'd have for a group like Yes. Uh-uh, everybody in this jet age takes everything that's pressed on vinyl much too critically. Since early '67 the entire pop music field became a bit distorted till this practice led to the ineveitable wall climbing and formation of independent record labels. It was just a more obvious way of saying We want outUHNowH! All those complications haven't really phased the Ramones even when they faced a rather apathetic audience when opening for the Blue Oyster Cult somewhere on LI., Nassau I think. But that still hasn't blemished the optimism of the band and it shows with the singles they've produced. A fair share of an audience was won over during this past summer when the boys had a minor hit on their hands with "Sheena Is A Punk Rocker", Without a doubt it was that the certain something, units sold product/material structure of Billboard, it still made me feel great seein’ their single riding on the same print with assholes like Baba Streisand and whatever else they stuff down peoples throats today. So not only have the Ramones perforated the mindless robot-1 ike consumption, but they've also made it easier for bands of this calibre to brake in the States. And you'd better believe it's happening with dugs turning from disco to accomodate groups from coast to coast And even if the movement runs thin in the future at least there's the satisfaction of knowing that the music industry in this country has finally shook-up off its lazy ass and rocked in a much honest and vibrant means of energy. I don't wanna forget to mention the fact that the Ramones also reincarnated a lost tradition of picture sleeves on each and every single they've recorded (which, if it were ressurrected to a greater degree, pic sleeve creativity would boost the single market to a sharper increase). Yes I'd most definitly have to say that the Ramones are a panacea to the dullness of today's popular record industry — consumption, With Rocket to Russia the boys carry on the lighting fast action of the powerful predessesor Ramones Leave Home. No "gabba-gabba-heys" this time around but Johnny Ramone just keeps getting hotter and hotter with every bite he takes out of his axe. Starting out with the first cut, "Cretin Hop" the group wastes no' time in again establishing the restless and volatile energy which makes their live set hit you as hard as the best street crystal rush that has ever hit thy cranium: hand-clapping-tum-up-the-radiotaco tune that There's no soppin' the cretins group a stronger following.

And if only the radio stations would give it a chance, in your the kids neighborhood would be whistling it down the street whilst gracefully smashing car windows. "Sheena Is A Punk Rocker..: Re-cut with a hotter mix, Johnny really shines on this track. "Were A Happy Family": A tribute no doubt to the great syndicated sit corns dating from "Qzzie and Harriet" to "My Three Sons", Yessir the boys sure appreciate tube history. Side two starts off with; "Teenage Lobotomy": Pure crank, and one of the best tracks on the album. Dee Dee rifles his bass though this tune like the Texas Longhorns, jan through the Oklahoma Sonner defense. "Do You Wanna Dance": The classic first recorded by Bobby Freeman and later by the Beach Boys, now resurfaces in true Ramone fashion, tackled in perfect amphetamine time.

Instead of preaching and scolding, they're laughing at YOU. "Ramona": Tommy Roe may have done "Sweet Little Shiela" and "Sweet Pea", but this one belongs to the Ramones.

Not that it matters anyway; Johnny is not out to impress anyone. His narcissistic love can be seen as an ironic expression. The fascination I hold for the Sex Pistols is unlike any other I've found since discovering the devil in the New York Dolls and other wayward pastures, tripping to the original Thirteen Elevators. This is not to find comparisons between The Sex Pistols and these other mentioned groups, but only to say that all of these groups hypnotized their particular audiences with similar presentations. It revolves around the sort of devastation which leads to a special form of ambiguity such holocaustic worship. Much more.

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols is built on a foundation of basic rudiments; the bottom line, however, transcends mechanics, insinuating a hatred for establishmentary ethics. Johnny Rotten is the tyrannical conjunction which bastes this group in a fit of neo-Nazi rage.

Prodigal Sun �by Rhonda Halfman Spectrum Arts Staff First Love, is an unusual kind of love story. It is. a bittersweet movie which involves an idealistic athlete/scholar and a sophisticated young woman. The setting is a small college where sex is casual and love is hard to find. WiHiam Katt, as Elgin, portrays a sensitive young man in search of a meaningful relationship. It is love at first sight when the Caroline, angelic-looking portrayed by Susan Dey, sets eyes on him. Elgin, in turn falls hopelessly in love with her without knowing a thing about her, except that she is beautiful. As the film progresses, his dreams of ideal love are shattered, something he can not seem to come to grips with. Throughout the film, their love is generated with emotional intensity. This is especially true of the scene in which they first make love. It is filled with tenderness, sensitivity and eroticism. The beauty of it is that this is achieved without being overly explicit. Yet ■1 i- ; ■ ■ Who truly are the Heroes in this film? They are a group of veterans of the Vietnam War who have rediscovered their roots across the United States. They all have one common bond: an agreement to eventually construct a worm farm in Eureka, California. Heroes follows Henry Winkler's trek from New York to California to gather up his buddies and build their proposed enterprise. After a humorous escape from a downtown veterans' hospital in New York City with monetary investments from his friends in his ward, Winkler catches a westward bus. He bumps, literally, into Sally Field, who mentions that she is going to be married in a few days. It's a gradual process which might be hard to understand, but the two fall in love on the voyage. this story Elgin's indeed the more female role. On the other hand, the female character is seen as the heartbreaker. Caroline seems to be much more sure of herself in this love affair than Elgin is. Generally, there is a distinct style of sentimentality which echoes throughout the whole film. typically tonight at 8:30 Musicians, the stage is yours in Squire Hall's first floor cafeteria, when the UUAB Coffeehouse sponsors an Open Mike. Anyone inclined to singing, playing, or any combination thereof, is invited to do so by simply coming down and signing up (first come first served, though, so you might want to arrive early.) Free for all-pickers, singers, listeners, groupies (The Potstill Band's UUAB Coffehouse this weekend is CANCELLED. The last UUAB Coffehouse of the semester, with old-timey singer/instrumentalist John McCutcheon, will be next Friday & Saturday, December 9 & 10.) (Thera's also a regular open mike meeting tomorrow and every other Saturday night from 8 p.m. till midnight at the Shore Coffeehouse, located in the Church in the Shoreline (Sts. Paul & Mark's), 200 Niagara Street in the Shoreline Apartments: it’s downtown near City Hall it's free, there's always good musk happening, and slurpies and munchies are gratis. Who says music has to cost to be good?) — — EVENINGS FOR NEW MUSIC This is probably due to the fact that it was based on the story appropriately-titled Sentimental Education by Harold Brodkey. Unfortunately the tone of the film is monotonous because it gets more caught up in the than the emotional rather substantive elements of the story. In addition, the characters themselves are rather bland, and often come across as being very shallow. I don't know whether to blame this on the roles they were given, on the script, or on the actors themselves. Nevertheless, the characters' personalities are hardly revealed. Unable to understand the characters, the viewer is therefore unable to get involved with them. That seems to defeat the purpose of a true love story. There is one performance, though, which is worth commending. That is the one of Beverly D'Angelo, (who plays Shelly) a girl involved with Elgin's best friend and roomate, David. On the whole. First Love is relaxing and enjoyable, and allows one to simply sit back and watch. Assuredly, there is very little to think about. At the Holiday and Colvin Theaters. Love story tradition Both Winkler and Field have their stout purposes in mind and by the film's conclusion, each has arrived at the cold, hard truth of their dreams. Jack Dunn, Winkler's character, is as unstable as potassium in a vat of water. Supposedly, his Vietnam duty made him "touched" and he has been hsopitalized a few times for mental treatment. There are only a few moments when Winkler is calm and he is usually asleep during them. In true love story tradition. Field is at first put off by Winkler's behavior, but she soon becomes a part of his mad ventures. She originally takes the bus ride to have some time with herself before she carries the burden of a marriage. At a depot she is the victim of a broken vending machine which pours coffee on the floor. The matron of the place tries to force her to clean it up and Field breaks down, sobbing: "I can't clean up someone else's messl" She is surely not ready for matrimony. The couple makes stops at the homes of Winkler's wartime friends. One, Harrison Ford, races cars and has virtually forgotten his deal to begin a brooding rabbit pen. Another friend has run out on his wife and captures Winkler in disbelief. It is after these two visits that I began to wonder about the futility of building the worm farm. However, nothing will drag Winkler down and the couple finally enter Eureka to meet the last friend who will help open up the farm. The major focus of Heroes is on the clockwork in Winkler's mind. It is difficult to call the film a love story but the scars of Vietnam aren't fully explained either. It is more of a character study than a solid commentary. Winkler is jp loony, but the cause of his frenzy is somewhat vague. It might have been the shock of the gruesome battles or his assimilation into society. The logic isn't quite fully realized. A shoulder to cry on Winkler's coping with sex is brought up in a fascinating scene in a cheap southern motel room and is, perhaps, the strongest scene in the film. Winkler hesitates to take off his clothes and admits he's nervous about his lack of contact with women. Field is willing to make love but he mysteriously goes out for a walk on the verge of seduction. In this scene, there are hints of psychological impotence and the rapture of connecting with the past again. Winkler's inability to achieve intimacy can be traced to wartime male camaraderie and makes a suitable point. I particularly like the clamping down of the T.V. image of the two stars. Winkler can rave as much as is required of a deranged veteran and his charm is slight to keep in line with the emotional range of the character he plays. Sally Field, ex-Flying Nun, is not only pretty with a streak of silliness, she tries her damned best to convince us of the barely probable situations she gets into. While some women may run — scared from a maniac like Winkler, she is in need of someone's shoulder to cry on and he is the first man available. If the script by James Cabotaros was written with more substance. Heroes would have a considerable amount of impact and certainly a better vehicle for the subject matter. It has the earmarks of a potentially important film and is worthwhile to observe and discuss with a degree of intelligence. At the Como Theatres.

Page fifteen �> Modem Chicago Blues—Part 2 oy non tv ©In stock Sptetrum Musk Staff This is the second part of the survey of contemporary Chicago blues artists. It should be mentioned that I have avoided (with one exception) artists who are available only on imports or on out-of-print records. Some of these artists may have albums out in the next year or so you may want to look out for albums from Magic Slim, Eddie Clearwater, Lonnie Brooks. Jimmy Johnson and Bobby King as they have each developed individualistic and original approaches to the music, as have the artists surveyed below. here with the tame direct and explosive approach that he had live the first few times I saw him. Luthur put some of the most satisfying blues shows I ever saw though the last few times I taw him he was too psychedelic in his stage manner and playing. guitarist Sammy Lawhorn who plays a number of mean, and concise guitar solos. Mighty Joe Young is also present with some tasty licks and tenor player Abe Locke plays rocking saxophone. Koko is in great form, whether she is boastful on the title track or reflective on Magic Sam’s “That's Why I'm Crying." cutting Son Seals, Midnight Son (Alligator) Frank Seals was a drummer for Albert King at one time. Today he is driving singer-guitarist-songwritor who is Fenton Robinson, Somebody Loan Me a Dime (Alligator) The title track was originally done by Fenton, then Boz Scaggs (who claimed to write it, but we know better) and others have done it. Fenton is a marvelous modern PHT wxt&fe m tut » in the Loop (Simmons) This album is a collection of 45s that Mack Simmins put out on a variety of labels. This album was put together by Amy and Jim O'Neal of Living Blues Magazine. (Little) Mack Simmons plays harp and Lonnie Brooks (who recorded as Guitar Jr. in the fifties and sixties) are among the backing musicians. Arlean is a strong singer but there adebits here. Mack's harp playing isn't very interesting over the course of an entire album. Also the fact, that he doesn't play amplified harp on this recording reduces the bite it might have. There is a sameness in tempos and keys which is to be expected on a collection of singles. Arlean really impresses me as a singer and she comes off most credibly. If you think you want, write Living Blues at 2615 N. Wilton Ave., Chicago, III. 60614 for info on the record as well as the magazine itself. Arlean Brown, Sings the Blues singer and guitarist with a clean fluid guitar technique and relaxed hi(fi pitched vocals. Very uptown blues with good handwork and excellent Fenton. The range of material is good as on a couple of tunes Fenton evokes the spirit of early Muddy Waters recordings though still playing in a modern style. A second Alligator album should be coming out soon and reportedly is even better. much more down-home in his vocal attack than most of the others discussed here. On Ray Charles' "I Believe'' he captures a violent mode, while on "Don't Bother Me" he projects a defient rebellious mood. Like Albert King, Son injects so much personality in what he does that any limitations in his guitar technique or whatever are easily transcended. This, his second album, also incorporates funk rhythms in a very successful manner. His first album is also quite good. Mighty Jo* Young, Blues With a Touch of Soul (Dalmark) One of the most respected singers and guitarists in Chicago, Joe Young is in great demand as a studio guitarist As a singer and guitarist he shows a number of influences such as T-Bone Walker. Bobby Bland, B.6. King and alto Fenton Robinson. A nice ten minute version of Fenton's "Somebody Loan Me a Dime" is included. Most tracks here are long and have a jive, jamlike feel. Joe has other albums and tingles out and you mtyt also want to check out his album GNP Crescendo. Luthur Allison, Love Me Mama (Dalmark) r This was Luther's first album. Since then Luthur did some albums for Motown. There it a lot of B.B. King in Luthur's playing here and his singing recalls Elmore James. I like this album very much despite the relatively thin sound. The thin sound is due to Luthur being recorded with only bast and drums on some cuts. Jimmy Dawkins and a sax player are added on other sides. Luthur plays M 97ft Harvey ft Corky Koko Taylor, I Got What it Takes (Alligator) Koko it ona of a number of woman singers in Chicago and this it a superb showcase for her vibrant, gusty singing.

New bands are increasing in number, and this genre of music is expanding to the point where, many are just carbon copies of others. Most of the new music has been done before, and it's now judged by who plays “it" best. Johnny Guitar Watson, a relatively new artist on the music scene (known to most for his- big hit," A Real Mother For Ya'," off the album of the same name, is one of the most promising of this funky lot. His second album, Funk Beyond the Call of Duty, contains some real good boogie music. Watson, a native Buffalonian, plays a real fine guitar, and can adapt to different styles. He also plays keyboards, congas, and supplies the bass with a synthesizer. White Horse (Capitol) from the It has always intrigued me to listen to a new artist on the forum. By rights, they tend to do things in unique ways. They are usually of the non-conformist genre. Bands such as the Beatles improvised with old material that they transformed into a "new" sound. Conversely, bands such as Boston brought a totally new form of music to the surface in their first album. New bands are going to have to be different to make it. Groups such as the Backstreet Crawler have evolved into Crawler. The band (all except for the lead singer) is the same, yet the music is of a new style (for them), hence, they are becoming quite popular. At one time, it was in fashion to be an "on-group." Meaning, a group that would precede the feature band. Many artists took that route. Musicians can play to a larger audience if a super-group is to follow. Some do the unexpected, upstage the starring performer. Stevie Wonder always would upstage the featured band, as did the Climax Blues Band, New Riders, Network, Firefall and Thin Lizzy. In the past, Billy Joel was the "on-group" for Flarry Chapin as well as (believe it or not) Jefferson Starship. Yet it now appears as though more good bands are going solo Wet Willie, Manorisms (Epic) a undergone has Wet Willie they explain as on the metamorphosis, back of their latest album, Manorisms. Ricky Hirsch, the excellent guitarist who wrote some good music for the group as well, has been replaced by guitarists Larry Berwals and Marshall Smith. Lewis Ross on percussion is succeeded by Theophilus Lively. John Anthony, who used to play organ and rhythm guitar for W.W., has also departed. The Hall brothers. Jack and Jimmy, and Mike Duke are all that's left of the pre-1977 band. Aside from the changes in personnel, the group has also changed setting. Manorisms was recorded in the Manor, a rural English studio. Wet Willie recording in an English manor house is kinda like Larry Flynt being born again. They've changed, but not necessarily for the better. "Rainman" is an up tempo tune. Lead vocals are sung by Mike Duke, who also plays keyboards. His voice isn't bad, but it lacks the soul and personality of Jimmy Hall's. There's a good sax solo (Jimmy) but the song as a whole lacks depth. Bob Welch, French Kiss (Capitol) Seems like a dream I'd be hypnotized too, if I quit a band that thought I was as good as Peter Green, a band in which only / could come up with a hit single, above or underground. I'd be dazzled by dollars, o boy, when my old band's records were on the charts for three hundred weeks straight. So naturally I'd do what Bob Welch did, call up my old friends, with whom I never meant to split anyway, now that I come to think of it, and get them to pay, I mean play for my new record too. Wow, what a terrific plan! But then I'd be copying Bob's idea. And I hate carbonizing, you know? But he Prodigal Sun Walt Fowler, Billy Haley, and Tommy Robertson combine to form a strong horn section. The arrangements are top notch, but kept to a minimum. Johnny wrote and produced all. Guitar The disc does have its flaws. The title song, "Funk Beyond the Call of Duty," contains a good strong beat and fine guitar, but is ruined by a catastrophic chorus. "Give Me My Love" is the slowest of the bunch, and maybe it should have been left out. Watson has a hard drivin' voice, just right for today's funk, but it doesn't adapt quite as well to the softer side. This cut is salvaged, however, by some real bluesy guitar licks, courtesy of Mr. Watson. Some of the tracks begin to sound the same after awhile, but that's what funk is about, to a degree. "It's About the Dollar Bill" is probably the best cut on the record. It typifies funk at its finest, with good soulful vocals by Watson. The obligatory guitar solo is present, and it's a good one. Johnny Guitar Watson's newest is a notch above the droves of competitors. He start. Foreigner did not have to back-up many groups before making it big. The same is true for Bob Seger. Peter Frampton as a solo artist did not play the role of "special guest" too often. One "on-group" that has come into their own is White Horse. White Horse is a mellow rock group, of the Seals & Crofts nature. They are talented and display their talent on their latest album, entitled White Horse. This album is excellent. It combines the efforts of Billy Nichols, the keyboardist, with Ken Altman on bass, and Joe Lind on acoustic guitar, Jeff Porcaro on drums, and Doug Livingston on the pedal steel guitar. All these musicians added their own personal touches to introduce a new sound that is all their own. To compare White Horse to another band is purely nonsensical. They are truly unique, and all but one cut, "Over And Done With" clearly shows this. "Over And Done With" is a pop 40 type track that has those repeating choruses that artists such as Leo Sayer made famous. White Horse has almost an Eagles type style, yet that takes away from both groups. White Horse has a sound that is so neat and tight that few bands in their early stage can compare all. It's a throwback rocker, complete with tinkly piano, bouncy beat, and lots of guitar. Everyone sings except Berwald. Duke and Jimmy >Hall do the verses together. The result is a thoroughly enjoyable tune. One of the more simple songs on the album, and also one of the most effective, is Duke's "Don't Turn Me Away." Hall gets a chance to show what he can really do on vocals. It's a pleading love song, and he can plead with the best of them. Wet Willie's single cut, "Street Corner "So Blue" has a nice bass line. That's Jack Hall's doing. Duke sings again. It's not, however, the blues at all. There are now some excellent background vocals and then they almost sound like Queen until you get to the harmonica solo. That's supposed to unquestionably make it a blues song, it there was any doubt. It doesn't work. "We Got Lovin' has no lead vocal at — - " does it, so maybe it's OK, I can get Chris McVie to mix her vocals on "Sentimental Lady" waaaaaaay up, like I wouldn't let her on Bare Trees. That song was really good, and now I can seventies-ize it (a commonly process referred to as androidization) with groovy Martin D-45 strums, and try making my voice melodic. Of course I know that isn’t my best charm, that my highbrow half-spoken mysteria is better than any harmony vocal, but Mystery to Me wouldn't have given me any gold discs to show the aunties when they came to tea, either. And you know what else I could do just like Bob (he really came up with tons of solid ideas, y'know)? I could use Stevie —Doug A!pern with Some bands are better off being "on-groups" rather than featured performers. Foreigner is a great band, yet with the number of songs that they do, one is lucky to see a forty-five minute concert. A solo group that has a large amount of music might not want an "on-group." The Grateful Dead can play two separate three and one half hour concerts only repeating four songs (as they did on their last tour). Not many bands can do that! In fact, most can't. So "on-bands" help to make the evening more enjoyable. I would much rather see an "on-group" with a specific performer, than just that performer alone. could hit it big soon, but he'll have to clear up a few weak spots. His vocals are good, but Guitar is his middle name. Serenade," is more reminiscent of their previous work. The Southern feel is there, and it's improved upon, with a New Orleans or South Seas effect on percussion. They sound like street harmony, instead of the sophistication of a group such as Queen. Their great vocal strength is well-displayed against instrumentation that is almost purely rhythmic. "One Track Mine" sounds like "Theme from Shaft" with some harmonica and R2-D2-sounding synthesizer work thrown in. The song contains some classic lines, things like "I don't wanna wait forever to Billy Nicholls writes most of the music and adds vocals only to his own songs. His voice is mellow enough to make a flower wilt, but never gets boring. On the opposite end is the harsh Ken Altman. His voice can have one believing that their turntable has seen better days. But no harm done, his voice is always fluctuating. One might think at first that he can't sing, yet after listening to him many times, it becomes quite apparent that he can (though purposely off key). Joe Lind is the one that gets due credit (or no credit) for writing "Over And Done With," and singing the lead for it. The best tracks are "Doesn't Take Much," "Can't Stop Loving You (Though I Try)," and "Everloving Arms." These are country rock cuts that are so well done that they must be heard to be believed. The album is of the progressive type, so don't expect to hear it on Rock 102, or Q-FM. One must listen to a progressive Album Oriented Radio station (AOR), such as BUF to enjoy the sound of White Horse. One major cause for confusion is represented on the aim sleeve. It features a white cow, not horse. Fortunately, they're musicians and not cover designers. —B. Steven Kortkin get my hands on your caboose," «tc. It one of "Dixie Rock," and it's good.

It's amusing, and it breaks things up. But it sure doesn't come from W.W.'s southern reminds — — roots. "Let It Shine" is a ballad that ends the album on a slightly spiritual note, complete with strings, good harmonies, and such. It's the LP's token "meaningful tune." Altogether, Manorisms is a pretty decent album. It never gets boring the tunes are catchy. Vet, it lacks the feel, the depth, the soul of some of their earlier things like Jailhouse Moan and work Mama Didn't Raise No Fools.

Heroes is crawling with the guitar and synthesizer overkill of Robert Fripp and Brian Eno. ZZZZZZIIIIIP! SKRAWLI That ain't half bad, the only problem occurs when you wake up and find that this album is so devoid of David Bowie, you wouldn't even know it was his album if he didn't eventually grace us with his eloquent voice. So we get a whole five minutes worth. And when he does open his snurdy little cavity, it ain't no treat neither. You know what a song called "V-2 Schnieder" is? Cosmic exploitation. Sounds like Iggy Pop drunk on wine or something and in this case that ain't a compliment. I'm not even gonna mention David Bowie as producer and what he did to a talented artist like Jimmy Osternberg (Iggy). Less violent: if this is a David Bowie LP, then I'm witnessing Bowie surrender his pop license to become an astronaut again; only diffemce is that this time he ain't singing about it -D.P. , Richie Havens, Mirage (A&M) Remember Woodstock, where an intense-looking dude named Richie Havens flailed at his guitar and wailed soulfully of "Freedom" and how he was such a "Motherless Child"? That was the Havens of "69, peaceful summer of love Carrying him on the crest of its wave. This must have been the case, for in the years since Havens has done little to distinguish himself from the host of other soul-funk singers who shout out "boogie" and "get down" to well-executed but unintriguing disco chords. Maybe I ask too much of a musician, that he grow with the times and create a style of his own rather than adapt his talents to a genre plagued by the likes of "Dazz" amd Andrea True (porno star-cum-musical love object). Havens still has that raspy growl that appeals to the ass-kickin rowdy in us all, but his creativity has become stagnant in the slimy pool of commercialism. There's a decent ballad or two on here, but if you'd rather not be disillusioned keep listening to Woodstock if you like Richie Havens. Those were his prime years, for the 70's surely aren't. -D.fi. America, Live (Warner Brae.) This summer, Gerry Bedde.y and Dewey Bunnell, aka America, recorded a live album with four excellent musicians. The result is a sort of "greatest hits" package, understandable in a successful concert (not to mention selling a lot of records). The songs are cleancut and well done, about 95% true to the original album versions. Vocals are quite good very few cracked voices and missed notes by either Beckley or Bunnell, each of whom sing lead on about 50% of the songs included here. Beckley's nasally tone can get to be a bit much on quiet, vocally oriented tunes like "Daisy Jane", though- Backround vocals are tasty, and the band as a whole is very tight musically. It's a good-sounding album, and youll tike it if you like America. However, the fact that it is recorded live only makes it a bit different, neither better nor worse than anything else they've done. —P.C. — {SUMMER COURSES- given in English. Joe Farrel.

Prodigal Sun �Commentary How can you dislike music sound unheard by Barbara Komamky RECORDS Chuck Mangione, Feels So Good (Mercury) This album is at feast professional. Chuck Mangione knows how to write and arrange music that will hit the ear as sweet, finished and easily palatable. The musicians with him on this record are all good and tight, too. But the music seems much in the same vein as somehow a product previous Mangione albums (lacking is the earthy saxaphone of Gerry Neiwood). There is an almost i.e., Mangione's naive happiness about this record poetry on the inner sleeve; — Music-Editor The time has come for a little, editorializing. I would like to present you my rationale for doing this job. If you have an open mind, this will be quite easy for you to digest. If not, I suggest you close your eyes and bury your head in the sand. And this is the reason. We, as listeners, are coming precipitously close to giving up our own rights and depriving dissidents of their right to learn. We are becoming much too cold to allow the molten emotions generated by really new music to melt in our veins. And I'm not talking about a new album by an old band. That is the status quo. Because old bands will sell new records simply by nature of their past endeavors. Old bands don't need to make it. The Eagles, the Stones, the Grateful Dead, Fleetwood Mac at this time, they really don't require more than your marginal attention. This is not to say they're good, bad, or indifferent (although many lethargic giants fall into the last category). I'm also not preaching abstinence as a preventative for potential overdose (although if Rumours were heroin, a lot of us would be six feet under by now). Think about the 60s if people had never listened to Elvis, to the Beatles, to Dylan . . . ... Feels so good when I'm with you can't believe you love me too With you it feels like it should feel Feels so good, let's make a deal I’ll trade my baseball cards for you Now / believe that dreams come true / are we to believe that it always feels this good? One dimensional would best describe the music on this a record. Though that dimension is well handled certain ecstacy which Mangione seems to get out of living and playing music is obvious there is some raw emotion lacking here. Mangione has fallen back on overworked themes and played out phrases. Though some have made it this far with him into "The Land of Make Believe," for many I think this will prove to be about as far as they go. Mangione is an excellent musician who has fallen into a groove, the security of which is just may be difficult for him to abandon. If you want some pleasant, pretty, easy listening with a Spanish flair, this is a good choice. On the whole though, the album is lacking bottom. It is as "cute" and unique as Farrah Fawcett Majors, or C.B. radios. If you dig Chuck, go for his older stuff, circa his work with Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, back there in the land of reality. — — —Harry Weinberg Yes, we were all 13% once. I can relate. But Chuck, — - Wretched excess When the Ramones cost two hundred dollars to book (and please consider that all three bands at Watkins Glen received in excess of one hundred thousand dollars apiece ) and a promoter tells me !'d have to pay him to get them, that sucks. When I tell someone that Terence Boylan made a great debut record, and he tells me he already likes Jackson Browne, that sucks. If Toots Hibbert makes a record, but you won't listen to any reggae except "The Harder They Come," that sucks, too. I seem to be going off on a slight tangent. What I really intended to stress was not the need to’grant audience to Talking Heads. I've already talked myself colors trying to explain the difference between Johnny Rotten and David Byrne. Why I really wrote this whole number was to say this: Do not negate the new music by its unestablished nature. Rock and roll has always been (with the exception of some current trends) anti-convention. It should remain so. Mr. Management in the accounting department at Warner Brothers is not the one to say what you should like. And neither am I, for that matter. You are. And conversely, if you try denying me my right to like the new and eccentric right along with the patnachs, then you're a narrow asshole. Critical fans All this may seem a little hypocritical coming from a "rock let's understand each other. Talking people out of their persuasions is far from my intent. And now I’ll tell you something you may never have considered. All critics are fans. Fanatics would probably be a better word. If we could all inject vinyl, you could revive the Penn Central on my tracks alone. Now you say, "Well, if she's such an addict, we couldn't talk her out of anything anyway." And that's absolutely right. But any non-authority (if there is such a thing as an writer.** But authority to begin with) who, in a simultaneously insinuating and incriminating voice, says, "How could you like Joe Shmoe and his Singing Toe?" is guilty of stifling an important blossoming awareness, a diversified interest. Really, as if liking Joe Shmoe as much as Mick Jagger were the first deadly sin. Isn't variety supposed to be what makes the world go 'round? Why would you want to make a self-defeating statement like the one above? The Herbie Mann/San Most Quintet, The Man With The Most (Bethlehem) Too bad this isn't the "newest" Herbie Mann album. The Mann With the Most might be Herbie's latest release, but it was recorded in 1955. After "Hijack" I lost my respect for the flutist, but if he ever reproduces any of the '55 material all will be forgiven. ,11 is not often that one comes across a quintet such as this. It consists of guitar, bass, drums and two flutes. Herbie Mann might be the more popular of the two, but, in musical circles, Sam Most is the original innovator. It was Most who first established the flute as a true jazz instrument. Before him some were used In big bands or special arrangements, but during the early forties Sam Most entered jazz chronicles as its first full-fledged flute improviser. Bud Shank, Frank Wess and Herbie Mann followed. Today artists such as Jeremy Steig and Hubert Laws specialize on the flute along with the countless saxaphonists who grace the instrument. — we d all be how it started out, and I think and Donald sad to see its haven disappear.

Very tough schedule for women hoopsters Women’s basketball coach Liz Cousins has a superb collection of talent to work with this year, which is fortunate, because she also has a very difficult schedule to contend with. According to Cousins, most of the members of that team are skilled enough to be starters and thus Buffalo’s strong point this year will be depth. “I expect to {day everyone,” she said. “And I expect everyone to contribute.” The Royales will also be exceptionally fast team and Cousins intends to take advantage of that strength. “We are going to be running the ball on offense and pressing defense,” on she explained. And with that kind of strategy, UB’s depth will really come in handy. “That kind of combination lends itself to team effort,” commented Cousins. Buffalo is going to need all that talent, because they have to face one of the toughest schedules in their history. “We don’t have one easy game on our schedule; every team is a contender for the state title,” said Cousins. The coach explained women’s basketball in Western New York has never been as outstanding as it is this year and that die considers Niagara, Canisius, Buffalo State and St. John Fisher all schools all to on die Buffalo schedule be powerhouses. “We’re not going to be able to take it easy for any game," she stated. Hills, Two open spots So far, Cousins has decided on three starters, but the other two positions are still up for grabs.

The Roysdes open their season tomorrow night against Oswego at Clark Hall at 6 p.m. Judo team Season record even after Monday victory The UB Judo team evened up its season record at 1-1, on Monday, with a decisive 16*6-3% victory over Buffalo State. During die 20 matches, both teams displayed a lot of beautiful throws, an unusual occurence in this era of modem defensive judo. Three of the seven Buffalo judoists (Steve Bauer, Alvin Frega and Linda Greco) won all of their best throw of the day against Bob Eisenberger. The throw was a right sided ippon seoi-nage (one arm shoulder throw), in which Do threw his opponent in a high arc, then followed him direcdy to the mat for an ippon (a full point), thus ending the match.

Sophomore Gabi Gray and junior Pam Lerminaux are vying for the second forward spot. Gray is an excellent position ballplayer and rebounder, while Lerminaux is the best outside shooter and foul shooter on the squad. The two candidates for center are freshmen Janet Lilley and Pat McPherson. Both 5’11” Lilley and 5’10” McPherson are talented, but need experience. Marybeth MacLean and Beth Krantz are two rookie guards who will “contribute a lot to pressing defense and running the ball Frazier, proudly presents The brilliant sax of a senior, has not yet reached her full potential as a basketball player. “She’s capable of so much,” said Cousins. “This year will really be a test for her.” Schum, who transferred from Genesee Community College this year, plays aggressive defense and excels in outside shooting and passing.

No. 38 State University of New York at Buffalo Wednesday, 30 November 1977 Student bus service for the Thanksgiving vacation suffered from a lapse of communication between the Inter-Residence Council Business (IRCB) and the Blue Bird Bus Company causing a three-to-four-hour delay in the trip to the New York City metropolitan area. IRCB had requested four busses; one to go directly to Nassua, one to Queens, one to Westchester-Queens-Nassua, and one to Queens-Nassua. Due to a lack of communication, all four busses stopped at all three locations on the trip from Buffalo to New York. As a result of the confusion, the trip leaving Buffalo at 3:30 p.m. last Thursday afternoon, arrived in New York at approximately 3:30 a.m. Vice President of Blue Bird Ed Bothwell said the problem arose when students did not board the bus that was going to their specific destination. Wrong busses According to Blue Bird President Magnano, “The extra stops were caused by students being on the wrong busses.” He claimed that no one from IRCB was there to check and make sure that students were on the correct busses. He added, “It is not the responsibility of the bus company to ensure that students are on the correct busses. We did not sell the tickets, we do not know how much they charged, we do not know who is on what bus, we just know where each bus is supposed to go.” Travel Service Manager for IRCB, Ray Dannenhoffer, claimed that each student’s ticket was numbers as to what bus should be boarded and that the mistake was Blue Bird’s. He continued, “I had two of my employees checking tickets with a list. Besides, why would anybody get on a bus where they didn’t belong?” He added that the likelihood of students getting on the wrong bus was very slim because the busses were full and only one bus was scheduled to go to Westchester. One student explained that IRCB was checking tickets, but some students had receipts, not tickets. “Therefore, they didn't know which bus to get on,” he claimed. He stated that students were definitely on the wrong busses. Lost while asleep Another problem that caused a delay was that the lead bus got lost enroute between Westchester and Queens. Bothwell claimed that all drivers bad routings before the trip, and that all four got lost when a students advised the lead driver to take a quicker route. The student claimed that he was asleep for the first twenty minutes after leaving Westchester and that his advice came after the convoy was already lost. He said, “We were already on the New England Thru way, where 1 knew hew to get hack; when 1 told hinHiow to 40,” . Bothwell admitted that the New England Thruway was not originally on the scheduled route. Dannenhoffer questioned how the busses could get lost after Westchester when one driver had specific instructions on how to teach Queens. Bothwell said, “The busses did not get lost going to points where they were originally scheduled. “Perhaps our only mistake was not telling them (IRCB) where problems could arise,” Bothwell added. “What the hell, no accidents occurred, everyone got there and back and no busses broke down,” he commented. IRCB’s Dannenhoffer stated, “The problems weren’t our problems, they were Blue Bird’s. I’m sorry, it wasn’t our fault. All you can do is bitch.” He observed that most students on the busses coming back “were pissed, but they understood.” Trying our best Dannenhoffer noted tjjat last year, Trail ways supplied the busses, but this year “they didn’t have enough equipment available for us.” He stated that Greyhound services cost $63 while Blue Bird only charged $33 per student. “We are trying to do the best we can,” he added. On the return trip to Buffalo on Sunday, busses were delayed due to inclement weather. The New York State Thruway Authority termed traffic conditions as slippery, wet, and icy in spots. Students complained that, “especially on the way down, the drivers were going too slow.” Bothwell said, “All the drivers had specific instructions and the equipment was in excellent condition.” He added, “I haven’t heard many complaints and I don’t know anything about inadequate drivers. If there is a reason for discipline, it will be taken.” Dannenhoffer added that IRCB would examine the comparative prices of other companies before deciding on what company to use for the Christmas vacation trip. —Jenson New $17 health fee target of SASU statewide boycott by Mark Meltzer Staff Writer Spectrum An open forum aimed at drumming up support for a state-wide boycott of the recently imposed $ 17 health fee was sparsely attended Monday, November 21 in Haas Lounge. The fee has come under fire from the Student Association of the State University (SASU) since its announcement in September. SASU has labeled the fee a “disguised” tuition hike that will not be channeled to health services at all, but to general SUNY revenues to offset a cutback in state funding of the University system. According to Buffalo SASU representative Allen Clifford, the Director of Health Services at this University, M. Luther Musselman, has admitted that money from the Health Fee will be placed in the general fund of unallocated monies and will not he used to improve health services. SASU representative Steve Allinger said that the fee will be used to offset a J2.3 million budget cut. Because it is a “fee” and not a tuition increase it cannot be paid for by Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) or Regents Scholarship awards. “Nothing is improving,” said Clifford. “Our health services, if any, have decreased.” Nickels and dimes Allinger warned that this could be the first in a long line of “sneaked in fees that make it that much harder to make it through the school year.” He said the possibility of the University charging a construction or a utility fee is very real. “This opens up a Pandora’s box,” Allinger stated, adding that the fee must be fought to prevent Albany from “nickle and diming students to death.” But students don’t seem too upset by the fee, as evidenced by the small turnout at the forum. “I’d rather have them do that than have something lost because of it,” explained one student. “I can afford it, but for someone who has most of their tuition paid by TAP or Regents Scholarship, 1 can see the hassle.” In an effort to eliminate the health fee, which is already scheduled to be doubled next year, SASU is organizing a boycott of the fee throughout the SUNY system. Five schools, Geneseo, Brockport, New Paltz, Oswego and SUNY at Buffalo will attempt a boycott. AJlinger claimed a successful boycott would massively disrupt the computer system that processes bills. "All of a sudden they’d have to process the forms fay hand,” he said. “They’d probably be forced to negotiate with students.” Some schools, including Oneonta, Binghamton and Potsdam are hesitant to participate in a boycott, fearing possible consequences. “We will not ask students (notably seniors) to jeopardize their status,” Allinger said. Each student would probably just get a $17 bill in the mail anyway, he added. Letters to Carey One possible safety valve for students, according to Allinger, would be for SASU to collect the $17 from the students and hold it in an escrow account, so that it could be paid if necessary. This would give SASU some bargaining leverage. “What good is a fee if you can’t collect it,” Allinger said. “I think they’ll be highly embarrassed.” For a boycott to succeed, Allinger said, the parents of the students, whb often pay the b ll, must be informed of the boycott and convinced that it is ; important. SASU will be distributing a bulletin in January with information on the boycott. Meanwhile, SASU will be fighting the legality of the fee, which Allinger claims is contradictory to the Uniform Fees Act of 1963. The schools that are not participating in the boycott will be conducting a letter writing campaign aimed at Governor Hugh Carey. SASU delegates will also be lobbying at the State Legislature in Albany. Allinger felt confident that the students would win the battle. “The way to fight a grievance is to stick it out and clean it up,” he said. Work Study Program Unequal pay for equal work: controversy brews by Jim Safee not lost yet. It has been appealed and we don’t have to compensate anyone as long as we have an The Assistant Director of Work appeal going.” The Work Study Program is Study Placeiqent, Wes Carter, has been accused of ignoring a federally funded and therefore Professional Staff Grievance subject to federal guidelines. The Committee’s recommendation Committee cited an item of that Work Study students who Section 503 of the regulation received lower pay for equal work governing wage rates, saying the be compensated for the disparate program here violates those wage rates. Carter refuted these guidelines by paying law students, allegations, saying, “The case is for example, higher wage rates Spectrum Staff Writer than undergraduates for the same work study job. High wages favored Section 503, governing the wage rate, uses two criteria: the wage rate depends on the particular set of skills, and the rate at which a person with those skills and abilities does a particular job. The Committee was formed last Spring in response to that Work Study students, laboring side-by-side, were being hired at varying rates, Law student Angel Gott charged that Carter has disregarded the Committee’s report, which found the program in violation of federal regulations and recommended that those students who had been inequitably treated were entitled to redress in an amount equal to the diffence between the wage rate and that of the highest complaints assigned the same assignment.” Simply put, the three-person Committee was in favor of paying workers the highest wage rate now paid for a particular job. rate No compensation required “The Grievance Committee’s recommendations have been completely ignored,” Gott claimed. “No students who were —continued on page 2- �Cithern vs. Town Board Cheektowaga group fighting alleged hiring discrimination Editor’s note: this is the first in a series of articles dealing with the efforts of a group of individuals to change alleged discrimnatory practices in Cheektowaga, an eastern suburb ofBuffalo. and Affirmative Action Officer Kenneth Kopacz had met twice with the SCAAC previously and had a third meeting cancelled.

We are awaiting the appelate decision.” “The Committee, the way 1 read the decision, said basically three things,” explained Gott. “First, that the Work Study Program was mishandled. Second, that students had been mistreated mistreated third, that and be compensated should students by having their wage raised,” added Gott. Unequal amounts paid Shortly after the Committee made its recommendation, Carter cut all of the on-campus work study wages to $2.30 per hour. “The way I saw it, we were dealing with an unequal wage Carter, system,” explained “although I don’t known of any work force in a free society where all workers are paid the same amount.” The original complaint was brought to the attention of the Committee by Gott, on behalf of a student on work-study, Lawrence Ribier. Ribler was getting paid $2.30 for doing the same job that other students were being paid $2.65 for doing. After trying through several channels to right the situation, Gott and Ribler brought their complaint to the Grievance Committee. Bias? It’s not in the best interests of the supervisors of the agencies and institutions to have the students working at a higher pay rate simply because they bum off their grants faster,” Carter explained. “Therefore the student’s reluctant to supervisors are recommend students for a raise,” he added. Under the wage scale in effect last year, Carter granted raises as he saw fit. Now, under his new guidelines, it is up to the supervisor student’s to recommend a raise which Carter can veto or approve. Gott said that she still hasn’t been able to have her pay raised back to $2.65, her rate last year, even though all of her supervisors have recommended a raise. She believes that the reason she did not receive a raise is because of her role in bringing the original complaint to the Grievance Committee. “Carter refuses to okay a raise that my superiors have recommended,” Gott stated. “I feel that the program has been mishandled and that students, namely Larry and I, have been mistreated,” she added. In response to Gott’s statements Carter said, “I can’t identify with the words ‘mishandled’ and ‘mistreated.’ I’m here to help students, not hurt them. That’s simply the way I run my office.” —ORIENTAL FOODS & GIFTS3331 Bailey Ave. 834-7584 — BEST PRICES ON ALL NEW STOCK A wide variety of Chinese, Japanese, Philippine and other Oriental Foods This Week Special Best Holiday Idea Wok Set 8 Pcs. 12" set only $15.99 — Hand Painted Chinese Rice Bowl made in mainland China only $1.99 Hat Food from Tai Wan Restaurant will be delivered to campus on Weekend.

The cases involving these funds have been labelled “delinquent.” Less than .6 of one percent of that year’s loans have been relegated to the “bankrupt” files, according to records from the Student Loan Service Center These figures ones available. However, the delinquent and bankrupt files' have increased in (SLSC) in Albany. are the most recent the past three years, said James Long, Director of SLSC. Government loans are given out to students most in need of financial assistance, students who generally themselves in find similar financial situation after the first payments are due. Therefore, all government loan programs encourage former students who having are trouble repaying educational loans to apply to their for them to pay. ‘Beer and pot’ Delinquency is a matter which occurs more frequently and is a much more difficult matter with which to deal. Student loans are unsecured; that is, when applying for them, students needn’t put up any collateral. In most cases this loan is the student’s first and hence the lender depends entirely on the student’s word and promise of repayment. Signature official affidavit stating that the loan will in fact be used for education, is mandatory. “But,” as Long said regretfully, “It’s only a piece of paper.” Student borrowers generally fall into three categories. First are on an those who never intend to pay or declare bankruptcy and who pay no attention to the collection agencies hired by their respective lenders. Secondly, there are those who intend to pay and are using the loan strictly fot tuition. Lastly are those who intend to pay, but are using the phrase “intended use and education” loosely include rent and food as part of their education. “It’s my pot and beer fund,” said one such senior at this University. for Student default Unrepaid SUNY loans result in automatic checkstops preventing The Spectrum is published Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the academic year and on Friday only during the summer, by The Spectrum Student Periodical, Inc.

Page three �Bill would provide for TAP coverage of fee Legislation that (SASU News Service/Albany Student Press) would provide TAP coverage of $35 SUNY university fee has a better chance of moving during the 1978-79 session of the State Legislature, according to an Assembly spokesperson. The mandatory fee was instituted in the early 1960’s to cover construction costs of student union buildings on SUNY campuses. According to a State University spokesperson, there was concern within the SUNY sector that the college fee was actually serving the same funding purpose as a tuition charge, but was not being covered by TAP because of its status as a fee. The proposal, which would raise the TAP award ceiling for SUNY students from $750 to $775 for freshmen and sophomores and from $900 to $925 for juniors and seniors, was sponsored by the State Senate and Assembly last session. Neither bill was moved out of committee. Deputy Chancellor for Governmental Relations Herbert Gordon said, “The New York State Dormitory Authority floated bonds to cover the cost of the student union facilities. The college fee is a revenue mechanism that will allow the finance agency to meet its contract obligations with its bondholders. “Such funding preceded Governor Nelson Rockefeller’s program of captial construction payment through long-term financing which now uses tuition as its source of revenue,” said Gordon. The Assembly spokesperson said, “Last year there was concern about the cost of such a program expansion $1.5 million for the first year. This year is more likely to be a year of opportunity for TAP, because of the improved fiscal environment and because it is an election year. The State Legislature can take a more comprehensive point of view on TAP proposals.” Governor Hugh Carey may include the proposal in his budget message to be delivered to the State Legislature in January, according to the Assistant Secretary to the Governor on Education and the Arts Henrik Dullea. “The proposal is an item the Governor is aware of,” said Dullea. Governor Carey recently announced his support of a $300 increase in the TAP ceding that would affect students attending the state’s private sector proposal at over $70 million over a period of four years. SASU Legislative Director David Coyne said, “The SUNY students who qualify for the maximum award would benefit from the college fee proposd, since the $25 fee would be incorporated into the tuition scale. CUNY’s college fee was included in the City University’s tuition charge when tuition was imposed in 1976, so those entitled to the ceiling award are already receiving TAP aid.” Vice Chairman of the SUNY Board of Trustees James Warren said, the “If TAP program is enriched this year, we hope that the public university students will not be ignored or hurt. Costs are escalating for the public college student as well as the private sector student.” - — the Wednesday, November 23, edition of The Spectrum, this photo of an ambulance appeared with a story about emergency medical service on the Amherst Campus.

(IRCB), which runs the Ellicottessen, the Grub in Governors and the Underground in Goodyear and is the largest distributor of canned beverages on campus, balked at a proposal by NVPIRG to exclusively sell returnable bottles at those three facilities. IRCB officials then cited lack of space and an apparent lack of student interest in banning non-retumables as reasons for not taking the initiative in implementing such a praiseworthy system. Indeed, it is projects such as these that illustrate why NYPIRG is definitely one of the most important organizations on this campus. The public interest group is currently in the process of once again petitioning IRCB to ban non-retumables and once again, that largest distributor of cans and bottles on campus is refusing, still citing lack of space at any one of its three facilities as the reason. That space must be found, or made by IRCB officials. They must find, within themselves, enough imagination to revamp their retail outlets within their present confines. This process specifically entails a shift in stock priorities and space, a slight change in accounting procedures and the creation of a new department for one of the memory banks (one of the keys) of the cash register, the telephoning of distributors to arrange quicker or more efficient deliveries so as to prevent bottles from accumulating and creating additional space problems and possible health hazards, and, most importantly, the explanation to student customers that for a few weeks, mixups and shortages in cold beverages could occur because a new, progressive system of returnables-only is being instituted, which will decrease beverage-related litter, generally help clean up the environment, and if used properly as an example, by a group such as NYPIRG, lead to legislation making returnables-only a state law. Food Service, very rarely commended in this column, must be praised in this instance because last year, at NYPIRG's insistence, it implemented a returnable-only policy on an experimental basis in the Rathskellar, which, when proved successful, was expanded to all Food Service retail operations including the Student Club, the Norton Spine area. Governors and Porter Quad. Assistant Director of Food Service Donald Bozek has commented that inconveniences with bookkeeping and space allocation did exist for a couple of weeks, but that a special committee ironed out all the problems and now the retumables-only policy is a very successful operation with “no complaints at all" from anyone. If Food Service can do it then so can I RGB. albeit its heavier volume of beverage sales. Legislation to ban non-returnables statewide is not idle talk. Laws requiring mandatory deposit on all beverage containers have been passed in Michigan, Oregon, South Dakota and Vermont, in spite of many protests of lack of space by retailers. So, pressure is hereby put on I RGB to make whatever changes are necessary in its operations to make welcome room for returnables-only while continuing to satisfy its My heart bleeds To the Editor I read with disgust managing editor Jay Rosen’s article calling the death penalty “absurd” (The Sftectrum , Move 23). His arguments are totally irrational, and the entire article smells of the bleeding heart liberalism which has choked the quality of The Spectrum for as long as 1 can remem ber. I for one, Mr Rosen, am sick of America’s so called system of “justice” which coddles our criminals and sends our convicted murderers and robbers back into the streets. Because of intense pressure from liberals like you who constantly blame society for the criminals’ wrongdoings, it is less safe to walk the streets now than it ever was before. In the Town of Cheektowaga, two police officers, Robert A Burgess, and David J. Tolsma, were murdered in cold blood while on duty: officer Burgess on July 1 in a drugstore, and officer Tolsma, on October 20 in a motel lobby. The Spectrum hardly even mentioned these two shocking events in their publication. Yet if history had been different, if officer Burgess had managed to subdue the suspect and haul him in, then The Spectrum would be screaming “police brutality!” in their editorials and their headlines. Yes, Mr. Rosen, you liberals know all the answers. So let’s hear it from all you bleeding hearts! What do we do with suspect Harold Pointer from the Burgess murder and Dwight Battles, suspect in the Tolsma killing? Why of course! Let’s send them for 30 days of psychiatric treatment, then release them, so they’ll be eligible for all sorts of giveaway welfare programs which give them free apartments, food stamps, a nice job, and a free college education. Then they’ll be reformed, and they’ll be productive members of society, right? Poppycock ! Although liberals aren’t willing to admit it, it just never works out that way. “People” like Pointer and Battles will just rob and murder again and again.

The Nestles Crunch bar you munch on is related the problems of hunger and malnutrition in developing countries. The purchase of that Crunch bar, or of a jar of Nescafe coffee, contributes to the enormous profits of the second largest food corporation in the world, a corporation whose sales practices have lead to protein-deficiency diseases and death for thousands of Third World infants. When you buy Souptime or Nesltes Quik or anything with Libby’s on the label, you’re helping the Nestle company maintain its annual turnover of five billion dollars, more than the gross national product of many underdeveloped nations. How do Nestles profits directly relate to malnutrition and death? The Swiss multinational company produces baby food and posdered infant milk formula. Nestle has vigorously promoted these to products (Lactogen, Nan) to hospitals and clinics in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Nestle claims that their artificial milk formulas are nutritious and beneficial and are a healthy substitute for, or supplement to, human breast milk. And they are. When properly prepared, formula milk provides the protein, vitamins and minerals a baby needs to maintain health. When a mother has access to clean water, fuel to sterilize utensils, and enough money to buy the proper quantity, infant milk formula will provide adequate nutrition for the first year of life. These conditions often do not exist in poor communities, however. Because of Western pressures to bottle-feed, because of mass-media advertising which establishes that “modern is best,” many women who do not have clean water or enough money succumb to the plea in Nestle’s radio jingles: “Give your baby Lactogen; Lactogen will make him grow . . .” Billboards picturing a smiling baby and a milk project a powerful can of powdered psychological image; bottle feeding is on the increase because it is a Western symbol of status and affluence. The result of Nestle’s promotional campaign, coupled with a ceneral increased attraction to Western ways, has been widespread malnutrition and sometimes death. Research in Kenya, Venezuela, Chile and Nigeria has shown a higher incidence of sickness among bottle-fed babies than those who are the of Economically, spread breast-fed. hurt already impoverished bottle-feeding has families. According to the Saturday Review of the Sciences, “a laborer in Uganda may need to spend as much as 33% of his daily wage for baby’s milk; in Chile, 20%; 50%.” in Nestle continues to maintain that it cannot be responsible for formula misuse Because of a strong anti-bottle-feeding campaign, Nestle now uses less severe methods of promotion. Recent policy changes place an emphasis on the superiority of breast milk; educational and instructional materials clearly explain proper use of the formula; Nestle no longer uses saleswomen in nurse’s uniforms to promote radio mass-media jingles and bottle-feeding; advertising have been discontinued. All of these changes are a significant step. The fact remains, however, that poor mothers still have dirty water, still cannot sterilize their utensils, still cannot afford the proper amount of powdered milk. Nestle continues to promote its baby foods to hospitals and clinics, often donating posters and formula samples under the guise of "nutritional education.” Nestle continues to amass enormous profits from its formula Tanzania, industry. The production of artificial formula is based in Vevey, Switzerland; Nestle USA is a subsidiary of that company. Refusing to buy Taster’s Choice and Nestea and Stouffer’s and all other Nestle products made in the U.S. makes a financial impact on the Swiss mother company. Writing letters of complaint to the Nestle company in White Plains, N Y. will undoubtedly have an effect othe company in Switzerland. If enough people voice their opposition to the continued practice of putting profits before human beings, possibly Nestle will see their present sales policy as the unethical and immoral practice that it is. Possibly this multinational company, and others like it, will reverse their trend toward greed and self-interest to one of compassion and responsibility. Anne Meisenzahl Western New York Peace Center Quick UFO demise To the Editor I would like to respond to an article written by C. Chips on his appraisal of the rock band UFO. Last week I attended a concert at the Century Theater where I was able to get a first-hand look at this so called “great” band. Appearing with UFO were two of Canada’s better hard rock bands, Max Webster and Rush. Max Webster, Canada’s answer to Frank Zappa, was extremely impressive. Put into this category, UFO was definitely outclassed. Getting back to the article. Chips states that. “UFO has probably one of the most low keyed positions in the rock press.” I can clearly understand why after listening to their drawn out, lackadaisical performance at the Century. Chips also says, “There are no long enduring drum, bass, or guitar solos, just a pure and enthusiastic barrage of sound.” In other words, UFO doesn’t employ the musicians with the capabilities or skill to perform a half way decent solo. Later in the article, Chips lauds Paul Raymond on his adaptability to switch from keyboards to rhythm guitar. In concert, however, Raymond’s guitar playing barely could be heard: his versatility went unnoticed I agree with one point Chips makes in his review. He says of UFO’s bassist Pete Way, “All he does is jump from stage left to right.” That’s about all Pete can do because he can’t play bass worth shit! In conclusion, “The future of UFO will definitely soar to higher tangents,” is a very biased appraisal on Chips’ part. Personally, I can't find a single good point about this band and 1 see a quick demise to their future. Hager UFO sighted FEEDBACK Unstable male sexuality To the Editor While i cannot respond in sufficient detail to all six responses to my letter on gay rights, kindly allow me a few paragraphs in which to deal with three of the issues they raised. A controversy arose over the extent of homosexual behavior in America. 1 was challenged to “refute” Kinsey’s statistics. The truth is that there is nothing to refute, and their repeated claim that the Kinsey Report “proved” that 16% of American males are gay makes me wonder if any of them have ever even glanced at the book. First of all, Kinsey rejects the use of the label “homosexual”; he refers varying instead to persons with degrees of homosexual experience. He establishes six categories, ranging from a single episode to a lifetime of exclusively homosexual practice (Kinsey et. Sexual Behavior in the American Male, p, 617). al.. Second, his definition of homosexual behavior itself varies. Sometimes, he uses as his criteria “homosexual experiences or reactions'' which would include the entertainment of erotic thoughts about men in the absence of any contact (p. 650). Other times, he says that he confines his data to “those who were brought to orgasm as a result of (physical contact with other males].” (p. 623) Third, as a rsult of these vagaries in criteria and classification, Kinsey’s figures vary so much that, depending on one’s orientation, one can choose statistics “proving” that as many as 18 percent or as few as of American men are 4 percent “homosexuals” (p. 650). On p. 651 one can pick between a high of 15.9 percent and a low of 3.3 percent; on p. 654, between 13.7 percent and 6.2 percent. Kinsey’s has been Fourth, methodology criticized as employing too many prison samples and thereby inflating the frequencies of the incidence of homosexual behivior (George Gilder, Sexual Suicide , p. 283). Fifth, Kinsey’s data are confined entirely to Whites. Those using the Kinsey Report to prove the wide extent of homosexuality have been neither honest nor thorough in their research. The typical estimate, seen time and again both before and after Kinsey’s data were published, is about 5 percent tcf. One in Twenty , Bryan Magee, p 43). If this figure be inaccurate, let us have proof, but not from the Kinsey Report. Implicit in every letter was the assumption that homosexual relationships are simply an alternative form of human love, with the same potential for fulfillment as the love of a man and a woman. Most gay relationships are shallow and transitory, as figures supplied by former Kinsey associate William Simon illustrate. In a study of 550 white gay men, 50 percent indicated that most of their sexual partners were one-night stands; 10-20 percent said that they frequently had sex in public toilets; and many more made contacts in other public places, about 30 percent had been robbed by a sexual partner. 40 percent had never had an affa.r lasting as long as twelve months (The Sensuous Society, "Playboy Panel: Homosexuality," p. 8^1 To the Editor the article, 1 would just like to express a word of thanks to C.

We have had an unresponsive administration, a divided campus, rotten weather, and living conditions which prohibit any expression of humanity (viz. Ellicott). The one hassle that we don’t need is from our own ranks, and yet this is precisely where a lot of uncomfortably bad vibrations are coming from. To be specific, I believe that Sub-Board has reached a point in its organizational development where it dominates student life and student government, rather than acting as simply an administrative servant of the students. The Billy Joel concert tickets is only the latest in a growing line of Sub-Board abuses of the student interest. Remember the pay-offs to “hard workers” last winter? Did you know that Sub-Board has its own computer! This, in a University strapped for funds. And now the latest insult to our intelligence, we are told that we can’t know how much our employees make at Sub-Board because we couldn’t understand the figures. My God, old Bob Haldeman couldn’t have come up with a better line. Well, if Sub-Board won’t tell you how much Tom Van Nortwick makes, I’ll give you a ballpark figure . . $20,000 a year. Yep, that’s what we the students pay; remember, he’s only the top cookie. I’ll tell you one thing; I don’t care how much that damn bureaucrat works, it’ll be a cold day in hell that he or any of our “elected” Sub-Board members can justify that waste to me. Student government and entertainment is properly a volunteer or at most a non-profit effort; at the pSy Mr. Van Nortwick is . getting, 1 believe that both ideals are being violated. As much as I am outraged at the salary of Mr Van Nortwick, I cannot really blame him; there are few students in this world who would turn down the opportunity to do what he’s doing for the money he makes. What really gets me angry is the attitude and actions of the Sub-Board student representatives; they are the people who voted the salaries and okayed the computer. 1 am ashamed to be a graduate student who has served as a Graduate Student Senator, when 1 realize that Mitch Zoler, a fellow graduate student, heads up the representatives. 1 am sure that Mr. Nagarajan, GSA president, feels more than a little embarassed by Zoler’s activity; the GSA president was advised not to nominate Mr. Zoler because Mitch was a little “too close” to the Sub-Board bureaucracy. I know that Mr. Nagarajan has since fought, with some other student associations, the wasteful spending patterns of Sub-Board; Mr. Sartisky, the current GSA representative, was the person who To the Editor. efforts have been in vain, because the smaller student associations do not have equal voice on the Sub-Board Council. The Student Association (SA), by virtue of their overwhelming contribution to the Sub-Board operating budget, has the dominant say in Sub-Board affairs. I have no quarrel with this Place yourself in the following situation. Your son has run in between two parked cars, into the path of another, sustaining only a few minor cuts and bruises, nothing serious. The driver, even though not at fault, offers to pay the medical expenses as a friendly gesture. A year later, your son breaks his leg falling off a bike. You think to yourself, “the broken leg was damaged in the accident, thereby causing it to break easily when your son fell off his bike.” Your lawyer advises this argument may hold up in arrangement. I do get very upset when 1 find that the dominant group of the Sub-Board Council are the people who buy every piece of propagandic bull given out by the Sub-Board management. Of course, every bureaucracy will ask for increased budgets every year; nature and bureaucracies seem to fill vacuums very well even when artificially constructed. But for a student representative body to give in to such demands is acting in bad faith, with respect to their constituents; it’s either that or the courtroom. Even though you fully realize the traffic accident had no bearing on your son breaking his leg, you figure this is a chance to make some big, easy money. You sue the driver of the car for $30,000. The preceding situation is real, not fictional. It is extremely real to my sister. She is the driver being sued for $30,000. What would have been your actions in the same situation? To those of you who would not even think of suing, I commend you on your honesty and moral values. To those of you who would take the “grab all you can” attitude, I’d say you have a few screws loose upstairs concerning the treatment of your fellow man. Maybe this is the basis for some of today’s social problems? There are too many people in today’s society with the “take care of yourself, screw the other guy” philosophy. Keep this in mind if you ever have the chance to sue under false conditions with the possibility of making a few, quick bucks. You just could be the next person with the $30,000 lawsuit shoved in your face. - they’re just plain dumb. So what’s new with all this criticism? Is it just more articulation of what’s wrong with this place? No, because I’m going to tell students what can be done. Sub-Board is in need of an independent management work audit, to see if the job it does is done effectively, not just efficiently. And this audit can be done by hiring students from management at one both the undergraduate and graduate levels to do this job. Further, I recommend to those student associations who are justly critical of the Sub-Board activities to pull out people who don’t need to bang their heads against walls when no one is listening. Find out what accounting firms in the area are competitive with Sub-Board’s accounting charges. Work out your own schedule of activities using the resource which is most valuable and least tapped on this campus, The Students It has been done in the past, and still is done on spme campuses. Make Sub-Board be competitive and effective as an agency for students. Right now, the undergraduates are being ripped off from the benefits of their 67 dollar student fee. So are the graduate and professional students who pay to almighty God of Sub-Board. Any future referendum on fees should be closely examined, and better alternative made available to student voters than simply an up or down vote. Future representatives to Sub-Board should be screened by voters in order to find out their views on the activities of that bureaucratic disaster. In the end, it comes down to the student voter; this is where the minions of Van Nortwick, and the representatives on the council are placing their bets. They know how to manipulate student apathy. They know that they have the upper hand in the voting booth, because we, the students, never say no more waste! Before we go hit the effectively streets in protest to the latest administrative outrage, maybe we ought to clean our own dirty linen -nowI - Steven Tiinmel KMT propaganda To the k'ditor. 1 wrote a letter to you last week I did not see il in The Spectrum, just like several other letters about spying, written by other Chinese students. I don’t think it’s quite fair not only to us, but also to all UB students, because you are providing an image which only represents one side of the story. But I still want to try it, for the last time. 1. It’s a typical story happening around this country, in other universities, supported by some organizations, in a systematic way. First, one or two pro-C'ommunist present a false charge about “KMT without proof and without result. Second, spying” the US—China People Friendship Association” or similar organizations use it as propaganda, and for slander against a government they don’t like. 2. One of the reasons they are doing such things is that your country is now in a situation to make decisions about “China,” and they are trying to keep you from making a rational decision. 3. Anyone who really believes that there are spies in our University should go to the F.B.l. Obviously, no one did that nor will they do it, because this is not what they really believed, and that is not their real purpose. 4. I did not try to do propaganda work for my country. I did not attack the Chinese Communist Government. All I want is to let the students know some of the facts here in our University. But I am very sorry to see the unfair attitude of our student - — recommended making the salaries public.

Many times they are kicked out and abandoned or turned into shelters for adoption or put to sleep. Unfortunately, people still continue to purchase dogs for the wrong reasons obtaining these animals like they would a new pair of shoes. Sam Simple is walking to Squire Hall for lunch when he spots a dog running freely through the fountain area. An anonymous bystander shouts out a command and the dog runs to his master’s side. Simple thinks to himself, "Wouldn’t it be great to own a Dog dependence dog like that?” That night Sam -visits a local The story of Sam Simple is pet shop. He’t not quite sure what obviously a hypothetical one, breed of dog he wants, but he sure though the real world is full of did like the one he saw that cases of people being matched afternoon. He describes the dog to with the wrong dog; the results a salesperson who says it was sometimes being tragic. Some, like probably a Labrador Retriever. Sam, are impressed by the Sam then spends 200 dollars on a majestic qualities of a dog who cute, black-colored puppy. Three gives complete devotion to his weeks later he sells the dog with owner. Others might see the canine creature as a companion great feelings of relief. Poor Sam? No, poor Rover! and/or possible protector. Or Thousands of healthy dogs maybe someone sees a dog who reminds him of a girl he once met in Topeka. Glances are psychologists have their own reasons and explanations why a person feels the need for a dog, and specifically the want of a particular breed of “man’s best friend.” One classic example could be a 90-pound weakling with sensations of inferiority owning a killer German Shepherd or Doberman Pinscher. Another example might be a lonely old lady with a poodle she treats like her own baby. How does one avoid making a mistake if owning a domesticated, carnivorous mammal is desired. There are no big secrets to success, just some basic common sense guidelines. The Council of Pet Education states that owning a pet can be a wonderful but experience, responsibility is required. It is essential to understand these responsibilities before acquiring a include pet. Responsibilities providing food and shelter, vaccination, neutering, licensing, adequate exercise, and training for your pet. An owner must also provide care for his animal during a vacation and be prepared at all times for medical emergencies. ‘Don’t over-dog’ Roger Caras, an ABC -TV correspondent assigned full-time to animal coverage, says the first rule in becoming an owner (especially the first time) is “don’t over-dog yourself.” In other words do not get more dog than you can handle. He asserts that with over a hundred pure breeds, and an infinite number of variations in random-bred dogs, there are no simple rules. A dog’s size, coat, activity needs and aggressive tendencies are all factors that must be considered when buying Caras says. Another important consideration is where you and your dog will live. Apartments, for instance, are not ideal for breeds who need a great deal of exercise, such as Irish Setters or Old English Sheepdogs. A dog is going to cost money. The initial purchase price depends on the kind of dog you want. Show quality dogs usually start at the $400 mark while the average pure-bred, pet quality dog runs between 75 and 250 dollars. Dogs at animal shelters, like the Erie County SPCA, are available at a very modest adoption fee. People purchasing dogs should make sure to check things out before making a mistake for which they will be sorry. And as any experienced dog-owner will say, upon acquiring a puppy, the key word is “patience. ” Biology Department studied to find areas needing improvement An evaluation of this University’s Biology Department took place in October to determine what improvements, if any, are needed to upgrade the Department’s programs. The evaluation, the results of which have not yet been disclosed, was conducted by professors from various universities including Cornell, Harvard, Vanderbilt, and Rockefeller Institute. The purpose of the review, according to Biology Department Chairman Om P. Bahl, is “to point out strengths and weaknesses in the Department.’’ He added that the major weakness now is in the guidance for future directions of the Department. “We want to find out where to focus our attnetion to strengthen weak areas. It would be premature to suggest what areas need strengthening before the results are received,” said Bahl. Professors on the Committee were provided with documents related to biology programs, including research faculty records, one month prior to the review. Committee members then met with faculty members to gain information necessary to make an accurate evaluation. All Department activities were evaluated under Bahl’s initiation. The Biology Department has not been singled out for evaluation. “Graduate and undergraduate school programs are periodically reviewed at this University,” stated Associate Vice President of Academic Affairs Claude Welch. The results of the review will probably go to the Vice President of Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn, according to Bahl. The results were expected three weeks after the review took place and have not yet been received.

For many local residents it symbolized dissident students, antisocial drugs, behavior and occasional distrubances. representatives! *>“ by Lewis Feinerman Spectrum Staff Writer 1977 the however, Recently, have seems to university developed a new image. Many of its neighbors now have laudatory its remarks concerning and national international reputation as an institute for higher learning. Its cultural programs and economic benefits to the community have also been noted, with favor. One major reason for the change in community opinion is that many local residents are connected to the university in some way. Hundreds of them work there or have children who have attended. Stony Brook has not only been accepted by the community, it has, in fact, become a large part of it. Some 900 faculty and staff members live within a five mile radius. About three-quarters of Stony Brook’s graduates have settled on Long Island, many in close proximity to the school. The university presently pumps about $150 million into the Long Island student approval annually. The college opened in 1957 in temporary quarters in Oyster Bay. It was named the State University College on Long Island and designed to be a small institution for preparing math and science teachers on the high school and college level. The school was to move in 1962 to a 480 acre site in Stony Brook donated by Ward Melville. However, between the planning and the execution, the SUNY board changed its master plan and made Stony Brook one of the four university centers. It was also picked to house a medical school and a teaching hospital. Many residents felt “tricked” by the imposition of a multiuniversity where they had been expecting a small school. Campus-community relations hit a low in the late 1960’s. In 1968 police raided the campus and arrested more than 30 students on drug charges. This led many community residents to refer to Stony Brook as the “Drug Store.” A year later students stoned and burned campus police cars when more drug arrests were made. In 1970, students blocked traffic in the community in an anti-war protest in front of the draft board office. Student demonstrations took place regularly over Vietnam, campus housing, and any administrative decision which did not meet Growth improved attitudes Albert Cursor, President of the of Chamber Village Three Commerce, pointed out at a “the that recent meeting University is becoming a part of the community .. . the resistance to it has melted away a lot.” Asked why he thought so, he replied. “Mainly because of the money it brings local businesses and because as the area has grown, many of the new people have a husband or wife who works there.” Since there is no local shopping area within walking distance of the campus, the college does not have a community with which it can identify. As one administrator noted, “We need some kind of business zone near the campus. I see the development as inevitable. My worry is that someday we will wake up and find someone’s developed it before we can plan for it.” large degree the To a 6000 resident university’s students live self-sufficiently.

You didn’t get much sleep in your cramped bus seat, or much the night before for that matter, so by the time you hit the Queen City you’re pretty fagged out. Maybe you’ll find a bed for the night and catch your connection tomorrow. After all, Cleveland is still another four hours away, plus a couple hours wait in the bus terminal. Yeah, that’s what you’ll do. Just outside the waiting room you summon a cab driver and ask him where you can find a cheap room for the night. He suggests the YMCA. So you have him drive you to Pearl and Genesee Streets, where adjacent to the future Buffalo Convention Center arc the Y and the Genesee Hotel. It is an unseasonably warm hight for November, mid 50s, and you idle on the corner for a minute. The dividing line between the Y and the hotel is barely distinguishable on this semi-lit corner.

So you select it on the jukebox and return to your stool at the counter where a cup of coffee is waiting. The coffee shop counter is about 18 feet long with a blue formicaed top.

The win, registered at the Center, Sports Tonawanda improved Buffalo’s record to 2-2 on the season. It also upped the Bulls’ New York State Collegiate Hockey Association mark to 2 0. larly first period play was ragged as neither team looked organized. Buffalo had an early power play advantage but could not score as several shots went of the goal or were wide deflected. Then, 35 seconds after the penalty to Brockport had expired, Rich MacLean scored the first goal of the game. Stu Campbell took a shot and MacLean, who was parked in front of the net, deflected it in. It was the sophomore defenseman’s first goal as a Bull. “It feels pretty good to score that first goal,” MacLean said afterward. the During next twenty the minutes, the Bulls used well, as they man-advantage scored four goals, three on power plays. Junior Brien Grow, senior captain Chris Bonn and MacLean all tallied on power plays. Tom Wilde scored with both teams at full were strength “Wo forechecking they well and coughed up the puck,” observed Wilde.

Well, eighth year coach Ed Michael isn’t in the business of guessing, but he believes his squad against is loaded with potential and should do well if it can stay “healty, happy and eligible.” Despite the loss of lettermen Bob Martineck, Ray Pfeifer and Gene Tundo, Michael believes the Bulls have the talent necessary to better last season’s 8-8 record Michael sees this year’s team as a blend of youth and experience. The Bulls, as usual, will face a tough schedule, including such powerhouses as Pittsburgh, Penn State and Syracuse University.

Because the value of every diamond is determined by four characteristics (cut, color clarity and carat weight), you can always use these qualities to your best advantage. Perhaps you’re attracted by the grandeur of a large diamond. Well sometimes a large stone can cost the same as a smaller one. Simply because it has a little more color. Or a delicate birthmark hidden inside. On the other hand, you may feel size isn’t the most important quality. Then you could choose a diamond that’s small, but perfectly cut to sparkle with an icy-white elegance. In any case, you’ll be able to find one to suit your personality. Because each one is an individual, with its own combination of characteristics. And you can use these qualities any way you wish, to help you decide what’s precisely right for you. But the important thing to remember is to buy a diamond engagement ring you’ll be happiest with. You’ll be sharing it for a lifetime with someone you love. And for that reason alone, you should be choosy. A diamond is forever.

Resenow, was requested by the Mayor to coordinate what may be the most thorough set of “transitional information” be be gathered for a newly elected mayor. Rosenow did not know offhand of any city administration that had prepared any transition documents. “I believe this is a generous gesture on the part of Mayor Makowski. With the pressing problems that this city faces at this moment, Mr. Griffin cannot afford a month layoff to learn,” commmented Rosenow. The Director was apprehensive about Griffin’s campaign pledge to clean house in City Hall “because it takes time to get acquainted with the problems properly.” Debt and taxes One of the problems Griffin will have to deal with in respect to finance is the issue of the Occupancy Tax Refund. This tax was levied last year on all tenants in the city of Buffalo requiring a payment of eight to ten dollars, to be collected by the landlords. However, the City Council wishes to back the monies pay ($900,000) and it is creating an nightmare,” “administrative according to Rosenow. The problems with the payback plan includes no precedent for this sort of action and an extreme difficulty in tracking down those who the people paid tax. to Rosenow, (According approximately 20 percent of urbanites move every year.) Another financial issue is the school board deficit. Currently, the school board is overspending to the tune of $11.1 million for this fiscal year (’77-’78). “We are accustomed to mild overspending but this is quite a figure to deal with,” said Rose now, who sees layoffs, closing the schools down for a period, and federal aid as possibilities. The Housing Authority deficit another financial issue with which Griffin will have to deal. and (Housing Urban HUD Development) has turned down a proposal to federalize the Ellicott is and Mall project requirements the city meets its of a $2 million Talbert and “unless deficit there exists the James Griffin areas, questions of what to do with four hundred families,” he said. to five on the labor side there is the of the police who have operated without a contract for two years. There should be an panel before January 1, 1978 between the city and the police union, said Rosenow. arbitration Organizational issue Commentary issues include the Reorganization of Community —continued on page 6 — That absurd Death Penalty Sadat issues plea for Mid-east peace by Jay Rosen Managing Editor measured if we are even to bother wasting newsprint arguing this deterrent theory that such a punitive difference would be enough to convince a would-be murderer to remain a would-be murderer. — New York’s Death Penalty Law was recently axed by the State Court of Appeals. The death bill, however, is still very much alive. Legislative supporters of the law, which would mandate the death penalty for killers of police officers and prison guards, have promised a new attempt at What lunacy Are we seriously expected to swallow this almost laughable pretense that Joe T. Thug passage. considers the situation and Opponents of the bill have a decides that he is willing to shoot much stronger theological base a cop if it means he man only face from which to argue than the life in the can? And this same Joe standard bleeding heart liberalism. T. Thug, after passage of this law, Ed Koch’s absurd carnivalling for when confronted with the same the death penalty aside, most situation, will again consider his political liberals are concerned options and decide that no, it’s about both the moral and not worth it, not if I’m going to practical implications of the the chair? The cop will thus live? It scarcely deserves mention that, controversial law. especially in the case of police of the death Supporters and prison guards, penalty usually reside in one of officers two camps of reason. One holds murders are irrational, desperate that the death penalty is a acts. What lunacy to even suggest measure that a slice of legislation is going preventative against murder, a deterrent. The other to metamorphisize a split-second camm demands retribution for the almost reflexive act of violence an into what amounts a comparative wrong committed to society shopping among criminals. eye for a proverbial eye. To turn the argument around Presumably, those who cling to the preventative measure theory and accept this deterrent theory, 1 and support the bill, believe that a might legitimately wonder: Why criminal upon being informed of stop with cops and prison guards 9 the new law, will think twice If we are presented with this about shooting a cop or prison wonder of criminology, the death of tall capable guard. This assumes that the penalty, criminal thinks at all, before preventative leaps in a single pulling the trigger. No matter how legislative bound, why should we turn penalogical hard 1 try, 1 simply cannot picture not this a potential cop killer stopping Frankenstein on the murderers’ himself to size up his chances. world? More specifically, if we can What is even less palatable is the homicides involving thought that the difference prevent between life in prison and the policemen and prison guards, we and such a can, with just the sweep of a electric chair disparity must be able to be subcommittee pen, prevent the - of bank guards, informants, estranged lovers and politicians. What right does the legislature then have, to keep these life-preserving powers away from all people who might some day run the risk of murder? Again 1 ask: Why stop with only two groups of possible victims? It would be reasonable to conclude that this deterrent theory would be more applicable to, for example, the killers of mob informants, who really do plan out their deeds and would have the time to weigh their options. In fact, cop killers would probably be the least affected by this preventative measure rap, since they are probably the most impulsive. Are you prepared to tell this mob informant’s widow that her dead husband did not deserve to be included in the Death Penalty Law’s wonderous powers? killings Again accepting for a moment the deterrent theory, might I also legitimately propose that the more the law and its subsequent executions are publicized the more potential murderers that will view what’s in store for them? The more young, still molding minds will see the reward they will get for being bad citizens9 In total, the more murders that will be prevented? Given this, I would expect from the death penalty’s supporters commensurate support for televised nationally executions. “Spread the medicine around,” I would listen for them to say, “make sure everyone swallows a spoonful.” 1 hear nothing of this. What I turn my nose most at this whole concerning —continued on page 3— Egyptian President Anwar el-Sadat delivered an eloquent plea for peace and a blunt reminder of the deep differences separating his nation and Israel Sunday. He appeared before the Israeli Parliament, fulfilling his promise of a week ago, speaking in Arabic to the hushed chamber and beginning what many hope to be the end of 29 years of hostility. Sadat made it clear that he accepted the existence of Israel, but repeated his belief that lasting peace in the Mideast depends on Israeli withdrawal from occupied Arab lands and the recognition of Palestinian rights. Sadat declared that he had not undertaken this historic journey to Israel to conclude a peace agreement, to end the state of belligerence or to arrange a new disengagement of troops. “1 have come to deliver a message,” he said, to insist upon a peace with justice.” Right to exist Sadat pledged to the Israeli audience that a peace settlement would include the recognition of Israel’s right to exist within secure boundaries. “If you want to live with us in this part of the world . . . we welcome you among us with all security and safety,” the Egyptian President said However, Sadat continued, “I tell you that you have to give up once and for all the dreams of conquest and to give up the belief that force is the best method in dealing with the Arabs.” Prime Minister Menahem Begin replied in his speech, “We do not believe in might and we have never put our trust in might in dealing with an Arab country.” Referring to the return of territories occupied in the 1967 war. Begin said that Jews “well not be put within range of fire for annihilation He ignored the Palestinian issue entirely. Begin praised Sadat for his “courage” in making his trek, which has prompted expressions of outrage across the Arab world. ” Proposed more visits The Prime Minister tried to draw his visitor into considering two-nation peace arrangements, which Sadat had promised other Arab Begin promised that, following this visit, any Egyptian would be free to come to Israel. leaders he would avoid Begin also proposed that leaders of other Arab “confrontation” states, such as Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, should follow Sadat’s example and come for talks in Israel President Carter saw the proclamations of the two leaders as “a contribution to the cause of peace However, the prevailing view in the Administration seemed to be uncertainty, coupled with concern that Sadat’s visit might simply end, leaving no visible change in either * ” side’s position. On one hand, the Administration Carter in particular wanted to appear supportive of the Egyptian leader’s bold move in visiting Israel But on the other, there was private apprehension that instead of advancing chances for peace, the high-risk trip might increase tensions between the two nations. — - �Emergency medical services at the EUicott Complex and Governor’s Residence Halls are defective, according to Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) organizer. Bob Smilling. The Health Service satellite unit in Porter Quad of the EUicott Complex g staffed by only one Registered Nurse who may be either out to lunch or already helping someone when an emergency arises, SmOling said, and there may be problems responding to a second call. These factors, according to Smilling, add up to a delay in first response personnel arriving to aid and render care. In most cases this is not of critical importance, but in the very least, it is uncomfortable for the injured person, he said. Smilling’s proposal to change the system by starting an emergency medical team would employ students who meet the requirements of the. American Red Cross Advanced First Aid Care Level and who currently live on the Amherst Campus to supply first responder emergency care. Those students, who must also be certified in Basic Life Support Level, such as cardiac pulmonary resuscitation, automobile extrication, stabilization of fractures, emergency childbirth, alcohol and drug poisoning and treatment of severe bums and frostbite, will be equipped with a pager so that they can be reached by University Police when needed. The College H First Aid Coordinator and his assistants will take care of the coordination of services and other administrative tasks, Smilling explained. For three years, Coordinator Wayne Hettich and Smilling have been trying to organize a team of First Aid Technicians with current advanced training in emergency certification from Red Cross and basic life support certification from the Red Cross or Heart Association. There would be a technician staffed at both Governors and Ellicott, whose purpose would be to “cut down on response time and make the patient feel more comfortable until more" help can arrive,” Smilling elaborated. The advantage of having First Aid Technicians on campus would be a more efficient use of health service personnel, he continued. The University Police and nurses on duty will not have to be called in case someone needs help, he said. “We {the technicians] would be able to assist whomever arrives on the scene and help take care of the nurse’s patients if she is needed in an emergency,” he added. Smilling said that the team, currently sponsored by College H “hopes to become self sufficient and self perpetuated.” Richard Delaney on Saturday night, as part of the Third World Week. The New York Street Theatre Caravan presented a collection of skits focusing on the United States ‘Feds the villains’ Lindsay Youngstown, by Kevin McNamara Spectrum Staff Writer Former New York City mayor V. Lindsay accused the federal government of being the villain that perpetrated Gotham’s financial debacle, in a Canisius presentation College entitled, “What’s Wrong With American Cities,” last Wednesday. Said Lindsay; “It is the federal John government which says that anyone can live wherever they want, and then mandates that New York must pay welfare costs. It is the federal government which h|s allowed unrestricted immigration from Puerto Rico.” The presentation was the first of this year’s lecture series sponsored by the William H. Fitzpatrick Chair of Political Science at Canisius College. At the beginning of the talk, Lindsay described his deep “roots” with Buffalo, mentioning his strong alliance with Democratic Party Chairman Joseph Crangle. He described political life as an art rather than a science, said “there are no fixed rules” and claimed all “are meant to be broken at some time.” Lindsay described the U.S. House of Representatives as a “house that is not always a home” and as a very good club. rules No one is alone He claimed that while Buffalo and Buffalonians have little confidence in themselves and their community, the same is true of York, New and Cleveland Ohio. Lindsay asserted that no one is alone in their problems. “The American is city not separable from everything else in the U.S.,” Lindsay noted. “We are all parts of one ship and must sink or float together.” He described New York at a very tough town, a very highly creative, competitive pacesetter “with seventy Japanese restaurants. A town where you can never be lonely, or else be the lonliest person in the world.” The and its counties are the only local governments in the U.S. required to pay welfare out of its own finances, even though there are ten major U.S. cities with a higher proportion of population on dependency. The one billion dollar cost of welfare to New York was the difference between a balanced budget and the actual financial shortcoming in 1976, Lindsay claimed. “We are in economic with warfare Connecticut,” he said, because there is no personal income tax in Connecticut. former mayor said the survival of the U.S. city is essential because “If American cities don’t make it, Lindsay predicted that taxes America will not.” would result in a “Dis-United Lindsay went on to compare States instead of a United States New York to Britain “in early because of regional differences World War II.

Even the founding fathers, he illustrated, (Adams, Understand the city Jefferson and Franklin) viewed Lindsay cited the appearance cities as “the source of evil, of “an army of illiterate . . . pestilence and crime.” According unemployed, uneducated, to Lindsay, many burdens are non-white huslters roaming the thrust upon New York City by streets, the terrorizing federal and state laws. New York neighborhoods,” as the most scary thing happening in New York, and predicted that these groups would soon spill over into the suburbs. He claimed that “the center of the problem is the core city and only understanding the core city can lead to solutions, but such understanding is not present in Washington,” he said.

Death penalty... —continued from get rid of society’s rejects in rhetorical trappings lifted from sociology texts; trappings that please ears already ravaged by tales of a counter-productive and inept criminal justice system. In this sense, the death penalty is very much whaf America wants to hear. Ed Koch, of course, knows this better than I. The broader question of whether or not we want to bestow life-snufflng powers on the State will be left for Philosophy 101. The real question we must come to grips with is: Is New York’s Death Penalty Law meant as an end, or a beginning? I suggest you weigh your options, before the trigger is summarily pulled. foul-smelling Death Penalty Law in the face is why we shouldn’t retribution for all is the insistent reek of arbitrary demand legislation. Arbitrarily, killers of murders, or for that matter all demands “Society police officers and prison guards crimes? were decided to be more retribution” is probably the most dangerous than, well Son of Sam’s infantile theory of criminal type for instance.

The job of each task force is to define problems in their designated areas and suggest viable solutions to each. Delia said, “We want to solve all our problems in one fell swoop, or at least, to start working on them.” The formation of task forces represents the first time in SA history that the obligations of the senators have been so clearly elocidated in writing, according to Delia. Vice President of Sub Board I, Jeffrey lessoff, commented, “In the past there was a feeling that the Executive Committee knew what was going on, but the senators didn’t. Now the senators will be expected to work and give direction to us [the Executive Committee] the same way we have been supplying it to them.” There have been attempts in the past at forming committees, according to Delia, but people didn’t sign up and little was ever accomplished. Now SA has provided itself with three Task Forces and each has been assigned specific areas of interest to cover. The Academic Affairs Task Force, under the leadership of Bob Sinkewicz, will deal with library problems, SUNY planning, “R” date, credit/contact hours and academic advisement. The Student Affairs Task Force, headed by Paul Glauber, Will cover campus and off-campus housing, transition problems, the possibility of an Amherst Bike Compound, dorm problems, and an anti-rape escort system. The third group, the Student Activities and Services Task Force, under the direction of Pat Lovejoy, as of yet has not been assigned any particular areas of interest, but as Lovejoy put it, “We’re looking.” As to why the motion was passed, Delia stated, “We want to be more efficient. We want the entire Senate to be involved Lessoff mentioned the possibility of disciplinary action being taken should the senators not carry out their part of the newly implemented duties and responsibilities, and added “This is telling them they’ve got to do it!” The Senate plans to hold session within the month at which time the new task-force system will meet its first test.

Two of the advantages are the North and South Libraries, a convenient place for us of the EUicott Complex to study. EUicott is always busy with many extra activities adding noise to our environment, these libraries provide(d) a place to escape and do some real studying, Particularly in a Bonnie Burdei Louise Cavni quiet offended To the Editor I have been a student at U.B. for three years. During this time many an issue of The Spectrum has passed through my hands. Through the auspices of the aforementioned tabloid I have been subjected to a modicum of objective journalism and an unduly large amount of allegations, accusations and other types of biased nonsense. Much of the latter has been directed at our own country, the United States, with respect to its intercourse with underdeveloped nations When I picked up Wednesday’s (Nov. 16) copy of The Spectrum, 1 was particularly offended by an editorial entitled “Third World WeekIt was a very straighforward piece accusing Americans of being second only the devil himself in their use of “Imperialism.” 1 realize that our foreign policy has Damn that atmosphere. The ridiculously short hours imposed on these libraries are problem enough but, fortunately there is a place to go most times. To replace these libraries with offices fof student activities is foolish. After all, isn’t the most 7 important activity for most students studying not been entirely evenhanded either economically or politically, nevertheless a lot of good has been done by the U S. in the Third World. It consists of foreign aid grants, loans by the private sector and the World Bank (which we support heavily), relief in times of natural disasters, and the Peace Corps, just to cite a few examples. Therefore when 1 come across such naive “holier than thou” viewpoints such as the sort propounded in The Spectrum often are, it appalls In the future I would like to suggest that The Spectrum examine all issues in an objective manner more suited to the journalistic endeavor Finally, hope that from now on The Spectrum will make an effort to inform itself about the topics it reports on (e g. in this case a few economics, history and poly sci cou ;es would help).

Publically pledged to peace rather than to Isreal’s destruction, Sadat and Begin can commence a genuine dialogue on the issues, one of which is the Palestinian question Until representatives of Palestinians pledge themselves to Isreal’s something other than destruction and the murder of innocent civilians by their brave warriors, discussion cannot be fruitful Sadat, Begin, perhaps Hussein and Assad with the aid of moderate states such as Morocco, Saudi Arabia and others may start to build a peace in the Middle Fast.

I * I hate to belabor the issue of abortion, but I have yet to read anything from anyone who completely knows what he/she is talking about I am 23 years old and have fathered three children, two of whom were aborted. The first came about due to stupidity on my part, and the next two came through failure of birth control equipment. Pretty macho, huh? Well, I'm not proud of it. However, I think it at least qualifies me to talk about the implications of taking both routes. Please tell the self-righteous virgin, Mr Senefelder and others like him, that I am sick ot the phrase “If you’re gonna play, ya gotta pay .” Your kind can’t even begin to understand t he magnitude of the responsibility a person laces to have a child I mean, alter all, you can't make a hand pregnant, right? The implications, emotionally and financially, of having a child are highly disproportionate to succumbing to a biological urge. As they say, “It s a desperation situation,’’ pal, so before you shoot oil your mouth again, I’d suggest that you try to walk a mile in my shoes. To those pro-abortion, I have only this to say. Tin happily married now, with a nine-month old daughter and let me tell you, it hurts every time I look at her and think that I destroyed two other lives like hers. It's something I have to live with forever. Sure it’s tough, 1 work two jobs and go to MFC full time in order to make it, but it’s worth it Nowhere in the world wdl you ever find someone like your own child who cares tor you, no matter what you do, or how well you do it, as long as you care for her/him. It’s the simplest and most beautiful form of love you can make. Please think about that before you destroy your baby ! know this isn’t a literary masterpiece and it s had to write it lor myself heavy on the soap, but and for my two dead children.

The young Buffalo team was represented by Bob Esposito (yellow belt), Matthew Cherney (orange belt), Jack Gleason (blue belt) and senior member William Greco, a black belt holder. Of the four UB judoists, Cherney looked the most impressive with two black belt draws against that the team’s first performance was respectable and he predicted a decisive victory for Buffalo over Brockport in their match next semester.

Reiss Managing Editor The two page Cavages advertisement that appeared in Wednesday’s edition of The Spectrum evoked a considerable amount of consternation and shocked dismay on the part of the student here. It seems people felt that The Spectrum the self-proclaimed defender of student rights and bastion of bleeding heart liberalism, committed a heinous act in helping to promote the capitalistic endeavors of one Carl Cavage, the Lord of Buffalo record sales who, for two years, has savagely engaged the University in a law suit aimed at closing the student Record Co-op. population , And why shouldn’t these students be mad? The Spectrum has been one of the most fervent backers of the Co-op’s plight since Cavage undertook his actions in the name of free enterprise. It’s editorials in November of 1975, when the problem first arose, severely castigated the University administration for acquiescing to Cavage’s monopolistic demands and shutting down the student run organization when Cavage voiced his disapproval and threatened to take action. Spearheading that decision was University Vice President for Finance and Management Edward Doty, whose- resignation we called for only days later. University President Robert Ketter approved plans for a student 13, 1971, claiming “the end result could be termed cultural.” Ketter incurred certain guidelines on the organization to which the Co-op was to strictly adhere under Doty’s watchful eye. For whatever reason, whether due to Doty’s incompetence, the Co-op’s negligence or a combination of the two, the Co-op did not foDow the guidelines, providing the administration a convenient excuse to close the store. run Record Co-op on September Upon its creation, Doty had termed the Co-op’s legality “marginal best,” but when Cavage lodged his protest, Doty turned his back on the students, calling the store “an illegal enterprise.” We question today, as we did two years ago, “why was it legal then, and illegal at now?” What is maddeningly obvious to all observers is that the administration was perfectly willing to supply its students with a “beneficial” and “cultural” service as long as it did not interfere with the University’s outside business interests. When the administration was forced to make a decision whether to serve the students or the business community, it stepped on the students. When adversity knocked, so did the administration’s knees. When Ketter finally overruled Doty and reopened the Co-op, he placed it under such restrictive measures regulating its inventory, sales and hence, hours that its utility to students is questionable - One of the University's brand spankin' new bus shelters. —Jenson Amherstbus shelters coming The University is awaiting delivery of two bus tied up in the process of getting budgetary shelters to be placed on the Amherst Campus at approval from Albany. “We invested two trips to the Hamilton and Flint Loop stops. Albany in this,” he said. McGill pointed out that The shelters were ordered in September from they’ve had good cooperation from Albany, but the Columbia Equipment Company of Jamaica, the system is super-slow. New York, but according to Director of Busing The shelters, when installed, will be Roger McGill, “The University still doesn’t know approximately 50 feet long, with an aluminum when the shelters will be delivered.” He said that frame, a body of Lexan (a Plexiglas-like substance), the original target date for delivery was October a dome type translucent ceiling, and a bench 21. McGill plans to contact Columbia to obtain a running the length of the shelter. Administrators claim that the shelters are firm delivery date. “If the date they give us is not acceptable, we will go down to the factory to try being built this late because stops at Hamilton and Flint Loops are new. “They’ve only been in use to work out some sort of solution,” he said. the beginning of September,” McGill Assistant Vice President for Purchasing, Dr. since Paul Bacon, doesn’t know when the shelters, whose explained. Up until this year, buses ran along cost he estimated at approximately $8,000 apiece, Putnam Road, stopping in front of O’Brian and will be delivered. Bacon explained that some Clemens Halls. According to McGill, “the buses modifications had to be made. Vice President for had trouble on Putnam last year as trucks double Finance and Management Edward Doty said, “I parked and blocked the way.” McGill said that wanted them before Thanksgiving and I’m very there were some serious problems with this around unhappy that they weren’t here.” He added, “they exam time last year. Doty added that the University will shift to a closed arcade system on will be in shortly after Thanksgiving.” Putnam McGill explained that this system will use gates and would not allow the buses to enter. Exact funds needed Andy Nathanson McGill explained that the shelters project was - So why does The Spectrum now display two pages of precious space advertising the evil man’s wares? Because, as explained in Friday’s editorial, Sir Cavage has us by the discs. He advertises through the National Educational Advertising Service (NBAS), an organization which, we are told, supplies us with a considerable portion of our annual revenue. If we were not to accept Cavages ads, and the Editorial Board is united in its opposition to their appearance in our publication, we would run the risk of NBAS cancelling its account with us. Should that occur, The Spectrum could be forced to reduce the size and frequency of its issues, and would be placed on much shakier financial ground. Nevertheless, many of those who are cognizant of The Spectrum's predicament insist that there is something that can be done. Get more ads, print shorter papers, do something, they say. However, if students are indeed sincere in their desire never to see a Cavages ad in their newspaper, they can do something. The Spectrum is funded by student mandatory fees, receiving $35,000 from Sub Board I. Students who object to the display of Cavages ads should implore their government, the Student Association (SA), to reimburse The Spectrum for the losses it would incur by losing the NEAS account. SA is financially troubled as is, but a number of its officials told The Spectrum that they objected to the ad, and said something should be done about it immediately. Barring rampant hypocracy, students should find an open ear at SA. Failing that, students could take it upon themselves to organize a The Spectrum/Cavages fund to make up the difference in revenue. If every undergraduate here donated just over one dollar to the drive, Cavages ads would be kept out of the paper. Most practical of all, however, is for students to use their own discretion while purchasing records. Cavage engaged in the lawsuit against the C’o-op in order to compel captively bound students to frequent his store. But nobody is forcing students to go to Cavages, and sympathy and commitment to the Coop’s cause should provide the impetus to purchase records elswhere. The burden of fighting Cavage’s reaping of financial benefits from the closing of the Coop lies with the students. Temporary Health Service unitfor Amherst students University Health Services will soon add a new on the Amherst Campus but, according to Director of University Health Services Dr. M Luther Musselman, the projected operation will he “sloppy at best.” The new unit will be located in two rooms on the ground floor of the Porter Quad. Vice President for Facilities Planning, John Telfer commented that the delay in expansion is due to lack of available space. Telfer stated that whichever group is currently occupying the needed offices will be asked to relocate. Currently, Amherst Health Services is manned only be registered nurses. The expansion will consist of the addition of a doctor for consultation two hours a day Lab testing and prescriptions will still have to be obtained, at the Michael Hall unit on the Main Street Campus. Musselman explained that the proposed expansion will be temporary at best. “Eventually there will be one Health Service unit, located at the Amherst Campus,” he said. When asked why relocation to Amherst has been slow, when the great majority of the University population and activities are already located there, Musselman replied, “No unit building out there has been designated for Health Services, nor are we iri the building schedule.” Half baked Musselman added that after the expansion there will be “one half-baked and one really good service.” He said that this compromise is insufficient because labs and the pharmacy will remain on Main Street. The necessity of adequate health care on Amherst was exemplified by an Ellicott resident, who was recently ill. “1 had to take a bus and walk in the blustery, snowy, cold weather to Michael Hall just to see the doctor,” she said. “If tests were deemed necessary, I would have had to return the next day for the results and possibly a prescription. I know of one student who passed out on the bus while travelling to obtain her test results,” she added. One Ellicott Resident Advisor commented: “With more residents here and over 50 percent of the classes on this campus, the extent of Health Services located on Main Street as opposed to here is ridiculous. During last year’s blizzard there was a great fear of someone being hurt because there were no doctors here,” he stated. -Josh Werber �After eight years, a U. S. relations and the world bridge to somewhere Foreign Policy Symposium by Terry Martin Spectrum Staff Writer There has been no fundamental change of foreign policy since Carter has been President, according to panelists Ronald Meltzer of the Political Science Department, Michael Pyne of the Economics Department, and Clifton Yearley of the History Department who spoke before an informal audience in a symposium held last Tuesday in the Ellicott Complex. Meltzer, who spoke first on “The United States and the Less Developed World,” began by describing the background of relations between the U.S. and the Third World in a simplistic view. According to Meltzer, the Third World occupies a position of increasing importance in the world political arena. “No longer can the world be politically divided by the traditional east-west boundary of the superpowers,” he said. “Now a north-south boundary exists between the rich, industrialized countries and those that are beginning to develop, in other words, the haves and the have-nots.” A process of decolopialization has been occurring since the early 1960s, and the Third World is calling for a new international economic order, a redistribution of wealth and power to replace the old order that was created after World War II, according to Meltzer, Meltzer continued, “In the earlier period of Kissinger-Nixon foreign relations, our foreign policy was marked by a blatant disregard for the developing countries, and tended to focus instead on the existing power relationships and the attending of detente.” This began to change in 1973, according to Meltzer, with the confrontation between the U.S. and the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) over oil. It was then that the U.S. first felt OPEC’s economic prowess. There followed in the years 1973-76, a period of significant strife between the industrialized nations and the emerging Third World with intense confrontation in the United Nations. Change in tone “The more demands they made, the more resistant became the White House, and vice versa,” Meltzer said. “Beginning with Carter, there has been a change of tone (though not necessarily of substance) and a feeling that it is a legitimate foreign policy concern to deal with their economic development,” he said. “The Carter administration has been more sensitive and both we and they are moderating demands as a result. Also, the appointment of Young as ambassador to the U.N. has helped to change the tone,” Meltzer concluded. Meltzpr asserted that the U.S. has a great deal of economic interest in the Third World. He contended that the American government can’t ignore them anymore because of a number of factors: its strong reliance on their raw materials, the fact that 30 percent of our imported oil comes from the Third World, and approximately one third of American trade exports will go there (this will grow as they continue to develop) which, translated into financial data, is $28 billion, a number,which is expected to double in the next ten years and create two million more jobs for Americans. American corporations have investments worth over $60 billion at market value in the developing countries. Significant differences exist “There is now a trend toward an involving trade-off,” said Meltzer. “The industrialized countries want increased access to oil and raw materials, and the Third World wants increased access to capital, markets, and technology to escape their traditional dependence on the former.” In his closing remarks, Meltzer stressed that there are still very significant differences that will probably take a long time to iron out. “The focus of the Third World will be on changing the structural relationship with the industrialized countries, and case-by-case basis the focus of the U.S. will be on of individual countries and their problems,” he concluded. There will be fundamental changes in the nature and quality of political relationships, and an inclination toward interdependence where each country must deal with others in joint policy-making ventures, Meltzer added. Pyne followed next with “The Causes of International Crises.” In his opening remark, he made known that he disagreed with Meltzer on one point, and that is that he believes the world was » always interdependent. No workable theory According to Pyne, in 1971 Joan Robinson, an economics expert, pointed to a bankruptcy of economic theory saying that present theory takes no account of societal structure. Pyne stressed that there is presently no workable theory that exists to completely explain the causes of international crises and worldwide economics, and that the complexities of multinational the interrelationships of extremely would it difficult to make corporations provide one, but he explained that it is being worked on Pyne stated that Carter’s foreign policy did not exhibit much change from his predecessor’s. He said, “Both the represent interests of American machinery, and Carter cannot govern the direction that they will take.” Yearley was the final panelist of the symposium, and he spoke on "Perceptions of Domestic Policies as Determinants of American Foreign Policy.” Yearley said, “We have had many years of bi-polarity, but this period has passed away except for the continued existence of a nuclear balance. We how live in a world of pluralism.” According to Yearley, our resultant diminution of power is being made up for by Carter’s moralism. The era of the nation sovereign to itself is over, according to Yearley. “In fact, it is almost ridiculous to speak in terms of foreign policy,” he said. “Two hundred ten million people move back and forth between different countries every year. Political states are entwined with multinational corporations and their borders are becoming vague because of interpenetration and international communications. we have What we have gotten is transnationalism become a closer community,” he continued. Domestic concerns In terms of foreign policy the U.S. is more now pay more attention to domestic concerns, according to Yearley. “Our foreign policy will reflect this. The Carter administration has to pay attention to matters of moral rectitude since that is of concern here.” But he also warned that “they should pay attention to places like India as well as secure and will by Jay Rosen Managing Editor Bridge to Nowhere is now, well, somewhere. at Stony Brook’s quintessential The State University of New York eight years, been completed after has, of incompleteness symbol by the degeneration of signifying, to some, the end of an era marked nightmares. mud-smeared scaled-down into dreams grand construction a bridge that led The Bridge to Nowhere was exactly that, absolutely nowhere, abruptly ending in midair at the center of the structure was burgeoning Stony Brook campus.

It spawned supportive held atop its Parties were poems. countless sardonic jokes, songs and the place to get high. inevitably, it became and, surface concrete Just as inevitably, some began to view the Bridge as a sexual symbol, representing the frustrations of a collegiate sex life, since it did not connect with anything. More importantly, the Bridge betokened the bureaucratic blundering and ineptitude of the State, a perfect monument to all the scourges of attending a public university. The Balloons and beer In 1974, plans were unveiled to complete the Bridge to Nowhere, which proposed extending it to a new Fine Arts center. In order to accomplish this architectural improvisation, the Bridge would have to make several right angle turns. The turns were made, the structure by-passing the library altogether, and today the Bridge no longer leads to Nowhere. On November II, the completed Bridge was officially opened amidst dedication ceremonies and the release of thousands of colored balloons. The pageantry was followed by a beer blast. The student newspaper, Statesman, termed the opening “symbolic of nothing" since much of the campus remains unbuilt. Apparently someone agreed. The President of the school was hit in the face with a pie at the ceremonies. Fittingly, the pie missed its mark, striking a glancing blow to the administrator Student attitudes towards the bridge varied widely. To many, The Bridge to Nowhere became the essence of Stony Brook. "It’s like the whole campus is looking for completion but never finding it,” said one student. Others were more ambivalent. “I never walked on it, I’ll never walk on it It’s a waste of money,” went one comment. Over the years, synthesizing absurd theories concerning the Bridge became a campus pasttime. It was suggested that the bridge was really a giant diving board for the University President’s personal swimming pool, but the pool plans were scrapped when it was later revealed that said President was unable to swim. Some looked to put the Bridge to practical use, perhaps as a giant book drop slanted to the library, or as a practice stretch for the track team’s 100-yard dash men. Since the bridge is only 87 yards long, it was proposed that the runners turn around and run back thirteen yards. One unabashed student suggested that the bridge be connected to his dorm room. Original error? The Symposium on American Foreign Policy One of the more intriguing revelations about the Bridge to Nowhere was recently unearthed by Statesman It seems that a memo dating back to 1967, sent from the Director of Facilities Planning at Stony Brook to the Stale University Architect, warned of the embarassing implications of an incomplete bridge, “The bridge, a dramatic structure leading nowhere, would stand for several years as a constant reminder to our students that their convenient use of the existing campus is a casualty of future needs,” the memo said Hence the Bridge was on its way to Nowhere ten years ago. The memo suggested that “every factor argues for delay in building the bridge.” That suggestion was not heeded. Another memo, this one addressed to the University President, hinted that the Bridge’s rendezvous with Nowheresville was the result of errors in the original from Kissinger to Carter was sponsored by the Division of Student Affairs, moderated by Dr Michael Farrell of the Sociology Department, and due in large part to the efforts of Mildred Blake of the Student Affairs Office. More symposiums are planned for the future. design. A few devotees to the enigmatic lamented the passing of the Bridge to Nowhere.

The other 85-90 percent w-as due to people taking the glass and flatware for their own personal use,” Hosie claimed. When asked if there were any ways to prevent people from taking things, Hosie explained, “Many ideas have been considered but none are very efficient. One idea was offering knives, spoons, and forks for sale. There are people who like to keep knives and forks handy in their rooms, and if available, some students were willing to pay for them. Unfortunately, not many.” Hosie explained, “Twenty thousand dollars is about .7 percent of our operating budget for contract service, and it costs the contract students about $3.00 a year each for replacements; a little more or less depending on which meal plan they are on. Still $23,8000 is a lot of money.” Hosie explained that $23,000 would have bought each contract student seven steak dinners. Hosie stated that the Governors’ weekend service was closed because it was losing $25,000 per year. He added that the $23,8000 could have helped recuop that loss. Remember, these are only examples of how that money could have been spent if nothing had been stolen or broken,” Hosie said, “but it’s very unlikely nothing is going to be stolen or broken.” One Food Service employee remarked, “The amount of utensils taken from the cafeteria ia amazing. We never have enough of anything anymore." Many students of the questioned on the matter maintained that taking what isn't theirs is stealing, but “borrowing permanently” from Food Service is alright. Quipped on thief, “Who cares.

Crisis in the Third World: forum on history of struggle by Sue VanWert Spectrum Outlined at Staff Writer a symposium covering “Crisis if Imperialism and Third World Resistance The Economic Perspective” were the problems and exploitations faced Western-dominated Third by World nations. The Third World is generally referred to as those countries which, poor and though underdevelpped now, have great potential for increased power and wealth Through the bounty of natural resources, these states, such as the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and many of those in Africa and Latin America, are becoming increasingly important in world politics today. Peter Bell, an economist from SUNY at Purchase, opened the discussion with an explanation fur the “crisis of the 70s.” The crisis currently facing the world’s economy, what Bell termed a “rare period of restructuring, ” brought about by the changing nature of world politics. Stuck for bucks 1945, the American In emerged booming economy amidst a world virtually devasted by war.

This open economic order allowed all states to trade on equal terms with open access to marketplaces and a fixed exchange rate of currency The was plan distincly beneficial for sustaining the nation’s economy, heralding an unprecendented period of growth in the capitalist world. The U.S. spent time and money to develop a “program social stability” in the Third World but what resulted was “social control and imperialist intentions,” according to Bell. The sixties emerged with an explosion of peasant struggles, working class agitation, and guerilla movements “that shook the world to its very foundation.

And of course, it will be no surprise to anyone if U.S. does violate even more pulicly its own arms embargo! The reasons for such a U.S. policy towards Vorster regime are not hard to see. Some 400 U.S. corporations operate in South Africa with investments totally more than two billion dollars. Special to The Spectrum , President Carter pledged recently to support an international arms embargo against South Africa for the next six months. And just before that, in a diplomatic move supposedly designed to show its displeasure with South Africa, the U.S. recalled its ambassador from Pretoria. Do these moves imply that is ending its military backing for the Vorster regime? If one would remember that the U.S. has supplied the very bullets used by Vorster’s regime against the Azania people, then the utter hypocrisy of Carter’s stands become obvious. |, The tottering regime of Vorster faced with a storm of mass struggles at home has resorted to a new series of repressive measures designed to halt even the minimal critism of it. On October 19, the Black daily newspaper The World was shut down and its editor was arrested. The white editor of The Dispatch Was banned from political activity for five years. Some 19 political organizations were banned completely including those associated with the Black Consciousness Movement (whose leader Steven Biko was murdered in his jail cell by the authorities of the racist regime). In the first days of this new repression more than 200 people were arrested and thrown in prisons, hundreds of others were subjected to house These investments cover a wide spectrum of South African economy with primary concentration in the most important sectors; automanufacturing, metal mining and extraction and petoleum refining. The profits on these investments average 20 percent or about 2.5 times the average return on investments in the U.S. And it is no wonder that IBM has designed , i ; arrest and-complete restriction - system which stores all the the symbol of information for the pass laws apartheid. Standard Oil and Texaco have announced a joint plan to spend $1 34 million on a new refinery. Kennecott Copper is spending $300 million for new titanium mines. The U.S. banks have loaned $800 million to South Africa last year. And the U.S. trade with South Africa accounts for 45 percent of the total U.S. trade with all of Africa. The U.S.-aparteid relations are more pervasive than what the figures indicate. One can look at the - relations between the universities and apartheid by taking the example of Stanford. Officials at Stanford University estimate their institution would lose several million dollars a year if it divested itself of investments in companies doing business with South Africa. Stanford reported that it now owns securities in 59 U.S. companies active in South Africa. Its investments in those companies are valued at $125 of their political rights. In “the last year, 400,000 Azanians have been held Tor violating the pass laws which restrict the movement of Blacks in urban areas. Some 2500 have been-detained under the notorious Terrorism Act, Internal Security AcL and Riotous Assemblies Act.

If Stanford’s investments were limited to firms not doing business in South Africa, the study said, the university’s investment managers could not maintain their record of higher-than-average return.

Left to right Sub Board Board of Directors discuss Dennis Black, Jeff Lessoff, Mitch Zoler, Bill Finklestein. Sub Board votes not to publish salaries The Sub Board 1 Board of Directors voted last Thursday night not to include an itemized list of the salaries of ten non-student employees in the soon to be published Sub Board Budget Summary. An emotional appeal by Executive Director of the Board, Tom Van Nortwick, supporting the move not to include the salaries resulted in a 3-0-2 vote against their being printed. Two Board members were not present for the vote. During the debate, Van Nortwick charged that divulging non-student salaries would be “damaging” to Sub Board. If published, he claimed that employees, such as himself, would be “insulted.” He stated that a possible result would be “employees leaving at 4;30, rather than staying to help.” He termed the printing of salaries “unrealistic” and "idealistic,” and added that he saw “no benefits to be gained by this action.” Graduate Student Association’s (GSA) representative to the Board, Michael Sartisky, who porposed the motion to publish salaries, was unable to attend the meeting, but was outraged at the vote. “It (the printing of the salaries! was a unanimous decision at the last meeting,” he charged. He crisply stated that the decision was “typical of the cavalier attitude of Sub Board,” and vowed to bring up the motion again “at the next meeting, if not sooner.” Would not understand Sartisky called the decision “ihe withholding of what should be At the meeting. Sub Board Chairman Mitch Zoler denied that the Board was withholding anything, but refused to define the Board’s motives in not publishing the salaries. Vice President of Sub Board, Jeff Lessoff expressed his belief that ‘'students were better off not knowing the salaries because they would not understand them. They’re hard to understand,” he claimed. “When I first saw what Van Nortwick made, I was really mad, but now that I know how much he does, I see why.” Views on the purpose of publishing the Budget vary Sub Board Treasurer Dennis Black stated that the printing was to show the student how his money was spent on activities. “We want him to see that, sure he pays one dollar on the movies, but it still costs us another 75 cents to a dollar per person, per movie,” said Black. Sartisky reaffirmed that it was his and GSA’s intent to show students “exactly where money goes, including salaries.” When published, it will mark the first time Sub Board’s budget has been reported in any publication. Though this is the Budget’s premier printing, the Budget is a matter of public record, and according to Black, copies are and will continue to be available in Sub Board's offices in Talbert Hall on the Amherst Campus.

Levine Spectrum switched to the And by Joel Mayersohn Staff Writer Spectrum Disgust, annoyance and the concern of being ripped-off by big time concert promoters ran through the minds of Buffalo’s music fans last Thursday night and Friday morning, due to a shift in the Billy Joel concert location from the Century Theatre to Buffalo’s music dungeon, the “Aud.” Joel, whose best performances have been heard in small and intimate halls, has disappointed many fans with the move. However, Billy Joel fans should not give up hope. A spokesman for Harvey and Corky Productions, Phil Rosen, commented, “We are very concerned with the treatment of our customers.” Harvey and Corky are attempting to transform the Aud into a better building for music by improving sight lines and using special sound devices. The promoters, in conjunction with Joel’s sound engineers, have decided to curtain off the Aud behind the stage spanning the Aud’s width. According to Rosen, this system, known-as a Concert Bowl, will throw the sound out front, reducing many of the auditory deficiencies of the building. Flying speakers “There will not be a bad seat iq the house,” Rosen commented The speakers, which are normally on stage will be “flown" above the floor in a special arrangement. Rosen said This will enable every spectator a good view of the stage Students who are concerned with ticket exchange need not worry. All tickets purchased at the Squire Ticket Office will either be exchanged or refunded beginning Monday. UUAB spokesman Steve Pena said, “Although the seat switch will not be exact we are doing our best to correspond seats. Pena added that “a front row seat in the Century will be a front row seat in the Aud." Students won’t have to spend long hours on line to exchange their tickets. “The exchange will take place up to the day of the concert," said Pena. Pena however, was concerned that the late concert date change from November 30 to the 29 would inconvenience many students. Pena said “Refunds will be issued this Monday and Tuesday." UUAB muddle resolved The controversy concerning the preferential seals given to UUAB employees has also been resolved by the change in locations “The special seats, commented Pena, “will be exchanged for balcony seals .” This hopefully will appease those who spent long hours on line wailing to get a good seat. An advantage ol the change is that more people will gel to witness the dynamic performance of Joel. “The And has been scaled to ‘>200 people while the Century could only accommodate 2600 fans,” commented Rosen. Rosen was also quick to point out that what might have been a balcony seat in the Century might be on the floor of the And MOVIE-SIZE TV Come see our giant Videobeam color TV It's lour by six feet and it's tree So taste one ol our delicious menu specialties, sip on your favorite drink and watch it all happen V > life-sized This week ALL MAJOR SPORTS EVENTS Open 5:00 pm Thanksgiving Day |l I | Staff Writer 10-15 million women throughout the United States use the birth control pill. About 40 percent of these women develop side effects which include high blood pressure, circulatory diseases and emotional depression. Due to the steady procession of alarming statistics on the dangers of the Pill, the Food and Drug (FDA) Administration now requires doctors and pharmacists to give women pamphlets and fact sheets describing the dangers of the drug with every prescription. Governmental studies have proven that users of the Pill have blood pressure than higher non-users. The Pill may also promote blood clots, a condition called thromboembolism. The Lancet, a leading British medical this journal, year concluded that in general, women on the Pill face a 40 percent higher death rate than non-users of the same age. Circulatory diseases caused most deaths in this study on British women. Pills used in Britain are comparable to the ones used in the United States. The British were the first to recommend that women switch to lower hormone dose pills. Clots possible Laura Rubin.

An educated client can then make hei own decision." Lower dosages asked Many women have mixed feelings about the l*ill One user for six years said, “I like the l*ill because you don’t have to carry it you around with convenient It can be a pain though when I forget to take it She stated that she had developed cervical erosion and spotting delween periods.

Norlutin and Provers, drugs prescribed mainly for irregularities in the menstrual cycle. Although it has been believed that progesterone will prevent miscarriages, there is an absence of supportive evidence. Therefore, progesterone (like estrogen) should be administered during not pregnancy due to an increased risk ol deformed arms and legs in the fetus.

Special to The Spectrum John MacKenzie, Supreme Court Reporter for the Washington Post Mackenzie speaks on high court reporting The United States Supreme Court seems to have a kind of inlaid fear of representatives of the press, according to John Mackenzie, former reporter for the Washington Post , who spoke in O’Brian Hall Monday. Mackenzie, who covered the high court for three years, said that the justices are worried about anything that might be printed in a newspaper because of a fear of misrepresentation The job of a reporter covering the Supreme Court has become difficult than during the 19th century, according <o Mackenzie The number of information leaks coming from the Court, coming from law clerks or the justices, has been reduced considerably compared to a century ago when it was quite easy for information to find its way out, stated Mackenzie. more Mackenzie praised the responsiveness of the Court to the needs of the press. He described how the press is capable of creating a “certain air” about a case, therefore having a slight influence on the outcome “However, with good reporting, the influence of the press on any one case is difficult to pinpoint,” said Mackenzie Some background Mackenzie said that many newspapers are employing legal council to advise them on what and what not to print when covering court proceedings, in order to avoid misrepresentations. Before covering any story, a reporter must have some background on the subject about which he is reporting, Mackenzie explained. The Supreme Court has been making decisions on a greater number of cases Mackenzie cited the trend of states to petition more cases to the Court for its decision, with Pennsylvania and California leading the charge He stated this has led to the belief that the Court is spending too much time deciding whether or not to hear a case, rather than ruling on any case that comes before it Mackenzie commented on the Consumer Agency Bill now before the Court, stating that the chances of it passing soon are dwindling. “It will probably need to be submitted again in a different form," he claimed. Don Hartels Sharing values Alpha Sigma Alpha: expanding sorority A new addition to something very old has recently appeared at this University. This something is the Delta Tau chapter of Alpha Sigma Alpha. The group is now a small colony venturing forth on an unexplored frontier. Delta Tau is in the process of expanding membership and hopefully will soon be a strong, nourishing extension of a national sorority Alpha Sigma Alpha was founded in 1901 by five young women at Longwood College in Virginia They Farmville, envisioned the sorority as a cultivation of the art of one living ni harmony with other people Today, its members practice the ideal of sharing values and activities between themselves and the community. College provides the opportunity for an education and life-long friendships. Alpha Sigma Alpha is a motivating force behind these objectives. The collegiate sorority chapter can be compared to a family; a unit living and working together towards a common goal. Although the group is the important facet, the individual does not lose her identity. She develops her own abilities while participating with others and contributing to the sororoty campus and community As their National Philanthropic Program, Alpha Sigma Alpha has chosen to aid the mentally retarded Chapter members volunteer then services at local institutions for retarded. The the sorority “Thank you, Lord, for our good health and for this good food.” The room echoed with “atnen’s”, lips were licked, and the feast began. Large platters of turkey and dressing circled the table. Sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, and baked potatoes still in their skins. Two kinds of cranberry sauce. There were even creamed onions, delicious delicacies that we had only once a year. We piled our plates high and the Thanksgiving celebration was on. Everyone, or at least the men in my family, would eat for hours. There was, in fact, an annual competition among the grown-ups. Overweight cousin Georgie was always in the running because he had been over-eating ever since he was born. Cousin Ereddie, also older than me, was a fierce competitor too, though he had trouble matching his father, my uncle Fred While the turkey was silent, these men gobbled away. Hach would try to out-eat the others with the winner consuming more than anyone dreamed possible: usually the equivalent of three or four normal meals. It was and it wasn’t easy to eat that much. They stuffed themselves. And then they would have additional helpings. Soon the naked rib case of the tureky would be the only thing left on ‘he table. Year after year, my father managed to walk away with top honors. The family marveled over his “hollow leg.” After all, how else could a man so skinny eat so much?

Page seven �EDITORIAL 4 Sadat Shalom That President Anwar el-Sadat of Egypt is currently paying a visit Israeli Prime Minister Menahem Begin, the leader of a country that has met Egypt in war four times in the last 29 years, has been very well described in the world press as astounding. The pomp and circumstance surrounding the event, especially the circumstance(s), are truly dizzying, from the playing of the Egyptian National Anthem by an Isareli military band to the flying of miniature Egyptian flags by taxi you" drivers in Jerusalem to Sadat greeting Begin by saying, 'Thank and Begin responding, "It's wonderful to have you." to The presence of an Arab leader on Israeli soil should not detract with possible false hope from the reality of Arab-lsraeli relations, at best antagonistic and at worst openly aggressive. The reaction of Arab K ing Hasaan of Morocco has endorsed his leaders to Sadat's visit move, but all others except the rulers of Omen and the Sudan have more accurately reflects the nature of those publicly condemned it relations than does the visit itself. - — Speculation about a just Middle East peace solution stemming from this historic visit can be, at best, totally unfounded, since no agenda for discussion has been released to the press or even mentioned by either leader, a highly unusual procedure where diplomatic talks are concerned. Sadat will address the Israeli parliament and wit! speak with Begin privately and has already made the usual tourist trip of the Old City of Jerusalem, but just what substance will fill the space of those talks, and which side will walk away more satisfied, if satisfied at all, is unknown. The Palestinians are not the main obstacle to peace, as the New York Times would have it, but are the people who, as a group, will continue to suffer the most if a peace settlement is not reached. They are, in any case, the crucial point around which most Middle East discussion has been revolving for a long time. President Carter has mentioned the possibility of establishing a Palestinian homeland on the occupied West Bank of the Jordan River, Israel seized during the Six Day V\ar in 1967 and which land which Begin considers his by biblical right. Begin has, in fact, refused to discuss the possibility of that homeland, or the representation of Palestinians in the peace talks in Geneva, both of which he considers concessions to the Arabs. These decisions are two, though not the only two, real obstacles to peace. The Palestinians, Syrians and Libyans have condemned Sadat's visit, calling it a betrayal of the Palestinian people, because it implicitly acknowledges Israel’s existence as a nation, a fact that most Arab countries have diplomatically refused to recognize. Vet, if the Palestinian, Syrian and Libyan leaders are sincerely interested in peace in the Middle East, they must recognize that the psychological atmosphere of the attempted peace talks and thus the circumstances that could lead to major concessions on both sides have changed. At this point, any change in the diplomatic structure of the entire Middle East situation, even at the risk of fragmenting the unity of the Arab world (which has never been as stable as the name implies) is welcome. Sadat's visit to Israel, therefore, should be welcomed but any predicted outcome of it should be taken with a grain of salt. * * * * � As a shopkeeper in the open air market section of Old Cairo said "If Sadat's trip means a true peace, then it is worth it."

Also the author seems to be influenced by the notion that education is something sacrosanct, and hence, the presence of a commercial establishment would pollute this sanctity. This is a myth, especially in a world where the education is mroe and more seen as a financial investment. In terms of the financial aspect, Miss Rudner has a grand design of a faculty-student run, non-profit mall with solar power heating. I am sure that the institutions which are the basis of this society. She also exalts the virtues of such a design by saying that it would provide on-the-job training to the students. If this were to be more expensive, which it is likely to be, I would once again say, sorry I can’t pay for it. Also, the commercial organizations on campus would be more than glad to hire and provide on-the-job training at the minimum wages. Jaswant R exilo^n by Jay Rosen Alright, what do we, the students of this alleged University, have to be thankful for? We should be thankful that somebody discovered the color yellow, and thus brought forth school buses, so that we, the students, would not have to walk between three campuses. Thanks. We should be thankful to that all-knowing governmental patriarch, the State of New York, for not buying the Ridge Lea Campus with less than the money it shelled out in rent (and thus moving out of the facility starting this year) so that we, the students, would no longer have to endure emotional agony of referring to those warm, comforting buildings by such cold and impersonal names as “Fourty-two Fourty,” because it really broke our hearts to do so. Thanks. We should be thankful to the very same State of New York for, as part of its concern for the health of its students, providing us with wholly inadequate physical education facilities so that we, the students, would not have to run the risk of falling victim to the inconquerable and usually terminal deseases of athlete’s foot and jock itch. Thanks. We should be thankful to the garbage men of New York City who graciously accepted a king’s ransom each year to pick up refuse and thus drained that fair City’s financial resources and caused a panic that nearly led to the pecuniary collapse of the state that answers to the same name and did in fact, lead to the halting of construction on our Amherst Campus, so that we, the students would not have our scrabble games interrupted by the disconcerting roar of dump trucks and earth movers that, were it not for those garbage men, would be building a campus that was supposed to be finished long ago. So, to you, humble New York City Sanitation Engineers Thanks. We should be thankful for that glacier that relieved itself in the shallow waters of the Atlantic Ocean thus creating-Long Island and providing us, the students, with 90 percent of our ranks, or seemingly so. Thanks. We should be thankful for Moses and his partner upstairs for exactly the same Jam reason. Thanks. We should be thankful for last year’s ID committee for giving birth to a horse that The Spectrum could subsequently beat to death so that we, the students, would have something to read other than Plato. Thanks. We should be thankful for the planners of the Amherst tampus who are building us a 10,000 seat field house (before a gymnasium that we need only desperately) so that even more of us, the students, can attend our Division 111 basketball team’s home games cleverly disguised as empty seats. Thanks. We should be thankful for those same planners who appeared, it seems, at numerous planning sessions cleverly disguised as empty seats. Thanks. We should be thankful, now that I think about it, to the parents of those New York City garbage men for creating such gracious souls who accepted a king's ransom and so on . . . Thanks. We should be thankful for the very same planners of the Amherst Campus who did not provide us with any lecture halls so that we, the students, could be entertained by others of our fate swinging from the rafters while trying to take notes thus in the overcrowded lecture halls that do exist relieving us from the boredom of listening to professors who really have no interest in teaching us anyway, but would just like to see their theories in the Journal of You Name It, and thus be a success Thanks. We should thank Carl Cavage for filing suit against the University over the Recrod Co-op so that we, the students, can satisfy our lust for adventure by gambling huge amounts of not-so-hard earned money on games of Guess When the Co-op’s Gonna Be Open and also so that we, the students, could be provided an easy and effective method losing weight since we must do so to be able to walk through the aisles of said Co-op. Thanks. We should be thankful for our senses of humor, which allow us, the students, to laugh at the little inconviences and minor deficiencies of this alleged University. Thanks. Incidentally, Happy Thanksgiving from the Exile. �FEEDBACK Protest U.S. —Iranian ties To the Editor. The steering committee of the Western New York Peace Center sent President Carter the following telegram on November 17. Dear President Carter We are particularly offended by your actions on Tuesday night (Nov. 15) which made a mockery of the protests of Iranian human rights activists. We completely reject the assumption that America has an “unshakeable military alliance” with Iran. We condemn the gross violations of human rights in Iran and the imprisonment of thousands of political prisoners by the Shah’s brutal regime. We protest the SAVAK, inside and outside of Iran. We also protest continuing U.S. support for the Shah’s dictatorship. Stifled As an expression of our commitment to human rights everywhere, the Center’s steering committee also resolved to send letters to Rep. Jack Kemp and to Soviet Leader Leonid Brezhnev. We will call upon Rep, Kemp to join his congressional colleagues in condemning the South African apartheid and the recent repressive acts that the White-minority Vorster government has earned out.

Indeed, the KMT has resorted to this. Fver since Nixon’s visit to the People’s Republic of China in 1971 when he signed the Shanghai Commmique, and Taiwan’s expulsion from the U N , Americans and overseas Chinese in the U.S. have learned of the tremendous accomplishments of the letters Chinese revolution and efforts to build socialism. They’ve been putting the lie to the KMT’s picture to “tyranny under Mao” and rendering ludicrous its claim to represent all the Chinese people both in Taiwan and on the mainland. With the ever-approaching possibility of the U.S, pulling out and the reunification of Taiwan with the People’s Republic, Taiwanese businessmen and their KMT ties are both going all out to block heading for the U.S. or 1-urope for long-range safety. In an article in the August 8th The Village Voice entitled “Nationalist Chinese Agents Are Taking Over Chinatown,” the authors stated, “The KMT is currently making a desperate play to dominate, as never before, both the economic and political life of New York City’s Chinatown. Since the early ’70s, the Nationalists have poured millions of dollars into this Lower Fast Side Community. They have set up KMT banks, sponsored KMT newspapers, supplied capital to KMT import-export companies. They have organized KMT political goon-squads to disrupt any activity deemed “leftist” and opposed to their interests.” This, a whole new situation in Chinatowns and on college campuses has developed The intimidation tactics of the KMT of the last few years must be seen in this light as a desperate attempt to salvage its special interests as the world turns its back on “Nationalist China New York City’s Chinatown is a good example. Formerly, the Chinatown area was ruled unofficially by the family organizations. But now, there is a between several groups: these strong rivalry long-time leaders, the KMT, the millionaires of Taiwan, and the Ghost Shadows (the top youth gang in New York’s Chinatown). The New York Chinatown gangs have been terrorizing merchants by trying to get them to pay for protection by a certain security agency. C onsequently, there have been many shootings and beatings due to people fighting against this. The agency has been using the gangs (the very people they’re supposed to be protecting against) to extort large amounts of money and power from these people. In one instance, the Ghost Shadows gang even robbed a store on two consecutive Sundays to get the owner to sign. The first shop to display the slicker claiming protection is well known for being the gangs hideout and it is also half owned by the normalization and are - ” KMT The KMT is directly involved in this. It was the consul general of Taiwan, Konsm Shah, who suggested this operation of “protection.” And the man put in charge of the Chinatown section in the is closely linked to the Taiwanese agency government. The KMT used to only have agents working in the U.S., but now are taking matters into their own hands. They’ve organized their own goon-squad to do their dirty work. The same article in The Village Voice reported, “The Ju-Kwang, a Chinatown version of Chiang Kai-shek’s omnipresent political police, was founded at a party at the Peking Park Ostensibly a Restaurant on hast 41st St. in 1974 . fraternal group, the Ju-Kwang consists of about 20 Taiwanese army-trained toughs, (so well trained, the tongs often threatened the youth gangs with Ju-Kwang intervention to settle disputes) whose first major task was to spy on Chinese students in the none indulged in metropolitan area, ensuring business “leftist” activity. While attempting this task, during Columbia University last summer eight Ju-K wangs were arrested by New York cops for fighting with students. The Ju-Kwangs were released in the custody of KMT Deputy Consul-General Chang Shih-Cheng.” There have been many other instances of spying reported at other universities such as Cornell, MIT, Berkeley, University of Florida and the University of Minnesota. What is the history of this situation and why is the KMT so desperate? The situation of the KMT in Taiwan came from the civil war in China after the Japanese invasion was defeated in the 1940s. As Mao Tse-tung’s Red Army consolidated its victory in Northern China, Chiang Kai-shek’s KMT forces fled the mainland to the island province of Taiwan (Taiwan has been a province of China since the 1800s.) As tension in Korea mounted in 1950 the U.S intervened in the Chinese civil war, backing the Chiang regime to isolate the People’s Republic, and make Taiwan, in General MacArthur’s words, America’s “unsmkable aircraft carrier” in the Pacific. Despite a U.S.-imposed economic blockade, the People’s Republic of China has developed itself, and the KMT’s only claim to life has come from its U.S. backing. The vast majority of nations now recognize the People’s Republic as the sole legitimate government, and only the U.S., Israel, South Africa, and a handful of South American and other countires back Taiwan (the Republic of China). When Nixon visited China in 1972 he signed the Shanghai Communique. This document recognized that “all Chinese on either side of the Taiwan Strait maintain that there is but one China and that Taiwan is part of China. The United States government does not challenge that position,” and affirmed the “ultimate objective of the withdrawal of all U.S forces and military installations from Taiwan.” But instead of implementing the spirit of this agreement, the U.S. has actually expanded activities with Taiwan The U S. keeps the Taiwan government going in many ways. It has troops stationed there, sells arms and war ships cheap to them, trades substantially, and American businesses have numerous investments there And since the Shanghai Communique, the investments and trade have grown, and five new consulates in Atlanta, Portland, Kansas City, Guam, and American Samoa have opened up Taiwan has more consulates in the U.S than any other foreign jobs.

One important result will be a further relaxation of tension in Asia, reducing the danger of military conflict international and contributing to a world situation in which any one country cannot dominate others or maintain spheres of influence There are also many economic, cultural, and educational benefits for the American and Chinese people The Americans would benefit by increased commerce, increased cultural exchanges and more American visits to the People’s Republic.

CPR consists of mouth-to-mouth breathing and compressions, chest Mouth-to-mouth breathing puts oxygen into the lubgs. The chest compressions pump the blood to the lungs where the blood picks up the oxygen. All body tissues require oxygen, and the brain suffers irreversible brain damage if it is totally deprived of oxygen for four to six minutes. Chest compressions squeeze the heart between the sternum and the backbone, forcing blood out of the heart to the body. Thirty percent of the normal blood flow is produced by chest compressions.

The contest was a typical UB-Oswego affair from start to finish as battling until the both clubs came out charging and did not winning goal was scored in the game’s sixty-fourth minute of play. Buffalo put early pressure on Laker goalie Mike ShevUn but Oswego still managed to score the game’s first goal on a power play. Rob Graf deflected home Chip Wallace’s low shot from the point at 8:01 to give Oswego a 1 0 lead. The Bulls tied the score just 15 seconds later as Anzalone took a pass from Rich MacLean, skated — The UB Bulls varsity basketball tea for the season opener with a scrimmage in Clark Hall —Jenson Basketball Heavy schedule and strong lineup start the new season away,” said Richardson by Ron Baron Assistant Sports Editor Devaux back The men’s basketball team opens its season Tuesday, November 29 against St Francis College (of Pennsylvania) at Clark Hall, hoping to improve on their dismal 5-21 record of last year. Coach Leo Richardson’s squad will be facing the same obstacle that plagued them last year an impossible - schedule though Buffalo has dropped to Division contractual agreements dictate that the Bulls play 16 Division 1 schools this year, including such eastern collegiate powers as Syracuse, Detroit, Central Michigan and Temple. Richardson, who has only six players returning from last year’s squad, plans to start five seniors in the hopes that they will provide needed experience to the Bulls’ lineup Even III, prior Buffalo will rely heavily on Center Sam Pellom rebounding and aggressive defense. liJIom, who led the nation in rebounding two years ago, is the key to the Bulls’ success After an average last year, Pellom hopes to return to his form of two years ago and dominate the offensive and defensive boards lor consistent Versatile igniter Ed Johnson, former star at Bennett High School and a transfer-from Albany State, will quarterback the-offense.

Forward Larry Jones will be expected to lead the scoring punch. After sitting out part of last he should season while recovering from knee be back in full form. “Larry has the most desire to succeed on this team. With Jones out of the line-up last season, one third of our oftense was taken Another part-time starter last year, Lloyd Devaux, will be used in a starting rule this year. “I’d rather use Lloyd as our sixth man, because he’s very effective off the bench. But the young team that we are, we’ll need his experience in the starting lineup,” noted Richardson. The former Niagara Community College forward possesses a good shot and displays aggressive offensive and defensive play. The Bulls’ bench consists of one junior returnee, Fred Brookins, three transfers and eight freshmen. is Although very young the bench and Richardson it will develop. inexperienced, hopes “They may not be able to help us right away, but in time they’ll gain experience,” stated Richardson This year’s sixth man role will be delegated to sophomore Nate Bouie. Borne, who transferred from Brockport State, is the cousin of Syracuse ace Roosevelt Bouie. “Nate will have to get used to this level of basketball competition,” said Richardson. Bouie is an excellent rebounder and plays aggressive defense. Three reserves will play key roles in UB’s game plans. They include freshman Rodney McDaniel (a guard), Bruce Bonaparte (a forward), and junior George Mendenhall. Both McDaniel and Bonaparte hail from the Bronx and Mendenhall transferred from Housatomc-Community College in Bridgeport, Connecticut. “They’ll help us immediately, but they’re young and need to gain valuable experience,” noted Richardson.

Oswego was provided with another opportunity to score when the officials awarded the Lakers a penalty shot after a Buffalo player used his hands to cover up the puck in the crease. Ray Seeback’s attempt was smothered by the Bulls’ goalie Bill Kaminska. “I wanted to make the shooter make the first move,” said the young netminder, who turned away 41 Oswego shots. Oswego scored another power play goal just 15 seconds after the penalty shot was taken. Again, it was Graf who provided Oswego with the one goal advantage. And again, the Bulls retaliated, with not one, but three goals, in less than five minutes. The quick-skating line of Chns Bonn, Anzalone, and Bnen Grow was involved in all three goals. Grow stored two goals within 21 seconds to give Buffalo a 3 —2 lead after 12:47. Then Bonn scored at 17 16 and the period ended with the Bulls out in front 4-2. Lakers come back The Great Lakers wasted little time in coming back as they scored the first goal of the second period at the 2:52 mark. Greg Wittman took a pass from Kevin Hlynn and beat Kaminska with a quick wrist shot to the goalie’s gloveside to cut the margin to 4 -3. Both teams kept on plugging away but could not score as Kaminska and Shevlm both made some excellent saves. Then, at 8:34, Buffalo’s Tom Wilde picked up a loose puck at center ice. Wilde then skated past the two Oswego defensemen and sent a high backhand-shot into the upper left comer of the net. At that point, the Bulls led 5 3. The Buffalo forwards kept on forechecking and the defense kept the puck in the Oswego end of the rink; their combined efforts resulted Buffalo score. Danny Gemmer’s shot was blocked by in another Shevlm who could not maintain control of the puck. Bonn picked up the rebound and sent a quick shot into the Oswego goal. The Lakers came right back down the ice and sent three shots at Kaminska who managed to stop the attempts. Oswego played the last 3 57 of the period with a one-man advantage as Grow was given a two-minute penalty for tripping and then another two-minute penalty for delay of game when he contested the call Bui the Bulls’ penalty killers did an outstanding job as the Lakers got only four shots at the net and Kaminska stopped them all. “It was a team effort,” said Anzalone. “The defense played well, they cleared away the rebounds and blocked quite a few shots,” added — Kaminska Oswego didn't give up and responded with three third period goals while holding Buffalo scoreless “We blew the third period,” noted Anzalone Greg Preston beat Kaminska to the stick side to cut the UB lead to 6 4 at 4: 1 0 The Bulls pressured Shevlin with 18 shots in the period, but he came up with big saves on Bonn, Anzalone, and Keith Sawyer to keep Buffalo from scoring. The Bulls found themselves with a two-man disadvantage after penalties to Ed Patterson and Mike Caruana. The Lakers responded with a flurry of shots, and Bob Olsen’s blast went over the right shoulder of Kaminska to put Oswego only one point behind the Bulls. Buffalo had difficulty moving the puck out of their own end and the hardworking Oswego team capitalized by tying the score at IS: 54. Graf passed the puck out to John Silver who sent a heavy blast into the Buffalo net setting the stage for AnzaloneV overtime goal With Silver in the penalty box serving a too-many-men-on-the-ice penalty, Buffalo’s power play went to work. Carl Koeppel sent a rink wide pass to fellow defenseman Rick MacLean. MacLean passed to Anzalone who took the quick low shot that beat Shevlin and Oswego at 4:57 of overtime. If was MacLean’s third assist of the game First star Anzalone “The goal was scored on a broken play,” explained Anzalone. was covered so I decided to take the slap shot and it went in. Everything worked. The feeling after scoring the goal is just unbelievable.” Anzalone was given the game’s first star award. ‘Tin just happy that the team won, it was a real team effort The fans were great, they kept us going,” he added. Assistant coach Ben Madonia agreed, “We had 10) percent team effort tonight 1 used 19 players and they all gave me a great effort Mead coach Id Wright had to mtss the game and Madonia took over the job of directing the team in his absence. Madonia felt that the team played well except for a few mental lapses in the third period “These lapses accounted for their (Oswego’s) goals,” he noted. “If we had converted some chances, we could have had eight or nine goals.” According to rookie goalie Kaminska, the game’s second star, “It’s really great to get that first win under our belts He noted that the defense of MacLean, Koeppel, Caruana, Gemmer and freshman Jeff I ddy was a big factor in helping him register his first victory as a collegian “The defense played really well, they took a lot of pressure off me,” he said.

The women's division of the race was won by The — Spectrum's own Paulette Buraczenski (sixth from left). Turkey Trot Championships The thrill ofa 21 lb. victory by Paulette Buraczenski out my strategy so I could live up to all the boasting 1 had done at the dorms. I never ran a race longer than a half mile and even that was a joke. A two and a half mde race was something out of my realm even though I could trot five miles if I wanted to. Uncertainty, hope, and an awful nervous stomach accompanied me for the three days before the race. plotting Campus Editor When Sports Editor Joy Clark came to my desk last Monday and begged me to enter the Turkey Trot and write about the results, I the assignment and accepted envisioned writing a long, funny expose on losing the race. I was already admitting defeat, and even though I do run a bit, I haven’t actually competed since my glorious high school days as a State record holder. I even had the first lines of my expose about losing mentally written and edited in my head. Yet, I knew that the female competition would be less than stiff and that I might have a chance. Looking at my two gold medals late that night, visions of turkeys danced in my head. 1 grew more and more confident and infinitely more nervous as the days wore on. Nothing would please me more than cooking a really big turkey dinner for all Ellicott, and I stopped running. best way this event my strength for the hope that I would be up with the fastest pass her in the end. 1 did. I figured the was to save big day and able to keep woman and I started at the front of the pack with all the men who were really serious and waited for the first woman to pass me, and sure enough she did Barbara Mancini, of cross-country ski fame, passed me and I tailed her, keeping about 100 yards between us during the entire race. My Jungs were pounding, and my side ached with a cramp even had I though up warmed extensively the before race. Barbara was still ahead of me and was I beginning to lose confidence. But, at the end of the second lap of the three lap race around the campus, 1 decided it was time to narrow the distance between us. For the first time, Barbara looked back and noticed me and I worried because 1 was sure she was going to sprint out the last lap and really make me look like a fool. my friends at everyone was spurring me on and hoping that Td win. When I finally made it to Clark Halt to register for the annual event, I counted the number of women who had entered as individuals, my competition. To my relief, only five had entered at that the time, even though number of women’s teams was steadily increasing. But I didn’t have to worry about them, because the winner of each category wins a turkey. Only five to worry about . . so far . . .

As 1 approached the finish line after passing Barbara, I was filled with self-doubt, and was sure that there was some woman ahead of both Barbara and I that neither of us noticed. to But, my astonishment, the time keeper yelled out, "You’re the first one!” The first words out of my mouth after 1 crossed the finish line and collapsed against my “personal photographer,” were, “I just can’t believe it!” And 1 still can’t. I thought for a while that it would look really bad for The Spectrum that one of their own editors had won, but that notion left my mind as I marched up to The Specrtum office with my 2 1-pound turkey and my “personal coach” and “personal photographer” on each arm. I was smiling, tired, but excited enough last of the that were taken before and after the race. to pose for Rocky-type the pictures Turkey triumphants It was fun, to say the least, and while waiting for the Director of Recreation and Intramurals, Bill Monkarsh, to tally the results, 1 spoke with a few of the other turkey triumphants. George Babikian, a member of the Med School team, emerged as the overall winner, having run the course in 8;33. George, who had Hockey '• The cross country squad wrapped up its season with a pair of tenth place finishes in the New York State and 1.C.4A. Championship races. The Bulls were left with a meet record of 6—10, but the future holds promise for the young team. On Saturday, November 5, the Bulls competed in the New York State Championships ai the University of Rochester’s 5.13-mile course at the Genesee Valley Park. John Ryerson led the charges with the 22nd place, 27:10 performance. Mike Fischer was 45th in 27:43 and he was followed by Tim Sheehan (60th) in 28:01, Gene Schwall (69th) in 28:21 and Tony Markut (70th) in 28:22 to round out the scoring. Greg Freitag (83rd) in 28:45 and Tom Pitchford (99th) in 29:53 were the sixth and seventh men, respectively. The scoring left the Bulls with 266 points, only six points behind ninth place. The tenth place performance is noteworthy, since the Bulls were predicted to finish 13th. The harriers were also running without the services of Brian Goldberg and Barney Schinter, usually the second and fourth men. hurt himself the day before the playing basketball, has the capability of running a mile in 4:10. Mis time in the race surprised me and we both concluded that the course was somewhat less than the announced 2'h miles, “it was about 1.8 miles,” he said. race Bryan Mosgrober, a native Buffalonian, won a turkey in the men’s individual category, and finished with a time of 8:39. Bryan, who ran track and cross country in high school, says he’s going to give his turkey to his mother to cook up. When I asked why he entered the trot, Bryan replied, “Just to see if 1 was in The Bulls traveled to Van Cortlandt Park in New York City for the 69th Annual I.C.A.A A.A. Cross Country Championships on Monday, November 14. The Bulls scored 282 points and managed to outrun LeMoyne (11th) and St. Bonaventure (14th) teams which had defeated the Bulls in dual meets earlier this season. It was a fitting finish to a cross country season for Ryerson as he finished 20th in 26:45 for the five-mile race. John was plagued by an injury this summer which hampered his training and he really came on strong towards the end of the season. The rest of the Bulls scoring came from Schwall (54th; 27:38), Tony Markut (62nd; 27:50), Sheehan (70th; 28:06), and Freitag (75th; 28:17). Goldberg was 97th in 28:52 and ace Fischer fell and was unable to finish. Gantz satisfied In retrospect, it appears that the Bulls did not have a very successful season, but coach Waller Gant/, was pleased with his team’s performance. “Given the injuries and illnesses and the fact that most of the squad were freshmen, I am satisfied,” he said. “We had a losing record, though, and 1 can never be fully satisfied with that Gant/, noted that the Bulls will be losing only one runner (John Ryerson) and thus should be a better team next year. “All our runners improved on their times throughout the courses of the season, and that shows growth,” he commented. “We grew as runners, and that will be reflected in next year’s performances.” Although! cross country season is over now, the Buffalo harriers are looking forward to the indoor and outdoor track seasons. The team is hoping to repeat their Big Four Championship of a year ago. If there is anyone interested in competing in either track or field, please contact coach Gantz at 636-2141, or attend the meeting soon to be announced. ” CPR —continued . froi within our body structure. We don’t need external means to make a heart pump or to restore breathing,” stated Mann. “Hospitals are within a five or ten minute ride, but a sudden illness such as a heart attack requires immediate care,” she continued. “With the right type of instruction and practicing of skills, we can do almost anything in immediate care for a victim.” According to an American Red Cross spokesman, several businesses have begun CPR training programs for their employees. Manufacturing firms as well as health spas have requested training. Red Cross CPR certification is also useful for traditional summer job seekers such as camp counselors.

To illustrate her case, she related the story ol a 13-year-old, 78-pound who girl received CPR certification last summer The girl’s father had a history of heart attacks and she wanted the training. Mann recalled that many were dubious of her light weight, but she was able to master CPR because of the special body mechanics involved. “She has one of the best tapes,” commented Mann. CPR training is just one of the subjects covered in the Advanced First Aid and Emergency Care course. This is the first semester the course has been offered here. Standard First Aid has been available for many years. “The students I have been in contact with have really had a genuine interest in what they are doing,” Mann stated. “Some have viewed accidents or sudden illnesses in the dorms and were unable to help. They have signed up for the course to help others,” she added. / �■gg CLASSIFIED ADINFORMATION MAY AUS BE office in The 8:30 GARAGE MUST be paid In advance, place the ad in person, or send a L it Me legible copy of ad with a check or money order for full payment.

Krupsak spoke without a prepared text on the significance Women’s National of the Conference being held this week in Houston, Texas. Women are working today, she said, to bring about change; they “no longer have a prescribed route to get where they want to go.” Krupsak called for the need to make the public more aware in order to “fulfill our dream” of equality, concluding her address to the group simply, saying “Let’s get on with our work.” This brought a standing ovation from the audience. The seminar was opened at 10 a.m. by Susan Carrell, Vice Continuing for President UB Alumni Education, Association. “We arc here today to promote change in ourselves,” she said. Phyllis Kelly, President of the UB Alumni Association spoke of the need to greater Utilize women’s talent. The series - examine women’s talent.

She declared that women must be willing to take a chance as she did when she quit a banking job in order to obtain a master’s degree. As a stockbroker she deals mainly with men who often question her ability because she is a woman, requiring that she prove herself. Career corps The first series of workshops dealt with problems in everyday living. “The Career Woman” was moderated by the President of the Interclub Council of Western New York, Sandra Kay, who told the audience that the best way to learn about what’s happening with women in society is by getting in community involved organizations. Betty Kaiser, Registered Nurse Need good men More “enlightened men” are to according needed, Jane Dickman, a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). She credits her success to two such men who gave her the opportunity to become active in a field once considered for men only.

One of the that is myths that surround nursing is “although slowly that people generally associate changing.” Only 14 percent of nurses only with hospitals, yet in bank officers are female, she recent years they have been noted.

Seven city polipemen tied to Long coverup Seven Buffalo police officers, who have testified before the special grand jury looking into the June 2Sth murder of Richard Long, have been linked to the alleged coverup that occurred the night of the murder, sources have indicated. The seven officers, Joseph Riga, Robert Grisanti, Leonard Socha, Peter Brunetto, Charles Williams, Robert Chella and Lawrence Pierce, have all been previously identified as those whose testimony before the grand jury the city had sought to have released to the Police Department for departmental hearings. On Wednesday, the Courier-Express reported that the seven officers suspected of being involved in the alleged coverup all worked out of Precinct 5 or Precinct 6. Calls to each precinct by The Spectrum revealed that each officer previously named in connection with the grand jury testimony, was also assigned to Precinct 5 or Precinct 6. Police request testimony The Spectrum has learned that the testimony is being sought by the office of the Corporation Counsel to determine if the officers were actually involved in the alleged coverup of the Long murder. Assistant Corporation Counsel, Margaret Anderson, confirmed that the testimony was being sought to determine “if a coverup occurred and if so, who was involved.” She added that the Police Commissioner’s Office had requested her to obtain the testimony to aid in the police departmental investigation of certain officers’ actions the night of the murder. The fate of the testimony has not yet been determined. Anderson is awaiting word on the DA’s appeal of Justice Norman Stiller’s decision to have the minutes of the grand jury released. The Erie County District Attorney’s Office has continued to follow D.A. Edward Cosgrove’s policy of refusing to comment on any facet of the case. Unauthorized duties The alleged coverup involves certain violations of police procedure by the officers. It has been reported that on duty officers left their posts to perform unauthorized duties. The Courier-Express had reported that police lieutenants had testified before the grand jury in connection with the actions of officers under their command. The alleged coverup deals with actions that occurred the night of the murder. The Buffalo Homicide Squad, which took over the investigation the day after the crime, is not involved in the possible coverup. One of the seven officers, Robert Grisanti, has been indicted on perjury charges stemming from his July appearance before the grand jury. Officers Gary Atti and Phillip Gramaglia have been indicted on manslaughter charges directly related to the beating death. Another officer, Samuel Fusco, has not been indicted but his car has been placed at the scene of the crime by some witnesses. All four policemen -Harvey Shapiro have been suspended from the force. The reason for this, shei feels, is that women do not want the “paternalistic attitude” that often emanates from a male attorney. she explained, is to fight against Tokenism The second series of workshops covered strategies for success, one of which was titled “Affirmative Nixon, Action.” Sheila an Affirmative Action/Human Officer from Development Buffalo State College, stated, “A* a Black Woman I have experienced racism as well as sexism.” The concept of Affirmative Action, comparable work regardless of a person’s sex” is Delores Barracano discrimination on the basis of race sex and to develop a social or consciousness among the public.

Gathering support for boycott boycott,” by Brad Bermudez Staff Writer Spectrum A campus-wide effort by the Student Association of the State University (SASU) to boycott the SI 7 student mandatory health fee will be implemented in the coming weeks. SASU will be distributing literature and posters, urging students to boycott the fee next semester, according to Buffalo SASU delegate Allen Clifford. An open meeting on the issue will be held on Monday in Haas Lounge for all students. SASU has claimed the fee is illegal because monies collected will not be used for improving health services, but will be placed in a general fund, according to Clifford. Clifford claimed that Director of Health Services, M. Luther Musselman, “has admitted that money from the health fee will be placed in the general fund of unallocated monies and will not be used to improve health services.” The SUNY Board of Trustees has requested the repeal of the fee and its fate now lies in the hands of the New York State Legislature. A committee has been formed to investigate the possible consequences of a boycott, according to Clifford. “We don’t want to tell the students not to pay until they have all the information necessary to make a decision,” he stated. Statewide ban A meeting of SASU officials from most of the SUNY schools took place at Geneseo State College on November 4th and Sth. SASU delegates met with members of the Midwest Organizing Academy to discuss strategies for organizing and plans for the boycott. Five colleges Geneseo, Brockport, New Paltz, Oswego, and SUNY at Buffalo will attempt a boycott. Geneseo and Brockport, the two schools that have been instrumental in organizing the boycott, will distribute pledge cards to both students and parents. ‘The cards will show how much student support we have and will give added impetus to the - - stated Rick Krenzer, a Genesco SA Official. ‘There is a lot of student support at Brockport,” said Bill Waxman, the school’s SASU delegate. “People are enthusiastic. They’re actually coming to our office requesting the cards he ’’ added. Other schools, including New Paltz, Oneonta, Binghamton, Potsdam, and have initiated letter-writing campaigns, directed at the State Legislators and Governor Carey. However, the SASU delegates of Oneonta, Binghamton and Potsdam are hesitant to implement a boycott. Rick Stember, SASU co-ordinator from Oneonta stated, ‘*We have formed an advisory board to investigate the consequences of a boycott. We just don’t have enough information.” Majority Leader ■ key Chairman of the Health Services Committee at Binghamton, William Barsky, holds the same view. ‘The cost of staging an unsuccessful boycott would be more than if we channeled our efforts to a more useful campaign,” he said. Binghamton has implemented a letter-writing campaign directed at Carey to repeal the health fee and SASU delegates plan to lobby at the State Legislature in Albany. Binghamton’s prime target in lobbying will be Senate Majority Leader Warren Anderson, according to Barsky. “Anderson is the most important man in New York politics behind Carey. If we can win Anderson, there’s a good chance we can beat the fee,” Barsky said. Persuading Anderson may be a difficult task, however. Barsky added that in previous encounters, Anderson termed SASU premature in coming 10 him, since matters such as this go to the Governor first. “Anderson also stated that he would rather remain impartial to the entire affair,” Barsky said. SASU’s main goal at this point is to provide information to all SUNY students and gather their support. �‘Statesman weathers financial crisis 9 Stony Brook newspaper ousts Editor-in-Chief by Jay Rosen Managing Editor Statesman, the student newspaper at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, has been rocked by the looming impeachment of its editor-in-chief and a severe financial crisis. Razier David has been OlctLKsOmQ* suspend him. If he does not resign by the 28th, Razier will officially be impeached. Statesman ran into financial troubles when the student government, the Polity, refused to allow the paper to spend $5000 of its spring semester allocation in this half of the academic year. Statesman warned of cutting the paper’s size if the allocation was not allowed and projected a deficit of $25,000 if the Polity subsidy was not increased. The crisis has eased in recent weeks, as payment on a $10,000 loan by the Stony Brook Faculty Student Association was delayed. to Statesman According Business Manager Jeff Horowitz, Razler has served a turbulent three years on the paper that have seen him ousted several times from various positions. Razler, holding the most experience on the staff, ran unopposed last year in the election for editor-in-chief. 11-6. Razler’s election was contingent upon hie adherence to three policy guidelines. One that he not author any stories the student concerning government because of heavy personal involvement; two that he bring any internal disputes to a third party on the editorial board for resolution; three that, in the event of a majority no confidence vote, he would voluntarily resign. Razler has violated all three conditions this year, according to Horowitz and Managing Editor Robert Gatsoff. Rather than resign after the unanimous no confidence, vote, Razler has forced Statesman to go through the technical procedure of impeachment, involving a significant amount of bureaucratic - - - i 'U. -f - turning in a nearly unanimous “no vote.” After all the other editorial positions were filled, the board, at a special meeting decided to hold another vote.

Gatsoff this, disputed claiming that Troner actually urged some editors to keep Razler on. Financially, Statesman appears to be on somewhat firmer ground than several weeks ago, when the paper wrote of cutting back to one issue a week. Though the Polity has consistently mandated that Statesman publish thrice-weekly, the paper contends that it has not received sufficient backing to fulfill that obligation Statesman's $50,500 subsidy is $3000 less than in 1973, despite soaring costs in the years between. Its editors receive no stipends, almost unheard of across the SUNY Horowitz system. that unwise explained expenditures on the Statesman's part, coupled with insufficient funding, spawned the paper’s recent financial difficulties.

Circulation average: 15,000 �Layoff procedure improper Hosie explained that layoffs occur when hiring in excess of the labor budget. He said that there was over-hiring that varied from two to five percent by unit, and that if cutbacks had not been made, Food Service stood to lose a minimum of two percent of its $3,200,000 labor budget. When students are hired, said Hosie, they are given a two page brochure called General Information and Policy Requirement for Student Employees. “This brochure states that some positions may have to be eliminated,” said Hosie. Hosie stated that Food Service had an unwritten policy of giving a one week notice to all employees that are laid off and that all of the Food Service units, except for Squire Hall, adhered to this policy. He added that in the future, he will publish a written procedure that will recommend a one week notice. Lalonde, who had worked in the student club for three years, said that people’s hours were regularly cut without prior notification. He said that Director of Food Service Donald Hosie has admitted that the Squire Hall unit of Food Service acted improperly in laying off employees without prior notice. A letter sent to Hosie by Student Association (SA) Executive Vice-President Andrew Lalonde stated, “This type of approach by Food Service to their employees is completely unjustifiable and deserves an immediate response.” Hosie countered is by stating that this claim Lalonde is “not being fair” because only “one unit out of the fourteen Food Service units acted ' improperly.” Stewart Cutler, a former student employee, related that he “walked in on a Monday, the supervisor came up and explained that he was being laid off and that he would not have a job after that day.” Overhiring employees were not technically laid off, but that they were given no hours to work. Hosie said that there will be no more layoffs in the month of November and that if Food Service sales equal their historically based projections, there will be none in the month of December. Hosie said, “If we do not meet the budget, layoffs will occur.” Lalonde, in his letter, pointed to a “complete lack of courtesy and respect” shown by Food Service to the individuals who were laid off. Lalonde claimed he was told that employees showed up for work on time “only to be told to go home, that they were no longer employed, and that they could pick up their check sometime in the near future.” Rob Herbin Struggle for the Third World: Chilean resister lectures the necessity for a proletarian revolution employing all forms of by Elena Cacavas Spectrum Staff Writer struggle stressed that the itself was a necessary component in the process of He also accomplishment. emphasized that the proletariat would have to view the struggles of past movements in order to own. ‘The their carry out working class in Latin America will learn from the past 15 years of struggle,” he said. To this : Gustavino added that crises such as Vietnam would also be worth studying. Just as important as viewing past incidents is the idea of unifying one’s forces for strength. Gustavino cited specific examples such as Columbia’s coordination Army of the of National ...

He continued that this new class was to become the main force in the ongoing social and political struggles. Furthermore, this new class led to a sharpening of the entire class structure and formed the possibility as well as struggle. Gustavino 1 A representative of the Chilean Resistance Pablo Movement, Gistavino, emphasized learning from past struggles and the necessity of uniting the left with the working class to eventually “defeat imperialism” in Latin American countries. His lecture, entitled “Crisis of Imperialism and Third World Resistance” was held Wednesday night in the Fillmore Room as part of Third World Week here. to the Giving background struggle against imperialism by emphasizing a Marxist ideology, Gustavino explained that after World War II there occurred vast and Costa Rica’s alliance of its three existing Left forces for a joint platform.

He closed by saying, “Forging is the main task of in Latin America in order to face and defeat (using all means) bourgeoise imperialism.” an alliance resistance ‘Backyard patio' the lecture Throughout Gustavino out the pointed strategic importance of Latin America to imperialists. After American and European losses in Indo-China and Africa during the 1960s, Latin America became a strategic zone of retreat, or as Gustavino put it, “a backyard patio of imperialism.” He added that the “enemy” has the strength and means to keep the revolution and the working class in Latin America under the present state; however, “the government cannot annihilate the working class which has been learning from the experiences of clandestine struggles and bloody massacres,” he said. An interesting point brought out in the lecture was what Gustavino termed a propaganda “double tactic” employed by the imperialists in Chile.

NYPIRG Student Project Co-ordinator Larry Schillinger said that a goal of 2500 signatures has been set and estimates that 1800 signatures have already been collected. A group of seven students is currently working on this project and they have found encouraging response from dorm residents, according to Schillinger. These petitions will be presented by NYP1RG to the Inter-Residence Council (IRC) in an effort to obtain their endorsement of the non-returnable bottle ban. NYPIRG hopes that a declaration non-retumables will be made this December by IRCB (IRC Business). Schillinger advised that these petitions constitute sufficient student support to warrant an IRCB endorsement. — —continued on page 18— Voice of the people Imperialism in Arab world by Jim Safee Spectrum Staff Writer “Imperialism and Peoples’ Struggles in the Middle East” was the topic of a discussion by Fawuz Turki, at a lecture on Tuesday night in Wendy Hall. Turki, an authority on peoples problems in the Middle East, was the first speaker in a series of three lectures on Third World problems sponsored by The Third World Student Association. Turki spoke of imperialism as a “living and breathing reality in the Arab world.” Said Turki: “If you recall from the 1940’s when the British allowed India her independence, up to the 1960’s when the U.S. was desperately trying to hold on to Vietnam, you can clearly see the colonial, imperialistic, racist attitude that has come down from the West and is still very much alive today.” Turki attributed the current class struggle in the Middle East to “the devistation of a divided Arab Turki stated, “Before the British left the Arab world they created the state of Jordan and grafted on to it a Saudi Arabian King.” He claimed the Arab world is nothing more than a conglomeration of artificial states. world.” Turki said that colonial overlords “left a which is not responsive to the people.

In reference to the ruling families in the Arab world, Turki said, “They are nothing more than indigeonous overlords underwritten by western imperialism.” He believes American imperialism, over the last ten years, has gained a strong foothold in the Palestinian world. “Israel, Jordan, Iran, Syria, Egypt and Saudi Arabia act as agents for American imperialism,” said Turki. “These countries are to protect the status quo and to guard against the emergence of a progressive Arab state.” and Asia,” said Turki.

Arthur (D-L), one of Buffalo’s most powerful and well-respected black politicians. Arthur elaborated on State Senator James Griffin’s stunning triumph in the Mayoral election and its prospective effect on the political future of Buffalo. There has been speculation that Griffin owes his victory specifically to widespread fear of electing a black mayor on the part of Buffalo’s white majority population. Arthur felt the voter rejection of State Assemblyman Arthur O, Eve was not necessarily an anti-black vote. Rather, he felt, it was a vote based upon erroneous fears. He stated,, ‘The Larry Campbell issue (Griffin raised the question of Eve’s involvement in the release of Campbell from prison, who allegedly nulrdered two Buffalo State students) and Art’s (Eve) involvement witli Attica caused many people who would have voted for E-ve, to change tjheir minds.” MOST RESISTER PRIOR TO lENTERINO ffr The Crangle angle Many political observers felt that one of Griffin’s biggest advantages during the campaign was the fact that he was perceived to be more independent from Erie County Democratic Chairman Joe Crangle than was Eve. This was, in a sense, ironic because Eve had been a longtime foe of Crangle’s and stressed his independence during the Primary election. Councilman Arthur did not agree with the notion that Eve lost because Eve became too closely aligned with Crangle after he won the Democratic nomination “Eve’s record on bossism is clear,” Arthur asserted. “He has been totally independent from Crangle throughout his whole political career. I do not believe that Crangle was Jimmy Griffin on the move by Harold Kozlowski Spectrum Staff Writer hell he’s doing in Buffalo,” Such a person would be required to state what felonies he was convicted of, when he was released from any jail term, how long he plans to stay in and other Buffalo, questions. Gnffin added that he people has the looking Mayor elect Jimmy Griffin has legislation proposed requiring convicted felons to fill out a police questionnaire prior to into the city of Buffalo As Griffin puts it, “There would be five or six questions that would let us know just what the moving proposal’s legality. During made his several campaign charges (iriffi agams haircutt roasona V nrc \ > 0 factor in the election It has been said that Griffin won the election because he successfully divided the city along racial lilies. Arthur now hopes that Griffin will “bring as many diverse people into City Hall as possible.” He stressed that, “Buffalo right now is a fragmented city, and if we are to move forward, the city must be united.” In spite of Griffin’s previous campaign rhetoric, Arthur is looking for the new Mayor to unite the different ethnic groups of the city. He predicted that, “The only way Griffin will be a successful mayor is if he unites the city. Griffin Ls no dummy; he knows what must be done.” a Griffin’s election may afford Crangle a difficult time gaining re-election to his post as county chairman next year. Griffin made it widely known that if he was elected mayor, he would try to topple Crangle from his throne. This is why Crangle first supported Corporation Counsel Leslie G, Foschio, then, Eve, to win the mayoral race. Arthur did not believe that Griffin’s election raised a death-knell to Crangle’s political career. He predicted that “Joe Crangle will remain as county chairman.’ To support his claim, the Councilman pointed to the tact that a high percentage of the County’s committeemen (who elect the county chairman) will be from outside the city and beyond Griffin s control, f onsequently, it will be difficult for anyone to defeat Crangle. The mayor elect’s proposal extends to the state level. Griffin says is he the researching possibility of state legislation that would require all HOP/SEEK applicants to disclose on their application whether they have been convicted of a felony Eve for Congress? Eve has previously stated that he did not want to spend the rest of his political career in the State Assembly. But, since the mayoral election, it appears that he may have to do so. Unless he is appointed to a higher position, the only way Eve could move up would be to run for Congress. Since Councilman Arthur is one of Eve’s closest political associates in Buffalo, he would learn of Eve’s future plans as quickly as anyone else. He stated that "It is too early to tell what Art (Eve) is going to do. He could run for Congress or maybe even mayor again, but no matter what he does, he has a great future.” Buffalo’s biggest problem is economic depression. The exodus of industry and people from the area has shaken the confidence of many Buffalonians for no one wants to be the last rat on a sinking ship Arthur felt that it will be difficult for Griffin to turn the situation around He did state, however, that if “Griffin appoints business-oriented department heads, Buffalo can once again be made Meanwhile, the Mayor elect spent his first weekend like many others during his campaign. He was out shaking hands with people at the Broadway Market and other areas of the city during both Saturday and Sunday. * Griffin made another move of his administration upcoming Monday member by appointing a 16 transition team headed by his former campaign manager, Joseph Martin, to advise X Griffin on how to improve and the economize Buffalo city government major Firey Griffin flies A felony conviction would not disqualify an applicant (inffm added, but "people in responsible positions would know who and what they are dealing with,” Griffin went on to say that if jailed felons are allowed on college campuses, "people should realize that these people just got * N 1 opponent Arthur O.

Since Eve that he will not run for mayor agam, there has been speculation that Arthur (the second most powerful black politician in the city) is a possible future mayoral candidate After he considered the problems of organization, money and family disruption that a run for the top spot at City Hall would cause, Arthur indicated that he has so many other problems to consider, he is not thinking along those has stated lines.

They ask, Yes to crosswords My, My. capitalistic'’ I to distinctly remember the rhetoric ot that knight in shining armour, The Spectrum a year or two ago. Has something happened behind the scenes ot The Spei lrum office? Has perhaps the tears rusted the armour? JT'N f-'ranch’ mom 1 how can a newspaper that has heavily supported the Record Co-op in its fight against the lawsuit filed by Carl Cavage and against subsequent restrictions imposed by the Ketter administration run a two page Cavage's ad for records on sale? The answer is not so simple; yes, as anyone vaguely familiar with newspapers could guess, it involves money That ad does not need rationalizing, but it does deserve an explanation, as has been demanded by so many students As with all business, a "middleman” is involved. The "middleman'' in this case is the National Educational Advertising Service (NEAS),. The major portion of the it placed the advertisement was paid for by CBS Records ad in many college newspapers around the country, using NBAS as its agent. NBAS in turn, sold local “tie-ins" to various record stores in the areas of the papers the advertisement appeared in. NBAS distributes many ads, the full page Miller Beer ads, for example, and of course makes money doing it. Such is the nature of its business. If The Spectrum were to say, please don't send any more ads that involve records and Cavages because editorial policy is dead set against the owner and his attempted and somewhat successful distruction of the Record Co op, NBAS might just respond, how about we don't send you any ads period. That, according to the business office, would mean the loss of "a great deal of money.'' So much, in fact, that The Spectrum's ability to handle the issues and produce as much copy as possible (including articles and editorials on the Record Co-op/Cavages lawsuit) would be seriously editors' crocidile ,te"?

This is a sticky question, so I decided to quiz an expert on the subject. I contacted my friend, I liner Smedlofl, a physicist at a Midwestern university. His specialty is faculty/administralion adhesion, and he’s now embroiled in the "R" controversy at his own school. “Flmer, why do you think it's a bad idea to let students resign from courses whenever they want to?” "If we let students have their way. they'd all be getting A's!” Smedloff laughed. “Without an early deadline, students would wait until the end of the semester and then drop all the courses they were going to get less than an A in. Grade inflation would skyrocket! Can you imagine what that would do to the price of a loaf of bread?” “Are you saying that if everybody had A’s, then those grades would be worthless?” “Yes, that’s right.” he replied. “Prospective employers and graduate school admissions offices wouldn’t even care about them.” “But wouldn’t each A grade still stand for excellent work 1 After all, even though students resigned from certain courses to avoid getting B’s and C’s, the A’s they did earn would still require A work.” “You don’t understand! Stop trying to be logical about this!” the physicist shot back. “If students could control what went on their transcripts, where do you think we’d be? What kind of a university would we have?” “I don’t understand.” Elmer Smedloff paused thoughtfully, and then continued. “Simpson, it’s no wonder you didn’t make it as a scientist. You philosophers can’t see the obvious! Look around you, boy! What do you see? Students hurriedly running from class to class, burying their heads in books, frantically studying difficult subjects even if they aren’t especially relevant or interesting . . . What do you think makes all that happen!” “A desire to learn more about one’s self and the universe, I suppose 1 ’ “Wrong, Simpson' Wrong! They do it because they’re scared to death! And it’s the university’s job to keep them hopping by keeping them afnad Afraid of those B’s and C’s. Afraid of not making the grade. Afraid of failing and spending the rest of their lives sweeping floors or serving up hamburgers at McDonalds.” My friend’s apparent endorsement of this reign of terror upset me. I informed him that “students are human beings.” Smedloff blurted back; “Not if I can help it!” Calming slightly, he continued. “Son, we have a business to operate here, and we can’t let people get in the way. On with the show! Keep those conveyor bells rolling!” “Elmer,” I said, “don’t you see what you’ve done to the process of education 9 The system you favor Is turning students into grade-hunting monsters. They don’t care about expanding themselves or learning about the world They only care about grades. It’s a damn shame.” Shaking his head sadly. Dr. Smedloff told me, “You’re looking at it the wrong way. There’s nothing wrong with seeking grades instead of truth and knowledge. That’s how society runs, and it’s our job at the university to prepare students for society. Right?” semester WANT TbDOTHlS.fiEMCRM 1VIREMS OR BRIBERY Extend ‘R’ date To the Editor Six weeks to thereby, forcing departments, undergraduates to consider “C’s” as failures. Fight weeks would have been a more realistic deadline. The Faculty Senate Fxecutive Committee admittance is not ample time to assess academic standing because there exists no policy of mandatory periodic grading In many courses, grades depend upon only finals or term papers making it very difficult for a student to estimate his performance level. If students were abusing the “R” privilege, it is because this University has drastically limited should have been reminded of the severe registration chaos and the extra holidays which delayed important activities this is “another 1 agree with Bob Smkewicz example of students getting screwed Lynn Dreyer Bring back English To the Editor my opinion that the University made a grievous error when it decided to eliminate freshman compulsory as a course for English all am to I undergraduates. appealing the Administration to reconsider and seriously (hopefully) reinstate an English requirement. I implore concerned undergraduates, graduates and faculty members to join together in an effort to alleviate a serious crisis in undergraduate courses My motives for seeking the reinstatement of the English requirement are, at one and the same time, both selfish and altruistic. As a teaching assistant with the responsibility of instructing undergraduates I frequently assign papers and administer essay examinations as a primary means of evaluating my students. Although I have only taught three courses I have accumulated sufficient evidence which confirms (in my own mind at least) the fears of many who claim that today’s undergraduates are desperately in need of instruction in their own language. A great many students are unable to devise an adequate essay, irrespective of the subject under discussion. Paragraphs and sentences are haphazardly set forth, often without adequate transitions among the thoughts expressed. General organization around and minor themes is, in many cases, major completely lacking. Spelling errors, although they can be frequently overlooked due to typing mistakes or failure to have a dictionary on hand, can render a paper almost totally unintelligible if they are present in abundance. Such grammatical and structural mistakes clearly make my task as an instructor that much more difficult since I must also assume the role of an English teacher. But what should be of much more importance to the student is the recognition that his inability to write in a coherent and intelligible manner presents a serious obstacle to his comprehension and utilization of class material. There are many students who would agree that good writing skills are necessary but would claim that these skills are only important if one is entering It is field requiring a proficiency in them (eg the humanities or the social sciences) Why should a person majoring in the natural sciences be concerned about sharpening his ability to express himself in writing 7 I will readily concede that each seperate area (i.e. biology, chemistry, physics, etc.) tends to have its own peculiar vocabulary and accepted procedures for organizing its technical material. To my knowledge, however, none of these disciplines has claimed to reject the accepted rules for writing the Fnglish language in its customary form. A general understanding of basic grammar and composition (both of which could be taught in one or two semesters of freshman Fnglish) would provide the student with the means by which he could organize his thoughts, develop them in a coherent and cogent fashion, and possibly obtain a great deal more from the courses he enrolls in. In many ways an ability to write can make all the difference research becomes much simpler, time spent on composing papers will often decrease, new insights into stylistic changes may be discovered, notes taken in class start making a bit more sense, and both learning and enjoyment in one’s courses may increase because there is a little less effort spent obtaining the same amount of material I am much impressed and encouraged by the “Writing Place” and its efforts to assist students in their plight. 1 fear, however, that this alone is not enough. There are far too many students who do not yet recognize the great need they have for such a facility I wish I could say that simply reinstating the English requirement would solve these problems but that would be expecting too much. A large portion of the responsibility must be placed squarely upon each individual student to take the initiative in the fight to overcome his difficulties when expressing himself in writing Nevertheless, mandatory Fnglish courses (in both grammar and composition) would certainly go a long way toward alleviating an ever worsening crisis in the classroom a Steven T/A I. Mitchell Philosophy Denounce t To the Editor This is in response to a letter in the November 14th issue of The Spectrum by Mr Shabat Moshe I would like to comment on two points made by Mr Shabad Moshe First of all, Mr Moshe is to be commended on his realization that the Palestinians are indeed humans and as such they have an inalienable right to their homeland Mr Moshe, all that you have to do now is to convince Menahem Begin, the illustrious Prime Minister and the virtuous Israeli Parliament! Secondly, Mr Moshe, your denumcation of the too, join you in your condemnation of Pl.O is just all acts of terrorism against innocent civilians I. However, there is a slight oversight on your part, which must be unintentional As you probably know, last week Israeli jets crossed the Lebanese border and bombed a Palestinian settlement killing more than 100 people in what the Israelis call “retaliatory raids This was the retribution paid to the Palestinians in response to a few rockets fired across the border. Note that the recepients of this retribution were not Palestinian buerrillas but innocent civilians (mostly women and children) Mr having no doubt Moshe, your about even-handedness, I am convinced that you will join me in my denunciation of such genocidal acts “ - 1 agreed reluctantly. “When students graduate, they must go out into the real world,” Smedloff went on. “People out there are running scared. And with good reason. It’s dog-eat-dog. There’s cut-throat competition. In order to succeed in that world our students have to narrow their sights and concentrate on those A s the paychecks, the advancements, the bonuses, and the extra vacation days. It’s out job to prepare them for that difficult task ahead.” “So it’s not important the university to provide an education for students?” Elmer Smedloff seemed to ponder my question He finally replied “Yes, it’s important that the university provide an education, but not the way you think. Society does not reward people because they live by ideals or seek truth and knowledge Even great scientists like myself have to go for the A's, the research grants, even if that means working for the military.” But “Some of my colleagues are working on the neutron bomb. Ghastly work, but that's where the money is these days And that’s what university education is all about We tram people to shut up and mind their own business, play the game, and get those A’s! That way they can make it in society. Now do you understand 9 I shook my head in disbelief. My friend Elmei Smedloff, mad scientist, evil genius, and academic hard-guy, completed his thought. “To keep society going, we have to keep grades valuable. That’s why we have to restrict the ability of students to resign from courses A liberal policy would make good grades too easy. The whole damned thing would fall - ” apart.” So students must learn to adapt 9 Yes,” Smedloff said “Life is not fair " Walter Simpson A vinash Malhur Friday, 18 November 1977 . The Spectrum .

This was the querie posed to many witnesses who went before the House Un American Activities Committee (HUAC) in the 1940's and 1950's. Eric Bentley's play , Are You Now or Have You Ever Been endeavours to recapture the essence of the infamous HUAC investigation into the movie industry during that period. To refresh the memories of those who would ask: "What in hell would the House Un-American Acitivities Committee (now, by the way, extinct it developed a bad public image) be investigating the movie industry for?" The answer is, they were attempting to determine the extent of Communist influence and infiltration into the film business. — Startling and dramatic testimony To a large degree the play is a success. Bentley who also directed the work was selected from the HUAC Hearings of those years some of the most startling, absorbing, and dramatic testimony given before the Committee, and edited that testimony to form the core of the play. Still photos of the actors, directors, and screenwriters, who originally went before the HUAC, are projected onto a screen when actors portraying these individuals are testifying. To provide a frame of reference, other relevant pieces of information are read to the audience (with proper impartiality by Valerie Harris and Joanne Loomer). Juxtaposed, these three media combine and compliment each other well. Are You Now or Have You Ever Been succeeds quite nicely in capturing the hypocrisy of the hearings. A great many careers were ruined by them merely to have been summoned before the HUAC was enough, in some cases, to result in the blacklisting of the witnesses. Yet, at one point, the Chairman of the HUAC (played by Marc J. Donahue) announced, "No one on this Committee has any desire to smear anyone's name." Nevertheless, the simple implication, in the James P. McGuire as the Investigator in Are You Now Or Have You Ewer Been — minds of many Americans at that time was that any witness was a "pinko Commie". This, at a time when the U.S. was agasp at the Communist menace to its way of life. Irony too The play also conveys an interesting bit of irony. Ring Lardner, Jr. (Kneland L. Stickles) was convicted and spent some time in prison for Contempt of Congress (for not answering the $64,000 question). The Chairman of the HUAC at the time of Lardner's testimony landed in the same prison (for tax evasion), we are told. At issue with Lardner's and others' refusal to answer certain questions were; the right to freedom of belief; invasion of privacy: 5th Amendment rights; and other substantive issues too numerous to treat here. Both sides of these issues are accurately presented by the play. The Committee felt the above rights were necessarily subordinated by America's need to purge the Bed menace. As Lionel Stander (Ray Munro) put it, "This Committee is like the Spanish Inquisition: You may not be burned but you can't help coming away a little singed". Are You Now or Have You Ever Been moves from witness to witness with sufficient alacnty to avoid being dull. This very fact presents an interesting dilemna with regard to the attempt towards realism. Comprised of excerpts from the HUAC Hearings, one would expect the play to be representative of them. In this one arena it is not Hearings are inherently dull affairs. The audience is, however, spared most, if not all, of the monotonous, pressing, and mundane procedings that characterize Congressional Hearings. It is a method artifact. That is, for the play to be any good at all it had to sacrifice something what goes (and it is the right decision) is the tedium of Committe work. — Lesson here The acting is another of the play's positive attributes. Frank J. Robinson, in the role of Paul Robeson, and Ray Munro as Lionel Slander are particularly good. Plaudits must also go to the two Committe members, played by Mark J. Donahue and Richard McDonald. On the whole, the cast is credible. Although one of America's less pelasant episodes, the memory of the HUAC should not die. The lessons learned there, like those of the Japanese internment during World War II, the McCarthy Hearings and and for that reason, worthy of Watergate, are self-evident remembrance.

In all the forms of rock music today (music which has just been thrown of its axis by the new ideas and speculations of a younger breed or genre of street poets which aren’t exactly being welcomed with open arms), the term "heavy" has denoted or which is transcribed that tumultuous and near suicidal in volume mixed with extreme feedbacks causing hair to stand on end. In the past the music transformed itself into twenty minute epics termed as "jams," that would trickle into craniums with power-like chords carrying on ad infinitum. In the beginning groups brought about this style and format that have suddenly (in the fate stages of the seventies) pooped out. Today no one group has actually provided proper a transposition, (since the days of Alice and beyond) to a more melodic, powerful and appealing proportion.

Sonny has enjoyed, virtually, a Fortune of audience accessibility, ranging from the focal stream of McCoy Tyner's pianissimo (the lakes of Tyner's Sahara Milestone show Fortune's elastically volatile alto, among other things) to the eclectic bump of bessviolinist Buster Williams (Pinnacle on Muse). In an even more expansive vein, there is his brief but potent presence on Charles Mingus' new classic Three Or Four Shades Of Blues (Atlantic), which ranges from excellent to superb on the farewell tip of the PorkPie Hat, a greeting. Some of the finest Miles Davis of the 70's (Get Up With It, Columbia) features Sonny. "Calypso Frelimo'' showed his flute in bird flight to the chunga de chugwa of the percussive theme. His own LP's (Strata-East A&M, and the latest on Atlantic) showcase a gauntlet ranging from strong mainstream to Latin-Bop slighting tasting funk.

Enter UFO. a quintet that spread its stages in every direction till manifestation came in the elevation of tunes calling for an arranger and orchestrations which at first looked to me as a move from their normal high energy activities. The main reason Lights Out rose to such perfection was as Phil put it: "due to a producer who could pick up on something you wanted and direct it album-wise. We got to know at a stage that No Heavy Petting where of the material was positions in the rock press, some virtually no bouquets or press excellent, but it wasn't coming articles of grand elation have through as it should. It just wasn't adorned the group. I brought this coming across or being developed to the attention of vocalist Phil enough. A song would get to a Mogg to which he answered in certain point but it needed more arranging in the studio. We might calm tone: "It doesn't really bother us have gotten to this stage quicker because the success of the albums by changing producers sooner." That is the reason why they have been due to gigging, people picking up and playing the chose to leave former bassist for albums. So it really hasn't Ten Years After, Leo Lyons, in bothered us.

Prodigal Sun �Neil Young: A decade ofdreams Neil Young, Decade (Reprise) writes rock books, too Of course the Buffalo Springfield was included here. also And the by Barbara Komaniky Spectrum Music Editor Neil Young is an almost-lost hero. The simultaneously celebrated and maligned personal achievement in Tonight's the Night, Young's dark excursion into the seamy side of what may appear to some as gift-wrapped in glassine bags and tin foil for the fortunate's consumption, is the perfect example of how Young's grasp of what urgent rock and roll can be when combined with a lyrical understanding of the psychodrama revolving around bands decimated by everything from deportation through heroin. Distilled from Crosby, Stills and Nash, and always playing with hot and charged rock and rollers (Nils being the perfect example), the strained drama and unsympathetic kind of pathos Young invokes in his best songs ("Hold Back the Tears" being the latest example), screams deafeningly the idea of Neil Young being one of the only true rock and roll hearts remaining after nearly a decade of rocky country and falling rocks. It's true folks — I wouldn't lie to you in print. This album is so carefully and (best of all) reverently compiled that its anthology aspect is hardly offensive. Never mind the yahoo K Tel Decade front cover neon. Young's personal involvement in the production makes it east to ingest this normally repulsive format, also to carefully examine the Young artifact, one which for a multitude of reasons makes me hope Lenny Kaye puts Neil Young into his Rock 00. And this goes for anyone else who CSN Yinfluence After the Goldrush-Harvest time. It's infinitely more interesting to examine more obviously the never-before-released tracks. But the most engrossing work is in a particular sequential style, one that encompassed Young's first album and Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere. I don't know how it was diverted (Stills' temptation for Young seems to be Edenesque), but it lay dormant until appearing in a surging, solid drive that was picked up again in Time Fades Away and shows no sign of losing steam yet. American Stars and Bars still has my vote as one of the year's best albums, appearing on a list with primarily young, new bands. Neil Young has a self-serving musical insufficiency paranoia. His first published songs were more often than not sung by Richie Furay, leaving Young with the more anonymous burden of lead guitar. Sure, it's an important capacity, but if you ever saw CSNY in concert, you can see how Young is more at home stalking the wild amp than string, center stage. His playing developed a manic ferocity driving closer to the edge with each release. There is tension in his voice (and don't say you first don't like the sound of it! Rod Stewart, Stevie Nicks and Dylan (one of Young's early idols) are equally, if not surpassinly, irritating in their vocal neuroses), and an Oscar Wilde fear of mirror images. Young is the loner. He left the Buffalo Springfield in one of many identity crises, and also in a creative maelstrom that produced "Down to the Wire," one of the tracks to first see the light of day on this record (unless you were fortunate to cop the Stampede album, now worth an inestimable amount). The song has California feel, a definite mid-sixties with the production resembling that of "Anthem of the Sun"! Also notable are "Broken Arrow," done in "a thousand takes," and "Mr. Soul," with tremendously appropriate lyric: Well, hello Mr. Soul, I dropped by to pick up a reason For the thought that caught that my / head is the event of the season Why in crowds just a trace of my face could seem so pleasin' I'll cop out to the change but a stranger is putting the tease on one of Young's tying strings. His preoccupation with critical as opposed to commercial success, and the reconciliation of the two in his mind always seems to have been Young's It's easy to see at this point was Young and company playing his rock and rolS for the people, only 300 a night. Now you may comment on the injustice of it all, how lousy for the other 19,700 that could have been included in the Garden. Ah, but would you have truly been included like you could be in a bar? Not likely. And that's the whole point of this package: Keep it personal. That's why Young compiled the album, wrote the liner notes, chose the unreleased tracks, picked the photos. Because he intends to keep his passion alive by keeping it in hand. Both yours and his. He never cared much for the furor of the premature Springfield and too-hot-to-handle CSNY clashes. The reality of it all is what makes it great: Ooh baby, that's hard to change can't tell them how to feel Some get strong, some get strange Sooner or later, it all gets REAL / Walk on, Neil primary preponderance. The point is also illustrated well in "Walk On," when Young tells us in his own writing (would say that makes it official) about balancing the "professional" criticism of Tonight's the Night and the "seemingly endless flow of coming from you people out there.” It really is a genuine plaint, moreso than the I-have a million dollars- money but I'm-still-lonely-as-shit simple note for "Like explains a lot of bullshit.

Era of a war whose violence, later, would be romanticized by those who never fought yet will urge conflict. The Music known as Jazz would become unpopular and unsocial (with but a few exceptions) save for watered down format (this, of course, was happening already) When the progressions now called Bop came along (being out . of general media range for over a year due to a recording ban), it was too easily dismissed or passed over by critics and others who already wanted an excuse to kill Jazz, either with kindness ("It must always stay simple" usually meaning simple-minded, which it never was), or foolishness. Benny Goodman shook the scene more than mildly when his versatile band (with Lionel Hampton, Fletcher Henderson, etc.) became the first Jazz act to dare the classical bastions of NYC's Carnegie Hall. This was 1938, and it seemed to be, to most, one exception to a general rule which would never really be broken. The time is 1948. The Duke's Men by this time, were world-renowned. In The Mood is fine, indeed, but only Duke Ellington could color the mood in sky-blue indigo. While they performed for listeners in Europe, however, they were still categorized, generally, as a "dance band" (nice, of course) to ignore once you established a rhythm. A more than momentary awareness was growing to the truth. The Duke's first Carnegie Hall concert, first in a series of concerts, finally has been released, bridging a gulf of 30 years that people only now begin to feel. Prestige Records, in co-operation with Mercer Ellington, extend this, first of four sets, to you. A three record volume of the Ellington splendor, this release, at last, the original version of "Black, Brown, and Beige," first of the Duke's extended suites The length of "Black, Brown, and Beige," as well as its spiritual flow of continuity, opened a range of potentiality for improvisational Music that, only in the last decade, has begun to be appreciated (Consider, please, the Coltrane saga, along with the Duke's own Sacred Concerts, or the Sun Ra symphonies, the Braxton concertos, the Gunter Hampel-Jeanne Lee rhapsodies . . . suffice it to say, there are, now, cases in focal point.)

There is sound from the bells though, as they swing through the air, jingling and rattling quite menacingly. The company assembles again for the finals. This untitled piece is the only Rilobolus work having any suggestion of a plot line. Most of their dances are free form and lyrical, but this narrative piece is a stunning exception to the rule. Two sisters, loving and loyal, groomed in the style of the nineteenth century New Englanders, run and play in the fields. They fantasize about love and growing up. And, miraculously, as they dream of being older they grow in size. They become lovely giants. Their floor length gowns become shortened skirts as their legs appear from under the layers of petticoats.

No, it's not cruel irony. It is merely an indication that if Buffali is indeed a dying city, the artists, at least, are still breathing new life into it. Let's see. In the last two weeks, the Studio Arena Theatre has premiered Semmetweiss, written by Pulitzer Prize winner Howard Sackler. The Pfeifer Theatre opened a two week production of Are You Now Or Have Yor Ever Been, written and directed by noted theatre critic (and instructor at this University) Erie Bentley. Serge Daney, editor of the French film magazine Cahiers do Cinema was dn campus for two days last week screening six new European films (among them, two by internationally acclaimed filmmaker Jean-Luc Goddard). Pilobolus was at Shea's Buffalo Theatre last weekend. And Jackie Raynal was at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery last night, in conjunction with the Evenings For New Film series. That's not to mention the foreign film series which has been going on for the last six weeks at the Valu Cinema. Or the fact that, for the most part, major commercial films which have been released this Fall have opened in Buffalo on the same day or in the same week that they have opened in New York City. My point here is not to argue a comparison between New York and Buffalo: there is none. But just as Buffalo cannot compete culturally with New York, neither can Cleveland, San Francisco, Boston, etc. What I am saying, simply, is that, whatever your pleasure, there is enough happening all over this city to keep even the most ardent of arts fans busy. Let me flatly state right now that these unsatisfiable cynics who proclaim that Buffalo is artistically deprived just haven't been looking very hard. Indications are, in fact, that the situation is still improving. Next Spring, Studio Arena will move to an improved facility at the old Palace Theatre, thanks to a $940,000 grant from the Economic Development Administration. According to an S.A.T. pamphlet, the advantages of the new theatre will be "increased audience comfort and, through design and technology, enriched artistic quality of productions." Money is also being spent on renovations at Shea's Buffalo Theatre, which has been officially declared a city landmark. As for the productions themselves, the Friends Of The Buffalo Theater, as well as this University's Office of Cultural Affairs, are to be commended for their efforts in bringing the Pilobolus company to town. The people of the Center for Theatre Research also deserve credit for their work on Are You Now as do the Center for Media Study and Value Cinema people for their continuing efforts towards keeping foreign and experimental films alive and flourishing. But let us not fool ourselves; there is much yet to be done. Currently in the works are plans to move the Center For Theatre Research into the old Studio Arena Theatre when the new S.A.T. is completed. The profits to be gained from such a move, if it happens, are numerous. Certainly, the C.F.T.R. would benefit.

The thought is one that should have been considered more in those post Civil War days (and now); What are we free to do? "T’ain't Nothin Like Nothin’ I Know" replies with the sad, thoughtful night's sigh of singer Betty Roche, evoking the tear-veiled intensity of the Blues. Opening into the "Beige" section, we find, again, a syncopated maelstrom conjured by the Duke’s Men, as if to show the unchained power of the tom-toms calling for the cleansing rain. Duke's following statement on piano seems, by nature, a sarcastic smile that knows "You want crops you'd better take the props." As ever, the Duke's stride sprinkles stoic seeds, as evidenced by the solemn waltz of — the Orchestra fading in as Duke continues to play. I see Thelonious Monk coming across the hill. Baker's tone speaks of canyons and naked cities, and Carney s clarinet speaks deeply of climates and enclosures. Do we simply strip away the negative attitudes or do we clothe with a pervasive clarity? Whatever, the wisdom of nourishment, as always is essential. Greer's chimes, followed by Duke (long Fats Waller step on a Tchaikovsky run), leaves us with more than a warm subject to think about as the many themes of "Black, Brown, and Beige" converge. The Music's might, a world gathering, Come Sunday, or any fine day. Find the way. (This first installment of the Opus can also be titled "Impressional Poem of Color's Tone."

Prodigal Sun �Century Theater Southern Rock is very much ahve by Andrew Ross Spectrum Music Staff Since its inception, Southern Rock has had more than its share of misfortune. At a time when the becoming Allman Brothers were band in the the most powerful Allman, their Duane nation, and band leader guitarist premier was killed in a tragic motorcycle collision. Another motorcylcle accident a year later claimed the Brother's life of original Adman bassist Berry Oakley.

Despite but Soutern Rock's romantic many are still history, there tragic vital groups performing within the genre. On November 7th at the New Century Theatre, Charlie Daniels, Sea Level, and Grinder Switch descended on Buffalo with a potent display of Southern power which reassured a loyal audience that Southern Rock is still very much alive. singer, oriented material. Leave!I formed this band with guitarist Jim Nalls in order to perform and experiment with his own jazz oriented material. Leaved felt he was stifled by Gregg Allman's and Dickey Betts' writing styles. Because many of their songs were written in the same key, Leaved was forced into overplaying certain piano riffs. As expected. Sea Level's set consisted of a mixture of original jazz influenced pieces and some boogeying numbers. Leaved and Nads are undoubtedly the group's featured musicians, but the format of the jazzier songs are loose enough to allow each musician to experiment and improvise. It's this progression into the realms of jazz that separates Sea Level from the other Southern groups. Leaved's songs are similar to Belt's songs such as “Jessica", but they are basically more sophisticated and electric than Betts' tunes. Leaved plays piano, electric piano, organ and Touring fringe Grinderswitch, a Macon based band which has toured with The Allmans and Marshall Tucker opened the show. Grinderswitch is one of those bands which is still but constantly touring remains beyond the fringe of gathering a larger audience. Their musical strategy is simple and is typical of the Southern sound in general; put at least two lead guitarists up front and give one of them a bottleneck, turn the amps up to “high" and stick to the fast moving songs. performed a highlighted by medley. an James Elmore Grinderswitch is a Although which is band competent their genre, within comfortable there is nothing in their songs or musicianship to distinguish them of other myriad from the Guuthern acts. Often Drew Lombard, their lead guitarist, sometimes long took and but leads, interesting Grinderswitch solid set which was they were unfortunately, characterized by those same 4 or 5 high clear singular notes that Allman Brother Dickey Betts popularized and which have subsequently been ripped off by many a Southern guitarist. Grinderswitch was also hindered by a P.A. system which muffled their vocals. This is a problem for opening unlike the show headliners, they are seldom given an adequate amount of time to test their recurring acts; sound equipment. clavinet; switching keyboards in and between songs. His style of playing is full and melodic, and on his own songs like "Grand Larceny" and "Tidal Wave", he is ready quite remarkable. Sea Level set Besides the jazz oriented songs, the group performed rhythm and Southern blues and typically oriented tunes. Performed were the Leavel's originals, "Country Fool and Shake A Leg Mamma". On these numbers Leavell always delivered strong vocals and the group's rythms were always powerful, somehow I got the feeling that the group preferred their more innovative material. One of the highspots of their set was a rendition of "Hot Lanta". In true to Southern form, all musicians had their chance to solo; best was Jaimoe's. Leavell then went into an unassisted of Duane version acoustic Martha" which "Little Allman's as a tribute was meant apparently to the master. The emotional highpoint of the evening was their encore "Statesboro Blues" in which Grinderswitches' guitarist Drew Lombard returned to the stage. Supplying plenty of guitar Jim Nalls turned this clout, standard into a display of what is. Southern Rock was and still Lombard s Unfortunately, amplifier wasn't working and his solo went unheard. Despite this, "Statesbor" proved to be an effective closing number. Sea Level still growing Sea Level has a peculiar dilemma; on one hand they would like to perform only their original material while on the other hand, their audience prefers the more boogeying numbers. Sea Level is still in its formative stages and the true direction of their music has Southern-Jazz fusion length After usual the Sea Level was intermission. band introduces.

"Trudy", "Long Haired Country Boy" and "Uneasy Rider" were especially good; the live "Uneasy Rider", was fast paced and an improvement over the studio version in which the beat gets lost in some superfluous banjo pickin'. During the song right before the encore, "Red Neck Fiddlin' Man", Charlie brought out his fiddle. During the number, four pairs of square dancers sauntered out and did a little "Tonawanda Two Stepping" to Charlie's fiddle playing. Charlie came out for encores; successive three "Orange Man", "Lonestar Blossom Special", and "The South's Gonna Do It Again". For "Orange Blossom Special" Leavell and Jim Nalls were brought back for a reckless and energetic version of that song. The bands anthem, "The South's Gonna Do It Again" which was dedicated the to the late "Southern gladiators" was an appropos and effective encore Charlie's show was good but it started to become tedious near the end when the band went into some extended jams. Charlie Daniels is a good band but unfortunately they are not as talented as the original Allman's whose collective genius became salient during their jams. Charlie Daniel's contribution to Southern rock has been the romantization of th idio,. Southern act, he developed the image that I call the Call it persona. Southern rebellious, defiant, or proud; these are all adjectives one can use to describe the image of the Southerner which Charlie has developed in his songs.

It you were may or may not be true, though I think if Punks are you. at probably laugh he'd to ask him state of like that. They live and breathe in a self-denial. Anyway, if you wanna pursue the punk issue, look at the inside cover of his new album Night After Night, there's one shot where he strikes an amazing resemblance to JOhnny Thunders of New York Dolls and Heartbreaker's legacy. Yup, that spikey hair, and shadowy, but pale face, even second generation Keef the clothes are right of Lofgrm's. Matter of big Keef is a idol Richards.

In Keith's case jail may be the only solution, though for once I think he already understands, which makes any sentencing seem unjust. Back to Nils Lofgrin, who shouldn't really be compared to Johnny Thunders at all. Thunders is the from Queens, New York; Nils is from punk terms ethics of Washington, D.C. area and in try to that's miles apart.

Lofgrin, aside from being an accomplished guitarist that was once asked by The Rolling Stones to replace Mick Taylor and has played with Neil Young and Crazy Horse, can also write some pretty, pretty decent pop songs. "Take You to the Movies" is my favority. "I'll take you to see Star Wars. You've probably gathered by now that Night After Night is a live album. Right and for that reason you can take it or leave it. Essentially what you're getting on Night After Night is a greatest hits LP, cheaply rehashed as a live rock and roll concert type record. That's alright but it’s nowhere near as fresh as any of the earlier efforts. Try Cry Tough; it has a studio sound which in comparison to this, enhances the feedback 100%. The only difference here is that " you get a few extra guitar solos and that's not so necessary. Of course if you've ever been to a Nils Lofgrin concert and went totally apeshit and now want to relive the experience over and over and over and over again, don’t let me be the one to stop you.

NYPIRG is focusing on both Buffalo campuses in its bottle-banning efforts before venturing out into the community, Schillinger claimed. NYPIRG hopes that efforts on campus will be successful enough to initiate community involvement in January. “The University should serve as a model to the community,” Schillinger said, “We logically must start here.” IRCB not cooperating The Ellicottessen and the Grub, operated by IRCB still sell beverages in non-returnable containers. Last year NYPIRG pressure resulted in cooperation by FSA in getting the Rathskeller to sell only returnable containers. IRCB Business Manager, Harvey Reiss, claimed that a lack of space makes it difficult to store returnable bottles Schillinger refutes this by saying that returnables require no extra space at all and suggests that this is a “cop-out” by IRCB in dealing with the problem. NYPIRG hopes that the Student Association (SA) Senate will also endorse the non-returnable bottle ban. The only ways of successfully accomplishing the ban, said Schillinger, are by either working on a cooperative basis with the stores selling non-retumables or by requesting and receiving an administrative ban on non-returnable bottles. NYPIRG however, prefers the former method. NYPIRG is launching this bottle ban as another measure to protect the environment, save energy, and jobs. According to Schillinger, a severe shortage of land fill space in Erie County for solid wastes is projected within the next decade. Returnable containers can by recycled, he said, and need not take up land fill space. Beverage containers are a significant component of roadside litter, and “because of the S.OS deposit people are less prone to litter with returnables.” Returnables save energy, Schillinger explained, because fewer bottles need to be manufactured. According to the State Task Force on Critical Problems (which did the definitive study on this problem) mandatory deposit legislation would result in a net gain in employment of some 5,200 jobs. from page 3 American imperialism dealt with the revolution in the Arab world is when the PLO (Palestinian the fighting was Organization) Liberation mdigeonous overlord regime of King Hussien in Jordan. Syrian tanks and men were used to destroy the revolution.'' Optimistic outlook Turki questioned whether the Progressive forces would win. "For the immediate future I would have to say that the present leadership of the PLO is on the run,” he stated. However, Turki emphasized that the decline of a major movement does not indicate a energies. of “American progressive decline imperialism has been able to regroup the reality in the Arab world to accommodate itself. The Arab masses have had their noses rubbed in the vomit and degredation of defeat,” Turki related. In considering the distant future, Turki was very optimistic at the outcome of the peoples’ revolution in the Arab world, claiming “the situation in the Arab world is unnatural. It is unnatural to have all the power in the hands of a small group of families subservient to imperialism and not the people.” Regarding the recent invitation to Egyptian President Sadat to come to Israel to talk about Turki said, “I am not surprised at the specticle of Sadat making the pilgramage to Jerusalem to see his friend Begin.” Dr. Turki believes that the present Arab leadership does not reflect the views of the people. “Alliances in the Middle to the peace, Jenson Fatvtiz Turki masses but to imperialistic rulers left by the colonists,” to the nasses but to imperialistic rulers left by the colonists,” Turki said. Turki concluded his lecture by reading two of his poems stating, “I would like to see a unification of all the Arab people in a united Arab state.” Interested in Health Sciences?

Ellicott magician: Abe Steier by Daniel Hannafin Spectrum Slaf) Writer To death of Abe Steier hanged himself on Halloween. He plans to hang himself again at the end of November, when he appears at the Tralfamadore Cafe as Abatar, wizard ot mime and magic. When Steier first moved into Ellicott Complex the in September, his three roommates were afnad of him They were surprised to find they were living with a magician, two doves and a tarantula. Steicr’s roommates no longer have any fears of being turned into frogs, but they refuse to play cards with him. Steier makes cards appear and disappear, and throws them onto the floor from a seemingly unending deck. He also eats fire and allows his tarantula, Boris, to commemorate the Houdmi, crawl all over his body. Steiei sometimes finds the role to make a roll disappear at food service, Steier told him, “Bend over and I'll make it disappear." Although he says he “doesn't anyone’s puppet,” Abe likes what he does to be appreciated “If it were not for audiences,” he says, "1 wouldn’t be doing this." Now 20, the trickster started want to be learning magic when he was a senior in higli school. When his magic teacher had to leave tor Japan, Steier performed in his place. He has been getting jobs steadily since then and considers himself very successful for someone who has been in the business such a short time Steier doesn't think of himself conventional magician. of the traditional or talking done by pat ter magicians to distract an audience as a Instead To help himself achieve this goal, Steier is seeking a speical major in “performing arts and magic.” He feels that he is getting more out of his education than are other students, because of the practical experience he gets from classes. “Acting is vital to a magician,” he says, “because you can only go so far with magic; how you present it makes the difference Steier has great plans for himself and magic. He says magic has always been restricted to small audiences because it is only effective when seen close up. Through the use of technology, Sleier would like to bring his mime and magic show to large audiences. He feels the effect would be totally different from that ot small shows, and he hopes to bring such a show on campus sometime next semester Besides practicing his magic and attending classes daily.

Although rugby is not usually a winter sport, the game was played with four inches of snow on the field, prompting one rugger to quip, “Now I know how the Vikings feel in Bloomington.” The hardy souls showing support from the sidelines, certainly weren’t disappointed as the Bulls played in tournament style. The Bulls were definitely “up” for the last home game of the season, and showed the Bengals what is to be expected of them in seasons to come. Tooth-jarring tackles by the Bulls sapped up any ft 8f Tb you, "drily” exerase means everyday You enjoy keeping fit. It’s good fun and good sense. You don’t let your period stop you, either. Because you use Tampax Since they’re worn internally, don’t worry about chafing or bulges. They’re easy to use, too. (All the instructions you need are right in the package.) But, most important,Tampax tampons are uniquely designed to expand so they conform to individual body contours. Which means there’s far less chance of an accident. No wonder you’d never consider any other form of feminine protection. And no wonder you’re in such wonderful shape. The Intramural Football League Championship game was disbanded during the second half, when a series of fights broke out between the two contestants, The Bionic Men and Franny’s Beaver Patrol. Because both teams were at fault, officials in charge of Intramurals have decided that there will be no intramural champion this fall. “It’s very unfortunate, because it has been a successful program, but due to the circumstances, it was the only move,” stated Director of Intramurals drive that Buffalo State mustered. With both their forwards and backs playing an excellent game the Bulls dominated the Bengals for most of the afternoon. A host Buffalo blocked a number of Bengal kicks and thus were able to move deep into Bengal territory on several occasions. But the greater experience of the Bengals proved invaluable as their defense managed to fight off UB’s drives before any damage had been done. ‘ Bill Monkarsh. Monkarsh said that the intramural program was set up for fun and clean competition, and that although he’s glad that the competition is taken seriously, fighting under any circumstances will not be tolerated. “We took a stand against fighting, which is more important than deciding a champion,” added Assistant Director Steve Allen, who was also the head referee in the game. Lone score Before the game was called, the defending champion. Bionic Men, were leading the Patrol 6-0. Their Penalty kicks The Bulls were awarded two penalty kicks at the 25 yard mark, but both were missed, largely because of the snowy landscape. The penalty kicks were awarded at the points of infraction, which were about 10 yards from the sideline (line of touch), making the kicking angle an extremely difficult one. Buffalo State did move into LIB territory toward the end of the match, but the whistle blew to end the game before any drive was initiated. With its 14-0 win over Niagara and 0-0 lie to the Bengals, UB is slowly emerging as a ranking power among Western New York schools, according to coach Mike Regan. He said that things are definitely looking up for the young UB team. With UB set to play a full spring schedule, Regan suggested that rugby would be an excellent way for fail sports enthusaists to stay in shape over the spring. Besides being an excellent sport, there is always a party afterwards, he said. The party, or third half as it is often called, features beer drinking, rowdy songs and a chance for previous 80 minutes. The UB Semi-annual Rugby Queen pageant was held at last Saturday’s party. Jamie Roach was picked from a field of 20 women.

The touchdown culminated a well executed drive by Schram. He used short passes and a long third down run up the middle to set up the score. Preceding the brawl, Franny’s Beaver Patrol complained about the officiating, repeatedly pointing out that some of the referees were varisty baseball teammates of Bionic Men Mike Betz and Groh. Allen defended his choices of referees calling them the most competent on his staff. “Both (refereesl- John Pedersen and Joe Vizzi, who are baseball players, have the most experience in football officiating, throughout the intUBiiral league,” explained Allen. Betz denied the the officials favored his team. “There were sduje controversial calls, but they went both ways,” he said. Allen felt that the Intramural Department has set a precedent by taking this action. “It’s a warning for all students that this type of unsportsmanlike conduct will not be tolerated,” he said.

He here cited an example by explaining a system which was instituted recently in Chile called ‘‘Democratic the Process” Institutionalization Three steps are involved in this process, the first of which is happening presently and will continue until 1985. This first step, call the “Restoration,” is to be followed by a period of “Consolidation” running from new finally 1985-89 and “Elections” in 1991. Gustavino referred to this process as a contradiction because he said there is not much chance of it’s succeeding, but also implied that it was never intended to do so.

The Maintenance Department’s inadequate performance, particularly on the Main Street Campus, was blamed on a host of factors by a number of sources including the Veteran’s Day holiday, poor timing, and a lack of money. Assistant Vice President for Physical Facilities, Burr Folts, offered no comfort to the dozens of students seen spinning their wheels over the weekend in the unplowed lots. “There will be ice in those lots all winter,” he said. However, most of the officials in touch with the situation seemed to feel the problem was a result of a series of unusual circumstances. to Facilities According Program Coordinator Ray Reinig, the initial complication was that the season’s first major storm fell still al: where were the plows? • , ‘ >M '• : ' ’ • , • , Operation snow • . *'M 'Mm *1 on a holiday. “We were working with a skeleton crew,” he said. Folts concurred, saying, “We try to work with skeleton crews on holidays.” Go to Albany Overtime money must be paid to people working on holidays, and, said Reinig, “We didn’t want to expend too much overtime money.” Reinig added that “we don’t have much overtime money left.” There is no money specifically set aside for overtime for snow removal. payment Overtime pay comes out of a general fund for emergencies. If an unusually heavjr winter occurs, and the Maintenance Department runs out of those funds, the school will “have to go to Albany” for more, according to James Sarra, Director of Physical Plant for Main Street. However, Reinig feels that “if we are prudent with the money we have we will make it through the winter.” The gradual shift of the University to Amherst is depleting the manpower reserves on the Main Street Campus. The —Jenson Snow dogged Mein Street lots three deyt after the first winter storm. Maintenance Department has lost 100 people in the last two years, many of them to the new facilities at Amherst. Where each building on Main Street once had its own custodian, a custodian might now be responsible for two or more buildings. Yet another reason for the depleted manpower situation at Main Street on Friday was the dedication of Capen Hall on the Amherst Campus. “At about 11 ajn. on Friday we had to send plows out to Amherst for the Capen dedication,” reported Mr. Sarra. However, the Amherst parking lots, with few exceptions, were no clearer than Main Street’s. The fact that the snow didn’t start to accumulate until so late also contributed to the problem of removal. Also, snow was not falling all over the city, but only in certain areas, leaving those responsible for initiating removal unaware of the snowfall here. “I —continued on page 2 — The SpECTR^UM Vol. 28, No. 34 Crisis State University of New York at Buffalo Wednesday, 16 November 1977 andImperialism: Third World in transition Third World symposium—see page 2 �Caution: beer and soda tabs Snow removal... may be hazardous to health —continued from page 1— got in at 6:30 a.m., and 1 didn’t the rocks,” explained Denise Stumpo, a student here. “Wrapped around its neck was a plastic six-pack ring. It was cutting into the mouth all the way back to its neck. We found a fisherman who had a knife and cut it off. The bird was really weak. It didn’t even resist us and when it was released, couldn’t fly. It swam away.” Plastic six-pack rings and aluminum tabs cause the death of thousands of animals each year. Many cases have been reported where animals, especially birds and fish have died because six-pack rings were not disposed of properly, according to Mark Ginsberg, head of the Buffalo Animal Rights Committee here. “Cats may find these rings and out of curiosity begin to play with seagull, down in Don't Utter Aluminum pull-off tabs are them,” explained Thomas Collins, Director of The Erie County Society for the Prevention of Cruelity to Animals (SPCA). “While playing with the ring, the cat may get it caught around its neck. The rings become so twisted that the cat chokes to death.” these reporting People incidents have tried to help the animal, but often it has already suffered permanent damage. “A friend and I were walking along the rocks near the Niagara River Gorge when we saw a another of cause accidental deaths. “Crows are attracted to around the rim.

The bigger fish chomp on it and it gets lodged in their gills. “People fishing and drinking drop the tabs also,” said Mark Ikenson, a graduate student fisherman here. “Some of them don’t know about the danger and some of them don’t care,” he commented.

By 7 a.nu there was only an inch of snow,” said Sarra. By that time the parking lots were already beginning to fill up with the cars of arriving students and staff. The lots didn’t really empty until 11 p.m., when the night school students left, according to Reinig. “By the time the lots were empty, the lots were already frozen,” he said. There was “no sense to go in there with plows,” once the lots were frozen, added Sarra. Why the lots were not cleared over the weekend, when there were no cars in them is that “we hoped the ice would thaw over the weekend,” in Sarra’s words. Folts added that “we don’t operate on weekends unless heavy snow falls.” Again the reason would seem to be a fear of spending limited overtime money. the thinned out Despite manpower, lack of money and the poor showing in the year’s first heavy snowfall, none of the sources seemed worried about the UNITE concern these nations. Ironically Lneither of the organizations — — ... of the rural communities on their own terms." A Buffalo author, Alison DesForges, will be discussing “how the members of a relatively small political unit deal effectively with larger and more powerful outsiders.” Her information is based upon material from her in-progress book about the Rwandan people. She stated in a telephone interview that “most people are becoming aware of South Africa’s tragedy: 80 percent of the companies there are foreign. There are heavy Investments by British, French, and American firms and an increasing amount of Israeli ties.” However, she felt that the Israeli involvement is more out of “emotional” 20th. The ideology of both programs is underlyingly the same: a more complete understanding of the problems facing the Third World Nations. Yet, on the surface there is a strong contrast between the two separate presentatipns. As Alvaro Carrasco, coordinator of the Third World Week, states, “Theirs they have their is a more historical perspective point of view and we have ours. We are more concerned with generating support on an immediate level.” And as Dr. Welch states, “Theirs is political activism, ours is academic.

Our goals are different and we’ll try to work things out as best we can.” Lalonde is not certain that he will finish his term of office which runs until March 15, 1978. It is possible that he may graduate at the end of this semester, or, if he returns, stipulate that his resignation be made effective at the beginning of the Spring term. Lalonde s duties as SA Committee Chairperson will be handled by SA Vice President for Sub Board Jeff Lessoff. ■ Alleged coverup In related developments, the Courier-Express reported that the Erie County District Attorney’s Office has discovered at least 10 attempts by Buffalo policemen to hamper the investigation of Long’s death.

The regulations mandate that a semester consist of at least 14 and no more than 16 weeks of instruction, “or about ISO instructional days,” said Dremuk. Alternative solutions include extending the semester beyond the w nter break or eliminating the Columbus Day holiday. “Starting a few days earlier is more palatable than returning after New After the 1977-78 calendar had been decided upon by the calendar committee last year, George's SpecieI Bgg Fpo Yong Centonese Chow Mein end Meny other Chinese - witnesses. •> Poice Officers Gary Atti and Philip GramagUa were indicted for manslaughter by the Grand Jury on October 14. The Grand Jury also indicted Officer Joseph Grisanti on perjury charges. Information public interest Meanwhile, in another facet of the case, the DA’s office is awaiting word on its appeal erf Justice Norman Stiller’s decision to have the Grand Jury turn over testimony to the city. Stiller said, ‘The interests of the public are involved in having departmental charges affecting police officers tried and heard promptly.” The city had requested the material so the police departmental investigation could proceed. The DA office had con tested the request on the grounds that if the testimony was released to the police department, the privacy of the Grand Jury would be violated. District Attorney Edward Cosgrove elaborated, “When a witness goes before a grand jury he has to know what he is saying will be treated with confidentiality.” Assistant DA Clark added that the police department had its own methods of acquiring information for departmental hearings, thus precluding the need to release the Grand Jury testimony. Clark also said a decision on the matter is not expected for at least two Harvey Shapiro $ Academic Affairs, Claude Welch, the SUNY Faculty Senate urged the Board of Trustees to eliminate the Jewish holidays for next year because of the tight fall semester. Fall semesters at this University traditionally begin after Labor Day and end several days before Christmas, leaving little scheduling slack. Dremuk attributes the addition of the Jewish holidays to the calendar to the “traditional amount of pressure on campus.” Holidays cause confusion Student Association (SA) President Dennis Delia confirmed Dremuk’s attitude and added that the addition of the holidays “lead to a tremendous amount of initial confusion at the start of the semester.” Delia explained that students begin Just to study and go to classes when the holidays break and are interrupted, making it difficult to “get into the swing of things again.” Delia added that scheduling around the holidays was thought to be a good idea at first, but in order to appease every ethnic and religious group on campus, everyone must have off. The/foly holidays hat should exist on a SUNY campus are state and national holidays,” he said. When asked about the posabihty of school reopening next year before Labor Day Delia said, “If we have to do it, we have to do it. It has been done in the past and of all possible alternatives, starting school earlier is the most desirable. Welch added that he is almost certain that classes will begin before Labor Day, because traditionally the fall semester has been cutting it close regarding SUNY requirements for instructional days, and that the addition of the holidays makes it impossible to meet the requirements between Labor Day and the inter-semester break. The Calendar Committee, comprised of faculty and student representativer, will be meeting within the next couple of weeks to decide upon a workable calendar according to Dremuk. ‘ Hoof Kong Chicken with vegetable Lichee Guy Kew (Chicken Bell* with Lichees) Go!

Troubles that have so shocked me. my conscience compels this writing. In recent times our minds have been bombarded by the fossil fuel shortage. The shortage and oil embargo of 1973 served the proponents of nudeSr power well We are told that we need a new reliable source of energy. And we do. The catch is, we’ve been conditioned toe believe that the only viable source is nuclear. This is where the “current’’ deception begins: solar energy u viable now. Marshall Ausuebei, former Alternative Energy Laboratory Coordinator to Rachel Carson College and New York Public Interest Research Group, had this to say: “Photovoltaic solar cells take light and convert it into electricity. According to Dr. Barry Commoner, the Federal Energy Administration suppressed studies that showed that photovoltaic solar cells would be almost immediately cost-competitive with conventional energy If the defense department was to put in an order for the cells with one of the major companies, it would have the effect of creating an industry. The industry would mass produce the cells and the economies of scale would almost immediately drive the cost of production right down. After a brief period of time photovoltaic cells would be cost-competitive.” Concerning the nonexistence of a photovoltaic cefl industry, a source from within the nuclear power community said: “The only problem keeping the industry is money.” ... Now that the contention “nuclear power is the only viable energy” has been determined a deception, we should examine why this fraud was perpetrated. The deceit helps the nuclear proponents by getting us “with them." The expression “with them” is used by salesmen to describe human behavior, when people want to buy the product being sold, in this case “with them” is particularly appropriate. For, ih essence, it has been inscribed in our brains to associate the fact that we need a new source of energy with the deception that nuclear is the only viable source. Therefore we are almost sold on nuclear power; we’re “with them" from the start. But jre need to know one thing before we’re power is the only way, really pays off, for it predispositions us to readily believe that nuclear power is safe. Our minds have been placed in a highly susceptible state, resulting in our acceptance as fact, unsubstantiated claims that nuclear power is safe. To find out if nuclear power is safe, does the American public tun to the libraries, or write to the Environmental Protection Agency or Nuclear Regulatory Commission? No! Does this nation’s most concerned and best informed individuals, college students, make their own investigation of nuclear power? No! Then how is it that the American public and the college students know that nuclear power is safe? Quite simply, you don’t know that nuclear power is safe. However, you have been conditioned to think that it’s safe. So every time you hear an advertisement promoting nuclear power and your public utility, stop! You are being conditioned. Perceive the reality. Some 200 million people have been spoon-fed an education in nuclear power by an advertising firm. Does this spoon-fed education consist of any hard facts and figures? No! The education via the media is kept simple to serve the best interest of the nuclear power community. The voice of the advertising firm gently insists “nuclear power is safe and clean energy.” And that’s all. Then we’re returned to our program (ing). Protection Agency (EPA). - Dr. Joseph Highland, director of EDPs Toxic Chemicals Program, stated, “The EPA’s findings are precisely what we predicted in Troubled Waters. The EPA has verified our main conclusion that the Hudson is extremely contaminated with a spectrum of hazardous substances, many previously undetected.” Thy Hudson River provides drinking water for 150,000 people. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers hss proposed to supply 10 million people in the New York metropolitan area with water from the river. Many toxic chemical pollutants identified in contaminated industrial wastewaters were also identified by the EPA study far downriver from their discharge points. Dibutyl phthalate, 1.2 dlchloroethane, chloroform, and toluene were found. “The EPA’s study, which was much more extensive than ours, uncovered even more toxic poflutants than we were able to find,” said Walter Hang. NYPfRG staff scientist and coordinator of the Hudson River Project. '-JL APPLICATIONS MAY BE PICKED UP MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY IN ROOM 343 SQUIRE HALL FROM 9 am to 5 pm. DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS IS MONDAY, NOVEMBER 21 • /i \ *" >OAM> 7QONE.WC For further information call 831-5534 So, some of the facts and figures that are so absent in the nuclear power commercials must be explored. It must be remembered that the following instances and statistics do tend to be conservative; many of them originate from the federal bureaucracy and nuclear power industry that hired the advertising firm to keep you ignorant and brainwashed. The generation of electricity by nuclear power results in the formation of high-level readioactive waste. The 1970 physics Nobel Laureate, Hans Alfven, concisely evaluates the present and future dilemna posed by atomic energy: ‘The problem is how to keep radioactive wdata in storage until it decays after hundreds of thousands of years. The deposit must be absolutely reliable as the quantities of poison are tremendous. It is very difficult to satisfy these requirements for the simple reason that we have had no practical experience with such a long term project.” If Nobel Laureates are questioning the possibility of safely storing the radioactive waste, shouldn’t you? The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), conspicuously —continued on page 12 — The EPA study, entitled Monitoring to Detect Previously Unrecognized Pollutants in Surface Water, was recently completed after two years of work, at a cost of $450,000. More than 200 water samples from major rivers across the nation were collected and examined by a team of scientists from the University of Illinois. Twenty-eight samples were collected fm IS sites along the Hudson River. Nationwide, hundreds of exotic chemicals 'were identified. Many were known or suspected carcinogens (cancer-causing agents), teratogens (causing birth defects), or otherwise hazardous. Donald Ross, director of NYPIRG, stated, “We hope this new evidence wdl at last force the EPA and New York State’s environmental and health agencies into immediate action. It’s been perfectly obvious the Hudson is extremely contaminated with life-threatening pollutants.” Troubled Waters, a 210-page study released in late September, was the result of a 20 month study of the Hudson River. Its major findings detailed the inability of New York State’s Pure Waters Program to come to grips with toxic chemicals contaminating the Hudson. It also outlined potential health hazards associated with carcinogens polluting water supplies. Epidemiologic studies conducted by EDF and other researchers in New Orleans and Cincinnati have associated consumption of trace carcinogens in drinking water with increased cancer mortality rates.

University Ketter in reopened the Coop one month later, restricting it to an inventory of $22,000 and a monthly sales limitation of $10,000. These ceiling limitations are hampering Coop operations, and are the source of considerable student disgruntlement concerning the Coop, according to Coop worker Larry Schwartz. “You just can’t get an album want in the Coop.

Unfortunately, most students will not think the matter important enough to even think about it at all, until it hits them in their smart faces that they must take a bus to the Amherst Campus to find the study resources they so desperately need. Nor should the residents of Ellicott smirk about the move, because the North and South Libraries will also be moved to Capen Hall, leaving that wondrous complex library-less. That will leave those Ellicott residents who seek very quiet study areas and the former library space will be filled wjth student organizations not yet assigned rooms in the academic spine two choices: a short bus ride or a long, cold walk.

The oppressed Greeks identified with the students, who were more than “a few trouble makers” as the military government called them. The Polytechnic school had become the heart of free Greece and rallies started from it headed towards different ministries. At that point the government could no longer dismiss the rally as unimportant. The police force was on the alert. The army was put in a state of readiness for action. The crowds in and around the school were so huge that no vehicles could pass through the surrounding streets. On the 17th of the month, despite radio and television messages relayed over government controlled stations to the effect that everything was settled, the junta decided to put an end to a situation which was more than uncomfortable for them. The army was commanded to “restore order.” A state of emergency was declared and the chief of staff took control of the situation. Trained commandoes were sent to aid the police. It was decided to break the university sanctuary, always respected in the past, despite the university senate’s objection to any interference on the part of the army or police. At two a.m. in the morning, on the 18th of November, the first armored tank entered the school. Moving scenes took place at that time Students holding flags and singing the national anthem stood in the main gate of the school as the tanks crashed through, heading against them. After the troops entered the police followed. Many people were killed and injured,nd many more were arrested. Once more the blood of students became a sacrifice to the altar of freedom. The next morning the sunlight showed the toll of seven days of freedom. Broken flags, posters, and printed matter that came from the students' hearts lay on the ground under the boots of the police who were designated to “clean up” the place occupied by “a few students.” The student radio station remained silent now. The cold and darkness of the militarism was back. But the seed had fallen. The students' voice of the Polytechnic school will always reamin alive in the hearts of all of us, a voice of freedom and non-compromise. This is why we commemorate this event each November. Today, between four and five p.m., WBFO at 88.7 FM, will present a special 20-minute program dedicated to this anniversaty.

In 1949, Chiang Kai-Shek, the leader of KMT, and his followers took refuge in Taiwan, and immediately proclaimed a state of siege and imposed martial law upon the people of Taiwan. All constitutional guarantees of civil liberties have been virtually abrogated. The abuse of human rights by KMT regime has been well documented. In its recent report (paper No. 6, Oct. 1976), Amnesty International stated that, “violation of human rights has been the prevailing practices in Taiwan,” also “political prisoners have been subjected to various forms of mental and physical torture.” On February 28, 1947 and the following weeks, the people in Taiwan throughout the island rebelled to voice their grievances against the brutality and maladministration of the regime and to demand the political reforms. Their voices were silenced by the KMT army with a massacre of more than 20,000 Taiwanese leaders. (See “Formosa Betrayed.” by George Kerr, 1965.)

However, I do feel that since I do not participate in the assortment of school funded activities because of their inconvenience, my share of fees (along with the other commuters) should be applied to something that will facilitate us. My suggestion involves the plowing of the parking lots. All I ask of this University are a half way decent education and a clean place to park my car while I am getting it. It snowed (heavily?) on Friday and I can understand why they were clogged then However, it is Monday and I have not only not seen a now plow, but not any salt either.

To the Editor On Friday evening, November I 1th, while exiting from the Mam stairway of Farher Hall, we noticed large accumulations of snow and ice. This ice resulted from the snowfall earlier in the day which was not removed, hut instead left to melt and later freeze. The accumulated snow froze into a mound on the stairs which caused people to loose a solid footing. This condition was not limited to Farher, but also to constantly used entrances and exits of the dorm buildings. The steps are enough of a challenge to the blind and handicapped normally, without adding on such slippery and icy conditions. These conditions are not only hazardous to the handicapped, but to all people entering and leaving buildings. In this day and age of enormous lawsuits, we do not feel that this University is in such a position to absorb the tremendous losses which may occur. Nor do we feel tha the administrators want to have such an accident(s) on their conscience forever. What would happen in the case of a fire where people would be hurried out of a building? It appears that the University is waiting for a serious perhaps fatal accident to occur for them to take proper measures to prevent further casualties. Is this the only way to get action? We find this quite unexoisable in a university of this size. We hope that such a situation will never occur at this university. We look forward to a speedy reply on this matter by (he administration within the next couple of issues of The Spectrum. Brian I). Larry McGowan W. Bcrgus 1. What is KMT? people in Taiwan are still forbidden to converse or discuss anything relating to this “February 28 incident.” “Recovering the mainland China” has been the national policy of the KMT regime. To carry out, or to pretend to carry out, this fantastic policy, the regime had to put Taiwan and its people under tight control, instead of gaining their support. Besides the armed forces, the most important tactic from KMT to tightly control Taiwan is “thought indoctrination.” In Taiwan, posession of any anti-KMT material is subjected to the most severe penalty. When students go abroad, they are “advised” by the regime, at annual “overseas study training class,” to keep away from any “wrong” information, such as the propaganda of communist and Taiwan independence movements. Mr. Chih said, “Our government does not forbid us to read communist propaganda on the contrary, we are encouraged to do so, to compare and to think.” I believe either Mr. Chih is not from Taiwan, or “he went wild for a while.” Apparently, KMT in Taiwan and the Democratic or Republican Party of this country have nothing in common. The comparison as done by Mr. Chih is farfetched, if not ridiculous. 2. Spying!!! Knowing the nature of their ruling in Taiwan, one would not be surprised to learn about spying activities of KMT in the U.S. In ... fact, most of the Taiwanese/Chinese students know that there is a KMT unit on every major university campus, including UB, in the U.S The incidents of KMT spying reported in Shapiro’s articles and in other newspapers are the only incidents which have drawn attention. There are many others that have not been, or could not have been, brought into light. in 1973, a former faculty member of the U.B. Civil Kngineering Department, was denied the renewal of his passport by the consulate of KMT regime in New York, because of his alleged pro-communist attitude. He reportedly compalined that he was the victim of “small report” filed by the U.B. KMT unit. In a recent U.B. KMT Unit meeting, it was reportedly decided that KMT would attempt to take control of Chinese Students Association and Taiwanese Club of (l.S.A. The head of the U.B. unit effectively put pressure on students from Taiwan by charging in the meeting that the existence of Taiwanese Club symbolized the anti-government activities of overseas Taiwanese. 3. It’s a crime!! Shapiro said, “Although there is much evidence to support the claim that a KMT surveillance network exists, it is hard to pinpoint the identities of alleged agents.” Perhaps while it is important to pinpoint the alleged agents or to find out how many Taiwanese students are actually spied on. it is more important to understand a fact that all non-KMT Taiwanese students are constantly conscious of the omnipresence surveillance network of KMT. Besides the educational interests, one of the reasons foreign students come here is that America is a free country so that we can pursue our beliefs freely. We cun express our political views without fear. Unfortunately, that has not been the case for students from Taiwan. That so many overseas Taiwanese feel and believe they are being observed by their own government agents and they are under the threat that their actions may be reported back home is itself a serious problem. To me, it is a crime 4, Future of Taiwan. While the KMT regime has been denying the fundamental rights of Taiwanese people, it is inhumane that the People’s Republic of China takes Taiwan for granted, that Taiwan is an integral part of China, and that China has every right to liberate Taiwan, without ever ascertaining what Taiwanese people really want 16 million people in Taiwan, like other people anywhere in the world, deserve the right to decide their own fate. Neither KMT nor Communist China can deprive Taiwanese people of their rights. Wednesday, 16 November 1977 . The Spectrum .

Capen Hall on Friday, November marked the ceremonial opening of the largest structure on the 11 Amherst Campus. Centrally located, the three-building complex (Norton,; Capen, Talbert) houses three major libraries, University Administration, and various student services. Dr. Capen, who bequeathed funds for the building, was honored for his unprecedented academic leadership as the first full-time Chancellor of this University. Held at Norton Theater in the east wing of Capen Hall, the dedication ceremony was presided over by University Council Chairman William C. Baird. Remarks were given by Mortimer Havlin, Chancellor of Clark University where Capen started his career, and University President Dr. Robert Ketter who reiterated the words of Capen at his dedication of Foster Hall in 1922 “they (the buildings) express the University.” The unveiling of the plaque was performed dually by Baird and Ketter, followed by the dedication address of Dr. Seymour Upset, author and sociologist at Stanford University, who discussed the Bakke case and minority trends in education. The invocation and Benediction were rendered by Reverend John'K. Hammon of the Unitarian Universalist Church in Buffalo.

My forceful appearance intimidates some people. However women tell me I’m a Teddy Bear. I’m 45 but look 35 with a very full head of black hair streaked with grey. I dress well and expensively. I don’t drink or smoke. Mental and material gifts I’m a marketing executive. I am known and respected for my creativity. Several times a year responsible people refer to me as a genius. My income is in the upper five percent of the population. I own a luxury home in Irvine. It has been professionally decorated in varying shades of blue perhaps because I’m an Aquarian. I drive a Cadillac and pursue the hcbby of restoring classic Jaguars. Spiritual gifts. I’m not a restricted “religious” man. I follow no single church doctrine. But I am very interested progressing in spiritually. At this time I understand the best in life comes through the realization of the Creator and service to others. I understand that what I am or have has been given to me. I would judge myself to be a “good man." One gift is lacking. I’ve had a most loving and successful marriage but that has passed. Now I just about “ache” to blend my life with the life of a gifted woman. Gifted Woman. About age 30 . . . Please write, won’t you?

They want to wait and play for breaks. I expect the same type of play from them this year ' , too.” order for the Bulls to be successful against the Lakers, Wright In emphasized that his team must work and skate hard to keep the puck in the Oswego end of the rink. “We have always had success when we forced the puck in their end,” he explained. “We will try to do this over three periods of hockey in order to beat them.” Conference nee The Turkey Trot, one of the most successful and colorful events of the intramural calendar, will be held on Thursday. So far, only 65 people have signed up to compete in the race, so the competition should be easier than last year’s, in which 175 people ran. The prize fo; the winners in each of the eight categories is a 24 pound turkey. In order to win those turkeys, contestants will have to race two and a half miles around Grover Cleveland Golf Course (on the other side of Bailey) or if that course is unrunnable, around the Main Street Campus. The eight categories are men’s and women’s faculty or staff singles, men’s and women’s teams, and faculty and staff teams (there are four people pet team). Assistant Director of Recreation and Intramurals Steve Allen noted that both the staff categories (which include administrators) and the women’s singles singles, Senior wrestler pit ip right where he left off last season, as he finished first in his weight class at the prestigious Colgate Open tournament on Saturday. Last year, Anderson was the only Bull to qualify for the NCAA . Tonight’s game will also be Buffalo's first in the newly formed New York Collegiate Hockey Association (NYCHA) which puts added importance on the matchup. “Games with Oswego loom very important,” stated Wright, who considers every NYCHA game important. “In order for us to win the NYCHA championship we will have to beat them." Wright feels that Oswego, Elmira, and the Bulls are the teams which arc favored to win the NYCHA title. “Oswego has to be considered a contender," he noted. “They have an established team and have always had an excellent club. Unlike the other clubs in the league, they have been in existence for over two or three years and this is to their benefit.” Tonight’s game is also important to the Bulls’ reputation and playoff hopes. The sixteen teams which make the Division II championship tournament in the East are selected by a committee of officials who select what they consider to be the top teams. “A win over Oswego is recognized throughout the East,” said Wright. “A victory over Oswego is a meaningful yardstick by which we will be evaluated.” / Loss to Saints The Bulls played their first game of the season Saturday night at St. Lawrence and dropped a 7-4 decision to the Division I Saints. St. Lawrence jumped out to a 3-0 lead after 28 minutes and then traded goals with the Bulls for the remainder of the contest. Buffalo’s goals were all scored by the same forward line. Tom Wilde scored twice while Nnemates Ed Patterson and Stu Campbell netted one goal each. According to coach Wright, “We just were not moving the puck because we were doing too many individual things. We had many powerplay opportunities but didn’t capitalize on them because we did not move the puck the way we should.” Wright was happy with the overall play of the team even though it lost. “Our team was together and the enthusiasm was good,” he said. Tonight’s game with Oswego is scheduled to begin at 7,30 in the Tonawanda Sports Center. Championships. Despite the fact that it was Buffalo’s first competition of the new season, two other Bulls finished high in their respective weight classes. Junior Ed Tyrrell finished second at 134, while Dave Mitchell finished fourth. Thq Buffalo grapplers open their dual match season on November 30 against Edinboro State at Clark Hall. • • • Members of Buffalo’s volleyball team, in the meantime, were not so successful. They travelled to the State Championships at Siena College in Loudonville and lost every match they played. They began the weekend with a loss to St. John Fisher 11-15, 7-13, in the first round of pool play on Friday. Then against Cortland, the winner of last categories have sparse registration so far. Contestants should meet in front of Clark Hall at 4 p.m. tomorrow to get their numbers for the race. Entries will be accepted until tomorrow at 3 p.m. in Room 113 Clark Hall. When asked why the Turkey Trot Is so popular, Allen replied, “Well, die turkey’s pretty nice.” This race also gives the joggers of the University a chance to test their skills. The Turkey Trot is one of the few events in which students, faculty and staff can all compete (although they don’t compete against each other). The overall winner each of the last taro years has been Walter Gantz, Assistant Professor vanity of Speech Communication and cross-country and track and field coach. Interested runners should sign up in Room 113 Clark Hall today or tomorrow between 12 and 3 p.m. nearly pulled off an upset in the first game with a narrow 16-14 loss. In the second game of that match they turned around and pulled “a Buffalo Bills,” according to coach Peter Wcinreich by getting demolished 15-0. Buffalo completed pool play with an 8-15, 15-13,7-15 loss to Barnard College. On Saturday, in the single elimination round Buffalo was quickly eliminated by Potsdam 16-14. 12-15, 7-15. The tournament was eventually won by Brockport. Buffalo came away a little battered from the tournament. Freshman Akemi Tsigi sustained a finger injury while setter Barb Starbuck got an elbow in the mouth which split her Kp. Then on Saturday, Starbuck got hit in the eye by Wanda Mesmer. ON both days, she continued playing after minor repairs. Buffalo’s final record is 17-24. Weinreich blamed the team’s lower winning percentage partly on its tougher schedule this year. But with the many freshmen on the squad he is optimistic about next year. ‘Their (the freshmen’s] experience is really going to show next year. The team should be really well seasoned,” he said.

Griffin speculated that the Even if the heat had been popular Amherst sport of "Bubble turned on when the storm was Climbing,” in which people climb predicted (the night before), there to the top of the Bubble and then by Joy Clark Spectrum Sports Editor walk or jump on it, has weakened the seams on the Bubble and thus made it more likely to deflate. ‘There is a good possibility that that kind of abuse led to it collapsing,” he said. He also worried about the danger of a student falling off or through the Bubble. Roberts wasn’t sure of that, but did say that the practices “certainly didn’t help.” Kaminski confirmed the fact that Bubble Climbing is a common practice and Monkarsh also emphasized the dangers of the sport. ‘The skin is damaged and it will be weak,” he said. “People have to be very careful.” A Birdair employee fell through the skin Friday, but was saved from injury when a fellow employee grabbed his arm. This is the third time the Bubble has deflated (and the second time it has completely collapsed). The collapse during the Blizzard of *77 was caused by the generators freezing. Although it was originally meant to last at least five years, the Buffalo weather has taken its toll and Monkarsh said that RARI has already begun discussing its plans Clinical Lack of space threatens dept. by Stephanie Weisman Spectrum Staff Writer The Clinical Psychology division of the Psychology Department here is in critical danger of losing accreditation because of space shortages at its Ridge Lea campus base. The department has been virtually stranded on the Ridge Lea site, after moving several years ago from the Main Street Campus amid firm promises of a new home in a Social Sciences building on the Amherst Campus. That structure is perhaps 10 to 15 years away, while cramped conditions and the desolation of Ridge Lea have led to morale problems in one of the University’s largest and most highly regarded departments. week the American Psychological Last Association sent an accrediting team to Ridge Lea < for a site visit, as part of an evaluation of Clinical Psychology’s application for an accredidation renewal. The team said it would be reluctant to reconsider continued accreditation unless the facility’s problems are adequately solved. “There is no academic justification for a lack of accreditation,” said chairman of the Psychology Department Kenneth J. Levy. “If we fail to be accredited, it will only be due to lack of sufficient resources from the University in terms of our spatial needs. The team decided to wait two weeks for a response from the University administrators in hopes that the facilities problem will be satisfactorily resolved,” Levy stated. The October issue of American Psychologist rated the department here 16th in the nation in terms of research productivity. “We are not arguing about a piddling department, said Levy, The psychology department has a very high national visibility. If the University rants us to maintain high quality, we have to have A meeting was l»jpj!ast Tuesday between Mpiifjtocilities.” Executive Vice Albert Somit and the offices of Facilities Planning and Academic Affairs, to consider space for Psychology. Levy feels that Somit wants to see what plans are proposed and if they are reasonable. It seems that there may have been previous plans that were thrown out. “If they renew the situation and the alternatives look reasonable, they will be presented to me this week.” commented Levy. “If the alternatives don’t seem reasonable, I don’t know when I will see the plans. I have no more information now than I had two months ago,” he continued. “It seems like there’s been some kind of screw up in plans. I have appointed a committee to evaluate the plans from the meeting, so we are ready for them at any time.” The Psychology Department has waited ten years for a Social Sciences building which is not even in the planning stages. Department officials were told when considering a move to Ridge Lea from Main Street that they would be one of the first departments to move to Amherst. Stranded buildings The phase out of Ridge Lea began last semester when the State Division of Budget cut rental monies. Last summer five buildings were vacated. This year four more are to be emptied, isolating and stranding the remaining four, one of which is the Psychology building, which costs this University over $300,000 per year to rent. When a move to Ridge Lea was first considered. Psychology building was was_high told that the Social Sciences on the Amherst construction —continued on pag* 14— Planning about what we’re going to have to do.” Among the possibilities are a new skin for the Bubble or a Bubble-top for the tennis courts. for when the Bubble bursts for the last time. “We’re hoping to get this year out of it,” he said, “After that, we’ll start talking to the State and to Facilities Judge limits ‘News’ Sunday paper plans by Jay Rosen Managing Editor A Federal Judge last Wednesday ordered the Buffalo Evening News to cut back from five weeks to two weeks an introductory offer for its new Sunday morning edition. The judge termed the offer “a predatory action, the purpose and effect of which is to attempt to monopolize.” Visiting Judge Charles L Brieant, in issuing a preliminary injunction in a lawsuit filed by the Courier-Express wrote in his 48-page ruling: “There are only two newspapers now. If the plan works as I find it is intended to work, there will be but one left. This is apparent on the entire record before me." The News had sought to distribute without customer consent, the first five issues of its Sunday paper to all subscribers currently receiving the Saturday evening News. The $ 1.05 subscription price for the old six day-a-week News would remain unchanged for the initial five weeks, despite the extra paper on Sunday. Thereafter, a week’s subscription would be priced at $1.20. The Courier, in originally filing the suit October 28, called this “giving away” the Sunday edition, and charged the News with attempting to monopolize the Western New York newspaper market. Brieant also ordered the News to inform all advertisers who cancelled ads in the Sunday Courier that the News is withdrawing its “guarantee” of a 280.000 circulation for the first Sunday paper November 13. That guarantee had assumed a proportion of newsstand sales, which the Judge apparently felt could not be legitimately assured to advertisers. * Jury trial Judge Brieant refused to bar the News from selling the Sunday paper at 30 cents, a price the Courier had contended to be “unreasonably low.” The Courier, and all other comparable Sunday papers in Upstate New York, charges 50 cents. Brieant wrote; “The Court cannot say that it is [unreasonably low], at least not on this record.” Thus far, News attorneys have not appealed the preliminary injunction. Brieant has ordered a prompt triad in the suit and directed attorneys to begin preparing for pre-trial discovery procedings. The Judge felt the Count i. during the week long preliminary hearings, had exhibited “a clear probability of success” that it could prove in a jury trial that the News' intent was to “monopolize and harm the Courier. Barring appeal, the Courier must now convince a Western New York jury of the News’ specific intent to monopolize the Buffalo newspaper market and that damage to the Courier will result. Brieant was apparently annoyed at News’ attorney Paul Olsen's insistent contentidn that the News’ introductory offer amounted to giving away the Saturday morning paper, rather than the Sunday edition. During closing arguements, the Judge asked Olsen, “Isn’t it really true that it’s a free Sunday newspaper?” Olsen would not agree with Brieant’s logic. In his report, the Judge wrote: “At the hearing, defendant [Olsen] persisted in the quibble that it was the new, abridged Saturday morning paper [to be given away].” ” • » � * * Testimony by Warren Buffet, the new owner of the News, seemed to weigh heavily in the Judge’s decision. Under questioning by Courier attorney Paul Furth, Bufffet admitted that two statements attributed to him in the Wall Street Journal reflected his point of view. Buffet was quoted as saying: “A newspaper monopoly is like owning an unregulated toll fridge,” and, “monopoly papers frequently make a �of AUende Tales Chilean student here recounts torture and heating by Brett Kline Editor-in-Chie) Editor’s note: Miguel Perez, currently a student in the Intensive English Language Institute at this University, was arrested by agents of the Augusto Pinochet military regime in his home town of Osorno, Chile one year after the regime overthrew the democratically elected socialist government of Salvatore AUende. Miguel had just completed high school at the time of his arrest; he spent over two and a half years in various jails until August. 1977, when he was sent to Buffalo. Miguel Perez is not his real name. Much thanks to Alvarro Carrasco, a member of the Third World Student Association, who translated two lengthy interviews with Miguel and thus made the writing of his story possible. The president of the student association at Miguel Peres’ high school in Osorno, Chile, was murdered on September II, 1973, by agents of the military regime led by General Augusto Pinochet. On that day Pinochet’s army, financed by the American government, ITT, General Tire, General Motors and Dow Chemical among others, and trained by the C.I.A., overthrew the socialist government of Salvadore AUende and established a military dictatorship. Since that time, sheer terror has been the way of Ufe in Chile. Miguel Perez is, in his own words, “too new to form a concrete opinion” about the city of Buffalo. He misses very much his family in Chile He'is grateful to his sponsors here that he is no longer in jail there. Short, thin and very shy, with straight black hair, and dark skin, Miguel’s innocent appearance belies the fact that he spent over two and a half years in Chilean jails, during which time he was tortured and systematical beaten. His high school student association under the AUende government was very active in providing cultural and social services and, to some extent, in attempting to better the lives of the peasants in the surrounding countryside. Miguel was in charge of drawing up a list of poorer students for whom free hot meals would be allocated during the school day. He worked to buUd a library in school and solicited books from the school and community. “In the municipal library you could read a book for half an hour but you couldn’t borrow it,” he explained. The books the student association collected for its library included contemporary literature of Latin America, textbooks and philosophy, general humanities and many pamphlets from different countries. Especially pertinent to students were accounts of student activities which recapitulated organizing efforts and struggles in Chile and elsewhere. The Allcnde government studied the areas most suitable for development and provided the logistics of how many houses could be built. It left the actual planning to students and their professors. Miguel helped build prefabricated {houses for the people who occupied slums by the river on the outskirts of Osorno. His professors taught the occupants how to read. “Much of the work was done during Christmas and Miguel said. “If I didn’t want to work. holida' \ ” I didn’t have to.” By decree of the military junta led by Pinochet, all student activities were forbidden. asking him specific questions about high school students but produced no names or photos. When he told them that he had left school and didn’t know anything, one man said, “1 guess you don’t want to talk.” v Dangerous minute September 11, 1973, the day of On the same day the coup that the student association president was assasinated, the general secretary and the leader of cultural affairs were arrested. The majority of the faculty was also arrested and school was dismissed for a month. One month later, at a meeting of student representatives, a minute of silence was observed for the dead student president. “We were immediately informed by our supervisor that we had taken a dangerous action,” Miguel said. Later on that day, military police armed with machine guns appeared in school and arrested the entire senior class. Hands clasped behind their heads, the students were taken in a bus, kneeling down below the level of the windows so that no one could see, to police headquarters. 'The police put their guns to our heads to scare us,” said Miguel. “We and then let go. All names were there until 12 but no photos were taken.” His arrest came one year later. Four men in civilian clothes accosted him on the street, asked him for his name and for information about others. They did not identify themselves. Miguel answered, “I don’t know” and prepared to leave, when they said, “You can’t go.” He was placed in the back of a car, where he said, 'They began to beat me up, no questions asked.” ‘‘I was arrested because of my acitivities in the past,” he said.

Monday, 14 November 1977 �4-course load report is assailed by DeUa by Joel Mayersohn Spectrum Staff Writer The educational merits and practical value of the Faculty Senate Committee Report on Curricular Structure is being contested by Student Association (SA) President Dennis Delia. The Report, released three weeks ago, reaffirms the three contact hour, three credit hour, course as the standard module for instruction at this University. Chairman of the Committee Report Robert Springer believes that there is a misunderstanding generated by the Report. “We are not endorsing the three hour, three credit module,” he said, “but instead we feel that it should be used as a standard benchmark, a point of reference." Springer believes that the University would not be moving towards the five-course load if it follows the report’s guidelines. Delia is not pleased with the Report. He said he is not opposed to its intent, which is to improve the quality of education here, and agreed with the report’s suggestion of a core structure for undergraduates which would increase the breadth of a student’s education at this University. Delia stated, “It would increase the value of a degree. A degree is like currency. The more valuable it is, the more you can get with it.” Too many problems Delia’s opposition to the Report lies in what he called “the impracticably of its implementation.” He sighted numerous examples which would prevent the plan from becoming a success. These included split campuses, lack of large lecture halls, and the general physical make-up of the University. Delia asked the Faculty Senate at its November 1 meeting “to show the students where everything is: the increased bus budget, the large lecture halls, and the alleviation of scheduling problems.” Members of the Committee refuted Delia’s allegations while answering other questions generated by the Report. Said Springer, “We know that sheduling is difficult, but we by no means have attempted to make light of the problem. By coniplete use of all time periods, earlier course requests and a better awareness by Deans, Provosts, and Departments many scheduling problems could be alleviated. Travel time will be reduced as Ridge Lea is vacated and the University shifts to a two rather than three campus situation.” Unrealistic charges Dean of Undergraduate Education and Committee member Walter Kunz acknowledged that there will be problems. “The Report was specific in its recommendations, but not in its method of problem solving,” he claimed. “The way these problems will be worked out depends on the implementation of the concepts expressed in the report.” Kunz called the Report “excellent” and claimed that it dealt with the situation “completely and competently.” The number of courses each student takes would vary from semester to semester, according to Springer. Professor of Political Science and Committee member Clark Murdock believes that Delia’s comments concerning class space were “unrealistic.” “They are overstating an increase in course load and the request for class space,” said Murdock. “We are not envisioning a major change in either. “This is not an isolated issue; it’s a basic issue. We are teaching the same material, assigning the same work, and demanding the same requirements. The only difference is that our students get one more credit. This is not justifiable.” Fiscal pressure A major point of discussion concerning the Report has been the influence of the State Division of Budget (DOB). Springer replied to questioning concerning DOS’s impact stating, “The Report was not intended to be fiscal. DOB was used as a matter of background. DOB is on everyone’s mind. To ignore them would be to simplify the problem, but it would be imprudent to do so.” Delia agrees that DOB can’t be ignored, but suggests, “We go to DOB and say ‘you provide use with the funds for a functional campus and allow us to complete our facilities and we in turn will adopt the policies set forth by the Report.’” Delia echoed a common cry of students, “Life here is miserable due to the transition and it will be worse than miserable if the changes are to take effect now.” Library shifts: an analysis by Marshall Rosenthal Special Features Editor The scheduled move of the Lockwood and Undergraduate Libraries to the Amherst Campus beginning this December threatens to play havoc with the academic lives of thousands of students living on and around the Main Street Campus. The move will bring the elimination of a significant number of quiet study areas as various University departments move into space vacated by the libraries. As a result, students may academically themselves find exiled on Main Street. the in Students residing EUicott Complex should not breathe any sighs of relief. It has recently been disclosed that both the North (Art Library) and South (Nathan Hall) Libraries will also move to Capen Hall. In their places may be student organizations which have yet to be assigned space on the new campus. Quiet study space for the Complex’s 3200 students will be severely cut back. According to Dr. John Vasi, Budget and Facilities Planning Officer of the Libraries, the UGL’s reference texts will move to Capen Hall in December while the Lockwood Library texts will follow in May. The vacated UGL and Lockwood facilities will be Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs. Welch said that when the Amherst design was decided upon in the early 1960s, there “wasn’t a plan for students living on Main Street, other than those students of the Health Department.” Sciences The original master plan called for the conversion of the old campus to a Health Sciences center. Budget cuts have snarled the conversion plan almost beyond recognition. Hence, thousands of non-Health Science students will continue to be quartered oil the Main Street Campus for, as Welch said, at least a decade. “The move will have an affect on the student,” said Welch, “there are not good readily available quiet places on the campus. The problem will be here for a while. There is no easy solution, but more and more to moving out classes are Amherst.” Apparently by overlooked administrators is the fact that regardless of how many classes Amherst, eventually shift to students’ living quarters in the next decade will be concentrated in approximately the same areas as they are now. This can be since. no new assumed dormitories are planned for the Amherst Campus, and off campus housing simply does not exist. None is planned. Hence, only the 4,000 students who can. be accomodated in Amherst dorms, out of the University’s 15,000 undergraduates, will live near adequate library facilities. Interchanpbie use The 400 seat Science and will be the Main Street students inconvenienced by the move. Books pertaining to departments remaining on the campus will be housed in this library. departments Those include. Mathematics, Business, Library Engineering expected to absorb possibly and Chemistry Psychology. University Significantly, administrators seem to be either out of ignorance or indifference looking past the obvious fact that students use libraries as both a resource center and a study area. They have yet to acknowledge that libraries are utilized, in the way, aforementioned — — interchangably. “It is difficult to say how much study places students need, because that is independent of the libraries,” Vasi said, “I haven’t received any indication from Academic Affairs and Facilities Planning that there wouldn’t be enough space.” Vasi added that, “When the UGL moves out, there will be a slight reduction of seats —continued on pay* 14— occupied the by Computer Science Department and the Department, Health Science respectively. The Libraries in Capen Hall will benefit from an increase in seating capacity. Vasi asserted that present combined the UGL and Lockwood is 500 seats, while the new Capen facility will hold in excess of 2400 seats. In the long run, a centrally located reference library on the Amherst Campus will probably prove to be a convenient and heavily used facility, but the effect on students who must live with the transition will be seriously debilitating. the capacity of M.D. In FOREIGN MEDICAL SCHOOLS The Institute of International Msdlcal Education otters total msdtcat education leading to practice in the U.S. 1 M.S. in cooperation with recognized colleges and universities in the United States leading to advanced placement in Spanish.

Varied services offered by Josh Werber Spectrum StaffWriter You may have a good Grade Point Index, but will you find a job? With a constantly shifting job market, opportunities in various fields are periodically opening and closing. Th«£, b.S. Department of Labor has offered a projection of employment expectations through the mid 1980’s. Prospects in engineering are excellent; the field is constantly broadening. Accounting also offers a bright outlook, particularly for those with a CPA certificate. However, it is difficult to generalize about opportunities in business, for the field is extremely diversified. The broad outlook seems promising. Prospective lawyers can expect keen competition, since large firms are hiring the top students from the most prestigous schools. Education, on both the primary and secondary levels, is difficult for those who are unwilling to change residence. Physical and occupational therapy are two fields with favorable employment outlooks. Future pharmacists and licensed practical nurses may expect a plentiful number of positions, whereas registered nurses will find the going a bit tougher. There will be the usual abundance of opportunities open to doctors. In general, the overall employment picture for college graduates is not as glib as might be expected after hearing the many tales of unemployment woes.

Co-op sale a disappointment in raising student interest by Bruce Latman Staff Writer Spectrum Student response to the Record Co-Op’s all day sale last Monday was prolific. Approximately $3,700 were rung up in sales and the Co-Op’s inventory wa* reduced to a mere skeleton of what it was at the start of the day. However, workers in the Co-Op believe that the sale, marking the two-year anniversary of the forced shut down imposed by Cavages Record Store, was not as successful as the large volume of records sold on Monday would indicate. One of the relatively unsuccessful ventures of the day was a Co-Op booth in Squire Hall Center Lounge set up in conjunction with the sale. The purpose of the sale, according to Co-Op workers, “was to raise student consciousness about the issues surrounding the continued existence of the Co-Op.” As it turned wit, students flocked to the Co-Op to buy albums, but few were interested enough to speak with the representatives at the booth. This was a source of considerable disappointment for Co-Op workers, who view its function as more than just providing students with inexpensive record albums. that of a They see it on a much larger scale student service. - Shutdown in 1975 The Co-Op was originally shut down on November 7, 1975 by Vice President for Finance and Management, Edward Doty, because of a lawsuit filed by Carl Cgvage, who contended that the Co-Op was competing unfairly with the Cavage Record /Store in University Plaza. One month later. University President Robert Ketter overruled Doty’s decision and allowed the Co-Op to re-open under new guidelines: it was limited to, a gross sale of $10,000 per month, an inventory of $22,000, and monthly income statements had to be issued to Ketter and the Director of Norton (now Squire) Hall, James Gruber. Page four The Spectrum Monday, 14 November 1977 . . Aside from the on-campus interviews, UPACG offers many other career oriented services. Helping students in the career decision making process is the office’s initial objective. In the past year, the Office has been reaching out to freshmen and sophomores through seminars, workshops, and individual inspire order to in appointments, career consideration. Once a student has arrived at a career decision and is ready to make attempts at employment or graduate school applications, the UPACG can provide a varied form of assistance, including a bi-monthly bulletin containing information on professional tests, the on-campus interviews, workshops, and seminars. UPACG also assists in the development of resumes, which the office will forward to graduate schools and potential employers upon request. Perhaps one of the most valuable assets of the UPACG is the Career-Occupational Reading Rooms. Located at 16 Capen Hall on the Amherst Campus and 3 Hayes C on the Main Street Campus, the reading rooms provide extensive collections of occupational literature and resources, of use to students with both sketchy and firm career plans. Director of the UPACG, E.J. Martell, said that the Office’s chief preoccupation is to aid in job hunting strategies. Whether the student is decided or undecided as to his or her eventual career, Martell felt a good job searching strategy will yield positive results for all students, regardless of career choice. That ‘strategy’ he observed pertains to everything from poise in interviews to employment geographies. “By taking advantage of the UPACG services and individual counseling, the UB student will increase his or her chances of getting a job,” Martell said. The inventory and sales ceiling are preventing the Co-Op from operating to its full capacity. One questions remains to be answered in light of the sale. Are students concerned about cheap records or about the Co-Op status? “It’s apparent that students are not concerned with retaining their services, which the Co-Op is one of many,” said Co-Op worker Larry Schwartz. “It’s the Domino Theory,” he continued. “When one falls, the rest fall.” Schwartz elaborated further, proposing that the Bookstore, campus films, and future rock concerts in the proposed field house on the Amherst Campus all are threatened by the outcome of the Cavage lawsuit. Poor response Schwartz explained the poor response to the first floor booth, saying, “We were set too far back from the main flow. It was a combination of poor visibility and general student apathy.” Schwartz spoke of the need to educate students to the reality of losing student services. “Students have to realize that it’s just not records, but a)l of student services," he said. “Whether they use the Record Co-Op as a service is irrelevant, for we must try to retain all of our services with the Co-Op’s existence as a forefunner.” Docs student response to the Monday’s successful sale warrant lifting the ceiling? Co-Op spokesperson Lisa Nord replied, “Yes, it does, because we did nine, ten times our daily average (of album sales).’’ Doty and Assistant to the President Ron Stein could not be reached for comment. Co-Op workers expressed dissatisfaction with an inability to reach the students. They explained that the Co-Op is unable to advertise in The Spectrum or any other campus publication, and they are not permitted to post any signs other than on their own door. Because of this inability to express their position, the Co-Op members are relying on input during Co-Op hours and welcome any discussion by interested students. �Euthanasia Win $200 by Thomas RosamiUa Spectrum Staff Writer NYPffiG study by Andrea Rudner Another goal is to increase the Spectrum Contributing Editor “energy conservation awareness” of the consumer by informing Hot plates, blenders, irons, hairdryers, stereos, toasters, radios, refrigerators, and electric building managers of the results and suggesting ways in which problems specific may be popcorn poppers. 'f The Governors Residence Hall will be the next subject of an efficiency study being conducted by The New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG). The study is part of a nationwide project called Building Energy Rating (BER) which is being run by the National Public Interest Research Group in Washington, D.C. The project’s aim is to document the efficiency of energy utilization representative in buildings throughout the nation. It is not meant to be a rigorous, scientific investigation, but will concentrate on gaining a general, factual understanding of the state of current methods of energy utilization and of the promise held by less traditional methods such as solar power. energy PIRG’s BER’s and BTU’s collection of With the sufficient data from all PIRG’s country-wide, the study’s goal is sufficient evidence wasteful practices (ultimately resulting in misuse of taxpayers’ money). The documentation will hopefully support legislation preventing this abuse. remedied. PIRG’s in all states are following guidelines published by the National PIRG detailing the computation of the Building Energy Rating. The BER figure is analogous to the miles-per-gallon efficiency measurement used for automobiles. It is a ratio of the number of units of heat (BTU’S) used in one year in a particular building to the total usable square footage of the same building. The quality of the insulation, the age and function of the building, and other factors are also taken into account, though they do not directly enter into the BER computation. Each PIRG rates as many buildings in its area as it possibly can. NYPIRG in Buffalo, under the direction of the BER Study Coordinator here, Mara Naffkey, it studying county and state buildings, homes, student department stores, banks, and small businesses. By Thanksgiving, the PIRG’s from this University and Buffalo State College will present have rated between documenting buildings. Buffalo 70 and 90 NYPIRG plans to initiate an Referral Service next Energy semester, to provide advice to all energy consumers on improving their BER’s. “Right now, we’re telling them how bad their trouble is. Next semester, we hope to steer them into how to improve Naffky. their rating,” said Governors Residence Hall is receiving special coverage. From the bottom up Working with NYPIRG is Chuck Schwartz, an engineering student here. Schwartz is enrolled in a course entitled Energy Engineering I which requires a term project from each student. He chose to work with NYPIRG on this study because of his concern for energy waste. “Conservation to me is the first thing that has to be done to meet energy needs,” America’s Schwartz commented. His project Euthanasia, or mercy killing, the elimination of extended pain and suffering by death, raises the most fundamental moral and legal questions. This complex and emotionally flammable issue was the subject of this year’s James M. Mitchell lecture last Thursday night at the Law School here delivered by Dr. Yale Komisar, law professor at the University of Michigan and author of several major legal texts. Komisar said that lawyers as a group were running away from the question by refusing to face it honestly. He finds the courts guilty of neglecting their moral and legal obligations by their application hypocritical of standards in Euthanasia cases. The precedent setting decision of the New Jersey Supreme Court in the "General case of Karen Quinlan was the object of much of Komisar’s wrath.

The court’s ruling in the Quinlan case poses the threat of indiscriminate killing something which all humane men must abhor because there are no clear standards for applying Euthanasia.” - Justified killing While Komisar endorses Euthanasia in some cases under certain conditions he believes we must reject “Dishonest puts Euthanasia” which a psychological well on killing and thus makes it easier to kill. The unrepealed law of not killing which exists in official morality does not correspond to the present practices,” he said. The case for "voluntary Euthanasia is stronger both legally and morally than the case for involuntary Euthanasia.” Under the latter type of Euthanasia, it is possible to justify the killing of mongoloid children and other mental deficients as well as the senile simply because those entrusted with their guardianship consent, Komisar said. The terminal cancer patient whose oognative functions are unimpaired is free to determine their fate while others are not. Parents have no right to let a child die, because the law imposes a positive obligation upon them to do all things in the best interests of the child. Quinlan case cited “We must fact the moral dilemma of killing in the most extreme case such as that of Miss Quinlan,” Komisar said, “where the patient is in a comatose state, has a zero cognitive function and is suffering from irreperable damage in an honest and humane fashion.” Absolute rules and regulations for its application are untenable and in instances of involuntary Euthanasia could only be applied in the most extreme cases such as the birth of “monsters” (babies born without heads completely and deformed),” he continued. We must establish standards and rigid procedures in carefully written language for honest direct Euthanasia limited in circumstances. Komisar added, ‘The court in the Quinlan case decided what the law ought to do. is leglistative This obvious function. It is a question for legislative policy. The principle of judicial restraint should apply here, and it imposes the duty upon the court merely to determine what the law is.” using blunt and Komisar, hyperbolic language, made it clear that while he sympathizes with the object of mercy killing, the dangers of indiscriminate killing on purely legal grounds must all other outweigh oonsidersations. The question of whether a life is worth living and whether a life is worth taking is of such paramount legal and moral significance that any attempt to resolve it must be made with the greatest possible care SPEC IALS” Statement of intent Editorial Control Financial obligations Circulation & Publishing schedules Method of publication APPLICATIONS MAY BE PICKED UP MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY IN ROOM 343 SQUIRE HALL FROM 9 am to 5 pm.

Gantz says if one were to sum up all the actual homicides and compare them to those on television, the latter would be greater. In a 1964 report, there were 1,215 incidences of violence on television in the course of one week, and although in the last few years it has levelled off, today the count is still high. George Gerbner, Dean of the Anenberg School of Communications at the University of Pennsylvania, has gathered data on TV violence for nearly 10 years and is publishing it in a "Violence Profile.” To do this, he had to set limitations, specifically defining what violence is. This alone is a topic that has been argued. Gerbner’s definition of violence is “an overt expression of physical force against one’s will, or pain of being hurt or killed, or actual hurting or killing.” According to this definition, cartoons are the most violent of all programming. Ratings are based on data fed to a computer consisting of a “violence index,” which composite of violent incidents and their duration, the number of weapons and participants involved, and their age, race, sex, and marital status. The television shows with the next highest violence ratings were Baretta and Stanley and Hutch. Networks are definitely feeling the public pressure and have been cutting back on the amount of violence Producers have limited Baretta to two violent acts per show, but star Robert Blake says that violence is needed to express what he wants to say. The violence that will most likely remain on TV in the future will be those incidents that are pertinent to the story in some way. Future generations may demonstrate the answer to a question posed by this week’s TV Guide: “How much violence can the Road Runner generate?” is a Third World Student Association SIJNY at Buffalo presents Third World Week ’77 CALENDAR OF EVENTS November 15, i Tuesday November 17, Thursday November 16, Wednesday 1:00 pm Panel Discussion Room 339, Squire Hal!

Staff Writer Fifty of the best seats for the November 30 Billy Joel Concert at the Century Theater were reserved by the University Union Activities Board (UUAB) for their own personnel. In a related controversy, Millard Fillmore College students were angered after waiting in line for hours and being refused the opportunity to buy student priced tickets at the Sub-Board ticket office. The MFC government is not a member of Sub-Board, the student corporation. Thus, night students are not entitled to any discounts afforded to member governments’ constituents. According to UUAB Music Committee Chairman, Richard Saltus, the fifty tickets, located in the orchestra pit area, “Were held for students on the Committee who attended meetings, ran errands, put up posters, and many other necessary activities as a fringe benefit for working and not getting paid.” Saltus stressed that, “Music Committee personnel paid the same amount for their tickets as did other students.” - BACK Every Monday Night Phil Dillon 1 0.^ 1 Sold early When asked why UUAB bought 500 tickets for the highly popular Joel, UUAB Division Director, Steve Penna, explained, “They were bought so that students could get the best tickets available at a discount rate. We sold them a day early to allow our students the possibility of still getting good seats in the event that they were sold out at Squire Ticket Office.” However, the tickets for Music Committee members were in the orchestra pit, generally considered to be the best seats in the theater, while the remaining tickets were not. Sub-Board Treasurer, Dennis Black, was perturbed of the incident; “1 was upset at the fact that the tickets were not distributed proportionally throughout the theatre. It was a mistake that will never happen again,” Black said. “From this point on, tickets will be limited to two per member and the names of the people having tickets held, the location of the tickets, and the number of tickets must be submitted to me in advance.” Black believed that the number held was excessive. “From now on,” he said, ’’they will not be orchestra pit tickets, and there will not be fifty held.” As far as the holding of the tickets goes. Black said, “It is a good way of paying people back for their hard work. We don’t pay their way, we just insure that they will get tickets.” MFC problefn In response to the MFC complaints, Black explained, “Sub-Board offered these $8.50 tickets at $8.00 to all Sub-Board member students, which is a $1.00 savings because there is no service charge for these tickets. Anywhere else, the same tickets would have cost $9.00.” The Dental School and the MFC Student Association are not members of Sub-Board and, therefore, are not entitled to any of the discounts offered to member students. Members of Sub-Board are the undergraduates, graduates, and Law School and Medical School students. Black stated, in reference to MFC, “They give no allocation to Sub-Board so they are not programming members.” As to what will happen in the future, Saltus said, “It was a mistake as far as the location of the tickets was concerned, but there was no policy regarding UUAB and MFC due to the fact that Sub-Board has just taken over control of the ticket office from The Faculty Student Association and, as of yet, there is no formal manager.” Trees at Amherst dying slow deaths Suspicions have arisen recently that the Amherst Campus is not designed for people. Now it appears that it isn’t a very good place for trees, either. “More than 50 trees have had to be replaced around the Ellicott Complex alone,” says Francis Sullivan, general manager of the SUNY Construction Fund office here. “It’s not clear whether the trees are dying as a result of the harsh weather, or from lack of care,” comments the chief site for Sasaki representative Associates, the firm of landscape architects which does the lion’s share of work on the campus. “It’s probably a combination of both factors.” Whatever the reason, trees are dying. Sasaki’s representative estimates that the loss rate is averaging 10-15 percent all over campus. “We choose the hardiest and most adaptable trees,” he said. “Many of them are of species that were already common in this area before construction. Still, most of them have been grown under protected conditions, and - John Brady Kitchen open til 4 am.

It would be much more expensive to transport quantities of larger, older grees,” he added. After the tree is planted, the landscaper guarantees it, usually for a two-year period. During this time the landscaper is responsible for maintaining the tree and replacing it if it dies.

Spectrum Page seven . �FLO not representative To the Editor. This letter is being written after I have changed feelings toward the P.LO, I thought that the P.L.O. might have a point that we Israelis couldn’t understand. Maybe Yassir Arafat could be the Palestinian representative in Geneva, therefore, my country (ISRAEL) should accept the P.L.O. as the Palestinian representative. While serving in the army, I fought for what I believed was right. I fought to protect my country. As a soldier, I fought only against other soldiers, never against unarmed citizens. I always thought that it was imperitive to help the Palestinians regain their land. I do believe they have this right. I no longer believe that the representative for these refugees is the P.L.O. How can an organization which claims to have the interests of a group of non-military citizens in mind, wage an attack on other non-military citizens? Can the gaining of a homeland for their cause be gotten at the expense of other innocent people? The P.L.O.’s war has not been waged against the Israeli' army, but against the innocent people connected with my country. This was well demonstrated in 1972 when Itrmeli athletes were murdered in cold blood in Munich, in Lod Airport when Japanese from the red army were sent to kill as many Itraeli citizens as possible, and in their last famous attempt, the incident in Entebbe 1976 when they hijacked a plane, holding every Jew hostage. They released the non-Jews. This is more than slightly reminiscent of Hitler’s ways of selection. The P.L.O.’s ways of sending messages, bombs in markets, schools, and houses of worship, is anything but an attack on military bases. I find their accusations of terrorism towards Israeli soldiers might be better Justified if they were geared towards themselves. Since the cease-fire in Leban non, the Israeli army had withdrawn from this area in order to regain the peace. The cease-fire was broken by the P.L.O., who this week attacked an Israeli border city. They then retreated to a refugee camp to avoid retaliation. This is their usual technique. The tactics of the P.L.O. are not an acceptable way of presenting the problems of Palestinian refugees. Israel .will not recognize these people under any circumstances. However, any delegation which actually represents the Palestinian refugees, will be more than welcome to aid in the solution of this problem. Any response to this letter will be �^welcome. my mind and *” Bitty Joel manipulation To the Editor. Before sunrise Tuesday morning, approximately twenty people stood eagerly in front of the chained doors of Squire Hall awaiting admittance in order to purchase the best available tickets to the Billy Joel concert which will be held November 30. As the hours past, the line grew meanderingly through the Haas Lounge, while Billy’s music played to the tune of enthused fans, vividly imagining a concert superior to that of last year’s phenomenal performance. Meanwhile, behind the closed doors of the Squire Ticket Office, UUAB officials were dividing up the majority of choice seats potentially available for sale to the weary yet dedicated fans, some of whom stood in line for seven hours. The basic point of the aforementioned events is to express our downright dissatisfaction with the manipulation by UUAB officials to satisfy their own personal desire to hoard good seats, when, in exil Shabat Moshe (Israel) A •VffF* Zionism attack specious V by Jay Rosen ,■?. -*th .

Moreover, local campus scuttlebutt has it that approximately ninety of the best tickets were dispersed among employees of UUAB. We can't seem to rationalize the fact that paid employees arc given additional compensation when the members of the student body themselves pay a mandatory fee to the tune of $67 to pay their stipend positions. The student employees have done a fine job at all past UUAB functions, however, there is little reason for student employees to dominate the first several rows of the Century Theatre.

I have to admit, I enjoy twisting myself around in print, and watching people’s faces for a reaction: Every once in a while, I get the urge to spill the beans, and write in my own handwriting rather than imitating this pseudo-intellectual scrawl. So what I’m saying is, I’ve been forging so many bad checks that everyone thinks I’m rich. Well, not everyone. What I’m revealing has more to do with this column’s path than its destination. It’s the way I’m getting there that is trickery, not where I’m going. Whatever portraits I’ve painted were my own, but the brush strokes were stolen from an artist infinitely more gifted than I.

You want others to bring the unborn to life, but you, yourself, refuse to make an attempt to contribute to such a valiant cause. What can be inferred from your neglect is that you probably don t want a child right now and you must assume that would be the attitude of a woman you might impregnate. If this be the case, then your own feelings, Mr. Sensefelder III, on the matter of feelings of those you are attacking. But, perhaps you may say the case of abortion is a different case. The fetus is already in existence to some extent and to prevent its birth is tatamount to murder. I will counter: your semen, too, is in existence to some extent and by not putting it to good use you are guilty of the same action (you might call it murder; I call it not heling to bring the unborn to term) by neglect. So, Mr. Senefelder HI, I say get with it! Start getting it on, or you’ll keep on getting it! existence for the unborn are much the same as the The Spectrum has shown just what it really knows about the City of Buffalo, the people who live, work, and pay taxes here, and its politics; absolutely NOTHING! The editorial “Dawn of Eve” made that perfectly clear. Let that be a lesson to you, never predict the winner in a contest which you know very little about. It is obvious you listened to only one side’s predictions. Allow me to use the structure of your editorial for a moment: At this time, Jimmy Griffin has won the election and he is carrying in a new era of progressive change into the office of mayor, the likes of which Buffalo has never seen before. He is the first minor party candidate to win the office of mayor. He will fight the “boss machine.” Jimmy Griffin has made known that Joe Crangle will play no part in his administration. Joe Crangle supported Eve for mayor. Perhaps for the first time in a long time, working people of Buffalo can literally dance in the streets because our man, a man we can really trust and fcxpect action from, a man who finds his roots in the working class (proletariat, as Karl Marx would say) 90immunity is Mayor. Also, Ultra bleading heart liberals will be forced to admit that a regular hard working Joe (or should I say ‘Jim’) can take care of Buffalo’s business and lead this city out of ruin. You went on to say that if Eve does not bridge this gap of the divisions of ethnic lines in this city, it . white elected officials and their will be because constituents will not support his programs and City Hall will become the scene of a political race war.” I did not know that you had a crystal ball and that Eve’s programs are all wonderful and if they do not work it would be because of the white people. Now that Jimmy Griffin has won, I believe then, that the shoe is on the other foot. You were right about race and religion being influential in American politics. Jimmy Griffin . profit. A huge commercial complex on the Amherst Campus may stimulate that area’s economy, but we at this University should stop and think for a minute at whose expense is the economy being stimulated? Answer: at the students’ expense. It’s not the fault of the specific commercial enterprises, they are what they are intrinsically. In order to derive profits from business, prices must be jacked up way over cost. The students who buy pay the price and take the loss. The complex as currently envisioned will do nothing to further the educational aims of this University. Education is, at least it should be, the primary goal of this school. At our fingertips is an incredible opportunity to better the quality of education for every interested student. Why not let students be involved in every phase and aspect of the planning and operation of Parcel B? Students study academics of one sort or another but in four years get little practical experience. Unfortunately academics do not sufficiently prepare us for life in the “outside world.” Experience and theoretical/ - Steve Knaster Never predict To the Editor. The plans for Parcel B (the proposed commercial mall at the Amherst Campus) as stated in The Spectrum, November 9, 1977, appall me, I cannot imagine the justification for placing a commercial development on a university campus. It’s done elsewhere, of course, but that hardly means we have to follow suit. Commercial establishments work for profit first and foremost! Any consumer needs are serviced only indirectly, only insofar as servicing those needs helps the ownership reap a bigger and better received 184 votes in the Masten District. As for the money part, Jimmy Griffin spent the least compared to the other major (Eve, Phelan, and Foschio [in primary]) candidates. Jimmy Griffin set a $500 limit on campaign contributions, whereas Eve received several in excess of $2,000, some of which were made by people out in Amherst. This brings us to another point: Jimmy Griffin had no big time politicians coming in from out of town to endorse him. Liberals like Mondale, Costanza, and Carey could not intimidate the voters. It was made known how easy it would be to get federal and state money (which Buffalo is rightfully entitled to, no matter who is mayor) if, and only if, (as if to literally buy votes) Arthur Eve would be mayor. The people of the City of Buffalo have spoken. We do not want a city income tax. We do not want New York City politics here in our city (note how the $500 million bond issue was defeated as if to tell Governor Carey we don’t like him or his spending). We do not need outsiders telling us who to vote for. I am sure that the bleeding heart liberals will now call Buffalo voters prejudiced because Eve was not elected. Well, note how we (myself included) voted in George K. Arthur and Herb Bellamy to the councilman-at-large positions. If you want to get a candidate elected, you need the people who campaign for him to be identifiable with the citizenry. How can a Chevy employee living in Riverside, a steel worker living in South Park, or a construction worker living on the West Side identify with Carey & Co.? They cannot, but they can identify with a railroad employee living in South Buffalo! Jimmy Griffin will be mayor for at least four years. Arthur Eve will continue to do well in the State Assembly. And, in January, with a new Common Council, the City of Buffalo will become a better place to live. classroom knowledge would be a much more realistic combination. Proper, thorough planning, careful supervision by qualified faculty and if necessary, outside “experts” and participating incentives for students including credit and financial aid could make it work. We have the talent in our midst: Economics students could prepare detailed analyses of the situation, and with assistance from qualified advisors, draw up guidelines that would help ensure the financial stability of the project. We have a large Engineering Department and the only Architecture and Environmental Design Department in the State University system. We also have a College of Urban Students interested in these areas could participate by Studies. becoming interns in the actual planning and design of the complex. Wouldn t it be nice to create a number of coops in which accounting and Management students could test their wings true in practical experience that is, as an added bonus, necessary for the University community? Students receiving financial aid or work-study could be offered the option of working in the student-run laundry-mat or in the proposed bank. (I do realize the complications that would arise from a student-run bank, so I won’t suggest that. It would be nice However, I’ll settle for student tellers and clerks.) Nutrition students could fulfill requirements for courses by working at a student-mn restaurant or two. McDonalds and Buiger King have already encroached upon us at Main Street. Must we enlarge their empires by renting them space on the very soil of the Amherst Campus? The proposed mini-theatre could be operated by students interested in Media Studies and Theatre and Film Management. The interiors of the stores could display artwork donated by Art students. This plan would give students exposure for their work and would make the mall a more pleasant place for us all. Rachel Carson College and others interested in recycling could be instrumental, in designing a comprehensive recycling program for the entire project. Bernard Broth man Perhaps the whole mall could be heated by solar power. I’m sure that the question foremost in the minds of all readers is money. In times of financial hardship where will the University get the money to finance such an operation? am I not a student of economics and cannot answer that question easily We do have economics students and professors of economics who might well play an important role in the solution of that problem. My words are the result of thought and hope. This letter is brief, considering the broad extent of the proposal. It should be regarded as an opening into a topic that is sorely in need of discussion. More detailed thought and thoroughly researched opinions would benefit all of us. We are bemg unfair to we give up before we have begun. Money is a problem,ourselves if a terrible problem that worries us all. But with dedication, intelligence honesty and forethought we can do it. * !! th Universit y’s (*»»■* Eludes all of us admin.stration, f faculty, students, employees) priorities are correct, we will find the money. If this is a University truely commited to education there can be no justification for the disregard of this viable alternative. The chance to apply learned knowledge to real situations the is most exciting aspect of education. We cannot afford to pass this opportunity by. - VUWTKBIKNQsI VdWiH fCftN, Monday, 14 November 1977 The Spectrum Page nine . . �Abed volunteers ** HZ ■ , '‘pySy t’ CAC —time and compassion _ The Community Action Corps (CAC) is a student run volunteer organization that works in the Buffalo community and is always in need of volunteers.

Now we have to try and build our numbers.” Forms not filled She also attributed the lack of volunteers to the volunteers themselves. “Our figures are not complete because past volunteers who are still working have not filled out volunteer forms,” she said. The volunteer form contains information regarding where the student lives and what area they work with. Bernstein was also concerned about the motives of some of the volunteers. “Teachers of health related classes are now requiring students to work up to 25 hours of volunteer time. Many of these students join CAC then drop out of our programs after fulfilling their requirement, not realizing they are harming the agency they are working at. These volunteers are truly needed and the drop out rate creates hardships that are difficult to overcome. Dedicated volunteers are different. They participate actively in their projects, think of new ideas all of the time. These are the people we need more of,” Bernstein added. Visible social group Director Mark Szupillo has positive ideas to alleviate these problems. As he sees it, “Part of the problem is visibility. We are now working very hard to increase our visibility to the student body. A lot of people see CAC and say, 'What is cack?’ Still other students hold that CAC volunteers are do-gooders. We are a club of students working toward positive social change.” Szupillo hopes students will realize that CAC is a social group. “Here is a place where students could do something and have a good time in the process, instead of sitting on their behinds,” he said. “The volunteers are out there, now we have to show them that here,” we are Szupillo commented. “We will take anyone interested in giving some time and compassion. Take, for example, the Creative Learning Projects, all it takes is four hours a week to give inner city children some help their school in projects. Volunteers get off campus and get to meet many other students with similar interests and at the same time help these children realize a promising school career, and not one of dismal failures. You can see the excitement on the children’s faces.” Optimistic future Students who do volunteer work do not have to spend any money being a volunteer. “We reimburse students for travel expenses and any other expenses necessary to their program,” Szupillo said. ‘The only thing a volunteer spends is their time.” CAC members are very about the optimistic organization’s future. “We have outlined our minor problems, and we are now working toward implementing the solutions,” Szupillo said. “It is just a matter of a few weeks, and we will be right on target.” SHARE THE RIDE WITH US THIS THANKSGIVING AND GET ON TO A GOOD THING.

This was the case at a recent helmet law protest within which read “Let Those Who Ride Decide.” One of the protesters explained that helmets have been proven ineffective and yet motorcyclists are forced to wear them by legislators who “don’t know what part of the bike to sit on” or by the public which “is going to tell us what’s good for us.” “Let Those Who Ride Decide” is based on the ideology of John Stuart Mill. He claimed the only reason for which a government can compel one to act or restrict one from acting against his will in a free society is to prevent harm to others. That is, free people should be able to do as they please provided no one else is harmed. On that basis, the — motorcycles. He also contends the Tenth Amendment states that the power to pass forced self protection laws was never granted to the government. The Massachusetts Supreme Court has maintained the rider is not the only party concerned. “From the moment of injury, society picks the person up off the highway, delivers him to a municipal hospital and municipal doctors, provides him with unemployment compensation if, after recovery, he cannot replace his lost job, and, if injury causes permanent disability, assumes responsibility for him and his family’s continued subsistence,” (Charles Simon v.

Looking ” " “ - ” ” What is Citizen’s Band (CB) radio and why is it so popular today? The citizen’s band radio craze steins from publicity the radios received during the truckers’ strike of 1974. Concern about the fuel shortage then was at its peak. Lines to purchase gasoline were of unbelievable length, and it became increasingly difficult to find gas stations that had fuel. Also, the 55-mile “double nickels” per hour speed limit was put into effect. This lower limit and difficulty finding fuel cost the truckers time and money. By using the CB, truckers were able to avoid possible “speed traps” and traffic tie-ups saving precious time. - Originally for emergency Truckers were also able to call ahead to see if there was a gas station up the road. During the strike, the truckers attempted to organize themselves through the CB. Originally, the government made provisions to establish 23 frequencies for CB use. Recently, the number of frequencies has been increased to 40, and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) plans to increase the number to 100, possible 115, to reduce the amount of overcrowding on the existing channels, foreseen if the demand continues to grow. At present, because of CB popularity, broadcasting can be a problem. Some officials worry that the CB will emergencies, etc. Other people, however, feel that CB’s are still effective for two-way communication, even though many use the CB only for a hobby. Many state police officials advocate the use of CB radios to help stranded motorists or to quickly report to the scene of an accident. Many patrol cats are equipped with CB’s to monitor channel 9, used for emergencies only. i Several volunteer organizations have formed to monitor CB channels. One of the largest organizations. Radio Emergency Associated Citizens Teams, has over 70,000 members nationwide. With the use and monitoring of channel 9, emergency response time can be drastically Fourteenth Amendment dted Davey points out that the Fourteenth Amendment protects from loss of liberty of life by legislation. He claims a clear loss pf liberty and also a loss of life, based on the statistics. He concludes that under Section One of the Fourteenth '1 Amendment, every person is guaranteed equal protection of the jaw. Davey argues no seatbelt law is in force because the American people do not want to wear seatbelts; motorcyclists object to mandatory helmets and .therefore are denied equal protection of the law. The court ij gnawers that an automobile affords much more protection than a motorcycle and therefore there is no grounds for claiming unequal protection of the law. Most protesters agree the best way to save lives is to prevent a goal that is best ;; accidents accomplished by driver education, - accidents are caused by negligent operation of automobiles. One helmet law fighter claims, “They would [insurance companies] rather encase us in a suit of so called protective armour rather than offend their customers.” Another expressed frustration that the government spends millions of dollars annually promoting helmets, instead of spending that money to educate automobile drivers who account for such a large proportion of motorcycle accidents. The other leading cause of fatalities is the motorcycle inexperienced rider. Part of the Highway Safety Act of 1966 stressed driver education To date there are programs. almost no schools offering motorcycle training. Again bikers point to the money spent on helmet promotion which could be used towards motorcycle safety, In the words of ABATE of Georgia, “Regardless of how much you wrap a skill in, if it doesn’t have something inside the skull, accidents will continue to occur and people will continue to die.” In another matter, helmet insurance industry acknowledge -“poUtlcal have protesters that 72 percent of all motorcycle ofthe automobile :J that a copy of FCC regulations must accompany each set. Some people, however, abuse these regulations. The FCC monitors and maintains 45 stations around the U.S. and tapes sample recordings of conversations.

University Police reports that quite a few CB’s were stolen from cars parked on campus in recent years. In order to operate a CB legally, it is necessary to obtain a operating license.

Energy efficiency was not incorporated into the design of the Amherst Campus, according to David Stieglitz, President of Environmental Design Associates. His firm has worked with energy for the past ten years, designed the new Channel 7 alternative energy building, and analyzed the structure of the buildings on the Amherst Campus. It’s a joke; ha, ha “Individual buildings were conceived in what I consider to be the most incredibly naive, worst possible way with regard to energy,” he stated. “It’s a joke. They had the right ideas in the firdt place but the political powers changed that. They decided to make it an architectural showpiece. Energy efficiency was a virtually zero concern in the master plan for Amherst.” Both Ellicott and Governors have single paned windows and large total surface area allowing heat to escape easily. The insulation is poor and the automatic thermostats are so near the windows that an interesting is created, according to Schwartz. If a window is opened, the heat goes up. Excess heat creates the need to open more windows as the temperature rises still further. This wasteful cycle could have been prevented, Schwartz claimed, by situating die thermostats in the center of the rooms where they could more accurately measure overall room cycle temperature. Stieglitz noted that if the were to spend the initial money to retrofit (re-design and re-equip the boilings to ensure efficient use of energy) the Amherst Campus, a 25 to SO percent energy savings could be realized in the first year. University University and in the rest of Erie County are being dicussed by the newly formed Citizen’s Energy Task Force, which had its first general meeting November 9 under the coordination of David Stieglitz and John Roberts. NYPIRG, Community Action Corps (CAC), Utility companies, consumer groups, a meteorologist, a librarian, architects, and a teacher are among the members of this citizen group. task force’s goals are to out together hashing work problem planning areas and Bassett is energy development in Erie County. “Instead of battling one another, we’re getting together to see where we can help each other out,” said Naffky. Coat a mint The University should have been the party responsible for the energy study in the first place, according to Naffky. “This is something that the University should be doing. They just don’t realize the savings involved,” she said. “The initial cost investment to improve will be really high the existing structures is going to cost a mint, but it’s better in the long run. The investment will be returned in eight or nine years.” “It has got to be done,” Schwartz added. “If it isn’t, the University is really going to suffer in the next few years.” David the new director of the Energy Office at Energy County Eric the Department and was present at the Task Force meeting. The task force hopes to aid him by acting as a concerned consumer and industry group to which he may turn for advice or resources. “We are there to give him whatever assistance he may need toward the development of workable energy policies,” said Naffky. “Right now, we’re feeling extremely optimistic. We are sure that through the cooperation and talented efforts of these energy experts, we can bring about substantial, viable solutions to the energy problem in the Western New York State region.” - Problems like these within the Students and faculty snarling computers Several students and faculty are avoiding proper programming procedure while using University computers causing the possibility of problems in the system, according to Director of University Computing Sciences, Walter M. Macintyre. These persons have been avoiding the Indiana Archiving Utility, which keeps the magnetic discs cleared of unnecessary and unused programs. The University Computer, a new Cyber 173, stores programs on magnetic discs. When the discs become full, the archiving system removes large or seldomly used programs from the discs and places them on magnetic tapes for storage. “At the moment, there is not much on the discs since we have a new computer with a lot of storage,” Macintyre said. “In the end disc storage would fill and we could buy more discs, but they are very, very expensive.” Macintyre insisted that students who think that nothing -will come of avoiding the archiving system are mistaken. A letter from Macintyre attached to all programs from the computer states “Anyone avoiding the archiving system or locking up a terminal port will be logged off the computer (not allowed to use the computer) and request for disciplinary action will follow.” Macintyre said, “The reason I am so hard nosed is because if everyone evaded the archiving system for a few weeks, it would hardly be noticed. If, however, we reach a point in the future, say by the end of the academic year, the disc would fill. Then people conforming to the rules would have their programs archived much more often. It would work hardships on someone else and that is anti-social.” State University of New York in cooperation with Dept of Education & Culture announces 1978 Twelfth Summer Academic program in Israel Earn up to 10 Undergraduate or Graduate Credit* Fur information write to: Director, SUNY Israel Summer Program State University College Oneonta, New York 13820 Monday, 14 November 1977 *n»e Spectrum Page thirteen . . �Libraries available —continued from • • phi 3— • but there were never Academic Affairs Thomas K. > Craine admitted; “We haven’t Van’s admission drives home received word from anybody as to the realization that an apparently what the status of Lockwood serious overcrowding problem is (Abbott Library] will be, with knowingly being worsened by regard to non-staffed study Students are space.’’ largely unaware of this.

However, because Psychology is one of the largest departments in the school and utilizes specialized laboratory equipment, it is very cumbersome to move. Renovation of another building for psychology would be financially limiting. Finding a space large enough at a university already burdened by critical space shortages would be a nearly Herculean task. Concern has also been raised about splitting the department and the animal lab facilities. c? ~ ‘ '*’■ f It s depressing The morale of the Psychology department is low, said one professor and there is more talk of leaving among faculty members than ever before. At least one faculty member is presently looking for another job, primarily because of the bad conditions and low expectations for their improvement. Psychology professor Jack Meacham feels that the Ridge Lea location has clearly hurt the quality of the department. “As soon as prospective faculty members see the campus, you lose them,” he said, adding that “no one wants to enter into the present situation.” “The quality of university life has been very much degraded this term relative to previous terms on the Ridge Lea campus,” Meacham stated firmly. “First, there are very few students around to talk with between classes. Students are an important part of contact with reality for many faculty members. “Second, one of the interesting aspects of being a faculty member is stimulating interaction with colleagues in the other social sciences. But the other social sciences are no longer on this campus. Third, primarily the branch of the the support services library that was here, and the cafeteria with the adjoining student lounge r- are no longer here.” Meacham continued, “the existing mini-cafeteria is depressing and closes at 1:30 p.m. There is simply no place left on this campus for people to get together and talk. It’s depressing.” Levy went to the office of Academic Affairs four or five months ago to explain the Psychology Department’s predicament. Representatives of Vice President Ronald F Bunn said it would be looked into. At a more recent meeting, Bunn showed Levy what had come of this work. All Amherst locations were ruled out, since this would mean displacing another department. A Main Street move would bring advantages of food, libraries and colleagues. However, the main undergraduate core is to be at Amherst, so a move to Main Street would still separate Psychology from the other social sciences and leave the .department out of the University main ' <v - jltream.. A decision must be made soon in order to allow ample time to renovate Main Street space by next fall. “I don’t know why it is taking thd administration so long to come to a decision,” said one concerned student, "Why is the Psychology Page . ... cafeterias.” All four previously mentioned administrators are sympathetic to the students* needs for maintained study facilities, yet they are resigned to the Libraries’ inevitable fate and departure, leaving students proverbially “out in the cold.” Vasi concluded that, “The spaces that the Library has control over are filled up and if more space is necessary, pressure should be put on Academic Affairs and Facility Planning.” Telfer, when informed of Vasi’s comment, said, “Everybody likes to pass the buck.” Well, the buck must stop somewhere, and in this case it’s being stopped at the expense of students. — Department so low on the University’s list of priorities? Ridge Lea doesn’t feel or look like a university. When are we getting out of here?” According to Staff Associate of Facilities Planning John Warren, Ridge Lea was leased from Merit Corporations in 1966. When fully occupied sometime after 196T, it consisted of 14 buildings, one of which is a small maintenance budding. The annual rental fee is approximately $1,350,000. Roughly $10.8 million has been spent on rental fees since 1966, he estimated. This year the rent will be approximately $].] million and with the continued phasing-out of the campus, will decrease to approximately $575,000 annually. Ridge Lea, once slated to be a shopping center and later turned into an interim campus, was only to be rented for five years. “At the time it offered a solution to a difficult problem of a university expanding more rapidly than normal campus construction procedure would permit,” Warren said. Because of die state fiscal crisis and the freezing of the bond market, the money was not available for construction. Thus, Ridge Lea is still being rented JO years later and its complete shut-down is not forseen much before 1982. The four buildings to remain at Ridge Lea house the departments considered the most difficult to relocate: the Computing Center (4250), Electrical, some Civil, and some Chemical Engineering (4232), Geology (4240), Statistical Science Lab, Survey Research Center and Psychology (4230). The Student Directory is expected to be made available to the University community either late this week or early next week, according to District Sales Manager of University Directories, Rick Alperton. Last year, the Directory came out in late October, and Alperton hoped that “this year’s Directory would come out atabout the same time,” he said. “It has spent the last six weeks at the printers, when it should have taken just three weeks to be printed.” Currently, University Directories has set no completion date. Merchants were told that it would be out by Thanksgiving, at the latest, Alperton said. The Student Directory is a publication of names, addresses, and phone numbers of students attending this University. Also included are listings of the organizations on campus and a “yellow page” section of approximately 150 different local merchants who have been solicited for advertisements. In charge of publication of the Directory is University Publications, a subsidiary of Sub-Board. This company was founded two years ago by former University student, Mark Teitlebaum. Through the course of publication this year, over fifty people have been employed and all, but one, are students at this University. Their salaries are paid for out of revenues from the advertisements of the local merchants, which also provides the funding for the entire publication. Work on the directory started in April of this year. Any student registered will have his name included in the Directory because student names are taken directly from the University registration lists, according to Alperton. “Students were giveil the chance early this semester to update any information that might have happened to be incorrect, such as address or phone number.” The Directory will be distributed in various buildings on campus, including the- dormitories and major halls where “the most student traffic is centered,” according to Alperton. Students are asked to pick up just one copy per person, to ensure that everyone obtains one. -Don Bartels Judge limits .TT™" great deal or money." bullet insisted that his intent in purchasing the News was not to monopolize the Buffalo market, and that in making the shift to Sundays and formulating the introductory offer, he fully expected the continued survival of the competing Courier.

Brieant contended that if Buffet did not expect to wield the power of a newspaper monopoly, then the News would have to double or triple its earnings in order to justify the $33 million price n “Can the forseeable future income of the Evening News, while the Courier yet lives, justify an investment of $33 million?” the judge asked rhetorically, in his ruling. “Haply, a Western New York jury will not think so,” he .. - answered. Hence, though he did not succinctly spell it out in his ruling, Brieant appeared convinced that Buffet fully expected to run the Courier out of business when he purchased the News for $33 million. “The deal was made,’* the Judge noted, “without inspecting the physical plant or conferring with the personnel who would continue the operations for the new owner.” Brieant contrasted this informational void with Buffet’s full knowledge of the relative financial positions of the two papers, and his “acute awareness” of the economic value of a newspaper monopoly. Buffet had earlier testified that Other departments unhappy monopoly papers are generally worth three times their annual gross Walter MacIntyre, director of the Computing revenues.” Ce 'ter, explained that this department will not be affected tremendously because there are four satellite terminals on the other two campuses, with trained professional consultants and student assistants. Even before he knew that Ridge Lea was to be evacuated, MacIntyre’s major priority was to improve these satellite sites. Chester C. Langway, chairman of the Geology Department, wants it to remain at Ridge Lea until permanent residence at Amherst has been obtained. During summer, 1975, the Geology department moved from the Bell Plant facility because of a serious drop ,in enrollment caused by its isolated location. It took a year to set up, and department officials don’t want to move first to another temporary location and then to Amherst, said Lang way. “I’m sorry that the rest of the people are leaving,” he commented. “Coming to Ridge Lea was great, the thought of moving again is dismal.” Geology’s enrollment has increased because of the move to the then more active campus. However, geology professor Charles Cazeau felt that isolation at Ridge Lea may cause another drop in enrollment. Cazeau requested a small laboratory at Amherst so that students woqld not have to go to Ridge Lea. “I made over twenty phone calls. 1 wrote letters and I got no response to my request,” he related. “When I went to the administrators they told me Facilities Planning had a space they could use at their discretion. Facilities Planning told me that it was a< myth, and that Physics and Biology had space. They said they didn’t, but would look into it Well, they looked as far as their armpits and that was it. I never heard from them. The loser is the student, as usual.” fourteen Tt» Sptctrum Monday, 14 Novambar 1977 . Department museum. That’s nice, but where are students there going certainly not in the to study ... priority list. Priorities have since shifted to areas such as Law, Biology, Pharmacy and English. Psychology is now ranked so low, that members of the department are faced with the sobering thought that the new building may not be completed for another 10 to IS years. Administrative officials here cannot speculate on target dates, given the precarious state of Amherst Campus construction funds. The department was not even mentioned in the State lUmdly Trustees priority listing. vk disadvantage. I've heard that in their place will be student activity or else the organizations, possibility of an Anthropology Directory of students soon to be distributed • *.**« Based on hearing testimony, Brieant concluded that the five week introductory period coincided with the heaviest advertising concentration of the year, the holiday season, when newspapers make up losses Incurred during slower months. Taken in this context, he termed the News' five week plan “clearly unreasonable.” “It would seem,” the Judge wrote, “that one or two free samplings would suffice.” He declared the “true purpose” of the five week plan to be “monopolistic.” The Judge appeared to have no doubts that the News, if left unregulated, would eliminate the Courier from competition. After a briefrecital of the Courier's shaky financial status. Brieant (wrote: “It is clear that the fall and winter months make the difference between profit and loss. No business can continue at a loss.” The Judge hinted that eliminating the Courier would not be a difficult task for the News under any circumstances: “The entire arsenal of anti-competitive tricks and devices need not be unlimbered to extinguish the *;• Courier-Express Thus the Judge felt that the Courier had indeed, shown that a “dangerous probability” exists that the News’ actions would lead to a ” monopoly. yjL, H response to other portions of the Courier suit, Brieant concluded that the News had not published “disparaging remarks” about the Courier. He ordered the News to inform its employees that it was not the Newi policy to offer jobs to Courier employees. The Courier had complained that the News was attempting to lure paperboys and advertising and circulation employees away by telling them their paper would soon be going out of business. Testimony concerning this claim showed that News management neither knew of, nor ordered such action. �CLASSIFIED rs^i AO INFORMATION diamond tunar, 6. 837-7627.'

Griffin himself refused to be so confident. His a-bit-too-early v victory speech during the primaries caused him to be hesitant. “I’ve heard that one before,” he raid when told that his chances looked good, “I want to wait until the numbers are all in.” With 50 percent of the results counted, Griffin said that he had no real disappointments. “We’re winning the districts we’re not supposed to be winning,” he said. When asked why he thought Eve was, not winning the districts he had been expected to ado, Griffin attributed it primarily to the two candidates’ records in matter of -— Conservative Party candidate James D. Griffin, a loser in the September 8 Democratic Primary, was the winner of the six-way mayoral election Tuesday night. The State Senator captured 55,752 votes, giving him 42 percent of the votes cast in Buffalo A smiling Griffin arrived at the Peace Bridge Exhibition Center to greet his supporters soon after the 9 p.m. closing of the polls. Returns flooded in causing people to press closer to the platform where Griffin stood waving and nodding as the votes were tabulated. Anticipation in the crowd ran high as the first district returns posted showed Griffin holding close to 50 percent of the vote. Cheers filled the dosely packed, smoke-filled room as each victory was announced. Luck of the Irish Griffin supporters felt the victory early. Comments from the pr e d o mina t e 1y-green-apparelled crowd included, “It’s only a Albany. ' Seeingrecords “All you have to do is look at our records in Albany,” he said, “and what little money we’ve used on the campaign, we’ve used wisely.” The election of Griffin to the post of Mayor of Buffalo means that his longtime foe, Democratic Chairman of Erie County, Joseph Crangle, will have a rough fight for his already avowed re-election bid as chairman. Griffin does not predict the outcome of that -i election. “We’ll have to see what happens when he runs again,” he said. Griffin announced his victory at 12:36 a.m. He thanked his supporters for waiting so long, but, he said, “I want to make sure what we’re saying hare tonight will stick.” He related, “We have fought, a good fight... and have kept the faith.” Griffin thanked the people who supported him, specifically pointing to the work of Alfrieda > - ; Slominski, County Comptroller, Shirley Stolarski, the and re-elected councilman of the Fillmore District Griffin finished by saying that he has no doubt that Buffalo can pull itself together. “This city has always been a city of good neighbors,” he said. “and we’re going to make it better.” The South side Mayor-elect was the only major contender who ran his campaign locally, without the support of out-of-city political figures campaigning on The Sdectrum Vol. 28, No. 32 State University of New York at Buffalo his behalf. The Griffin victory on the Conservative ballot has represented biggest the Conservative Party victory in the state since the 1970 election of former senator James L. Buckley. Friday, 11 November 1977 Spring target date New ID cards slated to include by Danny Parker Campus Editor New permanent ID cards should be reissued by the start of the spring semester containing signature and birthdate, according to an Ad Hoc ID Card Committee report. The Committee, comprised of students and administrators, estimated it will cost the University approximately $17,000 to issue new cards. The report is currently in Executive Vice President Albert Somit’s office awaiting final approval. The Committee unanimously approved the inclusion of a signature on the card. Date of birth, “which most clearly involves our undergraduate population who critically need proof of age for on-campus activities,” according to the report, will be an optional inclusion at the students’ request. University Police have volunteered to perform the validation function of birthdates when ID’s are issued. According to Charles Brunskill, the University Police representative on the Committee, “Students requesting date of birth will have to establish their birthdates through legally acceptable documents such as a driver’s license or birth certificate. It is a serious addition in that we are legitimizing a document. I would also like to set up a booth at the ID line to validate birthdates, where we already issue parking permits.” More added The Committee also voted to identify professional school students by constituency. Specifically, “Instead of issuing ‘Pro,’ the card will show Med., Dent., or Law." Grad, DUE and MFC arc already identified on the old ID. Another new inclusion on the back of the card should be that of important student life telephone numbers, according to the Report. Telephone numbers of Sunshine House, Student Association, Graduate Student Association, University Police, Law School Government, and Millard Fillmore College Student Association, arc recommended to be added. The report’s final addition for the card is that should be allocated for a Student Elections/Activities sticker. This recommendation space birthdate, signature stems from the Committee’s belief that “the ID card should not be mutilated by punching holes into it.” Remove info Some deletions from the current ID will also be made, according to the Report. The Housing sticker space and the Food Service sticker space are among the deletions. The Report stated, “Food Service sticker space is recommended to be removed as they presently (Food Service) issue their own identification for board contract” Somit termed the Report quite good, but said, “The critical question is the practical problem of implementation. We are studying how rapidly we could issue a new card, and we are examining the spring semester target date.” The Report emphasizes stating, “Due the problems of to time constraints, putting the card out for bids could jeopardize its timely implementation.” The Committee did entertain discussion on the permanent nature of the card. “It was pointed out some controversy could exist f6r those students whose name changed while enrolled. A majority of the Committee felt that as long as the student followed the proper procedures of filing a name change at A&R (Admissions and Records), the University should incur the cost of providing a new ID," according to the Report. Constant monitoring Other discussion of a long-term card included the problem of libraries identifying students. The Committee discussed the feasibility of using computer bar-codes for purposes in addition to Library use. According to the Report, “The Committee was unable to seek the technical advice needed to learn whether current computer hardware would be programmed for such usage.” The final recommendation by the Committee is that “the Committee members be advised of any content or design changes necessitated through stipulations either contract or production problems.” The Report stated, “Because of both the widespread publicity the current ID card received, and our extensive efforts at involving student input, we feel obliged to monitor the card’s situation from the time it is approved by your (Somit’s) office to its issurance.” to cl eck medic incom Supplemental incomes of teaching physicians at this University may be regulated by the State Audit and Control Department because of the apparent lax control of these outside earnings by officials here. According to Vice President of Health Sciences, Dr. Carter F. Pannill Jr., the medical faculty’s bargaining agent. United University Professions (UUP), is currently negotiating with University officials to draw up guidelines in accordance with the order received last April to implement tighter controls on private practice incomes. The controversy over outside incomes began in 1961 when Medicaid and Medicare were first introduced, according to Pannill. “The adoption of these health care programs meant that there were no longer any medically indigent persons, and therefore the operations that had been previously gratuitous in the teaching profession now began to generate an income,” he said. It is the auditor’s current stand that control of outside income be mandatory where state-owned facilities are used, because the state must be reimbursed for their use when the physician is not working on University time. The School of Medicine currently “does not exercise any control over the private practice of its faculty,” the auditors have contended. State facilities used? The issue is complicated by the fact that, unlike other Medical Schools, this University has no state-owned teaching hospital. The faculty use county or private hospitals for teaching and for private practice. According to Pannill, the medical professors contend that since they do not use state facilities, they should not have to reimburse the state. Other matters could also influence the negotiations now going on, according to Pannill. The faculty of the Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn has brought a lawsuit against the state claiming that the state has no right to regulate their private incomes. Pa nill commented, “This will probably be appealed and may take years before a final decision is reached.” University physicians receive a maximum of $45,000 in state salary, and are allowed to earn 75 percent above this, approximately $35,000, in outside income, according to the auditors. “This is roughly one third to one half what they would make in the same position in private practice,” said Pannill. “They are allowed supplemental income so that the University can bring in and retain an excellent teaching staff,” he said. Pannill said, “Since there is no written agreement to date, I do not have the right to audit their earnings.” He added that the negotiations were approximately half completed and would probably be completed by this winter. Terry Martin - �Cudek takes care of maintenance backlog Students complaining about sluggish Kindling of maintenance problems are often unaware that the problem is being appropriately handled, according to Director of Housing Operations Richard Cudeck. The amount of time taken for a repair is related to the complexity of the problem, he said. For example, a broken window takes longer to fix than a broken lock or a leaky faucet. If a special part is needed, the repair might take longer. Cudek noted that work orders may be lost in handling, or there might be a delay if demand for service is heavy. “With the work force we have, it’s sometimes difficult to keep up.” Still, student complaints persist. One angered resident of Spaulding complained that the bathrooms and lounge areas are not being cleaned regularly. “The place is disgusting,” he said. “There are thousands of dead flies in the lights. They’ve probably built up over the years.” The Custodial Services staff handles about 3000 problems a month, Cudek said, including garbage removal and general cleaning. The staff services the residential areas and all of the Ellicott Complex. Offices are located in Clement basement, Roosevelt Hall and Spaulding building four. Cudek urges students who feel that their complaints are not being handled quickly enough to inform their resident advisor (RA) and request that another work order be issued. If Custodial Services cannot handle the problem, it will be referred to Central Maintenance, and an appropriate tradesman will be assigned. Central Maintenance is equipped to handle nearly any problem, Cudek added. - Bridging the gap Special programs highlight annual Third World Week Sister Janice McLaughlin, an —. who was the by Rhodesian government for her of the Zimbabwe support National Liberation Forces and Pablo Gustavino, a representative of the Chilean Resistance Movement, will highlight the aMBBttfenwiiVl ; TLiU hi u (■“"’.CO*" v* Qft ff ° The Bay Area review of North American migrant and off-the-wall literature *;V '•'.r RENEGADE •. illl AVAILABLE NOW AT Everyman’s Bookcoop - 3102 Main St. 'iml-.il organized by the Third World Student Association (TWSA) at this University.

After amsiderable debate, carried on mostly in The Spectrum between Lev and newly elected SA President Dennis Delia, the “Leverendum" came to a vote. Opponents maintained the Leverendum was possibly illegal and certainly impractical, while Lev claimed that he would finally bring student government to all the students. The issue boiled down to an at times ruthless battle of intellects between Lev and Delia. Although the Leverendum was eventually rejected by a 2 to 1 margin, Delia’s image emerged somewhat tarnished from its first real test. This was all five months ago. Editor's note: This is the second in a series of articles focusing on off-campus student housing and the rights of tenant, landlord and ’ neighbors. by Denise Stumpo Feature Editor Have you been awakened little feet? Have you found raisins though you toast in your purchased plain bread? It would be convenient if these problems could be blamed on the landlord or the dwelling but, except in extreme cases, the tenant is legally responsible for rodent and pest infestation. “If you have roaches, it’s your own fault,” said Vince Burkard, Housing Specialist at University Community Center Heights (UHCC). Roaches only appear where there is dirt and filth. Tenants are required to keep the property in a clean and sanitary condition, under the City of Buffalo Housing and Property by Jay Rosen Managing Editor Midway through an otherwise mundane Student Association (SA) Senate meeting, the twenty-five senators present turned their attention to an ordinary pink sheet of paper with the familiar SA logo on the top and the initials DD on the bottom. In the middle of the page were the underlined words It was not a mere technicality CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT that was to be amended nor was it wholesale revamping of the student government. The amendment sought to add to Article VIII of the Student Association Constitution the following passage: Section 3: By simple majority the Student Senate has the power to prevent the initiation of a general referendum by petition of10 percent of the regularly enrolled undergraduate students when shown the referendum is unreasonable or cannot be implemented. - - * * Code. This is the time of year that mice are scurrying about looking for warm winter homes, Burkard noted, adding that on recent house inspection tours he has witnessed many exterior doors wide open, welcome mats to the furry creatures. The tenant is also accoutable for any property damages rodents may render. * Most of the senators had read the amendment before the proverbial gavel was pounded to open the meeting. It had been the general topic of conversation in the small, smoke filled Squire Hall room as those present waited for enough of their colleagues to appear so that a quorum could be declared. The amendment was Number 4 on the meeting’s agenda. Numbers 1 through 3 went fairly quickly. The chairman of the meeting, Jeff Lessof, turned to SA President Dennis Delia who would introduce topic Number 4. As Delia carefully picked hisjjjirases in describing the amendment’s intent, a single monosyllabic word hung in everyone’s mind and hung in the atmosphere of the room itself. That word was Lev. After a brief oration concerning the purpose of the motion, Delia, following the procedure set down in the SA Constitution, entered a motion that would bring the amendment before the Senate at the next meeting The motion was seconded and, technically, no further action or discussion was required. There was an uneasy tension in the air.

The blame was placed on absentee landlords who didn’t maintain and repair their properties. Burkard carries a small stack of blue violation cards with him and stops his car to deliver one if he high weeds or grass, notices unkept yards or loose garbage while driving down a street. “Where there are long lawsn, there are usually students,” he generalized.

Assemblyman Arthur O. Eve lost the election last Tuesday evening. Jimmy Griffin is this City’s new mayor. A conservative, tenacious bulldog will now run City Hall and college students may suffer because of Griffin’s victory. I wonder if you voted on Election . Day. ■. I was driving down Abbott Road in the heart (mine was later to be broken) of Jimmy Griffin country about 9 p.m. on Election night. Abbott Road was deathlike quiet. A portable flashing sign in front of a taco shop had been turned off. Yeah. Jimmy Griffin is already conceding the election to A rthur Eve. Actually, every Irish person from South Buffalo I’m not talking about blood and his brother was at Griffin’s headquarters at the Peace brother Exhibition Center. Bridge A TV reporter from Channel 7, Tom Van Howe, told me the station was about to project Griffin as the winner in the race. I began to wonder if Eve, whom I believed in and stood up for, would truly win this night. •- , - - Buffalo Bog The Convention Center was smoky, foggy, choking and everyone seemed to be drinking beer. Griwin stood on a large, raised podium tucking in his shirt and pulling up his pants and tightening his belt. He shook hands with his supporters and smiled. A few of The Spectrum’s city staff writers stood on a sort of balcony where there was air instead of smoke to breathe. A rock band played “Roll Over Beethoven” which was written by Chuck Berry. We all stood and muttered about the smoke flowing from these bastard conservatives’ lungs. Arthur Eve couldn’t lose, could he? I think I cut myself on the rusty iron balcony. Someone shut the doors and we left because we may have died from the smoke. You have to understand we were fearful because we were unable to see the fire. Yet there was this smoke. The man who closed the door looked at the - college students who were standing on the balcony and seemed to blame them for letting the air in. Near the car, I kept yelling “Eve!” on the top of my lungs. Driving down Niagara Street towards Eve Headquarters, the car behind us kept sounding its horn for Jimmy Griffin. So we began to toot ours, Photographer Dave Coker pulled out an Eve poster he had taken from one of the polling places. Coker had wished to produce a picture from an assemblage of Eve and Griffin posters. This means war Instead he rolled down the window. The car slowed to let the other car near us. As they closed in, Coker pulled out the Eve poster and waved it at the Griffin supporters mockingly. Those in the other car thought we were Griffin backers since we responded to their toots in kind. When the viewed the Eve poster they chased us down Niagara Street and around Niagara Square a few times. We began to wonder why Eve was losing. Yeah, because of the racist vote. Or because the number of votes tallied by the Republican, John Phelan. Or because of Griffin’s weekend media blitz which charged Eve with slanderous activities. Or because this city of Buffalo was too blue collar conservative to elect a black, liberal mayor. Or all of these. S-peaches Eve’s Headquarters was mobbed by hundreds of supporters and everyone’s closeness to each other made the place feel very Equator steamy. Each was still hopeful. Activist Bruce Beyer was there. So was former Channel 7 hippie Marty Schorr. Newsweek was there, as was a little black girl holding Eve balloons and wearing Eve buttons. Then Eve conceded the election to Jimmy Griffin. Someone kept saying, “We ain’t lost yet.” Yelling; “We ain’t lost yet!” Hoping: We ain 't lost yet. Eve soothed us ail with his victory speech. The speech won everyone. All was deathlike quiet. All believed in unity and that there would be another chance for Arthur Eve and for Buffalo somewhere over the rainbow. Amen. Buffalo still has Eve in Albany. 1 realized this but kept shaking my head. Maybe we should give Mayor Griffin a chance. Page four The Spectrum Friday, 11 November 1977 . . ELECTION Republicans take majority in Erie County Legislature by Jim Neill Staff Writer a Republicans captured of the seats the Erie in majority County Legislature and made strung inroads in the Buffalo Common Council in Tuesday’s elections. The GOP now owns 11 of the Legislature’s 20 seats, with one elected official remaining undeclared as to her party affiliation. GOP candidate William L. Marcy, a graduate of Colgate University in 1959, won a close race in the city’s Delaware District over Democrat Alfred T. Coppola. Marcy, who was understandably overjoyed when he made his victory speech at Republican headquarters at the Statler Hilton, received 7,175 votes to Coppola’s 6,470. Conservative Party candidate Donald L. Mix garnered a total of 955 district votes. The Republicans had .afso hoped to gain a victory in the race for the three councilman-at-large seats, but fell short despite strong showings by their candidates. Democrat Ellicott councilman George K. Arthur led this race for the four year term council Spectrum positions with 54,581 tallies. He was followed by fellow incumbent Democrats Richard K. Okoniewski, 50,069 votes; and Herbert L. Bellamy, 44,744 Republicans Albert J. Hausbeck drew support from 42,732 voters, while Christine E. Nowak and John Evans received 40,962 and 39,221 respectively. Donkeys Another close race was found in the city’s North District where income tax consultant Daniel T.

There were other complaints about the Buffalo political climate. “We (Liberals) don’t go for the backdoor political deals preclude that the electoral NIGHT *77 process. Our role is to stop those practices,” a spectator related. DA In the race District for Erie County Attorney, the incumbent Edward Cosgrove, was easily re-elected on Tuesday. Cosgrove, the Democrat-Conservative candidate, easily out-polled his Joseph Mintz, the opponent, Republican-Liberal candidate. Cosgrove ended up with 63 percent of the vote to Mintz’ 37 percent. Despite early unfavorable did indications, Mintz not concede defeat until late into the night. Mintz said that he had expected support from traditional Democratic areas, particularly Cheektowaga and Buffalo’s West Side. However, such support did not eventuate. The campaign was marked, at times, by controversy. Just last week Mintz accused Cosgrove of to drum up trying support through the investigation of the death of an Erie County police officer, Cosgrove had said that he would stop his campaign to help in the investigation, but he made no comment on the charge. In his victory speech Cosgrove said that his record was the main reason for his being elected once again. “I have tried to be the best district attorney hrie County has ever had,” he said. In the race for the University District Council seat, incumbent (D-L) Eugene Fahey easily defeated Dann Reece (R-C), 9,740 to 3,749. Reece who is a student at this University, was making his first run at public office. Republican candidate After the election John J. Phelan, Republican candidate for Buffaly mayor, didn’t win the election Tuesday, but no one at Republican Headquarters in the Statler Hilton Hotel last night seemed to mind. Certainly not Thomas MacKinnon, Erie County Republican boss and Phelan’s political mentor. MacKinnon sat at the podium at the Statler, with his wheelchair and ever present smile looking for all the world like Franklin D. Roosevelt. By 10 o’clock, an hour after the polls had closed, MacKinnon was publicly predicting that Conservative James D. Griffin would win, without a trace of despair in his voice He was also publicly confiding that Arthur Eve “counted out was At the same time, across the hall in Democratic Party headquarters, Democratic county boss Joseph Crangle was insisting that “my figures show Eve winning.” Frank Stans, who ran the proceedings at the Republican headquarters, was concurrently saying, “The people who called Arthur Eve a winner are wrong, Arthur Eve is not a winner.” Stans also felt Griffin to be victorious early in the night. , no tears at Republicans take Legislature Perhaps the reason the Republicans weren’t too unhappy is that they already knew their candidate f»helan could not win. Perhaps it was because, early ahead of the on, Phelan was running strongly Republican affiliation in some districts. Perhaps it is - because the Republican’s gained control of the Erie County Legislature for the first time since 1971. Or perhaps it’s because it looked like Arthur Lve was going down to defeat. In any case, the crowd at the Golden Ballroom of the Statler Hilton, and it was a small crowd as compared to the throngs at Eve or Griffin headquarters, was anything but emotional. They cheered happily but without any great enthusiasm as Stans announced the Republican victories in the county legislature.elections. Work with Griffin When at 12:35 Pfielan appeared to make his obligatory concession speech he was greeted warmly butVwithout excessive zeal. In his short dignified speech, which lacked the emotion of Eve’s concession, he thanked his family and campaign workers, thanked MacKinnon and praised him as a “great man,” said that “The People have spoken” and asked his supporters to accept the People’s decision. Phelan congratulated Eve on a “beautiful speoehr2 referring to Eve’s concession which had been made a few minutes earlier. He congratulated Griffin on his victory and asked the people of Buffalo to work with the new mayor in the next four years. For himself, Phelan pledged to “continue to work for Buffalo” and made a “commitment to continue working as a private citizen.” Phelan was very calm during the speech, not at all emotional. It looked like he had expected to make that speech all along. When the final results were in, Phelan had accummulated 33,645 votes, or 25 percent of the vote, 22,000 tallies behind the winner, Griffin. - by Joel DiMarco Staff Writer Spectrum On Wednesday, possibly the most important mayoral race in Buffalo’s history was decided. In the old downtown Grant’s store the crowd “Believed in Eve.” And in the early hours of an unusually warm November morning, his supporters emerged shocked and disappointed.' Indications that all was not well started an hour and a half before the polls closed. At that time, the call went out for volunteers to troop door-to-door in the Ellicott, Masten, Fillmore and University districts to get the vote out. Poll watchers were indicating that voter turnout in these strongly Eve supporting districts was below the 90 percent that John Phelan’s headquarters by Andy Nathanson Spectrum Staff Writer The final hour: no dawn for liberal Arthur Eve was being counted upon. Charts were set up on the wall, one for each district. The order of the names on the charts showed the order of importance the Eve people gave to the candidates. They read Eve . . . Griffin . . Phelan . . Turchiarelli in descending order. At 9 p.m. the polls closed and the room became a sea of people. Televisions had been set up, one for each of the local channels and they all prominently featured President Carter to a crowd that could hardly be less interested. The sound on these televisions was turned down, unheard by the crowd throughout the night. . . ... Optimism By now the room was filled with the voices of Eve’s supporters. Some had been working since 5:00 that morning. Some had Spanish accents, some black and still others proudly displayed Buffalo Teachers Federation hats. They talked about their day’s work, ate, relaxed and waited. At 9:30 p.m.. Reverend L.T. Boyd announced “we are going to win” to a wildly cheering crowd. What those cheers did not know was that by this time about a quarter of the votes showed Griffin with a substantial lead, a lead which he was not to relinquish. Still, the crucial Ellicott, Masten and Fillmore districts had yet to report. Eve Country. For the next hour the cheerful atmosphere remained unchanged. By 1 1 p.m. Phelan had all but conceded the election but even this was kept from the crowd. The vote charts on the wall remained blank. The question in the crowd’s mind was plain: Where is Eve? By 1 I 30 p.m. the University district had been soundly taken by Griffin Cigarette smoke had turned the room into a stage three smog alert. Outside, the too often deserted Mam Street was mobbed with people. Pandemonium At 12 p m. all hell broke loose. A few people noticed that the returns from the Ellicott, Masten and Fillmore districts were on the televisions. The numbers showed that Eve hatf won all three districts. The crowd went wild as they thought they had won. What they didn't know was that the votes were not enough. Rev. Boyd’s attempts to calm the crowd went largely unheard. Fifteen minutes later Fve appeared before a cheering crowd. The smile the throng was expecting on his face was noticeably absent. The news of defeat came in the form of a prayer from Rev, Boyd. The shocking line was, “We accept God’s will, though we have lost" Moans and some tears ran through the crowd. Eve’s statement to the crowd was brief. Fie told the crowd not to despair. “Let us not lose the unity that we have gained. Let us thank God for bringing us together.” Fie added that people should not lose this unity and use it to make a new major of Buffalo and be mindful of their needs. Walk out of here proud,” he concluded Friday, 11 November 1977 . The Spectrum . Page five �Safety questioned Motorcycle helmets: facts surrounding the myth Editor's note: This is the second in a scries of articles questioning the safety of motorcycle helmets. by Paul Antonik Staff Writer Spectrum Motorcyclists are often envisioned without driving helmets, ending up with crushed skulls and scattered brains. Some studies have been shown that helmets arc at best worthless and potentially harmful. Can the anti-helmet law people rationalize this? Roger Hull of Rnud Rider Magazine claims people have been brainwashed into helmets believing are beneficial. “Sometimes I think minister, Hitler’s propaganda Joseph Goebells was right,” Hulll said. “Repeat even the most outlandish lie often enough for long enough and people will come to regard it as the truth.” Research has yielded some ■, concrete answers as to why helmets are not as safe as people think. On top of all this, only medium size helmets are tested k and approved. Ed Armstrong, engineer, ABATE of Illinois, testified before a Congressional Committee that helmets are incapable of withstanding impacts above 3.5 mph. The results of his research were duplicated in independent tests done at universities which found that in order for helmets to withstand a mere 25 mph impact th«y S&lu, 170 JK man would require 6 inches of carefully designed material of the type now being used and would weigh 10 to 12 lbs. standards set by law (USDOT News, Oct. 12.1972).

Helmets decrease hearing capabilities by 6 to 8 decibels (db.), an amount the National Highway Safety Traffic Administration (NHTSA) of the helmets induce a false sense of in . some security ridprs. Temperatures within a helmet can reach 130 degrees, increasing the chance of heat fatigue (Road Rider July 1975).

The chin strap on a helmet was chillingly compared to a “hangman’s noose” in a U.S. Naval study. The report states death can occur in either instance in the same manner. Most riders agree, however, that the helmet is beneficial in cold or wet weather. It is also of benefit in competition where the rider does not have to hear or look for traffic and where the accidents are usually not of direct impact type (i.e. most mishaps involve falling off the bike or colliding with a bike moving in the same direction). James State Tranquil), Coordinator for the New York Motorcycle Rights Organization, presented much of this evidence to the Committee on Public Works and Transportation of the House of Representatives. He with appeared a briefcase containing 10,000 pages against helmets. “They have been prepared by doctors, attorneys, constitutional cases we have a good case,” said Tranquill. “It is a matter of, do we have the money and can we take your time to present it?” Considering all of this, one can understand the frustration expressed by Ed Armstrong, ABATE of Illinois: “Why do they (the government) spend millions of dollars a year frying to get us to wear helmets?” Is the answer a better designed helmet? Better designed (if possible) but not mandatory was the response at a recent helmet law protest. The protestors answered, “Let those who ride decide!” challenge.

Has its rise in price affected the in consumption United States? Americans drank 17 percent less coffee in the first three months of 1977 than in 1976. Coffee consumption actually reached its peak of 40 gallons per capita in the early I960’s and has declined by about 25 percent in the last 15 years. “The price of coffee is outrageous,” lamented Marie Karasman, a suburban homemaker. “When will the prices The Columbian drop?” government recently fined ten exporters SS million on charges of withholding 180,000 sacks from the world market while awaiting higher The Brazilian prices. government has fixed the export price st $3.20 a pound, resulting in a four month standstill. Green coffee prices on the international market currently range from $1.55 to $1.60. While coffee demand has declined in the United States, it is soaring in other parts of the world and total demand is on the rise. European Currently countries consume two-thirds of the world’s coffee exposts, and this country consumes most of the remaining third. Brazil produces one-third of,, the world's coffee and one-fifth of that which the United States consumes. The severe frost of 1975 destroyed or seriously damaged one-half of the country’s three billion coffee bushes. The civil war in Angola and the earthquake in Guatemala reduced world exportation production for the 1976/77 season by about 20 per cent. Before the Brazilian frost, the export tax on \ 1 32 pound bag of coffee was $i0. In December 1976, the tax rose to $100 a bag. Extra tax revenue is being used to help revive coffee production, to the Brazilian according government. Other countries have taken this lead; in August 1977 the Guatemalan export tax rose to $ 122 for a 100 pound bag. Brazil has planted higher-yield bushes to replace those that were destroyed by the frost. It will take about three years before they arc capable of bearing fruit. Many farmers have switched to faster growing crops, such as soybeans, for a ready source of income. This may reduce future coffee bean production. Coffee prices are related to the price American coffee roasters pay for their green, unroasted beans, and competitive conditions among the roasters. Presently four supply three-fourths of the coffee sold in retail stores. The capacity of General Foods (Maxwell House, Maxim, Sanka, Yuban, Brim), Proctor A Gamble (Folger’s), (Nescafe, Nestle Taster’s Choice, Decaf), and Hills Brothers to advertise heavily and offer temporary discounts has been steadily driving the small roasters out of business. roasters Good to the last drop?

The Spectrum Page seven . �EDITORIAL Thinking on the Eve To the Editor. The right direction It appears that the ID Card Committee has finally the jettisonned seemingly endless bickering and charge/countercharge groveling that preceded its inception and at times pervaded its procedings, by formulating a viable solution to the enigmatic ID card problem. By calling for the inclusion of students' date of birth and signatures on the card, the Committee has taken two bold steps in the right direction. Firstly, in recommending changes it has admitted that decisions made by administrators (last year's committee) were not infallible. Secondly, it has taken the necessary actions to make the ID card an item which serves the students' purposes, as well as the University's. The Committee, chaired by Director of Orientation Joe Krakowiak and Student Association Executive Vice President Andy Lalonde, should be applauded and commended for its perspicacious decisions and swift action. Had we been accorded this type of efficiency last year, when the responsibility for handling the card was being tossed like an unwanted child from one department in the University to another, the Committee's actions would certainly not have been necessary. ' * . The crucial burden of decision now rests in the lap of University Vice President Albert Somit. Somit does not have to accept the Committee's recommendations and it is certainly within the realm of his power to reject or alter the Committee Report. However, it is evident that the time and effort that the Committee has put into the problem, has born fruit. It has considered both the students' needs and the University's scant resources. We implore Somit to accept the decisions handed him by the Committee and to implement them expediously. Only in this manner will the new cards be made available to students at the beginning of the Spring semester. Prove us wrong Count us among the surprised when James Griffin captured the Buffalo mayoral race Tuesday. What he can do to unify the city and reverse its slow slide to an urban graveyard remains to be seen. We are willing to grant the conservative Griffin the benefit of the doubt, though we must admit, we find it hard to dismiss racism as a factor in his victory. Griffin's triumph can only mean a reaffirming of the notion that Buffalo is basically a blue-collar working class town, and a significantly conservative one at that. But we are not quite prepared to write off the city of Buffalo because of Griffin's triumph, as many would have it. So congratulations, Mr. Griffin. We urge you to pull the many communities of Buffalo together for more than football games and blizzard heroics. Prove us wrong in not supporting your election bid, and we'ir welcome you with open arms. The Spccii^iiM Vol. 28, No. 32 Friday, 11 November 1977 Editor-in-Chief Brett Kline - Managing Editor John H.

Arthur Eve, Buffalo embraced you with open arms, but forgot to vote. Buffalo had its choice, Mr. Kline, and they decided it at the polls. Your Editorial (Nov. 9) shows your lack of experience in elections. The game is never over to the last out. In Eve’s case, his team never came out to bat in the bottom of the 9th. The result, Jimmy Griffin is the new Mayor of Buffalo. Joseph Cascio Housing frats To the Editor This is being written in regard to the article of November 7, written by Mike Niman on housing. The article was inappropriately titled: “Fraternities dorm-bound? Fear of setting precedent.” Six of the twelve paragraphs contained in the article mentioned housing. The other half of the article addressed itself to the author’s obvious prejudice against the Fraternities. If an article is to be written on housing problems, pertinent questions should be asked. Some examples may be: Which Fraternities are considering moving into the dorms? Which of the Greeks already have housing? How many students would it involve? How do other campuses handle the problems of Fraternities moving back on campus; in relation to housing? Who is able to negotiate for dorm space? Would Fraternities be able to negotiate for housing as do the colleges? An article written in this vein would have been much more informative offered some possible solutions or alternatives rather than just problems and would have been more relevant to the title. Mr. Niman should have thoroughly investigated the problem before writing this article or redirected his focus through the use of a different title. . k In answer to several allegations made by Mff Niman and his unnamed sources, where did you get your information? First of all, SUNY trustees made the decision to allow Greeks back on campus after extensive studies, one of which was done by SASU, a student organization represented on this campus. SUNYAB was allowed to set up their own guidelines for allowing Greeks to return to this University. Secondly, the decision to allow Greeks to return was - . * Most of you know (or try to ignore) who I am, and will imagine this to be out of character. No Music. Yet, it is certain, above all else, that whatever forces chose Mr. Griffin over Mr. Eve this Tuesday past, the majority of us danced to the same tired tune that has ever dictated the actions of this reality, be it Buffalo, or whatever. Those of you who did it, did it. Your music. Not of the new day’s hope, but complacent.fear. The fear varies, of course, from the Attica stand, to the open religious visage, to color and reasons many lacked the guts (or the reasons) to voice while the patronizing clapping blanketed the media overview (is it convenient to let anyone run? walk?). The disservice (and this disservice is one to Mr Griffin, as well. In some ways, he is the worst victim) is that, as it was in the 1972 Presidential election, a candidate was chosen NOT for his good or bad actions and potentials, but because one was projected (whether true or not) as a safe choice, while the other (again, whether true or not) represented progressive change. If there is one undeniable fact, whether talking of reactions to music or urWff Improvement, it’s this: Here, people are bred, on the whole, only to want change. Now, it must be faced. Got hands? A grip is required. ; Soviet physical control not made in “great haste.” The Vice President of Student Affairs, Dr. Siggelkow, set up a committee headed by Dr. Khairy Kawi to write guidelines for these organizations to return to campus. The committee was made up of administrators, faculty and students. There was a tremendous .amount of input from all facets of the University in the formation of these guidelines. Should Mr. Niman have questions concerning any admittance procedures, the guidelines are public documents, available to any University member that asks. This would have been a much more appropriate source for universal admittance procedures, rather than taking a phrase of one Fraternity member out of context and making objectional quotes. Thirdly, hazing is against the law in New York State, hazing is not permitted by any Nationaf Greek Organization (As of this date, all of the Greeks here are National ) The wording of that paragraph is extremely slanted and vague. For all anyone knows, the “one student that died during hazing” could have died of heart failure, it could have been in the 1800’s, early 1900’s, or in any part of the nation. Greeks not only “claim" that they do not haze, they state that they do not haze. .Finally, there is a question to be posed to any organization, on this campiisor hot. Is there any organization that is in no way discriminatory? Do you not try to draw your merpbers from certain interested target populations? Does any organization hold truly universal appeal? Answer these questions honestly before you call any other organization “discriminatory.” Barbara J. Braun Chi Omega member To the Editor the idea that people behind the Iron Curtain ate not I would like to respond to Fred Call’s letter, “End the Arms Race” by stating that although noble in intention, he has misinterpreted the motives of the Soviet Union. A quick examination of the U S. and Soviet armed forces indicates a U.S. inferiority in just about every area, be it navel, airborne or land units, except for nuclear weaponery. It is my fervent belief that the goal of the Soviet Union since 1945 has been physical control of Europe and emminence as the single most powerful natien on earth. Only a superiority in military might would suffice to allow the USSR to do what it wants, when it wants to do it. To this end, the motives of Brezhnev’s recent disarmament are obvious. First, by proposing a limit on testing nuclear weapons and hinting at a later disarmament, Brezhnev appears to be a peace loving “knight in shining armor.” As I see it, the U.S. will undoubtedly agree to such measures and hasten to destroy our nuclear arsenal as a result of the pressure brought by innocent and naive people such as Mr. Call. The Soviet Union, is not, however, such a peaceful country as might be presumed. One need only look at the bloody suppressions of revolts in Hungary in 1956 and Czechoslovakia in 1968 to get need only read the papers to hear about a demand by 15,000 Lithuanians For Freedom. To those who cry for freedom in South Africa, why don’t they cry Irresponsible SA officials To the Editor. satisfied with Soviet oppression. Furthermore, one for freedom for the captive nations such as Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, the Ukraine, Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and others? Returning to the question of the latest Soviet proposal, let us suppose that the disarmament which Mr. Call espouses does occur. Then the Soviet Union will be capable of dominating Europe with its superior “conventional” army of tanks and men with the U.S. unable to lift a finger against Soviet machinations in Western Europe. The case is simple Soviet military superiority can carry out its goals only be eliminating U.S. nuclear capability. Brezhnev no longer needs his arsenal of atomic weapons and is willing to trade it off for U.S. nuclear arms. As a parting shot, to those who criticize Mr Kulyk, are the first to criticize the governments of Korea and Chile but never is so much a peep heard from them on the subject on the captive nations of Eastern Europe.

But there were the wiser ones, the plagued music lovers who risked their credibility as lovers of rock and roll, those that did not let a new wave drown them. These afficianadoes made the right decision. They trekked over the West Side to catch something different: Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers. They were not let down. The majority of the audience was out right surprised. I got what I expected: this was the best rock concert I have seen in a long time. The atmosphere was incredible: people shouting, bopping in their seats, not wanting to go to the bog in fear of missing any of the music. The show opened with a fitting prelude to the Modern Lovers: a juggler from the streets of San Francisco named Ray Jason. This man astounded the crowd by doing such bizzare antics as juggling a sickle, hatchet, and butcher's knife. If that wasn't enough, this mad man tossed about basketballs with as much agility as Meadowlark Lemon. Seriously, Ted Mack would have given his left nut to have a dude like this on his show. After this mayhem, the crowd was ready for Jonathan Richman. Oh, but did the boy change his image, no longer the semetic wimp from Boston but now the relaxed crooner complete with football jersey and moustache (Glenn Frey is the only other performer allowed to appear in public like this). Jonathan opened his show with "Ice Cream Man" from his latest album. Rock and Roll with the Modern Lovers. This juvenile ditty as enhanced by Jonathan abandoning the microphone and filling Upton Hall with mesmerizing vocals. Wait a second, before I get carried away, let me say that there was no safety pins or pogoing in the aisles. No punk rock, no feeble musicians, no Ramone-esque power choards. What was played was just Rock and Roll in its archetypal form. No gimmicks music. After numerous commands to the sound man to turn it down, the band responded to a request for La ' •••' X • _,y •' : Bamba. That's right. La Bamba. Richie Valens would have shed tears of joy, twenty minutes of his anachronistic claim to fame and thl crowd went wild. Leroy Radcliffe's guitar work was flawless, he plucked the right note very single time. 0. Sharpe's drumming kept the Latin madness going and with Jonathan on his Sears and Roebuck Silvertone guitar how could they go wrong? This mayhem was toned down with a dynamite version of "Caravan" that would have the Ventures trading in their Mosrites. Garage band enthusiasm At this point, the screams for requests had to be ignored. The crowd realized that the Modern Lovers could easily play anthing they asked for. It was Junior High dances revisited; the spirit of every kid that ever jammed with his neighbors in the local garage hung in the air. Everyone behaved like a frustrated rock star, except J.R. and the Modern Lovers; they were the stars. Next came the single from their second album (Jonathan Richman and the Modem Lovers ), "New England." Here, Jonathan expounded his theory of New England being the center of the universe "I've seen old Israel's arid plain; it's magnificent, but so is Maine; oh, I love New England." The dome de dome de dom de dom day background vocals sounded like the cone heads on valium. Big Asa Brebner never missed a cue: he wailed and chirped right on time without ever giving up his pumping backbeat on bass. Towards the middle of the show, the tunes became quite restrained. Jonathan fancied crooning without the mike while Leroy played very very softly. The audience was spellbound. Could this band really be serious? Songs like "My love Is Like a Flower Beginning to Bloom" and "Angels Watching Over Me" caused more than a few outbursts of laughter. Jonathan appeared a bit piqued but understood the laughter. The people were being entertained and laughter was a means to communicate their approval. Jonathan came across more humorous than Loudon Wainwnght but he didn't try to. The setting was condusive to a minimum of music more like a cabaret atmosphere. This perplexity served to astound those unfamiliar with the Modern Lovers music. The level of .... absurdity anticipated by the crowd was actually more than they bargained for, when they finally realized how absurd the music was they couldn't comprehend it. Richman is the Eddie Haskell of rock and roll; the image portrayed via the music is nothing tike the image protrayed by the man himself. The crowd was stunned that they had actually paid money to see a performer that really cared about what the audience wanted. Not another pack of shits that run around the country not knowing what city they're in, the Modern Lovers were one of the first sincere rock acts I've ever viewed. Dinosaur metamorphosis After responding to a request for more Chuck Beery tunes Jonathan and Co. stayed the audience with one of the tightest versions of “Roll Over Beethoven" ever played. There were no flaws, no mix-ups over whose on lead, whose on rhythm. No doubt about it. The Modern Lovers are a very polished yet very spontaneous rock band. After a wild rave for an encore, Jonathan realized the crowd was on his level of communication. Mimicking and writing to the objects he imitated, Jonathan convinced everyone that he was "a little dinosaur."When he declared he was a little airplane and outstretched his arms one thought he could fly away. This number and its accompanying mime forced The Modern Lovers .to go one step closer to the edge. D. Sharpe came forward brandishing a trombone while Jonathan went behind the drum kit. This was the climax-flat notes oozing from a dented horn while Jonathan beat the skins with prowess equal to the great Gary Lewis. The audience was frantic, clamoring for more and more, Jonathan held them in suspense before answering the desperate please to hear Roadrunner. This track, the tour de force from their halycon days with John Cale as producer, left the hums of two chord rock and roll ringing in everyone's ear. After this, the music was over but no one turned out the lights. Instead, Jonathan came out and sat at the edge of the stage giving autographs (yes, autographs by the score) and answering any queries his newly won admirers had. Jonathan Richman definitely captivated his audience and gave so much more than expected that the crowd lingered in the hall well after the show was over. For all those that missed this event, check out any of the Modern Lovers' albums (Berserkely Records) then you will realize that not all of the so-called new wave is punk rock and that without new bands and new approaches to the art, we all would still be listening to the same old shit that has been plaguing the record buying public ever since the death of Jim Morrison, Shea's Buffalo Hampton is master of the beauty in music an instrument then used for little more than a by Michael F.

Many historical dramas deal with this premise. When shall society recognize, if not appreciate, genius? Is persecution of the free thinking individual necessary? The months of November and December offer the Buffalo public the local premieres of three such historical plays. Two productions will be presented by the Center for Theatre Research at the Pfeifer Theatre. Are You Now Or Have You a study of the House Un-American Activities Committee of the 1950's, runs this month (see calender) and Bingo, Edward Bond's look at the last days of William Shakespeare, opens in December. The third historical drama that is avialable is Semmelweiss, the latest Studio Arena Theatre production. This play, which opened last Friday, will run through November 26, and tickets are available at the Squire Hall box office. Adeptly handled Semmelweiss is Howard Sackler's dramatic biography of physician Hungarian Ignaz Semmelweis a pioneer in the field of obstetrics. When as many as twenty-five per cent of the mothers and infants in European maternity wards died in childbirth. Doctor Semmelweis took it upon himself to look for a treatment for the disease known as childbed fever. Semmelweiss is one of the most intriguing plays that Studio Arena has brought to town in recent years. This play is certainly on a more elevated level of entertainment and intellectualism than the usual Studio Arena fare. In terms of entertainment, Semmelweiss is a serious drama adeptly handled by a large cast under the direction of Edward — Sherin. Worthy of special mention is Lewis J. Stadlen. Stadlen portrays Semmelweis from the time he was a medical student through his discovery of the clause of the murderous fever and including the tragic decline of the man. Semmelweis found that doctors, ignorant of the modern practice of sterilizing instruments and hands before operations, carried decaying matter from the corpses they examined in their line of work and left this infectious matter in the exposed mucous tissue of women's vaginas and cervixes while delivering children. Semmelweis' request that all doctors wash before entering the delivery rooms, thereby incurring the wrath and censure of his superiors and colleagues. He eventually goes mad from the action of his fellow doctors and becomes infected with the disease he tried desperately to prevent. Stadlen plays the role of a man determined to overcome the narrowmindedness of his peers nad facing professional loneliness every day of his life in a manner that draws audience sympathy. Hard edged look Amazingly Staflen took on the role very shortly before the opening of Semmelweiss. David Birney, previously cast in the lead, left Buffalo because of artistic differences. Birney is usually cast in romanticized roles and plays, and he wortcs fairly well in them. Stadlen, noted primarily for comic roles on the Broadway stage and in film ( Between the Lines is one of his recent works! services this unromantic and hard edged look at a person faced with defeat so well that it is a wonder he was not cast as the courageous doctor from the beginning Again congratulations are due to the acting company and the director. This of group professionals are the primary reason for the success of this play. minor character is Every fascinating to watch, and all the -lead actors play their roles convinvingly. Political activities The flaws in Semmelweiss are the playwrights mistakes. True, in all plays that are based on real lives there is a need to compress the facts for dramatic unicy. I feel, however, that there was no need to change the protagonist's name from Ignaz Semmelweis to Phillip (note Semmelweiss different Christian name; note additional V in surname). Ignaz Semmelweis was very active in the liberal politics in the Vienna of his day; Phillip Semmelweiss seems to have no political inclinations. Surely, if political activities were included in the play, the character would be better defind as a person who sought alternatives in all aspects of life rather than a random victim of the oppressive medical system. The last three episodes of Semmelweis' life as presented by Sackler are melodramatic representations of madness and death. It seems a pretty cheap ending for what is basically a decent play. Despite flaws. Studio Arena's Sem me/weiss is an entertaining and thought provoking Theater event. Holling Thunder' Movie does not follow through on its potential by Michael Silberman Spectrum Arts Staff This movie had promise. There is enough tension in the early scenes of Rolling Thunder to lead one to expect a close examination of the aftermath of the Vietnam war. The character of returning ROW Major Charles Rane (William Oevane) provides an excellent opportunity to explore the war's public and personal consequences. These are, indeed issues deserving of a thorough treatment. One car. only be dismayed and annoyed when they are abandoned in favor of an emotionless vigilante pursuit a la that in Death Wish. The film begins with cross-cuts between the Major's plane and a group of eagerly awaiting supporters at San Antonio airport. The crowd teems with images of boy scouts, majorettes. Little Leaguers. To American these people Rane is a hero, a personification of a myth; the tough, rugged individual who has made this country (peat. As such, he does not disappoint them. Vietnam, he explains, was not a tragic mistake, but “made better men of all of us." The people, in turn, show their appreciation by giving Rane a Cadillac and one silver dollar for each day he was held captive, a total of $2500. - Prodigal Sun Nevertheless, Rane is unable to adjust to the small town like he once knew. The one relationship he attempts to establish is hindered by his son's inability to relate to a father he never knew, and he is unaffected by the fact that his wife is having an affair with the local sheriff. It is indeed ironic that Rane tells the sheriff "the only way to survive the beatings is to learn to love them," for it is apparent in these scenes that he can only feel at ease when he relives the agonies *bf his captivity. There are some striking similarities between Rane and Travis Bickle, main character in. Taxi Driver both being the creations of screenwriter Paul Schrader. Like Bickle, Rane is an obsessed and tortured soul, living in the far and secret recesses of his mind. He secludes himself in the backyard shed of his house and puts himself through a rigorous program of physical training for vriiat, we aren’t told. And the explicit and graphic depiction of the final shoot-out prompts unavoidable associations with Taxi Driver. ■— — Seeks revenge But whereas Sickle's character was filled with amibuities, and one could indeed wonder vdiat his motives were, the reason for Bane's sudden turn to violence is clearly understood. With the killing of his wife and child. and the mutilation of his own hand, Rane becomes nothing more than a revenge-seeking lunatic. White he had earlier seemed to drift along in some dense and impenetrable fog, without direction or purpose. Rane now has a cause to which he dedicates himself tirelessly. It is at this point that the film begins its steady decline. One can't be certain how his experience in Vietnam contributed to Rane's newfound violent nature because the issue is suddenly dropped. The film no longer details the difficulty of his assimilation back into the mainstream of American life. Rane is conveniently provided with the script for a reversion back to the relentless and sterile killer-role he played in Vietnam. Easy way out The movie dissolves into a mere glorification of his vengence and violence. Charles Rane is once again a hero, able to take matters into his own hands. He is the classic example of a man who has taken all he can stand, and thus whose rampage we are thus expected to approve of. But Rolling Thunder takes the easy way out, failing to probe its complex main character, and disappointing us with its cheap conclusion. "Let's go home" Rane says at the end of the film; one can only wonder if he has finally found his home. Friday, 11 November 1977 . The Spectrum Page thirteen . �■rw-'f 1 .* ' won't be sorry).

But guitarists Nick Garvey and Andy McMasters (who joined them at the second release) rounded up drummer Ricky Slaughter and guitarist Bert Tchiakowsky from oblivion and formed The Motors. Besides having some of the most entertaining and controversial publicity ads (eg. Jayne Mansfield with balloon: "I Lost My Head Over The Motors" or Idid Amin: "Amin To De Motors"), they've also struck with the relentless pursuit of prime, riff-chord r'n'r. Big juicy riffs propel each track with hurrican-like efficiency. For instance, the opener, "Dancing The Night Away," slowly draws the listener with a beautiful McGuin structure, then the cymbals accent some ferocity before the break, the guitar chords bust-out and speedily the number peaks with an amphetamine pace. The Motors have reeonstructured that one chord madness which has instrigued the dole babies and have given it a total face lift. These chords can bend to more than one tankage via "Emergency" which is accompanied by blitzed phasing and triple layered ax tonnage.

Floyd perfectly created a flipped-out metaphor of their friend's madness, one of which the madcap would approve. Has Syd seen it? Does Syd see anything? No one knows for sure about Syd Barrett (I'm a second cousin and don't even have his address), but one thing we do have is his music, which audiophiles with a taste for the avant-garde have taken a special liking to. His songs have been called morbid by some. Syd replies: "I'm not morbid at no gloom all. There's or depression for me. Floyd bassist Roger Waters claims that "all Syd's songs are great. He makes most other stuff today look sich and silly." David Bowie also lists Syd as one of his early idols, but today he is forgotten by the generation of the sixtie's and unknown to a whole new breed of kids. But no matter, those with a taste for the bizarre will keep listening to vintage Syd and anxiously await a new release from the mad genius of all mad genii.

The record sells like free keys to the Runaways' rnotel rooms, you sit back in ecstacy and kick yourself in the arse for not being there. There was a live album released by Capitol Records of the Beatles performing at the Hollywood Bowl in 1964 and 1965 containing an array of oldies but moldies to the accompaniment of pubescent girls in a frenzy. In return, money came bounding back to the record company, for the Beatles could sell their belly button lint and make a . . fortune. What we all need now is another live album, right? From here to eternity, recordings of artists performing in concert wiH be bombarding our wavelengths. On the roster for upcoming months will be documents from Genesis, Crosby and Nash, 10CC, Frank Zappa, Loggins and Messina (their farewell tour), America, Fleetwood Mac, Jackson Browne, and Kiss. The past couple of years have given us vast amounts of taped gigs, the staple of every household being Frampton ComesAlive !, the obvious example. This kind of product first became popular in rock music with the three-album soundtrack to the film; Woodstock. It was a landmark of the times, showcasing the heyday of 60's drug-culture and the peace movement exploding in full swing. Some of the top acts of the day, Jefferson Airplane, Ten Years After, Joe Cocker, John Sebastian, Santana, and Jimi Hendrrx, played for three days straight and produced a landmark in recording and a milestone of time. One of the gimmicks from the album was responding to Sly Stone's beckoning "I want to take you higher !" Higher! The beginning of widely-accepted live singles was "A Boy Named Due," from Johnny Cash at San Quentin. A comic, offbeat cowboy story, the convicts in the background always made the tone rowdy and the single and the album were taken to heart by all. My favorite part of "A Boy Named Sue" was to imitate the censor’s bleep towards the end of the song. What did he say, anyway? Pop artists of the late '60's/early '70's accepted this relatively new policy slowly. While Mom and Dad could have settled for the 5th Dimension, you were in the red with Chicago at Carnegie Hall, which came with everything except descriptions of the clothes the group wore. It was a triple-header and dragged a good deal, for the band was not too polished and there was too much material on it to maintain interest. A better attempt was Four-Way Street from Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. These boys jammed feverishly and had a great spirit with their observers. The sound quality of the live album was steadily increasing, but there was still a lot more accuracy to be gained. The four folk-rockers have kept a large, paying crowd up to the present time. They certainly haven't lost their flair to burn up a stage. Get Yer Ya-Yas Out broke loose with the frenzy of the Rolling Stones in action before the spotlights. Jagger taunted, raved, and slobbered all over the mike with dancing theatrics. The arrangements were in a different vein than those from the studio, ones that were exceedingly exciting no one could call the Stones unappealing. There was only a handful of concert recordings in the early '70's. The outstanding sample was from the heartthrobs of the sun-tanned crowd, the Beach Boys, who releaseed In Concert. It displayed their ability to reproduce complex harmonies in person while giving us our money's worth of material to sing along with. Frampton Comes Alivel, one of the best-selling albums of all time, was expected by nobody and bought by everybody. There was energy, good production, and a meaty hook in the audience. Afterwards, Peter went sauntering off into new wealths, a landslide of live albums followed, and they're still coming fast and furious. The ingredients behind a concert set's success are faithful capturing of the artist, avoiding an excess in material and sparks flying on stage. The live album usually doubles a greatest hits selection, with the screaming and shouting a provocation to the listener. A concert version of a song may also be done differently, with extended soloing or it may be a duplicate of the studio track with an audience yelping at the beginning and at the end. Some people argue that an artist's true worth is the performance live than in the studio. Recently, Be Bop Deluxe's Live in the Air Age has been subjected to these views. Many claim Bill Nelson's guitar spurts and the action of the material can't be truly captured in the studio and the new live set finally does justice to these flaws. Other artists who fall into this one-sided category include Harry Chapin, The Tubes, Bruce Springsteen, Lynryd Skynyrd and the J. Ceils Band. The final verdict on a live album remains nebulous. An artist will release one when he feels their virtues in concert should be spread to the public in a wider sense. This recent habit has proven to be very profitable to some, while there are those who doubt these products have any value except to display incompetence and a grab for the green stuff. It all comes down to the discretion of the buyer and how valid the music is to him or her.

GERMAN FOOD BEER—WINE Prodigal Sun �Available records of modern Chicago blues by Ron Weinstock Spectrum Music Stuff This is the second in my survey of available blues recordings. Thl* time I will be focusing on the guitar dominated modern Chicago blues. One problem I have is attempting to describe and distinguish the guitar and Lounge about a half year before Earl's death are included and are remarkable exercises on the guitar. Earl was respected by his fellow musicians and B.B. King listed EAr? as one of his favorites. Freddy King (King)The late Freddy King was the most direct influence on the British blues rockers like Eric dapton, Peter Green and Jeff Beck. Freddy was famous for his crisp, driving guitar instrumentals and strong vocals. Gusto Records who now owns the old King Records catalog has recently put out this 17 track album including most of his best recordings. Tunes include "Hideaway," "Have You Ever Loved a Woman" and "See See Baby", and this is the essential Freddy King. Recordings made for Cotillion, Shelter (with Leon Russell) or RSO just don't come close to these classic sides. Absolutely essential. > singing styles of artists all working in a Similar idiom. B.B. King blues with a Modern Chicago blues is post definite amount of gospel touches in the singing and use of single note guitar solos with string-blending and other — Otis Rush, Right Place, Wrong Time (Bullfrog); Cold Day in Hell (Delmark) My personal favorite bluesman. Otis sings and plays with a chilling intensity. The Bullfrog album was recorded for Capitol in 1971 but unissued till December 1976. The arrangement and touches of Otis' guitar recall Albert King's Stax recordings but Otis makes use of falsetto in hi; singing and is a more fluid guitarist than Albert. The Delmark album is more recent showing the incorporation of heavy chording techniques partially derived from Jimmy Smith's organ playing and Kenny Burrell's guitar. "You're Breaking My Heart" is eight minutes of no holds guiar and agonized singing that just overwhelms. This album has a feel of a live recording with some rought spots in the band work, but is that much more effective for it. effects. Robert Jr. Lockwood, Contrasts (Trix); Blues Live In Japan (Advent) Robert Jr. Lockwood is the stepson of the legendary Mississippi bluesman Robert Johnson. With Rice Miller (the 2nd Sonny Boy Williamson) he was on the King Biscuit Time program in the early forties. In the fifties he was Little Walter's guitarist and a sessionman for Chess Records. Lockwood is a tasty, distinctive guitarist with an impeccable sense of time and a jazzy chord-based guitar approach. His recent recordings as a leader are as satisfying ... Buddy Guy, A Man and the Blues (Vanguard) Still playing today, and popular because of his partnership with Junior Wells, George 'Buddy' Guy plays remarkable guitar and sings with a gospel inflected voice. At times, he gets to hysterical in his singing and playing as his numerous sessions as a sideman. Contrasts features some band numbers that range from combo blues to bebop. Half the album is duets with his bassist Gene Schwartz (brother of Glenn Schwartz who was the legendary guitarist on Pacific Gas & Electric's first records). These duets range from "Little Boy Blue" where Robert plays slide and the two sound like early Muddy Waters to numbers where Robert's jazz flavored guitar cones across very clearly. The live album was recorded with the Aces in Japan and features enthusiastic readings of a number of blues standards. The interplay betweens Lockwood's guitar and the guitar of Louis Myers is a delight and on "Honky Tonk" they build an amazing intensity. A completely original guitar solo on the overrecorded "Stormy Monday" is also noteworthy. which undercuts his effectiveness. This particular album is a little unrepresentative of Buddy in that his guitar tone is much cleaner than on other recordings and his singing somewhat less flamboyant. B.B. King's influence is very obvious and Buddy does four slow blues with great beauty. A treat is Otis Spann's presence on piano and the interplay between Spann's dark rumblins on the keyboard and Guy's flurries of notes is magnificent. Another fine album. Hold That Plane, is also on Vanguard and if you can find / Walked Through the Woods on Chess in the cutout bins do pick it up as it includes ome of his fine earliest recordings. FREDDIE KING Jimmy Dawkins, Blisterstring (Delmark) Once known as 'Fastfingers' for obvious reasons, Jimmy Dawkins is an explosive, everchanging guitarist who plays using a heavy, dark tone with treble and tremelo effects. He also develops clusters of short notes and plays across the melody line. This is his third Delmark album and reveals his continuing musical growth. Jimmy is a good singer when he doesn't force his vocals, and an excellent songwriter. A really good example is "Welfare Line," which is the album's closing tune. Jimmy's first album, Fastfingers, won the Grand Prix du Disque of the Hot Club of France and his second Delmark album, AH for Business, included Otis Rush on second guitar and is another fine Earl Hooker, Two Bugs and a Roach (Arhoolie); His First and Last Recordings (Arhoolie) John Lee's cousin was one of the masters of the blues fluent playing slide guitar or modern guitar runs. "Anna Lee" on the first album features some really nice slide guitar patterned after Robert Nighthawk. The title track is a talking blues duet with Andrew 'B.B. Jr.' Odom and includes two staggering guitar breaks. Other tracks find Earl playing jazz, B.B. King style and a couple show him using the wa-wa pedal to good effect. Muddy Waters' current pianist 'Pinetop' Perkins is on this album as well as most of the other album. The First and Last Recordings includes a couple of instrumentals left over from sessions for Arhoolie, four 1952-3 sides originally done for Sun Records Sam Phillips with exciting crisp guitar. Finally two live improvisations recorded at Pepper's \ Magic 1 W! iagi of 32, Ralph Gleason wrote to the effect that Janis Joplin used to make zillions playing in Chicago's North Side then go to see Sam making $20 a night in a West Side Chicago bar. Sam's death was just after a second Delmark album had been issued and when his career seemed to be blossoming. Possessed of a high pitched voice and a distinctive guitar style based on finger-picked single note runs combined with rocking chord work, Sam produced some five blues and his is missed by his fellow musicians, not merely fans. “All Your Love" was a typical Sam number combining a melody line from an old Lowell Fulson tune with a guitar break taken from Ray Charles' "Lonely Avenue." Sam's recreation here of his 1956 original is nice as are some nice B.B. King styled numbers. The instrumental "Lookin' Good" features some heavy rocking guitar breaks without the band. His other Delmark album. Black Magic, is also very good. guitar, equally - set. ALL I have limited my attention to domestic albums. Both Jimmy Dawkins and Otis Rush have several European and Japanese recordings available.

It's supposed to represent the "Atlanta Sound", which can best be described as a cross between mellow and boring with some boggie-rock guitar licks thrown in here and there. lt\doesn*t qualify as it lacks the fire, the spunk, good Southern Rock and the funk, except for an occassional glimmer of what it should be now and then. “So Into You", ARS's sexy Top 40 hit from earlier'this year, bears little resemblance to their earlier music as found in this collection. The most boring work found in the set is from ARS's first album, recorded with Rodney Justo as lead vocalist. It's not bad music, just not distinguished by anything whatsoever. They improved with the addition of Ronnie Hammond singing lead, when Justo departed to pursue a solo career (has he ever been heard of again?), Hammond, their current vocalist, has a stronger, bluesier voice that charges the tunes with the energy they lacked before. "Will I Live On" is a powerful ballad, and "Back Up Against The Wall" an excellent rocker. Joe South's "Redneck" gets a familiar rock 'n' roll beat, the kind you've heard a million times before but just can't figure out where. Altogether, if you want to experience the roots of the Atlanta Rhythm Section, don't bother with this two-record set. Just get "Back or, if you could easily get Up Against The Wall" caught up in some Southern Boogie Tedium, —P.C. experience someone else's roots. - — Vivaldi, The Four Seasons (Angel) What can be said about six virtuoso Japanese musicians playing a 250 year old work composed in a different world. Add to this the fact that the musicians play Koto, a 13 and 17-string Eastern* instrument. Vivaldi's Baroque masterpiece 'The Four Seasons' was transcribed for the different Koto instruments. Could this be an acoustic ansyver to Isao Tomita's electronic process of singing Stravinsky and Although the New Koto Debussy into your br Ensemble of Japan are extremely precise, Antonio Vivaldi's 'Four Seasons' experiences some cultural shock at the hands of the sextet Use this album as a supplement to the original orchestrated version. —T.A. Antonio would have wanted it that way. Narada Michael Walden, I Cry. I Smile (Atlantic) Why can't certain musicians leam that they just can't make it on vocals alone? Narada Michael Walden, ex-Mahavishnu and Jeff Beck drummer, was at one time, one of the most promising young jazz percussionists. On this current release, ! Cry, / Smile. Micheal has given up his Cobham-like style (which he executed so well in the past) in favor of a totally concept. vocal The uninspired disco-ish instrumentation is kept to a minimum, with the exception of the misplaced Michael Gibbs Walden has a passable voice, but it definately isn't strong enough to carry an entire album. He tried singing on his previous effort. Garden of Love Light, but he contained it, sticking mainly to his past jazz-rock history. It seems Narada's in Nirvana. Why, you ask? He's in love with his face. It's the only artwork on both of his album covers. How vain can you get? Michael, please, go back to playing all that jazz. —D.A.

My Farewell To Elvis (MCA) Arriving during a time when everybody from "The Fabulous Sound Effects" to Otis Blackwell seems to be cashing in on Elvis' passing. Merle Haggard has recorded a memorable tribute album. Besides for the title song, an overly-corny Merle Haggard ballad. Haggard performs fairly faithvul renditions of nine of Elvis' most famous songs. Haggard has a smooth and mellow Vbice, best are his treatments of the albums ballads. Versions of "Love Me Tender", "In The Ghetto", "Blue Christmas", and "Are You LOnesome Tonight" are performed in a voice so similiar to the King's that its eerie. Only on "Jailhouse Rock" and "Blue Suede Shoes" where Merle talk-sings rather then screams like Elvis does on those tracks, is the album disappointing. The musicians are all established Nashville sessionmen. Often, as on "Jailhouse Tock", they take fine but short solos. Though some may prefer "the real thing".

Not unexpectedly the big single off the LP should be the title piece "Victim of Love", which strikes an amazing resembtence to the Crystals' tune Shaun Cassidy as of late had the nerve to recreate.

Fire Islnand Herbie Mann seems to have forgotten his jazz origins and has assumed the role of a disco band leader and producer rather than that of featured musician. Throughout the album, Mann directs his band of competent Salsa and Disco musicians through a lineup of streamlined, very slickly arranged Disco tunes. The songs are laced with typically sounding horn and string charts which are metronomed into that familiar Disco beat. Like most Disco and Salsa music, the sound has a flowing quality to it; images of stylichly dressed dancers "Roping" through a strobed lit discoteque "Hustled" through my head as I listened to this album. Perhaps the album's biggest flaw is that Disco as an idiom is too confining for Mr. Mann, he seems trapped into playing his flute at a level way below his capabilities. Judged strictly as a Disco release, (as this album should be). Fire Island is a danceable, -A R. enjoyable album. -I .

Friday, II November 1977 ; . 1 1 UNITED TECHNOLOGIES An Equal Opportunity Employer/Male & Female Prodigal Sun �RECORDS Steve Goodman, Say It In Private (Elektra) As we head towards the end of the seventies one can take a musical glance back at this decade and notice an infinite amount of transfigurations. The re-entry of jazz, disco, the growth of classical rock, jazz-rock fusion, the beginning of punk rock and the emergence of a multi-million dollar industry. Music is no longer exclusively an art, it is a business; and many musicians with help from their company executives, have turned into businessmen. Steve Goodman has proved he is above assimilation. The opening two cuts on Say It In Private can be categorized as love songs. The first, "I'm Attracted To You" is a mellow tune beginning with a little quick picking, courtesy of Mr. Goodman. Steve's quivering voice warns his prey to watch out as the song progresses into a sweet tenor sax solo by Scott Hamilton. The next cut, "You're The Girl I Love," offers great contrast to the preceding tune. It has an up beat with a piercing baritone sax in the backround. Ken Ascher offers some fine boogie-woogie keyboards which eventually fade with the rest of the song. An interesting note is the fact that string sections are used on both cuts. It seems that no type of current music can escape the wrath of collective violins. Actually, I can't complain. They are used wisely and never take away from the compositions. On 'There's A Girl In The Heart of Maryland", the strings set the mood and are perfect accompaniment for Jethro Burn's mandolin. "Video Tape", a sardonic view of the worlds fascination with electronics, a pedal steel guitar is mixed with the orchestration. Believe it or not, it sounds good. On his fifth album, Steve Goodman has kept up with his past and produced an album with great diversity. His repertoire ranges from songs by Smokey Robinson to Hank Williams (and of course some new originals). Blues, ballads and love songs are all represented. Steve Goodman's greatest asset is his ability to write songs which are relative to our times and make you think about the world around you (Mr. Dylan). "Daley's Gone" is an excellent example. But it is now centered on the late mayor of Chicago; Tom Waits, Foreign Affairs (Asylum) Anyone for a few dead creepin' Charlies? Tom Waits' nearly new Foreign Affairs again defines the expression “classic burn-out makes good." The vinyl features a variety of musical styles performed with Waits' unique methodical madness. Frank Vicari's tenor, Jim Hughart's bass, and Shelley 'Hot Coals' Manne on drums provide ambrosial background noise for the goon's piano and vocalized growls. Is Tom Waits for real? Indubitably. Apart from the music's jazz feel. Waits' lyrics possess a drunken, incongruous stream of consciousness aura. His poetry is the product of genius, excessive Old Golds and whiskey: "the gas pumps looked like tombstones from here felt lonlier than a parking lot when the last car pulls away and the moonlight dressed the double breasted foothills in the mirror weaving out a negligee and a black brassiere the mercury was running hot and almost out of gas just then florence nightingale dropped her drawers and stuck her fat ass half way out the window with a Wilson pickett tune and shouted get a load of this and gave the finger to the moon" /1 would be funny if heaven was just like the eleventh ward and you had to know the right people to receive your just award. Steve collaborated with an old friend, John Prine, to write 'The Twentieth Century Is Almost Over". Along with the significant lyrics is a significant folk musician, Pete Seeger, on banjo. This song is representative of the second side of the album. Only one song, "My Old Man," uses a string section and they are the only instruments besides Steve's voice and guitar, on the song. I can happily say that Mr. Goodman has used the business' tools to better his impressionistic style, not his wallet. When looking back at the music of the seventies it will be the craftsmen such as Steve Goodman that will be worthremembering. —Peter Gordon "jack was noddin out and drgamin he was in a bar with chariie parker on the bandstand not a worry in the world a glass of beer in one hand and his arm around a girl and neat was singin to the nurse underneath a harlem moon and somehow you could just tell we'd be in California soon" This portion from the cut 'Jack and Neal' is a swinging extrapolation of 'California Here I Come' which is transformed into a Thompsonesque 'Fear and Loathing on the Road to California.' Waits' bassy rasping vocals are a trademark. Anyone having heard him scat the tune 'Step Right Up' from ftis previous album Small Change would agree that despite his thick growl, he can nimbly squeeze any words into any melody . . . with feeling. In the song "Potter's Field," the climate shifts to an eerie drunken nightmare that happened there one night. Waits growls. Images float in and out of the fog: he shot out every street light on the promenade past the ham and eggers at the penny arcade throwin out handfuls of bloodstained salary they were dead in their tracks at the shoo tin gallery and they fired off a twenty-one gun salute and from the corner of his eye he caught the alabaster orbs and from a dime a dance hall girl and stuffed a thousand dollar bill in her blouse and caught the cruet and unusual punishment ofher smite and the Duke Ellington and his Orchestra, Original Sessions 1943/1945 (Musidisc) Edward Kennedy Ellington. The Duke. An eloquence "au naturel" that comes from the blood-pulsing flow of human feeling. A statesman that spoke to the people in his terms: Music. A Music that has no time to be diluted. A Music that has no time for putting people on, because the roots of the song are people. A relaxation that bears awareness. An aggressive finger snapping to a sacred beat. The Duke. The end and first product of a long line of Masters. In the royalty of this prodigious the first master of the Music Sciences. The Duke. To be loved madly, gently, but never complace.ntly. A result of black pride and quiet, period, flamboyant dignity that walks the prowling streets, moving. Rex Stewart, which, in this serves as a vehicle for a young brassman who, very shortly, would explode upon the music world like a piercing, pencil-thin cry in the night rendition, John Birks "Dizzy" Gillespie (who, as Duke stated in his Music Is My Mistress, worked with him during the first weeks of 1944) displays the tickling drone of his trumpet tone as he cunningly trades blow-for-blow with the Orchestra . . the tune being a seductive, sassy mellowness that calls with the siren Prodigal Sun What the hell is going on here? Briefly returning to reality. Foreign Affairs does contain a few more conventional efforts. For three and a half minutes, in "I Never Talk to Strangers," Tom Waits grunts groans and ultimately growls pick-up lines at Bette Midler, who growls back to a different tune. At least he picks her up in the end. "Burma Shave" sounds like Bruce Springsteen and Southside Johnny, would if they every got good. "Barbarshop" is a superslick performance, reminiscent of the previously mentioned "Step Right Up." Mr. Snip Snip Snip relates: you know the hair's gettin longer and the skirts gettin shorter you can get a cheaper haircut if you want across the border now if your momma saw you smokin why she'd kick your ass put it out you little juvenile and put it out fast oh if i had a million dollars well what would I do probably be a barber not a bum like you still got your paper route now thats just fine now you can pay me double cause you gypped me last time - This is one of a series of radi airchecks that come miraculously to us, decades later, in excellent fidelity. Merci to the French lyiusidisc and other foreign labels for preserving and bringing forth such fine documents of our priceless legacy . . . this one, particularly so. The album begins and ends on the entrance of Billy Strayhorn's "Take The A Train," the surging Harlem tracklayer which served as Duke's theme. Fade into "Boy Meets Horn," a co-creation of Duke Trumpeter Following "Boy Meets Horn" is the Mercer Ellington showcase "Things Ain't What They Used To Be" (perhaps the packagers of this album were slyly honoring the musical transition that Dizzy's changes would usher in). The phasing accuracy of the Duke's men is a wonder, from a feather quiet to a strong cadence in the even flick of a breath (still a mark to match in this day). Johnny Hodges' alto fluidity strikes a beauty that only a Charlie Parker or a Coltrane could build upon (Hodges' comment on the Ellington-Coltrane version of "In A Sentimental ABC-Impulse, 1963 was that Trane did Mood" song, finest the ever. Quite a the 'rendition of comment, considering the song had been Hodges’ vehicle for years!). the rain soaked brim - The Duke. Undeniably, The cat and sway that Duke's orchestrations bring so beautifully. Dizzy, towards the end, evokes a startling tuba register, and one can but image those satirically ballooning cheeks. He plays ensemble trumpet in lively versions of "Hop Skip And Jump" and "Ring Them Bells." In itself, this is a vital document. nightstick winked underneath "It Don't Mean A Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing" speaks for itself. Check the sweet violin that trumpetman Ray Nance displays. Sonny Greer's drums I dare anybody to put down multiple (Braxton, Art Ensemble of Chicago, percussion etc.) Tyner, after hearing his all out approach. Likewise for Harry Carney's bass sax tiptoeing (Roscoe Mitchell), or the legendary 'Tricky Sam" Nanton, whose elbowing trombone phonetics have only now begun to be seen, though the mastery of AACM specialist George Lewis. Listen to Tricky Sam on tunes like "Creole Love Call," the tongue-lashing ya ya a throaty street growl challenging the world. The strike of Duke's piano royal speaks classically of ... Foreign Affairs swings, bops, and does other assorted undulations. The album was performed 'live' in the studio, without the use tracking or overdubbing, reflecting the fine production, as well as the tightness of the group, the goon and the occasional orchestration. Waits is wasted. There is no way his music could sparkle in the rain-soaked gutters. Sorry, Waitsian slip. Besides, anyone making references to Monk and Charlie Parker and sounding just a faint bit like Satchmo can't be all bad. -Tony Amplo !§■■■■■■■■ BCOUPON Gourmet food from India & Pakistan you should not miss. taj Mahal Restaurant DINNER SERVED 6 oo 10:00 pm 10% U.B.

The Spectrum Friday, . 11 November 1977 Prodigal Sun �FeUatious bigotry To the Editor In regard to the letter “Justified denial of rights” in Monday’s edition of The Spectrum, 1 would like to express my thoughts about Mr. Thill’s fears. It will be seen that Mr. Thill is concerned with the “We,” i.e., society, rather than the “I.” He is afraid that decriminalization of homosexual behavior will result in restrictions on heterosexual behavior, i would like to point out that, under the penal code, sodomy (which includes anal intercourse, fellatio, cunnilingus and analingus) is against the law. This applies to heterosexuals and homosexuals alike. Repeal of the sodomy laws, therefore, would result in more sexual freedom for everybody, not just gay people. So, Mr. Thill, the next time you are in bed with your sex partner, remember that unless you stick to the missionary position, you too are guilty of breaking the law. As far as freedom from homosexuals goes, I don’t believe that by being gay, 1 am forcing my values and beliefs on anyone. This is the way 1 am, and if it doesn’t appeal to you or anyone else, that is entirely your affair. However, the heterosexual majority believes that it has the right to force gays to conform to their standards. This dual standard is completely illogical. The gay minority (about 16 percent according to Kinsey), in seeking its rights, is only asking to be accepted as another segment of a FEEDBACK large, complex society. We are not, repeat not, trying to force “society as a whole” to become gay. Mr. Thill also worries that liberalizing gays will create sexual identity problems for adolescents. Doesn’t he realize that these problems already exist, and will not increase merely because gay people have been given the right to live as they please? If anything, these problems should decrease; a young gay person, just beginning to become aware of his sexuality would have no reason to feel shame, or to be afraid of what “society as a whole” would say. Thus, his sexual identity problems could not be augmented by his fears of societal disapproval. Mr. Thill speaks of “socializing the young into appropriate, comprehensible sex roles.” This is necessary, he says, to ensure the perpetuation of our Pristine bigotry To the Editor The anti-gay letter of Richard Thill is already ptetty wel refuted by the apt but inconsistent title, “Justified denial of rights.” No one has a right to else, but, on the other hand, such rights as we do have are, as they say, inalienable. The usual arguments that homosexuality is harmful arc based entirely on ignorance. They are transparent stupidities that no one would think of believing S applied in different circumstances. They are only saved from being shown up for what they ate by the total silence about homosexuality that has, in the past, always been enforced. Mr. Thill however shows us their basis in all the beauty of its simple pristine bigotry. There is no harm done to individual or society. The only argument is that its practice by those who are so inclined is offensive to others who are in no way asked to take part. Anyone has aright to act (harmlessly) as he is. No one has a right to deny it to him simply out of bigotry. On the contrary, one has a duty to mind one’s own business, c Mr. Thill makes another point equally dear it less explicit. That is that it is not a case of homosexuals vs. heterosexuals. It is quite easy to imagine any of a number of different kinds of pluralistic societies, including ones in which one could sleep with the (willing) partner of one's choice. Mr. Thill evidently finds the fact that someone else chooses to act differently from the way he does to be, by itself, threatening. It is this, rather than the nature of the acts, which makes pluralism difficult. Coming to terms with one’s sexuality is difficult whether one is straight or gay. it is so frightening to some that the only strategy they can adopt is to ignore it and to make sure everyone else does the same. This is cowardly and oppresses gays and straights equally. Gays and straights can coexist quite nicely; what cannot coexist is repression and freedom. harm anyone culture. In order words, he feels that everyone should be busily engaged in baby-making. Well, I think that the 84 percent of our society who, according to Kinsey, are heterosexual, are perfectly capable of keeping our society well-populated. Mr, Thill, if you (singular, second person) wish to live in a heterosexual society, I can only offer one piece of advice: don’t associate with gay people. 1 don’t know what your mental picture of a gay person is, but I’m prepared to bet that it is inaccurate. So beware, there may be one sitting right next to you. Gotcha! Jerry Taggart Oblique bigotry To the Editor claim that it is not a question of honesty, but of actions, for he claims that homosexuals are few in number. Can he show us a convincing refutation of In Richard Thill’s letter (The Spectrum, Nov. 7) concerning gay rights, he makes some claims that I Kinsey’s statistics?) Thill apparently cannot conceive would like to examine. Thill claims that most of a pluralistic society that will not be torn with Americans want “freedom from homosexuals.” That conflict. is probably true. Most Americans are bigoted, but My most serious argument with Thill concerns to accept that bigotry there is no reason his allegation of “chaos:” “Immense difficulties in complacently. the socializing young into appropriate, Thill then makes some misleading analogies: comprehensible sex roles; the agonies of sexual can you imagine a society in which half the identity that would await every adolescent; the population abhorred incest as a monstrous crime, distortion and confounding of our entire way of while the other half practiced it ardently; or one in life.” Thill apparently did not grow up in the same which half the people believed in the sanctity of world 1 did. In a society such as ours, where even private property, while the others believed in helping monogamous heterosexuality is acceptable only themselves to whatever they needed? Such groups under certain limited conditions, there are already would tear themselves apart.” This analogy is “immense difficulties in socializing the young into misleading, because in our society, children involved appropriate, comprehensible sex roles.” ‘The in incest face extreme psychological conflicts, which agonies of sexual identity” do “await every homosexuals do not, and the children are not free adolescent” (as the intense anti-gay bigotry of many agents, which adult homosexuals are. To dignify adolescents shows). 1 am afraid that Thill’s Thill’s question with an answer, albeit an oblique argument, if scrutinized carefully, would be brought to this: we cannot be honest about the full range of one, I would say that if we could guarantee (as I’m because fairly certain we couldn’t) that the children involved sexual especially behavior, people, in incest in his hypothetical society would not face adolescents, will be frightened and confused by it. If extreme psychological conflicts, and if we could 1 may be permitted the analogy, that is like saying: guarantee that the children were truly free agents, we won’t eat apples so we may spare ourselves the the other half of the society could lump it. Thill’s possible agony of finding that we don’t like them. I other analogy concerns property rights, which are am glad to say that 1 have more faith in the strength even less analogous. of individuals than Thill does. Thill then claims that homosexuality threatens Mr. Thill, I and my lovers and friends are not society’s norms of “heterosexuality, monogamy, and going to go away. We have always been here and will the nuclear family . . . which are the heart of always be here. Asking us to hide for your bigoted Western society.” I do not see that Western society comfort is unreasonable. It is like asking blacks to go (which has withstood the assaults of closeted to Africa. Lump it. homosexuality for centuries) will collapse if more Morgan de Tarr homosexuals are honest about themselves will ”...

On page eight (almost 2/3 of it!!) of the 1 1/2/77 issue of The Spectrum, there appeared a 4 column, 11 inch ad advertising a particular album by a particular group. This in itself creates no problem or conflict. Where the problem does arise is at the Ignorant bigotry To the Editor Richard Thill’s letter that appeared in last Monday’s The Spectrum was obviously a result of ignorance and lack of reading or experience. It amazes me that people swallow the statements he made; the assumptions that they were based on are false and illogical. Had Thill done his homework, he would’ve found that Kinsey’s research and the Wolfenden Report had both treated the effects of homosexual activity on social norms. The two sources both answer the questions that Thill raises and dismisses them as unsubstantiated, invalid and based upon ignorance and/or religious teachings My feeling is that Thill needed somehow to lay a bottom guilt trip on the gay minority by blaming it for what he perceives as corruptions of social norms. Hopefully, he will assume responsibility for his own sexuality and leave mine to me. He should research to see why Kinsey and the Wolfenden Report both recommend the decriminalization of homosexual activities. It’s hard to keep from laughing at such illogical and unbased bigotry, so 1 won’t try . . Ha! As Walt Whitman so eloquently said: “1 hear it was charged against me that I sought to destroy institutions, but really I am neither for nor against institutions (what indeed have I in common with them, or what with the destruction of them?) . . .” Kevin Matlinson Dramatic bigotry To the t'ditor of this ad. There appears a one-hne promotion naming a nameless record store known in some UB circles as “Savage’s Record Store.” A great pumber of students at this University (and rumor has it a lot of other folks also!!) seem to have a great deal of contempt for one Carl Cavage. This infamous Mr. Cavage has repeatedly tried to screw the SUNYAB students by attempting to close down our Record Co-op and therefore force us to walk (or crawl as the case may be) across the street and pay too many dollars for too little product, namely tte almighty ALBUM!! I feel that this action by The Spectrum staff totally negates the actions (however questionable they may be!) of people like Richard Lippes who are fighting to retain a viable and useful student service here at UB. The Record Co-op is more than just what it appears to be it is a symbol representing all services of our campus community that offer reduced costs and beneficial services to the students. Ordinarily, these services would cost much more money and some might not even be available if not offered on a campus basis. After all, by paying our student activities fee, WE are supporting the Record Co-op (as well as all the other student services) and 1 urge The Spectrum staff, as well as all the students at UB, to seriously consider all the facts and and circumstances before giving money to (and taking advertising from) such money-hungry, exploitive retailers like MR. SAVAGE Cavage, - and go to bed early. Be forewarned of the “dagger that gay liberation points at the institutions of heterosexuality,' monogamy and the nuclear family." How dramatic, Richard! A dagger! Please, Mr. Thill, you must take us for fools Gay liberation poses no threat to your all-American dream (or your penis, 1 might add!) It represents a step towards the liberation of mankind from its self-imposed culture. “What is good for the society as a whole?” That was the “most important question” which Mr. Richard Thill posed in his letter of I 1/7. He also went on to say that while freedom for gays would make them happy, it would be imposing on the heterosexual majority. “Freedom from homosexuals is what most Americans want.” Ladies and gentlemen!

To you, thanks, and enjoy the show JTA' Franclemont To athiests and agnostics To the TJilor On October 14 an ad appeared in The Spectrum an interest teaser for a retreat on personal hang-ups. Since .reservations were necessary I received a call from a woman student who asked. "Is this retreat sponsored by a religious organization?" (Space and forgetfulness had precluded the inclusion of that information.) "Yes." I replied. "O.K., goodbye," she said. "Wait, wait!" I yelled; “Why are you so quick to say boodbye?" "I am an atheist and I don't do anything with any organization that is church real ted.” I suggested that she might be interested to know that two or three people already going <>n the retreat were agnostics, if not atheists. But that had no afieyt with her. Some similarwvents have caused me to think further on this issue. Two major points come to mind: limiting and corrective. it seems there was interest present that led this woman to call about the retreat, but since there was religious sponsorship involved that meant an automatic “no-way" response. Consider how limiting that is. A person who rejects any contact with a group because of such a stand limits participation in some experiences that could prove rewarding, growing, and nourishing, and which may not demand a change in that person's belief position. If the subject (content) fellowship is interesting and perl intent, should a person so quickly dispense with it. especially if there are assurances that others of a similar persuasion have been or arc involved, who have not dad to compromise who they are in order to participate, grow, and learn. It might surprise many atheists and agnostics to learn that some participants in religious groups share some of your thoughts and concerns. The corrective point is that religious groups as need atheists and agnostics. Obviously, not all would welcome them, nor even agree that they need them. It has been my experience for five years here that some of the most serious and best thought on religious issues and experiences has been offered by those of you who are atheist or agnostic. Why not get involved and let the churches of religious groups learn from you? Let your thoughts and ideas serve as a corrective to the religious group! 1 am convinced we could all use it, but I especially welcome it, which means atheists and agnostics are always welcome at Wesley Foundation functions; as you are, with no attempt to demand a change of your belief positions, but an open willingness to dialogue so Name withheld upon request Children behave To the Editor. On October 31, at about 4 p.m., while cruising in my car, I spotted a Martian carrying a ray gun. It was about five feet tall, with silver skin, wearing an all silver space suit. 1 flagged down a campus policeman who was traveling in the opposite direction and told him what I saw.

First you put the Yankees on the front page, and then you blame everyone and his sister for the I.D. controversy, and now you cover up the most important story this University has ever had. How much have these silver skinned midgets paid you for your silence? This school needs an independant newspaper, not an apologist for special interests. Let the student population be warned what you read in the newspaper might not be the truth! that we may both learn as we live our faith journey. Atheists and agnostics are especially welcome at Wesley Foundation because we see ourselves as having a questioning model of campus ministry. We believe in asking as many questions as in providing answers. Therefore, we strive to participate in the following; 1. Journey together, search together, grow together, and learn from each other. 2. Be open to allow persons the freedom to participate and make their own decisions, not have the decisions of Wesley Foundation forced on them. 3. Not be dogmatic; we seek credo, not creed. Admit not knowing all the answers, even though we may hold some strong opinions about some. S.

This “Japan Inc.” term is given validity when the teeel firms are “financed by the banks and supported by the government,” according to Smith. Since the Japanese steel firms are able to secure borrowed funds with relative ease from the banks, and the “forces” government horizontal (mergers mergers between firms not involved in or production, retailing, wholesaling of the same product), the Japanese steel industry would, in fact, have an advantage over the American steel industry related Smith. - Labor rate Another interesting comparison is on the subject of NOW PLAYING VALU FIVE u □ for production and of steel products seem up this statement; in same three months >n of steel had decreased rcent and shipments had finished by 11 percent, is indeed the greatest of loss suffered in a in the history of private Staff Writer Richard M.

Incumbent William Pauly, an alumnus of this University, became the first legislator to ever win re-election in the 14th district when he defeated Democrat David Swarts 9,260 votes to 5,655. The 15th district race saw Mary Lou Rath upset Democratic majority leader Dan Ward by 1,689 votes. Another key race was in the 8th district where Michael Alessi knocked off ousted Democratic majority leader Jim Arcadi. Arcadi was running in spite of a bribery indictment, which did not directly involve his governmental position. In this race a third candidate, Lucian Greco of the People’s Choice Party pulled 2,553 votes. Alessi, a county janitor, received 5,043 votes to Arcadi’s 3,650 to give the Republican’s a representative from a city district traditionally reserved for Democrats.

As yet, no one knows which party she will choose. In the 10th district, which includes the Main Street Campus, Joan K. Bozer Republican defeated Joseph E. Ryan by over 4,000 votes.

The Saints are the only Division I team on the Bulls’ 26 game schedule and coach Ed Wright expects the contest to be a good test for his charges. “This contest will give us a good indication of the type of team we have,” he said. “Our freshmen will get a taste of what college hockey is really like.” The Bulls have been practicing for the last three weeks as Wright tries to fill some huge holes in the team. Jack Kaminska and Rick Costello, two of last year’s top scorers, have graduated as has John Moore, who was one of college hockey’s top goaltenders last season. Wright also lost center Ray Gruarin, last year’s leading scorer. Gruarin scored 21 goals and had 34 assists in 1976-77, but he has not returned to school this year.

Since no vote was to be taken at this meeting, parliamentary procedure was being usurped by the debate concerning the amendment. Chairman Lessof pounded his flst on the table, “I’m sorry, but I’m going to have to rule this out of order. The discussion will end.” The discussion ended. Topics 5, 6 and 7 were disposed of.

Delia sat expressionless, awaiting an onslaught lie seemed to fully expect. The onslaught came. A senator charged Delia with not having faith in the student body to be intelligent enough to vote down a “frivolous” amendment. Delia said referendums cost money and that it was too easy to bring them up for a vote. A senator said that gathering petition signatures was no breeze, that he had done it himself. Delia countered by observing, “It’s not that hard.” The amendment was called ridiculous. Delia observed that it was relatively easy tp pass a referendum forcing the executive board “to wear Mickey Mouse hats” and that that was “ridiculous.” The amendment was termed “fascist.” Delia said he did not expect to encounter another referendum himself, and that his proposal was offered out of concern for future administrations.

Sponsored by SA Speakers Bureau and the Black Student Union. Davis remarked that this myth developed as a result of a racist ideology, and is a fabricated and distorted view that has become a dominant theme of American history. “It serves as the fuel which ignites other racist arguments,” she said. The much publicized case in Buffalo of Kenneth Johnson served as a focal point from which Davis initiated her discourse on these historic circumstances and misconceptions. Characterizing most rapists as being white, and wealthy, politically influential, she dted numerous past and current cases in which a black man has been falsely convicted and jailed for the crime of rape. touched on many Davis subjects in her brief historical account, in an effort to alter the generally inaccurate portrait of the black man. She went as far back as the Civil War, which her history books described as “the war for southern independence” and dealt with such recent works as Susan Brownmiller’s Against Our Will , which she called “pervaded with misconceptions and racism.” directed to the women’s anti-rape movement, Davis siad that it was essential that women come to the defense of those men who become victims of racist rape trials. Angela Davis was last in Buffalo to participate in a demonstration demanding the “immediate and unconditional release of the brothers at Attica.” Once again, Davis stressed Attica, where four guards and 39 inmates were killed in the 1971 riot. Calling John Hill, the lone inmate still serving time stemming from the bloody incident, a scapegoat, she advocated the formation of a committee to free him. Davis also labeled former Governor Nelson Rockefeller “the criminal responsible for the massacre at Attica,” and continued by stating that Governor Carey’s amnesty was directed not at the prisoners but rather at the guards. Wilmington Ten trial frightening Davis, who had spent the weekend conducting a workshop on political prisoners imprisoned on rape charges at the fourth annual NAARPR conference in St. Louis, called that movement “one that transcends political differences.” The alliance, among other things, is actively pursuing the case of Rev. Ben Chavis and the Wilmington Ten in North Carolina. The account Davis gave of that trial was truly frightening because she outlined specific fraudulent acts committed by the prosecutor and judge, such as presenting false information and withholding other pertinant facts and coercing the defendants and witnesses into signing false statements, all of which are direct Pursue injustices Davis suggested that the and public miscarriages of justice. audience could first direct its She criticized President Carter for to terming the case “a matter for the energies attention and here in courts” and mocked his belief the rectifying problems Buffalo. She called Ken Johnson’s that human rights are only beiing conviction on rape charges an violated in socialist or communist “incredible injustice” and further countries. stated, “It didn’t matter who they [police] caught as long as it was a Pattern of racism “A pattern of racism is on the black man.” She urged the said Davis, alluding to a rise,” to talk about merely audience not widespread pattern of connected but to actively pursue injustices the victim’s vindication. In a plea racist frame-ups and unjust trials. She saw a connection between an attempt to dismiss black faculty at this University and the economic status of this country, which she related to events in Africa, South and Angola like Mozambique. “People Rockefeller must get their profits from somewhere, so they have turned on us. the working people,” she said Davis stated that the function of racism is to have people fighting against one another and thus lose sight of their real enemy “The gladiators massacre one another as Rockefeller is left laughing,” she intoned softly. In a specific appeal to white people, Davis warned, “If you don’t play a role against racism, you are only hurting yourselves, your parents, your children and your children’s children, for there will be no hope for any of us.” She stated firmly that the answer lies in unity. PE requirement is altered again; link to new gym cited by Harvey Shapiro Con tribu ting Edi tor The University’s see-sawing gym requirement has been altered once more to allow freshmen four years to complete two credits of physical education instead of the originally envisioned one year. The new policy is, in actuality, a replica of the traditional requirement, except that any currently enrolled student with more than 12 credit hours is exempt. Thus the University hopes to “catch up” with the demand for gym courses, which has, in the past, overwhelmed the Department of Recreation, Athletics and Related Instruction (RARI). This fall, after freshmen complaints concerning the unavailability of gym courses, the department survey revealed that only 1300 of 2350 first year students can be accommodated with existing facilities and staff. Hence, the school’s plan to have all freshmen complete two credits of physical education in their first year appeared impossible to implement. Cutting the requirement to one credit was then actively considered as a solution to the space problem. Acting Dean of Undergraduate Education, Walter Kunz, was quoted in the October 3 issue of The Spectrum as saying: “The Committee on Academic Requirements has recommended that because of the lack of staff and facilities, the requirement be changed to one semester of gym for each student.” Plan reconsidered The cutting back of the requirement to one credit, which appeared certain in October, was reconsidered in the weeks following Kunz’ statement. Based on a study undertaken by RAR1, which included previously ignored factors, Kunz has placed his faith in the new plan. Under this plan, Millard Fillmore College students and transfer students will remain exempt from the requirement. Also, the content of all gym courses will be re-evaluated with the intent of granting some courses two-credit status. “There are courses that we give that can be worth two credits,” Chairman of RARI Sal Esposito said, “If a student takes one of the two credit courses he can finish the requirement in one semester.” In addition, class sizes of various courses will be increased where feasible to insure maximum usage of facilities and staff. According to Esposito, 50 percent of a given class of freshmen eventually leave the University before graduation. Esposito feels that, given this fact, the new policy can be workable. “I know the numbers look bad now,” he commented, “but with all factors considered, students should be able to finish the requirement in four years.” Conflicting reports Student Association (SA) President Dennis Delia said he supports the new policy. “I never thought the requirement should have been waived in the first place. If they amended the requirement again, then the Department would have lost faculty.” Delia added that funds for the new Amherst gym would have been cut had the requirement been altered. However, Administration officials did not concur with the gym funding link. Assistant to the President Ron Stein said the funds for the new gym were “just one of many factors taken into consideration.” Vice President for Facilities Planning John Neal said he doubts whether Albany would cut the funds for the gym had the requirements been cut back. “There is recreational space allotted in the plans for the gym which would not be affected by a reduction of the gym course requirement.” Neal concluded that if a change in the requirement would occur, “it would be because of a lack of space, thus showing a need for a new gym facility.” �ij* Carter vetosfunds Energy strategies: choosing nuclear reactor for right path to conservation r-v'* '"'i 5£K Ellicott Complex were in the city (instead of by Walter Simpson Special to The Spectrum stranded in the suburbs) or if it were nearer to other campus facilities.

This gas guzzling might be less if the —continued on page 14— - — - President Carter rejected a bill Wednesday that would have authorized $80 million for a controversial nuclear breeder reactor on the Clinch River in Tennessee. This is the first veto of his administration. Carter said approval of the experimental reactor, which would be fueled by plutonium, would “imperil the Administration’s policy to curb proliferation of nuclear weapons technology.” Carter and other critics of the use of breeder reactors have contended that their world-wide use would result in a steady increase in the number of nations capable of producing nuclear weapons. Supporters of the breeder reactor program have argued that there will ultimately be a shortage of uranium as fuel for conventional reactors and that new, experimental reactors designs would greatly increase the period in which atomic power plants could generate electricity. Carter said the breeder reactor project would be “technically and economically unnecessary.” Stuart Eizenstat, Carter’s assistant for domestic policy, said that the President was confident that his veto would be sustained by Congress. It takes a two-thirds vote in both the House and Senate to override a veto. Endorsed by Nixon The Clinch River project, strongly endorsed by former President Nixon as the solution to future energy shortages, was to be built at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, as a demonstration of the feasibility of breeder reactor technology. As such, the project had become a major goal of the nuclear industry in the United States, which lobbied heavily for it over the last few months. Because of the concern over the ease with which plutonium fuel could be made into atomic bombs by underdeveloped nations and even terrorist groups, many environmental groups and public affairs lobbying organizations strenuously opposed the plan. Carter, who was once a nuclear engineer, said that the breeder project, if completed, “would be a large and unnecessarily expensive project” and “in no way is necessary to ensure the continued development of nuclear technologies, including liquid metal fast breeder technology.” The federal cost of building the breeder project has now grown to an estimated $2 billion.

Department-wide response resulted from a quote appearing in an article which detailed disputes between the Cellular Molecular Biology Division (CMB) and Environmental and Organismal Division (Biology). A Biology faculty source had been quoted as saying, “Out of the Street to Hochstetter at Amherst, Albany for no lab space had been established appropriations Hochstetter, administration for Dr. Bahl, since he had never granted CMB 4000 square feet of been moved to Cary upon talcing position with CMB. space and (Chairman of the this Consequently, seeking to move department Dr. Om P.)

A that after the Albany allocations, Biology faculty source stated that space was granted by Bahl in Bahl was granted the allocation as proportion to the activity carried a concession for holding both by individuals. Hence, Bahl, on positions of Chairman of who brings in somewhere around Biological Sciences and Director $200,000 to $300,000 in grants of CMB. It was further stated that had to be included in the according to the Albany formula allocations. for Hochstetter, “A certain The general dispute which amount of money for equipment confronted Bahl’s allocation is provided per square foot of centered around what division receives space.

The Brings in grants divisional allocations are the However, Dr. John Segal of the responsibility of the CMB Division, revealed that when administration (in this case. Bahl) space allocations were made for and are based on the needs and the move from Cary on Main activities of each division. The department’s Fall, 1975 figures enrollment student generated 48,430 square feet of (excluding space total in University classrooms). The administration recommended that both division be assigned a total of 55,000 net square feet (excluding classrooms). This allow increased would for enrollment by Fall, 1977. administration The also that Bahl be recommended an assigned additional 4000 square feet of space beyond that which is justified by Biological Sciences. The term assigned to this “extra” space is “University Policy Space,” which Jeffrey defined as that contained within a general “university-wide” pool. Equipment funding It was decided that Biology would be assigned 52,960 net square feet (nsf) including space for Bahl. Thus, Biology was getting 48,960 nsf with an additional 4000 nsf for Bahl, which was to be credited against research organized (university-wide). In regard to the equipment funding differences arose as to should be money whether allocated to Biology and CMB accprding to the square footage independently each division generated or whether allocations should follow a formula stated by BAhl which divided the Albany grant equally between the two division after his $180,000 was taken from the top. University figures showed the generated by space total enrollment of the two divisions to be 54,192.4. From this total it was calculated according to is why we are looking for as much input is currently being sought concerning the type of stores and services that could be housed in the soon to be Sub Board is a student run book coop.

A forum will be held Monday, November 14, at three o’clock in Haas Lounge for students interested in working on this project. SASU is also working with the UB Foundation to cut the cost of construction to a bare minimum so as to keep the rents as low as possible, according to Clifford. “We are trying to make sure that unnecessary there are no expenses, which would reflect on the rent, which would eventually effect prices,” he said. SASU is also pushing for a simple building design to further cut the overall Student input as we can possibly get.” One idea that has been introduced to constructed commercial mall on the Amherst Campus. Student of the Association State (SASU) Universities Representative Allen Clifford and Vice President of Sub Board Jeff Lessoff are in charge of soliciting student opinions regarding the mall, which will be located on the IS.6 acres of land adjacent to Lake LaSalle, known as Parcel B. The mall will have a 70,000 square feet retail capacity, 20,000 square feet of office space and a 150 unit hotel.

The VA Hospital, located directly from the Main Street Campus, only has 875 available spaces for its 1300 employees, according to VA Assistant Chief of Staff J.J. Pulli. Captain Jack Eggert of University Police claimed, “Approximately four VA cars a day are cited in the Bailey lot.

Pulli was questioned why the Hospital doesn’t increase its available parking facilities. He said, ‘They have plans for a parking ramp that would take years, though.” Pulli also added that “dead land” adjacent to the Hospital was to be made into a 125 space lot, which students and VA employees could use, but Councilman William Price defeated the bill. Price explained, ‘The bill that came through was a turkey one, and there were manifold reasons why I was against it. First of all, there would be no return to the City. Many of the parks have been closed down, Grover is one of the few left. Third, many of the veterans were against the lot because they maintained that other people besides veterans would be using the lot. Fourth, the building of the lot may run a run on Grover, housing projects may break through.” '■ Pulli also complained that “from Bailey and South Park Avenue cars are allowed to park on both sides of the street, but from Winspear and Bailey to Bailey and Main, the widest stretch of the street, people are only allowed to park on one side of the street.” Pulli further complained that the Town of Amherst has shut off parking on Mona and Jasper Streets, behind the VA Hospital. He pointed out that “2200 students at this University come in for use of VA facilities.” Pulli was asked if workers were instructed to stay out of the Bailey Lot because of the parking problem. “Yes, they arc,” he responded.

Davey explained that; 1) The death rate per 10,000 motorcycles decreases at a steady “Is The ‘Mandatory’ Helmet A ‘Killer’ Helmet?” rate between 1948-1960, attributed to slow asked the Troy Times Record on October 8, 1976. technological advances. 2) The leveling of the rate in A photograph in the paper showed a group of the mid 60’s was due to a concurrent 40 percent motorcyclist- mourners gathered around a coffin in jump of motorcycles on the road, dramatically front of which a large bouquet of flowers formed a raising the number of new riders. 3) The rate once motorcycles. If the headline or the flowers didn’t again resumes a decrease in the late 60’s (helmet law 1967) at much the same slope as the 1948-1960 grab attention of readers, the helmet on top of the coffin surely did. The article insisted that the biker’s period, after the percent change in registrations helmet which the law forced him to wear caused resumes a normal pattern. Ed Armstrong, ABATE representative from Illinois, remarked that the the biker’s death. Are helmets decreasing the motorcycle decrease in death rate is independent of whether or enthusiast population?

In other words, helmets would seemingly result in a significant increase in the have reversed the trend of a decreasing death rate, number of deaths per accident. But a study in according to the National Safety Council report. Finally, the American Motorcycle Association Arizona, offered by Ross E.

A (AMA) made a careful study of all the states and comparison of the six-month period following the listed the fatality to accident ratio of 18 states repeal with the same, six-month period of the before and after implementing helmet laws.

The individual inside the costume was not a student interested in showing off his talents, but rather Don Lehn, otherwise known as “Moonbean,” who earns his livelihood as a magician. The twenty-five year old Lehn sees himself as a medieval type figure in a technological world. He profession takes his quite seriously and has relied on magic as the main source of his income for the past three years. Using the environment as his stage, Lehn effectively combines magic and mime to attract his audience. To maintain attention, he utilizes a simple repetoire of props, consisting of rope, balls, water and his hands and face. Lehn defines his role of magician as someone who “manipulates the attention of his audience, making them believe something they know is not true.” Out of costume, Lehn is a strikingly intelligent and articulate individual who enjoys the life he leads. He noted that while performing extremely is gratifying, preparation of acts require hard work and long hours. But he also admits that he is running a business. “It is a maintains Lehn, business,” adding, “1 get people’s attention and hold on to it, long enough to reap the benefits.” Removes facade two Don has created characters, Moonbean and Alf the Clown, each of whom reflects the personality of their inventor. “The characters are an awful lot like me, but then I did create them,” remarked Lehn. In reference to Moonbean, who Lehn sees as himself, he said, “When 1 walk down the street 1 find myself being him in the real world.

A character is something you create and you must be able to get out of it. When I’m out of costume, I’m Don not Moonbean,” he added. Lehn has a undergone transformation of attitude and vocational direction during the past seven years. He originally attended the University of Michigan pursuing an Engineering degree. While at Michigan, he shifted to philosopher and writer. Don then attended this University for eight months prior to transferring to the University of Grenoble, in France. Street-side shows It was in France that Lehn helped compile a children’s book enabling him to graduate from Buffalo. At this point in time he realized what his true course in life should be. After spending the two years in France, Lehn returned to the United States, performing in Boston. Aside from his traveling street-side shows, Don was hired by the Boston Public Schools where he taught and performed professionally. Last year he returned to Europe, where he learned about the European circus on a first hand basis. “The circus in Europe is different than that of the ones in the U.S.,” said Lehn, who observed a dozen European drcuses in his travels. While in Morocco, Lehn was hired for a brief time as a circus clown. He said he and his partner attracted huge crowds of people in their street-side shows in the city of Marrakesh. numerous During performances, the crowd became too intensely involved, and surrounded the two so tightly, Lehn related, that they were unable to continue their performance. Nevertheless, Lehn made a substantial living in Morocco. He crisply said, “1 know Morocco is always going to be there. If things get tough, I can always go back there.” When Don told me he was from Island Roslyn, Long (Long-guy-land), 1 nearly fell out of my chair. I too grew up there, and as it turns out, we are neighbors. We ended up talking about people we both knew, and ranked on high school teachers we both had. Went too far Roslyn is a community that status, cherishes and Lehn obviously has deviated from the community’s norm. So, what do his think of his parents profession? “Originally, I was going to be an engineer, then a philosopher; then 1 turned from writing to performing mime. When I became a clown, that went too far in their said Lehn. He eyes,” acknowledged that his family does support him, however, but he is proud of the fact that he hasn’t had to ask his parents for money during the past several years. In fact, Lehn is making a pretty good living. “I’m really happy at what I’m doing,” he realted. “My work —Coker allows me to travel and it’s fun to regrets about the life he leads. He be out there performing. It is an only wished he found his talents exciting creative profession.” sooner, so he could have Besides being emjoyable, Lehn’s developed his abilities at a work is financially rewarding. younger age.

Dance fever Timeless enthusiasmfor dancing here by Craig Lyall Spectrum Staff Writer “Gotta dance, gotta dance,” so went. the popular song Apparently such were the feelings of 600 people at this University who signed up for dance classes last year. Interest in dancing is timeless and universal, director of the Dance Program Linda Swiniuch informs. “Historically, people never stopped dancing even when prohibited; when chased off the church altar, they moved to the church steps, and from there to the theater carts.” The number of dancing students is especially significant, Swiniuch notes, in light of the fact that only about six of them choose dance as a major. It seems that students are enrolling in dance classes out of sheer enthusiasm. The dance program here is sponsored jointly by the Physical Education and Theatre Arts Departments, the latter offering a much greater proportion of dance courses. Diverse ‘Zodiague’ “Dance is more interesting as it is related to the theatre; there’s an atmosphere of more things going on,” comments Swiniuch, who works under the Theatre Arts umbrella. “Dance never interests me in isolation,” she says, a reason why she sees various possibilities for interdisciplinary majors in dance. Swiniuch had one student follow a duo major in dance and anthropology. The relation of dance to architecture is perhaps more “Dance expands immediate. possibilities of space,” she says, “increasing one’s awareness of space, of the ways different spaces affect us.” Swiniuch feels the dance program has an obligation to the students to expose them to as wide a variety of conditions and situations as possible. The places Swinuich and “Zodiague,” her company of dancers, have chosen to perform reflect the intention. They diversity of have danced on the lawn of Artpark, on church altars, in tents, on Greenfield Street and in Niagara Square, using heavy equipment, construction and platforms, buildings fountains. This adaptability to was atmosphere particularly evident when Swiniuch accepted an invitation to perform at Albion spring. last Penetentiary Performing pieces from several veins of dance, Swiniuch notes that the men liked her tap dancing the best, as she tapped away on ‘Tits and teeth’ paramount aim is “to express the original joy or pleasure of movement.” The enthusiastic response to this “tits and teeth dancing” seems fairly representative. “Even the most educated, when given a sampling of different types of dancing, dig jazz the most,” Swiniuch comments. “It seems they really like the sexy stuff.” And sexy dance has certainly been at various times in history. During the Roman Empire it became lascivious and lewd. Perhaps, Swiniuch speculates, it is this association of dance with physicality and sensuousness that has made many universities reluctant to recognize it as an academically viable subject. But, she adds, dance certainly is not mindless. Her own dancing, she hopes, does more than entertain; whether her dancing conveys an idea or creates a mood, its Strapped by a lack of funding a lack which she feels is disproportionate to the interest in dance the dance program has been keeping a minimal staff. And the situation looks as unfavorable for dance as it does for all of the arts. “The arts have always been regarded as frill; they’re the first to go,” an interesting societal bias Swiniuch adds, “when so much evidence points to the fact that the visual and performing arts have profound effects on people.” The dance program at this University offers courses in ballet from beginning through character and point work, all levels of modern, and choreography composition included, jazz and tap, and dance history.

Page five �FSA upholds contract position ’ by Carol DiBart Spectrum either. Doty explained the Board’s position. He said, “When the Board service contracts were originally made, studens were given to understand that the academic year ended on May 21, and the FSA Board, in consultation with its lawyers, decided the contracts terminated on that date, regardless of any extension of the academic year.” to IRC Vice According President Barry Rubin and SA President Dennis Delia, “IRC and SA had planned to take the matter of board students paying extra to court.” Asked why neither IRC nor SA went to court, Delia replied, “Because there were no receipts. There was no way of knowing which board students had paid extra for their meals that week. Therefore, there was no proof that a student did pay extra.” Hosie explained there were no receipts because “IRC had made the suggestion to us that receipts be given and receipts were made available, but they were given only to those students that asked for them.” Because Food Service did make a profit last year, both Hosie and Doty said that reconsideration of the decision * Staff Writer The Faculty Student Association (FSA) has reaffirmed its position that board contracts terminate on the date specified in the contract, regardless of any extension of the academic year, according to FSA Treasurer and Vice President for Finance and Management Edward Doty. Because of the extension of the last academic year caused by the blizzard, students on board were required to pay extra for any meals they ate during the week in May that was added. The Student Association (SA) and the Inter-Residence Council (IRC) have protested the surcharge for months. No receipts available Food and Vending Service Director Donald Hosic explained, “The budget for Food Service for last semester was based on the academic calendar as of January I.

The sales for that week were only $520. Food Service actually lost $7,000 that week in labor and food.” When asked if there was any way to prevent Food Service from charging board contract students extra if the same situation should arise again, Rubin explained, “Because of changes in the FSA Board, students now have 50 percent of the vote and can block any proposals not for the students’ best interests.” When asked to explain in light of Food Service’s S44.000 profit last semester, why Hosie believed there would be a loss, he said, ‘The decision of the Board was made in April and at that time Food Service had not projected any substantial profit. Food Service must make some profit so we can buy supplies for the next semester The May sales were unexpectedly high and a profit was made.” Writing Place to obtain a fee schedule. ‘Viewpoints’ sought As part of an effort to become more responsive to our readers. would like to know what you would like to read, j.e., what issues you feel arc most important.

Shushan was born in Mogvala, Morocco, He is a descendant of a family of Rabbinical scholars and Kabbalists who were heads of the Jewish courts dating back to a time prior to the Spanish Inquisition He has been singing since the age of seven when he sang in his father’s synagogue. Mr. Shushan is quite proficient at what he does and often tells stories woven around a song. Whether the listener is acquainted with his type of music makes no difference, since he is quite entertaining. In 1968 Aharon came to the U.S. to pursue his rabbinical studies at the Mirrer Yeshiva in Brooklyn. He was 14 at that time. The Shabbatop will begin on November 11 at 5:30 p.m. at the Chabad Student Center, 3292 Main Street, with services led by Shushan. At the Shabbat dinner he will sing some Middle-Eastern and Sephardic melodies with culinary delights. On November 12, morning services will begin at 10 a m. followed by a luncheon at which Shushan will entertain. On November 12 at 8:30 p.m. in the Chabad Student Center, 2501 North Forest Road (take bridge behind Wilkeson Quad) he will hold a public concert of Sephardic selections accompanied by an instrumental ensemble. A festive meal will be served of Sephardic food, and some vegetarian entrees will be served. All are welcome! Food Service complaints IRC and Hosie discuss gripes by Brace Latman Staff Writer Spectrum A delegation from the Inter Residence Council (IRC) met with Director of Food and Vending Services Donald Hosie Friday to discuss wide-ranging student grievances concerning Food Service operations. Representing the students were SA Vice President of Sub Board Jeff Lessoff and IRC Vice President for Activities Planning Barry Rubin. The first item of controversy was the Wilkeson Pub. Rubin asked for a price list of all mixed drinks to make a comparison between Pub prices and the prices at various local bars. Hosic assured him that such a list exists and that one would be furnished immediately. At this point, Lessoff inquired about the admission charge ($1) to the Pub. “It pays for the band,” said Hosie. He added, “The admission charge goes to a band account and we pay the band from there.” Lessoff pursued the matter further. “Why can’t we lower the price for students and raise the price for non-students,” he asked. “Last year the admission charge was sometimes $.50, $.75 or $1.00. This year it’s always $1.00.” malfunctioning, and Hosie responded, “1 want to know where machines could be used, if there are machines regularly malfunctioning.” Governors troubles Rubin moved on to the results of a poll “of various floors of Governors” concerning food service. The feeling among the dorm’s residents was that the absence of week-end contract meals was an inconvenience, but that a larger inconvenience was the hours set for dinner (4:30-6:30 p.m.). Rubin stated that the students would like to have dinner extended thirty minutes every night. “An extension of hours is an expansion of the payroll,” replied Hosie. A student present at the meeting spoke of the problem some students had who have classes from 4:30 to 6:20. Hosie answ red, “If a student has a schedule problem, there are three things that we can do; we can save him a hot meal, which is the least desirable; we can pack a box lunch; or we can give credit for a cash line.” Hosie did not dismiss extending the hours 7 p.m., saying he would “look into it.” Twenty percent of the students come in at 4:30. In the GUicott complex we have two units. We’ll keep one open until seven on an experimental basis. Then we’ll see; if we have a small percentage participating, we’ll move it back.” Pub lost money Hosie explained that last year the Pub lost money because of two free concerts that were given Understaffing for die students at tne end of Spring 77. He Rubin asked if there was a possibility that the explained the charge this year was to make up the Richmond and Red Jacket lines were understaffed. deficit. “We have been getting students who have been hired Rubin stated that students have complained but haven’t shown up for work,” Hosie explained. because of a lack of “something to do” with closing Rubin questioned the ratio of on-campus/off-campus time at the Pub set for one o’clock a.m. Hosie employees. “Can we have a proportional amount of explained that the Administration is trying to on-campus student help in contract areas?” Hosie downplay the role of alcohol at this University and explained, “We would prefer to get on campus that the closing time for the Pub was set by the student help, but we also prefer to get experienced University of Buffalo Alchohol Review Board (ARB) help I would hesitate to discriminate against in response to complaints from students concerning off-campus help because they are such good the late night noise level. “They (ARB) set the experienced labor. Most contract students are closing hours,” said Hosie, “they recommended that freshmen and sophomores.

When it was built as a part of the Works Progress Administration program in the mid-thirties, the arena was described by a federal official as “the shining example of federal munificence and magnificence in the local works project.” It is War Memorial Stadium. Today, the “old rockpile” is seldom used, but often abused. Only the professional Buffalo Blazers of the North American Soccer League have found a purpose for the stadium by playing their home games within walls, the concrete and as Masten outgoing councilperson Vincent W. Wilson points out, “After the Buffalo Bills left at the end of the 1972 football season there simply has not been much use found for the park.” This same situation existed in the late fifties when the then Masten councilperson Cora Maloney made a proposal to demolish the stadium. The Board of Education then asked if it could build a school there. However, Offerman Stadium, the home of the Buffalo Bisons of the International League, was leveled instead. Then in 1959, the baseball Bisons of the International League and the Buffalo Bills of the newly formed American Football League signed contracts to play in the stadium and it had new life. The W.P.A. stadium project was opened on October 16, 1937, when a crowd of 35,000 showed up to see Colgate nip Tulane University 7-6 in college football action. At the time, the stadium was named after Charles E. Roesch, who was the mayor of Buffalo from 1930 to 1934, and who had recently died. However, naming the stadium was not easy for the city council. The common council even went as far as to decide to name the stadium after Grover Cleveland, and then in the same meeting, changed its mind and went back to Roesch. When the council voted to mount a bronze plaque on the stadium wall honoring Frank Carr, a former Democratic Party Chairman, Mrs. Roesch asked that her husband’s name be removed from any connection with the sports arena. So in December of 1937 the name was changed to Buffalo Civic Stadium. Then, in August of 1960, the stadium was rededicated as War Memorial Stadium in honor of all citizens who served in the armed forces. watch a sporting event at Civic Diego 20-7 50,988, watched Stadium, Kensington defeat Bennett 26 to Problems The Bills repeated the next 8 in high school gridiron action. 1949, Civic year, but lost the championship From 1946 to Stadium was also the home of a against Kansas City in 1966.

Without finance, he said, there is nothing that will regenerate any life in the stadium since no one has identified a use for the stadium. Councilperson Vincent Wilson sees the future of War Memorial Stadium as somewhat bright. Programs, which include federal block-grant funds, will be put to use within the next three years. Wilson points to the possibilities of high school football returning there, and says the professional softball Buffalo Breski’s might play some dates at the park. Whatever its use may be, Wilson claims that Masten residents would like to see the “rockpile” put back to use. The use would bring people into the area which would hopefully generate revenue in the district and promote community development. outsider An from the surrounding communities of Buffalo has to be skeptical of any plans to resurrect the stadium because the area in which it is located has such a tarnished reputation, Arthur Eve indicated. It will take much more than talk and proposals during political campaigns to convince these people otherwise. The Buffalo Blazers soccer games were about as well attended as the last games of the baseball Bisons. If action is not taken to draw suburbanites back to the city, Buffalo’s future as a major city may become even more jeopardized. War Memorial Stadium is only one of many sore spots to be dealt with by incoming officials of the “City of Good Neighbors.” See Ron or else All clubs and organizations desiring publicity in The Spectrum must be approved by Ron Washington, Student Association Director of Publicity.

The Spectrum Page seven . �EDITORIAL Down of Eve That the mayoral election yesterday was of such paramount importance to the very survival of this city and to all those who wish to be numbered among its inhabitants must be emphasized and re-emphasized, not only as a prologue to what changes could occur but as subtle pressure on the new admipistration to act quickly: to fire and hire the right people quickly, to apply for the right funds for the right projects quickly and to make sure that Buffalo is prepared to deal with another Blizzard of 77 without death or serious loss of work or school time. It is being assumed at the time of this writing that Arthur Eve wili/did win the election and that he is carrying in a new era of progressive change on his shoulders, the likes of which Buffalo has not witnessed. He will fight the corruption and deep-rooted ineffectiveness of the "boss machine," and instill in Buffalonians a certain confidence, not simply a civic pride, that their elected government officials will really listen, will ge out into the streets and demand what must be done, an; will not just wallow away in City Hall and at luncheons at the Statler Hilton. Perhaps for the first time ever, black citizens of Buffalo can literally dance in the streets because their man, a man they feel they can really trust and from whom they can expect more than empty promises, a man who finds his political roots in the black community, is Mayor. Also for the first time, white citizens here will be forced to admit that a black man can take care of their business and lead the city out of min. Public trust arfd confidence in an elected official is important and perhaps uncharacteristic of a city divided along such ethnic lines. Eve will bridge the gap. If he doesn't, and this city will not reverse its steady decline, it will be because white elected officials amd their constituents will not support his programs and City Hall will become the scene of a political race war. , Don't laugh. Every good, American liberal is supposed to deny it and smoothe it over and not talk to the press about it, but race and religion are as influential in American politics as is money. (You know, his is the only opinion that counts; he's paying, you're not.) Who said that? Someone in the Record who cares. it doesn't really fit, but Coop yesterday ... ... So, even if the New York Times does not feel that Buffalo's mayoral race is important (of approximately an entire page of mayoral stories, Buffalo received a one-line notice to the effect that one of the candidates was a black man), local newspapers know better. The life of the city is at stake. So, Arthur 0. Eve, Buffalo embraces you with open arms. Buffalo is watching your every move, intently. Buffalo has no choice. The SpccTi^iiM Vol. 28.

As for there not being enough bathroom facilities, this is entirely the fault of an inadequate Gym.

Steve Pena, Division Director University Union A ctivities Board Jeffrey Lessoff /, of communists To the Editor. On Friday, October 28, my letter concerning Bruce Beyer appeared in The Spectrum. Nowhere in my letter did I defend the U.S. for their actions in supporting oppressive regimes. I feel as bad for the people of Chile as I do for the peoples of Eastern Europe. However, Ms. Aretaki-Smith is misguided in her thinking that the U.S. is defending right-wing dictatorships because of business interests. She states that wars are fought only so the rich can prosper even more. This is an outright lie, for all our efforts overseas, military and non-military have been made to halt the growth of worldwide Soviet domination; nothing more, nothing less. In her letter, she states that we Americans enjoy only “an illusion of liberty.” If the freedom that the peoples of the West enjoy is just an illusion, then why have so many East Germans risked their lives to try and escape across the Berlin Wall? Why did the people in South Vietnam cling desperately to the wings of the last American planes to evacuate Saigon in 1975? Why did so many Vietnamese beg to be taken along to America, so they wouldn’t have to face the Communist “liberators”? Why did the Hungarians and the Czechs revolt in 1956 and 1968, respectively? Why do thousands flee the Ugandan border into Kenya every day? Why have so many Soviet and Red Chinese pilots and military personnel defected, to the West? And why do Ukrainian dissidents such as Valentyn Moroz look towards the West for help? Somehow, the freedom we have, which is the source of strength for so many oppressed people, has to be more than an illusion, for if we did not have freedom here, than the Communists would not have barricaded their borders to stop people from fleeing to the West. In 1976, I had the priceless opportunity to tour the Soviet Union. I say “priceless” because 1 stayed away from the set Intourist itineraries, and went off on my own to discover how the people really live. What I saw appalled me. The newspapers carry the same garbage day after day: “Lenin . . . Glory to the Party . . Glory to Lenin . . . Glory to the Struggling Working Class . . .” Churches were boarded shut. Living conditions were disgusting. Goods we take for granted such as faded Levis or toilet paper are precious commodities. Everywhere you look a harsh, cold, banner of Lenin stares you in the face. The younger generation is nothing more than an army of mindless zombies, incapable of individual thought, dedicated only to the destruction of Capitalism, America, and the American way of life. And boy, do they start brainwashing the kids early! I visited a nursery school in Ternopil (western Ukraine). After being introduced as “the rich, American capitalist” (Who, Me?), the children recited a poem for me. “Lenin gives us bread, Lenin makes the sun shine and makes the crops grow, Lenin puts a bright smile on the happy Young Octobrists (Communist youth league for children 3-6), Lenin . .” These are three and four year old children, mind you. . Gerard Sternosky Gail Bass Corydon Ireland Paulette Buraczenski .. . Danny Parker Harold Goldberg .Carol Bloom .. Mercy Carroll Mika Foreman .Andrea Rudnor Paige Miller One big problem that U.U.A.B. faces is that when they put on a show downtown, the cost of the show is increased immensely. Therefore, only a few of the concerts will be put on downtown and theese should be even bigger acts than Dave Bromberg. The main thing that people are forgetting is that in years past, we never had problems with overcrowded concerts. Very few of the shows were financial successes. A lot of credit must be given to Rich Saltus U.U.A.B. Music Chairman for bringing back to Buffalo the best in Music. If the new Gym is ever guilt on the Amherst Campus, there will be seating capacity of 10,000 (Ten thousand) seats. Can you imagine Jethro Tull . America must take all steps necessary to prevent any more nations from having to be subjected to such a way of life as described above. If it means uprooting the Allende regime in Chile and jailing all of Allende’s cronies, then so be it. If it means supplying military aid to Rhodesia to prevent another Angola from happening, then so be it. Soviet domination must be stopped. The Russian, Red Chinese, and Cuban governments must be <$adi&fed. Communism must be wiped off the face of this earth. America is not a perfect country. We do make mistakes. We do have some boneheads like Senator McCarthy, Richard Nixon, or more recently Anita Bryant, who think it’s their business to suppress certain people because of their beliefs. But the fact is, this country is blessed by God. Nowhere in the world is there a country as wonderful as this one. The U.S. didn’t send tanks into Budapest in 19S6 or Prague in 1968. The Russians did. The U.S. didn’t march into Berlin in 194S and bludgeon thousands of Germans to death, as the Russians did. The U.S. did not build a wall across Berlin, as the Russians did. We didn’t march into Cambodia and turn their capital into a giant bloodbath, as the Khmer Rouge did. The CIA isn’t sending intelligence agents into Uganda to offer courses in terrorism, as the KGB is. We aren’t taking a 1000-year old Ukrainian nation and slowly destroying it, as the Russians are. And why not? Because America stands for freedom and dignity for all nations. If we aren’t going to save the world from the horrible disease of Communism, then who is? I am not “a good soldier boy.” On the contrary, I have chosen a career in business administration over a military life. Also, I am not a person with “no brains, just a flexible spinal cord” either. I deplore many things that the government is doing, and I speak out on various issues quite often, thus I am not a “vegetating audience.” Thank God we enjoy and not life, liberty, and the pursuit of just an illusion, for otherwise neither you not I would be around to criticize the government today, if we were not truly free. And finally, I am not debating whether Bruce Beyer is morally right or not. The fact is, we do have laws in this country, laws which have been good enough for 200 years to sustain this nation. Mr. Beyer has broken some of these laws, and was tried, convicted, and sentenced. Then he jumped bail, which is also a crime. I see no reason why Mr. Beyer should not have to pay his debt to society just as any lawbreaker would have to. Why is he someone special? Let him go to prison just as any other criminal would have to. Fortunately all our heroic fighting men didn’t run away as Bruce Beyer did, for I am confident that if nobody had been there when it came time to fight for this country, right at this moment we’d be learning what the “illusion of liberty” really means. The Ukrainian people and other Slavic peoples know that meaning all too well. Andrew A Kulyk Page eight. The Spectrum Wednesday, 9 November 1977 . �*R*S Long playing Co-op To the Editor. Upon reading last Wednesday’s The Spectrum article about Cavage’s lawsuit against the Record Co-op, we were a bit irrate to turn the page and find a good sized ad for Cavages’ Record sale. We feel it had no right to be in The Spectrum. Our deep sense of loyalty towards UB and in particular the Record Co-op stems from their indirect gift of life to us. You see, thanks to the money we saved at the Co-op, we were able to accumulate enough money to finance a life-saving operation for our mother. We wonder how prompt Mr. Cavage would have been to pay for this costly operation. God only knows how many lives have been saved by the Co-op’s low prices. Support the Co-op. Isn’t there someone at home whose life you would like to be long playing. FEEDBACK Zionism is not Judaism Power to the People, To the Editor. Nan A Jan Kaparon In their Oct. 26 letter to The Spectrum "A Jewish Homeland” Prince and Granot adopt the usual Zionist approach in attempting to rationalize the brutal murder of the unarmed Arab inhabitants of Palestine by Israeli Prime Minister Begin's Zionist terrorist gangs, the colonialist imperialist usurpation of Arab land and property, and the eviction of two million Palestinian Christians and Moslems from their native country: Palestine. Moreover, they falsely identify Zionism and Judaism ignoring the fact that Judaism is a religion, and that Zionism is an imperialist, colonialist, and racist political movement which originated and flourished in Europe and is still led by Europeans. We would, therefore, like to call the readers' attention to a well-known truth namely, that even today after 29 years of the State of Israel's existence, there is a vast majority of Jews in the Holy Land and in the entire world who are opposed to Zionism and to the Zionist State. now makes the Nevertheless, Zionism preposterous claim that Zionism is synonymous with Judaism, and that anti-Zionism is anti-Judaism. Let us recall that the first objections and oppositions to the racist objectives, doctrines and program of Zionism were voiced by Jews prominent Jewish intellectuals, prominent Jewish thinkers and prominent Jewish organizations. Long before Zionism had become a cancerous growth, it was within the Jewish community that the claim of Zionism to be coextensive with and identical to Judaism was refuted. Today, only an infinitesimal minority of Jews are enrolled in the Zionist organization and consider themselves card-carrying active Zionists. Even in this country where the Zionist organization is as strong as it is anywhere else, and perhaps much stronger than it is in many countries, the membership of the Zionist organization is a minority membership within the large body of American Jews. We too reject the Zionist claim that Zionism is synonymous with Judaism. We in the Arab World, be we Jewish Arabs, Christian Arabs, or Moslem Arabs, have nothing but reverence for Judaism as a faith, as a holy religion, and as a tradition or religious and spiritual values. As Jews, we are devoted to our religion. As Christians, we revere Judaism which Jesus proclaimed he came to fulfill not to destroy. We revere Judaism as Moslems whose faith teaches respect and veneration for all the prophets of Judaism. We reject the Zionist claim that Zionism is coextensive with Judaism and the Jewish people. To refute the Zionist claim, we need only mention one of the numerous atrocious crimes perpetrated by the Zionists against the Jewish people; The London Times reported in its Nov. 25, 1940 issue that the Zionist terrorists blew up the S.S. Patna in Haifa harbour killing 268 Jewish immigrants just because they refused to be “Zionized.” As Rabbi Elmer Berger, the founder of the American Council for Judaism and the leading Jewish anti-Zionist spokesman in the United States puts it: “Because the facts and the relevant law speak for themselves, many of us have long been anti-Zionists. Articulating our anti-Zionism as opposition to these Zionist practices, we believe we are articulating our deepest commitment to humanistic, liberal, democratic values. The inequities which Zionism has inflicted on Palestine and Palestinians and the violence Zionism does to the moral and ethical values of Judaism and Christianity continue. We anti-Zionists will therefore continue our opposition to Zionism. We are neither confused by the orchestrated husteria nor stampeded.” Indeed, Zionism is not synonymous with Judaism; for it can only be synonymous with RACISM and COLONIALISM in their most savage - No to reactor To the Editor. The following letter was sent to the President of the United States, Jimmy Carter. Dear President Carter Thank you for your continued opposition to the Clinch River breeder reactor. We agree with you about the need to avoid becoming dependent on plutonium as a source of energy. We realize that a single plutonium breeder operating at full capacity will process 2,000-4,000 and it only takes a pounds of plutonium a year few pounds of plutonium to make an atomic bomb. — ‘The Spectrum 9 decaying To the Editor After reading through the Wednesday, November 2nd issue of The Spectrum, I became thoroughly disgusted when I found on page 12 a full page ad declaring this date to be Palestine Day. This ad has at the top of the page a picture of an Israeli soldier and a young girl. The picture was evidently placed in the ad to stir up some emotion for the Palestinian cause and against Israel. No mention is made that a) for all we know the young girl could have attracted the soldier and b) under what situation the picture was taken. Being a student at this University for the past two years, I have seen many an argument made over a policy that The Spectrum has had about accepting advertisements. I have seen ads for Oui and Playboy We do not want to live in a world where terrorists, criminals and all countries have atomic weapons. Nor do we want to live in the police state that would be necessary to guard against the diversion or theft and misuse of such incredibly dangerous materials. - Arlana Cohen Lee Scott Perez Gary T.

It is both one sided in nature, and against the guidelines that I have seen used in the past by The Spectrum. In conclusion 1 would like to say that I personally feel that The Spectrum is decaying and rotting under its present leadership. This newspaper seems to be making a lot of mistakes in terms of its direction and the purpose that it is here for. It is time that the leadership, especially Mr. Kline, wake up and realize who they are serving, what The Spectrum ’s main reason for existing is, and to use a little common sense and intelligence in its editorial direction. David L. Seitelman Abortion is murder To the Editor caters to those humans. The same treatment should to unborn humans, otherwise a definite inconsistency is pointed to. And while most of the unborn children cannot function physically on their own, neither can those of us who need iron lungs, artificial kidneys, etc. The unborn are as human as we are, because percentage of development does not determine humanness, at least not in our country’s be given Recently I wrote a letter concerning the Committee to Reverse the Bakke Decision. The responses 1 got dealt not with the Committee, but with a section of my letter discussing federally funded abortions. As abortion seems to be a big topic, I am requesting space for a letter on it, if The Spectrum is responsible enough to print something in contrast to its obvious pro-abortion policy. I noticed a contradiction between the two responses to me (The Spectrum, October 19). One young woman condemned the unavailability of any free sterilization operations, while another young woman condemned the federal government’s liberty in financing them on demand. Of course, such inconsistencies tend to occur when a people’s position on an issue is weak. And to set the record straight, it is silly to accuse anyone as much against abortion as I am, of ever taking a chance on fathering an illegitimate child who may end up being aborted. Accordingly, I practice the only safe method of birth control, that of premarital refrainment from sexual pleasure which can produce unwanted pregnancies. And I DO remind my male friends that they may pay if they play. I don’t condemn anyone just for having premarital sex, but I do condemn those who don’t accept the responsibilities that go with it. I will agree that a male is SO percent responsible for an unwanted pregnancy (although most girls’ fathers give you a much higher percentage). However, it is the female’s responsibility last, for she will suffer most. No, it isn’t fair, but I can’t alter the human anatomy. Federally funded childbirths may cost us more than similarly funded abortions (although “ten times more” is slightly overdoing it). But I’ll pay the excess, as it’s for a much more constructive cause. Actually, it’s all irrelevant, because financial statements do not decide who lives and who gets murdered. I question the title, “Right to Abortion,” given to a letter responding to me. No one has the right to abortion for the simple reason that our law gives no one the right to murder. Anyone who denies the humanness of unborn children obviously hasn’t seen photos of them. These photos clearly show the definite human form of fetuses only three weeks old. Admittedly, they aren’t fully developed human beings, but neither are the handicapped, the blind, etc., and our system written laws. Walter Simpson’s pro-abortion piece appears to have been only a front for the centuries-old practice of denouncing the Catholic Church’s policies. Mr. Simpson’s friends, who have dug their own holes, typify his irresponsibility and immaturity. Perhaps many fetuses will inevitably be better off dead, but that’s their decision to make and their’s only. Taking that choice away hardly constitutes an act of love. Besides, who are any of these to make their decision for them????? This world is indeed cruel at times. But killing people to spare them from it is an irresponsible action. It seems more responsible to love those people. And it’s the people like Mr. Simpson, who will kill before they do everything they can to better this world, that are the main causes of the troubles which need to be corrected. Perhaps Mr. Simpson is jealous of unborn peoples’ potential to love and to help this world where he has failed to. There are alternatives to abortion. The best is adoption, which would satisfy those who want for children and relieve those who can’t give them satisfactory upbringing. Another responsible action would be the channeling of time and money into pregnancy counseling centers and child abuse centers instead of abortion clinics. Mr. Simpson’s “respect for life” would be better termed “respect for quality of life.” Our local representatives have “respect for the right of life,” and our country’s law claims to believe the latter to be more important. Perhaps when Mr. Simpson changes his attitude from “kill, kill” to “work to improve,” I will accept his opinion as a responsible one. When he has done all that he can to improve the world and eliminate the need for the abortion decision, I will listen to him. Life is more important than a jar of salad dressing, but you must have the proper attitude to see why this holds in EVERY case, Mr. Simpson. People’s lives are only as important as you help make them. Henry Senefelder III — - - - - forms. Mo she Benya min George Nassour Saber Mansoor Do some To the Editor. Sea sea. See a see. Sea a see.

He learns. He learns about race relations. He learns about loneliness. He learns that knowledge derived from books is glaringly unlike first-hand information gathered from the streets. Recently, a product of archetypal suburban upbringing had the opportunity to spend a Friday night patrolling the Buffalo city streets in a police car. Not just any metropolitan avenues, the streets were arteries from which the blood had seemingly been drained. The police precinct building bombards one’s senses. The mildew green walls and dimly lit flourescence coupled with street lights peeking through the almost fully drawn shades combine to paint a picture of dreariness. The sterile smell and dank atmosphere make it difficult to remember that the building does not house a funeral home. small fingers, and a chin that seemed to jut inward from the rest of his face. Listening to E. talk as he explained the management of the precinct, one could easily notice his extreme articulation in dull-witted, to comparison partner’s his slang-infested tongue. The only thing they seemed to have in common at this time was their navy-blue, badge-fastened, gun-holstered uniform. This is the city “2-North respond to a rescue at 435 Ellicott,” announced the deep, almost computerized voice over the radio. Upon arrival it became apparent that someone was requiring medical assistance from within the passenger side of a car. Coupled with the four people close to the victim were inquisitive onlookers who watched as the ambulance crew extracted the elderly woman from the car, lowered her onto a stretcher, and wheeled her onto the deeply gouged pavement into the ambulance. “Who is going to ride in the ambulance car with her?” shouted the ambulance driver as he hoisted the stretcher and unconscious woman aboard the vehidle. No one answered. The four people who seemed to be concerned about her were in reality, not.

The last thirty years or so, it is common to hear of new countries forming as the antiquated colonial system collapses. This is true especially in Asia and Africa where large sectors of continents have been divided into a multitude of states. The rush for nationhood has caused interests of minorities within these states to often be neglected. The majority. is only interested in the inherent feature that makes the nation a cohesive unit, be if political, religious or economic in character. The plight of Palestinian and other Arab groups have been well documented by the news media. But what about the one and one half million Sephardi (Spanish Custom) and Oriental Jews who left their countries in North Africa and Asia when these other republics were formed? It should be noted here that even though the quality of life in these places were not so good for of ethnic everyone regardless background, the Jews ift particular usually bad their business, pharmacy or law practice handed over in tact to an Arabic counterpart and were forced to flee with relatively few possesions. In Iraq and Syria many were hung publically for conspiracy and “Zionist” sentiments. Between 1948 and 1953 was the time most of them took flight. Since they no longer enjoyed the rights and prosperity the respective governments had once given them, the Jewish people from Arab lands had no choice but to migrate to Israel where today they and their decendents constitute the majority of the Jewish population. No attempt has been made by the governments for retribution to its previous citizens so dishonored. Today, there are ghettos in Damascus and Iraq were the few Jewish inhabitants are forced to live. They can not leave and have few priveleges afforded them. Since ancient times Jews have lived and worked in lands that are today Iran and the Arabic countries. These people have an unbroken chain of occupation since this early era. Aside from being a Hebrew scribe and Prophet in the Torah (Hebrew Bible) respectively Ezra and Nehemiah also held high posts in the Ancient Persian regime. This accounts for the active role they played in politics to reinstate the Jews to Israel by Persia after its conquest from Babylon in 539 B.C. Torah Scribes at the Tomb of Ezekiel near ancient Babylon in Iraq before 1953 Page ten The Spectrum. Wednesday, 9 November 1977 . It’s no surprise that building security is very much a concern for Squire Hall's Acting Director Robert Henderson. Recently, Henderson outlined some of the areas where he has been working closely with the University Police force and others to keep Squire Hall secure. One method of increasing safety and efficiency in the building was the acquisition of walkie-talkies by Squire Hall’s night managers. ‘This is, however, in no way making members of the student staff campus police officers,” said Henderson. Noting that some people have misinterpreted the role of night managers, Henderson cautions that ‘‘night managers and University Police have separate responsibilities. Walkie-talkies were instituted only as a means of communication; night managers can now be called in an area where the PA is not easily heard.” Another aspect of security is the question of illegal keys. The Squire Hall staff is making a renewed effort to cut off the production of illegal keys. By working closely with the University lock and key crew and the Lock and Key Association of Western New York, some positive results have been obtained. Nevertheless, many locksmiths in the area maintain the attitude that if they don’t make the keys, others will. Irresponsible students officers of student Further difficultues arise when organizations pass keys on from year to year. Those officers who have legal channels for access are oftimes coerced into allowing access to others. “Students are reluctant to stop their buddies; peer pressure seems to be too strong to fight,” Henderson said. “Students need to be hard-nosed about letting others in rooms based on their own legality.” Night managers and maintenance are usually the ones accused of thefts, but the same students who complain may be the ones who allow illegal entry. “Students demand freedom of access, but,” states Henderson, “they have a remarkable reluctance to take on responsibility themselves.” Unlike other student unions across the country, sections of Squire Hall cannot be closed off. Therefore, whenever anyone is in the building, all areas are open to vandalism and theft. The Squire Hall staff is constantly discussing breaches of security and it would be prudent for all to be alert to strangers in the Union. The best security measure would be a basic willingness on the part of students to look out for the interests of other students. Until that happens, Henderson warns, “We’ve never hid from anyone that if you’re in the building with something of value, you better be responsible for it.” -William Finkelstein The Spain”. Sephardi means “of term For centuries up until their expulsion from Spain in 1492 and Portugal in 1497 (“No one expects the Inquisition”) Spanish these Jews contributed greatly to the Golden age of Spain. Many were diplomats, merchants and poets. Still others like Samuel Abulafia who was finance minister to Pedro the Cruel in 1360 were advisors to the King and Queen (keep working Management majors!). After leaving Spain and Portugal many went to North Africa. Others were rescued by the Turkish fleet and were taken to all parts of the Ottoman empire.

While living there the Jews retained the dialect of Spanish that was spoken when they left Spain plus the religious practices. The language is spiced with either Hebrew, Arabic, Turkish, Greek, Italian or Romanian words depending on the country of settlement. The language called Ladino is the Sephardic counterpart of the Ashkenazic Yiddish spoken by the Jews of greater Europe. Even today the language differs little from the dialect spoken while still in the Iberian peninsula. The term Oriental Jew applies to several Asian groups who for a time were isolated from the mainstream of the population. These include the Mountain Jews of Georgia U.S.S.R., Jews of Bokhara and Uzbekistan in Central Asia, Afghanistan and the Bene Yisreal communities of India. Some trace their ancestry to the lost tribes of Israel and later populations were supplemented by groups from Judea and later by Sephardi merchants discussed previously. All follow Jewish religious practices such as Kashrut (Dietary laws) Shabbat (Day of rest) and the Festivals. They all pray in Hebrew.

Although the wolves in Alaska are not considered an endangered species, Lockwood feels a solution better than mass killing can be found. Better management of the number of hunting licenses would certainly be an improvement. Translocation, for example, the moving of wild animals to a less populated area where the wolves would not be a threat, is another alternative; though not as viable, since for the most part “the places that can support wolves have them,” says Lockwood. Thelma Rodney from the Ontario Wolf League spoke on the importance of educating the public about wolves, with an emphasis on children, A program for Toronto area school children was put into effect and helped clear up many misconceptions about wolves, she said.

Of special importance to Whitman is the Lacey Act prohibiting the importation of illegally exported animals. This means for a zoo to acquire an animal from another country, the director must be certain the animal was exported legally. Twelve directors have already been indicted on charges of violating this act. Throughout the conference, it was taken for granted that conservation and protection of animals is essential for peaceful co-existence and harmony with nature. It is just a matter of how and what to conserve and protect. C.A. Privitera of the Department of Biological Sciences at this University challenged this idea. “Is this a justifiable crusade?” he asked. “What price co-existence? Which organism has which right?” Is a wolf more worthy to live because its pups are cute and cuddly than a mosquito or worm? Although stating that the blatant abuse of any animal is an outrage, Privitera felt people tend to “anthropomorphicize” to much. In his words, “the cat and dog run the world.” We see many “human” traits in them and let them do what they want, mainly because they won’t do what we want. Privitera was not offering any answers, but raising valid questions about our ends and our means.

Bringing back the IRC radio station by Daniel Hannafln Spectrum Staff Writer Whatever happened to IRC’s radio station? Anyone tuning their radio to 640 AM might ask this question. WIRC has not been broadcasting since it shut down last May for the summer. Kevin Palmer, the station’s new chief engineer, is trying to get the run-down equipment operable, on a temporary basis, by next semester. The station has had no engineer for a few years, and the equipment has suffered because of this, according to Mike Kuprijanow, general manager of the station. Kuprijanow is in the process of seeking a grant from a private foundation. With the $15,000 that he hopes to receive, Kuprijanow wants to make WIRC something which he feels it has never been before, “a real radio station.” He says the equipment the station owns now is the absolute minimum amount needed to run such an operation. Palmer claims that his high school radio station was “much.better equipped than WIRC.” Governors plugged in If the station receives the grant, a permanent studio will be built in the old IRCB offices in Goodyear Hall More equipment, of a higher quality, will be purchased. Palmer says that much of the equipment presently owned is not of a commercial caliber, but was intended for private consuiisers. Whether or not it receives the grant, Kuprijanow says, the station will be operating next semester. Its $1000 IRC budget for this year will be used to set up the temporary studio, and purchase a phone line to Governors Residence Halls and The Student Club in the Ellicott Complex. A phone line is a cable system which will allow students in Governors to receive the station on radios plugged into electrical outlets. Last year the station broadcasted only to Clement and Goodyear Halls. WIRC does not broadcast' through the air, says Kuprijanow, because running the signal through the electrical system is cheaper. Stranded airwaves Because of this carrier current system which is used, only dorm students can listen to the station. Kuprijanow feels that this is a disadvant ge, but that he can use this situation to serve the students better than any other station could. He says that WBFO, which broadcasts from Squire Hall, “doesn’t pretend to be a student radio station.” Kuprijanow says the station will broadcast information important to students, such as activities on campus and class cancellations. Steve Chick, the station manager, wants to play the music that students want to hear. The station will be sending out questionnaires on the subject of programming format in the near future. WIRC is planning a promotion program for early next semester, giving away free albums and bumper stickers to make people aware of the station’s rebirth. Anyone interested in working on the station is urged to call Mike Kuprijanow at 831-2398. 1 ———— IMPORTANT S.A. Academic Task Force Meeting TODAY at 4 pm - 337 Squire All members MUST attend Page twelve The Spectrum Wednesday, 9 November 1977 . . a ‘Transition *77* not a hit by Karen Major Spectrum Staff Writer ‘Transition 77” was held last Thursday at the Eliicott Complex to help students cope with college life. Judging by the attendance, students don’t feel they need any help in this endeavor. Although four workshops were organized, only two were held, due to lack of participation. “It’s a shame to put all this work into the program and only have show,” thitteen people commented Joseph Krakowiak, Director of Orientation. “We spent around five hundred dollars promoting the program.” “Struggling with Stress,” one of the workshops held explained the importance of dealing with stress. “People take in stress and keep it locked inside. What they have to learn is to let that stress out,” stated Steve Schanly, a graduate student in Psychology. The consequences of not dealing with stress can be serious. The most common result is an ulcer. “I went to a doctor when 1 was sixteen and he told me if I kept worrying the way 1 was, I would have an ulcer by the time I was eighteen,” a participant said. There are many ways to cope with stress. “Each of us has our own ways to cope. It could be by reaching out to someone, by or smoking by drinking,” explained Krakowiak. “Coping is so individualized.” Flex and relax Phsyical activities can be used to relieve stress. One person said that he would go to the Bowling Alley to relieve his tensions. “Hitting those pins as hard as 1 could helped me,” he stated. “Coming into a new situation can produce tremendous stress,” said Schanly. “People have to readjust their lives when they come to the University. Some may face the loneliness of leaving their families. They find they have to grow closer to friends instead of the family.” and Keeping up grades competing with others to be accepted into a Department is a major source of anxiety for students at a large competitive University, such as this one. There are agencies on campus to turn to. Sunshine House for help Clinic, The Psychological located al Ridge Lea, offers group and individual counseling regularly. The Clinic is operated students of by graduate Psychology. ‘‘There is a charge for services. This is to allow us to bring in speakers,” explained Schanly. “The fee is operated on a sliding scale and runs from nothing to three dollars. It’s based on the individual person’s income.” The workshop demonstrated an exercise that may help relieve stress. It consisted of tensing the muscles of certain parts of the body (such as the arm) and holding the tension for five to ten seconds. “While tense, think of a happy thought. When you release the tension, focus on the warm, relaxed feeling that spreads over muscles,” Schanly said. the “Repeat this on all the muscles of the body.” “It may take some practice to do this exercise well. But unlike Yoga or meditating, there is no theory you have to believe in to do it.” said Krakowiak. ‘That’s the good thing about it .” Sunshine House is a part of the University community whose purpose is helping people deal with problems in everyday life, as well as emergency situations. Some of the areas we deal with include: problems with family and personal relationships; emotional difficulties; rape counseling; problems related to drug use; and information about specific drugs. We also have an extensive referral file listing hundreds of agencies in the Buffalo area for those seeking additional assistance. So if you need to speak to an understanding person, need help in an emergency, or if you are just lonely, give us a call at 831-4046, or drop by Sunshine House at 106 Winspear Ave. WE ARE HERE FOR YOU! �SPORTS Volleyball Strong soccer league in intramural playoffs The soccer intramural program is about to complete its second year. Last fall, the league started with ten teams but ended up the season with only eight. This year, the league has expanded to sixteen teams and remains strong with the playoffs coming up. According to Scott Stevens, co-director of Intramural Soccer, almost 300 men and two women are playing intramural soccer this year. When asked about the sudden demand for a soccer league on campus, Stevens replied, “I guess it has a lot to do with the big upsurgence of soccer throughout the country. People are finding out that the best way to leam about the sport is to play it and college is especially conducive to organizing teams and leagues.” Stevens also said that he was given a lot of help and support in setting up the league from Assistant Director of Intramural Sports and Recreational Services Steve Allen. “He was able to get us almost everything we needed,” said Stevens. “He made the job real easy,” added Bob Rose, the other director of the league. “We had a conflict with the Rugby Club about the field we were playing on. Steve solved the problem almost immediately.” Rose and Stevens both agreed that for next year it would be helpful if the University set up another field at Amherst so that the Rugby Club and soccer league, both established now, would not compete for the same field. The soccer playoffs are starting this week but as of now only two of the four playoff teams have been determined. In the 3:30 league, the Condors clinched first place with a 5-0 record. The team, which averaged over five goals a game, is led by captain Clem Henry and leading scorer Martines Pereira. The second place spot is still up for grabs between the Kenmore Kickers (3-0-1), last year’s champions, and The Arab League (3-1). These teams will play each other in their last regular season game. In the 4:30 league, the Fargonauts, last year’s runners up, also had an undefeated season (5-0). The Fargonauts pride themselves on their defense as they allowed only two goals in the five games. Goalie Tim Finein and fullback Frank Massaro lead the defensive corps. The second place battle in the 4:30 league is between Hellas (3-1) and the Space Cadets (3-1). These two teams will also meet before the playoffs. ' Bullsfinish second in district by Joy Clark Sports Editor The volleyball Bulls secured a berth in the State Championships when they finished second in the District Tournament at Clark Hall Saturday. In the final round of that tournament, Buffalo was demolished by the Blue Devils of Fredonia, 15-7, 15-2. That loss will give Buffalo a lower seeding than Fredonia and thus weaken their chances at the State Tournament this weekend at Siena College. After the first round of play, Buffalo was on the top of its pool and Fredonia occupied the same spot in the other pool. Buffalo won five of the six games it played in that round, their lone loss coming against Buffalo State. The Blue Devils won all six of their games. In the quarterfinals of the tournament, Buffalo defeated a weak D’Youville team without much trouble, 15-7, 15-2. The D’Youville squad had most of their problems with serve reception, which allowed Buffalo to score six aces in the first game alone. D’Youville was completely overwhelmed in the second game when freshman Mary Ellen Weber began that game with four unreturnable serves. Buffalo went on to score seven points before D’Youville could tally. Big gime In the semifinals against Alfred, UB again overwhelmed its opponent early in the game. With junior Sue Trabert serving, the Bulls scored nine quick points to give them an eight point lead, 9-1. Buffalo was helped by Alfred’s many mistakes, including two illegal hits. But the Bulls didn’t need much help with strong serving and spiking. In the second game against Alfred, it was freshman Barb Starbuck who was serving when the Bulls built up an early lead. With the score knotted at 2-2, Starbuck served up six points, again helped out by the Saxons' mistakes. The Bulls showed some excellent blocking in that game, especially by Wanda Mesmer and Hilary Schlesinger. "We beat them. we came up for that [the big] one,” commented coach Peter Weinrcich, about that win. which clinched a spot in the State Tournament for Buffalo. Buffalo looked especially strong in both those games. They took advantage of Alfred’s misques and while at the same time making very few of their own. Buffalo’s blocking (which had been their weak point earlier in the season) was especially good. In the finals, however, it was Buffalo’s turn to look bad: The Blue Devils had eleven points on tlic board after only four players had served, while the Bulls had only one, on an unretumed serve of Trabert’s. UB's turn Throughout that eleven point onslaught, Buffalo would look as if it had scored with a powerful spike or a well-timed block, but then the Blue Devils would match those plays with equally brilliant saves. Late in the game, Buffalo rallied to score five points, but as Fredonia needed only two more to win at that point, the effort was both too little and too late. Coach Peter Weinreich explained his team’s problems as “mental difficulties,” that began about half way through that first game. “They [Fredonia] had some good serving and very enthusiastic team and we let it get to us,” he said. The second game was even more embarrassing for the Bulls, as the Blue Devils scored nine posits with their first server and didn’t even need to go through a full rotation to defeat Buffalo 15-2. In spite of the loss in the finals, Weinreich was pleased with the way his team played, especially considering that they played 12 games in one day. Last year, Buffalo won the consolation round in the State Tournament but this year, Weinreich hopes to make it to the winner’s bracket. Rugby Club loses Recruiting underway The game of varsity fencing to Oswego team by Thomas Rosamilia Spectrum Staff Writer The fencing Bulls are presently recruiting new members for this year’s team and plans on having a spirited and competitive squad. The team, which was demoted last year to club status, is returning to varsity level. Plans for a women’s team are still in the works. Fencing has often been called the active man’s game of chess because it involves a great degree of calculation and strategy. Yet anyone can compete successfully because speed, timing, and coordination are the only essential skills, while sheer brute force is of little or no use. For this reason, competition between men and women fencers is common. There are three weapons in fencing: the sabre, foil and epee. The foil is a light weapon with a flexibile, tapered blade.

West Valley While the hard path is dangerous and costly, the reminds us that no one knows what to do with the soft path offers many economic, social and political including the elimination of nuclear toxic wastes that reactors create. Though we can’t advantages imagine it, some of these wastes will remain lethal proliferation. What has this to do with the EUicott Complex? Simply this: buildings designed like for tens of thousands of years. which ate wasteful of energy and depend No machine is perfect, nor are its operators and EUicott represent a managers. The reactors can malfunction and spew almost entirely on electricity dangerous radiation into the environment. Even in a commitment to the energy path that Lovins rightly turn our country into one giant strip mine. — - - police state, the reactors would be vulnerable to terrorists and saboteurs. Moreover, the “atoms for peace” program was a cruel hoax. No sharp line can be drawn between the peaceful use of the atom and its use for mass destruction. It takes only a few pounds of plutonium to make an atomic bomb. PhD candidates in physics have the know-how. A hardware store and a university lab have most of the necessary equipment. Where nuclear power spreads, so does the capability for making nuclear weapons. Reliance on nuclear power will result in a world where scores of as well as criminals and terrorists countries possess the means of destroying us. In a brilliant article, entitled “Energy Strategy: the Road Not Taken?” (Foreign Affairs, October 1976), Amory Lovins outlines two energy paths that our country could follow over the next SO years. One is what he calls the “hard path,” which resembles current federal policy. The hard path gives lip service to energy conservation and calls for a rapid expansion of centralized high technologies (like nuclear power) to increase energy production, especially the production of electricity. Lovins describes the hard path as “brittle.” He says that “it must fail, with widespread and serious dismption, if any of its exacting technical and social conditions are not satisfied continuously and indefinitely.” Lovins contrasts this with the “soft path” which he describes as “flexible, resilient, sustainable, and benign.” The soft path combines a serious and thorough-going commitment to efficient energy use with a rapid development of renewable energy sources (such as solar, wind, biomass conversion) that are matched in scale and energy quality with the needs they are to satisfy. Rather than large, centralized high technologies, Lovins agrees with economist E.F. Schumacher that “small is beautiful.” As far as fossil fuels are concerned. — - —continued from . women practicing with it. In order to form a women’s team, six or seven more women will be needed. A schedule of meets has already been drawn up for the women’s team. Fencing coach Jules Goldstein, who receives no salary but volunteers his time from his love fro the sport, said that both Women’s Athletic Director Betty Dimmick and Men’s Athletic Director Ed Muto decided “to put the cart before the horse” in scheduling meetings between a projected women’s team and other women’s teams. deplores. It’s sad to think that EUicott could have been a showplace for soft technologies; it could have contributed to the movement for an alternative energy future. Solar coUectors, providing hot water for heat, could have been integrated into the design. WindmiUs could have provided some of the electricity for Ughting. The structure’s shape could have been more subdued to conserve heat. Windows could have been double or triple thickness with Biology enrollment, that shutters that keep the heat in at night. Even the hot generated 37,192 square feet and water from the showers could have been recycled to CMB generated 17,001.1. heat rooms (instead of just disappearing down the According to these figures and the drains). dollar allocations psf, total dollars Don’t mistake this for more sour grapes about generated by both divisions equal EUicott. This is, as I claimed before, simply an object Of this total and lesson in energy mismanagement. Mistakes have been according to the formula, Biology generated $846,430.54 and CMB made, but we can learn from them. How about this? From now on require that all generated $391,901.17. Based on Bahl’s formula the buildings constructed for the SUNY system be $1,238,332.99 available as funds designed to maximize energy conservation and the minus $180,000 his left to use of soft technologies produce energy. If $1,058,332.99 to be divided Governor Jerry Brown can call for an alternative equally between CMB and energy future for California, why can’t we call for Biology, leaving each division with the same thing here in New York State? $529,166.49.

Wide ranging As for Biology’s relative weakness, Jeffrey felt that the division is suffering from a budget cut resulting in “a loss of faculty members, generally less budgetary support and a cut in TA lines.” He further stated that Biology will go through a “stage of rebuilding” resulting from an “external review” carried out by six nationally known biologists.

The significance of our preoccupation with the changing student is that it is symptomatic of “a culture-wide suspicion that we are being prevented from knowing what has happened to us and our experience is being ripped off.” Modern culture is 'the culture of experience, he said. Our job, and the job of the Humanities, in DeMott’s opinion, is to restore imagination and imagined to primacy, experience for “without imagination, there is no experience worth having.” DeMott, a widely published writer and critic, is currently a professor of English at Amherst College and a columnist for the Atlantic magazine. His appearance was the University’s prestigious James Fenton Lecture, this year made part of the dedicationof the new Samuel L. Clemens Hall, the . What . What does an intellectual mean when he speaks of the imagination? This bothered me as I was listening to Benjamin DeMott, for I felt he never adequately explained. He did say, in answer to a question, that he did not mean the imagination of a child, but imagination which requires the exercise of the intellect. But by this does he mean imagination based on experience, or that independent of experience, if such a thing can exist? Is it important because of what is being imagined, or because there is value in the act of imagination itself? 1 cannot settle these questions now, and so only offer this quote from R.G. Collingwood’s essay, “The Historical Imagination”; “The resemblance between the hisotiran and the novelist .. . here reaches its culmination. Each of them makes it his business to construct a picture which is partly a narrative of events, partly a description of situations, exhibition of motives, analysis of characters. Each aims at making his picture a coherent whole, where every character and every situation is so bound up with the rest that this character in this situation cannot but act in this way, and we cannot imagine him as acting otherwise. The novel and the history must both of them make sense; nothing is admissible in either except what is necessary, and judge of this necessity is in both cases the imagination.’' -Richard Korman — DeMott told a story about his young friend, David, whose wife perished in an automobile crash. She was twenty-four years old. DeMott movingly described how James Fenton lecturer Beniamin DeMott addressed the Moot Court audience in dedication ceremonies for Samuel P. Clemens Hall. home of the Humanities on the Amherst Campus. The talk was arranged by the Office of Cultural Affairs in consultation with the Fenton Lecture Committee. Generality and specific Wearing a brown suit and gold-rimmed glasses, DeMott proved himself an animated, demonstrative speaker. He raised and lowered his voice (which had a hint of New England inflection), twice banged his hands near the microphone, and parodied expressions and attitudes from everyday life. David reconstructed his wife’s death' in the smallest detail; how he studied diagrams of the accident provided by police; how he pored over the mangled remains of the automobile, to see how exactly the metal was crushed and the glass shattered; how he drove his wife’s fatal route at 90 miles an hour time and time again, veering in and out of the oncoming traffic, so as -to approximate the moments just before her death as nearly as possible; how he held her bloddy driver’s license in his hand. Insane as David’s obsession with these details may seem, DeMott found it an understandable part of his friend’s coming to terms with his wife’s passing. David wanted to turn in his life for his wife’s and would have if he could. David could not experience grief at his wife’s death until he understood his own grief: he thought of the time which had passed since she died, of all the sounds unheard, feelings unfelt. Six weeks is enough imagination? experiences not experienced. For week, he did not disturb the pillows on her empty side of the a bed. For a year, he could not throw out her purse or its contents. It took one year until David could possess his wife’s experience “fully enought to let it go” and in this DeMott saw — “the sense of real change.” Hello decline Such a sense of real change is not found, for example, in the work of a committee on the declining SAT scores, which found the drop in the scores theresult of a drop in students’ self esteem, and blamed the drop in self-esteem on Television, the Break-up of the Family, the Vietnam War, and Watergate. “How could they not (find that these are the causes)?” DeMott asked. In a rush to understand the changing student, DeMott continued. Commissioner of Education Ernest Boyer appoints, —continued on Faculty upholds R decision Statewide health fee by Joel Mayersohn Spectrum Staff Writer Faculty Senate Executive Committee overwhelmingly rejected a motion Wednesday that The would guarantee students are informed of their academic standing in each class before the last day to drop courses. The proposal was made by Student Association Director of Academic Affairs Bob Sinkewicz. Sinkewicz proposed this measure to the Committee following a meeting with Faculty Senate According Jonathan Reichart. to “Reichart suggested that the Senate might not be responsive to a change in the “R” date, but it might be receptive to the idea of establishing a Chairman Sinkewicz, University-wide policy.” Sinkewicz likened speaking before the Executive Committee to “talking to a brick wall.” He claimed he tried to explain to the Committee that “students were not abusing the R privilege.” He added, “the majority of complaints I have received were not from students who hadn’t done the work, but from course and interpretations students whose expectations were different from the instructor.” Balancing things? Reichart said, “There are few faculty members that give that many shocking exams. It’s a question of balancing things. The faculty feels that many students are shopping for classes and by moving up the “R” date, we will open up important spaces for students that have been closed out of classes.” Professor of Psychology, Jack Meachan, a member of the Committee, said, “The decision to change the date was not random. This will prevent students from getting hurt by taking on more work than they can handle. When a student drops a course late in the semester, it is just extra work for the faculty.” The belief among the Senate is that this policy is lenient one. Reichart said, “Many universities throughout the nation have withdrawal dates of two to three weeks.” Meacham believed that “six weeks is ample time for students to assess if their level of preparedness is high enough, and students should not need to get an idea of where they stand.” a Fairness urged The Spectrum found, however, in a survey of local colleges (Niagara University, Canisius College, at Buffalo) that time allotted for and withdrawal at those schools exceeded the amount allowed here by at least two weeks. Department of Mathematics Professor Nicholas Kazarinoff, also a Committee member, commented, “I hope that professors are fair.” Kazarinoff urged faculty members to give exams before the “R” date. He also noticed “an insufficient involvement of the faculty with academic counseling.” The major complaint of the faculty is that students are abusing the “R” privilege. Dean of Undergraduate Education Walter Kunz said, “Considering the level of intelligence at this University, most students should be able to pass almost any course. Students are concerned npt with ) fading, but about getting an A.” According to Reichart, “students must to adapt; the easy way out is to get an “R.” Tfie “R” system is a flexible system of escape and if the students find out too late about a problem, that’s just too bad. Life is not fair.” Kunz claimed students will adjust. He said, “Once students learn to assess their standing, the policy in the long run will be better for both students and faculty.” Sinkewicz viewed the issue as “another example of students getting screwed. The students have no recourse and the Faculty Senate feels that’s too bad.” page 5 — boycott planned by SA by Bradley Bermudez Spectrum Staff Writer A statewide boycott of the controversial SUNY health fee is being organized by the Student Association of the State Universities (SASU). The additional $17 health fee was instituted by the SUNY Board of Trustees this year. The Spectrum disclosed September 16 that revenue from the fee will not go to health services at all, but to the general SUNY fund to. offset a $2.3 million cutback in SUNY funding. A fiscal committee staff of SUNY officials conducted a study last Spring of colleges throughout the nation and determined that most had a separate health fee added to tuition. The Board, therefore, decided to add such a fee to the tuition charges at all State schools. The Board established three rates, based on the cost per student for health services at each campus. The yearly rate at this University is $17. University officials state that the money will be used for improvement of health facilities. Services cutback Members of the Geneseo Student Association have gathered information showing that health service budgets and personnel have been cut back by ten percent in the last two years. “Thirty-five full-time physicians have been dismissed from various State schools during this two-year period,” according to Geneseo SASU Delegate Robert Andrews. SASU officials are also fighting the health fee on grounds that it goes against SUNY policy. According to the Board of Trustees Uniform Fee and Tuition Act of 1963, all University costs are to be included in tuition fees. The Act specifically states that there will be no health fee, according to Clifford. In response to the newly initiated fee, SASU members attended an open meeting of the Board of Trustees of SUNY in New York City on October 26. SASU delegates presented petitions containing 7,000 signatures “to stir the Board to action,” said Andrews. The Board requested that the State Legislature appropriate funds to cover the health fee. -continued on page 2 �Judge hears claim Judge Norman Stiller reserved decision Friday on the claim of Cavages Record Store owner, Carl Cavage, that the Record Coop is liable for $100,000 in additional property damages to his store. Cavage has claimed that the day after the Record Coop was re-opened in the basement of Squire Hall in 1975, students cut phone lines to his store across the street in University Plaza, smashed the storefront window, and harrassed employees and customers by picketing. Stib-Board lawyer for the Co-Op, Richard Lippes, expects a decision on the claim within two to four weeks. Lippes claims that even if students did damage the University Plaza store, they were not acting on behalf of the Co-Op. “The organization didn’t ratify the action,” he said. “Cavage is trying to amend his amendment by saying ‘students were acting as agents of the Co-Op.’ According to Lippes, Judge Stiller said that the Cavage theory was “unique.” He continued that Cavage will try to prove that the people who caused the damages were students. “They have pictures of people picketing,” he said. “But pictures are pure speculation.

Fee boycott .rr™ The ultimate goal now, according to Clifford, is to have the fee repealed before second semester tuition bills are mailed. Clifford said that he has encountered resistance from University officials. Assistant Vice President of Finance and Management Len Snyder stated “If the fee is not paid, the University will refuse to process transcripts for the students. University policy states that students who have any charge on their accounts will not be issued a transcript.” If it comes to that point, Clifford said, “We’re going to call their bluff. We want to prove that the students are a force to be reckoned with. We must fight for what we believe in. This is the beginning of student unionization. Through this boycott, the students and SA can gain solidarity.” There will be no rallying, according to Clifford. Forums will be held, information will be distributed, and posters will be displayed throughout rile campus, explaining the pros and cons of the boycott. Clifford is quick to add that last week’s petition drive demanding a reaeal of that health fee at this University did not fail “600 to 700 signatures were obtained in a very short time with little preparation,” according to Clifford. Other SUNY schools are joining in the fight against the fee. Buffalo State'Student Association officials are calling for students to boycott the-fee by distributing literature dud displaying posters. An SA - member at Bsrifalo stated that it will be difficult togain support there. She said juoat-etudants at Buffalo State receive some type of financial aid. This enables the school to withdraw the money directly from the students’ rhsrti The Buffalo State SA is further hampered by the fact that students must pay tuitionfees before registration. The Jhocfcport SA has distributed pledge cards and posters, and related petitions containing over 1,300 signatures. The Geneseo SA is following suit SASU officials met in Geaeseo over the weekend to discua boycott ognintion and strategy. The boycott, even if unsuccessful, will show that SASU is going to stand with the students, according to Clifford. He said, “It will demonstrate a show of student commitment to what they believe in.” Tuition waivers Foreign Stadent Tuition Waiver Applications for the spring 1978 semester are now available at the Office of Financial Aid, 312 Stockton Khhbal Tower.

In April, 1976, Former SA President Steve Schwartz said, “Hopefully, we will not be able to have a quick trial and a quick decision. Things look good.” Cavage has recently amended his suit to include property and financial damages. Publicity drive If the suit drags on, the Coop will remain in limbo. Because the restrictions are not legally supported, they cou{d be lifted at any time by Ketter. “When the President of the University can’t stand up for his students, he has betrayed them,” Regenbogen commented. Barred from advertising, the Coop has engaged in a publicity drive. They have been handing out leaflets, explaining their problems and asking for the support of the students. The Coop is having a sale today selling all albums without markups. Record Coop representatives will hear the suggestions and criticisms of the students in Squire Hall today, the second anniversary of the reopening of the Coop. Bigger room needed The Coop has been appealing to the administration for support for the past two years, according to former Coop Treasurer Dan Weissberg. “We’ve been writing letters about once a month.” One Coop worker claimed the Coop could do over a million dollars a year in business, “But not in this room.” Spokesmen for the Record Coops at Buffalo State College and SUNY at Albany said they have received no pressure yet from either private dealers or their administrations to shut down. — Buffalo Braves Tickets for Nov. 9th Game Versus New York Knicks *6.50 for *7.50 tickets (Blues) Buses will be available Students Only Squire Ticket Office Memorial Auditorium 7:30 - - Wheelchair-bound students: The Braves have a special plan for you: *3.00 side-line seats.

Page three �Declining membership, financial problems injure Craft Center by Crag LyaU Spectrum Staff Writer “It’s an oasis.” So the Director of Squire Hall, Jim Gruber describes the new Craft Center on the Amherst Campus. An an oasis the Center seems to be, for the mentally exhausted, dried up minds of academians. However, the same description cannot be used when considering the financial situation of the Craft Center. The Center has been experiencing financial problems, operating at a deficit since its inepetion. One of the few such organizations in New York that is not funded directly by the state, the new craft center’s financial plight is exacerbated by a marked decrease in membership which it experienced in moving to Amherst. Having 1,100 members during its final year in Norton, membership last year totalled 400. The situation seems to be improving. Director of the Craft Center Joe Fisher claims, people were rejecting values people had through the ’50s. They were unhappy with processed material things, wanting instead to make their own.” Boomsliter is one of those who desires greater personalization of her work. She prefers to deal with the most elemental materials, those that have not been cranked out of. and processed by, the industrial machine. Boomsliter spoke with pride of fellow craftsmen she met in the Southwest who dug up their own clay, baking it in the earth using sheep dung and cyrpess wood as fuel. The Craft Center’s new size can be appreciated when one considers that it occupies 15,000 squre feet as compared to the 2,600 in its former home. The facility is a significant expansion of the former in other respects. In 1965, the Center had four potter’s wheels to the 20 it now boasts, and four looms to do the weaving of the present 16. Most people generally agree: the new center is beautiftil. “It is one of the largest and best equipped Craft Centers in the country,” relates Gruber, “and everyone realizes it’s a winner.” indicating that projected membership for this year is 600.

To say the least, the contestants vying for the post are anything but conventional politicians. To illustrate how unusual the situation is, Eugene M. Fahey (D-L), a twenty-six-year-old political neophyte is the odds-on favorite to win. This projection is due to the fact that Fahey is being challenged by Marcella M. Wisniewski (C), a widowed mother of eight children, and Dann W. Reece (R), a twenty-one-year-old student at this University. While Reece and Wisniewski can be admired for their personal fortitude, they hardly can be considered formidable political competition. In order to learn more about this political phenomenon, The Spectrum interviewed all three candidates, as the campaign was winding down toward election day. Fahey believes Althbugh Fahey has never run for public office before, he feels that he has the experience to be an effective Councilman. (He was an aide to present University District Councilman William Price.) Fahey stated that the major problem in the district was the “neighborhood deterioration” that has resulted in both “physical and social harm.” The goal of his term as district councilman would be to reverse this deterioration and to strengthen the area neighborhoods so that residents can once again be proud of their community. He mentioned “the many elderly people living on fixed incomes, the shrinking tax base of the city, and the problems of absentee landlords” as the major obstacles to be overcome if Buffalo’s blight is to be improved. “The problems Buffalo had,” Fahey stressed, “arc not unique. The whole Northeast needs help, but until Buffalo starts helping itself, no outside aid will help very much.” Fahey believes that the city presently is at the crossroads in its history. He asserted that “the neighborhoods of the city are in transition; they can either be improved or be allowed to decline. It is now or never for the city, if something is not done now to help Buffalo, it will be too late.” He admitted that a district councilman alone could not “solve the many problems Buffalo has,” but he truly believes “the something” Buffalo needs is his election to the Common Council. Wimiewski Wisniewski believes she would be an excellent councilman because she truly understands “the hopes, concerns, and fears of the people of the district.” Asa twenty-three year resident of the University District, she stated she has “great insight into the community.” She emphasized that “I have faced many of the same problems that presently concern a majority of district residents.” “The way to make Buffalo better is to make Buffalo safer,” Wisniewski asserted, as she called for an increase in both Fire and Police services. She stressed that “It is of utmost importance to increase the manpower in these departments.” She believes that if Buffalo neighborhoods are made safe, “the people and industries that now want to leave the area, could be convinced to stay.” Dann Reece wants to become a “grassroots councilman, who would be in direct and constant contact with the people of the University District.” He believes that he could be the most visible councilman the district ever had. To support this assertion, Reece pointed out that during the campaign, he attempted to speak with almost every resident, during walking tours. He stated that he would not “sit behind some desk in City Hall,” but that he would “actively try to listen to the people of the district .” Reece declared his number one priority would be to make Buffalo an economically attractive city. He predicted that “the exodus of people and industry from the area could be stopped, if taxes were lowered, rather than raised. Buffalo can no longer afford to be strapped with high taxes.” The future All three candidates stressed the fact that they are totally independent from “party politics” which has turned many people against City Hall. Each candidate has achieved success despite the fact ttat they have received little or no support from their respective party organizations. While this might well be an asset during the campaipi, the eventual winner may have a difficult time receiving support from the party machines, because of theh independent stance. Teat opinion* sought Standardized Vnts •> Arthur O. Ewe — Buffalo's Next Mayor? At Squire rally Eve calls Buffalo dead ‘ Democratic candidate for Mayor, Arthur O. Eve, referred to Buffalo as a “dead city” in a rally held in the Squire Hall fountain area last Thursday afternoon. His five-minute appearance to drum up student support in tomorrow’s election was sparsely attended and lacked any new twists to his standard campaign procedure. Eve. extolled the virtues of his “positive approach campaign,” while criticizing his opponents, James D. Griffin and Robert W. Phelan, for instigating fear in the voting public with their mudslinging tactics. Eve’s bid On a more personal level. Eve declared that if his bid for election failed, it was not his loss, but Buffalo’s. He made references to his DeMott. “in the language of the hour, an in-house team,” or a committee to form “global perspectives.” “The words commitment and penetration are given new run.” A call goes out to “beef up the curriculum.” Programs to teach expository writing, which begin in high school and continue into the first year of post-graduate life, are installed. The idea is to “change the changing student early on and keep the pressure on the poor mother.” Whether the present cultural DeMott moment is in decline turns to the side, bows, and says, “Hello Decline” doesn’t matter. Important is our culture’s appetite for experience, our jealousy of it, fears of it being impaired; that we be insulated from it or led to habituation. This is what prompts obsessive analysis of what DeMott called ‘changeless — - change’.” Need for imagination This huge responsiveness to experience is what distinguishes modern man, according to DeMott. It has marked our culture since Shakespeare's time. We are “continually recreating our and. affirming ttu “comfortable position in Albany” and compared his present salary favorably to that which accompanies the Buffalo mayoral position. He then called Buffalo a dead city, but followed by saying that his responsibility as mayor was to revive it. Late for an appointment downtown, Eve gave hurried answers to the few questions that were posed after his prepared statement. In replying to a query concerning gay rights. Eve stated that he favored equal rights for everyone. Eve was also in favor of the investigation being conducted by the District Attorney’s office regarding irregularities in the mayoral primary race. However, he did avoid commenting on the alleged presence of Democratic boss Joseph Crangje’s lieutenants in his campaign. -BobbieDemme —continued from page 1 • — • he said, and this can be found in the works of Emerson and Dewey. This prediction shows itself in many ways: “lovers in a precoital bed share a joint and say, ‘Don’t you feel mellow?’ Surgeons enter divinity school at tlfc age of 52. The stuck majority frets at its breakdown and inaction.” While living life with the feeling that we only have one chance on earth, we leave our themselves as constructor’s of this “We must get beyond culture, not at it,” DeMott insisted, “because ‘it’ is ourselves.” “To see this, we may not have a curriculum, but the beginning of an education.” world. imagination by the wayside. Experience must be imagined to release ourselves from “changeless change” and because we must transcend our culture. DeMott was discouraged at finding people on college campuses going on, going on, never stopping the train of their education, never stopping a reading of a scene between Bolingbroke and Richard II to ask, ‘What’s happening here, what is it like for them?’ No one asks, what is it like in life not to know? “We cry out for experience, for change, when only imagined experience can satisfy, can make us whole,” he declared. We can only make experience begin by imagining an interrupted experience! as David did.

All students must be made aware that the fee is not covered by any available financial aid, including the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP). Therefore, funding that should be guaranteed by the State Legislature but for some political turn is not, is instead being pulled from students' pockets, or from the pockets of their parents. Students and their parents, as residents of this state, pay taxes to fill budgets such as SUNY's. Now they are being taxed twice to fill a funding gap created when some other organization's lobby in Albany was effective enough to draw $2.3 million from SUNY. (This is commonly termed a cutback in funding due to insufficient revenues, but the real story is...) United Nations resolution that would have restricted trade with South Africa. The substance of this resolution if approved would have been the unification of world response to the brutality inflicted by the white minority toward the black majority in South Africa. Considering the noise we have been subjected to lately concerning human rights, one might express skepticism about this action by the United States (life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness). There is, however, the matter of billions of dollars of American (In God We Trust) investments in South Africa, which deal with the exportation of such commodities as chromium, diamonds, and assorted chemicals. The obvious conflict that emerges is the conflict that exists between economic interests and human interests. In the case of South Africa, the Students at this University have a greater opportunity to fight paying the fee in fact, to be an integral part of the than students at Buffalo State College, for boycott example, because there, ail tuition bills must be paid before registration dnd not during the course of the semester. — Mark Ginsberg Promoting prejudice To the Editor I’ve always considered myself to be a relatively open minded and liberal individual. I’ve accepted the minor flaws of The Spectrum as a part of the learning rocess. Nevertheless, it seems to me that you should be especially wary of what outsiders submit for copy. Specifically, I refer to the advertisement placed by the Organization of Arab Students. 1 cannot condemn anyone for their beliefs to do so is to be — The new, so-called "student health fee" is really a tuition increase. For SUNY and legislative officials to label the increase a "health fee" and then admit that the anticipated revenue will not be used to augment health services is only to place the rubber stamp of officialdom on a blatant lie. United States (We, the people) decided in favor of the economic interests involved at the expense of the human interests, which are namely, the well being of the black majority in South Africa. So what does this mean? This is what this decision means to me: 1. We arc the home of exploiters and cowards 2. We accept death, apartheid, and the pursuit of suffering 3. We trust only money 4. We, the people, are those who maintain a financial strangle hold on the rest of the world For those who remain convinced of the validity of my four propositions, they only need to ask any fur bearing animal, cow, chicken, pig, zoo animal, research animal, unwanted dog or cat, wolf, wild horse, or marine mammal, for their opinion on the matter. Assuredly, they will concur with my assessment of the guiding principles of our nation. classified as a fascist. However, to publish an ad that features a soldier harassing a little girl with the idea in mind to prejudice the reader against the sober’s nationality (and, therefore, religion) is to be guilty of the same offense. You are allowing an unfair and unreasonable representation of a people to be presented to the public. The goal, as I understand it, of the Palestinians is to attain a homeland in the Middle East. I cannot disagree with that aim. However, to represent the Israelis as child-beaters is a poor representation of the facts. The Arab nations have initiated surprise attacks on Israel on four occasions within the last 29 years (indeed, one was less than 24 hours after Israel’s creation and one was on Judaism’s holiest holiday). The Arab’s militant wing, the PLO, gloats in pride over their “success” with terrorism (witness Munich 1972, assorted hijackings, etc.). No one is without guilt, but who has committed the more heinous crimes? I can condone their aims, but 1 condemn their tactics. I see no reason to disallow their publishing of advertisement to seek support. It is, however, the better interst of the University to promote the prejudice of a group, any group, with the use of sensationalism. an against Ronald B. Levy — It is hard to see the light at the end of this semester, never mind the beginning of next semester. Nevertheless, a well organized boycott against the fee on the spring tuition bill by 350,000 students on 64 different campuses in the SUNY system might force SUNY and legislative officials to at least reconsider the "health fee" and hopefully to do away with it all together (maybe to replace it with another gimmick, but that remains to be seen). The Student Association (SA) here can vigorously support the proposed boycott by helping to organize the forums planned by SASU delegates here, by distributing information about the origins of the fee and why it must be opposed, by making public statements and by pressuring Ketter administration officials into doing the same. This is not to take the pressure off the SASU delegates who are currently mobilizing for a spring boycott. On the contrary, only if SASU prods SA officials and student newspaper editors across the state for commitment and publicity will enough general student support be drummed up for it to be successful.

Page six The Spectrum Monday, . . 7 November 1977 exilotfi by Jay Rosen The Story of O almost got confiscated by the Buffalo Police Department Salacious Literature Squad. Really. The movie is about this kinky letter O who has alphabetical intercourse with three different letters at once, like R, D and U. But when M and W tried to get into the scene like the O couldn’t dig it, so she like freaked out and they ended up gang raping the O while the R was having equipment problems and began looking like a P. It’s really intense there for a while but the O mellows out and soon all these characters are getting it on, and nine months later a lower case o is born and she like follows in the footsteps of her old lady and everything. So this Lieutenant Puritanski of the Smut Squad hears about this Offensive flick and like gives UUAB a hassle about the entire scene, but UUAB says, like cool your Concords there, Lieutenant, our initials are like getting off with this letter O. And this Puritanski guy just happens to have O as a middle initial so he can like see where UUAB is coming from and everything’s definitely cool and the flick gets flicked in Squire Hall. It was a real turn-on for the cats there and everyone goes home and twists their bodies into various letters. So this one Goldberg dude, who was like heavily into the Judaism scene, tries to twist himself into a Hebrew letter and like gets stuck and they ended up calling 911 to get him out of it. And it’s like Saturday, so a bunch of freaks decided to get into the A mericanaviolencefootball type scene so they checked out the game at Rotary Field. Arid there was these rah-rah parents of the Coast Guard Academy team there cheering their sons onto the Victory trip. So these Capitalist Chain Saw types were rootin’ really loud for their boys while the Bolshevik freaks from UB were like altering their consciousness and gettin’ into relating to the actual leather of the football. So the freaks are rappin’ about what it would be like to be thrown and punted around by these athletic supporter type behemoths while these Imperialist Chevrolet type dudes were digging the scoreboard, which was into the Coast Guard 41, UB 14 trip. So the freaks were like not relating to these Coast Guard rooters at all. I mean they just couldn’t get inside their Apple-Pie heads man. So they started getting on ’em about the Military Industrial Regime, and the whole Ho Chi Minh orbit. Well, the Buzz-Saw from the Academy like brought back the Why-Don’t-You-Cut-Your-Hair rap and the freaks really dug this one, 1 mean this was like the sixties and the collective consciousness route. So the Coast Guard J. Edgar Hoover types definitely started with “I’ll alter your consciousness” rap and were diggin’ the clenched fist scene, while the checking freaks were out the “Whole-World’s-Watching” trip. So like neither side knew that the whole world was really like cruisin’ with the scoreboard scene, which was now really getting into the Coast Guard 91, UB 19 trip, either that or getting it on with the snack bar type orbit, which was clearly into the barbeque potato chip trip. So meanwhile the Campus Security dudes, who were once really into the Joe Mannix consciousness, but got too fat, so they had to start checkin’ out the Night Watchman circuit, well anyways, these two Quick Frozen Cops were like definitely eyeing the Freaks vs. The Crew Cuts up in the stands. So they decided they really ought to check out the confrontation, ’cause these two were really into the Proving-They-Have-A-Function-In-Life trip. So, of course, they entered the walkie-talkie orbit and began diggin’ the headquarters scene, and the Broderick Crawford types at HQ were like really into the Handle-Cold-Three rap cause they were also involved in the Proving-I-Got-A-Function-In-Life trip. Yeah, so these two Mattel-Toy-Type Policemen the definitely decided to check out Wait-For-Reinforcemcnts circuit. Meanwhile the Scoreboard was heavily into the blown fuse trip ’cause the Coast Guard team was seriously checking out the Over-A-Hundred scene, while the UB players were considering the Maybe-It-Doesn ’t-Lead-To-Harder-Drugs rap. Anyways, these Ready to Heat Coppers were all set to march en masse up to the bleachers to check out the Dispersing-a-Riot trip. So hundreds f these Plastic-Coated policemen types started climbing the stands. But the bleachers were definitely not into supporting all this weight, so they decided to check out the collapsing scene, which they definitely did. And, as it turned out, the Freaks, the Cops and the Buzz Saw were all checking out the fractured limb trip at once, while an innocent bystander type really got intc,the 911 rap. �Friends FEEDBACK of CAC movie To the Editor. I am responding to the undue Feedback letter in The Spectrum on November 4, 1977 entitled “CAC Movie Refund." First, the reason for canceling the 10 p.m. showing of Don't Look Now was because the sound was incoherent and many people were leaving as a result of it. Second, anyone that came to the CAC Office for a refund was given the option of obtaining a free pass to another Friends of CAC movie or receiving a monetary refund.

I am very glad to see Harvey Shapiro’s letter in The Spectrum Friday, November 4, because he finally made a false statement. I admit that I know nothing about the journal system in this country. All I want to do is to fight against slander any way I can. In his letter, Mr. Shapiro said that if they are inconvienced. “investigations by MIT and NAFSA showed that a nationwide KMT surveillance network exists.” What a lie! As you may have noticed in Wednesday’s article, all he can “prove” was “that a possibility .” (MIT) and “may operate a . (NAFSA). of Big deal. We can call everything “possible” or “may ...” Only he can make it so positive, and he is a Gary Mon tante Treasurer, CAC ” Justified denial of rights .. To the Editor. I would like to comment on the view of oppression homosexual last in expressed Wednesday’s The Spectrum. All of the arguments in favor of decriminalizing homosexual behavior and banning discrimination against it focus on the rights of the individual. Why can’t I do what I want in my own bedroom, as long as I don’t hurt anyone? Don’t I have the right to select my own form of sexual behavior? Where does society get off imposing its sexual standards on me? Completely absent from consideration is the most important question of all: What is good for the society as a whole? While freedom for homosexuals certainly would be good for them, enabling gays to live more freely and happily, it surely would make life less free and happy for the heterosexual majority. Freedom from homosexuals is what most Americans want. Every culture demands conformity in areas of behavior and belief that are crucial to its survival and perpetuation. For instance, can you imagine a society in which half the population abhorred incest as a monstrous crime, while the other half practiced it ardently; or one in which half the people believed End the arms of KMT spying Possibility in the sanctity of private property, while the others believed in helping themselves to whatever they needed? Such groups would tear themselves apart. One critical area in which every culture limits individual choice is sexual behavior and family structure, for the sexual constitution is the very center of social life. In our culture the accepted norms are heterosexuality, monogamy and the nuclear family. Does anyone doubt that gay liberation directs a dagger at these institutions, which are the heart of Western society? The chaos resulting from such “liberation” immense difficulties in socializing the young into appropriate, comprehensible sex roles; the agonies of sexual identity that would await every adolescent; the distortion and confounding of our entire way of life would benefit a peripheral and insignificant .. “journalist.” Ronney Chih X AM A imiioicIAK) — - segment of the population. It is for the good of society as a whole that its small homosexual minority (nowhere near the 15-20 percent claimed by some homophiles) is denied its “right” to do whatever it wants. T,heir doing their thing would prevent the rest of us from doing what We want; namely, living in a heterosexual society. veme. r m Richard Thill race To the Editor. would be another step. The nuclear superpowers make substantial reductions in nuclear capability. The United States. China and the Soviet Union must “with all deliberate speed” phase out nuclear weapons programs that are must also be willing to The Soviet Union has now agreed to a moratorium on all nuclear explosions whether peaceful or aggressive. Brezhnev’s announcement means that the Soviet Union has taken the initiative. It is now our move. We must now stop paying lip service to arms agreements and start actively pursuing them. If we can now act as positively as the Soviets seem willing to we can possibly end continued proliferation and development of nuclear weapons and technology. It is about time we realize there is no legitimate difference between peaceful and aggressive nuclear capability. A ban on testing is only the first step of a very long walk ahead of us if we wish to mitigate the nuclear threat to mankind and society. Next we must seek an end to all forms of nuclear proliferation and offer incentives not to go nuclear or to give up nuclear technology. We must give potential nuclear powers a reason to remain “uncontaminated.” Nuclear cutbacks and a reversal of the arms destabilizing and unnecessary for deterrence. To put the nuclear “genie” back in the bottle is unlikely; therefore we must seek minimum deterence. The Soviet Union has given us the nudge it is now time for the United States to step down from its nuclear reduction rhetoric and take positive action. We now have a chance to show sincerity and faith in our claims of seeking nuclear agreements. Nuclear technology is out of Pandora’s box forever, but the recent action by the Soviets has given us some hope for the future. It’s your move Carter, time to live up to your promises. A very long and hard path lies ahead of us if we wish to end forever the threat nuclear technology holds for mankind. The time seems right to start that journey. ; 3* profiles Student Association November is shaping up to be international month on campus.

Fears ofsetting precedent S&eetrum Stuff Writer Fraternities at this University are discussing the possibility of being assigned areas in the dorms, as opposed to setting up fraternity houses.

The only other way to remove a tenured employee is to remove their position,” according to Stein. He said, “It is a reality through accidents or disease that people can no longer function in the University situation. To protect the individual and the community, the University has the option to grant disability leave or allow early retirement,” Stein said. ‘To qualify for disability benefits, there must be hearings and medical exams, both of which involve very difficult procedures but both of which havebeen done.” Effective teaching Acting Dean of Undergraduate i Education (DUG) Walter Kunz has the responsibility to review all undergraduate degree programs. He said, “We’ve never included the question of tenure in the review. We might include it in the future, but as of yet, there is no way to deal with that information.” Kunz further explained, “We are not involved in evaluating teaching. The students have a program for the Student Course and Teacher Evaluation (SCATE) and the Faculty Senate was doing this.” He felt, however, that DUE should coordinate the teaching effectiveness programs. Kunz said, “We’re not only interested in evaluation, but also the development of an effective teaching center. Then there would be a mechanism for evaluation. Also those who needed it (professors, student and teachers) could have a recourse.” to In response student alternatives to the problem, Kunz said, “If students encounter poor teachers, they should voice their concerns to the chairman of that department.” Office of Cultural Affairs Student Activities Programs Sub-Board I (Amherst) invite you to by Deniae Stumpo Feature Editor This column is for anyone who likes to eat.

Y.C ” Modern �SPORTS Intramural football heads to playoffs by Marshall Rosenthal Special Features Editor The Intramural Football Program enjoyed another successful season this year, culminating with the playoffs which begin today. Fierce competition is expected on the part of the 18 surviving teams that remain out of the original 64 entrants, who will be vying for the coveted Intramural Championship Trophy. After the long grueling season, nine teams remained undefeated, earning them the right to immediately qualify for the playoffs. Those notables include: The Bionic Men, Holy Cow, The Goods, Helter Skelter, Pigs on the Wing, Bugouts, Y Franny’s Beaver Patsol. Division runners-up qualifyers arc The Bad News Bulls, Chem Stars, GMA’s, Panama Redskins, and the Coneheads. This past weekend, six teams tasted a bit of the playoff fever when they competed int a do-or-die situation where the winners advanced to today’s opening round of the playoffs. The losers will watch from a distance. The six participants included Egan’s Eagles, Super Bowl, Smegma, Fighting 6th, Harold and the Molars, and Tolchok. 'Thanks a lot, Mike All 18 contending squads appear U) be tough, but many observers conclude that there will be a dog-fight between five of the undefeated, untied division winners, all of whom sport phenomenal points scored and points allowed totals. Led by quarterback Doug Schram, The Bionic Men (6-0) head the list of possible winners. Last year’s Intramural Champs, -the Bionics returned for another season virtually unchanged. The acquisation of Mike Dixon could be the most important move the team has made if they intend to claim their second straight championship. Other vital Bionics include Mike Groh, Mike Betz, and Gary Schwartzenholzer The Bionic Men have scored a total ,of 212 points, while giving up 12 this season. Another contending threat is Pigs on the Wing (6-0). The nucleus of this fine intramural squad is comprised of three members of last year’s runners-up, The Clits. Leading the Pigs will be their multi-talented quarterback, Bob Johansen, who possesses an outstanding arm, and whose broken field running is considered to be the finest in the entire intramural league. His favorite target is fleety receiver Jim Dale. Defensively, the Pigs are led by Pual Gould and Joe Mackajanian and, thus far, they’ve scored 156 points and yielded 9. Y, why not? Relying strongly on a superb defense, Y Greundel (6-0) figures to be one of those qualified teams to dethrown the Bionic Men. The big Y possess an awesome looking defensive line sparked by John Darling, Brian Walsh, and Rob Widiker.Offensively, quarterback Kevin Cooney commands the strongest arm in the league. Receivers Kevin Lynch and Phil VeCicca helped account for the Vs total offense of 123 points, while the defense yielded 24. A virtually unknown entity is Governors League Champions, Franny’s Beaver Patrol (6-0). The Patrol has amassed 191 points during the season, while giving up just one touchdown to date. Led by their gifted running and passing quarterback, Mike Abatemarco, the Patrol certainly will be in the thick of things. Receivers Amic Drucker and Vic Nole could be big factors, but the defense of Steve Hackling, Alan Rabinowitz, and Steve (Stud) Saltzman could be the real key to their possible success. Holy Cow The last of the possible strong contenders is Phil Rizzuto’s Law School team. Holy Cow (60-1). The Cows are generally considered to be the darkhorse team (no pun intended), mainly because their starting quarterback Bob Kamm was forced out of action recently with an injury. But in his place, Bob Flemming has done a remarkably good job. Flemming is a former collegiate gridiron standout who competed for Cornell University. He will be relying quite heavily on his receivers, Gary Peters and Richie Epstein and Mike Tallon, for support, while the line play of John Arpey and Ron Hager can only help. The Cows have struck for 122 points and have yielded 18. Today’s opening round of the playoffs will be held at the Ellicott Fields at 3:00 and 4:00 p.m. Tomorrow the scene will shift to Main Street where the quarter-finals will be held. Tentatively, the semi-finals and championship games are slated to b held on Rotary Field. All are welcome to attend the contests involving the Pitgs, Cows, Beavers, Men, and the Y’s, as well as the other competing teams. Bulls beaten by Coast Guard; firstfootball seasonends by Marshall Rosenthal Special Featuret Editor The Coast Guard Academy Cadets, ignited by four second half touchdowns, convincingly trounced the Bulls 41-14 in the season finale giving Buffalo an overall record of 0-3-1 for 1977. Small both in size and numbers, but not in spirit, the Coast Guard squad effectively marched in, around and through the Buffalo defense so often during the final two periods, that only their own mistakes prevented them from scoring further. If the game had ended at halftime, the Bulls might have qualified for the Buffalo upset of the Year Award, but it didn’t. During the initial half, the Bulls played their best football this year, with a crisp offense and a staunch defense. Late in the first quarter, the Bulls took control of the ball at the Coast Guard 42 yard line. Quarterback Paul DiMiero unloaded a beautifully thrown pass which split end Tony Formato turned into a leaping 28 yard gain. Halfback Mark Gabriel maneuvered his way to the nine yard line and then DiMiero was halted at the two yard line as the quarter ended. Seasaw battle Confronted with a fourth and two situation, DiMiero rolled to his left and found Formato in the end zone for the score. Down by seven points, the Cadets wasted no time in scoring. After recovering a Buffalo fumble at the Bulls’ 30 yard line, the Seamen tied the score five plays later with the help of a Buffalo facemasking penalty. Scoring the Cadet TD was co-captain Mickey Butler who, prior to the game, was the nation’s fifth leading collegiate scorer. The Seamen went ahead 14-7 after picking off a DiMiero pass. Quarterback Mark Feldman hit receiver Ed Richards for the go-ahead tally, as Feldman eluded a UB tackier on the scramble. The Feldman-Richards combination continually stung the Bulls, as Richards accounted for three touchdowns with five receptions for 140 yards on the afternoon. With two minutes remaining in the half, the young, inexperienced Bulls did the impossible. With the aid of Coast Guard penalties, they marched 76 yards in two minutes to tie the score at 14 apiece. Unable to advance the ball on the first two plays, the Bulls breathed new life after pass interference call bailed them out. Passes to Gabriel and Formato brought the crowd of 3,200 partisan UB fans to their feet, roaring for the Bulls to march onward. But the Buffalo drive stalled at their own 48 yard line, and with a fourth down situation and 28 seconds remaining in the half, the Bulls lined up in punt formation. Go Gabe, Go Instead of punting, Gabryel pulled off one of the prettiest and most remarkable runs witnessed at Rotary Field this season. Standing three yards to the side, behind center Jim Reger, the short snap went to Gabryel who stayed low without moving for three seconds. With the Cadet defenders rushing behind and to the side of him, Gabryel tucked the ball under his arm and sprinted to the Coast Guard 33 yard line for a 19 yard gain. DiMicro then threw to Tony Grisanti who was interfered with inside the five yard line. With one second remaining, DiMiero bootlegged it in for the tying halftime score of 14-14. The second half was, of course, another story. On the second play of the half, Feldman threw a quick slant in pass to Richards, who beat the Buffalo secondary in a foot race to the endzone. While the UB offense remained dormant, the Cadet attack surged forward with Butler, Richards, and halfback Alex Simonka each scoring touchdowns to secure the victory. The Cadets could have run up the score even more if it hadn’t been for their own turnovers. They were intercepted once while on the Buffalo seven yard line and fumbled the ball three times at the Buffalo nine, eleven and twelve yard lines. Monday, 7 November 1977 . The Spectrum .

The Co<ip was temporarily closed by Vice President for Finance and Management Edward Doty on November 7, 1975 because of a lawsuit brought forth by Carl Cavage, owner of Cavage’s Record Store, which contended the Coop was competing unfairly with the j. Cavage Store in the University Plaza. One month later, University President Robert Ketter overruled Doty’s decision and allowed the Coop to re-open under new guidelines: the Coop was limited to a gross sale of $10,000 per month; it had to issue monthly income statements to Ketter and the Director of Norton (now Squire) Hall, James Gruber. In an effort to “keep the public aware,” said Floersch, all “F” albums will be sold at the cost price of $3.55. Tables will also be set up in Squire Hall which will distribute information regarding the current status of the Coop/Cavage lawsuit. The Coop is also planning to redecorate. It has received paint from the Maintenance Department and it is planning to enlist the support of Art majors in painting the Coop’s walls. Floersch said, “It’s a bad situation and a lot of people don’t know about it. 1 hope this sale will help keep people aware of the Coop’s situation.” —Coker The Spectrum Friday, 4 November 1977 State University of New York at Buffalo Vol. 28.

The suit, filed by the Courier in Federal Disctrict Court one week ago, alleges that the News is violating federal anti-trust laws and the State Penal Code in an attempt to “eliminate the Courier-Express as a competitor” in the Buffalo area newspaper market. The Courier's contention’s center around the pricing and marketing plans for the News Sunday edition, which is slated to premier on November 13. Since the Courier draws most of its revenue from its Sunday morning edition, the News may siphon off enough advertising income and subscribers to force the financially unstable Courier out of business. Buffalo would then become a “one newspaper city,” the suit alleges. The Courier is specifically seeking to end what it feels are unfair buisness practices by the News, including: distributing any edition of the News at no charge, setting advertising rates at an unreasonably low level, encouraging “either implicitly or explicitly” paperboys, district managers or distributors of the Courier from quitting the Courier in favor of the News, publishing “disparaging” remarks about the Courier, sponsoring any contest in violation of the New York State law (specifically the “Scoreball” contest), and taking, any action to “eliminate the Courier-Express" as a competitor. fticing arguements Federal District Judge John T. Curtin last Monday referred initial hearings in the case to Federal Judge Charles L. Brieant of New York City, who flew in to begin jury selection in another case. In an appearance before Judge Curtin Monday, News attorney Manly Fleischmahn 'ottttined his defense to the Courier's allegations. One of the backbones of the News defense will be the arguement that the . News is simply attempting to end what has been a Courier monopoly of the Sunday morning market. Fleischmann, in his._ statement to Judge Curtin, called the absence of a News Sunday paper a “hsitorical anachronism” which limits the News' ability “to serve its readers.” “News happens seven days a week, and the defendant wants to report the news to its readers seven days a week,” the statement reads. The “irony” of the Courier's charging an attempt to monopolize while itself owning a monopoly for decades “would appear obvious to even the most casual observer,” the statement said. Profit expected Much of the Courier’s case rests on the News’ pricing of its Sunday edition at $.30 while the Courier sells at $.50, and the News’ recent announcement that the present $1.05 a week charge for the Monday—Saturday News would remain unchanged for a five week “introductory” period, despite the addition of an extra paper on Sunday. “We don’t want to prohibit them from having a Sunday newspaper,” said Courier attorney Frederick P. Furth, ‘They’re free to have a Sunday paper if they want, but they are not free to have a newspaper that they’re giving away; they’re not free to have a' newspaper that would be sold below cost.” The News countered by claiming in the statement to Curtin that the $.30 price was set with full intention to turn a profit at that price. The fact that the Courier charges $.50 is testament to its monopolistic position on Sundays, the News charged. �f Amherst Campus: evolution on the brink of the seventies Editor's This is the first in a series of articles dealing with the impacts a multiversity has on its students, focusing on this University in particular. Tart one deals with a comparison of the sixties and the seventies at this University, how the Amherst Campus evolved and the impacts it has on students today. note: by Michael Delia Staff Writer Spectrum The late T960’s and early 1970’s were a time of trouble for this University. But' the seventies, far from being their antithesis, are in some respects a continuation. During the campus unrest of 1970, local newspapers were filled with tales of terror; fire bombings, sit-ins,- confrontations and riots were splashed across their front pages. Many angered citizens from the community cried out in unison: “Shut the University down.” Today some hostility remains, but the University on the whole has changed dramatically. SUNY at Buffalo embarked upon the seventies with a shortage of money caused by a shortage of public confidence. During the political turmoil of 1970, a legislative assistant to Governor Rockefeller said, “The governor is apprehensive that if UB’s situation isn’t eased soon, the campus militants will keep it up until they can swing right over to Amherst once the construction season starts.” At the same time the buffalo Evening News reported: “Continued disorder at UB could cuts in produce both the University’s operating budget and capital funding for the Amherst Campus.” External influences the sixties, During the strengths and University’s essentially excellence were visionary; its future, a promise. The Campus Plan called for the construction of a new campus in iburb? Amir it ith a targeted ' 1970. The state claimed that cuts in the capital funding for the Amherst Campus were due to fluctuations student in population, changes in federal and state education policies, and the suddem constriction of employment. Vice President of Academic Affairs and Political Science Professor Claude Welch is heading a task force to examine the increased attrition rate of students at this University from 18 percent in 1976 to 21 percent in 1977. Welch said, “During the late highly 1960’s this was a progressive’ university, on the frontiers of change.

With the moving of Lockwood Library to Baldy Hall and the opening of the Capen Hall Library, Director of University Libraries Saktidas Roy anticipates more efficient services and facilities when the move is completed. The Lockwood Library, on the North Campus, will house a collection of one million volumes from the old Lockwood building, along with many from the Art Library in the Ellicott Complex. The Capen Hall Library, also on the North Campus, will consist of four floors. The ground and first floors will house the books previously kept at the Undergraduate Library (UGL), while the second and third floors will contain the Science and Engineering collection. The fourth floor will be the new location of the Director’s office, rare books, the University Archives and a poetry section. New services available Roy was anxious to bring forward the many new services available at the new branches. “Most importantly, the consolidation of books once scattered over three campuses will lead to greater efficiency in obtaining the books students need,” said Roy. Consistent throughout the new libraries will be the following improvements: there will be more hours, approximately 104 hours weekly of supervised library service with 24 hour a day service in some unsupervised areas; microfilm will be readily available in both buildings; space will be expanded four times in terms ot the Lockwood Library’s seating capacity; computer service will be more widespread leading to increased efficiency and ease in controlling data linked with the over two million books and periodicals; interlibrary services and loans will be extended to students as part of this new program. Because the Ellicott Complex will be deprived of both the Hall and Art Libraries, there is a plan to have trucks run books over to that campus. These books would be requested by students and supplied by bookmobiles. Library move dates The following dates have been set for Library moves. From November 7—11, the Director’s office will be moved to the fourth floor of Capen. For two v'eeks starting on the first of December, the University Archives will be moving to the same floor of that building. From December 27—January 16, the Undergraduate Library will move to the first floors of Capen. The Bell Storage materials, now in the Capen Hall basement will be moved to the new Lockwood as soon as the Undergraduate Library (UGL) move is facilitated. On April 17, the Poetry collection will join the Director’s office and Archives in the fourth floor of Capen. On May 19, the Hall Library will move to it’s new Lockwood location followed by a major move on the 22nd of that month. This large undertaking consists of transferring the one million books in the old Lockwood to their new branch. Summer students will be deprived of this collection until July 19. Between August 15-September 15, all Science and Engineering books will be permanently lodged at Capen, completing the transition in time for the Fall semester of 1978. Amherst gains another one UGL to relocate at close of fall semester; many angered by Stephanie Maier Spectrum Staff Writer move to temporary quarters on second ansi third floors of occur between win CSpen December 27 and January IS. This space will eventually belong to the Science and Engineering the The (UGL) Undergraduate Library will be banished to Amherst after the close of the Fall semester, a move which will severely curtail use of the facility during finals week in December. Student reaction to the move ranges from disbelief to anger. “1 can’t believe it,” responded Paula Armesto, a senior who has grown accustomed to dropping into the UGL between classes. “The location of the library is so convenient,” she said. “The move is unfair to people who live on the Main Street Campus and also to those who reside off-campus,” said Anna Zaparyniuk. “You can lose an hour of studying time just traveling back and forth.” The UGL will move twice, according to Yoram Szekely, the UGL’s head librarian. The first Library. Carpet schedule decides Tentatively scheduled between March 15 and April 2 is the second move to permanent quarters on the main and ground floors of Capen. “Therefore the UGL will be tentatively closed the week before the Spring semester midterm break,” remarked He conceded the Szekely. apparent stupidity of the timing but added, “We are locked into the carpet installation schedule. We cannot move in until the carpet is installed. Then the book stacks can be placed. We cannot wait until the end of the spring semester because it would cost the University more money.” The current UGL space in Diafandorf Annex will house the Computer Science Department which must leave its present rented quarters at the Ridge Lea Campus. The State has terminated the rental after January. Two disadvantages were noted by Szekcly if the move was delayed until the end of the school year. First, Lockwood Library is moving May 22 and then. two libraries would be inaccessible to summer students. Second, the moves would take longer if held simultaneously, he said. Only the Health Sciences library and the Architecture library in Hayes Hall will remain to serve the Main Street Campus after UGL, Lockwood and the Science and Engineering Libraries move. A small Main Street Library is planned which will house reserve readings for remaining departments. —continued on pag« HILLEL IS SPONSORING A TRIP TO TORONTO Bus leaves 40 Capen Blvd. at 6 pm on Nov.

Isaacs Spectrum Stuff Writer The New York State Court of Appeals remained undecided Tuesday as to the constitutionality of Governor Hugh Carey’s bond proposal to spend $750 million for statewide comprehensive economic development in transportation, tourism, environmental conservation and industrial development. The New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) has charged that the proposal violates a state constitutional requirement stating that all state bond issuances must be approved by the New York State voters and be for “some single work or purpose.” The enormity of the expenditure also influenced NYPIRG to take its action. Thus far, the courts have agreed with NYPIRG. In a four-to-one decision handed down on October 27, Associate Justice J.L. Larkin wrote that the State’s assertion that “comprehensive economic development” was a single purpose would “render the phrase meaningless” and allow the state legislature to group many diverse and unrelated issues under one issue “and gain support of proponents from each cause.” The State immediately appealed this decision and the Court of Appeals scheduled the current special session. On the ballot Tuesday, the justices brought up many new issues. The Court of Appeals, consisting of seven judges, headed by Chief Justice Breitel, held differing opinions about whether or not the case could be considered. One justice felt the case may have been brought up too late. Even if the Court upholds the lower court decisions. State representatives claimed there is no way they can physically remove the issue from the voting ballots by election time. This means that either the votes on the issue will not be counted or not considered. Another agreed with the dissenting opinion of the Appelate Division’s ruling which, Associate Justice A.F. Mahoney claimed, called for waiting until after the vote before deciding upon the constitutionality of the issuance. After the decision was rendered. Associate Judge Mahoney said, “Judicial action at this point is not only prudent but warranted,” because of the magnitude of the issue and great public interest it has created. NYPIRG attorney Dennis A. Kaufman commented that it was “difficult to see if the court will judge on the merits of the case.” Bi-partisan support Whether or not the proposal is constitutional, the possible benefits from the sale of $750 million in bonds are still in question. Executive Director of NYPIRG Donald Ross called the legal action “an attempt to prevent a huge debt that would burden future generations” and felt the bond is “little more than a way to amass a huge war chest for pork barrel politics in the 1978 gubernatorial election year.” He claimed, however, that NYPIRG was not opposed to the issuance of bonds for local projects. Republican Senator Jacob K. Javits claimed he endorsed the bond issue even though he felt it may have been put forth to further Carey’s re-election campaign. “I consider the economic development of New York State its first problem,” said Javits, “and 1 don’t see any other programs around that are going to do too much.” Friday, 4 November 1977 The Spectrum Page five . . �GSA presentlyformulating essential demands by Brace Latman increase in wage levels (hat have been the same for eight years; guarantee of tuition waivers: and The Graduate Student restoration of graduate and Association (GSA) is currently teaching assistantships 165 toward working the GA/TA lines were cut in 1974. implementation of “essential representing a net savings of over demands” to benefit Graduate S500.000. which is 25 percent of Assistants (GAs) and Teaching the entire savings cutback at this at Assistants this University, according to the GSA (TAs) University, according to President newsletter.

Renovation has begun in Kimball as a result of the federal grant from the Division of Associated Health Professions of the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare. The grant of $693,380 was received in July of 1976 for the renovation of the fourth through seventh flours in Kimball. These four floors encompass about half the space necessary for (he 600-620 students in HRP, according to Dean Robinson. He said. “Grants such as this are rare and are usually given fur personnel training only.” “Further space for the School must be obtained and this space may not be established in Kimball,” according to Robinson. He added. “Therefore, some departments will probably remain spread out in different parts of the campus.” the Currently, various departments of the School of HRP are presently divided in Pritchard, Foster, Crosby and Gark Halls, with offices on Winspear Avenue, and classes in Memorial Meyer Hospital. “Centralization in Kimball Tower would benefit the school greatly," agreed sources in the School. The OT Department, with approximately 140 students, is expected to move to the 5th floor of Kimball by next, year, to according Department Chairman Kent Tigges. “Space is currently needed for labs and offices for the faculty, which are presently housed in Foster.” said Tigges. The PT Department, with approximately 170 students, is scheduled to move to the sixth floor. � . � � � • ‘The fate of the Health Sciences Library is currently in question,” according to Neal. The was library temporarily established in the lower, floors of Kimball for a period of five years and it is now in its fourth year of residence. “The ultimate hope,” according to Neal, “is for the Library to be moved to Abbott Hall, although the building may not provide enough space A feasibility study will be needed to determine whether Abbott should be renovated, tom down and rebuilt,or enlarged.” There is no definitive answer to the funding problem faced by the University Health Science Schools. Until the money is cleared by the DOB, individual schools and departments will face an uncertain future while with continually grappUng problems of overcrowding and facility shortages. Making the move to Amherst Renovations in Kimball Tower, which will eventually house the School of Health Related Professions, are currently underway and “should be completed by the end of the calendar year." Assistant Vice President of Facilities Planning. John Neal, said. Approximately one quarter of a million dollars has been appropriated by the state for the renovations, which affect the fifth, sixth and seventh floors of Kimball Tower, Neal elaborated. Plans for the Main Street Campus include the accommodation of all the Health Sciences Schools, in addition to the conversion of Foster Hall into a “Wet Lab” Facility. A “Wet Lab” is a laboratory with gas and water fixtures. The design for this project has not yet been started although funds have been appropriated. Neal explained that projects take approximately two years to design, two years for construction and one year to “work out the bugs.” Another project slated to being soon is the evacuation of the rented Bell Plant facility, whose workers will be temporarily housed in Cary Hall. buildings on the Main Street campus are pending until new buildings are constructed at Amherst. “You can't go into a building and start tearing it up until you've moved the people in them out,’’ Neal said. Three buildings, the reactor building, Clark Hall and Parker Hall, will remain the same on the Main Street Campus. Future projects indude moving the Health Sciences Library from Kimball Tower into Abbott Library. Neal said. This will necessitate building an extension onto Abbott since it is not big enough to hold the Health Sciences Library at the present time, explained Neal. Money is expected to be appropriated for this project in the near future according to Neal. Other renovations include the movement of the Science Departments into the Cary-Farber-Sherman complex and the dental clinics into Squire Hall, Neal elaborated. Student organizations currently in Squire Hall have not yet been allocated offices at Amherst. They have been guaranteed space in Squire for two years, and after that, their status is uncertain.

According to a New York Times CBS News poll, the American people appear to be losing confidence in President Carter’s ability to restore trust in government. His promise to restore that trust was the keystone of his successful Presidential campaign, but one out of every six Americans who believed this in the early summer, no longer thinks he can.

The internships are designed to “provide an educational experience for students who want to take a semester off from formal classroom work or who wish to spend part time working with NYPIRG while attending class.” NYPIRG is one of the nation’s largest advocacy organizations and is' located in various schools from Brooklyn to Buffalo. According to the flyer, “NYPIRG trains students in citizenship through a broad range of consumer, environmental, and government reform issues.” The internship programs range from full-time jobs in Albany and New York City to part-time jobs in Buffalo. Available in Albany are ten legislative internships, five legislative researcher jobs, and fourteen positions with New York State Agencies. Jobs in Buffalo include those in local government o(Tices and experience as Outreach interns. Outreach interns are people “who reach out into the community to build a coalition supporting NYPIRG program bills,” according to the information distributed by NYPIRG. Other positions available include four positions as Mobile Teach-In interns, people who travel in a converted school bus throughout New York State conductg public education campaigns and New York City based programs as interns to small claims court. City agencies, and NYPIRC offices. “Credits will be gjven for the program, but will depend on the instructor,” said Ron Wainrib, the Legal Coordinator of NYPIRG at this University. Wainrib claimed. “The programs are valuable because they give you a chance to work elbow to elbow with government officials.” Students wishing to apply for internships should pick up an application in the NYPIRC Office (Room 311 Squire Hall).

Page seven �EDITORIAL Editor's comment For Mayor The Spectrum, by nature of its being, so to speak, is not supposed to endorse Arthur Eve for Mayor of Buffalo. The Spectrum is not supposed to endorse anyone for anything, almost, but this year, the election facing the people of this dty on Tuesday is the most Important one in Buffalo's racerit history, and therefore. It would be a journalistic blunder to not pass judgement on it and by doing so, not try to affect its outcome. The problem at this desk is how to convey to students at this University the vital importance of this election to the very survival of Buffalo. There is presently a good chance to overhaul the aging, worn and bitterly resolute political machine that has long controlled City Hall from the first floor to the 100th. Regardless of who gets elected Mayor, many people in and about foe city government are about to lose their jobs. And they know it. When Arthur Eve won the Democratic primary race, Les Foachio decided not to run as an independent. And so, Joseph Crangle announced in the Courier-Express and in the Buffalo Evening News that he would throw his support to Eve In his bid over John Phelan, James Griffin and Richard Turchiarelli. Who knows what that means? If he is supporting Eve, he certainly hasn't been very vociferous about it, probably to Eve's benefit. Joseph Crangle is supposed to be "the machine." Exactly how much the Mayor of Buffalo can do for this University as a functioning whole is difficult to say. University officials generally correspond more with people in Albany than they do with officials In City Hall, Funding money comes from Albany, SUN Y-CentraI decisions are made in Albany and politically appointed jobs also come from Albany. But a Mayor can do much for individual groups with different vested interests within the University community. Eve has talked about involving University professors in making decisions about the rapid transit system, for which contractors are currently taking soil samples on the front lawn next to Main Street. He hat talked of restructuring the Community Block Grant Program. Last Saturday, he met with a group of people in the Greenfield Street restaurant where he expressed interest in supporting more Block Grants to the Buffalo Co-op Council, in which many students are involved. Eve has insured the success of more minority students at this University by getting increased funding for EOF, BUILD and other aff irmative action related programs. How about this. Eve emphatically supported the decriminalization of marijuana when he spoke in Haas Lounge in a mayoral forum sponsored by NYPIRG .on September 19. Griffin and Phelan did not. Yes, it is a complex job Eve has undertaken; yes, the student vote could be a decisive factor in the election, as could any other block of votes so large in a city that is not so large. • •Brett Kline John H.

Pint, Mr. Chich charges one with writing an impossible headline. “It is amazing that Shapiro, as a *taff writer of The Spectrum could use that title for his article ...” he wrote. If Mr. Chich had known anything about journalism, he would know that The Spectrum staff writers do not write headlines. In fact, they are not even consulted. Second, Mr. Chlh is wrong in assuming that two people, namely, Tan and Yuen, are the basis of the charge. This is not true. Since Tan and Yuen are politically motivated in their reasons for making the charge, I required further proof before printing. It was only after denying all the previous “well — developed” arguments. Within a span the charges (In fact, some informants, who will remain nameless despite KMT attempts to have me name them, were KMT supporters and members.) Further, is Mr. Chih to deny investigations by MIT and NAFSA which showed that a nationwide KMT surveillance network exists. Finally, Mr. Chib charges that it was “ridiculous” that I should believe that surveillance existed “here in this free country.” May I point out that in recent years, information has been uncovered which shows that the RBI and CIA surveilled American citizens. Even in a country as free as the U.S. (which, incidentally, might be the freest in the world), surveillance has gone on. Therefore, it is not ridiculous to assume that the Taiwan government, which is not as free as America, surveills its citizens. Harvey Shapiro KMT false charges To the Editor. / Referring to the article, “KMT Spying” on the front page of the October 28, 1977 issue of The Spectrum. Harvey Shapiro, the writer of the article, did not actually understand what I said when he interviewed me on the phone. I would like to point out a few points pn which the writer was misled by a handful of self-interested individuals. 1. I hereby strongly protest that what Yuen and Tan said is completely untrue. The article was not very precise in quoting me. Of course, I do not agree with Yuen and Tan’s philosophy. My point a that it is all right for every one to share different opinions, political or otherwise, but that does not give them the right to accuse me of “KMT Spying.” There is no “surveillance” in this 2. University. Peter Yuen and Mong-heng Tan just made it up. They work in the way like the Communists do. They lie and lie until they make the Americans believe. 3. The paragraph, “Several sources have pointed the finger at Dick Ych,” is very ambigious. It is full of vague, baseless implications. I urge the writer to specify thoee sources and hope to dear up all the unnecessary misunderstanding. With regards to the paragraph which 4. describes how an agent/student writes down names and then has them “sent to the ROC consulate in New Yotk City.” I do not know how Yuen could make up such a fancy story. It h apparent that he feels very guilty in his conscious. He went wild for a while and dreamed of different kinds of fairy tales. Probably he always adopts this way to send his 5. 1 strongly accuse that the behavior of Yuen and Tan is completely illegal, and unfair to the interests of the students who come from Taiwan. The following is what I feel toward this article 1. What are Yuen and Tan trying to do to me? They want to scare me away, to make me transfer to another university? No way! 2. These two “special” students invent some sort of logic. Whenever some student tries to do something for Taiway, they get so nervous they start calling them “KMT.” If this logic is applicable to its furthest extremity, they give me no choice other than to call them “Communists.” I must make a personal remark here that I am not in the habit of making charges against anybody. 1 just believe in equal opportunity. They started first. We are entitled to do the same. 3. I wonder how they can have the time to criticize others. Is it that that is what they have come here for? Can it be possible that they are sent by somebody? I doubt it. 1 could not care less. 4. This article did a lot of damage to me, mostly mentally. I am sure The Spectrum owes me an apology. The writer owes me an apology because I prohibited him from using my name, but he printed it anyway. As for Yuen and Tan, they should be sent to the student court and sentenced to confinements to their quarters for at least the next ten years. The reason is they bite whenever they meet the opponent. S. All kidding aside, given the very real damage done to me by this baseless article, I am afraid that a recurrence of this sort of slander will force me to take legal action. Dick Yeh To the Editor: Frl*v, 4 November 1V/> - KMT story facts to less than 400 words and, if it is necessary to hand print them, make them distinctly legible. If all letters of all lengths were printed, The Spectrum editors and staff would be forced to Kmit the number of news and feature stories and just think, what a loss that would be. In addition, those students who wish their names to be printed with letters will always be given precedence over those who request that their names be withheld. As always, unsigned letters will never be printed. Thank you very much. Brett Kline Thanks to University Police The Spectrum Vot. 28.

Many students have written to The Spectrum to complain about the conduct of the University Police, saying that the officers harass students and gays, issue tickets for parking violations, etc. I would like to break from this tradition and laud two of these fine people. On the night of Oct 24, as I was proceeding home bom the UGL, I espied a man sitting in a car, a seemingly innocuous situation. I, however, tend to notice such things, especially since 1 have been annoyed by an exhibitionist already this semester. (I am not paranoid; everyone really is out to get me.) Anyway, having passed by the said man, I heard him leave his car, but was not too concerned, as I was walking along a road on which several other people were traveling. Some moments later, a man (I was not certain until later that it was the same one) drove up beside me and inquired whether I would like a ride. I responded in the negative, and he left, followed by a University Police car. Many would suppose that this person was merely acting out of kindness or some other rot, but as a female who has been offered “aid” by innumerable such good Samaritans, I can say that these strangers who accost me can at best do me no good and at worst do a good deal of harm. Moreover, having been refused, they often do not disappear “into the heart of an impenetrable darkness;” rather they turn back and drive past again and again, a thing which leaves me moat uneasy, as the path to my home is deserted in places. As 1 continued on my way, the University Police vehicle stopped near me, and the officers asked if 1 was acquainted with the mysterious man. They explained that another woman had complained about someone following her, and they offered me a ride home “just in case,” which I accepted. I feel this is an excellent example of how the University Police serve the students, and I hope that anyone who doubts that they do would consider what would happen to many people on campus, especially to females, if these officers did not protect us. This incident may prove not only that they have “better things to do” than issue summonses, but also that they attend to those better things. I would like to add that at no time did the officers request any proof of my status as a student, nor did they admonish me on the dangers of walking alone at night, realizing, no doubt, that students must often live at the library. Finally, I would like to publicly thank these two, whose names I know not, for their concern and assistance. Barbara Wagner Rage eight. Hie Spectrum Friday, 4 November 1977 . �n •ar 'Myths: The Tapestry' Some loose threads spoil the whole piece The great fascination of myths is that they bring us close as anyone can come to a certain encounter with the Almighty. From the Homeric ballads to Tolkein's SUmari/lion, art is full of persuasive illusions of the face of the world beyond our own, even if that illusion is only really the dazzle of genius. Man cannot conceive of gods in other than human terms reassuringly and art cannot measure them by any rule other than those it measures this world with. But these myths are also great stories. By their nature they must deal with the classic absolutes life and death, love and hatred, justice and vengeance. And so gods many were direct representations of those very things. Fate, as well; to see a prophecy, however unpleasant, coma, to pass, is to see the Order — Porter of Things - 1 —•— -- Ray and a reas sense of justice and Meleager's mother, after destiny keeping him safe from the Fates, must finally bring about his death.

The cast does have much of its own to contribute; the grace and presence of Ramon Alvarez's ' Meleager; the wildly magnetic Atalanta of Barbara Carson; Susan divinely dignified Slack, as Artemis; and Charlie Golden, the sacred and demonic boar of Artemis, sometimes' energetic, other times stiff. But there is no intelligence behind their work; they bring their talents to a task of flat, mechanical execution.

SPECIALS every Ronstadt playing it status for singing homecoming weekend at Cornell University is loaded with entendre. Imagine coming all the way out to Ithaca to sing "Love Me Tender" in Barton Hall, the glorifed airplane hangar that serves as Cornell’s basketball statium. It's almost as good as torching in the spotlight of Dodger Stadium; almost as apple pie. But it ain't apple pie 'cause it ain't real, folks. Her voice is real, sure. No doubt that Ronstadt belts 'em out to break yore pore lit hahrt. But nothing can free here from that ball and chain, the ball being her rock and the chain being the one towards the trend. Time was when Linda Ronstadt would play five sets at the Troubadour, singing Hank Williams' "I Fall To Pieces” and Buddy Holly's "That'll Be the Day" free enough to know that she wasn't just polishing up her overall record star spangles. But on the stage at Cornell, the show was clearly calculated in every way from the ballads to the specified points of abandon. Aside from "Desperado" (which she should leave to the Eagles, anyway) and "Silver Threads and Golden Needles" (which was the evening's unexpected pleasure), everything came from the last four albums. And following "Heart Like a Wheel," there is almost a prescription for material on every other album. And as for the Ronstadt freaks, who go as young as eleven (you should a seen the kid trying to buy a ticket offa me in the street!), the concert was just what the doc ordered: a heavy, heavy dose of the latest album with concentration on the efforts that are the most similar tolt. Ballad, rocker, ballad On the positive side of her slate, Ronstadt sang for almost two hours, maybe more, which was better than expected. It was more than when I saw her three years ago, so that seems like an optimizing point. As an opener, Karla Bonoff's song, "Lose Again," sets the mood for both the audience and the performer. Save her from her heart this time, but she'll inevitably love us and lose again. From this she jumps into "That'll Be The Day." It's a great rocker, something Ronstadt is good at and should do an album's worth of. Then "Willin'", Lowell George's truckdriving tune. It's a ballad. Then another rocker. Then a Ballad. Rocker. Ballad. Get the idea? The only time she broke from this was to sing four ballads, inlcuding "Love Me Tender" and the dolorous (what else) "Sorrow Lives Here" by Eric Kaz. And here she almost lost the audience. Well, what's a rock 'n roll mama to do? It would be terrific for Ronstadt to wander through the two hours, pulling a Patsy Kline here, a Louvin Brothers there, torchin' 'em like she knows how to do; play "Different Drum," sing like there wasn’t a plan what to do. That would be a vocal showcase, the thing that Ronstadt is supposed to be doing better than any female singer. Be electrifying, which she really only was on "You're No Good." Or, maybe in a girl group. Linda, Bonnie Raitt, Wendy Waldman, Tonj Brown. It would be inspiring to have Ronstadt as a pioneer, not a pie-face. I'll wait for the next pennant.

The Spectrum Friday, 4 November 1977 . 5vtiaaaa; Prodigal Sun �Crusaders'strength lies in each members talent by Bobby Spectrum Johansen Music Staff The Crusaders first came to my attention about four years ago whilst on my Second Crusade. These guys can cook and the sound they generate is the Crusaders. Call it jazz, jazz-rock, funk, or what you will. The fact is that over the years the Crusaders have developed a cohesive instrumental sound that goes anywhere. From the LeParis Club to the Tralf and even to the Mush room (If you go there . . please), their sound can be heard, and why not? . Individually, their talents are enormous, and you can find any number of them on herds of albums ranging from Steely Dan to Jdhn Klemmer. This for me was where the strength of the Crusaders lie, in the individual energy and talent that makes up the group. O.K., they were really tight, but didn't those solos generate energy! Each Crusader received great reception for their solo efforts. "Stlx" Hooper changed the mood of the concert with an excellent fifteen minute solo on his tuned drums. As he started, the shifting beat brought visions of Krakatoa East of Java to the top, and he made the place shake. I turned to a fiend-ah, friend whose eyes were closed, and asked if he was crashing. He said he only had to feel the music. Many numbers passed as "Stix" switched to the — cymbals and earned a standing ovation. Robert "Pops" Popwell, bassist for the Crusaders, played one of the most impressive bass solos that I’ve ever seen or heard, bar none (sorry. Jack). Not only is Popwell as big as a house and as bright as a dayglo tennis ball, but quick too! He flailed at the bass for ten minutes to the total delight of the audience and they showed it too. As Wilton Feld r, saxaphonist, so appropriately said, "He plays our brand of music." Plucking fine riffs The band opened up with a few good mellow numbers, with Joe Sample, keyboardman extraordinaire, showing why many people call him the mainstay of the Crusaders. The sound was tight and clean and really came through on David "Fathead" Nemwan's cut, "Hard Times." Sample started "Hard Times" with an excellent solo on the organ. With Felder's sax wired through a synthesizer and Billy Rogers plucking fine riffs, the Crusaders made "Hard Times" one of the highlights of the evening. After the Stix solo session, the band went into "Chain Reaction," the title cut from their album released in 1975. This was the Crusaders at their collective best as they played one of their most popular tunes.

Felder's sax was ever present, Roger's guitar continually plpcking fine lead with the rest of the band right on time. Only the absence of Wayne Henderson on to trombone detracted in any way from the performance (Wayne is in the studios now). Something must also be said for Billy Roger's guitar. Honestly, I was a bit disappointed that Larry Carlton wouldn't be playing lead. This quickly changed as Rogers deomonstrated an ability to play his own synthesis of jazz- rock guitar. All in all, the Crusaders were excellent, the crowd was receptive, the smoke tasty, and the seats left a little to be desired. The opening act was Gary Bartz, who has a thing for macaroni. The lead-off number was severely unimpressive. This initially detracted from his set which wasn't all that bad. Bartz played a decent sax but that was about it. His back up band wasn't exactly precise, but they tried hard; give 'em two points for effort. The female vocalist could really rip off those Minnie highs. The endurance was worth it. The Crusaders made it so. BetsyRose and Cathy Winter to appear at UUAB Coffeehouse Women making music . . the songs and voices of Betsy Rose and Cathy Winter are spotlighted at the UUAB Coffeehouse, tonight and tomorrow night at 8:30 p.m. in Squire Hall's First Floor Cafeteria. Both based in the Boston/Cambndge area, Betsy and Cathy represent two different faces of the emergence of what's been called "woman song" — women forking within and without various musical traditions and styles. It embraces as wide a range as any musical idea. Rosalie Sorrels (here last week) exemplifies the idea as much as more conscious and obvious activists like Holly Near (one of the field's most militant exponents) and England's Fiankie Armstrong. Betsy writes and sings her own music with skill that Rock magazine has called “so perfect it seems easy," & Pop herself on piano and guitar. Two of her songs, "Glad to Be a Woman" and "Neglect" have been released as a single by Philo Records. accompanying Blue Winter Cathy came from the blues and ragtime tradition, and is an unusually skilled guitarist (as any blues/ragtime player of any worth must be) Her own songs stray at times out of the strict folk idiom, as in the impressionistic, almost soft jazz moods of "Black Magic Dancer” and "Bitterwood." Besides a great deal of club work around Boston and elsewhere, both Betsy and Cathy participated in the Boston Women’s Music Weekend of 1975, which has become something of a legend in musical and womanly circles.

I wonder. Somewhere in the transition from book to movie, the emphasis of the story, and thus the image of the Theresa Dunn character, has been lost. This is not a question of interpretation, for one expects that the art pf one medium will, when presented in another, be expressed differently. The problem with Goodbar is that it is not expressed differently, it is just different; so basically different, in fact, in its very approach to the story, that it is apparent that director-writer Richard Brooks chose to remain unfaithful to the book's intentions. to reject. The Theresa Dunn in the movie, played by Diane Keaton, is much more self-confident. She has apparently come to grips with her Traditional morality The whole Morrissey character, that matter, has been so drastically altered in the film as to be almost unrecognizable. It is very critical that in the book he is a lawyer, for he gives his side of his conversations with Theresa in a very composed, precise manner. He morality is traditional for only cursory treatment. (Theresa, having just had sex with her college professor, comes face to not occur in the novel. Mr. Dunn face, in fantasy, with a nun in the fond he is was quite of James, and doors of a subway train.) She is a very annoyed that Theresa has given him up. She explains that'' special, singular case, the movie she doesn't want James because shows us repeatedly, and she she doesn't want children. She knows what she's doing. Thus knows that she has congenital Theresa is able to move out of her parents' house, even if it means scoliosis, a spinal disorder, and she personified, totally dedicated to demanding, Theresa, and eventually, that she be totally dedicated to him. And though he finally gives up on Theresa, it is not without a last statement to assure her that the decision between them is ultimately hers. The James in the movie lacks literary counterpart's his devotion. He is concerned with fris own survival and enjoyment. When they go out together, he dances with another woman. S When Theresa hurts his feelingp, he responds with his own anger and lies. And near the end of the film, when Theresa runs away from him in'a bar, he simply gives up and leaves. Confrontations and decisions And that's too bad. He has taken a moving, depressing novel, one which raises questions about the development of a woman's sexuality, and he has given it answers. Indeed, the book is not so much about a woman, it is about any woman; about a time (the 1960's) when women were forced to deal with traditional sexuality, and if she chooses the religious upbringing in a world of singles bars over a stable changing sexual values. This relationship with James, it is conflict endures throughout the precisely because quick, no ties book, from Theresa's short but sex is what she has decided she intense acquaintance with a wants. This is spelled out for us in Hassidic Jew, to her longer, more a scene where Theresa has a complicated involvement with confrontation with her father, James Morrissey, a social worker incidentally, a scene which does Of course, the fact that the film version of Looking For Mr. Goodbar is so surprisingly unlike the novel would not be so offensive if one could believe that the reasons were technical ones, and that they had at their core some indications of good faith But I can imagine someonw who hasn't read the book leaving the leaving behavior.

Prodigal Sun �Thoughtful, quiet $|p Colorh requires examination Foreign Film Oscar winner "Black and White in pessimistic view ofhumanity by Michael Silberman. Spectrum Arts Staff members, trading crucifixes and statues of Mary for whatever relics and artifacts they can lay their hands on. Black and White in Color, the recipient of last year's Academy Award for Best Foreign Film, is set in a French outpost in remote West Africa. Director Jean-Jacques Annaud, in an impressive debut, chronicles the daily existence of several characters in this farcical film. The often used theme that war is a senseless and futile endeavor is evoked in a subtle and understated manner, as Annaud focuses on the individuals whom he implies are to be held accountable for their own misfortunes. There are two neighboring settlements of Germans and French which exist amiably, if for no other reason than basic economic need. Both colonies exploit and manipulate the Black natives. Secluded from the outside world, both the French and the Germans are unaware that World War I has erupted, and that they are now supposed to be enemies. The French learn of this situation first and launch a surprise attack, which is conveniently fought on both sides by the natives. An unlikely hero Annaud accentuates the folly in a humoristic manner, ridiculing human action while maintaining serious overtones. When the French begin their ill-prepared attach on the Germans, the scene is portrayed in a height of absurdity. Both the men and the women are dressed in their best attire, enjoying a picnic lunch of fruits and wine while the natives go forth to fight their battle. The women consider the war to be even more exciting than New Year's Eve. Annaud captures the banality of these people as his camera surveys the feast while, in the distance, one hears the sounds of the battle. Lunch is interrupted as the Germans, militarily surperior, repel the attack and send the French fleeing. The French seem to welcome the news of the war as a means of relief from their boring and stifling existence, but soon come to realize the dangers they face. An unlikely hero appears as Hubert Fresnoy, a young geographer, assumes command of the French "army." Fresnoy, who previously opposed the attack and had been criticized as merely being an "intellect," proves to be a brillant and ruthless stratigan. He becomes quietly infatuated with his power and soon appears as a dictator. Noble pretensions Under close scrutiny, none of the characters of Black and White in Color sustain any sense of moral integrity. The French priests barter with tribe • • • They seek to show the natives the strength of the White man's god by miraculously riding a bicycle. Annaud also depicts the natives as having their share of prejudices. They believe that the Whites attract flies, and they sing songs calling attention to their master's smelly feet as the unsuspecting enjoy the sweetness of their voices. Even the noble pretensions of Hubert Fresnoy do not stand up to close inspection. He admits in a letter that he is impressed by the natives and feels they can almost be called men. Vet, in the same scene, he carefully wipes cleqn a glass his Black servant hands him. The war is seen by almost everyone as an occasion from which to profit. Feigned pride and honor serve as masks for such self-concerns as prestige and wealth. The merchants, who initially aCkocated the war, soon do an about face when they have to provide the natives with proper supplies. Ironically, the one person who opposed the war, Fresnoy, is the one most altered by it. His transformation lends creedence to the notion that heroes are created by need and aren't sprung superior from birth. Unobtrusive intent Annaud's vision of humanity is far from being optimistic or flattering, yet he depicts man's faults in a manner that isn't offensive. His style is one of unobtrusive intentions. Annaud allows his camera to articulate his vision rather than burden us with ponderous verbal exposition. A simple shot of a native going into battle carrying his gun atop his head concisely, and without straining, reinforces the notion of exploitation. Annaud also utilizes Pierre Bachelot's score in an effective way, as the misplaced grandeur of the music often ridicules the happenings on the screen. The director shoots many scenes from long range, depicting the beauty and promise of a land which remains neglected by man. The cast of mostly unknown French actors are all fine in their respective roles, providing enough comedy without appearing to be downs. to co-exist.

She remains distant for most of the film, inviting the viewer to cpme along and explore the depths of her mystifiying and flakey personality. This is especially evident in her alternately strange and thoughtful lines like: “Bobby, are there homos in Newark?" and "When you don't believe in destiny, everything becomes dangerous, doesn't it?" In one scene, she leaves Bobby in bed to go off "ballooning." One experiences here life's joy as she becomes a dot amongst the multitudinous colors of the balloon regatta, wafting over toothpick trees and the deep recesses of the meandering river below.

The viewer sees things through his eyes, and one reacts to the crowd's applause, Lillian's riddles, and marvelous race scenes along with him. At the beginning of the film, he is dull and the movie is subsequently slow-moving. Yet, little by little, his depth unfurls, and the viewer is enclosed, mesmerized. The character becomes so absorbing and intense that finally every glance, hand motion, and whisper becomes an explosion of profound inner movement. The cinematography is correspondingly precise. Each object, from Pacino's watch to the very wine he drinks, has a definite reason for its being there. And the movie's frequent long takes invite analysis and — Thoughtful, intelligent, and quiet The two race scenes were filmed with the help of Mario Andrrfftti and James Hunt and they are spectacular.

When she later decides that she likes him, she says, "Hold me," and, in her hotel room, he begins to oblige, only to find that she has fallen asleep. To make sure she is asleep, there is that obligatory passing of his hand from her smooth creamy forehead to her soft auburn hair but waitl when he is done caressing, his hand has quite a large shock of her hairl This appears to him to be somewhat strange, and in a comical she is moment, he puts it back, half hoping that it will stick.

We hear that dope isn't news anymore. But it will be and the reissue of this book is remarkably timely over twenty years since its original, censored appearance as a "back room" book by a "Wm. Lee". Our junk-strung narrator entreats us to lean in our chairs, away from the vague Mysteria of "taste" and to enter the myriad, scheduleless, shifting panorama of bar-creeps, killers, thieves, wimps, lovers, cops, liars, heroes, fakes and friends finger-nailing and subwaying over and through one another for a bit t'get by, a stick t'walk with, a pass to the place where one would be all the time but can't but has to, immediamente. The scene shifts "south of the corder" but the dance in the next room doesn't change the dream in this one.

The Ramone's logo is not exactly a recent conception in the music industry. Nevertheless, the Ramones remain an underground phenomenom that deserves more than just visual fanfare. No doubt with the proper airplay, it could make the group just as popular as Kiss and twice as dangerous as anything with a safety pin through it. Hopefully the inclusion of this track on these two albums, plus the recent endorsement from Warner Brothers will do the trick. Clocking in at a mere 2:45, "Sheena" is as bouncy as anything the Beachboys have created this decade and twice as pertinent. Ramone's fans of the past will find that the added textured harmonies and percussive frills supply an extra dimension that the group needs if it is to carry its sounds into the future. The flip side, "I Don't Care" is equally as catchy but with a sound that closer approximates their first LP rather than their newer refined sex. If you liked the Box Tops (remember that chartbuster "The Letter") or Big Star, then you'll more than appreciate Singer Not The Song by Alex Chiltom (Ork 81978). Thanks should be directed towards label owner Terry Ork for helping poor little Alex up from the skids and returning him into his natural habitat, the recording studio. While Singer Not The Song has it's tattered moments, the material and arrangement match his earlier works making this a very enjoyable EP (extended Player). Tracks include "Free Again", 'The Singer Not The Song", "Take Me Home and Make Me Like It", "All The Time”, and a rave-up version of "Summertime Blues". Sound Good? Hop on down to Play It Again SAm's on Elmwood Ave. Sound good? Hop on down to Play It Again, Sam's on Elmwood Ave. This is the rare and tangible character of this book. It is the timeless lure of the criminal life but it no is a new and specifically appropriate lure riches, no easy life, no wild parties really, no endless sexual trysting simply the private satisfaction of controlling the scope and kind of Mind and Body, for a while; away from the suburbs and hip havens of American chic. Sensing the absurdity of a life of private desires where the lore in a world of legislated appetites and the law are eyes meeting in a keyhole, one has — — — "a situation that could only be tolerated by people who do not taste what they eat." So here we are, on the invisible corners in a crowded room waitin' on a real deal or a square meal at Lola's. "There was neither past nor future in Lola's. The place was a waiting room." In the fading light even as the hip entrepeneurs dump a body in the desert outside of Tucson, the suburban housewife spasms into valium withdrawal, the Wall St. lunch — crowd and someone nods off on a Detroit in the fading, fugitive bennie-eyed neon cafeteria. Junky is a book of scrupulous attention and purpose a throwback to a time right around the corner where the mind is dry and lead by the body to a "power vision in solitude" amidst the "fear and loathing" of larvae hatching in a handshake Navero ties-up assembly line — — ItfCfcS From England comes a group of banshees with an average in age of about Brian Chevettem and last but not least a drummer who goes by the name of Dee Generate. Their game? Recording for the Label (TLR 003) and playing hard driving rock and punk roll ala Sex Pistols. Yet while the Sex Pistols have only advanced to the point where they have the problem analyzed (with theTf "no future" rap), Eater has found the solution across the seas in "Thinkin’ of the U.S.A.," and so the maxim is reinforced: McDonald's is for everyone. The B-side, "Space Dreamin'" happens to be the first fairy tale set to the punk stance. Check out Record Theater or Play It Again, Sam for this one. Record Theater also has the new and first single by Radio Stars, one of the more subliminal bands to storm out from the U K. And when you hear the A-side "Dirty Pictures", and after you do the jerk to the great picture sleeve, you'll understand what I'm talking about. Andy Ellson, Ian Macleod and Martin Gordon are the three gents behind this masterpiece (Chiswick 9-A). Imagine the musical point — counter point to the singed sights of Buffalo's Bethlehem Steel Corporation, that gargantuan gargantuate of molten mass desolation. What you's probably come up with is the most menacing tonalities this side of Hell. In other words you'd have the music of Pere Ubu, one of Clevelands' premier bands. Consisting of Tom Herman, Scott Krauss, Allem Ravenstine. Tony Maimone and a mountain of a metal man Crocus Behemoth, Pere Ubu is as bleak as a fifties apartment and an old world war movie combines; a band that can honestly interpret the sonic qualities of deprevation and industrial death. To say the least (why stop here) "Street Waves" and "My Dark Ages", the two songs featured on the single, would make for the ultimo soundtrack for a documentary on Cleveland. House of Guitars has this, but if Rochester is too far, you can write to Crocus himself at: 2314 Bellfield Ave., Cleveland Heights, Ohio, 41106. $1.50 should handle it.

However, it does glow a little. Leslie composes, arranges, produces, plays all keyboards, and sings. Sister Debbie sings lead. Since their voices are similar, Leslie's a bit mellower and more pleasing, one wonders why Les bothers with Debbie. Lots of sisterly devotion there. Anyway, the album is good Top-40 type stuff, especially the catchy "Two is a Party" (I can dance I'll give it an 85) and "Everybldy Needs Somebody", which to it would make a perfect AM hit. The rest is rather undistinguished, your basic average tunes, good background music. (Backround to what?) Nothing to get excited about, but watch out Pearl kinda grows on -P.C. you -P.C. Keith Jarret, The Survivor's Suite (ECM) This is the hot Jarret. It's about time. For a gentleman who periodically makes self-damaging gestures and statements like the one Keith made in Newsweek a short while back, he can, at times, contradict himself with a rare beauty that he seems reluctant to reveal. As this album shows, Keith can ingeniously unveil deep feelings singing. A sweeping tour de force whose mood fluctuates from Africa to Arabia to Austria and more, the colors of this flamingo's ballet spin hand-in-hand, creating a serene warmth and vibrant splendor that has been sorely missing from many of his more praised works of the last few years. Originality does speak for itself, after all, and most superbly. Charlie Haden's bass rings at times like a bass marimba, especially when floating with Keith's bass recorder, and riding the raindrops of Keith's celeste work. Paul Motian's drums swing with the sweet last of persimmons, while Dewey Redman's tenor mastery speaks most eloquently, as always, with surging might. Together, the group paints (as the brief notes poignantly suggest) a legacy that rises above the stagnantcy of Man's self-made despair. The Survivor’s Suite points to more than survival, and it shows, in Keith, a love that transcends cold, repititious arrogance. May he (and M.F.H. we) continue on this wise. — — — The Blackbyrds.

With the exception of the final tune, "Coin' Down for the Last Time," there's really nothing here you'd want to listen to more than once. David Sanborn blows his horn briefly on one track that tritely tells of a lonely man with a "silver saxophone." Fandango calls it "Life of the Party," but it's sure to put anyone with ears to sleep in no time, - even at a fiesta.

Metro; consist of the same elemental feeling with probably a bit less of the fancy chorale that City Boy arrangements and a trio of produce, oooooohhhhh "intellectuals" neat. But before this gets outa perspective, let us pay tribute and blaspheme the hardships and tribulations (and the tiny hit single success) of lOcc for making this more or less a probable happening? Probable wonder if ummm, that's the right word but ya see lOcc were really an' truly the entrepreneurs of the — ... magistrates (also the music, indirectly linked with the Hollies because bassist Graham Goutdman "Bus Stop"). Actually, City Boy ain't nuthin' but a batch of soapy romanticists. Nuthin' wrong with that except that the guy is always getting screwed over. Is that such a crime? No. But I need the escapism to transcent the reality of being a reject in the Singles Game!!! Oh, if Raymond Chandler were around today he'd have John Travolta buried beneath two tons of elephant shit. But that has nothing to do with the fact that City Boy had their first superb piece of wax neath the arm-pittos City Boy. "The jocularity Such as Hap-ki-dQ-(Ci0" ("i heard you get tougher with every reel, the kids say you got fingers made of steel") neat adjectival usage, ya know. Plus a round of notariety for that amazing film (featuring William Holden and rejuvinated Swanson), Gloria "Sunset Boulevard" with a song titled in the same namesake. The poetic flow is pretty and satisfying, such as getting stoned or digging into a course of clams casino. This Young Men Gone West is the third course of variation. And it is most definitely varied though not as stale as the previous Dinner at the Ritz. Themes and vocal wrote . . . - expressionism depict picturesque moodiness, which is why they've got two splendid helpings in the form of lyrics Lol Mason and Steve Broughton. As I've said before, and I wanna reiterate, is that this album contains all the pessism necessary to make you wanna cry in your metaphorically speaking, beer of course. No macho Nils Lofgren male chauvinism for these boys; they like to get stepped all over with der high heeled shoos (the Jane Russell, Marilyn Monroe type). And the thing I like about the music is that I've never heard such tight vocal harmonizing accompanied by such lost soul — verses But oh my how we could love, / was hand and she was glove, She wanted a honeymooner, but / was a "come to sooner But oh my how we could love, was hand she was glove. We caused a locomotion, because ofmy jealous notion. / Hotcha! The music is so vivacious and pretty. It tends to take complete and distract from the perfecto-like verses. Animated musics from somba to dee R-gae twitch about in every modulation, good studio production too if I may say so. And unlike uhhh, say the Stranglers Hugh Cornwall (a master of pessism and the rejection verse; "someday I'm gonna smack your face," the ultimate solution in his eyes) die romantic dogma accompanied by frustration is kinda cute; Now Harry's lost weekend is a trembling to a close. He's drowned his dreams in nicotine and pawned his overcoat stumbles to the stairs, disturbs a love affair, he shuffles as they stare and begs to be elsewhere But can he claim a willing ear before they disappear? He's sure a lover's time is worth a dime. He Yeah, so Dylan has said it before, and so has Joni blah, blah, blah, but at least you don't need a Websters or Gideons to search for theeee meaning. Relate. in the breaches of surrealism although both share the common cause of the dramatic delving escapade: I'm not your Holleywood Scarlatti or your rock & roll Rossetti or the magazine cover of your gypsy-jade lover I'm not the screen-app 'ition or the teenage physician I'm the Mono Messiah of your sterio desire baby you pulled my ship wrecked star back together baby tonight our star is rising forever ooo it had to come Once again Metro deal in a similar venue of romanticism as City Boy, but the mannerism is a bit more incongruent? Okay, so why the big deal about the lyrics? I wonder sometimes especially since there is no more Jim Morrison and the Rolling Stones have planted their feet back on earth since 1970. But they survive and provide some sort of angst or to the accompaniment composition. Still City Boy play at vocal games while Metro is so As for Metro, well, they tend intent upon getting their idea to deal with a more opulent across (the monotonic voices surrealism musically styled with a almost act out a prop of musical toward unique bending the instrumentation). ideology of one blonde pallored Enough! Before I put thee to gentleman by the name of Brian slumbers. If, however, your lasts Eno. And not since the first early do away into an avant garde stages of Roxy Music have I hard psycho-drama, ala Peter Gabriel, such refreshing and gentle phrases. ala Genesis, I truly hope you do The tracks contain a more visual check out the profferings of these episode of sound via technical tastefully polished workings wooshes, phasings, etc. Nothing but technilogically fancy it becomes very effective in a low-keyed degree. I'm talking about the sound ya know. But descriptives get me between the balls and they are a pain to relate: almost ambiguous. I can only say that looking at the cover of the album, Metro deals with music the same way that Talking Heads do, especially David Byrne who has found music that has given him an artistic outlet. The same can be said for the trio Metro who tout plenty of magna cum laudas, Pete Goodwin (has BA and MA at 22), is infatuated with Ginsberg and Burroughs. Duncan Browne attended the London Academy of Music and studying comp all this harmony. Usually intolerable credibility spells boredom. Metro, however, havy handled their first release with massive tact and experiencing harmonics. This, despite the fact that on the album cover they tend to portray tremendous ego and seem to have an affinity for smoking Cuban ciggies. I'm not saying Metro are unique (next big thing, cover of Newsweek, etc. . . .). What I wish to clarify is that Metro have combined the proper explore added to exponents dimensions, or invent another - proportion pop/merseybeat to ancestry. their Just as say, the Babys have provided a new technique so have both Metro and City Boy. So now pop along with rock has suddenly gained more than one dimension/defini- tion/expression/whatever. Where City Boy is sincere and honest, or humorous and witty at some points, Metro is constantly two of the industry for art's sake at least, which is no real reason anyway. Ya know things have come a long way since Ronnie Spector sang "Be My Baby," although the technical phrasings that Ellie Greenwich propped are not different in the philosophies of romanticism by City Boy and Metro; its just that they tend to be a bit more elaborate. Sides, it ain't 1962 anymore and there are no Carole Kings or Jerry Coffins hanging about the Brill building pedalling their .vocabulary wares of listless teenage heartbreak and romance. Still City Boy and Metro, at least in the approach, absorb that syntax of nostalgia. I wonder if we can bring back the grand tradition of street do-wop today as well? British so, will the If undoubtedly prevail since they are only the are ones who investigating and homoginizing formulas unlike their American cousins who are lazy and tend to be satisfied (bored) with what they've got.

In improvisational music, this discipline manifests itself in communication between the players involved. The ear must be aware, the mind presage, the spirit unify and emerge. The emergence animates the form, expansionally becoming the form. Such is the case with Pryamid, a session done in June, 1977. The trio date features Lee Konitz on alto and soprano saxophone, Paul Bley at the Rhodes and acoustic piano, and Bill Connors on electric and acoustic guitar. It is interesting to note the diverse backgrounds of the artists involved. Konitz is perhaps best-known through his association with pianist Lenny Tristano in the development of a post-bop expansion school of thought. Connors, on the other hand, first appeared on the media scene as the emotionally energetic guitarist with Chick Corea's first all electric Return to Forever. On the title track, Bley's piano infers both motific clock and timeless life-sky. Connors waits, senses, searches, through the mist. The alto sun colours an eastern sky, penetrates the mist. Pensive rejoice resolves to the reality of day. "Out there," the most extensive piece on the date, wanders through the forest of Musical/Emotional moods. Sensitive ears are beautifully apparent. "Talk to Me." Minds through a diversity of harmonic and mechanical textures. A guitar-soprano duet, "Tavia," reveals a quiet pensive side. The dry Konitz tone flows meditatively over Connors' accoustic contours. Connors' aside brings Joe Pass to mind with its chordal and single line colours. Searching through the shadows of doubt; what was is not. "Longer Than You Know," but the light is close perceived. "Play Blue" inside and outside. The scheme-blue stimulates _ -- remorseless exploration. Multi-coloured reflections smile back. Pyramid reveals the creative essence and sensitivity of the artists.

For in fact, Hope is a soundtrack, a conceptual excursion to a land unseen, that heavily relies on full orchestration to complete this psuedo-Beades motif. program director in Washington, D.C., the names registered under Klaatu in the copyright office in Washington are John Woloschuk, Terry Draper, David Long, and Dino Tome. The case is closed. As for Klaatu’s Hope, it is an album that introduces the components of classical and rock, but separately rather than fusing the two. Pieces such as the chaotic "Madman" carries steady rock strains that interweave with distorting sound effects while compositions such as "Prelude" lend themselves to heavy orchestral fills. Themes run through space and time, evoking extraterrestrial images ("Around the Universe in Eighty Days," "The Loniiest of Creatures"). The album itself never pauses, parts tied together with narration, and it is these qualities that make this soundtrack sound like an old movie. Hope is an optimistic wish for all life; a wish that doesn't limit itself to narrow earthly views. Inspecting the continuum of Klaatu's music shows that Hope picks up where the first album, Klaatu, with its recognized anthem of world contact day, "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft," left off; in hope of other life. Forget the hoaxes that lead to material gains. Many, not just Klaatu, are guilty of it, including the need it. Beatles themselves. There is hope for Klaatu, and by information discovered a radio Klaatu offers hope for us. TS. According to Beatles indeed! Paul McCartney would roll over in his grave if he knew how many people jumped on the "Klaatu are really the Beatles" bandwagon after the release of the group's stunning debut album, Klaatu. And even more irony surfaced when devout Beatle-maniacs came running in defense screaming "Hoax, Hoax!!!" They fail to remember the Beatles' own pre meditated premise of "Paul McCartney is alive and well, maybe" which sent thousands of fans in search of clues to the murder mystery. Funny that through it all people never really looked at that innocent little Capitol logo as the source of these hoaxes rather than the vehicle through which they were delivered. does Nonetheless, striking Klaatu bear to the resemblance Beatles and with this second album they continue to perpetuate the hoax by failing to list any credits.

The nine songs give us a taste of classical, jazz, a touch of Latin rhythm "Winning," and, of course, rock 'n roll which most people seem to ignore in their music, but, of course, has always been there in one form or another. All of the above categories being used in the context of Giant's music with their use of syncopation (stressing the off beat). What The Missing Piece has going for it, unlike Interview, is diversity and direction, which they seem to have lost. The diversity already mentioned wasn't really gone but certain motifs recently were being driven to the ground while the direction once again is fresh with the return of humor, joy, clearer melodies, which in turn have made The Missing Piece a moving and enjoyable disc. groups like Yes and songs, they are more beautiful Genesis provide really because of their public to the mass accessible implicity. Each band member is .fairly apparent recognizable by their instrument(s) or some other one role type acticity (eg. Jon Anderson on vocals). These groups then develop a concrete musical stature or image which Gentle Giant has not. People simply find it hard, in my opinion, to deal with five While progressive rock musicians playing about thirty instruments, and the style of which is heavily based on syncopation sounds awkward to many people. Perhaps this is one reason for severe criticism and Prodigal Sun a small following they've received in England, although U.S. response has been fairly good. By and by though. The Missing Piece seems to have found its place. Setting the pace is 'Two weeks in Spain" already disliked by Giant fans who claim the same weakness of its content as in Interview. SOUTHERN COMFORT CORPORATION. TOO PROOF LIQUEUR, ST LOUIS. MO 63137 Songs like "O'm Turning Around," "As.Old As You're Young" and "Memories of Old Qjays" are definitely gpirig to be Giant standards as they remind me very much of their musical period of about five years ago. "Betcha thought we couldn't do it" is Giant's way of saying "We can and have always rocked and rolled." This song particularly demonstrates the use of their fine rhythm section of Ray Shulman (bass, etc.) and John Weathers (drums, etc.) with Gary Green sounding like hft's been listening to Led Zep. Maybe "Winning" sounds out of place at first, but it is definitely Giant doing some interesting Latin sounding things. "For nobody" gets off flying with some interesting keyboard work by Kerry Minnear (also misc. instruments) which sounds like something Focus would do. "Who do you think you are?" and "Mountain time" don't especially excite me, and obviously they are the least favored cuts on this album Always a strong point in favor of Gentle Giant their incredible quartet singing, led by Derek Shulman (vocals, misc.).

To begin with, I am very suspicious of unsigned letters to me, they indicate a sense of shame on the part of the anonymous author. It is an unprincipled practice to say the least. I must agree with the author’s fust sentence. Indeed the person was so mad they could hardly see. They could not see their irrational statements. Irrational comments such as the lumping of all sorts of divergent terms into one statement. A word of advice do not use terms sinless you are absolutely certain of their meaning. Of course our constitutional guarantees an supreme and that is why I oppose any attack on them. I hardly think the American Nazi party is an example of peaceful assembly, for that matter is any fascist organization. Ask the parents of the four children who were murdered in the racist bombing of a school in Birmingham, Alabama by the Ku Klux - Klan on Sept. 15, 1963 if the KKK was just exercising their constitutional guarantee of speech and assembly. Up until 1954 and the Supreme Court decision making segregation illegal and unconstitutional, the 14th Amendment was the sleeping giant of America. Abraham Lincoln knew that the rich and powerful had no real need of guarantees. He summed this up in the statement “The freedom of the wolf is the death of the sheep.” Today the situation is still the same. Our Constitutional guarantees were fought for by mass struggles of people. The 14th Amendment was the end result of the Civil War a war in which the inalienable rights of all people were put to the - test. rie I for one take the Constitutional guarantees seriously and because of that, I will resist with ell my strength any fascist attempt to deny or construe these rights of which people have fought so hard to *1, obtain.

While sitting around the fountain behind Squire Hall soaking up a few last rays of sunshine, I, as well as others, was frequently annoyed. Not by solicitors, Ron Couche Crime the forgotten victim easy pickings from among those who dare to believe To the Editor. In the October 21 issue of The Spectrum, a letter appeared from two inmates of the Attica Correctional Facility, asking for what can only be termed as pen-pals. They are bored and lonely. I have never been so appalled with anything The Spectrum has ever printed as I am now. These two men are convicted criminals, yet they write to a University newspaper and succeed in getting thenletter printed! What have they done to merit such attention? The worst of it h, I know they will get letters, for, from what I have seen, I know this institution to be full of misguided, soft, “humanitarian,” fools who will write them. Attica is a high security correctional facility. These two men are not there for stealing a loaf of bread. Yet, why should I be surprised? 1 live in a nation that honors its criminals, the Gary Gilmores, the suffering Attica inmates, the thieves, murderers and rapists. Their victims are the forgotten men, women and children who end up terrified, deranged from shock and grjef, or even dead.-Convicted killers stroll unmolested across college campuses in some cities, going to school and being model citizens until they kill again. A woman employee of Squire Hall was recently attacked there. What will be done with her attackers? They will more than likely be put in comfortable cells complete with daily recreation, schooling if they so desire, and perhaps even a color television set (or do they only have black and white at Attica?) and will be on the streets sgain in six months or so. They will have been fed, watched over, taken care of. Their only'complaint will be lack of “freedom.” What about the freedom of the individual to walk the streets without fear? Today’s criminal has , Space for murder that this is truly a free country. For example, if a woman kills her attacker in self defense, die is tormented by the courts, and, in some cases, may even be charged with murder. If he succeeds in raping her, the law often finds a any to turn it around and claim that she all but encouraged die attack! The situation is painfully dear. I am only nineteen now, and I am faced with the prospect of living the rest of my life in dread while we pamper our criminals and totally ignore their innocent victims. Never mind the men Gary Gilmore murdered. They’re not important, and neither are die families they left behind. How can a victim be important when his/her attacker’s “rights" are being abused? man, woman or I am tired of this. If anyone child who is old enough to know better commits what can be considered a criminal act, he has denied ever having had any rights, except for those Hut allow him the right to an attorney and a fair trial. Perhaps I should rephrase that; after having been proven guilty during the course of that same fair trial, all righto with the exception of right of appeal, and one appeal only, should be taken away. I hope that I live to see the day when we treat our criminals the way they treat their victims. In many cases, it won't be pretty, but then and only then will we be able to walk the streets again and leave our doors unlocked.

The workshop, jointly sponsored by Cora P. Maloney College and the Creative Craft Center, will start today. Infilled Creative Designing and Sewing of Clothes for Pveryday Use. the workshop is aimed towards those whose knowledge of the craft is limited. “It is basically a course for those who don't know how to sew,” said instructor Norma Rizzo, whose permission is the only prerequisite for registration. The cost of the workshop, payable to the Craft Center, is fifteen dollars for fifteen sessions. The class will meet every Monday and Friday night from 7:30 to 9:30 in 361 Fargo and will be limited to ten people. Although sewing machines and cutting tables are provided, those participating must supply their own scissors, thread and materials. Open to all students at this University, registration for the Workshop is being held every Monday through Friday from I to S p.m. in Room 120 Millard Fillmore. Making sense of a national health plan “All Americans should be protected from today's extraordinary costs ul' medical care through a national system of health insurance,” urged New York Governor Hugh L. Carey last month. The adoption of a national health insurance (NH1) would prevent further abuses already apparent in Medicaid, hospitals, private practices and other liealth agencies. At a hearing chaired by Joseph A. Califano, Secretary of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW), Carey intimated that national health insurance would “first insure pregnant women and young children without regard to financial need.” Older children, young adults and adults up to age sixty-four would then be added to the program. Senator Edward M. Kennedy (D.-Mass.) felt, “Unless a national liealth insurance program is enacted, health costs are going to bankrupt the American people.” According to Califano, hospital costs are on the rise at fifteen percent a year. However, President Carter proposed to limit these increases to nine percent in 1978. This spending ceiling is considered a prerequisite to national health insurance according to the administration. Local support The Erie County Medical Society said it supports a “privately operated system of national health insurance.” At a hearing in the auditorium of the Buffalo and Erie County Public Library, the society said it favored a system which “preserves the integrity of the physician-patient relationship.” This system would be run by a board of doctors and consumers and the states would be regulated by national guidelines. The society felt that this proposal should be added on to the present system. Dean of the Medical School here. John Naughton, said, “For the catastrophic inflationary effects of medical care, probably some form of national health insurance will be developed.” He added, however, we’re far away that the government has “no real formulative plan from large scale health insurance.” Naughton suggested that one problem facing NHI is “costs fur care are greater than government ... “There is no way of saying as yet how national health insurance would affect the health policies (such as student health insurance) at this University." said Naughton. “Discussions are in the formulative stages which are often complex and contradictory.” On the national level. Naughton conceded, “I think we are struggling with it (NHI) and will be fur a very lung time.” Leah B. Levine |< | ' • The “Cool One" Is On Campus!

Stop bounding me Velasco estimates that the Department has between 50-60 dogs. He says that sometimes people come in demanding to know if Animal Facilities has grabbed their lost dog or cat off the streets. Animal Facilities obtains dogs that are about to be put to deep from the dog pound. Other animals used for research are bought from companies that breed specifically for research. Primarily, the Department of Animal Facilities serves the Health Sciences, including the Schools of Medicine, Pharmacy, Dentistry and Nursing. For example, Dentistry students practice tooth extraction on the dogs. Any department has access to the animals for research purposes, provided Animal Facilities gives its approval. Students are supervised by trained personnel and if anything goes wrong with the procedure they can terminate it if they choose to. Animal Facilities has two veterinarians and eight veterinary technicians along with a number of supervisory and animal care personnel who are well trained in their field, says Velasco, who would not elaborate on specific experiments. Bow.. .ow? mp~‘ shares Nagarajan’s view that Deans, Provosts and Chairpersons represent another side of the school Administration. “From my vantage point, one out of three faculty should be Department Chairpersons,” he said. “Time is a desire on the part of the graduate students to be involved in conjunction with faculty, which we should definitely have.” He said, “We can go a very long way in affecting conditions of when people become GA/TAs conscious of what they can do, they will work harder.” ... Performing experiments on animals is a very touchy issue. Many think it is morally wrong to use dogs for research purposes. “Antivivisectionists” comprise a nationwide movement against experiments on animals. Most students realize that research trials are part'of the training and don’t object to it, Velasco says. The Department has had very little trouble with people refusing to do the experiments on the grounds that it is inhumane, he adds. When an animal is used, say for a tooth extraction, it can be used again for a different type of experiment. Sometimes an animal can only be used once in an experiment, other times it can be used two or three times before being put to sleep; “sacrificed in the most humane way possible,” says Velasco. When asked if animals have ever been mistreated by students, Velasco claims, “In the six years I’ve been here, there have never been any problems.’* The Department of Animal Facilities operates under very strict guidelines, reports Velasco. The care of the animals is regulated by the Guide for the and Use ofLaboratory Animals as authorized by the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare. Inspectors make periodic checks to make sure these guidelines are followed. Also every three years they come up for re-accreditation by the American Association for Laboratory Animal Care.

If there is a breakdown in one of the more basic needs of Maslow’s pyramid, the others that follow will also break down, or in extreme cases, dissolve totally. “Individuals on the Amherst Campus have a hard time or conceptualizing recognizing architectural structures,” says Danford. “The buildings seem to have no distinct shapes or boundaries their internal structures are unclear. The EUicott Complex especially is so complex that students feel lost, alienated, disoriented all of which can lead to psychological depression.” Danford claims that the architecture at Amherst can frustrate the safety and security level of Maslow’s pyramid to the degree that causes a deterioration in the individual’s overall social fabric. The Campus Plan, in reference to the EUicott Complex, reads, building “The clusters are arranged to give an individual identity to each residential college.” Danford denounced the validity of this statement, saying, “A major reason that students, and even faculty, feel disoriented and alienated by the complex is that you can't distinguish one building from the next.

Offensively, they will be showing Buffalo a multitude of formations. Lately, they have had tremendous success with the standard Wing T offense. Academy coach Bill Hickey says that his young team will be mixing a combination of running and passing, but the Cadets are more threatening on the ground. Halfback, co-captain Mickey Butler, will be the individual the Bulls must contend with most. Butler has been the workhorse of the Cadet attack this season, amassing the majority of the Coast Guard’s total yardage to date. In addition, Butler enters the game as the fifth leading scorer in the nation with a total of 13 touchdowns. At 5-10, 170 pounds, Hickey termed Butler “one of the finest athletes we have.” Service teams run Anticipating the contest, Buffalo coach Bill Dando said, “They (Coast Guard] are very quick and well conditioned. They’re not the biggest team we’ve played, but they are the fastest.” Dando added kiddingly that military schools are faster than most teams because they are constantly on the run, and Coast Guard mentor Hickey agreed. “1 guess that’s true,” stated Hickey. The Cadets will be entering the game with two consecutive high scoring victories and Dando knows that the momentum will be in the Academy’s favor. “We’ll have to have a great effort to stay with them ... and our week layoff won’t help,” stated Dando. But nevertheless, Dando is optimistic and expects a good game from his young Bulls. Defensively, the Cadets will be led by co-captain Mike Gardner, Bob Reynolds and Paul DeStefano all of whom have played brilliantly this season. Hickey said he plans to institute a multiple defense “where there will be a lot of jumping around.” In response, Dando asserted that the Cadet defense “stings you all the time; they’re always around the football.” Dando added that his team’s attitude and practice of late “has been great.” He also plans to let all squad members participate in the Bulls finale. — Big team Like Dando, Hickey anticipates an interesting ballgame. He expressed his pleasure for the contest because his Cadet squad will be playing in a different area and because of the unique atmosphere surrounding the Bulls in their first season of football since its reinstatement. “Buffalo is an entirely new opponent for us. We are not familiar with upstate New York teams,” said Hickey, adding, “they are a well coached team, fundamentally sound and one of the biggest teams we’ve faced. They run a multitude of offenses and their defense is quite good.” In actuality, the Bulls are no larger than their Cadet counterparts in size. The Coast Guard squad’s record thus far is an even 4-4, while the Bulls stand at 0-2-1. Regardless, the game should prove to be one of the most exciting contests the Bulls have played this season. Dando agrees, “A class ball club will be coming to town.” — Doyrow This Saturday, the football Bulls will host the Cadets of the Coast Guard Academy in their season finale at 1:30 on Rotary Field. The Bulls enter the game with a record of 0-2-1 wrtiiie the Cadets mark is 4-4 thus far. Remember, this will be your last chance to see Buffalo football in 1977, so don't miss it. Support your local Brave: thefuture of our home team by Marshall Adler Stiff Writer Spectrum The city of Buffalo presently has many problems. The exodus of business and people from the area has left this city economically depressed. The Blizzard of ’77 aggravated Buffalo’s already poor national reputation and one of the most controversial trials (the Long murder case) in the city’s history is about to begin. Against this backdrop, the question of whether or not the Buffalo Braves basketball team will move to another city seems minor in comparison. Braves President Norm Sonju called the Braves “vitally important to the city.” Sonju asserted that the economic and emotional well-being of the city would be adversely affected if the Braves were to move. Since Buffalo currently has so many problems, Sonju felt the Braves play an important role in uplifting the spirits of the city’s people. He stated, “Nothing gives the average blue-collar worker more satisfaction than to come down to the Aud and see a hustling Braves team knock off a National Basketball Association (NBA) power like the Celtics or the Knicks.” Lousy images Sonju also declared that the national image of the city is determined by the area’s professional sports franchises. He claimed, “People around the that Bethlehem Steel laid off 3500 workers. All they know about Buffalo is what they read in their sports pages.” He said professional sports franchises are the best public relations a city can have. Losing such franchises, he explained, severely damages a city's national reputation. According to Sonju, the people of Buffalo should support the Braves, not only for enjoyment, but because it is in the city’s economic best interest. To substantiate this claim, he used a Chamber of Commerce report that the Braves are worth S5.3 million to the Buffalo economy. In spite of all the reasons Sonju discussed in country don’t know -Clark Last Saturday, during the Big Four volleyball tournament it was time for the Hilary Schlesinger Show. Against Niagara, she scored nine points in that game, and made five defensive spikes that returned the serve to Buffalo. Schlesinger's steady play throughout the day helped her team capture its third straight Big Four tide. Schlesinger is this week's Athlete of the Week. favor of supporting the Braves, Buffalo sport fans are not running over each other to buy tickets. To put it mildly, the reaction to the Braves this year has been anything but enthusiastic. The opening night crowd of 4300 was the smallest in the N.B.A. this year and in the Braves’ history. Owner John Y. Brown has hinted that if Buffalo fans do not support the Braves, he may move the team, possibly to his hometown. Louisville. By examining the history of the Braves, however, the fans' reaction is not at all surprising. Hesitation The majority of Braves' fans are taking a “wail and see" attitude concerning this year’s team for three basic reasons. I-irstly. the antics of former owner Haul Snyder, has alienated many Buffalo basketball fans against their own team. Among other abuses Snyder heaped upon the Braves fans were his firing of a coach only one game into the season, his fraudulent claim of not raising ticket prices while the seating arrangement m the And was changed to make the same seal more expensive than it was the previous year, and his outright selling of two of the most popular players in the franchise's history (Bob McAdoo and Jim McMillian) lor his own profit. The second reason is that many people believe owner John Y. Brown wants to move the team at the first opportunity. The Braves present lease with the city stipulates that the team cannot move if the season ticket level is over 4500. Brown uses this fact to support his claim that Buffalo is the only city in the league that can determine its own future cautious Stranger in the Knight f inally, last year the Braves were one ol the worst teams in the league Only one member ( Randy Smith) of the starting five that began the season two years ago, still remains.

By virtue of the admirable man be is, Sonju has achieved this candor. What he has not achieved is an increase in Braves attendance. The Braves owner confessed that this fact has left him “extremely frustrated” and he feels “personally rejected.” He thought that he could at least gain the “conditional support” of the fans, by having them attend the early season games and judging for themselves if they should return. . > ALL ARE WELCOME Sonju asserted that he will continue to vigorously promote the Braves until the people of Buffalo are “won over." He stated that he does not “know what will turn the people on to the Braves,” but he will continue to try until this happens. What could bring the fans back to the Aud is the Braves performance on the court. The Philadelphia 76ers had some of the most imaginative promotions M the league (including a singing pig), but they did not start selling out until they acquired players George McGinnis and Julius Ervin*. In spite of Sonju’s enthusiasm and honesty, the fan reaction to the Braves will be determined by circumstances beyond his control. Paul Snyder’s past and John Y. Brown’s future actions will have a much greater effect on the Braves attendance than any promotional gimmick Sonju could conjure up. Unfortunately for him, Sonju must pay for debts he has never truly owed. The Braves are definitely an asset to the city and Norm Sonju is definitely an asset to the Braves, but because of past and possible future controversies, the Buffalo sports fans will be a tough lot to win over. Plage twenty-six The Spectrum Friday, 4 November 1977 . . - . the NBA’s second leading scorer last year, it will take time for him to win over the Buffalo fans. Since Sonju took over the job as President of the Braves, he has made an extraordinary effort to promote the Braves; He has personally answered over 300 letters of complaints, spoken to over 80 local civic organizations, and greatly improved the image of the team. Compared to the Snyder regime, Sonju seems to be a breath of freah air. He stated that he wants to be as “open, honest, and straightforward' with the Buffalo fans as possible.” - v Doughnuts are 10c ea. �CLASSIFIED WANTED SWEDISH translator naadad for class pa par.

The students, hired by the Office of Admissions and Records (AAR), took photographs and laminated the ID’s. When their paychecks failed to arrive, the students collectively wrote a letter to The Spectrum complaining of the delay. According to Assistant Director for Systems Management Richard Canale, the delay in processing of the payroll checks can be blamed on the large number of students who quit after working for a short period of time. Cr lie noted that while in past years his office has hired between 15-20 students, “there has been a vast turnover of student employees,” forcing AAR to hire 35 students this year. The turnover rate caused administrative problems and a backlog of required paperwork. Before a timesheet is sent to the payroll office, the hours worked by the student have to be verified. The delay caused by the required verification of an unusually large number of timesheets, coupled with cutbacks in office personnel at AAR, snarled the paycheck issuing process, Canale explained. Admissions and Records also extended their deadlines this year for “drop and add” leaving fewer workers available for the verification procedure, he said. Off to Albany , Canale reported that the delays have now been overcome and “the timesheets have been sent to the payroll office.” This, however, will not bring immediate financial relief to the ID workers. If all goes according to plan the time sheets will spend “about a week in the payroll office,” according to Supervisor Joyce Bernhard. The information on the timesheets is transferred to the necessary forms, balanced and the correct amount that the student should receive is entered on the forms. These forms are sent by mail to the Office of Audit and Control in Albany. It is the Office of Audit and Control that actually prints the paychecks. “That process takes less than a week In some cases,” stated Mr. John Fadica, chief audit clerk. “If, for example, payroll request forms are received In Albany this Friday (November 4), then conceivably the checks could be printed by the 11th,” according to Fadica. In any event, it appears that the unfortunate students will be waiting at least another dozen days David Levy for their remuneration. Richard C< - The Spectrum S.ate University of New York at Buffalo Vol. 28, No. 28 Attorney Lippes will argue Wednesday, 2 November 1977 Detective involved in Battle of the Record Co-op: possible cover-up of Cavages voices new charges the Long murder case by Ann Bryan Spectrum Staff Writer Carl Cavage, owner of Cavage’s Record Store, has added charges of property and financial damages to his two-year-old suit against the Record Coop at this University. Association (SA) Undergraduate Student Attorney Richard Lippes said he will argue for a motion to strike the amended material in court on Friday. The case is currently in the State Supreme Court. In October of 1975, Cavage complained that the Record Coop was competing unfairly with the Cavages store on Main Street (in the University Plaza). Cavage felt the Coop was able to charge lower prices, due to the fact that it was on state property and aided by taxes, and hence, it was illegitimately drawing business away from his Main Street store. Cavage claimed that, in effect, he was funding his competition. As a result of this complaint. Vice President for Finance and Management Edward Doty issued a memorandum in October of 1975 to the President of SA, Michelle Smith, ordering the Coop to close its doors and shut down operations within two weeks. This memo asserted that the Coop was an illegal commercial enterprise undfer its present conditions. Moves? At this time, the University administration suggested that the Coop move to a location off-campus or resettle under the direction of the Faculty-Student Association (FSA). The members of the Coop were opposed to this suggestion, saying it would be too difficult and expensive, and that it would be defeating the purpose of a non-profit student coop to move off-campus. There was also reluctance in joining with the FSA, due to its “profitmaking urges,” according to Coop President Lenny Rollins. One month later, University President Robert Ketter overruled Doty’s resolution and allowed the Coop to reopen under new guidelines: the Coop was limited to a gross sale of $10,000 per month; it had to maintain an inventory of not more than approximately $20-22,000; and it had to issue monthly income statements to Ketter and the director of Norton (now Squire) Hall, James Gruber. Two lawsuits were then filed by Cavage, the first one charging Ketter with illegally reopening the Coop after limiting its sales to $10,000, and the second charging the Coop with unfair competition. Coop stays SA was named co-defendant in the lawsuit. Today, the Coop remains open under the guidance of SA while legal problems are being resolved. The attorneys handling the Coop-Cavage lawsuit are Lippes, who is defending SA, the State Attorney General defending Ketter, and Charles Sandler representing Carl Cavage. When asked about legal proceedings, Rollins stated, “They’re not doing too much as far as I’m concerned.” Rollins complained that the restriction of gross sales has forced the Coop to remain open for only a few short hours a day. He especially lamented the reduced selection of albums, resulting from the limitations on the inventory and the increasing costs of albums. The Coop is also presented from advertising. He claimed that several other state universities are awaiting decisions to open new coops, and acknowledged the possibility that this University’s trouble is having an adverse effect on those decisions. Lowest prices Rollins pointed out the advantages of using the Coop, claiming: the Coop is restricted to students of this University; all the workers in the Coop are volunteers; there is only an approximate 5 percent markup on albums; and the Coop has lower prices than any other record store in Buffalo. Student opinions of the Coop vary The low prices were praised, and several students strongly urged students here to boycott all Cavages stores. One student claimed he doesn’t go to the Coop anymore because “I just spend too much Most students money in there. I’d go broke.” however expressed annoyance at the short hours. One student also complained the help was very slow and that “It gets annoying when you’re in a hurry to get to class.” But he attributed the slowness to “the attempts of the staff to prevent thefts.” Other students said that although the Coop has lower prices than any record store in Buffalo, they could still pick up albums at a cheaper price at a record sale in a large department store. The Record Coop is open Monday-Friday (except Wednesday) from 12:15 to 2:30 p.m., and on Tuesday and Wednesday nights from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. John Ludtka, the Buffalo homicide detective in charge of presenting the Police Department’s evidence to a Grand Jury investigating the Richard Long murder case, withheld his knowledge of two potential witnesses to the car chase which proceeded the June 25 murder, according to Stanley A. Morse, the principle eyewitness in the The potential witnesses, two women, were in the same car as Louis Adagio, a witness who has testified before the Grand Jury. The Courier Express reported on October 13 that the two women “were known to a detective at the onset of the investigation, but he was overtired and neglected to initially file a report on them.” That detective has since been identified by Buffalo Homicide Chief Leo J. Donovan, and by Asst. District Attorney Timothy J. Drury as Ludtka. Asst. DA Drury did not learn of the two potential witnesses until Morse, acting on his own, contacted him by phone. The two women were known to Adagio, and Detective Ludtka for three months before the District Attorney’s office was informed that they were in the same auto from which Adagio witnessed the chase at Kenmore and Starin Avenues. Drury, when asked if he found it unusual that Ludtka told Morse before telling his boss in homicide (Donovan), replied: “I’m not sure if Ludtka told him, but then again, a lot of people learn things ahead of the Police Department.” Morse charged that “This evidence concealed by Detective Ludtka is just a tip of an iceberg of facts in the investigation that they don’t want to become public knowledge.” Ludtka has not been reprimanded for having withheld his knowledge of the potential witnesses for three months. Adagio himself is a former police officer and was employed five years ago on the same floor of police headquarters as Gary Atti, a defendant in the beating death of Long. Adagio worked in the Homicide Division under Ludtka and Atti was a member of the Narcotics Division. ‘I asked him’ That Patrolman Gary Atti, accused of participating in the beating death of Richard Long, Detective John Ludtka, and witness Louis Adagio, who formerly worked in Homicide under Ludtka knew each other before Long was killed n July is public information, but how far their relationship extended is not known. Donovan said, “They were in the cadet program at the same time.” Upon being asked if they were friends, he responded, “I doubt it. They were from two different ethnic groups. Adagio is a Puerto Rican from the East Side and Atti is a West Side Italian. They might have known each other, but I’m not positive.” Assistant DA Drury said that they knew each other “in passing' —continued on p«9« 2 �of Rick Long: recounts beating Mandler • Spectrum over the porch to see Long being dragged from his car and treturned to the back of the house to wake Sam Long.

Five men appeared. “They looked like an attack squad, said Morse. “They were screaming, ‘We'll teach you to cut us off, you motherfuc 1 er! We'll teach you to ciU us off in your little sports car again, you little motherfucker!' Morse recounted how the group ran by him and how for a second his eyes met those of the alleged Richard Atti, which he termed “Cold and fearless," as Atti brushed against him in his haste to participate in the beating. Morse described how “with nine men beating on such a small boy, they tore at each other like mad dogs to get their lickes in." Long's only defense was to roil into a ball to protect his face'and ” - Holding Long up until now was the alleged Joseph Cerace. Tired of this job, he pushed the alleged Richard Turchiareili and Richard Atti out of the way to beat him on his face and abdomen, which remember Richard “I Turchiareili well," said Morse, “because when he entered the beating, he immediately pounded Rick like a punching bag. with both hanils, both fists, right-left, one two three four punches in the abdomen and repeated punches to the face. Then someone else according to Morse, “his nose was a pool of blood, completely obliviated.” "1 knew how hard Rick had been kicked in the head and I did not believe that he would live. I have not witnessed death before and certainly not violent death, but I was sure then that I had witnessed one." Morse felt that the men ,intended to treat Rick within an inch of his life. Due to their numbers and apparently drunken condition the attackers became “wild dogs” and toward the end of the beating they really wanted to see him die, he commented. To accentuate this point he told of another witness on the street who watched in terror after Morse turned away. That witness recounted how allegedly, another man kneeled down beside Long, removed the boy’s clog, smashed him on the forehead at least two times and replaced it on his foot. finally Roommate Barden broke away and tore at the alleged Philip Gramaglia, loosening a “St. Michael Protect Us” medallion from his chest where it fell on the lawn. Barden pushed' and shoved the men away from Long, protecting him with his own body. A car screeched around as the men got in and drove away with their lights off.” The police arrived before the ambulance and took down the license number of the alleged Philip Grammaglia’s car, which Barden had noticed as the men drove away. The ambulance did arrive, with only drivers who knew nothing more than how to administer an ammonia sniff. Near to the departure of the officers, Morse then noticed Long’s smashed watch on the ground. Thinking it might contain prints, he notified the officers at the scene. One officer picked it up with his bare hand and slipped it into his pocket. The medallion with the initials “P.C.G. 311”got even poorer treatment. Upon seeing the medallion, another officer remarked, “Oh my God, not everyone gets one of these.” Another arrived with a towel to wrap the pieces of jewelry. Again getting their attention, Morse mentioned that the Porche had been forced open and that it might contain prints on the window and door. The car was never fingerprinted. ‘Viewpoints’ sought As part of an effort to become more responsive to our readers, The Spectrum would like to know what you would like to read, i.c., what issues you feel are most important.

He [Adagio] is married, he had a company car and wasn’t supposed to have tootsie with him.” Donovan continued that while he recently discovered that Ludtka knew of the two women who accompanied Louis Adagio that night, “1 took his word that he asked Adagio. He [Adagio] said that they saw and heard nothing.” Drury said that he knew nothing of the two women with Adagio the night of the chase until told by Morse three ahd a half weeks ago, but that once he found out, he also “took the word of Adagio that they knew nothing.” Drury thought that the withholding of witnesses was detriment'll to the investigation, saying “1 think it was a mistake.” He continued, “Homicide is given leeway in any shift, morning, afternoon, evening the men in homicide arc able to conduct the investigation entirely on their own.” ... Information damaging According to Morse, the two women were concealed by Ludtka because “the information they potentially carried was in his mind more damaging to one of the policemen involved in the case.” He went on, “I found out that there were two more young women in the car of Louis Adagio, the witness at Kenmore and Starin. When it was reported to Ludtka, he said he was aware there was at least one other young woman who was a witness and didn’t bother to inverview her because he was told by another person that she didn’t see anything. Ludtka dropped it at that.” Ludtka was unavailable for comment on his handling of the investigation. Drury felt that key witness Morse has geen “very accurate and very helpful” in supplying police with information about the case.

Said Griffin, “People and reporters can take just a slice of what you say and attach too much significance to what is, ultimately, only your opinion or impression.” Smith, one of President Carter’s five speechwriters, is a lawyer. After being Editor of his college newspaper, he tried his hand at professional writing, working for Texas Monthly, eventually landing a job iti the White House. “It’s just a matter of luck to be chosen a speechwriter,” said Smith. “The best education is a liberal arts background, but it’s not a goal that you can really work towards.” JimTl fix it ■ rrT ' '* -,, ■ Different issues Smith said the writers are “conscious, when writing, of hearing Carter speak it but it’s impossible to write like him. We do change the style, to fit Carter’s speech, and purposefully avoid the rhetoric that marked the Kennedy years. We are mainly concerned with style.” Writers also work on messages to Congress, which, Smith said, he likes better than apeechwriting because “they can be written the way they are supposed to be.” Smith stated that he enjoys his working for the President, claiming “there’s a lot variety in the material we work on. We move through different international issues every week.

This is the first time that mice, which have been spotted scurrying through student dorm rooms, have posed a problem according; to Director of Campus Police, Lee Griffin. Griffin, who said complaints about the mice are minimal, believed the mice are seeking shelter in the dorms because their homes have been distrubed by campus construction. “It’s not unusual for mice to seek shelter from the cold,” he said. Mouse traps and poison have been planted in strategic areas to combat the problem, according to Director of Environmental Health and Safety, Robert Hunt.'Hunt, who also agrees that the problem is new, said, “We have an exterminator who’s on Call, and when we have a complaint, we call him.” Although Hunt agreed that the use of poisons may cause mice to die while they are inside walls or other crawlspaces, he maintained that “the little carcases decompose and dehydrate in no time,” and that the odor would only be unpleasant for a couple of days. Hunt claimed (hat workers from the Environmental Health and Safety office are “putting out poison and toxic powder, but, we don’t seem to be winning the battle.” Hunt 2 3 pm i , v% '■ : . .

They are usually given a 2-3 week advance notices to write a speech, although they may be given as little as two days warning. Smith said it is their job to write up drafts from which Carter makes last-minute revisions. “It is not unusual,” Smith stated, “to end up making 10-12 drafts. No matter how early you begin preparing these, they are never done until the last minute when Carter reviews them.” He explained that, “None of the speechwriters has more importance or weight than the others; if a dispute arises, we send in different drafts to the President, and he chooses from among them.” How does one actually go about writing a speech? According to Smith, the writers must speak to the specialists on party line and to members of each of the departments after being given some idea of what the speech Will entail. “Each department has its own peculiar style of jargon which you begin to recognize,” Smith said. “Sometimes though, 1 cannot for the life of me figure out what they mean.” Writers are advised of the demographics of the population that will constitute the audience Carter is to address. “Nixon had an ideological array of speechwriters,” Smith said. “He would assign a certain speech to a writer of that background, but that is no longer done.” commented that the enlarged rodent which has affected both campuses, is a result of the cutback in rodent control by Erie County, and that many rodents are fleeing from the city. Last year, the Erie County Rodent Control problem, was a result *of manjifebpen entranceways through which mice and other,fcp'dents crawled. “From time to time,” Cudeck can be seen around the grassy areas close to 11*6-complex.” Cudeek said that long-term rodent treatment, as opposed to widespread use of traps and poisons, is not feasible. “The problem won’t big; corrected once and for all. It’s the kind of problem we can’t really solve,” he said. Other animals Cudeck, whose office is in the Spaulding Quad of the Ellicotf Comply, claimed he has.seen “larger holes,” through which; &flter small animals may enter the building. “We dorft know if they’re groundhogs or not, but I do knpiv that a number of small animals are hit- by cars-bn Millersport Highway,” he m.- said. Student complaint# have been the number one factor in determining .the actual size of the problem, said Cudeck. Howeveji, student reactions to mice sightings are varied. Patti Paxson. a student who killed three mice with a trap in her room said. “They’re a drag. I can hear them at night scurrying through the heaters, and I think we’re going to have this problem all year.v-Paxson, who lives in a triple room in Wilkeson Quad of the Ellicott Complex, described her first -experience with mice as “disgusting. I turned on.the light one night and there was the big, ugly mouse clinging onto a wall hanging,” she illustrated. Pink and cute “Long Paxson said that she is supplied with mouse traps by the hnvironmental Health and Safety Office and by other people' who don’t use them. One neighbor of hers, who “won’t kill a mouse for no reason,” said that the mouse she spotted in her room “didn’t look like a field, mouse. It was gray and furry with little pink ears and so cute I didn’t want to kill it.” Paxson feels something more could be done about the situation. “They (Housing) don’t have to live with them. We do.*’’ According to Director of Housing Maintenance, Cudeck, the infestation of mice in the Ellicott Complex “started during the summer,” and Many students are amazed at the way mice are able to get onto the tipper floors of the buildings. According to Hunt, mice crawl up the hollow pipe chases in the walls anil' exit through small openings like the ones behind the radiators. “It happens every fall, but we didn't have a problem last year,” Hunt remarked. Bureau, which exterminated rodents in vacant buildings and taught people how to deal with rodents, was dissolved. The service was valuable and helped keep the rodent problem under control. Hunt maintained, “Rodent control is a community effort,” Hunt said. term treatment will have to involve interaction with the entire community. If we can get Erie County to reinstate it’s Rodent Control Bureau, we can work together to fight the battle.” Richard DeMott lectures in Moot It must seem at times that the writers whose work appears in these pages are obsessed with the preceding generation of college students and with comparing yesterday’s activism with today’s complacency. Tomorrow at 8 p.m. in the Law School’s Moot Court, the cultural question of students in the ’60’s and ’70’s will be raised once more by noted writer and critic Benjamin DeMott. His presentation is the James Fenton Lecture, usually the University’s most prestigious intellectual event. DeMott brings with him a long list of credentials. Currently a professor of English at Amherst College, DeMott writes a regular column in the Atlantic and has contributed articles, columns, essays and book reviews to Harper's , the New Republic , the New York Review the New York Times Book Review, among other journals. He has published two novels and four collections of essays, the most recent of which is Surviving in the Seventies.

Page three �Summer study in Quebec by Cindy Dietz Spectrum Staff Writer A summer study program at Laval University, designed to teach I Tench and French culture, is being sponsored by UB’s French Department Director of Undergraduate Studies, Pierre Aubery. (.aval, the oldest French speaking university in North America, is located in Quebec City and offers a program which consists of five hours of daily instruction, including one hour of lab a day, and field trips to areas of interest in and around Quebec. According to Aubery. no prerequisites are required for participation in the program. “A student can go there cold,” he said. Tests are administered to students in an attempt to determine which of eight levels (ranging from beginner to advanced) of study would best serve the individual. According to Aubery, the six week “total immersion” program is unique because it not only offers students a chance to leant French but enlightens them to one of the most exciting places in Canada and North America today, Quebec. The cost of spending a summer which combines travel with academics is cheaper in comparison to a trip to Europe, Aubery said. He claimed there is less chance of experiencing a cultural shock, since home is only a few hours away and phone calls are "Those occurring Quebec. movement in French-Canadians who don’t speak English are being ignored, so they're forced to learn the language,” she said. Martin described some of the highlights of her summer. "On weekends we went to places like Montreal and saw ‘Man and His World,’ which was part of Expo ’67,” she said. “We walked down St. Catherines Street where there were movie houses and shops and saw Vieux Montreal (Old Montreal) which is like Greenwich Village.” She said the sights were beautiful and she was impressed with the modern metro system and a playground called “Le Ronde.” At St. Jean Port Joli the home of a Maritime Museum, she saw scale model ships and a movie on the Arctic. There, she stopped to watch woodcarvers whittle animal figurines in one of the many shops which are noted for work of this kind. Martin explained that she also attended picnics and a party at her -instructor’s farm at the end of her six week . stay. Unpressured and informal Martin was one of about 280 students participating in the Laval program from the United States and said she had a “great time” learning about the culture of Quebec and visiting patisseries (bakeries) and brasseries (bars) where folk songs were sung and spoons were played. In describing Laval she said, “The campus was gorgeous, with tunnels built under it because of the snow they get.” She remarked that her class was small and her instructor was enjoyable. “He didn’t make you feel dumb if you didnlt know a word,” she said. “It was very unpressured and informal.” At first, she had difficulty understanding the French accent because it differed from the accent she was used to in college, but she claimed she now likes the French Canadian accent better than the Parisian accent. Aubery admitted the accent is a little different from that heard in France, relatively cheap. Aubery, who taught summer school at Laval in I960, said he is looking forward to organizing a group to go to Quebec. He plans to hire a Resident Director to assist students during their stay and help integrate what they learn in French Quebec by offering weekly seminars. Last year, this University cancelled the proposed summer program due to budgetary problems. “Vice President Bunn cancelled the program along with other new and untested programs,” Aubery said. This year the program has the support of the Faculty of Arts and Letters and the French Department. Eight credits can be earned by participating in the maintaining it is like comparing an American program. Southern accent to the New England accent. Forced to learn In the spring, Professor Aubery will offer a Rona Martin, a UB student who went to Laval course entitled “Literature and Society in Quebec last year on her own,, said the most valuable part of Today,” concerning problems facing Quebec, and her experience was “being submerged in French 24 will include reading from French and English novels. hours a day.

Other incidents, though not as well documented, are equally intriguing. On April 24, 1976, the KMT Consul General in New York City, Kung-Chuan Hsia, spoke at Cornell University. Questions to Hsia were written on cards, with the questioners signature required. When a student asked that questions be opened to the floor, he was evicted from the meeting.

Since 1951 pinball has been illegal in the City of Buffalo. A pinball scandal occurred in 1951 and prompted the City Council to outlaw the game. In that year, thirteen people were indicted on charges of conspiracy, extortion, bribery and taking of unlawful fees, stemming from their involvement with pinball. Among the thirteeen indicted were four City Councilmen, the Deputy Police Commissioner and three Police Captains. Since shortly after the indictments, the City’s regulatory ordinances have defined a pinball machine as “a gambling device.” Alan Dreuder, one of the owners of Wings and Things, said he didn’t think the law would be enforced. He didn’t receive any public complaints about the machines, but a local woman complained to the police. According to Kreuder, he was told to remove the machines, and was ready to do so, when the vice squad came, the same day the warning was issued. ‘Misconceptions ans stupidity’ The Buffalo Police Department wants pinball to remain illegal, will continue to enforce the law until it’s changed, according to Captain Kenneth P. Kennedy, commander of the vice squad. He claims that it would be very easy to use the machines for gambling, and if they were legal.

Is it possible to appeal to the faculties of this med-student, Richard Grazi, to explore,the reality of the oppression I experience as a woman? Here are some of the facts: if one manages to escape role casting in the home, the first thing our education system does is clarify the proper place of the respective sexes, if not directly through the instructors, via textbooks. The majority of women are prepared from infancy to become mothers. The majority of men are prepared to become bread winners. Next, the media depicts women as joyful attenders to their mundane job, i.e., singing, “Wake up your wood” while you dust. Dick Grazi states in his letter, “The historically ‘’"ferior status’ of women was imposed by women on themselves as much as it was imposed by men.” I just don’t know about that, and wonder how Dick found out. Women are not given any historical models from which we might begin to understand the plight of women in society. All accounts of history I’ve ever read have only presented the male prospective of what came down. They all left women out. Sure, we all learn about a few famous women, but what were the masses doing? To find out I’m told I should take a “special” history course. Just as men neglected to put us in the books, there is now no sign of the administration recognizing the need to integrate our existence into every course. A few things 1 did manage to pick up; the “divine right” of kings in fuedal times was not imposed by the queen. Also, the male-dominated medical profession has often mysticized and mislead women about their own bodies. At the same time black women were slaving in the fields and giving birth without missing a stroke of the hoe, upper-class white women were being pampered, treated as sickly, and assured of the need for them to stay in bed while pregnant by their well-paid doctors. Women have often been presented with fragile doll-like images to model their behavior after. We are constantly being assured of our need for protection. Meanwhile, the fashion world continually provides us with clothes that minimize our ability to defend ourselves and maximize our need for protection. Mr. Dick also makes reference to the following insight of. his, “women, discrimination aside, have always enjoyed the same benefits as their male counterparts.” The casualness with which he drops ... those words, “discrimination aside” leaves me wondering why he wrote the letter. I love a little idealism myself, but affirmative action is only a token of the realistic steps which must be taken to repair the damage of that discrimination. If he is referring to the land of equal opportunity we find at college, there isn’t much point speaking to him. Fortunately, there are a few women with the strength to pursue a profession despite the social stigmatisms. But this is not enough. Our lack of understanding alleviating the pressures on us to accept our traditional role is not due to lack of intelligence or need. It is a result of too few places to look for encouragement and too little practice in trusting the validity of our own feelings. Grazi makes some nebulous implication that women have an equal share in university faculty positions. I can only suggest that the heavy load on this med-student limits his interactions with reality. The statistics for this University according to the fall 1976 EE06 report are: 8.25 percent female tenure faculty; 7.14 percent female on-track non-tenure faculty; 3.64 percent non-tenure female faculty. That leaves us with a total of 19.03 percent female faculty. Finally, I would like to say that it is unfortunate that Dick’s particular case may be representative of a widespread neurosis. I hope it is not of an unalterable sort. As women are refusing, in increasing numbers, to ignore our inferior position, Dick will also have to face the fact that change and its administrative facilitation are imminent. Colette Carse Well-to-do white majority Guest Opinion ‘Spying*? For what? Every Chinese student Literature'. / know ‘Communist has read something about I am~a “KMT" by Ronney Chih A Graduate Student On Friday, October 28, there was an article in The Spectrum, “Chinese Student Association Charges KMT Spying" written by Harvey Shapiro. I and most other Chinese students felt that it is a big irresponsible lie. Besides taking legal actions, 1 believe that this is time for me to defend ourselves publicly. The reason why I have to speak out is not just to defend “KMT,” but to clarify the reputation of all Chinese students, i don’t want people to think that “Chinese students are spying, fighting each other, causing troubles. . etc., just because one or two of us want to make it sound so. y The points I want to make are: . 1. CSA did not charge “KMT” It is amazing that Shapiro, as a staff writer of The Spectrum, could use that title for his article, just because two students said so with nothing to back it up. It is not forgiveable. Certainly, the President of CSA denied this charge at once. The charge has nothing to do with CSA. (CSA has about 400 members.) - 2. What is “KMT It is essential to know what is “KMT” and who are the “KMT’s before we can clarify those charges. (I will try to make it is simple and as subjective as possible.) KuoMinTang The Chinese Nationalist Party, Kuo means nation, Min means people, and Tang means party. It is a political party for China and the Chinese. It is equivalent to the Democratic or the Republican party here. “KMT” was usually by Communist to erase and then to distort the meaning and purposes of this party. Some of the students from Taiwan, the Republic of China are members of the Nationist party. We have no missions here in a foreign country. Like most other Chinese students, we just want to learn some new knowledge, to have friends and to know this country. We are - - To the Editor Why don’t you be a nurse? Why don’t you be a secretary? Or how about becoming an elementary schoolteacher? Yes, these questions sound familiar if you are a woman. Yet, if these same questions are put to a man seeking career guidance, then they pose a threat to the man’s virility, his “male status.” The only roles that are frequently afforded to women place them into passive and, sometimes, sexually dominated positions. This mentality runs through every aspect of our male dominated culture. In The Spectrum of 10/26, Richard Grazi, med. ’81, states that while blacks have been the victims of “erstwhile injustice,” “the same cannot be said when the issue turns to women.” Mr. Grazi, does a human have to be subjugated to slavery for his or her existence to be deemed “erstwhile injustice?” Or is it true that the oppression that is dealt to one group of people by another becomes any less real when there exists another minority whose oppression has been more “erstwhile?” Does the genocide committed by the U.S. on the Indian population make the black experience in America any less unimportant? Mr. Grazi says that women themselves have imposed an “historically inferior statiis” upon themselves and that they therefore are as much to blame for their discrimination as the men are. Does this mean that women had to fight themselves to gain the right to vote? Or does this mean that women have maintained their own “inferior status” in order to pay themselves lower wages than a man is paid? Because all this can mean is that poor women undoubtedly do not want the right to have free abortions. It all seems to point to some sort of fetish for self-discrimination. But the crux of Mr. Grazi’s argument seems to rest on the assertion that reverse discrimination does actually exist. For he says that even if an institution must impose a policy of reverse discrimination in order to do away with discrimination of a minority then the institution is justified in doing so. But the truth is that affirmative action programs do not discriminate against the majority. The well-to-do white male is still the majority in our society, as well as in our professional schools. To believe that Mr. Grazi and his attack on Ms. Lapidus are correct is to fail to see the facts and conditions that exist in this country. Anthony Amplo Charles Rachlis Paul Friedman Extremely had taste To the Editor Your Halloween front page design left much to be desired tact! To degrade an individual, be he the President of the United States or not, in such a fashion is to give vent to your prejudices. If a picture had appeared on campus, exposing the stereotyped Jews or the stereotyped blacks supposed “characteristics,” however true or false, they might be in that specific case. The Spectrum would rightly have been one of the first in the - vanguard to decry this act of stupidity. Yet you yourselves are guilty of reducing a respectable, nationally-known figure to the ‘Southern White’ stereotype. I repeat, to poke fun at a person because of his facial features or patterns of speech is derogatory, naive, and in extremely bad taste. I suggest that The Spectrum revalue its position or become more consistent in its present policies. JEN Franclemont Suuuch garbage To the Editor I was very annoyed when on Friday, October 28th, 1 opened the copy of The Spectrum and saw the “nonsense” written underneath the ad for Tuesday’s Chicago concert. Since the Prodigal Sun comes out only once a week, 1 would think they would have the intelligence not to print such garbage. The author of the advertisement made a vicious attack on the group for no reason. First the comment was made that if you want good jazz/rock you should get the first Blood, Sweat and Tears album? Why is this Ms. Komansky and staff because it doesn’t have any well known 45’s (a definite no-no for “cool” record reviewers) and - because it's supposedly progressive?? Why not B.S A T, 2,3, or 4?? Too commercial for ya?? Also, the caption stated that at $6.50 and $7.50 the tickets were too expensive. I’d like you to show me one group today who doesn’t charge those prices. The only exceptions are the people like David and if Bromberg, who get booked into Clark Gym Chicago can sell out the Memorial Aud, how could they possibly play Clark Gym?? This was just a vicious attack, plain and simple, and I don’t even know why it was printed. As editor for music, Ms. Komansky should use more taste. If Chicago is “too tenny-bopper” for college crowds why even print the picture to begin with?? - - ordinary students. 3. Who are the ones who charge us Mong-Heng Tan and Peter Tuen, they are two very “active” students. One of them was the President of CSA, who just resigned because people wanted to pitch him out for his dictatorship. The other one left a CSA meeting last Saturday, because of interrupting the meeting procedure. (Calling the police was mentioned by one of the CSA executives before he left.) They wrote articles in The Spectrum before, charging the same thing. They are very active in Mao-Tse-Tung’s Thought studies, in bringing lecturers talking about Communism, and also in China Study Group (Communist China’s propaganda as I understand). They are students with unusually strong political stands. They cannot in any way - represent Chinese students. - - 4. Who are we (Chinese students) I, like most other Chinese students, came here to study, not for political reasons. We never thought about writing anything here. You might never have heard of our names unless knowing us even in many cases with personally. We can get along very well different political beliefs. We care and talk about politics, but not in a crazy way. We do not want to cause troubles. We are not ‘spying’ upon each other. That is us. Please don’t be confused. - 5. Yes ‘Communist literature available' This is the last paragraph of Shapiro’s article. Isn’t it a wise way for propaganda? When students go abroad to study from the Republic of China, our government does not forbid us to read Communist propaganda, nor to watch their movies. It would be foolish to forbid anything. On the contrary, we are encouraged to do so, to compare and to think. Because our government believes that we are mature human beings, who could and should make our own choices about anything. Every Chinese student I know has read something about “Communist literature.” We discuss it freely. Don’t you think it is ridiculous that Shapiro could believe people are spying other’s reading material, here in this free country? 6. Ask somebody There are students from the Republic of China, who are permanent residents or citizens of U.S.A. At least, they can “talk freely.” So ask somebody! Please! There is nothing more to say, except demanded from those would should.

Wednesday, 2 November 1977 �Workshops tackle problems by Gene H. Schwall Spectrum Staff Writer has to offer. The program will begin with a general meeting which will explain the four workshops being offered. Students will have the chance to attend any two of the Workshops which are entitled Coping with Commuting, Gripes and Vegetate Grievances, or Participate, and Struggling with Stress. “Hopefully, these four workshops will cover any problems that a freshman at this University is faced with,” said one of the orientation workers. Orientation ’77 is sponsoring a one night program, Thursday, entitled Transition ’77. The program, geered towards freshmen, is a part of ongoing orientation. The orientation staff views orientation as an ongoing process, rather than as an event, according to a spokesman. The staff also believes that the freshmen now have a better idea of what they want and need from this University than they did during Coping with Commuting the summer. The,' program is The first workshop. Coping designed to reacquaint them with with Commuting, will start with a the opportunities this University skit, and will discuss the problems Board. The workshop is designed for students and representatives to get together and work out solutions to problems. Vegetate or Participate will give specific ideas on how to get involved in this University. There will be representatives from Inter-Residence Council. Student Association (SA), and Sub Board. After a ten minute introductory session, everyone will split up and get a chance to meet with a student representative, and find out about a specific activity. Struggling with Stress is designed as a stress management workshop. Program Consultant for Orientation Roxy Pomeroy said, “Since most people do not know what stress is, nor the symptoms, this workshop will identify signs of stress, and will propose relaxation exercises and that commuters face, such as family versus school demands, and meeting people, transportation and parking problems. Afterwards, there will be a discusssion period, and the audience will be asked to participate, and hopefully, will bring up possible solutions to commuter problems. Gripes and Grievances will give students an opportunity to bring up specific problems with which they are faced.

McKay Power Plant at this University has had an intricate heating system capable of running on gas, oil or coal. “It’s probably the only institution in New York State that has this capacity,” said David Thoads, Assistant to the Director of the Power Plant. “Before Ford’s proposal to cut gas consumption last year we burned gas, oil and mainly, coal, said Rhoads. “In the third week of January, Jerry Miller, an official at National Fuel Gas called us and requested an immediate halt to any gas usuage, so they wouldn’t be forced to reduce the amount of fuel piped into city customers.” “We said we’d switch fuels the next day,” recalled Rhoads, “but they said to do it that night. It was late on a Sunday.” He added, “We’ve decided to desist most of our gas consumption this year, and burn coal almost entirely. Coal is definitely cheaper in the cold winter months, but gas is journey. The coal bunker and silos together maintain a maximum storage capacity of 500 tons. more efficient at this time of year.” Crawl in the boiler Five boilers heat water with gas, oil or coal, producing steam to buildings. heat campus Numbers 1 and 2 are coal and gas boilers, 3 and 4 are coal, 5 is gas and oil. The gas in boilers 1 and 2 is merely a booster, used when starting the coal boiler. To ignite boilers 3 and 4, a workman must crawl into them, using matches, wood and paper, similar to lighting a fireplace. “It’s a very inefficient system,” grimaced Rhoads. Since the walls are water-cooled by tubes on all sides of the building, the power plant is a very cool building. Workers seem to enjoy their jobs partially due this fact. Five days a week, massive coal trucks bring coal into the garage. The coal is dumped through holes in the garage floor to a conveyor belt that speeds it to the two &los on Winspear Avenue. From the silos, the coal races to the huge coal bunker tanks on the ceiling, frantically panting from its Underground heat A coal “larry” transfers the coal from the bunker to one of the four coal-burning boilers. Coal enters through the front of the boiler on a grate situated on a conveyor belt, moving “to the rear of the bus.” Even if gas is strictly used, “there must always be coal on the grate, so that it doesn’t burn up,” said Thoads, red-faced from the boiler heat. Coal is burned to supply energy for heating water. The water is then converted to steam by a steam header pipe and sent to the basement, and finally underground to all of the buildings. The system is quite similar to the digestive process. After coal is burned, it is converted into ashes which are hauled away, and used for road and landfills. resurfacing to According Wayne Mullins, Senior Stationery Engineer at the Heating Plant, someday the ashes will be used for fuel. Recycled H20 125 pounds of pressue are continuously distributed through the steam header pipe. Since most buildings require only 15 to 20 pounds, reducing valves are required in each building to lower the initial pressure to a workable level. “125 pounds would kill anyone within the vicinity of a radiator," said Mullins. “If a building needs more or less heat, the steam can be sent out faster or slower, respectively, than is normally required, but always at —Widzinskl 125 pounds pressure,” he added, “over 2,000,000 pounds of steam are used on a cold winter day, or in any season in Buffalo for that matter.” Drastic money savings are realized with return lines that send steam in the form of resuable water, from campus buildings back to a tank in the heating plant. “93 percent of the water can be reused in a 24 hour cycle,” claimed Mullins. Steam is condensed in each building and arrives in the power plant at 150 degrees fahrenheit. Tire water is heated to 230 1 Submarines Available at your Neighborhood Mr. Donut!!

Electric Amherst Three 40,000-gallon oil tanks on the side of the power plant house oil needed for the last boiler. Connected to the same header steam pipe as the other four, number five is used only in emergencies. There were several such emergencies last year claimed Mullins. Steam is pumped through the oil burner to get the oil into an atomized, mistlike state. This makes it easier to burn and allows the steam to flow easily through a small orifice, enabling it to be burned. This produces the same effect as an aerosol can spray. Gas in boiler number five is very easily burned, being originally in a state which promotes combustion. The Main Street campus is heated by steam because of its The Amherst age. campus, however, relies on solely electricity. Wednesday, 2 November 1977 . The Spectrum .

He said there have been no repeat offenders in the history of the court, claiming, “Students are judging students, and 1 think'by that nature it’s a more meaningful decision.” Lou Masur, Chief Justice and the only returning member of SWJ, is presently completing orientation of the new SWJ members appointed by SA President Dennis Delia and hopes to get business underway this week. There are about thirteen to fifteen cases pending. This year’s SWJ Association Justices are Scott Epstein, Paula Katz, Michele Seidner, Tom Horbst, Mary Ruocco, Mike Ekstract, David Rigelski, and Richard Birdsall. Each was screened and presented with hypothetical situations to best their reasoning abilities. DoUman believes that the people involved with SWJ, whether as defendants or judges, are in a valuable learning situation. ‘The SWJ this year will be an extremely promising group of individuals dedicated to insuring the due process of students,” said Masur. “They are helping to preserve the balance of the University community.” United Way if a student is charged with a crime he has the right to counsel Attention humans “Harmony With Nature: The Coexistence Equation” will be held this Saturday: “The first time ever for a conference of this nature in Buffalo,” says Mark Ginsberg.

This Is just one incident of many that are plaguing the University. Of the 45 fire alarms that were turned in between January and September of this year, 39 were false, according to Director of University Police, Lee Griffin. All of the fire alarms on campus are connected to the University Police Headquarters on Millersport Highway. If the alarm is from the Main Street Campus, the Buffalo Fire Department will respond immediately. If the alarm is called in from the Amherst Campus, University Police will verify the alarm before calling in the Fire Department. If there is a fire in a residence area, the Resident Advisors can also call in the Fire Department. The reason for this, said Griffin, is ‘The Amherst Campus is served by the all-volunteer Getzville Fire Department. The frequency of false alarms on the Amherst Campus is so great that they cannot respond to every call that they receive.” Griffin said that there was a period when there were over 70 false alarms in one month. A new fire alarm system was installed in all of the Main Street dormitory buildings according to Director of Environmental Health and Safety, Bob Hunt. The new system was installed because old systems “did not conform with State codes,” said Hunt. Some of the changes made included the addition of more heat detectors, smoke detectors, and pull stations. In order to conform with the present State codes, “Smoke barrier doors, standpine sytems, and sprinkler systems have been installed,” according to Hunt. Another addition to the fire alarm system is the installation of enunciator panels. These panels will indicate exactly where in a building a fire alarm was turned in. The new system, which was being tested during the week of October 17, is, according to Hunt, “almost operational.” FARGO CAFETERIA—AMHERST CAMPUS United Way Carnival: Sponsored by College H, November 4 at the student club at the Ellicott Complex from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. Auctions, game prizes and a bake sale.

She wears a turban. 339 Tuesday afternoons, emits the peculiar Hall Squire droning chants of students engaged in a weekly class of Kundalini Yoga and Meditation. Pupils at each session of this two-credit course offered by the University replace desks with small rugs and mats. Everyone remains barefoot during the meeting. Sets of postures called Kriyas and various breathing exercises are practiced. (Pranayama) Teacher of the class Sat Kaur Khalsa expresses that through the use of these elements ofKundalini Yoga, one is able to “channel the infinite energy that surrounds us order to expand one’s in awareness and physical capacity to full human potential.” Kundalini is but one form of Yoga. Yogi Nitin Kumar, in his book Aerobics and Yoga describes other types of Yoga: Hatha, Kharma, Gnana, Bhakti and Raja as stages of achieving control of mind and body in order to pin a level of superconsciousness. Khalsa states that in comparison, Kundalini is a more intense Yoga. “It works more quickly physically and in expansion of awareness.” But she stresses that no one except the individual can raise the consciousness for himself. Cool us out the breath is Utilizing important in achieving this goal. “The deeper we breathe, the more energy units (prana) in the atmosphere we take in,” says Khalsa. Different breaths energize or charge us up, balance emotional states or cool us out. This is done by changes and rapidity of breath alternating right and left sides of the body, through right and left sides of the nose," she explains. Khalsa teaches three classes here, two classes at Buffalo State College and two at Canisius College. In the Spring, she will teach a course offered by Women’s Studies College dealing with such topics as healing, herbs and acupuncture. Four nights a week, instruction is given at the Ashram where Khalsa lives.

Two opponents “The officials made the difference today,” said Esposito. “The players (Buffalo’s) felt like they were battling against two opponents the officials and Binghamton.” The Bulls played well against Albany but still came out on the losing side. Buffalo scored first at 7:46, when Jim Rudolph banged — S.A. has two positions now open. Senate Parlimentarian and Recording Secretary home Mark Karrer’s rebound from out in front of the net. U6 then had trouble getting the ball out of its own end and Marzalkowski, who played a strong game, had to make a couple of saves to prevent the Great Danes from knotting the score. Albany kept on applying pressure and Stan Gage scored off a crossing play to give the Danes a 1- tie. For the next 30 minutes, play was confined to the mid-field area as both teams played well defensively until Albany broke through to score at 38:53. Kevin Leary received a pass from Carlos Arango and sent a low strike past the diving Marszalkowski to provide the Great Danes with a 2- edge. Buffalo and Albany both played wide-open, end-to-end soccer in the second half, but neither team could score as the goaltending and defense rose up to the occasion. Albany had some good rushes broken up by the strong play of Buffalo fullbacks Allan, Steve Katz, Alan Derner and Rick Bowditch. Likewise, the Albany defense broke up several of the Bulls’ attempts as Buffalo desperately tried to tie the score. The Bulls appjied pressure late in the game but just could not get the ball to go into the Albany net Danny Bilka’s hard boot hit the goalpost and his subsequent rebound shot was stopped by Alberto goaltender Albany Buffalo from Giordano who kept the game’s scoring during remaining minute of play. No breaks “We just couldn’t put it in,” explained Allan, who has been Buffalo’s most consistent player. “The breaks just didn’t come,” stated teammate Derner. Esposito felt that his team played a good game. “You have nothing to be ashamed of,” he said afterwards to his players as they filed into the locker room. Quartey, a Buffalo Ramsey forward agreed. “The game could have gone either way,” he said. The Bulls have one game left at Brockport on Saturday. “This season has been disappointing,” stated Esposito. “We were playing well and just flattened out during the latter half of the season,” he added. He doesn’t expect his team receive to any post-season tournament bids but hopes it can pull an upset against Brockport. “I don’t want to go through two losing seasons in a row,” he slated.

Brockport heats UB, Harriers improving m: ■k, On Wednesday, October 26, the cross country Bulls hosted a determined Brockport squad, and came away with av2?-32 loss. Brockport placed its runners in the 1-2-4-7-9 positions to come away with the victory. UB, however, was able to place its scorers in the 3-5-6-8-19 spots to make it a close race. Mike Fischer, once again, was first in for the Bulls with a time of 25:34. He was followed by John Ryerson (fifth) at 25:59, and Bruce Goldstein (sixth) at 26:08. Tim Sheehan was eighth in 26:25 and Tony Markut closed the scoring with a tenth place, 26:30 performance. Overall, the Bulls placed their scorers within 56 seconds of one another, and that is an improvement. According to coach Walter Gantz, “Success depends on a team’s ability to get its runners inqUiokly, and close to one another. Although we lost, I am still pleased with the performance of the team.” nB» I|eb| >; £Wv M" .>. • :mBL . TSfc.* •* SB®; Adverse effect .tr'r This meet closed out the Bulls’ dual meet schedule and left the harriers with a 4-9 mark. Several factors adversely affected the Bulls’ performance this year. The team is young, with two or threie freshman in the five top scorers for most meets. The team was also plagued by injuries and illness, most notably to/vcterans John Ryerson and Tom Pitchford. Abo, several meets were decided by a few pdthtsC The team hopes that the 4-9 record will be improved next year, as the team WTO have more experience. On Saturday, the Bulb ran in Delaware Park at the Ganisius Invitational. In the junior varsity race, the Bulls were led by Gene Schwall (24:30), Tom Pitchford (25:17), Paul Allaire (23:27), Joe O’Connell (26:33) and John Ward (27:35). They were quickly followed by Rbb Schaefer (27:43) and Glen Heany (28:03j). The Bulb fared well in this race, but wxj£ overshadowed by an amazing show of depth by Allegheny College, which captured the team *• Commun?*/ trophy. Seventh place Niagara could muster and it became increasingly difficult for r mb, jk Niagara to advance the ball past their own 2S-yard line. The Bulls then gained possession of the ball and initiated a drive which was to last up to the second half. It seemed there was little the defending Niagara side could do to thwart the UB attack. Several times the Bulls marched to within five yards of scoring but were pushed back by a desperation goal-line stance. Buffalo’s efforts finally paid off when fly-half Brian Frazier passed the ball out to forward Bernie Schmieder, who ran in for UB’s first try of the day. The conversion kick was missed and UB went ahead 4-0 at the half. *s Improved scram Pinball . . . would rule out close supervision of legalized machines.

Seiden Spectrum Staff Writer The Greek System is not a new birth control method marketed by Trojan, but rather a system or organizations (fraternities and sororities) which has its origin in the spirit of ancient Greece. The Greeks are currently reappearing on this University’s campuses. Recognition of the Greek organizations here ended in 1971 as a result of a ban decreed by the SUNY Board of Trustees, and later enforced by University officials. However, late last year the ban was lifted, like football, the Greeks are returning. The essential elements involved in a successful return of the Greeks are twofold. First, the student body must understand, and want them, and second, the University administration must aprove of each fraternity and sorority as they seek access on campus. Fvidence of interest and enthusiasm in Greeks was displayed when, by invitation, some 26 fraternities and sororities came on campus September 9, and spent the entire day discussing their return. According to Assistant to the Vice President for Student Affairs, Khairy Kawi, who is charged with the task of coordinating and representing this Uninversity’s efforts, the conference was broken into two segments: the first part served as an information session, during components of the University spoke to the which various representatives and described what type of services are available to them (i.e., food service, housing); the second session consisted of the representative meeting with University officials where it was explained what the University could expect of frats, how they will be reviewed for approval, and what goals, purposes, and objectives the University Buffalo participation urged J.P.Stevensboycott underway located box eon by Karen Campbell S/u i trimi Shill Writer Reorganize Since I c )n3. the lax union, aided by the AFL-CIO Industrial Union Department, has been trying to organize the 85 Stevens mills but Stevens &oV*| i s \ Page two .

Co-rush Chairman Dan Scull> said the main reason that people do not gel involved in fiats is because they are never asked. He added that TKI was doing a lot ot asking Currently, the most active sorority on campus is Chi-Omega, it unlike all others now trying to reappear, has been active since Creeks left in 1971. The Chi-O's are currently housed at 40 Niagara Tails AC T\\l elleets io Dust in food Byssinoses. otherwise known as brown lime disease, is a crippling lung disorder cause by the prolonged breathing of cotton dust. The Noith Carolina Department of Labor has found that the cotton dust levels in one of the Stevens plants was almost three times as great as the peinnssable level under the Occupational Safely and Health Act standard (OSHA). At this level, as many as one in three of the exposed workers is likely to develop the disease. According to the workers, there is no offictaj break for lunch, and. no pay when the machines aie not operating; therefore, many workeis eat on the job. laying their food and drink in a layei ol cotton The NLRB ordered the Stevens directors to ichirc workers tired tin “union sympathies." will) backpay awards ot SI.3 million.

Pledging is the process by which one becomes a member of a fraternity or sorority. Pledging methods of old have been sharply criticized due to the physical nature of some of the requirements. Indications are, however, that the pledges of this Greek generation will not be involved in such things as three day steam showers, goldfish wallowing though may still have a campus flare. All the alumni present voiced then excitement about the re-start ot the chapter, and were anxious to help in any wy possible. Said one Ms .> loss A gr.at thing (.nolin.lv. bolstei times. opening At a recent alumni meeting of Tau Kappa Ppsilon, Kawi reviewed the University criteria that must be met by Greek groups seeking approval. Kawi said there is evidence of a social void on campus which could possibly be filled by the Greeks, but added that should not be their only function. In addition, he said the Greek groups should pursue an educational and civic mission as well, By achieving this, Kawi explained, the University feels that people become part of a tight knit group and tend to help each other. To this end, Kawi said, he felt each member would benefit academically. With respect to the civic duties, Kawi felt the groups should attempt to act responsibly because these type of projects get good press for the group and indirectly for the University and its community image.

Ketter, according to Kawi, made reference to several areas, but seemed to emphasize the favorable attitude he hoped the Greeks can bring to campus. He mentioned the “quality of life,” which, with the rebirth of the Greeks, Ketter seems to feel may improve. Contrary to expectations, Ketter remained for approximately an hour and a half after delivering his remarks, taking an active role in the discussion that insued. Among the topics discussed was the need for education of the University body concerning Greek rejuvination. One example of this eduaction occurred last week when Kawi, with the assistance of Pat Lovejoy, Student Association (SA) Director for Student Activities and the Greek group, staged “Greek Week.” The event started October 17 with an informational presentation by the Greeks, followed by the 10 A boycott against J.1’ Stevens & Co..

At a meeting held last Wednesday in Squire Hall, coordinatoi for the Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Worker's Union (ACTWU).

Two years ago, the Faculty Women’s Organization merged with the Caucus for Women’s Rights at the State University of New York (SUNY). OUW now has chapters at most SUNY schools. The Buffalo membership includes about three hundred women. “We're made up of faculty, professional staff, and civil service workers,” said Ellen McNamara. “We’re also open to students, but right now, there arc none involved.” Currently, the organization is involved in Title 9, a part of the civil rights act “which basically states that there shall be no discrimination on the basis of sex in the educational system," explained McNamara. “Whether or not there is discrimination at this University depends on which way you look at it." she felt. Lisa Snowden. Vice President of OUW. believes there is discrimination here. “There are no women in upper management levels, except in the fields that were traditionally tor women." she said. “The Nursing program has a female dean, hut there are no females in high positions in fields such as Engineering or Medicine." added McNamara The of the purpose organization is to represent all women, provide a vehicle for different issues and promote the equality of women, according to Snowden. OUW also provides other services. If someone has a specific issue they would like discussed, they can contact the group to sponsor a forum. The organization has already sponsored programs on the metric system and retirement and held a workshop on preparing for job interviews. "We try to have other University people who arc experts in their fields speak at each program." explained McNamara. “Also, it seemed that when acting positions opened in the academic level, the jobs were offered to men," continued Snowden. This summer, when the group met with President Ketter, they found that a woman was asked to lake over a top position but declined. The next person in line for that job was a man, Ketter at the lime. Complying with Title 9 The women also discussed Title with Kctter. “One of his responses was to allow us to have access to the Vice President's Reports,” Annual explained McNamara. “Keller also requested that each vice department president report on what had been done to comply with Title 9." OUW will begin reviewing these reports November. in “A complete evaluation of each unit in this University and how it complied with Title 9 during 1976 the Law Library." is tiled in One such held program 19 October was entitled “Perspectives on the National Women's Conference." 9 The speakers lor this program were three delegates who will represent New York Slate at the conlerencc to be held in Houston.

Hoyt, numerous other public officials and concerned citizens, famous architect Louis Sullivan’s Prudential Building will probably admit state tennants and attract bank capital necessary for the structure's renovation. Although the renovation movement originated in early 1975 when the Prudential Building was expected to go on the auction block in a foreclosure sale, it was not until this year that a coalition led by Assemblyman Hoyt and Buffalo Mayor Stanley M. Makowski produced favorable results. Letters from Hoyt to New York Governor Hugh Carey cleared up an earlier misunderstanding and left Hoyt confident of Carey’s attention and support. It seems that previously the Governor was operating under the assumption that the state was being asked to finance the renovation project itself. Hoyt is actually seeking “secure state tenancy of up to 30,000 square feet of office space to attract the necessary investment capital to make further improvements and to restore the building." Reach for the sky However, this is only the first step in the right direction. Further funding for renovation of one of the world’s first skyscrapers and a masterwork of American architect Louis Sullivan would be collected from various other sources including the U S. Department of the Interior, National HistoricBuilding grants, and Common Development grants. But the bulk of funds would necessarily come from bank loans which in turn require financial security. Carey is ncbt the only official that Hoyt has appealed to in his drive to save the Prudential Building. On being invited to visit Buffalo and tour the building, Senator Daniel Moynihan’s interest was aroused. Architecturally in the know, Moymhan has not only promised to move his own district office into the Prudential Building, but had personally urged Vice President Mondale to pledge his support to the project as he did yesterday in his visit to Buffalo. More help Last Wednesday, Fgan, Deputy John Commissioner of the State Office of General Services (OGS), joined the list of national figures to visit the city with special regard to the plight of the Prudential Building. While here, Lgan was quoted as saying that “the state would play its part.” When questioned further, he clarified that remark. “My personal presence in Buffalo indicates the governor’s interest in the building. The state’s part would be the rental of the building to house state agencies. And although the matter is still under review, I’m very optimistic.” If an affirmative decision to occupy the Prudential Building is made as expected this week, the fate of one of Buffalo’s many fine architectural structures will be a happy one. The precedent set may portend the same good fortune for other famous buildings in Buffalo facing a similar fate. Among other threatened landmarks, the Buffalo Post Office and the Darwm-Martin Complex are currently existing in a limbo of uncertainty. This University is playing its own part in the sage. The school is the present owner of the larger Martin house, designed by f rank Lloyd Wright.

Last summer’s mandate, changing the date to withdraw from courses without academic penalty from ten weeks after the beginning of the semester to six weeks, was apparently reached without any student input. “Students were forced into accepting this new policy despite the fact that we thought it was ridiculous,” said SA Lxecutive Vice President, Andy Lalonde. An R grade (officially withdrew) was given to students who dropped courses up to October 14 this semester. Atier that date, students must either continue in unwanted courses or risk a falling grade. SA Director of Academic Affairs, Bob Sinkewicz, is now in the process of composing a letter which will be sent to the (-'acuity Senate, concerning the R date. Sinkewicz, however, is not optimistic about changes in the University policy. He said, “This letter presents no guarantee of success and the taks will not be easy.” Whether or not action will be taken on and the task will not be easy.” Whether or not action will be taken on The Senate, in its study, cited three reasons for the policy change last spring: Academic Planning, General Planning, and the idea that an “R” gives a negative appearance on a student’s record when applying for graduate school.

Call for freedom To the Editor Beyer spoke in Haas Lounge last Thursday, ... '4, * * Judge Curtin did pot have release Bruce Beyer on his as wasj own recognizance. Jt Bruce himself said, a on gesture" tfte part of the judge, who is "magnificent to willing let him circulate Western New York to raise for support his call for freedom. The University community is strongly urged to write Judge Curtin to support that call. All letters should be addressed as follows; I Federal District Court Judge John Curtin c/o The Bruce Beyer Defense Committee to 117 West Main Street Avon, New York Perhpas the letter could go something like this To the Honorable Judge John Curtin Bruce Beyer has just completed a seven and a half year exile sentence; that you released him upon his return to Buffalo on his own recognizance is indeed a "magnificent gesture." The jail sentence dealt him for the assault charges stemming from the church sanctuary in 1968 was a severe three years. Bruce has already served more than twice that time. I would like to take this opportunity to express the issues related to the TA/(iA Advisory of the views our on recommendations Committee. In our view, a state of disorder has characterized the administration of TA/GAs at this University. In particular, we refer to the almost total lack of departmental policies concerning appointments, funding, work assignments, class size, renewals, etc.; non-compliance of departments with the existing University-wide policies; and, the absence of any existing the situation. mechanism to alter Consequently, we viewed the formation of the TA/GA Advisory Committee, though a much belated move, as the first step in the process of beginning to deal with the problems affecting TA/GAs. And since any real solution to TA/GA problems, in our view, is not possible without far reaching changes within the University, we chose to limit ourselves to creating the necessary conditions for such changes. The perspective of GSA becomes evident if the proposals we placed before the committee are examined. We sought the creation of the concept of a minimum assistantship level necessary to live and to pursue with full vigor one’s own academic program; but the minimum level of $3200 that we recommended is obviously far less than what one would need for acceptable living standards. We sought the formulation of defined departmental policies; but these were required of the departments by the Graduate School, even as early as in 1 973. We sought a formal role for graduate students in the and the departmental University governance processes; which any department or university that holds even a semblance of regard for students as an important entity within it would have instituted. ('■iven the minimal nature of our recommendations, it becomes important that all conclusions of the TA/GA Advisory Committee be accepted by the University administration, and steps be taken to implement the same beginning Spring 1978. In order to facilitate this we ask that the University-wide Standing Advisory Committee be constituted immediately. Concerning this Standing Committee, I would like to make two points: one, on the nature and Vol. 28, No. Wo u.ml lo Editor-in-Chief Books Campos City Composition Carol Bloom Carroll Mike Foreman Marcy Contributing Copy Andrea Rudner Paige Miller Brett Kline Feature Denise Stumpo Graphics . .

Your action would enable him to pursue a life interrupted nine years ago and would perhaps set a precedent for other men facing resistance related charges who turn themselves in in the future. Thank you very much. administration. A crucial issue that has surfaced up in the process of functioning of our committee is that ot the academic plan of the University. You are very well aware of the problems that existed within the Advisory Committee on the question of allocation and reallocation of resources in this case, the TA/GA lines, to various academic units. Obviously TA/GA allocations and reallocations cannot be inconsistent with the overall resource allocation based on the academic plan of the University, So, what is clearly recognized by all is the need lor an academic plan of the University, which only can adequately deal with the issue at hand. But the questions are, what is the University’s academic plan if there exists one, now. Or, whose academic plan will it be, if one is going to be formulated in the future? And what is the role of students and faculty in the creation of any such academic plan? The report of the President’s Committee on Academic Planning (better known as llull-Yearley Report I triggered off a vast amount of varied responses What have been the resultant conclusions? I think it is necessary that these issues are clarified and an acceptable academic plan for the University be publicly adopted at the earliest.

This happy twist of legal proceedings leaves more time to vrite those letters of support, to state that Bruce was right ro resist induction into an unjust war, and to confirm that (respective of any right or wrongdoing in that church on that day in August, 1968, he has spent the last seven and a half years of his life in exile and should, under no circumstances, spend three more years in jail. 'The violence that day hurt more than it helped the Buffalo anti war movement,” Bruce said on Thursday. ;■£ He called for unconditional, universal amnesty for all wh.- evaded resisted &r deserted the war in Vietnam, a call that ncludes upgrading the discharges of more than 790,000 rom less-than honorable to honorable Why didn't Amelficans see," Bruce asked, proceeding to aa a more or less Marxist explanation of Vietnam.

The last few months of work within the TA/GA Advisory Committee has shown, in our view, the need and usefulness of larger student participation. We feel that the administrative attitude shown in the formation of TA/CiA Advisory Committee should change; and more equitable participation for students should be ensured in the new Standing Committee to be constituted. As for the faculty representation, we feel that faculty members not having administrative roles within the University should be appointed. In the TA (IA Advisory only departmental Committee. chairpersons and Deans of Faculties were included to represent the faculty. And in our view they form different levels of the University administration and they could very well represent the same. However, we believe it is important that the due role of faculty be the recognized by large at University \ \ ( I annI mo, I I ho woman ended iho conxersalion m got She thank something. don'l know w hal thanked her.

For the first time in four years at this University, The Speetrum is functioning as a relevant political voice here. Yet one problem persists. To do such a good job. the editors must forego all marijuana smoking during the day to meet their deadlines. Which brings me to another problem; the apparant lack of good places to smoke pot on the new Amherst Campus. Now is the time to plan good locations to get high during the day! Perhaps if everyone were high there would be no hassles on campus, it is obvious they planned the Amherst Campus to eliminate pot smoking.

It concerns the Committee to Reverse the Bakke Decision, and their method of argumentation. They invoke the warcry of racism and use emotionalist tactics to support their stands. By emotionalist tactics I mean a strategy that preys on the hatreds and fears of the reader, rather than discussing the facts in a reasonable manner. For instance. The Committee opens its argument with "The racist mentality . . ." and proceeds to draw a faulty analogs between the case at hand and the American Na/i Parly and the Klit klux klan. Is it possible that the issue concerns itself not with racism, but with the belief that an individual is evaluated according to personal merit? Or can’t the Committee resist an opportunity It) distort the facts and assume that if you support Bakke you are attending the next cross-burning ceremony? The if-you-donT-agree-wiih-me-you're-a-racist ideology is an extremely fallacious attempt at justifying oneself. The Committee's position about the revision of our educational system was absolutely correct true equality can exist only when we all get the same start. But even if Inequality rears its ugly head today, is it really in the interest of Fqualily to accept a black person ahead of a white person just by virtue of his color'.’ I ven if they both come from the same school anti neighborhood? Vour primitive eye-for-an-eye philosophy of egalitarianism seems quite inconsistent. The Committee's contention that quotas arc "necessary devices "necessary devices?"! I that we must defend" left me fuming. question your concept of necessity. Wouldn't it be a far more worthwhile investment of your lime if you promoted application of minority students to professional schools'’ Perhaps there has developed in minority groups a defeatist attitude, spurred on by bellyaching pseudo-liberals who dwell on the difficulties themselves, and not on rational ways to overcome those difficulties. In other words, it you drum the existence of inequalities into the ears of a minority group, they feel that further education Ls futile, and never bother applying to medical or law schools. If the Committee were to embark on a full-scale program that encouraged minority students to apply to professional schools, a larger pool of minority applicants would be available, and the number of i/ualitieJ minority applicants would be greater. No one can complain if a qualified minority student is accepted in med school; the problem arises when a group of applicants is small, and admissions committees must choose people from that small group even if they aren't all qualified. So why doesn't the Committee get off its soapbox and start doing something meaningful for the community as a whole, and not just a particular segment ol it? Another constructive tactic would he to lobby or in some w.iy (say, through publicity) put pressure on professional schools to increase the number of places available in their classes.

The Spectrum . Page nine �I like Amherst Truth about IRCB To the Editor. To Ike Editor: Thin it in response to The Spectrum editorial "Mtsghringt About IRC.** To clarify an important point, the Inter-Residence Council Businesses (IRCB) is responsible for refrigerator rentals and travel service. The Inter-Residence Council (IRC) has nothing to do with these services. The Spectrum it correct in assuming “that uncertainty over privately owned refrigerators in dorms might induce some residents to rent from yet.” (IRCB). Many students did not want to put in (he time and money to fix their refrigerator so it could pass inspection. Subsequently, many of these students decided to rent a refrigerator from IRCB. The IRCB refrigerator program (“official” refrigerators according to The Spectrum ) has grown from 100 units to over 7S0 units. This increase is not due to a refrigerator inspection program! IRCB has met the needs of the residents population with larger refrigerators at reasonable prices. The refrigerator inspection program was designed to insure the health and safety of all dorm residents. The program was in conjunction with IRC, IRCB. SA. FSA and Custodial Services. Do you see a conflict of interest with all of these organizations? The Spectrum wished to know if IRC’s(actually IRCB) reaction was on time regarding flights. The answer to this is yes! IRCB books alf of its group ten flights five months in advance of the holiday period. IRCB requested over 500 seats for the Thanksgiving Holiday in May. The Airlines (American and Alleghany) granted IRCB 330 seats, which is a substantial reduction. IRCB tried to gain access to more seats, but to no avail The airlines know they arc gaing to be booked to capacity during the Thanksgiving Holiday and would rather have passengers pay full price instead of the discounted group ten fare. IRCB realized that there would be a problem and instituted a discounted round trip bus service to the New York City area. IRCB policy is that no student should be stranded in Buffalo due to IRCB error. IRCB will run half empty bases if needed because we are a service to the students. IRCB has grown to a half million dollar corporation in a matter of years. If IRCB was not responsive to students needs in serving our population with high standards and low prices, we would have never readied that plateau. I would like to request that The Spectrum call IRCB to get the facts and alternatives before printing their opinions. The Spectrum does carry a lot of weight and misleading editorials can induce negative connotations about IRCB. ... Harvey Reiss Business Manager IRCB Inc. Hoist a round to Bob To the Editor: Did you ever wake up in the morning, a grin spread across your face, with that suspicious gleam in your eyes, chock full of energy and more than just passingly curious about your fine, oh so fine mood (like maybe perhaps, just perhaps, that wasn’t all fantasy the nite before)? I mean did you ever or is this simply a novelty. Well such was me upon my waking moments this Monday past and maybe in that good American tradition, I should have been somewhat skeptical if not downright paranoid. But really, I was cooking I mean my shoes were soft, so soft 1 could feel the vague rumblings of a Fred Astaire number coming up as I passed the brown and grey grudgingly opening to the prying, childish maliciousness of that early morning sun as it spilled itself like a gassolous lush at a Sunday dinner. This was a Monday unlike any other Monday; after all how often does one get the opportunity to dance cheek to cheek with Ginger Rogers while making one’s way through the abyss. Not very often that’s how often. As I said, should have, because the catch became apparent as soon as Monday's The Spectrum was cracked the catch, the godawful catch on pages six and seven. The incipient butts. Since when has good ole Bob taken to pen names to further his somewhat less than honorable cause. Racoon coats and spats, and perhaps a snoof from a well stocked flagon hidden beneath the layers of striped wool. Hoist ground or two, boys, to a very fine lad just one of the boys here. That’s right, just me there boys, just good ole Bob here to spend a why that’s just down little time with ma friends right neighborly of the chap. Who was that that said all those terrible nasties, good ole Bob, yeah, he’ll be remembered simply as a friend of mine. Yeah, let’s hoist another round to good ole Bob. - - - - - - Stegman Page ten TTie Spectrum Monday, 31 October 1977 . . Who would have suspected that any remote semblance to culture was possible in the land of Amherst, outside of the theaters purportedly located in that plush concentration camp, better known as the bllicott Complex? Certainly not Jay Rosen, the unfortunate exile on Main Street. Probably not the one hundred or so students grovelling about in the pits (that's the cafeteria) of the concrete castle known as Norton (Capen-Talbert) Hall. Yet barbaric as the setting may be someone saw fit to impose education in the simple form of entertainment. (Slowly but surely we will advance our minds.) Yes. I was there last Friday when the UUAB Cultural Committee presented some dance and classical guitar. I don’t remember the names, but it was good. They'll be back with something different every Friday at eleven-thirty. If you're there some Friday maybe you could descend those stairs at Norton instead of hustling to get back to civilization in Buffalo. Just a suggestion. I enjoy the variety and the best of two worlds. I like it at Amherst. I am a freshman and have classes at both campi. (IMural of campus.) When I walk through Squire Hall I don't have ah awareness of everything that has gone before me but I am willing to give what is yet to come a chance. The University doesn't owe me anything tyet). Rahter. I owe “it” and myself an open mind, a willingness to experience all it offers. It's only fair. / chose this University, not to get away from home, not to get a valid ID card and not to gel lost in the crowd. I came to learn and I'm glad to say I am learning. I care about what happens here and I wish that the Amherst Campus wasn't painted as a last resort. We, the students, can make it work. We have to make it work. Julie M. Mcllcn Truth about America 5. To the Editor Mr. Aaron Fishbein (The Spectrum October 26) that America is struggling for world following facts suggest the opposite: The freedom. 1. U.S. helped the Shah of Iran to the throne and is apparently overlooking the Shah's tyrannical methods, such as the torture of political prisoners. 2. The CIA's track record in Latin America. C.reece, Turkey and Cyprus has been totally opposed to the freedom of the people of these areas. 3. American oil companies cooperate with reactionary middle-eastern rulers. This combination gets richer at the expense of all the world, but the Arab people as a whole end up being called pirates. 4. U.S. corporations benefit out of the apartheid in Southern Africa and continue to help suppress non-whites, while the fallacious Anglo-American peace-plan is overly concerned about the welfare ol the "displaced whites." . believes Despite its tremendous powers, the U.S. has not made a constructive move towards helping the Palestinian people return to their homeland. 6. If the Vietnam war had continued, America's napalms and other modern weaponry would have made Vietnam a desert and decimated the people it was supposedly "liberating. It is too had lor the U.S. arms manufacturers that the war ended. This list is hy no means complete. Vet the following points are clear: a. America should welcome back people like Bruce Beyer who had the courage to oppose the dogs of war. b. Aaron Kishbein should be forgiven tor he knows not what he is writing about. c. It is high time the American people started telling their government to really work for world freedom. R Srinivasan Against Bakke appeal of slavery and subsequent institutionalized racism and sexism, the Supreme Court must uphold as The University Club of the Communist Party of constitutional not only affirmative action but also Erie County is opposed to the appeal being made by enforceable goals. The court will also uphold Allan Bakke, which is now being reviewed by the democracy by rejecting the enemies of integration United States Supreme Court. Bakke’s claim that and equality, who falsely table these goals as “reverse affirmative action programs are “unconstitutional” discrimination.” The ruling of the court can either has received support from the most racist and set back or advance the struggles of the people for opportunity in education as well as reactionary circles in American society, including the equal employment and civil rights. We, guided by the Young Americans for Fraternal Order of Police, the Freedom, and the Ku Klux Klan. The decision of the belief that inter-racial association benefits both Supreme Court will be the most important one blacks and whites, and as consistent opponents of regarding civil rights since “separate but equal” was racism, wish to see the powerful sentiment for declared unconstitutional. Gains won by minorities guaranteeing implementation of affirmative action and women in past decades have been the results of turn into a movement of the people!! bitter struggles waged, and all attempts to mitigate John Casmin these gains must be opposed by blacks and whites University Club of Communist Party together. Irr order to remedy the effects of 300 years of Erie County To the Editor. Age of paranoia To the Editor. I am so mad, I can hardly see. This is in reference to the Guest Opinion by the Committee to Reverse the Bakke Decision. Somehow, I suspect the Committee is a group of neo-fascist left-wing reactionaries whose only aim is to get things their way so they can gain control of the country and wipe out the bourgois capitalist pig dogs who breed discrimination (and supply money to The Spectrum so they can afford to print such inane garbage as that Guest Opinion). How can a group that states its purpose in preventing discrimination and repression of rights be up in arms about an Illinois court allowing the American Nazi Party to march through Skokie, 111 ? Isn’t the right of peaceful demonstration guaranteed in the Bill of Rights? And why is it so bad for.the Ku Klux Klan to organize? Granted, harassment of non-whites by these groups is wrong, but they can print or say anything they damn well please and it’s okay with me because it is their right as Americans. They may be ignorant fools, but its their right. And 1 hardly think that stopping federally funded “optional” (they left out that key word) abortions is sexist. Does it make me a male chauvanist to refuse to finance something for someone that isn’t necessary? Actually we men should be angry. We can’t have abortions, get pregnant or make the centerfold of Hustler. Maybe I should take God to the Supreme Court. I’ve been discriminated against! I guess I’m being silly, but it is to illustrate a point. Whereas the sixties were termed the “age of enlightenment,” the seventies should be called the “age of paranoia.” It seems everytime a decision is laid down, no matter how fair, if someone feels cheated, they cry “racist” or “fascist.” (Looking back upon the beginning of this letter, 1 guess I, too, am guilty of such rhetoric.) As a specific example, I refer to an article in Time magazine entitled, “Goodbye to the Rubber Diploma” (September 27, 1977). It refers to the Greenville County, Va. school system and its new policy of only passing students who can pass standardized tests. The NAACP has claimed that this new policy is used to segregate the classrooms since the majority of the students held back were black (students held back receive remedial help in classes of their own). I find this argument rather weak. I’ll bet my life that blacks can, and do, take the same courses as whites. If the blacks can be held back so easily, this implies two things to me: 1) whites must be smarter than blacks, or 2) blacks aren’t trying hard enough. Somehow I doubt the first is true, and as for the second, if they aren’t trying, they deserve to be held back, forever, if necessary. Affirmative Action should be used to give everyone an even break, not to put the minorities at the finish line at the start of the race. The Constitution guarantees us equal protection under the law. QUOTAS ARE NOT EQUAL PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW, Refusing to let the KKK organize is not EQUAL PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW. When are we going to learn to live by the rules we hold so sacred? The saddest part about our society is that laws must be written to make people be fair to one another. Why can’t we learn to live together without them? Laws erode the freedom you and I hold so dear.

On what other evening will you find Dracula bobbing for apples next to Cinderella? Costume parties are considered the more sociably accepted form of cra/iness than the mischief-making witch often turns into vandalism. How did all this mysterious behavior come about? Help of the devil The Celtic Festival of Samhain is probably the source of present day Halloween. The Celts lived more than 2.000 years ago in what is now Great Britain, Ireland, and Northern France. Their New Year began November I A festival that began the evening honored previous Samhain. the Celtic lord of death. On this day, Samhain called together the souls of the wicked who had died during the past year and allowed them to roam the earth. The date was connected with the return of herds from pasture and laws and land tenures were renewed. Halloween was thought to be the most favorable time for devinations concerning marriage, luck, health, and death It was the only day on which the help of the devil was invoked for such purposes. On the evening of the festival, the Druids, who were the priests and teachers of the C elts, ordered the people to put out their hearth fires. The Druids built a huge new Jack-a-miser Celtic customs survived even after Christianity grew In the HOO's, the Church established November 1 as "All Saints Day." incorporating pagan the old customs part of this Christian holy day.

There’s no such thing, you say? Try telling that to the authors of such books as Everyday Witchcraft, Charms, Spells, and Curses. Helping Yourself with White Witchcraft, and Magick in Theory and Practice. Today, numerous catalogs deal almost exclusively with witchcraft supplies. The fact is. witchcraft is alive and growing in Europe as well as in the United States. Even more startling, witchcraft is growing as a religion. ' Eye of new Though witchcraft was around before Christianity, the movement gained popularity in this country along with hippies, drug cults, flower children, and satanism, which is fundamentally different from witchcraft, in the 1960’s. Young people saw witchcraft as something new, yet basic and very definitely anti-establishment. So, what is witchcraft? To some, it’s a handy combination of herbal knowledge and incantations, used to quiet a gossipy neighbor or gel nd of a cold. For others, it’s a way of plugging into the universe and understanding the nature of things.

Spies and Spitzenbergs In the old days, cider was pressed by hand. This took too much time, explained Dietz, who used a hand press for two years before installing the hydraulic. He recalled how farmers used to tie their horses to the stoop in front of the mill and sit inside near the stove talking about the crops that year. The apples brought to the mill then were Spitzenberg and Northern Spy. Today, Dietz takes pleasure in offering a cup of cider to those who visit the mill, and can be seen explaining the cider making process to the children of people to whom he once told the same tale. The cider contains no preservatives according to Hazel Dietz, who said that it will keep for a week or longer if it is frozen. Many customers have done this in order to serve cider all year round and are surprised at how fresh it tastes, she said. At Christmas, mulled cider is served, hot and spiced with cinnamon.

Monday, 31 October 1977 meiubmee increase The University Bookstore (All 3 Locations) Haliph&s i n t o i mat ion measures �sportspaige BY Paige Miller Spectrum Copy Editor It’s hard to believe, but playing for this University is the best player in the nation in a particular sport. Notice what I said there. The best. No qualifying adjectives, like the best college player, or as in the case of basketball center Sam Pellom, the best rebounder. Simply the best. Those of you who read The Spectrum from cover to cover and remember everything already know about whom I’m talking. And some of you may already know for other reasons. But for the rest the of you, I’ll keep you in suspense no longer sport is women’s bowling and the player is Cindy - Coburn. Cobum led the nation with a 211 average last year, topping over four million other bowlers. Four million. That’s nothing to sneeze at. Her mother, Doris, is already in the Bowling Hall of Fame, and her sister, Kathy, is a bowler of some note. Remain at victory stand Cindy spurned a scholarship from Indiana University to come here, and she has already made her presence felt, by helping UB deominate a tournament last weekend in West Virginia. In fact, Cindy was so strong at West Virginia that she was asked to remain at the victory stand, rather than march up to receive each award. The women’s athletic department recently has been trying to upgrade their program, and Cindy’s arrival could just push Buffalo bowlers into national prominence. UB’s women’s bowlers have several state championships to their credit in the last few years. Now, they can realistically set their sights higher, and 1 hope they can go all way. UB could use a national championship. Winter sports Buffalo’s winter teams have begun practice, and here are some capsule comments on some of them. Hockey: Coach Ed Wright has several huge holes to fill, including goaltender and the team’s top two scorers, and he has a load of freshmen to fill those spots. Wright hopes to use two freshmen lines this year, and has been particularly impressed with the line of right wing Pete Sawyer, left wing Donny Osborn, and center Timmy Igo. incidentally, former Buffalo goalie John Moore out for the Chicago Black Hawks of the tried National Hockey League, but didn’t make it. He is not even playing in the minors right now. In basketball, coach Leo Richardson is almost down to his final cut. Three starters return from last year, and Richardson reports that he has several promising newcomers. Gone from last year’s team are guards Dana Mitchell and Donald Scott, both of whom left school. Richardson also reports that assistant coach Kenny Pope has returned for another year, and that he has three new student assistants to help him: George Cooper, Verncll Washington, and Bobby Pellman. Two teams, Holy Cross and Fairleigh Dickinson, have dropped UB from their schedule this year. Both moves were related to the fact th»t UB is now Division III. That leaves Buffalo with only 23 games on their schedule, while most teams play 26 or more games per year. Heavy wrestling Wrestling coach Ed Michael has a new heavyweight this year. He is Paul Curka, a 6-1, 270 pound transfer. Curkas was a two time third-place finisher the New in Jersey high school championships, and competed in the junior Pan American championships. Other promising newcomers include Tom Jacoutot. whose brothers wrestled for UB, and Dave Tundo, whose brother Gene also wrestles for UB. The annual Alumni-Varsity wrestling match has been canceled. The field hockey team finished their season with 1-0 victory over Buffalo State and a 6-0 loss to Syracuse. Buffalo’s only goal in the Buffalo State game was tallied by Sophomore Lynn Walker who was also the team’s leading scorer. a Although the team finished only 2-7-1, coach Betty Dimmick feels that the attitude on the team has greatly improved from last year, when Buffalo only had a part-time coach. Dimmick noted that only three team members are graduating, and that she will try to send the team to field hockey camp this summer, so that next year’s team should be in much better shape. I agree to a certain extent with several letters in The Spectrum that professional sports do not belong in a college newspaper. I think that the story on Lou Piccone in Friday's issue didn’t belong, and I also think that the Wizard of Odds is a waste of space the way it is presently being written. Volleybaliers win Big Four by Joy Clark undoing I Jilor Buffalo The volleyball Bulls picked up their third Big l our championship in as many years on Saturday, but not without a struggle. The final standings of the Tournament, held at ( lark Hall showed Buttalo in first place, followed by Canisius, Buffalo State and Niagara.

The Report centers on curricular structure, program review and administrative implications. The Committee is not trying to seek a “four course load or a five course load,” said chairman of the Comjnittee Robert Springer, to the Report, “In a According given program having different breadth, phases emphasizing or depth laboratory-type work, the number of courses per semester could easily vary from three to six." The Report stated, “There does not appear to be a general improvement in education here since the 1969-70 change (changing the course load from five to. four). Although the Committee feels the University’s curricular structure should not be based on a designated number of courses per student per semester, some basic cornerstone does seem desirable.” The three credit/three contact hour module is the cornerstone that Committee felt was necessary. Doubts more work The Committee felt that three crcdit/three contact hour course “has proven to be an effective module of instruction” and “doubts that there is a full one-third more content in a four credit/four contact hour course.” the Springer emphasized “the recommendation that Committee recognizes that the three for three unit is not necessarily the most effective in every circumstance and that departures from it should be undertaken for specific purposes.” Specifically, “The Committee recommends that the University undertake a systematic review of the curricular structure of all undergraduate degrees granting units and programs. This review should focus on departures from the basic module of a three credit hour/three contact hour course.” Senate .Another faculty Committee on x Contact/Credit Exception was set up this summer justify the hundreds of three contact hour/four credit hour classes for the 1977-78 academic year. The Curricular Committee to felt that “in many cases this requirement has been met by the addition of extra sssignments to existing courses which it feels may be inadequate in some cases as a permanent solution. Therefore, the Committee recommended that “unless the additional work cited to justify an excess of credit hours results from the basic purpose and design of a course, the reviewing and Division of Faculty Undergraduate Education (DUE) bodies should insist on a literal equivalence of credit hours and contact hours.” Carefully documented Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Claude Welch termed the Report as documented and “carefully important in its emphasis of increasing the breadth of an education.” Welch stated, “The changeover in 1969 was primarily a cosmetic one and this report reaffirms the Carnegie Unit.” Implications of this report are of credits per course. Both Welch and Springer agreed that if credit per course declines and more courses must be offered, then class size may rise as much as 25 percent in the affected area. Other problems could range from scheduling, registering and time, increased bus to competition among departments based on the number of credits is sure if departments will try and their three contact justify courses, or hour hour/four credit decrease the number if they will decided, was what provides the education, not best which inconveniences result.” Welch said, “It’s really unknown what is going to happen, and before they recommend (departments) change, they will have to examine the effects on students and scheduling.” He agreed that “alienation between students and the Administration could be increased, if you assume that students will react negatively to increased course an load. Although, alienation stems from the scheduling problem, the Committee suggested equivalence be eased by a —continued on page 20- Chinese Student Association charges KMT spying by Harvey Shapiro Spectrum Staff Writer F.dito-’s note: This is the first in a series of articles dealing with alleged spying by agents of the government of Taiwan on Chinese Students at this University. “Agents” of the Republic of China’s (ROC) ruling party, the Kuomintang (KMT), observe and file reports on Taiwanese students at this University who come in contact with “Communist literature,” Chinese students have claimed in interviews in recent weeks. Mong-Heng Tan and Peter Yuen, members of the Chinese Student Association (CSA), have named Shang-Hsi (Dick) Yeh, a graduate student in the Electrical Engineering Department, as a leader of the KMT faction on this campus. Yeh has vehemently denied the charge, claiming, “I am a KMT supporter, but 1 am not actively involved in the party.” Anonymity requested Since Tan is from Hong Kong, and cannot be touched by the KMT, he has talked freely, accusing Yeh of conducting surveillance of Taiwanese students here. However, some students from Taiwan have refused to comment on any political matter, because they fear reprisals. All Taiwanese students who agreed to be interviewed did so only after a guarantee of anonymity. Taiwan, or the Republic of China, is a small island off mainland China. Since the Communist takeover of the mainland in 1949, the island has been home for those who oppose the mainland regime. The ROC government still claims that a state of siege still exists with the mainland. According to Amnesty International, the government believes itself the true government of mainland China, and is very fearful of a Communist takeover of Taiwan. Thus, Taiwan does not realistically portray the mainland government and tries to keep all Taiwanese away from Communist literature. A student here who is a KMT sympathizer, stated that surveillance has occurred in the Chinese Student Association (CSA) office. According to this student, “they watch you to see if you will pick up and read any of the pro-Communist literature that is around. If you do they will write down your name.” Several sources have pointed the finger at Dick Yeh. They claim that Yeh sat in the CSA office to watch who reads pro-Communist literature. Yeh, however, denies this. ‘There are certain people,” he said, “who are spreading rumors about the Taiwanese government and myself. These students are out to make trouble. They are spreading rumors about me because I oppose their political position.” Yeh declined to mention the people by name but did say they were from Hong Kong. Yuen and Tan are members of the Graduate Student Association, an organization whose recent leaders have been increasingly radical. The two lean politically toward Communism. Reports allegedly filed According to Yuen, an agent/student writes down the a student who reads Communist literature, “a report is made on that student and sent to the ROC consulate in New York City.” Yuen added that this report name of includes “who is the President of the local CSA, the political leanings of both the CSA and the student on whom the report is based, the student’s contact with the ‘Bandits’ (Communists) and their propaganda, and other questions on thp-extra-curricular activities of the student.” The Vice-Counsel of the ROC Consulate in New York, denied these assertions. “No such George Chen, he said. “If students belong to the surveillance KMT and they have trouble, they can come to us, but no such agent network exists.” At one point Chen interrupted the interview and declined to answer more questions. He referred further questions to the Consul-General, Kung-Chuan Hsia. After repeated attempts, comment. Hsia could not be reached for Documentation of reports Several sources aid that once a report is made “the government can make it difficult for you if you decide to return to Taiwan.” The student said that if people apply for government jobs, their political backgrounds are checked. “If a report has been made on them,” the student continued, “they will not get that job.” Yuen claimed that more can, and has, been done to students. “If you continually associate with alleged Communist propaganda and you return to Taiwan, you can be arrested and jailed.” Several Taiwanese students, both KMT and non-KMT, have denied that the ROC Nationalist government jails alleged Communists. However, the New York Times has documented the case of Ch’en Yu-Hui, who supports Yuen’s accusation. Hui, a former student at the University of Hawaii, was found in Japan by KMT agents and brought back to Taiwan. He was tried and sentenced to seven years in prison. The Times reported that he was arrested for reading mainland Chinese publications while at the University of Hawaii. Communist literature available While other campuses have reported widespread surveillance, the situation here as been relatively quiet. Aside from the alleged observation in the CSA office, not much else has occurred. One student said that the passive nature of the Taiwanese students here accounts for the quiet atmosphere. Despite the relative political inactivity of students here, the presence of Chinese students may lead to KMT surveillance. “Since America is freer. Communist literature is available. Thus, students from Taiwan come in contact with favorable literature about Communist China, for the first time.” Tan maintained that many deem surveillance necessary to prevent contact with pro-Communist literature. �HtUe] Wins and Qmm*.

X Bahl explained that the primary interest in the Biology Division is teaching, while CMB’j interests axe varied, incorporating both research and teaching. Students claimed the constant conflict between each section stems from the fact that the Biology division has a greater number of undergraduate students than does CMB, yet has less facilities. Bahl said the two budgets are handled independently. According - to one Biology professor, the State funds the departments by using a formula based on the number of students in each. Bahl said the division Biology appropriation is in fact several thousand dollars larger than. CMB’s. “CMB through research brings grants to the department,” Bahl claimed. “Only the newest people in CMB are not involved in research, whereas the majority from Biology is not involved. Grants to' CMB bring approximately $800,000 as opposed to $50,000 acquired by Biology.” - New Chancellor of SUNY named Clifton R. Wharton, currently the President of Mulng-m St.ue University, was selected Wednesday the new Chancellor of the State University of New York (SUNY). the nation's larges] iitmvnsm system. Wharton, 51, will become the first bkiek'to head the Sl'W system, which enrolls 350,000 students on b4 different campuses across the state. Acting SUNY chancellor, James Kelley, was widely rumored to be In line for the permanent post. However. Kelley suffered a heart attack last month which may have dropped him from the list of candidates. Wharton will replace Ernest Boyer, who resigned as chief of SUNY after being tapped by President Jimmy Carter for die position of U.S. Commissioner of Education. Wharton has served as President of Michigan State since I ‘>70, A native of Boston, he entered Harvard University at the age of I Wharton owns degrees from Harvard, Johns Hopkins and Chicago University. His academic specialty is economics with emphasis on agricultural development of third world nations. The new Chancellor will face several immediate and crucial concerns. After twenty years of meteoric growth, SUNY expansion has slowed to a crawl. Enrollment projections have been slashed and construction is virtually at a standstill, leaving many units across the state inoompleted. SUNY at Buffalo’* Amherst Campus is furthest from Completion, with $300 million in construction still needed to make the system’s largest unit functional. The budget crunch has forced the trimming of faculty payrolls, and morale is rumored to be low at several campuses across the state. Wharton will also have to negotiate with New York City on a possible takeover of the City Unhrcnity of New York (CUNY) by the state. New York City can no longer afford to maintain CUNY, the nation’s second largest university system. SUNY officials have attempted to cool talks on a state takeover. SUNY Trustees approved a $775 million proposed budget for next year and officials of the University are waiting with baited breath as the request approaches review by budget officials in Albany. It must also be approved by the State Legislature. The SUNY Chancellor is paid $57,650 a year and enjoy* a state home, a state car, and other expense allowances. <>.

When 1 was a boy, my father was a fisherman in Lake Erie and the park’s lake was really dear. You could drink out of them both. Now one is as bad as the other,” he commented. Between Delaware Park Lake and Scajaquada Creek lies Mirror Lake, so called because of the adjacent reflection of Historical Society Building. As Stafaniak said, "Better they should call it Minor Swamp.” The problem with Mirror Lake could be deduced by any graduate of Geology 103. Minor Lake forms a giant eddy so the current slows down, thus depositing sludge all along the edge of the lake. Local views Local residents are quick to "We agree. stopped having backyard barbeques because of the smell,” said Dora Hammond. Another local, Janis Lendowski, observed, "Not even the ducks will go in the lake anymore.

But it doesn’t, the A special problem with Mirror dam current is so slow, it all backs Lake is that Jt features the Japanese Garden, supposedly a tribute to Buffalo’s sister city - Kanazawa, Japan. Unfortunately, if the good people of Kanazawa could see this “tribute” they would probably think Buffalo was seeking retribution for Pearl Harbor. The Garden consists of a bridge (over muddy waters), three little islands (three piles of dirt) with branches stuck in them which pass for bonzai trees and an iron Japanese lantern, a gift from Kanazawa, that is more rust than vandals iron because keep dumping it into the lake. Mirror Lake is also notorious for having almost as many mosquitoes in the summer as the Amazon during malaria season. Even the statue of Abraham Lincoln which faces the lake seems to have a nauseated look on its otherwise distinguished face. And if the nearby bust of Mozart had arms, it would probably be holding its nose. ' Another strange item was a pipe sticking up out of Mirror Lake from which water gushes continuously. No one at the City Parks Department was able to identify the source of this water; in fact, no one even knew of it. The total cost of the cleanup is estimated by project Assemblyman William B. Hoyt (D., Buffalo) to be close to $8 million. The project calls for a complete dredging and deepening of the existing lake and for the construction of a tunnel that will carry polluted Scajaquada Creek water around the lake. The also calls for the project development of existing fresh water springs in the lake area. springs, especially Cold Spring and Jubilee Spring, provided much of the residential water for the city’s Black Rock section before the turn of this century. “After eight frustrating years of working on this project, this report from Albany comes as very news,” happy stated Assemblyman Hoyt. He added that with the continued strong support of Senator Moynihan and Congressmen LaFalce and Nowak, the Federal Environmental Protection Agency would act to approve the final phase of this project which will begin by 1978.

SASU succeeded in accumulating only five hundred to six hundred signatures. Clifford stated he felt many students were hesitant to sign because Si^SU; failed to provide enough factual information to substantiate their claims. Consequently, skeptical students turned away unwilling to leave their signatures in support of an issue they X considered nebulous. X The health fee, which will amount to $17 a year for students at this University, was established by the SUNY Board of May ,in response to a $2.3 million cutback in SUNY revenues. Although officially listed as a health fee, that money will be contributed towards the SUNY general (und. Thus far, no indications of plans fbr standardization and improvement of health care have been devised, according to SASU delegate Clare Riorday. In addition, SASU Vice President Arthur Hildaigo, who attended the Health Service Fee Task Force claimed the Board of Trustees felt students should be paying more fees for the services provided them and arbitrarily chose to implement one for health services. “It was just dreamt up out of a clear blue sky,” Clifford said. Therefore SASU is planning a new drive for signatures beginning on Monday in Squire and Capen Halls. “We will have more information this week including, hopefully, minutes of the legislative session during which the fee was implemented,” stated Qifford. “We’re hoping for more support this time.” If the fee can not be abolished by next semester, he added, SASU will attempt to have the fee costs covered by student aid. < ' - Mondale —continued from . previous visit to Buffalo, saying “Just as I saw victory in your eyes then, I see it in your eyes now . . . we will be together again.” Mondale also brought a personal message from I Hubert Humphrey to his “friends in Buffalo Hubert Humphrey wants Arthur Eve elected Mayor of Buffalo.” In ... .addition.

My dimattsfaction with this corner is either part of or because of a larger ill feeling I’ve been wrestling with concerning the paper as a whole, specifically the issues we’ve put out the last couple of weeks. Underneath the embarrassing mistakes, poorly handled stories and the thinness of the list few issues, runs a deeper current of my discontent with the course this ship is sailing. My complaints are teeming with contradictions. The papers are going faster than Elvis Presley albums, by most people’s observations. It’s hard to get a copy of The Spectrum after noon.

As for the girl seen urinating on the grass outside the gym, your embarrassing inconvenience was the spark that encouraged this article. 1 just wish that your inconvenience could have been shared by those responsible for this affair.

TheSpectrum has been beating several almost dead horses. lt,’s Important to understand that they seem, to us, to be important bones, thoroughbreds if you wiB, and if we appear insistent upon getting out last licks in, itb only because we’re listening to the little voices in our heads that claim to know what is vital reading to the students of tins University. These little voices have been ending their relevatkms lately with, “This is a recording.” Therein lies the problem. For we haven’t the insight to change the tape or the initiative to stop tuning in. So perhaps it’s time for a rewinding of our thinking. This, however, is no push button task. You see, we have virtually no concrete conceptions of either the range or the depth of student interests, we really don’t. All we have are these little voices hinting at where student interests should he. So we’re confronted with these two circles of thought. One may be larger than the other, though we would certainly not know which one. The circles may be concentric, they may not intersect at ML They may not even be round for all we know. Yet every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, The Spectrum is there, waiting for you to pick up and read. Or not read. Why are we so uninformed? Perhaps because we’ve put no effort into accurately gauging your interests. Or perhaps you've put no effort into informing us. Or perhaps we realty are informed and don’t know it. Or is it that student interests are so varied and undefined that our guesses as reasonably intelligeitrand experienced journalists are as accurate gauge as any. So could it be that we are really not uninformed but that there is nothing to be informed about? Somehow, I don’t think so. We have no difficulty convincing ourselves what a splendid job we’re going. Glancing through newspapers from other universities. The Spectrum’s technical and literary qualities appear unequalled. (I’d ask you to come up and convince yourself, hilt I’ve been through all that.) We have our specific stories and editorial stands to be proud of. We have printed more pages than at this time last year and we are doing it on a smaller slice of your activity fees. So are yon getting more for your money? Well, in terms of pulp and ink, undeniably yea. Then why am I writing this column? Because this paper is not cutting it as I know it can cut it, • that’s basically why. ■ , * * • ~ *■ So even when we know students are getting screwed, we are often powerless to writ* responsibly about it. This translates Into boring articles in which an administrator makes a secy impressive defense of his policies, backed up by very official sounding figures. The same article may offer subjective and accusatory gripes by students, or unimpressive of “our side." And wailings by maybe well run an editorial selfacting fids Somehow We’re Getting Screwed But We Don'tKnow Exactly How attitude. Or maybe you don’t know what the hell I’m talking about. And then there are the student leaders, who are not exactly inundating this office with hot news tips. We ate fighting the same battles; it’s just that they are alternately oar allies and enemies. Of course, their unwillingness to due os in on certain issues could be either a reflection of our irresponsibility as journalists or their irresponsibility as student leaders. And floating over the whole issue is the feeling that students in general neither know nor care about what their student government does. If you came up here and told me you were sick and tired of stories and cohuns about hacks and hack organizations, I could offer you no argument. None. This returns us to the conflict between What you are interested in reading and what you should be interested in, i,c., what’s important. Do we concentrate only on the former? That kind of journalistic thinking has brought us the New York Poet and Eyewitness News amazingly popular, and intellectually vacuous. So do we aim our efforts at the latter? That requires injection of our personal prejudices and this implicit “holier than: thou” attitude toward our readers. The issues are what we make them has been heard around this office more than once. Though I see the danger in this, I’m certainly not dear on what to do with it. And always, hanging over our heads, are the prize winning bound volumes of 1969 and 1970 lying silently on the shelves of this office, signifying the long-gone glory days of this newspaper. So where does this column lead? Well, halfway through a tunnel of unknown length. But 1*U continue lighting my lantern every week or so.

C *rSST A untying affair To the Editor- I am glad to see that students are Anally showing their discontent with the articles that recently have been printed in The Spectrum, our student newspaper. Recently Mr. Steiniger (October 26) stated that articles on professional baseball (N.Y. Yankees) has no place, in a college newspaper. I agree. I also feel that article? on professional journalism (something The Spectrum obviously does not possess) does not haye its place in a college newspaper. I am referring to. the series of articles printed on the dominance of the Sunday edition qf the city newspapers. I would never have written this letter except that, there was an issue that should have received frqnt page precedence for weeks. That is the return of football to the UB community. Bruce Beyer, a fugitive, returned to Buffalo after seven years of exile. The Spectrum printed a series of articles, mostly front page, on this man. UB football, a community unifying affair, , returned to Buffalo also after seven years of exile. The week before the first game in seven years, there were only a few articles buried inside the Friday issue. Poorly written at that, may I add. I was truly expecting a three-inch banner headline on the front page. Of course, I must be naive. The Spectrum only gave that sort of headline to Charles Pernaslese when convicted of murder. Or one small listing about the pep rally before the Canisius game. Rapist “Kenny” Johnson gets many listings throughout the paper for his pep rallies. This past week we played Brockport, an important game to the football team. Not one article was printed on Friday. Instead of “urging all students, faculty and administrators to hear this native Buffalonian (Beyer) speak about his anti-war activities in 10/26) over ten years Buffalo” (Spectrum , page 1 ago, why don’t you “urge” students, faculty and administrators to come and support student related activities here at UB . . TODAY. - . Craig R. Cirbus 31 profiles There, has been considerable discussion in recent weeks about the Faculty Student Association (FSA), the University services corporation. This installment of SA PROFILES will focus on the structure of FSA and some recent changes in the organization, rather than the controversies. FSA operates various University services, including the Food and Vending Service, the Bookstore, Check Cashing, the Ticket Office in Squire Hall and linen services in the dormitories. i FSA receives no outside funding, relying only on income generated by its own services. Hence, estimates must be made to maintain operating guidelines. For instance, Food Service operates on a ten percent “missed meal” estimate in order to keep costs down. This usually accurate system, however, was upset by last winter’s blizzard when the normal ten percent margin was dramatically reduced causing a shortage. Last summer, the Board of Directors or FSA was restructured to include more student participation. Six students now sit on the Board. Previously, the Board included only two student representatives. The only other sources of student input were in the form of two advisory committees on the Bookstore and Food Service. Four representatives from the Student Association (SA), Dennis Black, Andy Lalonde, Dan Kinley and Alexandra Kukan, one from the Graduate Student Association and one from the Millard Fillmore College Student Association are the student members of the Board. SA Executive Vice-President Andy Lalonde is Chairman of the Board. Board meetings are held monthly and are open to the public. Give IRC a chance To the Editor: As much as IRC has been the source of heated controversy of late including enough fruitless exchanges, 1 now feel inclined to break my silence. UhtO now. I’ve maintained the Harpo role since the thing I detest second most, besides politics (in the petty sense), is senseless bickering. Both sides are equally guilty of ensueing with an entourage of destructive criticism, negative results accomplished. I emphasize this so that the tone of my comments should be interpreted constructively. Firstly, we do not pretend to maintain total innocence. We admittedly make, and have made. mistakes. We are only human, and all busy students besides, and we try not to take exception to anyone pointing out our error if presented fairly. Better yet. if related in a constructive sense, perhaps then we can learn and benefit from it. It is discouraging that The Spectrum has chosen to print whatever it feels like printing without adequate attention and with insigfatrveness lacking; once printed there is no erasing of the impression left on the reader’s mind. Refuting is futile and unnecessary if journalism has been performed responsibly, including a proper determination of the facts and situation beforehand. The circumstances often requires examination .in totality, with last minute phone calls or abrupt comment not being conducive to fair representation. Utilization of proper channels for information is fundamental, with provision for an approach more methological and careful. Cases in point: (1) When the budget question arose, was not the treasurer a likely source' of information, since financial responsibilities and matters are my concern? 1 was not approached. (2) One taking a questioning interest in the travel situation would have uncovered at the very least that it involves IRCB, besides the fact that no failure or negligence on their behalf is involved, much more capacity was requested but denied by the airlines.

Strictly speaking, we have been bending over backwards to accommodate everyone’s needs in this respect if not, decree would have it small refrigerators for all. fhangingdirections here, much more important - activities should be secondary to our real purpose of responsive government for the dorm student. I won’t even pretend that this has been the total case so far, but that is the direction we are striving to attain and we have made considerable gains along these lines. Our efforts in regard to food service, buses, future telephone service, future room arrangements, expanded radio station, go unannounced while our ' student ID involvement has been played up. There was considerable mention made of our budget yet it simply is not deserving of such attention, it really is of secondary importance. We offer a package of entertainment and tangibles to the students to elicit membership that provides us with two things; (a) less importantly, funds to provide the entertainment promised; (b) most importantly, members, students, the greatest majority and representation possible. That way we can respond to, involve and work with, and represent a majority faction to attain a bargaining position to remedy problematic situations. Thus, our funds lead to entertainment which in itself is a means to the end. Our funds are adequate, we have had and co-sponsored events, will continue to do so plus coffeehouses, etc. ah besides top rate movie presentation. But The Spectrum echoes my sentiments that the main order of business is students and dorm problems; involvement here is cheap. One does not need a walloping budget to accomplish what the objectives of IRC are, we can accomplish something, yet still have fun and amuse ourselves besides. If you chastise us for our failures, it is because as of yet we have not had the involvement and student action needed; our objective is to achieve this and channel it constructively. We totally invite student response, but we need it before the fact; we ask for action and involvement, not belated criticism. Great energy certainly has been expanded in admonishment via literary features, had half that total effort been expended at the onset we all may have reaped the rewards. A mutual relationship based on cooperative use, not abuse, will be beneficial to all and a far cry from the mistrust and hard feelings already wrought. ... Steve Peck Treasurer IRC Friday, 28 October 1977 The Spectrum Page seven . . , \ �Speak up 7n l he Editor. OFFICE OF CULTURAL AFFAIRS Amidst all the bickering currently in progress on campus, one fact remains inarguably clear: The Spectrum is serving a very useful purpose as a forum for the exchange of ideas. From Pat C, Roman to IHC, The Spectrum has allowed many fascinating opinions to surface. Thank you! presents The first topic I’d like to bring up should cause no argument: the curtailment of hours at the University libraries. Specifically, I’m upset with the cutbacks at the Science and Engineering Library. Tuesdays and Fridays, the SEL closes at 5 p.m. I was hoping to do some research for a lab report this evening (Tuesday, 10/25) at the SEL, but arrived there at 8 p.m. to find it was closed. I’ll be able to rearrange my plans, but that surprise I didn’t need. The long-range plans for SUNYAB published tet year call for a greater emphasis on graduate-level research. It seems to me that an efficient, wp.U-stocked library system is mandatory for the nurturing of a high-quality research reputation. This curtailment jeopardizes that potential reputation, and increases the level of inconvenience on already beleagured students. I have one suggestion for the University libraries. It may be unpopular, but at least it’s a start. The late-night function of the UGL seems to be a “cram” center for forthcoming tests (usually the next day). Are library facilities necessary for this purpose? Why not open Diefendorf Hall (or Diefendorf Annex) for late night studying, staffed by one person whose purpose is to baby-sit the hi.iMing- to make sure no one sets fire to it, for instance. The leftover funds could then be used to restore early evening hours at least to the SEL. It seems the Erie County sherriff’s department ( Buffalo Evening News, 10/25) is having trouble spending its budgetary allowance. SUNYAB should offer to remove the burden of spending that money from the county. Topic two concerns Rick Eddy’s letter (“Happy To Be Alive.” 10/24) to The Spectrum. Rick, you share ray sentiments 200 percent! What a refreshing letter. I’d like to add one point: AO the current crises (ID cards, IRC, the Olympics) seem to have one common denominator; lack of communication. Administration with students, students with I think a lot of the current students, whatever problems could have been rendered less painful by an attempt by every person associated with SUNYAB to communicate better. When you see a problem developing, speak up!

Listen to his blues-talk, his ad-libs; qftsdngs.like "Bullfrog Blues" and "Will Not Be Your Fool", both Bromberg compositions, and you can't help shrieking at least once or twice. He is also, without a doubt, a very serious and talented musician and songwriter, but his humor always seems to remain uppermost in my mini. *. v V-*C*ts �'OTt?# •With this impression, therefore, I went to interview David Bromberg Friday night before he appeared at Clark Hall to a capacity (to say the least) crowd. I wasn't quite prepared for the man I met. Bromberg was quite, polite, serious, and, if it's at all possible, a bit nervous? Come on, somebody who's (My lifetime!), been playing guitar for nineteen has had "stars" like Dylan and the Dead play with him](Not to mention Chubby Checker), and has a firrq following of fans who know good folk-bluegrass-bluesboogie when they hear, it/ (though he's never hit the Top 40 paydirt and won those multitudes) couldn't be at all apprehensive. Not: about playing for a crowd that would most likely be recptive to him and his show (Why else would they be there? They knew what they were gettihg into, I'm sure). And it couldn't have been me I may be many things,, but frightening. I'm not. Well, I must have imagined it. Right? - Fame not mine One thing I know I didn't imagine was% Bromberg's modesty and the acceptance of himself and -his -place in the cnusjeworldthat yyent along with ft. As he put it, ''‘Fame is a rather peculiar goal, and it's not mine. I've known people who've always wanted to be famous, that's what they've strived for, and they're not happy with it. Some people are. But fame's not what I'm striving for." So whatt irOavW” Bromberg's goal? 'To play really well, and by doing that, have a good time." Another element of Bromberg's music that makes it satisfying to varied tastes it its' diversity, "f. try to keep it interesting," he commented. 'This is not very calculated, what I do, at all. We're very diverse; we have a repetoire of 100-200 songs. They drop in and out once in awhile." Where does he get all this material from? "I listen to a lot of records." He keeps his listening varied, also: “I'd hesitate to name favorites.'' From being a Greenwich Village folkie in the sixties, Bromberg has met many people ("A lot of them, Dylan for instance, came and saw me play") and come a long way. To hear him talk, though, you'd think he was still a veritable nothing. The recognition that he has earned hasn't made him into anything near an "unreachable star". The Jane Olderman Band began the evening at 10:30 not bad. Jane has a pleasant, folky voice, and performs pleasant, forgettable, original songs. She has a tendency to run her words together, making a good deal of her lyrics unintelligible. Her band provided adequate backup and some good harmony on a couple of tunes, the most interesting (but odd) of which was the acappeila "Rice Crispies" jingle, followed by "All Over Now", with a bit of staged movement a la the Temptation. They ended their 45-minute set without an encore — Divine reckless abendon David Bromberg and his band took the stage at 11:40. They began with a bluegrass-flavored "Six Days On The Road" that digressed into a jam, with Bromberg, Dick Fegy and George Kindler all playing fiddles. John Firmin added some woodwinds and suddenly changed the tune into an Irish jig. Kindler changed the acoustic fiddle for an electric one, and the band jumped into a fine boogie tune. Curt Linberg's trombone and Firmin's fine sax adding depth. Bromberg announced the arrival of his new L.P., RacMu Abandon "that's all I'm going to say about it because plugging records is obnoxious. However, buying them is divine." Next came "Steelin'," a tune from that most recent album, complete with horns, mandolin, and : r4 * mSssi iPaE \ 4 rM?- Ip lVr-' ; MHRI —Janaor —> everything! The extreme talent of the musicians and the variety of things each could do was impressive. Fegy played mandolin, fiddle, banjo and guitar, Firmin a variety of woodwinds and sax, and Bromberg himself acoustic and electric guitars as a fiddle and mandolin. The rythm section, featuring Lance Dickerson on drums and an unidentified bass player, added background vocals, * Skilled acoustic guitar Bromberg explained why he became a musicain with the catchy "I Like To Sleep Late In The Morning". An excellent, camped-up version of the old Leiber-Stoller rocker, "Idol With the Golden Head", followed. Changing styles again, Bromberg, McDonald and Dickerson sang acappella "The Battle of Bull Run", which became a fiddle-ridden instrumental. I could have listened to them pick all night and jam sessions usually bore the hell out of me. Bromberg's were unusually short, and undeniably sweet. The most mellow song of the evening was "Dehlia" about a "special" prostitute murdered by her pimp. Bromberg performed it alone on the acoustic guitar, and one could see how drilled he was truly a "musician's musician". He had a light and loving touch that made his playing seem almost effortless. It appeared impossible that he could ever play a wrong note. Ha explained the song, adding jokes, bdt remaining sensitive to its sad story. His — vocals were effective, and I don't tee how anyone could really criticize them. Granted, his voice leaves something to be desired, but it fits his music and himself. Play to enjoy The concert continued on in a similar, excellent vein, highlighted by the spirited (You've Got to) "Suffer to Sing the Blues" and the georgeous Ian Tyson tune, "Summer Wages," until 1:11. That's and hour and a half, which he considered a long time to play: "We usually do 'bout an hour and fifteen minutes. Two hours is a long time! You try standing underneath the lights for two hours, and that's a long time, never mind singing ..." Every time a song ended I had a sinking feeling that it was the last, particulary because Bromberg was always taking off one guitar to switch to another instrument. The David Bromberg Band performed "Sweet Home Chicago", a Robert Johnson boogie-blues number, for their first encore. They were called back again by the dancing crowd, most of whom had been on their feet awhile now. They did "What a Town", from the latest album, and Mac Rebennack's "Such A Night" getting everyone to dap and ting alont. (... "If I don't do it somebody else will **) As himself said for "I figure I play Bromberg anybody who comet to enjoy the music."'That included just about everyone who was there on Friday night they came to enjoy, and enjoy they did. ... — f �T wi Master crafts i just a few of Clark content with bel attained the dexterity not has •merge Banning in his home town, St. Louis.

Wailing on the words from My Gal, with the rhythm section periodically howling in the back, Terry started toying with the audience. While talking to the crowd about hi* reckless women, bassist Victor Scolls goosed Terry from behind with his bow. The crowd roared, the quartet cracked up, and the vibe meter hit capacity. Terry left the stage allowing the remaining three to take off. Ronnie Matthews rolled up and down the blues scales while Victor SoolH handed out the Head on baas. The group has been playing on and off for the past five years, and it is obvious, from all the key and tempo changes, that they are consummated musicians. Terry came beck on stage playing a mouthpiece. Wa-waing along with some simple blues riffs, he brought the tune to a screeching climax by reverberating his processed air through the three inches of brass. Clark Tarry is a facile, driving trumpeter. He used half-valve effects, mixed with double-time passages (ala Gillespe) producing a unique style, distinctly his own. On the "Grand Canyon Suite/' after trading licks with Victor Scolls, Terry picked up his fiuglehorn, along with his milled trumpet, and began a question and answer period with the two instruments. The key to Terry's competence as a performer is his diversity. The songs are usually standards or bop (Billie Holiday's "God Blass the Child," Duke Ellington's 'Take the A Train"), and played In a manner which distrupts monotony; some fluglehorn, mumbles, muted trumpet, sing the blues, etc. Many jazz musicians don't extrapolate on that one key instrument, but Clark Terry (and Rahsan Roland Kirk, among others) are constantly changing the mode of presentation, keeping the audience on its toes. The crowd was relaxed and attentive, an aura directly precipitated by the Downtown Room itself. Terry's fabulous rapport with the audience is due to his easy going style and the enjoyment he derives from his work. The man is a pro, and it radiates throughout the performance. All one has to do is see him in action. * Studio Arena Newplay staged Semmelweiss, a powerful new drama by Howard Sackler, Pulitzer Prize-Winning playwright for Th» Gnat White Hope, opens at Studio Arena Theatre on November 4 and run* through the 26th.

The Spectrum. Friday, 28 October 1977 Prodigal Sun �idicule on thi Harriman Studio Moreau, an universally acclaimed actress, wrote and directed Lumiere based on her own life as an actress. Touted as a film "by women, about women, and for women," Moreau misses terribly with the script and the direction. Her characters are lifeless, android. The film is devoid of character development, and while character development is not always necessary (based upon what the director is trying to accomplish), it is essential when characters are introspective and revealing, as they are in Lumiere. That is, there must be depth of "persona" before we can view ''meaning" with respect to characters and have that conveyed to us. As if Moreau does not trust her viewers to think, she clubs us with important statements on existence and life without putting the emphasis where it would have mattered and should have been her characters. — Theater piece meshes song, dance,mime, light displays by Robert G.T. Basil Spectrum Am Staff Through all of this, the all-powerful Fates weave the tapestry that decides th main characters' destinies and, subsequently, the show's ending ... The University of Buffalo community will have thy chance to see the result of Ray Leslee's latest “pipe dream" when Myths: The Tapestry is shown in the Harriman studio from October twenty-seventh to the thirtieth and from November third tc the sixth. Ray Leslee, ..University of Buffalo's "composer-in-residence," collaborated with Steve Porter, the Arts Director of the Allentown Center and guest director here at UB, to form a unique "theatre piece" meshing light displays, dance, song and mime. Dance, mime and music Says Porter, "we liked the idea of the myths because in them the main characters are heroic due Altman, on the other hand, caresses his audience, soothing us into to their actions, as opposed to their words or the flow of the film, trusting us to derive meaning with the cognitive thoughts, and a story with a lot of action is naturally cinematic tools he provides.

Leslee prefers to be called a disgusting hedonist. These four are frightened and for the most part "modern composer" and combines characteristics of jazz, rock and classical into his compositions.

This Is not the first time they have combined talents. They have put on Jesus Christ Superstar, in which Porter choreographed the dancing and Leslee directed the music, while writing some of his own also. They won the "Focus Award" for the best in children's theatre with their original theatre piece; Julius and the Dragoon. Myths is based on Edith Hamilton's A tlanta, her version of an ancient Greek tale, Leslee thought that an ancient myth would act as the perfect emphasizing music and mime. Says Porter, "Although we essentially borrowed from Atlanta, we did utilize many other sources as well." . Myths is the story of Althea (played by Elise Pearlman] and her child, Meleager. According to Artemis, the spirit, Meleager will be killed if a certain log is thrown into a fire, so Althea hides the log for many years. After Meleager grows up to be a handsome young man, Althea commissions la lavage boar to terrorize the village for desecrating her temple.

Slim, who plays with a firm left hand and a rag-flavored right, has been laying down sides on his own since he recorded as Dr. Clayton's Buddy for RCA-Victor, and is one of the most respected members of the Chicago Mum community. Sunnyland Slim's fans include the members of Canned Heat, who used Slim on some of their sessions and who backed Slim on port of an album that was recorded for World Pacific Records. Another sideman on that album was one Mick Taylor, who was still with John Mayall at the time.

S6.00/S5/S4.00 Prodigal Sun �Hocir by Tim Swltaia *. nroll can be hazardous to your health event that sent Elvis fans flocking to buy Spectrum Music Staff albums, On Thursday evening, October 20, 1977, four members of the Lynyrd Skynyrd organization; lead singer Ronnie Van Zandt, guitarist Steve, Gaines, his sister, vocalist Cassie Gaines, and road manager Dean Kilpatrick were killed when their twin engine plane crashed just outside of Gillsburg, Mississippi. This incident marks the fifth time in the history of rock music that musicians of the genre were killed in plane crashes. The deaths of the three members of Lynyrd Skynyrd also brings the total of rock musicians to die in the past two months to five. It's been barely a month since a London car crash took the life of British rock singer Marc Bolan on September 16. Born Mark Feld, Bolan fjrst became recognized as half of an acoustic duet called Tyrannosaurus Rex. Teamed with a percussionist named Steve Peregrine Took, Tyrannosaurus Rex issued two acoustic albums that were based upon Bolan's private heavily mythologies. The later substitution of Mickey Fin for Took eventually lead to the electric transition from gentle folkiness to a rock, bop, and roll excitement, appropriately abbreviated T. Rex. In just over three years, Bolan and T. Rex sold over 37,000,000 records, mostly in Britain, Scandanavia, the Far East, and Australia. Although he recently launched a hit television series in Britain, indicative of his productivity in Europe, Bolan's death gained little attention in the United States. Just as they did during Bolan's highpoint, T. Rex albums remain perspective cut-out buys in this country. A month before this, the world virtually exploded when a,Mississippi boy named Elvis Presley passed away on August 16 of "cardia arrythmia," an irregular heartbeat. Extensive media coverage followed the • - The King was dead, and the attention he received was fit for one, eclipsing the deaths of all who passed before him. The death of the members of Lynyrd Skynyrd in a plane crash force ominous flashbacks to parallel incidents that have previously taken the lives of past rock musicians. On February 2, 1959, Buddy Holly and Big Bopper, and 17-year-old Richie Valens were killed when their plane crashed minutes after take-off from Mason City Airport in North Carolina. On December 10, 1967, Otis Redding and four members of the Barkays that were touring with him were killed as they crashed onto an icy lake near Madison, Wisconsin. Other air tragedies have taken the lives of Bill Chase, and most of the members of his group Chase (remember the hit "Get It On") as well as that of song/poet Jim Croce. Add to this list (which includes all of the more noted mishaps; Jim Morrison, heart attack, 1971; Janis Joplin, heroin overdose, 1970; Jimi Hendrix, inhalation of vomit following barbituate intoxication, 1970; Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones, "misadventure," found in swimming pool), some of the lesser publicized deaths, and you find the rock music industry to have been extemely hard hit in its brief 20 years.

Music a love soup - stirs - potions for life. — Mojo What we have been (and will be) discussing here, obviously, is cross-currents. From relatively small but securing record labels to overseas companies unveiling long lost and unknown classics, it is a world venture, this spreading, surveying Music. Among the many epochs of his career is a recent wind timbred movement released thru the Italian label. Timeless. Icih-Bsn is a fleet ballet stepping with the blood of multi-cultural veins in ritual. Featuring a fine rendition of Woody's "Moontrane" (written for John Coltrane, it bears equally strong affinities to 'Take The A Train" of Strayhorn/EHington fame), it highlights the empathy that the Music produces/is produced from. From Ronnie Matthews' classically sensitive touch purs Mackvelvet piano (and the title tune). Stafford James, a bassist who once played with Sun Ra, sends sheer electric streams via acoustic expertise. Junior Cook burns on tenor with assured sonority, while Louis Hayes' drums are as a million explosions laced for your release. Completing this ensemble is Guilherme Franco, maestro of the Percussion of the Ages. McCoy Tyner knows. Musk forms resurgent, integral waters. Here we are. 1960. A sweet tone of trumpet purges the harshness like a kiss, blowing the winds of coy affection whose core is bolder that momentary distraction. With an affinity to Miles' tone and a boilingly articulate approach that could even make Clifford Brown pause, Booker Little's brief but potent legacy becomes even more permanent thru the courtesy of the British Island Records. The Legendary Quartet Album unveils the balladeer's depth that his artistry brought to jjs, an ability to make us cry in shame and laugh as we confront our follies, gaining wisdom. With Booker are two pianistic maters. Tommy Flanagan and the tapdancing Wyhton Kelly. On drums is the perennial Roy Haynes, while the bassviolin is strummed by Scott La Faro, whose peerless {playing and abrupt passing (as well as Booker's) sent repercussive shock waves that are felt to this day. The searching cry of tearful, determined timet surely gathered to produce the hauntingly beautiful rendition of "Who Can I Turn To," while the bright opening of "Life's A Little Blue" finds Booker and Scott steering the Music straight ahead for the frontiers. Warm journey awaits you. The trails and trails that people like Booker took and underwent are appreciated, perhaps, strongest by those who continued his work. One gentleman whose approach powerfully summons the varied aesthetics of worldview, indeed, premiered with Eric Dolphy (Douglas Records) two years after Eric's classic Five Spot concerts with Booker (Prestige). Woody Shaw is a sonnet's eye from whose Universe springs the poem of percussively warm Music. His Blackstone Legacy & Song of Songs (Contemporary) reveal Miltonic brass (now for Muse) dancing thru Society's waiting streets. His social Prodigal Sun A strong gathering place of th Music is the Creative Music Studio in Woodstock, N.Y. A center to develop an all-around aptitude of the Creative Musicks and the World it comes from (or has to deal with: see The Spectrum, 10/14, pg.17), its potency can be viewed by way of its instructive exponents: Anthony Braxton, Sam Rivers, Don Cherry, Lao Smith, and many more. (Contributions are welcome. Write CMS, ROB 671, Woodstock, N.Y. 12498). A prime document of the virtuosity and color of this Foundation is The Peace Church Concerts (available thru India Navigation, a fast growing record prominence in yriiat is the coming Musk).. A Muun (Music Universe) of earth and wind chambered acstacy, the ringing units of this movement run from the Studio's Originator, vibeswizard Karl Berger, to his highly vocal lady Ing Rid, the electracoustic synthsizer of Richard Teitlebaum, the bossviolin caress of David Holland, the trombonic Tam of Garrett List and so much more. Channeled via Ing RM's high word poetics, these natural springs bubble effervescency with a life that no artificial powder can dust away. Labeled Volume 1 el the Creative Music Communication series (CMC), we can only hope for extreme continuation. India Navigation, meanwhile, is placing more and more of the rarely recorded•Masters to work on their label. From David Murray, whose tenor linguistics roar with a dear insistency once thought to be an Albert Ayler monopoly (Note: His album is entitled Flowers For Albert) to the baritone fire twirl of Hamiet Bluiett (Endangered Species), or the elastic wide-ranged alto of Arthur Blythe (whose superb LP, The Grip, indudes the Sun Ra trumpet shine of Ahmed Abdullah), IN Is fast matching the recording artistry that such as the now-departed ESP label possessed. Among the latest from IN is the Leroy Jenkins Solo Concert. A masterwork of the AACM violinist's gentleness and pyrotechnic skill, Leroy (vdto also instructs at the CMS) brings all the romantic play of the archetypal Fiddler to bear. From the fiercely refined voyages of "Lush Life" to the ins|0it (like Booker on "Who Can I Ti urn To") of "Nobody Knows De Trouble I Seen", it is an intensely personal warmth that plucks and plays on your heartstrings. Why you are here. One For Lady. One Catalyst for die Lady Day of the blues bouquet and lovers'sway. Billie Holiday. One for Lady Kiniko Kasai, a rich vocal blossom of the Rising Sun (Japan). She caresses each tune with a sweet, seductive energy that tendon. Innocence Rowing in fertility. Nature. I believe, is the plane. A hint of Sarah Vaulin touches from her lips, as well as Billie, yet the Mai Waldron, the pianist who accompanied Billie in the late 60s, plays grand scheme in the enactment of this musical dream. His playing with Eric Oolphy and Booker Little shows at key points, making one suddenly think of a faraway horn whose play drifts on the moonlight The shine is dramatically engaged as well by the rich fingerpainting of bassviolinist Yoshio Suguki and the sand tapestries of drummer Hiroshi Murakami. The empathy these four share produces a warmth and searching strength that only true balladeers may dare. They play the Music, and not a toyed-with notion that ballads are stagnant or are only to be done boringly. TTtat't a lie, like the one that the blues am only a sod tong. Listen. The Words contain more voice than even they know, and, if depicting a factual plight may convey a means to end it and grow right if only by the surging smile and full-bodied charm, suggestive thru a tome prevalent in �his Music and the people.

The audience isn’t very surprised, they’re used to the ‘‘avant garde” films shown by the Center for Media Study (CMS), Started in 1972 under the direction of Gerald O’Grady, the center is one of the most progressive in the country. The New York Tlmei Hitcher Education Supplement said, “Film needs to be grasped within the framework of media centers, able to join creative and theoretical work in a fluid and ceaselessly responsive way; the widely acclaimed model of such a center is the one set up by Gerald O’Grady at the State University of New York at Buffalo.” CMS is unlike any other department at this school, dealing with the technical study and production of film and video as well as theory, history and psychic and social effects of media. Director Gerald O'Grady sees the diversity of this school as an advantage to the department. “We're anxious for our students to take courses in other ureas and we welcome students from other departments,” he stated. O’Grudy's belief in the importance of media people pursuing other studies is reflected in the Media Center’s faculty. Highly acclaimed artists Tony Conrad, a filmmaker now teaching several courses with CMS, hold* a math degree and is an accomplished musician and composer. Brian Henderson, another film teacher, has studied Philosophy, Law and Psychology, Prize video teacher Woody Vasulka is also an electrical engineer. His wife, Steina teaches video and is a concert violinist. Johana Gill, in the Rockefeller Foundation Working Papers wrote; “He (Gerald O’Grady) has assembled a faculty that includes some of the most interesting people working in film and video today.” CMS has about ten full-time faculty members and hosts frequent visiting artists. Gerald O’Grady stated that at CMS, a student not only has a chance to become versed in technical know-how important in Job-getting, he can also develop himself as an artist. In defense of this position, O’Grady pointed out the uncanny ability of media students to get jobs and have their work viewed publicly. Scott Nygren, now completing his doctorate degree in the English Department, has accepted a position to direct the film program at the Universty of Toledo. Alan Williams, holding a French department doctorate, has accepted a teaching position at the University of Iowa. Many students who have had training at the Media Center, receiving undergraduate degrees in 1976 are now enjoying international recognition. Andrej Zdravic’s work is being shown at the Canyorl Cinema in California. Gail Camhi’s “Coffee Break,” a film shot in this University’s payroll office is being shown at the Collective for Living Cinema in New York City. Glen Muschio won a “Best Documentary Video" award at the Athens International Film Festival. The Cracow, Poland International Film Festival will include a film by David Steward, another 1976 graduate.

The Center’s inability to give degrees has not slowed enrollments. 335 undergraduates and 170 graduates were enrolled during the two 76-77 semesters and the summer sessions.

Certainly the definition of the term: “The leaders in new movements,” does little to broaden the avant-garde’s appeal. One is very often easily intimidated by these leaders, for they operate on the fringes of accepted artistic expression. Admittedly, their art is not directed at a mass audience; in both method and subject, it is a more personal and, at times, more intentionally obscure form than, say, commercial film or theater. Understandably, then, one approaches avant-garde art with a certain amount of hesitancy, and is indeed relieved to meet someone like JJ. Murphy. Murphy, a young filmmaker, was on hand last Thursday at the Albright-Knox Gallery in the second event in the Evenings For New Film series. Accurate yet unreal He is a quiet, engaging person, seeming to be out of place leading a discussion, yet more than willing to explain the ideas on which his films are based. “There is no message in my films,” he said, “insofar as something which could be stated.” His first film. Sky Blue Water Light Sign, seemed to bear this out. It is, quite literally, a color film of a “light sign,” an advertising display which, in this case, was used to promote a mid-western beer. “From The Land of Sky Blue Water,” the slogan goes, and, indeed, for nine minutes one watches a long, slow pan along the banks of a stream. The color and movement of the water in the stream has an eerie, unsettling quality to it. Although the setting is a calm one, the image appears to be accurate, yet unreal. The second film of the evening. Print Generation is a further attempt at what Murphy called “a different kind of film experience.” The movie, which was awarded the Centre Experimental du Cinema Prize in 1975, is comprised of 60 images, each lasting one second, and undergoing fifty consecutive “generations,” that is, a reproduction of the image in whcih each consecutive image is used as the negative for the next. As the number of prints increases, the quality of the image deteriorates, resulting in a picture wherein only the points of greatest light reflection are seen. “The film is about perception,” Murphy said afterwards, “and the thing? we have been programmed to expect from a film.” Once again, there is no message. Instead different emotions are evoked. The distorted images at the beginning of the film are both threatening and beautiful.“As they become dearer, and we begin to recognize the things we are looking at, their beauty fades, and is replaced by a feeling of calm reassurance. The second half of the film is a repetition of the first half, this time run in reverse. Thus, we already know how the movie will progress, and we must view the images with, as Murphy puts it; “A concern for a metapoetry engaging cognition and memory.” The facts: Utah Phillips and Rosalie Sorrels are double-barreled bill at this week's UUAB Coffeehouse, tonight and tomorrow night at 8:30 p.m. in Squire Hall’s 1st Floor Cafeteria. If knowing that has you scurrying off right now to the Squire Ticket Office for your ducats, you’ve probably stopped reading by now. Which is fine: nothing will be said here that you don’t know. If, on the other hand, your idea of folk musician is James Taylor, read on and get yourself educated. “I hate folk music,” began a recent record review in a magazine I won’t name (an audio rag which discusses music itself as an apparent sideline). Critic goes on to bewail the surfeit of longhaired young things moaning over their guitars, afflicted with terminal sensitivity and yearning to breathe Committed Critic’s words, mostly. That’s not, and never was, folk music. Much, much closer to the real thing about as close an anyone gets to it is the fare served up by Utah Phillips and Rosalie Sorrels. the - - — Great historical bum As Clark Kent i to Superman, Bruce Phillips is to “U. Utah Phillips, the Golden Voice of the Great Southwest.” Bruce Phillips spent a good part of his life hopping trains from one end of the country to t’other, helping build a railroad, washing dishes in Yellowstone, organizing for the Wobblics the International workers of the World, Joe Hill’s union and, yes, “running either for or from the Senate on the Peace and Freedom Party ticket, all the while singing and playing my guitar as a kind of diversionary activity.” Phillips was probably pinned best by one of his buddies, singer Luke Baldwin: “Utah is the guy who has lied and punned his way through an unending string of festivals, coffeehouses and bars. But Bruce has done the real bumming, organizing, gandy dancing and dishwashing. Utah drinks the whiskey. Bruce has the ulcer.” And maybe the most important distinction: “Bruce writes the songs.” The songs “I sing songs about bums, trains, unions, politicians, the old and new West, and all the different things that happen to you when you’re in love.” His songs are direct and honest, and they set before you the places and the people he sings of; cowboys too old to do anything but cook (‘The Goodnight Loving Trail”), memories of old love (“I Remember Loving You”), the faded glories of the railroads (“Daddy, What’s a Train?”). They’re reminiscent of the songs of another union man, Woody hobo, and friend of folty in hard times Guthrie. But Utah Phillips, Bruce Phillips, whoever — — ... - he is, is his own man Another scion of Salt Lake City pot started musically about the same time as Utah: Rosalie Sorrels, who left the straight life that of a housewife, in her case back in Idaho, ("but." she says, “I discovered Malcolm Lowry, Wild Turkey, and Routes 80 and 90.”) She also discovered music, and she’s been singing everywhere folksong is welcome (and probably more than a few places i! isn’t she’s hard not to want to welcome) ever — since. Many musicians are liked, admired, or praised Rosalie is all of these, and more; she is loved by those who hear her, and I don't know of any musician any other artist at all who inspires that kind of devotion. Rosalie has earned that devotion. Commitment is an easy word to bandy around, but Rosalie is one of the exceptions that disprove;: the cliche. She’s edited What, Woman, and Who. Myself, I aAm, a book of women’s,songs and poetry, mirroring the lines of artist and woman that cross in — - her. Heart poetry they Where Utah’s songs read tike folksongs seem to have been around for years Rosalie's read more like *‘legitimate” poetry, and fine poetry a( that. (A song like “In the Quiet Country of Your Eyes," can knock you out just in the reading of it. and hearing it is a glory.) She can also come up with something as tuneless as her baby-rocking songs, ‘The Baby Tree,” and ‘This Is The Day Wc Give Babies Away” (the latter for hostile moods). They speak deeply of her heart, and the hearts of many others. Rosalie Sorrels and Utah Phillips gave each other a lot of the encouragement that a musician needs to find his own voice. They’ve come from many of the same places, seen many of the same things. (They even record for the same label, Philo Records.) They usually have a hell of a good time when their paths cross and the feeling goes around for everyone to sample, like the bottle of Jack Daniels that passed from hand to hand at that party remember? Christ, you might even learn something from these hard-nosed characters no mistake, they have a great deal to say.

The movie is an attempt to show the relation between the “still’* and “moving” picture media. Through some technical reworking, Murphy has succeeded in using “still” unages as movie footage, and movie footage as “still” images. There is no real “motion” in the film. The only “motion” that occurs is the deepening in tone of a series of movie frames which have been photographed with an instant developing camera. Unfortunately, though, the images he has chosen to present lack any intrinsic interest. Thus, Movie Stills is a film which is more attractive in theory than it is in practice. - proudly present THE CRUSADERS with special guest saxophonist GARY BfiRTZ Saturday, October 29th r>, - 8:00 Sheas Buffalo Theatre Get Your Tickets Today! <gis> TICKETSi Students *5.50. *4 50. >3.50 aH others S' day of show | i DIXIE |K boulevar LJSb*o 0 SUD /TT\ BOARD 7DOHE.

Although only five feet eight tall, Piccone was inches determined to play pro ball, and he fought adversity to become one of the scrapiest players in the National Football League (NFL). played collegiate Piccone football at West Liberty State, in Wheeling, West Virginia. Lou led West Liberty State to the National of Intercollegiate Association Athletics championship in 1971, starring as an all purpose running back. “I never thought about professional football while in college. The pro scouts were not very high on a 170 pound small running back,” said Piccone. The former New York Jet graduated with a speech degree and began teaching in Vineland, New Jersey. Piccone taught sixth and seventh grade in a school where the total enrollment was about 200 kids. One half year later Piccone was contacted to try out for a semi-pro team from Youngstown, Ohio, which played , in the Midwest Football Conference. Youngstown The coach approached Piccone and asked if he wanted to play pro football. Piccone corrected him. “You mean semi pro ball.” The idea of returning to football thrilled Piccone. When he asked the coach “ what they were going to pay, the coach replied, $50 to start and $30 if you don’t play a game.” At first, Lou felt it was ridiculous to give up a secure teaching position for one last gasp of football. ‘The turning point in my decision to play for Youngstown was because the coach assured me the games are scouted heavily by NFL teams,” explained Piccone. but he wrote to all 26 teams in the NFL. Lou said, ‘The reply I got war a thanks but no thanks attitude.” Piccone returned for his second season as a starter. During the off season he taught school and worked out four to five hours a day. “1 basically worked on my speed, and improved to get it under 4.5,” added Piccone. Maximum potential Lou was driven to find out his maximum athletic potential. “I want to see how far I can go, and at the same time try to compete against the best,” said Piccone. Piccone began to work out for four to five hours a day. “It was a One day affair Piccone later received free agent tryout offers from the Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Redskins, following a solid second season. “In both and Washington, Philadelphia there wete 400 to 500 guys on one field. It was a public relations ploy to give anyone a chance. It was a one day affair, with many free agent hopefuls coming from all parts of the country,” explained Piccone. “Only two per cent of an NFL team is made up of free agents, so my chances were slim. In both Philadelphia and Washington 1 was told 1 was a good athlete, but wasn’t offered a contract. Speed was my asset, and 1 was searching for the truth. 1 was looking for an answer to the question: can 1 play football professionally?” said Piccone. Lou continued his conditioning program, hoping for a chance to find the answer about his athletic potential. ’’After my third year in very rigorous program, but 1 had get to into great physical condition,” stated Piccone. “My father thought I was crazy and too small, but my determination took the cake and my father joined in and started to help.” Piccone played three years in Youngstown. Piccone was used both as a running back and a receiver. His speed was clocked at 4.5 in the 40 yard dash, which is similar to many NFL receivers’ speed. “In Youngstown, there were quality athletes, but little quality in the coaching department. Many players were pro cuts but the system we played under wasn’t very sophisticated,” said Piccone. After his first season, Piccone wasn't contacted by any scouts. Youngstown, I participated in yet ‘LOOKING FOR MR. GOODBAR’ IS ONE OF THE STRONGEST MOTION PICTURES EVER MADE—AND ONE OF THE BEST!

The defeat surprised no one. Actually, Buffalo was delighted to win two matches from Syracuse, the number two ranked team in the state. The two wins were particularly significant for the Bulls. Senior Sharon Ackerman ended her collegiate career by beating Orangeworn an Conny Ball 6-1, 6-4. The win also evened Ackerman’s personal record 3-3. For second doubles players Lynda Stidham and Lynne Kirchmaier, it was an incredible year. The two freshmen sealed their undefeated season with a marvelously played 6-1,6-2 win over SlTs Nancy Packer and Sheri Ross, their tenth consecutive victory. Stidham, the playmaker of the duo, was nearly perfect in placing her shots. Kirchmaier, too, had a fine day. “I’ve never played that well,” she said. ‘They were really good competition.” • Syracuse kicks Rugby club by Paul C. Kruger Meyer then completed the conversion kick and put UB ahead 6-0. But this sudden score didn’t take any steam out of the Syracuse drive. After kicking off to the Bulls, the Orangemen forced a penalty deep in UB territory. A penalty kick was awarded, and Syracuse easily converted it to shorten the Bulls’ lead to 6-3 at the half. Spectrum Staff Writer Last Saturday, playing against one of the finest teams in the state, the UB Rugby Club suffered a loss of 15-6 to Syracuse University. With Buffalo kicking off, the Orangemen found themselves in trouble early in the game. Due to the hard hitting of the much improved UB backfield, the Syracuse ruggers found it extremely difficult to Quiet second half advance the ball out of their own territory. The second half didn’t open quite as explosively In rugby, the play is not stopped to allow the as the first. Both teams were exhausted and played a offense and defense to set up position. All fairly even match. With approximately 20 minutes movement is spontaneous. Once a player is tackled, left in the game, the efforts of the well-disciplined be must release the ball on the ground and hope that Syracuse squad paid off. hit forwards (scmmmers) are able to regain The Orangemen moved to within five yards of possession of the baR the UB goal line. On the first three advances to the goal, the Orangemen were denied. Finally, on the Orangemen penalized fourth surge, Syracuse found an opening and Five minutes into the game, the Orangemen touched the ball down for a four point try. The were penalized just outside their own 25 yard mark. conversion kick was good and Syracuse took a 9-6 Since the infraction was an intentional forward pass, the Bulls were awarded a penalty kick. In a penalty kick situation, the team awarded the kick can either attempt a field goal or resume play with possession of the ball The Bulls chose the latter and fly-half Brian Prayer pop-kicked the ball to the defending Syracuse team. In rugby, the pop-kick is an extremely potent offensive play. By kicking the ball extremely high, the forwards can race down the field to either gang tackle the defending player, or catch the ball themselves. In this manner, UB regained possession and passed the ball out to strong-side wing Sean Duffy. Duffy then slipped through the Orangemen and scored Buffalo’s first and only try. Fullback Scott lead and never looked back. The Bulls were awarded two more penalty kicks at goal but missed both. The game ended with Syracuse scoring another try to make the final score of 15-6. Coach Mike Regan attributed the loss to the discipline of the Syracuse side. He indicated that a major weakness in Saturday's game was the scrum. The Bulls’ recent acquisition of a scrum coach should improve their game trerpendously. The rugby team kicks off this Saturday at Niagara University at 1 p.m. The club is still looking for new members; no experience is required.

Memorable moments Mimi Weiss finished her first season at UB with a 9-3 record, losing to Betsey Gottleib, winner of the New York State Championship, 6-0, 6-2. Co-captain April Zolczer, who climbed from fourth singles on opening day to second singles, also logged a 9-3 mark, and number one doubles players Kris Schum and Judy Wisniewski were 8-3 on the year. For rookie coach Connie Camnitz, there were several memorable moments during the year. Camnitz felt the win against cross town rival Buffalo State was especially enjoyable. The Big Four Championship, also over Buffalo State, was another big win. The trouble with this season lay in the fact that the Bulls rarelyhad a close match. “Either they wecc realty strong or too inexperienced,’’ explained freshman Barb Zdybowicz. The Bulls won four matches by shutouts and two by 6-1 scores. Next season there may be some tougher foes on the schedule.

Projected to be transformed into wet lab facilities for the Medical School, Foster Hall has gained additional significance in that it has become a symbol of the entire rehabilitation project planned for the Main Street Campus, and the Medical School in particular. According to Associate Vice President of the Faculty of Health Sciences, Dr. Donald R. Larson, the state's attitude toward the Foster Hall remodeling program may well be indicative of its posture towards the whole rehabilitation project. Funding for the project has been approved by the State Legislature, but has been tied up in the offices of the Division of the Budget (DOB) in Albany for more than two years with no entanglement in sight. Meanwhile, the Medical School and the School of Health Related Professions have been experiencing a critical lack of both facilities and space. The Medical School's problems have been compounded by the fact that an Accreditation Committee, which, visited the school last year, recognized the severity of the problem and urged that immediate steps be taken to rectify the situation. The Committee, which is not due back until 1980, has aked that a report be filed with them this year informing them of the progress being made in alleviating the situation. “Foster Hah play* an integral part in the ultimate solution to this space problem," said Larson. In addition to providing additional wet lab space for faculty and students, it will diminish some of the pressure involved in transferring people from building to building as other structures are rennovated. hven if the monies for renovation were released today, the transformation of Foster Hall into a laboratory facility would still be years away. Vice President for Facilities and Planning, Dr. John Telfer, points out, the actual design of the building by an architect has not even been started yet, as the architect cannot be hired until the mones is released. The design process would probably take close to a year to complete, and it would be a minimum of two years before the contractor completed the physical labor. This means that it will be at least three years before the building would be ready for use. “The Health Sciences Library, which is of critical importance to the future of the School of Health Related Professions, is also undergoing a severe space problem,” said Larson. Originally placed in Kimball Tower for a maximum period of five years to allow other rennovation projects to be completed, the library is in its fourth year at Kimball. According to Larson, the library is presently inadequate for student-faculty needs in that there simply isn’t enough available space to house all of its collections. A comprehensive Bio-Mcdical information center, which would encompass the Health Sciences Library, is on the drawing board but since it, too, would require funding from the state, its future is also inextricably bound with that of Foster Hall. There are some'Vennovations in progress on the Main Street Campus. Presently, half of the fourth, and all of the fifth, sixth, and seventh floors of Kimball Tower are being refurbished for the School of Health Related Professions. The money for this project, however, was obtained not from the state, but through one of the few federal grants obtained by the School. No definitive reason for the delay in the disbursement of the monies for Foster Hall has been given by the State. Although bureaucratic red tape is often suggested as the reason behind tangles, Larson points out the present financial condition of the State is probably the real culprit. Non-profit FSA shows gain by Joel Mayersohn Staff Writer Spectrum The non-profit Faculty-Student Association (FSA), showed a profit of $66,000 for the 1976-77 fiscal year, according to Assistant Vice President for Housing and Auxiliary enterprises Len Snyder, an influencial board member. Despite the gain, Snyder, said he saw no irregularities in the corporation’s finances. “We (FSA) need a cushion sufficiently large to support a corporation of this size,” Snyder said, “FSA operates under the-guidelines for capital set forth by the State of New York. ” Student Association (SA) F xe cut ive Vice President Andy Lalonde claimed, “In theory, FSA is a non-profit corporation of the State University.” The corporation is with the means to serve the students and its official responsibility is to maintain the facilities and provide for their replacement. FSA provides essential services to the students, faculty and the Administration, including Food Service, campus bookstores and recreation activities.” A difference of opinion exists among the FSA Board members concerning whose interests the corporation serves, and to what extent students are being served. Snyder feels that “in the 5 years I have been with FSA, the corporation has been open to anyone interested in finding out about FSA. We try to make ourselves aware of student needs. We read The S/H'ctrum and constantly seek out student opinions. We serve the students as best as we can within our financial constraints. “Lots of our policies are the result of student inputs,” said Snyder. He pointed to the voluntary beard contract and the use of recyclable materials in Food Service areas as examples. Lalonde felt the corporation could de better “FSA is a business and in that sense they had to serve the people in the corporation, but FSA could definitely be more receptive to student needs,” he said. Both SA President Dennis Delia and Lalonde Radiation screening: more harm than good that all the units in FSA are basically autonomous. Delia state that “the board is a facade. There are no students in units to make decisions.” Delia accused the board of hearing controversial items only "after action has been taken." Delia referred, in particular, to the “surcharge” placed on board contract students at the end of last semester. FSA Board Member and Treasurer Fdward Doty to Delia is not saying “It the responded responsibility of the board to delve into the minute agreed details of each unit.” Food Service, one of the units of FSA, showed a profit of 544,000. When asked to justify this year’s contract and cash price increases, given last year’s profits, Director of Food Service Don Hosie replied, “We have to respond to price increases. The cost of many of our products have risen substanially.” Hosie also pointed out that “about half our profit ($22,500) came from our Ridge Lea facility which is now being phased out.” FSA’s major debit has been the Norton (Stjuire) Hall Division. Last year it showed a net loss of $15,446, with the Creative Craft Center losing $27,000. “Norton has undergone numerous changes and their operation has been tailored.” Snyder said, “The craft center must become less of a financial burden to the Norton Hall Division if they are to continuCto exist in the present state.” The future of FSA at present is in a state of flux, Snyder claimed, “FSA is doing its best to respond to student needs while students are commuting between three campuses. Our whole operation is made more complex by split services and as that decreases we will be more responsible to student needs. The fewer disruptions, the greater the service.” Lalonde agreed that the transition state of the University has hindered FSA’s operations. He also felt that as “Albany puts more constraints on FSA, they will be forced to cut back more and offer less services.” The best thing for FSA, said Lalonde, “would be the development of some competition.” The corporation currently owns a monopoly on the services it provides. by Michael O’Shea Staff Writer Spectrum Mass radiation screenings by the American Cancer Society (ACS) were causing more breast cancer than they were helping to cure, according to a Roswell Park cancer expert's testimony before a Senate committee last June. The expert, Irwin Brass, Director of Biostatistics at Roswell, announced his findings almost two years ago. This spring, "instead of being awarded the Nobel Prize for research,” Brass said his research grant from the National Cancer Institute was cancelled. Brass had been funded for eight straight years. The mass radiation screenings were done on over a quarter of a million women and consisted of a mammogram in order to determine whether or not she had breast cancer. The advantage of the mammograms is that by detecting the breast cancer early, the woman has an 80 percent chance of being cured. There are, however, several other ways of detecting breast cancer. One of the signs of breast cancer is the appearance of a lump on the breast, easily detectable upon self-examination. Another method of detecting breast cancer is to have a biopsy performed which, as Dr. Brass stated, “when done by a good surgeon is just as reliable, as any mammogram.” Radiation and breast cancer Brass went on to say that the mass screening procedure benefits approximately three women out of every ten thousand whereas the number of women getting cancer as a result of the exposure to this radiation could be as many as 100 per ten thousand women. If the three women who did benefit from the mammograms had waited another year until the tumor was palpable, their chances of being cured would have been reduced by 30 percent, he theorized. The problem with the mammograms, as already noted, is that theradiation received by the woman is enough to cause cancer. Unfortunately, cancer of this sort cannot be detected until about years after the initial exposure. Because of this, there is no way of telling which of the women who received the ACS screening have cancer and which do not. fifteen Glamour tech Since the program was initiated, serious objections have been raised at the same time 250 women were participating. “America has a hopeless infatuation with the glamour of technology,” Bross said in explaining the popularity of such a program. He warned that, “You can't play with technology when hazard is involved, which it always is.” According to Bross, “The whole problem boils down to the if the woman has more to lose by weighing of cost against benefit - being exposed to the radiation than she has to gain, then she should not receive a mammogram.” Apparently, most women do indeed have much more to lose than to gain. In 1972, the National Academy of Sciences released a report entitled, “Biological Hffects of Ionizing Radiation.” The report studied the effects of high levels of radiation exposure used for therapeutic purposes. By means of linear extrapolation (a statistical method used to theoretically determine the effects of low level radiation from higher levels) the report stated that the mammograms were relatively safe: Magazine advertisements followed in which a radiologist boasted that the benefit-cost ratio of mammography was one hundred and twenty-five to one. Bad mammograms In 1975, a member of the National Cancer Institute (NCI), John Bailer, announced that the actual benefit-cost ratio was one to one. Shortly afterward, Bross produced concrete evidence that the benefit-cost ratio was at least one to four and called for drastic revision of the ACS program, restricting the mammograms to women of age fifty or older. Needless to say, his announcement did not go unnoticed The ACS, NCI, and the Knergy Research Development Administration, the ACS being the worst of among others, raised vehement protest the lot because in Bross’ words, "they set up the mammography program in order to capitalize on it. " Repercussions Today, nearly two years later, Bross is still feeling the repercussions of his announcement. This spring, after eight straight years of funding, Bross’ research grant from the NCI, which included studies of the effects of radiation, was denied Bross feels that there is a direct relationship between his findingswand the denial of his grant by the NCI, A spokesman from the NCI was even quoted as stating that the denial of Bross’ grant was a result ol his findings on the effects of radiation. The entire matter is currently being investigated by several Congressional committees. Bross, himself, feels that the denial of his grant was no outrage and stated simply, “1 don’t feel personally affected by the NCI decision the real crime is that the public was denied the truth. My duty is to the public good first and to science second,” �Alleviating the floods A different way to warm up at the Ellicott Complex to by Stephanie Maier Spectrum Staff Writer by Aim Bryan S/H'drum Staff Writer The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Hydraulic Department has instituted an Hllicott Creek Flood Control Project, which will divert water from the Amherst Campus site to prevent future flooding. According to Section Chief of the Project Kesavarao Yala man chili, “help is on the way” to alleviate flooding aL the Hllicott Complex. He reported that the first phase of the project, extending from Tonawanda Creek to Pfohl Park, will begin in the summer of 1979. The entire project is hoped to be completed in 1982. The project will extend from Ellicott Creek Park to Maple Road. Some of the water in Hllicott Creek Park will be diverted into Tonawanda Creek. Yalamanchili said that a diversion channel will also be built at Pfohl Park, downstream from the campus, and that the Corps is also proposing to enlarge the creek through the campus. Another diversion channel project is being planned upstream at Maple Road and Millersport Highway. He continued that the project will protect the area all along Hllicott Creek from flooding. Yalamanchili stressed that the control project is a top priority job and that several meetings have already been held by the Corps of Engineers to specify the plans. Construction not hampered Despite the flooding, construction at the Amherst Campus has not been seriously hampered, according to Vice President of Facilities Planning John Telfer. The construction schedule is proceeding as planned, with no serious setbacks, due to the fact that “the schedules anticipate weather problems.” Because the construction workers only get paid for the days they work, no money is lost on days when construction is halted, said Telfer. On the construction site, a spokesman for Sasaki Associates, the construction compan, agreed that building construction has not been hampered, but that road construction has. He stated that there is “slowed construction with no earth work possible." estimating that the road work has been set back a month. He claimed that there has been some financial loss but could not give a definite figure. The spokesman also stated that it had been necessary to "knock some crews off" of the project because t>f the heavy rain (5.74 inches in September, 2 inches above normal, according to the National Weather Service). Independents seek recognition 9 Awareness program to aid the handicapped An organization called the “Independents," composed of handicapped and non-handicapped people has filed for official recognition by the Student Association (SA). The recognition decision will be made at the next Student Senate meeting on Oct. 27. The group, whose state goal is to “create an awareness of the capabilities and strengths of handicapped persons on this campus” and to further the “human and legal rights of handicapped members of the University,” has been operating in an unofficial capacity since last year. According to Secretary Cunthia Sitcov-Mermelstein, the group met ten times last year and three times so far this semester. The last meeting attracted 18 people and significantly, Sitcov-Mermelstein revealed, half of those people weren’t handicapped. Awareness program According to Sitcov-Mermelstein, “The Independents are undertaking a program to pursue their rights under state and federal law. The President of the group, Wanda Miller, added that the Independents will approach the problem from two ends, one being a “legal viewpoint,” and the other creating an awareness among the non-handicapped. The awareness program will include an “Awareness Week.” during which workshops will be set up, guest speakers will be invited, and an attempt will be made to teach the non-handicapped community about the handicapped. According to Sitcov-Mermelstein, “We are going to become visible. We are going to take some positive action in terms of making sure that section 504 is abided by.” 504 is the section of federal law that requires this university to make itself accessible to the handicapped within three years. The administration has been cooperating to some extent, reported Sitcov-Mermelstein. “The Office of Services to the Handicapped has been fantastic, but Facilities Planning have been dragging their feet.” Unidentified handicapped There are at least 325 handicapped people in this university, year. According to Secretary CynUiia Sitcov-Mermelstein, the group but there are more who have goneunidentified, according to Miller. At this time, the Independents have “25 members, maybe less,” Sitcov-Mermelstein claimed. The Student Senate meeting was to have been held in Squire Hall, but was moved to Talbert Hall in order to make the meeting accessible to the handicapped. The Independents will hold their next meeting in Capen Hall on Tuesday, October 25, at 7 p.m. -Rob Herb in and Andy NatHanson Page two The Spectrum Monday, . . 24 October 1977 S730.

Mayor Makowski and City Comptroller Robert Whelan liavc recommended to the Common Council that it accept the offer which would mean $1.8 million for the city coffers. The original deadline for accepting the settlement had been October 19 but in a recent court decision that deadline was extended to December 15. According to Whelan, the offer would improve the city’s financial picture by enabling it to write off in its balance sheets (which list the city’s assets and liabilities) large amounts of reserves that it now must carry. State finance laws require the city to carry as reserves two thirds of the amount of delinquent taxes outstanding. This means $10 million in Buffalo’s case. Penn and ink The almost $4 million owed in taxes by Penn Central dates back' to June 20, 1970. At that time, the entire Penn Central Railroads system filed for bankruptcy in Philadelphia’s U.S. Bankruptcy Court. The petition effectively insulated the railroad from any debts that it owed including property taxes. In addition to Penn, Whelan noted another $10 to $12 million owed the city in delinquent taxes, almost half of which by bankrupt grain mills andxdher railroads. The “net liquidation value” of Penn Central has bpen set at $685 million by the U.S. Railway Association. This is the amount creditors could have realized in the market by liquidating and selling its assets - either for continued rail use or for scrap. Pending money The three judge federal bankruptcy court in Philadelphia will decide how to apportion the money after the liquidation has taken place. Buffalo could accept “certificates of value” based on this anticipated revenue as payment for Penn's delinquent taxes. These “certificates of value" arc guaranteed by the U.S. government which assures payment of whatever minimum amount the creditors are deemed to be constitutionally entitled to receive. Nevertheless, Whelan feels that the eventual payment to the city will be less than the present offer of 1.8 million. $ In a realted development, the Common Council voted last Wednesday to refund the controversial occupancy tax with the money expected from the Penn Central tax payment. With the decision to accept that settlement, now delayed until December, and the possibility existing that the refund may he illegal, city residents are not recommended to hold their breaths wailing for refunds.

At the time of its adoption, the tax raised a storm of protest. I uthermorc, the revenue projection was never met. The refund resolution, which was sponsored by Council person Shirley Stolarski and Cieorge K. Arthur was mainly opposed by administration officials. They are hoping to keep proposed S873.000 refund to help the city financially. In any case, the litigation involving Penn Central’s lii|uidation could drag through the courts for years. City officials would like to get as much money as they can now and keep it. The New York Public Interest Research Group has helped register over 2,500 (NYPIRG) undergraduate students to vote, encompassing 1.232 in person voters and 1,300absentee ballots. Staff Project Coordinator for NYPIRG at this University, Ron Wainrib, is very pleased over what he called “the phenomenal success’” that this year's voter registration drive, is experiencing in light of a post-presidential election “off year.” NVPIRG hasn’t limited itself to this University, though. As its name suggests, the New York Public Interest Research Group is at work all over the stale. Ail told, Wainrib estimates that at least 10.000 students have been registered statewide including 2,300' at State University of New York at Albany (23 percent of the undergraduate student body). Fewer problems are expected this year than last, when many students received their absentee ballots late because of the massive number of students registered. The ballots are expected on time this * year. One major problem has arisen for many of the local (Erie County) students who wished to register by mail. Registration by mail had to be received at the Office of the Board of Elections (BOE) by October 11. Many registrations were received at the BOE on October 12 and were rejected. Depreived right to vote The people who were rejected still had the option of registering in person up till October 15, hut the BOE didn't send out the rejection slips until the fifteenth. Thus, many of our local students were deprived of their right to vote, noted Wainrib. At the time of the interview with Wainrib, one local resident, Dave Koenig, was on hand for comment: “I tried (to register). I called the BOE, but they said they couldn't help me. If they mailed il a day earlier. I could have registered to vote in person.” Wljile Koenig was complaining of the inefficient procedure. Wainrib was on the phone to the BOE in an attempt to find another student's registration card. After being directed from one office to another and being informed that ncitlier Commissioner was in that day. he finally wound up speaking to Commissioner Republican voting Mahoney's Lucille Becker. Becker claimed il would be secretary, very difficult to locate the card because the BOE is about 10.000 behind in logging and and coding the cards. Becker admitted that the Board is severely understaffed. Heavy impact When asked what impace the massive student registration would have on the elections. Wainrib stated. “The student vote promises to have enormous impact on all races in the slate. Elections have been won and lost by a thousand votes. We have enabled 2,500 people to vole here 10.000 statewide. This will definitely have a significant impact on many elections.” Wainrib gave much of the credit for the enormous success of the registration drive to Ester Ni/.rachi, the local project coordinator. if you still haven't registered but wish to do so, there’s still time, but you’ll have to act quickly. First, you must mail out your request for an absentee ballot application (residents of Nassau County are in luck; NYPIRG has a supply of absentee application forms). Once you’ve received the application, it must be filled out and received by the area Board of Elections by 5 p.m. November 1. Further information can be found at the NYPIRC. Office in Squire Hall. UUAB sponsored Fillmore Room to become‘Disco City’ The Union University Board (UUAB) is sponsoring I he largest special effects disco dance party in the history of this University. The Disco, which will begin in the Fillmore Room at 8 p in. on October 29, is unprecedented because it is the first lime UUAB is doing its own show and not simply supporting another event, says UUAB disc jockey Harry Hart. The Disco will be a cornucopia of special effects, including a fog machine, echo chamber, and the largest sound system ever used for a disco event here. Another attraction is a light show similar to thg one at the Hayden “It’ll like Planetarium, be Lazarium to disco music,” Hart said. There will also be a strobe light capable of vividly entrancing 750 people. Activities Discourage disco negativism “If things go right,” Hart said, “and the disco market is there, there are big plans to continue these large shows on a regular basis.” Hart beefs that disco has been neglected on campus because of connotations negative association with disco music. “It doesn’t have to connotate Black. Gay, or Hispanic, but rather, it’s just a form of danceable music,” he said. Hart hopes to play down and the discourage negativism surrounding disco music by many different encouraging people to attend and enjoy this monumental function. “In essence,” Hart elaborated, “you don’t have to hussle to dance at a disco. You just get out there and do your thing. We don’t want a segregated party, but rather, a homogenous mixture of people.” Hart, who has had experience as a disco disc jockey in and around the Manhattan New York City area for the past three years, said the music will be non-stop 300 records utilizing about including such artists as Donna Sommers, Boz Scaggs, and much other danceable music to break Our error It was reported in "The World in Brief” in last The Spectrum that “West German Friday’s commandos, hurling special flash grenades, rescued It has not 86 hostages taken by Arab terrorists . . been staled anywhere that the three slain terrorists were Arabs.

In a shower stall, someone had left newspapers on the floor to soak up water. Higgins ordered one of the women to clean it up as he walked away. “Kiss my ass," growled one of the inmates. And a few giggled at the brazen remark. But Higgins had moved away and didn't hear. Monte observed that only the first few floors of the Holding Center had been cleaned sufficiently. The other floors still needed work. At the the elevator, Undersheriff pointed to a fire alarm. "We found out a few months ago that the fire alarm was not connected to the Buffalo Fire Department."

Selected students will work as staff members in Senator's offices fnrni January 3, 1978 to May 26. 1978 (after a week’s orientation to the state’s government and to the Senate’s functions, procedures, and operations). To be eligible for the program, students must he residents of New York State, must have a strong orientation toward public services, and possess an outstanding academic record. The program is intended for juniors and seniors, although exceptional sophomores are also eligible. The Senate Session Assistant’s Program provides a stipend of $500. Applications are available from Chris Black, Department of Political Science, Room 354 L Spaulding (Building 6). Amherst Campus. Completed applications and supporting material must be submitted to Professor Richard Tobin of the Department of Political Science no later than October 28, 1977. Retraining grant to develop new courses Last year, a program of retraining tenured professors was started with a SUNY Central grant from the Lund for the Improvement of Post Secondary Kducation. The retraining program is designed to create new courses that will be interesting and practical for today’s students. Retraining will afford the University the opportunity to offer new courses that are in greater student demand. It is hoped that this program will enhance the educational environment of the SUNY system by satisfying the needs of both professors and students. “Many professors might find a class of three or four unexciting. This is one of several steps being considered for future faculty development,” said Assistant Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dr. Calude Welch. Professors will be chosen for the program according to the following criteria. First: the candidate must be tenured; second, he must be a member of any department or program with declining enrollment; third, a candidate must retrain in a closely related field with increased enrollment and unsatisfactory staffing; fourth, a carefully planned program must be developmed in consultation with members of the candidates future department. Twelve campuses participating There are now twelve participating SUNY campuses. Those campuses being utilized for retraining are responsible for assisting the trainee and providing an evaluative report on the success of the trainee’s program. The trainee’s home campus is expected to provide a full salary during the retraining period. The maximum grant assistence that a trainee is eligible for is 55,336. As of now, there are no specific procedures governing the selection of candidates for retraining. A memorandum from this University suggests that a four to six member screening committee be set up. One half of the committee would be selected by the faculty, and the other half by the Administration, with a final recommendation made by the President. Formal structures, however, are likely to vary from onecampus to another. During the spring of 1978, there will be approximately six available- grants. The application deadline to SUNY Central is November I. For the 1978 79 semester, fifteen grants will be available. Deadlinedate for these applications is February I. 1978. - Monday, 24 October 1977 . The Spectrum . Page five �L_ EditPriol I Misgivings about IRC Happy to be alive To the Editor.

A few quick points about the proceedings at the Inter-Residence Council (IRC), not exactly the most important issue facing this University, but certainly a subject about which bitter words have been written in this newspaper, both justified and based on facts which were not facts. The foremost and stupidest mistake to be printed was that Scott Chemick ran for Ellicott Area Council President against Steve Urdegar, who is Barry Rubin's roommate. Based on that wrong assumption, it was suggested here that Rubin resign his post on IRC's Elections and Credentials committee because of an inevitable conflict of interest. Fact is, Chemick did not run against Urdegar; he ran against David Hartzband, while Urdegar ran unopposed. Adequate reason, therfore, was not given to call fdr Rubin's resignation. He admits that he was wrong to rip down even one campaign poster, and so criticism of him on that point is justified, but he and IRC Vice-President, Stephanie To the Editor Freund, continue to insist that they were severely misquoted and that Since my arrival at SUNYAB in September, 1 important facts were omitted from the IRC article that appeared in last Wednesday's issue of The Spectrum. have become more and more aware of the negative Some incidents concerning the IRC election, such as alleged and biased attitude towards the Amherst Campus The Spectrum.

So, since many students have already spoken out on the evils of Amherst as it compares to Main Street.

Furthermore, I urge the Amherst pessimists to 0 A-r -y‘ v but true. Anyway, hacks account for a disproportionate amount of incompletes, dropped courses, cut classes, lonely roommates, estranged lovers, jobs that have been quit and a disproportionate amount of concern for this University. Which is not to suggest that hacks are the noble creatures they might like you to think they are. Hacks are devious, scheming, vengeful and have been known to test the truth’s elasticity at times. They occasionally revert to hack-stabbing. And it is undeniably true that most hacks want to go to law school, or in the case of treasurers. CPA firms, or in a bad name, which somehow, seems okay. I don't know; the image of a revered hack is somehow disconcerting. ■ : Hacks love their desks. They love their offices. They love getting mail. They love to see their names in The Spectrum. They love their titles. They are proud of the fact they know what Sub Board is. They are pround of their particular organization. They are usually intelligent and sometimes articulate. Hacks of a particular organization tend lo congregate together. Hence you will often see packs of hacks roaming the corridors. Hacks enjoy what they do. Thus, you will rarely find a hack that is truly unhappy at this University. If everything else collapses, he always has his hackdom to fall hack on, at least until the next election or that elusive vision of graduation appears on the horizon. Hacks love power; they thirst for it. There is something intrinsically enjoyable about making decisions and being consulted and ordering people around and being a big shot in whatever context the hack is hacking. Power is a motivation. It's (hat simple. Hacks know what the hell is happening at Ihis University. They know who runs the school. They know who makes the real decisions. They go out of here more prepared for life than most of you. because life in the hack world closely parallels life in the real world, or at least what hacks perceive life in the real world to be. This may sound weird, but overall, I would say hacks are not exceedingly gorgeous people. They arcexceptions. Also, hacks care They care about this school. They care about students in general.

I offer an invitation and a challenge to the and universities of Buffalo to form a meaningful relationship with Buffalo’s city government. At the national elvel of government this country’s colleges and universities have played a significant role in shaping both domestic and foreign policy. Harvard, MIT, Columbia and other Institutions of higher learning have played significant roles in shaping national policy and programs. ACthp state level, institutions of higher education, such as the Maxwell School of Public Administration, have undertaken basic research which has provided the basis for policy formation. Historically in Buffalo this area's colleges and universities have made an important contribution to the education of this city’s young people. Now I ask you to involve yourselves in solving the problems of Buffalo and Western New York. Universities and colleges often are hesitant to become involved in large scale service projects because they fear they will compromise their institutional autonomy. However, as institutional citizens of our city, colleges and universities have responsibilities which require their involvement. I would argue that if this area's institutions of higher education work diligently with my administration in helping solve this area's severe problems, this could provide an opportunity to develop a model of local government and university cooperation which could have national significance. In order to encourage the universities and colleges in this area and their faculties and students to become involved with the Eve administration, I shall undertake the following steps: I) Delegate to a member of my staff the responsibility to create a talent bank which will maintain a current inventory of the expertise available in our local institutions of higher education. This individual will have the assignment of actively organizing this area’s faculty as well as other local experts to assist city staff persons. For example, each Commissioner in my administration will be encouraged to have available a list of faculty members to whom he or she could turn when questions arise. This network of faculty advisors throughout the city government could provide invaluable resources to the city government. For example, I can foresee faculty members of the School of Management assisting my administration in developing a better budgeting process. I can see members of the School of Engineering assisting my staff to examine traffic patterns and faculty from the School of Architecture and Environmental Design working with my administration to develop neighborhood planning studies. 2) Explore the feasibility of using the above talent bank to prepare a series of alternative futures for the City of Buffalo in a number of areas ranging from energy problems and economic colleges To the Editor: development to a strategy for improving the quality of our public schools. These alternative futures will be offered to me and the public at large for general debate in order to establish an agenda for action by my administration. 3) Explore the feasibility of this area’s colleges and universities undertaking specific research projects which will furnish hard data to my administration so that decisions made can be ones based oh fact and not on intuition or guess. For example, I might need to have hard data on the skills of the unemployed before an appropriate job training strategy can be developed. Or I might need to know what the effect of various fiscal policies and programs might be on the city’s tax base before I decide upon a specific course of action. To get answers to these kinds of questions I will look first to this area’s institutions of higher education. Individuals with special expertise who teach in our local colleges and universities will be used as much as possible as consultants or advisors. Our public dollars should not be used to support New York City or Washington, D.C. experts if talent exists here in Buffalo. 4) Explore the feasibility of using the universities and colleges to develop in-service training programs for city employees in order to improve worker productivity and skills. The implementation of better management techniques for city employees who are in supervisory positions be one may means of instituting better management techniques. S) Explore the feasibility of establishing a for Student Interns sponsored by a consortium of the area's colleges and universities. This Center could be modeled after the Peace Corps where selection and training of interns would be supervised and guided. Too often intern programs do not have adequate supervision and there is too little communication among the student, the faculty advisor and the city department. This program, properly structured and operated, could be an asset to our city government without using the dty taxpayer’s money. It could serve as a model for all cities who are fortunate enough to have major colleges and universities like those in Buffalo within their borders. Center Universities and colleges constitute the second largest industry in Buffalo and Western New York State. Their faculty and staff represent a tremendous resource and one whose potential has yet to be fully tapped. The effective use of this local talent is of key concern to me. On my part. I will continue to lobby both in Albany and Washington to assure that we in Western New York get our fair share to aid to higher education. I will go one step further and encourage the development of an effective coalition of talent from all institutions of higher education in Western New York to work with my administration in any way possible to solve our problems. The total resources of this city and region must be mobilized and united in Buffalo and Erie County to rebuild their economic base and become viable and exciting places in which to live and work. For Eve To the Editor This letter is in response to the commentary written by Harold Cold berg, which appeared in The Spectrum Oct, 19, 1877. , Rhetoric is present in this year’s general mayoral campaign, but it is not to be found in the Eve campaign. This year’s mayoral election is perhaps the most critical in Buffalo’s history. For the first time in years, the Arthur O. Eve campaign affords the citizens of Buffalo a clear choice. More than any other candidate. Eve’s legislative record speaks louder than the mere “rhetoric” that city editor Harold Goldberg attributes to Eve. Eve’s proposed policy toward this city’s universities are readers decide for themselves. Arthur O. Eve has fought harder than any other politician in recent Buffalo history to push thru progressive programs to aid the public schools, minority groups, higher education, and the economically disadvantaged, as well as smashing the restrictive political machine of Joe Crangle. Yes, people do make a difference. Eve’s platform is people. It is truly a vast and beautiful grass roots organization that everyone is welcome to join. ? fountain, and 3) If a student breaks the law for a third time, he should be prohibited from using the library altogether and, moreover, disqualified from voting for the Black Velvet girl of the year. Dan Bernstein Misrepresenting the facts To the KJitor I am totally disgusted with The Spectrum's so-called presentation of the facts of the I.R.C. Area Council Klections. To begin with, I think The Spectrum ought to get its facts straight. Scott Chernick did not run against Steve (Jrdegar, Barry Rubin's roommate, but rather against David llartzband. Rubin's roommate ran unopposed. Therefore, there was no conflict of interest and it did not violate the spirit of the rules. The horrendous thing Barry Rubin did was transfer one poster from an illegal area, a white wall (according to housing rules, nothing is to be hung on a white wall), to a legal area, a brick wall. If Scott Chernick were at the mandatory candidates meeting, or read the rules for that matter, he would know that it was illegal in the first place. The transferring of this poster, in my opinion as K & C Chairperson, could not alter the results of an area council election in which he lost by one-third of these votes. It also amazes me that The Spectrum does not include all the facts of the election, such as Chemick's inexcusable behavior in response to the transfer of his poster. Threatening to “beat the head in” of a member of the K C Committee, to me. shows the mentality of the person we’re dealing with. To set the record straight, I never told Chernick in public or private that he deserved another election. He must have dreamt this. The Spectrum also claimed I required only one housing list. In fact. I required three. The S/tectrum's lack of fact and its innuendos are inexcusable for any kind of newspaper. I call it libel. What do you call it? Just &. a bad back, sat with the students in the pouring rain on the hard wooden bleachers. He talked with the fans and shouted the team on. He was also seen to have raised a glass or two with the students. For a man supposedly “hiding in his office in Capen Hall,” it was a pleasure to have Dr. Ketter at the game with us.

Campaign workers for Eve Ered Kosimic Steve Crenadir Steve Cvcvzner JeffRodd A glass or two Over the past few years. President Robert Ketter has come under much criticism. After Saturday, October 8, we feel it is about time that he was given some praise. Dr. Ketter has worked with student, faculty and alumni groups in an pffort to bring football back to this University. His efforts were rewarded when several thousand fans saw a walk-on team tie RIT in its first contest in seven years. Dr. Ketter, despite Spectrum. The question is not whether or not this is trivial problem, but what can be done to ensure quiet. Messers. Jones and Maher proposed police patrols to enforce silence. This is a good idea, but it along is insufficient. The following rules should be instated: I) When a student is first found talking, he should be forced to write, “I will not talk in the U.C.L." as a memo on the next 50 checks he writes, 2) If a student commits a second offence, he should not be allowed to study or utilize any library materials outside a ten-foot radius of the water because The Sitectrum is a student newspaper does not mean it should be innaccurate. Last year. The S/n'cirum did not even cover our Main Body election, while this year you suddenly became interested in misrepresenting the facts of our Area Council elections. What’s the matter? Didn't you have anything better to write in Wednesday's issue? Your misquotes in the past are a ■public record; that does not mean that this should continue in the future. Nowhere throughout this election has the word corruption come in; a few mistakes at the worst have occurred, but not anything close to corruption. Comparing me to Gerald R. Ford is preposterous. I put too many long, hard hours at I.R.C. for a couple of two-bit cub reporters with questionable motives to insinuate that I have not been truthful, and, in a round about way. ask me to resign.

Hopefully, they will be subsequently printed in The Spectrum to let the To the Editor. I am responding to the letter which appeared in the October 19th issue of The Spectrum written by David Lubiner. Talking in the U.G.L. has caused serious problems for me, as well as many other students of this University. For example, last week in the U.G.L. I was trying to listen to the Yankee game on the radio. (The reception there is excellent because the radio waves pass through the detector near the front doors and filter out the voice of Howard Cossell.) But it seemed that every time the Yankees were threatening to score, the din of inconsiderate students drowned out the radio. Students were voicing things like, “Who's winning the game?” or “How’s Jackson doing?” or “What’s the count?” or “Who stole my shaving cream from the bathroom?” Needless to say, the game was ruined. I know of several similar experiences which have befallen students. A friend of mine was trying to train his dog in the U.G.L. and because of all the chatter, the dog became confused. Now the dog will only come to his master when he says, “How do you solve number six on page 189?” The dog will only fetch a stick if he says, “What went on in class today? I was too stoned to show.” And the dog refuses to be paper trained on anything but The having been bothered by Monday, 24 October 1977 The Spectrum Page seven . . �On top of the world with the New York Yankees by Drew Reid Kerr SiH-clmm Staff Writer r A rumor is circulating that there wasn't a sane person in the vicinity between October 11 and October 18.

People walked into the dorm rooms on one of the nights of the Magic Week were lucky to get the attention of one resident. What happened to the real world, people pondered. A strange spirit carried many of us off for seven days. It’s funny, but even for those never really into sports, the lure of the Yankees winning the Series was apparent. The fellows next door called the pitches before they were made. Chris Chambliss hit a home run and Gary and Sal were arguing who called it first. “1 saw it coming, I knew it!” Gary screamed. He assisted game announcer Bill White calling, “Strike and a miss!” The horrendous defensive failure of Bill Russell missing Chambliss' high pop had Gary screaming a “1962 Mets play;” he proceeded to sing Meet the Mets.

Niagara took the first six places to give them an easy victory over second-place UB'with 51 points. Buffalo State was third with 71 points and Canisius was last with 80. The Bulls placed their first four runners .within 42 seconds of one another and came up with the eighth through the eleventh places. Bruce Goldstein led the charge with his eighth place finish in 29:08. John Rycrson was ninth in 29:17. captain Mike Fischer was tenth in 2‘>:22, and Barry Schindler was eleventh in 29:50. The harriers needed one more scorer, and after a twelfth place finish for Canisus, Tim Sheehan of UB came across the line in 30:16, good for thirteenth place. He was quickly followed by Tony Markut (fourteenth in 30:17). and Greg Freitag (fifteenth in 30:23). Improvement The race was held at Niagara University's home course, and the distance was 5.4 miles. “It was a really hard course. I didn’t get any chances to rest on a downhill; I had to work the entire race,” said Buffalo’s Schindler. Ull’s second-place finish is a big improvement over last year’s ihird-placc finish. The Bulls are a very young team, and may capture first in the Big Four meet next year. The Bulls will be losing John Kyerson. but Niagara will be faced with the loss of three big men. Coach Waller Gant/, said this about the team’s future: “The winner of (he race. Jeff Kunn, ran about 5:10 per mile, and that’s really not that good. We have lire talent here to run that kind of time, and 1 will institute a tougher summer running program to insure a winning performance from our guys." Championship meet The job for the UB squad will not be any easier in the coming weeks. The Bulls have a home meet against a perennially tough Brockporl team this Wednesday at the Amherst Campus. The Canisus Invitational is slated for October 29 at Delaware Park. The Canisus meet will feature both a varsity and a junior varsity race. Prizes will be awarded to the top runners. The New York State Championship meet is scheduled for November 5 in Rochester. The Bulls will send a seven-man team to the 17-school race. The final meet will be the IC4A Championship meet at Van Courtlandt Park in New York City on Monday, November 14. The IC4A meet will feature such cross-country powerhouses as the University of Massachusetts and Villanova. vying for the Fast Coast Cross-Country bragging rights.

During the next few hiinutes of play, the Bulls kept the pressure on. but did not score, as their attempts were off target. But the Bulls did not slay off target for long as pin-point passing and heads-up play combined to produce another goal. Fullback Mike Allan sent a long head pass to Karrer at midfield. Karrer then spotted winger Jim Rudolph racing downfield and fed him a perfect pass. Rudolph forwarded a pass to Bilka along the right sideline and Bilka sent a long, low shot past Bernsetin to give Buffalo a 2 -0 edge. alertly passed to a wide open Karrer who sent a low strike into the net. Buffalo scored again at 29:47 when Bilka received Feeney’s corner kick through a maze of players and head-butted the ball into the Bonnies’ goal to give the Bulls a 4-0 advantage. St. Bonaventure did not seem to be dismayed and managed to slip the ball past the Buffalo goal to cut the margin to 4—1. The score, which ended Buffalo goalie Mark Celeste’s bid for shutout number three of the season, came just 42 seconds before the end of the period. “We started to settle sown and play the soccer we know how to play,” stated Bilka, explaining Buffalo’s strong showing in the first half. He attributed his hat-trick to being in the right place at the right time.

Brockport scored again in the second quarter, capping a fifty yard drive when halfback Doug I'rederiek also found a hole in the Bulls' defense and untouched into the endzone.

Oa one occasion, they advanced the ball over midfield, only to be penalized! for holding and unsportsmanlike conduct on the same play, moving the ball hack thirty yards and killing whatever momentum they might have had team had driving, and right n/hen we should capped out a drive with a score, something happened." DiMiero said. Bulls' conch JJill Dando agreed. “Because of their inexperience. they cannot take command. There’s always something holding "We'd be have them hack," Dando said. Gabryel scores Later in the second period, Bulls’ defensive end Jim Granchelli recovered a fumble at the Broekport 40 yard line. A pass interference penalty on Broekport's Joe Molisani moved the ball to the ten yard line, and then Buffalo halfback Mark Gabryel scampered around left end for a touchdown. Rich Phillips kicked the extra point, making the score 15 7. Buffalo started the second half looking like a much improved team. Linebacker Gene Maracle made two key tackles and broke up a third down pass, forcing Broekport tp punt. Buffalo took the ball at their 23 yard line and then put together their best offensive drive of the year. Passing on almost every play, Buffalo marched down to the Broekport 12 yard line, as quarterback Paul DiMiero connected on five out of six passes, including a 30 yard completion to tight end Tim Lafferty on-a third down and four situation. However, then the Bulls made another costly However, it wasn't always Buffalo that was holding Buffalo back.

The Spectn» Pape sine . �sportspaige by Paige Miller Buffalo wasn't appropriate and suggested CLOUDY at Buffalo. The committee to pick the new nickname for the women’s teams will consist of; Women’s Athletic Director Betty Dimmjck: Women’s Basketball coach Liz Cousins; Women’s Bowling Coach Jane Poland; basketball player Regina Frazier; field hockey co-captains Cathy at Copy Editor How would you like to win a dinner for two at Foil’s, 2443 Niagara Falls Boulevard, worth $35? Or maybe three records from the Record Theatre? The Women’s Athletic Department is running a contest, sponsored by the volleyball team, to find a new nickname for its teams. All you have to do is think up an appropriate name, fill out the coupon, bring of mail it to Karen Olsen. 200 Clark Hall by 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, October 27. and you could be the big winner. Only UB students may enter, so entries without a student number will nut be considered. In case of duplicate entries, the one received earliest will be considered the winner. it seems that the women don’t like the nickname “Bulls.” Officially, that nickname only applies to the men’s teams press releases regarding women’s spurts never refer to the women as Bulls. Only The Spectrum referred to them as Bulls, for lack of a better term. So now the women arc going to have a nickname of their own. Separate nicknames just for women’s teams are not without precedent: there are the Cougarettes at Genesee Community, the Orangewomen at Syracuse, the Lady Macs at Immaculata and a peculiar combination of gender known as the Lady Statesman at Delta State in Mississippi. - Creative titles There is no need for the new nickname to be connected to the men’s name (e.g. Orangemen and Orangewomen) as the above nicknames are. In that case “Bullettes” would win easily. (And for all you male chauvinists, don’t bother to say ”lf the men are bulls, then the women must be Cows,” because such humor will not be appreciated.) Contests to name things have been particularly successful on campus. In the spring of 1975, there was a contest to name the Bubble, Among the many creative entries were The Amherst Igloo, the Bubble Hall. The Blimp. Goodrich Dead Zeppelin. l-can’t-believe-it's-a-bubblc Bubble. The War Memorial Bubble. The Inability Facility and Ralph. The name Ketterpillar was eventually Creighton and Rose Bowden; and volleyball captain Barbara Staebell. The winning name and runner-up will be announced Saturday at the Kg Four volleyball championships, which will begin at Clark Hall at I p.m. Here’s your chance to leave your mark on this University. Here's your chance to do something creative, for a change. And. here’s your chance to win a dinner for two at a fancy restaurant (I’m not quite sure if they’ll allow one person to eat both meals, but you can ask). Don’t blow it. It may be your last chance. Miscellaneous: I don’t think that O.J. Simpson deserves the publicity he has been getting for attending the UB-Canisius football game. Tbere are other valid reasons why the papers should write about O.J., but this is not one of them. Instead they are taking away space that might have gone to the two football teams. I particularly object to a front page story in Thursday’s Reporter which made it seem as if OJ.’s arrival was the main event and the football game was merely incidental. Other than that one story, however, the Reporter’s increased coverage of camlpus sports and of students in general has been highly commendable. The change is due primarily to the new leaders at the Reporter. Jim DeSantis and Bob Marlett. In previous years, one could read the Reporter without ever getting the impression that there were students at this university.

One was meant to learn from experiences; many of which are negative. We will reap only long-term benefits from them. No short-term benefits are forseeable. It would be easy to say Life Sucks!, but I prefer not to. Situations develop for a reason. Call it fate if you please. If we view it as a learning experience It will indeed evolve Into one. Never should we forget the memories or the friendship It gave birth to. If our respective stars cross similar paths again In the future this would be nice. If not, cherish the memories in heart and mind which we both share; whether consciously or not.

The News has always been area newspapers, the Buffalo the more conservative voice in News and the Buffalo, both in its news reporting Evening Courier-Express. This installment and its political and editorial deal: with the perceptions of both stands, to the point of generally papers’ employees concerning the being termed a “Republican” two publications and the newspaper. This underlying conservatism upcoming Sunday head-to-head manifests itself most visibly in competition. political endorsements.

Hence, while the Courier News and the Courier-Express will never be mistaken for the about the Buffalo newspaper Village Voice, it does stand market and its changing status. significantly to the left of the Sources on both sides felt the News on political matters. Courier was “gutsier” in its coverage. Nearly everyone Bowels of a controversy With the purchase of the News surveyed recognized the smaller paper’s greater willingness to by millionaire Warren Buffet, one plunge Into a controversial issue, of the most intriguing changes in especially on the local level. The the paper may become visible on News was seen as “hesitant” by the editorial page. Buffet has been both sides, and more likely to pegged as “somewhat liberal” and wait bn a potentially explosive it should be interesting to observe how much of an influence he will story. This attitude force on the News’ basically prevailing a senes of articles examining conservative management News staff members generally acknowledged their competitor’s boldness. “I think the Courier is more willing to get into the bowels of a controversy than the News," siad one News reporter. “I’m sure there will be stories this year we should go after that we won’t.” Some at the News felt the Courier sacrifices accuracy in its “quest” for controversy. “1 think they’re sloppier with facts,” said a News staff member who placed some of the blame on an overworked staff at the Courier. News people also charged their rivals with creating furors out of mild issues. The relatively Executive Editor of the Courier, Douglas Turner, drew direct from News staff criticism members. “It’s been said that their Executive Editor will decide on something and send a reporter out to confirm it.” related one source at the News. Quick to defend Reporters at the Courier, when this, about questioned acknowledged hearing similar tales about Turner, though none would chronicle any personal examples. Most felt the reports had been exaggerated. Sources at the Courier were eager to offer their views on the relative “courage” of their paper. “1 think we’ve always been gutsier,” one staff member said. This attitude is generally taken for granted at the Courier where employees are quicker to defend, rather than criticize, their paper’s overall approach. They are also reluctant to credit the News with any important pluses. One Courier reporter, when , asked what the News does better or more thoroughly than the Courier, could only think of. “Drawings. They have better drawings.” he said. Courier staffers were not similarly reserved when criticizing their rivals. “The quality of the Buffalo Cvcniug News is now worse than I’ve ever seen it.” observed a Courier reporter.” The problems they have putting out a quality newspaper never cease to amaze us.” Get up and go “1 think the News has taken a deep, deep plunge.” said another staff member, who characterized the paper as “boring, smug, and lazy.” The feeling that the News style is too “official” and consequently “dull.” was echoed consistently at —continued on page 22— Amherst Campos rlam for Amherst overlook handicapped by Andy Nathanson Spectrum * Staff Writer v ,:v i> The Amherst Campus was apparently built in violation of State building code amendments dealing with facilities for the physically handicapped. The construction also violated the spirit of a 1966 announcement by then Governor Nelson Rockefeller providing adequate for accessibility for the handicapped on all State University campuses. The University is now in the process of the planning rehabilitation of both the Amherst and Main Street campuses in order to conform to newly enforced Federal regulations, with estimated costs running into the millions. The building code amendment, Part 824 of New York State is titled, Law, Executive “Facilities for the Physically Handicapped” and has been in effect since January 1, 1971. It sets down specific standards for the construction of new buildings in regard to paths of travel, walks, V-; ■ ,•« . ' *c ..... ' ramps, elevators, parking spaces and doors. The amendment also deals generally with plumbing, electrical wiring, ventilation, air conditioning, water fountains, and “other fixtures and elements affecting the functional use of buildings by the physically handicapped.” Violations at Amherst include ramps, elevators, curbs, water fountains and parking spaces that have proved to be barriers to the handicapped. Exactly what is illegal about Amherst and to what extent violations exist is hard to pin down. —Coi Approximately 125 supporters greeted Bruce Beyer at U.S. Customs when he surrendered yesterday. Small changes According to Vice President for Facilities Planning John Telfer, “Small things have tl) be done to most buildings" in older to make them accessible. Telfer is not convinced that Amherst is inaccessible to the handicapped or that any laws or codes wfere violated in its construction. ‘‘It depends on how you define accessible,” said, he “not according (Federal to 504 Government) standards,” but he was not aware of “any problem with Part 824.” In any case, according to Dr. Telfer, the matter of legality is “subject to interpretation.” What handicapped groups advocate illegal consider be might interpreted as conforming to standards by the state, he felt. However, Telfer admitted that the University had raised the question of legality to the State University Construction Fund (SUCF) and that “they have assured us that they have had more than adequate review at the to planning stage ensure compliance with the current laws.” X SUCF is responsible for all done on State construction —continued on p«g« 21— emotional return: A quiet Bruce Beyer comes home by Corydon Ireland Special to The Spectrum BULLETIN: Bruce Beyer, who crossed the Peace Bridge into the United States yesterday, has been released from the Erie County Bruce Lindsay Beyer, 29 year old Buffalo draft resister and human rights activist, emerged from nearly eight years of exile in Sweden and Canada just after noon yesterday, Thursday, October 20, and surrendered quietly to federal authorities at the Peace Bridge.

FOUNDERS DAYS Ford press conference held by Harold Goldberg City Editor a conference In press conducted Wednesday evening in the Georgia Room of the Statler Hilton, former President Gerald R. Ford announced that he would endorse Republican candidate John Phelan for the November Buffalo mayoral election. Ford, who was in town to address the Buffalo Council on World Affairs, related that in light of recent layoffs in the Northeastern steel industry he is in favor of “temporary quotas on imported steel.” The former President decried the policies of foreign steel dumping in the United States, laying part of the blame on the country of Japan. Regarding President Carter, recently who chastised oil companies when his energy bill was renounced, calling U.S. oil monopolies “the world’s greatest ripoffs,” Ford commented that “Carter’s relations with the Senate are in a shambles. 1 don’t know how he got himself into that position.” Bakke When asked his opinion of the controversial Bakke case in which have been questions raised , Sale 99.95 regarding whether or not to support preferential treatment to those have who been discriminated against in the past, buys a complete stereo system. ■ Ford stipulated that he does not believe arbitrary quotas are the answer to the equality question. “I’ve read Mr. Cox’ brief which is now before the Supreme Court and he seems to come out in the middle of the issue.

The clause midway down the second column (“they’re hostile to males”) should be a phrase which reads, “there hostile to males” a reference to the character of the women’s movement in Sweden in the spring of 1972.

Commoner presented information illustrating that “a good deal of the incidences of cancer are related to environmental dangers as a result of synthetic and chemical productions.” The information, compiled after years of study, took the form of a map plotting the incidence of cancer in every county in the United States.

The first lecture, sponsored by the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) and the Student Association (SA) Speakers Bureau, dealt with the economic and environmental feasibility of the Carter Energy Plan. Commoner, best known for his books, “Science and Survival,” “The Closing Circle,” and “Poverty of Power,” proposed several innovative methods to the Carter Plan for dealing with the energy crisis. The second lecture, sponsored by Rachel Carson College and the Division of Environmental and Manufacturing carcinogens As a result of these studies, scientists are Organismal Biology, dealt with environmental influences on the incidence of cancer. Commoner working to locate and define cancer-causing agents in was introduced by professor of Biology, Harold L. the environment and finding more and more.

As I was waiting to be checked out, I saw a fellow human being murdered all because of a lost jar of salad dressing. Can you imagine this little guy. maybe six years old, must tall enough to see over the top of the counter. His father is huge; he corners his son, blocking the door. Across the counter slouches the storeowner who keeps saying. “Yes, I’m sure of it; he did not return the salad - dressing!” - The father interrogates his son, repeatedly asking him. “Are you sure you returned itIWhat did you do with it?” The little kid is confused; he can’t even defend himself with a coherent sentence. As he shrinks smaller and smaller, his father looms larger. This small boy stands there trembling. Can you see the sweat on his forehead? At last, the scene ends... but in violence. Father becomes executioner. Thebig man pulls out his ring of keys and flashes it like a blackjack, smashing his son's forehead three or four times. He hits him hard, too. Take that! Take that! Take that for losing my salad dressing! Oddly enough, the kid’s face is expressionless, his eyes empty, dead but not yet glazed over. This has happened to him before; he is used to it! As for me, my forehead is stinging and I am wondering: what will happen to this little guy when his father gets him horaeWhat kind of life does this kid have?

Haas explained, “Even though it could be. used as a bomb, we wouldn’t want them to have it as The Natural Science and Technology Facility Nuclear Reactor Shutdown was closed because of potentially leaky radiation piping, according to Associate Director of the facility Martin Haas. The reactor, closed on October 7, will remain shut down for approximately three months while the piping is being replaced, and the facility is replenishing its exhausted fuel supply. Haas explained that although the piping is being replaced, the leaking radiation posed no threat to anyone. “The radiation,” he said, “was well below standards set for radiation in drinking water.” Haas explained that the new piping was also implemented to assure that the facility would be able to fulfill its “long-range commitments,” which include an on-going experiment for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). Haas said the refueling aspect of the shutdown was necessitated because “we haven’t needed any fuel since 1963.” He added that the new supply is expected to last “at least until 1993.” The fuel that is used for the reactor is Uranium Dioxide, a radio-active substance which, in its delivered state, is neither harmful nor easily turned into something destructive, such as a bomb. ‘The stories you hear about that,” stated Haas, “are using poetic license (rather than scientific fact). It just isn’t that easy.” Even though building a bomb isn’t easy, the fuel is secretly stored and kept under heavy 'Best time for shutdown.’ Haas termed the possibility of the reactor exploding “impossible” and,said it was as probable as “a plastic toy exploding.” “Just like a toy and plastic, explosives are made out of basically the same material, (so are the reactor and the atomic weapons) it takes a whole lot more to make an explosion. If it wasn’t safe they wouldn’t have let us have it.” Haas termed the shutdown as coming at “the best possible time," since the facility usage is now at its low point of the year and the experimentation for the NRC has not started. “The reactor, which supplies nuclear isotopes for this University and others, is among the top ten university based nuclear facilities in the nation,” said Haas. Among its long-ranged projects, Haas explained, is an experiment which tests the possibility of restoring vessels for atomic power plants through a process called “annealing.” Each vessel costs upwards of $100 million, and advances which have occurred or could occur could save billions in the long run, he said. The facility is also used as i touring site by many elementary and high school students. Haas expressed hope that the reactor would be operable again in three months. “We have to live up to our license,” Haas said. by Tony Fomuto Compiled from the New York Times West German commandos, hurling special flash grenades, rescued 86 hostages taken by Arab terrorists who hijacked a Lufthansa plane shortly after its takeoff from Palma de Majorca, forcing it to land in Mogadishu, Somalia.

Both Makowski and Regan have made it quite clear that the orchestra cannot depend on extraordinary means such as the grant to assist them in future years.

Both Bielski, who has served since 1974 as concert manager and Spero, who served since 1976 as director of development, are confident that the Orchestra’s problems can be straightened out. Buffalo Society Philharmonic Vice President John Walsh stated, in reference to contract problems with the musicians, “We’re going to work our tails off to get this thing settled.” One of the Society’s main problems is with the musicians themselves. The Musicians Negotiating Committee has repeatedly rejected the Orchestra contract offers. Society’s Originally, for financial reasons, the Society proposed a cut of 12 orchestra members (from 87 to 75) and reduction of the 46 week season to 37. When this was rejected by the committee, the Society proposed to cut there. “If we were to get more money today, there would be no question about full restoration, providing we got enough,” said Spero. According to a statement released by the Society Board of Directors, ‘The issue is not salaries. It's the cost of running a symphony and community’s willingness major the to support it.” Hopefully, the people of the Buffalo area will support the Philharmonic in the upcoming year. The Society estimates it will require an additional $750,000 this year, and whether or not they get it depends on the generosity of Buffalonians. “I firmly believe that the loss of the Buffalo Philharmonic would be felt economically for many, many years,” felt Spero. Makowski and Regan shared similar sentiments, stating, “In our judgment, our community simply cannot afford the loss of the Buffalo Philharmonic.” two members and cut the season to 37 weeks, promising the restoration of the cut jobs and weeks by fall of 1979.

Ipf, the controversial University of California Bakke case. Although this case might be the iQipst important one to be heard by the Supreme Court, since the landmark 1954 Brown v. Topeka Board of Education the Mayoral candidates were either unable or unwilling to discuss the Controversial question involved. In separate telephone interviews with The Spectrum the four major party candidates decided to “back away from Bakke.” If the court does decide this case broadly on Constitutional grounds, the admissions policy and practices at graduate and professional schools across ■ • 4fbn , , be altered dramatically might the nation Consequently, the academic world feels that the Bakke case is of the utmost importance. The reaction of the candidates for Mayor, however, shows that this belief is not universally shared. No Bakke blast The Conservative Party candidate, State Senator James D. Griffin, refused to make any comment on this case. At first, he refused to discuss any aspect of the case because he felt he “couldn’t give an adequate answer over the phone.” He then responded to an offer to rectify the situation by being interviewed in person, at his convenience, by hanging up the phone. Donald L. Turchiarelli, the Liberal Party candidate for Mayor, was more honest and sincere in his comments. He stated that he had “never heard of the case before and, consequently, could not comment on it.” It doesn't matter Attorney John J. Phelan, the Republican Party Mayor, who has argued cases before Faculty responds to issues in Bakke case by Jim Safee Spectrum Staff Writer The case of Alan Bakke vs. The Board the of Regents of University of California, which is now being decided in the U.S. Supreme Court, has been the subject of considerable debate and controversy. Just about everyone from the American Federation of Teachers to the Sons of Italy has given their views on the case. We decided to let some administrators and faculty mefhbers here at the University air their own personal opinions on the matter. The following people were asked their views on the Bakke case and affirmative action programs in action general. Affirmative programs make adjustments in regard to criteria related to the curriculum of certain programs in order to give minorities and other disadvantaged groups a fair chance to achieve the education they desire. Dean for Minority Assistant Affairs <S Financial Aid for the School of Medicine, Rudy Williams: “The big thing that I would like to say about the Bakkc case is that it is a bad case to be before Supreme Court. I know the preferential admissions is nothing new. In fact, in the Hipocratic Oath, which medical students take upon graduation, in its pure form, indicates that physicians will their own sons and educate daughters firstly, which in itself is preferential treatment. It, is about as realistic to believe as it is to believe that minorities will catch up to the main ot American lile without something extra. There is no way to bring an individual to the starting line, unbuckle his chains, take off the ropes, and race him with an individual who has not been chained, and has been preparing for this race all his life, telling them that they are stream both equal and expect candidate for the Supreme Court, stated that he has been “too busy to give adequate attention to the case.” Democrat Arthur O. Kve, the only black candidate in the race, stated that the Bakke case and a fair race.” Associate Dean for the School of Dentistry Dr. Richard Powell. “The Bakke case is a no-win, no-lose situation. Whatever the decision, it will be wrong for some segments of our total society.” Acting Dean of the School of Pharmacy Dr. Daniel Murray: think that criteria for “1 admissions into such academic programs, especially professional programs, need broadening. Other criteria based on societies’ needs must also be considered. The affirmative program is action toward that goal.” History Department Chairman Dr. Clifton Yearley: “My first impression is that this case is not likely to be a landmark decision. I suspect that the Court will be prudent, that it would follow a conservative line in the sense that it will judge this case on a restricted legalistic basis. “The reason that I suspect this to be true is that this is a highly charged political issue which the Court, at this point, does not have to address. Probably the Court to leave such a will prefer troubled set of issues to legislatures: probably the Court will therefore take a longer view ■' The response (or lackof it) of these men to the Bakke case indicates a number of things. Firstly, the candidates feel that there is not much interest in Bakke outside qf the University community. If they believed otherwise, the politicians could be expected to see the opportunity to score political points and be more than willing to dismiss it. It can be, assumed that had the candidates obtained sufficient knowledge of the case, they may have been still, unwilling to comment on it. In case, is a “no-win” politics, an issue like proposition. Any comment a candidate would attempt to make would Ipse as many votes as it would gain, and could' conceivably give his opposition valuable ammunition. Finally, the passive reaction of the candidates to the Bakke case can be attributed to the fact that the controversy is presently a judicial, not political one. Since the case is now before the Supreme Court, any comment that any political figure would make, of course, would be irrelevant to the outcome of the case Should they comment? While all these implications tend to support the non-reaction of the candidates, there is one aspect of the case that would seem to make a political comment appropriate. If the court decides to determine the case on broad Constitutional grounds, the effect would reach beyond the boundaries of the universities of the nation. Affirmative action programs in employment, delegate selection and other non-academic fields would also be affected. Whether the Mayoral candidates know this or not, the Supreme Court ruling in this case will probably have an effect on city government. If the Bakke case does not turn out to be a definitive decision, similar cases (such as the Clanly case) will follow until this controversy is settled. It is the issue at stake, not the particulars of the case that is important. Unfortunately, the candidates for the office of Mayor do not seem to realize this.

Page seven �EditPrial i Look who's to blame A considerable amount of consternation exists over exactly what transpired at the 10 Card Committee meetings of the last year and a half. All we are sure of is that 25,000 ID cards without signatures, without dates of birth, without addresses were distributed to students at this University. Cards not containing these pertinent items of information are a waste of precious University funds, and are useless. The reason it is difficult, almost impossible, for us to discern the intentions of the Committee is because no one, neither administrators nor students, seems capable or willing to divulge the whole truth. Three administrators who participated in the decision explain that everyone on the Committee agreed that students' signatures would appear on the card while the Chairman of the Committee, Director of Admissions and Records (A&R) Richard Dremuk proffers that the body decided "by vote" not to include said information. Top officials from the Student Association (SA) pledged their innocence of the matter, yet now admit that a member of the present administration was indeed present at the final meeting, knew what the card would look like, ahd said nothing to the student press in an effort to affect change. §o who's guilty? It would seem, when first considered, that students are, for participating in a committee decision that rendered useless cards. However, students who attended the meetings have steadfastly maintained that upon voicing their protest concerning the card's proposed design, they were told either that they had no say in the matter or that the decisions had previously been made by other students. If this is true, there would seem no doubt but that students were forced to take or leave a useless card. Administrators on the Committee denied students' charges, claiming that students had the power to make changes yet were satisfied with the design. However, this contention was undermined when a representative from A&R maintained Wednesday that when alterations in the card's design were necessitated in the summer, "no one was there to approve the changes:" Nothing could be further from the truth. No less than six committee members were in Buffalo at the time and hence were available to ratify the changes. So it now appears that students were indeed truthful in their claims that they were held powerless to affect changes and that A&R took it upon itself to assume responsibility for alterations in the card's design without bothering to inform Committee members of the changes. If such is the case, and there is compelling evidence to substantiate that possibility, then students and administrators alike need look no further than Annex C, where A&R resides, to find the culprits who wasted thousands of University dollars, caused incessant bickering, and brought us essentially useless cards.

I’ve found that Brett Kline and I agree on many things, and I usually find his editorials interesting and to the point. This is why I was shocked in reading the “Resign” section of this editorial. It was in Brett’s usual to the point style but the facts were all wrong. The thing that immediately struck me as strange was the statement that Scott Chernick ran against Barry Rubin’s roommate. Since Barry Rubin lives in Wilkeson, and I live in Richmond, and I was the only person running against Scott, this does not seem possible. Barry Rubin’s roommate ran for treasurer and was unopposed. Immediately I called Brett and asked him why he wrote that. He replied that he got his information from Harvey Shaprio’s article, which was in the same issue. The editorial also asks the question: “What right did Barry Rubin have to tear down Scott’s posterT At the time it seemed pretty clear that Scott was putting up his posters illegally, and as an E&C official Barry simply instructed Scott where he could legally put up his posters, to this Scott replied something like, “Shut the fuck up or I’ll beat the shit our of you,” and then Scott went on to challenge Barry to disqualify him. Given the fact that this was about 2:30 a.m. the night before the election, Barry felt he had every right to move the poster, and the time so did everyone else, at including E&C chairperson Stephanie Freund, who made the only logical ruling. After reading the editorial I went on to read the article by Harvey Shapiro to which Brett had referred earlier. Once again the article began with the allegation that “Steve Urdager” ran against Chernick 1 cannot understand how a reporter can base an article of this caliber, on a totally false statement. If a resignation is called for here it should be Harvey Shapiro’s. Later in the article Mr, Shapiro went on to quote Stephanie falsely, which she confirmed to me Stephanie never said that “Chernick may have been wronged” and she never said that he deserved a new election. The truth is that Scott Chernick should never have been alloweo to run, not because he couldn’t attend the mandatory meeting, but because he never informed anyone that he wasn’t coming. I would just like to conclude by saying that these people are students. They do their job the best they can, and they shouldn’t be criticized every time their is a slight discrepancy in their statements, and their every move should not be analyzed. Barry Rubin has received a lot of heat, and it all stems from his spending a lot of money on IRC weekend movies which he did in the best interest of the IRC feepayer. Barry was forced to estimate what IRC’s budget would be. At that time he thought money was coming in from IRCB, which surprisingly is not the case. I could sympathize with him because I do programming for SA and I know it has to be done way in advance. So let’s stop knocking Barry, in the same right we should stop knocking Stephanie; she has been doing her best all along, and she did what she thought best with the Sheriff’s ID’s and that’s all we could ask of anyone. Anytime you have an organization that looses one third of its budget there are bound to be problems; let’s not add to them. David Harizba nil IRC hllicoll Pres SA Speakers Bureau Chrmn Sf\ profiles by Helen Swede Student Association The semester’s first Student Association (SA) Senate meeting was held Thursday, October 13. The meeting opened with a report from SA President Dennis Delia that addressed several areas of SA involvement. Delia first cited a guarantee from the University Central Administration about room space in Squire Hall for student organizations. It stipulates that the present occupants of Squire cannot be relocated to the Amherst campus unless room is available in Talbert Hall, the student activity and academic complex. However, it is likely that student dubs will remain in Squire for at least two more years. — Art* No fault ID contracts if overcrowding occurred. Delia stressed that if the Housing office can break students’ contracts by placing extra persons in dorm rooms, students should be allowed the option to leave the dormitory without financial penalty. Along with the Student Association of the State University (SASU) delegates on this campus, Delia said SA is working to repeal the recently implemented twelve dollar Health Fee. He concluded with a report on SA’s attempt to extend the “Resigned (R)” deadline. The Academic Affairs Task Force will be meeting with the Division on Undergraduate Advisement on the matter. SA Executive Vice-president and chairman of the Senate meetings Andy Lalonde announced that the Senate meetings will alternate by day of the week and by campus in hopes of allowing more students to attend meetings. He announced other changes in Senate operations. Senators must have two permanent proxies in order to submit substitutes. No other names will be accepted, he their Delia also spoke about the two legal suits with which SA is involved. Cavages, Inc., has initiated a $100,000 property damage suit against SA because of damage to a storefront during the 1975 Record Co-op controversy. Delia feels Cavages prospects for winning are slim. SA is also working with Group Legal Services (GLS), and Sub-Board I, Inc., on the said. suit against the University Administration for the Lalonde called for more student involvement in right to represent students in court paid for out of the Senate and he would like to follow through on mandatory fees. suggestions to have credits offered for student Delia expressed disappointment that the UB government related activities.

My sister attends the School of Nursing at UB and was greatly distraught at the tragic suicide of one of her fellow nursing students. Though it is being played down by the administration, the blame can rest on the conscience of the faculry. This year, due to a new curriculum change, students are being subjected to undue excessive stress and mental anguish. The faculty appears to be oblivious to the fact that the spirits of these students are being broken by the tremendous workload. Though the young woman who committed suicide may have had other personal problems, not apparent to fellow classmates or faculty, it is the belief of many of her peers that the stress placed upon her by the curriculum attributed to her death. If changes are to be made, it is very sad that it took the death of such a young person to open the eyes of such “highly educated and professional people.” Nan () Bicycle registration To the Editor. To the Editor. Enough is enough, Mr. Rosen! I refer specifically to your October 17th re-hashing of the inadequacies of the Amherst Campus from your self-inflicted Exile on Main Street. In your capacity as Managing Editor of a major university publication, it is frightening that you are faced with a shortage of subject material. Is nothing new at The Spectrum ? Surely, the many faces of this University reflect issues deserving of your attention which might better utilize your talent as a writer. Please stop reminding us of the imperfections which exist in our would-be flawless, comfortably As of now, there is no mechanism for students to register their bicycles on the Amherst Campus. In order to facilitate bicycle registration with University Police, a new policy has been developed. Under this new policy, you do not need to bring your bicycle to the bike compound on the Main Street Campus in order to register it. If you bring the following information to the compound, <|K>u can register your bicycle. The necessary information is: 1) Make and model of the bike 2) Color secure surroundings. Mr. Rosen, many a writer has offered a unique contribution to literature from the state of exile. Greater things are expected of you. Margaret Mary Buchanan 3) Frame number 4) Your name and address 1 urge all students to register their bicycles with University Police. If a person’s bike is stolen, the chances of recovery are much better if the police can trace it to its owner by frame number. Paul Glauber, Director Student Affairs Undergraduate Student Association 'Donnell most frequently cited drawback of affirmative action programs. The result is easy to forsee new forms of discrimination and a two standard faculty: those who have made it strictly on their own, selected by their professional peers in open competition, and those who have made it by virtue of membership in some group. (Hook, Sidney, ‘The Bias in Anti-Bias Regulations”) There are several assumptions in this argument that merit examination. ‘Those who have made it strictly on their own” are predominantly white men. Therefore, so are their professional peers. We can assume that the author is not suggesting that there is anything inherent in being white and male that qualifies a person for academic excellence. It is essential to ask how many of these people would have achieved this standard of performance had they been black and/or female. It is then, at least partially because of their sex and race that these people are where they are. So the argument that they have made it “strictly on their own” is false. It is necessary to examine the seemingly objective v criterion of academic excellence. “The distance between where a minority student started and where he or she is today is more significant than a comparison with others who had no headwind to'overcome.” (O’Neil, R.M., ‘The Case for Preferential Admissions”) For example, take a black student who grew up in the ghetto and attended inferior schools and managed to graduate from college with a 3.5 cumulative average. In comparing that student to a white student whose father is a lawyer and who attended expensive prep schools and graduates from Harvard College with a 3.7. who shows more academic promise? This poses the question of whether equal opportunity itself is discriminatory under circumstances in which the effects of past discrimination are incorporated in the current capabilities of individuals. Archibald Cox argues that intellectual ability is but one of several criterion used to determine admissions. Cox states that a diverse student body is essential to maintain academic excellence and that a black student can usually bring something a white student cannot offer. Thus, it is not because minorities and women are lacking in something that they are offered preferential admissions; rather, this is done on the basis of what they can contribute. A qualified white student is denied admission to a law school because a lesser qualified minority student is admitted - at least so goes the argument. There'are at least two other possible explanations for this denial. One is that the people doing the hiring (probably white men, since, as Hooks tells us, only one percent of faculty is black) can see government pressure as the only legitimate reason to hire a woman or a black over a white man. The other possible explanation is that affirmative action programs are being used to hide retrenchment; rather than say there is insufficient money to hire, university officials shift the blame to minorities and women. After all, the premise of “reverse discrimination” is wholly based on scarcity; it would not even be an issue if there was enough money and and facilities to admit and hire all qualified people. In summary, those opposing affirmative action programs argue that the programs are unjustified because they adversely affect white men, they use sex and race as criteria, and the best qualified people are not selected for positions. All of this when only one percent of university faculties are black. It is difficult to accept the argument that affirmative action programs have been abused, that is, have discriminated against white males, when there is little evidence of increased numbers of minorities and women in ‘ Guest Opinion by June Lapidus Special to The Spectrum Editor's note: The following paper was written fur a course in Social Foundations of Education Depart went taught by Gene Grabiner. - not requiring proof of discrimination when a minority applicant or a woman requests consideration by virtue of that program. They see discrimination as only a personal issue. We agree with Taylor who states; “Whatever duties of justice are owed by individuals to other individuals, institutionalized injustice demands institutionalized Paul W., compensation (Taylor, “Reverse Discrimination and Compensatory Justice”) And racism and sexism are certainly institutionalized in our with ” On February 22, 1977 the Supreme Court agreed to review the case of Alan Bakke, a student who was denied admission to the University of California at Davis Medical School. Bakke claimed that he was a victim of “reverse discrimination,” arguing that students with averages and test scores lower than his were admitted to the school because of a minority admissions program. Bakke states that his race denied him admission, i.e. “reverse discrimination.” Although the Supreme Court began hearing the case October 12, 1977, lengthy debate has surrounded this issue in other quarters. The debate has centered around whether affirmative action programs are unfair in their treatment of majority students and applicants. Affirmative action is the plan for rectifying past discrimination against minorites and women. This usually takes the form of some kind of preferential treat nent or special consideration due to a person’s life experiences. The focus has been on admissions and luring pojicies in higher education although tbe ramifications extend beyond this area. The concept of “reverse discrimination” assumes that if preferential treatment is afforded minorities and women, it must be done at the expense of white men. White men become victims of “discrimination” since, because of their sex and race, they are not treated in an equal manner with minorities and women. The question becomes: Are we perpetuating the same thing we are trying to eliminate by having affirmative action programs? Those claiming “discrimination” against white males by affirmative action programs argue that it is false to assume that we can end past discrimination by instituting new policies that also “discriminate,” i.e. give preferential treatment to minorities and women. The critics of affirmative action who argue that it perpetuates the very practice that we are trying to eliminate claim that it is wrong both constitutionally and morally. The fourteenth amendment to the Constitution guarantees equal protection under the law. This means, according to these critics, that no one may be denied access to opportunity in this society because of his or her race. This stems from the belief that all forms of discrimination are equally wrong. If we are to extend this line 'of thought to its conclusion, we must then assume that the answer lies in a benign neutrality, never taking sex and race into account as factors. Yet, as Taylor argues: “Being black was made a morally relevant characteristic by those who used it to discriminate against black people,” (Taylor, Paul W., “Reverse Discrimination and Compensatory Justice,” Analysis, June 1973) Certainly it was not black people or women who argued for differentiation on the basis of race and sex. By saying that these factors are now irrelevant, the proponents of this argument are in effect calling for the maintenance of the status quo. The inequalities are already there; people have always been classified by sex and race. Another crucial assumption is that employers are able and willing to use objective standards for determining relevant qualifications - that they have access to and can follow non-sexist and non-racist criteria . . . Blacks and females may feel, quite understandably, that in order for them not to be discriminated against, they must be discriminatingly favored. “The fact that only one percent of university faculties and five point four percent of four year college faculties are black is no evidence that today active discrimination against qualified blacks exists, and that it is five times as strong in the universities as in the colleges.” (Hook, Sidney, “The Bias in Anti-Bias Regulations”) Hook and Nesbit fault affirmative action programs society. Both deciding whether sex and race can ever be justifiably used as criteria, even to compensate for past injustice, and determining whether discrimination is an individual or that requires social phenomenon, discrimination be defined. “Reverse discrimination” as a concept negates the institutionalized oppresssion of women, third world, working class and gay people. It implies that our society allows for equal and quality access for women socially, economically and politically, but that sometimes it makes a few mistakes. Discrimination is an historical and systematic practice by those with power against those without it. In order for one group, A, to be able to discriminate against another group, B, A must have the ability to make decisions adversely affecting B and the means to enforce those decisions. In America today, and throughout our history, it is white men who have had that power. It is absurd, therefore, under our present social system, to think that minorities and women can make decisions and enforce them against white mfen. Separating discrimination fromoppression leads to a whole set of misleading arguments. For example. Hooks states: “Over representation of a certain group is by itself not proof of favorable discrimination: no one would seriously accuse the Metropolitan Opera of past discrimination in favor of tenor singers from the Mediterrean area. (Hook, Sidney, ‘The Bias in Anti-Bias Regulations”) The methodology of this sort of social science assumes that we are all equal competitors in a free and open market. It denies the existence of social systems that operate to benefit one group over another. By taking discrimination out of the context of social reality, social scientists are able to ignore the oppression of Third World people and women in America. It is abstracted to a point where the concept becomes meaningless. This problem of not looking at what has happened to lead to the present inequalities is rampant in the arguments against affirmative action. Hook quotes from a 1965 study of women who received Ph.D.’s in 1957-58. The study asked women what they saw as major career obstacles. Twelve percent listed employer discrimination, 18 percent the inability to find adequate help at home, 12 percent husband’s job mobility, and 4 percent husband’s attitude. Hook concludes from this information that since 88 percent cited factors other than employer discrimination it is wrong to place the burden on universities to rectify this situation. It is agreed that more than fair employment practices are necessary to remedy this situation. However, Hook is using these statistics to prove that discrimination does not exist; he sees them as personal problems. Yet, those very circumstances define exactly what the oppression of women means. This inability or unwillingness to place people’s lives in a social context is central to the position that “reverse discrimination” exists. If we continue to follow Hooks’ argument, we can assume one ot three things: that blacks are innately incapable of being university faculty; that there are not sufficient numbers qualified or that there still exists active discrimination. The first not being worthy of comment, the second two can only be explained by recognition of the historic and systematic oppression that has led to the present situation. When a minority student or a woman is admitted to a university or a graduate is hired under an affirmative action program, the quality of the class or faculty is lowered because the best qualified person was not chosen. Aside from “discrimination” against white men, this is the university faculties. Not one person who pointed out what she or he saw as weaknesses in affirmative action programs offered another solution to the problem of the oppression of Third World People and women arid the ensuing discrimination in our universities. Unless of course we consider the do-nothing-and-keep-your-fingers-crossed-approach as a solution. It is necessary to conclude therefore that these objections are a smoke screen for other issues. It is true that those who are the beneficiaries of an unjust social order will consider its alteration to be yet another injustice from the personal point of view, but this cannot be helped. The process of changing our society to a more egalitarian one does challenge male and white privilege. This is not “discrimination,” however, it is justice. iday, 21 October 1977 The Spectrum Page nine . . �•\U n • r -m Vgwr ■'• •ffifirt!'* -' ■ i i ' . -.•V V Racist rape charge To the Editor: % 1 am writing this letter to you from within the confines of the Erie County Correctional Facility at Alden, just outside of Buffalo, N.Y. As the enclosed fact states, I was sentenced to a term of seven months for an alleged violation of probation. For nearly two years I have been struggling to vindicate myself of the false charges perpetuated by . _ . racist and reactionary! forces here in Buffalo. Throughout the course of this struggle I have been very fortunate in -being able to enlist the aid of progressive people from >across the country. I feel this is because of the obvious implications that my particular case has in relation to all poor and v oppressed people everywhere. There can be no diminishing the traumatic and devastating effect that rape has on women who become victims. I share the serious concerns of women and other people of conscience over this violent and heinous crime. However, none of us should diminish the significance of the historical tradition of the racist use of the rape charge to oppress black men either. My case along with such cases as that of the Scottsboro nine, Thomas Wansley and Delbert Tibbs are all classic examples of rape and racism. The problem with the phenomenal rise in the number in rapes occurring is bad enough, especially since the rate at which rapist are apprehended and convicted has decreased. Yet there has always been a most serious problem, when interracial rape is the as is my own. ■ The problem being that interracial rape, in the event that the victim is white and the alleged assailant is black, incites the most vicious racist attitudes in our society. Hence the situation often develops that police set out to get a convenient scapegoat to answer for the crime. The only requirement is that he is black. It is in this type of atmosphere that I was framed and railroaded. Not because I committed the crimes, the authorities here are well aware that I didn’t. It is because I am a black man, who like most, is poor and oppressed. Being such, it is usually easy for them to carry out a frameup. It is easy because of the collusion which exists between the police, the courts, the DA and much of the news media. Consequently many innocent black men have been lynched, murdered, incarcerated and forgotten about. Fortunately, through the dedicated work of my defense committee and my other supporters, 1 have not been forgotten. I have not been forgotten because my struggle is part of the continuous struggle for freedom, justice and equality for all poor and oppressed people. People have not been deceived by the smokescreen of racism used to cloud the real issues in my case. From the outset the political overtones of my arrest and the events that followed have been met with the political answer of the people, “BY DEFENDING KENNETH JOHNSON. WE ARE DEFENDING OURSELVES!!!" As a result I have become a political threat. A thorn in the side of various officials here, making my removal from the streets a political necessity. They have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to perpetuate their frameup with hopes that my incarceration would destroy my spirit and break the back of the movement. Instead my incarceration has served to strengthen me physically, mentally and spirituallly. I am relentless in my determination to be free, and to expose those who have conspired against me. As for the movement, it grows in its intensity daily, as more and more people learn of the outrageous injustices I have suffered. I said this letter with hopes that it will enlist your aid in my struggle. I am in the process of appealing the convictions, which will mean more time, energy and moiiey. Already my legal expenses exceed $25,000, and a new trial could add as much at $10,000 to that figure. I am in urgent need of your financial support to help defray these exhorbitant legal costs. Your support is also needed in whatever you can do to help me to bring pressure and to inform other people and organizations which might help. My confinement in this institution has only remforced my firm belief that there is very little difference in here, than out there. The bars and the walls which hold me prisoner merely take different forms on the outside. They take the form of welfare, unemployment, poor housing and others. I will never be really free nor will any oppressed person, until the bars are removed completely. This can only happen through a united and determined effort on the part of people of conscience everywhere. I sincerely hope that you will lend your support to this struggle and I am confident that we will be victorious in the end.

The evidence indicates that Those arguing for the Bakke cause are asking us regardless of the existence of a special program, to believe that the increase in minority admissions Bakke would have been denied admission to the since 1967 has been accomplished by allowing medical school at Davis. Bakke’s initial application inferior minorities to be admitted. But the national to Davis was filed for 1973, late in the school’s survey of grades shows that indeed the opposite is rolling admission cycle, when a substantial number true (if one accepts grades as valid measures of of positions had already been awarded. Thus Bakke performance). Male black students at top was competing with other applicants for an even achievement level are 10/4 times as likely to attend a smaller number of places in the class.

Moreover, despite admissions stated that Bakke did not even “come great claims that minority enrollments are lowering close to admission.” standards at institutions of higher education, these Among those admitted at Davis in 1973, there data indicate that low-achieving whites (D grade) are were eight Whites with lower bench mark ratings 14/5 times as likely to be enrolled in universities as than Bakke s and 36 who had lower undergraduate are lowesr achieving blacks! grades.

The successful candidates from the minority unsuccessful applicants in the nation. That same year, the medical schools took in a total of 14,159 pool of the mid 1970’s have on average the same students of whom 1297 were “underrepresented credentials (measured by MCAT scores) as the minorities.

Today thery are about 175 doctors per 100,000 people. This can be taken as a measure of the extent to which health care facilities have grown during more than three quarters of a century. Today in the state of Mississippi a relatively black, poor and rural state, there are only 82 doctors for every 100,000 citizens. According to a recent survey, some 5000 towns in 138 counties across the nation have no doctor at all. I will cite a few examples to illustrate the impact of this reality. - Half of all U.S. children under fifteen have never visited a dentist. Eleven million children between the ages of 15 and 17 have eye disorders that need attention. Two million have untreated hearing defects. Nearly three million children have untreated speech disorders. Untreated emotional disturbances affect some 4,600,000 children. Two million children have untreated — — — — — — orthopedic problems. U.S. ranks eighteenth among the nations in infant mortality. If the infant death rate last year had been similar to Sweden’s, 50,000 fewer babies — would have died in this country. Five million alcoholics. More hospital beds arc used for the treatment of the mentally ill than for all physical diseases, accidents and illnesses put together. Etc., etc. — - always attributed these changes to the 1970 Carnegie Commission report which predicted an acute shortage of doctors, and not to the militant black struggles that challenged those ruling powers. It turned out that the concessions that were wrested by the black struggles began to add on to the wealth of the elitist medical profession. For example, Medicare and Medicaid went to serve not the elderly and the poor but to the already soaring doctor and hospital fees. Now in the seventies, the government has been trying to reverse even the minor concessions that were extracted of it by the ghetto rebellions of the sixties. We should see the role of AM A as part of this trend. Once again, the basis of AMA’s actions is another Carnegie Commission report issued in 1976, that has proclaimed the existence of a surplus of doctors: “In the face of rapid expansion in the supply of physicians graduating from existing schools, we are in serious danger of developing too many medical schools.” So in 1970 there was a shortage and in 1976 it hasJbecome a surplus! It is instructive to see how the Carnegie Commission determines the shortages and surpluses of doctors. “A surplus of physicians,” notes the 1976 report, probably “would not manifest itself in these unemployment highly among trained professionals but rather in some decline in their average incomes . . .” So AMA’s definition of a doctor surplus is a decline in average incomes for doctors! - Yet each year about two-thirds of the 45,000 applicants to medical schools find the admission doors shut on them. With the skyrocketing income of dbctors (the average is estimated to be about $75,000 a year), the number of applicants at the medical college gates is increasing day by day. The Association of'American Medical Colleges (AAMC) concedes that at least three-quarters of those rejected are fully qualified. This assertion coupled with health care facilities vastly inadequate underlines the bankruptcy of the elitist policies of the American Medical Association fAMAf and more irhporiantly of the American capitalist system which determines the character of the present situation. History of AMA's elitist policies: The tendencies towards professionalism in medicine, or more appropriately, towards medical monopoly got a firm foundation in 1910, when the Carnegie Foundation came up with the Flexner Report. Abraham Flexner and Dr. Nathan Colwell (of the AMA’s newly formed Council on Education) inspected every medical scHbol in 1910; the result was that 92 schools either merged or went out of business and most of the others raised their entrance requirements. The upgrading of medical science was probably the less important consequence of Flexner Report. But the more decisive consequence was the tighter control of AMA-AAMC leading to training of fewer and fewer physicians for the future American society. As a result, starting from 150 doctors per 100,000 people in 1900, the country’s available doctors declined to 128 per 100,000 in 1930. Medical profession became medical monopoly and consequently a seller’s market in healthcare. In 1932, another AMA appointed Commission on Medical Education with Harvard President Lowell as its chairman claimed that the profession was suffering from an oversupply of doctors. The only problem, according to this report, was a geographical maldistribution of doctors and a tendency towards specialization. For three decades, till the late sixties, AMA used the viewpoint to prevent all efforts to increase the supply of doctors. The ghetto rebellions in the sixties, in Harlem, Chicago, Detroit, East Los Angeles, etc., against racist oppression were the main factor that forced the government to open up more jobs and educational opportunities for minorities. Hospitals were built, Medicare and Medicaid programs were instituted, and minorities were admitted into medical schools. As mentioned in the first part of the article, the non-minorities benefited more by these changes. The total number of medical schools grew from 88 in 1960 to 117, while the available first year openings increased from 9000 to 16,000. It may be noted here that the U.S. ruling powers have In short, AMA’s policies during the last seventy years have been consistent and clear: how to keep the supply of doctors restricted and their average incomes the highest. Only when the people struggled demanding changes, particularly the blacks, did these policies change at least temporarily. So it is not the inferior minorities who are crowding Bakke out of the American medical schools. But it is the elitist policies of the AMA that re denying Bakke and thousands of others, non-minority and minority, male and female, all adequately qualified students, the possibility of becoming doctors. Now it becomes imperative to understand the significance of the cries of reverse discrimination that have been generated in support of Bakke. The meek defense in the courts put up by U.C. at Davis and the U.S. Government in support of the principle of affirmative action, should be making it clear to everyone that neither of them have any real stakes if the “Bakke” decision of the lower court is to be upheld. But to most of us the impact of such an eventuality is obvious. A decision in favor of Bakke would result in the reversal of every small gain achieved through the persistent struggles of the last twenty years by the minorities and women in particular, and American people in general. It is this new reality which the U.S. ruling powers want to create, which is being hidden under the smokescreen of reverse discrimination. Compounding this crisis of U.S. economy and intensifying it, is the phenomena of emerging the movements in national liberation underdeveloped countries. Even small countries are defense of their national in standing up independence, people are asserting their rights for liberation and social revolution, that the global empire of U.S. is beginning to shrink. It is in this overall context, the American ruling powers are building up the hysteria of reverse discrimination, influx of foreigners, import of foreign commodities, etc. Before concluding, I must make explicit a crucial fact. If was not the god-given wisdom of the Supreme Court or of the Republican/Democratic governments, that opened up for the people socially profitable opportunities such as in education, health care, etc. It was the mass struggles of the American people, blacks in particular, that compelled the U.S. ruling powers to make these concessions. Now it is the same mass actions that can prevent the Supreme Court from sanctifying the argument of reverse discrimination. And if the Supreme Court should uphold the “Bakke” decision, it is the same mass struggles of the people that can ultimately reverse it too. - Raju Third World Student Association I am burning mad now because I could have been literally-burning alive this morning.

A Wert J. t'rmanovics Associate Director Student Activity Centers Main Street alive To the Editor I strongly disagree with Jay Rosen’s requiem for the Main Street Campus. (Exile on Main Street, Oct. 17) Mr. Rosen believes “the entire Main Street Campus is on its way to becoming meaningless.” Since when does change automatically eliminate the of the significance campus? Many of a transformations the Main Street Campus is currently undergoing will result in a more community-oriented campus. The expansion of health science facilities scheduled for Farber, Cary and Squire Halls will immensely benefit both the students of SUNYAB and the citizens of Buffalo. The spirit missing at Amherst is still alive at Main Street and will be for some time to come. That architecture students now inhabit the corners of Hayes Hall formerly reserved for administration bigshots is a refreshing development, infusing staid old Hayes with new life. Witness Rotary Field on a football Saturday, jammed with thousands of Bulls’ fans. The Main Street Campus dorms, libraries and athletic fields still hum with activity and, with the exception of Abbott Library, they have been bypassed in all modification plans. I feel confident that Hayes Hall and all the other buildings on the Main Street Campus will continue to be centers of learning and student interaction in the years to come. The majestic Hayes Hall Tower oversees a Main Street Campus still very much alive and meaningful. Deborah Sorbini Friday, 21 October 1977 . The Spectrum . Page eleven �a- WpV> JL w • use • Last year an Obscure Californian named Bakke was denied ,d mission to medical school. Finding that minority group members with grades lower than his were admitted under the school’s affirmative action program, Bakke brought suit against the school. The case, now before the Supreme Court, may change American history, for if Bakke succeeds all affirmative action programs will be jeopardized an insurmountable defeat will have been dealt to those women and minority group members struggling for equality. A number of letters have appeared recently in The Spectrum defending Bakke and attacking the concept of affirmative action in higher education. I feel that many Students, including the authors of some of the letters, are ignorant of the history, purposes and goals of affirmative action and the facts concerning its present implementation. Affirmative action, by way of general definition, is the taking of positive action to assure that current practices are designed to effectuate the advancement of a particular protected class or group in order to remedy the continifing effects of past discrimination. The goal of affirmative action is equal opportunity. Throughout American history. Blacks, women and other groups of people have been denied their rights, both legally and socially. Discrimination has become so ingrained in American society that as late as 1969 fewer than 1,-4 percept of those in Medical school were minority group members. Assuming that no race or sex is naturally inferior one must conclude that the low proportion of women and minorities in colleges and professional schools is directly attributable to discrimination. Clearly some form of remedial action has been necessary to correct the abuses of the past and alleviate present institutionalized racism /sexism. That remedial action is now under „v attack. ■ In the Bakke case a white male charges that he was denied his rights under the fourteenth Amendment to equal protection under the law. It is strange that the enemies of affirmative action should invoke the amendment for it was with the Fourteenth Amendment that this history of affirmative action began. The Fourteenth Amendment, passed during the Reconstruction period, was used to validate the activities of the Freedman's Bureau, a governmental body which gave educational and job opportunities to former slaves, at the time called “reverse discrimination,’ yet the Congress obviously saw differently for it was the same Congress that passed the Fourteenth Amendment prohibiting racial discrimination that established the Freedman’s Bureau to rectify some of the inequities caused by past injustice. Schools have always exhibited a willingness to consider factors other than pure academic achievement in choosing students from this catagory of potentially successful applicants. The social invovlement of the student might be a factor (hence the concern of the pre-law student for a “good” resume). (If it were not for this factor in law school admissions perhaps we would not find such dedicated public servants as Mr. Jeff Lessoff in student government... see Lessoff’s letter attacking Bakke Committee from two weeks back.) Schools also consider athletic ability in admissions yet no one cries “discrimination when a fullback with mediocre grates is admitted to Penn State over a non-athlete with grades ever so slightly less than mediocre. Confronted with the admirable desire to in some way reduce inequality in society, colleges decided to set aside some places for members of minority groups, women, and the economically deprived. Let me reiterate that those admitted under affirmative action quotas ase .expected by the schools to succeed and that they are drawn from the same general academic category as the majority of non-minority candidates. Affirmative action quotas were set up in order to compensate for the intentional denial to women and minorities the chance to acquire the skills needed to compete with white males on the basis of academic merit alone. As Lyndon Johnson said at Howard University in 196S: “Freedom is not enough. You do not wipe out scars of centuries by saying ‘now you’re free’..’. and justly believe you have been fair.’’ Patrick Young, SA Senator - Page twelve The Spectrum Friday, 21 October 1977 . . presents Scottish singer Jean Redpath also appearing Dennis D’asoro Friday, Oct. 21st & Saturday, Oct. 22 at 8:30 pm Room, mfliN st. croipus Students 31. faculty S'staff 31.25, others 31*50 Tiffin BEER S' OTHER REFRESHMENTS Will BE SERVED .is,.. The next major development in the history of affirmative action was the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibited discrimination based on an individual’s “race, color, religion, sex or national origin." The Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972 went a step further and authorized the courts to enjoin unlawful practices under the Civil Rights Act and order affirmative relief in such cases. Although not covered Under the Federal laws, many colleges and universities, prodded by student activists and civil rights leaders, began their own affirmative action programs. At first most of these programs consisted of little more than the placing of ads for the schools in Black oriented newspapers. After attempting numerous other recruiting techniques, all of which failed to a greater or lesser degree in the campaign to boost minority and women applicants, some schools adopted the quota system as the Only effective affirmative action program. Colleges and professional schools, as you probably know, receive many more applicants than they can possibly admit. It is normal college policy, therefore, to divide applicants into three groups. The first group consists of those with grades so superior as to gain them automatic admittance. The second, of those with grades indicating no chance of success in the school’s curriculum. The third and largest group of applicants is made up of those lacking extraordinary grades, but sufficiently intelligent to succeed in the school’s program of study. This large group is called to fill the remaining places in the entering class. proudly SUB BOARD -7LjONE, INC. % *» WNT at iwpMH»r> M*lo PLEASE NOTE# � There will be no more Amherst Campus shows.

If we are fans of the old Hollywood, we may know that the movie was called Holiday Inn. Beyond that, the details are somewhat sketchy. Some of us, when we were young, may have sat with out parents and listened to his records or seen him on television dancing and singing his way through High Society, or Mr. Music, or any one of the innumerable films in which he appeared with Bob Hope and Dorothy Lamour. But to the rest of us, Bing Crosby was, simply, a celebrity. I hesitate here, because the images which inevitably come to mind when one uses the word "celebrity" are of the people apparent with talent little "entertainers," we sometimes call them who are famous merely for being famous. — - — With Crosby, the association is not so much qualitative as it is quantitative; he was our parents' idol, just as Elvis Presley was the idol of our older brothers and sisters. The intervening years have given us our own heroes now. and it is easy to forget the old ones. Then too, Crosby wasn't known for any one thing in particular. Beginning with The King of Jazz in 1930, he appeared in something like fifty movies, though often he was singing, not acting. Then again, his movies were very often a collection of songs arranged within the framework of a story. Or else he was the down-to-earth straight man for Bob Hope, on The Road to Singapore, or... Zanzibar, or Rio. He won an Academy Award in 1944 for Going My Way and in 1964 there was a television series: The Bing Crosby Show. No, he wasn't really an actor, not in today's sense of the term. We look for different qualities in our films and film ... stars now: realism, credibility, a world we can relate to. New York. New York, while a recant film, is a salute to the age of the musical comedies, not a reestablishment of it. In the 30's and 40's, when most of Crosby's films were made, movies had no real message, or, if they did, it was very often found in the song or joke. And if one could sing or tell jokes in movies, one could surely do the same on records or in front of a live audience. Such was the nature of "stardom" then that "stars" were even less restricted in their movements between media than they are today, and their audience was correspondingly larger. In his book. The Fifty Yeer Decline And Fell of Hollywood, Ezra Goodman writes that the United Nations had a Press Agent in Hollywood. "The U.N. has come to Hollywoood," a spokesman explains, "because when Bing Crosby speaks, many more people listen than would listen to a United Nations spokesman." The Road to But I am perhaps hedging on my own impressions of what Crosby was. He had, I believe, a closer relation to today's young people than most of the stars of his generation have. As an individual, he was both quiet and humble, and he maintained that he had done nothing to deserve the "legend" status to which he was so often assigned. Perhaps more than anyone, he fulfilled the definition of what entertainment was 30 and 40 years ago. And if he remains somewhat vague to our younger generation, indeed, if he remains only a "celebrity," it is because of precisely that we are too young. Of course, his movies can still be seen on television, and his records can still be found in stores, but if we want the real story, maybe we should ask our parents. — �money and television. Now if it can be factors assumed that the media is money and money is the media then a good portion of the responsibility for the changes has to belong to the Great Equalizer. Baseball before television was identified with Humanitarian home run hitters, dean*living and good old modest American rugged individualism. The media, at that time comprised of newspapers, radio and newsreels, portrayed happy, hot dog eating home-town boys who loved the game and their mothers and only slept with their baseball mitts on. With the onset of massive television audiences came contracts, multi-million dollar commercial endorsements and fancy uniforms. Things had changed. Players swapped wives, injured autograph seeking fans, said they ware only in it for the money and wrote books saying nasty things about Micky Mantle. Television, the mbst effective means of communication yet created, had not only altered the attitude of the baseball industry, but had become vital to its economic survival, insuring a hand in its future. Music, the FM pop in particular, has also flown into this guilded cage. The growth of mainstream rock programming on all networks has served to homogenize popular music, automatically limiting it, so as not to alienate too much of the viewing audience. Rock performers attempt to reach a more broadly based audience than could possibly have been envisioned when Linda Ronstadt, then a long haired hippie vocalist with the Stpne Ponies, sang about the "sound of a different drum." A different — drum is dearly heard when ex-revolutionaries appear on the Mike Douglas show and tell housewives across the nation that Strawberry Fields is not about drugs. Or Dinah Shore flirting with David Bowie. Or Frank Sinatra, despite his comments on how rock music is hazardous to the health of American youth, singing 'Tea for Two" with earthy John Denver. By elevating popular music into the mainstream of daily culture and pacifying its performers with fat contracts and the promise of the almighty one hour special, television is helping to drain the batteries of rock 'n roll, an art form whose energy is directly obtained from rebellion against conspiracies like television. It is easily, understood when observing mainstream rock on a Sony Trinitron how musical critics in the New Wave or Punk movements can dismiss much of what is popular today. It is not important that it was Linda Ronstadt who ran off into the Dodger dugout. What is important is that so many other musical artists who were once exciting and innovative could also be considered safe enough by the networks to appear In a similar situation. For this reason it was somewhat fitting that the National Anthem would be followed by a moment of silence to commemorate the passing of one of the vanguards of the previous generation of musical personalities, Bing Crosby. Steely Dan, a band that has the ability to touch that heart of American culture, may have said it best i their first LP, “If you live in this world, you're feeling the change of the guard." Russell's 'Valentino': biography filled with fantasies and myths by Gerard Stemeaky Spectrum Arts Editor There is a scene in Valentino in which Rudolph Nureyev is attempting to seduce his young silent film co-star. As she sits over him, the woman says that she has been looking forward to the time when she might make love to the great Valentino. Indeed, she has fantasized about it "Don't be gentle." she moans, "hurt me, hurt me," and as Nureyev idly watches from beneath her. the woman reaches climax.. I mention this scene because of all the characters in Valentino, this one seems to best accomplish what director Ken Russell was trying to achieve with the film: she gets off on her own fantasy. While most biographies set out to wipe some of the glitter away from the "stars" they are dealing with, to go beneath the surface and offer a more revealing, intimate protrait of the real person, there little of that here. What is more apparent throughout the fHm is that Russell has even less concern for the real Valentino than we do. True, the details of Valentino's life are somewhat hazy. Nevertheless, one can't help but feel cheated by the film, as if, instead of breaking down the myths surrounding Valentino, it has supported them, and perhaps even added a few of its own. Lacks depth It is difficult to pinpoint where the failure in Valentino begins. Besides directing the film, Russell co-wrote the screenplay with Mardik Martin. I can only wonder how much of an effect editor Stuart Baird had on the final product, but it appears to have been very little, because the film reeks of overproduction. Admittedly, Rudolph Nureyev (in his first screen acting role) was an excellent choice to play Valentino. Vet even his dancing cannot make up for a script in which his character goes from arrogant to compassionate to greedy to innocent to just plain stupid. Valentino doesn't develop as a character, he just shifts emphasis from one scene to the next. The narrative structure of the film contributes to this lack of depth. The movie begins with Valentino already dead and lying, somewhat placidly, in a casket. Gradually, those people who were in some way connected with Valentino enter to pay their respects. As they do, each one in turn offers themselves as a reference point against which the film then cuts back to the past. What we end up with through this framing technique is a neatly-tied package of the life of Valentino as seen through the eyes of those around him. How strange that the characters are able to recall events so chronologically. As perverts as a neon meat dream of an octafish, the music of Captain Beefheart is a diverse whatever of blues, jazz, rock and roll and the special scent of Zappa's B.O. There couldn’t be a better band to supply music for Your Halloween costume party. You're even invited to His Halloween party, at the Moot Hall Nitedub. YOWSUHI Gat you tix today! Thin and stiff Apart from Nureyev, the acting is no help either. Leslie Caron, Michelle Phillips, Carol Kane, and even Huntz Hall of the old "Dead End Kids" provide some of the thinnest, most stiffly acted supporting roles I've ever seen. But again, is it them, or is it the script? If the film is at ail bearable, it is on account of the camera work: This was especially evident at the beginning of the film, when the large, elegant dance hall which Valentino worked in was nicely contrasted with his small, dingy apartment One irritating feature, though, was the centering of so many images on the screen, as if Russell were trying to present such an orderly world. Why, then. I wonder, does Valentino so often manage to go out of control? Page fourteen. The Spectrum Friday, 21 October 1977 .

Albert Kina, by Tim Switala on* Spectrum Music Staff The death of one local band and the subsequent birth of another highlight a year in Buffalo music that Will not soon be forgotten. The first came with the final performance of Buffalo's premiere progressive vehicle, Rodan, on the first of October. Rodan was one of the few bands in the area that was promoting "Progressive" sounds, both cover material and original compositions (the other group being Pegasus, hard workers exercising a strictly original format). The group’s decision to dissolve came with the departure of key components of the Rodan organization. Guitarist Bruce Brucato decided to leave the group for reasons that were "partly financial," centered around differences over decision making within the group; feeling that he couldn't agree with the way the group was going about getting into the business. Although Brucato felt a great deal of respect for what he considered some of the finest musicians in the area, he also felt a need for change in his attitude towards performing; a change which culminated a long hard decision —continued on page 20 — Weren't bom yesterday Don't let the name fool you: Babys mature about music It never occurred to me that rock audiences or listeners of this music would chastize a band because of its chosen namesake. A similar situation occurred in the early seventies with one of the most notable pop groups of the decade The Raspberries. Anyway, The Babys are a quartet of twenty-three-year-old gents hailing from London. But let me quickly impose right here that they are not new wave, and they are not punk. Most people think that anything coming from England today reeks of safety pins. But the group is definitely not of this regime. At any rate, I spoke with vocalist/bassist for the Babys, John Waite, and he — confided that the formation and present success of the group is nothing short of miraculous. Everything started when John returned from Cleveland after trying to form a band with all roads leading to failure and frustration. The old rags to riches soon started when he spell bumped into keyboards/guitarist Mike Corby in some pub. The two of them hit it off and started playing in some old warehouse near the London docks. Next, persuaded drummer Tony Brock from his former mates after watching him play in a pub one evening. And, as for guitarist Wally Stocker, well he supposedly rolled off the wall. Which just goes to show that guitarists aren't made, they’re processed into wallpaper, hung out to dry, and later synthesized to life so that great bands will be formed for future generations. However, they all had some sort of common interest which held them together.

So, there lot good was of skepticism old-fashioned everywhere they showed it. But Chrysalis didn't bother to piss around and just came up to them one day and said: We like this here's some money.

Maybe you've heard statement before, but the Babys are most definitely a band for the What they've done is virtually combined what was once the ipitomy of Merseybeat and fit seventies. it into a much more melodic stroke of heaviness cum powerful guitar.

The Spy Who Loved Me you're driving on the highway home and out of the radio, "Nobody Does it Better" jangles your senses. Hell, you think, wasn't that the song just heard in the movie? Stay tuned because radio stations are becoming more like soundtrack records than ever before. The mediums of pop music and the cinema are now kindred, a quick inspection of Billboard will verify this. What's being bought at the record stores lately are movie soundtracks from the popular flicks around town. Trekking into the past, we see that the first rock music act to record for a film was Simon and Garfunkel and their memorable accompaniment for The Graduate Since then, and especially within the past few years, the way to cash in on both vinyl and celluloid is to create a hit song to play over the title sequence and the closing credits. The catch is that the public will either see the movie if they've heard the song or buy the soundtrack album (or single) after they’ve seen the movie. After The Graduate, the trend got onto its feet gradually. At the fade-out of the Ws, the seething classic drama, Midnight Cowboy, produced two offspring singles. "Everybody's Talkin'," half-whined by Nilsson, was the perfect device to evoke the decrepit Tatso Rizzo bustling along side Joe Buck on a New York City street. Riding on this appeal, the schmaltz team of Ferrante and Teicher had their cover of "Theme from Midnight Cowboy" high on the charts. Curtis Mayfield followed suit a couple of years later with the well-known score of Super Fly. A tasty mix of, soul/rock tunes depicting the life of the down-and-out ghetto drug scene, the album sold extemely well. The title cut and "Freddie's Dead" were spawned onto the record buyers and they bought it relentlessly. At the same time, Burt Bacharach Fever hit the screens and turntables with Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. The phenomenally-selling catchy pop tune, "Raindrops Keep Failin' On My Head," was subsequently recorded by many male and female vocalists after B.J. Thomas had his original soundtrack version immortalized ; I Gives crowd stomach aches by Danny Parker and Andrew Rots Last Sunday night at Clark Gym, comedian Robert Klein entertained a sweltering, standing room only crowd comprised mainly of University students. In an interview following the show Klein described his trade; "My job is to make people laugh so hard their stomachs ache and their cheeks hurt." By entering the show wearing a bulky winter coat and spewing forth damning gestures aimed at the Buffalo weather, Klein made the audience laugh before uttering his first word. His humor seemed spontaneous and demanded some degree of audience ad-libbed, used gestures, He involvement. eye-contact, mimickry and other comic methods to communicate his message as he moved quickly from subject to subject. One of his favorite targets was television commercials. He commented on the blatant sexual references in many commercials: "How about the Noxoma commercial with Joe Namath shaving to a sexy voiced girl singing "Greet Balls of Comfort". He also alluded to the lack of logic of other commercials (mimicking a middle aged woman): "Geritbl. Taking it is the most important thihg I can do for my family." (in his own voice) "How about feeding them first lady?" Another favorite topic of Klein's was our fair city. "Is it true Buffalo is the Bowling or "If I fall off the side Capitol of the world?" of the stage, is a lane buzzer gonna buzz?" , — — contained material too "controversial" for viewing by the general public. According to Klein, the network objected to a ten second film of paramecium performing asexual reproduction. Klein, obviously upset over this setback, commented: "They let Mac Davis undress his shirt to his penis, (am I allowed to say penis?), they wardrobe Cher in outfits which reveal all the nothingness she has to reveal, but watching paramecium asexually reproduce is considered too controversial for the American public . . Are they afraid the American public will become turned on?" . A musical interlude Towards the end on his hour and twenty minute show, Klein, in an effort to display some of his musical chops, brought out Raymond Johnson, (a musician affiliated with a New York club), to accompany him on piano while he played the blues harmonica and sang. Klein parodied Morris Albert's hit song "Feelings" overemphasizing the crooning and false emotion, of that song. Klein concluded with an improvised song whose title was chosen from audience catcalls. "Okay, 'Hot Tuna and Buffalo Drive-in.' it'll be a ballad." It wasn't just die clever lyrics that made the song funny; delivery and spontaneity were also important factora which everywhere. In the early times of the 1970's, there were more songs culled from films which reached mass taste. The Sting moved into Academy Award stature, along with a bright score of Scott Joplin adaptions by Marvin Hamlisch, MCA released "The Entertainer" as a single and influenced the success of his humor. Back at his motel room across from the airport, Joplin rags were given a considerable revival. All the kids on the block Klein made an analogy between being a comedian were hooked to this musical ditty and even older folks were humming and landing a jumbo jet. "A pilot just doesn't land a it.

Other than the current Carly Simon song, the first few Bondies had sleek, MOR title compositions (Goldfinger, From Russia With Love, You Only Live Twice, and Thunderball) . Rock entered the picture (literally) with help from Paul McCartney and Wings' title track for Live and Let Die. It was very spectacular listening, for the blaring horns and the sly melody gave one a preview for the film's activities. The past two years have been holding playlists infested with smash singles from the local bijou. The Capra-sibling, Rocky had its score by Bill Conti brainwashed into every other sports show and T V. situation comedy parody. Barbara Streisand co-wrote the theme from her box-office blast, A Star Is Born, with Paul Williams, entitled "Evergreen" and it garnered her an Academy Award. The single was a big one for the AM jocks and the Streisand freaks. Turn on the FM Top 40 station of your choice and in one-half hour, you're bound to hear "You Light Up My Life," from the same-named film and any number of versions of the them from Star Wars. The latter soundtrack should fast become a standard for car 8-track units to play when one wishes to go into "hyperspace" down the near-by thoroughfare. As long as money exists the association between pop music and the film industry is likely to be a long-lasting bond. You may question if this is an example of the artist selling out to the popularity quota, but the fad has truly a progressive sense. Expansion of the two mediums is integrally ingenious, and besides, the days of Alfred Newman majestic orchestral blitzes are fading out and modern times 1 . are setting in. , Page sixteen.

Dance Band On the Titanic is as inconsistent and bland as alt of the previous Chapin albums released in the past few years. Harry needs a producer other than his brother, Stephen, and a concentration on shorter, better-written songs. I can't take too much of his simplistic moralizing. His tales which are told in each song are quite boring and non-dramatic.

Come the Second Salience, the next step, a new day, how shall our shadows reflect the growth of the mountain? Is our sense of a common deep, or have we cast ourselves a Shallow tide? The darkness and the daylight knows. Only our being shows. With the power and the majesty, sensitive tapestries cluster like nova's aftermath, a new life in the sky, shedding more explosive subjects than any death can object to. Let us encounter some stars. The Great Concert of Cecil Taylor (Prestige) is but one of a lifetime of masterpieces from the pianistic lord of Luyah. From the classic Nuitsde la Fondation Maeght series (originally on the French table Shandar), this trilogy (a single tune of six scenes) is entitled "Second Act of A," and the formulative turbulence to be foundtherein speaks strongly of a world spiritual. Guided by Mantu, billowing as Tolkien himself would have upon playing the Music of his Creation's verse (The First Age of Middle Earth; reckon, if you're ready, with The Silmaril/ion) the bond extends as Cecil literally cries the ecstatic. underlying pianissimo, centering from the ember wisdom of African talking drum to the Aeolian , affinities of llluvatar. Indeed, in the tradition of such collective unity, the Music leaps and sings suites that even the most thorough of Masters will find pleasant surprise in. To say Andrew Cyrille is one of the most musical of drummers would be superfluous. He shifts and sways and instigates percussive fluidity. Jimmy Lyons’ volatile alto bounds jauntily (as ever) to the task, as Sam Rivers' plasmatic contours flow as a cornucopia yields fine fruit. His roaringly tenor saxophone often couples with Jimmy to produce a solar storm of harmony, while his helix-like soprano enhances the hypnotic flavor of Taylor's chant at the beginning of Scene 4. Almost an entity itself at times, the chant, at once very Harlem and Afro-Eastern oriented, presents a further build-up of calming forces. Let this Concert become a feeling of ageless potential in your hands, waiting to become a beautifying reality for the world. FRIENDS OF CAC present Hr WJ * » instrumentalist.

I'm thinking of takin' the easy way out. Open the window. I'll fall to the ground. / could do it wouldn't be much to it... — Leo was better when he was depressed. I remember the days when I received our melodic kicks from listening and mimicking (the sincerest form of flattery) the offbeat, simple songs of Leo. When I heard his voice, I never felt less than amazed. Those times are gone and he is now under the thumb of producer Richard Perry. My crew and I are likely to lynch Mr. Perry should he happen to drop accidentally into our neighborhood. Thunder In My Heart, the second Perry product, signals the true artistic demise of Leo on records. Endless Flight Leo's latest, was commercially compelling but certainly intriguing enough to hear him cover other composers' material. The new release is essentially a disaster, simply because it displays Richard Perry and his stockpiled slickness running amuck. This is exactly the fate I have feared for Leo. Instead of following the composer variation of Endless Flight (Danny O'Keefe, Andrew Gold, Mann and Weil, etc.), a stale set of 2 or 3 writers was sent in with a file of unmemorable tunes. There are a few collaborations with Leo, who is a lyricist, and this composing circle of Tom Snow, Michael Qmartian and Johnny Vastano. The only tunes which succeed are the ones from the team of Leo and Albert Hammond, "Easy to Love" and "I Want You Back." Excesses only make bad material worse. Just about every cut contains an annoying string or horn arrangement. The sound is so uninspiring, every track sounds the same. I have a hunch that songwriters here were clones of each other. The musicians are all topnotch studio sidemen but this just adds more to the overdone my musical amigos and polish. The dynamic singing of Leo still never fails to startle. With the masses of consumers in mind and perhaps a hungry wallet, Leo's words have lowered down to pedestrian love ballads which are far from his potential. Unique, autobiographical vignettes is what Leo stood out for to me and unless he reverts back to fromer attitudes, which I guess is unlikely, he will be gone from my admiration, as another artist is shot to Sellout Land.

Dramatic events there are produced by a student run, college funded, organization known as Casting Hall. Casting Hall presents works by guest artists the likes of The Theatre Labortoire Vicinal of Belgium, and The Performance Group (under the direction of Richard Schechner) of New York City, to the school and to the city of Buffalo. Such unique and exciting companies have given dazzling performances at State that were well attended and well received. Casting Hall also produces plays directed by Buff State theater faculty and enacted by Buff State students. Arthur Schnitzler's La Ronde, directed by Donald Savage and running now until October 22 at Upton Hall, is such a production. This is where my puzzlement comes in. After being exposed to some of the most inventive work in modern world theater, why do the people at Buff State produce some of the most lackluster and uninteresting work possible for a college Jy theater? La Ronde, written in 1896, is certainly Schnitzler's best known work. It is a highly literate, yet realistic, comedy about ten heterosexual relationships: a whore and a soldier have a casual fling by a bridge; the soldier and a parlormaid rendezvous in the park; the maid is seduced by her employer; on and on the liasons overlap. and the characters presented include an adulterous married couple, a name young woman, a poet, an actress, a Count and. finally, bade to the whore. A complete circle is made; la ronde. There are differences in texture and mood and attitude mitten into each of the ten scenes by Schnitzler. Each couple is portrayed before and after intercourse, however their interactions ieadmg up to and following sex differ. • En Francais French theater company to present lonescu in Buffalo The Treteau de Paris is coming to Buffalo! Have you ever had the vague impression that, despite the Albright- Knox-Gallery, Kleinhans Music Hall, and various vestiges of by-gone Queen City grandeur, Buffalo is lacking in cultural events? Well here is an announcement that might change your mind; the Treteau de Paris is coming to Buffalo! In defiance of an article on Buffalo which appeared some time ago in the New York Times Sunday Supplement and which ended with the categorical statement that "people with genius leave Buffalo and never come back," this courageous French theater company is indeed returning to this area. To honor the 20th anniversary of the longest running production In history of the Parisian theater,. Le Treteau de Paris under the leadership of Jean de Rigault with their world-famous performance of Eugene Ionesco's La Cantatrice Chauve (The Bald Soprano). the original production in 1950 at the Theatre des Noctambules (literally: Theater of the Nightwalkers) will head the cast in the role of Mr. Martin. La Cantatrice chauve has been performed at La Huchette well over 6000 times and has been acclaimed by the most prestigious critics during its tour through Europe, Isreal, and Japan. The evening’s progran will open with a selction of songs and sketches by Jacques Prevert, gaily and tenderly evocative of the streets and squares of the other queen city, Paris, "la reime du monde." This part, entitled Larimaquoi? Larimarienl is a timely tribute to the memory of the author of the melancholic and haunting song "Les Feuilles mortes," and of Les Enfants du paradis (Children of Paradise) whose filmed version by Marcel Came may be known to most of us. Ionesco's anti-play in eleven absurd scenes is an attack on all the sacred cows of our culture; marriage, individuality, social decorum, logical thought, our notions of time and space, and language as a means of communication. In this play Ionesco Nicolas Bataille WBEN who AF/FM/TV staged deprives language of its semantic function; verbal signs become mere noise filling an even more burdensome silence. The student of French may take heart; repetitions of repetitions and sentences for sentences' sake are familiar to him; the next time around he'll surely catch on. The final scene coversation on stage consists of a series of worn-out nonsense-sentences, commonplaces, and pseudo-proverbs of which 'Take a circle, caress it, and it will become vicious" belongs to those which seem to have a hidden truth-content. Finally, this conversation turns from a play on words into a play on sounds, gorgeous tongue breakers that should drive any amateur of the French language into a frenzy. Needless to add, there are also those puns which only a native or near-native speaker is able to pick up. In short, this play should delight, disturb, or infuriate its audience. Not only do we leave the theater wondering why the play is entitled La Cantatrice Chauve but also because we sense vaguely that we as theater goers have been made fun of. And this is precisely why we dare call this ev6nt a truely cultural event. Only "culture vultures" do not realize that culture has to continously put itself into question. The performance of Le Treteau de Paris are sponsored by the Association Francaise daction Artistique in collaboration with the Cultural Service of the French Embassy in the United States. The Buffalo performance on Thursday, October 27, 8 p.m. at Kenmore West Senior High School Auditorium, 33 Highland Pkwy. is sponsored by the of SUCB in Foreign Language Department Victorian sexuality Savage and his company have played upon die most surface character traits of the lovers. In one episode, a husband is a tdkabwe, boring philosopher trying to explain to his wife why he hat only made love to her a few times during their five year marraige. In the next scene he should be a physically hungry man on the make iter a nineteen year-old in a private room of a restaurant. The actor plays Itae two contrasting scenes with the same dull, tired expression. The company has mistaken sexual politics and love gams for turn of the century prudery. A woman might put off her lower before yielding for a number of reasons: displeasure, a subtle power play, fear, a tease. In the Buff State production a woman hesitates only to find out if the man is sincere and truly loves her. It seems as if they bairn any depictions of Victorian sexuality must be puritanied. Schnitzler's script is a fresh and honest study on mde/femde so dosed relations in the bedroom. This production, however, minded that Schnitzler comes off as a virgin who teds dirtily duty « jokes. The evening at Upton Hall Auditorium was all the more unpleasant because of a small but rude audience that tried to humiliate the house manager and called out to friends acting on the stage. Casting Hall is to be admired for their activity (presenting local and visiting talent and exposing the community to foreign and exciting theater), however. Casting Hall makes no attempt to monitor their own work. By the impressive guests that they invite to their campus, tfiey seem to recognize quality theater.

A change, that he is striving to successfully complete by his collaboration with bassist Bill Sheehan is the formation of Light Years. The decision of Bmcato's to split from Rodan was not the total reason for disbandment, however. With the plans of Litftt Years underway, sound engineer Tim Rinkerman decided to also leave Rodan to apply his technical ability to the new youp. Rinkerman owned the majority of Roden's sound amplification system (mixing board, PA system) and with his leaving, the group was not only faced with finding substitute instrumentation but was hard pressed to reproduce thousands of dollars of sound quality immediately. Rodan's style wasn't exactly packing the clubs and their weak finances just made the split inevitable. Roden's remains So the next question asks what will happen to the remainder of the members of Rodan. Starting immediately will be the addition of percussive giant Tad Reinhardt to the jazz fusion group Spyro Gyra. Keyboardist Rick McGirr is planning to launch a classically influenced rock group with such area musicians as drummer Eddie Folger and bassist Greg Piantek while the remaining members isinger Tom Reinhardt and bassist Bill Ludwig) are unanchored, although they both wish to pursue careers in the jazz field. Meanwhile, Light Years prepare their debut. Bassist Bill Sheehan's availability may be puzzling to those that presently find him playing out with Talas. What happened is that Sheehan was asked to leave the group by the other members, causing the opportunity for Light Years, but h currently finishing up an agreed commitment. Sheehan cited a number of reasons for his being asked to leave, the majot ones stemming from feelings of jealousy and overshadowment that the other members of Talas, drummer Paul Varga and guitarist Dave Constatino, expressed. Sheehan pointed out that many of the technical aspects of Talas were his respondsibility; that included the majority of arrangements and decisions on cover material. Sheehan feds that aspects of public rdations that concerned Talas tended to surround him (photographers, fans wearing Bill Sheehan buttons) and that this had a direct effect in his expulsion from the group. Sheehan has cast aside any hard fedings, however, and is intent on the new |poup: a group he feds will fufill his professional interests and achieve the technical elevation that he could never find in Talas. Wail bassist Dale Croston is the projected replacement for Talas. Four LH0it Years Years will surface as a four man group featuring Brucato and Sheehan as wdl as a drummer from Rochester named Mark Miller (once with the group Aurora, and is presently doing session work for various artists in Rochester). The singer remains a surprise for now, but ■Sheehan promises that the position will be fufilled by someone who can contribute as a fourth member rather than just a singer. The intentions of the group will be to perform an intelligent brand rock music that will sustain an energy level high enough to allow of physical involvement: Liflht Years will prove to be more than just head music. Cover material will encompass everything, from Be-Bop Deluxe and Cheap Trick to King Crimson and Genisis. Added instrumentation will enhance Light Years' audio/visual stage presence; Sheehan expanding to a new design of a bass pedals ( a unit consisting of fifty pedals) while Brucato will play a device called an orchestron, a laser-operated meHotron-like ensemble that uses laser beams and recorded cfiscs at opposed to tapes. The people of Buffalo should anticipate the coining of Light Yean, they will provide tome needed hope for this tragic city and its depressed musical exposure. The people should also fear the break-up of Rodan; the ultimate reason for their finish reflects back to this same depression. Watch for these excellent musicians, not just Light Yean but the dispatched ex-Rodants as well.

Burke felt that the matter is complicated by the fact that the handicapped and their special problems have not been a major issue until the last few years. ‘They weren’t a political force to deal with.” The Federal Government has also been without mechanism to enforce its standards until recently.

They must, in a sense, prove the market wrong if they are to lay claim to being the superior newspaper. There are also inherent differences between morning and evening newspapers. A morning paper usually gets the stories that break during a 9 to 5 day first, but before all the repercussions are evident. During the week a morning paper is one which is read quickly over coffee or before beginning the working day. Thus, articles are usually shorter and get directly to the point. Evening publications are usually “Living Room Papers” read after work, at a more leisurely pace. The hard news has often been already grabbed by the morning paper, so that evening artides frequently tend toward the analytical than the informationa. There are usually longer, more in-depth artides, and more light features. Weekend papers are, of course, much different.

Plage twenty-two The Spectrum Friday, 21 October 1977 . • MOVIE • Ul Hi Warren Buffet, the owner of the Buffalo Evening News goes way back in the newspaper business. As a boy, Buffet delivered the Washington Post. Today he owns 10.5 percent of the Post non-voting stock and wields power in that and other publications, including the Boston Globe. Buffet, described as an “investment wizard” is listed by Standard A Poor’s Register of Directors and Executives as being the chairman of eight different corporations and a member of the Board of Directors of eight others. Buffet is the major stockholder in Blue Chip Stamps Inc., a Los Angeles based company which purchased the News last spring for $33 million. The paper was published by Edward Butler from 1880 until his death in 1914. Butler left the paper to his son Edward H. Butler who passed away in 1956. His widow served as President until her death in 1974. Time magazine reported that Buffet had considerable influence over Katherine Graham, the publisher of the Washington Post. The magazine describes Buffet as “virtually an unpaid Washington Post Co. executive.” Courier’s own employees. “What I’m afraid is going to happen,” one News staff member observed, “Is that the Courier will go out of business and the News will get blamed.” This attitude was reaffirmed by other people at the News. “No newspaperman wants to see the Courier fold,” said another staffer, “1 have a lot of friends down there.” The News’ concern for the Courier is understandable. Most obvious is the fact that without a competing paper, bargaining position for the Reporters Guild at the News would be severely weakened. Also, individual , could no longer reporters “threaten” management with jumping to the Courier. There is a feeling among all genuine reporters that the Courier makes the News a better paper and vice versa. The competitive drive within a reporter, the intrinsic staisfaction in beating a rival to a stray, would be lost should the Courier eventually fold. Pretty ptaKd off Staff members at the Courier were very straightforward in their attitudes towards the News’ Sunday morning motives. “I really don’t think there is any question they’re trying to put us out of business,” a Courier staffer commented. Another employee termed the News’ action “a direct threat” and an attempt to “take over the entire market.” Despite this sobering view, Courier people simply would not express any fears about their paper folding. There was a general feeling that the City of Buffalo is on the Courier’s side, as the paper assumes the “underdog local company battling out of town millionaire” role. "Buffalo is a very provincial place,” said a Courier reporter, “1 think people are pretty pissed off at the News for starting this.” This “the-people-are-on-our-side” attitude has been backed up by a mysterious bumper sticker that is popping up on cars all over town. The sticker, for which Courier denies all management responsibility, reads: “Send your money west Buy the Buffalo Evening News." A Courier staff member said in response to the stickers, “I don’t know where those bumper stickers came from, but I think it's pretty indicative of the kind of place Buffalo is.” - • 12 Mid Tickets only $1.50 in adv. $2.00 at the door Tickets available at all Purchase Radio stores U.8.

He emphasizes, however, that the National Weather Service (NWS) estimates the chances of such a recurrence at one in 30. And the Buffalo snow removal task force is geared up and ready to tackle anything that the remaining 29 chances may bring. A large influx of new equipment is a primary reason for this preparedness. Buffalo now has devices known as “unimogs.” There are a trio of these four-wheel drive vehicles, all equipped with snow blower, deep plow and a straight edge. Highly maneuverable, these "unimogs” will be invaluable in Buffalo’s residential areas and on the narrower streets. Soon to join the “unimog” force are ten heavy-duty trucks, including six single axle trucks and four tandem axle trucks, all variously equipped with front plows, wing plows and salt spreader bodies. Along with the tons of salt they will be spreading on the wintry streets of Buffalo, a spray substance called calcium chloride will be introduced. Snow and streets According to Pierakows, calcium chloride sp'ray, used in conjunction with salt at temperatures around 20’F and below, hastens the melting process. He claimed that the process is instantaneous.” When questioned about using calcium chloride exclusively to avoid salt corrosion, he replied, “It’s just too expensive.” Department of Transportation official Steve Schwartz concurs. “There’s an investment problem . . . along with it being a more technically-oriented substance.” Sand or abrasives used on the country roads were ruled out entirely because of possible damage to the sewer system. Snow task force The revamping in the Streets Department was not solely restricted to the equipment. A Snow Task Force Report was prepared under City Corporation Counsel Les Foschio, and already changes are being made in the force structure. The Department itself has been beefed up with more manpower. And instead of the three eight-hour shifts with which they operated last year, two 12-hour shifts will be implemented. While this entails a longer stretch on the road for the men, it also gives them adequate time to rest, recuperate and therefore be more prepared for the duties of the next shift. Along with less wear and tear on the men, upkeep of the equipment will be facilitated. There will hopefully be enough trucks on the road to allow a few to remain behind for maintenance purposes. Last year’s fleet.was decimated by the combined effects of 71,000 continuous miles and little or no time for checkups and repairs. 90 inohc* In addition to efforts being made by the city, a contract bid was opened this past Monday, to bring private contractors into Buffalo’s snow removal scene. With more manpower and a teaming up of city and private forces, Pierakows says the Department of Street Sanitation is prepared to take care of Buffalo’s average 85-90 inch snowfall this winter. To prepare themselves for another Winter of ’77 is unfeasible. ‘That’s an expenditure of two thirds of a million dollars on an ‘if basis the city can’t afford,” maintained Pierakows. “If there’s another such emergency, we’ll need the help of the Army and the National Guard again.” What remains to be seen is just what type of winter is in store for the Western New York area. The Farmer’s Almanac predicts another winter of blizzards for Buffalo, while, as reported earlier, the NWS are giving the odds at 30:1. Deputy Director Pierakows reports that other national weather services, National Accuweather among them, say they have the information to predict the weather up to December, although they have not disclosed their findings. A call to the National Acuweather Service failed to support this claim. In fact, the Acuweather official unequivocally denied it as false. So it seems you need more than a weatherman to tell which way the winter winds \fcill blow. Experience helps University maintenance gets ready for one more winter by Lee Scott Perres Spectrum Staff Writer The Farmer’s Almanac predicts a Buffalo winter at least as bad as last year’s and the University is planning for heavy snow this year. Vice President for Finance and Management Edward Doty outlined the policy for winter school closings. “When weather conditions become so bad as to prevent adequate bus service between the campuses, prevent campus roads and especially parking lots from being kept clear, the University will announce school is closed by 6 a.m. over local radio stations. If the decision cannot be made by 6 a.m., it will be made as soon as the decision to close occurs. In the event of school closing, everyone except essential pefsonnelis asked to stay away from campus.” Personnel essential for the functioning of the University include Security, Food Service persons, maintenance, powerhouse workers and animal care persons. If the snows do come, there are problems that even the essential personnel are faced with. With wind sometimes whipping around at 60 miles per hour, there are “whiteouts,” snow blowing so hard that it causes near zero visibility. There are Maintenance people out in large machinery, and while they have never been called off the streets, their movement can be restricted for safety reasons. New Equipment will help Physical Plant Director of the Amherst Campus Dean Frederics has some new equipment to make general snow removal easier. The equipment includes a new plow and plowing vehicle. This machinery will supplement the current inventory of two all-wheel drive front loaders, two tractor loaders, three big tfuck plows, plus an army of jeeps and tractors and will help make Amherst snow removal easier. According to Frederics, “The Main Street Campus uses smaller machinery to remove the snow. We did shuttle equipment back and forth between Main Street and here There was a great cooperative effort this past winter.” According to Frederics, the biggest problem seemed to be equipment breakdown. “When you plow 24 hours a day, seven days a week, it’s bound to take its toll,” Frederics commented. Supervisor of Grounds Dick Bohn explained the problem with the North Campus terrain. “We put up about a mile of snow fence but due to the terrain we can’t put them all over.” He further explained that for snow fences to be effective, they have to be at least 100 feet away from the road or pathway it’s protecting. The fences cause the snow to swirl, piling it up against the fence to make a snow wall. Sinoe many roads on campus have only 30-foot shoulders, snow fences would cause the roads to be buriad. “Once a fence is covered by snow. It is no good anyway,” Bohn commented, ‘Whoever expected that much snow last year?” Cold causes chagrin Problems were also caused by the freezing cdU temperatures as well as the heavy snowfalllast yaw. “Many people were out joy riding to see what the campus looked like and this earned us seac problems,” Bohn explained. “Even with core stranded all over the roads, there was no damage done to any vehicles during the removal process.' Another problem caused by the cold was the gelhqg of the diesel fuel used in many of the vehicles This made refuelling the machines very -difficult. Thane was minor damage done to lawns, street light poles, fire hydrants and signs. They were baried by snow and just couldn’t be seen. - “We are always looking for new methods,” Bohn said. “Rock salt was always usd on the roads but at IS degrees, it’s ineffective unless there is heavy traffic or sun on it." Maintenance is now investigating the use of other abrasives sudh as grit., sand and cinders. “The ice conditions when the* was no snow were much worse than when there w snow. Wc hope to get a larger salt spreader to help us with this problem,” Frederics added. Cooperation is key Frederics later said. “Success depends on cooperation between us, the Town of Amherst, students and faculty. Our primary objective is tn keep roads open for emergency equipment. Then we try to clear the roads and parking lots for the morning classes.” One possible problem forseen by Maintenance was the clearing of parking lots. Since they a»e utilized much more this year, the added cars make removal difficult. "We can’t put snow on Ike shrubbery,” said Dick Bohn, “It would kill then. The islands in the lots make removal hard too. If they weren’t there, we could dean them easily. There just isn’t anywhere to put the snow.” All things considered, Maintenance was not fearful of the coming winter. Equipment is already being readied for the first snowfall. “We have the horses,” Frederics commented, “It just depends on how things come We are more optimistic than pessimistic.’ Students and faculty were requested to utilize the already cleared areas so the coveted ones can be cleared. This may mean a bit more walking, but it will make life and snow removal much easier. Friday, 21 October 1977 . The Spectrum .

Geri Lynn Weinstein by Karen Major Spectrum Staff Writer It becomes clear upon entering that this is not just another supermarket, it is the store of the future. “Superstores” have existed on the west for about 10 years, but Wegmans is the first to bring this concept to New York State. This type of store makes it possible for one-stop shopping. Found within Wegmans is a drug store with two pharmacists on staff, a fabric and clothing center, a plant shop, imported items, and just about every type of food imaginable. “Most supermarkets have 15,000 items on their shelves. We have over 60,000,” said Anne Verbeck, Wegmans’ Customer Representative at the Albert Road store, next to the Boulevard Mall. shoppers “Most are enthusiastic over the idea of one-stop shopping. It saves them time because a lot of little things making shoppers go to another store for, will be right here,” said Verbeck, adding, “Some people have told us they don’t like the store because it’s too big.” Wegmans Tip for Tops Wegmans is privately owned and has been in business for over 30 years. The operation originated in Rochester, where it started as a small gorcery store owned by Robert Wegman. The business was successful and - q branches got involved in festival little help from QFflA 97 - proudly present THE CRUSADERS with special guest saxophonist GARY BflRTZ Saturday, October 29th - were other enterprises, including “Old West” pant shops and gas stations. Jimmy Wegman has since retired UUflB music commiTTEE with and opened around the city. Wegman passed the business on to his son Jimmy, who expanded the stores 8:00 Shea's Buffalo Theatre and the business is now managed by his son Daniel. There have been various reports that Wegmans expanded into the Buffalo area to give stiff food competition Tops to markets, a leading Buffalo-based chain. “Many people may have gotten this idea from a commerical which stated if a customer saw an item for less in Tops, to tell us,” said Verbeck. “We didn’t mean anything bad, it was. a compliment. We think they are good and we want to be just as good.” A management employee said that there is a strong rivalry the between two stores. “Wegmans will send people into Tops to check the displays and find out how well they are doing.” Many customers think that a lot of heat is wasted through the wide, open air entrance. However, Wegmans seems to be very conscious of energy conservation. “Seventy five percent of the store's energy is recycled,” clarified Verbeck. “We have equipment on the roof that reclaims lost energy which we then re-use.” The scanner flashes stores have installed the Accu Ring Checkout, a computerized system which records the item and its price in a matter of seconds. A laser beam runs across the check-out counter. When an object passes through, it triggers the computer into action, reading the Universal Product Code (UPC), black and white bars that appear on packaging. Newer Wegmans The checker will pass the UPC the scanner, a glass plate built into the counter. The scanner flashes the numbers to the store’s controller computer which has the price of each item stored in its memory file. At the same moment, a small screen over the counter flashes the name of the item and its price, for the convenience of the customer. Each scanner unit costs in the neighborhood of $20,000. The majority of shoppers feel that the best advantage Of this system is the receipt, a record of items purchased and their cost. Manual labor "The computers are fine as long as they work,” said Margaret Murray, a costomer. “Sometimes I’ve had to wait for the checker to pass an item over the scanner two or three times, only to have her ring it up manually. It would have been a lot quicker if she had done that in the first place,” she over complained. The glass plates on the scanners must be free of soil in order for the system to work right. “The checkers must clean the plates at least once an hour,” explained Verbcck. “With merchandise constantly passed over the plates, they become scratched and marked.

To make sure the stores are in good sanitary condition, Wegmans hired privately policing inspectors.

The kosher deli at the Alberta branch is a first for Wegmans and is in its trial stage. “It has been over extremely well,” informed Verbeck. Much of the produce is in bulk form, for the customer’s convenience, explained Verbeck. “In some stores a customer may have to buy three tomatoes when she only needs one because they are packaged. Here you can buy exactly what you need,” she added. The meat department will only keep meats on the shelves for three days, reported Verbeck. Meat is then taken to the back, and checked for quality. If it is deemed “good,” the meat is repackaged and set back out on the shelf for another day. The fabric department employs people trained in sewing.

Ludwig, (Helmut Gerger) supposedly has no stomach for war or politics. He does have an indelible passion for music, art and architecture, which he sponsors generously (with the taxpayers’ money). Indeed, his celebrated sponsorship of Richard Wagner’s compositions is also much criticized, and not without (Trevor due cause. Wagner Howard) uses, but does not abuse, our Mad King of Bavaria. Luchino Visconti directed and wfote the screen ply for Ludwig. and though it is difficult to decide whether the film’s defects lie in the direction or the writing, the blame nevertheless does rest with him.

Ludwig better left forgotten Then again, maybe it is not altogether Visconti’s fault that the film is rather droll. It could be that Ludwig, the Mad King, is belter left forgotten. Ludwig is little more than an historical artifact and his resurrection does nothing besides point out his bisexuality. However, the film is not totally without its good points.

Womiffiflt h&wUkg team begins season by loydark Sportt Editor When the women’s bowling team opens its season in West Virginia this weekend, there will be four new bowlers in the first team lineup.'Two of those are promising freshmen, one is a transfer who turned down a bowling scholarship from Indiana to attend UB and the fourth had the highest average of any woman' in the United States last year. Cindy Cobum, who averaged 211 last year to lead the nation, had also planned to attend Indiana University, which had offered her a scholarship. But she wasn’t impressed by either the location or the curriculum, and so she changed her plans to come to Buffalo. Junior Cobum, the daughter of professional bowler Doris Cobum, lives in the Buffalo area and transferred here from Erie Community. Sue Fulton had the same scholarship offer that Cobom did and she, too, came to UB for the same reasons. Coburn and Fulton have something else in common they were both members of the ECC team that traveled to the collegiate nationals last year. - Record setter ECC placed fourth in the women’s of that division tournament and Coburn led the pack with a 652 series. She also set a single game record in the tournament with a 269. In the district tournament that was the first step to the nationals. UB finished third behind ECC and Brock port (the first two finishers went on to the sectionals). This year, with two of ECC best bowlers, coach Jane Poland expects UB to go further. “We hope to win the ACUI (the district tournament),” she said. The two freshmen on the first team are Mary Lee Braniecki and Terry Strassel. Both average about I7S per game. Rounding out the first team is senior Patti Schafer. Poland emphasized that the starting lineup is not set. She will determine the lineup for each tournament by the howlers’ performances in practice. Buffalo’s first match is the Virginia University West invitational this weekend. This is the first time UB has gone to this prestigious tournament and they willhave some tough competition (West Virginia finished third in the women's division of the nationals last year). According to Poland, this tournament will he a testing ground for her team. Bowling problems In addition to the five starters, there are also seven other women “We’ve got a lot of on the squad. depth, a lot of steady howlers,” Cohum. “We have twelve people to choose from, instead of seven or eight like some other said teams.” Two of those bowlers were on last year’s first team, seniors Jane Nowaczyk and Minna Could Lombardi. Senior Liz Wolszczak and junior Chris Clemente were' on the Buffalo squad last year. Clemente is trying to change her throw from a back-up ball to a more effective throw. a Buboltz, Ann Mary sophomore transfer, is probably next in line for the first team, according to Poland. Buboltz, who averages about 165, has very good balance form, freshman Tina Stotz. and senior Carolyn Karanas are also working on some Stotz. is bowling problems. concentrating on learning spot bowling, while Karanas, a Squireleague standout, is trying to slow down her approach to the line. also TECHNOLOGY AND POLICY PROGRAM AT MIT The Massachusetts Institute ol Technology is now ottering a Master ol Science Program in Technology and Policy This program is designed tor persons wanting to participate m leading the development, use and control ol technology and its products Students apply systems approaches to such problems as the control ol automotive emissions, energy conservation policy, the use ot automation m manufacturing and the lilecvcle design ol goods The program may be particularly appropriate experience tor professionals with practical information write to For ae rcouvviiie School of Engineering Roam 1-138, MIT Cambridge, Meet. 02138 KTOt.

Night students, apparently frustrated in their attempts to register, simply giave up, resulting in a 35 percent decrease in the school’s enrollment figures. 5100 students were enrolled prior to 1975, 4660 as of that year and 3450 as of this fall. Until about 1973 the College handled its own registration. However, the University Administration felt this system was not “cost effective” since it duplicated efforts already taken on by the University’s Office of Admissions and Records (AAR). Thus, changes were implemented and MFC relinquished control of its State University of New York at Buffalo Vol.28. Wednesday, 10 registration. This year’s problems were due to a large backlog of admission’s material including data forms and applications. According to Assistant Dean of Admissions for MFC Eric Streiff, “Although students registered for courses in July, their data forms were not processed until after the course request forms.” Consequently, when students showed up, expecting to receive schedule cards, they left empty handed. ' . Lack of The confusion surrounding the admission’s procedure led to communicative problems. While the group of people responsible for the confusion knew the situation first hand, an entirely different group of people had contact with the students. The latter group, unable to explain and adequately direct students, simply told the unregistered students to come back. When the forms were finally processed, the courses were already closed. Another problem associated with registration was the lack of night registration hours for night students. Initially, there were no evening hours scheduled. A&R was open until 6:30 p.m. two nights a week. As Streiff pointed out, “This posed an extremely difficult problem for people who worked until 5:30.” Hours were eventually extended in response to demands, but at no point were the times stable or fixed. Streiff stated, “One cannot say that registration is 'entirely to blame for the drop in enrollment. There were this year, however, many students who simply felt ‘forget it’.” Immediate results needed “When MFC swtiched from handling its own registration no one analyzed the ‘cost effective’ situation,” Streiff said. He felt that, had this issue really been considered, “someone would have realized that with MFC’s being open every night, costs would have been lower than to extend hours for the University’s Office of Admissions and Records. Streiff concluded that a registration system is needed which produced immediate results. He added that this would mean vast changes that have been promised by the changes within the system University Administration. The registration prqcess may eventually go back to being centrally controlled by MFC itself. - October 20 Resister’s return: the opinions vary On Thursday, October 20, 1977, a Buffalo draft resister will end his seven year exile when at 12 noon he crosses the Peace Bridge and enters the United States. Bruce Beyer has been the subject of various articles in The Spectrum, and has been featured in columns of both the Courier Express and the Buffalo Evening News. Beyer’s controvertial story involves his resistance to the Vietnam war, the symbolic sanctuary he took in the Unitarian Universalist Church on West Ferry, and his consequent exile, after trials and sentencings, to Sweden and Canada. This past week WKBW-TV held an interview with Beyer, the last before his return home. On Thursday at 12 noon, a large congregation of reporters and interested persons, many of whom are members of concerned local organizations, will assemble at the American side of the Peace Bridge to witness his return. Ironically, Beyer will be accompanied by his defense attorney Ramsey Clark, who was, nine years ago, the Attorney General to whom he originally returned his draft card. In concurrence with their feelings about the Vietnam War and resistance to it, some people are sympathetic to Beyer’s case and others oppose his actions and beliefs. According to Ramsey Clark, who has been an advocate of amnesty for all Vietnam-era draft resisters, deserters and people who received less than honorable discharges, the real issue is overcoming the emotionalism of the sixties and doing the Dremuk names two Administration insists that students okayed ID card by John H. Reiss Managing Editor Director of Admissions and Records (A&R) Richard Dremuk has answered charges that students were not involved in the ID card decision by naming Student Association (SA) Director of Student Affairs Paul Glauber and Director of Student Activities Pat Lovejoy as two of the student officials who approved the design. He also asserted that at least one member of the present Council (IRC) Inter-Residency administration was also involved in that decision. Dremuk explained that the decision not to include students’ date of birth, address or signature was reached by the committee, comprised of both students and administrators, by the Spring of 1976. He said the committee agreed to these conditions “by vote.” The proposal was then sent to Executive Vice President Albert Somit and other University administrators, President including Robert Ketter, all of whom, according to Dremuk, approved the card. Said Dremuk, “It was one of the most reviewed documents I’ve ever seen.” the last SA administration told me there was an ID problem. We weren’t aware there was a problem.” He added that he, occupied with the Leverendum, was too busy at that time and that SA Vice President Andy Lalonde was busy working on the financial assembly. “We had to do the budget and Sub Board had to be set up,” Delia said. “Besides it was finals time.” When informed of Dremuk’s claim that a member of IRC participated in the decision, IRC Vice President Stephanie Freund admitted to having attended the May 1977 meeting She echoed Delia’s claims that administrators did not allow students to affect changes in the card’s design. Freund maintained that she explained to the committee’s administrators what she felt to be shortcomings of the card’s design, only to be told that decisions made in the past could not be amended. “When I brought up the question of date of birth,” Freund said, “they told me there was nothing they could do about it. They told me if I wanted a card with a date of birth, I should try to get sherriffs cards on campus.” Everyone agreed Freund’s version of the ID card committee Maybe I’m wrong dealings took a drastic turn from other students’ In May of that year, Dremuk claimed, Pat reports when she claimed that students on the Lovejoy and then SA Executive Vice President Steve committee eventually approved the present design. Speigel gave their consent to the design, remarking “The people on the committee took a vote on the only that a sticker for SA elections should be added various designs they were shown,” Freund said, “and to the card. Lovejoy admitted to having attended the everyone finally agreed on the design.” Freund thus meeting, but claimed she could not recall whether Becomes die first student official to claim that the design at that time included date of birth, students were indeed an integral part of the ID card address and signature. decision. “I seem to remember that it did.” Lovejoy said, Previously, students had claimed they were not “I don’t know, maybe I’m wrong.

She claimed, however, that the “all the information one would including date of borth, address and signature. administrators on the committee “didn’t care a hell card,” However, a committee report with Peres’ name on it, of a lot what the students said.” states ‘The address should be omitted from the new SA President Dennis Delia was furious when right thing. since it is subject to frequent change."

Be aware that each time Americans fail to recycle one ton of waste paper they sign an unnecessary death warrant for seventeen trees. Seventeen may sound paltry, but multiplied by the number of tons of paper discarded annually, 430 million trees would be saved each year if only we were less wasteful and more conscious. Towards the end of the 1960’s, there was a rapid growth in the trend toward conservation. Citizen groups, municipalities and private organizations initiated recycling centers as part of the effort to preserve protect and our environment. Recycling seemed to be an ideal many advantages and solution very few drawbacks. It offered a eliminating way of the environmental problems associated with both ends of the industrial — , Fizzled out As an added recycling process usually less energy than does making the product from taw materials. Recycling aluminum requires less than 3 percent of the energy needed for original production from bauxite ore. Assuming we can recover 70 percent of the discarded aluminum, the result would be a net energy benefit equivalent to saving over one billion gallons of gas. In these years of gas shortages this fact deserves careful attention. The recycling process also produces less industrial pollution than does making products from scratch. On the other side of the coin, recycling presents us with an easy solution to the garbage dump problem. The amount of waste created set up a recycling project for you but I’d need $100,000 to buy trucks and equipment,” he said. Every-changing markets are also a problem. “Markets arc real volatile. A couple of years ago the bottom just fell out of the newspaper market.” Stumm cited the current steel industry situation here as a major factor in the lowered prices for recycled steel. “Recycling was a big fad a couple of years ago. The same need is there,” said Stumm. “You do find some people with enthusiasm, but it’s not like it used to be.” Several attempts have been made by concerned students and faculty of Rachel Carson College to begin recycling projects at the Ellioott Complex, where the need is certainly evident. Many floors devised their own individual recycling programs, but these have dwindled. Currently, no organized recycling of paper, glass or metal operates at Ellicott. recycling has a tendency to alternately prosper and fade. In Buffalo interest has dwindled in the past few months. Many of the projects that had been working successfully have cut services back fizzled out drastically altogether. or' The Milo Recycling Cooperative is one example of a project that has cut down considerably, although it still functions. Last April, a core of ten volunteers made regular pickups from over 200 households in the Buffalo area. Presently, Milo is run by only two people Paul Spencer and Jim Stumm and has ceased regular pickups. “We do pickups for only a few, older people mostly.

Incredibly it was again behind local police headquarters. But they were destined to spend very little time there anyway: while compiling a street survey to determine the political leanings of Toronto youth, Bruce met a Swede by the name of Martin “who knew war resisters in Swedenand who even had an apartment in downtown Stockholm.” Ip a matter had taken of days Bruce had said good-bye to H the Rapido to Montreal, and was on a plane bound for Sweden, where a ready-made household waited for - — Beyer was elected to the sole paying position at The Center, an accomplishment he still speaks of as the highest honor possible from the American community there. For the equivalent of one hundred American dollars a month (in addition to supplements from the Swedish government), Bruce ran The Center for 1V4 years, becoming a kind of spokesman for American resisters in Sweden. Eventually he was interviewed by television crews from the United States (ABC, NBC and CBS), and by Russian, Italian and Roumanian journalists. Life in Sweden, no doubt, had its satisfactions: Beyer still speaks of Sweden as one of his “three countries.” But pressures from several unrelated sources began to build until he was looking for ways to return to Canada. ■ There were, for instance, regular and fearful “interviews” with INTERPOL, the European police who were, in effect, “NATO cops.” Relations with the Swedes, for Americans at large, began to degenerate as more Americans arrived. Finally, according to Beyer, Swedes blamed either Americans or southern Europeans for the increasing social allienation of Swedish youth, for growing drug abuse, and even, incredibly, for an outbreak of dysentery. At the same time, Bruce decided it was time to had leave Sweden to save his young marriage (H flown over to join him). Bruce increasingly identified himself with the American resistance community and turned to the Women s Movement (they’re H hostile to males). Both of them thought the move to Canada might shake things back together in their marraige (though that was not to be). Finally, the long, wretchedly dark Swedish winters had begun to take their toll on Beyer; night fell at 4 p.m. and hung on until 9:30 the following - him. “My intention at that point,” Beyer said, “was to become a Swede, not to come back to the States, not even to have any contact with Americans. "I immediately enrolled in language school, where I stayed for six months supported by the Swedish government.” For a time Beyer managed to stay exclusively in the company of his Swedish-born roommates who would purposefully speak only Swedish. “They clearly wanted me to become part of the Swedish Left,” he said. It helped that Martin’s father was a “middleclass Swedish Marxist,” a doctor at the Karilinska Institut (for cancer research), and an influential man.

Such is the inherent nature of the bureaucrat and the politician. Whatever pain that results from the haranguing can be remedied with a bottle of Maalox. The politician’s stomach is rarely sour.

That lack of communication results more often than journalists or public interest groups would ever care to admit. Meanwhile, lonely oldsters go lumpy, have their heat turned off, and become ill.

The Rat, as many students call it, needed a staff of five people to operate on Sundays, including four students. Payroll costs for the five approximated $105 while sales were only about $110. Sparse use of the Rat was not a new situation. During the last two fiscal years. Food and Vending Services operated at losses of between $7,000 and $18,000 “because of rising costs," said Hosie. Labor costs have risen 8 percent and food costs have gone up 11.6 percent. This year’s Food Service budget earmarks only $1.3 million for labor costs, $42,000 less than what was spent last year. “The Rat has always been a nice place to go for friendship; to do homework or just drop in for a glass of beer,” said one student. With the Sunday cutback students must find an alternate place. Most students expressed feelings like, “It’s a shame,’* and “I don’t come here on Sundays, anyway,” when asked for their comment.

Welcome home Bruce Beyer is coming home tomorrow. He has been in Swedish and Canadian exile for seven and one half years. He will be arrested as soon as he crosses the Peace Bridge. Ramsey Clark says so. He knows. Whan Beyer turned his draft card in to the federal government in 1967, Ramsey Clark was the U.S. Attorney General; now, he is Bayer's defense attorney. He received word late Monday night (and quickly telephoned Bill Berry, another of the original Buffalo Nine, who quickly telephoned another concerned individual who relayed the message to The Spectrum) that Beyer will be arrested on charges of bailiumping and additional charges of illegal flight to avoid prosecution, two federal offenses. No charges should greet Bruce Beyer upon his re-entry into the United States. And now that two exist, they should be dropped, immediately Welcome Bruce Beyer home tomorrow on the American side of the Peace Bridge at noon. He fought against an unjust war so that we wouldn't have to fight in it. Never forget that. Resign Who is this Barry Rubin and what gives him the right to run around Ellicott and rip down campaign posters of one Scott Chernick, who ran for Ellicott Area Council IRC President and lost? Rubin, IRC Vice-President for Activities, did not resign his post on the IRC Election and Credentials Committee when his roommate ran against Chernick. Because he didn't resign then and because he went around ripping down Chernick's posters, Rubin should resign now and save everyone involved in the proceedings at IRC the trouble of dealing with him in the future. Rubin has denied all the allegations against him, even though there are witnesses who have confirmed the charges in print. He it not telling the truth. He must be kidding. The strange and terrible saga of internal bickering at IRC continues with IRC Vice-President Stephanie Freund, who says, 'The committee decided that since Barry thought he was doing the right thing, nothing serious had occurred." Then she admits that Chernick may have been wronged. Then she says, according to today's front page, that Rubin was directed to write an apology to Chernick and that he did receive a fair shake. Then she says that IRC did not have a housing list with which to check votes, when the Housing Office claims that such a list did exist by September 25. Sound wishy-washy? It reminds one of another elected public official whose namesake made cars. He, too, pardoned a buddy of his. She is not telling the truth. She, too. must be kidding. A new ID We were privately hoping that administration officials had actually slipped by Student Association (SA) representatives the design for the ID card without the date of birth and signature. What a story it would have made! Alas. SA representatives currently in office actually okayed the card, minus the date of birth and signature. Whether they were not briefed well enough before the meeting or whether they were simply overwhelmed by the administrational scenario unfolding before them, they blew it. However, the issue is far from dead. Now that all officials in Capen and in Talbert have virtually agreed that a new ID card with date of birth and signature will be designed and issued, the question becomes when, or more pointedly, how soon? To hasten the procedure, knowing how slowly things move and knowing how some decisions are made behind very closed doors (although The Spectrum has been invited to the next meeting}, it is hereby recommended that “someone" sponsor a massive ID card burning in the fountain area in back of Squire Hall. The stench of 25.000 plastic coated ID cards burning in the wind would definitely reach Capen Hall on the Amherst Campus. The tactic is simply. If no one on this campus has an ID card, new ones would have to be issued immediately. Then there would be no more nonsense about sheriff's cards on campus and we would all live happily ever after.

Wednesday, 19 October 1977 to In response to Henry Senefelder III s letternot The Spectrum of Friday, October 14, 1977,1 do Mr. wish to debate the Bakke decision with Senefelder'IH, however, I would like to offer my opinion on#' few statements he made in his letter. 1 can understand why Mr. Senefelder III would “wholeheartedly support the decision to stop federally funded abortions... of society's most innocent human beings.” However, if we consider only tax dollars in this situation, it would cost the government a much greater sum to support all the children bom in the U.S. This is assuming a poor woman who would not have a federally funded abortion would bear the child, as opposed to attempting to induce an abortion. In any event, I do not support abortions, but at the same time I would not deny .any woman the right to have one. You might ask why. Birth control and/or sterilization is not free upon demand in this country. Although there arc many clinics which provide birth control, they are hot always administered under the best medical conditions. Furthermore, where in the book of life does it say that birth control is the sole responsibility of the woman? for every Mark this, Mr. Senefelder III Mj.'h pregnant woman there is not onjy a woman who has not utilized birth control, but also a mkn equally as careless. Your statement referring to theInability of women to “refrain from sexual pleasures when they know full well the consequences beforehand” is simply a sexist and derogatory statement about women in general How many times Senefelder III have you had sex in the past few< inonths and taken birth control measures to instore that the woman would not get pregnant?it takes two to make a baby and I’m tired of hearing that a woman is solely responsible for birth control lire methods which are available to women are not 100% safe. I’m also tired of legislatures even talking kbtmt cutting of abortion. back or manipulating funds on When birth control and/or sterilization become free upon request, and when men take a more active role in birth control, abortions might become unnecessary. At that time and only si that time should the federal government consider decreasing funds for abortions. Finally, Mr. Senefelder III you could not possibly understand a woman’s “mental health” in relation to being pregnant. Try carrying a child for nine months and see if it doesn’t affectyour mental k f health. matters Frances M.

To the Editor: Last-week along with a few hundred other UB students 1 had a job interview arranged through the Placement Office in Hayes B. Large companies from around the country send out recruiters to college campuses. Many of these recruiters are on the road months at a time. They visit a number of cities every week, living out of suitcases in motels. They fly to their home city on weekends to check in with their companies and wash their clothes only to take off to another city in a couple of days. The mood of the interviewer and interviewee are of prime importance. I was waiting for my interview in a large hallway in Hayes B. The interviewer called my name and led me through a door that led to what seemed like a 5 x 6 foot closet with a desk and two chairs. This is what UB makes these interviewers sit in hours a day for a few days. Imagine what it would be like to spend a few days in a closet talking to people. Anyone in his right mind would be adversely affected by this. I believe in the long run this is only hurting the chances of UB students in getting these Jobs. The recruiters might also be hesitant about . coming back to UB because of the conditions they are forced to work under. There must be some better system that could be set up to relieve this crowding problem. This should be looked into for the sake of our jobs and the sanity of company recruiters. Greg Braun Food? To the Editor: Go placidly amid the noise and the waste, and what peace there may be in the hamburger. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all poisons. Spoon your soup quietly and slowly; and try the knives, even the dull and intolerable; they, too, have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive portions; they are vexations to the stomach. If you compare your cooking with Food Service, you will become vain and annoying, for always they will be lesser chefs than yourself. Enjoy your Pepsi; skip the chow mein. Keep interested in your own pie, however humble; it causes indigestion in the changing fortunes of thyme. Exercise caution in your choice of food, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideas; and everywhere the veal is full of heroin. Save yourself. Especially do not feign infection. Neither remember be cynical about the meatloaf; for in the face of all acidity and disgust it is as fertilized as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the survivors, gracefully leaving while you still can. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress your stomach with imaginings. Many fears are born out of fact and experience. Beyond an unwholesome breakfast, be gentle with yourself. You are a consumer of the University, eating the trees and the stars; you have a gripe if you’re here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the University is unfolding in your food. Therefore, be at peace with the scrod, whatever you conceive it to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life, keep away from the sole. With all its spam, pottery and broken glass, it is still the cheapest place on campus. Be careful Be very careful. Lewis dayman Not liking it To the Editor.

Though because of my heavy personal and emotional involvement in the situation, I may tend to exaggerate the immediate effects of his return, it is probably not possible to over-estimate its historical significance. It is of extreme importance that all his friends and supporters gather to welcome him back at the Buffalo side of the Peace Bridge on Thursday, October 20 at 12 noon. What Bruce is talking about is the battle for history the prevention of future Vietnam*. In the United States, the war on Vietnam has come generally to be regarded (if it is regarded at all) as a well-intentioned mistake. The reality of the war as a well-planned, cynical, and racist attempt at capitalist world domination has become shrouded in a mindless belief that it can’t happen again. Bruce is coming back to destroy this myth, tq. put the only history that we can now affect, the 4 help history that lives in peoples* perception of events, into a realistic perspective. He is coming back to vindicate a movement which saved hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese and. American lives and which still hag the possibilities of preventing future acts of American aggression. He will probably go to jail because of it, and he needs all the help he can get. Please come down to the Peace Bridge tomorrow to welcome him home. - Bill Berry Arab refugees To the Editor. Around the world we hear about Arab refugees. Who caused these problems'! would like to give you a short briefing in Israel history. On November 29, 1947, the General Assembly of the U.N. adopted a resolution declaring the partition of mandated Palestine into an Arab and a Jewish state. The following morning the Arab League announced its plan for “the occupation of Palestine by the armies of the League’s member states and the forcible prevention of \tat establishment of the Jewish state” (New York Times, November 30, 1947). On April 10, 1948, the U.N. Palestine commission reported to the Security Council; “Armed Arab bands from neighboring Arab states have infiltrated into the territory of Palestine and together with local Arab forces are defeating the purpose of the partition by acts of violence.” The responsibility for the launching of hostilities has never been denied by the Arab states. Mr. Jamal Husseini, in charge of the Palestine Arab Higher Committee, told the Security Council on April 23, “We have never concealed the fact that we began the fighting.” Local skirmishes were followed on May IS, 1948 by a full-scale invasion of Israel by the regular forces of Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq, with contingents from Saudi Arabia and Yemen. The same day the Egyptian foreign minister cabled the Security Council; ‘The Royal Egyptian government declared that the Egyptian armed forces have started to enter Palestine.” Thus was set in motion the events that subsequently created the Arab ... refugee problem. Finally, from the Jordan daily newspaper, Falastin February 19, 1949: “The Arab states which had encouraged the Palestine Arabs to leave their homes temporarily in order to be out of the way of the Arab invasion armies, have failed to keep their promise to help these refugees. I hope we all can help them soon.” , Moshe Shaba t, Israel Illegible fifth To the Editor. Does anymore proofread Letters to the Editor?

You or I may not agree with the concept of a Welfare program or any other subsidized programs, but they re here to stay for a while and we’re paying whether we like it or not. So, don’t squawk about your tax dollars until you get the facts straight and think the issue through logically. I don’t want to support someone else’s child when I can barely afford to attend this University, but with ignorant chumps like you around I could end up bankrupt by thetime I’m 25 years old!! TerriS. Cohen Peace and land To the Editor: Mr. Schiller’s Oct. 7 letter to The Spectrum “Arab Peace Initiatives” and Mr. Prince’s Oct. 14 “The Modern State” letter to The Spectrum follow the Zionist media’s usual approach in distorting historical facts, and evading the real issue namely, Israel’s premeditated aggression and Nazi-like crimes. Hence, it becomes necessary to provide the readers with the following facts: 1. Israel was, in fact, the first to reject the United Stations’ 1947 Partition Resolution. As proof. The New York Time* reported the story of Arab villages and towns which were savagely ravaged and occupied by the Zionists loi« before the 1948 war broke out Gazaza on Dec. 21, 1947; Haifa on Feb. 21. 1948; Deir Yassin on April 10, 1948; Jaffa on April 26, 1948; Acre on April 27, 1948; and Safad on May 7, 1948. Not even Mr. Begin, the Israeli Prime Minister Irgun could deny that his terrorist organization deliberately massacred thousands of Zvai Leumi unarmed Palestinian Arabs, butchered and mutilated old men, women and children, and raped and disembowfed young girls and pregnant women? It was in this Nazi-like manner that the Israeli succeeded in forcibly evicting more than a million of the actual owners of Palestine long before the 1948 war. 2. On the other hand, the Arabs objected to the 1948 Partition Resolution on sound legal grounds as any impartial observer would attest. They rightly stilted that: a. The U.N. had no jurisdiction according to its Charter to partition any land or country; b. The ovation of the Zionist State would lead to the displacement of the Arab Palestinians as was illustrated by the U.S. Special Committee on Palestine’s report which was published in September 1947; Although the Jewish community in c. Palestine constituted in 1948 only 33 percent of the population, the Partition Resolution accorded to the Zionist State 54 percent of Palestine, while the Arabs who constituted 67 percent of the population were only given 43 percent of the land of Palestine; and - - - - - : - - d. The land the Resolution according to the unlike that assigned to Arabs was mostly barren - the Jews. 3. Instead of adopting a policy of peaceful the so-called modern coexistence, Israel democratic state! baaed its existence on racism. terrorism, and expansionist aggression. Ben Gurion, the founder of Israel, said to the Israelis in 19S0: “This is not the real map of Israel You have to strive by conquest or by diplomacy to establish the Israeli empire which must cover the while territory from the Nile to Euphrates." Moshe Dayan, the present Israeli Foreign Minister, declared on Feb. 12, 1952: “It lies upon the Israeli Army to carry out the fight with the ultimate object of erecting the Israeli — - empire.” - Menaham Begin, Israel’s Prime Minister, stated on Oct. 12, 1955 that he deeply believed in launching preventive war against the Arab States to achieve two targets: the annihilation of the Arab power, and the expansion of the Israeli territory. More recently, the Israeli Government has authorized the establishment of new settlements in the occupied territories. This move has been widely condemned by the peace-loving people of the world as an act of overt expansionist aggression. President Carter has bravely denounced Israel’s illegal action describing it as an obstacle to peace. He has also called upon Israel to recognize the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people. The U.N. General Assembly and Security 4. - Council issued numerous resolutions condemning Israel for its violations of the U.N. Charter and the Geneva Convention on Human Rights. In a Feb., 1976 resolution, the U.N.’s Commission on Human Rights condemned Israel for having committed war crimes against the Arab civilians. In Sept., 1977, the U.N. denounced Israel for its torture of the Arabs in the occupied territories. Norman Dacey cites numerous examples of Israel’s violation of human rights: the destruction of property, the collective penalty, and the forcible transfer and deportation of the native Arab inhabitants. Furthermore, the Israeli League for Human and Civil Rights has accused Israel of ill-treating its own Arab citizens as well as the inhabitants of the occupied territories in flagrant violation of the Geneva Convention. Dr. Israel Shahak, Chairman of that League and Professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, declared in 1976: “The Israeli occupation regime in the conquered territories is one of the most cruel and repressive the Israeli Government regimes in modern times speaks of reunion of families when it comes to Russian Jews, but does not allow the reunion of families when it comes to Palestinians of Jerusalem People who were born and lives most of their lives in Jerusalem are not allowed to come back and settle in their own city if they are not Jews. But if a Dutchman converts to Judaism tomorrow, he will not only be allowed to do so at once, but will also I am not get an apartment in Ramat-Eshkol afraid of the comparison with that which befell the German people between the two world wars and I am not afraid to say publicly that Israeli Jews are undergoing a process of Nazification.” Dr. Shahak has also condemned the silence of the Nazi-like crimes many Israelis concerning perpetrated against the Arabs. As he put it: indudes exactly as it did in “This silence not only those among us who are in my Germany opinion real Nazis but also those who do not protest against Israeli Nazism so long as they think in serves The Israeli Government and its (Israeli) interest agents torture systematically thousands of people.” 5. In 1967, Israel occupied Egyptian, Syrian, and Palestinian land by force of aggression. Despite six years of continuous U.S. mediation and U.N. initiatives, the Israelis refused to rclingquiah the land they usurped. Hence, the Arabs having exhausted all peaceful means of regaining their legitimate rights had no alternative but to wage war for the sake of realizing a just peace. Today, Israel’s accelerated coloniaUzation of the Golan Heights, Sinai, and the West Bank (six settlements last week!) poses a definite threat to world peace. Israel will have to choose between peace and Arab land. She could have one or the other, but not both. Land no longer provedes security. The 1973 War proved that. The Arabs are striving for a just peace. They have repeatedly stated, in their peace initiatives, that they are willing to sign a peace treaty with Israel if it would relinquish the occupied Arab territories and restore the legitimate rights of the Palestinian ... ... ... ..; ... - — people. Finally, it is quite inbelievable that anyone should be proud of being a fascist Zionist. We need only quote Mr. Nathan Chofshi, an early Jewish settler of Palestine, who had the courage to admit openly: “We came and turned the native Arabs into tragic refugees.

Suprisfagly, in your editorial “Support WBFO” I wasn’t offended, at first. I agree very much with your position that weneed WBFO and our support is necessary I also wouldurgs all students to give their support. For a minute I was thinking The Spectrum had potential, until I got to the part about WBAI. Why did you feel it necessary to ruin a perfectly good editorial by mentioning a subject you know nothing about WBAI. To begin with, WBFO as you mentioned is part of National Public Radio. WBAI is part of PACIFICA. There’s a big difference. Second, WDYC, WFUV and WNCN are New York City radio stations that are not commercial and would serve as a better comparison with WBFO because they are more similar. Third, to reduce the unfortunate situation of WBAI to a support too diverse is like saying “New York City almost went bankrupt because sanitation worken are overpaid.” The many problems at WBAI are complex and have a long history behind them. Sir, I recommend that in the future you limit your writing to subjects you know something about. Don’t live up to my expectations. . - William Henry Janet II Trivial UGL talk To the Editor. I submit this letter in response to the letter “Too much talk” of Friday, October 7, 1977, by William Henry Jones and Daniel F. Maker regarding the noisiness in UGL. I would like for this letter to be more or less addressed to these gentlemen. The UGL as any library is primarily a place for study, and not for socializing, as I have seen it being used on several occasions. Of course, the conversation that went on, if loud, would be annoying and distracting to me in my efforts to accomplish work. By principle and theory you Jones A Maker) are (addressing Messers. unquestionably in the right, but let us look at a little common sense. First of all, everyone knows that UGL by nature is not the quietest library on campus. If you prefer much quiet, I guarantee that you will find Lockwood (now Abbott) a place of strict quiet while UGL is a place where studying is done in a less rigid manner. to the particular library Everyone goes depending upon the mood they are in so that they may study most effectively. If UGL is too noisy, there is Lockwood, Health Sciences, SEL, and several other places, or just some empty classroom somewhere. Everyone experiences this same problem but for a person who really wants to study there is always a place to be found. You just seek it out. I have been studying in UGL since it first opened in January 1974. If one spot was too moisy for me, there was always another quieter area to be found, especially now since the extra rooms of Diefendorf Annex have been added to the library. It’s so terrible? Secondly, and every importantly, your other fellow students are not “selfish inconsiderate bastards” but they are human beings with human frailties such as talking when they should not. Where there are people there will be some degree of noise or conversation. That is human nature, but human nature also provides for people to adapt to their environment and act accordingly. In Lockwood Library the rule of nature is quiet and I And that this rule has always been respected even by our fellow students who are talkative in UGL. Thirdly, and most importantly, I agree that talking in UGL becomes a problem at times but is it such a serious one that we would have “police patrols” to enforce quiet? I would rather have the UGL be a noisy discoteque packed with people dancing on the tables than see “fascism!” As it stands UGL is still far from, being such a roudy place as that. For the most part, with the little noise that does occur there you should really And little trouble in phasing out that distraction and accomplishing your work properly, provided you really are concentrating and into your work as “serious” minded students to begin with. I do feel that most students there arc serious in their own way, othewisc they wouldn’t be there. Fourthly, I felt that some response was due because your letter happens every year, but with all the other important issues going on now, t never intended to write so lengthy on such trivial bullshit as talking in UGL. David Lubiner �Help To the Editor: '' . ' S 'fc i v '■* \ jf *'»• ,r yfc . J-, * *- In reply to these suggestions I would first like to As I write this now I hope more than anything else that the editors erf this paper are kind enough to print my letter as a caution to all SUNY students against taking jobs with the Universities unless they lave i healthy cache of money to pad them for a I was hired by UB this past September 7th to as a lab assistant here in n<« i»ngn«g» laboratories on an hourly bash. The following day I signed all the papers necessary to finalize my employment (to which funds had previously been approved through the correct channels, etc.) and put me on the payroll. I had been told by my supervisor when I was hired that it could be from four to six weeks before my first paycheck was to arrive, and 1 agreed to these terms knowing that my financial situation would get “tight” for me but that it would suffice. As of this writing I am in my sixth week of work and in severe financial straights, but “something has happened;” people got misinformed, accounts got confused, papers got mislaid, and I got the brunt of H. In any event, my paycheck has not arrived. Fortunately, I had heard of an organization of the University through which I could borrow up to seventy-five percent of the amount due interest-free. I investigated (with a great deal of ehlp from Richard Loew, for which I am grateful), and found this to be true. However, because of SUNY’s payroll system, I was only permitted to borrow seventy-five percent of whatever amount that first check would have been. Therefore, tough as of this moment that I write these words Oust completing my third bi-monthly pay period) 1 have EARNED over $200 working for this University, I have to show for it a check in the amount of $40 which is in fact NOT my pay check but payment for a loan AGAINST it. Furthermore, I have been informed by the payroll department that my first check will not arrive until some time in the second week in November. This means that in two weeks I will again be forced to borrow money against my paycheck in order to function somewhat normally. This also means that, because I am an independent student responsible for my own education and maintenance, and because I will not receive my total earings foj this semester until late next January due to the payroll backlog, I will be unable to register for my spring semester courses until after I have actually begun to ATTEND them because I will, until that time, NOT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY THIS SEMESTER’S BILL! Among the suggestions for a solution made to me by some friends and employees of the University work were: 1) That I take out a loan from a bank to meet expenses until such time as I may be able to repay it; 2) That I ask my parents to forward temporary financial assistance; and 3) That I ask the University to extend my (Fall ’77) tuition payment date to February of next year (1978). thank those who offend their ideas and ay: 1) Why should I have to pay interest on money that, but to an error of file University, I would have otherwise collected interest-free? (And I mean ALL OF IT!); 2) Why should my PARENTS, who are still supporting several siblings, be asked to compensate for that error? Also, since an “independent” status is damned close to impossible to gain and keep in the eyes of this institution, I HAVE not, DO not. and WILL not accept any monetary assistance in any tom under any conditions from any private outside source to avoid jeopardizing that status; and 3) God couldn’t bend the rules of this place. So here 1 am, with my blessed precious forty dollars of BORROWED money, anxiously awaiting that November day when, after I have worked well over six hundred dollars’ worth of time to this school, I win receive my first paycheck (minus the money I will have borrowed against it and minus taxes), in the amount of maybe eight dollars. Meanwhile, I now have a telephone bill for $41.56, a pharmacist’s biU for $12.00, a doctor’s bill for $32.00, my tuition and room bill in the horizon, no food in my refrigerator, piles upon piles of laundry to do and no soap with which to do it, not to mention LITTLE things like no occasional drinks with friends, no weekend excursions home or elsewhere, nothing like a pizza with my roommate just because I feel like it, NOTHING PERIOD. Finally I would like to do a little wrist-slapping. If I had the money, time, energy, desire, or sense of humor to do it, I would bring suit against this system for whatever credit damages this mess will incur to me. But I haven’t any of these things. I only have the material. According to the New York State Labor Laws, I, being of the labor division “Clerical A other,” and other University employees like me, have been SHAT upon. I realize that delays in payroll processing are caused by administrative technicalities, but in an institution of this magnitude cases like mine are disgraceful and inexcusable. Upon inquiring of the Buffalo branch of the United States Department of Labor’s legal information center how illegal it is to withhold a person’s (of my tabor class) . paycheck for eight weeks, I was told VERY .” Thank you, SUNY illegal Since when are you exempt from the law? I would at last like to say thank you to Richard Loew, my supervisor and to HIS supervisor for my job. In spite of this, 1 enjoy it immensely. Also, I’d like to make sure that the aforementioned, Donna, Sharon, Mrs. Reed, and Paulette in Payroll and Mrs. Lewis in Accounting know that 1 have no hard feelings for or complaints about them, because I know better than to think they created or can change for the better the systems they support. ... “ . . .... ..

Grisanti was suspended shortly after the arraignment. Richard Turchiarelli is the brother of liberal mayoral cnadidate Conald Turchiarelli. The grand jury’s report implies a specific sequence of events. All of the suspects were together because they had been attending a stag party for Richard Atti. Shortly after 2 ajn., Long and the suspects were apparently involved hi a traffic incident at the comer of Kenmore and Starin. At 2:20 a.m. Long was dragged from his Porsche just outside his North Drive apartment and severely beaten. About 10 minutes later, the seven manslaughter suspects allegedly discussed the beating with Grisanti at Mulligan’s Night dub on Bertel Ave. and later at the Three Coins Restaurant in Tonawanda.

Thereafter, he briefly taught at the University of Delaware, but within a year moved West to San Jose State College where he taught basic biology for 13 years. No federal aid In 1967, Smith left the confines of Northern California for the bright sunshine of Buffalo. He accepted a position teaching introductory freshman biology courses; a move he has spent the past ten years regretting. His reasons are clear and distinct. He had originally hoped to get federal dollars to finance a research project, knowing full well that the University could not guarantee him anything. In his first two years at Buffalo, Smith clung to the belief that it was still possible for him to receive the grant he dreamed of. But in 1969, his dreams were shattered when the Washington dollars ran out, due to the collapse of federal grants in biology. The net result was that Smith became stuck in a job he shouldn’t have taken. “I came here to combine teaching and research. 1 guess my plans haven’t worked exactly out,” he conveyed. Because of the University’s middle whom Smith hafcwea he has helped moat. effectively, Smith began In held his office boon in the Sqwc (Norton) Hal “Freshmen weren't indaodated by my being hne, and I mm invading their territory.* he said.

Smith policy of maximizing graduate education, Smith feels that he and many other professors facing similar circumstances don’t belong at Buffalo. “I’m one of those useless people,” he said. Why, you might ask, hasn’t Smith tried to escape the rut he is in? The answer is honest and to the point. “It’s the only job I have,” he related. “The U.S. market is knee-deep in Biology PhD’s and I’m too old to compete with 25-year-olds who are willing to work for half my salary.” Because of the unfortunate situation Smith has put himself into, he believes that he has been treated as a “second class citizen by the University.” Nice guy Despite Smith’s displeasure, he maintains that his teaching performance has been unaffected and that he has made the best of the situation. From former students, Smith has learned about and corrected the mistakes in his curriculum. He has tailored his course of study to parallel the major medical exams which many of his students plan to take. “Former students of mine in Medical Technology, Veterinary Medicine and Pharmacy have come back and told me I’ve done them some good, unless they are just being nice,” he stated.

In addition, it was necessary to obtain the services of Maintenance to facilitate the actual moving process. Having overcome these hurdles, however, OCH is presently awaiting the installation of phone service requested a month ago. According to Hack this should take at least a week to ten days to be accomplished, placing the official opening date still further into the future.

Low versus high Seldman said that many oiganizations have recently been grants to establish awarded recycling centers. The National Black Veterans Association, for instance, received $300,000 from the Department ofCommerce. Cities, states and towns throughout the nation are also participating in the recycling effort on a growing scale, according to Seldman. He enumerated an impressive list of cities which have home pick-up on a regular city-wide basis. This method, termed “separation recycling” has been gaining popularity. Portland, Oregon; Tallahassee, Florida; New Massachusetts; and Oxford, Newark, New Jersey are just four examples from the ever-growing list. (Colorado, Five states Massachusetts, California, Oregon and Washington) have state-wide recycling centers. These centers, along with many others, are taking sides in the controversies currently flaring in the recycling camps. Not many people are opposed to recycling: as someone said, ‘That’s a little like being against motherhood.” However, there are disagreements as to how it should be done .Many centers are in favor of source separation or low technology recycling. The principle behind low technology recycling is individual awareness and responsibility. If consumers take responsibility for separating their own garbage, they will necessarily become more conscious of its contents, and a. —continued from Mg« 2— expensive and kinks in the systems have yet to be ironed out. “Most of the high technology recycling places are failing. The technology is not really developed yet,” said Stumm. “The problem with garbage is that it varies. Lots of unexpected things can happen.” High technology systems do not underscore the need for individual responsibility and conservation. In fact they eliminate it.This is one of the major reasons the systems have drawn such opposition. Though many corporate giants and the federal government support high technology, the systems are seen as encouraging the continuation of a wasteful and irresponsible mode of consumerism which will,, in the end, again place environmental consciousness in the backs of American ilninds. Responsibility fo; recycling and conservation cannot be placed solely on the shoulders of technology and industry; People can participate in the recycling process in many ways.

There was a slowdown of public interest,” explained George Caros from the Streets Division of the of Department Street Sanitation. “In the beginning they did very well, but in the end it was costing the city money,” The problems that recycling projects encountered were real enough, but perhaps avoidable, according to a booklet published, by Advisory the Citizen’s Committee on Environmental Quality. Too often, it says, citizen groups rush into setting up local recycling centers only to find that poor planning, lack of existing markets, snd tapering-off of volunteer participation forces them to close down. Having begun with high expectations, many people thus became discouraged about the potential ofrecycling.

The denial of access to space heat and hot water is the denial of the right to Ufa liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The denial of this basic right, which is assumed by all Americans, is a step which can be taken after only the most serious consideration and the most rigorous due process. In Western New York today, we have a situation where 81,491 people are faced with the denial of this right. These 81,000 people are more than 60 days in arrears on their National Fuel Gas bills, and are threatened with a shut-off of their gas service. This is what we mean when we refer to the shut-off crisis. Because no amount of hearings will guarantee due process to these people before the freezing weather sets in, the Peoples Power Coalition is calling for an immediate moratorium on gas shut-offs, followed by an extensive, independent investigation of the shut-off crisis. Why we need an immediate cessation of gas shut-offs, followed by a complete, thorough investigation of the utility shut-off crisis, and why the investigation should be carried out by an independent team made up of federal, state and local officials, as well as PSC consumer group representatives: , 1. The Problem is Unique The crisis is directly related to National Fuel’s protracted work stoppage during the first half of 1977. An immediate ban on shut-offs would help and could be lifted after the investigation is completed and the problem is somewhat cleared up. We project April 15th as the date to lift the ban. However, as a matter of policy, no shut offs between October and April should be allowed, and we will continue to push for concrete laws which will enact such a policy. A) What problems were caused by the strike? The billing process hgs been in a shambles, and the consumer has not been receiving a semblance of due process. The consumer’s right to a regular meter reading has been negated! 1) At the September 20th PSC hearings it was alleged that even when consumers read their own meters, NFG dumped the cards in the trash and sent out estimated readings, since then were too few employees to process them. 2) Many people, faced with hopelessly high gas bills following the blizzard, and a company which provided no service during the strike, decided to apply their meager fundp . to other bills. A person getting a $13 welfare allotment for fuel can’t get any satisfaction from applying that $13 to an average winter’s fuel bill. NPG’s hard line, all or nothing payment policy is a crucial element in the hopelessness which causes many arrears. abuses. Officials from the company is recent weeks told Social Service workers that NFC would no longer accept partial payments made in compliance with section 12 of the New York State Transportation Law. As a result, Social Services stopped using this option, and consumers were left with no recourse. Attorneys from the Neighborhood Legal Services stepped in and hopefully the situation will be rectified. However, these procedural abuRi are common and 2. We need a high-level, coo-ordinated investigation A) Tbe Public Service Commission can and should many people are being badly abused before they are order an immediate end to shut-offs by NFG. The PSC discovered and corrected. Attorneys for Neighborhood should also take part in hearings on this matter. But the Legal Services and other agencies are frustrated at having PSC cannot be relied upon to solve the problem. The PSC to go to court in a piece meal, hit or miss, fashion to has been aware of some of the dimensions of the shut-off respond to abuses that are already under way. Only a thorough investigation can uncover all the abuses and set crisis for a while now, but has taken a “So what? We’D up clear, fair procedures. Only a high powered body can wait for individual complaints to come in.” attitude. Their refusal to meet with consumers on October 13th turn around NFG’s haughty refusal to negotiate partial and as ordered by Albany Public Relations Chief Doc Rivett is installment payments. And only an immediate moratorium one example of this attitude. But perhaps the PSC’s on shut-offs mil protect the consumer until these greatest mistake in handling this case is their negligence in problems are solved. advertising the consumer’s right to a hearing if he or she The Peoples Power Coalition feels that a team picked disputes the bill. This hearing process is a way of averting for the federal, state and local governments, bolstered by grief for many consumers. PSC participation and given the consumer point of view The PSC has also been sitting on a request to rule on through representatives of consumer organizations, is the the consumer’s due process right to a hearing before correct balance. This team would have the power, getting shut-off. The PSC alone will not be able to stop the contacts, and balanced objectivity necessary for such an crisis and the problems causing it. The PSC has undertaking. traditionally coddled the utilities and is not changing fast enough, if it is changing at all. 3.

Finally we realize that our energy problems will not C). The behavior of National Fuel Gas in allowing and be solved by any bandaid measures, no matter how sorely adding to this crisis can justly be characterized as needed the bandaid is. To this end we are pleased to note murderous. A recent example involves a man with nine that Mayoral candidates Eve and Phelan have come out in children who had just gotten a job, and had come off favor of a feasibility study on a public takeover of the welfare. The man offered NFG $250 down (which he had local gas and electric facilities. We invite candidates Griffin gotten from the Special Crisis Intervention Program) and and Turchiarelli to join them. The Peoples Power Coalition offered to repay the rest of this $600 bill in installments. is convinced that the cheapest, most cost effective way to NFG’s response was, “Give us all $600 or we’ll shut you run a monopoly is on a non-profit, community controlled off.

Paying quarterly dividends to those who can afford water, that’s tough, but it’s not our problem.” utility stock while 81,000 people face the prospect of The gas company is also guilty of many procedural freezing to death is a most cruel absurdity. 3) Those consumers who weren’t being overestimated during the strike often received bombshel, lump sum bills when their meters were finally read. One woman got a bill of $2400 and subsequently was shut-off. Only with help from organized consumers (the Peoples Power Coalition and the NAACP), was she able to get turned back on.

Playing before a crowd of hundreds, the young, inexperienced UB team went into Saturday’s match hoping for its first win of the season. The first half opened with the Barbarians in total control. Spurred by an excellent kicking game, the Barbarian backs advanced in the ball easily into Buffalo territory. The Barbarians scored a try for 4 points, missing the conversion. Binghamton then drove forward once more and scored a 3-point penalty kick to make the score 74) at the half. The second half began differently. Pue to the 1hard hitting of the scrum, led by Bemie “Mad Dog” Schneider, the Barbarian backs found it increasingly difficult to strike into UB turf. Then the UB backs came to life. Clean passes and strong running, led by strong side wing Sean Duffy enabled the Bulls to repeatedly advance the ball deep into Binghamton territory. On one occasion, the UB scrum carried Tom Saitta into the Binghamton goal area where he touched the ball down for an apparent score. However, the referee blew the whistle before the ball was touched down because he lost sight of the ball. Good half The Bulls nearly scored on two more occasions but the final whistle blew and the game ended with Binghamton winning 11-0. Buffalo coach Mike Regan commented; “It took the whole first half for us to get our act together, but after we did, it was our game.” The Bulls take to the road Saturday against a tough, experienced Syracuse team. They have four more matches this fall and an eight game schedule this spring. The team is always looking for new players and no experience is necessary.

Support your roots Come to the POLISH CULTURE CLUB meeting TODAY, at 5:00 pm in room 346 Squire Hall by MichaehRudny Spectrum Staff Writer The soccer Bulls give-game unbeaten streak has ended. Geneseo defeated Buffalo 2-0 in what Coach Sal Esposito described as “... one of the worst games I’ve seen my teams play.” The defeat ’dropped Buffalo’s record to 5-3-1 while Geneseo improved its mark to 6-1-2. Both teams had difficulty getting started on the wet, muddy Rotary practice field. First half play was marred by poor passing and the general inability of eithet team to set up a consistent offensive attack. The Bulls could muster only six shots on goal while the Knights sent five shots at Buffalo goalie Mark Celeste. Both goaltenders played well as they picked up, and held onto, any balls that were sent in the vicinity of their respective nets. As a result, the first half ended with neither dub on the scoreboard. “We should have had some goals,” said Buffalo fullback Mike Allan. “We had some good chances.” Stopped cold Hard pressing Genesco put the pressure on in the early moments of the second half. But the UB defense and Celeste stopped them cold. Celeste was particularly effective as he made a diving stop on a shot by Kevin Senft that was “labled” for the top right corner of the goal. The Bulls were unable to get past midfield in the early stages of the period as the Knights constantly broke up the Buffalo attack. “We were outhustled and weren’t helping each other out,” explained Bull winger Jim Rudolph. “We didn’t seem to be working together as a unit, they were beating us to the ball especially at midfield,” added Allan. Buffalo did put on a somewhat better offensive show as it started to work together during the middle part of period. The Bulls buzzed around the Geneseo goal but just couldn’t put the ball in their opponents’ net. Consecutive shots by Rudolph and Barry Kleeman were blocked by the Knights’ Mark McNiven, who played a strong game in goal for Geneseo.

After their initial five-point surge, the Lakers slowly chipped away at the Bulls’ defense, scoring a point here and two points there, pdiile effectively stymying Buffalo’s offense. Oswego won the game 15-10 to even the match score. In the third game, the Lakers didn’t score the first five points because Buffalo managed totally first. But they did the next best thing when they pulled off those five tallies after the Bulls had scored once. The Lakers, who were led by hard-spiking Debbie Adams, held the Bulls to just three points in that game. At this point, the Bulls developed another problem, according to Weinreich. “We were havmg the most trouble with the mental part of the game,” he said. ‘The confusion lead to a mental letdown and that brings on disorganization and poor play .” UB started out the last game much like the others confused and disorganized, and it didn’t take long for Oswego to build up a 13-5 leadT. But then server Scfalesinger found a .weak spot in the Lakers lineup and concentrated on it to give the Bulb six straight points. But when the Oswego coach substituted for the useless player, Schlestnger’s strategy was foiled and Buffalo soon lost the game and the match. Weinreich emphasized that the Bulk’ are headed for improvement. “The bask offense is alright; it’s the mental part of the game that we have to go after,” he said. FWd Hockey w. Oswego.

Oswego scored point after point by hitting the ball to a place where a Bull should have been. “The players weren’t sure of their positions,” explained Weinreich. “They tended to overplay their positions, which caused some confusion.” Buffalo picked up its only win of the day in the first game.

UB got off to a shaky start, dropping the first round to Buffalo State, a team they had beaten just two days earlier. Several players would have preferred not to play the Bengals in the first round before they were fully warmed up, but UB Coach Connie Camnitz thought it might help get the players on their toes right away.

With defeat insured, State lost the subsequent final match. Camnitz was proud of her squad. “Everybody played under pressure,” she said. “It was a good playing experience.” Camnitz likes the idea of the Big Four, with each player playing a eight game pro set against three different opponents with three different styles. According to Camnitz the strength of this year’s team lies in its overall depth. Few teams are as good at fourth and fifth singles and at second doubles as the Bulls are. Camnitz would like to play young Barb Zdybowicz more, but just can’t find the room. Zdybowicz and fellow freshman Sharon Walsky filled in splendidly at second doubles in the dinners to choose from.

Playing under enormous pressure with everything on the line, Ackerman crushed Marge Carlino 8-2. “You can’t worry about the team in that situation,” said Ackerman. “You’ve got to care about your score or it wrecks your concentration.” Ahead 16-14, the UB team turned their attention to the remaining two matches between Canisius and Buffalo State. If it came down to a tiebreaker, UB had 145 games won and State had 128 with two matches to play. It seemed as if UB had the win locked up since two wins for State would create a 16-16 tie and UB would win the tiebreaker 145-144. However, Canisius’ Jean Rogers and Sandy Richerson forced the State second doubles team into a tiebreaker, giving State an opportunity to win an extra game and tie UB at 145.

The EUicott Complex An administrator’s nightmare’ by Robert Herb in Spectrum Staff Writer Vice President for Facilities Planning, John Telfer, said at a symposium Wednesday that he does not think the EUicott Complex was desinged to control students. He claimed, however, that such a possibility does exist, although he sated he has “found no evidence to prove it Telfer, along with Assistant Dean of the School of Architecture and Design, A1 Price, Chairman of Design Studies Department, Reyner Banham, and Architecture Professor, Mike Brill, participated in a symposium entitled, Megastructure: The Design and Development of the EUicott Complex. The symposium, sponsored by the College of Urban Studies, well held in 167 Fillmore in the EUicott Complex. The symposium was held, according to Brill, to “help students understand how and why this place (EUicott) is.” Eight years elapsed from the time the building was planned and the time “the water was turned on and the first toilet was flushed,” Brill joked. This explains many of the problems associated with the Complex. The present functions of the Complex differ from the original plans BriU said. For example, 167 Fillmore was originally designed to be a library, but now houses the Division of Student Affairs. Price said EUicott is a megastructure which is a “building or complex that provides all of the services which people require organized in a frameworkd.” It is designed, according to Brill, to “bring a lot of people together.” The spread-out design of the complex defeats this function, he said. Price pointed out that one loses his orientation when in Hie EUicott nightmare Banham said,there is a conceptual mistake in the design of the complex. He explained its creation was based on the “idea of a self-contained, self-supporting community” but claimed the designers did not take into account that the complex is open to the outside community as well. He maintained, “The public and private parts of EUicott are totally distinguishable.” EUicott is “an administrator’s nightmare,” according to Telfer. He said the complex, funded by the State University Construction Fund and the State University Dormitory Fund, was built by two general contractors. The plan of the complex, he explained, was drastically changed from its original conception because of tremendous budget cuts before construction. One audience member complained that “everything is the same” in EUicott and that he has “no irritative to move around.” Some audience members grumbled that the tower buildings shake in the wind. Other grievances were aired concerning the number of four and six person rooms. The reason for this was “budgetary,” according to Telfer. The Spectrum Vol. 28, No. 21 Monday, 17 October 1977 State University of New York at Buffalo Sunday monopoly challenged Competition spurs changes at Buffalo dailies Editor's note: On November 13. the Buffalo Evening News will lay its first Sunday edition on the doorsteps of homes across Western New York That morning the head-to-head will begin with the smaller competition Courier-Express for the lucrative Sunday market. Here, in the articles second three of the rivalry The concerning Spectrum takes a detailed look at both papers. by Jay Rosen Managing Editor Underneath the visible restructuring of the Buffalo News and the Evening beats a Courier-Express quickening pulse of change in the hearts of both newsrooms as the November 13 christening of the News’ Sunday morning edition draws near. After sluggish years of the inactivity at News and financial trauma at the Courier, employees of both publications are suiting up for the head-to-head weekend competition with new leadership and clear objectives on one side, facing firm commitments and high morale on the other. When Warren millionaire Buffet purchased the News last April, he brought to Buffalo a fervent desire to transform the into a "national" paper publication. The decision to abandon Saturday evenings and contest the Courier on Saturday and Sunday mornings is only part of Buffet’s effort to pull the News out of its near dormancy as a newspaper. Although many changes at the Courier were initiated long before Buffet sounded his trumpets, the underdog paper responded to the News’ fanfare with aggressive policies on several fronts. Staff members picked up the pace set by the management’s determined desire to keep the Courier alive as a local, family-owned newspaper and, although competition was always keen, the! 1 direct challenge from the News seems to have heightened significantly newsroom morale. • » * Buffet’s arrival prompted the top editors who had been with the News for decades. The men were “eased” into retirement and replaced with younger people. One editor, described as a “real departure pf several roadblock to change” was reportedly into “coerced” retirement to make room for a 36-year old replacement. Others were urged to resign farly (before 65) at “youth healthy pensions. This movement,” along with the hiring of seven new reporters, and the influence of Buffet, will, in the hopes of some of the younger reporters, bring an end to the inveterate smugness that has led rivals to term the paper the Buffalo Evening Snooze. The News, considered a though always successful and professional paper, has never had a reputation of being a journalistic beehive of activity over the years “The News has always been the easiest place to work in town,” said one staff member, “In terms of workload, it’s just never been a demanding place.” “The number of bodies they have sitting around never ceases to amaze me,” related a Courier staff “We’ve constantly member. wondered what they could do if they put those people to work.” Buffet’s influence seems to have had some effect on the somnolent atmosphere. “In the early ’70’s we were overstaffed to observed a News the gills,” reporter, “Now, there seems to be a move afoot to put people to work.” Others at the News noticed the same trend. “People aren’t sitting around nearly as much as they used to,” said one writer. Although the new Sunday and Saturday morning editions will mean extra work for the staff, the increase will be partially offset by the hiring of the seven new reporters. Union consulted When the Sunday edition was first proposed, the management of approached the News the reporters’ union with a desire to bring off the new editions without an increase in staff. According to a staff reporter, union officials reportedly said something like, “show us. Draw up a feasible schedule.” The News was apparently unable to devise a workable schedule which, for the first time would have to include Friday and Saturday nights. The advertisement went out in trade for the journals seven new positions. Applications poured in. The new work schedule NOVEMBER SUNDAY NOVEMBER initially was met with some grumbling by employees who had been used to enjoying the newspaper “luxury” of having nights weekend off. The dissatisfaction at the News did not run as deeply as sources at the Courier had indicated. Reports of wholesale disenchantment at the dismissed by both management and staff “1 think there’s a feeling that we’ve been sort of privileged in the past,” ~ observed a News staff writer, “We’re coming down to reality now.” The Executive Editor of the Courier. Doug Turner, called . lo his employees “wishful thinkers” in believing the News staff was severely demoralized. Looking for signs Among other changes at the News is a feeling expressed by some staffers that communication lines between organizational levels have widened. “It used, to be a approach to managing editor with an idea,” a impossible News reporter commented. He since the arrival of Buffet, people at higher levels seem to be more willing to listen. added that —continued on page 14— NOVEM MON NOVEM �Relating to death: Big week to support WBFO a Life Workshop Some of the beet local WBFO productions of the last six months will join a schedule of live musical performance broadcasts on Buffalo by Craig Lyall public radio station WBFO (88.7 Spectrum Staff Writer FM) during the week of October 17-23.

Purchase of high quality portable « Emotional mom The focus of the seminar and a main concern of the film is the exploration of people’s various responses to death. The movie informed the audience that, intellectually, people retain ideas about death. These mental conceptions, however, create problems because they disgiisc genuine emotional responses. Death will always be an abstraction and people will never know how to relate to the dead. But we inevitably relate, in a variety of ways, to the dying and the dead. Usually our relationship with death takes on the form of denial, a shielding of aB that suggests death: the dying are removed to hospitals and rest homes out of sight of family, the dead are dressed and made up to look alive sleeping peacefully in eternal beds. The elaborate cosmetic ritual is the most conventional way Westerners handle their dead. Unfortunately, as the movie taught us, our rituals, loaded with pretentions, push the bereaved into prophylactic isolation: genuine grief is impeded, emotional catharsis recording equipment to augment live broadcasts is also on the agenda, as well as acquisition of a special collection of 78 rpm recordings: Benefits of membership range from one year of the WBFO monthly program guide and a copy of the 1978 Buffalo Calendar for basic memberships of $15 ($7 for students, retired people) to the basic benefits plus a complete energy alternative and conservation evaluation of the home of the high pledger for the week.

Students can acquire discounts on anything from small appliances to cars, with this plan. The average cost for an automobile bought on the Purchase Power plan is only $200 over the dealer’s cost,” according to SASU delegate Allen Clifford. Students considering buying merchandise worth more than $100 should call SASU, located in the Student Association (SA) office, who will then notify Purchase Power. In turn. Purchasing Power will send the addresses of dealers closest to the student’s home where the discount can be acquired along with the student card needed to advantage of the service. According to Clifford, “Purchase take Power eliminates the necessity to bicker and finagle with stern, unyielding salesmen.” Block booking sponsoring SASU is also another money-saving program for students designed to bring music groups, lectures and speakers to this University. The program, entitled is “Block-Booking," similar to a private tour. All members of the SASU organization, which include many state schools, can book cultural events at their school. “SASU and UUAB are now in negotiations to book a big name rock group,” says Clifford. One of SASU’s main priorities is to keep the tuition of the state system at an affordable price for all students. SASU is presently lobbying the state senate and assembly and the SUNY Board of Amherst Campus Childhood research underway at Baldy to make this possible. “At the rate it’s rising, tuition will become as expensive as that of a Trustees private school,” says Clifford. by Leah B. Levine Spectrum'Staff Writer If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands . . . The children at the Early Childhood Research Center (ECRC), located at 15 Baldy Hall, have plenty to clap about. Infants and toddlers there discover themselves and their environment and have a good time doing it. in existence for forty years, the center was originally patternedd after the Ruggles Street Nursery School in Boston. The faculty at that school hired extra teachers and assumed position as assistant professors. This core of people developed what is known today as a vital unit in education. Today, students in all areas, including teaching, physical education, and psychology, use the Ruggles model of observation. Ruth McGrath, Director of ECRC, says, ‘The program has changed to meet the changing needs of children. The thinking of the times has also changed,” she adds. “Parents today are more concerned with the emotional well being of the child.” She feels that “parents realize their child is more stimulated by being with other children as opposed to around the house.” The center enrolls seventy children, from infants to four-year-old toddlers. It is not a babysitting agency or a day care center facility. “We are not a service center,” McGrath says, “our objectives are research and study.” Mirror study Research is aimed at synthesizing theories about early childhood interaction and development, concentrating on personality growth and individual expression. The center’s own teaching methods emphasize language comprehension, learning to have a positive attitude toward kindness, sharing, and life. The facilities are desinged to accommodate the needs of children. In three rooms designated for different age groups, kid-sized tables and chairs enhance an atmosphere of exploration and learning. Behind a one-way mirror, college students study the children’s psychological and sociological behavior without interacting with them. Most graduate students earn their credit through independent study programs. Volunteers and students in other areas such as nursing and sociology assist in supervision and research.

According to Clifford, “The $25 health fee is erroneous. There was close to a million dollar deficit before the began, so the a $25 proclaimed health fee to compensate for the shortage. It has nothing to do ,,fall semester University whatsoever with health.” SASU lobbying has been going on for the last three years concerning the needed speedup in completing construction on the campus.

The work freeze is slowing but is gradually construction desisting, Clifford maintained. “Unionization,” a program allows union, interested students to peacefully their about express feelings issues. Telephone specific campaigns, letter writing, group discussions, and if necessary, peaceful rallies, will be instituted to results get for student problems. “Presently being enacted at SUNY at Albany, unionization was very successful similar at to a stipend, but we are in the process of getting student’s credit for involvement in unionization,” Clifford remarked. “Unionization will not be an alternative to SA. It will not govern dubs, but will coagulate students for a certain cause.” the function was libraries, for example, Albany might demand cutbacks in three categories; e.g. books, supplies, and staff, with a certain amount of capital cutbacks slated for each category.

Tutoring available freefrom CMS The College of Mathematical Science (CMS) offers free tutoring in Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Math Statistics, Computer Science, Physics, Engineering and Chemistry to University students. Under the supervision of CMS faculty advisor Richard Orr, eleven undergraduate and graduate students tutor individuals and groups of students. “We can handle problems on any 300 or lower level course,” Orr said. “There’s always someone here who can explain a problem a student doesn’t understand.” One student explained, “Because you’re working with someone on a one-to-one basis, you can ask more questions and receive more attention than you ever could in a class of 400. It’s a big help.” The students who tutor for CMS are volunteers. Orr said that some tutor because they receive college credits and others because they receive CMS housing points which affect room priority rankings. But most of the students genuinely enjoy tutoring and find it a rewarding experience, Orr commented. “We didn’t have trouble getting students to be tutors, but we can always use more volunteers.” One math tutor said, “It’s fun, and you meet a lot of different people. Besides, I like helping kids understand what they’re doing.” Richard Marshall, one of the math, physics and engineering tutors, stated. “It’s a good experience. The constant review keeps you sharp.” Tutoring services are offered Monday-Thursday, 3-10 p.m. and on Friday from 3-8 p.m. in Rooms 108 and 109 Wilkenson in the Ellicott Complex. According to Orr, the best time to go for tutoring and avoid crowds is during the dinner hour from 4:30-6:30 p.m. The busiest times are weekday evenings and prior to exams. Students interested in tutoring can contact Orr at the CMS office (636-2235) for more information. Carol DiBart - Geneseo,” said Clifford.

When we finally did, we headed in the wrong direction and had to turn around somewhere in Niagara Falls.” They drove all night “on an old New York State highway,” past Albany, up to Watertown and Plattsburg. Fifteen miles outside Messina, New York, near the Canadian border, Bruce and his five companions were stopped by the ,Ncw York State Police for a routine check.” It was 5:30 in the morning, March 16, 1970. “Everybody hunched oyer in the car, like this,” Beyer said, as he made a crouching gesture. “We had just gotten our hair cut, as a precaution, and so we managed to convince the police we were college students from NYU on our wayVjta Montreal to have a good time (Here Bruce mimicked the appropriate leers.)

If stored in a well-insulated storage tank, “the water will stay warm from twenty to forty eight hours,” said Bain. This type of solar energy system works on the same principle as when you leave your car out in the sun and it gets very hot inside.

WBFO, at 88.7 FM, should not be taken for granted. As an important medium forthe dissemination of culture in this city, it needs the support of its listeners more than any other radio Stations here because it is public radio. Public radio nauseating time-consuming, no irritating, means financial does support that what commercials. It also means service grants not come from SUNY or from community must’come from listeners. r Listeners' sponsored radio in New York City, WBAI, is slowly dying because its base of support has become too diverse to remain solid. Buffalo is a small enough city to readily identify students as a collective base of support for culture in general. This University is one of the area's major employers; students as a whole are one of its major • ■jn-' consumers. When a rock concert if held in the Century Theater, for example, no doubt much of the audience {depending on foe act, of course) is students. When an internationally known jazz master appears at the Tralfamadore Cafe, much of the audience there, too, is students, mostly from this University. An increasing number of such acclaimed jazz acts is number of making maiuiig the scene in Buffalo and an increasing it occurs. each as performance students is checking out "all promoting WBFO is directly or indirectly responsible for that jazz from swing and bop to the avant-garde.

Many students feel that WBFO does not involve itself enough In campus affairs. This could be so, ableit the fact that many of foe programmers, disc jockeys and engineers at the station were or are students here. Yet some correlation between students' input on the station and the extent of the station's involvement in students’ lives on campus must be established. Without rationalizing that correlation (Or its non-existence), the best way at this moment to begin to understand the function of the station is to become a member. Support WBFO, Call at 831-5393.

How many others are feeling this way this very minute and how do we them? Can we ourselves deal with these problems? Perhaps now is the time for all students and faculty to take a moment to examine themselves. No matter how briefly, touch someone today. In memory reach Susan M. Cataffo exile-ai by Jay Rosen and Foster than I will near Goodyear or Baird or Clement Friday evening, three of us who put out this paper viewed a spectacular sunset from our third floor offices in Squire Hall. It was more than your typical red rubber ball affair. This one was a veritable waterfall of color, with streams of blue and green running diagonally across the sky in between the crimson and gold, all framed by a misty violet haze. Basically, the kind of sunset you can’t describe in a column written on Saturday monring. Through it all, we kept looking up from our typewriters to go running toward the window for another look, as we continually stared out with our big mouths agape, as we took turns saying, “God, stood the tower of Hayes Hall, that’s gorgeous” And I’ll nearly freeze to death at Amherst Main Street was a campus, or at least close to being a campus. Amherst will never be. They can plant all the sickly trees in the world, and the place will just never qualify as a campus. So, as all the symbolism and charm is stripped from Main Street with its conversion to whatever they’re going to convert it to, none of it will be transferred to — silhouetted against this princess of a sunset, rising from the campus below as if to lay claim to the the dusk with its portrait above, piercing Philadelphian charm and Anglican manner. And though the tower certainly had no place in that sunset, no one seemed to mind. It was sort of a comfort tp see the four faced clock glowing in the & distance. There’s no need to symbolize Hayes Hall anymore, it’s gone. Yeah, the School of Architecture has taken it over, I know, but the only real contribution the century-old building will continue to make to this University will be in the history books. There’s gonna be a point in here somewhere, have no fear. You see, the entire Main Street campus is on its way to becoming meaningless. Various departments will move in, knock down a few walls, people will confuse the new names with the old, the buildings will cease to be identifiable with whatever they always have been identifiable with, but the actual stone and brick will remain standing The intangibles that made a collection of buildings a campus will be gone, vanished, thrown to the Buffalo winds. The classic college campuses are infinitely greater than the sum of their parts. Main Street used to be that way, if you were able to look past the washboard walled Annexes. In places on the old campus, you can hear faint whispers of Ivy League. You know what I mean, chestnut littered walkways and everything. And, when the December gales arrive, I’ll feel warmer walking near Hayes, Crosby •>, Amherst. What I’m talking about goes beyond the long walks to Ellicott, beyond the buses, beyond the windswept parking lots and frozen fields of Amherst. The fact that there is no center to the campus is a little closer to the point, but not quite there. beyond It what goes I’m capable of transforming into print. There’s something missing at Amherst that is, or was, present at Main Street and thus present in its students. And, whatever it is, it’s missing in you right now. People who work in Squire have observed a significant decrease in student traffic through the building. People who work in Talbert-Capen-Norton at Amherst have expressed surprise at how empty the place is. So where are the students? They’re everywhere, on three different campuses in 98 different buildings. And they’re nowhere, in dozens of buses and cars, and 198 different walkways and footpaths. But, as 1 say, this missing ingredient that will forever keep Amherst from becoming a campus, runs deeper than this, deeper than additional droning on about de-centralization, 1 guess. I am not usually this evasive in my writing, which can only mean that Whoever extracted this secret ingredient knew what the hell they were doing. They’ve got me spinning. So that sunset I was gloating about wasn’t seen at Amherst. They have the same sky and everything, 1 know. It’s the atmosphere that’s different. The strange magnetism that kept drawing us to the window that night is not out there in the wilderness. The sun sets differently when looking through the windows of the past. And as we stared out of the decaying symbol of the students toward the vacated symbol of the administration, the crimson and gold was almost all that was left to rejoice in. �Chips ahoy Guest Opinion 1 want to explain why 1 am supporting Arthur Eve for Mayor of Buffalo; why I believe the University will benefit from his election in November, and I also want to reply to a letter from the “Left” which argues: “Don’t vote — Organize.” I have lived in Buffalo for eight years during which time the city has been run by a consortium of Democratic Party politicians along with the banks, Joe Crangle being the mouthpiece. During this time, life in this city has gotten worse and worse. The leftist letter writers remind us that this is a “working class city” now facing massive because unemployment profit-hungry corporations, specifically Bethlehem Steel, find it easier to move their plant elsewhere than pay decent wages, stop pollution, and pay their fair share of the state taxes. I am not one to argue that Arthur' Eve will stem this tide any more than any other mayor could. There is only one way we can keep industry in this city, barring a working class revolution, and that is “kissing ass” paying the - corporations back their tax money, allowing them to continue polluting the air we breath, and accepting wage cuts none of which anyone wants to do. When I was in Portugal in the winter of 1975-76, the revolutionaries there faced the same situation: they could take over any plants they — to, but the gigantic international corporations would merely expand production elsewhere. Portugal is no island, no self-sufficient nor, indeed, is Buffalo. As industrial country Portugal, we sink or swim with the rest of the industrial world. I think most people know that wanted To the Editor: come inside and help them, Arthur Eve was asked and came, and was outspoken afterwards at the murders committed by then Gov. Rockefeller. (How many politicians spoke out against those killings? who today wishes all charges against the inmates dropped?) Again, when I saw that many poor blacks and whites were being admitted to this University in the early 1970’s, 1 found out it was Arthur Eve, as a state legislator, who fought for those EOF grants. This has changed the class composition of undergraduates here more than any other factor. Now, that the Left is fighting for people’s control over electricity and gas in the city, a long and hard fight against great odds, it is Eve who supports - 21, Spectrum), I find myself in complete agreement with what they desire: namely, that the working class unite and seize control of industry and run it for the benefit of all. This has been said for centuries. And, yet, it hasn’t happened in years America. Workers haven’t been able to unit for their own interests. What has happened in this country is that the ruling class, the owners of major corporations, has managed to play off each new immigrant population coming to the big cities seeking jobs against those who are already here and who have jobs. Divide and conquer, that has been their rule. As a result, the white working class on the whole sees its interests threatened by blacks, without jobs, who come to Buffalo. The powerful in Buffalo play on that threat for all it is worth. It is the job of leftists those who desire to see working class control over society to fight that division among working people, which merely serves to keep them out of power. This brings me to Arthur Eve. When 1 first came to Buffalo, 1 was told that the construction of this new Amherst campus was held up by a black people’s movement. Blacks were excluded from construction unions and were not going to be employed in the half-billion dollar construction project then planned. Eve was mentioned to me as the political leader of the blacks in Buffalo who was fighting that job discimination. He scared people; construction was held up for years; finally concessions were made; not great, but some jobs were provided. He is a practical fighter. Again, two years later, when the inmates in Attica revolted, justifiably, and sought out someone to - — I am dismayed that so few among the “left” in Buffalo are working for Arthur Eve’s election; and 1 include myself among the slack. When 1 examine my own conscience, I find it is far easier to ignore the if you are at UB as I am day-to-day realities of the City and to dwell on the past: the great heroic revolutionaries days in Russia, Spain or China, depending in the color of your politics. Echoing those glorious days, leftists in Buffalo produce massive quantities of leaflets, and hand them out on street corners all over Buffalo, advocating worker’s control, working class revolution, and slogans. They seem to pass among unnoticed the poor and working population who stand waiting for the late buses on rainy days, and who trudge off to another day’s work. - - 1 do not intend to back off from my own leftist dream, when the workers unite all over the world, and throw off the Capitalist exploiters, but if ever leftists are going to have anything to say at all, they are going to have to join with whatever plans or movements the workers have already set up, aid them, and also, criticize them when this is possible. Maybe I would feel differently if there were some great powerful workers’ movement, but there surely isn’t, not now, not in Buffalo. We leftists are marginal, now. But, as they say, history is on our side. As I see it, especially in Buffalo, what divides working class is racism and sexism, the deepseated, actively promoted by the media and the ruling class. This is where the fight is now, with echoes in America’s foreign policy in South Africa. It would be absurd for me to advocate Black Separatism, that is for black people to decide. What I can do is to aid those efforts of Blacks (and other exploited minorities, and women) when my support is called for. It appears to me, reading the election returns from the primary, that the city of Buffalo’s black population overwhelmingly backs Arthur Eve for mayor. He is a fighter for the blacks, he is open to some initiatives of the Left to take control out of the hands of Capitalists, he needs white support to be elected, he has aided this University immeasureably through the EOF grants to bring a new class, new energy into this place, and 1 believe it will be possible, in some areas, to raise anti-Capitalist programs under a “liberal'’ live administration Charles A Hay rue Teacher and Coordinator Tolstoy College (!■') Mao workshops To the Editor.

However, when they’ve ended their sighs and exclamations. I’ve often heard them mumbling on their way back to their rooms, “This sunset was brought to you by Beth Steel, “Beth Steel strikes again,” or some other equally intelligent remark. It isn’t enough for these nitpicking nerds to just sit back and relish the sunsets; no, they’ve got to slander and libel a fine company which has contributed taxes and jobs to Western New York for longer than anyone here can remember. Slander? Libel? Yes because those smokestacks you see outside your window do not belong to Bethlehem Steel or Republic Steel. If you had ever ventured out into the community in which you live, and become acquainted with its beauty, you’d realize that both those establishments are in South Buffalo (in Lackawanna and on South Park, respectively).

Page nine �TKE ‘Rose Garden to explore women’sfeelings by Gerard Stemesky Spectrum Arts Editor It is no secret that the lack of meaningful roles for women has been one of the most consistent causes for embarrassment among contemporary filmmakers. This drought became perhaps most obvious a few years ago when Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid achieved such great success, paving the way for films like The Sting, which starred Robert Redford and Paul Newman, and Scarecrow, with A1 Pacino and indeed, Gene Hackman. Hollywood seemed for a while to be operating under some kind of “buddy system,” with what few “bankable” (and, coincidentally, male) stars there were pairing off and showing us how a couple of Ture-Blue-Blooded American pals look after one another. This situation was without a doubt furthered by the scarcity of actresses who were guaranteed to be box-office drawing cards. Screenwriters simply would not, or could not, write scripts with roles of major importance for women, and while some of the “male companionship” movies were in fact fine films, one yearned for the day when, movies would begin to treat modern women honestly. / Never Promised You A Rose Carden is one of the first of a group of films to be released in the latter half of this year which attempt to explore what real women think and feel; their pleasures, their pains, their selves. Indeed, Rose Carden is an exploration into the self Garden is a letdown, for it does live up not to its own expectations. Instead of identifying with Deborah, one ends up rooting for her.

Niagara Falls where natural beauty combines with modem architecture to create a growing convention-resort complex. Niagara Falls a city Niagara — - — with momentum. The past decade has seen a dream come true for many of the city’s planners and businessmen: the construction and near completion of Rainbow Center, an 85 acre urban development project. Located downtown and close to the Falls, the complex Falls includes Niagara International Convention Center, E. Dent Lackey Plaza, Rainbow Mall, and the Winter Garden. The idea for the construction of a convention center in Niagara Falls was conceived in 1926 by the current city manager. Almost SO years later on January 12, 1974, the doors of the Niagara Falls International Convention Center opened to the public. The $35 million rainbow shaped building, six stories high at its center, was designed by architect Philip Johnson in the late 1960’s. Public reaction the to construction of the center has been mixed. Initially viewed as a “white elephant” and a severe financial disability, most city residents now feel that the center and its events bring increased economic as well as cultural revenue to the area. Handyman packed ’em in Events at the center are diverse, ranging from conventions, car and home shows, basketball games, to concerts and circuses. This summer the center has seen the O’Jays, James Taylor, Peter Frampton, and The World of Star Trek with Gene Roddenberry. The E. Dent Lackey Plaza, commemorating a late mayor of the city who set the construction wheels in motion, transforming his dream into reality, is located directly in front of the convention center. The plaza design was chosen from a Canadian-American Architectural Competition. The winner, Abraham W. Geller of New York City, conceived the plaza with a civic center in mind. The $8 million project was begun in Spring 1973, and completed in May of this year. The Lackey Plaza features an elaborate, modern system of fountains that must be seen to be appreciated. Water jets from sculpted metallic structures, the fountains, creating a fragile somewhat eerie effect. An outdoor amphitheater is included in the two level plaza. Located on the bottom floor, the theater played host to a number of cultural events this summer. A series of ten free weekend flowing down glass stairs, cut into concrete and over walls bordering walkways. Colored lights play on happenings, called the “Niagara Falls Experience,” began July 2.

As of November 1, free outdoor ice skating will be offered in the plaza's lower level, although skate rentals will not be available.

Page eleven �Graphic cooperative operates in Buffalo by Btenda Strayhail Spectrum Staff Writer When you pull yoij£ t-shirt on in the morning, do you ever stop to think that it is saying something about you and might be considered a unique work of art? If you have never thought of this, a group of five men and their colorful silk-screened shirts might change your mind. The Great Arrow Graphics Shop is run by Mike Morgulis, his brother lerry, cousin Ross Reback, and two friends, Willie Ecevarria and Michael Levinson. In addition to t-shirts, they screenprint signs and posters. Mike explained that the history of silk-screen dates back 2000 in China. Human hair was used as a screen, leaves and flowers for stencils. The designs were rather limited, he said. The silk-screen process was brought West after almost 2000 more years and used as an inexpensive form for printing posters. However, silk-screening on fabric was not yet tried until 30 or 40 years ago. Today, the process is used for sighs, posters, and shirts and is widely accepted as a fine art form. years, originating No illusions Margulis began Great Arrow Graphics one year ago. Originally from Buffalo, he had always been interested in drawing and graphic art work. While living in California, he learned more about silk-screen and after returning here, started the shop with another who soon left. To find out if the shirts would appeal to the public, Mike created a design and silk-screened it on the front of a t-shirt. The design had a picture of a buffalo against a colorful background with the caption: “Buffalo City of No Illusions.” The response to the shirt was very favorable and shortly thereafter Jerry joined the business. Eccvarria was working in the production department of a local television station when one day he came in the shop to visit Mike. He was interested in what was going on and ended up quitting his TV job so that he could work in graphics full time. The last two people to join the staff were Reback and Levinson, both of whom happened to get caught up in the creative atmosphere and decided they wanted to be a part of it. Great Arrow Graphics is located at 1685 Elmwood Avenue and occupied two rooms of the basement. The office is lined wall-to-wall with samples a colorful assortment of t-shirts and graphics. Chances are you have seen some of their posters or t-shirts since they have done a lot of work for area organizations, restaurants, and bars, T-shirts have become a very inexpensive and popular way for places to advertise. Using a system designed by Mike, the genius behind the designs, each shirt is silk-screened by hand, using a non-toxic, water based ink. The design will not fade after washing, he says, and is soft to the touch unbke some other methods where the ink hardens to a rough - — texture. This silk-screen process is preferred to press machines, which mass produce t-shirt printing allowing two colors at most. Shirts from Great Arrow are more colorful because a separate screen is built for each color in the design, Jerry says. After being screened, the shirts are hung to dry for about 45 minutes, then heat-set in dryers. The first Great Arrow shirts are still popular, including “Just Buffalo,” a sunset scene with a herd of buffalo running across the landscape. Another you may have seen is the “If you don’t like the weather in Buffalo wait a minutes” t-shirt. Shirts of all the Buffalo co-ops were on display for two months at the Greenfield Street restaurant and are available at Everyone’s Bookstore, 3102 Main Street. . .. Waiting for payment Since they ran a small personal business, the men often have to work six days a week, from early morning until late night. Occasionally, a problem arises, as happened this summer when they agreed to design and print 800 t-shirts for the mayor’s summer youth program. Since the shirts were needed immediately, a rush order was put on them. All five members worked through the night to finish the order. Due to problems with federal funding, they have not been paid. Great Arrow has to make an initial investment in buying the t-shirts When they are not paid, they are taking a great loss, they claim possibly crippling the business. Great Arrow thinks of itself as a cooperative. Though Mike started the business, he does not consider himself the boss. The partners decide on things collectively. They say they like to do work for a particular cause or group and will give them a discount. “We enjoy doing this type of work and getting involved in helping a cause because it keeps us in touch with things that are going on,” Mike says. “We want to maintain a social consciousness. We turn down anything this is sexist or prejudicial.” Jerry adds, “We don’t believe in gimmicks and aren’t in this for a fast buck.” The “Cool One” Is On Campus!

Two days later, November 8, one of the most important of the Center's efforts this semester opens with the play, “Are You Now Or Have You Ever Been,” directed by Eric Bentley, a reknowned playwright and one of the world's foremost authorities on Brecht. This piece promises to be quite an entertaining learning experience for audience and actors alike, and runs through November 20. December 6—18 marks the running of “Bingo” under the direction of Saul Elkin, chairman of the Theater Department, and James McQuire, a Master’s Candidate full of enthusiasm and workable ideas, “Bingo” deals with the final days of William Shakespeare’s life.

Theater. We’ve all heard it described as ongoing and dynamic, but most of us picture it as entertainment, an escape or just something to do on a Saturday night. Do we ever stop and consider the years of hard work and training behind that two-hour long gift presented us by the actors and technicians? Actors aren’t merely discovered on the street, to become instant successes. More often than not, raw talent is cultivated and stardom is laid in waiting. All of that training has to start somewhere and that ’’somewhere” is within each person, initiated by a decision to commit oneself to the art. After that commitment is made, guidance from an outside source comes into play. This guidance is offered to prospective “theater people” here at this University by the Center for Theater Research and the Theater Department located in Harriman Library. referred to exist for three reasons. First, Fellows are students, experiencing an ongoing educational process in an advanced sense. Second, they are teachers, lightening the load of the professors by taking on classes dealing with more general levels of the art. Lastly, they are the tangible links between the undergraduates and the professors. Consequently a type of functional, necessary hierarchy is formed,. Fellows have worked hard to get where they are and hence have established a tenure based on familiarity and “on stage” experience. two production bases in the theatrical Theater Department exists mainly for undergraduate education and its productions. The Center for Theater Research exists mainly for fellowship advanced There realm. are The training and its productions. Fellows are frequently invited to particpate in undergraduate productions and vice-versa. This is done in hope that undergraduates will “learn by watching” and the Fellows will expand their theatrical experience. Eight productions are expected this year four at Harriman Library studio and four at the Courtyard Theater, the Center’s home base, located at Lafayette and Hoyt Streets — downtown. No p-aduate program The program offered to Theater majors deviates slightly from other departments in that it lacks a graduate program. This, however, is compensated for with a fellowship program. “Fellows” as they are affectionately Womens’ collective Head of the Theater Department, Saul Elkin, called the mingling of the two divisions “quite productive and a great aid in drawing the thin line between Fellows and Hudson and Mohawk Study says toxic chemicals in two rivers are dangerous The Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) and the New York Public Interest Research Group, Inc. (NYP1RG) today released a massive study detailing the sources, types and hazardous health effects of toxic chemicals discharged into the Hudson and Rivers. The 210-page study, entitled Troubled Waters: Toxic Chemicals in the Hudson River, found that: Hazardous substances such as: benzene, tetrahydrofuran, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), cyclohexane, methylbenz(a)anthracene, toluene, dibutylphthalate, and xylene are present in industrial and municipal treatment plant wastewater effluents and the Hudson River itself. Discharge Elimination National Pollutant System (NYPDES) permits for 254 industrial and Mohawk municipal dischargers in the Hudson River Drainage Basin (HRDB) are totally inadequate to control the discharge of toxic substances. Consequently, major industries in the HRDB discharge a complex spectrum of toxic and carginogenic chemicals. Hundreds of industries currently avoid direct regulation under the NPDES permit program by discharging their contaminated wastewaters through municipal collection systems. Inappropriately designed to treat hazardous industrial wastes, these facilities allow pollutants to bypass treatment and flow into the river. The effluents from these sewage treatment plants are a serious source of toxic chemical pollution. Water from Hudson Past and present state federal toxic substances monitoring programs have failed to assess the full testing scope of pollution problems. Comprehensive towards substances, variety a of toxic for wide meeting the Federal Water Pollution Control Act’s 1983 goal of “fishable, swimmable” water quality or the 1985 goal of “zero discharge” of toxic substances. These findings are of critical importance because more than 1 50,000 New Yorkers currently rely on the Hudson River as their source of drinking water. Moreover, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has developed a plan to withdraw up to 950 million gallons per day of Hudson River water to supplement the present New York Metropolitan Area’s water supply. If this plan were implemented, more than 10 million New Yorkers living in New York City and Long Island would consume drinking water drawn from the Hudson River. Because currently practiced drinking water purification procedures in most cases do not adequately remove toxic contaminants, and because chlorination, once thought to insure water purity, has itself been shown to produce carcinogens through interaction with water-borne organic chemicals, the findings in this study raise very serious questions regarding the use of the Hudson River as a source of drinking water. PCB contamination The study’s findings were termed “alarming” by Dr. Joseph Highland, the Chairman of EDF’s Toxic Chemicals Program. Dr. Highland stated that earlier studies in New Orleans and epidemiological Cincinnati had “substantiated the association between the ingestion of carcinogens in drinking water and significantly higher cancer mortality rates among the affected populations. There is no reason to suspect a different result in New York.” In the —continued on page 17 undergraduates even finer. He added that the Fellows to partiepate in undergraduate productions merely to hom in on the latter’s territory or make things more difficult for the undergrads, but rather to influence their learning process. “It’s much like placing a virtuoso, violinist in the fourth chair of a string quartet, in the hope of influencing the other three aspiring musicians to be that much mote aren’t invited proficient,” he said. Looking at the world from a women's perspective and then translating it into theatrics is the objective behind the Women’s Collective, a branch of the department. Women's Collective meetings are open to the public and include both faculty and student members. There’s good news trickling through the theater’s grapevine. Elkin has gotten positive responses from University administrators concerning possible rental of the downtown Studio Arena Theater space. The Palace Theater is being renovated and Studio Arena is planning to take over that space, leaving its present location vacant. Downtown Buffalo would once again have the core of a first Street, The Shea's Buffalo at 646 Man Street, and a downtown University Street, The Shea's Buffalo at 646 Main Steet, and a downtown University Theater at 681 Main Street. Furthermore, such a move would serve the urban community in a time when the University is shifting to the suburbs. The Studio would be receiving regular rental income on its property, while this University would be utilizing one of the finest performing spaces in the area. A toy gun leads to criminal charges by Drew Reid Kerr Spectrum Staff Writer At this very moment, he may be sitting in your class, copying fellow to his left. Some consider him a criminal, others see him as a victim of the truth. His brush with the law prodded him to tell his story. Not wanting his real name used, he chose the alias of “Dirk.” Dirk was traveling this summer on Route 104 in Rochester with his friend, Steve, to a near-by pinball emporium. Steve was driving the car at a legal speed and Dirk was sitting in the passenger seat, holding in his hand a plastic Marx toy gun. in a fit of playfulness, Dirk put the gun out the car window, pointed it at various cars and pulled the trigger. A sound was emitted from the gun, which was described by Dirk as a “rat-tat-tat” noise. In the humorous melee on the Thruway, Dirk was given a cold stare by one lady traveling close by. He laughed and didn’t think much of it. Continuing their journey, “shooting" nonchalantly out the window, they didn’t realize that the hard-faced woman had copied down their license plate number and planned to file a complaint. notes from the Missing manhole? Two days after the “shooting” spree, Dirk was interrupted at home by a Rochester Police Department detective. Dirk thought the man was going to inquire about a missing manhole cover on the block. The detective asked him if he had been fooling around with a play gun recently. Dirk confessed that he had He was told that the woman had filed harassment charges against him and his friend. Dirk was told not to worry about the incident, for this visit would be as far as the complaint would gel The only thing presented to Dirk was a handshake. Dirk received a letter from the Rochester Criminal Court a week after the detective’s appearance. It ordered him to appear at their office within 10 days. —continued on page 17 — Monday, 17 October 1977 . The Spectrum .

Also, the younger members of the Courier's management staff succeeded in convincing the older administrators that the changes were merited. There had apparently been a top level tug-of-war running for several years and in this case “the young guys won.” Turner said. The Plans for the spruced-up Sunday edition “began to harden dramatically after February 17,” Turner observed, referring to the day the News announced that Buffet was going to purchase the paper.

The Spectrum . Monday, 17 October 1977 �‘KentuckyFried Movie: ninety minutes of laughter by Michael Silverman Spectrum Staff Writer Kentucky Fried Movie is a satirical swipe at two mediums which prove easy targets television and motion pictures. The film, which consists of some - twenty light-hearted spoofs and penetrating parodies, is in the tradition of Tunnel Vision and Groove Tube. It isn’t high art nor even high comedy, but it is generally amusing in its distortions of an already distorted “reality.” The creators of the film, Jerry Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and David Zucker, have leveled their blast of hard-hitting, non-stop, go for broke humor at a generation that was wet-nursed by television and commercial interruptions. Perhaps television’s wdrst insult upon its viewers’ intelligence are those thirty seconds where sponsors attempt to peddle their wares. Kentucky Fried Movie ridicules those endeavors with a fine sense of the absurd. Imagine a group of hard-chanting Hare Krishnas, tired from distributing leaflets and panhandling, taking a break for “Wilier Time.” After all, when you’re only reincarnated six or seven times you’ve got to grab for all the gusto. In another, a typical American homemaker is frying the cat in pure Nesson Oil. There is a thin line between parody and perversion and in the course of the film it is crossed frequently. One of the commercials I found distasteful featured Henry Gibson (one of the few “names” in a bit role) as a fund raiser for the “United Appeal for the Dead.” He assured that there was indeed hope for the dead and that absence of life doesn’t, necessarily mean absence from everyday life. A disfigured corpse is then dragged along on various family outings, even doing a dead man’s float in the backyard swimming pool: Obviously, when your comic efforts are cither hit or miss, there are bound to be some misfires. There is a segment concerning an “eyewitness” news telecast which lingers on past its amusing moments. However, the initial hilarity of the premise on which the segment is based compensates for this excess, as the anchorman, and eventually his crew, reach climax while watching the sexual activities of two home viewers. Otherwise, most of Kentucky Fried Movie sparkles with a and gleeming perceptive understanding of its sdbject. There is the ultimate sensation in movie viewing, “feel-a-round,” where each person is provided with an usher whose actions are synchronized to those on the screen. It js the epitomy of personal involvement in an art form, as one has a drink poured in their lap, a shoulder scorched by flames, some mild caressing, and eventually a knife to the throat as the screen heroine waivers between loving and offing you. films- ’and the "fames Bend thrillers.

Kentucky Fried Movie is for those who have been mesmerized by that white glow in the living room.

Page fifteai �Season opens tomorrow Previewing this year in NBA: will Trailblazers repeat? _ , ! # by Marshall Adler Spectrum Staff Writer “Can anyone stop the Portland Trail Blazers from repeating as N.B.A. champions?” That's what everyone is asking as the N.B.A. prepares for the opening of the 1977-78 season tomorrow. Many basketball experts feel that the Blazers, an extremely young team (Bill Walton, at 2S, is starter), could dominate the N.B.A. for years to come. Anyone who has followed pro basketball, however, has heard this before. Each time a team wins a championship, it is supposed to be the beginning of a new dynasty. These “dynasties” usually last for only one year, however. The Trail Blazers are destined to become another team in the long line of short-lived dynasties, since it is extremely unlikely they will be able to repeat. There are just too many other strung teams in the league that will challenge them. Let us ' now see if we can determine who this year’s “dynasty” team will be. Atlantic Division The 76ers possess the best Philadelphia 76m talent in the game. With three bonaflde superstars in Julius Ervirfg, George McGinnis, and Doug Collins, and a fine supporting cast of Steve Mix, Henry Bibby, and Darryl Dawkins, they definitely have the potential to win the N.B.A. championship but they won’t. C- ; ‘ Most of the 76er players are too immature and self-centered to realize that it takes discipline, self-sacrifice, and team work to succeed in the N.B.A. Unless the 76ers change their ways. Owner Fitz Dixon’s dream of an N.B.A. championship will stay a dream. New York Knicks The Knicks, like the 76ers, have a star-studded line-up. consisting of ex-Brave Bob McAddo, oft-injured Spencer Haywood, and magic man Earl Monroe. But, like the 76ers, the Knicks did not play up to thei; potential last year. Whereas the old Knick championship teams exemplified dedication, hard work, and defense last year’s Knick team exemplified none of these qualities. The Knicks, with the acquisition of No. 1 draft choice Ray Williams, and ex-Cavaher Jim Geamons, have perhaps solved their problem of lack of backcourt speed, but the loss of Coach Red Hoizman, forward Bill Bradley, and guard Walt Frazier will create different problems for them now. This trio had brains and experience two qualities the Knicks may lack this year. Boston Celtics The Celtics do not possess the talent of the Knicks and 76ers, but they more than make up for it with their hustle, dedication, and enthusiasm. The nucleus of social recluse, Dave Co wens, ageless wander, John Haviicek, and underrated superstar, Jo Jo White, will carry the Celtics further than their talent really should permit. — — - — — To illustrate how badly the Celtics need quality players, they are willing to take a chance on veteran guard, Dave Bing. They are also counting heavily on No. I draft choice, Cedric (Cornbread) Maxwell to help them in the front court. As you can see, these are not the same Celtics the rest of the N.B.A. has learned to fear and respect. Buffalo Braves Last year was a catastrophic year for the Braves. Former owner, Paul Snyder, threatened to move the team, the franchise’s greatest player, Bob McAdoo, was sold to the Knicks, and because of this, the majority of Brave fans were alienated against their own team. Against this background, it is amazing how quickly the Braves - ; climbing challenge to children. Open to handicapped The childrens’ senses are continually stimulated by colors, movements, and sounds. For infants, the primary objective is vocalization. “A great emphasis is placed on learning to say words,” says McGrath. Toddlers learn to express i,. -« jfTr. Central Division Washington Bullets Last year, the Bullets missed winning the Division title by one game. With this year’s addition of Toward bob Dandridge (from Milwaukee), they should make it Aging Wes Unseld, inconsistent Phil Chenier (who never became the next Walt Frazier), and moody Elvin Hayes, should finally be able to capture the N B A. championship that has seemed within their reach in previous years. Houston Rockets The most effective weapon the Rockets had last year was the element of surprise. No one expected them to win the Division title, much less take Philadelphia to six games, before bowing out of the playoffs. Although the Rockets will be as strong as they were last year, no one will take them lightly, and, hence, they will finish in second place. Budding superstar, Moses Malone, smooth shooting Rudy Tomjanovich, super quick Calvin Murphy, and tough guy, Mike Newlin, form one of the most cohesive starting units in the N.B.A. Cleveland Cavaliers The Cavs might have pulled off one of the best deals in the N B A. this year with the acquisition of ex-Knick superstar, Walt Frazier. They play the same type of good defense, slowdown game that the Knicks used when Frazier was the best to his previous prominence. If they do, the Cavs could be the surprise to his previsou prominence. If they do, the Cavs could be the surprise team in the N.B.A. San Antonio Spurs The Spurs personify the old A.B.A., as they are all hit and no field. ‘The Iceman,” George Gervin (probably the most underrated player in the league), ex-Net, forward Larry Kenon, and the “Whopper” Billy Paultz, can all “put the ball in the basket.” New Orleans Jazz Pete Maravich is the O.J. Simpson of the N B A. He is the best there is in the business, but he has no supporting cast. Last year, “The Pistol” had 13 games in which he scored 40 or more points (including 68 points against the Knicks). Atlanta Hawks The Hawks are the Southern version of the Nets. Since last year, they have managed t6 lose their best guard (Tom Henderson), their best forward (Len Robinson, whom they received for Henderson), and their best player in the history of the franchise (Lou Hudson). If they keep this up, Roy Boe, the Net owner, might get jealous. - — — - — - —continued from page sportspaige A — by Paige Miller Copy Editor The 1977 fall baseball season here has been (a) cancelled; (b) misplaced; (c) rained out; or (d) sold to the Russians. If you picked (a) or (c), you’re probably right. After struggling in with the rain and soggy fields and cancellations by Buffalo State and Canisius, Bulls coach Bill Monkarsh frustratedly cancelled the remainder of the Bulls' season. Buffalo finished with a respectable 5-2 season. In the final game against Canisius at Delaware Park, three UB pitchers combined for a one-hit win. Greg Fischer started for the Bulls, and his final fall stats show that he did not give up a hit in the more than ten innings he pitched this fall. The second game of that scheduled doubleheader was cancelled because someone else had reserved the field in Delaware Park. It’s unfortunate that a baseball team of UB’s caliber has to put up with bullshit like this. Another time, Buffalo State agreed to play at Peelle Field, and then cancelled on the day of the game for no apparent reason. None of the local schools (Canisius, Buffalo State or Niagara) are of UB’s caliber, and the nearest Division I school to Buffalo with a baseball team other than Canisius or Niagara is Cornell. Considering that the Bulls have no scholarships and have to travel so far for decent competition, Monkarsh’s record over the past few years is truly amazing. No one fooled The official attendance figure for the UB-RIT football game was with two 3375. Anyone functioning eyes could see that there weren’t nearly that many It makes you people there. wonder whom they were trying to fool. Or do they think the press is that gullible? Buffalo’s men’s tennis team dominated the recent Big Four Tennis Championship, winning all 21 matches.

Men’s varsity basketball practice began over the weekend. Their season begins November 29 at home vs. St. Francis of Pennsylvania. Will save money Touche-women to joinfencing team For the first time, UB’s varsity fencing team will have both male and female members. Women’s and Men’s Athletic Coordinators Betty Dimmick and Ed Muto approached coach Jules Goldstein with the idea of adding women to the team and Goldstein agreed to coach the additional players. Both the coach and Dimmick are excited about this new opportunity for women athletes. Thus far, about five women have been practicing with the team. If more women show up, Buffalo will be able to field a separate women’s team which could compete against other women’s teams in the area, including Oswego, Brockport, RIT, Colgate and Binghamton. If the number of women doesn’t increase, women will still be able to compete against male opponents. “My goal is to have a women’s team that practices and travels with the men’s team,” said Dimmick. According to Goldstein, fencing is not a very physical sport and thus the sex of a player is not important. “It doesn’t make any difference; if they’re good, they’re good,” he said. “Speed coordination and timing that’s what does it.” He added that competition between men and women is not uncommon in fencing. - Benefits twofold Dimmick explained that the benefits of a coed team are twofold it improves the women’s athletic program without increased expenditures. “This is an opportunity to get more women involved without having to hire new coaches,” she said. Both Goldstein and Dimmick emphasized that a woman need not be an experienced fencer in order to go out for the team.

The acquisitions of Billy Knight (from Indiana for Adrian Dantley), Nate Archibald (from the Nets), and Swen Nater (from Milwaukee), will make the Braves one of the most exciting teams in the N.B.A. Holdovers Randy Smith and John Shumate will round out what could be one of the best starting fives in the league. What will prevent the Braves from overtaking the Celtics, is their lack of bench strength. The names Gus Gerard, Johnny Neumann, and Jim McDaniels hardly strike fear in the hearts of teams around the league. The Nets have an uncanny New Jersey Nets ability to lose talented players and get nothing in return. The list of ex-Nets playing in the N.B.A. reads like an all-star team: Rick Barry, Julius Erving, Nate Archibald, Larry Kenon, John Williamson, and Brian Taylor.

We beat ourselves.” Those were the words Buffalo football coach Bill Dando used to describe how his young and inexperienced Bulls lost to the Canisius Griffins, 22-8. Nothing right went for all squad Buffalo’s gridiron afternoon. They never got a break, but they never helped themselves either. With their less timely fumbles, errant than passes, penalties, dropped passes (both and offensively defensively), inadequate blocking and a porous defensive secondary. the Bulls made the Griffins look better than they actually were. In the first quarter, the Bulls were forced to punt three times. In addition, a Paul DiMiero pass was intercepted at the height of the Bulls’ only scoring threat of the quarter, and the offense coughed the ball up on another occasion. That fumble proved to be quite costly since Griffin quarterback Jerry Mann turned the Buffalo error into a Canisius score. With the Bulls first and ten at their own 20 yard line, a mixup in the backfield jarred the ball loose, but unfortunately into the hands of Griffin Jim Winkfield. Two plays later, Mann rolled to his left and connected with Tom Pciitera the for the touchdown. running Errant ways The second quarter saw the Bulls continue their errant ways. Two potential touchdowns for the Bulls turned into: “Well, maybe if we . . .” Instead, neither team scored despite Buffalo’s efforts. Early in the second period, the and Gold defensive line forced Mann to toss a soft short pass into the arms of Buffalo linebacker Dan Vecchies. But Vecchies seemed to take his eye off the ball noticing that there wasn’t a Canisius player between him and the goal and dropped the ball. Blue The most devastating blow to the Bulls came just before the half. The Bulls’ Terry O’Conner snatched a Mann pass and ran it back 50 yards to bring life to the somber crowd of 5,826 at Rotary Field. On the Canisius 20 yard line, Tony Formato sliced to his left for a seven yard pickup. Two plays later, fullback Gary Feltz bulled his way to the 4 yard line. Next, he hurled his body to the two. But on the following play he was jolted and fumbled the ball. The Bulls claimed that offensive tackle Jim Vaux recovered the loose pigskin since he was the one to hand it to the but the official, officials apparently saw it differently. This week's Athlete of the Week award goes to another freshman. In last week's football game against RIT which resulted in a 7-7 tie, linebacker Dan Vecchies was involved in twenty tackles, intercepted one pass, and caused an RIT fumble stopping the Tigers' drive at the Bulls' nine yard line. Toxic chemicals. case of the Hudson, it will take years of research to determine what percent of human cancers in the Hudson Valley may t>e attributed to carcinogens in drinking water. massive Corporation’s “General Electric contamination of the Hudson River with PCBs has earned the type of publicity that a notorious case like this deserves,” noted Donald Ross, director of NYPIRG. “But, there are hundreds more toxic chemicals, some as deadly as PCBs, that are continuing to flow into the Hudson River. PCBs are just the tip of the chemical iceberg.” The organizations called on local and state legislators to conduct immediate hearings on the study’s findings. In addition, copies of the report were sent to New York State Governor Carey, Commissioner Peter Berlc of the New York State Department of Environmental Protection AGency, New York mayoral candidates Mario Cuomo, Barry Faber, Roy Goodman and Edward Koch, and The bubble burst With the halftime score in favor of Canisius 7-0, the Buffalo fans had only one thing to cheer about. Famed running back O.J. Simpson made an appearance, generating more excitement than the Buffalo offense. In the third quarter, the Buffalo bubble burst as the Griffins for two exploded cxmsecutive touchdowns, —continued from • page moving 13— • Charles Samowitz, Commissioner of the New York City Department of Water Resources. These officials were urged to give immediate attention to the problems identified in the study. In the short run, appropriate treatment technology for drinking water facilities is imperative. In the long run, the only solution is to curtail toxic discharges at their source. Both of the groups supporting this study have long histories of involvement in environmental and consumer affairs. EDF is a public-supported, non-profit environmental organization with headquarters in New York and 45,000 members nationwide. EDF has initiated many of the landmark cases which have fundamentally shaped the course of the country's water pollution and toxic chemicals control efforts. NYP1RG is a nonpartisan research and advocacy organization with offices throughout New York State. NYPIRG has been active on a variety of consumer, governmental reform and environmental issues. at will Behind the of Jim Wolowiec and Kavanaugh, the arm of ball Kevin Mann and the phenomenal catches of Mark Lloyd and Steve Szczepanski, the Griffs rolled up the score to 22-0, While the Canisius offense was on their way to their second touchdown of the quarter. however, the Bulls’ barely missed intercepting a Mann pass that he clearly could have turned into a Buffalo score, although he did break up the play. Bulls salvaged The respectability in the final period. O’Conner After DiMiero was sacked twice because of breakdowns in the offensive line, freshman southpaw quarterback Mike Niemet was inserted into the lineup. After Canisius frustrated the young ballhandler on the first two plays, Niemet threw long to Ernie Robinson who dropped the pass. But Robinson soon redeemed himself. UB touchdown (finally) Ni e me t R The o b inson combination provided the Bulls with their only score of the afternoon. Each scampered for first downs on the ground. With - Toy gun. minute remaining in the game, Niemet’s pass led Robinson into the perfectly endzone. Robinson held on to the ball this time and then ran for the two point conversion making the final one score 22—8. The Bulls have not turned into a winner overnight. It’s going to take time for Buffalo to develop into a good football team. No one knows this better than Canisius head coach Bill Brooks, who went through the building process three years ago when Canisius reinstated varsity football. “Buffalo has good football players, but they lack experience. Dando is an outstanding coach and as time goes by, they’ll improve . . . Time will tell,” said Brooks. Dando agrees that the Bulls need experience. He related, “I just hope that the kids don’t quit and the fans don’t quit on us either.” He believes that with time, Buffalo football will come around. As far as the game is concerned, Buffalo defensive coordinator Bruce Fraser stated, “When Canisius needed a pass, they got it. Defensively, there was not enough pressure, but there was no breakdown . . . they were just better than us.” —continued from • page 13 — • A few days later at the Criminal Court building, Dirk and Steve were told that they would have to appear before an “arbitration hearing,” a meeting designed to settle a conflict between two parties. The woman wanted them to realize the seriousness of their actions and did not wish to be bothered again, they were told. ‘Kung-fu crazed’ Dirk and Steve appeared September 15, 1977 in Rochester Criminal Court on charges of pointing a plastic gun at cars. The woman who brought up the charges, Mrs. Donna Deform, approximately 27 years old, confessed in an emotional speech that she had thought the gun was real and it had endangered the lives of both herself and her child in the car at the time. The incident, she claimed, had caused mental strain at home. Her husband remained silent, staring at the students in a “kung-fu crazed look,” according to Dirk. The two young men then recanted their story as fully as they could recall it. After both sides of the argument were presented, Dirk and Steve left the room. The prosecuting party discussed a fitting punishment. The verdict required the two defendants to write letters of apology to Mrs. Deform stating, Dirk revealed, that they would be “better drivers in the future.” Dirk wrote the letter a week later, using lenghy, complex words to express his apology. He was angry at the time he had wasted because of this “case.” I think maybe, maybe, I’m not sure, I might have absent-mindedly drawn a cactus,” Dirk recalled. A cactus?On a letter which was to go first through the Rochester Criminal CourtWas there any particular reason for doing this? “Perhaps some subconscious aggression,” Dirk replied. He drew it with a green Flair pen right in the middle of the page. “1 don’t think cactuses are a crime, but neither are toy machine guns,” Dirk stated defiantly. If someone pointed a plastic gun at Dirk on the highway, what would be his reaction7“l’d throw him-the bird” or “the finger,” Dirk answered. He said a slingshot, though, might scare him. Mrs. Donna Deform left New York State October 3, 1977. Dirk claimed he had nothing to do with it. Monday, 17 October 1977 .

In the first t, college students were administered electrical impulses transmitted by a machine which was faulty and could have caused serious injury or death. The second experiment used as subjects grade school children, who were given toys to play with, including one which they desired most but were forbidden to touch. A specific case involved a SUNYA student who suffered facial bums and slight retinal damage. She was asked to stare into unusually bright lights without ever having been told that the research was potentially harmful. An amended* list of .charges against the University citfd alleged vioktions that involved experiments entitled, “Personal Test of Sexual Behavior,” “Questionnaire of Types and Timing of Past Sexual Experience,” “Fantasies About Romantic Love in Heterosexuals and Homosexuals,” and “Variables Relating to the Sexual Behavior of Couples.” The State Health Department also questioned the implementation by SUNYA’s Psychology Department of its own Ethics and Review Committee. The IlCfeRK Department pointed Suf flfat this committee consisted solely of psychology professors rather than persons with varied backgrounds and interests so as to insure a competent and complete review of the human research activities. The charges constitute violations of the State Public Health Law. The punishment for such violations is a fine of up to StOOO for each instance, along with sanctions against further research activities. The October 7th hearing to which various SUNYA officials were subpoenaed has been recessed Until October 26. Albany officials have ordered all research on human subjects halted unless first cleared by the University Review-Research Committee. This action was originally taken in response to a new state law barring human research without the written consent of test subjects and clearance by a University panel: This law arose partly in response to revelations that the Central Intelligence Agency had conducted drug and other experiments on unknowing subjects. Written consent required The state statute covers “any individual who may be exposed to the possibility of injury, including physical, social or psychological injury.” All psychological testing that deals with human subjects must meet requirements set by either the New York State Public Health Law, or the Department of Health, Education and Welfare’s (HEW) Code of Federal Regulations. These regulations require that written consent of the subjects is received prior to the experiment that complete information as to the nature of the experiments provided, and that warning of any discomfort or pain to be expected during the course of the test is issued. The student newspaper at SUNY Binghampton, The Pipedream, reported, “Students participated in the psychology experiments as part or an introductory course qf a requirement for Psychology 101 were required to write a research paper in place of the experimental - - participation.” The policy of the Psychology Department at this University stipulates that all Psychology 101 students must participate in foulexperiments toreceive credit for the course. However, should a student sign up for a test and, upon appearing at the meeting place, decide he is for some reason opposed to the nature of the experiment, he may leave without participating and still receive credit. The University also has its own Ethics Committee to review all sessions. M With the current ban on research projects at Albany, It is possible that psychology testing throughout the SUNY system could be subject to carejul scrutiny by the State Health Commission. The prevalent feeling at SUNYA is that because of the current controversy, hundreds of proposed experiments will soon be snarled, if not by the state, then by a new University-wide ethics committee. / The football season opened up their first season in seven years with a 7-7 tie against RIT (see story on page 19).

' New card planned ID committee closes doors to ‘The Spectrum’ reporter 0* iL'-JTKifcS by Harvey Shapiro Spectrum Staff Writer -A. -.%■ MM A reporter from The Spectrum wss apparently illegally barred from a University ID committee meeting held Tuesday to discuss the design of a new card. According to Director of Orientation, Joseph Krakaviak, the committee decided it “could discuss the issues more freely without the danger of being misquoted if the meeting was closed.” The Spectrum has received no complaints from any persons involved in the ID card controversy concerning misquotations. Inter-Resident President Dan Kinley “the committee could effective without The policy then they have the right to close the meeting,” lie said. New ends due Freeman did no, agree with Englehndt’s interpretation. “In Midi -‘During debates in the state legislature. what constitutes a' they fact body - hc » - xj* reply was Out a Council felt that be more Spectrum writing down everything we said.” According to a spokesman for the state in Albany, Bob Freeman, the meeting definitely fell under the state’s Open Meeting, or “Sunshine Law.” Freeman said that “Section 95 of the law states An 'y that all public bodies must go into executive session” to bar the news committee does constitute a media from a meeting and that body.” Thus, he felt the ID “they must have appropriate committee here fell under the reason to do so.” Fear of being Sunshine Law. misquoted, Freeman added, is not The committee consisted of an appropriate reason and is thus Krakowiak, Kinley, University “a violation within itself.” However, a spokesman for Police representative Cory University Public Affairs, Robert Brunsky, Student Association believed Englehardt, the (SA) Executive Vice President committee was justified in its Andy Lalonde, Assistant Director actions because it did not of Systems Management Dick constitute a “public body.” “If Canale and SA President Dennis the body is not one which makes Delia, who was not present when L the reporter was asked to leave Exactly how tf|e meeting was closed it the souice of tome dispute. Krakowiak stated that “the committee members voted to close the unanimously meeting.” However, Lalonde wouldn’t term the action a “vote.” “It was more of a general consensus among the committee members.” He said there was no formal vote taken to close the meeting. A formal roll call vote is required under the Sunshine Law. The addition of the signature and date of birth to the ID card was discussed at the meeting. According to Krakowiak, the signature will be added. Regarding the birth date, the lack of which has been a major controversy this semester, “I am sure we can add it. Right now we have a proposal that Security will check to make sure that the correct date of birth will be on the card.” Acceptable proof will probably be a driver’s license, birth certificate or Sheriffs ID card. Delia said that the signature and date of birth will be on the new card. “Most probably,” he continued, “they will reissue ID cards this year." Delia added that additional meetings will be necessary before the final design is chosen. The next meeting of the ID Card Committee is Tuesday and will be “open,” according to the co-chairmen. On the agenda for Tuesday’s meeting are Food Service stickers and the problem of punching holes in the card for elections and athletic events. �Weekend meals not served atGovemors by Thomai Roaunlia Spectrum Staff Writer University Food and Vending (FVS) doe* not provide weekend food service to the Governor* Re*idence Complex according to FVS Assistant Director Donald Bozek. Bozek said the cost* of the operation are not justified by the number of people on Board Contracts eating in Governors. 250 people are required in any one residence unit in order for Food Service to break even financially, Bozek said. He claimed that last year an average of 175 Governors’ residents were served per evening during the first semester and that this figure dropped to 125 by the second semester. In order to avoid raising prices or losing money. Director of Food and Vending Service Donald Hosie decided not to serve complete meals on weekends in Governors, according to Bozek. Governors’ residents are given the choice of traveling to the Bllicott Complex for weekend meals or using the Cash Service line in Governors where students can eat up to $2.50 worth of food with a Food Service identification (ID) card. Food amice profits Because this University has no system of mandatory board contracts, which would provide a constant source of funds to Food Service and enable it to improve the quality and variety of its food, it must rely solely on the number of board contracts it sells. Bozek estimated that over 60 percent of dorm residents are on board contracts. Food Service also sub-contracts a few vending machines and realizes substantial profits from this enterprise, Bozek said. One reason for eliminating full weekend service in Governors is the seven percent increase in the cost of labor, according to Bozek. Manager of the Food Service operation in Governors Thomas Modica said that the greatest expenses are labor costs. He has a staff of 34 workers of which eight are full time staff and 26 are part-time student personnel, many of whom work only one day of the week. - Dwindling contract members Many Governors* residents feel it is preferrable to buy and prepare their own food on weekends in lieu of eating unsatisfying contract meals. On student said, “The trend seems to be more and more against board contracts, especially for weekend meals when people have more time to savor the taste of their food.” -l .. ded 7172 854 7172 FESTIVAL Student Writing requests all students to submit their work for .iMication.

U. �CARASA: a woman’s choice Members of the Coalition for Abortion Rights and Against Sterilization Abuse (CARASA) will demonstrate to protect what they feel it the freedom of choice for all women on Friday, October 14, at 4:30 pjn. in Lafayette Square. This right, the Coalition feels, is threatened by legislation such as the Hyde Amendment of 1977, which restricts the use of federal funds to terminate all but life threatening pregnancies. The central issue revolves around more than abortion, however. What lies at stake, spokespeople for Women Studies College claim, is the ability for poor, young and minority women to make free and responsible decisions concerning the use of their own bodies, “Legislators don’t get raped or pregnant,” coordinator of Women’s Studies College Sherry Darrow said. They can’t fully empathize with women who face such experiences every day.” Darrow felt that although abortion might not be a fully satisfactory means 6f birth control, it is a necessary one, until alternative methods are safer and more effective. For those women unwilling to risk the dangers of the pill or a hysterectomy, it it imperative to keep this safe, legal means open, member* of CARASA feel. They cite facts which state that over 70 percent of the nearly one million women desiring abortions would turn to illegal abortionists or dangerous “home remedies," 250 women a year would die from self-induced abortions and over 300,000 women would resign themselves to having unwanted children. Many more would enter into pregnancy related marriages with little chance of success, statistics say. Sterilization abuses, poor prenatal care and expensive and scarce childcare are other problems many women face, according to CARASA members. The purpose of the demonstration is to unite women in the fight for a freedom that will so greatly affect their lives. It is hoped that with massive support, the awareness of men and women will be raised in the realization that abortion remains a very real issue in today’s society. CARAS’* long-term goals are directed towards all aspects of freedom for women. -Dolly Tally WE’RE BACK FUNNIKINS HAND MINTED AMD JUST fO* YOU... f w*■«£ There are still students remaining in triple rooms which were intended to be doubles, according to Director of Housing Madison Boyce. “The only students remaining in triples are those who opted to do so,” he said. Many of those who were put in overcrowded rooms were students who applied for housing late, according to Assistant Director of Housing; Garry Sbehner.

Create more space ■■%£ ■ Boyce said that if the overcrowding problem rose, again either students will be put in overcrowded rooms or “turned away.” The preventive measure would be reconversion of Spaulding offices back ■§ into a dorm space. The extra students were placed in roonis formerly used to store furniture and custodial equipment. Residents are unable to reach the first floor by elevator and must exit qn the second floor and cross the plat's to* another building in order to gain setts* to the first level. The elevator has been turned off for a reason ■, explained Soehner. “The elevator opens on the first floor of the dining area used for Dr. Ketter’s receptions and award dinners,” he said. “If the elevator was in use, people would be passing through constantly. The area is always set up to accommodate the receptions.” - Lack of an elevator on the first floor creates an inconvenience for some students. Andy Soh, a transfer student who applied late and housed in building 7, said he has a problem moving his bicyde. “When I take it out, I have to carry it up and down a flight of stairs. It would be a lot easier and quicker with an elevator.*’ One student who moved from Main Street to Spaulding quad complained about the absence of mirrors and has been informed that no mirrors will be available this year. “It’s tike living in the woods,” he said.

I’d like to thank The Spectrum for printing Mr. Herbin’s ill conceived letter. It has given me an opportunity to state something I’ve wanted to say i or a long time. Respect Chabad It is not unreasonable to conclude that, had The Spectrum (and thus by proxy, our 15,000 readers) been present at all the previous meetings of the various ID card committees, the University would not now be faced with a useless 10 card and no one to blame. What is clearly needed is more participation in the decision making process at this University, not less. Barring concerning his encounter with Chabad and his respect fpr “religious” Judiasm: firstly, I am flattered by your respect, yet I question your understanding of it. Simchas Torah translated means rejoicing of the law; the law is the Written and Oral Torah; the Torah is a body of values and obligations dealing with the human condition. It is an extensive work that demands integrity, charity, and intelligence on the part of man with himself, others and God. Torah will, not settle for amendments or deletions and yet it covers every aspect of human life. The Torah can be interpreted in at least 70 different facets and on four separate levels. On a very simple level, the festival of Simchas Torah is meant to be celebrated in song, dance, and very high spirits. It is one festival that has a custom of getting “almost completely drunk,” yet never drunk enough to desecrate the Torah or the holiday. What shall we celebrate, Mr. Herbin, man’s failures or his gifts?As far as Chabad is concerned: in a time when many Jews are ignorant of their Jewish history and of the Torah and are open game for non-Jewish missionaries, thank G-d for Chabad which, if you really want to know the truth, probably respects your respect much more than you do.

I shall try, as much as possible, to avoid this practice. The three authors of Wed. letter, Messrs N.A.Y., have followed the usual practice. First, we must understand that National self determination is not something that is given out like a birth certificate or a lolly pop. It is something that is earned and much struggle necessitates its con tinnance. We, the Jewish people, paid our price in the blood of our fathers and are still paying it with thwblood of our children. The Arab conceives of us as a people, skilled in accounting and other science* or trades, inferior to the Arab Moslem because of our beliefs and the fact (Jut we had the nerve to dismiss their prophet Mohammed as being not genuine. This relegates us to the position, much discussed but rarely felt personally by those who read and write these letters, of second dais. We and a hundred other minorities in the Middle East are classified as second-class because we are either not Arab or not Moslem. Now don’t suppose for a second that the Arabs are going to let an accusation like that go free. In subsequent issues you might see me accused of all sorts of terrible crimes. Unless you personally have lived under the thumb of Arab-Mosiem National Chauvinism, you have nothing to say.

The fact that it is ruled by a king who is not Palestinian but rather from Saudi Arabia/ is a problem for the Palestinians to cope with. The Jewish area is now called Israel and as was then defined, included the Gaza strip and the West Bank of the Jordan. The Arabs could not, however, cope with such a situation. Place yourself in their position for a moment. Here you are, on the brink of controlling, a huge land area your ancestors once did, when along comet a small minority trying to gain its independence. What do you do? If you are Arab, yoii attempt to exterminate that minority and silence the rabble so that none of the other minorities you are suppressing get any ideas. That is precisely what the Arabs did. The only problem is, they did not succeed. Today we have a modern state of Israel. We also have modem Arab states. The only thing that makes most Arab states modem is their existence in this time zone and their armies. Israel, on the other hand, is a modem DEMOCRATIC country that has been in a state of war continuously for thirty years. Anyone, even the Arabs, that exists under such a condition for such a time is bound to make grave errors. Compare, though, the judicial processes of the two sides. Israel has jails full of convicted Arab terrorists, some who have murdered hundreds of innocent civilians. Please find me a similar condition in a single Arab country. If oqe is accused of murder, one has a variety of choices in the Arab world; death by torture, death by firing squad, death by hanging, death by suicide, death, death, death. We heard Mr. Al Shadi explain away the deaths of 40 people demonstrating in Egypt as inconsequential. The Arab world treats all life in opposition to the reigning political clique as inconsequential. This is precisely why Israel does not trust them and why the American people should not trust them. Our president obviously sees political necessity in trusting the Arabs. For Israel, political necessity is no reason to throw away human life. as. Samuel M. Prince �Guest Opinion Because we do not love life: reflections on the arms race by Walter Simpson The neutron bomb? Does it scare you? Does it make you sick? Or perhaps you just can’t figure out why other people are worrying about it. In case you’ve been on the moon, the neutron bomb, also called “the people killer," is the latest model nuclear weapon and it has the remarkable ability to kill people (with a burst of neutrons) while leaving property and material structures undamaged. A wonder of modern science. And in a fit of obscenity the U.S. House of Representatives just voted (297-109) to go ahead with the productiqn of this nightmarish device. Yes, some of us have been shocked by the neturon bomb, but it’s the exception. The cruise missile never turned out heads: and we were only slightly annoyed by the B-l bomber. What is it about the nuclear arms race that leaves us so indifferent? So unmoved? Here we are, captives of the doctrine of Mututal Assured Destruction (MAD), and what do we do? Nothing. We sit back studying Anglo-American lipistemology (or some such thing) while a small number of men stand in charge of vast nuclear arsenals that can make ashes of us and of every thing else on earth. You say that nuclear weapons are necessary to protect democracy? But what’s democratic about Carter and Brezhnev deciding for everyone whether the world has a future? In a crisis, see if either one of them takes a vote! To put it bluptly, we’ve been had. Moreover. We have acquiesced. We have accepted the fate of hostages of the nuclear arms race. Though we are not tied and gagged, we might as welfbe. We are silefit and passive. But why? For the answer to this question, we'll have to examine to ourselves closely, turning from epistemology psychology. Psychologists tell us that one way W(i handle difficult conflicts is by denying them. The suburbanite says, “Drug addiction? It can’t happen here!” liven though bis own son is strung out right before his own eyes. It is the same with nuclear weapons. “They’ll never be used,’’ we say to comfort ourselves. We conveniently forget evidence that points to a different conclusion: Hiroshima and Nagasaki, 1945: the brinkmanship exemplified by the Cuban Missile Crisis: Nixon’s plans to use nukes in Vietnam; NATO’s current “possible first-use" doctrine: the expansion of the “nuclear club” as more countries obtain the bomb: and, of course, the ever-present possibility of an ejrror or accidqpt. In addition, let’s not foist that neutron bomb. One major objection to it is thar it will lower the nuclear threshold and make the use of nuclear weapons more likely. Because the neutron bomb won’t cause the physical destruction that other nuclear weapons would, the use of the neutron bomb will be viewed as less unthinkable, or, in other words, as more acceptable. But how can the use of nuclear weapon be '' - This makes it all too easy to acquiesce. Nobel laureate Albert Szent-Gyorgyi explains: “When ray wife tells me, ‘The water is hot.* I am careful; but if I hear that an atomic explosion has IS million degrees of heat, it means nothing to me... 1 am deeply moved if I see a man suffering and 1 would risk my life for him. Then I talk impersonally about the possible pulverization of our big jcities. with a hundred million dead. I am unable to multiply one man’s suffering by a hundred million.” Indeed, even our terms are misleading and our thinking is archaic. We speak of something called “national security,” yet after spending over SI.5 trillion on it since the end of World War 11. our country has no defense against missiles and can be destroyed in 30 minutes. We call it a “nuclear arms race” as though we can win if we somehow stay ahead, yet if the race continues, everyone will lose. The warriors clamor for something called “nuclear superiority.” but do the relative sizes of nuclear arsenals have any meaning in a world where the superpowers can already destroy each other niany times over? Albert Finstein said: ‘‘The unleashed power of the atom has changed everything except our ways of thinking. Thus we are drifting toward a catastrophe beyond ' comparison.” Yes, we are locked into old ways of thinking. When we think of a bomb, we think of a hand grenade or a stock of dynamite. When we think of a war. we try to imagine wars that have come before. Recognising this. Finstein called for “a substantially new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive.” Yes, the arms race is scary. And we arc afraid afraid of atomic bombs and afraid of death and failure and loneliness and afraid of sex and afraid of love. What often goes unnoticed, however, is the incapacitating effect of fear. Fear functions to make us acquiesce. It distorts our perception and impairs our judgment and ability to reason. It also paralyzes our actions. In fact, if we are desperate enough, we will buy anything including the reckless and blasphemous slogan of the Cold Warriors:' In Arms We Trust. As.we hope and pray for a real breakthrough in the SALT talks, let me leave you with the words of lirich do not Fromm: “How can we understand that people stand up and protect?... There are many answers: yet none of them gives a satisfactory explanation unless it includes the following: that people are not afraid of total destruction because they do not love life ..“ Let those who love life join in protesting our nuclear » acceptable? The generals - think that a nuclear war can be contained. That it can be limited to two or three neat, clean, surgical neutron bomb blasts. But who knows? One of our favorite pastimes is passing the buck. Forgetting that Nixons can be president and that a generation of well-dressed think tankers brought us the war in Vietnam, some of us acquiesce to the arms race by leaving the MIRVs and the MARVs to the president and his Pentagon and State Department experts. But can we trust them to care about us? We also evade responsibility by pleading powerlessness jn the face of the military-industrial complex. We retreat into the woodwork. But the feeling of powerlessness js a self-fulfilling prophesy. Where are we heading? Add to these hangups the fact that our language and imagination are inadequate to describe the threat we face. - Attack on *Barbarian Support Bakke - _ ... . madness. 9 ‘To the Editor To the Editor. I would like to respond to the self-centered points which have been recently expressed in The Spectrum by the Committee to Reverse the Bakke Decision. How the committee fails to see the REAL beef behind the opposition to quota laws is beyond me. The reason for my opposition is one of personal gain, but everyone else benefits or loses similarly. It is best explained from the case of quotas among prospective doctors. I personally don’t care if my doctor is black, white, green, purple, or whatever (and 1 don’t think that many others would care, either). AH I care about is whether or not he gets the job done, it is more likely to get done by someone with high grades in med school than by someone with lower grades who snuck through on a ludicrous quota law. And with doctors’ fees the way they are today, I had better get the best people I can. But with quota laws, my chances of doing so are diminished. So you see, committee members, my opposition isn’t one of racism. It’s one of good health care. Your guest opinion of October 5 further convinces me Of the weakness of their position. How Anita Bryant’s campaign or the Nazi march through Skoki, Illinois would benefit the well-to-do white male is beyond me. Furthermore, 1 wholeheartedly support the decision to stop federally funded abortions. It’s about time that tax dollars stopped going toward the murder of .society’s most innocent Human beings; the unborn. This is especially true of abortions committed for “mental health” reasons (who do those “mosthers” think they’re kidding?. Their only mental problem is inability to refrain from sexual pleasures when they know full well of the consequences beforehand. And it’s a bigger problem than the financial inabilities which many of them claim. I am not a well-to-do white male, although someday I may be. But I doubt that any of these decisions could help me more than anyone else. in conclusion, I am more convinced than ever, after reading the committee’s comments, that the Bakke decision was in fact correct. And may I suggest that instead of channeling their efforts into maintaining a harmful quota law, they channel them into obtaining an equal education system which they correctly claim is needed, and which would eliminate the need for silly quotas. Henry Senefelder III % While glancing through the “Letters” column on Friday morning, we came across an obsenity in the guise of a reply to an article written about the New York Yankees. We are referring to the vicious attack made by “Barbarian" against the City of New York •nd its inhabitants. Over the past few difficult years of the City’s history, we have tired of two-legged vermin of Barbarian’s type who delight in the current plight of the city. Much like their fellow low-life in New Jersey who relish their stamped-out houses and shopping malls, these people do not seem to realize that New York City is the commercial, political and entertainment capital of the nation, if not the world. Any event that, takes place in New York City directly affects the entire world. As for his uncalled for volley against the New York Times, we are sure that Barbarian would be wiser to read it than the dish-rag that is published in his home town. New York City incidentally remains the journalistic capital of the world. Finally we would like to suggest a visit by Barbarian to the city before he attempts to slander it again. Unfortunately we are almost certain that he is Just another inane drone who thrills at the chance to malign one of the great institutions of the world New York City, The Big Apple!

Panama belongs to the Panamanian people and new markets. The materials Spanish-American war convinced the U.S. of the need to build the canal. When Columbia rejected outrageous U.S. demands, U.S. decided to support the Independence movement in Panama. With U.S. troops and warships standing by to thwart any Columbian attack, Panama became independent in 1903, And within two weeks, Panama was locked into a treaty even more disadvantageous than the one the U.S. proposed to Columbia. It was not even negotiated by the Panamanians. The treaty granted the U.S. all power and ■ authority “as if it were sovereign” in the canal zoric, a strip of 500 square miles and this in perpetuity f raw :*-• ***** The United Steles has signed a new treaty on calls for the gradual transfer of control over the Panama Canal and the Canal Zone from the U S. to the Panamanian government by the end of the century. The treaty also gives the U.S. the permanent right to share the defense of the canal with Panama even after It. comes under Panamanian jurisdiction. Sut the struggle the Panamanian people have been waging for more than 70 years is not to replace the unequal treaty of 1903 imposed on them by another unequal treaty. The just demand of the Panamanian people is ter full sovereignty over their country and for the complete and immediate withdrawal of all U.S. military installations, bases and troops from the Panamanian territory. These aspirations were best summed up in the statement: “The Panamanian people can no longer put up with the existence of a partition wall, a foreign wall, a foreign cop, a forcefully hoisted flag, or an imposed judge.” Hence the signing of the new treaty can in no way signify the end of the struggle of the made abundantly Panamanian people. This has clear, when on the eve of the treaty ceremony, the Panamanians demonstrated under the banner, “As long as one American soldier remains oh Panamanian soil, Panama will not be free.” Hens in the U.S., in (he course of the current debate over the ratification of the treaty, an euphoria has been federated to convince the American people that the Panama canal is “ours.” Typical of this imperialist rhetoric is the statement of Regan and others on the canal: “We bought it. we built it, we paid for it -V;” But a look at history exposes these lies and shows that, in fact, the Panama Canal belongs to the Panamanian people. September 7th, that Ip Following the History pf 190S Treaty successful wars of liberation against Spanish and Portugese colonialism in Latin America, Panama came under the control of Columbia. Throughout the last half of the 19th century Panama struggled unsuccessfully for independence.

By the tjirn of the century U.S. capitalism was roaming the hemisphere in search of : ■“ The Spectrum Friday, 14 October 1977 Rage w ten. . ■ ' B m* - The ttought If, Wc Paid I'ur It construction of the canal itself involved hardly any U.S. workers; 90 percent of the Workforce was ,: .. Blacks brought from the West Indies and the rest were Panamanians and workers from neighboring countries, who were paid $.10 an hour. In the ten years of construction, a staggering total of more than 32,000 workers died of disease, accidents and the generally terrible working conditions.. Since the canal was completed in 1914; it has served Ao nation as it has served the U.S., and Panama, the least of all. The Panama ('anal Company is a state monopoly owned by the U.S. Over 70 percent of the total tonnage that is routed through the canal annually, h«s either originated in or been destined for the United States. The toll rates originally set in 1914. have not been increased until just over three years ago. This artificial low toll rate constitutes a massive, disguised subsidy to U.S. trade. Recent studiei. of the United Nations Hconomic Commission for Latin America show that the self-serving U.$. toll policy constitutes a 600-700 mHlion dollar savings per year. This sum dwarfs the famous ten million dollars paid to Panama for the . use of the canal zone in 1904. The U.S. pays Panama a token annuity of about 2 million dollars per year, while it collects over 100 million dollars annually in toll alone. And this is in addition to the disguised profits referred to before. It is to this-reality the Regans of the United States refer, when they claim: «We bought it. we paid for it and it is ours!" Panama as Part o) U.S. Imperialist Policy .The conditions of the 1903 treaty stipulate that the U.S. is allowed only such military presence as is absolutely necessary for the protection and the defense of the canal. But pne can clearly see today the relationship between U.S. military presence in Panama and its imperialist practices throughout Latin America. The Pentagon has turned 68 percent of the Canal Zone’s territory into a virtual military garrison, while the canal operation and the towns associated with it occupy a meager 3.6 percent of the land area. It is home for 13 army, marine and air force bases, 14,000 U.S. troops, a Creen Beret Training Program, and the headquarters for U.S. the Southern military operations in Latin America Command (SOUTHCOM); The connections between SOUTHCQM, recently renamed the 193rd Brigade, and Latin American militarism are obvious. Since the late 1940s, some 40,000 Latin American military and special police forces have passed through the School of the Americas, where the curriculum ranges from counterinsurgency to an introduction to the “American way of life." SOUTHCOM also coordinates the work of U.&. “military groups” teams of U.S. advisors maintained m 16 Latin American countires. It is no surprise that countless U.S. military interventions into Latin American countries have been launched from the Canal Zone. Panama Struggles for Sovereignty: Throughout the last 60 or more years, the Panamanian .people have been waging relentless struggles to achieve sovereignty as a nation and as a people, and against, all modes of domination, control and plunder by U.S. imperialism. Most recently in 1464. Panamanian students marched into the Canal Zone and raised the I’anamanian flag amidst the bullets of the U S. army. More than 500 Panamanians were wounded and 22 killed. The Panamanian government broke off diplomatic relations with the U.S. The struggles of the Panamanian people have won wide support and sympathy from various countries and people of the world, particularly those from Latin America. The United Stales hopes that the new treaty would he a minor concession to Panama in order to preserve the hulk of Us control over I.at in America (including Panama) and to ward off a decisive defeat hy the Latin American people. But the Panamanian people who have firmly waged a protracted struggle are bound to carry through to the end. their struggle to attain full sovereignty over the canal and uphold their national independence. The Panama Canal belongs to the Panamanian people. The. United Stales must completely vacate ; Panama, unconditionally and immediately. - �No-show, no-park |B m mm-mm-mm m mcovMrnm 'gr.'f'f *'■ Qouriiwt if “* To the Editor I would like to congratulate you and your staff, especially the photographer oh the photograph of the 1974 Matador on page 4, Oct. 7 The Spectrum.

Floor Cafeteria). Also appearing will be traditional singer. Bill Maraschiello. For many years, Basho's reputation among guitar fans has been immense, and has been spreading to other areas of the musical spectrum as well. His style on 6- and 12-string guitars is a virtuoso combination of Indian (both Hindu and American), Persian, Chinese, and folk influences; he calls his fluid, flowing way of playing "the new Pegasus technique first you ride, then you fly." . m — If you buy any stereo system for less money... You’ve paid loo much! Six-string orchestra "My main concern", Basho has said, "is to establish the steel-string guitar as a concert instrument in America." Basho has gone further in this direction than either Fahey or Kottke: many of his compositions are, in effect, symphonies, for the guitar (such as "Lost Lagoon Suite" on his Taloma album The Falconer's Arm Vol. I). Others are closer to a kind of music that expresses America in the same way that the raga expresses India. Basho has studied with Indian master Ali Akbar Khan.) His command of the guitar is astounding. In amazing complexity or striking simplicity, he draws out the colors of a forest or a desert, of gods or or lovers. His voice is almost as much an instrument as his guitar, and he often uses it as a wordless counterpoint to his playing. In over a decade, Basho has recorded for John Fahey's Takoma The Falconer's Arm, the superb Song of the Stallion. Blue Thumb Venus in Cancer, whose testeless cover conceals some wonderful music and Vanguard The Voice of the Eagle. A longtime resident of Berkeley, he's wanted to play "the Berkeley of the East" (that's Buffalo, believe it or not) for a long time; his appearance is very welcome to everyone who enjoys extraordinary guitar.

Leo is also with Anthony on Trio and Duet (Toronto's Sackville Records), along with synthesizer master Richard Teitlbaum (who has a superb Arista Freedom LP, Time Zones, with Anthony), and Dave Holland, wizard of the bass. The acoustic power of electronics merge in a spiraling aurora of dreams' delight. Michael Gregory Jackson's Clarity (Bi|a) is the Music of the Sun pouring thru the mists of fresh fallen raid. Michael, whose guitar work ranges from flamenco to soulful folk melodies and more, is joined by Leo, Oliver Lake, and David Murrary, a tenor master whose sound brings the heat of newborn volcanoes to bear. The hour of the communal tribunal is at hand, an exotic familiarity. Even the fragrancy of WHdtlowers (The Loft Sessions on Douglas Records) are but a poignant prelude. Leo also teaches at the Creative Music Studio in Woodstock. The Studio, the concept of vibesmaster Karl Berger, is a locale for musicians to gather and exchange views with each other, as well as a learning center to develop one's knowledge and skill. A place for free flowing self-discipline. Enjoyment. Unlike the fairy tale, one can't force a swan from an ostrich; you have to stretch your own neck. • iambi is Haitian for ear.

(last year's vintage) and scanned it till I noticed three semi-human looking people playing their instrumnets expressionless and solemn. It seemed as If these folks were trying to look too normal NO IMAGE ... neat process. But the aura depicted some sort of innocence about what they were playing. And I immediately began to grow curious of the musical attributes that surrounded Talking Heads, (maybe it was just the way Tina and David would stand toward each other). My curiousity had no idea that the music could explode so heavily in the form "Loves Goes Building On Fire," the first single they recorded for Sire. The forty-five - even included that nearly extinct process of a picture sleeve photo (three normals, clam and cute). Since that time the forty-five has evolved into a complete thirty three long player Talking Heads: 77. And what it clearly proves is that guitarist/composer David Byrne has scaled a new medium form of intergajactic pop. Tempos rush and bounce in impetuous and fun-like meters hooking in such odd tonality that the stuff breathes musical life into eardrums exposed the normally of AM airplay. With this one release David has come into his own. He's mastered the precision of the verse in a simple but gloriously effective way that even his fellow associates, (Ron Mael, lOcc, and Alex Harvey) would highly acclaim. For openers the group once again displays a fine piece of hit magic off in a entitled, "Uh-Oh Love Comes To Town" which dashes delightful I pop/reggae feel spiced with steel drums. It only took me three listenings before I was humming and whistling the tune in my sleep. Some infatuation lies within the lyrical creation loading Dick and Jane sincerity with plenty of promiscuous asides and neurotic habits of self-consciousness. If the Stranglers' leader, Hugh Cornwell, evokes a world of rejection and sexual frustration, then David is the jester who would taunt him. One of the best cuts next to the opener; "Don't Worry About the Government" displays the group at their best melodically and lyrically, demonstrating some of the simple word ingenuity with choruses like: \ — Saturday, Oct. 15 8:30 Squire Hall - M.S.C.

Add David's intonations, (his voice rises and quivers near falsetto peak when he gets excited or drarhatic). He also has this humoresque style of impedance, ("psycho killer, qu'est-ce que c'est?, fa fa fa fa") which is like Willie Wonka bumping heads with Raymond Chandler. The other element in Talking Heads music include the inventive formula of calypso plus pop, to x2 plus pop, they definately stretch to a great degree of variance. Personnel consists of drummer Chris Frantz, bassist Tina Weymouth, (married to Chris), who along with David Byrne comprise the original trio of Talking Heads which met at the Rhode Island School of Design in 74'. The latest addition is keyboards/guitarist, Jerry Harrison, formerly of the Modern Lovers nad an invaluable asset to the rich bulk of the melodies, especially when the group performs live. So now there are four normal looking people in Talking Heads. Hopefully the other three will be able to donate material to the studio antics the second time they record. So lookout suburbia!

Give them a chancel Prodigal Sun �II —— Ron Carter Quartet, Piccolo (Milestone) When talking bass, the name to remember is Ron Carter. Voted best acoustic bassist in the country by Down Boat Critics and Readers Poll for the past seven years. Carter is by far the contemporary jazz overlord of the bass. He has played with a virtually endless list of modern jazz greats, and has preformed on over 400 albums in the last ten years. Naturally, when one picks up a new Ron Carter album, he/she is in for an ecstatic adventure. On Piccolo, the Ron Carter Quartet consists of drums, piano and two basses. Buster Williams plays a regular, upright acoustic bass, while Carter plays a custom designed piccolo bass. The piccolo bass is the size of a cello with the strings tuned upside-down (C,G,D,A), at on a cello; This is a style rarely experimented with in jazz, specifically in quartets, yet it is this which gives the album its exquisite pre-eminence. Originally Ron Carter played the ciauical cello, which he prefers to the bass. He graduated from Eastman School of Music with a B.A. and received his masters from the Manhattan School of Music. However, he had trouble breaking the color barrier of classical orchestras. It was for this reason, and because most people are not into classical music, that Ron made the switch to jazz. He started out with Chico Hamilton in 1959 and from these went to freelancing and studio sessions. In 1963 he joined Miles Davis' famed quintet and the rest is history. During this summer he toured with Herbie Hancock's VSOP, for obvious musical reasons, and for an opportunity to expand his audience. Piccolo will, no doubt, encourage others to join the already immense bond of Ron Carter admirers. Piccolo spans a wide range of the jazz spectrum. From the blues bop of Thelonius Monk's "Blue Monk" (and Carter does bop with his lead piccolo bass), to the long, weaving interludes of "Sunshower" Ron makes a believer out of skeptics who say a bass player can not lead a group. His bow allows the auditor to flow along with "Sunshower" while Buster Williams keeps the pieces together with a rich bass tine backing Ron's leads. Kenny Berron is the consummate pianist for the occasion. He is never overpowering but comes through with the lustihood that only a craftsman of his ability can attain. Ben Riley completes the rhythm quartet on drums. "Saguaro", written by Carter, opens this two record LP. and enables the listener to umple some of the most brilliant improvisation around today. The session was recorded at Sweet Basil's, on 7th Avenue South in New York City, which provides a musical atmosphere that can not be rivaled. First glimpses bring to mind Coltranes "Impressions", but the quartet springs to the melody of "Suicide is Painless" (Theme from M*A*S*H). The track swings for a while with Barron taking charge, leading the way for a magnificent interlude of piccolo and standard base. Carter transverses the scales with the cleanliness only a master can achieve vdiich leaves the audience, at home and at Sweet Basil's stupefied. This album is a total musical triumph. I'm afraid I originally questioned the musical enjoyment I would receive out of the album, but Carter proved me wrong, He displays a virtuoso on 'Three Little Words" that leaves me with a similar jubilant sensation produced by John Coltrane, on the same track, from the immortal Bags and Trane album. Buster Williams says itbest about the duo bass: "It's a totally unique situation. The contrast between the two basses is what makes it work so beautifully." Here is an album with great trend setting qualities and is a must for any jazz connoisseurs' collection. —i Peter Gordon 10* WHimpmt Am, 716-831-4046 Emotional, family S drug related problems Problems in living, rape A crisis outreach Referral services, all confidentsa! r •wniog begins ■ October '77 WBUF-93 Bring back the boogie of the David Bpombtpq Band with special guest Jmnm Otdarman Friday, Oct. 21 at 7 a to pm Dark Gym in mala at: SUD BOARD & ONE, INC Gong Live, Etc. (Virgin) Pot head pixies rejoice. Planet Gong lives. Flying teapots are once again being sighted, at least in the form of this double live import. The number of double live LP's continue to flow, but here we have the cream of the crop. At least in terms of the relatively unknown European groups such as Magma and Gong. If you want to compare: the European Mothers of Invention with composer/poet/humorist/guitarist Daevid Allen posing as Frank Zappa. Here we have vintage Gong circa 1973/75 in the form of Daevid Allen (guitar, vocals), "Bloomdido" Oidler Malherbe (saxes, flute, percussion), Gilli Smyth (space whisper), Steve Hillage (guitar, vocals), Mike Hewlett (bass, vocals), "Moonweed" Tim Blake (synthesisers, vocals), Pierre Moerlen (drums), Rob Tate (drums), Di Stewart (vocals and percussion), Mireille Bauer (percussion), Miquette Giraudy (voices yonic), and last but not least Patrice Lemoine (keyboards). This lineup is one which has covered the lifespan of Gong during the three year period mentioned earlier, so beware, be aware. "You can't kill me" from the first LP "Camembert Electrique" (recorded in 1971) is a fitting beginning to a great album followed by "Zero the hero and the witches spell" from "Radio Gnome Invisible, Part I—The Flying Teapot", which was the beginning of the the famous Radio Gnome trilogy. Both songs were recorded in May 1973 at the Edinburgh Festival, along with the final tune on side one "Flying teapot". Side two returns t "Camembert Electique" with "Dynamite/I am your animal" and "6/8" from the LP "Angels Egg". "Est-Ce Que Je Suis" an unreleased by Allen continues and all were recorded at "Club Arc-Enciel, j Prodigal Sun OtKara SS.OO Roanne" in Aug. 1973. The final cut on this side "Ooby-Scooby Doomsday of The D-Day DJ's Got The O.O.T. Blues" was recorded at Manor Studio, in June 1973 a one off attempt at Daevid's idea of a previously unreleased. top 40 hit single "Radio Gnome Invisible" starts off side three. Daevid Allen leads off with his "pot head pixie" rhetoric which continues in the form of "Bloomdido Bad De Grasse" (Malherbe) and a fine soprano sax intro. "Oily Way" shows how fine a flautist Malherbe is with Allen and Smyth adding strong vocals. "Outer Temple" and "Inner Temple" follow from "Angels Egg" and showcase Tim Blake's surrealistic synthesiser doodling. These recorded live at BBC Studios January 1974. Lastly on side three is another unreleased cut "Where haveall the flowers gone" another abortive attempt single recorded at Manor studios. Side four is the final landing of the flying teapot. "Isle of Everywhere" from the LP You, (Part three of the Radio Gnome trilogy) really have Moerlen (drums) and Malherbe (sax) cooking right straight thru "Master builder" and ending with "Flying teapot". The whole side recorded at the Marquee dub. Sept. 1975 sans Daevid Allen and most of the Gong Lineup from 1973. This last side is truly a sad final note to the classic Gong mythology of the "Pot head pixies". After Allen had split early in 1975 Steve Hillage soon followed and what we had known of Gong was only a memory. This live album, for all you from the planet Gong, is a must if you can find it. But don't despair, another live album soon to come, is a reunion of the original Gong group. It should prove to be interesting. Good luck in finding both of these. —Bohdan Namynanik — — Friday, 14 October 1977 . The Spectrum .

To belong to Chi Omega, you must fulfill certain requirements. an you First, must be undergraduate student of UB. You must belong to at least two organizations on campus and partake in at least two civic service projects yearly. And they don’t just take anyone. They are looking for women with many strong points, such as dynamism, community high involvement, scholastic achievement, and other qualities which the women of Chi Omega feel will enhance their group. After the rash, certain women are asked to pledge. This takes anywhere from six weeks to a semester. Pledging is culminated by an initiation rite that is secret and described by Reardon as a beautiful traditional ceremony bonding them as “sisters.” They stress attempts at making women more independent and confident, and developing their talents to the fullest. They also stress learning how to sacrifice. The women there appear quite content. Those that join stay for long periods of time, and when they do leave, it is usually a response to moving on or getting married. , ' * this would be an invasion of privacy to other women living in , -- 1 mental OastLiub K;| ' The OOPM 8:00 SATUI OCTOBER 15,1977 FILLMORE ROOM-SQUIRE HALL .

It will be showing at the Valu Cinema through Tuesday, October 18. Returning to a familiar theme, Director Chabrol weaves a stark, haunting psychological melodrama around a murder. Charles (Michael Bouquet) is visiting his mistress, Laura. Her perverse game playing turns all too real as Charles strangles Laura instead of releasing her neck from his grasp. Charles, understandably shaken by this chain of events, leaves the scene of the crime. Charles’ guilt over his crime begins to gnaw at him. Complicating matters is his friendship with Francois (Francois Perrier), the dead woman s husband. An architect who has built Charles’ home in the suburbs of Paris, Francois is not overly grieved at his wife’s death. He shares a sedate, almost emotionless character with Charles. The one exceptiorT to the emdtiotial sterility Charles exhibits is his increasingly consuming guilt over the murder. Finding it more and more difficult to sleep, Charles takes larger and larger doses of laudanum to relieve the insomnia. Finally, Charles cannot stand being the only one who knows of his deed, and he confesses everything to his wife Helene (Stephane Audran). Helene unabashedly says she understands and forgives his transgressions. Charles is unrelieved by this, as his need is not to be forgiven, but to be somehow punished. Seeking solace in further confessions, Charles tells the whole truth to Francois. Francois shows even less shock than Helene at these revelations. Indeed, without even batting an eyelash, Francois absolves Charlfes from all guilt in his eyes with the remark, “No one is guilty of acts performed in a nightmare.” It is as if their lives have meaning equal to that of dreams none at all. - Social Class Denial On another level Chabrol explores the intellectual fancies of the bourgeoise and their seeming denial of their social class as a means of expurgation. Francoise and Charles are both extremely successful economically, as evidenced by their material possessions. Charles has had Francois design and build an ultra-modern home according to a theory Charles has regarding sclerosis, the bourgeoise, and modernity. As Francois relates the theory, the interior design of Charles’ home will keep him from thinking of himself as bourgeoise, and from developing sclerosis. Chabrol has provided a subtle but effective critique of the middle-class. Their simplicity of thought and emotions and commitant plethora of material possessions is the wrong formula for achieving happiness, as his characters have plenty of the former and none of the latter.

On the Morning of November 16, Buffalo will wake to the unfamiliar sound of two Sunday newspapers beating on its door. After nearly a century of playing “Never on Sunday,” the Buffalo Evening News is coming face to face with its long-time competitor, the Courier-Express, as the initial volley is fired in what promises to be a hard fought battle for the lucrative Sunday morning market. Wardlow said. “There were the At stake for the News is a huge usual cons,” he observed, “but we investment in abandoning a were finding a lot more pros.” six-night-a-week profitable Sometime near the end of the operation to contest the Courier summer, the decision to switch on both Saturday and Sunday weekend coverage from only a evening to mornings. The financially stronger Saturday paper News is gambling a 300,000 Saturday and Sunday morning Saturday evening circulation on editions was officially rendered. beating the Courier at itk own Wardlow said upper levels of the ad heavy, feature packed News administration, including game himself, were centrally involved in Sunday morning editions. At stake for the Courier could the decision. Some staff members at the be survival as a family owned News felt otherwise, claiming that newspaper. In addition to the dollar Wardlow and other top editors amounts, the jobs and the were informed of the official personal pride at risk in the battle decision shortly before the rest of for Sundays, is the Buffalo area’s the staff and the general public. unique status as a newspaper “A lot of the key editors only the market. Recent figures show knew the day before fewer than 3 percent of major announcement was made that markets across the nation have there was to be a Sunday paper,” competing, independently owned said one /tyws staff member, who newspapers and if current trends felt the new policy, however continue, newspaper competition sound, was instituted solely on in America may all but disappear. the “whimsical basis of one man’s reason, For the opinions.” this page-to-page rivalry between the Buffalo Evening News and the Stay and fight The announcement came as no Courier-Express commands added intrigue and is expected to be shock to the Courier. Though the closely watched by the national smaller paper had long had Sundays to itself, and was kept media establishment. financially afloat because of it, rumors of a switch to Sundays by the News had over the years Groundwork for the sprouted periodically. With the head-to-head weekend passing of Mrs. Edward Butler, the competition was layed last April News's publisher, in 1974, and the when the News was sold by purchase in April by Buffet, family to changes in the News marketing Buffalo’s Butler out-of-town millionaire Warren approach appeared certain. official When the Buffet’s corporation, Blue Chip announcement by the News came, Stamps Inc. Rumors of the shift to Sundays the Courier circulated a memo - began stirring almost immediately in the newsrooms of both papers. The financially reeling Courier had squeezed out a slim $1,600 profit the year before and projected a loss this year of over half a million dollars. This unstable condition at the Courier considering Buffet’s desire to turn the News into a nationally prominent newspaper, seemed to be a prelude to change. Not publishing on Sundays was almost unheard of in major markets across the country. According to Woody Wardlow, Managing Editor of the News, Buffet began asking “familiar” about Sunday questions after his shortly publication purchase. Wardlow said the new owner took look one at the six-day operation and uttered something to the effect, “My God, news happens everyday. If we’re going to be a national newspaper, why aren’t we out there every day?” Conflicting reports In response to the new owner’s inquiries, a feasibility study was undertaken by the company, among its employees outlining the paper’s response to the challenge. According to staff members, the memo stated that the Courier was basically faced with three options Sell, Fold or Fight. The Courier the memo announced, had chosen the third. Was any consideration given to the other two options? “No,” said , IV, William Connors Vice President of the Courier. “We felt it would be a disservice to the The community to fold. possibilities are still open to sell, although we are not considering it at the time.” Hot to cold Even before the announcement by the News, the Courier began extensive changes in the paper’s format. Following two national trends, the Courier had earlier switched to an easier to read six column format, replacing the standard eight. Also, the paper has almost completed a two-year charge from “hot type” which involves stamping of hot steel for use in a metal printing plate, to “cold type” which is a more modern offset process usm'j instituting printing The News is currently in the midst of a considerably less gradual shift to cold type. to some News staff members and almost everyone at the Courier, the changeover has not gone smoothly. “Just look at their paper,” said Connors when asked to comment on the Newt handling of the switch to cold According ’ type. In what appears to be a direct response to the News' decision to print Sundays, the Courier has revamped its popular Sunday edition, adding more sections a - Television magazine (comparable to TV Guide) and a new cheery publisher's note at the top of the front page, bordered in breezy oranges and yellows and featuring a smiling sun under the heading “Good Morning.” Hometown loyalty The new Sunday format has been accompanied by an intensive promotional and advertising drive that hints at the keen rivalry between the two papers. In the strongly provincial and largely blue collar Buffalo area, the Courier is making the most of its community ties. A recent promotional flyer reads: The Courier-Express the local, only family-owned metropolitan newspaper - invites you to be our guest and enjoy this - FREE copy of the first issue of our Sunday TV Magazine. In a thinly veiled reference to the News’ heavier use of wire services, the Courier goes on to term itself; a newspaper that is broad based by a staff of local reporters and editors It does not contain great amounts of syndicated filler, easily available to any newspapers who are not dedicated to our total news ... concept. Circulation of the Courier which had been dropping for at least the past six years has picked up slightly since. Daily circulation is about 125,000 now, up 2,000 over 1976 and 3,000 over 1975. —continued on page 24— Heated controversy over IDs by John H. Reiss Managing Editor The already nebulous question of student participation in the approval of this year’s controversial ID card design was further clouded Wednesday when queries to both students and in administrators resulted contradictory reports. Administrators continued to insist that students ratified the final design of the card despite student officials’ protests that the ultimate decision was reached without their consent. Scott Peres, Lee a representative on last year’s ID card committee, claimed that he and Student Association (SA) officials Steve Schwartz and Steve Spiegel received a “rough draft” of the proposed card, which they approved. That card, according to Perez, contained “all the vital information one would assume would appear on an ID card,” including a computerized strip for library use, address, date of birth and signature. Perez said that he approved the draft upder the assumption that if the design were to be altered, he, or other student officials would be notified. “We got the card we wanted, and approved it,” Pern clrimed. “Then this crap came out. It’s just a different card. It’s we not the card simply approved.” ‘The best card possible’ What transpired between the time SA officials ratified the design and the time the final decision was made is apparently a mystery to all, including those who were present at the final meeting. Vice President for Housing, Student Accounts and Assistant Auxiliary Planning Len Snyder, and University Police Technical Assistant Charles Brunskill were at a loss to concur with, deny, or Peres’ claims. Both, explain however, emphatically maintained that students were involved with, and ir fact were an integral part of the ID decision-making process. “We sought out actively when participation student making the ID cards,” said Brunskill. “We didn’t say ‘this is our (the administration’s) card.’ We wanted the best card possible for students. We even went so far as to have people from the art school design the card. There were representatives from IRC present at the meetings. How much more student representation could you want?” Brunskill received a explained that he which, unlike draft Peres’, contained no address, date of birth, or library computer strip. He claimed the draft he was given included for space students’ said he signatures and was disappointed that the item did not appear on the card. “1 was upset that the signature was left off the card,” Brunskill said. All in agreement He contended that student officials concurred with the final design of the cards. “Before the proposal went to the President (University President Robert Ketter),” Brunskill said, “we were all in agreement.” Snyder claimed that students the meetings were present at all but “There admitted were different students at different times.” Snyder said all the issues were discussed with the students before the final recommendation was sent to Ketter. He claimed a memorandum containing the final ID card design was shown to a number of committee members, including Peres. Brunskill and Peres related conflicting stories concerning the scheduling ot ID Card Committee meetings. Peres maintained that University administrators scheduled the conferences at -continued on p*9« 23— �Same old The library system is preparing to vacate its existing facilities in anticipation of the eventual relocation to more elaborate quarters at the Amherst Campus. . 4' . This is a task which, according to Lockwood Head Librarian Madeline Stem, is terribly difficult, important and “a landmark in the history of the University.” Following the closing of the Ridge Lea and Bell libraries, the University now quintains twelve facilities. Of these twelve facilities “not one is in good shape,” said Director of Libraries Saktidas Roy. Referring to their fiscal well-being, he.said there has either been a cut back of services or a reduction in hours at each facility. System suffering The system, which now has a collection of 1,743,912 bound volumes and periodicals, is suffering, as it has in past years, from a series of budget cuts. Even though the enhancing of the library system has been a top priority of University President Robert Ketter, fiscal problems still exist. “The problems lie with the Division of Budget (DOB),” explained Roy. He emphasized that “DOB has been interferring too much and is concerned only with dollars, not books." As of the 1972 fiscal year, the University library system has not been granted at ‘substantial increase in funds. Since then, the average price of United states’ periodicals has increased by 41 percent and the average hard cover U.S. trade book price has risen a substantial 25 percent. The inflationary budget adjustments awarded to cover the rising cost have proven to be insufficient. The effects of the stagnating budget are far reaching. In the past seven years there have been three major cutbacks of journal subscriptions and, according to Roy, new book acquisitions have been carefully selected. He claimed, ‘There is an inadequate number of workers and therefore we have had to limit ourselves on what we want to do.” Reductions FREE IN CAR HEATERS hnl..' j*, v Library hours have also been reduced. For example, Lockwood Library originally was slated to be open for 105 hours per week, but has only served the campus community for 95 hours weekly. The Undergraduate Library (UGL) has also made cutbacks in service due to money shortages. The Interlibrary Loan System, from which materials for research may be borrowed or photocopied from sources outside the SUNY system, has been drastically reduced. The library system has not received enough gifts according to Roy. These gifts, given by foundations, businessmen, alumni, etc., have been limited due to a lack of staff members, which is essential to ensuring increasing donations. The most crippling of all cuts has been the loss of journals. According to Roy, “It is imperative that the libraries be able to restore this service.” He added, “Both the Health Sciences and Science and Engineering Library must update their periodical collection by restoring back journal issues lost due to cuts.” If this is not done, he said, “The Health Science and Engineering students will not be able to do proper research in their prospective fields of study.” 'One of the top fifty’ What is the total effect of the plagued library budget? Even though UGL Head Librarian Yoram Szekely called “this University’s system as definitely one of the top fifty in the nation” and Roy stated ‘The present system will survive,” Roy believes “a University of this size deserves better.” This can only be done, claimed Roy, “if DOB becomes more sensitive to our needs, and faculty and students show more interest in our struggle.” A library is an integral part of any University structure. If the present library system continues to deteriorate due to the enromous budget cuts that libraries have had to absorb, Roy said, “we’ll lose both valuable students anil faculty. We have not been able to complete our mission of providing resources to support the studies, instruction or research of students and staff at the University.” Research is a continuing process, and Roy said, “If we don’t continuously expand, and the materials are not available here, why should people stay here?” In the midst of these economic shortcomings, the University library system is searching for a new director. Roy feels that the new director will face numerous problems including those of staff cuts, material acquisition and campus shifting. “An individual with strong leadership qualities and dedication is needed to assume this task,” commented Roy. “There should be no internal problems caused by a change in Directors, since most of the moves are done by unit heads and the system is trying to maintain a form of continuity in appointing a new leader.” , „ Page two.

JCPenney Boulevard Mall �State regulations require bridges to be built over trout streams at construction sites to prevent mud and sludge from damaging the stream's environment. NFG claimed there are only two trout streams in the total twenty thousand acre construction area. FEDUP has illustrated a discrepancy concerning the definition of a trout stream. Ross Scott, a landowner in Alleghany County maintains that NFG construction will damage many trout streams and has proof that bridges are not being built to protect them. Evidence recovered Alleged illegal NFG storage construction by Paulette Buraczenski Campus Editor The briefcase containing important evidence to be used against the National Fuel Gas Company (NFG) in pending (FPC) Federal Power Commission has been recovered proceedings by its owner, law student Ross Scott. Scott received a phone call concerning the whereabouts of the briefcase from an Ellicott resident after an article describing the importance of the cases contents appeared on the front page of The Spectrum Monday. NFG has requested permission from FPC to construct and operate massive underground gas storage facilities in Alleghany County, N.Y. and Pottery County, Pennsylvania. The project, which will cost over $70 million and affect up to 20,000 acres of farm land, is being opposed by a group of landowners from the affected area who call themselves Fair Environmental Deals for United People (FEDUP). “FEDUP’s position is that an environmental statement is impact required,” according to Scott. Public must contest The National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 states, “Government agencies shall prepare an impact statement for every major federal action that significantly affects the quality of the human environment.” According to farmer members of FEDUP, Lester Hess and Arthur Roeske, an impact statement is necessary because access roads and pipelines will have a “serious impact on agriculture.” However, many agencies don’t prepare an impact statement “if they can get away with it,” Scott claims. He feels it is the duty of the public to contest any action which seriously harms the environment because “if no one contests, the agencies avoid preparing a statement.” State regulations mandate that access roads leading to and from the well sites should be no more than twelve feet in diameter. FEDUP claims that NFG has created access roads which “are up to fifty feet in diameter.” Moreover, well sites and rigs have been built in Alleghany and Potter Counties which are in direct violation of the law because FPC has not NFG’s request to begin approved construction. Charges NFG violations FPC has denied NFG the permission to begin construction of the storage facility pending a complaint by FEDUP. The complaint, on file with the FPC as of September 2, charges that NFG requested the commission to “dismiss the application because the commission lacked jurisdiction over its proposed activities because the activities were unrelated to development of the (storage facility) and were part of its “normal maintenance program.” However, FEDUP claims that the new construction was not part of the maintenance program and that it is actually part of the storage project. FEDUP also charges that NFG began the proposed construction on 13 well sites, constructed access roads, cleared well sites and commenced drilling activities without conducting environmental studies or complying with the environmental guidelines of the commission. The final decision as to whether or not NFG can pursue construction of the storage facility is pending consideration by FPC. According to an FPC attorney, David Huard, “NFG’s answer to FEDUFs complaint was hied Tuesday, and we haven’t had time to determine whether or not a hearing will be held.” Scott, who claims FPC is a hostile agency against FEDUP because of financial considerations, said, “FPC staff attorney, Jane Drennan, has indicated to me that a hearing will probably be in order within a week or two.” Scott claims that FPC doesn’t like to handle environmental impact statements because “it involves a great amount of time and money.” Mandates of the Environmental Policy Act of 1969 state that access roads leading to construction sites should measure no more than twelve feet across. The top photo illustrates an access road leading to a well site pictured in the distant background. According to Scott, this road it about fifty feet wide. The greater distance a road continues from the site, the shorter the width should be. The center photo portrays the same road about a mile from the site, but the width only decreases by about 10-20 fact. The bottom photo, picturing the actual site, shows NFG construction activity before permission for construction was granted from FPC. Scott also indicated that a typical well site should measure about 200 feet in diameter and that this site extends 200-300 feet in excess.

Married, a father of five sons, and a local taxicab driver, what makes this man so different from you and I? Would you agree that his candidacy for the office of U.S. President in 1976 would be a distinguishing factor? If so, then we must wonder why he ran and what he has experienced as a result of his candidacy for the nation’s highest office. The answer to these and other questions will provide insight into the man, the election system as it is today, and interestingly enough, the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) activity. When asked why he wanted to run for President, Reverend Jackson said, “1 felt it was time that the average person got into politics,” and get into politics he did. His platform was opposed to busing for the achievement of forced integration. He also took a stand against gun control, but countered by stating that he was for law and order. An audit of the internal Revenue Service (IRS), an examination of firms that discriminated against minorities but still took tax deductions, the institution of a federal loan program, and the securing of jobs for the poor were Jackson’s answers to the economic problems of the country. The requirement that you must be a lawyer for some governmental jobs is unconstitutional, according to Jackson. His intent was to change these practices.

Reverend Jackson was finished before he started. “Almost all states require a fee, and sometimes signatures, before the candidate’s name can be placed on the ballot,” stated Jackson. This procedure he claims, really boils down to a poll tax which bars poor people from seeking public office, and thus, is a violation of their civil rights. As a result. Reverend Jackson sought to run only in primaries in states which did not requite fees, such as Arizona. During this time, Rev. Jackson submitted an application for Federal Matching Funds. When the Federal Election Commission received his application, they informed Jackson that because an improper amount of his funds were in cash, he would not qualify. On April S, 1976 the file on the matter was transferred to the United States Attorney in Buffalo. This transfer was illegal, contended Jackson.

This nation has a tendency to take the news for granted. Without being heavily conscious of it, Americans fall into long lapses, assuming all the world is being printed or broadcast and all that's needed is to pick up a newspaper or pull a cabinet knob. We place a lot of faith in our media. Walter Cronkite remains the most trusted man in American. Since Watergate, journalists have become folk heroes of sorts and students are jamming journalism schools to hitch a ride with this new found valor. Getting and printing the news has gained an unnatural mystique. We see a danger in this. And we see an immediate danger in the threat to the Courier-Express being posed by the larger local paper, the Buffalo Evening News. This city needs competing dailies; any city does. It is, in the words of the News Managing Editor, “a blessing," and one we cannot afford to lose. Competition, for all its ruthlessness and commercialism, remains the watchdog for all journalists. The News and the Courier correct each other, argue with each other, beat on each other, but most importantly, enhance each other. They are better papers for it. When the direct competition between the two begins on Sunday, November 16, the reading public will realize an immediate improvement as the papers strive to outduel each other. I# the Courier goes under, the public will suffer an irrevocable loss. We can't urge Buffalo to support the Courier. All we can hope for is to point out the consequences if it doesn't. Cronkite himself once said. "The news is what I say it is," and he wasn't far off. So be careful, Buffalo. You are a city of Will Rogers. All you know is what you read in the papers.

When first glancing at the October 3 The Spectrum, we were appalled to find the New York Yankees logo staring us in the face. Upon reading the related front page article by John Reiss, we found no apparent correlation between the article and the University. We also feel that the article was very biased.

Sure, I’ll forget about all this when the Yankees take the field for the playoffs, but we might not be f as lucky next year if Rockefeller decides that the To the Editor. It was a pleasant surprise to see John Reiss’s New York Yankees story headlining the front page of The Spectrum. I’ve been a staunch Yankee supporter for years (living only a few miles from the Stadium back in the Bronx), and 1 can’t remember i summer where Yankee baseball hasn’t been the paramount issue for a good argument.

This University was supposed to be known for its radical politics, for the new generation of English professors and cpltists and for the old generation of engineers who wrote books and became administrators. But football? Yes, it is here, the new age. Well, not quite, but coming out to Rotary Field at 1:30 p.m. tomorrow to see the Buffalo Bulls play their first football game since 1970 means more than simply cheering on a collegiate sporting event. This isn't Ann Arbor. There will be no established superstars on the field tomorrow. The grunting and sweating and crunching to be heard will come from students who go to class, copy notes, fall asleep during lectures and complain about the location of the Amherst Campus, just as all the other intelligent people here do. In other words, this football team is a baby, a monster of sorts. Students, faculty and administrators should turn out en masse to witness the birth of that baby tomorrow. Births are always causes for celebration. Instead of settling down with the beer and reefer to watch national collegiate football on television, bring alt the action home. Bring it ail home. The Bulls might even win. Editor-in-Chief We were very disappointed upon reading Monday’s issue of The Spectrum. We expect to read about University-related news, and not about the New York Yankees. Granted, there are many Yankee fans at U.B., but The Spectrum is not the place for a two-page article about them. The front page should certainly be reserved for more relevant information concerning the University. 1 suggest that if Mr. Reiss wishes to continue to write about the'Yankees, he offer his services to other publications such as The New York Times or The Sporting News, not The Spectrum. Not only was this article a waste of valuable money money space but it was also a waste of directly provided to The Spectrum by our 7 October 1977 UUAB apology To the Editor; IIP apology to Kric Martens (Oct.

Many thanks to all who came, waited and made the show a success. Richard Salt us UUAB Music Committee Chairperson �UUAB mishandle To the Editor: UUAB activities are supported by mandatory student fees. Because of this, mismanagement is a particularly serious affair. Mismanagement coupled with rudeness is inexcusable. What makes these remarks necessary is the handling of the October 2 JeanLuc Ponty concert. 1. The concert was misadvertised as beginning at six pan., when in fact it was scheduled for eight, v 2. Although the concert was scheduled to begin at eight, the doors did not open until sometime between 8: IS and 8:30. It is impossible for us to tell exactly when as we had been standing behind a couple thousand othe; people since 7:30 in therain. 3. At approximately 8:50 we finally reached the door only to discover that the concert bad been started already. While .we were waiting (fuming} in the rain because the doors were opened late, we missed about IS minutes of music. This is inexcusable. It was inconsiderate of both ourselves and the others who had also been waiting. It is furthermore a failure to recognize the ticket is a contract. The buyer pays so much money in exchange for certain services (here music). The buyer has a legal right to the entirety of those servlets (presuming he/she arrives on time). 4. If all of this was not bad enough, people already inside were returning to the door complaining that there were no more places to sit. , .J The concert had been oversold. 5. We were fed up and asked to have our money bimk. We were toh) we had to wait for Stew Fish. Mr. Fish arrived, agreed to refund our money, took our tickets, and headed off God knows where. Since the scene at the door was semi-chaotic, I told Mr. Fish 1 would come with him to receive the money. At that point he got very upset and told us that we were never to come to another concert that “bur hind” were not wanted, and so on. Mr. Fish iga 1 . - JE&V-. ■. '• v?' ■ ■ Vr sad example of the old. ad ate that power corrupts. Fortunately he has only a little power and is only capable of making himaelf appear petty and foolish. Nonetheless, such people should not be managing mandatory student fees in any capacity. 6. It was fortunate that I did accompany Mr. Fish as it turned out that the man handling the money refused to give us our money back. Mr. Fish attempted to give me back our tickets, telling us to hawk them. 1 once more told him that we desired a refund god that he had agreed. If anyone was to hawk the tickets, he should. He was able to do this quite easily, as the man handling the money directed the next two ticket buyers to Mr. Fish. Mr. Fish then gave me the cash. We have no idea what happened to the two buyers who were soon to learn of the seating problem. 7. Rather than ending an unpfeasant incident at that point. Mr. Fish expounded at length on how we were never to buy tickets for another concert, bow it Was none of our business that the concert began before all the people waiting for over an hour in the rain had been able to enter the doors, etc. Mr. Fish then had a policeman escort us from the building. Mistakes happen. We do not mean to imply that the miaa<lvcrtisi|ig, the problem with the doors, and the premature, starting of the concert were intentional efforts to irritate anyone. Still, they are inconsiderate and can be easily avoided in the future by better planning and checking. On the other hand, Mr. Fish’s conduct cannot be excused. “Our kind” go to concerts for entertainment and enioyment. If UUAB’s breach of contract makes that impossible, then it is our business. Mr. Fish apparently has no idea of why people buy concert tickets. He clearly has no idea of what is required of those who would hold responsible positions in student activities. Philip Speser, Political Science Ann Hetwege, Economics *:■ i W5 acw wReopw Punk masses Tp the Editor: The steady decline in attendance of young people at Catholic masses over the last few years has been the cause of dismay to many prominent theologians. The problem here, which hasn’t been recognized by moat pillars of the Catholic faith is that “the times they are a-changin’,” in the words of one popular Jew. The late sixties marked the appeasement by thfe powers that be of the Bohemian faction through the institution of “folk masses.” My proposal, humble as it is, is that the church offer a modern counterpart |o account for. changes in attitudes and tastes. “Funk Masses” would provide a suitable direction for the church to take. This idea can easily be linked to the progressive concept of Saturday night masses which would allow for punk celebrants to experience “last call” at CBGB’s immediately before attending religious services. “The crowd ordinarily lost to Sunday afternoon hangovers would be considerably reduced, should that idea be instituted,” asserts Sister Patti Smith, a member of the Ramonian Order of Nuns.

TRANSIT RD. - 625 8631 WESTERN NEW YORK'S NUMBER ONE ROCK NITE CLUB! �UUAB concert Time andplace don't stop crowd's enjoyment of Ponty bassist I've seen since Stanley Clarke. Even his standard rhythm lines come alive. by Doug Alpern Spectrum Music Staff Not since Jean-Luc Ponty appeared at Mulligan's Night Club in 1974 hit tour itinerary included a Buffalo date. The response of the packed house at Clark Gym Sunday night proved not only that it was well worth the wait, but alto that Ponty is, indeed, . the number one fiddle. The atmosphere was saturated with rain, the gymnasium was dry with hect and smoke, and the concert was late in starting. So what else is new? An eight o'clock starting time, and, after a warm-up act and sardine-like seating arrangements, Ponty finally hit the stage at ten to ten. Par usual. Trying to forget the previous two hour waste, I anxiously awaited the newest edition of the JLP band. The lights glowed, the audience roared, and the performers began with a new piece, "The Trans Love Express" preceded by the "Overture" prelude. a new six piece band. Daryl Stuermer and Allan Zavod, on guitars and keytjpards respectively, are the only Ponty picks kept from trie last band. Ralphe Armstrong, a former Mahavishnu enlistee with Ponty,, bellowed out the funky bass, and a drummer and rhythm guitarist rounded out the band. Onstage was The second number, "Mirage," off the new disc. Enigmatic Ocean, contained a synthesizer solo by Zavod. A 17-minutes rendition of "The Struggle of the Turtle to the Sea," also off the new album, gave each member a solo spot. Particular applause was given to Ralphe Armstrong for his bass solo. Armstrong has a fine, funky sound, but not overpowering. He's probably the most promising Wandering voyages A pair of songs off Imaginary Voyage followed. "Wandering on the Milky Way," a ten-minute violin solo, was one of the highlights of the evening. Ponty put various pedals and special effects to use, and he commanded the audience throughout this amazing one man show. "The Gardens of Babylon" had an excellent Daryl Stuermer guitar spot. The final song, "Enigmatic Ocean," consisted of four distinct pieces. Ponty joined Zavod on keys at first, but then switched back to violin. Rapidfire licks from the guitars to Ponty to Zavod blazed with speed, yet each contained himself within the song structure. The crowd roared at the close, and Ponty was vocally dragged back twice for encores. The first, "New Country," off Imaginary Voyage, whipped the audience into a hoedown and hustle mood. It's not too often that fans dance to jazz. The final encore, "Fight for Life," was off the album where it all began. Upon the Wings ofMusic. Ponty's set lasted an ample hour and a half. In fact, if it had gone longer, my back surely would have broken from the "luxurious" floor seating arrangements. Ponty, with his rainbow of violins, cooked, but he never left his band behind. They all had the ability and could not be out-done. The crowd approved and UUAB had a success on its hands. In this Enigmatic Ocean of jazz-rock orchestras, Jean-Luc Ponty and company have, indeed, taken the Imaginary Voyage to the top, and are riding high Upon the Wings of Music. Ponty finds freedom in not being categorized by John Hunt Special to the Spectrum The following is a condensed version of an interviewconducted by John H. Hunt for the Buffalo Jazz Report and WBFO reprinted by permission of the Buffalo Jazz Report. The full interview, that includes a conversation regarding Frank Zappa and Ponty's use of electrified violins, can be found in the October issue of the Buffalo Jazz Report Jean-Luc Ponty's first Atlantic Recording as a leader had barely been in existence a week when he was booked into Mulligan's night club in Buffalo to a crowd of a couple of hundred people in 1975. In the two years since then things have changed greatly for the-34 year old violinist. He has won Downbeat magazine's critics' and readers' polls as the top jazz violinist and plays to sellout audiences in concert halls over the world. His recent Atlantic album Imaginary Voyage sold more than 200,000 copies and Ponty , returned to Buffalo with all of this success under his belt Sunday October 2 at 8 p.m. in Clark Gym. Ponty was born in the small Normandy town of Avranches in 1942 into a family where both mother and father were classically trained musicians. He began taking violin lessons at age five. At age 17 he was awarded first prize by the Conservatoire National Superieur and then spent three years with the Lamoureux Orchestra. While maintaining his classical lessons, the active Paris jazz scene attracted Ponty's attention and soon he was jamming regularly with jazz musicians on clarinet and violin. Those early jam sessions in Paris were the foundation which eventually led to association with Frank Zappa, Stephane John McLaughlin, Grappelli, Elton John and George Duke. In a recent interview with WBFO, he explained that despite his numerous collaborations with jazz musicians and winning jazz awards, he does not consider himself a jazz musician anymore. PONTY: I left the jazz world a few years ago, I always hated Chicago but once I really was a pure classical musician, then I was a pure jazz musician and I have suffered of that prejudice in the jazz world. The king instruments were the wind instruments like sax and trumpet and I was being considered to play an odd instrument. That's not the reason why I moved to jazz/rock but I had much more affinity with progressive rock musicians who were dealing with respect and curiosity with electric instruments. I was much more respected and admitted in their ranks than by jazz musicians. That kind of prejudice was always pretty stupid to me. That's why now I feel perfectly at ease because I'm in no category at all .. and I'm being accepted by more and more people. HUNT: How do you feel about consistently being at the top of the polls for jazz violin, then? PONTY; I am voted (highly) in . many polls and I don't attach too much attention to it. Maybe I will when I disappear from those polls (laughter). When people tell me, "Oh, you're again first this year in Downbeat." I would be a hypocrite to say I'm not flattered. It's great to hear you're first somewhere. What really pleases more is to see the and sometimes influence I have on younger violinists, musicians younger taking up the violin. Or when a keyboard player from a famous rock band comes to me and says,"You're violin playing me much inspiration and sound. It was pretty exotic and foreign to my own roots and it was lacking the structure and discipline of classical music. Sometimes rock musicians lack the skill and flexibility in improvisation that a jazz musician has. The ideal form of music for me was to incorporate the three forms. HUNT: Stephane Grappelli is also from France and you've done an album with him. He must have had somewhat of an influence on you. PONTY: Stephane has not really been a musical influence but he inspired my synthesizer playing," has been a very psychological inspiration for me because when I for instance, that's great. HUNT: What you seem to be became interested in jazz and I saying is that you'd like to started using the violin when I dispense with all labels. discovered that other violinists PONTY; As far as putting a label existed and had done that before. on it you'd have to put at least The most accessible to me in classical, jazz and rock.

Despite all the very respectable talent involved with this production, and some of the Studio's most recent artistic accomplishments. Sunset was quite disappointing. Sunset deals with a theme that is found in several other current dramas: a "modern" look at the world of show biz. This modern look is only a bit more hard edged and in-depth than the point of view of frothy backstage shows of the past, such as Forty-Second Street. The emphasis of the old shows was on understudies becoming stars, lavish night dubs and goldiggers getting sugar daddies. The new shows present the "universal" goals of the seventies; intense personal relationships, being mellow and the everpopular idea that show people are getting better sex and drugs than we mortals even dream of. What A Chorus Line did for dancers and New York, New York did for the big bands. Sunset attempts to do for the people in the Los Angeles recording game. Comic book image The play takes place on Sunset Strip, home of the gold album, platinum selling, hit-with-a-bullet-in-it music business. The characters that populate this world are a comic book image of therock industry. There is an ever-present producer with a voice like an AM radio disc jockey. Every sentence has three exclamation points, at least. Sunset City Sound Studios ("Oh, Mary," says the producer, "listen to those S'slll") has the biggest names of the rock industry in its stables. Randy Gold is this week's most colossal rock star in the history of the world. Crystal Newcomb is a tough little Linda Rondstadt-oid who boozes from a silver hip flask. Into this whirlwind steps Lila Haltiday. Lila is a middle-aged actress who played "war brides, WAC's, and waife on the run" in all those 1940's movie musicals and is now making a comeback. This homage to movies of the past is very characteristic of the new backstage musical. All the auditioning dancers of A Chorus Line wanted to be Fred Astaires and Ginger Rogers, while New York, New York set in the forties and fifties, is one huge glorious nostalgia trip. Love conquers all How does this star of bygone days who loved the magic of the old Hollywood fit in with the rock world? Not too well at first, since recording is a fast and furiods occupation. But she captures the heart of rock and roll, Randy Gold shows Crystal that there is no need for being tough when one can be nice. Love conquers all, and everybody acquires a born-again outlook on life. Vipee. The simplification of the script may sound silly, but it is in keeping with the utter ridiculousness of the play. Aside from the above, the play includes a romance consisting of Lila and Randy waltzing and a cocaine addiction with all the subtlety and accuracy.of Reefer Madness. The score, composed by Gary William Friedman with lyrics by Will Holt (the team that created the wonderful The Me Nobody Knows), could never begin to work for this play. There is no way that their music, best described as hard pop, could pass for rock, punk, or even the disco sounds that a major studio would produce today. One song. Retreat, sung by Jamie Bradbury, a character who was a folk-rock idol of the sixties, contains the lyrics; career. Due to the poor script, Lila Halliday is somewhat uninteresting, and Alexis Smith could net get beyond that hurdle. fm: All in all. Sunset is as offensive (or inoffensive) at a made-for-television movie that has a made-for-television score. Sunset runs at the Studio Arena through October 29. "I see violence red. / turn my head, see trouble black, I turn my back, see danger in the street, retreat. / " / / Aside from the negative artistic value those lyrics have, the philosophy presented in them is frightening. It is insulting to believe that this is the healthy attitude that saves the characters from ruin and despair. The Studio Arena Theatre, through the Student Association (SA), is selling season subscriptions to |his year's productions. $18.00 will buy tickets to all seven plays that the Studio wilt present this year. Productions include the debuts of three plays (Sunset Semmelweiss, a play by Howard Sackler, author of The Great White Hope, and Sherlock Holmes, A Further Adventure ), two of Broadway's current hits (Same Time. Next Year and the Pulitzer Prize Winning Shadow Box), a musical revival (George Gershwin's S"Wonderful, formerly entitled Funny Face), and a soon-to-be announced play that will open next spring in the new Studio Arena Theater. Besides seeing the plays for about $2.50 each, subscribers receive discounts at some of the better city restaurants, and are entitled to a generous ticket exchange policy. Students may purchase subscriptions at the Squire Hall Box Office vtftile they are still available. This will be an eventful season for the Studio. P.S. A friend of mine noticed that all of the plays by the Studio began with the letter S. As the announced record producers in Sunset said, "Oh, Mary Imaginative choregraphy While dealing with the show’s music, commendation must be given to the women who played the session singers. Any unashamed back-up singer freak, I am one, will appreciate their work. What makes the production bearable and gives it energy is the direction of Tommy Tune. This is Tune's second major directorial accomplishment, and like The Club, his first off-Broadway hit. Sunset has endless energy and imaginative choreographic work. The opening scene is a spectacular achievement. Tune makes the small cast seem like an army of singers and dancers ready to tear the roof down with their vocal chords and tapshoes. Regretably, Alexis Smith, a personal favorite of mine, did a satisfactory job as Lila Halliday. Satisfactory is regretable in this case, because Smith has done some dazzling stage and screen work during her illustrious — Boulevard Cinema Reiner takes on God; more serious than funny The cause of this confusion lies, I think, in the misguided intentions of the films creator, Carl Reiner.

Prodigal Sun �'As You Like It'is Stratford's best this season by Michael Wing Spectrum Arts Staff The two late-season productions of Shakespeare's great comedies. As You Like it and Much Ado About Nothing, at the Stratford (Ont.) Shakespeare Festival invite comparison. The former, directed by Robin Phillips and starring Maggie Smith, has been giyen a very distinct and in limiting some respects interpretation; while the latter, by Marigold directed Charlesworth and starring Alan Scarfe and Martha Henry, is presented more or less straight. Nevertheless, the As You Like It is first-rate and the Much Ado flat. Perhaps there is really no such thing as "doing Shakespeare < straight." In Much Ado, the production is competent in most respects, yet the play never fully comes to life. There is no guiding notion about what it is supposed to make the audience think and feel. Director Charlesworth seems simply to have handed the actors their parts and said "Go ahead." With an established ensemble, the actors might be able to develop an interpretation on their own. But the situation repertory at Stratford the competent- but A unimaginative production like this one blurs our vision of the play, as if we were seeing it though the wrong glasses. We see the general outlines, but the foreground has < no Crispness or clarity. Lacks spontaneity With so much dependent upon the actors, weaknesses become obvious. Most of the case, except for Paul Batten's embarassing Claudio, is quite adequate, with Alan Scarfe's Benedick clearly the stand-out performance. But SP Prodigal Sun prevents development of such an ensemble. Martha limitations, Henry's unfortunately, are fatal to her protrayal of Beatrice. She never really engages with other actors onstage or with the audience, always remaining controlled and self-absorbed (and apparently pained, no matter what role she is playing). When the part is right (e.g., Isabelle in Phillips' Measure for Measure or Lady Anne in Richard III), her standard routines can be very effective, but here they make no sense. One never for a moment feels that she is in love with Benedick, and her witty banter completely lacks spontaneity. The lines about how merry Beatrice is are wasted; we have never seen the character they describe. Her self-containment throws scenes askew, keeps them from clicking. At the end, when Beatrice and Benedick are engaging in their final battle of wit, Martha Henry hardly even looks at Alan Scarfe; she looks instead at Benedick's unimportant letter. Anything to avoid direct engagement. In contrast, Maggie Smith's performance as Rosalind in /4s You Like It is the most convincing stage presentation of being in love I have ever seen. She is even better than I had expected her to be, and she seemed in advance an ideal Rosalind. She could have gotten away with playing this part on style alone. The high ironic detachment she has perfected as an acting technique fits splendidly most of Rosalind's behavior when disguised as “Ganymede." But, intead of falling back on her acting tools, on routines she could do in her sleep, Maggie Smith has gotten inside the character, has thought through Rosalind's inner life so completely that here (Smith's) patented double-takes of aesthetic shock are hardly necessary. This role presented must have a considerable temptation to her, knowing as she must that she could produce a laugh on virtually every line, and get nothing but accolades for doing so. Instead, she attempts something far more difficult and pulls it off appearance and tone, suggests so much as Watteau’s famous painting “Pilgrimage to Cythera," with its distancing, its pastoral, civilized and its sentiment. In this vision of the play, love is somewhat more fragile than it is in Shakespeare. Rosalind's direct expressions to Celia (Domini Blythe) of her feelings for Orlando (Jack Wetherall) are less outbursts of energy than surrenders to a tide of emotion: longing tinged with melancholy. brilliantly. Similarly, her raillery against love in the great wooing-scenes, which Man of leisure seem in the original to be The production as a whole paradoxically strongest her sacrifices some the play's comic declarations of love, here seem to energy, presents but an reflect a deep-seated fatalism interpretation of considerable about love's permanence.

The imagine these speeches delivered setting is 18th century, and this with considerable comic energy, conception involves more than the expressing Rosalind's absolute costumes.

Page thirteen �HANGING LOOSE 29 —continued from page 13— • therefore, some extant, to sentimentalized. Shakespeare's love is heartier. This production, however, is very sexy. Love is tied to gender more specifically than in the original, where love transcends alt defining to be categories, expressed as a pure creative energy, available to theater audiences and romantic lovers alike. This was accomplished primarily by Rosalind's disguise as a boy. a metadramatic reminder thgt "Rosalind," in the Elizabethan theater, was in fact played by a boy actor. Love was thus detached from gender, rendered simultaneously more abstract and, in terms of the actual theatrical situation, more concrete. With the disappearance • • of those stage conventions, the play loses some of its sexual and theatrical complexity immediacy. The result, as in the Stratford production, is a more specific and even titilating presentation of male-female sexuality, The chief an only important sacrifice of Phillips' interpretation is Touchstone, and the fault here may lie with actor Barnard Hopkins. He presents Touchstone as a foppish courtly wit. as much the oject of mockery as the deliverer of mocks. His mechanical, verbal wit is something he can use at wHI but which remains self-contained, Touchstone is Shakespeare’s always irdhically detached from whatever he says and does. This — - Touchstone himself takes seriously. The decorous 18th century world of this production is perhaps too limited to accommodate a freely-ranging Shakespearean fool. Harmonious society The quality of the acting is very high, as in all of Phillips' set is single work. The extraordinarily beautiful: a large gnarled tree stage right, which bends back and left to fill the central entranceway with a profusion of foliage. And as usual with Phillips, the pacing, blocking and general use of the stage-space are efficient and vital. Maggie Smith delivers the Epilogue while standing in the midst of the assembled celebrants, after the closing dance (rather than doing so alone onstage). This reduces our sense of having a special relationship with Rosalind, emphasizes the communal aspects of the play. Throughout the performance, in fact, the lines and ideas which might break out of the civilized community of Arden and into the present theatrical event are played down. What this production of As You Like It creates and it does so very well indeed is that final harmonious society. And Rosalind remains within it, not apart, not in the theater with us. That is a reduction of the play Shakespeare wrote. But it results from an intelligent probing of the play's meaning, an interpretation that lights up much that is essential in this great comedy. Robin Phillips has never been timid with Shakespeare in his three years at Stratford. The remarkable thing is the extent to which his innovations have done full justice to the plays. He does not force superficial, trendy ideas onto Shakespeare, as many directors do, but neither does he relinquish his responsibility to as interpret, Marigold Charlesworth has done. If tltis As You Like it is not so complete a vision of the play as was last year's Midsummer Night's Dream, it is still the best of this summer's offerings, and a credit to everyone involved, especially Robin Phillips and Maggie Smith. Performances of 4s You Like It thought October 14 and Much Ado About Nothing through October IS, both at the Festival Theatre. Hanging Loom' Poetry magazine irrelevant to life Hanging Loose is among the most well-established poetry magazines in Western New York. Over the years, it has abandoned the unbound format for which it was originally named and hat gradually improved in quality. The magazine is largely devoted to discovering new poets. Operating with a large editorial staff, it it able to give unsolicited manuscripts close attention. When the editors discover a poet whom they like, they publish him repeatedly. There is a special section on high school poetry. Most of the poetry in Hanging Loose is written in a conversational manner, with rhythms and a vocabulary very close to those of speech. While I appreciate the friendly tone and admire the attempt to make poetry more accessible, I feel this style has its limitations. There is a basic timidness and so much fear of sounding pompous that it is hard to say anything very important. There is so much fear of dogmatism that few definite conclusions are drawn. The poems communicate experience but do not really interpret it. The magazine contains some lovely poems, but it is not a sort of poetry that can help us in our lives. -Boris Sax — — J.B.

OLD RED MILL INN * Clarane*. H.Y. 14221 Prodigal Sun �Records to choose ii you re into the blues by Ron Weinstock Spectrum Music Staff This will be the first in a series lists of blues records that would provide the foundation of a good blues library. In this list, I will be focusing on the classic Chicago blues. Generally, this refers to a style of blues prevalent m the fifties. The use of amplified harmonica and slide guitar characterize much of this music which is heavily infused with the Mississippi Delta rural blues. of Muddy Waters (Chess) Howlin' Wolf (Chets) Sonny Boy Williamson (Chess) Little Walter (Chess) These four albums were issued last year by All, Platinum Records of New Jersey who now own the Chess catalog. I believe they have been deleted but should be readily available in cutout bins. They contain many of the classics of the style. The Muddy Waters disc makes all of his recordings of the past ten years sound weak. Listen to how strong he sipgs and plays slide guitar and compare to the album he did with Johnny Winter. The Wolf howls and Hubert Sumlin plays some great guitar. Little Walter simply shaped the course of the harmonica by cupping it 1 over a microphone and thereby amplifying it. His set contains some classics as does the album by Rice Miller, the second artist to record as Sonny Boy Williamson. Miller was a wry lyricist and singer and virtuoso harmonica player who showed a better sense of timing and shading than Walter, if lacking Walter's incredible saxophone like tone. Genesis (Chets English Import) This is a series of four album boxes with beautiful booklets included. If you can find them, they would be rated over the - American issues as they include a wide variety of artists. Besides, those listed above, Elmore James, Jimmy Rogers, and Robert Nighthawk are featured. Some sides not available anywhere else are included. Genesis 3 Sweet Home Chicago is especially recommended with great sides by Muddy, including him singing "Smokestack Lightning" and "Little Walter." The Jimmy Rogers sides on Vol. 1 and 3 give a sense, better than does Muddy, of just how good Muddy's band was in the early fifties. Sonny Boy Williamson (Blues Classics) Vol. 1 John Lee Wiliamson recorded before the second World War. A very influential and singer songwriter, Williamson's recordings best anticipate the music of Muddy, the Wolf, and others. He was also the first major harmonica player in the modern blues and used it to fill between vocal lines and also solo. His popularity led Rice Miller to adopt his name. These three albums present a good crossection of his work from early recordings that were very country ish in flavor to band blues including guitar, piano, and amplified drums. Elmore James (Trip) Elmore is perhaps even more famous than Muddy Waters as a slide guitarist. Playing in both fast and slow tempos, he sang with a highly impassioned voice which made good use of various vocal techniques. Double album sets on Trip provide some nice samples of mostly later recordings. Two albums on Kent (also United) include his earlier recordings including a tough band of Little Johnny Jones on piano and J.T. Brown on sax. Combining jump mging. The Eddie aylor , are simply classic Chicago blues with rocking band and Eddie's wonderfully relaxed vocals. , harp, showing why is up there with the two Sonny Boys and Little Walter. The man is the blues harmonica player around and can cut with ease any of the hot shot rock greatest Jimmy Reed Check the cutout bins for reissues of Jimmy Reed's sides for Vee-Jay. Playing a rudimentary guitar he harp and boogie managed to create some very popular music and one that few have really been able to duplicate with any real success despite the apparent simplicity of it. Tunes like "Big Boss Man," "Honest I Do," "Baby What Do You Want Me To Do," and "Going to New York" are his and have been done by the Stones, Blues Project, Elvis, and coutless others. Chicago the Blues Today, Vol. 1 3 (Vanguard) This set of three albums separately) ■*. was (available recorded by Samuel Charters in an attempt to document the bands that played on Chicago's West and South sides. Vok 1 features some good recordings by Junior Wells and Otis Spann. J.B. Hutto's five highlights. Raw, sides are primitive Elmore James style blues with blistering slide and vocals. 'Too Much Alcohol" is too much. Vol. 2 features good sides by James Cotton, Otis Rush, and Homesick James. Johnny Young and Johnny Shines are featured on Vol. 3 doing much traditionally based material. Big Walter Horton accompanies on most tracks with some excellent - living players. Matters of Modern Blues Vol. 1 Johnny Shines Vol. 2 J.B. Hutto Vol. 3 Eddie Taylor-Floyd Jones Vol. 4 Robert Nighthawk and Houston Stackhouse (Testament) These sides were recorded by Pete Welding for much the same purpose as Charters did the Vanguard series: to document the blues band tradition. The Shines album features him in a variety of settings and shows him to be Robert Johnson's best disciple (over Muddy or Elmore). The Hutto features a variety of Chicago style blues with both slide and standard guitar from Hutto. His raw vocals are very much in evidence as is Big Walter's magnificent harmonica.’1 Volume three features a side each from Taylor and Jones, both doing traditional material with more fine Big Walter harmonica. Robert Nighthawk is the featured artist on Vol. 4 and the sides featuring his use of slide guitar are brilliant demonstrations of his skills. Nighthawk combined a clean tone with that while Muddy was not making very many good recordings during the sixties (due mostly to production ideas of Chess Mitch tried to psychedelize Muddy) his band did a number of albums, of which this was one, that were quite good. The two Johnny Young albums are solid Chicago blues with Spann, Cotton and rhythm join Young on the first album. Half are nice band sides. The other half features duets of Young on mandolin and Spann on piano. The Young album with Big Walter features great harp playing as well as a great band including Jimmy Dawkins on lead guitar and Lafayette Leake on piano. Junior Walls, Hoodoo Man Blues (Del mark); Blues Hit Big Town (Del mark) Hoodoo Man was one of the first blues albums recorded as an album and not merely a collection of singles. With Buddy Guy on guitar it is perhaps Junior's best album with great harp and strong vocals and tight handwork. Blues Hit Big Town should be out soon and includes his first recording for the small States label. With such persons as Muddy Waters, Elmd|e James, and the Aces as his sessionmen. Junior produced touch, rocking some srdet. Junior's other Delmark records are worth checking out also. imaginative ideas to create slide solos that went beyond a few bars. Houston Stackhouse sings amplified versions of Tommy Johnson tunes. The sound on these, especially the first three, is unfortuneately muddled. Otis Spann, The Blues Never Oie (Prestige) Johnny Young, His Chicago Blues Band (Arhoolie) Johnny Young and Big Walter, Chicago Blues (Arhoolie) Otis Spann was for many years Waters' pianist and these sixties sides reco'cied with Muddy's band included some harmonica from good James Cotton and solid band work from the Waters band as Otis leads the band through some v.ry nice blurs. Cotton shares some of the vocal honors here. It is interesting Hound Dog Taylor, and the Houserockers (Alligator,, Natural Boogie (Alligator). Bewjrd of the Dog (Alligator) Like J.B. Hutto, Hound Dog played in the style of Elmore James. These three albums feature lots of slide guitar boogies and Hound Dog iroves that the blues can cure what ails you. The last album is a live recording which demonstrates hr, personality, but the other two albums capture his live sound ve iv well.

When lesser-selling albums an artist moves to another label, chances are a few or below in the $2.99 to go label down will original his on the of bargain bin. An example of this it James Taylor's switch from Warner Brothers to Columbia, which set hit On* Man Dog and Walking Man to be re-released at cheapies. The most common method for a record to make the cutout stands ("cutout" for the little hole punched in the corner of the cover) is its failure to sell well enough when originally released. of the background scoop. There are some damned good records in the cutout bins. Low prices do not necessarily indicate poor sound quality. Most of them are still well preserved within their jackets. The following are some highly recommended albums you should check out which are well worth their ankle-high prices: Marvin Gaye; Primarily an instrumental Trouble Man soundtrack, this is like no other film soundtrack and can almost be classified as a jazz record. With the addition of a few marvelous vocal cuts by Qaye (including the frightening title song), each track smoothly runs into each other, highlighted by streaming orchestration and funky saxophone leads by Trevor Lawrence. Romantic and soulful. Nice The Nice: This was the band which originally boasted Keith Emerson as a keyboardist. Not too far away from Emerson, Lake, and Palmer, The Nice experimented a lot with arrangements and were more classically oriented. This Nice album, my favorite, contains a gorgeous version of Tim Hardin's Hang Onto a Dream. Frier,ds Elton John: The Everyman's Cutout Album. This film soundtrack comes from Elton's simply moving earlier days. There are a few instrumentals stuck in for good measure, and it's all lushly arranged by Paul Buckmaster. 10CC; Two superb The Original Soundtrack: How Dare You albums by one of the most creatively brilliant acts around. Clever, humorous lyrics, matched with faultless pop melodies combined with complex technical highlights. The former contains the million-seller "I'm Not in Love" and the latter contains the wonderful airline stewardess paean, "I'm Mandy, Fly Me." You can't pass these two by. Nightmares (and Other Tales From the Vinyl Jungle) the J. Ceils Band: Rocks-off R & B thunder which should be played at the level at which jet planes take off. J. Ceils has been around a good, long time and this is just one of the few worthwhile budget records of theirs. This band never leaves you sitting down, as with the curtain-closer, "Gettin' Out," an amazing skyrocket of a song. Above are only some of the many cheapies that are available for the student with the Financial Blues. There are others by Genesis, The Who, The Edgar Winter Group, Roxy Music, and Ten Years After which are just as worthwhile as those previously mentioned. This should encourage some people to investigate these low-priced bargains as a way out from the expensive record. Budget records can definitely surprise you if you'd drop your blocs and buy one.

" Prodigal Sun �Rolling Stones, Love You Live (Atlantic) RECORDS Steely Dan, Aja (ABC) It comes with great difficulty to review the new Steely Dan record. It's similar to the phenomenon of failure to describe your best friend because you know him/her so well, I played Aja once and I didn't want to put anything else on my turntable for the rest of the day. Steely Dan is a hard act to follow. accompaniments I have heard on record. Each song on a Dan record is a mini-scenario, often of sleazy characters and morals gone off the straight track. Aja continues the tradition, but not as bleak-visioned as on the last. The Royal Scam. Among the Becker/Fagen lineup is a downtrodden, pushed-out-of-love drunkard ("Black Cow"), an egotistical jet-setter, who ironically parallels the character of "Black Cow" (Deacon Blues"), a hippity-hop ode to a struggling and optimistic actress ("Peg") and a strangely perverse, slick tune of seduction ("I Got the News"). Denouement arrives with the high-swinging antics of "Josie", which could be the Steely Dan version of a Springsteen Jersey landscape. Reminiscent of "Rose Darling", which has its romantic, reptillian references, Josie is apparently the Fox with the Box returning home and the boys singing their praises with crooked humor: Beginning as a solid six-man band, Dan has been reduced to the songwriters, bassist Walter Becker and keyboard man Donald Fagen, accompanied by a gaggle of the most accomplished studio musicians around. While these other players perform on many an artist's recording gigs, Becker and Fagen have always been able to push them to more extraordinary sessions, to the level of mystical transformation. The Dan have made each album a logical progression from previous ones. Aj 'a is a extension of the jazz flurries found in Katy Lied combined with the rhythmic funk of The Royal Scam. The cuts, especially on side cne, are quite long (one as long as We're gonna park in the street. eight minutes), leaving room for the band to "stretch Sleep on the beach and make it, out". There are more jazz-rooted musicians on Aja Throw down the jam till the girls say when, than any previous Dan release. Lay down the law and break it. Becker and Fagen employed the often-admired When Josie comes home. talents of Tom Scott to arrange, conduct and perform Opening up Aja, one will read the first Steely with the horn session, a salient characteristic of Becker/Fagen product. Sax solos Dan liner notes since the debut Can't Buy a Thrill. Honestly, they could have been left out. The first set dominate over earlier Dan albums, naturally. While it is virtually pointless to go over each of notes, written by music critic Michael Phalen, song in depth (for then I should be writing their liner sound more like a detailed outtake from Stereo notes). I'll revel about some of the peaks of Review. The notes are closed by Steve Diener, President of ABC Records, and they are more suited perfection which Steely Dan make almost a routine ritual. One of the unexpected traits found on "Aja" for a promotional kit than an inner cover for such a is the appearance of saxist Wayne Shorter, sidekick prestigious group. Try to debate what the shady cover is all about, of Herbie Hancock and part of Weather Report. He soars into the title cut in the midst of an as well as the mystery of the title of the album itself Oriental-tinged instrumental break. If that isn't (is it "Asia," as pronounced in the song, or the enough for one song (a warped Steely Dan tour double-entendre "aha?"). I say, "Who cares?"

Oh, that's live in Paris; maybe I'd squint a bit but melt, never. Will dagger O.D. on geritol before he gets into something different? Love You Live is similar to the eighth Thai joint; sure it's good but is it ready neccessary? For Stones freaks the latest disc is always neccessary but for the more hesitant (Better educated?) consumer, it just doesn't make it. How many more times are we gonna hear "Jumping Jack Flash"? Between the Brothers Winter and that puke throated Frampton, they're shovin this song up our asses. The same goes for "Sympathy For the Devil." We've all seen Gimme Shelter so let's leave it at that. Too bad the Stones don't. Instead we get a wishy washy love it or leave it "Get off my Cloud". At least there is a difference in this arrangement. Mick says the hell with the last verses and lets the boys mope right through. At this point I guess the line got to.Keefs head cause the guitar work gets better and better. "Hot Stuff" is just what it says. "Star Star" ("Starfucker" to everyone but the censor board) ends the side with Billy Preston getting fatter and fatter until he bursts onto your platter. But wait, side two sags from the start. 'Tumbling Dice" and "Fingerprint File" don't have the balls they had in the studio. The bonus is that dagger's lyrics are comprehensible if you are into triteness. The lugubrium seeps on out with "You gotta move" and "You Can't Always Get What You Want". This does bore me! But wait again . . . The El Macomba Club in Toronto was the place the night the Stones laid down the third side. "Mannish Boy" i* only the tune that gets Mick's bulge up but really it's "I'm a Man" that tricks Micky into thinking he has Yardbirds backing him up. This side is the panacea; without it Love You Live is "totally" bogus. "Crackin Up" has the same riffs as Wings (nee Micki and Sylvis) "Love is Strange" except they're twice as crisp. I think it might be the percussion section or is it Mick going "chucka chucka boom". "Little Red Rooster" is a true seditive, everyone is more interested in Mick's comments on the sexuality of the other Stones (Ronnie Wood is accused of being gay, groupies take note.) The El Macombo madness ends with the played out "Around and Around" but still this rendition is the tour de force. Better than any other. Bill Deal and the Rondells to be included ■ V ■' .

And remember: we're talking about rock and roll protected by a little raunch. No vogue Moog, outta space allowed. Open your eyes: Cheap Trick is no new comer to the rollin thunder; many nights have reeked havoc and then shriveled AH throughout the Chicago area. The influences are evident; let us not forget that Paris and London also adopted them as artists in residence. The combination of atmospheric experiences led to a disc for Epic. Penned simply Cheap Trick, Cheap Trick, Cheap Trick, it proved a tasteful gem that synthesized anglometallic neurosis with milk and cookie harmonies. "Ballad of TV Violence" and "Taxman, Mr, Thief" will remain fixtures in the annals of classic pop. With the genetic urge of rock and roll, filtering from germ to germ, gew gaw to gewgaw, Cheap Trick proved that the next thing to emerge from the b*ues capitol wasn't it would still going to be another sob story, be the truth. Prodigal Sun Hot on the hee(s of an American tour is the release of In Color, the group's latest power surge, but as the appellation might suggest the record does not confuse pastel rainbows for palatability it devastates in a deceitful pallor of light humour. And In Color perpetuates the American vitality of 45 air waves with nunchuka precision in neat, neat, neat songs like "Southern Girls" and "Clock Strikes Ten". You want a soft shoulder? "I Want You To Want Me" evokes the perfect love seat for John Zander's appealing love, drunk arrows.

Stephens was still playing the music of his age, the jez* of the late thirties, early forties which was the swing period. That's still the style he plays but what's fantastic is that he has so much fire and honesty and being so faithful to his own personality. I have seen alot of older musicians trying to adapt to changing times and failing and losing their personality because of that. Stephane is a great example for all the young musicians in theat respect. He is a true artist and has been recognized as such by the greatest musicians I've known in the jazz or classical world. Even in the rock world, a group like Pink Floyd calls him to record with them. It's amazing to see how recognized he is by all kinds of musicians. All this to say, Grappelli told me to go on that I had something special and that he never heard anybody use the violin like me in jazz. Which was fantastic because at the same time ha could have treated me as a competitor. To encourage me to go on proved how much of a true artist he is. HUNT:; Do purists in either jazz or classical criticize you for your - ur« of electronics? PONTY: Not too much because not too many classical violinists come to see me. Interestingly enough, its mostly in the States that I see young classical players violinists or cellists or string players being in general interested by what I am doing. It's great because I don't see that very often other countries. in Nevertheless some of those young people say, "Why don't you play more of the acoustic violin?" I know where they're coming from because I had to go through the same prejudice myself. When I started being interested in jazz and I heard that Stuff Smith, a black American, had used an electric violin and at least was amplifying his violin and my first reaction when I heard this was, "Oh vtfiat is this? Putting a pick-up on a violin?" When I first started playing jazz I realized I couldn't fight the volume of drums without amplification. I realized I had to buy an amplifier myself and put on a pick-up if I wanted to be heard. But I found the sound was realty ugly and different from a classical violin. So rather than trying to reproduce — - Pag# eighteen The Spectrum Friday, 7 October 1977 . . 'titSflr' faithfully a real, pure violin sound I got the idea of violin and just pioneering and trying to find an electric sound on the violin. HUNT: Other than Grappelli and Smith there were few other models for you to follow for jazz violin. When you first heard jazz as a young violinist what made you decide to play that form of music? PONTY: It happened by accident. I started playing jazz on clarinet which was my third instrument. jamming One was I day somewhere and didn't have my clarinet with me. All I had was my violin so I took my violin and jammed amd musicians came to me and asked me where I came from and how I came to jazz with a violin. I said, "I'm a classical violinist but I play jazz on the clarinet and picked up my violin tonight." They said,"But nobody uses the violin like that. There are but I've violinists playing never heard anybody like you." Out of curiousity I tried to buy any album* by any jazz violinist I could find. I couldn't find many especially in Paris. I realized nobody was using the violin in a contemporary jazz style which was bebop, you knowiles Davis and that kind of musician.

This is an unlikely couple, and this apparent mismatch may in itself hold some of our attraction for them.

Pressure, in the form of racial prejudice, is a pervasive factor in their lives from the beginning of their relationship. Although it is no new thing to Ali, being shunned by neighbors and storekeepers shakes Emmi’s faith. Her three children (she was a widow Ali), before marrying consider her actions disgraceful.

IDs... —continued from page 1— Rah-rahing it after 7 years: the return of cheerleaders by Diane LaVaifee Staff Writer Spectrum I love cheerleaders, they show a lot of flesh. Many males on this campus are awaiting the debut of the cheerleaders this Saturday at the Bulls first football game since 1970. The squad has started up again through the efforts of Cindy Meyer, a junior here, who had to quit cheerleading because of a heavy workload in the nursing program. The task of organizing the squad has fallen on the shoulders of freshmen Doreen Grzankowski and Gloria Beauen. Try-outs were held with approximately twenty-five wolnen showing up. Eight cheerleaders and two alternates were chosen after being judged mostly on appearance, voice and pep, and partly on ability to do splits, cartwheels, jumps and originality of presentation. Since then, there have been only a few practices, “whenever ten girls are not in classes or working; hopefully, two to three times a week,” as Doreen put it. These first practices have been rather difficult. Ten different cheerleaders tend to have ten different styles and Doreen said, “Everyone favors their own kind of cheering.” Saturday’s game is their first chance to be a united cheering squad, with one distinctive style. Let’s go Buffalo* Differences within the team, however, arc only a minor problem. There are more serious obstacles confronting the cheerleaders, the first of which is their budget. The cheerleaders receive two hundred dollars from Student Mandatory Fees. At the present, the women are wearing seven-year-old, unmatching uniforms left over from the last cheerleading squad in 1970. Two hundred dollars is only enough money to buy new skirts. The “UB” letters cost ten dollars each. Also needed are more megaphones, pom-poms, raincoats and sweaters. To try to meet these expenses, the cheerleaders will be selling blue and gold “Let’s Go Buffalo” buttons which will be sold at the game for fifty cents. Another problem facing the cheerleaders is the common stereotype associated with their profession. Doreen noted, “Movies like The Pom-pom Girls’ and The Cheerleaders’ don’t help anything.” General student response to cheerleaders can be broken down into three groups. First are typical male responses, such as, “They’re very cute, I like it when they jump up and down,” and “I like them, especially with the little pom-poms on their shoes.” Two of the football players replied, “Give us their names and phone numbers and we’ll tell you what we think about them.” The second group were the female responses. These included, “In general, people resent them. They feel like they’re just doing it to get in good with the football players. I’ve never met a cheerleader I like” and “I think they should have guy-cheerleaders at all female athletic events.” One girl who was a cheerleader in high school said there was “no purpose for them in college.” Most females had mixed feelings. They felt it was good if the cheerleaders could invoke crowd enthusiasm but felt very negatively about the general stereotypes of cheerleaders. “Rah, rah, rah,” one said sarcastically. ■ ’ times that were inconvenient to students, yet refused to alter those times. “At first we weren’t notified about even the meetings,” Peres said. “When they finally did tell us, they were at bad times for us. We asked them to change them and were told that would be too much trouble.” Brunskill vehemently denied maintaining just this, the oppositer “The meetings were altered so that they would be at the convenience of everybody. We simply could not get students to attend them.” Partly functional When asked whether he felt the present cards were functional, not placed on the card because that information is supplied by students, and therefore cannot be the officially recognized by University. If new ID cards are to be issued and the date of birth is to appear on them, that the machinery to provide a valid date of birth will have to be developed. “We are part of the community and therefore have a responsibility to it to provide a responsible date,” Brunskill said. Snyder called the date of birth an irrelevant piece of information “unless it is controlled. If it is not accurate and validated, it will not be of any significance. 1 will insist that the proof of age be done in a controlled manner. What has the in happened past 'is Snyder claimed, “They are not as functional as they should be. You unacceptable.” they Snyder claimed that Sheriffs could say are partly functional. They do identify the Cards, driver’s licenses and birth student as a member of the certificates are acceptable University and we’re here to serve documents and hinted that perhaps students’ presentation of the University.” Brunskill was even less pleased any of these certificates when with the cards saying, “They arc receiving University ID’s could obviously acceptable to justify the printing of the date of not students right now. We have to birth on the cards. He did not re-evaluate the cards and must get know what methods other the date of birth on them.” Universities employed in order to Brunskill echoed other validate birthdates and said no University administrators’ claims such investigation is currently that students’ date of birth was underway. Then there were atypical responses. One male said, “You’d think college students could find more serious pursuits.” Another student response was, “They help spark a team, but it’s nice to know they’re doing something they like to do.” Several female students had very positive reactions, too. “Cheerleaders give a little color and spirit to the game. They add to things, just like marching bands at half-time.” On top of all this ambivalence, the cheerleaders themselves do not feel they have practiced adequately for Saturday’s game. Both Gloria and Doreen feel that they aren’t very prepared, explaining, ’There just hasn’t been enough time.” the plantparlour SPECIAL SALE ON PLANTS - (In 6” Pots) IA 6” SELLOUM PIBLODENDRON 6” RUBBER TREE NOW ONLY $3.99 CASH A CARRY - All Regtriariy $8 00 - Hurry Quantities Limited ALSO- Take the “Indoor Horticulture Course” Just $6.00 plus tax for better care of your plants. ‘Psych the players’ Available at the following locations; 3236 Main Street Thursday 7 8 pm Oct. 20. 27 Nov. 3, 10 (across from U.B.) and he Clarence Mall (Main * Transit; Fridays 7 8 pm Oqg. 1.14. 21 Despite adversities, the cheerleaders seem as determined as ever. According to Dan Daniels, business manager of the Sports Department, “Cheerleaders are as much a part of the game as anything. They’re very enthusiastic." Gloria said, “Our attitudes are positive. We’re cheering not for the fans, but for the team.’ 1 Doreen felt their main concern is wanting the team to know “we’re behind them.” Bemie McKeever. one of the co-captains of the Bulls team, said he definitely appreciates the cheerleaders being there. He felt that the cheering was more for the fans. ’The fans in turn psych the players. The cheerleaders themselves can be yelling and getting us psyched, but if they can get the fans yelling, that’s ten thousand, not ten. They definitely do the team and the school a service.” Being a cheerleader is not always a cheery thought, but the girls deserve credit for their energy and initiative. Most are freshmen and still face the usual problems of adapting |o college life. Five of the girls are commuters, and almost all have outside jobs. Yet they are still motivated to run back and forth to Main Street campus, spending hours practicing for the “big game,” And that is something to cheer about - - AM/FM/TVAMBHMVIVftCOMCYMOUOlVI UNIVERSITY PHOTO FALL HOURS UVf ON STAGS AT SHU’S BUFFALO INtATRI tMlT.WI Tues., Wed., Thurs.: 10 am.—3 pm No appointment necessary. $3.95 3 photos 4 photos $4.50 each additional with $.50 original order $2 Re-order rates: 3 photos $.50 each additional — ICT NM - — — — University Photo 365 Squire Hall, MSC 831-5410 All photos available for pick-up on Friday of weak taken.

The Reverend has done both. ym:i,. n * « ., TV ca*Mjl|> The News enjoys a 1 to 1 advantage over its competitor in . What follows is a detailed explanation of the harassment Jackson daims he received, and is still receiving to this day. The event* are numerous but Reverend Jackson believes that all are perpetrated by or financed by the FBI. In April, 1976, the FBI hired about 300 white informers and in the following month hired about 200 Macks from certain black civil rfehts organizations (names withheld upon request of Jackson). These informers and others were and still are equipped with two-way radios used to communicate over the old police band. Public and business vehicles including independent cabs, delivery trucks, and tow trucks, have been used in the surveillance of Reverend Jackson. Vehicles of ttis nature contain radios, gasoline, and informers, all paid for by the FBI and therefore the taxpayer. Reverend Jackson also says many receive extra pay in exchange for investigation of police-officers daily ratings, consistently selling about papers Monday through ftriday. Saturday evening. Mon specific examples of the investigat ion/harassmen t during its peak are toW as fact by Rev. Jackson. Should Jackson call his dispatcher on his radio and say he is going to the toilet, agents would watch when he was going, and immediately rush in to take up all the sooaa or to see if he stands up or sits down. Rev. Jackson’s garbage has been inspected and even stolen. On three different occasions two FBI agents came to the Reverend’s house and tried to break in. Agents parked in front of the Jackson household, slammed their doors and raced their engines. His phone has been tapped and his mail opened. There was a walking patrol stationed up and down Us street before the indictment. This was heistsred by a bicycle and motorcycle patrol Buffalo and State police would circle the block on which Reverend Jackaon lived once every minute, he ays. While eating at a restaurant he would be watched by policemen with a couple of radios on the table. Similarly, “some nights they would have one of their agents with hie ear against the aide of ray house listening,'’ Jackson stated. Frequently when walking home, a prostitute would be let out of ous of the taxicabs hired by the FBI. “When 1 reached that point, the prostitute would offer herself to me for x number of dollars, or come upon my porch, pull her dress up and offer herself for sexual activity,” Jackson said. His Me has been threatened twice by agents withknives. Rev. Jackaon has turned down speaking engagements at churches for 1 (car of investigation of the entire congregation. More recently. Rev, Jackson says that he believes the investigation over the the Buffalo has been entirely ment, but that the in*-"' . / competition intensifies, Nonetheless the general mood at the Courier remains optimistic, Even rivals at the News feel the revamped Sunday Courier looks more impressive than at anytime in recent history. The staff is apparently warming up for the battle for Sundays, with a feeling of stronger backing from the “mistake” in going after Sundays. “He’s got a lot of internal problems,” Connors said, adding that Buffet faces enormous initial outlay* of cash to get the Sunday edition off the ground. “It’s a bit of a ridiculous move on his part. But he’s got the money. He’s got a long way to go mow. He could have had a very profitable six-day operation... Now he’s got to make a new Saturday paper end a new Sunday paper.” “We’re geared up for a fight,” Connors exclaimed. Wardlow of the News downplayed the image of his paper “going after” the Courier, commenting: “There is certainly competing room for two newspapers. We have been blessed with that situation in the past and we’ll be blessed with it in the is Anything future. else unthinkable." Wardlow felt the Courier’s recent dunces were significant. ‘There are signs that the Courier is wheeling into position to go head to head with us and that’s good. Perhaps they should have done it before,” he stated. ' circulation hovers around comparable to the Courier's Sunday edition. The tourier has poured over $30,000 into television advertising on the local TV channels, attempting to both gain new paper’s management. subscribers and convince regulars to stay on. The News is expected Connors, the son of the to follow suit as the November 16 kick-off of their Sunday paper (Courier’s was publisher, approaches. particularly enthusiastic: “No one Although no one expects is worried down here. We are Western New Yorkers to buy two looking at it as a challenge.

The News’ Wardlow claims to be aiming at a large unexploited market, i.e., families that receive neither paper now. When asked how much he expects Time is running out for those who want to get to bite into the Courier’s football tickets; as a matter of fact, today is the last coverage, Wardlow said, “Well day to get tickets for the Big Game tomorrow.

Daddario’s kick gives soccer Bulls key win For a while, it looked like the soccer Bulls were having their usual trouble in overtime. But with under three minutes remaining in the second overtime, a Fredonia defender lost the ball in his own end, and Bulls tri-captain George Daddario converted it into the winning goal. The Bulls 3-2 victory over Fredonia Wednesday afternoon at Rotary Field was their first in three overtime games. It also raised their record to 4-2-1, while Fredonia dropped to 3-1. Both teams had several opportunities to score in the overtime, but couldn't. Finally, with time running out and darkness settling over Rotary Field, Buffalo got their final chance. "I had my back to the ball,” explained Daddario. “Luis Azcue got the ball and pushed it forward. I turned and kicked it as hard as I could." Aided by the strung wind, the ball floated into the net. to the right of the Blue Devil goalie’s outstretched arms. First half scoring Fredonia opened the scoring with a “lucky” goal. Bulls' goalie Mark Celeste had a momentary lapse, as he let the ball fall at his feel. There was a scramble and Fredonia's Steve Yant/, popped it into the net. Bulls countown to kickoff by Marshall Rosenthal Special Featuret Editor The countdown is one; just one more day until the Big Game. When the whistle blows, the football Bulls will battle it out on a Rotary Field that hasn’t seen a football in seven years. Enthusiasm is now at its peak among players and coaches on the staff. Leading the Bulls in the 1977 season will be captains Paul DiMiero and Bernie McKeever. “I’m flying, I’m really psyched,” commented McKeever. Similar sentiments have been expressed by other members of the squad. “Our boys are ready to hit fresh bodies,” stated Buffalo Head Coach Bill Dando. There are approximately 65 team members who have worked very hard in anticipation of this landmark contest. According to Dando, this year’s squad can be categorized as a “quick, aggressive unit.” The Bulls are confident of their ability to put points on the and thwart their board, opponent’s offensive drive. Enter Rpchester Institute of Technology (RIT). ‘Haven’t done much offensively' The Tigers of RIT have a record of 0-3. Their consecutive losses were handed to them by (28-0), Hobart College St Lawrence (34-10) and Albany State (13-3). The Tiger scoring punch has been lacking, especially since their defense has accounted for six of their total 13 points. An RIT official stated that the Tigers “haven’t done much offensively, but we’re more of a threat passing than rushing.” The Tech official was alluding to the fact that the Tigers’ net total offensive output for 1977 totals a meager 11 7 yards. On the ground, they’ve been averaging 50 yards a game while in the air they’ve hauled in an additional 67 yards. Tigers’ The key players offensively will be fullback John Zakrzeski who leads all RIT backs with 31.7 yards per game rushing and quarterback Jim Denk who has completed II of 32 passes for 142 yards on the season. Field goal ace Dick Craft has accounted for the Tigers remaining seven points with two field goals and one extra point. Tech has not been spectacular defensively either. Thus far, they’ve given up an average of 343 yards per game (compared to their overall offensive surge of of Dave Florek, Jim Haderer, Rich Mott and Don Seider. The linebacking corps are: Dave Borsuk, McKeever, Gene Dan Vecchies; Maracle and defensive backs include: Mark Fucinato, Ricky Schwartz and consists 117 yards). However, Middle Guard Mike Benson has been playing “sensationally,” according to an RIT official, leading the Tigers in tackles with an even forty in the three games. When the Tigers take the field tomorrow in quest of their first victory and touchdown of the 1977 season, they should plan to meet ysbme stiff pretty competition from the Buffalo defensive unit. The front four, curtly known as the “Bang Gang” CAPEN LOBBY COUNTER NOW OPEN The Norton-Capen-Talbert Complex now has a lobby at Amherst counter on the ground floor of — Johnny Wade. Big boys The offense could explode at any time under the direction of quarterback Paul DiMiero. His runningmates include Fullback Gary Feltz and Halfback Mark Gabryel. The Bulls have a terrific quartet of hands in receivers Tony Grisanti and Frank Price. The offensive line, instrumental to the Buffalo ground game, consists of some big “boys:” Gary Braun, Tim Karnes, Tim Lafferty, Rich Phillips, Jim Regar and Jim Vaux. Under Dando, the Bulls intend to utilize a host of different offenses against RIT. “We’re ready,” said Dando. But so arc the Tigers. “We’ve lost to some pretty tough teams and we intend to play solid defense,” commented the Tech official. He added, “We intendon using a combination of equal passing and running.” But let RIT come. Bang Gang are company and anxiously awaiting their arrival. Game timrfor tomorrow’s contest on Rotary f ield is I 30 p.m. If you still have not picked up football season’s tickets, they can still be picked up at the Clark Hall Ticket Office. Buffalo came back midway through the first half, when Daddario was tripped in front of the Blue Devils' net, and the Bulls were awarded a penalty shot. Buffalo's leading scorer, tri-captain Mark Karrer look the shot and wound up with his seventh goal of the season, lying the game. Steve Feeney put Buffalo in front when he took a pass from Ramsey Quartey and sent a difficult shot into the net at 35:56 of the first half. In the second half, Fredonia took the offensive and applied a great deal of pressure on the Bulls’ goal. ‘The wind was a factor," said Buffalo coach Sal Esposito. “But our guys did the same thing they did against Cleveland State and Canisius they tried to protect what they - had (a 2-1 lead].” Halfbacks didn’t help Esposito noted that the Bulls kept losing the ball at midfield. The halfbacks, he said, were playing too deep to help on defense or to help carry the ball out of the Bulls’ end. After a throw-in by Fredonia. the ball trickled loose, and instead of a UB halfback being there to dear the ball, Fredonia’$ J.J. Marrone came up with it and sent a high, long shot into the goal to tie the game with about five minutes left in regulation time, setting the stage for overtime. For the overtime, Esposito instructed the Bulls to go hack to their brand of play, and to get out of their defensive shell. ‘They decided to play the way they should play,” he said, “and when they decide to work together, it pays off.” Esposito felt that the game meant a lot to the Bulls, since Fredonia was their first Division ill opponent of the year. Rankings fur the tup ten teams in New York are determined only by wins against teams in one’s own division, so the Bulls are now undefeated in that category.

He left Buffalo and the United States in March 1970, a political exile, spent two years m Sweden and the last five in northern Ontario. He returns to face federal charges stemming from his 11-day draft protest sanctuary in a Buffalo Universalist Unitarian Church in 1968. This is the second of a series of articles written by Beyer to be published exclusively by The Spectrum. Very special thanks to WBFO for making available the necessary recording equipment.

I was taken to FBI headquarters, placed in a cell and told to wait. As my head cleared, 1 began to realize that others were in cells next to mine. We called out to each other, trying to find out if everyone was OK. 1 don’t remember how much time passed before they came to get us to take us before a federal magistrate who was going to set bail, but it was only then that 1 began to realize what had happened. 32 we had been charged with FBI agents, federal marshalls and assaulting police.

Our the nine of us stood before the arrests marked the first time that federal magistrate, we found that federal felony charges were lodged It was only then, once the nine of us were together, the impact of what happened at the church that afternoon of August 19, 1968 really hit us. Nine people were arrested that afternoon and they were not just any nine people. Gerald Gross was the chairman of the Buffalo Chapter of Youth Against War and Fascism and the Martin Sostre Defense Committee. Ray Malak was the chairman of the Research Committee of Action the University of Buffalo’s Students for a Democratic Society. Carl Cronberg was an organizer for the Shades of die 18-minute gap Evidence to be used against NFG is reported as missing A briefcase is missing. It is alleged that the photographs it contains could send officers of the beleagured National Fuel Gas Company (NFG) to prison. The briefcase was stolen from the Student Club at the EUicott complex Saturday night between 10 p.m. and I a.m. According to the owner of the briefcase, law student Ross Scott, thie briefcase contains the chief evidence to be used against NFG in pending U.S. Federal Power Commission (FPC) proceedings. The proceedings have a complex background but could lead to criminal charges being placed against NFG 'officials. NFG has applied to the FPC for authority to construct and operate a massive underground gas storage facility in Allegany County, N.Y. and Potter County, Pennsylvania. The project will affect from five to twenty thousand acres and will cost over $70 million. Environmental impact This includes $9 million for 31 miles of new pipeline in Pennsylvania which NFG claims is necessary in order to make the storage facility work. According to Scott, the project will involve drilling over 70 gas wells, and building many miles of access roads and pipelines which will honeycomb the five to twenty thousand acres of farm and woodlands. A group of farmers and landowners from the affected area, collectively calling themselves Fair Environmental Deals for United People (FEDUP), have intervened in the FPC proceeding by opposing the project. Scott, a co-chairman of the group said, “FEDUP’s position is that an environmental impact statement is required.” NFG opposes that position, saying there will be no environmental effect on the area. However, Lester Hess and Arthur Roeske, farmer members of FEDUP and landowners in the affected area, testified at the FPC hearing that the gas wells, access roads and pipelines will have a “serious impact” on agriculture. They estimated that agricultural productivity would be decreased by about 20 percent for the entire several thousand acre area. Hess also testified that earlier construction by NFG of a gas storage well on his farm resulted in a “blow-out” which innundated several acres of corn with hundreds of gallons of oil. A principal complaint of the landowners is that NFG refuses to pay for the damage they do. NFG has yet to pay Hess for the damages incurred. Testimony from an NFG consultant appears to directly conflict with what Scott has been told by, Allegany County Planning Director. The consultant, Steven Ott, told the FPC that he had discussed the proposed project and its environmental impact with the Planning Director. Ott further testified that the Planning Director had no objections or reservations to the project. When Scott spoke with the Planning Director, the contradictions arose. The Director told Scott he had never heard of the entire project before learning of it in a newspaper article. If rebuttal testimony by the Planning Director establishes that Ott committed perjury, the future of the entire project is in doubt, according to Scott. Five years? Scott said the missing briefcase contained photos showing environmental damage far in excess of that claimed by NFG. The photos also show that NFG has begun constructing the facility without FPC approval, he added. According to Scott* this is a violation of the Natural Gas Act and the National Environmental Policy Act. The first violation, if proven, carries a maximum punishment of five years in prison for the corporate officers involved’. The FPC hearing, which ran from September 12 through September 20, is presently recessed. It is scheduled to resume October 18 at the Federal Power Commission Office, 825 North Capitol Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. For anyone interested in attending, the Docket No. is CP76-492. Needless to say, the missing briefcase is important to the case against NFG. Anyone who has information about its disappearance is urged to contact Scott at 832-8422, 102 Heath Street. Peace and Freedom Party. Bill Barry, Bruce Cline and I were organizers for the Buffalo Draft Resisters Union. Tom O’Connell, Jim McGlen and Richard Rose were all Vietnam veterans as was Ray Malak. Obviously, the FBI knew whom they wanted when they charged through the doors of the church. In one fell swoop they picked off leadership from each of Buffalo’s anti-war organizations. A ten-minute court appearance tied up $45 thousand in bail money. One 20-minute arrest changed almost the entire direction of anti-war organizing in the Buffalo area. The government knew exactly what it was doing. What started out as a peaceful, non-violent demonstration against the war and the Selective Service System, ended in a violent fist-swinging melee. I maintain to this day that this was precisely what the government had in mind when it sent thirty-two police officers to arrest two draft resisters. By provoking a violent situation the government was attempting to do two things: 1) to show that the anti-war movement was inherently violent; and 2) by doing this, frightening off the support Bruce and I had gained from the Buffalo community throughout the twelve-day People were Shortly after our frightened. sanctuary. arrest, the Buffalo Church a passed resolution ending the right to sanctuary to other draft resisters. The minister of the church, upon from Europe, blamed the violence of the people in front of the church and he wasn’t even returning newspapers The local front-page stories about the violence, implying that it was who had our fault. People and me supported Bruce throughout the sanctuary, quickly withdrew their support. The government’s plan had worked. At the time of our arrests, plans were being made to move the anti-war movement off the campuses and the into community. The Buffalo Draft Resistance Union had rented office space on Buffalo’s West Side. They were trying to make draft counseling available to the people who really needed it: white working class, black, brown and other minority youths. We saw the Selective Service System as a tool designed to channel people in the direction that the government desired. Middle-class whites were being provided with student deferments while poor and working people were being forced into the armed forces. But there. carried with the arrest oTthe Nine, our plans changed. We were forced from an offensive strategy to a defensive one. All our time and energy were taken up with our defense. Our base of support in the community was smashed by our arrests. With all our collective energies and strengths, the nine of us tried to turn our arrests into an offensive against the war, racism, 'U.S. Imperialism, and on-going political repression. We accepted engagement every speaking offered to us. We organized fund-raisers, benefits, teach-ins and symposiums. We went into the streets with our demands to end the war against Vietnam and black Americans. In the end it was the courts who decided our fate. The trial of the Buffalo Nine began on February 17, 1969. Instead of putting the nine of us on trial, the govemmentship chose to put the cases of the four of us, Ray Malak, Gerald Gross, Carl Cronberg and me before the In doing this, court. the government was trying to divide the nine of us and also test the waters to find out if they could get a conviction on the others. To be sure, there were political and personal differences among the nine, but there was no way that we were going to allow the government to divide us. Whether they put one, two, three or four of us on trial at the same time, we were determined to fight our frame-up with a unified effort. The first Buffalo Nine trial lasted nine days. It was opened with the following statement from the court, “This is not a political trial. This is a simple case of assault.” If ever there has been a simple case of assault, this trial was not one of them. At every opportunity the four of us attempted to raise the issues of the Vietnam War. We pointed our fingers at the real war criminals, Johnson, Nixon, Vance, Westmoreland, MacNamera and the ruling class of Washington and on Wall Street. Our lawyers, Mike Kennedy and Gerald Lefcourt, of the National Emergencies Civil Liberties Committee, stood by our sides and defended us as if they, too, were on trial. Not since the trial of Martin Sostre had Buffalo witnessed a trial of such major political importance. Nine Supporters of the demonstrated outside the courthouse daily.

Sharpe strongly emphasized that existing roadways will be unable to accommodate recent growth projections. “The Town of Amherst gives top priority to the improvement and realignment of Millersport Highway, the construction of the Lockport Expressway, and the implementation of inter-campus bikeways in order to improve the capacity and safety for the many daily commuters in the Amherst area.” Waste of money? Vice PrOident for Facilities Planning John Telfer also claimed that the highway is necessary in order to accommodate the heavy flow of commuter traffic 'anticipated for the Amherst Campus in the near future. Projections show that by 1980, the University will have an enrollment of 27,000 students. Including faculty and staff, the total campus population will be about 34,000 with an estimated 16,000 vehicles expected to travel to and from campus daily. Manager of the Safety Department for the American Automobile Association (AAA) Lois Pfohl claimed that the present traffic conditions along Millersport Highway were very poor; "the realignment of the highway is a step in the right direction.” Erie County Legislator Daniel Ward is against the realignment of Millersport Highway, calling it is a waste of the taxpayers’ money. “That has to be another farce if there ever was oner-What the University wants, it gets.

(“Foosball”/ football/ soccer.) “Sales have risen greatly in the last five years,” Latz said. “We still sell a greater number of pinball machines, but that’s probably due more to the diversity in types of pinball machines.

A quarter in the table’s slot releases seven or nine balls (ten if you’re lucky). Each ball is dropped, manually, along the center line, and then kicked around by rows of smiling wooden dolls, four rows for each side, controlled by handles which are in turn controlled by the presumably supple wrists of the two or four players. Subtleties such as the Double Spin Rebound, the Triple Trapeeze Squeeze, and the Suicide Boot are not necessary to a layman’s understanding of the game. Is that a clear picture? If not, it’s a simple matter to go and look at the real thing. Chances are that your favorite neighborhood bar has * table.

A S 10,000 tournament will take place in Syracuse this November, but Latz says there are no plans for a Buffalo tournament in the near future. Foosball is growing so fast that the supply of games sometimes falls behind the demand. “It's hard to break in as a beginner,” one Pub player complained. “You have to keep winning to keep playing, because someone always has a quarter on the table.” But Footsbail seems attractive enough that most of its disciples don’t count the cost.

As a warning to anyone with the intentions of ripping something a off, sign on the door reads: “All shoplifters will be prosecuted.” \ . . _ . It is difficult to write about the passing of Groucho (Julius Henry) Marx this past summer at the age of eighty-six. After all, he had almost reached “living legend" status before most of the students at this University were even born. Some hadn’t yet reached kindergarten in 1961 when his qufe show “You Bet Your Life.” which iwyn on radio in the late forties and moved over to television in the early fifties, ended its fourteen-year run. However, through the combined “magic” of film and television reruns, Groucho Marx remains one of the best known and loved personalities among college students today. Characters such as Captain Jeffrey T. Spaulding, Otis B. Driftwood, and Dr. Hugo Z. Hackenbush are probably more popular today than in the 1930’s when they starred in various Marx Brothers’ films. The “secret word” and the duck have now become known to a whole new generation of Groucho fanatics. A century from now there will likely be somebody different discovering Groucho, along with his brothers, for the first time Eyebrows and cigars Solution: piotf rntinn Unfortunately, the real Groucho Marx was not “When someone is caught shoplifting he will definitely he as ageless or immortal as the film and videotape that prosecuted,” said Seitz. “We will attempt to prosecute undergraduates keep his unique brand of comedy alive.

To combat this, store managers have hired a plainclothes guard ‘Beverly Hifls mafia’ who patrols the premises. Since the beginning of the semester a few Intellectuals might say that it is this breaking of conformity and established rules which make students have been picked up, said the female guard. She reported actual cases of students walking in wearing Groucho popular with college people. Great backpacks, easily loading them with food and trying to walk out. Thus, happiness is experienced by any Groucho fan when the presence of a sign on the door stating: “We reserve the right to inspect all packages, including backpacks." Wien caught, the penalty will vary; first offenders may get off with a warning or a fine. When asked about student shoplifting another Super Duper employee commented, “Anyone who is caught shoplifting should be sent to jail. The bad thing about it is that it can ruin your life. You’ll get a record that will stick with you forever.” Another store in the University Plaza with a shoplifting problem is Lee’s Drugs, whose manager did not speculate on students being the main offenders. “We have a huge quota for shoplifting but al of this time we can’t nail the numbers down on any one group,” said Ron Tacklemen. His attitude towards the largely student clientele is favorable. “As long as they don’t give me or the store a hassle, everything is fine. Students are paying customers and ate always treated like any other customers,” explained Tacklemen. In contrast with other businesses. Laco Bookstore on Main Street does not find shoplifting a big problem. However, they do “lose” a few books each year. “The problem results when someone tries to sell us back books that they have taken. It will be our book, but they won’t have any proof of purchase,” said an employee. One safeguard taken against stealing is the erection of shelves for students to store their property. This way the management knows that books students walk around with ate the ones they intend to buy.

Absolutely nothing escaped the tongue of Groucho Marx. In films he brought down the upper classes and institutions and he humbled the middle-class contestants on his show. Zeppo (Herbert) Marx, sometimes known as the “fourth Marx Brother,” is the only brother still alive. Gummo (Milton) Marx, who left show business and went into the army during World War I, died in April of 1977 at the age of eighty-four. Chico (Leonard) Marx passed on in 1961 and Harpo (Arthur) Marx died in 1964. The thought of Groucho Marx brings fond memories to the minds of his fans. The mirror scene in “Duck Soup” (1933) with Harpo, the contract scene with Chico, the infamous stateroom scenewith both his brothers in “A Night at the Opera” (1935) or the “tootsie-fruitsie ice cream” scene with Chico in 'tA Day at the Races” (1937) are all comedy classics. Plus the time on his quiz show when he told a contestant who was a police officer, “You have nothing on me, copper, I’ve been busy every night this week at meetings of the Beverly Hills Mafia.” ’Drunk and early’ Possibly Groucho’s most famous role was that of Captain Jeffrey T. Spaulding in the play and subsequent film “Animal Crackers” (1930). Captain Spaulding is an African explorer and he describes his latest trip to that continent to a gathering at the home of sophisticate Mrs. Rittenhouse (played by « Spectrum Staff Writer Margaret Dumont): “ we left New York drunk and early on the morning of February second. After fifteen days on the water and six on the board, we finally arrived on The first morning saw us up the shores of Africa at six, breakfasted and back in bed at seven. This was ... our routine for the first three months. We finally got so we were back in bed by six-thirty.” Then he spoke this famous story: “One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I don’t know. Then we tried to remove the tusks. The tusks, that’s not easy to say. Tusks. You try it some time But they were embedded so firmly we couldn’t budge them.

Maloney, Women Studies and Clifford Furnas will have their charters reviewed by the College Chartering Committee this year. This committee, composed of 12 voting members, and six non-voting members, will decide whether each college has met the qualifications set forth in the Reichart Prospectus for rechartering. The Reichart Prospectus is the constitution for the . Colleges that sets the rules about chartering and rechartering. The twelve eligible voting members consist of six faculty members, one representative of th4 Academic Affairs Council, two undergraduate students, one graduate student, and two College Council members. Non-votthg members are Vice President for Academic Affairs, Vice President for Health Sciences, Vice President for Student Affairs, Dean of Undergraduate Studies, Dean of the Colleges and Chairman of the Faculty Senate. This committee will review each charter and propose whether adoption, revocation, or modification is warranted. Dean of the Colleges Dr. Irving Spitzberg said, “Most colleges have their charters renewed unless the quality of their cowries are poor, or there is a lack of faculty interest." In recent years, only two colleges have had thencharters revoked, the College of Modern Education and the Social Sciences College. Spitzberg continued, “The rechartering process for the five colleges started last April, and it was hoped the College Chartering Committee would- be formed by September 1. Unfortunately, due to a lack of faculty willing to take on the heavy load, the process has been delayed.” By May of 1978, the work of the Committee will be submitted to President Ketter and the Colleges will know whether they have been rechartered or not. Spitzberg hopes all five colleges will be rechartered next May. “There are some weaknesses in some of the Colleges that will have to be worked on during this term so that they will be able to have their charters renewed,” he said. The Prospectus (Constitution of the Colleges) comes up before the Committee also this year. An evaluation will be presented to the Faculty Senate no later than April. 1978.

Who is this guy Bruce Beyer and what is so important about the fact that he, like so many other draft resisters of the Vietnam era, was forced to leave this country ps a political exile because he didn't want to fight in a grossly unjust mistake? To begin with, Bruce Beyer has not been home in seven and a half years. Home is Buffalo. Beyer wants desperately to return here. The minute hs sets foot on the American side of the Peace Bridge, however, he will probably be arrested and thrown in jail to await releue on bail. His probate trial will not be on charges of draft evasion; those charges wore dropped in 1972. No, Bruce Beyer faces state and federal bailjumping charges, both felony offenses. They stem from his bailjumping conviction on charges of assaulting a federal marshall (an FBI agent) and subsequent sentencing to three years in jail. If ever charges against anyone were by premeditation false, these were. Beyer, along with Bruce Cline, was beaten up by FBI agents as they arrested him while he stood on the pulpit of the church in which he had taken sanctuary from the draft Seven others were arrested with Beyer and Cline that morning in August, 1968; not coincidentally, they were all the leaders of the Buffalo anti-war movement at the time. Their arrests were a calculated effort by the FBI to disrupt that anti-war movement and it was severely successful. This column is too short to recount the history of the Vietnam war or to rationalize the movement against it. The war was wrong in every respect and those who protested against it and against everything it symbolized imperialism, industrial profit, iracism and the neo-American way of life, to begin are true American heroes. - — The importance of Bruce Beyer and his return to face trial here lie in the fact that he is a vital part of the history of the movement against the Vietnam War as it occur*! in Buffalo, the Buffalo Nine (he and those arrested with him) compose a key chapter in that history.

You stated that “there was a widespread fear that all electricity in bllicott would be shut off as the flooding had come within inches of electrical transformers.” You also reported that this was a groundless fear, that a spokesman for Campus Security had dubbed the statement a “vicious rumor.” At 4:15 on Monday, September 26, we were notified of the flood situation and the possible loss of electricity as the EUicott Area Coordinators and Head Residents relayed this “vicious rumor” to us.

Taking into account: a) Rugby is on an intercollegiate level of play, similar to that of the newly formed football team, b) the U.B. Rugby Club is representative of one of the largest schools in the Eastern United States (maybe the nation). The .066% (20 players) of the school that is involved is inexcusable.

The responsibility for it rests someplace in the Office of Admissions and Records. However, nobody there seems to be willing to take credit for this fiasco. So, considering how bad the ID card was, IRC decided to provide a service to students who wanted Sheriffs ID cards. What has resulted in plain, honest to god, paranoia! Does anyone actually believe that the issuance of a few Sheriffs cards is going to change the hrie County Sheriffs Department into the CIA? Does anyone believe that this will complete their all inclusive files? When Sheriff Braun stated that they throw out their old files after a few years I have no reason not to believe him. Have you ever seen 100,000fingerprint*?! can’t even imagine that much th0y going to do with those paper. What dse files, eat them afleCjtltey’ve memorized them! Is The Spetlruhi calling half of Buffalo fools for having Sheriffs . caWpi? Does The Spectrum realize how widespread fingerprinting is in New York City for municipal jobs?'Now I can see not being in love with the idea but pfease don t stay up late worrying about it. We are not, living in a futuristic, mechanized state yet. When wif do, begin to worry! But as ol now, the hrie County Sheriff's Department is not that bright; I ven the CIA doesn’t appear to be as smart as we have pn&iously thought.

Jeffrey Lessofj Vice President, Sub-Board I Rage six Hie Spectrum Wednesday, 5 October 1977 . . �WBFO dealing with youths Drug abuse peaks during junior high school years and juvenile crime account for half of the nation’s crime rate, according to a Washington, D.C. news release. “Portrait of American Adolescence,” a five-part series sponsored by WBFO (88.7 FM), will deal with issues important to this time of life every Monday night at 6:30 p.m. The program, which began on October 3, will focus on mental and physical health, drugs, alchohol, sex, pregnancy and juvenile justice, among other prevalent topics concerning youth. The “Options in Education” program release also indicates that girls fifteen and under are the only group in society where the birth rate is increasing. The survey indicates alchohol use is on the rise, and drinking is starting at an earlier age, which may be linked with increased admissions to mental hospitals. Researchers claim these facts are misleading. Seventy percent of the nation’s 16 million twelve to adolescence through fifteen-year-olds pass peacefully. Nevertheless, the above statistics form widespread stereotypes about youth. The purpose of this series is to cure the unnecessary neglect of an age group that is often overlooked. Psychologist at Cornell University, and Harvard psychiatrist Dr. Robert Coles, are among the guests: featured These interviews include conversations with youths and with parents, reflecting on their adolescent children. Dr. Lipsitz stated that the reason some adolescents go through periods of stress is because adults expect this type of behavior. She said, “Adults batten down die hatches in preparation for the stressful time, and ready themselves to wait out the storm.” But, she adds, “This may be a case of self-fulfilling prophecy in which our expectations of chaos help to create the predicted behavior.” Co-producer of “Options in Education” Jo Ellyn Rackleff stated. “This period of adolescence is second only to the first three years in importance to a child’s development, and it has never received the attention it deserves. We want “Portrait of American Adolescence” to raise consciousness about how young people grow up in our country today.” Topics of the radio programs which will be broadcast every Monday for the next four weeks are: Pathological Problems, Teenage Crime, Families youths as part of them, and Kids alone and with their peers. Transcripts and cassettes of the five program series are available at a cost of S2.00 and 525.00 respectively, or $.50 and $5.00 each.

Uric Dr. - - Getting stuck ‘Breaking up is so easy to do -elevators J by Robert Herb in Spectrum ‘‘I was running out of air. There was no way to get out and my frozen broccoli was melting.” This is the way one exasperated Ellicott resident described a recent ordeal when she and her roommate were trapped in an elevator for 20 minutes with eight others. There are approximately 90 elevators cm both campuses of this University. These elevators break down quite frequently evidenced by the fact that University Police received 16 calls for people trapped in stuck elevators in the months of August and September. This number is deceptively low because of the decrease in University population during the summer months. According to a resident of Porter quad in Ellicott, one elevator has broken down three times this semester. There is a multitude of reasons why the elevators break down. According to the district manager for Dover Elevator Co. L. E. Hamilton, an elevator is a combination of electrical and mechanical systems and such experience system's can breakdowns. The elevators in the dorms, he explained, are most prone to breakdown because they are in almost constant use from about 5 a.m. until 3 a.m. and for 24 hours on weekends. However, said Hamilton, abuse also plays a major role in the number of breakdowns. Some of the abuse, he said, includes the stop the emergency between floors and the opening of doors while the car is in motion, to Overloading may lead engaging immediate breakdowns the problems in explained. Staff Writer or create future, he w to the service According for Dover superintendent Paul Augustyniak, Elevator, many vandalism causes unnecessary emergency calls for elevator service. An elevator can be rendered useless by placing gum over the photo-eye or jamming the doors or buttons. If an elevator is not operating, either University Police or Housing Maintenance is notified. Should the breakdown occur during business hours. Maintenance is notified and determines whether it is a minor problem or something which requires the services of Dover. Police handle University elevator problems after business hours and during the weekends. The elevator company will be called if the University Police cannot handle the situation. An emergency call to the company will not be made after working hours unless someone is trapped or all elevators in a building are out of commission. An emergency call after hours costs about $64 an hour, Hamilton explained, but is only half as expensive during the working day. The University has a service contract with Dover, said Hamilton, but ‘hat agreement does not protect against abuse or vandalism. If you get stuck in an elevator, Hamilton said, there are a few simple things to remember. First of all, don’t panic. He claimed the best thing to -do is to put on the emergency alarm and wait for help. Going out through the roof can be very dangerous and is not advised unless there is an emergency situation or there is no other possible way to get out, Hamilton concluded.

Very understandably, such a “usefulness” can no longer be over emphasized if there isn’t going to be any clear cut consideration of the rightful Chinese settling of their own Taiwan question. Since China and the United States exchanged diplomatic liaison missions in 1973, while upholding the respectful spirit of the Shanghai Communique, Peking has insisted that any broadening of relations with Washington was absolutely precluded by formal U.S. ties with the “Nationalist Government” on Taiwan. Despite President Carter’s contradictions on his recent dual China objectives in attempts to “normalize” relations with the People’s Republic, and meanwhile not "abandon” the remnant Chiang regime on Taiwan, Senator Edward Kennedy’s call for full diplomatic ties with the People’s Republic is prior to Vance’s trip, has been to date most sincere and re commendable move on behalf of both the American and Chinese people. Thus, regardless of the apparent fact that this call had been ignored in Vance's recent talks in Peking with the Chinese leaders, Kennedy’s correct objectives concerning acute normalization of relations with China certainly deserve serious considerations in the near future. Critically, Kennedy was in obvious good intent when he called for the ending of diplomatic relations with the “Republic of China” to have the way for full-scale ties with the People’s Republic of China. With a clear notation in mind of the “Nationalist Government” established on Taiwan by late Chiang Kai-shek after he was driven from the mainland by the Chinese people 28 years ago, Kennedy, in his speech to the Boston World Affairs Council in » mid-August, pronounced, “We must end our military presence there, and our formal diplomatic relations with the island.” As expanding on his rationale for ending formal relations with Taiwan, Kennedy noted that this has already been carried out by all major U.S. allies, xsuch as Japan, and that Taiwan is militarily secure partly because of substantial American arms shipments and training programs. Concretely, Kennedy moved to set an early date for withdrawal of U.S. troops from Taiwan, and open negotiations on full normalization of relations with Peking, with an exchange of embassies no later than 1978. Furthermore, he urged a settlement of American financial claims against China with Chinese assets presently frozen in the U.S.; expansions of governmental contacts, trade and cultural exchange .between the two nations; and a development of political and legal steps required for continuing ties with Taiwan on an unofficial basis. In view of the current international situation, the trend toward normalization of U.S.-China relations is irreversible, despite one’s speculation that Vance’s recent appearance in China might have been to create at least some incentive for the Soviet Union to improve relations with the U.S., particularly SALT negotiations. Nonetheless, Vance could have done well other than just “useful” or “explanatory” with Kennedy’s advice, clearly stressing the formal and informal distinction between relationships, and offering the best path toward Carter’s contradictory China policy. However, most importantly, the move made by Kennedy is not at all hasty, but clearly a timely one. And, the timy is NOW!

I know what it is like to be faced with an instructor who speaks “unintelligible” English. You see, in my high school, in my country, I had an American teacher, peace-corps or something.... For the life of me, I could not understand a word of what she was saving. She spoke with a drawl, spok'e through her nose, and completely mispronounced the words of the English language. Fortunately she did not teach English. Fortunately too, I realized that I had to learn. I had to move beyond this accent to the information that the teacher was trying to impart. I would suggest that you attempt the same.

A To the Editor. The Spectrum has on several occasions featured letters from indignant students bewailing the fact that some TA’s and instructors have “foreign accents.” I agre that with some foreign instructors “learning is a handicap;” it does require some extra effort, but I assert, that it is not an insurmountable handicap. , Students have created much of the problem for Which they blame “foreign accents.” This is a viable “cop-out.” These instructors, are for the most part, exceptionally qualified, gaining their TA position because they are so qualified. They arc aware of the handicap and are willing to provide supplementary help to help students overcome the “handicap.” But the negative reaction from American students is disillusioning, to say the least. What has struck us all, time and time again, is the latent prejudice shown by some Americans in “foreign accent” becomes something of ridicule! Everyone speaks with an accent Ms. Abramowitz. In what way was the class a farce! Was the material in error or irrevelant? What do you consider intelligible English? Was it unintelligible because it was different? How long did you give yourself to get accustomed? Did you approach your teacher? One can sense that Ms. Abramowitz and her classmates have indeed found a scapegoat for their inadequacies, inadequacies_gs students and people. ignorance, Such classic intolerance and unfortunately permeates this institution of “higher education.” The world is shrinking, fellow students. The status quo has already begun to topple. It is not unlikely the most important lesson one can learn in the 1970’s, is understanding “foreign accents.” SKI RENTALS Down Vests, Parkas, ■s, 60-40 Parkas fool Hats. socks, mittens Back Packs Hiking Boots M.

He says also that menus are made up by dieticians who “take into consideration the likes and d&likes of students.” At five-thirty in the morning, experienced specialty chefs and bakers donned in white caps and aprons turn on intricate machinec that produce tonight’s dinner, and tomorrow’s breakfast and hmch. In a large sterile room, machines section off various food areas: produce, soups and meats, breads and desserts Deskinned spuds The facility’s produce area consists of large sinks and special equipment that enables 1500 pounds of vegetables to be cleaned and cut in less than an hour. A special potato peeler can de-skin fifty pounds of potatoes in eight minutes. Can a Veg-O-Matic do that? Soups and gravies are boiled and brewed in another area of the commissary. Steam kettles with ISO gallon capacities stand near the meats section. Cuts of meat are sliced and prepared here. The bread and dessert section are located primarily in the center of the ‘kitchen.’ Italian breads and buns are made from scratch with unbleached flour to “meet the requests of the students,” says Cappellimi. Food Service purchases ready-made sliced white bread, however. Puffy screams After it’s been prepared, the unbleached dough goes into proofing bins. These are tall, thin shiny cabinets that accelerate the rising of dough. Afterwards, two magnificent rotary ovens await their puffy arrival. The bread bakes golden brown as it takes a ferris ride on shiny silver shelves. Needless to say, Hansel and Gretel would scream with delight at the sight of these ovens: three witches can fit easily. Bread lovers will salivate to learn that 1 500 pieces of baked goods are made daily. The pie machine turns out 800 fruit pies in an hour. 1400 fry cakes (doughnuts) are ready to eat in sixty minutes. Statler’s cookie machine can roll off 120 cookies per minute. An intricate device, the cake depositor plops batter into pans at a rate that would make Betty Crocker’s head spin. However, due to lack of parts it has yet to be used. Food prepared is placed in heating cabinets to insure proper temperature while it is distributed to various parts of the University by massive trucks. The next time you indulge in veal parmigiana. watch your weight with salads or gorge yourself with doughnuts and cherry pie, remember who makes them and where they are being made.

During the part year an aB-too evident racist and sexist mentality has manifested itself within the country.

Wednesday’s The Spectrum ran a badly written article comparing the North Buffalo Food Coop to local tacky supermarkets. The article left the reader with the absurd impression that there isn’t much difference between the Coop and supermarkets. This is an insult to all Coop members who work hard to provide a real service to the North Buffalo - destructive packaging, while supermarkets sell more paper, plastic, glass, and cans than actual food. Also, the Coop gets much of its food from other collectives, such as the Yeast West Bakery, Clear Eye (a food distributer in Rochester), and recently Medicine Wheel Herb and Healing Collective. I don’t know where The Spectrum got its “composite list of various student tastes,” which makes it look like the Coop has little to offer. Of course, the Coop doesn’t carry items like hamburger helper, beefaroni, or Pepsi. That’s shit food. The Coop sells high quality foods that are otherwise unobtainable at good prices in our area. There is a wide selection of: produce, grains, beans, flours, cheeses, nut butters, oils, dried fruit, nuts, whole wheat pasta, and a whole lot more. FOOD FOR PEOPLE NOT FOR PROFIT. community. - There was no mention of how the Coop functions that members work four hours a month to get a 14.3 percent discount (SI off on every $7), and can buy in bulk (i.c., 5 pounds of cheese) at wholesale cost. Collective decisions of store policy are made at meetings where members and non-members are welcome to participate. Try and do that at Super Duper. There was no mention of the many political differences. Supermarkets are operated by big corporations linked to argra-business. They rip off the consumer, oppress their workers, and make a big profit. The Coop is there to meet peoples’ needs, not to make a profit Prices are low. All money made — Some might ay that these an only isolated Instances, or maybe. anmetlilng that has little bearing on their lives. But our contention is that the legal system and the business community is the out to protect only one genre of person in this country - When facts are short, myths surface to fill the empty spaces. Sometimes these myths take the place of facts in people’s minds. Such is die care ofMs. Bed, a UB student, who wrote, “None of the quotas in question concern females. AO quotas that exist today concern the ‘disadvantaged minorities!..The fact is that the SEEK, HEOP and EOF enrollment programs in the SUNY system which wfli be affected by die decision of the U.S. Supreme Court concerning the Bakke case, caters not only to Blacks and Puerto Ricans, but also to Women and poor whites who otherwise could not have attended the University. Ms. BeB maintains her “Iffly white” conception of “reality” “Equality," she states, “will only start to exist when qualifications are the only thing studied.” No, Ms. Bell, equality in education can only exist when the whole education system is revised. When black and other minority children get an equal education in elementary and secondary schools. Our preparatory system today is full of inequality. From lack of minority teachers and remedial reading programs, to the racist dental of the Made experience and the actual rale in American and World History. Women are tracked into Home Economics and shunned away from the sciences. This leaves them unfairly disadvantaged when competing with the white male for Med school, law school and the working world. Grammar school teaches the women to cook and dean for men. Minorities are also tracked out of the honors programs and sent into the “dummy” Or don’t you remember high school? No, there will only be equality when wc all get the same start. Although quotas do not make up for the gross injustices of this country’s past, they are necessary devices that we must defend. Air. Kail Otsa, you claim that Air. Bakke was rejected although “he had higher grades then many of the students accepted, most of that is the whom were mostly minorities.” “Mostly Minorities” Otsa. Who else was with lower than Mr. grades let in key phrase, Air. research would have known that there If you had done Bakke? you were white applicants with lower grades accepted. And how old were they? Air. Bakke is 37 and might that have something to do with his rqectkm? Rather, he should be claiming age and not “reverse Then we have Air. Lcawff and his I-wouldn’t-want-my-sister to-many-one liberal racist ideology. Air. Lessoff wrote that he feels “most pre-professionai students agree with the philosophical principles of Affirmative Action. However, we do not agree with the practical application of it.” What hypocracy! Oh yes, Mr. Lessoff, it’s nice to talk about the “colored problem” and the philosophical aspects of women’s liberation but to you Blacks are jstdl Niggers and Women still belong in the kitchen. If you believe in isometfateg, then act on it, but don’t give us some long-winded jive about tiie inequality that the white male suffers. Just stop and you realize that the white male is privileged in our society. The “Committee to Reverse the Bakke Decision” does not rest case. its The struggle continues, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on October 12. Across the country there will be demonstrations on October 8 and IS. We will have a meeting this Friday in Room 337, Squire Hall at 2 p jn. Everyone is invited and any non-union grapes or lettuce You won’t at the Coop. We also support the organized boycotts on Florida citrus and Iranian goods. The Coop sells food with a minimum of costly, economically Michael Aaron Chetn lab needed To the Editor: I am disgusted by the way myself and other freshmen have been ousted out of Chetn labs we were registered for. In early September, I wrestled with my schedule and waited on long drop add lines -to get the courses I needed. I have (had) Chetn lab and recitation for Friday afternoon, and if I get a schedule card fresh out of the computer right now, it will testify to that. Then the Chem Dept, wanted us to register again at a prescribed time, at the stockroom to make it official, which I did. 1 signed my name next to my typed name and filled out a little card, after waiting on a long line. Then the Chem Dept, told me I was officially registered in Friday afternoon Chemistry lab. On September 20, my name appeared on a list to see Mrs. Clark, who is in charge of registration for the Chemistry Department. Mrs. Clark told me I wasn’t In Friday afternoon Chem lab and that there was no room for me there. So 1 went to Drop Add to obtain a schedule card that clearly showed me to be registered in Friday afternoon Chem lab, and told her that I also registered at the stockroom as we were supposed to to confirm my recitation and lab space. She still insisted that there was no room for me in the course because someone had put the wrong lab capacity into the computer. I told her I thought that was very unlikely, that in such an important apd easy step as.ptifting a lab capacity into a computer, no one could make such a blunder. So I have gone from being officially registered in Friday afternoon Chem lab to being dumped and having no Chem lab at all. Name withheld upon request <•<«««>« Who is aggressor? To the Editor. Mr. Shabat Moshe’s Sept. 23 letter to The Spectrum raised “Egyptian Lecture Damaging” a few points which require clarification: 1. He claimed the evening was ‘fabricated to damage the image of Israel’. Was it really? Is Israel immune to criticism of historical and political validity? The image of Israel is, in fact, self-damaging, for any objective observer who reads the documentary history of the Arab-lsraeli conflict can pinpoint several facts: - — The Zionist colonization of Palestine and continuous aggression and expansionist policies have inflicted incredible injustices on the Palestinian Arabs and not only usurped their political and civil rights but forcibly dispossessed and evicted them from their country reducing them to mere refugees scattered all over the world. Isn’t fills a clear violation of the United Nations’ Universal Declaration on Human Rights? b. The whole world knows that Israel’s Prime Minister Menahem Begin headed the terrorist organization Irgun.Zva Leumi which planted bombs in crowded marketplaces, murdered British soldiers, blew up Jerusalem’s King David Hotel, and savagely massacred the inhabitants of the non-belligerent and unarmed Arab village of Deir Yassin in April, 1948. Can Mr. Begin deny that hundreds of old men, women and children were deliberately butchered, (tripped and mutilated, and that young girls and pregnant women were raped and disembowled? Arthur Koestkr called the “bloodbath” of Deir Yassin “the psychologically decisive factor” that triggered the Palestinian Arabs’ forced ‘exodus’. •2, Mr. Mosfae alleged that the Egyptians and Syrians wan the aggressors in the October, 1973 War. Who is the red aggressor? Israel, in 1967, beQignentiy occupied Egyptian, Syrian and Palestinian land, set up Nad-Uke concentration a. Israel’s - — ' Committee to Reverse theBakke Decision - — camps, and refused to respond to Arab peace initiatives. Doesn’t that constitute aggression? And is there a person in his right mind who can stand still and sanction foreign occupation of his country? 3. The millions of Arabs whom Mr. Moshe claimed want “to destroy Israel” are the actual victims of the Israeli Military Machine which bombed civilians, brought destruction to the cities of Ismailia, Suez, and Qunaitera. and altered the character of Old Jerusalem. Didn’t the Israeli Chief of Staff, iii his press conference on the second day of the October War say: “We’ll teach the Arabs a lesson they will never forget. We’ll erase their cities from the face of this planet. We’ll tUm their days nights. We’ll make their children orphans and their wives widows?” Can there be more vicious and hostile intentions? 4. As for the legitimacy of the state of Israel Resolution, since as a result of the U.N. when is the U.N. a real estate broker. On the other hand, if, for argument’s sake, the U.N. partition plan is considered feasible, then what happened to the Palestinian portion and why is it that Israel is the only country in the world that has not defined its borders? 5. Finally, the words ‘Arabs* and ‘Jews’ were used to misrepresent the issue before the Jewish community by insinuating that the Arab-Israeli conflict is a religious and racial one which is not true. The Jews and the Arabs are Semites. In reality, the conflict is between the Arabs and the Israelis who usurped their land and are continuing to practice genocide against them. How long will individuals like Mr. Moshe continue to deceive themselves by believing the fictions they have created? Such attitudes cannot encourage the prospects for peace in the Middle East; they can only add oil to the fire.

Two other wrecks were believed to be leftovers from last year’s Grand Prix. According to Several glazed-eyed observers, these vehicles were stolen and ignited because, “The bog wanted a hog.” Throngs swarmed and surrounded the flaming cars. Mud, bottles, cans and firewords were thrown at the raging fires, as well as across the fire at the crowds on the opposite side. Why? Chants from the hords explained: “The other side sucks. The other side sucks ...” etc., ad infinitum. Senate recesses Several burly individuals overturned the still-flaming autos. Others smashed the sacrifices beyond recognition. What appeared to be a blazing, brand-new Capri was flung into a narrow ditch. A youth stripped down to a pair of shoes and proceeded to urinate on the sports car. Not to be by even himself, he then hurled his body over the flaming ruins. When asked why he did such a thing, the youth (who identified himself only as Al from Pontiac. / Michigan) replied, “Why not? It glues everyowe a laugh. Actually, it was done out of a dare. Some chick wanted to know if I had the rtsmmi Al’s two partners in the escapade, idftdifd only as Joe and Tom, also from Michigan, commented that Al’s stunt was usually performed while holding candles or flares. “We started doing this two years ago at the Indy 500,” said Joe, oho bad repreated Al’s actions save the monumental leap.

James Hunt of Great Britian, driving a Mclaren m26 won a dramatic United States Grand Prix for formula one cars. Hunt’s narrow victory came after he had broken Niki Lauda’s lap record during qualifying rounds to place him on the pole. It was the first victory for the new m26 chassis and Hunt’s second this year. Mario Andretti finished second, just 100 yards behind, making up a 14-second deficit within 3 laps to bring the estimated Crowd of 100,000 to its feet. Hunt’s rain tires were chunking badly on the drying track as he nursed his car to the finish, apparently unaware of how hard Andretti was coming on. “1 could feel my left front tire wearing badly, but I decided to take the chance and go all out for the win,” the veteran Andretti said afterwards. Jody Scheckter was third in the Wolf, and Niki Lauda fourth in the Fcrarri. Lauda’s conservative drive to fourth clinched his second world driving - championship in three years, but is expected to drive for the Brabham team next year. Gambling on tires The Brabhams were the strongest team in qualifying, with Hans Stuck qualifying second behind Hunt and John Watson third. But their hopes we~e stuttered early. Stuck outdragged Hunt to the first turn and built up a commanding lead for 14 laps until crashing and surrendering the lead in turn seven while lapping a slower car. Watson took a gamble by starting the race on dry weather tires, hoping that be could save a pit stop if everyone else had to change over front rain tires. But on the first lap he spun on the wet track and came around in last place. Later on he changed to rain tires and consistently posted the fastest tune of the day until Ronnie Peterson lapped faster in the six-wheeled Tyrrell during the dosing stages. Both Tyrrells were fastest down the main straight at 178.3 mph. Deliberate puddling Most of the race was run on a wet track due to a steady drizzle but as the track started to dry. tires became a real problem for a lot of the drivers. The treaded “wet” tires overheat when used on dry pavement, a condition that often leads to their failure. Consequently, the lines around the track were changing constantly as driven deliberately drove through the existing puddles in an attempt to keep the tires cool and thus avoid pitting for new ones. Hunt, probably remembering how Andretti had stolen victory from him in the dosing stages in Japan last year by charging on a drying track, was carefully saving his car. But when he went by the pits for the last time hr, crew Was signalling him wildly that Andretti was catching up. When it was then announced that Andretti had cut the lead to l.S seconds on the hackstraight, the crowd grew restless with antidpation. But Hunt held off to win the race and deny Andretti his second U.S. Grand Prix victory. *• WITH ONLY 49*.

The United States ruling class has - changed its tactics visa-vis supression of Third World struggles few liberation, but revolution is spreading around the world. Whether President Carter troops, money or CIA operatives into Southern Africa, goal is the same: maintaining Ad hegemony. The effect of the political repression unleashed against the anti-war movement in the late 60’s extends into today. People are afraid. Hundreds of thousands of dollars were poured into the defenses of hundreds of antiwar activists whose only crime was that they wanted to stop the war by means any necessary. Thousands of people were sent to jail or forced into exile because they would not stand by and let the government do as it pleased, it has been a hard time. No one in krs right mind wants to go into jail or into exile. No one, after having seen what happened to the activists in the United States during the 1960’s, wants to risk the pain, suffering, and even death that was our fate, The 790 thousand mainly white working class and black Vietnam veterans with less than honorable discharges, who risked their lives in defense of their country, have learned a grim lesson. They have been used as pawns in a power struggle that had nothing to do with defense and everything to do with capitalism. These veterans and thousands of other Americans are in need of a real amnesty. An amnesty that will have meaning and bring relief. There are millions more in need of employment and quality housing. Instead of forced conscription to the Selective Service System, youths today are, being forced into the Armed Forces by economic conscription, If there are lessons to be learned from the 60’s it is that the fight is at home where it should have been in the first place.

Bin Yates, one of the witnesses at the first trial, traveled to Cuba. Upon his return in September, more than one year after our arrest in the church, he. too, was arrested and charged as we were. The government then announced they were going to re-try Gross, Con berg and Malak and add two others. Bill Barry and Bill Yates to its list. Once again we were forced on the defensive, The second trial was as much a crime as the first one. Different judge, different prosecutor, but the charges were the same and the outcome a foregone conclusion. If you go on a fishing trip and throw in enough hooks, you’re bound to catch something. This time the jury found Cronberg and Barry not guilty; they were hung again on Grom. Bill Yates and Ray Malak were found guilty and immediately shipped off to serve a contempt sentence for their unwillingness to put up with the charades. Yates and Malak later served 18 months on a three-year , they sentence. v There are lessons to be learned from the trials of the Buffalo Nine. Important lessons, even today.

Canisku Booters battle to 3—3 overtime tie by Michael Rndny Spectrum Staff Writer Buffalo soccer coach Sal Esposito once said, “Big Four games are always tough, close scoring affairs.” Monday’s soccer match between the Bulls and Canisius College proved to be no exception as the two clubs battled to a 3—3 tie, in overtime. This was Buffalo’s second contest in three days and the Bulb looked a little tired after having defeated a tough Houghton College team on Saturday afternoon. Brst half play was ragged as both Buffalo and Canisius had trouble mounting their respective offensive attacks. The contest’s first twenty minutes of action saw end-to-end play as both teams experienced difficulty passing the ball. Buffalo started to apply pressure late in the period but shots by Jim Rudolph and Steve Feeney were blocked by the Canisius goaltender and the half ended with neither team in the scoring column. Low kick score The Bulb scored the game’s first goal at the 59:40 mark. Ramsey Quartey scored on a low kick to the left of the Golden Griffin net. Barry Kleeman and Luis Azcue picked up the assists on the goal which was scored after a scramble in front of the net. Buffalo added another score eighteen minutes later to take a 2-0 lead. Mark Karrer’s low shot deflected off a Griffin fullback and went into the net. The goal was Karrer’s sixth of the season. Canisius came back to score just two minutes later as the Bulk made a costly error. Tom Occhuito got around the Buffalo defense and put the ball past goalie Mark Celeste who had come out to cut down the angle on the kick. The ball was booted high into the net and Canisius now trailed by one. The Griffins tied the score it 88:14 as Occhuito found Billy Moran alone in front of the Buffalo net. Moran wasted no time in blasting the ball in and sending the game into overtime. Score knotted The Bulls came out strong at the start of the first overtime period and Karrer, Buffalo’s leading scorer, scored on an indirect kick with an assist from George Daddario. The Buffalo football team came onto the sidelines to cheer on the soccer Bulls but they could not prevent Canisius from knotting the score once again. Moran scored his second goal ofthe contest on a long shot after a pass from Floss. Buffalo fullback Wain Reid prevented another goal from being scored later in die period as he blocked a shot after Celeste had fallen down on the wet Rotary Held grass. Neither team could score during the last ten-minute overtime as the defenses played well. There were few good scoring opportunities during this period but they were not taken advantage of and the match ended deadlocked at three goals apiece. The Bulls defeated Houghton by a score of 2-0. The win was Buffalo’s second shutout of the season. Karrer and fullback Mike Man scored for the Bulls. Allan’s score came on an indirect kick from midfield as Houghton suffered its first defeat of the season. Buffalo now has a 3-2-1 record. The next home game is today against Ftedonia State College at 4 pm. Buffalo plays at Buffalo State on Saturday afternoon at 2 pm. in another Big Four contest.

But Agostini took control of the match and went on to score four straight pants. With the match tied at three apiece, the doubles team of Todd Miller and Ted Baughn were unable to do the job, as they suffeted defeat, allowing Cortland to take the lead 4-3. With the match .still up for grabs, the combination of team captain Blumberg, and Steve Blanck teamed up to conquer Tom Underwood and Tim Minotti, 6-3, 6-4. When asked about his match play Humberg commented, “I really didn't think that they were too good.” Following a game [dan of “one point at a time,” Blumberg was the only Bull to win both his singles and doubles matches. With five matches completed and four to go, Blumberg, the only senior on this strong UB team, Aptimi, Buffalo’s number one player a year ago it home twice in the final game of his ebo fins year was sidelined with tom muscles in his rammed doubles match to clinch it.

The Spectrum Wednesday, 5 October 1977 . Meteer i' ,& Spectrum Staff Writer ' < . ,,, 1 , •’ '. Two local products haw; burst opto the tennis scene this year to lead their respective teams to success. Freshman Todd Miller and sophomore Mimi Weiss jftr playing first singles for the Bulls in their first year here. %>Y\: yffi''. '< Miller played second singles during his first three years at Sweet Home High so he feels a tot of pressure being top man at UB. Weiss, a transfer from Geneseo, has played in the number one spot since her sophomore year at Hamburg High S<%ool and doesn't feel any pressure ! holding that position for the Bulb. Miller spent up to Hflpcn hours a day this summer in preparation for this season. The practice seems to have paid off though, since he has lost only twice this year. Miller, Who has won seven matches, was The Spectrum’s Athlete of the Week last week, sharing honors with soccer goalie Mark Celeste. At 5 feet, 7 inches and 130 lbs., Miller doesn't try to overpower his opponent. He uses a hard serve to keep the.presaure,pff himself but relies on his steady groundstrpkes and excellent (endurance. “If it’s going to take three or foiir hours to play a match, i’ll play it," he said. But he doesn’t play a defensive game. “When I am playing good tennis,” he claimed, “it’s because I’m playing really aggressive." . J-J * wu-fiiiiuca mcKJianu Kri- Weiss, a slender 5Toot, JO inch southpaw, uses a graceful two hand backhand to disarm her opponents. She learned the stroke when she was young and wasn't strong enough to use the one hand backhand. Weiss also lias a powerful forehand but sometimes gets too anxious and hits it wild. “I’m more secure with my backhand,” she revealed. "It's more natural for me because ( don’t use the (standard) Kastern forehand grip.” Amazingly, she has never taken tennis lessons, although she did receive some limited instruction from a family friend. Ironically, one of Miller’s two losses this year was to Mimi’s brother, BQ1 Weiss, who Miller calls, “the best player in Western New York.” Both, Miller’s brother and sister played tennis at UB. Last year, sister Amy won the Intercollegiate Athletic and Related Instruction Award. Todd and Mimi have different views on the advantages of having an older brother Or sister that plays tennis. Miller concedes that, “They got me interested in tennis,’’ but he doesn’t practice much with them. Weiss, on the other hand, practices frequently with her brother. Block to atadykgg Miller selected Buffalo because he wanted to get settled and see what he could do in tennis. As a management major, he finds that road matches are particularly time consuming and often make it tough to study. Weiss, who transferred to Buffalo to take advantage of this University’s superior nursing and tennis programs, agreed that road matches cause studying problems. On a recent trip to Brock port, Weiss convinced her towel dry the wet courts, so that the time it took to travel there wasn’t wasted. Weis* wasn’t happy with the tennis program at Genesee. “It was a pretty poorly run program,’’ she said. “We didn’t play many matches and the coach wasn’t very much into tennis. It was worse than high school, and that really turned me off." Miller, too, likes the fennis program here at Buffalo. “This team is definitely a big surprise,’’ha said. “1 didn’t think they’d be half as good as they are.” Being placed in Division III has really helped the squad, according to Miller. “If we were to get two or three good freshmen next year we could hate one of the best Division III teams in the country,” be said. “We’re just a notch below that right now.” In any case. Coaches Tom LaPenna and Connie Camnitz are fortunate that these two tialented athletes elected to perform for the v v Bulls. , , ' .= �CLASSIFIED INFORMATION AO $55.00.

Kawi, Assistant to the Vice President for Student Affairs. This informal gathering is planned for Squire Hall the week of October 17 when representatives of fraternal organizations formerly at this institution will discuss the advantages of “Greek” life on the college campus. >n forbidden When the ban was lifted last October paving the way for reinstatement of frats, a committee headed by Kawi, comprised of 'acuity, students, and staff, drafted a resolution forbidding the denial of membership to any person on the basis of race, creed, national origin, age, or disability. This guidelines also outlaw initiation rites known as “hazing,” which recently have caused mental or physical harm to pledges. Kawi’s major concern about fraternities and sororities is that they “contribute to the quality of life on campus in a positive way, not only socially, but emphasizing academic performance of their membership.” Kawi added, “They should enhance civil responsibilities by undertaking community and University affairs.” He further indicated that an Inter-Greek Council will be established when fraternities and sororities are formalized. Its purpose will be to plan and coordinate the fraternal organizations. The question of housing such organizations has lent itself to many possibilities. Presently, four alternatives are under consideration according to Kawi. Fraternal meeting houses only may be constructed, students association with a frat would live outside its quarters. Another concept is that each frat would request a number of meaning on-campus dormitory rooms in a specific area. A third and likely possibility is that frats will rent off-campus houses or apartments, as was done by Greek organizations at this University prior to their exile in 1962. The final but long-range alternative would be the installation on the Amherst Campus of what is commonly known as 'I ralernity Row.” While Kawi terms this “a concept rather than a reality.” the master plan for Amherst does not allocate space for such a facility. Further construction of buildings and houses on University property would have to be approved by the University’s Board of Trustees in addition to being approved by the state. p mm wuiuu coupon ■ 50$ ■ ■ OFF ■ ON LARGE CHEESE&PEPP.PIZZA| CHRISTY’S i I & I SUBS I PIZZERIA 1 837-1212 WE DELIVER 836-88851 I - 3045 BAILEY AVE AT KENSINGTON J The Spectrum is published Monday.

Quite a few of the loose females are “in season.” according to Pleanor Bovak, who works at the busy corner, crossing St. Joseph’s school children. MAIN AND HlfATH recently been - the “One day I counted seven males on one female (dog),” she said. “The poor thing, every lime she’d move, they’d move.” This activity has reportedly been going on for ihe last two weeks. The fertility period of female dogs is regulated by the eslrous cycle, reoccurring every six months. "A male dog can sense it for darn near a mile,” reported Thomas Collins, director of the local Socle.v for ihe Prevention of Cruelly to Animals (SPC A) Though dogs are actually fertile for only one week, the accompanying identifying odor can be detected during the week before and week after, according to Collins. Thus, a female in heal is hounded for three weeks. Judging by the amount of dog-frolicking on campus, a number of area females have similar cycles. kovak figures that it’s one out of five owner* who let their dogs run loose. Labelling hersell a do;’ lover, she urges students to keep their dogs tied up “Something should be done about those dogs,' echoed a student living on I nglewood Avenue “They’ve been running free all over the roads.’’ In her ten years as a crossing guard. Kovak has witnessed five dogs killed by cars in the Main/Lnglewood area Several dogs “hang out” in the alley behind F actory Outlet, she informed, and dash rigfil out into Main Street traffic when they spot (or smell) a female across the way. "I’m always afraid that they’ll get hit or cause a terrible accident,’’ she related Fighting among males is another problem at this lime and Kovak fears for the school kids, noting. “Dogs are quite vicious when they run in packs.” Owner apathy cited Ten to twenty-five dead dogs and cats aie removed from city streets each day, estimated Carl Williams of the Buffalo City Animal Shelter lie blames this on the owners, staling, “There’s too much apathy .” Numerous complaint calls come fiom the student neighborhood, he added.

Because of this, and the fact that students who find it difficult to live with the rule can move off campus or transfer, the administration has refused to change its stand. The alternative for students who don't transfer is to work together to gain visitation rights In the past students at Niagara held In a ny demonstrations and rallies in support of a change in the rule In 1 1>74, about three hundred students went as far as occupying an academic building at Niagara is that the library is too noisy.

Rather than let a the matter go to court committee was formed to examine the “Quality of Life” at the university. The committee, composed of students, faculty and administrators, was empowered to make a recommendation on the issue of co-ed visitation. They voted for “limited visitation” by a large majority.

WILLIAMSVIILE In the Tronsirown Plaza Arrests made On August 14, two federal marshals arrived at the church with court orders for Beyer and Cline, ordering the two of them to sunender to federal authorities on the following Monday morning at 9:30 a m. A press conference was immediately called at which Beyer and Cline announced that they would not surrender. The court orders were burned. The Buffalo Draft Resisters Union held a meeting at the church on the evening ol August 17 to discuss wha the response would be to the arrival ol the fBI agents. All agreed that direct confrontation with the police should be avoided. By the morning of the 18th, hundreds of people had gathered outside of the church. At about 12:30, 32 local police and federal agents arrived. Fights broke out at the church entrance resulting in nine arrests, including that of Cline and Beyer who was held on the assault charges. Arrest expected At his trial 1969, Beyer contested that he had acted in in self-defense after having been hit by a federal agent with a restraining chain. The court sessions ended with his conviction and sentencing of three years in prison. Beyer appealed the conviction, lost in 1970, and then decided to emigrate from the United Slates while free on bail. Now Beyer seeks to return to this country on October 19 or thereabouts after seven years, five of which have been spent in the quiet ol Bancroft, Ontario. On October 19, 1967, he turned in his draft card to the Attorney General’s office during the March on the Pentagon. The Attorney General then was Ramsey Clark. This October 19, exactly ten years later, Beyer will return to Buffalo with an attorney to defend him. That attorney is Ramsey Clark. Beyer recently told Mike Healy of the Courier-Express that after seeing a continual flow of friends go home under amnesty programs of Presidents Ford and Carter, he decided that he didn’t want to find himself someday “a 50 year old man still in exile.’’ Fie continued that he would face whatever punishment he had to and that he “expected to be arrested immediately.” TOOK �Changes turn over Amherst shuttle experiment mismanagement at University Press by Joel Maycrsohn Spectrum Staff Writer University Press (UP) is now “repenting for its sins” and, under a new income offset budget, will begin to serve the University more efficiently, according to Business Manager Marie Bernard. UP, a composition and graphic studio, develops resumes, aids in the design and printing of posters for campus organizations and tackles large projects such as the school yearbook The Buffataman University Press has never been run in the black and last year showed a substantial loss of $23,000. This year, through the assistance of the student corporation. Sub Board I. UP is operating under a budget which hopefully will prove income offset meaning revenues A new Amherst shuttle service will be implemented during the week of October 2. 1977 on an experimental basis. The shuttle bus will run from the Ellicott Complex to Hamilton Loop to Governor's to the Flint Loop and back to Ellicott. This service is designed to relieve on the Number 2 overcrowding MA1N-AMHERST buses, and also to improve service for students who have only ten minutes between classes in Ellicott and the Academic Spine area A new bus stop for the shuttle bus and the Route Number 6 AMHERST-RIDGE LEA bus is being planned in the tunnel at Ellicott. When this occurs, travel within the Amherst Campus will be best accomplished by using the shuttle bus or Route Number 6 bus. During the trial period, the shuttle service will run on Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p in. Also. Campus Bus Service wishes to advise that due to safety, traffic, and insurance regulations, passengers may board the buses only at authorized bus stops. Once the bus has left the stop, the drivers are not allowed to stop on roadways to pickup passengers. will equal costs. The financial failure of University Press to date has been primarily due to “mismanagement.” according to a Sub-Board spokesman. HP's previous business manager resigned last spring in the face of HP’s turmoil. Financial scrutiny “In the past,” according to Sub-Board Publications Division Director Bill Kinkelstein “University Press had been a completely autonomous organization and there was no formalized policy to check on it.” In response to this. Sub-Board issued UP a strict set ol guidelines, including an operational handbook specifically defining the roles and processes of every aspect of University Press. This year’s Business Manager Marie Bernard welcomed the change and feels that “through belter operational guidelines University Press can function more effectively ." Sub-Board will now keep a close watch on UP’s financial situation including a monthly evaluation of UP’s fiscal status. Also, I inkelslein will meet weekly with UP officials as part of Sub-Board's continual monitoring of the organization The staff of University Press welcomes the scrutiny of Sub-Board Production Coordinator Cheryl Pestell said she is "glad" Suh-Board is watching more closely “We can and sometimes do lose sight ol the general trend.” she said. “Sub-Board’s observations will hopefully enable University Piess to move in the light direction Business Manager Marie Bernard echoed Pcstell's sentiments, saying by closely working with Sub-Board. University Press will become a value u " Sub-Board instead of a liabdily ‘Fay for what they get' The effects of the previous financial difficulties at UP have not been passed on to the students or HP’s customers, according to Pinkelstein. “Sub-Board has absorbed all outstanding cost through a series of line changes.” he observed It appears that University Press’ operational changes will result in a better quality product and cheaper rates for its customers. Users of the Press will no longer be forced to pay a Hat rate ol $ 1.50 per hour for design and composition work The late charged foi I each job will not be directly related to the type ol work performed. According to Cheryl Pestell, HP’s Production Coordinator. “Users of our service will now be paying for exactly what they gel, nothing more or nothing less.” UP’s workers will now be hired as needed rather than on a salary basts, thus drastically reducing overhead Despite the cutting of one full-time production worker. Pesiell feels quality will improve. There are now two “managers” instead of one, both dedicated and responsible for the quality work being issued to the customer. All the changes in UP’s structure do not assure success, but as a Sub-Board spokesman put it, “If I didn’t think it would work, I would not have recommended for a continuation of the organization.” Bernard was optimistic, stating, “If problems do arise, we will know about them in September, not in June.” She went on to say, “Hopefully, all the misunderstandings have been irohed out and UP will continue to serve an important function to the students and the University.” W—mmm—mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm—mm _ DUE TO TREMENDOUS STUDENT DEMAND THE DEADLINE HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO CORRECT YOUR LOCAL ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER IN THE SUB-BOARD SPONSORED ~ 1 STUDENT DIR ECTOR Y | sue LOCATIONS: Sub-Board I Offices, 312 Squire Hall, (Main) and 112 Talbert Hall (Amherst) and.

University bus budget falls short of necessary dollars The University bus services budget is approximately S200.000 short of the amount needed to operate busses loi the 1977-78 school yeai. although the Stale Division ot Budget (DOB) has piomised the University the remaining funds. Accoidmg to Vice President for Finance and Management I dwaid Doty, "The minimum amount ol money needed to run the buses this year is approximately Sb 15,000."

According to Doty, “This cut was lost in the much laigei problem ol the State's balancing its budget last year." No buses, no classes Doty, who realized the problem last year, said “We could not live with it, or operate with this year's budget." said Doty Director ol Bus Services Roger McGill said, “How could we have classes without buses'" The allocation ol exlia money was immediately arranged by Doty, and approved by DOB The money would come out ol this University’s “General Savings Budget This money is allocated To i salaries " Jenson and wages and ends up unspent because faculty 01 staff members resign, leave, or ate tired Doty said, “This is money not spent, and in essence us saved by the University." The savings budget is gencially used to offset the following year's expenditure. Next year's bus budget is already being computed and Doty estimates it will come to approximately SX00.000 “I’m pretty sure they won't be pruning this item this year." said Doty. Costs rise One of the reasons that the bus budget is rising is because Blue Bird costs arc steadily increasing The contract is a three-year binding agreement where the cost of a Blue Bird transit bus will go from $I7.‘H) per hour to S2I.25 in I 1)? 4 and a yellow school bus will increase from SI 5.95 to SI 8.90 per hour. This cost includes the salary of the drivers, gasoline, operating costs, and maintenance. Blue Bird was awarded this contract by a scaled bid opened in public A major point emphasized by McOill. Doty and Vice President for Finance Paul Bacon was that in no way were services being altered because of the confusion in funding. Doty said.

Sandbags could shield them against the falling buildings hut not against the radiation. Their eyes melted in their sockets and dripped down their cheekbones. Their skin crusted with third degree burns and their bone narrow dissolved. They screamed and screamed until their tongues caught fire and blood spurted forth. Mothers clutched their babies and felt them disintegrate in their arms. When the corpses were lined up by the few survivors, none could be identified because they were so badly burned and charred beyond recognition. Members of the House of Representatives in Washington should be forced to watch War Games until they melt into their leather upholstered chairs. On Friday, the House defeated by a 297 to 109 margin a proposal by Democrat-Liberal Ted Weiss of Manhattan barring funds for production or deployment of the neutron bomb. The neutron bomb concentrates on destroying people, slowly, while leaving buildings and bridges and other modern wonders intact. Called an "enhanced radiation weapon," the warhead would supposedly deter the Soviets frattacking Western Europe (with the emphasis on Western). It was designed to kill attacking soldiers while "sparing" civilian areas from damage, enabling friendly forces to move into blast zones as quickly as possible. This new, extremely efficient, destructive device has been labeled a defensive weapon. All this is irrelevant. The use of nuclear weapons has always been regarded as a last resort to decisively terminate international conflict. Because it is so efficient, because it is small enough to be fired from a Lance missle, by NATO troops, for example, this nuclear weapon could conceivably be used in a limited war. Limited wars are those that are currently being fought in different corners of the earth. There has never been a time in which limited wars have not been fought. So-called progress, especially in African and South and Latin American countries, has become synonymous with the detainment or killing of large numbers of people. The authorization bill of the neutron bomb for the Energy Research and Development Administration is worth $2.67 billion. The State Department would surely love to recoup some of those funds, at a savings to the American people, of course, by selling the bomb to leaders of foreign nations. Fond as he is of public executions, Idi Amin would be eternally grateful. This would be his newest toy. At an exhorbitant price, he would invite the international media to Uganda, and then the whole world would watch as he melted the inhabitants of entire villages. Prime Minister John Voorster of South Africa would be next. With a neutron bomb, he could relocate entire shantytowns without having to build a thing. He would simply burn out one population and move in another by truck. Nobody could accuse him of wasting time or money or building materials. Think of what a beautiful city Beirut would still be if the Christian Phalangists and Palestinians had tossed neutron bombs instead of heavy artillery at each other. The Israelis could settle the Left Bank in peace because the Palestinian refugees would emigrate to northern Lebannon. The House's approval of funds for this new, efficient killer comes after the same approval by the Senate in July. It is now up to President Carter to decide upon the production and possible deployment of the neutron bomb. Hopefully, his NATO allies will tell him that he is playing games with the American people by turning down the B-1 bomber and then pressing for funds for this . . . Carter is playing War Games. We must be thankful that he did not play them in time for Vietnam.

This is not however, the easy way out. because now we have even increased competition between students for these limited amounts of space Then, for some reason, it quickly turns into a racial question as Tin Spinmini has stated problems minority realizes the Everyone students and women have had to face because ol past discrimination.

Thank you Bren Kline While I am not a religious person. I am nevertheless Jewish. It appears to me that the issue raised by "I’at ('. Roman" (who. according to the respective registrars at both CB and Buffalo Stale College, has never been a registered student at either institution within the last four years) is not one of religiosity but one of racism and anli-Seiiiilisiii. This is clearly illustrated m "Roman's” statement that UB is “becoming an appeasement center for minority students" The S/hitmiii 0/17/77). While "Roman's” attack has been focused on Jews, it is important to note that all minorities have been fired upon. a matter of is not simply also a matter of relationships and a questions ol power. "Minorities” are often oppressed minority Being a numbers. It Repugnant anti-Semitism by To flic hdHor Re I’at Roman's last epistle. It has now become apparent to even the dullest among us that the issue isn't the granting a few holidays, but a particularly repugnant brand of anti-Semitism (Is it possible to have an unrepugnanl amt-Semilism?) Sad, very sad, too Mr Roman thinks that since so many peopleagreed with him, he had obviously hit it right He has never spoken with me and 1 think he couldn't be more wrongly informed. Mis seal against the "overbearing" minority ignores the fact that he belongs to an overbearing majority! A majority that became through an incredible capacity tor the most squalid conditions. 1 suspect that Mr Roman has never considered that many people belonging to ethnic groups have been minorities that have overborne at some time or another, fought against the prevailing organi/alion in order to assert their cultural integrity T he tendency in others ts to be crushed, however, because they are not representative of the majority. Me is free, therefore, to call other people names, abuse them on masse. It makes one who is little become big try one breeding in trampling on the feelings of others How does it make Mr Roman feel to have it suggested that his minority garnered their cultural integrity by simply breeding 9 Does that make him feel as good as his remark about our Jewish comrades being "overbearing" made them feel? If Mr Roman is-incapable of discussing the issue at hand, that is, the amount ot cultural and religious divergence that can be absolutely granted while maintaining a semblance of social cohesion, he should take his demagoguery and go join the silent majority. His majority is obviously the same majority that opposed the American Revolution, civil rights, and what have you Psshhaaw w on t hese majorities. Mr Roman might go home for a while and think about his minority status, not only cultural, but metaphysical.

Seminars are I . 1 Your editorial of September 28 concerning nuclear power made two main points: firstly, that since so much money has been spent on nuclear “it will never go away,” and secondly, that the risks involved are unknown, and should be researched more extensively for that reason. Both points artfallacious and misleading. Firstly, it is precisely because so much money has gone down the nuclear path that many people are beginning to recognize it for the economic disaster that it is, and that in turn will play a minor role in the demise of the industry. The Vice President of America’s third largest actor manufacturer was quoted in The New York Times of September 2 I as saying “In about two years you arcgoing to see this industry disintegrate. We have yet to show a profit.” 1 might add that the drop in reactor sales, from 30 per year in the early ‘70’s to 2 in 1976, seems to indicate poor prospects of ever approaching a profit margin. Your second point, that the risks are unknown, is even more misleading. The risks are very well known, the insuperable problem is how to reduce industry will claim that they have been those risks minimized: others, (30,000 recently in France alone), will argue mat they have not.

People have gone so far as to songs write about telephone related issues. Currently popular Telephone Tine by The Flectric Light Orchestra and Telephone Man by Mary Wilson. “I have a phone on the wall in my bathroom,” said Lynn West, who lives off-campus. West is not the sole individual to have a phone m an unusual place. It can people, anil “I couldn’t live without it,” exclaimed student Jani l ox. Having a phone has become an ; Tie line service at this University restored Tie line phone service at this University has been restored to most organizations after alleged student abuses forced the Administration to substantially cut service last year. President of Student Association (SA) Dennis Delia said he "refused to accept the idea that the students are solely responsible for the exploitation.” Delia inferred that Administration abuses also took place. He claimed “students were the only ones punished but not the sole abusers.” Delia and Assistant Vice President and Comptroller William Baumer reached an agreement in which tie line service was restored to The Spectrum Community Action Council, University Union Activities Board Student Association. New York Public Interest Research Group, Millard Fillmore College Association, Student Bar Association. Inter-Residence Council Business and the Graduate Student Association. Delia described tie line service as "a dead issue because it was solved. There is no reason to keep arguing. We are perfectly happy about the situation and they (the administration) are perfectly happy AM radio stations are be quite convenient when on the toilet or in the shower, she commented. Other placement suggestions for a phone might be in the laundry, bedroom, kitchen, workshop and family room. student , about it too,” Sneaky and sleazy To some people it is not solved. Director of Oroup Legal Services David Brownstein has two major objections to the termination of lie line service in his office. Brownstein exclaimed. "The Administration cut tie lines out rather arbitrarily, paying no attention to SA arguments. Secondly, the student government was very subjective in the of lie lines." Brownstein added that the Administration took the service away and the Student Association had to negotiate to gel it back, "This was a sneaky and sleazy way to operate.” Originally the problem of student abuses occurred because tie lines were being used for personal calls. This busied the lines for hours and important calls could not be connected. Student organizations with access to tie lines, now pay a Hat rale of S27.00 per month lor unlimited long distance calls anywhere in New York Stale or Washington. D.C. Phony monopoly On March 18, 1976 the Federal Communications Commission that telephone customers install their own equipment without paying service charges to the phone company. This decision gave rise to a competitive market, one that will be beneficial to the American consumer and the economy. One competitive retail store is Phone World in Amherst. Their phones are sold instead of rented. "We have just about any style the public might want, including the “figure Phone” with calculator, digital clock and daily calendar," sa i«.l employee Janet Zichettella. A source stated that Phone World and other businesses similar to it are a "thorn in the side" to Ma Bell, “but they can't do anything about it, because that would be a monopoly.” At Olson I lectronics, the consumer may buy a new or “rebuilt” phone. A rebuilt phone is a little cheaper and functions as well as a new ruled can phone. New York Telephone provides customers a myriad of services Their phones are designed for individual needs as well as colors to match most any decor. “Early American” and “Mickey Mouse" are just a few styles that come with Rotifry or push-button dialing methods. Special phone adaptations are available for the handicapped, volume such as control with amplification for those speech or hearing difficulties and hearing aid adapter or artificial larynx for those vocally impaired. Some of these can be purchased at New York Telephone. Olson Electronics and Phone World. Another service provided by New York Telephone is “Custom Calling,” four encompassing convenience services and ranging from $2.17 to $6.45 per month. Call Wailing “It's great for the single working woman.” said Cynthia Gelfand, who subscribes to the service. If someone calls while you are already on the phone, you will hear a soft “beep." You can put the original caller on “hold,” answer the second call, and then switch back and forth between conversations. Call Forwarding. You can be reached away from home by pre-dialing the number where you are be found. Calls can automatically transferred after a few rings. Three Way Calling: You can dial a second number, adding to the person another conversation. Speed Culling Saves time and trouble by pre-registering up to 30 frequently called numbers Dial just a few digits for local or distant numbers and your phone does the rest. For a fee of 85 cents per month, privacy is possible even with an extension phone. The "exclusion key” is inserted onto the phone, preventing anyone in the house from cutting in on the connection. Whatever became of the picture phone? “It was used on a trial basis in Washington. D.C. and in Chicago, then phased out.” said (Irani York Ithel of New Telephone. No one seems to know just why. Phone service has come a long way since the days of Alexander Graham Bell. Today, he might be ama/ed at his invention.

Weiss had some difficulty with her serve in the later stages of the match, partly due to fatigue and partly because of the icy rain that swept the bllicott courts.

Winning five of the first six matches, the Bulls clinched the win early allowing the match to be abbreviated due to the threatening weather. As the cold September winds blew across Rotary Courts, the red hot Bull performed in typical fashion as they won their sixth consecutive match. Perry came out firing to keep Miller off balance ami soon pulled ahead 5-1 in tlie first set. Miller tried to rally but the damage was already done and two quick games later the set was Perry’s. Iking behind is something with which Miller rarely has to deal After winning a close first game. Miller seemed to put it together as he won the next game at love. With his Roscoe Tanner serve back in form. Miller accd Perry twice in those opening two games ol the second Black cloud for Miller only Dave the Myers, undefeated Bull this season, continued in his winning form as he polished off Vince Infante 6-2, 64 Myers, a junior who is playing in his second year, is just two matches away from a flawless season, four other Bulls won easily, including Onn Agostini, who embarrassed his Geneseo counterpart 6-0, 6-0. But then the weather secured profound effect on his game as Miller repeatedly missed easy shots and serves. Perry capitalized on Miller's mistakes, and evened the second set at two games apiece. I rum that point on it was all Perry. After two doublefaults by Millc r. It was easy to the outcome predict Perry cruised to a 6-3 win in the second It was a cold day in Buffalo for the Blue Knights, but perhaps even more so for UB’s Todd Miller, who suffered a tough loss to Dave Perry, the number one singles player for Geneseo. Miller has lost only twice in three years, both times al the hands of native Rochesterians.

Monday, 3 October 1977 . The Spectrum . Page thirteen �sportspaige by Paige Miller Copy hditor I usually hale to say “I told you so," but I told you so In my column last week I said, “Don't miss tomorrow’s soccer match against Cleveland State." Most of you didn’t take my advice. You missed the match by the thousands unless, of course, you came disguised as empty seats. What you missed was Buffalo’s 2-1 victory over Cleveland State, the seventh best soccer team in the country. You also missed the biggest win in UB soccer history. And forgetting all that, you missed one hell of an exciting soccer game. But you have another chance today. You can go see the soccer Bulls play Canisius at Rotary Field at 4 p.m. Canisius is 1-2-1; Buffalo is 2-2. Both teams are battling for the Big Four title. The two teams played to a l-l tie last year, so each is looking to prove that it is superior. After the big victory over Cleveland Stale, the Bulls’ spirits have been quite high. So high, in fact, that they might get overconfident. “One of the things I've got to do now is bring them down," said Bulls coach Sal Esposito. “But I think they’ll be okay.” - Weather wreaks havoc Recently, the Bulls have also been having a little trouble in practice. “We haven’t been having good practices lately because of the weather." Esposito said. “It's tough to run in the mud. You've got to be very wary of pulls, strains, twists and the like We haven't been going full speed in practice." Jim Rudolph, who can be the Bulls' most prolific scorer when healthy (he scored a hat trick against Syracuse), hurl himself at practice more than a week ago and had to sit out lor a while Although his absence didn't hurt the Bulls against Cleveland Slate, they would certainly like to have him back. Friday Rudolph reported that he was ready to return to action. The Bulls' leading scorer this year Iras been Mark Karrer. with four goals. Karrer, a grad student, is taking advantage of a new NCAA rule which allows grad students to finish their playing eligibility if they are still at the institution at which they were undergrads. Karrer is an adept dribbler and passer, and it seems that many ol the Bulls’ attacks begin when Karrer gets the ball at midfield Today, he will be guarded by Canisius star Fran/ Beckenbauer Buffalo stars Karrer is aided by speedy wingers Steve Feeney. Luis A/cuc and Rudolph (when he is healthy). All of them have the knack of being in the right place in the right time and have picked up many goals that way. as evidenced in the Cleveland State game. Buffalo’s defense which nearly collapsed towards the end of the Cleveland Slate game, has looked extremely sharp on occasion, especially in the shutout of Syracuse, is led by fullbacks Wain Reed. Mike Allen and Alan Derner. Reid, who hails from Jamaica (the Jamaica in the Atlantic Ocean, riot the one where you change trains on the Lung Island Railroad), has been spectacular, clearing almost anything that comes his way. Derner and Allen have been merely steady and effective, if unspectacular George Daddario. at midfield, also has been quite effective. His specialty (it seems to me) is sliding to kick the ball away from an opponent, or to protect the ball when an opponent tries to steal it from him. Newcomer Ramsey Ouartey also looked very sharp at midfield. Celestial and Celeste Freshman goaler Mark Celeste made several difficult stops in the Cleveland Slate game, and looks like he could be one of the stars of the future for the Bulls. Despite topping a nationally ranked team, the Bulls will not be ranked in the State’s top ten for a while, Esposito explained, because the rankings are based on results within your Division, and the Bulls have yet to play a Division III team However, for the lime being, the Bulls may be excused.if they claim they are number one Miscellaneous: Students will be admitted free to today's game upon presentation of a valid ID card. After you've all enjoyed the soccer game you might want to see the volleyball team's home opener at 7 p.mjn Clark Hall. Former Bulls ice hockey goailender John Moore is currently trying out with the Chicago Black Hawks of the National Hockey League. According to Buffalo hockey coach Ed Wright. Moore has an excellent chance of making the team as a backup for incumbent Tony Esposito. The baseball Bulls finally got to play Cortland after sitting for twelve rain-filled days, and split a doubleheader there Wednesday They won the first game, and almost won the nightcap after scoring four runs with two out and none on in the seventh to send the game into extra innings, but lost on an eighth inning Cortland homer. The base.ball Bulls were rained out of a doubleheader against Canishis on Friday, prompting Joe Ryan to speculate that the only reason it rains is because the Bulls pul on their uniforms.

They should be a cinch to repeat as Big’Four champions. ' Page fourteen . The Spectrum . Monday, 3 October 1977 For their exceptional play in their respective sports, freshmen goalie Mark Celeste (soccer) and Todd Miller (tennis) are this week's Co-Athletes of the Week. In the soccer Bulls' stunning 2-1 victory over seventh ranked Cleveland State, Celeste turned back L ■ \ ' Cokei the Vikings 32 shot bombardment. First singles player Miller won four matches this week, stretching his record to 6-1. In his last effort. Miller turned back his Canisius counterpart 6-0 and 6-0. Field hockey Bulls lose, 5 Alter being dominated by Brockport in the first Buffalo's field hockey team came back with a strong second half, but still lost the game. 5-0. Brockport was ranked fourth in the slate last year and it was evident early that Brockport was still as powerful as they were last year. Brockport controlled the action from the opening face-off and scored two goals, only a few minutes into the game. UB made many mistakes m their own end, including failing to clear the ball when a Brockport player put it past UB's goalie Jean Mane Neal off a scramble In front offense Brockport's well-disciplined kept pressure on the Bulls for the whole first half, and scored its fourth goal on a penalty shot which Neal had no chance on. UB was able to stir up very little offense in the first halt, and their play was often sloppy, but the second hall was a different story. half, The (iolden I-agios opened up the second hull .is strongly as the first and scored very quickly while controlling play Then Buffalo started to play its brand of ball, instead of Brockport's and the game quickly turned around. IIB had much stronger offense in the second half, but didn't make loo many shots and thus were unable to score Coalie Neal also played very well in the second hall when she handled twelve shots on goal and made some tough, close-in saves. This year’s team has improved greatly ovei lasl year’s and is getting belter with each game Coach Betty Dimmick said that the second half ol the Brockporl game was more an indication ol I'U’s potential than the first hall As the learn plays more, the coach feels that they will continue to impiove.

They escaped with a 2-1 victory and what probably is the biggest win of tiieir five year history. The win was a very electrifying one for the Bulls, as Cleveland State had entered Tuesday’s contest with an impressive 4-0 record, including a win over St. Louis University, the number two ranked soccer school in the nation. “I’m very ecstatic,” exclaimed coach Sal Esposito. “We had everything to gain and nothing to lose.” Bulls halfback Mark Karrer, who was All-New York State last year was also very happy. “This was the biggest game of my life,” he stated “To beat them after last year (a 13-0 UB loss] and after they beat St Louis means a lot for our team.” Displaying what a disgruntled Viking player described as “a very fast game which is not our type of game,” Buffalo jumped out in front and never looked back. Bulls build lead Fullback Mike Allan sent a long head pass to Steve Feeney who was racing toward the Cleveland goal. Feeney’s scoring attempt was blocked by Viking goalie Fred Bass, who could not hang on to the ball. As a result, Karrer, who was following the play, booted the loose ball into the Viking net. “1 just wanted to kick the ball as hard as I could,” explained Karrer. Six imputes later, at the 11:21 mark of the first period, Buffalo scored again. Winger Feeney found halfback Luis Azcue and fed him a perfect pass between two Cleveland players. Azcue broke away and kicked a high shot over the goaltender’s arms to give the Bulls a 2-0 advantage. Cleveland could not find Buffalo’s net as they sent two shots wide of the mark and the half ended with the Bulls ahead by the two goal margin. The Bulls played a different brand of ball in the second forty-five minute session as they tried to protect their lead. “This was part of our game plan,” said Esposito. Smoking and buzzing “They came out smoking in the second half,” said Feeney. “They just could not score.” The Vikings may not have scored enough goals to pull out a victory but they made things tough for the Buffalo defense as they continually buzzed around the Bulls’ net. Gunther Sheib picked up Charles Carey’s rebound and sent it into the Buffalo goal to cut the lead to 2-1. The score came at the 59:52 mark, when there was still plenty of time left. Cleveland State continued to apply pressure but was stymied by the Buffalo defense and the brilliant play of goaltender Mark Celeste. After a shot had ricocheted off the goalpost. Celeste made an excellent save on Carey as he kicked the ball through a maze of players. Celeste came up with another good save a few moments later as a Viking player broke in toward the net and sent forth a hard, low shot that Celeste blocked as he fell to his knees. Reasons for success Buffalo was then able to hold off Cleveland State the rest of the way and the jubilant Buffalo bench jumped for joy as the game-ending horn sounded. Esposito was pleased with the poise of his players. “We kept our cool and didn’t get rattled. This was very important in that it helped us protect the one-goal lead,” he said Karrer and Feeney gave different reasons for the Bulls’ success. “We just messed them up,” said Karrer. “Our defense was the key We had four men back instead of three,” added Feeney. The Bulls lost at McMaster University on Saturday afternoon The final score was 4-3. Karrer, Feeney and captain George Daddario scored for Buffalo. The Bulls now have a record of 2-2. The next home game is scheduled for Monday afternoon at 4 p.m. when Buffalo will meet Canisius College. An inquiry into the Buffalo Police Department’s reported “90-minute delay” in responding to last June’s rape of a 13-year-old girl has brought to light a serious manpower shortage within the department which has left police unable to handle numerous calls at once. The Buffalo Common Council, acting on the request of Councilwoman Shirley C. Stolarski, questioned police department officials about the delay problem at a Legislative Committee session Tuesday. The council was originally supposed to hear from police officials a week earlier, but Inspector William J. Frawley was emmersed in teaching the department’s new central booking system to the rank and file. The new system, slated to be instituted in early October, may worsen the delay problem if additional manpower is not obtained, according to police department testimony. The council adjusted the agenda however so that Mr. Frawley could be on hand to answer questions espoused by Council members Stolarski and William A. Price from the University district. Help! Officially, the discussion dealt with the efficiency of the “911” emergency number Inspector Frawley admitted that there are times when the demand for assistance is simply too great to handle. He aaaerted that officers try their best to be at the scene of a crime and claimed that the 90-minute delay was actually between 35 and 40 minutes. In fact, he insisted that only 19 minutes elapsed between the time the call came in and a car was dispatched. However, he failed to take into account any time lost by the caller not being able to get through the busy “911” lines. Frawley claimed that at times of manpower training, community events such as the Allentown Art Festival, the police must divert men and cars from other precincts to the area of the event. Thus, a lack of men and cars in some areas results. More delays Frawley saw the situation as a definite problem and admitted similar instances of delayed response. He said that when a number of calls are phoned in at the same time, priorities must be set quickly The rape victim situation was originally reported as an attempted assault The rape would have received prompt attention had it been described as a “rape,” said Frawley. The inspector saw more manpower as the only solution to the problem. Another speaker at the meeting was police officer Anthony Diamond of the tenth precinct. He reiterated the need for more manpower and the difficulty in setting priorities when more than one call is reported. He further claimed that the delay problems don’t only come up during big events, they occur quite frequently, being most prevalent on Fridays and Saturdays. Diamond pointed out the cruel reality of the problem, recalling on August night when eight calls came in to an officer at one time. The inability to handle all the calls resulted in the death of a man. Diamond told the Council. Officer Diamond suggested a program called “mandated manpower” as a possible solution to the problem. It appeared to gain support from most of the council and especially Price “Mandated manpower” is a system that uses statistics of past crimes to determine where and when most crimes will occur. Officers could then be called in to assure enough manpower for the high crime periods. Paying the policemen would be the sole cost of the program. Officers would be paid straight time, not time-and-a-half for their overtime. Diamond claimed that this type of program has worked for the fire department, and would make the city safer for citizens and policemen alike. Serious situations Officer Mark R. Stambach, business manager for “Blue Line.” the Buffalo policeman’s journal, was on hand representing the police department. Stambach hoped the meeting would assert the need for more policemen in the city, lie called the manpower situation “critical” and added that there have been instances when a citizen has called more than once about a particular crime with the police still unable to rescind within a reasonable amount of time. Diamond said the Council’s help was needed now in order to prevent further tragic incidences. He further asserted that with the institution of central booking, officers making an arrest anywhere in the city will be forced to go downtown to charge the offender This can cause only more delays one more patrol car will be unavailable in the city. On Election Day. Diamond claims due to the need for a policeman at each polling place. 85 percent of the precincts will have only one patrol car. Price suggested that the "mandated manpower” idea be studied, especially by the budget director. The matter was then tabled for two weeks when it will be brought up again. Police Commissioner Thomas R. Blair was not present at the meeting, but was represented by one of his deputies. This did not sit well with the council members, especially Price who felt Blair should have been present. — Amherst Campus Needed shelters on the way Bus shelters will be placed at two locations the Amherst Campus according to Assistant Director of Facilities Planning John Neal. on One shelter will be built at the Flint Loop, the Norton-Capen-Talbert complex, and another will be placed at the Hamilton Loop behind Norton. “They have been ordered by the Purchasing Department and will be standard acrylic post style with dome shaped roofs,” said Neal near Vice President for Facilities Planning John Telfer explained that the delay in bus shelter construction is due to specifications concerning their placement and the materials used to build them. When asked about the cost of the shelters Telfer said, “A barnyard figure would be 510,000 a piece.” The shelters will measure 10 by 45 feet and will be “purchased through the State,” according to Chairman of the Purchasing Department, Bacon The shelters are in Buffalo on October 31 and will be anchored directly to the concrete, facing west to provide protection from the elements. expected to Paul arrive Permanent, for now When asked whether the shelters would be permanent fixtures, Telfer replied, “They are permanent anyway. for this year The construction of the shelters has taken much longer than we would have liked it to take.” One student said, “It’s untenable for there to be no shelters on a campus as exposed as this one.” Shelters are not needed at the Ellicott Complex because of the underground location of the bus stop, and a wooden shelter already exists at the Governor’s Residence Halls. One faculty member commented, “If the shuttle bus system is going to work some accommodation should be made for shelters.” �this support uiul lail victim to the same fate as Foschio. Clearly, how Eve handled this touchy situation would be the determining factor in his bid for Mayor. Eve resolved this controversy with finesse and tactfulness. He accepted Crangle’s support, but also announced that he would not back him for re-election to the Party County Chairmanship. By doing this. Eve hoped to get the best of both worlds. He obtained the valuable support of the party machine, while still appearing to be independent. If Eve is to achieve his goal of making Buffalo the attractive city it has been in the past, he will have to use his talents to their fullest extent. This is an integral part of the Eve creed. Buffalo has some very grave problems, some No more bosses Eve feels he has mandate to change way city is run by Marshall Adler Spectrum had to. The other candidates in the race were not the type of men who could turn the city around. His love of Buffalo and its people was so great that he felt obligated to run. Staff Writer Arthur Eve, fresh from his upset-victory in the Democratic Mayoral Primary, believes a new day is dawning for Buffalo. He feels that he has received a mandate from the people to change the way the City has been run. His primary victory over Les Foschio (backed by Erie County Democratic Chairman. Joe Griffin Crangle). and Jim (reportedly backed by former Peter J. Chairman County Crotty). proves to him that the people of Buffalo want a new type of leadership. They arc no longer willing to let City Hall be run by "political bosses.” Eve firmly believes that he can type the new of provide leadership that the people seek. In an interview with The S/H’ctrum. the Assemblyman discussed why he ran and what he plans to do if he is elected. Evening things out Many political experts were shocked when Eve announced that he was running for Mayor. The Mayor’s office is generally considered to be a politically dead-end job. as evidenced by the inability of current Mayor Stan Makowski to win re-election. Eve. being an intelligent and ambitious man. was thought to have his eye on bigger game such as a Congressional seat. Eve stated that he truly did not want to run for Mayor but felt he Onward and upward The major goal of the Eve administration will be to provide strong and effective leadership to make Buffalo an attractive city in which to live. Assemblyman Eve that acknowledged presently Buffalo is in deep trouble. The (light of industry and people from the area, the recent Richard Long murder case, and the Blizzard of '77 have left the city financially and emotionally depressed. It will lake at least eight years of hard work and dedication to revitalize llic city; nevertheless. Eve believes that he can do the Job. The key to his plan of making city government more efficient is Eve's “Citizen's Committee.” whose will be to job it recommend city lop level employees. This committee. Eve observed, will be able to prevent the nepotism, cronyism, and bossism that he feels has been In previous prevalent only administrations. The prerequisite for a |ob in the Eve Administration be will competence, the candidate said. Eve also wants to open up city government to anyone who has worthwhile ideas. Stating that in previous administrations many of the brightest people of the city from the excluded decision-making process because they were not part of the parly machinery. Eve plans to use people from every conceivable source. He feels the greatest natural resource Buffalo has is its people; he wishes to utilize this resource to its fullest possible were extent. Independence Despite the ambitious plans Assemblyman Eve has to improve the city, the primary reason he won the Democratic nomination for Mayor is generally considered to be his independence as a candidate in the race. Griffin and Foschio had tics with party leaders, while Eve was his “own man." Throughout his political life, Arthur Eve has achieved success in spile of. not because of Joe Crangle. Eve said he did not need of want the support of the party machine because he had his own independent organization that had served him well in many races for the New York Stale Assembly. After he won the Primary, however, this situation dramatically Joe changed. Crangle, his long-time political enemy decided to support him. Tli is left Eve in an unusual situation. Foi the first time in his career, he was being supported by the party machine. He could cither repudiate Crangle's support and lose voles by appearing supercilious, or he could accept of which are cleajly, 'beyond the ability" of any one man to solve. confidence, But. with his intelligence, and independence. Eve appears to have a chance to accomplish this task. Throughout his career Eve has overcome huge obstacles in order to succeed. Eve stipulated that he has survived the attempt of two of the most powerful men of the state (former Governor Nelson Rockefeller and Cranglc) to oust him, lambasting the State's handling of the Attica Prison rebellion. Now he faces an even greater challenge frying to change the fortune of a dying city. He will lace problems that make his current dilemma of how to handle the Cranglc endorsement seem minor in comparison.

Buffalo Head Coach Bill Dando confiscated the man’s material and ordered him off campus grounds. The Bulls season opener against RIT is next week on Saturday, October 8 at Rotary Field. The unnamed perpetrator was first noticed by D,ando, whose Bulls were practicing near Acheson Hall. Dando instructed defensive line coach George Carlo to investigate why an unknown person was taking notes concerning the UB team. Carlo ordered the defensive line, known as the “Bang Gang,” to circle around Acheson to surround the suspect. When Carlo confronted the RIT scout, he refused to state his business or show any kind of identification. After claiming he was diagraming plays fdr an intramural team he attempted to get away, but ran right into 6’-4”, 245 lb. “Bam Bam” Finch. When the flustered scout moved in the opposite direction, he was confronted by 6’4”, 230 lbs. Dave Florek. It was at this point that the entire Bang Gang ? enveloped the intruder. y i * ' ‘Shitting a pickle’ “The guy was shitting a pickle,’’ commented Carlo. Carlo and his “Bang Clang” unit then escorted the perpetrator to the presence of Dando. When the seventy squad members circled around the suspect, he handed over twelve cards diagraming Buffalo pass patterns. Dando then banished him from University property. While it is not illegal to “spy” on another team, there is an unwritten rule that the unethical practice should be neither done nor condoned. If this unorthodox and atroceous act has any effect it will serve as one more reason for the Bulls to win their first game since the V program was dropped in 1970. i The fact that an RIT coach would drive sixty miles to view a UB practice indicates just how concerned their coaching staff is about the Bulls. ‘This is not very ethical,” commented Dando. He further added, “I can’t believe that they’d stoop that low. We haven’t gone into their backyard.” Dando concluded that he had every intention of calling RIT about the episode and pursue the matter. Meanwhile! when the Bulls and RIT knock heads next Saturday, you can be sure that the “Bang Clang” will be there to greet ’em. Marshall Rosenthal * .

Page three �Non-surgical birth control being tested Clinical testing of two new non-surgical methods of birth control, one for men, one for women, is now underway in Philadelphia and New York. A reversible female sterilization method has been designed by Dr. Robert A. Erb, physical chemist at Philadelphia’s Franklin Institute. Erb has just been granted a patent for improved procedure and apparatus for the method, which has been used successfully on laboratory rabbits on a laboratory scale. Preparations are being made for testing on women within the next three months, according to The New York Times. Erb’s method is based on a hysteroscope (which includes fiberoptics and a light) that is inserted into the uterus to permit viewing of fallopian tube ends. Catalyzed silicone is injected into the tubes and becomes a rubber-like solid within a few minutes, thus blocking the tubes and preventing conception. Each silicone plug, however, contains an integral tip and ring, which can be used with a special instrument at a later date to withdraw the plugs and restore fertility. A patent was issued to Erb in 1974, but it specified the use of preformed plugs rather than silicone. Promotion of the invention has been delayed pending this new patent. Franklin Institute has secured —continued on page 26— Two students denied undergrad trsnscripts The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit has ruled that a private college was not required to furnish transcripts to two students who defaulted on their student loans and received a discharge of them in bankruptcy proceedings. The case was initiated by two students who graduated from Webster College and applied for the transcripts to enter graduate school. Webster College refused to provide the transcripts, citing a provision in the student handbook which states that a transcript cannot be released until all accounts are paid. The appeals court, which vacated the judgment of a lower court, said the Bankruptcy Act prohibits creditors from using legal processes to institute or continue any action to collect debts as personal liabilities of the bankrupt, but that private actions that may have adverse consequences upon the bankrupt are not part of the policy contained in the present law. A concurring opinion by a member of the appeals court panel observed that Webster College merely had declined to confer any additional benefits, other than the knowledge already obtained by the students, by furnishing the transcripts. The opinion noted that the college’s action did not force the debtors to pay their discharged debts, and that the property they obtained - their education could not be taken away or lost. The opion further noted that the college should not be required to enhance the benefit by furnishing a transcript when it had not been paid for its services. The appeal court’s opinion was handed down Aug. 24 in Robert Girardier et at v.

The Senate is also responsible for setting up task forces to tackle numerous problems. The new Director of Academic Affairs will “coordinate academic clubs and activities and oversee them,” said Fischler. The job also entails heading an academic task force to improve standards, and sitting on the committee which charters the Colleges.

President Keller authorized Director of Instructional Services and Testing. Dr. Alan Kuntz. to conduct the phone survey. "The president was concerned with the number of students not returning to this University." said Vice President for Student Affairs Dr Anthony Lorcn/ctti. Kelter said. "At a lime when everyone is concerned with a split campus and bussing, you know good and well that there are problems you have to compensate for." He referred to counseling and advisement as examples of services designed to case the transition. Motivated by this split and other factors such as a decline in Millard Fillmore College enrollment, approximately ten to twelve people made calls to students who were enrolled in the Spring semester last year as lull lime day students but did not return. The process began Friday night and continued until Sunday afternoon. Approximately 1 500 ol the 2500 non-returnees were reached. Results of a preliminary report given to Ketter showed lhal 222 students had graduated or fulfilled their requirements over the summer, thus accounting lot their failure to appear. Approximately 341 students said that they did not return for “academic reasons." Ketter explained that academic reasons included various factors. Of the 341 who cited such reasons. 80 had not been accepted into their chosen department. 45 claimed this University’s workload is too heavy and 60 reported that the program in which they were interested was not offered here Other reasons stemmed from particular programs being more attractive somewhere else (53 students) and being on an official leave of absence (37). 288 students cited "economic reasons" as the major factor in their decisions. Of these students. I6‘) informed University officials of financial The Inter Residence Council elections were held on Tuesday, September 28. The following people were elected: semester. 107 decided to than return to school. Of the 263 former students who answered "personal reasons." 57 got married. 45 moved away from the Buffalo area, and 19 admitted the weather was a deterrent. Keller said he was very surprised that so few students rejected this University because of the weather. Oliver reasons included 34 students claiming "health reasons" either family or themselves and 58 noting the University atmosphere was not condusive to their studies. Only 8 people refused to answer at all. Keller slated. “I expected more to convey dissatisfaction with the University being too big or not sympathetic to their needs. I was very pleased with such a low number." The overall conclusion reached by officials was lhal the phone survey yielded some very positive results. One factor that pleased officials was that one quarter of the students who cited academic reasons were either taking a year off or were enrolled somewhere else for a semesicr and thus planned to return. Ketter claimed. “The people lhal were spoken to were very pleased that we were conducting this survey and were generally pleased with this University." University officials generally believed the method of a phone survey to be tar superior to sending out a form letter, which “people would Just throw out." according to Keller. "The feedback on career patterns was worthwhile." the President observed, "but to date no comparative studies have been examined." Keller expects year-to-year data comparing non-returning student figures to be included in the final report. "One further point." Keller said, "is to remember this survey was taken of students who chose not to return." Right now the Public Information Office is planning to conduct a selective sampling of people on campus. Currently, they are stopping students, asking them how they feel about this University, and taping the information.

Parties are function of the an important Colleges since they promote interaction between fee-payers and outside members of the University community, according to a spokesman for Rachel Carson College. Free parties for all are an expensive option, and "we are working with very limited funds." said Bob Baron, residential coordinator of College B. Restricting the parties to feepayers would be less costly, but this would discourage outsidepeople from discovering the types of activities the Colleges offer, according to Baron. Another option would be to buy the alcohol through Food Service, the only liquor licensed organization in this University. If a great enough volume of beer is bought. Food Service has the power to waive the license fee, according to Assistant Director of Food Service Don Bozek. as has been the custom with beer blasts. Th is would allow the Colleges to charge al the door, "but it is questionable whether any College could buy enough beer (upwards of 8-10 kegs) for Food Service to waive the license fees when "we've never bought more than 5 kegs for a party before," sakl a spokesman for the College. Friday, 30 September 1977 The Spectrum . Page five . �of control Well intentioned human Target To the Editor: To the Editor. Jerry Rubin was a guest speaker at this University last Sunday. He spoke of his former revolutionary days, and at a new spiritual revolution; based on a three-part plan of health, sex life and success. He also said that the people of the SO’s were in a fog. I believe that the people of the 60’s were in a “similar” fog, and so too, are the people of the 70’s, for that matter. The people of the SO’s were “well intentioned” humans, in pursuit of their American dream (made so clear through national advertising). Along came the “children” of rock and roll, the ones who spilled their guts in learning to grasp an emotion. They realized that some vast mistakes were being made. The people of the SO’s believed that life is sacred, but only to a point. The “children” of the 60’s knew I am encouraged by your recent article, The Theory Behind Amherst: Control of a University. out By your investigation and research you brought to reacting with are front what a lot of people bewilderment or bitterness. Over and above the disorientation most people feel during the first few weeks of a semester, one experiences a special disorientation and social isolation when at the Amherst Campus. You made a courageous attempt to let people understand in concrete form why they may feel like a fish out of water when at the Amherst Campus. However, you have helped to bring out in the open a serious question for people who are now aware of what’s happening. That is, what to do about increasing control over our education and social The emotional 60’s tried to tear down all the towers of Babel in sight. Unfortunately, it was a monstrous job, and like all good TV programs, became irrelevant, got boring, and were cancelled. The 70’s is an age, where eveyrone is trying to keep the peace. The fog of the 70’s is the mystery which surrounds the proper meaning of peace. “Shit man, I don’t even know what I want.” what do we want, what are our needs. Rubin says that our needs this control.

You have not backed off from relationships. implications of what this control may mean, totalitarian control and a serious threat to human freedom is so frightening yet so disguised and so subtle, that a person expressing this view may run the risk of having his mental fitness questioned. To assume that there is indeed an attempt to control, one must also concede that there is someone who The that all life is sacred. this question and have risked possible accusations questioning mental fitness at expressing your views. For this you deserve admiration and respect. Why is this theory of control taking concrete form at a large University. I believe it is because a free and independent education process is so important in a highly technological society to prevent the existence of an unbridled power elite and in questioning the policies of such an elite, students are therefore a prime target of control. The American worker and actually anyone who attempts resistence to control are also prime targets. What reasons could possibly exist for wanting to control us so badly. What is it that scares them so much that they would spend so much energy planning, and dollars into controlling people? The answer 'is so simple. Do people remember what fascism and economic exploitation has meant to the human condition in history to the present time? That human history includes a strong resistance to oppression which necessitates control to survive. Perhaps we can create new forms of resistance to new forms of attempts at control.

Senator Pat Moynihan: Mr. Sprawl, in planning the Amherst Campus, did the student disturbances in Buffalo have anything to do with your design? Sprawl: Senator, I don’t know where that miscalculated, off-base, wayout, ridiculously absurd theory came from, but when I find out who in my office spilled the beans, I will assure you Moynihan: is that a yes, Mr. Sprawl?

Now Mr. Sprawl,'! feel you are leading the witness. Sprawl: Senator Kennedy, 1 am the witness. Kennedy: Precisely, and you are leading yourself off the deep end. Now, the committee would like to know, is there anything on that campus that is really functional? Sprawl: Well sir, the bridges all have heavy steel railings on both sides. Kennedy: In what sense is that functional, Mr Sprawl? Sprawl: Well, Senator, it’s functional in that students who are driving their cars home when drunk will not veer off into the water, and drown their passengers. Thus they can remain functioning as students. Hence, it is “functional.” Kennedy: I don’t like the tone of that remark, Mr. Chairman. Moynihan: And I don’t like that crack about the UN, Teddy. McGovern: And I don’t like people not calling us Senators, especially other Senators.

Mr. Roman has clearly chosen to ignore all of the letters in favor of having the Jewish high holy days off. Instead Mr. Roman this time has dearly offended the intelligence of any reasonable human being by labeling a whole group of people, a Now, really Pat, whole religion as “self enough is enoughFor those reasons as stated above I cannot understand why The Spectrum would print irresponsible and offensive material. Besides Roman’s letter being an insult to a person’s intelligence, it is also clearly racist, narrow mindejl, anti-scmitic, and bigoted. I wish that The Spectrum staff would read letters a little more carefully and decide on theii merit before they are printed. And as far as Mister Roman’s “friends’’ are concerned in regards to his recent poll... it is a known fact that people will stay with other people who share their own beliefs, morals, values and basically their own opinion. Therefore, nothing plus nothing still equals nothing. David S. Pemell '•* * To the Editor: Kleinberg Take a stand To the Editor: Re; Pat C. Roman’s latest letter (which serves only to “flog a dead horse”), I too resent the fact that the academic year got off to (at best) a sluggish start because of the days given off for the Jewish High Holy Days. However, 1 applaud the Jewish students and the dedication they must have shown for their faith. What I really resent is that Catholics and other Christian religions do not take so vocal a stand for their faith! Name withheld upon request Think before acting To the Editor- In response to the letter of 9-28-77 written by the executive committee of IRC with regard to the sheriffs I D. cards, let me state the following: The editorial that was written in The Spectrum which put down the concept of the sheriffs l.D. cards didn’t take away the opportunity for students tolget those 1,0. cards. Students, if they are foolish enough, can still get down to the sheriffs department and get their official sheriffs l.D. card; however, there should be no reason in the world why one should want or need to do so. Anyone with an inkling of an Idea as to the concept surrounding civil liberties and legal rights would know better than to approach a few enforcement agent and virtually offer his or her fingerprints. (Not five minutes prior to this writing, I spoke with Dan Kinley, IRC president and I asked him if he was aware that students were requited to give a thumbprint in order to obtain an I join with you hi denouncing the reductionistic by implications racist) Newsweek cover featuring the Bakke controversy. I, however, must dissent from your position that there is any less resistance to women’s civil rights than there is to black civil rights. 1 think if you would have analyzed the situation more- carefully you would have seen how far off the mark this is. The backlash against the feminist movement has been strengthening not weakening in the past few years. As two cases in point I would offer you (I) The success of the stop-ERA forces on the state ERA question in November 1976 and (2) the cutback on federal medicaid money to finance voluntary abortions. 1 think that if you are truly serious in your support of women’s rights you would recognize that the opposition to these rights is very real and very serious. It is only with this recognition that you can begin to bring about women’s rights. As a white woman and a feminist I am not about io say that women*'; oppression is any greater than black oppression. I think that the “my pain is greater than your pain’’ game is a very dangerous game. The game is dangerous because the pain, the oppression it generated from the same place. The game is dangerous because it has oppressed groups competing against each other rather than working with each other to help alleviate each other’s pain. The game is dangerous, also, because the various problems of society are tied together in a vicious knot. For example, the problem of cutting back medicaid abortions hits black women much harder than white women because in proportion to their percentage in the population black women are much more likely to be poor and therefore be unable to afford safe, legal abortions. Poor white women, of course, have just as many problems paying for abortions as poor minority women. It is clear that the Bakkr case will have drastic impact on the struggles of both blacks and women and it is therefore equally clear that blacks, women and those who generally support the struggle for civil rights should join forces and work together for (and -• .-V, Maft L. ‘Newsweek’ reductionistic . *■ ■ To the best of my v applied to a person or object but never to a '; non-entity. “Name Withheld*’ is a nonentity.

Every genture he made got cheers and applause from the crowd, who seemed Music Staff already be well-acquainted unique style of humor. to Steve Martin does the name ring a bell? If not, let me describe him by saying that he's a "crazy guy." A "ramblin' kind of guy" and last Friday, September 23, he rambled into the area to do a show at Melody Fair in North Tonawanda. The evening began with a fresh approach, in the form of a film starring Buck Henry and Teri Garr as patrons of a restaurant where Steve works as "the most absent-minded waiter." ,lt was an amusing piece, although much of the effect was marred by the movement of the screen on Meloday Fair's circular, revolving stage. The stage supposedly turns so that everyone in the audience will be able to see everything, which, of course, means that no one sees it well. When the eight-minute film was over, stage hands had to take the screen down before Steve came on, causing another short intermission and creating a rather disturbing lack of continuity. Then came what everyone had been waiting for Steve Martin, live. The well-dressed, date-night, SRO audience gave him a standing ovation as he walked — - — with his Steve Martin, in a series of bits and monologues, creates a character that is totally his own, and is just as totally a fiction. His style includes a deal of mime, or at least the knowledge on his part of the importance of the body and the face to comedy, as well as the joke itself. Every moment, every expression, is planned to give an effect, and none of it was lost on the fanatical crowd. He was "into it" all the time, never breaking character, creating a highly polished show that, though humorous, somehow left one feeling vaguely dissatisfied. Although the revolving of the circular stage .nearly made viewing the movie a farce, Steve himself performed well in the round. He circled the stage several times, albeit his leaving the microphone gave those of us under the balcony a tough time hearing. He also performed his various "magic tricks" (such as the "napkin trick" and the "candle trick," featuring Bernie the candle) once on each side of the stage for easy viewing. AH of Steve's "funny comedy gags" were done, including "Happy Feet," his Carter impression ("Doesn't Carter look like the type of guy who should have a banjo?"), "getting small," bunny ears, balloon animals ("This is V.D.! If you see this on a toilet seat, DONT SIT DOWN!"), juggling, the arrow through his head, card tricks ("King of Hearts, come down and dance!" which, of course, it literally did) and, for an encore, "Excu-u-use ME!" But they were all performed word for word, exactly the same way as the first time you heard them, or the second, or the third . . or the way your friend did them for you, although he probably lacked the certain — . something that Steve has. different, and never did we get any insight into the "real Steve Martin" (if there is one). The only time he toned down the character he was playing was while performing a beautiful and well-executed banjo solo, during which the crowd got a bit restless. If one was there for sheer, cuf-and-dried comedy and nothing else (like the female I chanced to sit next to, who informed me that "the man is insane" at least ten times in the hour and fifteen minutes he was on), they were probably well-satisfied. But if one expected a bit extra from a live show, as did I, they most likely found Steve Martin to be a slight disappointment a "crazy guy" who'd better get some new material soon, to prove that he's not just a flash in the pan or he'll burn out sooner than the rest of us. John Sebastian began the show, with an — — He also included some bits that would necessarily have been censored for the tube, such as a discussion of the "fart layer" ("It's way up there, and that's why we have to protect the ozone") and the gameshows he's done, "Celebrity Assholes" and "Bowling for Shit." However, since he's gained most of his popularity from T V, it's obvious that he needn't resort to such humor to be successful. Altogether, little of the act was new or uninspired forty-five minute set — though he did do a good encore piece on the harmonica. He seemed to sense that the crowd was mostly just interested in seeing Steve Martin, and his major contribution to the evening was an excellent retort to a rude, impatient member of the audience 'That's okay, I remember how it was the first time I smoked a joint!" — At University Center Ray Leslee is re-appointed to Theater post by Tom Dooney Spectrum Arts Staff been re-appointed has recently composer-in-residence for this University's Center for Theater Research. Because of a lack of Center funds and Ray's own alternative plans, the position was temporarily vacated, but this talented musician is back for the year. The school and the Center will be getting the best of the deal, because Ray Leslee can do, and has done, bright and original compositions and arrangements for theater pieces. The Center is a University recognized theater foundation that is, in fact, detached from the theater department. The Center is dedicated to the exploration of new techniques of creating theater, and its core is a group of research fellows who are subsidized by a grant from the estate of Sidney B. Pfeifer. Many of the fellows are graduate students the the University who teach classes and pn'orm n Canter and Department productions. Underbade.<tes also work. Ray Leslee receiving credit, at both the Center and in the Theater Department Ray Leslee composed the score for the successful production of Hamlet that was produced this summer by the Center in Delaware Park. For two weeks, audiences sat near the lakeside stage listening to the saxophone riffs of the lyrical and jazzy score, dancing to the combo that Leslee himself put together. This small group, keyboard, sax, percussion, and bass, produced sounds that swayed with the trees and sang with the wind. To celebrate the re-affirmation of a productive working relationship, Leslee is creating a piece for the Center for Theater Research that will be an experiment in combining music and theater. Greek mythology Ray has called his new piece a "concert accompanied by a play." That is an interesting phrase, but what does it mean? Well, assisted by Stephen Porter, Director and Choreographer tor the piece, Leslee has devised a scenario based on tales from Greek mythology. This story line will be the springboard for improvisation by a company of actors, dancers, singers, and mimes. These performers will submit their creative abilities and help to form the piece. Lcslee's music, in turn, will be a foundation for the actors' stage work. The best of the musical and theatrical improvisations from six weeks of rehearsal will be presented to the public. "The music happens when I get in sync with a play. It just happens," said Leslee. "With this piece, I am making music visual." It is appropriate that the first offcing of the University's theater season will be a premiere production. The freshness of style and composition of Leslee's work should be a refreshing experience. Myths: The Ttpestry will open at the Harriman Library Studio, Main Street Campus, running from October 24 through 30, and again from November 4 though 7. Ray Leslee, once again sponsored by the Center, w'l make the music and we, again the audience, will have the pleasure of listening-watching it. �Upcominr J k' Allan Block returns w'yt (Notice: Larry Coryell has been cancelled.)

Friday, 30 September 1977 Prodigal Sun �Documentary examines Imaginative art two sides of Chilean revolt Nouveau exhibit at Albright-Knox by Kyle Steenland Spectrum Elmwood and Ferry, and is sponsored by the Latin American Arts Staff This September marks the fourth anniversary of the bloody military coup in Chile. We are fortunate in Buffalo to have the opportunity of viewing a new film which goes explaining a long way towards why and how that military coup took place. The Buffalo premier of The Battle of Chile will be on the Main St. campus tonight at 7:30 in Diefendorf 146. The film will also be shown tomorrow night at 7:30 p.m. at the Unitarian Church on Solidarity themselves, and all the drama of their story is captured on the screen. When I saw this film in Toronto recently, the largely Chilean audience gave The Battle of Chile a five minute standing Committee. The Battle of Chile was made by some of Chile's best film makers, who are in exile from their own country. Indeed 10% of Chile’s population has been forced to leave the country since the military takeover. The film covers the six months before the Sept. 1973 military takeover, as well as coup itself. The Battle of Chile is a documentary done in the best documentary tradition. The Chilean people speak for the Spectrum Arts Staff It's been called ovation. Conspiracy and subversion Chile in 1973 was a society on the brink of civil war. The Allende government, supported by the poor and working people, was opposed by most of the middle and all of the upper class.

Yet, when one understands the ideas behind the art of Robert Rauschenberg, at on exhibit the now at Albright-Knox gallery, one can't help having respect and admiration for this genius of aesthetics. One of the primary paintings in his career, called "White Painting" consists merely of three panels of white paint on canvas. It is an autobiography of his thoughts at the time of its conception. He wanted to wipe his slate clean, (therefore the white paint) and break away from the common forms of abstract expressionism creating art from real objects, rather than illusive. After that, he painted another entitled, "Black Painting", which set a pace for a recurring theme. painting you've This is, as probably guessed, three panels of black paint on canvas, except this time there is something hidden. are yards of newspaper articles, put there to let the imagination of the viewer cetermine what is behind this dull, black canvas. seemingly purpose in art;_ to operate somewhere in the area between art and life. His desire is to bring reality or life into his art. Many of his works depict this unique philosophy. The of effectiveness Rauschenberg's art is not in what a person sees in the object at the time of inspection, but the chaotic aftereffects which result. inevitably Surrealism, to the attempting express workings of the subconscious prevalent in mind. Rauschenberg's work. Alluding to a great interest of Western civilization, the nude woman, Rauschenberg created a full-size imprint (transfer image) of a nude female on a large piece of blueprint paper. He placed a on the paper, shown a on her figure, and reproduced her image, different shades resulted according to the amount of time the lamp was shown on each part of her body.

He has none of Woody Allen's self-parodying looks that scream neurosis at a glance. And he doesn't have that intense, eay-you-alive look in his eye that dead giveaway that this is all a set-up for a joke that Mel Brooks has. Yet David Zucker, along with his brother Jerry and their partner Jim Abrahams, may be the newest king of Hollywood writers. They are the creators of Kentucky Fried Movie, number five last week on the list of the year's top grossing films, and opening in Buffalo on Oct. 5. "I don't think we could make any other kind of film," Zucker said in a solo interview this week. And indeed, as it happened, for the last six years as the Kentucky Fried Theatre, featured in a small theatre that the writers built themselves in the back of a bookstore. "We were students at the University of Wisconsin at Madison," he continued. "We started the theatre not because we were theatre majors, but because we had a common sense of humor." Then, what began as a funny idea among friends evolved into a serious business proposition. A year after its opening in Wisconsin, the Zuckers and their friend moved to Los Angelos, hoping to find a larger audience for their brand of far-out theatre. Critical reviews and, more importantly, box-office returns were good. "We weren't sure how it would be accepted," he said, "but it did real well. After that, we started thinking that if our comedy worked, why not write for T.V." — — United Artists signed They appeared on 'The Tonight Show" and artistic control over the movie. "We wanted to handcraft our bits, and since we weren't starving, we were in no hurry," he said. The advantages of doing a movie instead of television, they soon found, were its endless possibilities, "Anything that we can imagine, we can do," Zucker beaned. "In movies, everything is realistic." Naturally, they were delighted. "We start out seriously, then take things one step too far Movies are the best medium for that," he laughed. The result was a series of twenty-two vignettes satirizing movies, T.V. programs, and commercials, and other aspects of contemporary society. The film is aimed at a young audience; an audience that, like the Zuckers, grew up on television. "We're really just like anybody else, we were T.V. watchers. We've just taken everybody's fantasy of scenes they'd like to see and put them on film." T.V. sex One of the most popular sequences, called "United Appeal For The Dead", features Henry Gibson warning viewers of the "five early warning signs of death." "When the end comes," he explains, "do not attempt to operate heavy machinery." In another sequence, a young man and woman having sex in front of the television set attract the attention of a newscaster and three technicians, until everyone, on theT.V. and in front of it, gets into the act. "The Midnight Special" but were disappointed with the results. "It didn't come off on T.V.," Zucker said. "We weren't allowed to have any sets on the Carson show, and our kind of comedy doesn't work just standing out in front of a curtain." They decided then to turn down all T.V. offers and concentrate making a movie. "The first time we went around to studios, we had no chance. Such a low budget film was really under radar screen. If you're unknown, they say to do it yourself," Zucker continued Zucker is very pleased with the performance of Kentucky Fried Movie and, apparently, so is United Artist Studios, because they have already been signed to do another movie. "Alot of the actors from our theatre went on to become television writers. They would come back and wonder why we were still running our theatre when the mowas much better doing television. In the long run, the money is better in film, and it more secure. Most T.V. writers rent their Mercedes for thirteen weeks at a time." David ■THE BUFFALO STATE STUDENT—* UNION BOARD AND WBUF PROUDLY PRESENT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 3 YEARS B.B. King and Bobby Bland made their second 1977 Buffalo area appearance this past Sunday at Meloday Fair. Playing in the theater in the found (though the stage had to be rotated manually), they put on thoroughly convincing and enjoyable show of modern blues. With a warmly responsive and mostly black audience, they proved that the blues has appeal to young and old, black and white. Bobby Bland opened after a couple of poorly mixed instrumentals by his band. When Bobby came up, the band sounded much crisper as Bobby opened with a bluesy reading of the country tune "Tonight I Started Loving You." Bobby went a number of his classics, including the hard hitting "Ain't That Loving You," with his effective use of a hoarse cry. The ballad "I'll Take Care of You" drew strong response of recognition. "I Pity the Fool" was followed by 'The Soul of a Man" from his last album and then took the audience back to 1955 with "That's the Way Love Is." A medley of "It's Too Late" and Stormy Monday" featured some beautiful guitar from Johnny Jones whose catlike tasty playing always adds to Bobby Bland's show. After an intermission and "Honky Tonk" by his band, B.B. King and "Lucille" took over the stage. Having the presence of a blues preacher and pounding his fist to add emphasis to a vocal line, B.B. did a pretty conventional set of songs including "Caledonia," "How Blue Can You Get," "Why I Sing the Blues," and 'The Thrill is Gone." While there were no surprises, B.B. sang and rapped and at times his rapport with the audience ressembled a revival meeting. B.B. is fascinating to watch whether introducing a song with a rap or singing "How Blue Can You Get" for the zillionth time and still getting an incredible reaction to the line "I Gave You Seven Children and Now You Want to Give It Back." During 'The Thrill is Gone," Bobby joins B.B. and they do a medley of blues classics before "Let the Good Times Roll." After Bobby leaves, B.B. does a ballad capping a very satisfying evening of blues. A few observations are in order. The turnout for both of B.B. King and Bobby Bland's concerts this year still prove that blacks will support the blues when they have an opportunity. This is remarkable. Expecially when black radio stations program very little blues. Further support of this was evident when Ted Taylor recently appeared at Ericson's Lounge to capacity crowds. It's goodThat B.B. and Bobby are making regular appearances around Buffalo. Also, in the last few months, live blues in the Buffalo area has increased dramatically James Peterson returned to Buffalo after a couple years' absence. Shakin' Smith has been at the Bona Vista for many years and The Bona will start presenting out-of-town blues acts when they bring master of slide guitar J.B. Hutto and his House Rockers from October 12 through October 16. The Belle Star has been bringing in acts like Muddy Waters and James Cotton. They will be returning there in October, and Albert King will be making a rare Buffalo area appearance at the Golden, N Y. spot in late October James Peterson will be opening his "New Governor's Inn" hopefully in late October and also will be bringing in acts from out-of-town. In terms of blues, the Buffalo area now seems to be in a better position than a lot of places. Hopefully, continuing interest in blues as reflected by support of such concerts the one B.B.

The right-wing opposition turned to conspiracy and subversion, hoping to create enough chaos that the army would step in and overthrow the government. It was well known that the army did not like Allende and his socialist ideas anyway; they were looking for a pretext to get rid of him. Since he had been legally elected and the army was supposed to abide by the Constitution, conditions had to be set up to make the military coup look "respectable". The idea — was to carry out enough sabotage and terror so that it would appear that there was a total breakdown in law-and-order, thus the army would be "forced" to take over. Economic sabotage This strategy worked well. The months before the coup were filled with right-wing terrorism. Military officers sympathetic to the left were assasinated, electrical towers were blown ijp, railroad tracks destroyed, and snipers fired on leftist street demonstrations. The police, sympathetic to the right, did nothing to stop it. Economic sabotage was prevalent, and the black market expanded as a way to avoid government controlled prices. Soon it became difficult to buy common items except at black market prices poor people had a more and more difficult time buying basic necessities. Long lines were a daily struggle. The right-wing did their best to keep goods off the legal market in order to disrupt Chile's economy. They also promoted — from the CIA for those businesses which were closed down. Later the Senate Intelligence Committee confirmed that much of this money came from the CIA. The CIA spent $11 million to finance right-wing activities in Chile during the Allende government (1970-73). This was a tremendous amount money of in an underdeveloped country, where dollars were extremely valuable as "hard" currency. The CIA also helped train right-wing terrorists, both inside Chile and at special camps in Bolivia. Smuggled footage The Battle of Chile shows all this. It shows the activities of the right as well as the huge demonstrations by the left in support of the government. Although clearly pro-Allende, the shows everything that film happened, both on the right and on the left. Differences in strategy within the left are explained the sometimes bitter disputes about how to prevent a military coup are shown on the screen. Indeed, the filmmakers include almost - everything. They have selected from an enormous amount of which footage, footage was smuggled out of Chile after the coup in diplomatic pouches (the film edited in Paris and Havana). The film was not easy to produce. After the coup many of thefilmmakers were jailed.

GREEK FOOD, WINE AND LIQUOR vinyl solutions Stillwater (Capricorn) first, At Stillwater appears to be a conglomeration of rock cliches. The name suggests associations with Stephen Stills and Creedence Clearwater Revival. The lead singer has a nondescript, Type A, rock voice. The songs have titles like "Sunshine Blues" and "Rock-n-Roll Loser." All true, but the cliches are very well produced and skillfully combined. Stillwater does not yet have a distinctive style their sound resembles that of a dozen other bands in their genre, although they have one cut, "Universal Fool," that could have been left over from Kansas Leftoverture but this is a solid album, excellent for parties and not bad for just listening, either, straight rock n-roll with no (frills, pretensions, nonsense). Of the individual cuts that stand out in my mind, "April Love" is a ballad, as nice and soft as the name implies; the only accoustic song on the album and a welcome change of pace. "Mind Bender" appears to be the single from this album; it features a conversation between the lead singer and a guitar languishing in a pawnshop, who sounds like Joe Welsh. My favorite on the album, "Sam's Jam," is a country rock tune with some nice slide guitar. The talking guitar in "Mind Bender" claims "My daddy was a Gibson/My mother was a Fender." Well, Stillwater sounds like their daddy was REO Speedwagon and their mama was the Doobie Brothers; and yoy could have a worse parentage than —EM that. — — Michael Gregory Jackson, Clarity (Bija) Clarity is a Cheshire wind flight of pervasive will, a penetrating masque of auric splendor and indigo simplicity Michael Gregory Jackson is an acoustic shock wave deep in electric vitality His guitar has graced such places as Sam Rivers' Studio Rivbea (The V/Hdflowers series on Douglas) in New York City. Mow, in this, his first LP, Michael pours upon our shores the curve of his highly consummating skill, from the traditions of flamenco firestrum ("Prelueoionti") to the floating collectif of the opening tune, a soft vocal nevertheless intense with stark poetic feel. With Michael on this voyage are fellow Music orators Leo Smith (a brassy sunshine), David Murray (a tenor conspiracy to unmask the over lustered as the true low class), and Oliver Lake (a most fluid multi-reed threat) Masters all, from the darting duel (guitar-soprano sax) of "Oliver Lake to the synthesizer like protiayal of electuc guitar on the communal tribunal of "Clarity (4)."

Bring yourself to the fireplace by worldview's corner as Bobby Hutcherson intensifies your already warm feelings with the deep flame of people's Music The ringing aquatic flavor of Bobby's mastery dances playfully in serious swing, from the fable like quality of the waltzing "Little B's Poem" to the romping cook of "Knucklebean." The band, one he's been working with for the last three or four albums, grows more effervescently together by the moment; both in their explosively beautiful expression (witness, for Prodigal Sun example, the velvet tide of drummer Eddie Marshall's "Sundance Knows"), as well as their individual composing abilities (like pianist George Cable's urban street blues, "Why Not"). Emanual Boyd continues his plasmatic dove song, as his piccolo-like flute in "Til Then" shows. Guest Hadley Calimen adds clean volcanic tenor on "Knucklebean," while a lone drifting whisper soft on strong winds offers a sweet Naima-like opening for "Sundance Knows," courtesy of trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, who appears on his old record label for the first time in years. His work here will bring to some overdue tears. It's nice to see Freddie revive his roots in more than a V.S.O.P. museumwork. One can see more than a trace of all the Dialoges of old, and his Brownie-like memories on bassist James Leary's "So Far," So Good speak for themselves. Miles is Miles, and Freddie is Freddie.

Kraftwork and Donna Summers giving head on. Yes, I think so. Whatever . . . the fact of the matter is that it's not really the dregs but think of it this way: How much of Kraftwork's "Autobahn" were you able to take without falling asleep? Exactly: it's pretentious, repetitious, and those vocals. Blah I'll take Vangelis over this stuff any day of the week. Giorgio Moroder plays all the electronics on the album which was recorded in Munich, Germany, and boy he had better stay away from Klaus Schulze and Edgar Froese. Not that funk and electronics don't mix, but in this recording, it sounds like two robots doing the bump. Come off it. Leave the cerebral and entertaining electronics to the hip people like Schulze, Froese, Fast, Eno, Teitelbaum . . . now, now, now wait a minute. —BN Giorgio, Stomu Yamashta, Go Too (Arista) Go Too perhaps should be called gone too far The overindulgence in funk and poor vocals on this album is terrible. Where the first Go album presented an interesting combination of Stomu's jazz-rock fusion with Steve Windwood's fine singing and keyboards. Go Too provides very shallow listening pleasure. Al Dimeola, Klaus Schulze, and Michael Shneve remain from the original Go, but to no avail Klaus Schulze provides the music with only adequate color tones, while Al Dimeola gets off several fine solos on "Seen You Before" and "Wheels of Fortune." As fine as a percussionist Yamashta is, he's not doing much here. As a matter of act, his arrangments need to pack it up. Before I destroy the album, there are some redeeming factors. For example, the string arrangements of Paul Buckmaster and the admirable drumming of Michael Shneve But, in the end, Yamashta is to blame. This is truly mediocre. Hello Steve Windwood, wherever you are B.N Genesis, Reflection Rock Theatre (Fontana) This import released over a year ago is not just another Genesis greatest hits package I know what I like (In Your Wardrobe)" and "Watcher of the Skies" are not what they seem They are, in fact, alternate takes of the original varsions recorded In 1972 and 1973. "I know what I like (In your wardrobe)" is definitely better than the original. The synthesizer tracks are mixed at a higher level which make the song much more intense. "Watcher of the skies" is really a treat. The classic beginning of course with Tony Bank's playing mellotron is deleted and the song just starts with Peter Gabriel just coming in on vocals. The real treat, however, is in the ending where Bank dismisses the mellotron. Instead, this turns it into a type of jam with Steve Hackett droning away and Gabriel singing while it fades off Definitely a classic version. — Also included on this LP are previously released classics such as "Harold the Barrel," "Harlequin," "The Fountain of Salmacis," and, of course, the Genesis standard, "Supper’s Ready."

The Spectrum Page fifteen �The Grateful Dead, Terrepin Station (Artista) What's not a better time to seek the advice of Mr. Natural, than when in need of a little of that old cosmic poop ah. The address is 315 Bowerey. His flophouse is located above a small rock club. On top a matress ripped and torn sits the old geezer himself perk and to the point. Ml so you want my opinion of Terrapin Station do ya? Well o.k. Have you heard it? If you haven't it's just as well, because it's the most boring piece of huckapoo that I've been subjected to since I was strapped to a chair and forced to watch the movie version of War and Peace. You have no idea how dreadful it was." "You know of course, that this just has to be the last stop. I mean like -who-i is this choo choo onno ca*' :t quits, daddy-o. I have no use tor this advice, because I've refused to indulge in any of this nonsense since the Flamin' Groovies released Shake Some Action and spread joy through my life. I've learned a thing or two from the old days in San Fransico, but you what's your excuse. You've been riding that train for soooooooo damn long, it's getting to the point of hypocracy. How can you tolerate such a wimpy excuse for music as this. Really this is so anemic. I thought my tonearm was gonna get up and go donate a few quarts of ketchup just to quicken the old pulse. It would have probably resulted in failure anyway." "Excuse me I didn't mean to get so worked up. Ya see. I've been hawing doubts about the Grateful Dead ever since Bob Weir went to the butcher's down on Front St. and his tail chopped off. Whapppppl Just like that. Here today, gone tomorrow. Christ, and I'm so sick of watching all those jappy muffettes acting like headless chickens, just because he's cute. What's that gotta do with muzak.

Screaming Lord Such is the best comparison that comes to mind, but at least the good Lord had enought sense to surround his ugliness with talented backup musicians like Jimmy Page. Go Jimmy I" "It's not exactly as if Weir is obsessed with the material he's performing now. As for Garcia well Anthem of the Sun is a great album to accompany a number and that's more his fault than anyone else's". "This is making me miserable. First of all this isn't The Grateful Dead. I haven't figured out who the imposters are yet, but I can tell you for a fact that ever since the Skull and Roses LP, Garcia and the entire ryhthm including that horrid cretin, the rest of the group thinks of as a piano player have been living the lives of beggermen and thieves beyond the grate wall, if you catch my drift. I think Stanley Augustus Owsley the III chartered the flight. Best joke he'll ever play as for Bob Weir, he ran off with this catastrophe named Donna-Jean Cheeses-C. Now he's doing a rhinestone act under various pseudonyms. I don't care." Really, ya know what it is? The Grateful Dead are just like heroin addiction. When it's fresh, it's the best, but when your income can't satisfy your cravings, the only thing you can do is go down with the ship. Let me t? 1 you it's no joy ride and in the end you might as well go kiss a moving four ply because there's just about nothing you can do. Please, have relief) There's always cold turkey and with the Dead that should be as easy done as said. "Sunrise" would make a great test for a Name That Tune you'd contestant. Given a blind fold never test, ever,ever,ever,ever,ever,cver pinpoint that it was The Grateful Dead. It has that same pseudosophistication lately possessed by Fleetwood Mac. As for "Dancing In The Streets", it just isn't like the good old days, when the Dead were able to twist songs into tidal waves of sound. They should have left well enough alone, but the disco tinges should provide further evidence of where their heads are at. "Samson and Delilah" cuts the mustard, but even that needs a shot of geritol." "Side-2 is a genuine comedy. Capt. Trips does the one-step, two-step, horizontal mambo.

This is hopeless; they sound like older farts than RECORDS — .. — ... — — ! Carol* King, Simple Things (Avatar) Nararro, Listen (Avatar) Simple things mean a lot to Carole King. To prove this, she has recorded a new album. Simple Things with the permanent backup band she has .recently acquired, Navarro. Carole makes her point by becoming simply boring a traumic setback for an illustrious and admired artist. Soon, after the Carole King release, her band sends out a debut album, Listen Well, I listened and I thought I was hearing a "do-it-yourself" hypnosis record and not the one by Navarro. I must keep this album in mind for the next time I have trouble getting to Snoozeland. The Carole King lowdown is that she married the co-composer of a few of her songs on Simple Things, Rick Evers. She's obviously very happy for she preaches this universal love for all of mankind and nature to hear, but frankly, my dear, I don't give a damnI Maybe you're getting the impression that I don't care for this record. Carole always made me feel this romantic uplift and she was accomplished at combining folk and pop without sticking in all this contrived philosophy on the new album. When I first heard "Hard Rock Cafe" as a single on the radio, I wanted to throw a hard rock at my tuner. Wow, I thought, this has got to be the corniest Carole King song I have ever heard. Now that I possess Simple Things, for the most part, the results get worse. The tunes are rather meaningless, even if Carole attempts to resurrect them hopelessly. Only on "You're the One Who Knows” and "Time Alone" does she succeed to avoid an excess of idolism and capture a suitable melody. On the former cut, Carole moves more into the rock mode with appropriate guitar solo accompanyment; the latter track is the model for what the rest of the album should have been a love . — song which is memorableand inviting. The bottom of the barrel is scraped on the final song, "One." Coming across like a Norman Vincent Peale reject speech, Carole tells me a few things I never knew; He is one she is one, A tree is one the earth is one - - — the universe is one. / am one — we are one. Whatever kind of infatuation kick Carole King is on, it is harming her music. When she went to Colorado to find a supporting group of musicians, the Rocky Mountain air must have had some sort of cerebral effect. Perhaps, it is the arrival of these musicians, who have been living in Colorado all their lives. Navarro, as they call themselves, presents a unique comparison between their two works, on Simple Things, and on their first record, Listen. It seems that the same gushy symbolism which flawed Carole's album floods the Navarro solo album. It. doesn't take a Wasserman test to connect this contagious disease. Overall, Listen is a poor attempt to record country-rock love songs. Sometimes, it even amazes me how the lead vocalists, Mark Hallman and Robert McEntee, actually remembered the tunes to sing, although I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt that they are tunes. I'm sorry, but there are surely more bands which deserve recording status than this one. Navarro needs plenty of help before they go a second round. On the back cover of Listen is the perplexing comment, "No Sugar or Preservatives Added." No talent or thought either, boys. What Carole King saw in them is a question which she might be asking us on her next album. -Drew Reid Kerr Yass Hakoshima Mime myself."

His throat can pinch a note, and yea hic-up for ya if you think that's corny country. Tammy Wynette's X. And he drinks to excess, George Jones is THE singer these days to admire. He must have many doubts lurking about the underside when he hears all the talk and titles: "Mr. Country Western Music" or "King George." That kind of good natured, good ole boy ribbing can get to a fella sometimes when more good natured ribbing is not what you need. Jones drinks enough for Tammy to want to stay away from him when he's in his spirits. Even though she loves him. A lot of heart and soul goes into a George Jones song. More than any other singer, he has inherited the Hank Williams mantle of my dear drunk country uncle who sings songs of a man torn and shattered by life's experiences.

N.Y. 14173 Karla Bonoff (Columbia) This is not another Linda Ronstadt. Ronstadt, while unarguably possessing one of the great voices in pop, is a frilly, floaty, frivolous package of cloying femininity. Liken better to Laura, when Nyro was the empress of roamin' female souls. Karla Bonoff well knows how to write an emotional song, but is fortunately and knowingly unromantic in her antics. Bonoff plays simple piano solos or uses straight forward band arrangements. The low key used by producer Kenny Edwards is appropriate, letting Bonoff's piano have equal share with her vocals, which probably could not carry the compositions on their own. The listener is at a primary disadvantage, since a multitude of current female singers have grabbed the and best tunes (notably "If He's Ever Near 'Someone To Lay Down Beside Me"), while Bonoff was pursuing her own contract. But as Edwards electrifyingly directs Waddy Wachtel's leads, the album gains control and ground to provide a singular visage for the artist. Bonoff does not belt, she doesn't wear black halters or slug down Tennessee sour mash No. 7. But she does herself good by letting her songs work themselves through, rather than working out on them herself. "Lose Again" is almost hesitant in its delivery, with a shivery breathless catch in the chorus, over that is more convincing in its realism than a full sound a thousand extra takes of a thousand years of voice lessons might bring. I liked the more masculine Kenny Edwards-Glenn Frey-J'D' Souther back up on "If He's Ever Near" better than any combination of , Wendy Waldman, Marie Muldaur, or the other usual sopranos, If as a lyricist Bonoff does not make any earth-shattering discoveris about the ways and woes of love, at least she doesn't blind us with obscure romantic revelations. She is direct, passing up the verbal pyrotechnics for an easy lyricism. Note "Isn't It Always Love": Isn't it always love that makes you cry Isn't it always love that takes the tears away Isn't it always love that takes the tears away You wouldn't have it any other way. Bonoff's best song is "Someone To Lay Down Beside Me," and absolutely searing composition that makes this an unmatched debut by any performer this year (except perhaps Terry Boylan). Its description of sexual pause without true satisfaction is adept in its unforgivingness; Your love is a common occurrence Not like love that I feel in my heart Still you know that maybe what I need Is someone to lay down beside me And even though it's not real This album may not set any new standards, but is stunning for a first, especially from a dangerously used standpoint as a singer songwriter is. accomplished playing and Convincing singing, impeccable production. And you just can't ask tor -Barbara Komansky more. it Chris Hillman, Clear Sailin' (Asylum) Bernie Leadon/Michael Georgiades Band, Natural Progressions (Asylum) Firefall, Luna Sea (Atlantic) Lord, what the Flying Burrito Brothers hath wrought! Chris Hillman and Gram Parsons said, "We've all got wheels/to take us all away." Gram's wheels carried him out on one of those 20,000 roads. Chris was left to fill the gap between Bernie Leadon, Mike Clarke, and Sneeky Pete. "Little Ricky" Roberts sang high and sweet then, just like Gram used to. He weren't no grievous angel, though, and about a hundred bands and tons of sessions later, it seems that neither Chris nor Bernie nor Rick nor Mike can come up with too much that's definitive these days. Hillman has the best sense of humor (sarcasm with bitterness), and his Clear Sailin' is better than either Bernie Leadon's Natural Progressions, or the second from Rick Roberts and Firefall, dubiously entitled, Luna Sea. But even Hillman isn't able to lose his chains of convention. Firefall's first record was admirable; Roberts' soft voice contrasting Larry Burnett's sinuous leads and gruffer vocals. "You Are The Woman." which helped turn the album gold, was light, but well enough balanced by percussion not to detract from the album's overall polish. Bernie Leadon made four platinum albums with the Eagles, but left in an electrical shock. Now both are aimlessly unanchored to any rock capable of giving either a base. While Leadon's partner (Michael Georgiades) breathes and rotates in some personal cosmosphere, Leadon is left to flounder somewhere between ear-soothing vocal delivery and choking lyrics. Glyn Johns is at it again with his echo. He would d~- well to give a little Stones-Who treatment to the American boys. Similarly, Luna Sea has the Lazy ebb-flow of vocals that sound good, and such an incredible lack of whole that it's shameful The same juice that one would get giving Firefall's first a run through the Veg-O-Matic, Hillman is able to avoid his ex's errors, perhaps (ironically) by never having to follow up hits passed. Manassa was as much Hillman as that blonde guy. Page eighteen The Spectrum . . Friday, 30 September 1977 Byrds Crosby’s reunion had David overshadowing presence, but Crosby didn't surpass 'Things Will Be Better." And not to mention 'Time Between." So the quality is obviously there. It's the quantity of it that's teasingly slight. Where you'd want more of Danny O'Keefe's "Quits," or a load of The "Rollin' and Tumblin'," we have rock critic-cum-star Peter Knobler inhibiting the situation with "Lucky In Love" and "Fallen Favorite." At least "Clear Sailin'' is one cut on the three albums that can be deemed outstanding. It's an aching ode suspiciously aimed at Richie Furay (Yes, I've turned my back on your Jesus/And I hope that you understand), colored by Hillman's personal interjections on his own status (I've felt buried, buried alive/Satan, I sure know you're side/And this feeling deep inside/Makes me want to/Shnvel up and die/And I still find myself askin' why.) If you really want clear definition, try the original Flying Burnto Brothers "Gilded Palace of Sin" or Gram Parsons' "Return of the Grievous They have foresight and direction. And beware of stormy seas and other natural disasters. —Barbara Komansky Angel." Prodigal Sun �Pete Townshend and Ronnie Lana, Rough Mix (MCA) The first recorded work by Pete Townshend in almost two years is a message to his fans that he is alive and well. Since Who By Numbers, there has been no new music, no interviews, not even any dirt in Rolling Stone. So with reasonable excitement, I ran to the turntable only to find that this LP was so bad that I had to take it off the platter. Rough Mix is the shared creative effort of Who mastermind Pete Townshend and ex-Small Faces guitarist Ronnie Lane. Who devotees should not mistake this for the solo album that still is to come (an LP with the guitar wizardry on Live at Leeds but with good sound on the record). These two fellow Meher Baba (does teenage wasteland sound familiar?) followers have cut a simple who album which is tightly produced by Glyn Johns else? The opening track, "My Baby Gives It Away," is a Townshend tune reminiscent of "Squeeze Box," only more explicit lyrically. As this song is playing, the first problem with this album arises. One picks up the cover to see which artist plays what instrument on a specific track and realizes that there really is no way to tell. All we know is that "Ron and Pete play various Acoustic ft Electric guitars, mandolins & bass guitars, banjos, ukeleies ft very involved mind games." This doesn't sit too well as there are other musicians listed and credited properly, according to each song, yet we have to ponder if that bass is Pete playing on Ron's song, or is Ron playing both guitars on his own songs, or is it Pete playing hit own leads, or is it - ‘ Ron playing .? ' .. The title track is the third tong to be heard. Eric Clapton is the featured lead guitarist (but with whom is he trading those leads?) and by the time this song is over one is expecting bigger and batter things. And that's when the bottom drops out The very next track it* Ljne number called "Annie," and this song is illustrative of the problem with the record. "Annie" is such a "nice" tong that it> almost diabetic. In contrast to "Rough Mix" which precedes it "Annie" just doesn't seem to belong. It's analogous to following "Contusion" on Songs In the Key of Life with "Sugar, Sugar," by the Archies. Verry ssweet, if you catch my drift. A type of musical vacuum it the result of such an overdose of sugar, so one is driven to pick up the album cover again only to find that Eric Clapton is once again playing, this time on the six string acoustic guitar, and that four other musicians (not to mention the omnipresence of Pete and Ron) are featured on this cut And one realizes that it doesn't matter because this particular song is so beat that all four former Beatles could be singing in the background and it still wouldn't help what your ears have already told you. So, after two more undistinguished songs, the first side is over, and you can't put your finger on jUst what it is, but already impressions are forming. But, as the man says you have to play the second side, right? "Misunderstood" opens side two and this is Townshend's best work on the album. A reggae style, catchy tune, this showcases some of his bestvocal work to date. He sings in a previously unheard deep, breathy voice that captures your attention immediately. And the lyrics are among the best on the album. The song finishes with Townsend stating cryptically, "I'm such an ordinary star." Some may argue that this is an extension of Who By : Numbers, but who would want tp? 1 - And the beat goes on like this for. the final four songs; nothing special, and a few question marks that would make most Who fanatics shake their heads in amazement as to why Townshend would get involved in something like this in the first place. But I digress. In total, th. are five new songs by Pete Townshend to satisfy the yearnings of any Who freak, but...? Ronnie Lane either wrote or co-wrote five songs (the tide track is a Townshend-Lane effort), and the last song on the album is an old Holyfietd-Williams tune, 'Till The Rivers All Run .* Dry." At this point, if one's patience has not run dry, one picks up the album and tries to figure out what went wrong. One just knows that his isn't what it should be, that it's almost as if it's two separate groups renting space on the same piece of wax. One though, however subtle, does come into mind concerning the nature of the vocals. Townshend sings his songs. Lane sings his and there is nothing unusual about that. What is wrong is that there is the absence of shared vocals, two part harmonies, or anything that gives a group feeling, as the four pert harmonies of the Eagles or Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. Rough Mix is less a collaboration between the two featured artists and more the result of one person going into the studio, cutting half an album and having another group coming right in and finishing off the balance of the recording tape. The only reason I know this isn’t so is that each side has a mix of both types .Of songs. To put it bluntly, half of the sounds like Vi/ho By Numbers, and half of it sounds like open mike at the Central Park Grill. This isn't to say, "stdy away," but. If you have yet to hear Live At Leeds, you should pick that up instead and listen to the Tommy medley on side two. On the other hand, if you collect albums and this one interacts you (it originally interested me a lot. but that was before I listened to it), pick it up as the type of record diet rounds out your collection. Otherwise, be forewarned: the type of mind games going on between these two are far beyond you and me. And the next time Pete (r) Townshend releases an album with another artist, I won’t get fooled again. —Bruce Latman Cedar Walton/Hank Mobley, Breakthrough (Muse) This album, recorded in 1972, a group called Artistry of Music, this all-star quihttd boasts Walton on piano and Mobley oh tenor sax, alopfc with Charles Davis on baritone and soprano saxes, rhythm section consists of Sam Jonhs on bass alodg .With veteran studio man, Billy Higgins, op drums. A listing of the musicians these men have worked with would look like a who's who of jazz. Walton was <in integral part of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers for three years, where l]4 seemed to find his musical self. Mobley was a member of the original Messengers, but received his greatest exposure when he replaced John Coltrane in the Miles Davis Band of the early sixties. The list is equally impressive for the rest of the group. The first side opens with the title cut, a straight-ahead Mobley original. Following the up-tempo head, Davis wastes no time showing why he is considered one of the better baritone players on the scene.Xis solo is one long, flowing line after another, and Walton reinforces these with rhythmic chords. Mobley answers with a typically ■ ' Chick Corea. Leprechaun (Poiydor) "Soft and Gentle" a very important chamber work Gayle Moran acoustically and also phonetically sound. The lead (text) vocalist. Neville Potter a very good story based oh script musically, Edward Gomez is a symphonic bassist with an integrated quality of rhythmic logic, through out Corea's acoustic piano has a smooth humor while the string quartet oomprges on the textural parts as aristocratic statesmen.

Then it is Walton's turn to respond, plucking long runs backed by mellow chords. Mobley's tenor takes us back to the head where Higgins exchanges twelve bar phrases with the horns. "Sabia" has Walton, now on electric piano, backing Mol bey who flows gracefully through this beautiful ballad which is unusual in that it hat no repeats. Walton's "House on Maple Street" was inspired by a friend's house. The introduction, which features David on soprano, seems like a welcoming. Once we are inside, Davis entertains us with hit best effort on the album. Too many soprano players try to "get" the "Coltrane sound," but Davis has his own distinctive style, and shouts of approval are heard in the background. Higgins' crisp cymbal work shines through during his only solo of the album. Side Two opens with still another version of "Theme From Love Story." The rhythm section is especially tight on this, the only trio cut. Walton's solo is creative, but I've heard this tune done too often. Mobley does his best blowing on Gershwin's "Summertime." He explores every area of his horn with long, melodic, firey phrases. His own shouts of approval come frequently between phrases. Mobley and Higgihs trade fours nicely to dose this tune. The album doses with "Early Morning Stroll," a happy tune with David flying away on soprano. Sam Jones has a nice solo and Higgins and the horns again trade off to close . the tune. ■ personnel .indicate, the would is A» good, unadulterated jazz. By the shouts heard throughout, it js apparent that recording this album was enjoyable for the musicians.

With twelve reporters and no more pretending years of civic leadership behind her. and an excitement about the that we were not terrified. There was a slight drizzle challenges ahead. Bozer brings a combination of knowledge and freshness which her supporters have long been lacking in Eric County's Monday morning when we awoke. Our friends had already started to strongly partisan governments. Countying the city Bo/cr finds in (he discord be)ween city and county governments an appalling blindness to the needs of both. “The city and county are interdependent." she maintains. “The city is the heart ol the county. The county must have the ability to initiate policies which will help revitalize the city while at the same time pursue regional cooperation in solving problems which affect our entire region." A case in point concerns the existing policies regarding county roads and highways. The county Transportation Department maintains ail roads up to the city line: no further. In the same manner, the county allocated funds fur the construction of Rich Stadium (in Orchard Park) and another suburban campus for trie Community College (HO, while reneging on an earlier promise for a new downtown ECC campus. Bo/er responded to this failure by the county as a missed chance to spark the downtown economy, saying "All those student and university oriented services and businesses that spring up as y V;' i result.. .** ...... What the govern meant These matters of priorities. (Itc duplication of effort and services, the separate plans, and division of funds lead Bo/er to call for a re-evaluation of county government as it exists in this state. "Because of changing economic and social conditions in our county, wc must constantly evaluate what we arc doing." she said. “We must periodically update our government. Wc must avoid perpetuating patterns that are divisive, encouraging the cijy and the county to go their separate ways." II the effort is made to organize trie County as a. truly metropolitan county, as Bo/cr believes it must be. then w|tal remains is to define the precise function of the county level of government. To do this. Bo/er js calling for a public dialogue involving state and local officials, as wcH as concerned citizens, to discuss questions: “What powers arc derived by Eric County? Arc they sufficient?” If not. Bo/cr says the public should know beforehand. gather outside entrance. They the had church spotted right-wingers, well-known members of the Nazi Parly and While People's Party, dressed in suits and lies. People were afraid. Was the right wing going to launch an attack on us before the police arrived? What was going on? Our lawyer, Willard Meyers, arrived from the federal Courthouse where had had been all morning trying to find out what was going to happen. He told us the federal judge. John Henderson, had issued a warrant for our arrests; the arrival of the police was imminent. All morning long, people in ties slowly walked past the church.

Then the word came down, filtered from person to person. "They're here. The FBI is not here," Seconds passed. They seemed like hours. Someone ran up the center aisle of the church to where Bruce and 1 were standing. "We're not sure if it's the cops or the right wing, what should we do?” we “hollow through on the plan developed last night." Bruce replied. .(banting erupted from the front door of the church: "Hell no, we won’t go. hell no. we won’t go.” The people inside the sanctuary picked up (he chant: it reverberated off the thick stone walls of the church: the noise was tremendous, from where I stood at the pulpit, I could see fighting and shoving.

Film Showing - • Buffalo Premiere The Battle of Chile Friday, Sept. 30 at 7:30 pm Nationalism Bo/.cr is concerned nul only about (tie area involvement of the County Legislature, but also its efforts on a national level for tire benefit of the county and its people. An exciting idea involving the creation of an urban National Historic Parle here in Buffalo was first introduced by Senator Daniel Moynihan. and Bo/er wasted no time in carrying the project further. She has contacted Senator Jacob Javits Who has indicated he also supports this proposal. “The park could be a part of an Olmstcad Historic National Park System and would include Buffalo's Delaware. Front, and Marlin Luther King (formerly Humboldt) Parks.” she explained. This would put Buffalo in line for national park funds that she feels have been disproportionately concentrated in the West for loo long. In this manner, Bo/er said Buffalo would benefit by being relieved of financial burdens, local taxpayers would benefit by being able to use the facilities their dollars have been supporting, and the parks themselves, now “becoming seedy, will have the protection of comprehensive long-range planning rather than short-sighted park project plans by local officials.” This new awareness of parks, in addition to preserving their security and beauty, could be a solution for Buffalo's economic woes. Bo/.cr believes. “A national park site in the Buffalo area would spur tourism.” she said, “and tourism is a high profit industry. Package (not commercialize) what rich history we have into an exciting product. Buffalo has the potential.

Bethune previously Hall, known as “(he Meter Building,” has only recently become the home of the Art Department. The department used to be housed at the Bell facility, Ridge Lea and other locations across town, so the Department now is much more centralized. The initial plans for a gallery may be implemented within two to four weeks. At this time, art students whose projects were homeless, will have formerly found a place to exhibit their works.

Passing the buck ID design reports clash - Managing Editor BELLY DANCERS! GREEK FOOD, WINE AND LIQUOR UP crap came out. It's just a different card. It’s simply not the card we approved." by John H. Reiss Membership Meeting Wednesday, Sept. 28th at 4 pm The question concerning whether or not student officials approved the design for the controversial ID cards has been shrouded by a veil of uncertainty as students and administrators involved in last year’s decision have offered conflicting reports on the matter. Amidst vigorous and consistent protest by students throughout this University directed towards what they feel are useless cards, University administrators have steadfastly maintained that approval was given by students involved in the decision. 101 Kiva, Baldy Hall, Amherst AGENDA 1.

Good of tbe Order If it it desired that an item be added to the Agenda, please contact the secretary in room 333 Baldy. Assistant Director for Systems Management Richard Canale claimed that the cards were designed by art students and that the final draft was approved by a committee comprised of both students and administrators. In addition, he said that Student Association President Dennis Delia gave his personal consent to the design in May. Delia flatly denied this, saying he was not involved in the decision. “1 had nothing to do with it,” he said. “The decision was made before I took office.” Shuffling the cards Lee Scott Peres, a student representative on last year’s ID card committee, claimed that he did in fact, receive a “rough draft” of the proposed card, which he and SA executives Steve Schwartz and Steve Spiegel approved. However, he said that draft included what he termed to be “all the vital information one would assume would appear on an ID card.” Peres explained that the student-approved rough draft included a computerized strip for library use, the date of birth and a signature. “It was designed to be the most profitable and useful card possible,” Peres explained. “Our only quarrel with the card was that it didn't have enough numbers for SA elections. We asked them to change that, they did, and we approved the card. Then this Assistant to the President Ron Stein and Director of Orientation James Krakowiak. both of whom were on the committee were unable to explain why the draft might have been changed, claiming they were not involved in the final decision. Director of Admissions Richard Dremuk and Assistant Vice President for Housing and Auxilliary Enterprises Len Snyder, principles in the decision, were unavailable for comment. Not for Pub Canale explained that date of birth was omitted from the ID cards because the University had no information relating to that data and. in the past, had relied solely on the word of students. Since, he claimed, there is no way for the University to validate the information given by students, officials felt it best to omit the date of birth. He added that students' addresses were left off the cards because “kids change their addresses all the time." Canale said that the card was designed to serve the purposes of the University. He claimed the card should identify students as a member of the University so they may utilize various facilities and services of IRC, housing, food service, the library, and athletic events. He felt the cards should not be designed for the purposes of check cashing or gaining entrance to the Pub. A new ID card committee co-chaired by Krakowiak and SA Executive Vice President Andy Lalonde, will meet tomorrow for the first time. The committee will explore the feasability of designing and issuing new cards by next semester. Krakowiak explained that its members will attempt to design a card which is more responsive to the University community, because, he said, "There is nothing on the present IDs.” He said he would like to see the date of birth (if possible), space for library use, and a place for food service to appear on the card. He felt certain that signatures would be added. Administration GSA reach agreement on grad students , > (ood for one dinner.

The report is divided into three major concerns: by Joel Mayersohn be able Spectrum Stall Writer more The University administration and graduate students have moved one step closer to bettering relations by agreeing on a set of guidelines governing the responsibilities of Teaching Assistants (TA's) and Graduate Assistants (GA’s). In a report issued last week, an eight person committee comprised of graduate students and faculty members formulated a set of rules concerning the role of graduate students in the University. This marks the first time that the administration and students have collaborated on the long standing problems of assistantships. Although the report is not considered to be a ma)or breakthrough, it is, according to the chairman of the committee, Charles M Fogel, “A positive step in understanding each other’s needs, concerns, and responsibilities." Fogel said,“There will be no problem in approving the report,” which has been sent to Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dt Ronald Bunn Bunn has in turn forwarded copies of the report to deans and provosts. Fogel felt that graduate students can become a valuable asset to the University, and observed that it may prove to be a difficult job to fully integrate grads into all factions of the University system. Foundation set Another committee member who spoke on the report was Graduate Student Association (GSA) President R Nagarajan. The GSA leader also characterized the report as having “tremendous significance because graduate students will now have to upcoming a foundation work within confrontations with the administration The committee’s report rests on two basic agreements: the creation ot formalized policies lor GA’s and TA’s and an increased involvement ol graduate students in the University decision making process. Nagarajan said, “By formalized roles, GSA will (luidelines relating to Ihe teaching responsibilities of graduate students in relationship to educational value, course load, and job responsibility. Stipends debated Support was the most highly debated part of the report. Stipends lor years have been a major ol contention among hone students and administrators. The CjSA’s stance is that the state should make a complete commitment to higher including stipends that can enable education students to be financially independent. It is apparent that the two groups are still lar apart on the stipend issue, although progress has been made.

Wednesday, 28 September 1977 The Spectrum , Page three �Student Wide Judiciary may Unprecedented hearings NYPIRG battles cases backlog pending of face NFG rate hikes The Student Wide Judiciary ( SWJ) may fall The SWJ, comprised of undergraduate, graduate, behind in this semester’s case load because of a and Millard Fillmore College students, hasn’t had a backlog of pending cases, according to Assistant Vice single case this year, according to Neil Haberman, presently the only student defender for SWJ. President of Academic Affairs, Ron Doleman. He said the backlog, a slowdown in the issuing of subpeonas from last semester’s cases, has two C1U9CS. One reason for the backlog, said Doleman, is the absence of a complete Student Wide Judiciary. “Applications are still being accepted for SWJ positions, which will then be geared towards interviews to fill the empty slots,” Doleman said. Once the positions are filled, an orientation of the new justices will take place, “which won’t take long as soon as we set it in motion,” according to Doleman. The second reason for the backlog is the fact that a check-up on the status of students involved in cases from last semester, determining whether or not they attend this University, is necessary. “We don’t have jurisdiction over non-students,” said Doleman, “and right now the flies at Admissions and Records are still incomplete.” Haberman said he hopes he will have more help in defending students. Once the prosecuters begin handing out subpeonas, Haberman said, “there might be more of a backlog than there already is.” Once a student is subpeonaed to appear at an arraignment, he has the option of going to Group Legal Services for help. Group Legal Services will then assign an SWJ student defender to his case. However, since Haberman is the only student defender at SWJ at this time, he will have a considerable amount of trouble in getting to all the cases once last year’s cases are taken care of. One student whose case has been pending since last semester said, “1 don’t know what’s going on. I’m tired to waiting for things to happen.” In response to a questions concerning how long the student body will have to wait for a completely functioning judical system, Doleman said, “Things will be moving right along very soon, especially after the positions in the Judiciary are filled.” by Paulette Buraczenski Campus Editor The New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) has begun auditing the National Fuel Gas Company’s (NFG) financial records, and, according to NYPIRG’s Western New York Coordinator Ken Sherman, "There are no real developments yet.” He claimed that his organization has just been gathering information. NYPIRG has recently received permission by the Public Service Commission (PSC) to audit NFC’s records in search of “hidden profits” and had been successful in pressuring the PSC to hold hearings on NFC’s recent 2.2 percent rate increase request. The hearings, which were held on Tuesday of last week, were unprecedented in that requests for an increase of up to 2.5 percent are usually automatically granted by the Commission. The increase, which has been protested by consumers and other groups like NYPIRG, has been successfully delayed for another four to six months. This delay has already saved the public an estimated $2 million in excess fuel costs.

In addition, the company did not pay wages to thousands of employees who were on strike last winter. The auditing, which has been funded in part by the Buffalo City Council and the Erie County Legislature, has only reached elementary stages, according to Sherman. “Right now, we are in the process of recruiting people to do the actual auditing,” he said. “This week we are signing contracts with consultants.” Door to door Sherman, who is confident in NYPIRG’s ability to delay the people showed up, and about 70 people testified against NFG’s exorbitant poeple showed up, and about 70 people testified against NFG’s exorbitant costs last winter.” According to Sherman, the Labor Party was the only group at the hearings that advocated the rate hike. Sherman claimed that NYPIRG will continue its door-to-door outreach program in the hopes of gaining more support by the public in the form of signatures, saying “We hope to turn in another 10,000 signatures protesing NFG’s rate request.” He is confident in NYPIRG’s ability to gain support of the public because, he said, “One out of every four consumers we contact through the outreach program voices a complaint about their bills.” As a final thought about the action, NYPIRG may take action to help consumers fight the rising cost of fuel, said Sherman. “If there is a rate increase, we are thinking of organizing a county-wide strike on bill payment on the anniversary of the blizzard, January 28.” SA ELECTIONS Student Senators UUAB Music Committee/SA^ Academic Affairs proudly present the Hilarious Merriment Thursday & Voting Places Squire 9 9 pm - Goodyear 10 4 pm - Norton 9 5 pm - of Friday & ROBERT KLEIN with Special Guest Times - SANDY BIG TREE BAND Sunday, Oct. 9th at 8 pm Student Club 9 6 pm Porter 1 9 pm Governors 10 4 pm - Clark Gym - Main St. Tickets at the ridiculously low price of $2.00 students $5 non-students - • Ail undergraduate students are urged to get out and vote!! suo £7} BOARD -7D< I ONE.

Inspired by a similar, well publicized protest in Seabrook, New Hampshire, this latest demonstration against nuclear power adds an international dimension to an already heated battle between concerned environmentalists on one side and nuclear energy porponents, often allied with governments, on the other. The nuclear power issue can be reduced primarily to a discussion of risks, and thus to a discussion of unknowns. Environmentalists are not willing to risk the as yet incalculable dangers of nuclear power and power companies, along with state and federal governments frequently are. Each side has its experts to testify before various committees that his employer both knows, and is telling the truth. Clearly, there is nowhere near enough objective research completed on the real risk factors involved. There is also not enough information about how Americans feel, as a whole, with respect to nuclear power. Individual communities are usually quite happy to approve zoning for a nuclear power plant since the enormously expensive facilities often shoulder the majority of the town's tax burden. So while these municipalities enjoy all the benefits of the plant, they are more than willing to share the possible condequences of a nuclear disaster with other communities near the plant, or others along the same ocean. They are also not opposed to shipping the deadly radioactive wastes to 30 minutes other areas for burial, such as West Valley, New York - from Buffalo. Realistically, too much money has been spent thus far on nuclear power to even dream of its going away. Before more funds are sunk into plants and reactors, wide-ranging, exhaustive research must be Defeat Bakke achieving educational or job equality for oppressed nationalities or women, without affirmative acfion To the Editor On October 12, the Supreme Court will hear arguments on what has become the most important civil rights case since the 1954 decision outlawing school segregation. What is at stake? Allen Bakke, a white male, has filed suit against the University of California Davis Medical School challenging the constitutionality of its special admissions program for minority and women students. Bakke claims the school’s failure to admit him as a student is “reverse discrimination.” Though the situation remains that there is no possibility of oral undertaken to both evaluate risks and develop responsible methods of dealing with wastes that will remain with us for generations. Waste research is vital, not as an endorsement of the future of nuclear power but as a realization of the extent of the waste problem that is here now, this very minute, in places such as West Valley. Da, nyet —too much It is heartening to hear of Rachel Carson College’s recent grant from the government to research the recycling of nuclear wastes. Meanwhile, however, more plants are under construction and a bill proposed in Congress would make it easier to obtain nuclear power plant building permits. Bureaucratic efforts must be channeled into more research, instead of increasing the critical need for that research. What governmental officials, utility companies and the American people need to develop is the courage and honesty to say, "We don't know.'' Being your basic “socially conscious” college student of the ’70’s, I have developed in the last few years an acute awareness of ways in which my purchasing habits reflect sympathies I have for certain persons less fortunate than myself. For instance, nary a head of lettuce unblessed by the mark of the Phoenix has made its way to my salad bowl. Fortunately, my deep appreciation of hops, barley, and malt has precluded any potential conflict arising from imbibing the products of the infamous Vote The positions open to election are important because each is a branch of student power.

I wish to comment on your article, “Oh God a Mystery,” a superficial and immature piece of journalism which, I doubt, reflects the feelings of the student body as a whole. In framing the questions you asked students, you failed to make an important distinction. The existence of God and the significance of religion may to be appear synonymous questions. Yet there is a difference. Religion refers to the Church, its activities, and the way in which individual experiences have become institutionalized and into definite organized ideologies. In this regard, the Church is no different from other of man’s institutions be they political, economic, or social in that it is susceptable to human error. The Church is organized by men, is Still 15 Editor-in-Chief Campus To the I- Ji! or Overseas study Managing Editor John H.

Vol. 28, No. To the Editor programs, Recently 1 have seen several posters around campus about overseas study programs As one of last year’s SUNY students abroad, I may be able to assist students who are considering this program SUNY has programs in several European and Middle Eastern countries. 1 was one of the 16 SUNY students at The Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Israel (there were three students from UB), We had our own SUNY advisor in Jerusalem, who helped us with any problems, and gave parties to celebrate American holidays, such as Thanksgiving. She was given a budget that helped us pay for field trips throughout the country. It was truly the most fantastic year of my life. If this sounds appealing, 1 must caution you about one thing. Out of all the SUNY schools that participated in this particular program, only UB had no concern for the welfare of its students. All other SUNY schools sent their students pre-registration and housing early enough for them to register with the rest of their university. All school newspapers were sent regularly (some schools requested a small itself one of the Powers and Principalities which St Paul refers to as being necessary for men to for overcome search an in their personal understanding of God. This is the paradox of the C'hurch, and is as much a problem today as it was for St. Paul. The content of the Church's message the redemptive nature of the life and death of Christ is understood first in terms of personal experience. One can have a strong personal faith and be critical of, even alien to, the organized church. In the age of abstraction and uncertainty in which we live, no thoughtlul person can fail to seriously consider the question of the existence of God, and the way in which this question, every man's, has found expression through the Church. Minor Morgue postage fee, which my advisor agreed to pay). The Spectrum sent nothing We sent many letters and cablegrams to UB practically begging for registration material, etc This university refused to answer Finally, we sent a letter to the head of the department that I'm in, the tnglish Department Dr t rance answered my letter and got in touch with my advisor who previously had no time for me Dr t rance. thank you. My advisor finally answered me and said he was writing because Dr. France “reminded me ol the responsibility that I easiest way for the material to be sent would be for the students to easiest way for the material to be sent would be for the students in question to write their friends here at school and have them send out the materials to Israel This is how UB advisors help UB students' I was lucky enough to have a good friend like (tail, to fill out all the necessary forms for me In any case, the program is very rewarding, and I would strongly encourage anyone to look into it Just keep in mind that UB doesn’t care about its students, and you better have good friends to cover you 1 Cindy Cooper �Sheriff’s ID best alternative To the Editor. at IRC feel that the service of issuing Sheriff’s cards we were providing was good for a lot We of students. As everyone else, we were dissatisfied with the new ID card and felt that Sheriff’s cards were the best alternative. We feel that students should have been able to decide for themselves if they wanted a Sheriff’s card or not. Many people do not have another source of ID. So by your editorial, you took away a chance for many to get proper ID. We feel the editorial was unfair to us, the Erie County Sheriff and University Police who went to great lengths to get this service brought on campus. If anyone is interested in them coming back on campus, please contact IRC in E347 Richmond and we will try to get them back. Executive Committee of IRC Sloppy mail service To the Editor 1 have been a student at UB only since the beginning of this semester and already 1 have had several pieces of mail and a package lost or misplaced UB Mailroom. It seems that even the mail that somehow or other finds its way into my mailbox has been sent four or five days previously. Whereas, the post office usually delivers our mail in two to three business days, our mailroom is apparently treating our mail with disregard when you consider that my bank had to send me three sets of checks for only one of them by the mcaeteem hoi wets *V€ C&W' i ioh? pozn&c? &s w \zeneueur outbursts AGM&>T THIS FILM &S esrttiusHHew CRITICS. to reach my box after it had been mailed seven days prior. In addition, in attempting to trace my checks, I called our mailroom only tj receive the response that central receiving is responsible for this package. After calling the central receiving number given me by the mailroom, I learned that they don’t handle this type of student mail. I am extemely disheartened at the way in which my mail has been handled and in general, the manner in which the mailroom operates. I only dread the thought of years of service of this caliber continued. Neil Weinreb Speek Engleesh? To the Editor I would appreciate an explanation from anyone on why a large, state subsidized university cannot hire American, English-speaking teachers. In French, my first class for the semester, I was confronted with an Oriental teacher who had difficulty conversing in English. (Note; The teacher spoke fluent French, the problem was imparting the knowledge. 1 changed my schedule and now I’m taking French 8:00 in the morning.) Then upon entering a math class in which I was absent for the first session, I asked a classmate, “What did I miss” The response was laughter Another student said, ‘There’s nothing to miss.” A minute later 1 understood. My teacher did not speak one work of intelligible English. Absurd but true! The class was a farce. (Note: 1 switched my schedule to a night course; once again the teacher speaks with a foreign accent.) Wc are now learning with a handicap. Why? Aren’t our courses made hard enough without adding obstacles? Or is this supposed to be a challenge? Are our own teachers and students less but capable and qualified at teaching? 1 doubt it even if that was true, I would learn with much more ease for there would be no language barrier. Judy Abramowitz Roman returns To the Editor overbearing group of individuals, or were the holidays given just to get them off the university’s When I wrote the letter on the appeasement of the Jewish minority, I did not expect the response I got. I’m glad apathy has returned to where it belongs: whoever cares where that is! “Name Withheld” (Monday, September 26) was one of few who was daring enough to speak out against the minority. “Name Withheld,” 1 salute you. I noticed that the Jews who wrote back only mentioned their own holidays. In their typically self-centered manner, they ignored other people’s feelings and felt they had the right to their days off, but the hell with the rest of us. Why would a university give in to such an back? Tost Watergate morality And just so that those Jews who wrote back insisting I was wrong know, the majority of people I talk to agree with me. When you give in to one minority, you have no right to not give in to the others. And why shouldn’t this be. No one should be given into, Jewish holidays should be for Jews, and school should continue on these days with or without the school’s Jewish population. I await comments. Pat C. Roman ’ To the Editor So Bert Lance has resigned. This country is in desperate need of intelligent and competent leaders in government. Mr. Lance seemed to be this kind of a leader as you said in your editorial, “Anyone who quits college to work in a bank to support his pregnant wife and in a dozen years becomes President of the bank must be smart and dedicated.” Mr. Lance’s performance earlier as part of Jimmy Carter’s administration in the State of Georgia also demonstrated his talents. All agree that the members of government should be honest and above suspicion, but this is going too far. Mr. Lance’s charges dealt with things that happened before he took the job as OMB Director, so why should he have been forced to resign? These accusations of dubious and illegal banking practices were not serious enough, in my opinion, to justify his being hounded out of office. Also, most observers felt he was doing a good job for Carter. Finally, one must ask this question: What was the benefit of the whole Lance affair? It cost a man his reputation, the OMB a good director, and Carter his close friend and trusted advisor. Also, it seems to me that a successful businessman would have to be a fool to come to Washington and have to undergo such treatment. I don’t think there are ten people in the whole Senate who can really pass the test of the “Post Watergate Morality.” And 1 wonder how many people in SA could survive such scrutiny? 0 4.

When federal subpoenas were handed to down, according Rubin, “all of Berkeley said, I want one'.” He provoked sudden laughter when he said, “There was a lot of subpoena envy on campus.” wearing a Revolutionary War uniform to the hearings in Washington, Rubin “became an example of the freedom myth ” paqe and politics” to be played in an absurd theater before the national media. He writes in Growing (Up)\ “As long as the myth exists, it makes no difference whether or not the physical reality exists If people act on the myth, they will create the reality. Yippies was'V myth created in our heads that became reality.” By learned that “when one person sets an example by freeing himself, others will follow" He used the media to perpetuate the myth, knowing that even “the spread of information is revolutionary.” In 1967 Rubin and others in Abbie Hoffman’s apartment in Greenwich Village created the Party Youth International (Yippies), a combination of “fun Happiness and health He was a star of the Chicago 7 trials, determined to give Judge Julius Hoffman a heart attack, and positive of his guilt in “inciting to riot.” After spending some time in jail, he can now say, “I learned more in one day in jail than in four years at college It's a nice place for good Jewish boys and girls.” That. also, brought laughter from the crowd By 1970 Rubin’s history, more myth than reality, had betrayed him.

Thurston said building names were transferred from Main Street to Amherst to carry on the history of the University. Norton, named after Charles P.

The University Council, an official group, does research into the geneology and personal history of the people whose names were suggested. This is done to determine what contributions or services they made to the University or community. When the research is finished, the Council submits its list to the Board of Trustees in Albany Made up of various profesional people from throughout the state, the Board chooses its preference of names for the buildings. The Board bases its decision on the contributions a person made in his particular field One example of this is Clemens Hall, which was named after Samuel L Clemens (Mark Twain), one time editor of the Buffalo Courier Express.

Many people feel that the University is not making the shift to Amherst as publicly known as it should be. One returning student explained, “I went to class in Hochsletler Mall and as I talked to people around me, I found out that I wasn’t in the right place. That’s when i found out that Hochstelter was moved out to Amherst and the old building was renamed Wende.” In a random sample of students, the majority did not know the reason behind the name changes. About 45 percent knew of the changes because they read about it “somewhere” or because friends had told them. Most students, when asked what they thought of the namechanges, expressed a general att'tude of confusion. Lori Morrow, a senior, explained, “I don’t mind the name changes, but nobody notified the students at all. The University just switched the names and never gave the reason why .” “Changing the building names is about as constructive as the new ID cards,” was the opinion expressed by Robert Gross, a sophomore. Many more students felt that it was a waste of energy and money to switch names. They also believed that it would seem more traditional for a building to keep ihe same name as long as it reminds standing.

This can be done by talking to the students and to SUNY at Amherst, then the disassociation will be complete. learning what their problems are But then, that would be to despair and what solutions they would because people would confuse us like to see enacted in their behalf.

Conceived long before 69 and 70, after a furious battle over where space would be found to the then accommodate burgeoning SUNYAB, Amherst, then a worthless floodplain offered the chance for some very people to get rid of worthless swampland at enormous profit. Did you know that it was not until six long years after important first broken at (1967) that the first buildings (Ciovernors and O’Brian) opened (1973)? Why, because we spent our first 200 million dollars on fucking site preparation. Gil Lawrence ground Amherst was This school is becoming too out of touch with the problems of the students. For example, the last day to resign a course with an “R” is now October 14, last year it was November 26. The University cites prestige as the reason for the move. My findings are that most students have their first exams in mid-October. I would therefore ask the “R” date to be moved back to November I. I believe this would accommodate most students' need to evaluate their courses. I would like to see a similar action taken on the pass/fail problem. 1 think most people need to take a test in a course before evaluate it. Another goal is to change the SC'ATF, which I consider a useless waste of fees as it now stands. I would like to improve the way it is displayed and perhaps make it more presentable and readable. As of this time, the SCATE may be scrapped by SA. This, is unnecessary because I believe that working closely with the SCATE committee, perhaps a SCATE that will be a truly useful aid for the student can be by produced. ?;■ If you agree with my ideas, I’d appreciate your vote in the upcoming election. 1 will work hard and, hopefully, never give you cause to regret choosing me for Direction of Academic Affairs. -Richard Lipman Due to the transitory situation of the two campuses, students this year are encountering more problems, hassles and confusion than ever before. It seems to me that a lot of what SA is doing, anymore, is just fending for the students, trying to maintain what already exists, barely keeping the status quo. 1 think SA should start initiating action for the benefit of the students. I for one will do this in the academic area. Experience in SA is needed for expediency of action. My experience in SA includes being a the Senator elected the from Academic Affairs Task Force, a member of the Senate finance committee, and consequently a member the of Financial Assembly, plus being involved with Academic clubs. (Presently, 1 am Acting Director of Academic Affairs.) Some of the important issues I intend to deal with are: increasing reduced library hours, the especially during the exam weeks; moving the “R” (the last date to resign a course without receiving an “R” (resigned) on your record), back or close to the date it originally was; doing the same with the SU student decision date for grading. I think distribution credit for courses from the Colleges should finally be granted. 1 am also very strongly committed to resisting and fighting cutbacks and retrenchments at this University at all levels. New problems such as that more time is needed to bus students from Amherst Campus academic to Millard spine Fillmore in EUicott; and the foreseeable problems of moving the “Abbott” library to the Amherst Campus will have to be dealt with effectively. The only way we can stop the declining standards at this University is with strong student involvement; otherwise the conditions will become worse and worse, especially in the academics. Bub Sinkcwicz UUP to discuss its chapter’s priorities Union of University Professors (UUP) member. Gene Grabmcr, has submitted the following list of objectives to be presented at a meeting today at 4 p.m. in Room 101 Baldy Hall (Kiva) as topics for discussion that wil I eventually lead to a final list of priorities for this Chapter ol UUP. 1. A growing university, able to serve all residents of New York State irrespective ol* incomes, and a growing faculty and staff that will provide a future for graduate students in a spirit of affirmative action. 2. Statewide action programs, involving NYSUT, AFL-CIO, legislators, and other forms of community support to defend the SUNY graduate programs. 3. Similar statewide action program to reduce tuition to students. 4. Cost of living escalator clause, plus reasonable salary increases. 5. Continuous probationary contracts for faculty and professional staff, with termination for just cause only, and permanent appointment at the end of this period. 6. The unit of retrenchment shall be no narrower than a department, with grievances able to go to binding arbitration. 7. No loss of professional rank and permanent employment with job changes for professional staff. 8. Special consideration to overcoming inequality in working conditions and salaries for staff at FOC, and other areas of SUNY/B where such inequalities exist. 9. Statewide action program to give state employees rights equal to those of workers in private industry, including the right to strike. 10. Equal conditions for librarians with all other faculty, including academic year, with no loss in pay.

One salesman stated that the mark-up on a moped is not all that high- In a shop on Broadway, the owner confessed he does not own a moped and couldn’t afford one. IBs storefront place of business which has been open for two months appears to be a get-rich-quick scheme based on the hopes that the moped craze would continue. Bicycle shops and recreational vehicle dealerships carry raopeds as a sideline. The prospect of buying from one of these dealers as compared from a strictly moped oriented shop should be investigated. Generally, a business of this type has been around longer and wouldn’t dose down defective leaving you with merchandise and no place to which to return it.

Of course, helmet, goggles, a lit headlight, insurance, registration, and a class “A” license plate are required. Periodic inspection is also a must.

Page fifteen �Page sixteen The Spectrum Wednesday, 28 September 1977 . . �Heavy hitter Three quarterbacks lead UB football team Catcher Ganci leads Bulls by Ron Baron Spectrum Staff Writer This year, Bulls catcher Phil Ganci has the responsibility of leading the baseball Bulls to another winning season. Ganci, according to Coach Bill Monkarsh, is the most improved player on the squad.” Last season, Phil batted .320 with 27 RBI’s and five home runs. Two of those home runs traveled over 400 feet. Along with baseball, Phil also played varsity football during his high school career at Frontier. The strong catcher spurned a partial baseball scholarship at LeMoyne College in order to play for UB. Ganci broke into the starting lineup last year catcher Mike Dixon was sidelined with an injury. Previously he had been the Bulls’ designated when hitter. has become very confident in leading the team behind the plate. At the beginning of last season, Monkarsh would call most of the shots. As the season progressed and Ganci gained experience, he became familiar with each pitcher and called his own game. “The most difficult thing about handling each pitcher was to recognize his own individual strengths; also what particular pitch to throw in a certain situation,” explained Phil, game and learns from his mistakes. In addition, his hitting improved 80 percent.” Ganci Ganci attributes most of his success to desire, hard work and Mike Dixon. “Mike worked long and hard to improve my catching skills,” explained Ganci. After Phil’s collegiate playing days are over, he aspires to play professional baseball. “All 1 want is a chance to play pro ball.” If things don’t work out for Phil in pro ball, he will work for his father’s business. Rain, rain go away Ganci feels the Bulls have a tremendous amount of promise. With only three seniors on the squad, Buffalo is extremely young. Phil was most impressive in last year’s Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) Regional Playoffs in Delaware. Phil went nine for ten hitting three doubles. Not only did he star in the hitting department, but behind the plate Ganci threw out three out of four runners attempting to steal. Monkarsh is very proud of Ganci. “Phil is a student of the explained that defense is the key to the Bulls’ success. Thus far the team’s major improvement over last year’s squad has been in pitching. Ganci was surprised that the pitchers’ control has been exceptionally good. D,«e to the inclement weather, the Bulls have only played four games this fall. When the weather does clear, Ganci fears the Bulls will be sluggish and flat. The UB catcher has been bothered by tendanitis in his throwing shoulder. As a result he has only been used as a designated hitter thus far this fall. But with a healthy Phil Ganci leading Buffalo this spring, there is an excellent chance that the Bulls will capture a berth in the playoffs for the third consecutive year.

Although the squad has been virtually untested as of yet, they appear to be both physically and Perhaps the mentally sound. brightest aspect of the team could be their quarterback situation. It is generally assumed that the quarterback takes the initative of leading his team.

The last of the Buffalo signal callers is freshman Bill Forbess. At 5 foot 11 inches, 185 pounds. Forbess is a physically imposing figure. Like Niemet, he is also a Business Administration major who had intended to enroll at Brockport State but switched to UB for its football program. Last year, he led local powerhouse Sweethome High School to a division title with a 6-2 record. While both DiMiero and Niemet are more inclined toward running, Forbess is geared more toward the style of the drop back He pass. is a quiet shy and individual off the field, but has the capability to take charge once on the gridiron.

He is an articulate weighs his individual who before he thoughts Niemet When relate better to “The concluded, asked about their leadership duties, DiMiero reflected, “It is assumed . . there is no real pressure but we do have responsibility.

The official explained that it was still possible to enter a team in person and that Lebanon wished to field a team made up of Lebanese athletes living abroad. The Consul General asked if he knew of anyone else who was also eligible to appear for Lebanon. When Emad suggested his brother Gus, who ran track for Albany Stale, he too was accepted. So the brothers were off to Montreal comprising two-thirds of the Lebanese entry (the other entry being a judoist from Paris). Upon arriving, they found they had no coaches or assistants. Emad was granted permission to practice with the U.S. Olympic team, and received i ATTENTION A G.S.A. meeting will be held - ALL 6SA DEPARTMENTAL SENATORS & Wrestling in Division I in the 177 lb. class, Emad went 14-3-2 his first year, taking the Stale Collegiate title.

No wonder coach Michael called him “one of the finest athletes ever at UB.” Emad did try out for the U.S. Olympic team, but was beaten in the semi-finals by Ed Hamilton, another former UB wrestler. Faddoul ended up third When asked about another Olympic try in 1980, when he will be 27, Emad replied, “Definitely. With more conditioning. I could place near the top.” In addition to training, Emad runs Faddoul’s Falafel.a restaurant located at 3368 Bailey Avenue.

With a good draw he thought he had a shot at a medal. He had already beaten the Polish and Canadian wrestlers the year before in Buffalo. But the lost training proved costly and he suffered tough defeats against a Rumanian, and Rick Deschatelet from Canada. Gus, who arrived too late to enter the decathlon, finished ninth in the qualifications for the long jump (he holds the Lebanese record), but could not make the finals. The Faddouls immigrated to the USA in 1967, settling in Elmira, New York with relatives. Emad first started wrestling in high school as a way to meet other people and become involved in his new surroundings. After graduating from high school, he attended Corning Community College. While competing there, Emad was noticed by UB wrestling coach Ed Michael. Citing his “fine developmental potential,” Michael recruited him for the 1973-74 year. gefa^SS Hall nsion SPECIAL INTEREST CLUB REPRESENTATIVES MUST ATTEND!!

The only reason the Sheriff's Department uses IDs is to make sure that false proof isn’t issued. Braun stated, "Some kids come in here with someone else’s birth certificate and then try and get their picture on an ID card.” He said that they have discovered about six or seven people trying to obtain false IDs. by Danny Parker Campus I.Jilor The I ric County Sheriffs Department has stopped Sheriff Cauls in Squire Hall. The program which was supposed to last “as long as even a month," according to John Baird Longworthy of the Sheriff's Department, was terminated after one day because of The Spectrum editorial entitled “No Sheriff IDs on Campus." The editorial denounced the county’s sale ol Sheriff Cards in lieu ol the University improving its “useless" II) cards. Only 70 Shen11 IDs were issued to students on Wednesday I ric County Sheriff Ken Braun stated. "We are not going to do something that some ol the students want and some don't want." Braun was contacted due to the efforts ol Inter-Kesidenee Council (IRC) who were trying to appease students dissatisfied with the lack of birlhdales on the IDs. Braun said. “I'm sympathetic with I hi S/xi irinn x views. We came as a public service, but rather than cause problems we decided not to return. I feel that Sheriff’s office has a good working relationship with the University and the students. I graduated from UB issuing Braun also stated that every few years or so, files and records of Sheriff’s IDs are discarded. “We have no need and no filing space for all those records." Braun added that the Sheriff’s Department does not make a profit on the S3 cards. IRC President Dan Kinley is attempting to get the on campus. Kinley said, “I just can’t understand The Spectrum's views." Kinley believed the Sheriff’s office left because “they didn’t want to get stuck in the middle of a student war." Kinley added that he has written a rebuttal to The Spectrum s editorial Sheriff’s cards back Sheriff’s card unnecessary A major contention of the IRC officials, members of the Administration, and students was that Sheriff’s cards were required as proof of age in bars in Buffalo. Of the thirty-five bars listed in Snnnul '77. ’8 said they accept " Not for records Braun emphasized that the Sheriff IDs were never not be reached. Comments concerning admitting youths ranged from, “It’s up to the doorman” to *'as long as you’re dressed nicely,” but the unanimous opinion was that other forms of identification serve the purpose of the Sheriff’s cards. other forms of identification. Seven bars could One tavern owner stated, “We don’t require picture proof because many of our customers come from Canada, and Canadians don’t have picture IDs except for passports. Besides, who is going to go drinking with a passport in his pocket?” Jim Todd, a policeman and customer at Anacone’s Inn said, “Sheriff’s cards aren’t legally required, but they do make things easier. They should have put birthdates on the student IDs, I imagine.” Another bartender said as long as one is old enough, doesn’t care what he is shown (with some exceptions). "Lurch,” from Birdie’s 19th Hole, assured students that as long as they had accurate proof like a license and something with a picture on it, they could get in. One customer stated, “You can’t count on everyone having a Sheriff’s card, if you’re trying to make it in the bar business in Buffalo.” he If any students are still interested in obtaining a Sheriff’s card, they can be purchased at 134 West hagle Street for S3. The SpECT^UM Vol, State University of New York at Buffalo 28, No. 14 Lake LaSalle future appears murky; hope still held for by Brian Lipman Spi t mini Slalf Writer Lake LaSalle faces an uncertain future in its projected use as a recreational facility. It is highly unlikely that the lake will be available for recreational purposes for several years, according to Biology Professor Wayne Hadley. The lake was primarily created to. provide landfill for much of the construction on the Amherst campus and for aslhetic purposes. Original plans for the lake also investigation called for an use for concerning its possible boating, swimming, fishing and activities. other recreational Included were plans to use the lake as a laboratory facility for some biology classes. No action has been taken in this direction, however, and at the present time there are no long term plans for the lake, according to University officials. Presently, the lake lacks the necessary safeguards to permit its use for boating and swimming These safeguards include a buoy system ami adequate supervisory l>ersonnel the present fish In population supported by the lake precludes its use for recreational According to fishing purposes. the fish population Hadley. includes such species as carp, goldfish black crappie, gizzard minnows and shad, bluntnose other undesirable species from a addition, recreational fishing standpoint Killing fish has outlined a plan which he feels is necessary to implement before the lake can Hadley recreational fishery This includes eradicating the present fish population with a serve as a is that suitable fish non-harmful to human or other aquatic life; restocking the lake with garuefish species, such as large-mouth bass and bluegill. toxin monitoring the fish population for 2 to 3 years; instituting adequate measures to prevent undesirable fish from migrating from Fllicott Creek to the lake in times of highwater; and lining the banks of the lake with rock to cut down on much of the water turbidity In addition he feels the University would have to alter its present fertilizing and insecticide practices in the area surrounding the lake to prevent its becoming polluted. When questioned concerning the future of the lake, Assistant for Vice President Facilities Planning John Neal reaffirmed the University’s interest in using the lake for recreational purposes. However, he noted that no money has been allocated for this purpose and no work is planned for the immediate future. Neal felt that it would be fruitless to initiate work along these until Millersport lines Highway, which presently divides the lake into two sections, is moved and the lake united This work is scheduled to begin next summer Good facility disagrees Hadley of joining concept with the the lake, however. He feels the lake could better serve its recreational purpose, at least in terms of a fishery, divided into two sections. Thus, if one section had to be closed for restocking or some other reason, he claim the other section would still be available for 1 Hadley (eels the fact that the unavailable for lake will be recreational purposes for a period of years is unfortunate since it for potential high a becoming a good recreational holds facility not only for the school. the This would, in turn, provide excellent public relations for the school, but also for surrounding Hadley says. residents community. of Monday, 26 September 1977 EPA shells out $28,000 Rachel Carson College gets nuclear waste study grant Glenn Henricksen S/ntIriini Stall Writer by An Fnvironmental Protection Agency (I PA I grant of S28.259 has been awarded to Rachel ( arson College to study the economic feasibility ot recycling nuclear grant awarded wastes. This will be the first major to one of this University's eleven self-governing colleges. The study will be headed by nuclear physicist. Marvin Resnikoff, lecturer at Rachel Carson College and a nationally recognized expert on nuclear fuel reprocessing. Resnikoff will be assited by one of his students and an economist. Reprocessing entails dividing nuclear wastes and returning them to enrichment and fabrication facilities for re-use. Resnikoff gave two reasons why nuclear waste reprocessing is not currently being implemented. Firstly, transporting nuclear wastes is cosily and hazardous. In addition, President Carter has indefinitely deferred the recycling of nuclear wastes until effective international safeguards are implemented. No federal repository Resnikoff went before a House of Representatives sub committee on September 13 to testify about the problems and excessive costs that reprocessing will entail. Resnikoff said, “In the plutonium recycle case, there are no commercial size reprocessing and high level waste solidification facilities. And even if all these facilities existed, there is no federal repository into which all this long-lived material can be placed.” Resnikoff feels the lack of a federal repository may force existing nuclear plants to shut down in a few years because of excessive waste build-up in the reactors themselves Nevertheless, if there were no reprocessing plants, the future of the breeder reactor, a type of reactor that produces more fuel than it consumes, would be dead, according to Resnikoff. The federal government is looking into the Finger Lakes region as a possible site for a waste repository. More money needed Reprocessing is too expensive to be Marvin Resnikoff economically practical,” says Resnikoff, “but as the of U-235 (the volatile component of nuclear fuel) becomes greater, and the price of natural nuclear fuel rises, reprocessing becomes more and more an economic possibility.” shortage Work on a nuclear fuel reprocessing plant in South Carolina has been halted after $200 million was spent, yet another $750 thousand will be needed to complete the project. Work on the project was halted after President Carter deferred all work on nuclear reprocessing facilities. The failing nuclear power industry tor whom sales of nuclear reactors have fallen off to almost nothing, is worried, according to Resnikoff. “They don’t like the fact that Rachael Carson College is doing the study.” The industry apparently resented money being granted to its former critics, but, says Resnikoff, “It’s in the best interest of the public.” �Proposed rapid transit will take you downtown quickly by Elena Cacavas Winston Spectrum Staff Writer proposed rapid transit system, presently in the architectural and engineering design phase, will be a development that greatly influences the University Community. Robert L. Wilson, an architect designing the LaSalle, Amherst and the campus stations, recently told the Buffalo Evening News that h«, envisioned the station at this University’s Main Street campus as being, “the real Gem of the entire system.” He elaborated by stating, 'This station has the largest problems and therefore the largest opportunity to shine. It’s the terminus station of the line and will have the greatest concentration of buses and people. There are tremendous problems in reconciling vehicular and pedestrian traffic. There’s also an opportunity to do something creative.” Wilson envisioned a park, water and various sitting levels to be included in the station’s design. Although adding to the cost of the project, these “extras” are not as extraneous as they may seem. Wilson added, “They’ll help to maintain the community scenery as well as fit nicely into this relatively recent push toward beautification of Buffalo and urban renewal.” Buffalo’s Environmental impact system Director of community services for the Metro Construction Division of the NFTA John Winston said, “The rapid transit system encompasses 13 years of planning and study.” In the 1960’s designs were drawn up which envisioned a 26-mile line; however, when these were presented by the architects to the federal government, federal officials detertnined that Buffalo was not big enough for a system of such a long distance. Four or five years ago, the Transportation Authority (NFTA) became involved in the project, developing an overhead transit system with arteries branching from Main Street, through the out into East Side and Cheektowaga. Again, the government said it was too extensive and that “the ridership potential was too low.” Winston said that the NFTA then approached a Metro Construction Staff which designed an 11-mile overhead line. This, too, was shot down by the federal government which suggested that designers work toward an “environmental impact system.” The next plan submitted, encompassing a system impacting or improving the environment was accepted and is currently being implemented. Realizing that Buffalo’s Main Street has “the most vast urban sprawl of any other city,” stated that the new would be oriented toward system aiding transportation in this most demanding section of the city, rather than having arteries emulating from other directions and terminating at the University. Also, the present designs call for the rapid transit to surface downtown at the Main Place Mall, thus facilitating shoppers who will then spend money in the slowly dying downtown businesses. Another consideration in building the rapid transit system, general progress aside, was Buffalo’s devastating weather. Winston very carefully pointed out that, “during last year’s blizzard the only things moving were the metro buses.” Now, the will underground system hopefully facilitate transportation even under the worst weather conditions. Winston stressed that from an economic standpoint, this transit system, costing $336 million, is “the cheapest in the country.” it is 20 percent of the project being funded by New York State and 80 the Urban percent by Metropolitan Transit Authority (UMPTA), leaving less of a tax burden on Erie County residents than would a completely state or federally funded project. Winston also pointed out that the project will open up approximately 1500 jobs in the Buffalo area. The construction contract specifically stipulates that all labor must be drawn from local unions. This includes labor for all tunnelling that must be done, which requires special technology. When rapid transit systems are mentioned, the thought that often comes to mind is New York City and the hazards involved with riding the subways there. Much public sentiment seems to rest on the idea that sub-ground . Urban renewal Winston mentioned that the entire rapid transit system was not an idea “developed by the bureaucrats.” It was the people of Buffalo who, in the 1960’s, formulated the idea and it was also those same people who later established a program called NOT (no overhead transit) and sent to Washington a petition with 74,000 signatures against something such as monorail. Overhead transit was thought to destroy and to clutter the city. Considering the path it has taken, it’s clear to see that the 6.4 mile line of rapid transit came as a response to public desire rather a than fulfillment of “bureaucratic” ideas, Buffalo is considered a vast, metropolitan city which sometimes seems to be dying because of lack of new ideas and constructions. Perhaps now, the product of 13 years of effort will begin to set urban renewal in the right direction. savings on snow tires.

Winston said that careful consideration is being given to this aspect of the project. He explained that under the old building plan, such as New York City’s subway system, the nooks that were constructed as part of the design encouraged lurking. Now, the rule is to build “open and complete stations.” One of the main security features of the Buffalo rapid transit system will be constant TV surveillance by hidden cameras of all tunnels and stations. The NFTA will provide security officers to observe at all times what is being filmed. Buffalo city police will also be on duty in the stations. Constant study is being given to the security aspects of this project. 25% - �RCC, Vico, CMS and HSC Ketter grants four Colleges charters by Bonnie Guewa Staff Writer Spectrum President Robert L. Ketter has approved three year charters affecting four of this University's colleges. The charters, which outline the guidelines under which the colleges operate, were granted to Rachel Carson College, Vico College, The College of Mathematical Sciences, and Health Science College. Ketter renewed the charters, which also specify the colleges’ individual purposes and goals, after evaluating a report prepared by a student-faculty chartering committee. The committee examined the academic, residential, and extra-curricular programs of the four units in detail during last semester. “The Health Sciences College is alive and well,” said the Manager, Lee Dryden. “The renewal of our charter was a vote of confidence in us.” Health Sciences College has a residential enrollment of 250 and offers 30 courses. Three new courses have been added to the college curriculum, ranging in subject from ethical values in the health professions to care of handicapped and disabled individuals. The college also hopes to expand community service this fall. Vico in print Rachel Carson College, after undergoing close scrutiny of courses, research activities, and the colleges’ relation to other groups on campus, “saw its charter renewed for the second time.” During the year, RCC faculty members received grants from the Danforth Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Environmental Protection Agency. Meanwhile, Vico College has developed a six-course undergraduate general education package concentrating on Western Civilization. Also, the college has begun publication of “Polis,” a periodical devoted to the intellectual and literacy interests of Vico College students and * faculty. The College of Mathematical Sciences, which offers tutoring in math, computer science, statistics, physics, and chemistry to all University students, plans to expand a successful lecture program by inviting distinguished scholars to spend a week on campus this year. The other units of the Collegiate System, the College of Creative Arts and Crafts, Cora F. Maloney College, Clifford C. Furnas College, Tolstoy College, Women’s Studies College, and the College of Urban Studies, were granted their respective charters in 1975, and will probably be reviewed for renewal next year.

About twenty-one have them (buses); it would be buses make the rounds to the difficult otherwise.” Commenting Spectrum on the overcrowding of the buses, the same student said, “Look, it’s a big school.” Many students share the same complaints: not enough buses in the morning, confusing time schedules, uncertainty about what bus goes where and even remarks about the overall driving of the vehicle itself. One woman said, “Around those turns . . . buses aren’t cars, you know. Those drivers get a little happy sometimes.” A student taking an art course complained about the fact that there aren’t any buses that go to Bethune Hall on the weekends. Belhune houses the Art Department and is located near the comer of Main and Hertel. The lack of buses to Bethune poses a problem for students who want to do studio work on the weekends but have no transportation. In the cold months of winter, it will really become a problem as will the current absence of bus shelters at Hamilton and Flint loops. Do you go to Amherst? When asked how they felt about their jobs, most drivers said they enjoy their work Their overall complaint is that students do not take time to read schedules and signs on the buses, forcing them to answer the same question a thousand times a day. Drivers thought that innovations should come from the students. What many students fail to realize is that they can direct ideas or complaints to Acting Director of Campus Busing, Roger McGill. His phone number is 831-1476 and is displayed on every bus schedule. He can usually be found in the Hllicott tunnel early in the morning.

Perhaps one reason for such a large demand for tickets is because the team in 1970 was known to have been a good one.

It seems that this University’s football team is students feel about football's return to their alma no exception. mater? The last time this University had a team was in 1970. How will the student body receive the Interest varies How do Answers ranged from “great" to “it depends on how well they play.” The people who thought it was great tended to think this University will more widely known that become throughout the country, and have better name for itself. One student related, “The publicity will do us good. More people will be attracted to this University because of the sport." A resident of Buffalo commented, “It will be nice to see a football game without having to go all the way to Rich Stadium and pay a lot more for a ticket." Those who said “it depends” when asked about their feelings toward football generally felt as this respondent did: “If we do a fairly decent, we will be looked at in a better light, but the reverse may also happen.” These people didn’t want to chance any the school’s lowering of reputation by a poor showing or waste any funds that were allocated for the football team. Transportation problems Another hinderance in building up student support and attendance is the problem of graduate A transportation. student said, “It’s not so much that isn’t any there transportation, it’s the time it takes going to and from the campuses. Most universities with such a football program are on a centralized everything distance campus is within and there where walking is easy interaction and communication within the student body.” Other groups that may be making a reappearance on campus are the fraternities and sororities. In the past many have been known to help keep up school activities and spirit. Perhaps they will be an asset toward rekindling the enthusiasm for the football team. This year’s home games will be October 8, October 15, and November 15. A good attendance for the first game will hopefully kickoff momentum for following give players games and the confidence and backing they need.

Theater Department policies are protested by Lee Scott Perres Spectrum Stall Writer A number of theater students have cited the casting process and unfair competition as areas which the Theater Department needs to amend The basic problem stems from the casting process of plays, according to many students. “Being in a production is like my Chem Lab,” one student said. “It is too difficult to get a part in the productions. ” Some theater students feel that people are being pre-cast by the department, placed in roles before auditions, for various personal or political reasons, possibly denying students the chance to exhibit their talent. Assistant to the Chairman of the Theater Department, Lorna Hill, denied this. “It is true that the same people are often used,” she said, "but this is due to expertise in their field, not bias. The more experienced someone is in the audition process, the better they will do in the auditions.” Hill feels that more experienced students may have a better chance, but feels the pre-casting accusation is unfounded because a number of new people appear in each new show. Saul Klkin agreed adding, "It is a fact of life in theater that you start out carrying spears and then you get leads. Theater is directly comparable to athletics as far as the competition is concerned. There is a willingness on the part of the student to start on the bottom, learn, and then work up to the lead roles. This is for educational reasons. You get experience through progression.” Elkin felt that auditions are a democratic process.

JAMES BROLIN TWO VINTAGE CAR RACES WITH OVER 80 EXOTIC AUTOMOBILES • • • • • • • • Unfair competition Some students also felt that there is unfair competition by the fellows, paid actors in residence. The theater department designs its production schedule to include certain plays for fellows only and some plays for undergraduates, for which fellows may audition. Yet some students felt that there should be shows for undergraduates only, and that the competition from the fellows is too great. Hkin explained that fellows are actors in residence who provide professional models. “It’s much like playing tennis with a tennis pro,” Elkin said. “You do it to pick up better techniques.” The students maintained that fellows who audition for the undergraduate plays get important parts, which they felt is unfair. No women’s roles The lack of roles for women has brought about the formation of a Women’s Theater Collective, which "was developed for women so they could find a place in theater,” according to Lorna Hill. The collective functions as a workshop group, covering in variety of activities from writing to acting, to improvisational groups and even discussion groups. They have tentatively scheduled their first public performance for March 2. Elkin commenting on the lack of roles for women, said, “It is very hard to create an absolute balance due to the nature of the way plays are written.” He felt the Theater Department is trying to work around this problem, but some of the women aren’t convinced. The Theater Department is putting on eight major productions, one of which has a cast of 22 men and 1 woman. “It would be unfair to cancel the play, and deny the 22 men the opportunity to work with this director,” one woman in the department said, "But surely if this is the case, then there should be some sort of balancing for the women.” Hours of rehearsal Others claim there is a lack of understanding on the part of the director concerning the students other academic responsibilities.

Work on Highway bypass has begun by Michael O’Shea Spectrum Staff Writer In order to facilitate construction projects on the Amherst Campus, the State Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) has begun constructing a temporary bypass of a section of Millersport Highway. The detour, designed by Sansati Associates of Massachusetts, will begin near the site of the concrete telephone bunker house on Millersport Highway, just north of the Maple Road intersection. The road will continue east, then curve north, circling the outside of the plant service building and Bissell Hall (the security building). The route will then turn north and rejoin Millersport just south of Lake LaSalle The original stretch of Millersport between the telephone bunker house and Lake LaSalle will then be permanently closed to all traffic. D O T. hopes to have the project completed sometime next summer. The Zoological Society of Buffalo is sponsoring an animal photography contest. Entries must be delivered to the Zoo by November 1 and must include animals at the Buffalo Zoo during 1977. Name, address, and telephone number, plus the name of the camera, must be printed in pencil on the back of each entry. Each contestant must submit Event's to be held on Hie Building blocks There are several construction projects currently underway or in the planning stages which will require the closing of this section of Millersport. The Health, Physical Education, and Recreation building (H P.I .R.) when constructed will stand directly in the path of the existing portion of Millersport. The edifice will eventually contain a triple gym, swimming pools, and a sports arena seating 10.000 spectators. In order to afford accessibility to the new Music and Chamber Hall building and the Theatre and Gallery buildings (which would contain a gallery, a concert hall, and a theatre in the round), a new road (Coventry Road) will be constructed using a protion of that same stretch of Millersport that is being detoured. Parking Jots in the area of the new buildings will be extended to include both sides of Millersport Highway and the highway itself Augspurger Road will also be lengthened and eventually will run across that section of Millersport. Circle games Plans for a permanent bypass are already underway and the D.O T hopes to begin work on that project this coming spring. The permanent bypass, however, will be longer than the temporary one. It will begin at approximately the same point and. like the temporary bypass, first travel east and then north. However, instead of circling the plant service building and Bissell Hall, the road will continue northeast make a longer circle around the outside of Lake LsSalle. It will then curve west and join Millersporl just south of the Beechwood Nursing Home. Once the permanent re-routing has been completed, which should be in about two years, the temporary bypass will become part of the streets system of the Amherst Campus. Brownrout speaks At the present time; Millersport Highway near the University is severely overcrowded. However, Amherst Councilman Gerald Brownrout claims the temporary bypass will only make matters worse because of a sharp turn at the end of the bypass which will create a bottleneck and cause traffic to back up the entire length of the bypass and possibly even beyond. The Town of Amherst attempted to negotiate with the State concerning abandonment of the detour idea favoring instead a permanent bypass which would alleviate the traffic problem. But, because of lack of funds, the temporary bypass'will have to be built jf' ' first.

Professors work together on projects, or their own individual of which programs, some originated a couple of years ago. Most of the experiments deal primarily with “power, energy sources, plasma physics and laser physics Creating requesting a project involves from either money “bias” from influencing the results. Private industries usually tend to “color” their results, whereas a college is for the most part, neutral ground. Some of the equipment is contracted from government surplus, or second hand, according to Malone. Once the project is completed, the equipment is then returned to the government.

Blackout spurs research Motivation for one exploration stemmed from the blackout in New York City this past summer. This involves the process of “high-power switching” which reduces excess electricity heading for the generator, eliminating the chances of a blackout.

Allan Bakke. and with of affirmative it action programs intended to provide equal educational and job opportunities for racial minorities and women, and reduces them to their basest and most unfortunate proportions: black versus white. Bakke is charging the University of California with violating the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment by denying him admission to medical school because he is white. If he wins, racial American-lndians, Ricans, blacks, minorities Puerto Mexican-Americans and women will suffer tremendously in their future quests for a good education and good jobs, as least as good as those of the white man. His case is the most important to come before the United States Supreme Court regarding equal opportunities for minorities since Brown v. the Board of Education in 1954, which paved the way for the commencement of school desegregation, in most cases not enforced until recently. More American people who read Newsweek will immediately relate to the image on the front cover than will fully understand the implications of the Bakke case for the millions who seek jobs and a a good education. Cover the diploma in the photo and what is left black boy and a white boy struggling with opposite ends of the same rope. Newsweek is thus determining the level on which all further discussion about the Bakke case and about affirmative action will proceed. No longer will rational academians and lawyers influence the destiny of affirmative action and of education itself. No, racial issues are always emotional and emotions always revolve around self-interest. If Bakke had been accepted into Davis Medical School, calling affirmative action "reverse discrimination" would have never entered his mind. Newsweek could have placed a woman on the front cover; in a statistical sense, women are more affected by affirmative action than are blacks. But no, Newsweek knows that it is easier for Americans to take sides on a black v. white issue than on a man v. woman issue. Women’s rights issues, such as the Equal Rights Amendment, have always had the support of at least some men who call themselves liberals and who function in the mainstream of American society. Black power movements have never had any white support, except among Jewish liberals from the suburbs and among acknowledged radicals, the latter of which tried to destroy that mainstream. Newsweek is provoking the easily provokable. Aside from being an obviously staged and ostensibly boring photo, the front cover of the September 26 issue is a misrepresentation of the real value of affirmative action. When President Lyndon Johnson signed the executive order in 1965 launching affirmative action, he said (according to Newsweek), "You do not take a person who, for years, has been hobbled by chains and liberate him, bring him up to the starting line of a race and then say, 'You are free to compete with all the others,' and still justly believe that you have been completely fair." However crippled by bureaucratic red tape and corrupt government officials, Johnson's program was an innovative attempt to redress two centuries of blatantly racist and sexist American history. The American Dream used to be a reality. Now, it can only support itself on crutches. For some, affirmative action is one of those — — — crutches. When Newsweek makes black v. white, and not equal opportunity, the theme of its cover, it is clouding the issue and perpetuating the racism (and sexism) that characterize America's history. vom WSElf, OR WEU BE ftRCED TO HAVE YOU DflE OF A HUNjERSWKE/" Ellicott dead ends opposition to The Amherst Campus is decentralized not only in terms of activities, but in terms of daily life.

Monday, 26 September 1977 hrit Martens stimulating To the Editor After reading Alice Tiffeault’s letter, I ask: “Oakstone not the Place” for whom? And, let us first ask: For whom is Oakstone the place? Oakstone Farm is group study and group living. Residents share housework, but more importantly, share the responsibility for the quality of their talk and study. Oakstone is for people who want a reflective and a stimulating place to live. Oakstone is not the place for people committed to magical changes, nor for people who say one thing but do the opposite, nor is Oakstone a place for people determined to ignore others, present and past. Janu s K Miller -ex il by Jay Rosen For you, the undecided. Words of empathy. I am currently working on my fourth major, in my fourth year at my third university in my second apprenticeship as an adult. Of course, every major my last, every school was to be my last, at was to times it seemed every year was to be my last. Indecision roomed with me during periods of my life. Like most roommates, he took getting used to, a lot of getting used to. Well, if you’ve ever read psychological self-help books, they’ll tell you to worry about decisions befory you make them, not after. This I did, mainly because I’ve always hated second guessers. So with every change of major (which, as changes, never seemed minor) came a corresponding change in (heavens) career.

A tyrannical dictatorship breeds hale and, from that, action; a tyrannical bureaucracy To the Editor. For you, the undecided. Words of advice Forget everything you heard about college before you arrived here. I mean everything. The fraction of it that isn’t untrue will hit you over the head eventually. Just make sure you aren’t too stoned to feel it. Try, if only for a moment, to view college as something other than a means to an end. The pot of gold has always gleamed the brightest, I know, but the rainbow can show you so much more. And in living color.

But try, regardless For you. the undecided Words of wisdom John Holmes once said, “hducation is not preparation for life; education is life itself.” If there is truth in Holmes’ cuteness, it has yet to strike at today’s college student. Of course, today’s college student may have yet to strike at the truth So, while Holmes lakes the argument to the extreme, the role of education in this society is really much simpler and more basic than it may appear. One of the few professors from whom I ever learned that anything about life told me undergraduate education can not really be expected to prepare you for a career. Kxcepl in the most technically oriented fields, he explained, you'll learn more in one week on the job than you will in four years in college. "All you can ever hope to get out ol it,” he said, "is to learn how to think” I nodded my head then, in silence Now I’m nodding it again, in print.

The Shield and Eagle. It was Kail Hand Jr., a member of the Klan and the subject of the story who was the editor of that newspaper. Affirmative l,i action tin l.ihlui In the Wednesday, Sept. 21 77 te Spectrum. as in ) urk week Timer, and other I he \< u publications, the reader is led to believe that .ill i r in at ■ vc action programs of necessity involve the use ol quotas. One can then only conclude that we are now faced with an either-or choice between quotas and a laissez-faire continuance of racial discrimination But returning to the original sense of the phrase as I originally understood it in " A11 1r in at i ve Action the 60's. 1 would like to present the following definition (my own) 'Affirmative Action is the commitment to institute and carry out programs that will minimize the possibility that disadvantage individuals be denied opportunities in education and lobs." And the key to the actual success of such a \ i u i . concept is compensatory training. Compensatory programs have been used already, and should continue to he offered on a much greater scale Through them disadvantaged individuals can bring themselves up to a level of competence where they can compete on merit, on an equal footing with all others. These programs have included training in communication skills, trades, etc., and remedial work in all academic areas. there are who claim that will many compensatory programs are inadequate to make up lor past injustices against an individual. But to make this claim is only to say that this individual is inherently incapable of meeting up to an “accepted" standard a premise I hope that few other than luminaries like Jensen might support. Sufficient compensatory training programs should be made available to all who seek them. Add a bit of drive, and intrinsic ability (which does vary between individuals) and you will have gone a long way towards equalizing opportunity. The implications of instituting a national and universally applicable system of quotas on any basis, be it race religion, gender, sexual inclination, or whatever, are grim: A further splintering of our society into I various groups, each vying for more representation, and an accompanying backlash on the part of groups found to be “over-represented 2. An eventual dilution of the competitive spirit that I do believe has largely contributed to enabling our country to prosper as it has few reach their potential unless motivated to do so. 3. An even greater intrusion of government bureaucrats into all aspects of our lives. Not really solving the problem of past and 4. present discriminations anyway. Within every group there inevitably exists a (semi) privileged sub-group that will get the greatest share of the pie. (Witness the disproportionate representation of middle class blacks among the blacks in our professional schools.) I sometimes get the feeling that there is a conspiracy afoot by parties on both sides of the fence to each aim for all or nothing. But as I have stated, there is an alternative to choosing between the lesser of two evils a solution where the only people who will lose out are those who expect something for nothing.

I have heard Jewish persons argue that this University wouldn’t think of am writing this in regard to Christmas Day. Maybe, just maybe folks, this is because Christmas is a LUCIAL, NATIONAL holiday.

One became apparent one night as we walked home from the library. We noticed how desolate the campus (Main Street) was and saw no evidence of security present (particularly the field between Diefendorf and Acheson). On another evening we had the opportunity to speak with a Campus Security officer on this matter. The tilings we heard from him were astonishing but unfortunately very true. Do you realize for a University of this size only 4 security officers (per campus) were on duty on a weekend night Also the following statistics appalled us Giving f for many who must attend classes on those days. I have nothing against ANYONh being helped to observe his holidays. Religious freedom is a constitutional right. But I AM asking for an LVLN application of University religious policy. This is supposed to be a non-sectarian institution, but apparently those who generate dormitory revenue get first preference. That may sound harsh, but harshness never detracts from the truth. I must request that The Spectrum withhold my name from this letter, if it is printed. I have many Jewish friends and instructors, some of them unfortunately self-centered, who may take this wrong.

Nothing can freeze, since ice melts at room temperature. Home temperatures between 60 and 80 degrees fahrenheit are fine for plants. It is dry heat from furnaces that stifles them. Misting or spraying plants daily will provide needed humidity. Any old Windex spray bottle can be used it it is first rinsed thoroughly. Be aware that some plants, particularly fuzzy ones, do not enjoy being sprayed and may develop mold. Take your plants into the bathroom with you when you have a bath or shower. Ferns especially will flourish trom a steam fiesta. An easy way to provide humidity is to put pebbles into saucers or trays and filling them halfway with water. The pot stands on dry stones while the underneath slowly water evaporates, creating humidity. VOLUNTEERS Turn over a new leaf Supermarket, plants probably receive the worst care, says Bieniek. Found in the produce section, they are affected by gases given off by fresh fruits and freon, a chemical used in freezers. Placement near delivery doors and careless watering further contribute to plants' decline, he adds. Even in the most unlikely stores, some hardy, healthy plants can be found, if you know what to look for. Bieniek offers the following tip to prospective plant buyers: look at the plant as you would any other piece of merchandise. This includes checking leaves for spots, rips and wilting, and their undersides for insects. Ideally, the plant should show new growth, such as an unfolding leaf. If the plant is small enough, lift the dirt out of the pot to examine the roots, which should be fleshy and numerous. Finally, ask the salesperson for specific care instructions and write them down. Good plant stores will invite you to call them if any problem should arise. Sun starvation In her book Plants from Plants Suzanne Grayson states, “The amount of light is probably more important to plants than any other requirement.” Each type of plant has its own light needs, but a good rules of (green) thumb is; plants with pale green leaves require more light than those with dark green leaves. Also, the thicker the leaves, the more light is needed. Cacti and other succulents are living proof of this. Put your most light-hungry plants in windows facing south or west. Winter light is better for plants because the sun lies lower in the sky and reaches farther into rooms.

Gannon, which KO’d UB 8-1 last year, proved to be no match for UB as the Bulls extended their winning streak to three. The Bulls showed that they were in control from the outset by winning five of the first six matches. Helping the Bulls to overcome the Gannon threat in the singles’ matches were freshman Tod Miller, sophomore Dave Myers, junior Jack Kaminski, freshman Ted Baugn, and Dave Blanck. The second doubles combination of Tony Gorruzo and Kevin Donovan won their match 7-6, 6-4 and while third doubles team of Jack Kaminski and Dave Myers also proved effective as they won easily 6-0, 6-2. Second year coach LaPenna cited the consistent play of his young team, especially Miller and Myers, as a key to understanding the Bulls’ success. Myers is presently undefeated in both singles and doubles play and number one Miller currently holds a 5-1 record in singles and 2-1 in doubles. Uphill LaPenna is confident that it’s all up hill for the Bulls who have one full week of regular season play remaining. And full it is, as they must face five teams in the next six days. They start today against Buffalo Stale and then face Canisius College tomorrow. After only a one day lay-off, Buffalo plays Geneseo on Thursday, travels to Fredonia on Friday, then returns to battle Cortland on Saturday. After this week, the Bulls will complete against Buffalo State, Canisius, and Niagara to determine the Big Four champion. LaPenna is optimistic that the Bulls, who currently hold the title, will repieat as the Big Four champion and possibly compete in the Nationals this spring.

Sophomore sensation Mimi Weiss disposed of Fredonia’s Tricia Morrow 6-3, 6-4. Weiss combines a smooth, two handed backhand with a vicious forehand stroke. She had some difficulty keeping the pressure on Morrow. “It was hard to keep it going because she just hit everything back,” said Weiss.

Fisher kept her serves deep, thus preventing her opponent from rushing the net. “I don’t plan it that way, it just goes where it goes,” she admitted. Fisher played a consistent game, forcing Sharon into numerous mistakes.

I haven’t played that badly in a while; it was really disgusting,” she said. The match that drew the most attention was between Buffalo’s Cynthia Glynn and Fredonia’s Lori Wisniewski. Lori is the sister of Buffalo co-captain Judy Wisniewski. With their parents watching, Lori edged Glynn 5-7, 6-3, 6-2 while Judy was winning in the first doubles match.

The larger schools like Syracuse, Rochester, and Brockport will always have good teams.” The players enjoy having spectators, but the turnout was light Wednesday, because of the cold weather. “It would have kept me away if 1 didn’t have to play,” joked Zolczer. The next home match is Thursday,4 p.m., versus Canisius at the Ellicott courts. an immediate ejection from the game and a suspension from future games, The league is under the direction of Steve Allen and the league office is in Room 113 at Clark Hall.

Well, for the first time in the history of this University, all the members of these academic sectors will be brought together in of by Senate, Student Student Affairs Will last year’s TAP dance be reheard? Last year’s Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) nightmare may prove to be a recurring bad dream for thousands of applicants and the Office of Student Accounts at this University. Early listings from Albany indicate that the Higher Education Services Corporation (HESC) is processing TAP applications at about the same rate as last year. Slowly. According to the Director of Student Accounts, William Calhoun, HESC is doing about 1S percent better than last year, which is nothing to beam about since only a quarter of applicants had received their awards by September of that year. Calhoun said the figures were not “significant” at this time. “At this point, it doesn’t seem to be that much further along than last year,” he observed. Calhoun’s office was forced to allow students to pay “what they thought they owed” assuming their TAP awards eventually came in. Many students ultimately received less than they imagined TAP would bring them, and thus owed the University unexpectedly large sums of money. Left listening “Last year we had an exceptionally lenient policy,” said Calhoun. Whether or not this year will bring the same leniency is yet to be determined, he added. Last year students were allowed to register for the Spring semester without having paid bills for the fall. HESC has supposedly implemented a “Management Improvement Plan” after the State Legislature threatened to cut off funding for the last eight months of this academic year. Last year’s TAP debacle brought a landslide of complaints to state assemblyman and senators. In response, hearings were held across the state to determine the extent of th,e problem. Calhoun feels that HESC created some of its problems by tightening the “emancipated student” guidelines. That crack-down mad** it more difficult for students to file for TAP as independents. It also added altitude to the mountain of paperwork needed to process and approve a TAP application In any event, is seems likely that when students at this University receive their tuition bills the second week in October, many will still be listening for their TAP awards.

The of a concept University-wide Olympics was first thought up last year by Reichert, who purposed to draw people from all sectors of the might who not University otherwise get involved with each other. For those of you who have neither the vigor nor the desire to compete in Varsity or intramural competition, this is your chance for compete to fun and enjoyment. According to Allen, the purpose of the event is to “get people together and involved.” “There is a void in student involvement,” commented Allen. “The only time when people get here is during intramurals, and that is basically amonst the men together Human interaction “We’re not competing against the intramural program. This is a vehicle where this University can get it together,” said Reichert. This newly formed event will provide students and faculty alike —continued on page 6— Black youth wounded KKK involved in shooting by Andy Nathanson and Harvey Shapiro Editor’s note: This is the first in a series on the K u Klux Klan in the Buffalo area. This part deals with an alleged shooting of a black youth by a KKK member Karl Hand Jr., an admitted member of the local chapter of the Klu Klux Klan, was arrested last Sunday night in connection with what was termed a “senseless and unprovoked” shooting of a black youth on September 9th. The incident took place outside the home of another KKK member, Wayne Whiteside, who once ran for mayor of Buffalo on the White Unity Party ticket. The shooting suspect was treasurer of the same party According to Buffalo Police Detective Gerald Crenin, who is also the editor of the local KJan paper, the Shield and Eagle Hand was picked up by Buffalo police based on his resemblance to the composite sketch furnished by the victim, Michael Johnson. Johnson is in Deaconess Hospital, recovering from woulds incurred in the shooting. Hand was arraigned Wednesday and charged with 1st degree assault. , Whites and wrongs The shooting incident apparently started when the victim’s brother, MacLain Johnson, began speaking to a white woman outside of Whiteside’s house at 2588 Bailey Avenue. When the woman would not answer he allegedly asked why, but received no reply. What happened next is sketchy, but according to Buffalo Chief of Detectives Ralph V. Degenhart, the woman then entered Whiteside’s home. “Some minutes later,” he said, “several men appeared and asked ‘which one of you was talking to my woman?’, at which point the victim’s brother started to drive away. Then one of the men opened fire. A talk with witness led to a sketch which led to this man (Mr. Hand) being picked up.” Klan conscienceless The shooting was called “senseless and unprovoked” by Jesse Williams, a community organizer for BUILD. Mr. Williams went on to add that BUILD’s own investigation has led him to believe that Whiteside was at the scene of the shooting. However, Chief Degenhart said, “We only have one composite sketch and we have no knowledge of Mr. Whiteside’s presence at that time.” The house where the shooting occured is a meeting place for the local KKK, according to Joel Weiss of the Buffalo Jewish Federation. “Apparently the house serves as the office of the local chapter,” he observed. Detective Cronin previously mentioned that the people who frequent the house are “a gang of whites, some kind of white power outfit.” He added that the police investigation of this case is over.

Although most dedicated athletes struggle on with limited space and it is still a equipment, discouraging and degenerating who participate problem. The students who practice their sport alone or with a dub are the most affected by the shortage because they are last on the equipment scheduling list, behind gym classes and team sports. Students feel they have some valid grievances about the facilities and want their opinions heard. The programs offered here seem many and varied, but students and faculty both feel that few sports can be practiced properly for lack of space and equipment. “We need a new mini-trampoline.” About the lack of space in the gymnastics room, Vinnie Whiteside said: “You can’t vault because there’s no room; you can’t use the rings and do floor exercises at the same time. If you want to use the high bar, you have to take down the trampoline and roll up the mats.” The area available for gymnastics is also decreased by the use of the room as a storage closet. Mops and cleaning buckets take up one corner of the room. “See that?” said John Basel, pointing to a huge green oval leaning against one wall of the room, “that’s the pitcher’s mound.” John is the captain of the gymnastics club and even with the lack of space would like to see more people join the club. He also feels that there should be repairs made on some of the equipment in the room. The torn side-horse was high on his list. Paddleball problem An angry Bruce Decker said of the paddleball facility at Amherst: “My high school had better. There aren’s any lights on this court like the tennis courts.” There are also very few paddleball courts and they are in great demand. Paddleball Michael player Robbins remarked, “There’s only one wall on Amherst and we won’t be able to use that much longer.” You can’t play paddleball in the snow, someone said. The director of Intramurals and Recreation, William Monkarsh, admits the school is pressed for facilities. “Every space is jam packed.” he said, “the paddleball courts, the tennis courts, the basketball courts all of them.” As to the shortage of paddleball courts, Mr. Monkarsh said; “We have two squash courts that we use for paddleball and two others just for squash. We don’t have regulation any paddleball courts.” ‘They don’t care’ Larry Decker works out in the Clark Gym weight room six days a week for three hours a day. He has been lifting weights for three years and thinks the weight room should be expanded. “They should have more loose weights and the room should be left open more often,” said Larry. Gary St. Onge added that the weight room isn’t big enough to serve everyone who wants to lift and his hours are severely cut when a team has to use the room. Everyone in the weight room agreed that with all the use it gets, the room should be taken care of more consistently. “It seems like they don’t care,” said Larry, referring to the gym officials. Carlo Calcador played intramural basketball in the main gym at Clark Hall last year. “When they’re running two games, there’s just not enough room to play,” he complained. Gina Sully, who uses the gymnastics room almost every ‘Department will listen’ day, noted that some of the Mr. Monkarsh is optimistic that equipment was beginning to get a the school will get the gym space little worn. In particular, she said; it needs, and he feels that - basically, this University offers a very good program. “We provide things that nobody else does," he pointed out. Monkarsh cited the fact that this school was the last to get into the State University system and so will be the last to be developed. He said that as well as a field house, “one big floor space,” the University will need more smaller gyms. “The people involved with University see the need for development of the recreational facilities,” he stated. In the meantime his department will do what it can to make the situation easier. “1 think you’ll find our listen will to department students,” he related. Facilities are open The University’s recreational facilities consist of the following: Gark Hall Gym is open to all students from 3 to 10 p.m., Mondays through Fridays; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays and from I to 7 p.m. on Sundays. Clark Gym has a main gym, a weight room, squash and handball courts, a dance studio and a pool. The pool is open from 7 to 9:30 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. To use the pool you must be a student or a member of the faculty or staff who has a “faculty recreation card.” The Bubble at Amherst offers basketball and a weight room and is open from 5:30 to 11 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, 1 to 7 p.m. Saturdays and I to 8 p.m. Sundays, beginning Wednesday, September 21. Indoor tennis is set up in the Bubble from 5;30 to II p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays and 4 to 8 p.m. Sundays. The school runs 11 intramural teams and seven special tournament events. The Student Association (SA) is in charge of the athletic clubs here. According to last year’s schedule, this year’s hasn’t been printed yet. There are clubs for: cheer leading, badminton, bowling, Ippon Judo, lacrosse, Tae Kwon Do, rugby, gymnastics, frisbee and skiing.

Open 10 am to 9:00 pm �Off-Campus Housing Looks back Office to re-open soon Makowski stepping down by Danny Parker by Marshall Adler Staff Writer Campus Cditor Spectrum An Off-Campus Housing Office (OCH) will open up sometime in the near future, according to Sub Board I Treasurer Dennis Black. The new office will be located in 343 Squire Hall and Off-Campus Housing will share the office with the Division Directors of Squire Hall, Health Care and Publications. Black said, “It will take at least one week before the office is set up and opened. The only things slowing us down are obtaining physical entrance to the room, along with phone service.” In the meantime, Off-Campus Housing calls will be taken at 831-5534. The office will be open Monday through Friday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with a secretary supplying information. The secretary will be paid from the combined budget of three Division Directors. “In other words,” said Black, “there will be one secretary for the Division Directors and Off-Campus Housing, but there will be a separate phone line for Off-Campus Housing.” By placing the two organizations in one office, “one room supervision can be maintained, except in the heavy need periods,” stated Black. No money for help To cope with the problem, during “heavy need periods,” Black hopes to hire additional help which should aid in preparing lists, and making phone calls. Right now there is no money allocated for this additional help, but Black hopes to get it appropriated at Sub Board’s next Board of Director’s meeting. Money will be spent from Director of Squire Union Activities Joyce Levin’s “Innovative Programming for Squire Union” budget. The money will be used for advertising the location and phone number of the new OCH office. There no money is allocated for OCH publications. Levin called the need for an Off-Campus Housing Office “very important,” saying, “it’s still not too late. People will start looking for houses for January in November.” Former Director of Off-Campus Housing Heidi Lewis stated “Anything is better than nothing and any amount of money they (OCH) can get together is an improvement Unfortunately, they had to stop services to discover that services could be done cheaper. At this point, most people looking for houses have had to do things on their own.” Health services at Amherst are lacking The future of student health care on the Amherst campus is presently uncertain since adequate space has not been provided for the University Health Services. Although a four-room clinic has been established in the Peter Porter quadrangle in the ITlicott Complex, it is only equipped to provide first aid. students requiring care of a physician must travel to Michael Hall on the Mam Street campus. According to Director of Health Services Luther Musselman, the situation can not be resolved until more room is allotted to Health Services. 'That space,” he said, "will most probably come from the dorms,” therefore avoiding a lag time of about five years that normally However he could forsee no vast accompanies requests for space improvement in the immediate future of the Health Clinic. The Makowski years at City Hall are coming to an end. Stanley Makowski, after four and a half years as the Mayor of Buffalo, will step down in January. The former grain mill worker, who assumed the office of Mayor when the late Frank Sedita resigned in early 1973 because of ill health, has endured an extremely stormy tenure as the city’s Chief Executive. Rocked by charges of running City Hall ineptly, being under the thumb of County Erie Democratic Chairman Joe Crangle, and being insensitive to the needs of city employees, Makowski in an hour his long interview, answered critics’ charges and discussed what he deemed to be the major of his accomplishments administration. Makowski pointed proudly to three m<yor accomplishments of his administration that he felt significantly improved the quality of life in Buffalo. One was the use of Federal Community Block Grant Funds to city make more government responsive to the needs of the neighborhood people by allowing the local people to determine for themselves how to spend federal money in their own community. Another was his keeping the city financially afloat by avoiding bankruptcy that at times seemed imminent Y onkers. for New York and The Mayor felt his third major achievement was the revitalization of the downtown and waterfront areas headed by the construction of the new Naval Park, Pedestrian Mall and Convention Center. Failures, rather than successes that these Conceding were not accomplishments politically glamorous, Makowski felt that they were necessary and vital to the health of the city and predicted that as the years go by, Buffalonians will gain a new appreciation for his administration because of these deeds. As of now, he felt, most people are more concerned with failures, rather than the the successes of the Makowski Administration To say that Makowski was mayor during a difficult lime in an history. the is city's He understatement. assumed office when the city was dying economically.

He added that services at the Mam Street center are utilized to a much greater extent than those offered at the Porter clinic and said he felt the need for expanded health care may not be immediate. He expressed the hope that as the shift to Amherst continues and the need for medical care grows, a more sophisticated and extensive system will be implemented.

Fage three �Seniors here urged to join Peace Corps Peace Corps/VISTA recruiter Tom Malloran, a former Peace Corps volunteer in Western Samoa is encouraging graduating seniors at this University to consider service with one of the volunteer programs when making career plans. “Service with the Peace Corps or VISTA (Volunteers In Service To America) can give many new college graduates valuable career-related experience which their peers may have to work years to get,” said Hallor an. “In addition to this, it is also an experience which offers adventure and the opportunity for self-discovery.” Those who are interested in finding out more will have the opportunity September 27-29, when a team of Peace Corps/VISTA recruiters will be at the placement office here in Hayes Annex B. Hal I or an suggested that interested seniors contact the placement office prior to this time to pick up applications and sign up for an interview. He requested that applications be filled out by the time of the interview. According to Halloran, Peace Corps and VISTA are in the midst of a resurgence. “You may not have heard too much about the Peace Corps and VISTA in the last few years, but we’re making a comeback,” he said “We are presently gearing up to recruit more people for more positions than we have in years.” People needed Halloran said the majority of people needed for Peace Corps and VISTA assignments are those with backgrounds in health, nutrition, agriculture, engineering and teaching. However, he encourages anyone with an interest, and a skill, to come in. In addition to having a skill, applicants for the Peace Corps must be U.S. citizens at least 18 years old, in good health, and willing to serve in a foreign country for a minimum of two years. There is no upper age limit for service with the Peace Corps or VISTA Qualifications for service in VISTA are the same, except volunteers must be willing to serve for a minimum of one year in the United States, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam or American Samoa. In return for their service. Peace Corps volunteers receive expert language training, free transportation to and from the country where they work, medical benefits, a living allowance and two months vacation. A readjustment allowance'of $125 for each month of service is also paid to the volunteer upon completion of an assignment. People in VISTA receive pre-service training, living expenses, one week vacation, free transportation to and from their assignment, and $50 for every month of service. Again, this readjustment allowance is paid at the end of an assignment. The Peace Corps and VISTA are programs under ACTION, the federal agency for volunteer service. Other ACTION programs include the Foster Grandparent Program, Senior Companion Program, Retired Senior Volunteer Program, the Program for Local Service and University Year for ACTION. Seems like a dream Oh God—still a mystery nature was related to God as His basic law “God is nature, all the laws of nature, f loods etc., are acts of God. Everyone has to get rowdy by Dave Andrews Spectrum Staff Writer once in a while,” stated one student. Another related God to mathematics. She said “He is a mathematical equation of energy that exists in all forms of matter and the universe. Math is the basis for our creation. Ideally, everyone should do well in math, because we are said to be made in God’s image.” Interestingly, a student said, “The feeling of God was similar to when I lived on top of a mountain or spent my time in a tepee at 32 degree What does Do you know what God is or isn t? religion mean to you? Randomly surveying many students on this University’s campus proved that there are wide, diversified opinions of this subject. Presently, there tends to be much skepticism and doubt about God and religion amongst students. aren’t sure if the entity exists, while others are Some definitely non-believers. “I don’t believe in them (God and religion). I believe in myself. I think that / control myself, nobody else.” This statement, by a University student, was the only one of its nature. temperatures.” Several students thought that religion was a form of brainwashing. “Religion is harmful and loo rigid. It drills certain ideas into children. It can cause mental disturbances,” claimed one of these students. Someone of the same belief said. “I’ve often thought religion is brainwashing to the extent that it is influencing an idea.” ‘Find out when dead’ When asked what he thought God was, one of the many people selling their wares in Squire Hall replied, “I don’t know, but we’ll find out when we’re dead. Until I’m sure that there isn’t an after-life, I’ll be a good person.” A better world’ “I believe in Him very strongly. When you don’t know where to turn, you can always turn to Him," was the remark of a firm believer. A similar opinion from a student was, “Cod is a power that controls our everyday life. If everybody took religion into their lives, this would be a better world Prom the same student came this instance. “My brother was confused, drinking heavily and on drugs. Now that he’s found religion, he doesn’t need them anymore. He’s naturally high on life." Another student’s sister suffered from a cancerous tumor and was pronounced incurable. “Through religion she now has perfect health,” said the student, gratefully. One student commented, “We will eventually be able to define the origin of man scientifically. I can't believe in a Supreme Being.” “I don’t like imaginary things. I want something that I can see right in front of me.” This reflects a common search and need for hard facts. “Its intangible. It’s something I can’t conceive of,” expressed another student, hinting at an inward desire to be able to literally see god. Still a mystery Several people didn’t acknowledge a Deity's presence, but expressed the need for religion’s existence. One commented, “1 don’t really believe in (iod. but I think it presents security for people A similar opinion by another student was, “It (religion! serves as a necessary vehicle for some people But. 1 see the difficulty in not having something like it.” “What (iod is, is still a mystery,” sums up the whole student aspect of doubt among the ” population. As expected, many students felt that religion wasn’t needed to be “good.” “I believe in (Iod, hut not in organized religion. You don’t have logo to church to be a good person,” said one. A similar was, “If you're good, that’s religion.” opinion “Going to church doesn’t matter. He is not waiting for us there, He is where we are now ” Energy and nature Energy was a common definition of God Also 'Satan controls earth’ All the stuff about the world ending scares me. It frightens me to think that people devote their whole lives to religion, because life is so valuable. I think they’re crazy,” conveyed one student. He’s “Jesus created the universe. He is actually Cod a lot more than people think,” stated another “Satan is ruler of the earth. Satan must bow to Satan controls the earth,” a student Cod, but theon/ed Most of the students interviewed by The Spectrum feel that religion is within themselves. They also aren’t exactly sure what there is, but believe “someone is up there.” WBFO program highlights Friday, September 23 “Prelude” (8:15 a.m.) Beethoven; Concerto in C for violin, cello, and piano, op.56; Trio in D, op.8 “Serenade”; Turina: Piano op. 35. “Friday Playhouse (6:30 p.m.) Mel Blanc Show - (.19*4) “Half the World is Woman” (7 p.m.) Women at A look at the problems'©! access to the full range Work of employment possibilities, equal pay for equal work, responsible parenthood and the myths that have women from assuming their place in the labor force. “Back to Birmingham” (9 p.m.) The Mainers Wade and T.E.: late ’30’s and ’40’s string band music in - — - transition to bluegrass. “Codfish Every Friday” (10 p.m.) Car Songs: driving as novelty to country singers, as in “When the light turns green/ put your foot on the gasoline.” — “The Hot and Blue Art” (11 p.m.) Louis Jordan: saxophonist and singer of classics like “Let the Good Times Roll” and “Caldonia.” - Saturday, September 24 The “Silly Sisters”: “Road to the Isles” (1 p.m.) Maddy Prior (of Steeleye Span) and June Tabor: English folk’s all-star team. “Folk Festival USA” (3 p.m.) Chet Atkins and Kitty Wells: In Concert at the Smithsonian Institute Both buitarist Chet and singer Kitty are popular with their “Nashville Sound” but recall their rural music roots. “When Rock Was Young” (10:30 p.m.) Top ten of September ’63. — - • - Sunday, September 25 “Prelude” (8 a.m.) Monteverdi: Madrigals; Haydn: Symphonies Nos. 103 in E-flat “Drum Roll” and 104 in d “London.” “World of Opera” (2 p.m.) Purcell: The Fairy Queen; Anthony Lewis, conducting; Jennifer Vyvyan, — — Elsie Morrison, Peter Pears, Thomas Hemsley, and Trevor the Cold War Anthony. “Adelstein on Chamber Music” (7:30 p.m.) Mo/jrl Quartet in F, K.590 (Prussian No. 3); basic chamber music library suggestion: Debussy: Quartet in g. “Voices m the Wind (7 p.m.) “The Big Band Sound” (1 1 p.m.) (I!): late ’30s and early ’40s.

What makes this case unique is not opty the fact that the amphetamine tablets were actually nothing more than caffeine, but the extent and sophistication of the phony drug operation, An trie County Sheriffs Department investigation has revealed that the confidence operation does business in at least 10 states and is complete with, business cards and citizen band radio code names. In coffee and capsules Michael McGinley, 32, of Boston State Road was initially charged with sales and possession of an illegal drug after allegedly selling the phony amphetamines to undercover policemen in a downtown Buffalo parking lot. At the time,of the arrest, the officers still believed the tablets' to be “genuine” uppers. After a lab test revealed the drug to be caffeine, McGinley was booked on charges of “scheming to defraud,” a felony carrying a term of 2-7 years upon conviction. Scheming to defraud is a relatively new statute, enacted only a few months ago. Captain Santo Costantino of the Sheriff’s Narcotics Unit said others suspected to be involved in the phony drug ring have been arrested.in other states only to be released upon discovery that no statutes existed to prosecute them. Authorities here nearly released McGinley before coming across the new law, almost by chance. By suggesting that he was selling amphetamines, McGinley enabled police to charge him under the scheming to defraud law, Costantino said. Pushing in the USA The flim-flam operation was first reported last month to the Buffalo police by law enforcement agencies in other states. The operation had business cards bearing the name “Pea Shooter” and telephone numbers for 32 cities in 10 states. One of the cities listed was Buffalo with an area phone number. Lt. Ba'tsimonian of the Buffalo Police contacted the Sheriff’s narco unit and a plan was developed to buy the amphetamines. The phone number was called and a meeting was set between an undercover cop and McGinley. McGinley arrived at the parking lot with the suspected amphetamines in a black bag. As part of his selling technique, McGinley appeared to be nervous, giving the buyer the impression of purchasing an illegal drug. McGinley was arrested after he sold Deputy Petronella 5,000 “suspected” amphetamine tablets for JI640. A big 10-4 McGinley usually dealt with truck drivers using a CB radio and the code name “Medicine Man.” The drivers were contacted, a meeting arranged and the deals were consummated, usually on the side of the highway. “Medicine Man” is a common “handle” among trucjc drivers for someone selling drugs. The extent of the “Pea Shooter” network was revealed earlier this month in a report published in the Atlanta Constitution. The paper reported that the network operates from the William Saye Drug Co. located in a suburban Atlanta shopping plaza. Saye is a former truck driver. Costantino said 100,000 caffeine tablets were shipped into the Buffalo area last month. The local branch of the operation, headed by McGinley, “was geared to do a good business,” according to Costatino. Since only 50,000 of the tablets have been found, authorities are assuming that the other 50,000 are now in circulation in the Buffalo area. The profits being made by the “Pea Shooter” network are apparently immense. The wholesale value of the caffeine tablets, bought by Deputy Petronella for $1640, is actually only $50. Simply put, McGinley stood to make a profit of $1,590 (3,200 percent) on the sale. Sources told The Spectrum that the “Pea Shooter” network had sales of $50 million last year. Aging Center to begin lecture series by Thomas Rosamilia Spectrum Staff Writer The Multidisciplinary Center For The Study Of Aging will begin its 1977-78 lecture series on Thursday, September 29 at 2 p.m. in O’Brian Hall Court on the Amherst Campus. The six lecture series will feature outstanding authorities in such fields as Nursing. Architecture, Legal Services, Medical and Health Education, all of whom are concerned with the impact of their disciplines on Gerontological science (the study of aging). The first speaker in the series, Mr. Thomas Byerts, is the Director of the Gerontology Center at the University of Chicago. Another scheduled speaker will be Dr. E.W. Busse. Associate Provost and Dean of Medical and Health Education at Durham University Medical Center, Durham, N.C. He will speak at 2 p.m. in the Conference Theater of Squire Hall on the subject of “Bio-Behavioral aspects of Aging.” Everyone invited The lecture series, which will be the fourth the center has presented, is open to the public, faculty and students. All are invited to attend these lectures which will be given in O’Brian Hall Court on the Amherst Campus and the Conference Theater in Squire Hall on the Main Street Campus. A complete list of the lecture series participants, dates and venues is available upon request in 4248 Ridge Lea. The Gerontological Center, in its third year of operation, has three main purposes, one of which is to promote courses on aging through various departments within this University. The departments, which include Anthropology, Architecture, Psychology, Sociology, Occupational Therapy and other health-related professions, lead to multidisciplinary degrees with emphasis on Gerontology. The center also promotes and encourages basic and applied research along with providing in-service training for those involved in community services for the elderly. The Center also offers a "Certificate Program on Community Mental Health Services for the Elderly” designed for social workers. nurses, and other professionals who work with senior cili/.ens. Gerontology as a discipline has grown and expanded rapidly, especially in the last six years. The Multidisciplinary Center for the Study of Aging was established largely as a response to this growing interest and concern for Gerontological science.

For him it has been a religious conviction. “Indians don’t believe in killing; the type of life I lead now will determine the life I will lead in the afterlife,” said Patel. To Patel the best food is Italian.

Vegetarian diets do vary. Helen Maroon, teacher of Shanti Yoga at an University this is Ova-Vegetarian. She on occasion indulges in eggs and fish. Maroon is just one of many vegetarians that have not experienced any weight loss or gain. “I am not lighter, although I feel lighter. It is a spiritual uplifting,” said Maroon. Another type of vegetarisnism is Lacto, in which dairy products are included in the diet. Sometimes vegetarians find it difficult to be accommodated in certain “out to eat” situations. While overseas in Korea, Professor Russell Vacante ol the American Studies Department, found that meat was neither readily available, nor a necessity. Vacante thinks of meat as "guts.” “What you’re eating is not that from yourself," said different Vacante. The student informed A Spectrum that he had been a vegetarian since he came to college. “I like meat, but feel it is morally wrong to eat animals for my own pleasure.

Many organizations on campus have banned together and have challenged rival clubs and organizations. Hopefully, other student and faculty organizations will rise to the occasion and take heed of their challenges. Allen estimates that approximately 2.000 people will participate during the Olympics. There will also be a chicken barbecue beginning at 5 p in. near the Hllicott Complex. The menu will include salad, potato salad, cake, soft drinks and beer.

These new schools have programs which are designed to attract white students. Hence the name Magnet. This innovation is Phase II of a court order requiring the integration of Buffalo public schools. Buffalo is the only city in the nation to follow this unique path for integration and the Magnet Schools are completely voluntary. Attracting In order to attract the majority white students to inner city schools, diverse curicula are being implemented. Each Magnet school specializes in a different teaching method or subject matter. In this way the parent and child can choose which method of teaching is best suited for that child. These programs would not ordinarily be available within the Buffalo public school system. It is on these programs that the Magnet school program depends. If parents did not cooperate, the whole program would be doomed. This past summer there was a campaign in the media to spread information about the various schools. Parents were encouraged to contact the school system if they wanted their children to attend these schools. The response was overwhelming, requiring a lottery for some schools in order to assure a proper racial mix. However, enrollments in the Follow Through school and the Traditional school lagged during the summer registration program, still, this has caused no major problem. Their names Some of the schools are: Buffalo Traditional, Performing Arts, Montessori School and Follow Through. Some Magnet schools are for fifth through ninth grades and others are kindergarten to eighth grade. Eventually the fifth to ninth grade schools will be expanded to the twelveth grade. In addition to these eight inner city schools, there are three more regional magnets including a Native-American school The high school districts have been re /.oned so the magnets affect more than just the elementary schools. This, too, is past the desegregation order. School authorities report that they have had an excellent start this September. Attendance has been maintained and except for a few problems with transporting children, there have been no problems. The young students are transported in the familiar yellow buses, however, fewer buses are used than if a forced busing plan had been employed. Also, under the Magnet Schools Program the children don’t mind being bussed because they want to go to school. Such is fhe primary appeal of the Magnet Schools. The Magnet Schools Program shows that Buffalo can lead the nation in a peaceful integration unlike the cities of Boston, Louisville and Chicago.

The pedalers give various reasons for choosing their mode of transportation. If the student doesn’t drive a car, he/she rides a bike because it is “the only easy way” or “better than walking.” For those living near campus, it is faster and less nerve wrecking to cycle than to drive a car because fighting rush hour traffic and finding a parking space are so difficult. “Riding my bike wakes me up and it’s great exercise,” is one student’s reason. The bikers plan to ride as long as weather permits. Most seem undaunted by cold air, but feel that heavy rain is dangerous for riding because of possible brake failure. “I’ll be riding till the snow flies,” enthused one bicycler. Path not feasible The heavy traffic on the main arteries to the campus is dealt with by circumvention of the congested areas when possible. The greater problem, however, is with pedestrian traffic on the campus itself. One student's solution: "There should be a designated bike route on campus.” The Spectrum brought this matter to the attention of the Student Police. (SA) and University Association Representatives from both organizations did not think a bike path was feasible. Once on campus, there are many places to park a bike. Bike stands are scattered all over, including the library areas and Squire Hall. But bikes can be seen secured to any convenient stationary object, especially the building signs. There are "Rally Racks” on the Amherst Campus in addition to standard bike racks. These are black metal brackets bolted into the ground with an attached cable. The rear wheel and frame of the bike are inserted between the bracket and the cable is wrapped through the front tire. The biker need only supply the lock. Lacking attendant The greatest concentration of bikes is in the Student Bicycle Compound behind Lockwood Library on the Main Street campus. This is a fenced-in area enclosing eleven bike racks. There is a booth where an attendant is to sit.

Page seven �L_ EditPrial My good friend, Bert Now that Bert Lance has relinquished, finally, the position of Budget Director and has returned a slightly tarnished but still beloved hero to his home town of Calhoun. Georgia, business in Washington can be resumed with some semblance of normality. President Carter will never live down his first interior crisis. Having been voted in as President after the blatant corruption that so castigated the Nixon years and the bumbling mediocrity of Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter was supposed to Mr. Clean the White House and open Washington's doors for all to inspect the proceedings therein. After all, what President ever ate peanuts for breakfast, lunch and dinner and had a brother who drank a six-pack of Pabst a day? What the Lance affair has demonstrated is that, regardless of the personal charisma and down-to-earth antics Lance reportedly drives a beat-up old pickup truck around Calhoun and Carter used to call on the Allman Brothers from time to time in Macon (and his own son was even tossed out of the naval academy for possession of marijuana) successful politics and finances in this country are inevitably based on what associations a person has cultivated and how they can be best exploited for individual gain. — — President Carter is not above such practice. However, his precedents own interests have been transposed and by the media into what is "good for the American people." Yet, it is this kind of interaction which best characterizes that "semblance of normality" in Washington. The fact that Bert Lance engaged in such dubious and, in fact, illegal practices such as extensive bank overdrafts for family, friends and corporate allies, the double use of collateral for loans, the sale of a personally-owned airplane to his own bank for profit, the flying of that plane to the Mardi Gras or the possible political use of that plane does not distinguish him from other bankers or banking institutions across the country. The fact is, Bert Lance is smart, and dedicated. Anyone who quits college to work in a bank to support his pregnant wife and, in a dozen years, becomes president of the bank must be smart and dedicated. He must also know the right people. Jimmy Carter, whom he met in 1970, was one of those right people. "Bert Lance is my friend," said the President. Carter has denied that he overlooked any of Lance's possible disqualifications, which are now public allegations and for which, under ordinary circumstances, he would stand trial if they were found to be true, because of their personal friendship. Yet Carter has expressed more sorrow over the dismissal of a "good friend" than he has expressed concern over his friend's illegal banking practices. Is Carter trying to condone those alleged practices, or excuse them or ignore them? One hand always washes the other. That is what good friends are for. So what else is new? The Spectrum Vol. 27, No. 13 Friday, 23 September 1977 Editor-in-Chief — Brett Kline , Managing Editor John H. Reiss Managing Editor Jay Rosen Business Manager Janet Leary - - Holy days—secular affair To the Editor I should like to respond to Mr. Roy Schmuckler the issue of the recent decision of the State University to suspend classes on Jewish Holy Days. 1 should like it understood furthermore that I do so in a spirit of genuine friendship and in the interests of constructive dialogue worthy of a University. It is unfortunate that this cannot simply be assumed tacitly, but the level of hostility, insult, and innuendo that has so far characterized this discussion on both sides, I am sorry to say makes it necessary to declare the most obvious conventions of civility, even at the risk of appearing naive. Our discussion starts, I believe, with something on which we all agree: that the State University is a secular institution within a larger society which is also fundamentally secular At its worst, a secular society supresses religious values and observance (unless they happen accidentally to conform to its own norms and goals); at its best, it fosters or at least tolerates, equitably and without privilege, religious values and practices, even those critical of its own norms and goals, so long as the good of all and the fundamental rights of each are not seriously jeopardized. (The Manson family, it will be remembered, acted, or claimed to act, out of religious conviction.) Now fostering or tolerating means at least not penalizing someone for the practice of his faith when it happens to require his absence from secular affairs. It does not mean suspending secular business for the sake of religious observation unless, of course, such a substantial majority of society’s members would absent themselves, that it would serve no useful purpose for secular business to be conducted. This, I would submit, is how religious holy days like Christmas and Raster became secular holidays in our own culture, despite a constitutional separation of church and state on - If we allow Mr. Schmuckler his disregard of such quantitative considerations (and there is no dearth of good reasons for doing so), then of course we must grant all religions, irrespective of size, the same privilege recently accorded members of the Jewish faith, i.e., suspension of University business to But and this is the core of my argument suspend University business on the holy days of all faiths would surely destroy its continuity, if not thoroughly curtail its effective life. It will be objected that Christianity is already privileged in that on Christmas and taster University business is suspended. I would answer, as others have, that Christmas and Easter are, whether we like it or not, state and federal holidays, i.e., secular holidays. If that is a mistake, it is a mistake which we have inherited historically. I do not wish to discount the fact that history may have created an inequity here, but surely the solution is not to compound the mistake. If the privileged status accorded Christmas and Easter is a cause of division among us, then it would surely be more reasonable to work toward the elimination of the privilege, rather than to aggravate the division by selective extension of the privilege (witness the charges ot “appeasement”), or fairer in the means, but worse in the result to curtail secular business by universal extension of the privilege. It is much to Mr. Schmuckler’s credit that betakes with utmost seriousness the conduct of individual classes at this University. Otherwise, he would not have worked so vigorously to eliminate a situation in which members of his faith would have to absent themselves from even a single class Unfortunately, not all students or faculty here share, as I do, his sense of seriousness in this regard. And it they are right, then both Mr. Schmuckler’s arguments and my own turn out to be quite trivial, mine more than his. - - John Peradottu Professor of Classics Knuckleunder The Spectrum is served by the College Press Service, Field Newspaper Syndicate, Los Angelas Times Syndicate, New Republic Feature Syndicate and SASU News Service. <cl 1977 Buffalo, N.Y.

A viable student union is the dynamic center of a campus, and the lack of it can only increase the alarming amount of apathy in this University. On the Main Campus, if there is a desire by a person or persons to hold an unscheduled forum on a topic of national or local interest, it can easily be done in or around Squire. Not so in Amherst, which has a deadening atmosphere and no place where large gatherings can occur. Of course, no change is possible now, since the damage is done.

In the change over, it should be noted that the University screwed itself here also. Remember that starling this semester a student could no longer receive a S/ll grade m his 01 her major and the decision to elect S U grading must be made within the first four weeks. Well they could not gel the computer fixed up to handle it 1 understand that the student would have had to go wail in the four hour line and nisi as one drops or adds a course, you would rei|uesl the S/U grade "on line." Isn't it a shame that we ll all have to wail until next year for this to lake effect. Just think, we can still abuse the system! I think the decentralization is working because if it were not. there would be much more student protest about what is being done to us I think it is far from over. I foresee more student hassles as things are made convenient for the administration at the students' expense. (Oh yes, seethe nice increase in tuition.) You wait and see, in 1984 when the Amherst campus is 90 percent complete, construction will be halted due to lack of funds. And guess what will not be built why, the student center buildings.

Egyptian lecture damaging To the Editor On Thursday night, September 20, I attended a lecture by Genertff'Abul Abghazaia and Egyptian spokesman Abul Shadi along with approximately Defending Soviet Jewry To the Editor. A joyous event occurred hj Israel this summer. After three and one half years of (protests, young, strong Mikhail Mager of Vinnitsa whs permitted to leave the U.S.S.R. to join his family and fiancee, Janna, in Israel. The wedding, under a warm and starlit sky in Netanya, provided a happy ending for this Jewish year so full of tribulations for our people. is,; A great deal of the credit for Mikhail’s release can go to the dedicated young meij and women of the Student Struggle For Soviet Jfewry, who had vowed not to rest until Mikhail was freed. S.S.S.J. ceaselessly does battle for all the Mikhail Magers remaining in the U.S.S.R. and now Rumania as well as sensitively helping new immigrants in freedom in Israel and the U.S.A. The work of S.S.S.J.’s dedicated volunteers not only produces vital material on Soviet Jews for the entire Jewish community and items used inside the U.S.S.R., but also provides an important, positive Jewish role model for their peers in the west and within Russia itself. We have a responsibility to keep S.S.S.J a clear, independent but unifying voice in the Jewish community, especially now with the frightening new crackdown centered around courageous Anatoly Sharansky whose wife, Avital, is one of our friends.

I want to bring to public attention that the speech delivered that evening was totally fabricated to damage the image of Israel. My country was represented as an aggressive country, but I stood up and tried to clarify their remarks about the October 1973 War in which 1 was a tank commander in the Suez Canal w|hen,we fell victim to their aggression when we were still praying in the synagogue. We fought for our lives. As you know, the Arab nations declared a genocidal war against Israel. Are we the aggressive country? All the millions of Arabs, who were surrounding us and still are, have in their minds is to destroy Israel economically, day and night politically and physically, instead of putting their energies, money and time into rebuilding their own brothers the Palestinians, who were victims of the Arab beligerence in 1948. In 1948, the U.N. passed a resolution establishing a homeland for Jews in the State of Israel. The day after the declaration, the Arabs opened offensive warfare against the Jews This war caused the Palestinians their problems They were forced from their homes in order to protect their lives. I felt so badly that none of the Palestinians “remembered” who was at fault. - - Checking book prices To the Editor. For years now my jaw has dropped and my eyes have bulged in disbelief after the cashier has rung up my books. I’m not taking issue with the price of the books per/se, rather, it is the idea that there is no way for people to check on the accuracy of their pricing system. Supposedly, we can find out the relative price of our books in the catalog at the door ot the bookstore. Tire catalog had the total price of my books listed at $65, while I was charged $93 at the Shaba I Moshe cashier. The catalog lists a 100 page paperback at S1.7S, while I was charged S6.S0. Without an accurate price list, how can we tell if some sleepy bookstore employee hasn’t accidentally stamped $18.95 on a $2.00 book. When you question the bookstore managers they will basically tell you that it is just too much trouble to accurately revise these price lists. I feel that out of common courtesy to their customers (even though we are a captive mcrket) they owe us an accurate price list. Steve Hackehng a .....TbtfARNTD wmremm.' Page ten The Spectrum Friday, 23 September 1977 . . Food Service profits To the Editor The Food Service dining hall in Governor’s Hall is not open on Saturdays and Sundays. Instead, residents of Governors have to go to Ellicott for their weekend meals. Mr. Donald Hosie, the head of Food Service, obviously has weighed the gains and costs of the arrangement. Given the scales he was using, he no doubt read the balance correctly On one side, he put the inconvenience and discomfort to diners, loss of jobs to workers (student and non-student); on the other side, he put the increased profitability to Food Service. Anyone who can weigh human values against profitability and find the human values outweighed is not likely to be swayed by humanitarian arguments. Besides, Mr. Hosie probably has some humanitarian arguments to offer on Food Service’s side, such as: “U.B. students should be made to exercise more,” and "Buffalo has the best year-round climate for outdoor jaunts of any area in the country,” and “A good, brisk haunt before a meal will build up hearty appetities.” Someone who thinks like Mr. Hosie could only be swayed by an forcing which argument demonstrated that Governors residents to jaunt to Ellicott has not increased Food Service’s profitability. I am not, of course, recommending that Governors residents, while eating at Ellicott, attempt any such demonstration. 1 am just curious as to how big a run on salads, deserts, second-helpings, etc. it would take to demonstrate to Mr. Hosie that the expected in increase had not profitability materialized.

(Laughter) Well, that happens in this music quite — ... often. MFH: Yeah. Same thing happened with Paul Gresham. I think you met him downstairs. Joe: Oh, I've known Paul for a long time. MFH: Yeah. That happened a few weeks ago in UB's Fillmore Room they were playing there, and Paul was playing the alto clarinet for the first time. I asked afterwards what he played, and he . . .

He's rehearsed in the scale, rehearsed in the theory, rehearsed in . . . what he's doing in life, you know? But there's still things that can happen that can surprise him. That tune was just born, right then and there. However, that feeling has been around for a while. MFH: That bump-bass thing. Joe: Right! Right! See, that's a feeling. I mean, he just fell into that. Maybe he just created something off a feeling that was there; he added some kind of dimension to it by just being there, and we were, sort of, just bouncing it off of each other. Like he threw me a lateral, I threw him a lateral, you know. Paul: Excuse me, Joe. I didn't come in here to get involved in this at all. But since this cat's got . . this tape (clears his throat) very few people know that you've worked with Miles. (Turns to surprised tapist). Hae you talked to him about that? (Note tapist; from Surprises never end.) Tell me about it! Paul; (Smiles) Well, let Joe tell you! He's right here! Joe: Well, it was a very interesting kind of gig. I only wish that it lasted a little longer. But, by the time I had gotten with Miles, I had been a bandleader for ten I still love years or longer, and Miles as a musician, and as a human being. I love him as a person with a tremendous sense of humor. But. by that time, I had some firm ideas of my own; it was difficult to go under that umbrella that Miles throws on you when you're in his band. When you're with Miles, it's about Miles. So, vtfiile I wished it could have been longer, I had to pursue what was, already for me, firm ideas. I'm still grateful for that experience with Miles. MFH: ... MFH: What was that?

It's my right shoulder rocking forward in stiff, demented little jerks that can't help themselves from identifying with the heartbeat or urgency in, around and throughout the music. You can't munch on The Talking Heads, you've got to inhale them, way down. And way down is where they connect with a feeling you've had but never heard before. It's like the time you were staying up, late. And staying up was all you knew in the metallic white 4:30 of Hellicott. It was just when the lights all started to buzz at you; to flouresce and crackle through your haze,and you became aW»re of a rush of energy, different from the kind you were so recently bereft of, and this kind takes you up, as they say. It makes things seem very distant and very clear. It's creative. If your body could illustrate your mind right now, you'd look like a demented marionette jerking and smiling like the fool you know you're not. Sometimes at the very latest, smokiest dawn end of a party, your corpse will get up and dance like that, and it's very pure and delightful. That's when you would most resemble David Byrne: lead singer, dancer, composer, and guitar romancer of The Talking Heads, onstage. It's not punk. Elemental hot tar But in New York City. Manhattan, where it's almost always 4:30 a m., they're in the living room of someone's apartment and the cool, glistening sweat of quavering creativity is slipping down the walls. A frustration is being excreted, ever so smoothly, sensuously, artfully the repetoire of The Talking into neat piles of wit and emotion Heads. This guy who looks like crazed Anthony Perkins is massaging his groin and yours with the motion of his electric guitar. He moves in staccato, cadaver movements which all combine to produce the sound, at once jerky and smooth. A true lollipop of a girl named Tina Weymouth is playing bad bass, rolling down hot tar for the boys to play on. Elemental urge moves the drumsticks of Chris Frantz, and Jerry Harrison, new member and ex-Modern Lover, has learned to complete their conspiracy on organ and guitar. They take raw emotional energy, it, and play it back, in tact, only distill it, electron microscopically magnified to reveal the regular and perfectly defined patterns within chaos. — Squire Ticket Office Subsidized by SA Activities Offer open to daytime undergrads only! — Talk, Heads The Talking Heads were "Visual Arts Students" once, at The Rhode Island School of Design, before they decided to put it all to rock. They were originally The Artistics and became Talking Heads in N.V.C. David Byrne has grasped a personna that's so real, it hasn't quite grasped itself. They're detached but still enough in touch to play it for us true and self-mocking at once. In Toronto it's one o'clock and a guy in the audience yells out, "I "Come on Heads, talk!" So they do. In "New Feeling" they say wish, I could meet everyone, meet them all over again. Bring them up to my room." And they sing "Don't Worry About the Government". And he shouts "Stay hungry, stay hungry (competition is death) stay hungry." Because hunger keeps you awake, makes you aware like you couldn't be with a fat meal in your belly. - — — Red-light screamers The sound is pop and bounce and sex, but it's the sex of celibacy; frustration and longing and hilarity. And it was happening at The New Yorker, a hip movie theater that'll give you the real thing only very late on a Friday Night in Toronto, where the crowd is devoted and wise and hungry. After the opening atrocity. The Scenica, showed us how bad and boring music can be when sloppiness is the substitute for rawness, the geniuses of late-night scream released us all. "When my love, stands next to your love, I can't compare love, when it’s not love." And it went, 'Tweet, tweet, tweet. Tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet. Tweet like a little bird.", which hooked us all on their single, "Love Goes to a Building on Fire", one half of the entirety of their currently available recordings. But their album is due any second and promises, like Mikey sez, to be the album of the year.

One would think this quartet has been jamming for years if it weren't for the sheet music. Lee Morgan's "Speedball" is being preformed with the same fluidity as it is on Stanley TCirrentine's album Cherry . However, the slick sax of Turrentine is not present here. Instead, Rio Clemente is taking the leads on piano. Everyone listens in awe as Rio flies up and down the keys. Both his right hand and his rhythm hand are wailing along, reminiscent of Oscar Peterson. Ralph Rilies, the drummer, is up next. He takes two measures and Milt strays back to his vibes for four himself. The two continue the standard alternation for a few more bars. Finally, Jackson swerves back to the head and finishes off the number. MJQ leader Bags (Milt's nickname), is the original bebop vibraharpist. Dizzy Gillespie first saw him at a Detroit jazz club and hired him to play in his big band. It was with the Diz that Milt first gained national attention. From there he played with the likes of Todd Dameron, Thelonius Monk, Woody Herman and countless other greats. Jackson is primarily known as the leader of the Modern Jazz Quartet. Beginning as the rythym section for Dizzy's 1946 48 big band, the personnel consisted of Bags on vibes, John Lewis on piano, Percy Heath, bass and Kenny Clarke, replaced by Connie Kay in 1955, on drums. It wasn't until 1953 that the quartet gained popularity and began to sell. The group played for over twenty years, venturing into many musical experiences. They travelled and earned respect world wide. In 1974 they broke up allowing the musicians to again work on their own on a regular basis. Milt was then able to play "my own kind of music plain, straight, swingin' jazz of bebop or whatever you want to call it. — Blows 'em away One of Milt Jackson's greatest assets is his ability to start swinging from almost a dead start. This style was brilliantly portrayed in "Feelings" (Tide track from Paglo, 2310-774). Milt takes the head (melody) and slides along enticing a toe or two to hit the floor. He sways slowly from the theme and begins to swing. This is enough for Ralph Rilies as he swings in with his two swift sticks. Bassist Martin Rivera keeps a safe steady beat as Milt blows 'em away on this "mellow" pop tune. The mental state of the musicians is always a prevailing factor when listening to any band. When the crowd senses that the performing artists are grooving, th< whole atmosphere becomes more potent. Such was the case at the Statler Hilton’s "Downtown Room' Boisterous applause When sitting out on the solo's. Bags didn't just sit out. He stayed next to his fellow craftsmen and made it known he was into the music as much as anyone on the stage or at the tables. The audience responded with boisterous applause throughout the evening. This is usually the case at the downtown rooom. There is always a diversified crowd and all have one thing in common a taste for good ja 17. There is usually a small cover charge (three dollars for Milt Jackson), and drinks are two dollars. However, if you're an enthusiast it's a great buy. Bags' repretoire Friday included "Saint Thomas", a Sonny Rollins tune from Milt's latest album. Milt Jackson at The Kosei Nenkin , Miles Daves' "So What" and "Cherry" (title track from the previously mentioned Turrentine and Jackson CTI recording). Each was superbly backed up by the rhythm section and had Bag’s unmistakable touch In the words of Quincy Jones, "He is a naturally developed musician. He has perfect pitch, perfect time and perfect technique on the vibes. I never have to discuss or plan the swing and the feeling with Milt; I can feel him all the way, no matter what he's playing." Try to catch Milt Jackson so you can feel him too.

This is heard magnificently on "Winged Bull" a haunting bagatelle that suspends time and space and launches itself into the arenas of suburban oscitancy. Lyrically speaking, the song is a shade on the arty side, but that's all underscored by a series of effects and affects that'll soothe any rock n’ roll heart.

Every now and then know it's kinda hard to sell, but I'm still alive and well. —"Still Alive And Well" Johnny Winter, 1973 / " Texas rock Winter came Friday 'n roller Johnny to Buffalo last night from Syracuse via and played a set that he taxi, called neither terrible nor tremendous. Maybe the fact that his band couldn't catch a plane or rent a car was a bad omen It was missing something, perhaps (sufficient incentive to play, or maybe it was just an off night. Johnny's completely new band, consisting of Ike Sweat (bass, vocals), Pat Rush (rhythm guitar, vocals) and Bobbi Tarrello (drums), was one of the poorest I've seen him play with. Winter got off to a very slow start with an unknown number which was a straightforward rocker lacking both good vocals and guitar work. "Easy Rider" followed, but with the same results; little vocals, hardly any lead guitar work, and above all, an unsteady sense of balance in the band. Although still early in the concert, Tarrello's drumming was out of time. "Busted in Boston" highlighted bassist Ike Sweat's vocals and a fair solo from Pat Rush But once again, very little was heard or played by Johnny Finally cut loose The pace quickened with the lassie rocker "Bony Moror the drum solo could have been left out. As it turned out it was an uneventful classic. The almost packed house at Shea's Buffalo loved it, though. Next, what I had been waiting for,a blues piece. It started off fairly well, but got bogged down by the poor rhythm section. No way could this song be compared to his previous efforts, especially on his newest Columbia LP. "Nothin' but the Blues". Winter finally cut loose his classic Rock 'n Roll: a medley of standards, Rolling Stones "Jumping Jack Flash and Bitch”, where he not only started to get hot but got the audience to their feet clapping. Now he was ready to play. Unfortunately it was too late. An encore was evident: why stop a good thing? He roared into another Stone's tune, "It's All Over Now", and ended almost triumph with a bluegrass piece. - — Gross well received Still alive and well? Indeed But really playing? No siree. Terry Coates opened the show (whoever he is) tight forty five minute set which was well teceived and deserved an encore The following are excerpts from a Johnny Winter interview which took place after the do with him. So finally in 1976 he was asked to call Steve Paul and myself and when I found out, it just flipped me out because I had alreadu known Muddy and we were ready to play, so it just worked out. There was no B.N.: What about Edgar? Do B.N.: Do you have a new studio album in the works? J.W.: Yeah, but Muddy's got an album coming up so I got to do that on (produce it) before I carry on with whatever I'm going to do. I'll be doing one, but I haven't got any songs written or anything, so I'll start to do something after I take care of Muddy's album. Besides we've got one more gig to go in Norfolk, so it'll be awhile. you plan to get together again in the future? J.W.: Tm sure we'll always play, we'll always be the Winter brothers. The reason we don't play that often is that Edgar is and classical, basically jazz whereas I'm blues and rock 'n roll. We appreciate what the other one does, it's just that we can't play together all the time. problem getting together for the Hard Again album, it was too much. So after that we went on tour with James Cotton and then Muddy was on my album Nuthin' But the Blues. He had that presence, charisma, he would just sit on his stool and do anything or nothing, it didn't matter. It was Muddy The 11, 12 year old girls would just freak out.

Page fifteen �Talented musicians in new Pepperwood Green remember the re-union jam All the fun we had Playing till the early morn sometimes good sometimesbad Four years drinking in the local bar Not to close not too far Summer's here things slowing down Time to move, start getting around —'The Pastime" copyright 1977 / — To accept latest incarnation of the Pepperwood Green band is to acknowledge the many trials and tribulations founding members Donald Kraus and Ted Lehman have undergone in the last four years. Formed in 1974, the moniker was first used to front a trio with a heart of folk intensions. With the addition of a drummer, the band moved on to electric country and blues. Later variations of Pepperwood Green swung over to a funkier feel, complete with pseudo jazz overtones. Since then Pepperwood Greens have formed and disbanded, members have come and gone to form splinter groups such as Tender Buttons and The Pointless Brothers. With the new sextet, Kraus and Lehman have established a talented and artistic horde of musiciahs that best compliment their creative songwriting talents. On each cut a memory flickers, bringing forth a touch from every gone, but not forgotton mural yet there are no restrictions, they blow for a total sound and take advantage of all their unique eccentricities. Seen live, — notice the sheer immediately authenticity of their sound. An original "Windswept Beaches" proves better then you ever as Robin Green's cultivated tonal harmonies paint a shimmering backdrop. The quality is always equal to Fleetwood Mac, the sound never betrays authenticity. A message is there: I’ve on windswept beaches Building castles in the sand I've walked among the redwoods now But do you understand Last night I sung my song to you Although it was not planned / gave to you a part of me and The world was in my hand sat the stage, Ted to accoustic, from six string bass. He is the lead singer. Donald plays electric clarinet like an obsessed Instruments crowd switches from electric Capt. Beefheart and throws in various whistles for effect. A bouncing elf, Robin Green prances forward to join in on accoustic guitar and then races back to hei awesome keyboard structure. Her flute exchanges weaving textures with Donald's stairway runs. With Robin upfront, Joel Thomas fills in on piano. Elsewhere he supplMa the rigid bass to which Wild Will must add syncopation. Paul Raagan Misaranto is the second lead guitarist and he is let not a "No. 2" role deceive you as tasteful a compliment as Ted Lehman ever had. Collectively they are six deft individuals: almost an orchestra. Robin Green, a powerful instrumentalist does not deny the creative expression which is her songwriting. Unexpected, Robin bends cliches and finds new insights in some of pop cultures most indentured heroes. "Lois Lane" is a most effective change; a woman's view in an almost impossible relationship. Proof these lyrics! - Has your Superman saved all of Metropolis? And has the winged horse flown to a better planet? Well.

Amidst its two year career, Spyro Gyra experienced a number of changes. The first came with the departure of drummer Tom Walsh who left to perform with such recording groups as The O'Jays and is now on permanent retainer with the rock group America. A number of drummers sessioned with the group until the skills of Pete Vitale were adopted. Vitale is the present drummer performing with Spyro Gyra.

With the percussive reinforcement of Spyro Gyra Lattimer, now performs as a quintet; Emile's expertise soundly expanding group themes much like it did with such established performers as Nina Simone and Richie Havens, whom he accompanied for four and a half years.

Fiddle-flautist Peter Seman is a part-time musician, who would swindle nickels from an innocent woman, given the chance. Guitarist Mike Stern, who is allegedly "really smart," is reported to have a wife and three illegitimate children. It's the only way the other Pointless Brothers can explain his mysterious abscence from this interview and practice.

As far as inspirations go, his creativity has not so much involved his physical surroundings as it has the music of his generation. Seven years ago, Mike became intrigued with the overall performance of Blood, Sweat, and Tears and with the guitar work of Chicago's Terry Kath. He then began to focus on the improvement of his own guitar work by playing to Kath's recorded music. Bad to great "I was really bad for a year or two. But about the third year, I got better and started to play some lead parts," he reminisces. Today he is one of the finest jazz guitarists in Western New York. Citing his jazz idols as the inimitable Chick Corea, George Benson, and Al DiMeola, the guitarist points out, "I emulate the electric guitar of George Benson and the accustic guitar of Al DiMeola, but I don't copy their music. They're just great influences." Smiarowski had the chance to show off his guitar work for DiMeola during his stint at Toronto's El Mocambo Club this summer. And unique Fraz, not Fonz, a local Tonawanda neo-Nazi pagoed. At one ffpint, he even tried to . . . er . . . ah , STRANGLE ME. "My god, what are you . '' DiMeola was impressed. "He'll be replacing me in a year or so. Or be playing with me," commented the convinced DiMeola. Practice pays the During summer months, Smiarowski practiced and played with backup guitarist, Rob Gworek, for a show at the Holiday Inn. His hands ran feverishly along the guitar's neck as he played his own impressions of DiMeola's "Mediterranean Sundance." Later, Smiarowski recorded a number of songs which he gave to various local record promo men to listen to. Atlantic Elektra Asylum Promotion person Carroll Hardy seemed very impressed with Smiarowski's style and is now persevering to persuade Menperor records to listen to Mike's music. Mike is working on an original "That Song," a moving piece of quick At present, composition, tempo jazz. Another composition is that of "Spanish Suite" comprised of an improvisational piece, a romantic Spanish piece of slowly played chords and ending in a very hot mood. It that seems Mike Smiarowski has a very promising future in the jazz field and promotion men would be well advised to sign this man to a record contract before someone else beats them to the prize.

Lead singer/guitarist Peter Labonnex is the key to their basic molecular structure. Labonnex as grasps that great missing link which ties today's punks with 60's power pop The Farfisa Organ. Does this put the group into a class with the Doors and the Stranglers? No! Try a less cerebral sound like the Music Machine or the Syndicate of Sound. A trio, the Blue Reimondos, evolve basic patterns into melodramatic undulations, excursions into cold stone. Roller rink organ moans searching for an expressway to your heart. Drummer Bruce Cree Ton, a Maureen Tucker fan if there ever was one, and bassist John Bee King are the sliding trumps which hone songs of spasm into posthumous chants of previous proceedings. A number of them, specifically "Tarzan Jane Hungry," "Kryptonite Tonight," "Leisure Suite," "New Regime," and "Let's Blast Bigfoot into Outta Space," are gunuine A-sides, pure pop for the now people. And a live romp is not complete without one of their stupendous remakes of "Nights in White Satin" or "Batman." Jonathan Richman's "Road Runner" is also treated in that rare and bizzarre Reimondo's style. Go see the light. — The Good If it's the melody of "People are Strange" that dances through the head of Peter Labonnex, then it's the early street poetics of Jonathan Richman that is staplegunner to the forehead of the Good's lead guitarist/song writer/spokesman.

Here's the logic: The parents won't like it, but the bored and neurotic kids will find it idealistic and chaotic and for that reason they will love it to death. The music will provide the long-awaited kick in the ass desperately needed. Mark Rage beats himself with a chain as he sings. When Lip Service jump into the Ramone's "Beat On The Brat,” he brandishes a good old chunk of Louieville Slugger. Watch out for Jamie Hooper on guitar he could be Buffalo's answer to Ross the Boss Funicello of Dictator's territory. His Johnny Ramone type chording is a cinch.

Drug Swatika is the drummer, Randy Hopper the bassist. Control, desire, energy! Perhaps the Richard Meltzer School of Rock and Roll Song Writing could donate a couple of hot jems, so these guys can soup up a '45.

Another high point came with the addition of reknowned session percussionist Rubens Bassini. Bessini, who has performed with the likes of Sergio Mendez and Spyro Gyra is a product of intense fusionism. Although it could be classified as jazz, the album draws from every style imaginable; sounds ranging from African to Latin to Rock.

Friday, 23 September 1977 . 16— "How did the Pointless Brothers come to be?" I hear you asking. Ah, that is a wonderful yarn in the great American Tapestry. Judd and Peter could not be kept down on their farm, having seen Quong Ming. They attempted the student life at Buff State, but seeing how that would be relatively impossible compared to the glamorous life of a superstar, they got a job playing a coffeehouse at their former institution of higher learning. Then they were hired for another job. Unfortunately, former banjo player Arthur decided to jolt them. In Seman’s words: "He told us he was gonna move up here, a couple of days before we were supposed to play, he called us back and Despondency said Tm not coming back. I'm not moving here . . abounded. To fill the hole, they dragged notorious bum Charlie off his park bench. Upon finding out that he really did not know how to play the banjo, they informed him "That's O.K., we'll let you borrow ours." Actually, Charlie had come to Buffalo to take guitar lessons, but Frank Zappa would just not make the trip up here to teach this potentially brilliant student. Instead, Mike (who is George Jones' vocal coach) worked out a few arrangements with the novice, and the Pointless Brothers played their first bar date in March, 1977. That was in Pandee's in Depew, where they have remained hired by the Pandolfinos, "really nice guys" for every Friday. Since then, they have moved onto such other establishments as the circus (cor. Military & Grant) on Thursdays, CPG's the last two Tuesdays of every month, and the Recovery Room (Elmwood & Kenmore) on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Not to mention the memorable date with David Bromberg last year in the Cold Spring Warehouse. But if they had their chance, they'd all like to play with the Beatles. Except for Charlie he'd rather play the nose flute with Prodigal Sun �RECORDS China (Rocket) much help. It is always difficult to listen to a new rock band. Something doesn't jive. There is no basis by which to judge Johnstone plays a great guitar, but his singing adds little to his all-round talents. His voice often has a vague, artificial sound, and the reverberation added in the studio give it too much body and too little natural clarity. Throughout the album, and especially on two cuts, "Meet Me Halfway" and "Broken Woman," this is evident. Ironically, the back-up vocals (Elton and Kiki Dee) are too clear. I was hearing Elton John when I should have been hearing Davey Johnstone. Elton uses his skilled and distinct harmonies to create an almost "Bad Blood" (by Neil Sedaka) affect in the first cut, "On the Slide." This is O.K. I guess, for Elton John, he has a reputation. But I would expect more an an individual approach from China. As a whole (music and arrangements included), the album isn't bad. James Newton-Howard adds excellent arrangements of the caliber of those in Blue Moves, his first major attempt with the Elton John Band. The music is very pleasant to listen to, and the lyrics have a realism all their own. There is one cut, "Savage" in which this is most evident. In it, Bernie Taupin writes: Sure, Boston and Foreigner are exceptions, but exceptions are rare. Steve Miller, Fleetwood Mack, and Boz Scaggs all had to build up to an album that people could finally accept. It sometimes takes many tries until the chemistry finally comes together to yield something fruitful. New bands are, by nature, unique. They bring to the audience something besides mere instrumental talents. it. This should have been the case with China. China is a brand new English rock band comprised of four fine musicians: Cooker lo Presti on bass, Roger Pope on drums, James Newton Howard on synthesizer and keyboards, and Davey Johnstone on vocals, guitar, and mandolin. The latter three are members of the Elton John Band. In fact. Elton John does the backing for them\ Along with Kiki Dee and Dee Murray, it almost comes off as a sequel to Blue Moves. And to add yet another spark to the flame, Bernie Taupin has helped to write several songs. So one can observe that China had plenty of solid help.

The only real problem with this album is deciding who are listening to. Most of the Elton John Band, including Elton John, are here, so it obviously can't sound that much different.

Serengeti Minstrel (Atlantic) Joined by such notables as Woody Shaw (trumpet, flugelhorn) and Jack Dejohnette (drums), Sonny describes "this musical event a success." Although there are reasons upon which this statement may be justified, one ought first examine the effort more thoroughly. w m master musician, Sonny employs various musical techniques quite effectively. Examples are As a the 5/4 and 13/4 rhythms of “The Afro Americans" and the album's title cut respectively. Yes, one might say, it's no big deal but it does provide variation to even the undisciplined listener, which is a quality too often lacking. In contrast to some of Sonny's other works, this album is comparitively easy listening (What, no wild honk-calls, horn rasping, and breathless wheezings from Sonny et al.?). Partially correct. Along with Kenny JJarron (Fender Rhodes, only), Gary King (Bass). Sonny Figueroa (congas), and Rafael Cruz (percussion), Sonny's compositions are treated with finesse and power without the sloppiness too often heard. Melodie tunes such as "Bacchanal" and "Not all dreams are real" provide the foundation from which Sonny explores. Cruz, Figueroa, DeJohnette had never worked together prior to this release. The end result, while not being the powerhouse one might expect from Santana (as on It Linda Ronstadt. Simple Dreams (Asylum) Know what this would be if Jerry Brown were President? "First Lady Sings the Blues." Apparently Andrew got hold of the rocks while panning for his own Gold. When Ronstadt is straightforward and sings those ballads without the weltschmerz inbued by the individual composers (particularly Warren Zevon, J.D. Sother, and Eric Kaz) there is no one better. Period. Whether or not she looks seventeen or seventy is not the point of Ronstadt's career. Whether or not she can handle the influence of her numerous gentleman musician friends may be. Since Heart Like a Wheel, the trend has been encouraging Ronstadt to rock out on at least a few numbers. Unfortunately, we all can't be Ann Wilson. Especially on the last Hasten Down the Wind, "Give One Heart" was one of the weakest songs Ronstadt ever chose. It seems that Linda realized Mick and Keith would provide her with a bit of better rock than John and Johanna Hall, So "Tumblin' Dice" turns up on Simple Dreams. And it almost works, until the forced-sounding finish. But only "You're No Good" could outshine the Holly-Petty "It's So Easy." I hear that it's the opening song on the current tour. Ronstadt has got to be wiping the floor with them on it. But except for those and Warren Zevon's "Poor Pitiful Me," (which fails for a completely different reason), the rest of the LP is an excellent collection of persuasive and lyric ballads. It's nice to see that she chose "Sorrow Lives Here" by Eric Kaz, rather than "Slowin' Away," which is going the way of "Love Has No Pride." The obligatory J.O. Souther cut, "Simple Man, Simple Dream," is sweet in its simplicity. The Dolly Parton duet-traditional is an example of something at which Ronstadt is very agile: using the slightly sour sound of a dobro as the solo accompaniement for her overtly and femininely medodic voice. "Blue Bayou" is of the genre that Ronstadt favors, and is the best golden cover of her repertroire. The problem with the Zevon songs is that they were written for the treatment given them on Zeven's own record. Without that electricity, the lyrics lose their bite in Linda's sweet and sticky sauce. This hat happened in the past with both J.D. Souther and notably Karla Bonoff. Bonoff's own interpretations have more by way of emotional and instrumental power than Ronstadt can give with the power of her voice. The cover art indicates that Ronstadt can't decide whether she'd prefer to be regressive or realistic. The music covers all bases. The set of ballads is somewhat homogeonous, but seems less emotionally put on that say, "Many Rivers to Cross," or "Hey Mister." There isn't anything as good as Tracy Nelson's "Down So Low," but it's stilt a fair vocal showcase. Next, we hear an interpretation of the Getteysburg address. -Barbara KOmansky a —KAftrtfG n CLASS TIME 4:30 5:30 pm (Tues. - BASEMENT OF CLARK HALL - & be noted and Lotus), is quite respectable in its own way. They managed to achieve a tightness behind Sonny and Woody's horn lines (with occasional flute overdubs). The solo arrangements are well placed but execution appears a weak point for Mr. Shaw. No problem, for in the title cut the musicians, while seemingly placing themselves into their music, elevate and approach the Weather Report format, excluding the electronics. This selection heavy disposal enables Sonny to explore some of those regions previously uncontacted It would, therefore, appear we've oxausted the potential. While not entirely correct, it approaches the truth. "Never again is such a long time" features Sonny on flute with Jack Wilkins accompanying on electric guitar. There exists a disquieting harmony between the brusquesness of the flute and reserved harshness of the guitar. It almost succeeds since thi men compliment each other and form a which then drifts into a flute fade Nice. two This album demonstrates a certain versatility in each musician, yet is corrected, entitled after that vdiich is the focal point of the structure.

But this album does live up to expectations. Released earlier this year in England, Sneakin' Suspicion never really caught on. This was strange because after their previous — release. Stupidity, "The Feelgoods" established themselves as one of the foremost rock and roll bankds in the British Isles. Their overall sound hasn't changed much since they gave everybody their fity cents worth in the Fillmore Room early '76. However, their energy level on this album is hardly comparable to a live Feelgoods gig. The songs, written by Wilko Johnson, are not worthy of his guitar playing. Wilko's tunes are by far the weakest on the album. The title track is not produced loud enough, thus, it falls flat. Because of differences in direction, musical and otherwise, Wilko quit the Feelgoods while Sneakin' Suspicion was being prepared for release. I can understand the conflict. Wilko led the act famous for his gangster gear and catatonic choreographies, Wilko presented the group's image. (He even designed the group's logo, a fiendish-faced grin wearing sunglasses.) But Wilko's musical creativity appeared to be stumped. The music is in fun and of course there is no "message" but some of these tracks are so cliche ridden that it borders on plagarism. ("Paradise," "Walking on the Edge," and "All My Love," to name a few.) Nevertheless, most of this album has enough basic drive to make you carry on till you drip sweat. The rest of the band is very tightly polished, Lee Brilleaux's harmonica work is excellent, especially on "Nothin' Shakm'." John Sparks' bass is just what's needed and The Big Figure, an earnest graduate of the Dave Clark School of Drumming, supplies the necessities. On this album, Tim Hinkley does the keyboard work. One of the more prominent of London studio men. Hinkley led Boz (Bad Co.) Burrell, Mitch Mitchell, Henry MacCullagh, and a host of others around the Isles as "Hinkley's Heroes." Hinkley plays on most the tracks and fills in any bf the gaps with riffs similar to Ray Manzareh when the Doors played rock. Regretfully, the second side of this album is not at all exciting. It could be used for music at a greasers bar but that's about all. The best track on the entire disc is "Lights Out" written by S. Davis and M. Rebennack (sound familiar?). This is a true rock out song a la Little Richard that justifies the album. Now that Wilko has been replaced by an unknown guitarist from Northern England John Mayo, I'm not sure of the future of Dr. Feelgood. Wilko was indeed an asset during The Feelgoods rise but he was never &ie Doctor. The Feelgoods have never attained the notoriety in America that they have in Britain and Ireland, and from this release it is possible that here they will remain a cult band for closet punk rockers.

Its nutritional qualities, sweet taste and low calorie count appeal to yogurt and ice cream lovers alike. Although its popularity has recently boomed, frozen yogurt is not a new product. Originally an East Coast phenomenon, the first stand appeared in Cambridge, Massachusetts S years ago. Frozen yogurt did not begin to attract national attention, however, until Bloomingdale’s of New York City began serving it in 1974. Today, yogurt stands are springing up all over the country, with ice cream parlors, restaurants and fast food operations eager to capitalize on the increasing demand. Recently, a controversy has arisen over the nutritional values of frozen yogurt. Currently, there are no federal regulations that specify what can and cannot be put into it, although the Food and Drug Administration is in the process of preparing frozen yogurt standards. Its whipped Regular yogurt is sold by weight; not so frozen yogurt. Air is — beaten in and the yogurt is whipped to give it fluffy ice cream texture. The FDA regulates the amount of air permitted in ice cream a half gallon (64 oz.) may actually weigh as little as 36 ounces. However, as there is no such standard for frozen yogurt, a half gallon of yogurt could conceivably weigh less than 36 ounces. Some natural food enthusiasts argue that frozen yogurt is not all it’s cracked up to be. Additions of sweeteners such as sugar, corn syrups and fruit preserves, thickening agents lecithin, gelatin and guar gum, while natural products, detract from the health food properties of the yogurt itself. A good point most frozen yogurts are made with skim or low-fat milk, giving it a 98 percent fat-free content. At this University, frozen yogurt is available at most Food Service establishments. According to cafeteria staff, about 12 gallons are sold each day in the Rathskeller. The freezer machine, installed a year ago, only holds one flavor at a time, and the selection is varied as much as possible. Many students lunch on “frogurt,” which costs $.45 ($.48 with tax) for a dish or cone. LhI ■l] - Low cal banana Frozen yogurt comes in various forms and a spectrum of flavors. Soft, you can have it in a cone or cup, add a favorite topping and it becomes a sundae. Flavors range from chocolate and vanilla through strawberry, lemon, raspberry, banana, black cherry and the fruits pineapple, to name a few. Frozen yogurt has the advantage of being as delicious as ice cream with a fraction of the calorie count. It ranges from 25 to 33 calories per ounce, whereas ice cream starts out at 52. The cone can be good for you too. Many yogurt stands carry an “all natural” cone made with whole grain flours. These contain 19 calories apiece, the same as regular or wafer type cones. Popular rolled sugar cones are 37 calories each. Soft or hard? Frozen yogurt comes in a hard form too. Local supermarkets stock Bison Brand’s All Natural Frozen Yogurt, hard packed in pint containers. It comes in four flavors chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and raspberry and contains 93 calories per serving that’s 372 for the IT FEATURES A WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP RACE BUT THERE'S MORE CAMPING 12 HOURS OF FREE MOVIES KODAK CAMERA DAY 27 PENTHOUSE PETS INCLUDING PET-OF THE YEAR NAVY PARACHUTISTS SCHLITZ OCTOBERFEST BEER TENT TOYOTA CELEBRITY RACE.

With a little imagination, frozen yogurt can be transformed into an exciting delight. Toppings of crunchy granola, raisins, coconut and chopped nuts are favorites, as well as crumbled chocolate chip cookies and candy sprinkles. Sundaes can be made too, with additions of honey, crushed pineapple and natural fruit syrups. These extras increase the calorie count of course, but are a delicious treat if you’re feeling extravagant. Freshman Jane Hudson comments, “1 love it. It’s better than ice cream not as sickeningly sweet.” Another student cites its low calorie count. “I can eat it and not feel guilty.” The popularity of frozen yogurt is growing every day.

Come to the Qilukst cPdace otyc Hurst ftace Campus Editor Despite widespread student belief to the contrary* this University does not favor Western New York High School Graduates in its admissions procedures, according to Director of Admissions and Do it AH Night. at by Danny Parker 3264 Main Street (Across From U.B.) Records Richard Dremuk. SUNY at Buffalo 14-15,000 freshman receives between applications every year. Approximately 4000 of these applications are from Western New York (the eighth Judicial District), and approximately 11,000 are from the rest of New York State. There is a very small proportion of applicants from out-of-state. This University expects a freshman class of 2500 students this year. This means that approximately one of every six students who applies, eventually attends this University. The guidelines used by the Admissions Office for determining acceptances are based on three factors; high school average (through the junior year), a percentile rank-in-class after completion of the junior year, and a standardized test score, either the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or the American College Testing Program (ACT). Director of Admissions and Records Richard Dremuk said, “No system is foolproof, but this is the best ! system available.’’ Students ranked Applicants are given a ranking number for each of the three factors. The lowest score is dropped, and the other two are combined to give each student a final rank. In 1976, 7800 students were accepted at this University with ranking numbers running from ope to 6862. This is for the initial cut-off. Waiting list applicants were drawn from numbers below 6862. The reason ranking numbers do not equal acceptance numbers is because ties exist in ranking. In 1976, approximately 51 percent of the students applying from W.N.Y. and 55 percent from the rest of the State were accepted. The factor that provides this University with its 50-50 split between students from W.N'Y. and the rest of the State is the number of acceptees who finally decide to attend here. Approximately 56 percent of W.N.Y. students offered admission here decided to attend, compared with only 18 percent of students from the rest of the State. This school popular “In other words,” said Dremuk, “this University is not necessarily the first choice for students applying outside of W.N.Y. This University is establishing a very high reputation for itself, especially in Western New York where academically and financially it is increasing in A PHONE geta 5.95 nsio $ FRE popularity.” In terms of final enrollment, 55 lercent of the students at SUNY at Buffalo are from W.N.Y., 25 percent are from the metropolitan New York area, and the remaining 20 percent are from the rest of tiie state. Trie County has the greatest number of students here, with Nassau County second. Dremuk stated, “High schools in this state are similar enough that varying scores and exams could be handled accurately.” Dremuk provided these figures for 1977 Admissions.

Dremuk stated, “Test scores are declining rapidly throughout the country.” Separate policy The only exceptions to the pooling ranking, and acceptance procedure are students who apply under the Individualized Admissions Program Said Dremuk, “It is very hard to measure creative ability with the ranking procedure.” The Faculty-Senate Committee established a 'xd y?A j I * | \v\ • separate policy for students who believe their scores are not an accurate representation of their ability. Currently, approximately 24,450 student arc targeted for enrollment this year. This figure includes undergraduates, professional students, Millard Fillmore College night students, visiting students, non-matriculating students, FOP students, and foreign students. The original target goal was a 35,000 student population, but that figure was contingent on completion of the Amherst campus. mi hi mm am ma ma am am ■ coupon am ma ma m ma m ma ma am A Curaet Eiperieice Yu Shuii Nit Nits!

The economic foundation of the city had been jolted. people With fewer and businesses in the area to pay ■MTD . taxes, Makowski struggled to run the city’s economy with a shrinking tax base. Consequently, he felt he had no alternative but to trim the city payroll and refuse to give pay increases to any city employees. This was not only a tough political decision for him to make, but a. tough emotional decision as well. Many of his long-time friends and supporters in the city’s labor unions turned him. against Ortartol cooking supplies. «top by my store for a ...FRESH... i u, Mm Seroutt. In RoM Wm Tan Shin. VtRlaMt. _HRL Makowski, extremely an sensitive man, said this hurt him very much. When he held a fund raiser at the Statler-Hilton and had to fight his way through the jeering crowd of city employees to enter the hotel, Makowski came to the realization that he could no longer be mayor. The physical, mental and emotional pressure was too much for him and his family to take. The biggest and most publicized criticism of Makowski became his supposedly too close relationship with Joe Crangle. As the recent Democratic primary has shown, the people of Buffalo have had enough of Joe Crangle’s iron-grip type of politics. In previous years, an endorsed Democratic candidate in Buffalo was almost guaranteed of being elected. This year, however, it was more of a hindrance than a help. Clearly, the people have had their fill of “regular Democrats.” Stan Makowski with his 22 years of public and party service was seen as being the most “regular” Democrat of them all. Many people felt that it was Crangle, and not Makowski, who ran City Hall. The Mayor stated that this was a complete falsehood and said he considered Joe Crangle a friend and ally, but not a boss. Makowski asserted that he consulted with Crahgle if he from softie ; help wanted Washington (Crahgle is a close friend of Senators Humphrey, Muskie and Moymhan), or if he wanted to resolve a controversy with the Common Council, but that he never took any direct orders on how to run the city from Crangle. Whether this is true or note, the close association between Makowski and Crangle, more than any other factor, spelled the end of Makowski’s political career. Ambivilant feelings The last nail in the coffin for the Makowski Administration was the Blizzard of ’77'. As a result of the city’s poor job of snow removal (some streets were left unplowed for two weeks), the media charged that Makowski did not run a competent and efficient City Hall. The Mayor responded to this in the interview by simply stating that he did the best he could, given the severity of the storiti and the lack of adequate sno w»removal equipment. Although it is difficult to legitimately blame Makowski for the consequences of such a natural disaster, his handling of the situation became a major political liability. Looking back over his Administration, Makowski stated that he had ambivalent feelings. He felt truly honored to be able to serve his fellow Buffalonians for 22 years. The Mayor believes that during his public life, he had done many great things to help the City of Buffalo. In this respect, he is sad to be leaving office. However, he is glad to be able to escape permanently from the political pressure cooker. How history will treat Stan Makowski is not yet clear. What is clear is Makowski's honesty, his sincerity and his sensitivity us a person who truly tried his best to improve the city.

Courses in Talmud, Judaism and Feminism, Beginning and Intermediate Hebrew, Jewish Law and Israeli Folk Dancing are on the list of subjects being offered by the Hillel staff and selected instructors. The goal of these non-credit courses is to study the traditions, ideas and literatures of Judaism in relation to one’s own life as a Jew. They will generally meet once a week for eight weeks, IVi hours each session, and will be free for University students and staff. For more information about times, courses and instructors, call Hillel 836-4S40, come by the Hillel House at 40 Capen Blvd., or stop by our table in Squire HaB on Monday. It is not too common for a pitcher to hurl a no-hitter, but when he does so in his debut for a team, it's even more unusual. But transfer Greg Fisher did just that in his first UB start last Thursday. Fisher struck out ten and walked only one in his near-perfect effort against Canisius. Coupled with the two perfect innings he pitched against Oneonta, Fisher ended the week with nine innings of hitless ball, and earned the title of this week's Athlete of the Week. Honorable mention goes to booter Jim Randelt, who picked up a hat trick in his team's win over Syracuse. United Skates of America US* ROLLER SKATING •V $1.00 FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS SHOW ID.

Buffalo also defeated Fredonia in the scrimmage, 3 matches to 2. The most important function of the scrimmage was to try to find a setter. Before the game, Weinreich said he had four players in mind, but when the match was finished, he had narrowed the field to two captain Barb Staebell and junior Sue Trabert. “Those were the two people 1 was most impressed with,” he said. “I - hope to go with them.” Staebell and Trabert were impressive and brought the line-up a cohesiveness it lacked with other setters. They are both in their third year on the volleyball team, so their experience will be an asset as well. Weinreich also wanted to see how the five freshmen on the team played, and he got to do that with one exception. Akemi Tsuji, the player he especially wanted to see, was sidelined because of an accident which required some stitches in her hand Down by two The coach was pleased with the other freshmen, but none of them were especially impressive. "There were some outstanding qualities Weinstein The Bulls lost two games of the match before they came back to the third. In the first (wo win games, both teams look disorganized, and the Bulls were having problems some with hitting. and The blocking freshman looked a little nervous in their first intercollegiate game, but later seemed to calm down in each of the freshmen, and some each that needs in work," said Weinreich. Since the last cuts were made and the final team members were the only chosen this week, scrimmage also gave Weinreich a to test out different chance line-ups. In each game, he tried a different combination, hoping to find ones that work out well This scrimmage won't count in the team’s record, so Weinreich did’t have to worry about winning. "1 wasn't too concerned with winning," he said "If I had stacked the line-up, it wouldn’t me check out helped have different in people different qualities positions Trabert stars In the third game, the two teams traded points for a while until Buffalo went ahead behind some impressive serves by senior Hilary Schlesinger. Kredonia’s serving was off, and Buffalo won that game, 1 5-9. Buffalo’s best effort was in the final game. The Blue Devils took " an early lead, but the Bulls got it back on some nice serving by from blocking Trabert and freshman Debt Bateman. The teams traded scoreless serves (or awhile until Trabert came up again to the line and served up four more points. Trabert was impressive throughout the game, in both serving and setting Alter some long timeouts to clear up a line-up mistake. Trabert served the winning game point. will Tomorrow the Bulls compete the Brock port in Invitation Tournament.

Friday, 23 September 1977 The Spectrum Page twenty-nine �‘Squeak’ by Brockport Tennis team bows to mighty U. of R. Golfers defeat Buff State by Marie Meltzer Spectrum Staff Writer The women’s tennis season opened Monday as UB suffered a 6-1 loss to a powerful University of Rochester (U of R) team. Buffalo was beaten soundly, taking only three of sixteen sets. The players and coach agreed that Rochester is their mightiest foe this year. There were happy moments for the Bulls, however. Lynn Kirchmaier. a Rochester native, teamed up with Lynda Stidham to top U of R’s Joan Freed and Leslie Feldman 5-7, 6-3, 6-4 for UB’s lone victory. “It was great,” said Kirchmaier, who was playing before her father and brother. Stidham, too, was happy, “We really played well together,” she said. Mfani Weiss, perhaps Buffalo’s best player, battled Diana Blythe before succumbing 7-5, 6-4. After Weiss’ narrow defeat, the remaining singles players fell quietly, including the second singles player senior Diane Defalco, who lost to Cathy Pickut 6-0, 6-1. Doubles success Defalco. a former first singles player to UB, hasn’t played much since last year and felt tense during the match. “I warmed up all right. I think it was just the pressure of competition.” Co-captain Judy Wisniewski and partner Chris Schum experienced some success against Rochester's Rama Poell and Marty Post. They managed to win the middle set before losing the match 6-3, 3-6, 6-3. Rochester won 62 games in the singles as opposed to 19 for UB. Buffalo’s doubles players, however, held a 32-26 edge. “We have good doubles players, and our singles are coming along,” noted Coach Camnitz. The team has had only two weeks to get organized, and Camnitz hasn't yet fully evaluated the squad. The team might get some help from two returnees, Carol Waddell and Suzan Rury, who aren’t in top condition yet. The next match is Monday at Brockport Slate. Correction In last week's Prodigal Sun, a story on UUAB’s Sound Tech Committee erroneously reported that the committee had recently purchased S40.000 worth of new sound equipment. In fact, the Sound Tech Committee has just purchased $10,000 worth of equipment which, added to the $40,000 worth already in its possession, makes a total of $50,000 worth of sound equipment.

The student corporation Sub Board 1 Board of Directors voted uanimously to instruct its lawyers to proceed with litigation against the University. The long expected decision comes on the heels of University President Robert Ketter’s official concurrence with an earlier rejection of the GLS program issued by Associate Vice-President for Student Affairs Anthony Lorenzetti. Sub Board’s GLS proposal would use student mandatory fees to hire an attorney who would represent all fee-paying students at no charge. The University administration has consistently maintained that the program does not adhere to SUNY-wide guidelines for use of mandatory fees. Those guidelines allow fees to be used for programs of “educational and cultural enrichment of benefit to the campus community” and for “student services to supplement or add to thos provided by the University.” The administration feels that the concept of individual legal representation does not benefit the campus community. Students felt otherwise, contending that the program at least fits under the “student services” portion of the guidelines. Services not acceptable Seeking clarification of the matter, the University queried SUNY Chancellor JAmes Kelley for his opinion on the proposal’s legality.... Kelley responded in a letter toKetter that certain programs, which might be construed as “services” may still not be acceptable should they violate another portion of the guidelines. Thus, he also felt the GLS program was illegal. Kelley reasoned that the proposal, while being a “service,” was not “of benefit to the campus community” and thus not allowable under the guidelines. Kelley wrote that “it is our view that individual legal representation is of such a private and personal nture that it does not conform to the concept of mandatory fees.” Clarification helps Based on Kelley’s opinion’s, Lorenzetti’s consistent opposition to individual representation, and his own personal view of the program’s legality, Ketter wrote in his rejection to Chairman of Sub Board, Mftch Zoler, that “I agree with the decision that the use of mandatory fees for individual representation is prohibited by the Trustees Guidelines.” Both students and administrators had expected the decision all along. Assistant to the President Ron Stein, said, “We welcome the opportunity to get clarification. Anytime we get clarification, it helps.” Though Stein would not comment on the possible outcome of the law suit, students were willing to speculate. “I’m very confident,” said Director of GLS David Brownstein. “I’d be very surprised to lose.” Student Association (SA) President Derinis Delia said, “I’m pretty confident about the court case. We have an incredibly strong case.” The original program was devised over a year ago. In the time between its first drafting and last week’s final decision, it has been rewritten and revised. Administrators raised many objections to the program, some of which had little to do with the mandatory fee guidelines. They felt the program would be swamped with cases, that it would aid the “criminal element” on this campus, that the University’s public image would be tarnished, that students in general might not want their fee money going to defend criminals, among other extemperaneous things. Investigate before launching Hence, while the central issue has always been individual representation, the administration had many objections to the GLS program. Brownstein felt that Delia may have been hesitant about taking the issue to court. “Dennis was concerned with the administration’s holding back of projects due to bad feeling about challenging them in a legal forum,” Delia explained that he was only investigating all other avenues before launching a court battle that might take over a year. “I was anxious to try and get everything we wanted and not go to court. I wanted the program for this year. 1 know how long things can drag out in court.” “Going to court is a serious thing,” Delia felt, “1 thought we could succeed by fooling around with semantics. It turned out we couldn’t so we’re going to court.” —Jenson Buffalo mayoral candidates ‘Bossing’ each other around by Harold Goldberg City Editor must look to the future. The University is one of the greatest in the world and we must make use of its resources. We must utilize its economic, cultural and social assets for the entire Buffalo area.” The most volatile issue in the mayoral campaign is still the subject of political “bossism” in City Hall, jddging from the responses of the three major candidates, Arthur Q. Eve, James Griffin, and JohnPhelan in a New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) forum held Monday afternoon in Squire Hall’s Haas Lounge. Assemblyman Eve insisted from the outset that he did not open arms. He has been insincere County seek Chairman Joe as far as bossism is concerned.” City owned utilities NYP1RG panelist A1 Greenberg queried the candidates about the possibility of city owned utilities in Buffalo to curb the current endorsement which Crangle’s came a few days after Eve’s upset victory in the Buffalo primary. He commented that he was not “Crangle’s man” and that the County Chairman sought to support him to secure his job. run its own power system. Griffin and Phelan were more Still, Democrat Conservative Griffin and Republican Phelan maintained the stigma of Crangle had pervaded the Eve camp, implying that Eve’s campaign was now run by Crangle. Protesting Crangle “I stand on my 19 years of public service of integrity and honesty,” protested Eve. To this, Griffin stipulated, “Mr. Eve welcomed the endorsement with Phelan continued the bossism debate by saying he was the only candidate who was not involved with a political machine because Eve and Griffin were managed by Chairman Crangle and former Chairman Crotty respectively. by Then Griffin retorted observing Republican that Chairman MacKinnon had run Phelan’s campaign thus far. In response to the shift of the to the University Campus all candidates the decision to move was incorrect in the they believed not to have built the Amherst agreed that to Amherst first place. it a mistake campus on Buffalo’s waterfront. But it was Phelan who put forth that “we monopolies’ skyrocketing rates, ultimately passed on to the Eve consumer. responded enthusiastically, expressing the hope of seeing Buffalo eventually conservative in their replies. Anticipated Griffin, “We must wait for the result of a court case Massina reviewing certain in financial possibilities before we take any action. We have to research the matter fully.” Phelan conveyed a simitar message. “We must look into the subject with more depth but we must make the for equitable rate structure everyone,” he said. .—continued on page 17 — �Interpreting James Doohan: Scotty conies to life by Michael F. Hopkins Spectrum Staff Writer Janies Doohan. “Scotty” of Star Trek fame, spoke to an enthusiastic audience in Clark Gym last Friday evening, and in his oratory, proved to be as direct and frank as the starship engineer he portrayed for three years on TV. I only wish the audience had added more to the event than enthusiasm. Among his first words were “I know that you’re here, not for James Doohan, but for Chief Engineer Stott.” It is wondered, as all wildly dapped, if any caught the wee note of tragedy hinted in that crowd-catching quote. I could not help but remember the happenings of a year ago when Bill Shatncr spoke in this gym. Shatner, a versatile actor and poet who (aside from Star Trek and The Tenth Level) has rarely received the acting roles his talent his deserves, brought and Shakespearian training knowledge of science fiction to spin a tapestry of Creation’s first beginnings and Man’s to search and himself yeanlings in short, the the Universe essentials of what we, and Star Trek, are hopefully about. The crowd, on the whole, was not there to be entertained by Shatner’s artistic play, but rather, to see an ego-ridden caricature of “their” Captain Kirk. Most missed the fact that the man was there in foil dimension. Nimoy’s reluctance to rejoin as Mr. Spock. (Do ohan, however, did not discuss the fact that Roddenberry and other science fiction writers, including Harlan Ellison, had written excellent scripts* for the proposed movie only to be rejected by producers who dubbed them “controversial” and “unsellable” while at the same time selling devilbabies barfing and Mary Hartman soap-pimping). He later touched on one reason for Nimoy’s stubbomess: the fact that Paramount, thru syndicating Star Trek, has made millions while the stars have received almost nothing. (One only wonders what Paramount makes on the toys: “Capture the Klingon, the enemy of Star Trek!” Really .) If, as Doohan pointed out, there are “fans” who fanatically hate Nimoy for asserting his self-respect, they are to be pitied as much as those in the industry who give no respect. As Doohan stated, “Don’t hate him. Leonard has his reasons, and they’re good ones. He’s a beautiful guy.” He added to this the point that if the new Star Trek docs not continue to promote the creative and entertaining values for which Roddenberry and so many others conceived it, “... then I won’t be there long. For that matter, neither, I think, will you.” the need of science to come to the people’s needs, he said, “I know there are a lot of other things you but I would have to leam, too of as you, voters ... like to ask aU to support NASA ... support science.” The finer implications of this simple statement are unlimited. there was The audience another matter. For those who are confused and confuse, a performer (and for stiff lips; An artist must entertain, if only an idea, huh!) comes to elevate and entertain an audience, while an audience has the responsibility to receive and interpret the actor’s play, and not block the play with ego games unrelated to what is happening. ... I nod ring Trekkie Trivia’ While students . listened to Doohan’s speech, they fumbled the ball when their turn came to The opinions. voice quest km/answer exchange became a mismash of “Trekkie Trivia” and worse, old and tired questions such as “What does the T in James T. Kirk stand for?” or “How many starships are in Starfleet” or “Didn’t you feel guilty about dumping the tribbles on the Klingons?” dominated. The questions would not have been quite so insulting had they not been brought up time and again, usually seconds after Doohan answered them. This left Support science virtually no room for questions He requested the audience to trying to deal more than further support science, saying, superfkally with Star Trek, which “All you have to do is ask a sick were shrugged off by Doohan, by New Star Trek ‘controversial’ Doohan, in his talk, discussed person what advantages the flight now fully sensing the sway of the and crowd.

In order to be eligible for the Olympics, a country must be a member of at least five Olympic sports federations. Each federation is the governing body of a sport or group of sports. The letter, authored by Representative Jack Kemp (R.. New York), alleges that "under relentless pressure from the Soviets and Third World nations, the Israelis are' being forced out of the 26 Olympic sports federations, one-by-one. on technicalities." Israel has already been excluded from the European Soccer Federation because, the letter claims, Israel is not a European country. “Turkey is just as near-Asian as Israel,” Kemp said, noting that Turkey is still a member of the European Soccer Federation. According to University Police Pot law won t change much by Paulette Buraczenski Campus editor The new Marijuana Reform Act of 1977, which decriminalizes minor use and sale of marijuana, “really doesn’t change the way we deal with marijuana on campus,” according to Director of Campus Security Lee Griffin. The law makes possession of up to twenty-five grams of marijuana (about seven-eighths of an ounce) a violation, which is not legally a crime. “This is midleading in many aspects,” said Griffin. University Police will continue to deal with, the use of marijuana in the same manner it always has. “We don’t tolerate open public abuse of any drllg, and this has not changed because of the new law,” said Griffin. Before the Marijuana Reform Act of 1977, New York’s pot laws were extremely harsh. Possession of even a quarter ounce was a Class D Felony, punishable by up to 7 years in prison. Sale of marijuana (even handing one joint to a friend was a Class C felony, on the same criminal level as First Degree Assault. (See chart for current New Marijuana Penalties. ) Public confusion The term “public place” (the key to the new laws), is surrounded by an air of confusion. “Public place” includes streets, highways, buses, planes, trains, terminals, schools, parks, playgrounds, hallways, and lobbies of buildings, places of amusement, and “any place to which the public or a substantial group of persons has access,” according to a NYPIRG marijuana pamphlet. “The bathrooms, but not the stalls, and hallways in the dorms are examples of public places, but a dormitory room is not,” said Griffin. When asked to comment on how the new law will affect security on this campus, he said there are no groups of undercover officers who patrol the dorms in the hopes of finding drug abuse, and that “we would not enter a student’s room without a search warrant.” While Griffin said that “drug abuse was never a high priority concern,” he warned that those who use drugs are “playing with fire” and should especially be fearful of local, state and federal police. One interested student said, “It’s almost impossible to get busted in the dorms unless you want to be busted.” Ban begun Israel has already been excluded from the 1976 Asian Games on the grounds that security costs would be loo high. The letter claimed that those grounds were “phony.” In addition. Red Army and C/ech basketball teams refused to play in Israel last year, and Soviet and Arab teams refused to compete in this year’s World Chess Olympics, held in Israel. Israel was also banned from competing in last month’s World University games, held in Sophia, Bulgaria. “Most observers are convinced that when the final crunch comes Israel will be excluded from remaining federations on the grounds of racism; its opponents using the anti-Semitic United Nations’ resolution equating Zionism and racism as the instrument to force such exclusion,” the letter said. “The American people and their representatives in Congress will not sit by idly and watch this happen,” the letter continued. The letter warned that this possible exclusion could lead to the end of financial and popular support of the Olympics. It furthermore said that the USOC should be a powerful influence in halting this exclusion, since the USOC is one of the “principle sources of support for the Olympic Games and the host for the 1980 winter Games.” — - Mayoral candidates questioned Chief of the Narcotics Bureau at the District Attorney’s office in Buffalo, Joseph Mardini, said that statistics concerning the number of arrests under the, new law would “not be available for sometime.” Mardini added that the new law “would nut have substantial impact,” since the guidelines were similar before the enactment of the new law. According to Mardini, “major violators will be prosecuted as major violators.” Buffalo Mayoral Candidate Jim Griffin said at the Mayoral Forum in Haas Lounge Monday, “I voted against the bill. I want to see it (the law] especially with regard to children under stricter. 18 years of age.” Candidate John Phelan said he was “personally opposed to the use of marijuana,” but added that he was helpful in passing the A.C.D. laws (adjournment in contemplation of dismissal), where a case is then adjourned fur up to a year and automatically dismissed, unless the defendant is brought back to court. At the NYPIRG sponsored Mayoral Forum Arthur Eve simply said, “1 voted for the bill.” .. No penalties anyplace One NYPIRG spokesman at the Forum, Lew Rose, expressed his concern with the bill, “1 question the motives of the legislators in reforming the law. The way it appears to me, the reform was a response to a fiscal crisis... to save money on jailing, prosecuting and petty harassment. Reform should have been a response to endless research proving it (marijuana) less harmful than products available on the shelves in drug stores.” Another student commented, “The new pot law is a step in the right direction, but it is very deceiving. Penalties remain virtually the same except for when smoking in one’s home. Most people still smoke together in public places like concerts, in their cars, and at the fountain area in back of Squire Hall. I those people get caught, the penalties are still too stiff. There should be no penalties for smoking pot anyplace.” Taiwan already out Precedent for excluding a nation from the Olympics was established in 1976, when the Canadian government refused to allow a team from Taiwan to compete at Montreal. The Canadian government recognizes only the government of mainland China (which, incidentally, did not send a team). Kemp, concerned over the increasing politicization of the Olympics, quoted Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic games, as saying. “The entire plant is its domain. All Gaines. All Nations.” Information regarding the attempt to exclude Israel from the 1980 Olympics was brought to Kemp’s attention by Joachim Mailre, a former member of the East German Nordic Ski team, who now resides in the United States. Maitre has written a book on Olympic politics, and is working closely with Dartmouth professor Jeffrey Hart to alert the public to the anti-Israel efforts.

Rage .three �Groups take opposing sides on affirmative action by Jay Rosen Admissions policies Managing Mitor When the Supreme Court sits down October 12 to begin hearing oral arguments in Allan Bakke vs. The Regents of California, it will do so without the benefit of dear-cut support for either side by the Justice Department of the United States. The Department has filed a brief with the court that takes no stand in the most important civil rights court test since Brown vs. Topeka Board of education in 1954. The department's neutrality in the case reflects the nation's difficulty in choosing between affirmative action programs on the one hand and equal protection under the law on the other. The Justice Department's brief, written by Solicitor General Wade H. McCree. attempts to sketch a legal line between programs it says set illegal racial quotas, and what it terms constitutionally acceptable efforts to consider race as one of many valid factors in admissions decisions. Carter concurs Black leaders and other supporters of affirmative action have attacked both that opinion, and President Carter's refusal to come out wholeheartedly for Carter affirmative action. reviewed two drafts of the brief, and generally concurred with themes they set forth. Blacks and many officials in feel that higher education anything less than full support by the Justice Department could mean the end to affirmative action programs which were conceived in the mid-1960s in an effort to overcome the past caused injustices by discrimination against minorities. The brief argued that the establishing of specific quotas for minorities, as the University of California had done, was basically unconstitutional. Members of the Congressional Black Caucas reacted angrily to this opinion, feeling it clashed distressingly with Carter’s previous views on minority rights. affected Supreme Court hears case by Richard Chon Staff Writer A case currently before the U.S. Supreme Court could conceivably change the course of professional education in the United States. Bakke vs. The Regents of the University of California is now Being weighed and its decision may strike down the long standing efforts of the civil rights movement involving “Affirmative Action,’’ the policy of establishing quotas for minority students in medical, law and other professional schools. The case began in 1972, when Allan Bakke, a 32-year old engineer from Halo Alto, California, applied to medical school. He was accepted by none of the ten .to which he applied, though he was placed on the waiting list at the medical school of the University of California at Davis. in the summer of 1974, Bakke filed a lawsuit against the University of California, Spectrum stating that he was a victim of “reverse that the policy discrimination," and of Affirmative Action was unconstitutional. The Supreme Court of California voted 6-1 against the University, stating that “to uphold the University would represent a retreat \n the struggle to assure that each man and woman shall be judged on a basis of individual effort alone.” The case is now before the U.S. Supreme and its outcome will have a definite impact on many colleges and universities across the nation, including this University. Court, Officials here are convinced of the effectiveness of Affirmative Action, and firmly believe the policy is achieving some success. Rudolph M. Williams, Assistant Dean of the Medical School here and the President of the National Association of Medical Minority fcducators, reinforced this belief last week. “At this school, the uompetitiveness of minority students has been quite good,” he said. “Back in the mid-sixties, there had been no push for minority students, and perhaps then the University was not sensitive to their needs. There was an unconscious discimination. The admissions board was making an active effort to secure the best qualified students to go to medical school.” The department's position, the caucas said, could do “irreparable damage to this President’s policy as it relates to 25 million black people." Traditional allies oppose quotas In addition to mirroring nationwide indecision, the brief reflects differing points of view UB Symphony Band HAS OPENINGS FOR CLARINET FRENCH HORN & PERCUSSION (Possibly other instruments depending on ability).

Cipolla, “I don’t think that they were looking at the total health care needs of the country and the area that we live in, and the personnel that could deal with them.” Affirmative Action was enacted in the late 1960’s, as a result of Civil Rights legislation passed by the Johnson Administration. It reached its peak at the medical school here in 1974-75, when minority enrollment reached 10 percent. It has tapered off recently, however, much to the dismay of some medical school officials. Still, SUNY at Buffalo ranks among the nationwide leaders in terms of minority enrollment. Williams was outspoken about the possible consequences of the Bakke case. “My only question,” he said, “is how do you expect the caboose to ever catch up with the engine without some special help? 1 mean, as long as we keep the same pace that we’ve kept in recent years, some people will never catch up. So unless we speed up the caboose and give the minority folks something extra, they will never catch up. There will always be second class citizenship for minorities.” Williams was optimistic about Affirmative Action’s future, and offered some observations. “I think Affirmative Action can work, in terms of admissions of students into medical school. I think we’re doing a fairly good job right now. But the one thing that we must always be cognizant of and vigilant of, is that we do not lose sight of our commitment in view of such things as reverse discrimination, as illustrated in the Bakke case.” As things look now, though. Affirmative Action has a poor chance of survival. Although if is believed by many observers that diversity on college campuses is desirable, some feel that achieving that diversity through a quota system is not. The academic world has been violently split between two opposing viewpoints, some holding fast to the belief that Affirmative Action is necessary to achieve racial diversity, others maintaining that it is merely a revenge seeking device against white males. The answer will prove difficult to come by, and the alternatives uncertain. within the federal government. Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare Joseph A. Califano urged the government to take the side of the University and minority quotas, as did officials of other agencies. Groups such as the Anti-Defamation Leage of B'nai B’rith and the American Jewish Congress, traditional- allies of black and labor organizations, have come out against quotas, and in favor of the “American principle of judging people on the basis of their individual worth and capacity rather than on the basis of their race.” Califano urged the government to encourage the institution of • Extraordinarily difficult The California Supreme Court eventually termed the "goal" an illegal “quota” and claimed that the use of race as an admissions criterion discriminated unfairly against whites. Fifty-eight fricnd-of-the-com I briefs, an unusually high number, have been filed with the Supreme Court on the proceedings. The briefs represent a cross sect ion-of views on the case, which has been termed “extraordinarily difficult” by one Justice department official. Indecision apparently racked the department internally in the months before issuance of the official brief. There were reports of considerable internal debate before the first draft of the brief was begun last June. Among groups that have filed briefs on the side of the University’s admissions program are the American Bar Association, the American Civil Liberties Union, Harvard University, University.

Advertising will probably be included in any publication that is approved. This approach to special (sometimes interest called minority) publications is new this year. The Sub Board Board of Directors felt that special interest publications in the past were run, poorly financially unsuccessful, and rested on unproven popularity. Acting Publications Division Director Bill Finklestein felt this year’s program was significantly different from year’s past. “The unique thing about it is that were publicizing the availability of it rather than having the Board making decisions strictly on the basis of groups who happen to come up wanting a publication,” said Finklestein. According to Finklestein, Sub Board came close to not including any special interest line in this year’s budget.

Turchiarelli feels that he is ■‘committed to Republican leadership committed to bringing in a government into the city of Buffalo made of up suburbanites.” Now, with the primary, over, Turchiarelli plans to concentrate on all the voters instead of only Republicans as he was forced to do in his losing effort to John Phelan.

The Spectrum Pennine �What is EditPrial [ To the Editor No sheriff's ID on campus Erie County Sheriffs ere at this moment or will be soon seated in Squire Hall to sell their ID cards to those students who are foolish enough to want them or unfortunate enough to need them. Don't buy Erie County Sheriff's ID cards. Don't even look at the people selling them. The cards and the sheriffs don't belong in our student union. No rationale in the world could justify students having to pay three dollars to supplement an official University ID card, even if that card is a totally useless piece of laminated cardboard. It is pointless to say that this University's ID should include date of birth and a signature. Or is it? Who ever heard of a university ID without that vital information? According to Director of Admissions and Records, Richard Dremuk, such a beast exists on many college campus. He reasoned that since the date of birth is derived from student supplied information, the University should not bear the legal responsibility of backing up it's legitamacy in a court of law, for example. However, because the Faculty-Student Association directs functions on these campuses which do include the sale of alcohol, for that reason alone, sufficient information to attend those functions, such as a date of birth, must be provided by the University on the official ID card. Apparently, nobody on the ID card committee, made up of students and administrators, thought of that when the committee convened last spring semester. Too bad. Now students are being asked to pay three dollars for that vital information. The implications of non-Erie County residents possessing Erie County Sheriffs cards are ugly and are reminders of days when every student on this campus was suspect of some heinous crime. Card applicants must show proof of address, which will not appear on the card but which will appear on official police records. Any student who desires to register with police because he or she goes to school here is welcome to do so. Fools abound, even at this University. No name is required to appear on police files unless its owner has been charged or convicted with a crime. So why bother? Inter-Residence Council officials thought they were providing a service to students when they reserved the space in Squire center lounge which the sheriffs now occupy. They are really accomodating Erie County, whose police department must only be too happy to have this opportunity to register students thrown in its lap. Think of it. Names voluntarily submitted on file and money in the bank. What more could a police department have without even asking? The Spccri^iM Editor-in-Chief — - - - .... Copy . .

It is far more difficult for a Jewish student to miss classes year after year than for a non-Jewish one to take an extra holiday. As a Jewish student and teacher. I well know that there is no great or intolerable "suffering" in “being forced” to have no classes on Christmas, Faster, Sundays, etc. So I can hardly sympathize with Roman's plight. As far as All Saints Day and Holy Thursday are concerned, I might agree that these occasions too should be recognized and respected. In this case, the recognition of Jewish holidays is not a slight to such others, but a move in the right direction. (Let me hear no uproar to the effect that we cannot afford to take time off for special holidays. There is no pressing need for a full three weeks off at Christmas. And two months would quite suffice for celebrating the summer sun.) Finally, I might even go so far as to suggest. I’at Roman, that you actually make an attempt to sh a rein the joy or solemnity of a holiday that is not your own; that you even try to learn and perhaps understand a little more about those people here and elsewhere who are not exactly like yourself, l or in spite of all that you claim to have seen, I pity your narrowness far more than your “suffering." have i am sure that Pat C. Roman will receive more “comments” on his recent letter than he could possibly have wished for. Yet, I will add my own to their number. I am anxiously awaiting that time when the ordinary American will leant what justice means. How long will we go on playing a numbers game? The principle that the majority rules without regard to the circumstances is a perversion of democracy one that has sadly come to be considered its very backbone. The principle is a dangerous one; if it is taken in full seriousness, the consequences are bitter indeed. To use an example “close to home;” should the university allow no special physical aids to the handicapped, simply because the majority of people - on campus do not need wheelchair ramps or will miss out on the best parking places? Yet such aid requires some small sacrifice, some “suffering” on the part of the majority. I do not mean to liken this situation to the one presently under concern, but rather to demonstrate the meaninglessness of the basis of Roman’s complaint. Neither this country nor its “state institutions” should be made up of a selfish, victimizing majority that consistently overpowers a number of exploited or ignored minorities. Simple majority rule is not justice.

Slewn \\hcnlml> �More biology labs needed Tn the hditor Guest Opinion by Paul Friedman, Susan Dix Gene Chao, Charles Rachlis As another mayoral election approaches, Buffalo faces an ever worsening tide of urban characterized blight, by increasing unemployment, inflation, and reductions in health, education and welfare. Aggravating this situation is the flight of business interests in search of cheap, unorganized labor. The proposed layoff of 3500 workers at Bethlehem Steel for the purpose of maintaining current profit levels is exemplary of the attitude of the Buffalo business community. As long as Buffalo’s populace was able to offer a cheap source of labor coupled with a war-fed economy, business boomed. But this is no longer the case. Due to its inherent lack of social responsibility, the business community is leaving. Some people think they will be able to alleviate the problems of Buffalo by electing a liberal mayor. Just what is so appealing about a liberal? Perhaps a contemporary definition would answer the question. A liberal is someone who doesn’t like what capitalism does, but likes capitalism. He tries to solve the problems created by the system by supporting the system. What he offers is a “shortcut.” He tries to change the system from within. In turn people hope a liberal victory will be a substitute for building an independent political movement of working and oppressed peoples on a mass level. This is a working class community. Black people in their great majority are working class. Added to this are the other oppressed minorities Puerto Ricans. Indians, etc. What you have is an overwhelming mass of people who have objectively no interest in the %oals and aspirations of Buffalo’s 500 millionairesand their financial institutions. A mayor who does not advocate workers’ control is not a representative of the working class. Arthur O. Eve does not now and never has advocated the rights of the working class to control their working situation. One who does not challenge Saperston’s absentee-landlordism in the black community or the red-lining of said districts, tacitly represents these same landlords and their banker cohorts. When the Redricks (a black family) were having trouble moving into a white community the police offered no real protection, the family had to deal with broken windows, broken bones and broken hearts. This situation reflected the racist nature of the white community and the Buffalo Police Force. Will Arthur O. Eve do anything about Buffalo’s racist police? This is the same police force who rampaged through the black community in 1967, who unjustly framed Martin Sostre and Kenny Johnson, who busted students sitting in at Hays Hall demanding buses to go to Albany in protest of the Attica massacre in which incidentally Buffalo’s armed guard participated. Will Arthur O. Eve disband or purge - This year, like all other years, between 50 and 70 students were dosed out of biology labs. Most of these people are doomed to take a thorough screwing from Sl'NYAB. After a brief struggle, they will change their majors, take courses out of any of sequence or even transfer to other schools . which will make their next few years miserable. It seems a paradox that an institution of higher learning should be so determined to discourage young minds. At present, students taking organic and biology (mostly pre-meds) who were unlucky enough to miss out on Tuesday or Thursday bio labs have no way out. As a solution, all we ask is that the school invest a few dollars in the future of America and open a Saturday or a night lab section. Buffalo is the college we have chosen. We <V<« pay tuition and as such have some rights. The school is simply mu meeting the course demand . . . and we are suffering. . this police force and legitimize black protection community of the black through the organization of community self defense groups. Or will Arthur O. Eve maintain the racist Buffalo police who are active in the K.K.K. and American Nazi Party? Will the new mayor be able to grant black control to the black community or will the banks be able to continue their policy of red-lining. This is a policy which the major banking interests have employed for years, a policy in which bankers draw a line around an area which they call high risk and therefore do not put funds into, refusing home improvement loans and refusing small business loans. The bankers, needless to say, in no way refuse to allow members of the area to place money in their banks. The question is, can Buffalo’s problems be solved by anything short of mass protest on the part of Buffalo’s workers, unemployed, students and oppressed minorities? Nothing short of demands followed by action in the streets, the factories and universities will force any type of move on the part of big money in Buffalo. If Bethlehem Steel workers want their plant to stay in Lackawanna, they will only be able to keep it here, if they lake the task into their own hands. The tactics they must employ are not those of electing a “good man” for mayor; flight of capital calls for more drastic methods. An occupation of the Steel Plant, coupled with demands for the company to open all its books for public scrutiny, for 30 hours work for 40 hours pay to spread the work available to all those willing to work. This demand has a special place here now as Bethlehem intends to fire 3500 steelworkers from its Lackawanna plant and increase the workweek to six days for those It took gigantic advances in remaining. technology coupled with massive struggle on the part of hundreds of thousands of workers to win the 40-hour work week and now Bethlehem thinks it can take it away. The loss of so many jobs in Lackawanna will make its effect felt in Buffalo just as the flight of most of Western New York’s industry will. The unemployed will look to the urban center to alleviate their problems and the already over bureaucratized, financially burdened Buffalo will try to ease that load with even more cutbacks in jobs and services. No one individual can reverse this situation. To naively believe so is to contribute to the myth of the American Dream and the perpetuation of the disease of capitalism People place their faith in the hands of liberal politicians instead of taking matters into their own hands and organizing in the factories, communities, and universities to oppose the cutbacks threatened by the state, the city and the employers. Voting for establishment parties whether they be liberals, conservatives or moderates, is nothing but a vote for the perpetuation of the conditions that exist today Don’t vote organize! . Matthew Cherney lt'</r//c Cohen Jeffrey iXiissenhanm Good clean war To the h'.ditor. The bitter fight to end the production of Ihe B-I bomber has finally concluded with almost total success. However, a new death machine has replace the feared bomber in the Pentagon officials' hearts the Neutron Bomb. Time and time again I hear how the bomb will merely kill people while leaving structures virtually unscathed. But how will this bomb affect dogs. cals, and fish? What of all plants and non-humans who have had no say and have contributed nothing to this entire nuclear outrage, in truth, Ihe bomb emits equal opportunity neutrons which can destroy every living cell, whether they be human or canid. Bricks may survive (if that means anything) but earthworms won't. Clearly, something must be said on their behalf. Killing living tissue yet leaving buildings intact is a curious maneuver. This reminds me of an old Star Trek episode where waring planets simply informed their opposition that certain areas of the other's planet were under attack, and, in turn, the latter ordered all of the inhabitants of that area to report to extermination units (apparently, non-humans were spared). This was all good clear war. With the development and eventual employment of the Neutron Bomb and its successors, it seems that we are headed in a similar direction. Personally. I am distressed, but by no means surprised Perhaps it is some consolation to non-humans will die, also, considering that that humand non-humans have been barbarically exploited in every conceivable manner since the dawn of man. Utilitarians such as myself might agree that such an end be desirable. For it seems that the happiness of all creatures is not possible while we continue to exist. Nevertheless, for some unknown reason. I and harmonious cO-exislence encourage peace between man and nature, as well as between man and man. If anyone wishes to protect non-humans as well as humans from premature radiation bombardment, he should support Ted Wiess' amendment that deletes funds for the development of the neutron bomb from the Knergy Research and Devlopment II.K. 6566.

I his problem has led students and faculty to park in unmarked spaces just so that they can get to their classes on time. I ven though this extension of the parking rows does not completely block the lanes ol traffic (one lane is always open) the University Police have begun to ticket those cars. Now I believe that since this problem was created by the administration s negligence they should instruct the University Police to avoid ticketing cars parked illegally in the parking lots as long as the flow of traffic is not impeded by those cars. Such a measure would serve as an immediate solution and hopefully the administration will give parking facilities a higher priority in their immediate construction plans open but we realistically update our laws and customs.

FOR ONLY *.08 — — by Wendy Krasnoff and Melodi Shapiro In late 1975, six rapes were committed in downtown Buffalo by a man of similar description and methods. Kenneth Johnson, a black community mental health worker was eventually charged with two of the rapes, both of white women. Kenny was acquitted of one rape in his first trial, but the all white jury was hung over the second charge. At the second trial, another all-white jury convicted Kenny, and he was sentenced to 5-15 years in prison for crimes he did not commit. Although Kenny was granted an extension of bail pending appeal, he now sits in jail. In a vicious attempt to undermine the growing support that Kenny and the Committee to Clear Kenneth Johnson had built. Assistant D.A. Albert Ranni obtained the revocation of Kenny's probation from a prior misdemeanor marijuana charge. Kenny sits in jail. How do we know that Kenny is innocent? 1. Kenny's arrest was due to the pressure downtown business merchants, who feared a loss in their Christmas profits, exerted on police for an immediate arrest. The line-up in which two of the six rape victims identified Kenny was construed so Kenny would stand out. Mr. Johnson wore light colored clofhing, had a visible cut over his eye. (received when he was beaten by police during his arrest) while the other men in the line-up wore dark clothing. Coupled with the fact that the rape victims were shown photos of Kenny prior to the line-up, the identification procedure was obviously tainted. 2. Kenny does not fit the original description of a light-skinned Black man. He is dark-skinned and missing several front teeth, a very noticeable feature, never mentioned by the rape victims. 3. Kenny’s beard differs greatly from the original description of the rapist. The rapist held his knife in his left-hand; Kenny is right-handed. 4. The rapist was farsighted. Kenny wears glasses to correct nearsightedness. 5. Kenny had reliable alibi witnesses that placed him elsewhere at the times the rapes were said to have occured. 6. Kenneth Johnson was never tried by a jury of his peers. In a city where the black population is approaching forty percent, all of Kenny's jurors were while, middle-aged and from the suburbs. These jurors were unable to put aside their prejudices and overcome the obvious partiality of the judge and D.A. 7. A third rape victim who had participated in the drawing of the composite sketch so widely publicized in Buffalo, was willing to testify that Kenny WAS NOT her attacker. The Judge would not allow her to appear. 8. Throughout both trials we observed, the prosecutor's case was solely based on the racist defamation of Kenny's defense witnesses and appealing to the racist stereotypical notions of the black man as rapist, and incredibility of character. Two jurors from the first trial, who later joined the defense committee, said the atmosphere of racism created by Albert Ranni greatly interferred with the course of justice. In order to better understand why an innocent man was sent to jail, we have to look at the history of rape laws in our country. We have to ask ourselves WHY the state has spent over $200,000 to frame an innocent man. Rape first became a capital offense in this country before the civil war. There was no penalty for a slave raping a slave woman and no penalty for a white man raping a slave woman. After the Civil War, rape became punishable by death. Statistics show how the laws were meant only for Black men. For example, in the last forty years 455 men have been executed for rape: 405 of them were black. No white man has ever been executed in this country for raping a black woman. As lynchmobs became less respectable, the pattern continued in the „ you’i/e just the faUdowing seimtces aiie ava'dabk at The SpECT 831-4113 Jk Jk courtrooms. Rape laws have also served to degrade white women. Women who claim to belong to themselves and not a man's property are often PUT on trial when they report that they were raped. To defend a Black man unjustly accused of rape is NOT to condone the crime of rape. Rather it is to understand that the rape charge is being used not to protect but to oppress blacks. The current resurgence of racism in women this country is particularly dangerous in view of our deepening economic crisis. As long as white people believe that blacks are the cause of their problems, a mass base for fascism exists. It is only by working together that solutions to common problems and justice can be brought about. What can we do: 1. Keep informed on Kenny’s case and spread the word to our friends. 2. Build support for the understanding that oppression of any one group of people hurts everyone. 3. Send donations to help secure Kenny's freedom to: The Kenneth Johnson Defense Fund, P.O. Box 75.

According to Sub Board Treasurer Dennis Black, FSA intended to charge $25,000 for accounting services. In addition, FSA planned to charge an unprecedented service fee for events handled by the Ticket Office. Black claimed FSA intended to incur a $.10 service surcharge on all UUAB movies and $.25 on all other Sub Board and Student Association (SA) activities. The Ticket Office maintains a budget of $49,499 and, according to Black, FSA’s high accounting fees would have been ruinous financially. “It was absolutely ridiculous,” said Black. “We were spending half of our budgeted money on accounting.” No service charge Black claimed that Sub Board officials were particularly miffed by FSA’s plans to impose the service charge. It is his belief that Sub Board will be able to handle the Ticket Office’s accounting responsibilities for approximately $8,000 without imposing any sort of surcharge. “Our goal is to avoid a service charge and not lose any money. Hopefully we can make it break even,” he said. Black maintained that FSA was as happy to relinquish its Ticket office responsibilities as was Sub Board to accept them. He said that Vice President for Student Affairs Richard Siggelkow was upset that the organization was losing so much money and blamed FSA for the problems. “FSA really wanted nothing to do with it,” said Black. “We have the capability to do the accounting, and the cost won’t be nearly $25,000 Our fee won’t approximate that figure.” Black explained that Sub Board has a fiscal responsibility for the Ticket Office, but has not taken over its operational functions. “The operational responsibility is still with the Division of Student Affairs,” Black said.

Drum music is required at births funerals, weddings, at ceremonies ranging from baptisms to initiations into female societies. If a village does not have its own fine drummers it will hire outsiders. In any Case, drummers are paid and respected. Gideon is highly respected. “I will challenge anyone in drumming," says Gideon, “if there is jealousy or envy I let the drums speak for themselves. Listen to the drums and judge for yourselves." Plastered on one of Gideon’s walls are photographs of his family and of himself in performance. Across from them is a trophy he was honored with by an American school. He gestures at them without humility or egotism, just with a pride in work he’s spent his life devoted to. “All my senses go into it is my profession.” It also holds a value performing beyond this. “I don’t like too much talk," he says, but tries to explain that drumming, its infinite rhythms and combinations is something he "inherited,” not genetically but from the culture and gods. Different dr patterns come to him in his sleep and in dreams, or he hears a rhythm played and is able to duplicate and then expand it. Steve Reich, percussionist of new music, who traveled to Ghana in 1970 to study with Giddon, called him a Master Drummer of the highest order. Spertrum Staff Writer - Gideon Foli Alorwoyie is a member of the Fwe Tribe of the west coast of Africa. Throughout the Volta Region where Gideon was born are various villages of fishermen or farmers who understand at least two languages. These are the Fwe language itself and the language of the talking drum. The drum has only two tones, but it can translate any word in any language into its own language of sound. Its mouth, so to speak, is either the drummer's hands usually battered and thick, from use or two nimble sticks,, straight or angularly hooked. These last achieve what can only be called the "real" sound, and on them the whole of a drummer's skill must rely. The talking drum. Atumpan. is referred to as the master drum; master of a whole ensemble of percussives and also master of whatever dance accompanies it. The dance and drum are never - - - separated. For Gideon, "the drum without the dance is like a garden without flowers" non-existent. Gideon is both a master dancer and master drummer. First employed by the Ghanan Institute of Art and Culture at age 19, he joined the Ghana National Dance Fnsemble in 1967, which is now the National Dance Company. Gideon's repertoire includes African tribal dances of the Fwe. the Dahomen, the Ga and the Yoruba. This past April he and the UB Percussion Fnsemble and Dance Department performed some of these in Baird Recital Hall. Because of its the standing-ovation University's Music reception, Department and the Office of Cultural Affairs hope funds will be made available for Gideon to return in the fall and hold similar workshops. Gideon has since been signed to a three year contract as a drum and dance instructor at the State University College at Brockporl. - "Sometimes I would walk twenty, sometimes thirty miles to hear a certain drummer.’.' This was when Gideon was ten. Also by the time Gideon was ten he would be paid as much as a dollar to play the gong gongs of different or gongons village functions. Because the gong gongs must sustain an unchanging time line in an assembly of sometimes fifteen drums and rattles (“torrow”) each with a separate downbeat, it is a role usually reserved for older drummers. Otherwise the master drum signals rhythm changes and dictates the dance steps being performed. The key to the dances, Gideon explained, is in their rhythm, and this “people learn from when [they are a) Baby,” while draped in cloth slung around their mother's back, if they haven’t learned already “in the belly.” Hach dance is based on everyday movements and express both “Hi-life” or recreational dancing and - traditional dances and those that recount histories and I Funeral percussion He refers to the drums and his talent as something he has ”com|uered. This is why I am feared,” he says. as either a man or a "spirit," because of his “f eared” drumming feats. *‘We are born on this earth as animals, look at it. that is how we die." He does not fear death and knowing it is said that only death that can stop his drumming he decided to prepare. He set up a coffin outside his home and surrounded it with drums. He would perform prostrate, except for his arms which stay in constant motion, speaking to the drums. Another "spectacular” Gideon created he performed here in Buffalo. While most drummers specialize in a single drum. Gideon played three major drums simultaneously, proceeded to maneuver them around stage with his feet, and then, still playing, sat down, raised his legs over his head, and finally brought his knees to rest by his ears. Creative Associate Ralph Jones was impressed. “If this gets anymore personal I'm going to have to leave.” But its exactly this kind of energy that appeals to AFrican, if not all, audiences. Constant motion The arts in Africa have never been static. And masters of all crafts are innovating constantly. Gideon, with I — THE MAGIC WORLD OF ANIMATION Starts Saturday for two days only!

In Haiti he witnessed how descendents of Asanti (Opoku’s own tribe) and the Twi (also of the Oold C oast) remembered parts of their original dance inheritance and used them to form their own C aribbean art. But the language of their forefathers is disappearing in a thousandth of the time it took to evolve. While giving a demonstration in Accra, Opoku asked some small children what a certain and explicit movement meant. Surrounded by the University’s mowed lawns, they thought the sweep of his arm, which mimed a machete, represented a father about to speak their behinds. This particularly disturbed Opoku because it also indicated that the children did not notice that he motioned across not downwards.

Soccer Bulls top Syracuse to Rudolph who was streaking down the right side of by Michael Rudny Spectrum Stall Writer The soccer Bulls picked up their first win of the season Saturday afternoon as they crushed the Orangemen of Syracuse University 4-0 The victory was Buffalo’s first ever over Syracuse The two clubs have been battling each other since 147 2 with the Orangemen emerging victorious in all four of the encounters. After losing to Niagara m overtime on Wednesday, Buffalo was not to’be denied this tune around as the whole team played well. “We put forth good effort and were sharper than in the giune against Niagara.” commented assistant coach Jerry Galkiewic/, "The players are learning to work together and are getting into shape We also made a few- changes, like the one which moved Jim Rudolph from the inside to the wing.” The move of Rudolph was very advantageous to the Bulls as he scored three of Buffalo's gour goals and set up the other. Rudolph accounted for the first half’s only goal, scoring at the I 8 43 mark with Steve Keeney getting the assist. Keeney worked the ball from the corner to just left of the net and look a close shot which was blocked by the Syracuse netmmder. Rudolph kicked the ball into the net on the ensuing scramble for Keeney’s rebound to give the Bulls a lead they never relinquished. previous Freshman star Syracuse applied pressure early in the second hall but was stymied by the fine play of freshman goaltender Mark Celeste, who picked up his first collegiate shutout. Celeste was ably aided by his fullbacks Wain Reid, Alan Derner, and Mike “Spider” Allan who blocked many a Syracuse shot and broke up many an Orangemen pass. With the defense playing well, Buffalo’s offense wen t to work. Mark karrer sent a perfect head pass the Held. Rudolph kicked the ball over the outstretched arms of the Syracuse goaltender sending Buffalo ahead 2-0 “1 knew exactly what Mark would do,” explained Rudolph. "All I had to do was kick it in." Point-blank shots by Karrer and Keeney were blocked but the hard working Bulls were not to go unrewarded, for long. Ray Pollydore was held by a Syracuse detendei and the referee called for a penalty kick. Coach Sal Ksposito elected for Rudolph to take this one-on-one shot against the opponent goaltender I he choice proved to be the right one as Rudolph scored, giving the Bulls a 3-0 advantage at 22.08 of the second half. “I tried to catch the corner,” the newly converted winger said. Pleased, but not ecstatic Buffalo kept on applying the pressure and their diligence paid off when I Jon ny Bilka scored a goal The Syracuse goalie left the net wide open when he tried to cut down the angle on a shot by Rudolph The rebound came out to Biika who booted the ball m past two Orangemen fullbacks. Rudolph picked up an assist on the goal which was scored after 32;40 had elapsed in the second period. 1 sposito was pleased, hut not ecstatic, about the play ol his leant. "This was a sweet, sweet victory. A game long in coming,” he staled. “After we scored the second goal we started to see that we could put it together. I veryone played well hut we still have to play better in order to win.” The next game lor the Bulls is today against Big I our rival C anisius. I sposito expects this to be a good, exciting game. "The players want to show that last year’s game (I-1 tie) was a result of taking C'anisius too lightly. They want to show that they are the better of the two teams,” he said (iante time is 4 p m. at Rotary f ield SOME IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR COUPLES.

In contrast to the shorter teams of former years, this year’s squad has a respectable height range of 5’6” to 6’1”. The height advantage will give the Bulls added strength in blocking and hitting. “We have a very tall team,” said Weinreich, “We expect to destroy many teams with our height.” After relying on two strong setters last year (Sue Pels, who graduated and Amy Ostrin, who transferred), what will Weinreich do now that he has no one to replace them'1 “Pray a lot,” he said. Actually, Weinreich has three candidates in mind for the aH-important job and will use the next few weeks to test them out. Until one is chosen, LIB will be at a distinct disadvantage with their competition. Many freshmen The high number of freshmen on the team to think that inexperience will be a problem, but it potential. In addition to the freshmen, the Bulls have live players from last s team The returning players will give 'me a nucleus of experience which will allow me to annihilate opponents,” predicted Weinreich. Among the returnees are senior Hilary Schlesinger, captain Barb Staebell and sophomore Mary Kvanco, who is the “outstanding all-around player,” according to Weinreich. year Tough schedule This season. Buffalo will play an expanded schedule which will have them competing against powerhouses such as the University of Maryland, the winner of the Hastern Regionals last year. The Bulls will also travel to Ontario to play some of the strong schools there. “We have eliminated some of the smaller, weaker schools and picked up some stronger teams," explained Weinreich. Buffalo will be traveling more this year and playing in more tournaments, such as the Brockport Invitational this weekend. “You have to improve the competition in order to improve yourself,” commented Weinreich. Buffalo kicks off their season in a scrimmage today against Fredonia at 4 p.m. in Clark Hall. According to the coach, the team expects to have no problems with the Blue Devils. “We should win easily," he predicted. His main objective will be to try out various players in various positions. “Winning is not foremost on my mu»d,” explained. After an outstanding season which brought the team to the State Tournament last year, Weinreich has an important goal for the team this year. “I want to be in the top three of the state,” he said.

Diane DeFalco is back at Buffalo after a year off. “She an excellent player.” appraises former coach Betty Dimmick, who is now women’s field hockey coach, as well as being Director of Women’s Athletics. DeFalco played at UB from 1973 to 1975, before taking last year off. Dimmick didn’t think the year off would hurt DeFalco. “She’s played a lot of competitive tennis in the last year, so I think she’s ready.” Dimmick said. WeO qualified Good looking rookies include Mimi Weiss and Didi Fisher. Weiss, a transfer from Geneseo, is the sister of Bill Weiss, one of Rochester’s top players. She won the 21 and under in the Erie County Tournament of Champions. Fisher, a freshman, won the novice Tournament of Champions. “Those two are probably the most promising,” verified Dimmick. New coach Connie Camnitz appears to be well qualified to mold this year’s group into a winning unit. Camnitz has been a member of the East Aurora Tennis Tournament for the past 18 seasons. She has trained under Bob Mack, an area pro, for the past eight seasons and is an outstanding player in her own right. Particularly adept at doubles competition, her accomplishments are quite numerous. “She’s done a lot of tennis teaching; she does her homework, and she’s not lackadaisical,” praised Dimmick. Rain has been a problem for the Bulls this year. Their pre-season scrimmage against D’YouviDe was washed away Friday. “Our schedule is so tight, that if we have rain outs, it’s almost impossible, between the two schools, to get a rescheduled match,” Dimmick said. The home season gets under way today at the EUicott courts today at 4 p.m. with a match against Fredonia State. - Second straight shutout Intramurals begin action next Monday The intramurals department, an integral part of the University of Buffalo’s athletic department, will initiate a full slate of events on Monday, September 26. Kicking-off the 1977 season will be intramural football. The two-hand touch league, with co-ed and men’s divisions, will start regular season with games at 3:30 on Monday. This year, all football games will be played on the Amherst Campus. To participate in this program, each team will be required to submit a $10 deposit. Hopefully, this will cutdown the number of forfeited games because if any game is forfeited, that team will lose the money it posted. Only students with a current University of Buffalo ID card, or faculty, staff and administrators with a recreation card are eligible. Cards can be purchased at the Clark Hall Business Office of $10. Any participant with varsity or junior varsity experience will have to sit out one semester. If you’re interested in picking up a few bucks, you can be a referee in any of the numerous leagues. To becorfie one, just fill out an application at Clark Hall, and, if chosen, you can collect a $2 a game paycheck. Many sports The intramural program, which is run by Steve Allen and a group of five student supervisors, includes basketball (which has 125 vacancies to fill, including co-ed teams), volleyball, soccer, badminton and (tentatively) floor hockey. The basketball games are scheduled at the Bubble, Clark Hall, and Sweet Home High School. Tournament play is also scheduled for the fall. Golf, tennis, bicycle racing, squash, handball, and a turkey trot are being set up. If you have any questions regarding rules or entry deadlines, call Steve Allen at 831-2926. Tennis team tops Bonnies by Doa Shore Spectrum Staff Writer UB men’s tennis team breezed an unsuspecting St. Bonaventure 9-0 Friday, to even its record at 2-2. It was the second straight 9-0 victory for the Bulls who had clobbered Niagara University the day before. Against the Bonnie’s, the Bulls won with remarkable ease as they took five of the first six matches by in straight sets. The showcase match pitted the two number players, one freshman standout Tod Miller from UB and John Tiefcl of St. Bonaventure. Miller seemed to have more difficulty disposing of his opponent than did any of his teammates. After losing the second set. , SiWJJtrurp, tying the match at 1-1, Miller explained, “I’ve played so many better players, but now I’m playing his game.” But Miller played his game in the third set and emerged victorious in the match, 6-3, 5-7, 6-4. In four matches this season, Miller has tasted defeat only once, when he played the best player in Western New York at the University of Rochester. With his Roscoe Tanner like serve, and his great affinity for the game, he seems like the man to beat in UB tennis this year. Improved squad Even though the bulk of the squad is made up of first year players, coach Tom LaPenna believes he has more strength and depth this year than last. Despite the team’s slow start, which £LSeptem(w 4.9.77. LaPenna attributes to the limited pre-season time afforded him to get his team together, he feels that the Bulls are a cinch to better their last year’s record of 8-7 and to repeat again this year as the Big Four champion. LaPenna believes that Buffalo’s relegation to Division III this year is also an advantage. He sees it as a godsend that will enable the Bulls to compete against teams of comparable talent. Though optimistic future. Coach LaPenna of the expresses some concern over the lack of support accorded the team. But says that measures are being discussed to try to boost support. The Bulls’ next home match is against Gannon College tomorrow at 3 p.m, at the Ellicott Courts. ry QlaiMcutteks & Salon for Men & Women Quch l Michael and his 6 hair designers can give you TOMORR OWS CUTS TODA YU Maple Center 1414 Millervport 688-9026 - �May oralforum to When asked how he intended prevent labor layoffs such as the Bethlehem Steel catastrophe, Griffin intimated that he had been contact with Bethlehem officials in Washington. “They in want tax cuts, emission standards lifted without a commitment to workers,” he said. “We’ll give them commitments when they give us commitments.” The issue of redlining was addressed and Phelan said he would attempt to get government and private industry to work to ask banks to look at together each individual area before they invest their money.

When asked their opinions on the newly initiated marijuana decriminalization program, Eve emphatically supported the idea. Gritfin framed his response more reservedly. He favored heavier penalties than are now law for selling marijuana to young people under the age of 18. Phelan was personally opposed to the use of marijuana but respected each person’s decision on the matter. One person in the crowd in Haas Lounge asked the candidates what would be done to end certain illegal police practices, referring to the tragic Richard Long stomping death in which Buffalo policemen were involved. Eve told the questioner that “40 or 50 particular policemen should never come in contact with human beings. We have to get them off the street and put them behind desks where they won’t harm people.” Griffin presumed that the trouble with the Buffalo police force stems from the Police Commissioner, and that it was a beginning to realign the police force from the top.

It appears that the new campus, was. in part, designed to prevent student disturbances from reoccnrring, and tailing that, to limn their size and effectiveness. Perhaps operating under the assn in p I i o n that m os I disturbances arise spontaneously from large crowds, the planners envisioned -a sprawling, de centrali/ed campus, lacking a natural nucleus or focal point. union, stud enI T he unquestionably the natural "hub of ihe Main Street Campus and many o i i g in o I the demonstrations over the years, was completely stricken Irom the Pedestrian planning concept. routes, bus terns, ie pul 11uI l changes in elevation and other complex architectural techniques combine to seemingly decrease the chances ot" large crowds spontaneously coining together. Smaller units as centers It is widely acknowledged by o I lie ia I s that University dc-centiali/alion was the driving foice behind the design theory. Pari One ol The Cwh/mis Plan illustrates the theory in a section entitled “Environmental Goals." The plan states: In a large and changing campus, the concept of one center works against the purposes of the University. Under a heading "Purposes of the University” the plan reads: The organization of faculties must allow the University to function as a whole while establishing smaller units that can become centers. This altitude is expressed in the Cmpau Plan numerous times, in both rhetorical and architectural terms. It surfaces repeatedly throughout the design in plans for individual buildings, footpaths, and roadways. The concept of de-centrali/ation, quite simply, dominates the design. Vice-President for Facilities Planning, John Telfer, a expert in the field of campus planning, explained the us? of the de-centrali/ation concept. “Part of it was sociological. We were going through very tumultuous times.” he observed, adding that there “may have been some over-reaction” on the part of planners to collegiate unrest here and across the nation. "Some of the decisions were made with the idea that things were easier to control when they were de-cenlralized,” Telfer said. Split functions of union The relative ease in controlling the student population may have been at the heart of the decision to split the functions of what was Norton Union (new Squire Hall) into six different buildings on the new campus. Each structure would contain some division of the network o!' student organizations and services currently housed in Squire, but not a large enough! proportion to qualify the building as the Student Union. The importance of a student union on a college campus cannot be understated. Squire Hall is a classic example of an ingeniously located, fully functional student pulse center. Most pedestrian routes pass by. or directly through liktl«Hfe;TTt» easily identifiable as a symbol of the students, and appropriately houses all student activities and organizations. The same building was the scene of many strike meetings and demonstration gatherings in 1969 and 1970. Jerry Rubin spoke in its lounges; The Spectrum, the radical voice on campus, cminated from its third floor offices. When demonstrators were chased by riot police for breaking windows in Hayes Hall, they fled to Norton, where other students helped battled the troopers. It is not unreasonable to conclude that, had there been no student union then, there would have been fewer considerably demonstrations and less violence. Elimination of a student center focus of the is carefully disguised in The “symbolic Campus Plan: University.” It is also referred to Although student as the “cross-roads of the many activity junctions can be most campus In reality, the Plaza is only one appropriately accommodated within individual colleges or of several partial “cross-roads academic faculties, there is still a and by no means the most need for centralized faculties. important.

Cross-roads not central After describing a “common ace w m a x i mizes opportunities for interaction” as being “vital." the planners did little to carry out this thought. The Campus Plan features a location termed the “University Plaza,” supposedly the “dominant open space on campus" and the characteristic desirable of the cross-roads of a University and uncompatible with the plan’s “goal” ot maximizing foi interaction The large scale of the campus in general makes walking between many points impractical.

Reiss Managing Editor The Millard Fillmore College Student Association (MFCSA) refused Thursday to allocate its portion of the Bus Board I budget and consequently will no longer be a member of the student corporation’s Board of Directors. Its constituents will henceforth be ineligible to utilize Sub Board’s activities and services. The undergraduate Student Association (SA), the Graduate Student Association (GSA), and the Medical School Polity all signed Sub Board allocation contracts and will now be the participating members. In addition, members from the Dental School Association indicated that they will make every effort to sign the allocation contract by late October, wflile officials from the Student Bar Association (Law School) agreed to sign in the near future. Rift developed Since its inception in the early 1970’s, (an effort to give students control of their mandatory fees), Sub Board has been the organization binding six student governments. However, discord racked the corporation this summer as Board members traded allegations of incompetence and selfishness, resulting in a bi-polar organization. SA found itself on one side, unwilling to accept the fact that it, through was mandatory student fees, undergraduate financing 90 percent of Sub Board’s budget while receiving only five of twelve votes on the Board. MFCSA became the spear earner for the opposite camp, charging that services had been severely limited while threatening to withdraw or reduce their appropriations. The conflict manifested in the refusal of MFCSA and the Dental School Association to fund their respective share of the Sub Board budget. Sub Board disbursing agent has also for a fee acted as the for the six student governments. However, the Student Bar Association and MFCSA have decided to no longer use Sub Board for this purpose. GSA has not as yet signed a disbursing agreement but Sub Board Treasurer Black claimed he is confident that GSA will eventually decide to utilize Sub Board’s disbursing services. Be it resolved Upon Dental School Association no longer be eligible to use the activities and services of Sub Board I freely, and shall be charged non-student or special rates where it applies because of their failure to provide meaningful allocation to Sub Board I, Inc. Further, that the chairman be required to disseminate these restrictions throughout Sub Board to ensure the proper enforcement of these restrictions throughout the various divisions of Sub Board I, Inc.” The ramifications of such a resolution are far reaching. Simply put, students enrolled in Millard Fillmore College and the Dental School will not be extended Sub Board benefits and will be treated according to SA President Dennis Delia, “as students from another university.” Delia termed the situation “unfortunate,” but defended the Board’s decisiion as “the only logical choice,” claiming, “if you want to participate, you have to contribute. Even though only a few people made the decision, a whole constituency will have to suffer. We had no choice in the matter but to pass the resolution once they decided not to appropriate the money.” any No future cutbacks today Delia, commenting on the effects of MFCSA’s withdrawal from Sub Board, indicated that their refusal to appropriate funds was the prime factor in the Board’s decision to cut the Off Campus Housing Office from its budget. The Off Campus Housing Office cost Sub Board $6,000 while MFCSA’s contribution was $13,000. “The dropping of that office,” explained Delia, “was a result of MFCSA’s pulling out of the corporation. We had to cut something and that was a difficult decision. The other alternatives were to cut the Browsing Library, The Spectrum, the Dental Clinic or UUAB (University Union Activities Board). As of today, I see no future cutbacks.” Black said he was disappointed because officials from the Student Bar Association and MFCSA failed to appear at the meeting, despite the fact that they had requested copies of the allocation contracts. Said Black; “We made an effort to help them. Not showing up at the meeting was not classy.” It was revealed Thursday that SA will appropriate $324,oOO, a $29,000 increase over its last year’s allotment, to Sub-Board over 90 percent of the corporation’s budget, GSA will allocate $25,000 the Medical School Polity $750, and Student Bar Association $1,000. It was uncertain at press time how much money the Dental School Association intends to contribute. - MFCSA’s and the Dental School Association’s decision not to allocate funds, the Board of Directors passed unanimously the following resolution: “Be it resolved that those constituencies represented by MFCSA and the recognizing by Denise Stumpo Feature Editor Erie County Sheriffs cards will be issued at Squire Hall, beginning Wednesday in an effort to appease students dissatisfied with this year’s University Identification ID card. The Sheriff card, issued to those eighteen years of age or older, includes date of birth and signature, two most necessary items which do not appear on the University cards. John Baird Longworthy of the Sheriff’s Department said the program will continue as long as perhaps even for a month to accommodate all students who want cards. A fee of $3 per card will be charged. Student rip-off At least one student is less than joyful to hear of this. “The proper information should have been on our cards in the first place,” said one in discontent. “This is an added rip-off. The students lose out; the county makes money.” Questioned Friday about the new card plan. Chairman of the ID card committee Richard Dremuk replied, “It’s news to me. I don’t know anything about it.” Erie County Sheriff Ken Braun explained, “Someone from the University called and asked if we could provide cards for the students. We said we would be more than happy to.” According to Inter-Residence Council (IRC) President Daniel Kinley, Dremuk was notified in writing last spring that lack of pertinent information on the new model ID card would be a problem for students. “Dremuk suggested that we get Sheriff’s cards if we wanted date of birth,” state Kinley. Frustrated victims IRC Executive Vice-President Stephanie Freund contacted University Police, whose job has been made more difficult by the cards this year. They, in turn, contacted the Sheriff’s department about an on-campus visit. Cards will be available in the Haas Lounge area starting Wednesday, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Original birth of baptismal certificates (or copies with a seal) and passports are acceptable as proof of age. Applicants must also show proof of address, such as a rent receipt or a cancelled envelope to an Erie County address. The address need not be permanent, since it will be kept for the record but will not appear on the card. Students who must rely on ID cards for proof of age have reportedly been very frustrated, feeling themselves victims of the piece, especially since security at the Ellicott pub has been tightened this year. ‘They proof everyone who walks iitf the d6or,’ reported Steve Peck, IRC Treasurer, adding that this had rarely been done in the past two years of the pub's existence. According to Peck, one member of an ethnic minority who was proofed at the door caused a scene because he felt the bouncers had been prejudiced in proofing him. The bar had to be closed and the pub cleared until campus security could arrive to fore ibly remove him i.AUUOlVt The Best Selling Novel Is Now A Triumphant New Film.

The Spectrum . Page three �Legal turmoil over insurance policy Last year's Health Insurance Policy for students at this University is in legal turmoil. Members of last year’s Sub Board have not yet signed that contract with the New York. Life Insurance Company. In addition, the New York Life policy was put into effect before it was approved by the New York State Insurance Department (NYSID). Sub Board I, who represents students in that contract, did not sign because a clause stipulated that all premiums had to be paid one month after the commencement of service, September 1, 1976. A Sub Board spokesman said he didn’t receive the contract until mid-October, 1976 and that all student premiums hadn’t and couldn’t possibly have been paid by then. The New York Life Insurance Company was tardy in sending the contract to Sub Board because the company is required to submit all contracts to the New York State Insurance Department for approval. The Chief of Health and Life Policy Bureau at NYSID, George Lafaro, said that the contract under which this University functioned was not approved until October 12,1976. Obviously not practical Therefore, students here were paying health insurance fees in September for a policy that had not been approved until the middle of October. Upon approval, it contained a clause requiring full payment by October 1. Current Treasurer of Sub Board, Dennis Black, stated that such a policy was obviously not practical for implementation. To add to the confusion, there is no seal or number of approval by NYSID on Sub Board’s copy of last year’s contract. This means that in duplicating the contrac*, either the seal didn’t reproduce, or New York Life is the only party with a copy of the approved contract. The contract is currently being examined by a Sub Board lawyer to determine if it can be signed now dr last year’s coverage. The Sub Board spokesman said, “Many letters were written to New York Life explaining the dilemma.” An insurance company representative replied that he “understood the situation and would ignore the clause that invalidated the contract upon lack of premium payments.” However, because there was no apparent legal justification for that statement. Sub Board refrained from signing the contract. Changes in health insurance York Life because of “major dissatisfaction and problems arising from claim payments.” Black alluded to the fact that New York Life was inept. The Student Health Insurance Waiver deadline “They were never set up right, they were not has been extended to Friday, September 23, Sub prepared to offer what they said they would. Their Board I Treasurer Dennis Black announced Friday. operation just didn’t work.’’(See related story this Black cited this year’s change in insurance companies page) “Under the new law. New York Life couldrt’t as the basis for the extension. The mandatory Student Health Insurance policy offer its package to us again,” said Black. The new was implemented last year by the University’s Board law requires pregnancy coverage for policies starting of Trustees, as a measure to protect University January 1, 1977, and New York Life was not Health Service. Local hospitals and private prepared to deal with this. Another major problem physicians had threatened to terminate medical with the former insurance company was its rates. service to students at this University, because Since it dealt with the general public and not students who were referred to private physicians by specifically with students, the company’s rates University Health Service often failed to pay “didn’t reflect that of a college student, but rather doctors’ fees. “This rip-off was widespread,” the overall business community,” said Black. commented Black. This year’s new insurance company pays special attention to colleges and universities, who represent New policy This year, Sub Board and the American its main source of income. The American Accident Accident and Health Insurance Company have and Health Insurance Company represents many designed a comprehensive student medical insurance SUNY schools in addition to Buffalo, as well as program. The new policy benefits include payment numerous private institutions throughout the of up to $1000 for medical expenses incurred within country. one year from the date of an accident. Other Better deal benefits range from coverage of hospital expenses, After a long period of negotiations between the physicians’ fees to maternity care. insurance company and a student re-enforced panel, Because of the new policy, students have the $68 fee was instituted. The company established encountered one major problem necessitating the at its own expense a permanent office in Michael extension of the health waiver deadline. The new Hall which will handle all student health insurance insurance policy requires all students to present problems. proof of adequate health insurance so as to except When asked to comment on 1 the difference them from the $68 fee. This requirement has created between the two companies. Black said, “There is no an “unnecessary burden on the student by virtually way to tell what thy new insurance company’s profit demanding that everyone call home to obtain policy will be until the end of the year, but they definitely statements,” said one student. offer more.” Black continued, “What costs us $68 Waiver no good with American Insurance would have cost $85 with One reason for this year’s mix-up has been the New York Life. Since American deals with colleges, fact that students last year were told by the New their cost per policy is relatively inexpensive.” York Life Insurance Company (last year’s company) If the insurance waiver is not filed before the that the waiver would be good for four years. Many 23rd, then the fee will be added to the University students were surprised to discover that this year tuition bill. It is estimated that there will be about they had to reapply for the waiver because the 8,000 waivers this year.

Samuel P. Clemens Hall, the new "home” of the faculty of Arts and Letters, has met with considerable criticism by the occupants of the S5.1 million structure. The ten story building, designed by Ulrich Fran/.an, is described as “two rectangles put on end with an elevator in the middle of it" by Associate Chairman of the Lnglish Department Fred Sec. The stale has refused to take official possession ol it, as he understands, because a good deal of subcontracting is under litigation due to unsatisfactory workmanship.

Undergraduate Secretary of the English Department, said. "I hear complaints from students about the lack of meeting places in the building." She added that she thinks students arc resisting coming out to the new campus because they don't want the added inconvenience of taking the bus from the Main Street See Campus. One secretary who wished to phones were recently installed on every other floor of the building after a rape complaint was filed. She also said that many have complained about the poor numbering of classrooms and offices. Temporary cards have been taped up on the corner of each classroom with two numbers written on each card.

The People's Power Coalition has called for a rally to protest against the proposed i*te increases, a rally sponsored by over 10 local organizations, including the New York Public Interest Research Group (NVPIRG). NYPIRG has been urging students to attend a Public Service Commission hearing tomorrow at 1 p.m. which will determine if NFG's request for a rate increase is justified. The Coalition and NYPIRG have both demanded that NFG pay a rebate of $10 to every gas customer in Western New York. NFG's rate hike should be denied and the gas company should be forced to pay a rebate to all its customers. In addition, it should prepare itself now to be able to provide maximum service to all when the blizzard of '78 strikes. NYPIRG has been granted permission to audit NFG's books, something unprecedented in Western New York. Its findings will undoubtedly place justice on the side of the consumer. The Public Service Commission will hopefully heed the call of justice and not the money of NFG. The hearings are being held at the Buffalo and Erie County Public Library at 1 and 7 p.m. in Lafayette Square, where rallies will take before each. Be there, if you can.

Article 35 of that Agreement authorizes the Chancellor or his designee not only to decide on retrenchment but to determine the level at which retrenchment will occur, whether university-wide or on a campus or the specific in department program or unit appointments were terminated, along with the failure to provide for hearings for faculty members on tenure or extended appointments, acknowledged the administration's power to take, virtually unchallenged, actions like those described in this report. With the need only for such consultation as the Chancellor or his designee considered appropriate (and that not necessarily with the faculty), and with a need to give notice of one semester ‘where only circumstances permit,’ the retrenchment of tenured faculty members determined unilarterally the by and administration, announced to the faculty on several weeks’ notice, was entirely consistent with the Agreement The committee also notes that in its investigation it found no evidence of a genuine state of financial exigency at SUNY: “No one interviewed the by investigating committee expressed opinion the that the actual survival of the State University of New York or any of its constituent institutions was threatened by the budget cut,” the report said. Need for reduction questioned According to the report, the total funds available to the State University of New York were cut 76 from $967 million in 1975 to $928 million in 1976 77 or about 4 percent. Such a reduction raises a question about the need to terminate the services of faculty members on continuing or extended appointments under any - - circumstances. “The investigating committee finds the retrenchment, as a general policy authorized and set in motion unilaterally by the University administration, to be contrary to accepted standards relating to faculty partiepation in government academic and violative of the provision on financial exigency in the 1940 Statement of Principles," the report said. The faculty members whose appointments were terminated received little help from the SUNY administration in finding positions suitable elsewhere.

Headley’s wife, friend and two sons were arrested in a September 1976 "Marijuana Plantation” raid, although no marijuana plants were ever found. The local newspaper reported in a front page story that “more than 2.000 marijuana plants” had been found with an estimated street value of “S450.000." Spectrum City Editor neighborhoods. A proposed zoning amendment which would regulate the opening entertainment of adult bookstores and live cabarets will be presented to the Common Council tomorrow morning, said Paul Barrick, Buffalo’s Director of Planning, in an exclusive interview conducted Friday. Patterned after a similar plan which was successful in Detroit, the Buffalo amendment would hopefully curtail feared neighborhood deterioration by forcing new adult entertainment businesses be reviewed by the Buffalo Common Council or the Planning Board. “We are hopeful that the plan will work very well,” commented Barrick. The Planning Director observed that the Detroit plan had been tested and upheld by the United States Supreme Court. The lawsuit, filed with the assistance of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) and Playboy Magazine, charges that Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Drug Lnforcement Agency (DLA) agents entered into a conspiracy to violate the plaintiffs' civil rights. Under Montana’s harsh marijuana laws, cultivating even one plant can result in life imprisonment. Controversial clients The bizarre case began over a year ago when Lake Headley moved lo Red Lodge, Montana, with his family to take a vacation on a friend’s ranch and write about his adventures as a private investigator. Headley, 47, worked in California for lawyers defending political radicals and other controversial clients. Over the years, he has managed to antagonize a number of local, state and federal law enforcement officials. As an investigator for the Wounded Knee Defense Committee, he made a citizen’s arrest of two FBI agents in 1973, and supplied much of the evidence which freed the principal defendants because of “improprieties” on the part of the government. He was later retained by the parents of two members of the Symbionese Liberation Army who were killed in a shootout with police officers in Los Angeles in The Detroit plan One of the innovators of the Detroit plan, Head Planner of Zoning Donald Brownell, discussed on the phone the facts regarding the Supreme Court’s March 1976 decision. “Two owners of adult movie theaters protested the act because they alleged it violated their first amendment rights of freedom of speech,” stipulated Brownell. The Supreme Court upheld the Detroit plan as not being an infringement of the theater owners’ constitutional rights. “The Detroit Plan has been a model for many cities throughout the nation because it legally regulates the location of adult entertainment in cities,” said Brownell. The Detroit amendment has put a number of prospective “adult entertainments" out of business and has prevented relocation of certain businesses because City Hall’s approval would be necessary. The plan can be applied in two different ways: it can disperse the uses of adult entertainment throughout an area or concentrate the uses in a “combat zone” one area of a city. 1974. Headley’s move to Montana did not go unnoticed by local law enforcement officials. According to the laWsuit, a pattern of “intimidation and harassment” began Headley’s telegrams were intercepted, and evidence was planted on his property, which was often trespassed. — Principal attorney on the suit, William E. Rittenberg, commented, “This is one of the most outrageous cases I have seen in my practice of law A real horror story.

All undergraduates are urged to run Sex acts and cabarets Gennuso proposed that adult book stores, motion picture theaters and “exotic cabarets of the go-go variety” would need to have a petition approved by the Common Council of the Planning Board if they were to be opened within 500 feet of a similar business establishment The place of entertainment which hopes to open its doors to the public must obtain the signatures of 51 percent of the similar business establishments prior to sending the petition to City Hall for perusal and possible approval. Gennuso went on to consider the definition of what might be regarded as adult entertainment. He spoke of emphasis on matters of specific sexual acts or anatomical areas as being the basis for judging what was or was not adult entertainment. Though the definition seemed vague and centered on moral values at tunes, Gennuso replied that he believed the amendment was not concerned with moral value judgements but with upgrading different sections of the Buffalo community. Understanding that the Common Council could and proceed to approve certain i n tervene establishments of adult entertainment if the establishment was not encouraging the growth of a skid-row area, Gennuso predicted that the proposed amendment would benefit the city of Buffalo by curtailing areas plagued by urban blight.

As always the semester will start off with a Volunteer Drive with a goal of recruiting 1500-2000 volunteers. During the “rise of social awareness” when CAC was at its peak in strength, it easily boasted over 2000 members. Over the past few years the strength of CAC has dwindled to last semester’s low of 1500. If this trend continues, CAC faces a reduction in the services it can offer to the Buffalo community. At a time such as now when “social awareness” is dying, the reduction of social services in this community could have very unfortunate results. The Community Action Corps is seeking volunteers to fill positions in all of the eight areas within the organization. These areas include Health Care, Drug and Youth, Social Action, Legal and Welfare, Child Care, Education, Recreation, and Older Adults. By having such a diversified selection, CAC feels that anyone can be placed to work in any situation he desires. In addition to projects generated by CAC, resource contacts exist which place the volunteer with already established programs such as — - - - - March of Dimes, American Red Cross, etc Dedication a requirement Community Action Corps, the largest student run volunteer organization in the country, does not face the same problems that other student organizations must deal with every year. When a change in leadership occurs, it is the responsibility of the departing coordinators to fill their positions. All decisions are made by a Central Committee the heart throb of CAC. Only coordinators, who run the programs, must attend Central Committee meetings. Any interested person with something to say is always welcome to become part of the leadership. CAC needs people in every capacity, from coordinators to van drivers. The only requirements are dedication and a sincere desire to become part of solutions, not problems.

Staffed by volunteers consisting of students, professionals and faculty of this University, the Drop-In Centers are a place for anyone in (he University to “drop in and talk” about anything, ranging from problems with a roommmate, class schedules, sexual problems, or difficulty in finding a certain building. For anyone who needs to talk, it is “almost like an ‘in-person’ hotline," said Drop-In Manager Lorrie Po/.arik. No forms Part of the University Counseling Services, the Drop-In Centers offer “crises services.” This is an immediate source of help with no commitments, no forms, and no waiting. Gene Nelson and Lorrie Pozarik, responsible for the management of the Centers, stated the philosophy of the staff: “We believe that if we can learn to be aware of curselves, we can help other people learn to be aware of themselves.” The Drop-In Centers try and help people with their problems and referrals are made, if necessary. Usually, the volunteers try to help the person become “aware of alternatives and look at the problem with a clear head,” said Pozarik. Initiated by Dorothy Adema, the program is in its fifth year of service to the University Community. Last year, the center at Main Street helped over one thousand people. This year, two centers are willing and able to accommodate more. Need at Amherst The staff of thirty volunteers alternates working in two-hour shifts. There is continuous training for the volunteers and staff meetings once a week at which time they discuss any problems that within a ten minute class change. This necessitates, among other things, a shuttle bus in constant service around the perimeter of the academic spine. Thus, a great deal of movement between buildings will be made by bus and will not require walking through any central area or “cross-roads.” This again differs radically from the Main Street Campus. In addition, a large number of the buildings will be connected by enclosed bridges spanning the spine area on the second and third levels. It will not be necessary to descend to the ground level to walk from some areas of the campus to others. Nor will a student tend to spend leisure time between classes for example in a centralized area such as Squire Hall. Each of the seven major faculties will have its own activity space. The residential buildings will also have extensive activity, dining and study areas, and will, as such, be largely self-contained. arise When asked about the necessity of a permanent center at Amherst, Pozarik said, “It looks like there’s nobody there, but there are a lot of people who could use a drop-in center.” There was a center at Amherst last year, “inappropriately located in a second floor Richmond lounge.” A very informal servicd, the Drop-In Centers don’t solve people’s -JulieMellen problems for them, but are willing to listen. Communication cut Although the plan does provide the actual space for large gatherings of people, it also lowers the probability of those gatherings occurring by chance, and furthermore limits the extent to CLASS TIME 4:30 5:30 pm (Tues. & Thun.)

The Associate Chairman of this University’s English Department, Fred See, has observed the lay-out of the Campus and feels the spine was “deliberately decentralized instead of being hub designed. “The late sixties was a time of perfidious campus unrest,” See observed, “and the new campus was designed to minimize the chances of riots. “One would think that men responsible for a University of this magnitude would understand that history changes. It’s a folly to believe that students would remain at the same level of violence, that the social order wouldn’t change.” The Dean of the Colleges, Irving Spitzburg, noted that the decentralization concept clashes with the environment it was both created out of, and applied to. He considers the University, as well as state and student governments, to be organized along centralized, bureacratic lines. “The theory behind the Campus,” he felt, “is inconsistent with the tendency of the University to centralize.” Amherst Councilman Gerry Brownrout, in an interview last CLUB TAE KWON —Continued . ALL ARE WELCOME! from page 1 — • summer, asked if he thought the campus was designed to control students. “That’s the truth, Brownrout said. “Believe me. That’s how the campus was set up.” He recalled talk among University officials of encircling the campus with iron gates. This was later confirmed by high placed sources here. The high costs involved were the main reason the gate plan was dropped, the sources said. Brownrout said the residents of the Town of Amherst genuinely feared the cmong of 25,000 students. The other heavily weighed site for the campus was downtown Buffalo. After considerable study and controversy, Amherst was chosen over downtown. Union unitity The Campus Plan, as a blueprint, bears little resemblance to the Amherst Campus as it exists today. The plan was revised and cutback considerably as the State began to realize it did not have the financial resources to carry it out. What is now called the Amherst Campus only hints at the hugeness of the original plan. Whatever havoc a completed de-centralized Amherst Campus would have played with student life is equalled by the current split between the Main Street Campus and the partially finished Amherst facility. Three of the six buildings slated to house student activities have not been built and do not appear anywhere on the priority list for the restart of construction. With the move of five student organizations to Talbert Hall last summer, the future of the student groups left behind in Main Street’s Squire Hall is very much in doubt. Space at Amherst for the remaining groups exists soley in blueprints for the three unbuilt structures. Hewlett-Packard Available af LACO BOOKSTORES 3610.

Belts Dimmick < MEET *GUS* IN 355 SQUIRE HALL FOR ONLY $.08 LESS THAN ANY — — HE COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE COPIER ON CAMPUS?! OTHER The Buffalo field hockey team will open their season today with a new coach, a new philosophy and some impressive new players. Women s Athletic Director Betty Dimmick took over the coaching duties for the field hockey team this year after the squad had seen three different coaches in the past three years. Dimmick had previously been the women's tennis coach. Among the new players are three freshmen and a transfer, all of whom have outstanding credentials. Freshman Joyce Kotin was the Most Valuable Player on her high school team and was chosen for the All-Star Team of a field hockey camp site attended. xVickic Phillips, another freshman, was an All-Star in Westchester County, while freshman Lorinda Burgers played in the sectional tournament for her high school. Bari Slatas. a transfer, was the Most Valuable Player at Suffolk Community College. Veterans Along with the rookies, UB also has some strong returning players, including goalie Jean Neal, halfback Lynne Azzaro and Ruse Bowden, forward Gabi Gray, and Margaret Cardina, who will see action as a fullback or a halfback. This year. Dimmick will test a new coaching strategy. Instead of keeping the defense in the backfield, she will use the whole team on aitack. Defensive players will be encouraged to move all over the field and even to score goals. “I I will be much mure of a creative game now,” explained Dimmick. “The defense used to just play defense. Now, there'll be a lot of playing together, a lot of moving together.” Dimmick is very optimistic about the team, especially the new players. "There's so much interest on this team,” she said. It’s a very strong team." The Bulls have a good defense, may have problems on forward line, partly due to a lack of players for those positions. Buffalo travels to the University of Rochester today to open their season. They were beaten by the strong Rochester squad last year, and so are out to even the score, according to the coach. The Bulls will play theii first home match on Thursday against Houghton. "Om main weakness is the lack of time we’ve had to spend together,'' said Dimmick.

Schwall Spectrum Staff Writer The UB rugby club has started practicing for its second season of play with an eight game schedule this fall. The team wfll play in the Eastern Rugby Union, with matches against other schools and local clubs. Important games include the SUNY tournament at Cortland and a tough Syracuse squad in Syracuse. Rugby is a tough game, but there are no size requirements. “It’s a physical game and endurance is the key factor,” said Pbul Kruger, the club president. Two forty minute halves with a “running clock” are played. There are no timeouts, and halftime is a five minute rest. ABCs There arc fifteen players on each side. Usually, there is an “A” points. Scores of twenty points squad to play the whole game are commoivfor a game total. The ball is given up when with subsequent “B” and “C” games to follow, depending on the intercepted or fumbled, and when size of the clubs. Of the fifteen a player is tackled. There are players, eight make up the scrum penalties for high tackling and and seven make up the backfield. forward passes.

Buffalo the football program became a reality last May, the task of rebuilding the Bulls fell upon the shoulders of coach Bill Dando. To assist him, Dando has chosen an assortment men, each of whom of young have fine football backgrounds. Directing the offense will be Denny Mason, who proved capable of handling the backfield when he directed the Bulls from 1966-68 as the one quarterback and captain. Mason, who holds four individual UB passing records, has taught at Cleveland Hill High number School and coached freshmen football since graduating. It is often said that the game of football is decided on the line, mainly because linemen say so. offensive line for the Bulls will be Charlie Donner. Donner was a standout as the Buffalo captain and center from 1967-70. For the past six years he taught at Clarence High has School while assisting the football program there. Coordinating the Slop ’em and beat ’em The wide receiver coach is Paul Dusenberry, who joined the staff as a personal favor to Dando.

Administration of the fee will begin this semester and is expected to hit hardest at poorer SUNY students. The Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) does not cover the new charge or any other fee. “We did express opposition to the fee,” said Vice Chancellor for Educational Services James Smoot. “Our main concern was that this additional fee is not covered by available financial aid (including TAP).” Health services on SUNY campuses, rather than improving, have suffered a 10 percent cut in staff positions the past two years. The new fee is not expected to reverse the trend. According to Smoot, the Legislature’s action is a major departure from SUNY Board of Trustees policy. “Several years ago the Trustees, in raising tuition, took a stand against extra fees,” Smoot observed. “They’ve given ground on the matter of student activity fees, but 1 think they are still basically committed to a tuition, rather than a fee-oriented structure.” In levying the fee, the Legislative Finance Committee apparently compared SUNY to public universities in other states. It found that “most other states utilize a combination of mandatory basic health fees and fees for specialized services.” Smoot felt these findings were misleading, however. “In examining the subject of health fees,” he said, “the fiscal committees looked strictly at what other states charge as a health fee, they did not look at tuition. So while many states might have a health fee, very few statfes have a tuition as high as SUNY.” Smoot feels the Eastern states in general are pricing their public education higher than warranted. The Student Association of the State University (SASU) has lobbied against the fee this year. — at Friday, Buffalo 16 September 1977 TAP head comes underfire by Jay Rosen Managing Editor State Senator William T. Smith (R.. Big Flats) has called for the resignation of Fileen Dickinson, president of the Higher Education Services Corporation (HESC), which administers the state’s trouble plagued Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) Smith, in a recent letter to Governor Hugh Carey, demanded Dickinson’s resignation based on what he termed "HESC’s dismal performance, the remaining backlog of 1976-77 TAP applications and reports of new trouble with TAP and non-TAP awards.” Smith warned of a “two-year backlog and a full-fledged crisis in the entire higher education awards program.” HESC was instituted in 1976 in order to provide “one-stop shopping” for all Federal and State loan and scholarship programs. Since HESC’s inception, the TAP program has become a “nightmare for all concerned,” according to a Senate task force committee report. The report details a host of problems caused by HESC’s inadequate handling of the $447 million TAP program. As the fall semester of 1976 arrived, HESC had only processed 25 percent of TAP applications. The year before, prior to HESC’s inception, 80 percent had been completed by September. Never ending problems According to the committee’s report, students by the delays were forced into taking additional loans, skipping meals and changing residences, applying for welfare and food stamps, taking part-time jobs at the expense of their studies affected and in some cases, dropping out of school. Private schools had no choice but to obtain high fill financial gaps caused by the lack of TAP monies. The report blames the "seemingly never-ending problems” on "poor management and interest loans to organizational difficulties ” Smaller private schools were forced to threaten students who were unable to pay their tuition with "Student financial aid officers were expulsion among the most frustrated," the report states, “as spent hours trying to assist students against odds that usually proved insurmountable.” The management of HESC cited various reasons delays. for the Incorrect and incomplete applications, the need for supplementary forms for financially independent students; difficulties in processing address, college and scholarship changes, inexperienced staff; and inadequate quality control were all blamed for the TAP nightmare, which is not over for hundreds of students who still have not received their awards despite filing applications over a year and a half ago. they Kept in the dark The report charges that “HESC policymakers made several grave errors in judgment and organizational difficulties were common A “grave misconception” of the “magnitude of the problem” resulted in students and universities being "kept in the dark about TAP applications and payments," the report said In response to mounting complaints about the TAP program, the State legislature held state wide hearings during 1976. The hearings brought to light the “chaotic state of affairs at HESC.” In an unprecedented move, funding for the last eight months of the 1977-78 academic year was cut off. Only after HESC submitted a "Management Improvement Plan” were the funds restored in the state's supplemental budget. Although HESC management feels the problems ot 1976 will he avoided through implenetation of the improvement plan, early indications do not support this hope. As of August 22, HO percent of City University of New York (CUNY) applicants had received their awards, but only 24 percent of all other applicants theirs CUNY’s pre-processing of had received applications accounts lor the disparity in figures. Thousands of students at non-CUNY schools, such as SUNY at Buffalo, are still in the dark about this year’s TAP money. HESC’s goal is to have 80 percent of the applications completed by September, yet as the Senate report brings out, before the birth of the corporation. 80 percent success by August was the " rule �Fantasy fulfillment Roddenberry’s visit here is a dream come truefor many by Elaine Levinstein Spectrum Staff Writer Did you ever wonder what it’s like to meet someone you’ve worshipped, loved and cherished for longer than you care to remember?

But he did fly. He discovered he had to. Do you wish that the first Apollo mission hadn’t reached the moon or that we hadn-’t gone to Mars and then on to the nearest star?

Friday, 16 September 1977 to - New series, movie There will be a new Star Trek television series — already in its preproduction stage. The new series will reflect the key social crusades of the I970’s such as the feminist movement power movements among minority groups, rapid technological advancements that have affected all phases of our lives and other basic changes that have arisen from these movements. He hopes that this time the starship crew will complete its five year mission. The new series will probe further into the evolution of the Romulan and Klingon empires, and most of the crew will be returning, with the exception of who Spock, might make occasional return visits. A new young Vulcan science officer named Xon (pronounced Zon) will replace Spock, and there will be an alien woman officer on the whom bridge Roddenberry promises will ania/.c you. The new show will probe into new alien cultures and there will be major alterations of the ship itself, since according to the creator, the nature of science itself has changed. There will also be a Star Trek movie coming out, although production is being slowed down due to several difficulties in coordination. Roddenberry promises that Star Trek 2 will be belter, and continue to show us how little we know about life and our purpose here, and our need to find out as much as we can. He claims he derives the most happiness by opening up people’s hearts and minds through Star Trek to the wonderful world of science fiction, and of utmost importance, to thinking about who we are, what we’re here for. and what direction we’re going in.

When the first Star Trek television series was produced, Roddenberry admitted to having difficulties with the NBC censors concerning the revealing costumes worn by several of the alien also were goddesses. They perturbed about Roddenberry’s original plan to have a woman on the bridge in a command position. The character of Mr. Spock, with his satanic appearance, was also a source of agitation to them. In an attempt to pacify the network, he dropped the idea of having a woman in a command position, and stayed with Mr. Spock. who became the most famous character of the show claims the Roddenberry intricacies of Vulcan culture evolved slowly and the famous Vulcan “neck pinch” developed spontaneously on the set one day when Kirk and Spock were fooling around. wants L- Shakespeaare J �Reassignment of extra students gets underway in all the overcrowded rooms in tllicott were to be completely moved by, yesterday, but, he said, “considering how long it takes to move, a few days notice would simply not be enough for some by Paulette Buraczenski Campus Editor The reassignment of extra students in overcrowded doubles and triples began will be completed Monday and by next Friday,” according to Director of Housing, Madison Boyce. The process began with the dequarterjng of 36 overcrowded triples in the Elljcott Complex, most of which were handled by Wednesday.. The remaining overcrowded rooms, amounting to approximately 125 in Goodyear Hall and Governor’s Residence Halts, are also undergoing the detripling process, and they too should be completed by Friday, said Boyce. One area desk secretary said, “We are in the making progress definitely notification process." Another secretary, Jeanne Nartem, said that almost all the extra people have been notified to move, and that “just a small percentage are yet to be told.” Nartens added that most of the people who have been reassigned were moved into triples and quads, “since very few doubles exist,” she said. Notification problems He originally claimed the extra people people.” The overcrowding was instituted due to an increased demand for dormitory accommodations, and, according to Boyce, the number of extra students has exceeded the number of students who have yet to show up to claim their spaces in the dorms. He claimed he expected the theoretical number of “no shows” to accommodate extra students, and said the Housing Office was calling those students who did not show up by the first day of classes in order to confirm their spaces. /. le secti ions o: spaces arc in the dorms.:He said this will necessitate the consolidation of available female space, and will mean more students will have to move to different rooms, causing further inconvenience. In other words, some males will be asked to occupy rooms that would normally be filled by females. A problem concerning these males’ accessibility to bathrooms will have to be handled. One student living in an overcrowded triple said, “This is an incredible inconvenience. I just got to know a few Sex causes problems However, even though the number of “no shows” has surpassed the number of temporary in extra students accommodations, the Housing Office has encountered problems in placing students in newly available rooms because of their sex.

However, the daily functions of the office will be severely cut, according to Sub Board Treasurer Dennis Black. Said Black, “The $850 purportedly given to GLS by Sub Board on Monday for off-campus housing, is, in fact, designated for innovative programing for Squire Union activities.” This money is' under the supervision of Director of Union Activities Joyce Levin, who is currently out of town. GLS has been asked by Black to be responsible for the upkeep of the housing bulletin boards, along with handing out housing sheets, and answering the phone calls concerning off-campus housing. Director of Group Legal Services David Brownstein said, “We’ve been asked to do it and we will, but it is one of a series of ridiculous cutbacks and examples of screwed-up priorities.” Sub Board and the Board of Directors did not look into it.” She further complained, “Sub Board’s closings was at the peak of the need for an OffCampus Housing office.” Black contends “there is a demand for an office at specific points during the year, but the Off-Campus Housing Office wasn’t serving its purpose anyway.” He felt “there was total chaos this summer, and Heidi Lewis appointed someone who knew nothing about anything to run the office this summer.” Lewis responded, “If he has any complaints then why doesn’t he talk to me about them? He stiB hasn’t faced the fact that Sub Board has eliminated a very valuable service.” Dangerous directions? Buchman said, “As a concerned student, I believe it is important that a stable service be instituted. What about foreign students with language problems, and new students who need help knowing if a particular street is nearby? It is an incredibly intimidating situation affecting thousands More money needed GLS worker Elissa Buchman stated, “It has just of students.” Black also said “the Off-Campus Housing office been dropped in the lap of GLS for circumstantial convenience, and thousands of students who rely on was the only office that submitted justifications that for an $8962 budget, only five were inadequate the Off-Campus Housing office are without service is secretary notepaper were submitted as C.LS on-' a of that “the lines piece Brownstein said already overburdened” and that this responsibility justifications for funds.” The current status of the Off-Campus Housing will take away time from his office. He further stipulated that “no money has been allocated for office is unstable. Some of its services can be found publications needed for an effective Off-Campus outside of, or within, the GLS office. “Services have Housing office and an additional phone will have to been significantly cut back and the off-campus housing program is not operating as an effective be added.” Black said, ‘‘Because of the budget crunch, some office,” stated Buchman.

October 14 will be the last date to drop a course. Past that date, students will have to accept a failing grade. Last year the date was November 30. In recent years students were able to resign from courses and receive a grade of “R” (officially withdrew) up until the last two weeks of the semester. “A general feeling of concern about academic standards was the major reason behind the change, according to Dean of Undergraduate Education Walter Kunz. The decision was handed down as part of a Faculty Senate resolution titled, “Definition of a Student in Good Standing and Associated Regulations.” The resolution was passed last May 3 and was aimed at setting new guidelines for academic retention. Reputation enhanced Kunz said that the decision corresponds with a “nationwide feeling” about academic standards and was a response to the “permissive policies” instituted in the late 1960’s. He felt that students would benefit from the action through an enhanced reputation for the University’s, academic standards on the part of graduate and professional schools. Other schedule changes have been announced by the Office of Admissions and Records. The dates for initial registration without Dean’s approval, and the last day to add classes and to drop them without an “R” or without financial liability have been changed. The new date for initial registration is Friday, September 23, changed from September 16; for adding and dropping, Friday, September 30, changed from September 23. The Jewish holidays which have been added to the academic calendar this year resulted in the latter changes. According to Assistant Director for Student Records and Registration, James Schwender, night school students and day students whose classes meet only once a week would not have had sufficient opportunity to make decisions under the old calendar. Although most day school students would have still had plenty of time, the dates were moved back for everyone in order to keep things less confused. The new schedules have been posted around campus. The Admissions and Records offices (Hayes C) will remain open during the holidays.

And it is. , Revolution were being " ; " — ' Arrows and signs Up until this summer, the Center was run under the nebulous titles of Family Planning Clinic and Human Sexuality Center. The two organizations shared an office and little else. “There wasn’t a dividing line,” said Director Laura Rubin, “but you felt like there was. A sort of nationalism,” existed among the separate staffs which according to Fish created a divisive atmosphere. Last year’s physical the office The woman who desires a pregnancy test must also see a counselor who, at the first “intake” session, will take down vital information about the woman, calculate the number of weeks she may be pregnant, note her emotional state and answer any questions she has. A pregnancy test will be administered at Michael Hall for a charge j)f about five dollars. If quicker results are desired, a blood test can be done at a local hospital. Such tests are more expensive, but can give results in few as eight days after jtercourse. Results of the pregnancy test come to the office Squire Hall. They are not given over the telephone. An appointment to discuss the results made it the intake session. * ' Up to die woman 1 At the second session, if the results are negative, the woman may be advised to use some form of birth control .or change her present one. If results are positive, the counselor will go carefully over the various options available. At no point will the counselor ever make a decision for the woman. Alternatives will be laid out, questions will be answered, but this final decision is strictly up to the woman. “We never do anything to persuade the person in any way,” Rubin said, “although it is a very common thing to have people say, ‘I don’t know what to do’.” “As long as they have enough knowledge about the information it’s their choice,” observed Foley. Fish concurred, adding, “We give them tools to work with.” All three stressed the non-participatory function of the — counseling staff, observing that any professional counseling service could function no other way. The emotional demands of the job are large enough without involving oneself in what are often gut-wrenching decisions. If a decision is made in favor of abortion, at least three doctors abortion procedure is discussed in detail so that the woman will know what to expect. Cotas will also be discussed. Currently in the planning stage are post-abortion counseling groups, designed to ease the difficult psychological effects of the operation. If the woman decides to keep the child, doctor and clinic referrals will be made, and financial data made available. If adoption is desired, the center will refer women reputable to adoption agencies. Not everyone feels the Center has a place on campus. One woman went through an entire counseling session just to see if the Center offered abortions as an option. She then berated the . more one of misinformed rather than uninformed students. was Concern and freedom The Center usually has no obtaining enough problem anyone volunteers, although interested is always welcome to apply.

Page five �Student writing anthology seeking manuscripts Thr undersigned, being several officers of The Spectrum and faculty members of the English Department, propose to publish an annual Anthology oj Student Writing at SUNY/Buffalo. The following statement is a description of the project and a solicitation of manuscripts. We want student writing of any kind, of all kinds. The quality of the writing not its subject or form or original purpose is what interests us. We are asking to look at term papers, essays, independent writing by ambitious students, accounts of personal experience, and a wide variety of journalistic writing. Almost anything perhaps even a really good letter home. Students who submit writing for inclusion in the SUNYAB Anthology must be prepared to undergo and participate in a strenuous process of editing and revision. Indeed, this is the heart of the mallei. Our purpose is to publish writing in order to encourage the good, the better, and the writing on this campus best writing by Buffalo students, graduate and undergraduate. To achieve this end. revision and editing are called for. This editing process is additionally necessary since we see superior writing as non-professional, of broad interest and appropriate aspiration, and addressed to a general lay audience. So, for example, we would welcome work by a student in chemistry or linguistics or engineering or dentistry or an> of the special hut only if written or revised for departments comprehension by a non-technical readership. The Student Writing Group does not now, at the outset of the Anthology project, request submission of verse and advanced or experimental fiction: we don’t have the right kind of editors. But we would hope, in the near future, to recruit faculty editors for poetry and fiction, so that all good student writing will have a place in a fully representative anthology. Initially, we expect to publish the Anthology as inexpensively as possible. This may mean, for the first issue, a volume of reproduced typescript. As soon as may be feasible, we look forward to putting out a regular hard-cover type-set book. That would be after the project proves itself in practice, with a quality product. Once a proper editorial system is established, a new number of the Anthology can be published whenever sufficient copy is ready for the printer. In brief, that is our proposal. - - - 0 t* * * * Our purpose is to honor writing here at Buffalo want to do Mostly, we want to do more for writers as we can to encourage them and facilitate their efforts. (More of this on a later occasion.) Foremost is the chance of seeing one’s work in print ami having it read by strangers. Immediately following that, however, is the wonderful utility of editing as a means of teaching and learning to write. The Anthology will encourage writers by publishing writing, hut the rigorous process of preparing material for such publication will also ’‘teach" writing to the editor and the edited writer both. Once the Anthology has been established, what else can be done for student writers at Buffalo? Some of us are pursuing this question within the English Department, while others are doing so among workers at The Spectrum We may hold some public meetings in the future, we will certainly make reports on the progress of our efforts, and, of course, we are open to as much suggestions. A few words on the organization of the Student Writing Group: the undersigned organizers are mostly ad hoc: there are not many of us, but we don't want a more elaborate structure than we need. What we Jo in addition to a nice flow of need for the Anthology good manuscripts and writers willing to re-write are a bank of initial screening editors, a number of advanced and a editors, few undergraduate senior graduate/faculty editors to staff three levels of the overall editing process. We also need typists and one or more production helpers. And some money, of course. We are applying, in the first instance, to Sub-Board for starter funds to cover production of the first volume, and to pay typists. (We expect to apply soon for other grants elsewhere.) Eventually, we would like to be in a position to give some money to the hardest-working - - editors. And to pay all waters a word-rate. It could be big. The best writing on campus, very well-edited, regularly produced in print. We hope it will encourage writers here at Buffalo.

For most bachelor of science (B.S.) degrees, the major field of study will appear on the diploma. Majors generally do not appear on the diploma at most American universities unless required for licensing purposes (e.g., Nursing, pharmacy, teaching, etc.). June 1974 was the last time this University printed all majors on diplomas. the decision to eliminate printing of most majors on diplomas was made by then Division of Undergraduate Education Dean Ebert and President Ketter’s cabinet. “It was a decision based on budget reductions,” said Director of Admissions and Records (A&R) Richard Dremuk. “The cost was too great and it required too much staff time. It would be nice but not necessary.” Many students are “shocked, to say the least,” said Mark Sposato, a student who was shocked, to say the least, to discover his diploma did not state his major. He claimed many students are taking their diploma to the printer to have their major added, although no one is sure if this is legal. The cost of printing a diploma is S.65. There is an extra charge for printing of Latin Honors. This addition involves sending the diploma to the printer and re-alphabati/.ing the diplomas for each individual Latin honors. The State Education Department of New York then mandated that the diploma bear the exact title of the degree, specifying that majors requiring licensing would be printed. This will not be the case for most B.A. degrees. If a student receives a double major in the Arts, the dip'oma will not specify the major. Double majors will be specified on students' transcripts. If a student receives a double degree, over 128 credit hours, he will receive a B.A. and a B.S diploma, neither of which will specify the course of study (unless they reauire licensing). "You look for some index when you have to save money,” said Dremuk, “and this was considered a fringe.” Senior Credentials Assistant Carol Meldon dubbed it a time consuming process. “Each major had to be separately alphabati/.ed. It took three or four times longer." One secretary said the purpose of a diploma was just self satisfaction, because transcripts were used when applying for jobs. She then confessed, “For the students who aren't satisfied when receiving their diploma, diplomas aren’t serving their purpose.” One student, milled by the decision stated, “After all that money and effort, I want to see what I got.” Total enrollment in the Nation’s schools and colleges will drop slightly this school year, while the total cost of education will increase by about $12 last year, billion over Marie D. Eldridge, Administrator of the National Center for Education Statistics, predicts. The annual “Back-to-School” forecast, prepared by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), indicates that 60.3 million students are expected when schools open this fall. This is a decrease of about one-half of one percent from the fall 1976 enrollment of 60.6 million. Total expenditures at all levels are expected to reach $144 billion for the 1977-78 school year, as compared with about $132 billion in 1976-77. Education occupations More than 3.1 million persons will be employed classroom teachers this year, while another 300,000 will work as superintendents, principals, supervisors, and other instructional staff, both about the same as last year, Therefore, education in 1977-78 will be the major occupation of 63.7 million Americans. Mrs. Eldridge pointed out that, given a national population of 217 million, about three out of every ten persons will be actively involved in the education process. as The biggest decline in enrollment will occur this fall at the elementary level. The number of students enrolled in kindergarten through grade eight is expected to drop about one and one-half percent to 33.3 million from last fall’s enrollment of 33.8 million. This reflects the continuing decrease in the number of children 5 to J3 years of age, a phenomenon which has been characteristic of the 1'170’s. again High sch ool enrollment, which peaked last year 15.8 million, is just beginning to reflect the decrease in the school-age population. The number of high school students probably will decline less than one percent to about 1 5.7 million this fall. at Increased college students An increase of about two and one-half percent BEGINNING FILMMAKING CMS 101 No CMS Reg 103 CMS 107 Reg No CMS 301 No Reg 098175 303 No FILM WORKSHOP I ?li Wende 3lU FILM CMi CMS Reg No ANALYST Paul No 093C CMS 501B Reg No. 0912 Rep CMS 512F Reg.

This represents a very small decrease from the number of teachers employed a year ago. The instructional staff at the college level is expected to number about 700,000, up nearly threepercent from the 680,000 employed in the tall of 1976. Other highlights of the coming school year include A record number of students, over 3,150,000 will graduate from high school in 1978. The graduating classes ot 1976 and 1977 were both slightly more than 3.1 million. The number of earned degrees to be conferred during 1977-78 is estimated as follows: bachelor’s degrees, 969,000, first-professional degrees, 64.000; master’s degrees, 356,000; and doctorates, 35,000. More bachelor’s and higher degrees will be awarded in 1977-78 than in any previous year. Out of the estimated expenditures of 5144 billion for education in 1977-78, elementary and secondary schools are expected to spend $91 billion, up from $84 billion last year. Colleges and universities will spend an estimated $53 billion, as compared with $48 billion in 1976-77. Total expenditures of public schools and colleges will be about $117 billion. Privately controlled institutions will spend approximately $27 billion. Total expenditures for education from all sources amounted to nearly eight percent of the gross national product last year. These “Back-to-School” statistics are derived from the surveys, estimates, and projections of the National Center for Education Statistics.

Ragsdale The Guardsman, a 1924 play by the Hungarian playwright Ferenc Molnar, is not exactly one of the major dramatic works of this century In fact, it is a piece of fluff, an enjoyable but essentially trivial play. There seem to me to be two basic justifications for Robin Phillips having chosen it tor presentation at the Stratford (Ontario) Shakespeare Festival: (1) it provides a vehicle for his two major stars. Maggie Smith and Brian Bedford: and (2) it is highly metadramatic is (albeit superficially so). Metadrama drama about theater itself one of Phillips' continuing interests. All in all, this production must be considered a success. Granted the shallow waters in which the actors are wading, they obviously have a very good time splashing around, and so does the audience watching them. Their classiness, and Phillips' lightness of touch in directing them, give this play more weight than it has in the text, enough to sustain a pleasant evening. The absense of real characters, real comedy. — and real wit Is smoothed over with plenty of style Bickering love The plot is simple. The Actor (Brian Bedford) suspects that his wife of six months, The Actress (Maggie Smith) no longer loves him. He resolves to test her virtue and at the same time prove his own acting skill by playing the part of her current romantic fantasy, a Guardsman, and making love to her Much to his chagrin, his Guardsman succeeds in winning her affection. But when he reveals his scheme to her, she claims to have known him from the start, and to have only been playing along. We never know for sure if this is true, but their love is seemingly renewed, and the play ends as it began, with bickering between the Actor and the Actress' maid Mama (Mary Savidge) The basic triviality of the play lies in the fact that it raises problems with which it never deals. At the start, the ambiguous relationship between real feeling and theatrical behavior is brought up, when the Actor complains that his wife kisses him more passionately onstage than at home (complicated by the fact that their "home" is actually of course, a stage set). Real human problems concerning their marriage are postulated, and, through, the fictional Guardsman, we expect the play to address these problems, and relate them to the theme of theatrical performance. Vet this "character" never comes to life There is no reason provided for us to believe the Actress would fall in love with him, except for her claim to have done so Her falling in love therefore, becomes nothing more than a requirement of the plot, and when it is dismissed at the end, the main issues have not even been touched. Under the guise of appearing to develop its emotional substance, the play completely diffuses it Nothing is serious Furthermore, we are not given any good reason why the trick which the Actor has played should cause the Actress to renew her love for him. And if she does not do so (which is an escape route the play leaves open by suggesting the ambiguity of her real feelings, and by returning at the end to exactly the same stage action we saw at the ontmued iJm! r ,fc I <n>/ ' v ■ on page 12 s \ \ - �' Guardsman .. —continued from page 11- beginning), if, in fact, it is all just a performance, then the play is not saying anything about its characters' experience. The bottom line of this play is: nothing is serious, all behavior is ephemeral performance. This can be a significant idea, but only when its implications are made clear, not when they are avoided. The difference between this play and, say, Shakespeare's metadrama is that there is no believable dramatic world here. A Midsummer Night's Dream exists both in Athens and in the theater. The Guardsman exists only in the theater. If one removed the metadramatic qualities of Shakespeare's plays, it would still be quite possible to believe in their human content, their straight drama. There is not much genuine human content in Molnar's play. It is metadrama without drama. The play might have been better if Molnar were genuinely witty, if he had balanced the rather wishy washy melancholy that coats the play with a certain amount of the sharp detachment one finds in, say, Noel Coward. Unfortunately, there is no real wit in this play. It provides the semblance of wit, the semblance of romance, and the semblance of metadrama. We enjoy all of these things enough that we can also enjoy their semblances; they pass the time in a pleasantly light way. And if no more than that, it is perhaps stuffy to require anything else. The cast is as good as the play allows its actors to be. They suggest by the very manner of their acting the ambiguous relationship between sincere emotion and dramatic performance. Brian Bedford is urbanely they do self-parodying as the Actor; Eric Donkin ironically detached as the Critic; and Mary Savidge appropriately flustered as Mama (less a character than a sustained pose, and a body to fill out the stage). The rest of the small cast is also quite adequate The sets are excellent. An especially effective coo p: sc device is Phillips' (or designer Daphne Dare's) idea to have the curtain cut across the living-room set of Acts I and III. Before the play starts, we see a couple of chairs, a side table, a lamp, and a footstool in front of the curtain, all of which looks very much like a stage set. Then the curtain is drawn, to reveal these items as part of a highly naturalistic living-room. This little device does as much to embody the relationship between the play's world and the actual theater as anything in the text itself. Maggie Smith showcase The chief rfeason to see The Guardsman, however, is to see Maggie Smith. This play is not really the perfect vehicle for her more profound acting talents, because it is so superficial that it presents no real challenge. But it is an excellent showcase for her by-now patented style of acting, what might be described as aristocratic aesthetic slapstick She characteristically suggests a comic detachment from the other characters in the play and even from the character she herself is playing, by means of her double-takes of aesthetic shock, her ironic disdain for any evidence of crudity or stupidity. She seems to withdraw from anything so lacking in wit as, say, a flat declaration of feeling, or an outburst of anger. Life for such a person must be ordered like a work of art, according to aesthetic criteria of style and intelligence. Her detachment is not the least bit snide. Rather, it suggests the disruption caused by the ordinary absurdity of life to a perspective which is absolutely secure in its tasteful criteria of value. Thus, in a sense, she is laughing at her own persona and its disorientation from reality, while at the same time implicitly asserting the superiority of her refined standards to the crudity of the real world. And she invites the audience to share her dead-pan quizzical look at life's absurdity. Maggie Smith is to high ironic comedy what Buster Keaton was to silent film slapstick. Sometimes her almost reflex double-takes creep in where they do not belong (as in the Titania scenes with Bottom in Dream, or in her portrayal of Masha in last year's Three Sisters) and mar her performance. And she cannot play all parts equally well (eg . she could not be as trampy as last summer's Antony and Cleopatra required). No actor or actress, after all, can do everything. But for parts like Amanda in Private Lives or the Actress in The Guardsman or Millamant in The Way of the best actress in the world.

UUAB is the entertainment committee of the student corporation Sub Board I Inc., which is partially funded by the $67 mandatory student activity fee.

Prodigal Sun �Photos by Rick Vazquez Should stop singing Benson's guitar work so-o-o slick The evening certainly was stylish. But I think of jazz, I recall Kerouac's when Neal Cassady, down under in a sweaty Frisco bar, screamin' "Blow, man, blow!" Pierre Cardin was nowhere in sight. But lately, it seems the stimulating and rewarding renaissance of jazz has brought expected (but still annoying) side effects. As disco sometimes grows out of soul, so it now goes with jazz. Mind you, Anthony Braxton is probably light years (literally and figuratively) away from this, but the guitarist once thought to be another young Charlie Christian is now the worst offender of all. That's exactly what it says on the liner notes of Breezin', "It was as if the young Charlie Christian, who left this world at the tender age of twenty three has taken possession of him. I wonder if Charlie Christian wore Aramis? George Benson should stop singing. He plays guitar too well to let that Vegas-voice If Breezin' is to be the criteria by which the Friday night concert is to be rated, then it should be noted that "Six to Four," an instrumental, still stands out as the best on that lush piece of vinyl interfere Benson's vocalizing does have one quality aspect. He scats duets with his instrument incomparably. But this talent was reserved for numbers like a covered "World Is A Ghetto," a song that loses its chance at being jazz by being vocalized. Ronnie Foster, who is coincidentally a Native Buffalonian, was responsible for the Benson turnaround. It seems that Benson introduced him as being involved in the most important projects of his (Benson's) career, those being the late In Flight, and of course. Breezin' No mention of Jack McDuff, Red Holloway, or any of real jazz people inspire the born-again the that (?) have guitarist. But may then again, the band was the entire crew from the two last albums, so maybe Benson is trying to forget the lean part of his career You'd figure on at least one other song other album, and that did But it was only "Here Comes the happen from The Sun" Other Side of Abbey Road. Also again, vocals. It's really too bad. from any that you just want to rub it all over yourself, the too-slick vocals find you sliding right off the surface of the music. Not to mention Melba Moore's outfit. Ve-e-e-ry slick. I can't say that those white tuxedos and blinking rhinestones diverted anyone's attention from the poorest sound quality at any concert this side of Rich Stadium. The sound people for both Benson and Moore committed double sacrilege: Much feedback in Kleinhans. And Moore especially should understand the importance of having a vocal carry powerfully without blaring too much. But she didn't. Everyone was very well-behaved Friday night. But I'd rather be carried away. I haven't seen too many jazz concerts in my life, but broadened my horizons haven't been any at this writing. Benson has the potential to attract the jazz audience that may feel put off by much of the avant garde things being produced. But he fails to take advantage of it. I'll wait and see what on their new record. Spyro Gyra will do Barbara Komansky Where Benson's guitar work is so smooth '/ Jm m ■ M m Prodigal Sun Friday, 16 September 1977 . The Spectrum .

The seven piece group takes on some Kooi and the Gang-style vocals, or should I say. gibberish, but the instrumental sequences sparkle, since the musicians are veteran studio participants.

The man is very optimistic and it doesn't seem that a bulldozer running over his foot would force his faith down. Shiver in the night, Pratt's third album, contains eleven little candy bars, some make it to your mouth white most melt in your hands. Andy is the composer for one classic song, "Avenging Annie," which might have further suffered lack of recognition if it wasn't for Roger Oaltrey's recent cover of it. Between the release of Pratt's early single and this album, he has been as anonymous as his stunning debut 45. Nevertheless, Shiver in the Night is irresistably pleasant, even if some of it dribbles right off of the turntable. Fortunately, there is an avoidance of heavy self-contemplation and a focus on pastoral romance. Each cut carefully blends the pop ballad with electrical ornaments, not too far away from Framptonland. What is certainly amazing about Pratt's lyrics is that he transforms cliche phrases into statements that sound ironically convincing, which is mostly talent rather than luck. The most exceptional cut is "I Want to See You Dance," a disco-ish number that contains a deft mix of romance and eroticism in the outstanding words: Late last night under a sycamore tree. The Cambridge moon came calling me. Seven sea gulls from New Orleans, Calling hey there, lucky boy. You got everything you need. I wanna see you dance, I wanna see you dance, Like a child of love. Don't you know you're free. Takes a woman like you to bring out ) The moon in me. ■ ■ ■■ '■ j' Yes, the word "love" is mentioned at least twenty times per song and images of the sky, water and dreaming are used frequently throughout the album. There is no fault in this but a great deal of the time, there is a ' surprising lack of melody. This is where much of the impact is lost, for lyrics such as these need better musical treatment Arif Mard.n again forms effective string and hom arrangements for his second endeavor with Pratt.

Hopefully, Pratt can be more consistent on the next time around.— Drew Reid KenRay ChaHes/Cleo Lane, Porgy and Bess (RCA) In Cleo Laine's bubbling cauldron, voice is a heavenly lament; a rise to self-inflict optimism in the rise of a realism so pessimistic as to be bloody angels at play. The people portrayed in- Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess a daily play to ward off demons and the people who think they know this 'game' (only to discover themselves used by each other. Checkmate as a wedlock of doom.) A few minutes now, please, as I point some examples. Listen to Cleo on "My Man's Gone Now" the beautiful vocal slide an up ride to impossible heights/not even a strain Cleo comes like summer rain. Change My Man's Gone/Now I'm Coming To. Right This Scene. Circle's curve craves killing's end. Cleo's cry, a defiant ring/clarity born of more than reaction, though some actions she (and we) shall see are to be cancelled out. Ray Charles on Summertime is rough a fineness that is often missed by the unhearing since the emphasis here lullabye often falls on sadness (qt lulling bye suicide i.e. sleeping through a revolution: Your thoughts growing?) and not the reason why. Most can see/now/(did many see when Mr. Gershwin unveiled this opera in '1935/did he?) the toughness generated daily to bear undue abuse/a determination disguised in child behavior/(which this land yet doesn't understand its young cr old) a bravery captured blood hold in Ray's unique grandeur. Then comes Cleo/golden bush horn 'where the sun never sets,' as is said in London/with that strong honeyrich tone and power backed by a depth that few can withstand (some think she has no right to have)/and she hits this song with the sarcasm of Bessie Smith and the uplifted (flamboyant) eyebrow flavor of Lena Horne or Beverly Sills. The . unspoken satire generated by her, and by her and Ray in excellent duet might go like this Summertime (but this s~t it cold) and the living iteasy (it too hard to die whips, dogs, frogs) Fish are iumpin (but niggers stravin' HUH!) and the cotton is high (yeah, money get th'pick o' THIS crop) 0 yo' daddy's rich (he ain't my pick he stole me) and yo' ma is good lookin' (that's how I got in this mess) so hush HT baby (but He straigh t, and 'til we get the props) don’t you cry - — - (be coo!) and so on. - — — — — — = The same irony voices itself in "I Got Plenty of Nothin'" a lost of feelings sparked in Ray's piano at the center of a symbol, still a man (Nice to hear him play again.). Met by grit guitar, a duo sound that captures the atmosphere of a real Catfish Row no fairy tale for us. Different (totally related) dynamics next as Cleo and Ray vocalize and underline throughout into the field, song of tragicomedia overtones that are to be felt more than most people do a hip hobo clown to be hit in the fact by pie eventually (Thanks, Richard Pryor, for the in the sky gritty soliloquy a warning, De light.). Porgy, (who this song is sung by), indeed, is of a level to be viewed, not just witnessed our views, an invite. With the Bess elements present, again we feel multiplication of that enduring of pain. As Carmen McRae sang evocatively. Only Woman Bleed, which is (esp. here) a cuttingly concise critique to be carried forward for correct completion. Ray Charles, thie promise of the Sun, and Cleo Laine, the evidence of brighter stars in the sky.

Am AJC A AM of the year's finest; and is the demanded highquality that was often undelivered on their solo efforts. But die Neil Young album is the most real and immediate release of the year. Young plays and sings rock and roll with a vengeance unmatched by any singer-songwriter (how ill-fitting that tide hat become) to have evolved from the late sixties folkish aggregation. He may well prove to outlast anyone in the battle to maintain sanity and artistry fought within the performer. Where the CSN album is almost pure in its trueness to the individual styles of the group members, the Neil Young disc is parodic in and of itself. Side one,' which best reflects this idea, is played by the bullets. They are the latest evolution from Crazy Horse, carrying forward Bully Talbot and Ralph Mlina. The side also features Ben Keith of the stray Gators, violinist Carole Mayedo. and vocalists Nicolette Larson and (surprise) Linda Ronetadt. Odd as that sounds. Ronstadt adds more by way of contrast to Young's spare vocals than CSN did. Not that one is better than the otber( you understand; it's just that the Bullets are singularly suited to the mood evoked by the tide. The slightly flat violin matches Young in tonality and offsets the more traditional style of Ronstadt and Larson. Thb irony of the pedal steel is perceptive at to be amazing: If I were the Eagles. I would be embarrassed by the disdain audible in The Old Country Waltz and "Saddle Up The Palomino." "It's a cold bowl of chili when love lets you down / But it's a neighbor's wife I'm after." Young is dumped and left with only his horse, comically, like the good oT boy left up the creek without his Porsche Targa. What is also amazing about the sarcasm is that it is heavy with references to Harvest, Young's most commercial (and successful) recording. In spite of all this however. Young still manages to come up with what ii probably the best real country-rock number since "Take It Easy." "Hold Back the Tears" even pays lyrical tribute to the Eagles, a band Young once thought he'd like to Join: Two lying fools, and then four crying eyes ..." It's so simple as to be practically deceiving. "BBite the Bullet," which concludes the side, is so raunchy that it's immediately great. The female vocalists are outstanding on this side. Ronstadt, in particular, virtually outshines the entire volume of her own work, which at times can be too evocative for its own good. All of side two is work that is a year or older, but, if we have to wait that long to get another song like "Hurricane," it's fine with me. "You are like a hurricane / There's calm in your eye ..." Without question, it's the finest usage of an old image ever devised. And side two is raw. It's the way unadorned, unsynthesized rock and roll should be played. Face it. the term "best" is rather inescapable at a time like this. While CSN falls short of the immediate brilliance of American Stan and Ban, it compensates quite fairly in style and production. Crosby is still a spacey politic. Stills remains the maltreated, gruff romantic at heart, and Nash is forever the quietly lyrical poet But the unforgivable excesses of the individual careers have been admirably laid to rest. It's almost an overcompensating apology, from Crosby especially. "Shadow Captain" is more believable than "Almost Cut My Hair," and slips in rather than hitting you annoyingly over your head. Stills' Latin youth is beautiful in "Dark Star," one of the most palatable moments, and "See the Changes," despite the pretentious-sounding title, is the best three vocal ballad since "Helplessly Hoping." and since CSN wrote the book on those, it's the best comparison. Nash stole the performance here, despite heavy competition from Stills. The album's single, "Just a Song Before I Go," better describes the moment of parting that any ballad of the whole affair. His description of encountering his stewardess wife is lovely; "You came from out of the blue." "Cathedral" is profound but not preachy: "I'm flying in Winchester Cathedral / All religion has to have its day." 1 All the songs on the release are finely crafted, obviously the product of many hours of effort. But that's what American Stars and Bars has over CSN: Raw power is never sacrificed for polish. And raw power is often the missed Buffalo in releases lately. The original CSN album of 1969, was polished, but so fresh that it didn't matter. But considering CSN as a milestone rather than trendsetter is easier when considering its They more than any other two merits. Get both releases this year redefine whatever it is they call that kind of rock these days. —Barbara Komansky — C.O.D. 4% ofprtem V OUAMAMTEED only uHth m.O. or CorMHoM ft.

This lovely a product is of the persistent wall of music which covers phenomenon everyone each summer. What better way to begin my Second Annual Summer Music Review and tie the notes and weather together. I sat down and wrote a list of 10 songs. These are songs which I heard on the bus going to camp, when the kids would spot me from the corners of their eyes instinctively mouthing the words. When I was coming home late at night from the Island (guess which one?), I purposely tuned to a station that programmed this popular music so I could sing along and not doze off behind the wheel. Perhaps you can this past summer, • rr\ BOARD / Cooney THE ONE MAN FOLK FESTIVAL were attracted to them? scooped out two candidates for the summer's Kickass I Driving Song. Ones that Al the Bus Driver revved up the moment they have hit the airwaves and pressed his foot a little further down on the gas the pulsating bass chord riffs of Heart's "Barracuda" reached my senses, I felt like pulling out my Jimmy Page Guitar Playing Manual and re-reading it. Ann Wilson maks you feel super-guilty, screaming out viciously at the main who has "tales to tell - they never pedal. When fail." This is surely the winner over Steve Miller's "Jet Airliner," the sequel to "Rock 'n Me," that gave me some thoughts on Miller being an asthmatic. For those who were slow dancing at the neighborhood parties, you may recognize Leo Sayer crooning "When I Need You" into your ear and you just couldn't help holding on tighter. yVith a sax solo dubbed in on the single version, this further heightened the soap opera romance of this cut by one of rock's most dynamic singer/songwriters. Speaking of soap operas, the little six-year-old girls on my bus hypnotically chanted the catchy refrain of Andrew Gold's "Lonely Boy." Gold is a marvelous musician and showed his full deck this past summer as a superb composer of pop. "Lonely Boy" is the worst track on the second album by Gold, so you don't know what you're missing on the rest of it. Another newcomer that made it big this summer past was Foreigner with their moog-intwined rocker, "Feels Like the First Time." a half-ass local band across the street used to play a lame version of it and every Sunday, the female vocalist did injustice to my ears as well as the song. This soon-to-be rock standard came off of a debut record which reminds me of the amazing consistency of Boston's opening shot last fall. If the dancing moved up to the rock the-boat beat, the uptempo drum solo that led into "Whatcha Gonna Do?" by Pablo Cruise was the inevitable clincher. From the sun-drenched album, A Place in the Sun, these boys wouldn't let you drop that "good thing when you've got it in your hands." A sure-fire tune full of bright guitar leads that practically dripped out of the speakers was made for Top 10 airplay. Comic relief came in the form of lOcc and their second smash hit The Things We Do For Love." There were so many hooks in those few minutes, you might have gotten cut. If you could identify with Eric Stewart's and Graham Gouldman's lovers' pratfalls, they were just the sidedish to the main course melody What I can picture about the diabetic "I'm in You" is that when I saw Frampton sing it on the Mike Douglas Show, I was waiting for a band of heavenly angels to swarm in from above. “Terrific words," my Friday, Sept. 16 at 9:30 pm Saturday, Sept. 17 2 shows 8:30, 10:30 Cafeteria 118 Spaulding Cafeteria/ Amherst Ellicott Tickets are BEER - WINE refreshments 1st Floor SQUIRE/MAIN (please note time differences) available at BOTH campuses ticket - — offices and other will be available STUDENTS $1.00 Faculty/Staff $1.25 Public $1.50 � UUAB is Div. of Sub-Board 1, inc. a mother commented sarcastically from the kitchen. Yeah, well, those words belonged to a song that was certainly not at Frampton's romantic best (compared to "Baby, I Love Your Way?"). Anyway, enough female friends sang that simple-minded seduction to persuade me to reluctantly like it. Before "Don't Stop" became the third successful single off of Fleetwood Mac's Rumours, I pondered why it wasn't the first. In a low voice, I samg the chorus at Ronda's house at night in her kitchen, after checking out a nearby film. Christine McVie made the most of three chords in the thumping musical piece of advice Since quiet simplicity made a better ending, James Taylor’s cover of the oldie, "Handy Man," lifted from the magnificent JT, best summed up the qualities of the summer fever. Basic guitar picking, an adhesive tune and a captivatingly easy chorus was the equivalent to any carefree night before I left Ronda to go up to school. It was especially reminiscent of the last night together walking down the boardwalk of Jones Beach on a brisk evening and that unsure feeling in my head. Some radio nearby was playing "Handy Man" and now it brings back a Pavlovian response. Next year, before the summer's wildness sets in, think of the songs you heaid over and over again the previous year. Feel out the types of songs they were, how they affected you and it won't be hard to find new ones with a similar purpose. There will always be a barrage of guitars that will provoke your killer instinct and another that will be the one you want to have played over the radio when your mate is Drew Reid coming over to go out.

Although behind late in the game, the Bulls played as if the contest had just begun as their hustle allowed Karrer to score after a scramble in front of the Purple Eagle net.

That is to say, at this point, it does not exist. The responsibility for maintaining any semblance of an office has been passed on by Sub Board to Group Legal Services. What was not passed on was a coherent plan to insure that the functional ability of the service would not be impaired and that time would not be lost in the interim. The fact of the matter is. Sub Board really dropped off campus housing onto Group Legal Service's shoulders, but didn't give them a body or legs on which to stand. What this alludes to is that to provide the maximum service possible to students (and at this time of year that service is vital), the sheets on the boards must be changed daily. Most importantly, a separate telephone line and personnel to operate it must be provided, because that is the only means of offering fresh names and numbers of landlords and possible vacancies to students who are now sleeping on their friends' living room floors. Group Legal Services has neither the phone lines nor the secretarial capacity to handle constant calls and new names and addresses. To not provide them with such facilities was a big mistake on Sub Board's part. Sub Board is therefore urged to either allocate to Group Legal Services the money to hire a secretary and to buy another phone line specifically used for off campus housing, or to directly provide GLS with a phone and a secretary, both so necessary to insure a maximum service to students. Special appreciation must be given to one Elissa Buckman, a student who works at GLS and who happer.ed to take an interest in the off campus housing proceedings. She made phone calls and actually provided much of the information that appears in today's article. She didn't have to get involved, but felt compelled to do so because it seemed that "no one was doing anything about the situation." Maybe she regrets getting involved; it is hoped not. No one should ever regret getting involved. Remember Kent State ft is a direct affront to students everywhere and a blow to the remembrance of the anti-Vietnam War movement and a shocking insult to the souls of those four students killed in 1970 that Kent State University officials in Ohio have decided to continue construction of a gym annex on the site of the infamous May 4, 1970 massacre. At that time, students who had the guts and the presence of mind to stand up against the American government and its involvement in the filth of the Vietnam War faced nervous, trigger happy National Guardsmen OB a grassy hill and soccer field on the Kent State University Campus. 13 seconds later, four students lay dead and nine wounded. AH were shot from behind. No Guardsman was ever charged for their deaths. To build a gym on that site is to glorify what the students were demonstrating against, the Vietnam War. and is to attempt to eradicate their place of struggle and death in American history. This past summer, students and faculty from this University (including three The Spectrum editors) participated in demonstrations at Kent State University against the building of the gym. The Spectrum's position has not changed. "Remember Kent State, Move the Gym." Hundreds were arrested this summer when they refused to leave the construction site. Many more will undoubtedly be arrested in the days and weeks to come, because students there are talking about tearing down the fences surrounding the site and impairing the bulldozers that now occupy the land. The Spectrum supports any course of action students there plan to take to prevent construction. The May 4 Coalition at KSU knows the consequences of whatever it deems necessary to foul up the designs of university officials. Its members are prepared to struggle just as their older brothers and sisters did in 1970. Don't forget them. Show your support.

This installment will introduce the column to the members of the University community who returned this fall and are not acquainted with it. Yes, this is what Jay Ros#n calls a traditional introduction to a news column. Through the column, we at SA would like to inform students about campus affairs involving SA and highlight other issues of student concern. By doing so, we hope to ease the communication problems that have existed over the last few years. Consequently, we hope that a more informed student body will result in a more active student body working toward common goals. Another reason for the creation of this column is to be a kind of liaison between the Amherst and Main St. campuses. Confusion will abound surrounding this year’s move to Amherst by many academic departments, the student governments, and the University Central Administration. This column will hopefully btfdge the gaps caused by a split UnhmrsUy and a split student body. invite your comments, criticisms and suggestions about both SA and the column.

Roman's letter ("Appeasement of Jewish Minority”) concerning the Jewish Holy Days, let me first say that the minority he is speaking of is a minority of approximately 3000 students, according to the number of students that indicated their religion on the school’s optional questionnaire and 5400 students according to the This is in rebuttal to an article (?) that was in the issue of Monday, 12 September 1977, entitled "Appeasement of Jewish majority Jewish Student Union's figures. However, this number game of Mr. Roman's is a poor argument in any case, because we are talking about student ethics and not considerations, principles, and arithmetic statistics. Does Mr. Roman realize the significance of these Holy Days? (Apparently not!) Does he realize that any Jew wishing to observe these Holy Days in an Orthodox manner cannot attend classes? This is because he cannot write nor use electricity (including motorized transportation). This student is also required to attend services at specific time and is not able to go to a later service in order to make up for the one he missed during his classes. Does Mr Roman think that the Orthodox Jew wants two extra vacation days'* Come on now, Mr. Roman, let us use our heads, furthermore, is It fair for a student to be religiously discriminated against (can t attend lectures, lake labs or exams, nor obtain materials from that day for (he next day’s lectures, labs, and exam)? This right of religious students has been protected in the N.V.S. Higher hducation Law (Section 224-a) entitled SliiJt ni I > nahle Heean.se nj KcHkihiis Hellels hi AllcnJ Classes nn Certain Dues for years. Don't you think it was about time that we actually followed the spirit of this law? I hope Mr Roman is able to see that his argument of giving off another Holy Day as a tradeoff is nonsensical. (As a sidepoint, Xmas is already mandated by the SUNY System because of its importance to Christians). The problems of each Holy Day involved are unique and these days can’t actually be compared to each other. I urthermore, Mr Roman, this problem is not as plain cut as you make it out to be. I’ve worked on this problem for a year and was the one instrumental in obtaining these days as mandatory days off for twenty-nine state schools. The contents of this letter nor one twenty times this size would do justice to all the unique hassles the Jewish students confront during classes on these days. In conclusion, may all the students use this time off toward their academic goals and may all the Jewish students use this time to observe their Holy Days, in a proper unrestrained manner. (L’Shannah Tovah) Rov Schniiiklci I.caul Hu: I in Chairman Jewish Sliulcnl Union would like to publicly thank the HO or more ( ongressmen, Mayors and organizations that have given me their help and support in order to correct a wrong in our school I’.S. I State Assemblymen. Senators, system printed in The Spectrum minority." Upon feasting my eyes on the above mentioned article I realized that it is true that anyone can have anything printed. The article entitled "Appeasement of Jewish minority" borders on slander and accentuates the narrowminded abilities of the writer. I am of the Jewish faith and am proud of it but I also respect the faiths of others and do not attempt to slander or chastise them My first criticism upon reading the first part of the article was here is a person that after four years of college can only remember the negative qualities of a learning institution. Upon continuing to read I realized the true content of the article. My reason for writing this is not to be the avenging angel of the Jewish people but only to attempt to clearly and without prejudice review the claims made by Mr I’at ('. Roman. Perhaps an appropriate start would be to begin a sentence taken from ''Appeasement of Jewish nimlony" I quote; are "The minority tokl that is the article appeased a ml the religions (heir or insignificant." Bullshit, I don’t know whether Mr. Roman realizes it or not but since the independence of this country there is no majority or minority. We are all Americans with equal rights no matter what our religious beliefs are or our colors. In the article Mr. Roman composed with a great deal of thought, he neglected to mention the holidays of Christinas and faster, and also the law of one time that stores are to be closed on Sunday's. I also was not aware that in order for a person or persons beliefs to be respected, they must be in a position of plurality In conclusion, Mr. Roman. I respect your feelings yet I think you should show a little consideration for the feelings of others as that will probably help you immensely upon your imminent graduation from the State University of New York at Buffalo. Mark I. Ah inht ri; It’s high time To the I Jilor In I’at C f*/l2, Roman Roman's letter in The S/ieelrnni ol claims that by recognizing Jewish religious holidays, the University is "departing even more from a Stale Institution." In her righteous indignation over the separation ot Church and State and the lack of recognition of the majority, she chooses to overlook that classes are never held I) On any Sunday, although they are held on No one planned to Saturdays (in fact, some exams are held on Saturdays as well) 2) The week after faster, although that holiday always falls on a Sunday 3) An In lire Month before, during and after the two days of Christmas and the Christian New Year The majority has been recognized and with a vengence. It is high time others' religions were treated with more nearly equal respect. ClilJorJ Talk suffer To the T.ililor It is pleasing to see that some students arc so observant of the "goings on" here at the University However, I fail to see how someone as obviously perceptive as Pat Roman could maintain that threedays off for Rush Hashanah and Vom Kippur could cause the majority of people here to suffer I talked to many people at UB about these threedays off. Some planned to study Some planned to party. Some planned to straighten out their classes, and some planned to pray Surprisingly enough, no one planned on doing any suffering II Mr Roman feels slighted in regard to his religious beliefs, it would behoove him to take it up with the administration.

Ih in e Dm non Friday. 16 September 1977 . The Spectrum Page twenty seven �Uirging the Governor Editor's note: The following letter was sent to Graduate Student Carey by Association Vice President Stephen Shanlev. Governor Hugh Dear Governor Carey 1 write to you about the current SUNY budget crisis in three capacities as a graduate student in Clinical Psychology, as Administrative Vice President of the Graduate Student Association, and as a New York taxpayer. My education has already been jeopardized enough due to past SUNY budget cutbacks without having to endure further projected cutbacks this year. I’ve seen a steady deterioration in the quality of my faculty, as several excellent non-tenured and even tenured faculty have left for more challenging and rewarding positions elsewhere. There’s a hopeless feeling in my department and several others that the University is going downhill and that its promises of improved laboratory, classroom and research resources cannot be delivered. There’s also a growing resentment here that SUNY Central and ex-governor Rockefeller decided to mortgage the future of the University through the construction of the mammoth and extravagant Amherst Campus. Students are just now becoming aware of the cost of retiring the Debt Service on terms designed more for the bankers’ profit motives than for the educational needs of the students. What bitter irony that students will be driven away from an ever more expensive <nd less comprehensive university education while that monument to bureaucratic vanity continues to suck up dwindling financial resources! SUNY Central seems unable to place student needs as a top priority in their budgeting. What a fungus they have become, feeding off society’s desperate need for an educated and critical populace! I’m afraid that many students have also succumbed to a narrow, self-serving and bureaucratic definition of education. This gives taxpayers the false impression that students don’t return to society the investment society makes in their education. In this cycle of forgotten ideals, lost enthusiasm, and deteriorating public support everyone loses. Once again the burden of change and revitalization falls on the shoulders of the person most accountable and hence open to the average taxpayer voter, and student. In your recommendations for the SUNY budget, I and literally thousands of concerned graduate and undergraduate students ask that you use the power of your office to return student needs to the top priority they truly are. This could be done in several ways: Insure full funding of I OP, TAP and SUS 1. forms of financial assistance and, specifically, raise teaching stipends for SUNY graduate students, who currently are among the poorest paid graduate workers in any major university system, 2. Place a ceiling on projected price rises in tuition, dorm rent, and ancillary services; 3. Freeze construction debt service payments to banks or arrange a less costly and damaging form of paying for the excesses of past administrations; Mandate the creation of state-supported 4. university day care centers, which can free students and would-be students to more efficiently and securely pursue a university education, 5. Insure adequate health care for students, a group traditionally lost in the confusion between family policies and makeshift University policies; 6. Improve the existing inadequate library resources of SUNYAB; 7. Instigate reorganization of the SUNY bureaucracy, to improve efficiency and the quality of faculty and administrators alike. Finally, let me add my sympathy for the people who have to deal with this crisis. A budget cut hurts students directly, but budget increases don't necessarily filter through to Improve the quality of a student’s education or life. Revitalization is needed throughout the SUNY system, hopefully, some of the above suggestions can help both you and us to achieve this goal. Stephen Shuttle \ President Student Assiiciullnti. SUN ) I H .4 dmuiislrativc I interference and sabotage of China’s economic production have been dealt with both in depth and breadth across the country. Under the leadership of Hua, according to the Chinese people, solutions havebeen attempted in many most contradictory issues in a dialectic manner with great precautions. Most outstandingly, Vice-Chairman Teng llsiao-ping of the Party was reinstated in July, 1977, as a result of by Mong Heng Tan Surprised self-qualified be those will “sinologists” to see how Chairman Hua Kuo-feng, who first timely served as the Chinese Premier and now Chairman of the Chinese Communist Party, effectively consolidating the Chinese people to leap forward, fully actualizing their democratic socialism careful re-evaluation of his previous discredilations by the turn of the century. This very important Chinese historic task was pronounced in the 11th National Congress of the Party, held in mid-August alleged purposely by the “C.ang of lour .” In the economic front, according to llua's report, since the smashing of the “Gang of lour,” beginning from March. 1977, industrial production, the volume of transport, state purchases and sales of commodities and state revenues have all gone up, setting new records by successively exceeding the previous peaks for the corresponding periods. The mass movements to learn from Taching in industry and from Tachai in agriculture are surging ahead on an unprecedented scale. Undoubtedly, a new leap forward is taking shape in China’s economy Furthermore, the mass struggle to expose anil criticize the “Gang of Four” is pushing forward the revolution on the scientific and technological front, in education, in literature and art, and in public health 1977. Indeed, in 1976, one witnessed extraordinary political disorders in the People’s Republic with the respective deaths of late Premier Chou Fn-lai and Chairman Mao Tse-tung of the Party. Fven Hua himself had timely admitted such a critical Chinese historical moment at the end of the year. Nevertheless, the Chinese leadership change in time, according to their own interpretations, was indeed another and yet greater victory won in the continued process of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, launched by Mao personally eleven years ago. As exemplified by the overwhelming results of the current political line and class struggles, the socialist Chinese revolution has once again overcome another political as well as cultural stalemate, that would promoted have otherwise subversively great economic stagnation and social discontent across the country. The exposure of the “Gang of Four” has indeed brought forth China a present excellent new situation and hope. It has be»n in fact a tremendous liberation of the Chinese people in many terms, especially in their thoughts and productive forces, in particular, according to a recent editorial of the No one China observer from distant lands could analyze the present new situation in the People’s Republic more accurate than any of (he actual Chinese history makers himself. Ilua declared in the congress that the smashing of the “Gang of Four” marks the triumphant conclusion ol the First (ireat Proletarian Cultural Revolution which lasted eleven years, and this has ushered in a new period ol development in the country’s socialist revolution and socialist construction. Now, stability and unity can be achieved and great order across the land can be attained in the continuing revolutionary course of making China a great, powerful, and modern socialist country before the turn of this century. As now People's Daily . While there have been many different speculations the world over with regard to China’s future development, stability, and unity since the death of Mao, no one will now deny that ld76 was indeed a critical historical turning point for the Chinese people as well as their rightful destiny in pursuing their socialist revolution and socialist construction. The present situation in China is very good, Hua pointed out in his political report to the I 1th Party Congress. It has been indeed in accordance with what Mao had said at the beginning of the Cultural Revolution “C.reat disorder across the land leads to great order.” Wise as being claimed to be by the Chinese people, llua has in actuality proven to he surmountable of their expectations, and most importantly, efficient Since October, l l »7b, the exposure of the “Cang of four’s” attempted and of upsurging political criticisms their exemplified by mass Page twenty-eight The Spectrum .

Ilua has succeeded consolidating the Party cadres and further boldly thrusted them with an important historic task. Such mass demonstrations had only been witnessed by distant observers associating with victorious historical events in the People’s Republic. Thus, what remains to be seen is yet the timely outcome of such a Chinese historic task to be actualized m the land of great order.

Donner was even more optimistic. “We’ll surprise a lot of people,” he said. “Right now we do have a good nucleus to work with.” But if the revitalized football program is to get off the ground, it’s going to take more than just players’ and coaches’ involvement. It will take the entire student body and the Buffalo community for the program to be a success. ‘This is their (the students) team,” said Dando. ‘They wanted it so they should come out and by The Crystal BuNs With Ziggy and All the Bag’s Men m such places as Wharton.

The Specturn Friday, 16 September 1977 . TRB Chairman Thompson took his subcommittee down to Roanoke Rapids, N.C. for the hearings and asked representatives of the J.P. 45,000 Co., with Stevens employees and $1.5 billion net sales around the world, to appear. They didn’t. There are several Stevens plants in the vicinity. Louis Harrell was one of the workers. He testified huskily. He worked there 26 years, he said. He quit, he explained: “I got to breathing so bad.” Diagnosis; bysslnosis (brown lung). That was a couple of years ago. -It'S a curious contest, this one between Mrs. Bailey and Louis Harrell on one side and the gigantic conglomerate on the other. Stevens probably makes the sheets you sleep on tonight (Utica and Tastemaker). It’s the second largest textile firm in the country. And ingenious; it has found that a big firm doesn’t really have to 1935 Wagner Act. It’s obey free enterprise. Forty-two years after the law declared it, “the to policy of the United States and encourage the practice procedure of collective bargaining,” J.P. Stevens has found it cheaper to pay occasional fines in low-wage states than to obey the law. Crime pays. Do I exaggerate? Here are excerpts from the finding of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, handed down on August 31. If ... said that the court is probably a little bit miffed. In earlier cases (“Stevens I and II”) the Court Labor upheld the National Board’s finding “that Stevens has engaged in massive violations of its employees’ rights ....” Now it is shocked to discover that “these cases marked only the beginning of Stevens’ battle with the union” that got it the reputation of “the most notorious recidivist” in the field of labor law. The Court finds none of the new transgressions as imaginative as earlier ones, when for example in 1973 Stevens bugged the motel room where the union was organizing its campaign. But the court found that Stevens had coerced and fired employees; “the of using minor or pattern non-existent rules to harrass union organizers is unmistakable.” If Stevens pays a fine for the government defying the law pays half the tax law permits the fine to be written off as a legitimate business expense. And the same benign government gives out contracts to the violator; just recently Stevens got a $3.4 contract for Army million clothing material. (Defend your country in a non-union uniform.) The union is trying to organize a bpycott of Stevens’ products — - hosiery, (Fruit-of-the-Loom Oulistan carpets, etc.).

In addition. Student Association (SA) President Dennis Delia claimed that he had been given a promise by University President Robert Ketter that once the idpey slated for Amherst construction is received, Phase H of the gym will receive top priority. The lack of a SUNY-wide construction plan has been a continual source of aggravation and disappointment for administrators and students here who have resolved to get the new campus built. According to Delia, die State Division of the Budget (DOB) has, in die past, withheld funds due to the failure of the SUNY Board of Trustees to produce a comprehensive construction {dan. Now Delia feels DOB will have no choice but to deliver the funds appropriated for Amherst construction. fa the late 1960s, when plans for “the campus of the future” were devised, a construction ceiling of S6S0 million was set. Since then, the State has spent approximately S300 million far the campus, while officials anxiously await the release of the remaining funds. ‘‘Well never get what was originally appropriated," Delia said, “but we are looking forward to the plan’s development so that, construction can continue next year.” Phase 11 has long been considered the more important portion of the gym since.it will house a gymnasium and a natatorium, including a triple gym, a squash court, a swimming pool, a diving pbp), classrooms and a spectator and press area. Phase I will feature a field house which will include a playing floor, seating far 10,000 people, i lecture hall and a locker area. of Federal The Capital procurement Construction Funds earlier this summer will enable work to begin on Phase 1 in April, 1978. If the essential buildimu Delia said uuuuuigs, vnH “Whatever buildings are on the priority list will be the first to to up. We want to see as many Amherst buildings on that list as possMt.*^ Delia felt that priority should be given to a music hall, libraries, student activity buddings and a lecture hall. The fate of the student union is particularly emgmantic since only three of the original six structures have been completed, while the remaining three have not been given priority. Hence, student organizations have found themselves divided between Main Street’s Squire Hall and Amherst’s Nortun-Capcn-Talbert Complex. Recently, construction resumed on the Amherst campus with the awarding of three contracts to local firms. The Phillip Dorsheimer Laboratory (a biology greenhouse), the John Beane Center (a sendee and administrative building), a —aphnme, roads and utilities are presently undergoing construction. �i— * absolutely aosoiuieiy ” oscmidi Let us hope Ketter was heartened by work on the new projects saying: “The resumption of construction activity on our Amherst Campus is good news to both University and the Western New York community. The University needs these new facilities and the Western New York area desperately needs the employment that this construction will create. Let us hope that this is only the beginning of the process of completing the campus facilities so vital to the continuance of the University's quality academic, research and public service programs.” Ketter further warned that the campus will remain “non-functional” if not completed. Delia, commenting on Amherst’s present “non-functional” status, and the molasses-like construction process quipped, “For the yet unborn, there might be a nice campus someday.” After struggling for yean with overcrowded facilities and an understaffed faculty, the Division of Undergraduate Education has waived the physical education requirement for all students who have completed at least 12 credit hours. Incoming freshmen students win now be required to complete two semester hours of physical education in their first year. According to a memorandum issued by Walter Kunz, Acting Dean of Undergraduate Education, “Due to the University’s inability to offer enough sections of basic physical education (RAI) because of inadequate facilities and staff shortages, the University physical education requirement (two semester hours of 100 level RAI courses) is being wanned for all day students who have completed 12 or more semester hours.” Millard Fillmore College freshmen arc stfll exempt from the requirement. No more worry For students who have been dosed out of gym dataes year after year and were worried about finishing their requirement in order to graduate, the announcement earns as a relief. “We’ve had this problem for four or five years," said Kunz. “We required it (physical education), but didn’t have the facilities to accommodate all the students.” Viola Die bold, Coordinator of Base Instruction for' the Department another schedule The to do agreed for three yean to take tennis, and now 1 won’t be able to,” complained one disgruntled senior. physical - — Upperclassmen Allowed Both Kunz and Die bold emphasized that upperclassmen can take gym classes as long as they are not filled by freshmen first If there are extra spots in the dasses, seniors will pet them first. This solution is a temporary one at best, until a new gym is built on the Amherst Campus and faculty lines are restored. "We need about three buildings the size of Clark Hall,” said Diebold. The new gym has been approved by Albany, although construction has yet to begin. Students should benefit from taking physical education in their first year, said Diebold. “They’ll be able to establish skills early, and go on to participate in intramural, recreational or even intervarsity athletics,” die said. Will the overloaded facilities and staff be able to accommodate all of the freshmen this year? “We hope we can accommodate them in fire fall, spring and summer," said Diebold. And what three semesters happens if they can’t? “I don’t even want to think about drat,” said Kunz. ?■ - - Despite heavy use Off-campus housing office closed by Sub Board by Brett Kline Editorin-Chief then became, could we operate it for this much,” he said. Computer listings expensive “No one was happy with the service then and we received many phone calls about it," Black continued. "The computer listings weren’t worth what they should have been because they weren’t run enough,” he noted. Heidi Lewis, the director of the Off-Campus Housing Office, requested about $8600 from Sub Board for the 1977-78 school year. At the Sub Board budget hearings in August, the office was granted $6400. Two weeks later it was closed. Black estimated that the highest expense of the housing service was maintaining up-to-date computer listings, an expense that the administration could afford bnt that Sub Board and Group Legal Services could not. “A more effective method will be to keep the names on thk bpards outside the office, which will be continued under Group Legal Services,” he said. $850 has been aboeated by Sub Board for the purpose. Hack explained that when the transition was made from the administration to Sub Board i, the office’s budget was “paired down" to about $5500. “The question Office very bwy Dene Schweitzer, Due to a last minute budget crunch, Sub Board I has closed the Off-Campus Housing office. Originally financed by the University Administration, the Off-Campus Housing Office was turned over to Sub-Board’s jurisdiction last year, and continued to provide students looking for rooms, houses- and apartments with names of landlords and possible vacancies. Sub Board Treasurer Dennis Black said, however, that the Squire HaO office will be reopened “hopefully by Wednesday.” h will now fait under the jurisdiction of Croup Legal Services, which will assume responsibility as soon as some unexpected personnel problems are taken care of, according to Black. who worked in the office throughout the summer, was surprised and dismayed when acting director of Squire Hal], Bob Henderson, notified her on August 30 that die office space was being taken away. On September I the phones were taken out “In the last three or four weeks the office was wry busy,” said Schweitzer, “with about 2S people a day if not more coming up, phis the people outside looking at the boards.” She estimated that at least five landlords a day reported houses and apartments for rent to the office. Landlords often called in more than one house at a time. “Many elderly women with big houses called up looking for student roomers,” Schweitzer continued. “The office was packed with people the day it was dosed and it was definitely getting more crowded as school started.” As discouraged house-seekers found the office dosed, they began ripping down signs and names and addresses from the boards outside in the hall, realizing there would be no more service. Now, however, as Sub Board Treasurer Black emphasized, “The boards will be up with sheets and supervision no later than Wednesday ” �t#: j of summer events Move to buildings, MaimghiK h'Jllor .cupancy for five years.

His faith was too great to dispute the belief. “Everyone plays a little dirty at election time; 1; mean, it’s politics, right?” commented a young female Eve supporter. She was responding to the biggest issue in the campaign so far: Democratic mayoral contenders had charged Democratic County Chairman Joseph Crangle with totally running City Hall. They believed this “bossism” was a product of Erie County’s strong Democratic machine. At times during the campaign, Arthur O Eve and James Griffin indirectly and directly pointed out that the endorsed Democratic candidate Leslie Foschio was merely a puppet to be manipulated by Joe Crangle. But the women, who had been an . Eve backer since the mid-sixties, was caught off guard. She turned to leave, “Please don’t put my name er picture in the paper.

Grangle was dying, politically, By morning, 13 of 19 political candidates endorsed by Crangle had been defeated. One of the strongest political machines in the nation was dying too. Crangle, sometimes alluded to having the power of Chicago’s Richard Daley, would not say what happened to the machine. So Buffalo was the big machine. He stipulated he would run again to be the county’s chairman. Lips have a stiff upper labial when - rigor mortis sets in. Crangle’s end?

Eve claims victory before ecstatic s With less than half the votes tallied, Griffin declared himself a winner in the primary. He said he didn’t, have the money the other candidates had, didn’t have the pretty boy image of those in City Hall. Then his eyes turned heavenward as the effect became r- ‘somebody up there likes me.’ Middleclass, steel worker-type supporters gathered at the Peace Bridge Exhibition Center to celebrate. A south Buffalo employee of Bethlehem Steel chugged beer and mentioned how sweet victory was. A man wearing a ‘Dump Foschio’ T-shirt was euphoric as he agreed with the exuberant atmosphere. A number of Griffin advocates surrounded a television set to bathe some more in the glory. They were shocked, their mouths hung open in disbelief. Because Eve was ahead. By over 200 votes.

In order to comply with a SUNY Central order to justify the hundreds of four credit courses that require only three contact (classroom) hours, the committee examined all such courses and set specific guidelines for instructors to meet. All justifications submitted to the committee were eventually approved and, according to Dr. Murdock, “it is our feeling that many, if not the majority of the courses affected.have been ‘beefed up* in.order to pass the justification process.'* The areas most affected were the Colleges along with upper level Social Science and Arts and Letters courses. The courses that were justified will now require additional reading, more papers.s and more work outside of class. All professors teaching in the above areas were asked to substantiate the value of their particular courses according to a Set of criteria. Courses in the natural sciences (because of their fab time) and management courses (because of the management department’s total revision in 1969), already met these standards and did not have to be justified. The instructors were required to reflect the increased workload in their syllabi. defense of the new card. He. fell that in the past, II) cards had served too many purposes, stating, “It’s not meant to be an entrance ticket to a beer garden.” Squire Hall, the new card brings the response, “I need something with your signature on it.” Missing information The deleted information is also necessary for getting a beer in the Rathskeller, buying books by check and in case of accident or emergency. Many students, Student approval Dremuk stressed that the new card was designed with student approval. Lee Perez and Steven Schwartz, then coordinator of Student Affairs and president pf SA respectively, were official members of the ID card committee. According to SA Vice President Lalonds, assistant to the President Ronald Stein, also a committee member, stated that neither Perez nor Schwartz showed up at the meetings. Stein was reportedly in favor of including more specifics on the cards, but after the fifth meeting with no student representation, he claimed the attitude became, “if the students aren’t arguing for anything, then why should we?’’ One enterprising student, after receiving his card from the file, made for the nearest typewriter and, added his date of birth and major. Signing the back, he returned to Ilarriman to have the card completed with photo and lamination. especially those who do not drive, are under eighteen or have recently turned eighteen, do not already have proper identification. They must therefore rely on their University ID. “The new card lacks practicality,” agreed Student Association (SA) Vice President Andy Lalonde. “It serves no purpose whatsoever.” “We’ve had complaints but it doesn’t really matter,” said one student working on the ID assembly line. “The Administration does not care. It’s just like Kent State they’re going to build that gym anyway.” She further likened the ID improved says situation to the planning of the Dremuk that the sprawling, decentralized Amherst construction of the cards is an campus, which was termed by The over the more improvement Spectrum this summer as an flimsy paper used in past years. administrative scheme to prevent The cards are not suitable for use student uprisings. with the new library computer “They’re trying to restrict us selection system, he said.

Lack of pertinent ID data may cause difficulties this year for University police. When Food and Vending Services asked for patrolmen to check proof in the EUicott pub, police had to say no. "It’s impossible with no DOB (date of birth),” sighed Captain Jack Eggert. “The cards are no good and needless to say, they can be easily duplicated.” The cards are permanent, meaning they will not be reissued each year. The cryptic “17” which appears on all the new cards is a code for the date of issue, in this case, semester 1 of ’77. Validation for spring semester (27) will consist of a peel-off sticker in die space marked “OAR.” A heat stamp will be used for each new school year. Whereas the old cards cost S.1S each per semester, according to Dremuk, the new blue will cost only $.23 per student for four years. “It figures that since they’re good for nothing, they’re permanent,” commented sophomore JanisFox. Card committee set-up At a meeting last week with President Ketter, SA officers Delia, Lalonde and Seiden voiced the complaints of so many students. Lalonde stated since that Ketter seemed concerned and that a committee is being set up to look into the situation, adding that he believed some change will be made. Might there be a silver lining to the ID cloud? Well, who is to know that you’re not a student five years from now as you flash your undated card for a student discount rate? If your desire for gratification is more immediate, you can cash in on the chips at McDonalds. The “free frosh fries’* offer runs till February 28, 1978. Resubmission The Faculty-Senate Committee serves no role in ensuring that these changes are implemented. It will be up to the individual professor to follow the additional requirements set forth. Of all the courses that required justification, S-IO percent necessitated resubmission because their new standards were not sufficient to allow four credits for three contact hours. —continued on There IS a AjgU page 12— difference!!!

I described a week-long leafleting campaign outside the men’s room in Harriman basement, protesting Campus Security’s practice of employing undercover details to, ostensibly, clamp down on “deviate sexual activity” in that bathrrom. As documented in The Spectrum and Ethos articles over the past two years, such routine and continual patrolling turns out to be more an exercise in discrimination against gay males on this campus, than protection of the University community. I want to share some of the questions which arose among those who participated in the Co., Chicago 1970).

Cruising stops when a stmager enters, and resumes only when/if he makes it clear that he is interested in playing. Obviously, cruisers are not interested in offending straights, molesting youth, and getting arrested.

Additional persons were assigned to the rooms due to an increased demand for housing this fall. The great number of requests Cor dormitory accommodations necessitated the overcrowding. The decision to overcrowd the dorms, according to Director of Housing Madison Boyce was based on the belief that for every extra student accepted in the dorms, one would not show up. Boyce emphasized that the overcrowding problem is a temporary one, providing the “no-show” theory holds water. Boyce, who claimed that the number of “no shows” equals about four percent of die requests for housing, said the additional requests for housing this fall have equalled the estimated number of “no shows” and claimed, “hopeftdly no overcrowding will be left.” The overcrowding has affected doable rooms on the Main Street Campus and in the Governor’s Residence Halls at Amherst, along with some triple rooms in the EUicott Complex. According to Assistant Director of Housing Cliff Wilson, the triples in EUicott will be “de-quartered” first, and then overcrowded doubles wiU be handled. > M - High and low seniority The criterion used in determining which rooms were to be overcrowded, according to Boyce, was based ort a seniority system, whereby fiedunan and transfers were given the lowest priority. However, these were not the only people affected, for example, the fourth person in an overcrowded triple may have a low seniority code, but his three roommates may, in fact, have high ones. One outraged sophomore in such a situation complained of a freshman male who received a double, “I should have higher priority,” he said. Boyce, in response to this assertion said the entire program could not be reorganized to assure those with higher seniority of receiving their choices first. However, he indicated that such rooms were high on the list of rooms to be “de<|uartered.” Only the fourth person in each of the overcrowded triples was notified of the status of his room, due to a lack of time. One-RA in EUicott said it usually came as a big shock to those who could not be notified. Boyce, who said that it would be impossible to notify everyone in advance, daimed that the occupants of a room in substandard condition are entitled to in inconvenience fee reduction.

Boyce said those students who apply for housing at a later date have a smaller chance of receiving the rooms they requested. The system which assigns people to rooms is operated sometime in July even though requests for housing continue throughout the summer. Those students whose housing applications are received after the initial system is run are placed in remaining rooms. This explains why law and graduate students who apply late are housed with undergraduates instead of in the designated areas in Governor’s and EUicott. When asked what will happen next year should the same surpluse situation occur, Boyce said an “analysis ofresidential space” is being conducted, whi'h includes the office space in Spaulding Quad and the space used by the residential colleges in the EUicott Complex. in December 1975 with $4 OUR SUPPER YES DAY You missed some great food (home cooked) and some good fun (volleyball).

First of all, it should be noted that the drop to Division III does not mean that UB’s teams will not strive for excellence. They most certainly will continue to strive for excellence. And the drop to Division III is not a “de-emphasis of athletics” as Buffalo’s newspapers and television stations reported. By going to Division-Ill, the University admitted that it cannot compete effectively at a Division I level, the NCAA’s highest level of of competition. Most Division I schools offer scholarships to most of their athletes, while SUNY schools are not permitted to give scholarships for athletics. As wrestling coach Ed Michael noted, “Budding a winner all boils down to dollars and cents.” Given that restriction, Division III seems to be the best choice. Division II has a scholarship structure similar to Division I, the only difference being that the total number of scholarships a school can offer in any sport ialess. Division III only allows scholarships based on need. Chance for a championship Another reason in selecting Division 111 was that it would allow many of Buffalo’s teams to compete in national championships in Division III, that is. In Division I, the Bulls’ chances of winning any national championships were nil. In fact, an old joke around The Spectrum office was that if a UB team ever did win a national title, the headline would • read: “Hell Fretzes Over!” Now, a national championship would not be quite so miraculous. Two examples should prove the point. Buffalo’s wrestlers had been moderately successful in Division I, but in their league, the Eastern Wrestling League, Buffalo won only one match in two years. However, against the Division III national champion, Brodkport State, Buffalo scored a 23-15 win. The other example concerns Eldred Stephens. As a track runner for Up, Stephens was good, but Rood tpopgh for a chance to compete in post-season play, However, Stephens transferred to Division HI Fredonia State and last year Stephens and his Fredonia team went to the national championships and did very well. Don’t get the impression, however, that going Division III will automatically turn all of Buffalo’s teams into winners. Last year, the UB basketball team lost by 30 points to Division III Albany, and - Best spot Basketball coach Leo Richardson and wrestling coach Michael both admitted they would have preferred to stay in Division I, but they conceded that under the circumstances. Division III may be Buffalo’s best position. Men’s athletic director Ed Muto said that the change would be a good thing for the Athletic Department, and under the 1 think he’s right. Baseball will remain in Division I. NCAA rules state that one sport at a Division III school can remain in Division I. Baseball was chosen because it has been extremely successful even without scholarships. In the last two years they have reached the playoffs and in 1976, they led the nation in team batting average. Hockey stays in Dninoo II, winch is an BCAC (Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference) designation, not an NCAA designation. It makes sense, too, because most of the team’s opponents are members of Division IL Miscellaneous: In case you missed anything over the summer, here is a quickie recap. Bulls’ pitcher Bill Casbolt signed a contract with the Kansas City Royals, and Mike Dixon signed with the Philadelphia Phillies. The track team and the fencing team have both been returned to vanity status after a one year absence. The scoreboard at Rotary Field reportedly has been fixed, and new scoreboards also have been purchased. Mike Reilly returns as Buffalo’s head athletic trainer. He held But position from 1974-76, but was at Canisius last year. Dick Baldwin is no longer officially the school’s Sports Information Director (SID), although he is still handling the duties until a new SID can be found. Mike Kitsch, Buffalo’s best golfer last year, is now UB golf coach. Connie Camnitz has been named women’s tennis coach and Betty Dimndck, last year’s tennis coach, takes over field hotkey.

The development will include retail stores, office space, and a 150-room hotel. vi'• The green light fur the $9-10 million project came as a signed lease between the State and the UB Foundation, which has designed plans for the development. Though legislation permitting the commercial development on State land was passed in 1975, DOB -held- uj> tjie • ' _ project by refusing to agree on various details of the lease. At the same time, inflation continually pushed the original S8 million price tag , upward. The major stumbling block had been DOS’s insistence that revenue from individual merchants be required to go to SUNY first, as payment for rent, rather than towards a bank mortgage. John Carter, chairman of the Parcel B Board of Directors, opposed the rent stipulation, claiming “no bank in the world” would grant the Foundation a mortgage under those terms. The new lease contains, instead, a grace period that, according to Carter, will allow the Foundation to accumulate rent for a number of years before paying the State. Start again With the lease in hand, the Foundation, an organization of University alumni and area business leaders, can reopen negotiations with private developers that had fallen off when the lease complications arose. “We were in the process of talking with these people in March, April and May of 1976,” Carter explained. “We really have to start all over again. The advantage is that now we have a lease to work with.” Although the selected developer will construct the project and lease the store space to merchants, he will operate under a number of constraints. The state must approve all building plans to insure that the development conforms to the “architectural language” of the Amherst Campus. The UB Foundation will have final say in what type of stores are placed in the 75,000 square feet of mail space. An advisory committee of students, faculty and staff will be assembled to assist in the selection of merchants. Cartas was not optimistic about construction starting this fan. “We’ll be In a better position to judge that in about five Weeks,” he said, “bat It would be highly unlikely that well be in the ground this year." Carter added that ifground were broken in the spring, “our goal wpuld be to have as much operational by'the time school opens next fifl.” The hotel; in which several large chains have expressed interest, would take longer to construct, he noted. S . Must be pieUy Pared B is located west of Lake LaSalle, between Samuel Clemens Hall and the Ellicotf Complex. Completion of the shopping mall witt be an important step in the uphill climb towards making the half-completed campus into a self-contained unit. Unlike other area mails, the project will have to be visually appealing from all viewing angles. This will complicate design somewhat, and more importantly increase construction costs. Rental rates to merchants will thus be higher and prices for various goods will probably follow suit. “There have only been guesses," Carter said in reference to how high rental rates would be. “I don’t think it’ll be high enough to discourage area merchants.” The Foundation plans to include in any agreement with a developer, stipulations setting fninimum hours for merchants. This will be to make sure die project satisfies the particular needs of the campus community. “We don’t want someone closing at 5:00,” Carter observed. “What good would that do the campus?” ~ ' Greater interest Carter expects to have no trouble filling the retail space which is restricted by law to the 75,000 square feet figure. If all goes well, he >■ explained, die UB Foundation may realize some monetary gain from the Parcel B project. “There could be a profit in the project for us," he said. “But it will not be a great one. Any dollars made out of the pidfect will be donated to the University for University projects . , scholarships, loans, etc.” Carter pointed to a “high degree of interest” about Parcel B among the business community that has “intensified since the lease arrived.” - - The project literally has “something for everyone.” Students will not be forced to trek off campus for many goods and services. The University will not have to provide bus service to Boulevard Mall, and complaints about the Amherst Campus being “isolated” should ease. The UB Foundation, as mentioned, may profit. The State of New York will receive about $35,000 a year in rent. The Town of Amherst will be issued “payments in lieu of taxes” for the ten acres of land which currently generate no revenue. Area merchants stand to gain a strong foothold in a potentially huge, but as yet unexploited student market, and the local construction industry will receive a much needed $10 million boost. • Delia proposes amendments in two Sub Board by-laws by John H.

NYPIRG has repeatedly charged that the utility reaped windfall profits last winter as thermometers plunged and gas bills soared. Also, the company did not pay wages to thousands of employees that were on strike for 18 weeks. Other utility companies in the state voluntarily offered rebates to their customers following the record snapping winter. These factors, coupled with suspicions that NFG was “hiding” profits by juggling their books, led NYPIRG last May to petition the State’s Public Service Commission (PSC) to allow NYPIRG to examine the company’s financial records. Rate increase requested Monday’s announcement that the PSC was granting that request came as something of a shock. It was believed to .be-the first such permission granted to a non-governmental agency by the PSC. Ihe decision to allow the audit came on the heels of NFC’s recent filing for a 2.2 percent rate increase. According to a PSC spokesman, it is “in the context of the current rate filing’’ that the auditing decision was made. The company has received considerable criticism for awarding over $1 million in bonuses to administrative and clerical employees who worked overtime during the strike. Despite relentless pressure from NYPIRG, the City of Buffalo and the County of Erie, NFG has steadfastly refused to issue rebates, claiming its profits were not excessive but ra|her well below the rate allowed by the PSC. profits NYPIRG has accused the utility of paying extra taxes in fire spring months in order to show smaller profits, “ft’s a question of where they’re burying their money said the Regional Director of NYPIRG, Ken Sherman. Uncovering the alleged buried profits will be the aim of the statewide ” consumer group’s audit. NYPIRG has called for a $10 rebate per customer which would total S6.2 million, although “some groups are demanding more,” according to Sherman. Although the PSC does not have the actual power to order rebates, it does determine utility rates and set allowable profit margins. The 12.3 percent rate of return allowed NFG by the PSC is significantly higher than other utilities across the state. According to Sherman, the PSC hopes to encourage exploratory drilling investment by NFG by granting the higher profit margin. However, he feels the company has shown little or no interest in gas exploration on the Niagara Frontier. National Fuel Gas has remained largely silent throughout the debate, repeatedly declining comment on possible rebates. �Sub Board.

It is in Mr. Turner’s words, “our job to do ' • tw»-” j > Mr. Turner claimed we “cannot be murriimti expected to care about.” The Spectrum is inexorably . tied to the happenings of the local area. Unfortunately, we do not always have the manpower to transform these ties into print, but all things considered, we do the beat we can. To say that we are blind to the crises facing this community is sightless in itself. Yet, we will not apologize for gearing our coverage to the University climate.

The discussions involve representatives and counsels for the May 4 Coalition and for the Kent State Board of Trustees and Administration. Earlier this week, after a wire mesh fence had already been erected around the site and after bulldozers had already begun leveling land, the judge issued a restraining second temporary order, termed in the national press as a “stay,” to halt construction. Coalition representatives are seeking to halt all construction on the site, at least until the Department of the Interior in Washington determines whether the site should be declared a national landmark. One Federal Court spokesperson in Cleveland said, “The temporary restraining order halting construction is still' in effect. So fat there have been no any indications on further decisions.” Possible law suits Three specific issues are currently being negotiated before die judge. The first is a plea by the Board of Trustees to “vacate the temporary restraining order or to establish adequate bond.'’ Kent State University News Service Director Anthony May clarified these terms, explaining, “If they stop us from building, we want the plaintif (the Coalition) to post a bond to protect us against damages and possible law suits. The contractor could sue us for lost earnings and rising costs incurred in the delay.” May noted that the potential loss to the University dollars,” but one million emphasized that no specific. amount of money-$o be posted a| a bond was as yet being demanded y of the Coalition, because “the Federal Court in Cleveland should judge wants to arrange some have no jurisdiction over the case.

French nuclear advances The fact that several thousand from youths neighboring countries, who speak different languages and have in some cases very different cultural heritages, joined in Monday’s demonstration indicates that lines of communication are being established between opponents of nuclear energy in different Western European nations. Despite President Carter’s call for at least a temporary halt on international development breeder and the reactor use of plutonium, the French have made continual advances in their programs. Last month in Paris, they signed agreements with West Germany and other Common Market countries to continue research and development of the breeders and eventually market them abroad. The French government’s attraction to the breeder reactors is twofold: because they produce more fuel than they consume, the breeders would apparently reduce French dependence on uranium imports, and once built, would give France a substantial lead in the lucrative international market. The Super Phoenix breeder reactor has been a particular of nuclear target energy its because opponents funcdonability depends entirely upon the use of plutonium. They have argued that the plutonium can' also be used to manufacture nuclear bombs, that it is an if deadly poison extremely inhaled even in minute amounts and that there are no adequate safeguards to deal with a substance drat remains radioactive for thousands of years. Both the government majority and the leftist parties in France are faced with an important and pressing dilemma: how to garner the votes of the environmentalists and and-ttuclear forces in the legislative elections scheduled for next March.

The two Western European nations most advanced in their Britain and nuclear technology have faced die West Germany most pressure from nuclear opponents, both in the courts and in die streets. British officials have been virtually forced to agree to a public debate on the advisability of building a commercial breeder reactor.

Peace Center expressed its concern about the nature of the Naval Park now being built in downtown Buffalo in a letter to Judge Anthony LoRusso (see page 13 of this issue for the complete text of the letter). Claiming that U.S. strategic missiles alone carry the destructive force equal to about 1000 times the amount of explosives used against both Germany , and Japan during all of World War 11, Peace Center Coordinator, Walter Simpson, said “we are concerned that the Naval Park will have the effect of glorifying war and weapons of war. This, we believe, is entirely inappropriate especially in an age of thermonuclear weapons The Peace Center, while agreeing that economic development is important for Buffalo, objected to plans to bring in more weapons, including a polaris missile. The Center’s letter to LoRusso also stressed the importance of designing tire park museum to reflect the horrors of war and the need to avoid future wars. Simpson asked LoRusso; “Can’t we , - — memorialize the victims of war in such a way as to help prevent future wars ..' and future victims?” The Peace Center is interested in working with the Naval Park Committee to insure that thepjrk does not have the effect of promoting a military mentality, especially in children who may come with school groups to visit the warships. The Peace Center is interested in helping to design the park museum so that it’s message is one of peace and not war. The Center’s letter to LoRusso closed by inviting him and members of the Naval Park Committee to join Peace Center members at the site of the Naval Park, Tuesday, from 1-2 p.m. for a vigil commemorating the 32nd anniversary of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki, Japan. The purpose of the vigil will be “to remember the victims of WWIl’s atomic bombs and to call attention to the on-going arms race which threatens our lives and the lives of our children” For more information, call Walter Simpson at 833-0213 or 833-3175.

You might say that you’d bet the person who writes this column was once as apathetic as you are now you would be so right. Seven columns ago, I urged you to hike up to 355 Squire and thumb through back copies of The Spectrum. Well, although you have the feet for hiking and the thumbs for thumbing, you did neither. Had you done so, you would have some idea of what former Editor-in-Chief Rich Korin an meant when he discussed with me his image of this University as a “place of former greatness.” Rich Korman is like Merril Lynch when he talks, people listen. Well, I listened. And his thoughts crystallized the one elusive problem that haunts this University, and more strikingly, this office. The spector of what this University used to be looms over all of us. For a student journalist it is no less than tormenting. When the enormity of what occured here seven years back sinks into the often swelled head of a The Spectrum editor, he suddenly feels dwarfed in importance by his predecessors. It is a very disconcerting feeling to leaf through the old issues and come to the realization that nothing this paper could print now would even approach the impict of The Spectrum of 1969 and 1970. Our front page stories today would be their filler copy. There is a story, actually it’s kind of a folk tale, that floats around this office now and then. It is the type of yarn Out literally chilli the listener, no matter how many times it has been spun. It is about this columnist who was typing his column in 355 Norton. And, as he’s typing he begins to notice that tear gas is seeping into the office from fire first floor where on this night the cops were invading Norton HaU. As he realizes what’s occuring, -he types it into his column as it unfolds. Then he gets on the wire service machine and the news is sent to college newspapers, all over the nation. Then he get* out.

Beacon-Herald, the intelligent British actress Margaret Tyzack, while praising two of 'the directors with whom she is working this summer at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival (Robin Phillips and David Jones), declined to comment on Arif Hasnain, who is directing her in Ibsen's Ghosts. Having seen the production, it is easy for me to understand why. Hasnain provides no guidance at all for the actors, and they are left to flounder around on their pyvn, searching for a rhythm of interaction with one another. They fail to find one, and the first half of the play is a total loss. It is not until Nicholas Pennell's Osvald -assumes a dominant role halfway through that the production comes alive, and it is his extraordinary performance which rescues it. It is painful to watch excellent actors like Margaret Tyzack (Mrs. Alving) and William Hutt (Pastor Manders) isolated and exposed like this. They stand up there uttering words which never connect, lines that die as soon as they are spoken. And the blame for this lies almost pntirely, I think, with the lack of direction. Actors need the guidance a good director provides, the objective viewpoint which can perceive when something simply is not working, or is heading in the wrong direction. But the actors in the Stratford Ghosts do not get this kind of support. There is simply no pacing or control in this production. \ Tick-Dock r. f v-iA* a result, the characters remain self-contained caricatures. Hutt and Tyzaek never relate to one another. Instead of the rhythms of real human interaction, we have a kind of metronome of alternating speeches, in which each line is left on its own, and produces a response from the audience independent of its connection to plot or character. Because of the accumulation of these, Manders is reduced from a believable human being to a mere object of derision, a Victorian buffoon, a priggish figure of fun. And Mrs. Alving becomes little more than a smug straight-man or, rather, woman. Therefore, their relationship never makes any sense, end the first half of the play is nothing but an occasion for the ridicule of one character and the reticence of another. Margaret Tyzack is capable of .great emotional intensity, when the dramatic context is well defined (as in Robin Phillips' Richard HI or the BBC .3 production of Balzac's Cousin Bette). The trouble with her performance here (smug all the way through, then utterly crushed at the final revelation of Osvald's mental condition), where the dramatic context is poorly defined, is that it places too much weight on her ability to overwhelm us at the end. Oesfrite her considerable acting skills, she fails to do Pennell's best It is Nicholas Pennell, finally, who salvages something from the wreckage of Hasnain's production. This if his,finest performance to gate, even better than his first-rate Hamlet last year. Although generally a physically robust actor, he here controls and subdues his physical presence, and delivers a subtle and moving protrayal of the introspective, sickly, idealistic, and melancholy i psvald. i, •> About a third of the way into Act II, when the audience's laughter at Manders if finally petering out, the production hits an absolutely dead spot. Although the actors go on speaking, nothing is happening onstage. It becomes clear at this point that, apart from ridicule of Manders, nothing has been established no relationships, no momentum, no rhythm of action. Then Pennell begins to take over, and the play starts to move, laboriously at first, like a train starting from a dead stop. From this point on, the production gradually picks up momentum, and manages to be quite powerful at the end. But too much has been lost before Pennell can assert himself.

There are as many filmmaker "cults" as there are filmmakers, and all of them, Herzog's devotees being no exception, hope that one special film will bring their maven the attention (s)he deserves. For Bergman the film was The Seventh Seel for Fellini there were Nights of Cabiria La Dolce Vita, tnd Amarcord. In the tame way, Aguirre has ,, proven the Herzog fans ritfit It takes place on two levels. On one, it's a historical drama about a small party of Spanish conquistadores searching through the Jungles of 16th century Peru for the legendary El Dorado. Aguirre, second in command, murdered the leader, declared himself "the Wrath of God, Emperor of El Dorado," and ted his band to death at the hands of the t ”, Peruvian Indians. ; •*•>' . *' " y if r* -» History interpreted > > -f. tn Like the work of any good historian, Herzog's tale not only recounts history but interprets it the film's second level; Arsuperbly played by Klaus Kinski, Aguirre is the purest kind of megalomaniac, who laughs at the quest for the Seven Cities of Gold because all that matters is power. His "empire" is a stifling swamp, his men are falling prey to disease and poison darts. Still, he notes that his rule falls over an area six timet larger than Spain the base for,"the most perfect dynasty the world has ever known." He instates hjs dynasty by marrying his dead 15-year-old daughter. Aguirre is mad, but he, alone — n; mm ' *>■ - PARACHUTE . of all hit party, has survived. Stunningly filmed on location in South America, Aguirre is of great sensual effect it communicates the lushness and stifling heat of the jungles. And, in a way that may only be possible for one who lived in Hitler's Germany, Herzog cooly examines the binding ties between power and madness, from Aguirre's meditations on his "dynasty" to his hypnotic demagoguery. Aguirre is an experience of mingled beauty and terror, peace and turmoil, and it marks Wemer Herzog as a major film talent , ~ — -V-.-rt. Marcel Game's Children of Paradise, in the three decades since it making, has been acknowledged as one of cinema's truly singular masterpieces, but the film is still seldom shown outside of the major cinema pities. The UUAB Film Committee, in what promises to be the J highlight of its summer season, will be showing Children as the final film of the summer, on Thursday and Friday, August 25 and 26, in the Squire (Norton) Conference Theater. With the elegance and simplicity of a child's dream, it details the fantasy love between Jean-Louis Barrault, as a mime, and the unforgettable Arletty, in two of the most legendary of film performances. Beyond any disagreement Children of Paradise is a classic; every film fan should avail themselves of this rare opportunity to see one of the film world's most wonderous dreams. -Bill Maraschiello c $ On SHottcutfete Buffalo 8 Guys and Gab!

Nevertheless, manages to remain fairly distinctive, maintaining a of musical sophistication not usually associated punk rock. seems that quite a few follow-up singles were released during the past few weeks. One is Greg "C'est La Vie" (Atlantic) from ELP's Works "C'est La Vie" is essentially the child of You Turn Me On," which was the child of From The Beginning," which itself was a distant offspring of "Lucky Man." As one progresses farther farther from the original, the quality becomes increasingly diluted; "C'est La Vie" is boring, with arrangement far too simple and monotonous for song's length. It will probably meet vyidi as much commercial success as its predecessor, "Fanfare For Common Man." lot on the heels of "Da boo Ron R6n" comes a ingle by Shaun Cassidy, "That's Rock 'N' Roll" ;amer/Curb). Although it was written by Eric Carmen (a fairly respectable songwriter), Cassidy and roducer Michael Lloyd succeed in reducing it to a •ond rate Partridge Family or Archies song. If .'$ Rock 'N' Roll" is any indication, Cassidy's as a teenie-bop idol are already numbered.

Susie Allanson is definitely one of the latter, but her single, "Baby, Don't Keep Me Hangin' On" (Warner Bros.), is surprisingly good. Allanson is the almost perfect hybrid of Ronnie Spector and Olivia Newton-John. > ' ' ' ' ' / " ing prevent . . r record him.

Albert's pinched-note guitar style is the base of Otis' playing here and the horn arrangements recall the lata sixties Stax recordings of Albert. driving, Influences aside, this is a marvelous album and Otis is fluid and inventive guitarist than Albert. His instrumental feature "Easy Go" is a masterful demonstration of his powerful attack. Otis' agonized singing is welt featured on the slow title track and the minor key blues "Your Turn to Cry.” The closing tune 'Take A Look Behind" combines great lyrics, vocal and guitar. Seeing how many of Otis' tunes like "I Can't Quit You Baby," "Double Trouble," and "All Your Love" have been done by the likes of. Butterfield, May ail, Clapton and Led Zeppelin, this tune wilt also probably be popularized in a few years. 'Tore Up" and Albert King's "Natural Harry Nilsson.

This single could possibly pass for something by the Ronnettes. but the rough edges are tampered by a Newton-John style arrangement. For a little known artist who is probably a newcomer, this is a good record. Roy Buchanan is definitely no. newcomer to the music world. He has. however, gained only moderate recognition, but his audience may start to grow because of his new tingle, "Green Onions" (Atlantic). It is a remake of dte old Booker T and the MG's tune tailored for the seventies, featuring some very good organ and guitar work against the characteristic four chord backbone. Firefall has released a new single called "Just Remember I Love You" (Atlantic). Although it sounds like a combination of the Eagles and America, it is nice to listen to for its full harmonies and melody line. It certainly is a groat improvement over "You Are The Woman." Burton Cummings' latest release is a double sided single, "Timeless Love"/"Never Had A Lady Before" (Portrait). Of these two, "Never Had A Lady Before" will probably be the more successful. It is purely a rock song, on the order of "American Woman," but it fits in with the late seventies because of its disco beat, much like Aerosmith's "Walk This Way." Listeners who had given up on Cummings when he recorded the MOR "Stand Tall" will be pleasantly surprised by this one. Another rock single is Mr. Big's "Feel Like Calling Home" (Arista). Unfortunately, it is not even one tenth as successful as Cummings' effort. The refrain (which is also the title) is repeated, ad nauseam, the lead singer seems to be suffering from a terminal case of laryngitis and the arrangement is so uninteresting that it emphasizes, rather than conceals, all of the song’s defects. Clive Davis, who normally shpws good taste in choosing bands for his label, redfly made a mistake in signing Mr. Big. Minnie Riperton's new single, "Wouldn't Matter Where You Are" (Epic) is a pleasant bit of innocuous disco fluff. It is fine for light listening, but one gets the feeling that Riperton's vocal talents are being wasted by producer-arranger -Freddie Perren. Last, but not least, is a single by master songwriter Jimmy Webb, "If You See Me Getting Smaller I'm Leaving" (Atlantic). Webb possesses a surprisingly good voice, sounding a bit like James Taylor and the acoustic arrangements of George Martin complement it perfectly. The peculiar and strangely chilling, particularly a line from the refrain: "I've got a right to disappear." —Eugene Zielinski * , RECORDS the typical English murder mystery is dramatized as "Who Dqpe It?" proceeds. Nilsson, the frustrated director, is the persona of the murderer of twelve on a dark and stormy night. (Maybe Snoopy should be writing this essay.) He is insane and claims he did not do it. Who done it? Not all buy the alibi. Not prevalent on the Nilsson co-produced Knnillsson is the use of strings to create mood. A large number of songs are slow, orchestrated pieces, albeit insightful and whimsical. More than any album, Knillsson, is Nilsson's personal invention. Not Harrison, Starr, Perry or Frampton add to the album; nothing suffers or is lost. The effect of the orchestral arrangement requires this only solo performance, lest overproduction detract from the when concept. Throughout, "Laughin' Man" the listener, if human, a groping fool on a hill, is told how to cope: “If trouble tries to trouble in And tries to shake its ratde in The laughin' man begins to grin And when the devil tries to creep Into his dreams and tries to sleep The laughin’ man a dream away A slack, a slack a day." By showing man's imperfections to all, by reacting to their sound, Nilsson wins. He says, "Bye folks; see you in lawful satiric dreams of morning wet dew."

It's chaotic semblance of stability lends itself to a format of flighty musical permutations, much along the Ijnes of that Crimson institution of techno-rock. Their previous message Relayer betrayed youthful enthusiasts as the result of Wakeman's iconoclash with other mainstay members; a split that prompted the importation of Refugee Patrick Nora* and his space whoosh delicacies. (The triple live set Yetsongs previously sent minor shock waves to rock epicenters when the tuned percussion of Bill Fruford was replaced by the reformed 0no-plasticity of Alan White.) £ But through it all. Yes survives. With their latest overdue release, we find Yes has altered its form once again; this time revealing a resurrected line-up from the days of the oceanic tales. With Wakemao once more, the group is Going For The One (and with their temporary membership don't discount the alarming propheticness of this tide). The introductory title song, "Going For The One" reintroduces the listener to the first chasing sounds of a group product in over two years, while the wares with Wakaman date back nearly four. Guitarist Steve Howe delimits on steel guitar as he strings along with the expressionist bass work of Chris Squire on this Anderson composition. Wakeman's moog meandering* are also extremely titfit, considerably more inspired than his previous solo storytelling. But for this selection, the attention is focused upon Jon Anderson's snap singing of his delightfully obscure lyrics. Much of the magic of Yes lies in the interpretation of their messages.

"Turn Of The Century" showcases an expansion of Howe's classical Themes, much like those exhibited on his solo jaunt. Beginnings. The lyrical power supplied by Anderson this time is somewhat more direct, telling the forgotten tale of artistic depression. The lengthy, introspective piece is entitled "Awaken" and comes across as a two-phase religious realization by Anderson and Howe, glancing bade with Close To The Edge attitude yet it totally avoids the same's dream-like stance.

Prodigal Sun �Militarism Guest Opinion of Buffalo Editor’s Note: The following it an open letter by the Peace Center, on the developing of Buffalo Naval Park, sent to City Court Judge Anthony LoRusso and other public officials. Judge LoRutso is Chairman of the Committee for the Naval and Serviceman‘s Park and Museum. Buffalo Dear Judge LoRusso. The Peace Center objects to the militarization of Buffalo which may result if current plans for the Naval Park are carried out. As you know from our previous conversations, we are cohcemcd that the Naval Park will have the effect (whether intended or not) of glorifying war and weapons of war; this, we believe is entirely inappropriate especially in an age of thermonuclear weapons where the next world war could devastate the entire planet. Right now, in the nuclear arsenals of the superpowers there is literally the equivalent explosive power of tons of TNT for every man, woman, and child on the face of the earth. Our strategic missile force alone has as much destructive power as 150,000 Hiroshima atomic bombs, or nearly 1000 World War Us (based on the -explosive power used against the Germans and the Japanese in WWII). As the arms race continues, these weapons hold us all hostage. The future of the human race is itself in question. To paraphrase Albert Einstein, we need an entirely new way of thinking if we are to survive this nuclear age. The Naval Park may have the unfortunate effect of reinforcing old ways of thinking about the usefulness of war. In our view the Naval Park would be less objectionable if the Polaris missile (and other additional - - by Charles Haynie weapons) were not permitted on the site — and the museum memorialized the war dead by stressing the horrors of war and by explaining why it is imperative that another world war be avoided. (The Peace Center is interested in assisting in the design of such a display.) We too support economic development for the City of Buffalo. However, we question the desirability of the Naval Park, especially in the form that it seems to be taking. Can’t we make Buffalo ... Walter Simpson Peace Center Coordinator P.S. On August 9, the 32nd anniversary of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki, Japan, we intend to hold a vigil at the Naval Park site. The purpose of the vigil will be to remember the victims of WWW’s atomic bombs and to call attention fo the on-going arms race which threatens our lives and the lives ofour children. You and other members of the Naval Park Committee are invited to join us. We will be there from 1-2 p.m. Copies to Rep. Henry Nowak, Buffalo Mayoral candidates, Mayor Stanley Makowski, and the press. The remaining summer programs of the Student Association’s (SA) Office of Student Activities will be two excursions to Artpark.

I am writing in response to the letter appearing in The Spectrum (7/22/77) concerning counseling services at U.B. While not wishing to comment directly on the circumstances of Ms. Leggin’s apparent frustration with University Counseling Services, I would like to point out that Sunshine House’s service may well be of help to those experiencing the same plight as Ms. 4 Leggin. Sunshine House is aware that many counseling services in Buffalo have waiting lists, usually due to over-burdened case loads. Because of this. Sunshine - House offers immediate service, on a walK-in basis or via telephone. It may be that some individuals require longer-term counseling than Sunshine House can offer; however, in the case where they are placed on a waiting list, I am confident that Sunshine House can be of help in alleviating much of the emotional stress during that waiting period. We may also be in a position to refer such an individual to a counseling service without a waiting period. I hope you may be in the position to draw this service to the attention of your readers. Andrew J. O’Brien , Project Head Students worthy of help To the Editor. The Spectrum, of Friday, July 22, printed a letter to the Editor which pointed out some real problems the University Counseling Service is experiencing as well as the effect on our ability to provide service to students. We are shorthanded due to budget cuts and it has become increasingly more difficult to see students as promptly as we have in the past. Beyond this, every effort is made to provide some form of relevant service to students, including the use of our “Drop-In” facility at 67S Harriman Library where students can and do receive counseling, sometimes as a temporary measure while waiting for assignment to a counselor, and sometimes as the student’s preferred mode of receiving help. “ on those campuses. 4 But it wasn’t until the four were murdered at Kent State in the late Spring of 1970, that the nation rose up in honor at what had bear taking place all along. I remember being here at this Unirererty which I thought had spent itself out wife *j>roknged * ' ,. - Let the sun shine To the Editor: A week ago I stood atop a hill on the campus ofKent State Uniyeriity in Ohio, on the some spot where Ohio National only their own Guardsmen no newspaper articles for them understanding of crowd of students protesting the Indochinese War. That was in 1970. As I stood there seven years later,* die feeling was still overwhelming. I shuddered. I remained transfixed; I felt I couldn’t move from that spot. I didn’t want to talk to any of the others of the small group from Buffalo who came to Kent State to join the "May 4th Coalition" in trying to preserve this historic site, the University’s best possible public relations, by presenting new far is Peter Davies, The Truth About Kent State, which features photographs that put the lie to the dams of Guardsmen that they were in mortal danger. It has upset me a great deal to re-read these books and once again search these photographs for the truth. I would tike to believe that the Guard fired in self-defense. For if they didn’t fire in self-defense, (which is what the FBI report says) then I am in mortal danger and so are all students, protestors and strikers or anyone else who wants to demonstrate in public their opposition to war, racism, sexism, class oppression or anything else they do not like. I thought I had become immune to these feelings of deep resentment, anger, fear, almost terror, that come over me when I plunge once again into the records of events like the Kent State killings. I was stuck with horror, back in the early 1960’s, when one by one Civil Rights workers were killed on the South’s dusty back roads trying to encourage black sharecroppers to register to vote. In 1963, black children were bombed to death while in Sundajr School. A year later, while 1 was wandering the back roads in the Mississippi Delta, three of our fellow civil rights workers, Goodman, Chaney and Schwemer, were murdered by a conspiring mob which included the police. In fact, scores of people were murdered all across the South. Later on, members of the Black Panther Party were systematically murdered by police plots. What happened at Kent State happened repeatedly at Southern Black Colleges in the late 1960’s; massacre after massacre of protestors - attractive without selling people on war as a means of resolving international disputes? Can’t we fascinate tourists with non-violent, ecologically sound windmills instead of with a collection of instruments of mass destruction? Can’t we memorialize the victims of war in such a way as to help prevent future wars ... and future victims? We hope that you will share our letter with the members of your committee. Please inform us about when the Naval Park Committee meets and who we should contact concerning our ideas about the design and purpose of the museum. profiles by Helen Swede £4 Publicity Chairperson Coordinator, Tolttoy Cottage (F) All students are worthy of help; we sec many different students with all kinds of problems, so much so, that approximately twenty-five percent of all students make use of the University Counseling Service in the course of their academic careers. 1 cite this figure to encourage these people to seek counseling who would otherwise decline getting help with a problem for fear of social stigma. For the student who, unfortunately had to wait an untypically long time for an intake, my apologies for the delay. However, the use of the “Drop-In” Center is not based on a catch-as-catch can basis and counselors are available on an ongoing basis there despite staff cutbacks or vacations. ' massed ih £ven broader protest after the Cambodia invasion and Kent State murders in May 1970. We marched put into Main Street, some 3-4000 from U.B., the police clearing the streets of traffic and not even presuming to interfere. We were joined by large numbers of students from Canisius College (would you believe) and MadeiUe College, Buffalo State, and other campuses. We marched down Main Street, protesting the killings at Kent State, the Cambodian invasion, and the war in general, down to Niagara Squire where some 6000 or more students and others assembled. It showed me that people were not willing to allow the forces of the Government to use murder to put down legal protests. I believe today that the post-Kent protests which involved approximately one half of aD the campuses in America, and over a half million students from put on the streets, had a significant affect on the authoritarian ambitions of the Nixon Administration. I urge anyone reading this to take some time and regd the reports, the books, the accounts of what appears to me to have been a conspiracy to murder at Kent State back in 1970 by Company G of the Ohio Guard. See for yourselves. And recognize the implications for yourselves: if you are a working person, and someday may go out on Strike, must you, too, fear being diot down dead on the streets by angry Guardsmen as has happened in the past American history at Haymarket Square, 1886, Holestead Strike, and so on? If you are black, and may protest racist violence, must you too expect to be shot dead, as has happened to so many Mack people in our terror ridden history? If you are opposed to the construction of nuclear energy plants, or opposed to the various plots and schemes of the wealthy and powerful to make money at the egpcpse of the environment, might you, too, be shot dead in the streets, as is now beginning to happen? If you are female and may someday take to the streets to protest sexism by sexist judges as is going on today in Madison or Los Angeles, might you too be pierced by a bullet of the National Guard or Police? If you And yourself described above, or can see yourself taking to the streets to protest something, and wish to prevent your possible execution by the death squads of the powerful in this country, then you might be compelled in self-defense, as I have been, to give support to those at Kent State today who are reminding us once again of the injustices that took place there seven years ago injustices that have yet to be- remedied.

The Spectrum Page thirteen . �W 3ft > ..>« - •*$* ■■ - ■—■■' — % ' x *f~ O'-iWW ¥ Guest Opinioil by R. Nagarajan President, GSA Through its front page article and an editorial concerning Sub Board, The Spectrum (July 29, 1977) has created the impression that (1) the problem stems flrom the fact that SA allocates more than 90% of Sub Board’s funds while receiving only five of the 12 votes in Sub Board's Board of Directors and, (2) the situation is made more acute by the reduction in allocations from the five other participating student governments affecting the ability of Sub Board to organize student activities and provide student services as much as before. The views that are contained within the above statements are partial and do not lead to a full appreciation of the problem. It is my view that adequate factual information should be presented before the student body so that they can form their own views arid direct their student governments to act according to the same. The present constitution of Sub Board’s Board of Directors is based on the number of students represented by each of the student governments. This certainly is an anachronism if seen in the context of financial participation of the student governments. Allocations of Student Governments to Sub Board in $ 76-77 77-78 295,000 35,000 12J00 2.450 Lew. Med. 323,900 25,000 5,000 2,450 . A Dent. , However to my knowledge this has rarely affected the nature of decisions made by Sub Board concerning stud*rii activities and student services, SA has always had a practical mqority due to think is the main problem and 1 believe that this influences both directly and indirectly the nature of participatifbh by different student governments. If changes can be introduced in the functioning of the Sub Board to reduce significantly the administrative and disbursar fee expenditures and correspondingly increase the expenditure on student activities and student services, then all the student governments can be expected to make more adequate financial commitments. Of course there will always remain differences in this commitment between' different student governments because there are and there will be definite and significant variations in the use of Sub Board facilities by different student populations, as a recent survey confirms. Now i would like to explain the “reduction” in GSA’s contribution to Sub Board. Looking at GSA budgets of the last few years it becomes obvious that there is no significant change in the proportion of GSA’s total budget committed for Sub Board. It indicates that there is no altitudinal change in GSA this year towards Sub Board in spite of our dissatisfaction with its functioning particularly in .terms qf its efficiency in handling GSA accounts and the cost for 'the same in the form of the ever increasing disbursar fees (from $2000 in 74-75 to 16000hi 77-78X A major part of GSA’s budget (made up of a student activity‘fee of only $9.50 per semester) is directly returned to the students thro' their clubs, Sub Board facilities, GRAD Research Council, special activities and programs sponsored by GSA etc. The operating expenses and the secretarial expenses serve to provide the indirect services to graduate students at large, in terms of representing their interests at all levels of the University administration, keeping students Informed of issues of concern thru a variety of means, serving as a referral center fur any needs, etc. We are attempting to make more visible these indirect services to that graduate students can better appreciate the role of the GSA and the need for its existence and consequently begin to participate more actively in it making GSA a viable representative of their interests, To summarize. 1 see the fundamental problem to be the present status of Sub Board’s functioning and not the absence of control by SA over Sub Board. And GSA’s ‘’reduced” contribution reflects the continuity of GSA’s support to Sub Board and not an attHudinal change towards it. If at all anything has changed, it is only that GSA is no more a silent and indifferent spectator of Sub Board but a conscious and active participant within it. To deal with the problems reflected in the present uncertainty over Sub Board’s continued existence, the GSA Executive Committee has made the following recommendations; a) Sub Board retain its present form of Board of * * '•* ( 3H Paget fourteen The Spectrum Friday, 5 August 1977 . On the evening of J uly 12 1 became suddenly ill while attending a class in the Millard Fillmore Academic Center of the Ellicott Complex. I called the University Police and two officers were sent to me. Their arrival was unnecessarily delayed, however, by a locked interior door to which they did not have a key. It was several minutes until they found another way up to me. 1 was lucky this time; I had a dime with me and I happened to know the phone number of the University Police (1 did not actually become ill until after 1 had left the classroom and then I knew the quickest course of action was to call security myself.) Also, although it was difficult, I could breathe. If 1 had been worse that delay could have been fatal. All interior doors, in Ellicott as well as in other buildings, should have master, locks and all on-duty security officers should carry master keys with them. Every part of every building should be easily accessible to them at ajl times. Further, there ought to be several on-campus phones in each building. Such phones should not require a coin to make a call and the number of the campus police should be clearly posted by each. At the very least an alarm system should foe installed which would notify the Campus Police in case of an emergency. I demand that action be taken in this matter for the protection of everyone in the University community. Mary Mischler — inactive participation of the other student govenunehts, and if SA’s hands have remained tied in the past, it is so due to different reasons. In my opinion this question is not the main question as The Spectrum makes us believe. However. I see no rationale for an anachronism to continue. On the question of reduced financial commitments of student governments, only SA, GSA and MFCSA are the main contributors to Sub Board, and the latter two have made reductions in their contribution. What is significant to be noted is that the total allocation to Sub Board for ’77-78 is more than that of the. current year. Yet, die total money allocated in Sub Board’s budget proposals for student activities and student services has declined, while the administrative expenditure and the disbursar fees have steeply risen.

Dick spent a lot of time preparing programs for the fans at UB sporting events, and even more time preparing press brochures. In fact, in one such brochure a couple of years ago, Dick wrote the team’s preview and signed someone else’s name to it. And if you compare his programs and brochures to those of Canisius or Buffalo State, Dick’s are by far the best. His duties often necessitated that he work more than just nine-to-five daily. He usually attended all of Buffalo’s home hockey, basketball and baseball games, as well as wrestling and soccer. And many times he stayed home on Saturday nights to receive a call from one of Buffalo’s teams playing on the road, so he could relay the score to the local media. He also found time to coach in the Amherst Hockey Association, and his three sons, Bob, Tom and Jim all played hockey for him., i Dick was very well respected by his peers. Cy Kritzer, long-time CourierExpress sportswriter, described him as “a writer, equally fluent before a radio or TV mike; a researcher, statistician, archivist, counsellor, promoter and producer." Dan Hurley, former SID at Caniaus, also thought very highly of Dick. /‘Dick Baldwin is always ready to give, of his experience and his information to any one of us [other SID’s] in Western New York,” ,Hurlcy said. “I think if we took > vote among us it would be that Dick is No. 1 in our upstate area. I know I could not have got by our first football season without him.” If you attended many UB sporting events last year, you might have seen him walking along the 'Sidelines or sitting in the stands. He usually can be spotted with a pipe in his hand or by the little cap he wears (to cover a small bald spot). He has a dry sense of humor and a calm disposition that is until someone attacks UB. And he is one of the Bulls’ 'biggest fans. Dick’s new position represents a promotion for one that he asked for. I wish him well, and at him the same time, I can’t help feeling sorry for whoever his successor will be, because Dick Baldwin will be a tough act to follow. ROOM WANTED, September.

Rein Managing Editor The spector of the total reorganization of the student corporation, Sub Board, loomed large this week as Board members failed completely to hammer out a budget agreement at two meetings this week, i 1 Discussion at both meetings was tabled early in the procedures at the request of Student Association (SA) President Dennis Delia due to his assertion that it was impossible for SA to participate in the hearings until all student governments submit “letters of intent to participate financially in the operations of the corporation.” Most notably, Millard Fillmore College Student Association (MFCSA) was unable, due to internal problems, to submit a firm proposal. The SA Executive Committee, headed by Delia, felt the apparent reorganization of Sub Board to be both necessary and inevitable. The problem stems from the fact that SA allocates more than 90 percent of Sub Board’s funds, while receiving only five of twelve votes on Sub Board’s Board of Directors. Making the situation more acute is the reduction in allocations from the five other participating student governments. Severe eductions Last year. SA submitted $295,000 to Sub Board while this year it is preparing to spend $323,000. However, at the same time -the five other student governments are severely reducing their allotments to the corporation. The activities,” Delia said. “On the contrary, the whole idea is to improve them. This never would have come about if the Graduate Student Association (GSA) is cutting its contribution from 540,000 to $25,000 and MFCSA President Judi Jones claimed her government will cut its allocation from $13,141 to approximately SS000. Delia is particularly upset that undergraduate students at this University are spending- $323,000 of the total $354,000 to finance activities and programs in which hit students participate. “This is asking 14,000 students to provide activities and services for 27,000 students,” Delia said at Monday’s meeting. “1 just can’t accept that.” Cost reduction The reorganization of Sub Board would take place in the following manner. SA would simply refuse to fund its portion of the budget, effectively terminating the corporation and then reform Sub Board, becoming its. sole sponsor. In this manner, Delia claimed, SA could incorporate the management portion of Sub Board into its own operation, reducing that cost by an estimated $77,000. This would more than offset the loss of $31,000 from the five student governments. Sub Board, however, would continue to be the recognized dispersing agent of student governments. The “new” Sub Board would then become a student corporation tun for undergraduates. Ajf activities it funded would be made available only to undergraduate students. This would mean, for example, that graduate students would be prohibited from attending University Union Activities Board (UtlAB) functions. “We have absolutely no intention of endangering the other governments hadn’t reconsidered their positions.” No services Jones claimed that MFCSA, representing this University’s night students, reduced its allocation by more than 60 percent because “no services are being provided to us by Sub Board. The Bookstore is closed at 5 p.m.. Health Care at 4:30 p.m. and Admissions and Records (A&R) at 6:30 p.m. We can’t even get The Spectrum at night. By nighttime, services have been curtailed.” Jones explained that MFCSA didn’t withdraw its allotment altogether because she felt there existed a possibility that “we can make Sub Board work.” When asked, however, why, if MFCSA felt it could help make Sub Board work, it had so drastically reduced its allocation, Jones hedged, saying only that it planned to use the remaining money for other programs. Vice President for External Affaire of the GSA, Michael Sartisky, explained that his organization’s reasons for limiting its allocations were two-fold. “The reductions," he said, “are based on a decrease in our own revenues by 25 percent and also on an interpretation of the scfvices provided by Sub Board. GSA feels that services related to graduate students were neglected.” like Jones, Sartisky stated the money not given to Sub Board would be spent on other services “we fed will affect grads more in the long run.” . - _ �mmW xpress responds to commentary 9 TOW*. ■> Editor's note: The following is a response to a Commentary written by Special Features Editor Jay Rosen about the coverage of the proposed Buffalo hospital merger by the Courier-Express.

There was another study made in Children’s Hospital and Meyer Memorial has been open, 1966 about where the new UB campus should be clean and forthright on all fronts.

But the issue of the merger is not a matter of emotions and tradition. It is a matter of vital dollars apd cents to this community. In soiree cases, merger will double the per diem cost, of, hospital: care to individuals and force sky-rocketing health insurance premiums on major industrial employers who are almost annually reviewing the wisdom of reamining in ' Buffalo. •‘■ There are some■ who * believe that the county hospital should not open at all, or that efforts should be made to persuade the state or federal government to purchase it for some large institutional use. If it opens, merged or not, it will force more tax burdens on hard-pressed job providers (whose profits are taxed to support state facilities, such as UB). We think it makes sense for UB and its administration-related organs of communication to do all it can to get what it can from such eminent institutions as Buffalo General and Children’s Hospital. What is good for UB is good for The Spectrum, 1 suppose. And why hot? Your readership, constituted as it is, cannot be expected to care as much as the “townies” or the natives about what happens to pediatric health care in the central city, cannot be asked to worry about Main Street and Elmwood Avenue businessmen, or what happens to the families whose breadwinners are employed in the urban core at such hospitals as General, Deaconess, Lafayette General or Columbus... although your own social studies faculty will tell you that they will not travel far from their neighborhoods for new unskilled jobs. However, to say that we have no business demanding to know all that we can about ail the issues that surround this study, its organization, its biases, its financing, its focusing, and that we should not sound out every single element of the community for a viewpoint, and prominently display those viewpoints, and for you to say that we should not take a vigorous position insisting that public hearings be held into every facet of this thing, all of which you have said, is plain silly. It’s our job to do this. You would have done the same in the days qf The Spectrum Editor Jo-Ann Armao (now on our staff), or The Spectrum Editor Larry Kraftowitz (now with Jack Anderson). The fact that you feel as comfy tut-tuting our community concerns confirms our belief that the University would become isolated once its northward move were begun as a result of that famous, unbiased 1966-67 study about the siting issue. w ' •• ■' Handicap help Instructor or Research Assistant Professor to participate in recent Ph.D. with a strong background in biochemistry fpply. 1,000-y 6,000/year, depending on qualifications.

Kevin Seitz, assistant to Faculty Student Association (FSA) President ten Snyder, will be Moore’s successor as Acting Director of the Bookstore. Although Seitz foresees no major organizational changes, both he and Moore agreed the shift in management will open the possibility for needed fresh ideas. For Seitz, the upcoming year will necessarily be one of learning; a year during which he claimed he will try to maintain and improve the quality of service recently offered in the Bookstore. He felt his past experiences as night manager of the Squire Bookstore and as manager of the Gllicott Bookstore will serve him well. In the Mack Leaving behind what he believed to be an excellent staff, Moore felt assured the transition would continue smoothly. Beginning his tenure at a time when he said the store was “frankly disorganized” and operating in debt, Moore claimed his major accomplishments have been in delegating responsibility in such a way that the people working under him had a chance to prove their capabilities. He added they developed the store to the point where it is now operating in the black. Under Seitz’s leadership, Moore believed this trend will be maintained. The difficulties that have arisen in the past and may cause problems in the future, Moore said, are due ta the de-localized nature of the bookstore and a general lack of space. “We must plan from year to year, Seitz claimed, “since there is no permahent facility at Amherst and there are no plans for one as of yet.” This year, the Bookstore will operate out of Squire Hall, the Eliicott Complex, and a makeshift store in the basement of Baldy Hall, where the cafeteria used to be. In order to compensate for what Moore called “the poor physical layout of the store,” and the resulting hardships on students, plans have been made for increased night hours on Monday and Thursday. The store will also be open for four hours on Saturday with check cashing service. Selective enforcement? by Richard Chon Spectrum Staff Writer A case currently before the U.S. Supreme Court could conceivably change the course of professional educatton in the United States. Bakke vs. The Regents of the University of California is now being weighed and its decision may strike down the long standing efforts of the dvU rights movement involving “Affirmative Action,” the policy of establishing quotas for minority students in medical, law and other professional schools. The case began in 1972, when Allan Bakke, a 32 year old engineer from Palo Alto, California, applied to medical school. He was accepted by none of the ten to which he applied, though he was placed on the waiting list at the medical school of the University of California at Davis. In the summer of 1974, Bakke filed a lawsuit against the University of California, stating that he was a victim of “reverse discrimination,” and that. the policy of Affirmative Action was unconstitutional. The Supreme Court of California voted 6-1 against the University, stating that “to uphold the University would represent a retreat in the struggle to assure that each man and woman shall -be judged on a basis of individual effort alone.” ■ The case is now before the U.S. Supreme Court, and its outcome will have a definite impact on many colleges and universities across tile nation, including this University. Officials here are convinced of the effectiveness of Affirmative Action, and firmly believe the policy is achieving some success. Rudolph M. Williams, Assistant Dean of the Medical School here and the President of the National Association of Medical Minority Educators, reinforced this belief last week. “At this school, the competitiveness of minority students has been quite good,” he said. “Back in the mid-sixties, there had been no push for minority students, and perhaps then the University was not sensitive to their needs. There was an unconscious discrimination. The admissions board was making an active effort to secure the best qualified students to go to medical school.” “I don’t think that they were looking at the total health care needs of the country and the area that we live in. and the personnel that could deal with them.” Affirmative Action was enacted in the late 1960’s, as a result of Civil Rights legislation passed by the Johnson Administration. It reached its peak at the medical school here in 1974-75, when minority enrollment reached 10 per cent. It has tapered off recently, however, much to the dismay of some medical school officials. Still, SUNY at Buffalo ranks among the nationwide leaders in terms of minority enrollment. Williams was outspoken about the possible consequences of the Bakke case. “My only question,” he said, “is how do you expect the caboose to ever catch up with the engine without some special help? I mean, as long as we keep the same pace that we’ve kept in recent years, some people will never catch up. So unless we speed up the caboose and give the minority folks something extra, they will never catch up. There will always be second class citizenship for minorities.” Williams was optimistic about Affirmative Action’s future, and offered some observations. “I think Affirmative Action can work, in terms of admissions of students into medical school. 1 think we’re doing a fairly good job right now. But the one thing that we must always be cognizant of and vigilant of, is that we do not lose sight of our commitment in view of such things as reverse discrimination, as illustrated in the Bakke case.” As things look now, though. Affirmative Action has a poor chance of survival. Although if is believed by many observers that diversity on college campuses is desireable, some feel that achieving that diversity through a quota system is not. The academic world has been violently split between two opposing viewpoints, some holding fast to the belief that Affirmative Action is necessary to achieve racial diversity, others maintaining that it is merely a revenge seeking device against white males. The answer will prove difficult to come by, and the alternatives ' ,> NYCL V defends Inconclusive petitioner's rigfits Views on homosexuals polled by Nevan Baldwin Staff Writer Spectrum Buffalo City Court Judge H. Buswell Roberts has reserved decision the case of Rev. Kenneth Sherman, co-chairman of a local taxpayers’ in coalition, and Regional Director of the campus-based New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG). Sherman is charged with trespass for circulating a petition in the arcade area of East Buffalo’s Broadway Market, June 18. The petition called for abolition of the five councilman-at-large positions in the city of Buffalo. Sherman’s organization, “The Taxpayers” estimates a saving to the city of about $250,000 per year if the positions are abolished. According to Sherman, his arrest came after he was asked to leave the market by manager Andrew Meany. He refused to leave when Meany could not cite a rigid policy concerning political activity in the arcade. Meany, himself the son of a former councilman, had Sherman arrested at the same time other groups such as The Jehovahs Witnesses were soliciting support in the arcade area. Selective enforcement Earlier on the same day, Buffalo mayoral candidate Leslie G. Faschio and councilman-at-large Richard Okoniewski, whose job the petition seeks to eliminate, had been campaigning in the same area as Sherman’s arrest, shaking hands and filming campaign spots. The New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU), which has taken the defense of Sherman, feels his rights have been violated through up selective enforcement of the law. The NYCLU that Judge Roberts subpoena Foschio and Buffalo Mayor Stanley Makowski as witnesses Faschio, according to Sherman, “managed to avoid being served the subpoena” and did not testify at the trial. Makowski was served his subpoena and appeared in court. He acknowledged, under defense questioning, that the Broadway Market is a known center for political activity and has been for the past 20 years. Makowski admitted that he has campaigned there numerous times. Civil Liberties Union attorney David Gerald Jay, who is representing Sherman, stated that although a decision is still pending, he expects the outcome to be favorable. Sherman also predicts a favorable decision and, as a show of his confidence in justice, he has twice refused offers by Meany to drop charges and publicly apologize. The results of a recently released Gallup poll show that while a majority of the American public supports job rights for homosexuals, only half believe homosexual behavior should be legalized. uncertain. groups. As Michael Kagay, polling consultant to the New York Times noted, we as people can accept The abstract idea of equal rights for homosexuals, but we hesitate to legally sanction their behavior. Taken in June after voters in Dade County, Florida repealed an ordinance that guaranteed job rights to homosexuals, 1,513 adults responded to the survey. The issue of homosexual rights has gained national prominence since the Florida vote and as a result many homosexual rights groups are now vowing to political stronger undertake lobbying. Although 56 percent of the respondents to the Gallup poll expressed the belief that homosexuals should have equal job rights, few showed support for homosexuals holding positions in the clergy and elementary schools. The polls also reflected the dose relationship that exists between one’s religious beliefs and his her of perception or homosexuality. Of the 53 percent of the respondents WlvP expressed the belief that a person’s sexual preference would not hinder his religious development, nearly all also showed great support for the of homosexuals. At the same time, only a third of the 33 percent of public the who viewed as a religious homosexuality hindrance, supported equal job employment rights Despite 'Vmp rights. < i\i opinion. Regarding suggestive of the prevalent attitudes of Americans towards members of non-conformist opposition, AND WITH WYSUWPhD When asked whether homosexual relations between dr consenting adults should should not be legal, the survey found the public to be split, 43 percent voicing both approving and disapproving views. The remaining 14 percent offered no the proposal that homosexuals be allowed to adopt children, an overwhelming 77 percent disapproved of the idea while 14 percent agreed and 9 percent expressed no opinion. The answers of men and women varied little on any of the questions according to the survey. To some, the results are such however, the leaders of many rights groups homosexual throughout the country feel that most homosexuals are living more openly now than five or ten years ago. A few public officials in such cities as New York, San Francisco, Minneapolis and Atlanta have openly announced their homosexuality and while such, Mormon dominated states as Utah and Idaho remain violently anti-homosexual, inroads are being made. As the Gallup poll also found, 66 percent of those surveyed believed homosexuality to be more prevalent today than 2S years ago.

Ten days earlier, 194 people had been dragged off the hill and peacefully arrested after a 62 day protest against University plans to build a gymnasium annex on the grassy slope. Last Friday, police played a passive role, merely observing the hundreds of protestors who swarmed the site. No arrests were made. y; The 300-odd demonstrators amounted to somewhat fewer numbers than the May 4 Coalition, organizer of the event, had anticipated when it called for a nationwide rally last week. At a strategy meeting of the coalition the night before, people voluntarily arrested, symbolic of the four dead and nine wounded at Kent State in 1970, and two students slain at Jackson State University in Mississippi the same year. ■ - Court order violated Those plans remained intact up until the climactic moment of the four hour rally and march, when the chosen fifteen slipped under the wire barrier separating the crowd from the police, who numbered no more than a dozen. As the mass of protestors cheered and repeatedly chanted “Move the Gym!,” the 15 inside the fence raised their fists in triumphant defiance. The police watched. With the chanting growing louder and the crowd becoming impatient with the police inaction, two demonstrators ducked under the wire and began dancing in exhiliration. This was the go ahead for other protestors to cross the line, and within minutes, over half the throng paraded gleefully on the cordoned off site of the proposed gymnasium. Thus hundreds violated Judge Joseph Kainrad’s court order by illegally crossing the barrier. While scores of photographers clicked away, demonstration leaders vowed to return to the hill again and again .until the proposed site for the new gym is moved. After several spirited speeches the protest broke up, ending as it had begun, under a burning Ohio sun. risking the loss of a large number of supporters. The Coalition’s bail fund was severely depleted after bailing out almost 200 people the week before at $25 each. Crowds began gathering' around noon on Friday at The Commons, a large grassy field a few hundred yards from the scene of the controversial proposed gym site. In 1970, Kent State protestors were chased through The Commons by the National Guard before coming to a halt near Blanket Hill. Some of those same students spoke to the crowd later that day. The rally began around 12:30 with a resounding toll of a large bell and an inspired singing of a tune written by area folk singer John Barret about Kent State. Letters and telegrams of support for the May 4 Coalition, including one from author Studs Terkel and another from students at the University of Paris at Vincennes, were read to the crowd throughout the day. Allan Canfora, who was wounded on campus in 1970, delivered the initial speech, an emotional and effective oration recounting the events of seven years ago, including a chilling description of the 13 second barrage of shots. Banners and signs The fast-paced speeches rambled oii, interspersed with rhythmic chanting and clapping. Photographers and reporters populated the hill behind the speakers’ rostrum, while most of the crowd sat* cross-legged in front. Numerous signs and banners colored the scene, including a large one from a Buffalo contingent. Four police officers carefully watched the proceedings. At about 1:30, Bill Artill, Coalition organizer, took the mike to appeal for protestors willing to be arrested as part of the group of fifteen. Organizers planned to have as many states represented as possible in the fifteen, in order to symbolize nationwide support. Volunteers were instructed to meet behind the rostrum to be briefed about their arrests. At 2:45, following over two hours of speeches* the march around campus commenced. Demonstrators were asked to line up in rows of three behind several banners that were to head the procession. The crowd, which had begun to drift apart as the speeches wore on, seemed to collect itself again as the members of the Coalition marshalled people into lines. ■ Emotional speech ''’WiSSB&U Uke « ***, meeting the night before, organizers had agreed specifically on where to march through the campus, at which buildings to stop for speeches and on the arrest plans.

Demonstrators ringed the entire fenced off area and, with police and cameramen watching, shouted several choruses of “The People, United, Will Never Be Defeated!” - The march was then split into two groups. Separate speeches were made before the crowd merged in front of the old gymnasium for more harangues. The protest then proceeded to the Kent State University Police headquarters, where Mark Canfora delivered what many observers felt was the most moving speech of the afternoon. Canfora, brother of Alan Canfora, wounded in 1970,recalled the hate mail his family received after Alan was shot, how his father subsequently lost his job as town councilman and the recent emotional scene of ten days earlier, when his entire family stood proudly on the gym site and was arrested. He was awarded a stirring ovation, at which time the spirits of the crowd seemed to peak. The demonstration wound through the pastoral campus, pausing in front of the Administration building for a show of solidarity but not before an ugly shoving match between members of the Coalition and the dissident Spartacus Youth League. As a few demonstrators pushed and shouted at one another, others marched by, resuming the chant of ‘The People, United, Will Never Be Defeated!” * Painful significance As the crowd treked along the sidewalk of one of the major streets of Kent, passing motorists honked their horns in approval and received raised fists of appreciation from the visibly tired demonstrators. Most of the photographers and media people did not follow the demonstration on this back stretch. At 4:15, the assemblage filed past the small memorial to the slain students and up the now familiar Blanket H31, preparing itselffor the arrests that never came. A huge gathering of cameramen,, including Network TV film crews, greeted the demonstration as it ascended the tree shaded hill. Also waiting was a police photographer inside the fenced off gym site.

The crowd lined the wire fence, straining the barrier, eyeing the police who casually smirked while staring straight ahead.

This summer, for the first time, he had heard the drummin’. Then it was the beating of his heart that left him sleepless this July night, and the choruses of Dylan, and the anticipation that maybe, just maybe, a chapter or two of history would be penned before his eyes the next day. He Was not surprised then, to find himself tying his sneakers while being careful to not distrub those around him. And he was not surprised when he began thinking about the irony of the situation considering where he was, where he was about to go. impulse history. He could sense the nearness of the site, perhaps because of how far he’d walked, perhaps because of how far he’d traveled. He could not help imagining how many had done this before him, and how many might not after. It was then that he rounded a comer and was greeted by a hastily thrown up wire fence, and sign warning to come nb nearer. Knowing exactly where he was now, he hiked up the hill that was to become so familiar the next day. Upon reaching the crest, and peering down the grassy slope, a special, . almost frightening thrill cascaded through his being and trickled down to his hands which were cold and moist. Feeling finally on his own, he paced carefully down the incline, eyes fixed on the asphalt plain below him. In the cehtef of the parking lot lay a small island of grass, ringed in concrete. In the center of the island rested a stone with four names inscribed on it. The flowers around the tiny monument looked.strangely outof place. And as he stood by the memorial and looked up towards the hill where the bullets came from, The Answer, to him, was still blowin’ in the wind. «• �M-: BUI uy Din marascniono Ant Editor A review of Star Wars ?

(Significantly, the only ones that worked were made outside of the major studios The Last Days of Man on Earth and A Boy and His Dog.) No, I didn't forget 2001: like everything else it's ever touched, Kubrick's creative ego, with its temperature of absolute zero, turned its subject into cold lifelessness.

When Emerson, Lake and Palmer took the stage Sunday evening in Toronto, it was like 1974 all over their extended absenteeism becoming the mare — detached pages from a book unseen. The 70-piece orchestral fantasy had ended in a series of Midwestern mishaps and with it went the reason for financial group's three-year seclusion, the the collaboration and musical introspection by-product album Works. What started out as the most extravagant rock stage show ever quickly metabolized into the modest supertrio and a format that bore shocking resemblance to the pre- Brain Salad Surgery days. But modesty is only relative and once one was able to see beyond the notion of the orchestra, one realized that the exacting fusion prowess of Emerson. Lake and Palmer still exists. - Welcome back, my friends, to the show that never ends. For sure. Despite the weak sales success of Works and their disastrous attempt to perform it live, Emerson, Lake and Palmer continue on their North American tour like the true showmen that they are.

A Retrospective (Capitol) This is a charming two-album package of previously released material containing some of her obscure early recordings with the Stone Poneys and some newer, more repent songs. Those of you who are familiar with Ronstandt should know what to expect from this latest ■ release. For the uninitiated, this album serves as a good introduction to her music. Her music is pleasant, fluffy, and easily absorbed. Her voice is gentle on the ears and the liner photographs are pleasing to the eyes (there are enough photos to keep her male fans panting for two weeks). Which brings me to this: what percentage of her audience is female? The question is basically one of image who is she relating to? Does a major part of her appeal lie merely on the physical plane? And while there is nothing really wrong with that, could she have sold all those albums if nobody knew what she looked like? As an artist and a woman, she should be concerned with communicating with both sexes and to do that she has to offer us more than cheesecake and pleasant harmonics. She must relate not only to men, but to her sisters as well. Only after accomplishing this can she transcend that level of fluff and make her music really worth listening-to and buying. I would like to add, however, that if anybody is to blame, the fault probably lies in the recording industry, notorious for interfering in the artist's creative process and also for the mangling of many souls. The album too smells of greedy businessmen. The whole package looks as if it was made to sell, sell, sell., Still, her music is enjoyable and she is backed by talented musicians.

On one plane the music is palatable of taste and really nice. On the other, and broader, plane there is something very wrong with this album. Going by the impecably high standards that the Coloristic Grandmaster has set for himself over the years, McCoy may question himself here. He ploys ballads arid interprets them (and all he surveys) with a staggering visionary power only a Taylor, a Shaw, or a Ra can cope with. There is little, if any, of this special insight here. Trident (7W h$$ the beauty (wj»ichprd, celeste, and above an, McCoy's ever-heightening virtuousity. On this LP (Supertrios ? Even the title is out of perspective.), he slows down comparatively and limits his vast pianistics to hovering at themes; breaking out, at the most, pn the second set (esp. "Lush Life" and "Consensus") with the fine flamenco basswork of Eddie Gomez (This is another point: Bill Evans did let Eddie work. How about more of McCoy's group. Milestone? More of Joe Ford's shockingly eloquent of M?* sound or. more Franco, among others, wouldn't hurt. A double LP live, please?). Tony Williams is the Standout on set one while Ron Carter hides behind McCoy's bass lines. 'The Greeting" seems to give an impression of a Joe Ford flute interpretation there (i.e. 'Theme for Nana," Focal Point, or Indo-Serenade) in the future. I hope so, and I hope for the group and McCoy to be on upstreet for the upcoming African voices and horns LP. A McCoy Tyner shouldn't have to bring the Music in for anyone/it's already here, and so is he. Take if from the bridge, Suad. "You got wings, and I got wings.. ." An old "Hymn-Song" to uphold anew. 1 On a brighter note, the Atlantic LP an anthology presenting for the first time two unissued Tyner trios from the Trane dates of My Favorite Things, Central Park West, etc. in 1960. McCoy on Trane's "Lazy Bird" flies and dives, deep dipping with Elvin Jones drums and Steve Davis bass (Jimmy Garrison joined the Quartet in '61) into the rainbow wells already beginning to billow like solar sails. Even shows that a Dave Brubeck tune can be beautiful, but, as one might say, "You must create in "Your Own Sweet Way." Hahl Very Sweet. The Keith Jarrett sides are very nice; tranquil and uninhibited, this places Keith before he was lionized as the IN avant gardist by the general media for doing things, nice tho they are, that Cecil Taylor passed by years before Keith came onto the scene. The sides here, as well as the Corea (with the excellent work of Joe Chambers and Woody Shaw) taken from Chick's more embryonic creative days of forever (no need to return), and the Hancock (with the pyrotechnic Billy Cobham and Ron Carter) from the years when V.S.O.P. was all the time (Now again, I hope), shed a bright light to here.

The +5 production i side it interesting because it harkens back to tome of the old -pop influences. The most impressive: "Kings and Queens" and, "Long Summer Days." This record is a must for any Blues fan who's Moody and upset that as a band they don't exist any longer. teenage licks The Stranglers, IV Rattus Norvegicus (UA Import) Vile, obnoxious, woman-haters, snots, and general all around unpretty boys. The Stranglers are a strange breed of wild boys heralding an age of asexual psychotic drone. With a scaly approach much like the early Doors, the Stranglers are this kid's favorite group, why, easy, they show us what it's like out there in the world of real robots. Swear ta God, the first time ya hear "Sometimes" with the classic lines, "Sometimes I feel so mean/Sometimes I feel so mean/Sometimes you look too clean" you'll eat your pot canary; this song simply evokes visions of loose and desperate destruction. "Hanging Around" compares to anything done by the Animals: with Hilton Valentine: and for those whosq ilk leans towards Beefheartian language grins there's, "Goodbye Toulouse" and "Peaches." So far out of the miasma of selflabeled Engloid punk bands, the Stranglers have that certain stance which makes 'em as refreshing as a kick in the prostrate. - - The Saints, I'm Stranded (EMI Import) t Another entourage of attempted punkoids whose homage is paid to that icon of nastitude, Iggy Stooge. The Saints are a loose knit outfit who play a gilded sort of white noise guitar with Memento Mori vocals. They play a shapeless music with no idols and seem to be yet another advertisement for chaos and acoustic oblivion. The stance punk. “Demolition Girl" and is classic modem classic "No Time" are gorgonizing in their simplistic stunability, "Night in Venice" Injures as quickly as it desicates. Put as succintly as possible, if the Stooges' "Raw Power" hadn't been made, these guys wouldn't exist. slumberous Live set has as much excitability as cornholing a dead dog. On top of the can you imagine a fourteen minute plus version of the Doors "Roadhouse Blues." 'Mon guys, gimmie a break. A pavid peccadillo for the sake of pure pelf, which makes as much sense as this double album does. Oklahoma (Capitol) The only reason this is included here is because it’s produced not only by Mark Lindsay from Paul Revere and the Raiders fame, but also by Melcher and if ya don't know who he is it don't matter. This group looks good, ya know Ultra Brite sex appeal aka man-wise, and they remind me of the first Allman Bros, album as far as sound goes, though they're not as well produced. It seems Lindsay and Melcher wanted a Beach Boys cum Raiders cum Allmans' sound and that just makes things too damn confusing. The dual guitar work of Steve Crossley and Don Juntunen is occasionally inspired and the guitar breaks on "Ain't it Sad" are just plain intriguing. Meeting this group for the first time is like walking into Ingrid Bergman for the first time, interest, excitement and... If you're the kind that likes homespun lyrics about deserting women and too much booze with a soothing air of suburban sophistication thrown in for respectability then Oklahoma ought a make your drugs flow freer. — - Brownsville Station (Private Stock) After a long tour with Kiss whatta ya think this album sounds like. Vup, Cub Koda and Co. are now playing Kiss songs as they think. Kiss should sound. It's too bad about these rock rejectamentas, they could've been good, but. they're just too blatantly ecletic for their own good. "Lover" might hit the airwaves and "Hot Spit" is a great title that never reaches any kind of fruition, and the "The Martian Boogie" is nothing less than embarassing. My little 12 yr. old coursin laughed in my face when I asked if he wanted the new Brownsville Station album and that's a criticism that can't be taken lightly. Status Quo, Live (Capitol) These subterrestrial limeoid rockers are as good ar argument for xenophobic snuffout rituals as anything that's come down the pipeline in a long while. They even give boogie a bad name which ain't that easy to do, no not too DU as in 'Nam whores, to do as in ... nevermind. This The Moody Blues, Caught Live +5 (London) Vertiginous mellotron viscidity circa 1969. The Moody Blues are important, maybe not because of their musical abilities, which are suspect to say the least, but because they were the first of the telesthetic supraliminals they've a place in the history of things. Starting out as a pop/punk band with the likes of "Go Now" and "I Go Crazy" both from the first album which featured the talents of Denny Lame: as a matter of fact after that first album the band went into a Sargasso Sea of yawn, split up. went on retreat and came back with the litres of Justin Hayward etc. and the full scale symphony orchestra, something no band had aver tried before. It was an instant success and on //» Search of a Lost Chord they even shunned the extraneous help of an orchestra and played thirty-three instruments by themselves. One of the first electronically contrived bands ever, it was interesting to see how they could carry over their complicated studio recordings onto the stage. It would've been easy to hire a complete orchestra to hit the road with but that would've put them into bankruptcy. Instead they had the fortitude to hit the road with their trusty mellotron and attempt to maintain the image of the records. Caught Live +5 is an example of their problems. The album is fraught with Roy Buchanan, Loading Zone (Atlantic) A friend of mine used to hang around with Roy in the old days and he used to tell great Roy Buchanan stories. My" favorite was the one where Roy and my friend were out getting shitfaced drunk one night and while driving Roy home he decides it's time to have a vision, a religious vision. My friend always said imagine sitting in the back seat of a car with this incredibly talented guitarist and he starts seeing Christ coming over the dashboard. And Va know most of the truely genius guitar-players of the decade have all been visionaries. Hendrix was enthralled with planet love, Clapton was silent, Townsend wrote Tommy which is nothing more than an ultra modern retelling of the Christ story, etc. and the legendary Lonnie Mack got so far into religion he gave up the entirebusiness of music for quite some time. Buchanan has been an enigma for awhile now, everybody acknowledges his absolute mastery of the Fender guitar but nobody's really cared for any of his records. Well, this latest Loading Zone should put everyone's worries to rest. Produced by Stanley Clarke, with the likes of Steve Crooper and Duck Dunn from the old Booker T. and the MG's, Roy is forced to glissade his butt off, and this is seen in an absorbing version of the old MG's hit, "Green Onions." This version sounds even better with Roy and Cropper trading licks that are empyreal in their ability to create fantastic landscapes. This guitar Malmsey'll soothe even the most sceptical of listeners. A perfect example of true guitar autism. Elkie Brooks. Two Days Away (A&M) This lady was sexy when she was with Vinegar Joe, and many thought she was the one who was going too take over where Janis left off at far at pure rock sensuality goes. Unfortunately Vinegar Joe toured and since then Elkie't been wallowing around trying too find a suitable home for her visual at well at vocal talents. Well, in Two Days Away it seems A&M is finally pulling out all stops to gat this girl back out into world view. The album is produced by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller of early Atlantic records fame (specifically the Coasters) and sports the considerable talents of the inevitable Muscle Shoals entourage. As a matter of fact the lead cut it none other than the famous "Love Potion No. 9" originally done by the Clovers and originally produced by Leiber and Stoller. There are three songs on this record that qualify at excellent, "Honey. Can I Put On Your Clothes," "Pearl's a Singer" and "Mojo Hannah" which is my personal favorite. The rest of the record is inconsistent and none of the above ever attains the rockability of her Vinegar Joe days. Oh well, maybe someday, until then all us male members of the cast can drool over Elkie Brooks’ album covers just waiting for the day when the music equals the cover art. Editor's Note: The purpose of this column is to inform the reader of records that are rarely heard of and hard to get We feet, however, that these records are worth attention and even some appraisal. Miss Julie... —continued from page 11— did not support a conclusion so absolute as suicide. Troilus is left cursing. But, although opaque at the center, the play is not trivial. It prefigures much of the modern drama of Sartre, Genet, Beckett, Pinter, and others. It seems to me that a director should develop those aspects of the play which remain compelling to us. And, although it is all right to present the dialogue in the rhythms of Pinter, the structure of the whole needs the sense of entrapment of Sartre's No Exit (relevant to Miss Julie in that; all the action is confined to one room; there is constant talk impossibility about the of escape; there is even the famous quotation from Sartre, so descriptive of Miss Julie, the in reprinted Stratford program: "Hell is other people"). If it were clear to the audience from the start that, for all their planning, Jean and Julie were never going to be able to leave the marior (nor, for the purposes of Prodigal Sun the play, this room), then the doomed before it begins, that action would take on a new there is no place to which they dimension, and Julie's suicide can escape.

Vet the director's task with this play seems to me to be to his knees: 'To be so frightened precisely difficult, of a bell! Yes, but it's not just a especially bell. There's somebody behind it because of the play's appearance a hand moving, it and of clarity and order. The director to some extent, .fight must, something else moving the hand." The presence of that "something against (or, at least, work around) the Count, the entirety of the play's seemingly greatest else" virtues. With such a fine cast at his Victorian society, abstract and absolute Authority itself needs disposal, Steiner can hardly be to be communicated to a modern taken severely to task for hoping audience from the beginning of that the play's own natural and it would in rhythms the play.

Geils Band had overblown their blues fuse some years back when such R&6 monotony as "Blow Your Face Out" and "Hotline" continually resurfaced as warmed-over servings of a rehashed past. Why, even the refried beans from Boston themselves began realizing that they "Must've Got Lost" somewhere (town the rock *n roll line when J. Geils would practice catching airtoorn guitars with his face while Magic Dick would attempt an occasional emphysema wheeze on his farce harp. And through it all, nine of every ten people polled on J. Geils would mumble, "Whammer Jammer" in a drunken stupor and immediately recreate that spasmodic dance that would accompany their adolescent favorite. But. fear not. all you smiling Geils' fanatics for the fine tradition of all burnt out rock 'n roll in bands, I am pi eased (?) to present you with the J. Geils Band Self Improvement Plan, or what mH?)t be more appropriately known as a complete Motor City shakedown. What is done by the new and improved (7) Geils (trivia buffs note the name change tricky, huh?) could very well be classified as a rock mayday (or malady, depending on your perspective) which brought to their aid such session notables as the Brecker Brothers and Cissy Houston, as well as string and horn sections and i body of trained female backing voices. So where the boys begin to weaken, ... the musical union attempts to strengthen. Cissy Houston vocalizes some needed power for the rocking "Surrender" and thusly lays the groundwork for Peter Wolf's raspy garblings. Michael Breaker's sax solo soars on "I'm Falling" and is one of the many times horns are required to brace the one-time Geils backbone. Magic Dick. And then there's that infamous external rhyme scheme: you know, that June-moon-spoon virtuosity that could only be penned by Peter Wolf and keyboardist Seth Justman. Now there are many avenues available to your friendly neighborhood rock musician this day and age. If a group wants to rock straight out, profound lyrics are inconsequential; that again is only if the power is supplied. What's happening on Monkey Island is a poor compromise of undernourished music and trite storytelling. The evidence lies in the two cover songs/highpoints of the album, "Ido," a 'SO's rackback and Louis Armstrong's "I'm Not Rough." only And finally, if you have already purchased this album, don't panic. You and your friends can now make your own replica of Monkey Island that is guaranteed to bring you hours of enjoyment. Simply remove the album from its jacket and submerge it into a bathtub of warm water. Hold the album under until it begins to resemble Greenland and then remove your hand and watch it float to the surface. It makes an excellent soap did*. Do it today. —Tim Switala own songwriter. For her own material, Collins Judy Collins. So Early In the Spring (Elektra) It is an interesting collection of songs that usually turns to her family as the wellspring of comprise this package, one easily taken for a typical inspiration. Along with "My Father," as mentioned, greatest hits product. However, It appears that there is "Holly Ann," her sister, "Secret Gardens," Collins, as an artist, felt the need for something more for her grandmother, and "Bom to the Breed," for personal and more of a real chronicle than Colors of herself and son Clark. And of course, the delivery on the Day, or the earlier Recollections.

The album is quite illustrative of the directions the sources of material can take through the artist's development. In the earlier albums, tractionals and compositions, of fellow folksingers are the favorite choices for recording. Also, as indicated by the liner notes, many of the earlier choices had some original profound impact on her musical career. From her first recording the 1961 release A Maid of Constant Sorrow. Collins chose "Pretty Saro." The autobiographical liner notes (more on those later) explain how this was the actual steppings tone from the extensive and valuable classical training that Collins experienced with the great Antonia Brico to her role as the madonna figure of folk. "I had fallen in love with folk miusic." It Is a fitting way for Judy to describe her personal reasoning behind the move away from a promising future as a concert pianist. From Golden Apples of the Sun, the traditional trend continues with "Bonnie Ship the Diamond," and the tide cut. which is a musical adaptation by Collins of a Yeats poem.

Bob Marley and the Waiters, Exodus (Island) Couldn't you just see a remake of the movie with Bob Marley replacing Paul Newman? Only please don’t let Marley do the soundtrack! The Mighty Diamonds would be much more real. What makes him so Mahketable? Well, for most Bahb Mahlee . of his public, the most desirable publication (High Times, not Rolling Stone) got a feature story on the seemingly enigmatic, prophetic Jamaican. But folks, do we dare to believe that the silver BMW Marley propels about the hills of Jamaica was purchased just because it happens to be the initials of Bob Marley and the Waiters? An emphatic no is to be declared here. I really can't understand a man who has Miss Universe as a live-in pet being canonized as a prophet. There, were two periods when the Waiter's really did that pleadin' kind of reggae rythmized vocals. Once was when Bunny Livingstone and Peter Tosh were in the band, when it was something of a Jamaican Temptations. The other time was the short period of time immediately following Marley's coup within the Waiters., Burnin' and Catch A Fire were new; not only that, they were also rather exotic. The reggae beat was mysteriously sinous; it had a molton, heat-inspired combustion. It was sweltering, inside-pounding beat, almost tribal in its effect. Jah was the mysterious African emporer-god, and the Jamaican government was a political hotbed. Tourists were advised not to enter the hills. So Marley slipped out of .. them. Only to flee to another set of hills, you realize. When - . Marley and the Wailers play at the Roxy, in the valley of the Hollywood Hills, you can be assured that every one from Sarah Dylan to Don Henley to Linda Ronstadt to the Section will be there to see it. So, big deal. And that's exactly it. Where the Waiter's reggae used to be a genuinely unique brand of music, this one has gone completely Hollywood. Everyone knows about the Jews' historical flight to Israel, widely publicized due to the work of the {ilm industry. That Marley has turned into what is supposedly a sacred sect of some sort into a full scale rock and roll show, and in the process lost his perspective, is somewhat equatable with those such as the Reverend Ike. The cuts on the album are like a primer for children attending afternoon lessons in Rasta. The cover is like a ten chapter index. Well, where is the index to the pictures? Listen to chapters three, four and five: Guiltiness, The Heathen and Exodus. At the end of side two is a medley entitled "One Love/People Get Ready." An apocalyptic vision, indeed. And it can ell be yours now, these sacred songs of the seventies, for only $5.98! Marley is the world's best known conscientious objector in the case of marijuana in the world. A Jot of men who declared that excuse a few years back were not granted the desired results. If this album is a slate of Marley's reasons why we should deal with this album and gold-plated set of prophesies, then permission for making exciting music will be denied.

The summer had had a crippling effect on our volunteer population due to the large numbers of students that leave Buffalo for the summer. We need volunteers now more than ever in many of the seven areas bn which CAC focuses. The basic concept of CAC is that students must be given a chance to expand their classroom experiences through action and service. Our rationale is that CAC must not be isolated fronr the Buffalo community, but become part of it. The needs of this particular community are great and we place volunteers in seven project areas: Health Care, Drug and Youth, Senior Citizens, Social Actiop, Day Care, Education, and Legal Welfare. The area of Health Care is the largest and perhaps most diverse area of CAC, involving approximately 20 projects. The summer is an especially difficult time for the Health Care area because many of the Volunteers in a particular program leave and this often causes the shut down of the project. This area is somewhat unique to CAC. The problems handled, working with retarded, autistic, or emotionally distrubed individuals are not easily visible to the public eye. More often than not the public shies away from these people hoping they really do not exist. These problems do not disappear and CAC tries to do something for these people.

Arguments over space allocations in recently opened Talbert Hall have increased the frustration caused by the shift to generally smaller offices in the new building The situation is so severe that some of the groups are claiming they are unable to function in their new offices. The split between campuses is playing havoc with communication lines within the organizations and disrupting day-to-day operations. The Millard Fillmore College Student Association (MPCSA) is the least satisfied with its space. The rift between MFCSA and the student corporation, Sub-Board I Inc. (which seems the most satisfied) is becoming so wide that the MFCSA is now refusing to fund Sub-Board, according to Sub-Bdard Treasurer Dennis Black. The corporation receives its from six student funding governments, MFCSA, being the largest contributor, second • to conferences. GSA President Raroanthan Nagarajan said his organization was under the impression they were moving July 11-13. The movers came unannounced on July 8. “It was fortunate we had packed everything already,” he observed. Nagarajan felt GSA’s space problem was two-fold. First, he said there is not enough student space at Amherst in general. Second, he felt that GSA did not receive an equitable portion of the footage available when the five groups sat down to hammer out an allocation agreement. Student role minimized He also complained about a lack of meeting rooms, adding that GSA’s space amounts to less than its old offices in Squire, were which themselves inadequate. “Even to preserve what we’re doing now, we don't have enough room, and we had plans to do much more concrete plans,” Nagarajan lamented. “The problem is not just one of space, it is much deeper than that. It is giving a particular character to the nature of student - ;aasrt*J8tf«~Si character is minimize the role to Groups left behind students play in the policies of the Besides the above two groups, University” the others that have moved are Nagarajan felt that the new the Student location in Talbert will tend to Undergraduate Association (SA), the Graduate remove the GSA government from Student Association (GSA) and the students it represents. “The the University Union Activities numbers of students that come to Board (UUAB). All are unhappy us with problems will be much with their space in Talbert to less. That is a great disadvantage," some degree. he said. There is no room in Talbert or anywhere on the Amherst campus Attacking each other for the student organizations left Dennis Black said Sub-Board’s behind in Squire Hall. The future move went smoothly “because we of these groups remains very were so well planned” but much in doubt the School of nonetheless foresaw -great Dentistry will eventually take over problems in functioning out of their sapce.

The division between campuses Care, Publications, and ironically, is causing a considerable number the Amherst Campus division. of problems. Both SA and Black saw the situation as Sub-Board are being forced to hire being greatly disruptive to student couriers to run between Amherst life, saying, “They couldn’t have and Main Street with important planned it any better if they and information. wanted to student split documents Black has had to budget several organizations. You, now have thousand dollars for services of student governments attacking their own corporation.” He felt this kind. glad that SulvBoard moved to Surprises Talbert in that when Squire is Division Director of UUAB. taken over by Dentistry, his Steve Pena, felt his organization organization will not be “left out received a fair amount of space in the cold.” He saw this as a very relative to other groups but said real problem for groups remaining that “compared tp the space we in Squire. “Other than The had before, it certainly is not as Spectrum I can’t see any other good.” organizations getting space out He was also unhappy with the here.” layout of the offices. He Black felt that disagreements explained that UUAB is “a very over space allocations were at the tight-knit organization” centered source of the dispute between ■round a secretary that handles MFCSA and Sub-Board. Also the group is involved, according to Black, was the operating out of three sep irate a “lack of feeling that night rooms, accustomed work patterns students get anything out of He raised have become impractical, he felt. Sub-Board.” the Fern also decried the h ;k of a possibility of Sub-Board dissolving rooi for and reforming as the corporation large meeting of GSA and SA only. v Executive Vice President of SA, Andy Lalonde, said the moving a bit process was “disruptive.” His organization was poorly informed as to when the move was to occur. SA is totally dissatisfied with its allocation, he said, adding “There just isn’t enough space. There is no, way we can function.” Last Tuesday, over a week after the moving began, desks and file cabinets filled the hall outside SA’s offices. There is simply no room for the fixtures inside. Lalonde was hopeful of working something out with Sub-Board in order to obtain more space. No protest “Conditions in general are going to be cramped,” he said. ‘There is going to be serious problems with communication.” He also felt students will be less tempted to “drop by” offices of their government a fear that is shared by Black who commented that “the only people that are going to get here are people that are desperate.” Black also felt that SA “obviously was not prepared to move.” When asked if his organization Can’t travel Soviet teachers here restricted by Michael Terpln Spectrum The 37 Soviet teachers living in the EUicott Complex this summer are apparently unaware of restrictions being placed on them by the government. Not their’s, ours. Soviet citizens traveling in the U-S. are under the same restrictions as Americans traveling in the U.S.S.R., said Stephen C. Dunnett, Director of the Intensive English Language Institute (IEL1) at this University. There is a 25-mile radius within which the Soviets must stay during their time here, Dunnett said. Although this is a “relaxed program,” he noted, all motion of the teachers outside the limit has to be reported directly to the U.S. State Department. These restrictions are placed on all Soyiet citizens in the United States, Dunnett said. In addition, certain areas such as San Diego and the entire state of Texas are off limits, he stated. There are currently three major groups of Soviet citizens residing in the United States. They include the scholars in the Soviet Scholars’ Program, the teachers visiting this. University and the staff of the Soviet Embassy in Washington, x Not told ofrestriction*- ' " - The Soviet teachers have not been told of the restrictions, to make “the Soviets feel as free as we do,” Dunnett revealed. Valery Martynov, assistant to the Deputy Minister in charge of international relations in the Ministry of Higher and Secondary Specialized Education of the U.S.S.R., said in direct opposition to Dunnett that Soviet citizens in the two ongoing cultural exchanges are not restricted in ahy fashion by the U.S. State Department. The current teacher exchange here revolves around a set schedule and therefore does not leave much room for freedom of movement, although the teachers are free to visit anywhere in Buffalo, he said. Martynov travels with the teachers as an “observer” for his Ministry in Moscow, Dunnett said. The Soviet Scholars’ Program, involving about SO Soviet scholars dispersed across the country, places no restrictions on the movement of the scholars, Martynov said. “There is absolutely free travel for scholars,” he commented. “There are no restrictions from the State Department to visit colleagues.” No briefing sessions Martynov We knew it was coming. We just didn’t know when.” He explained that SA will have to undertake an extensive public relations campaign to inform students of the shift, Lalonde said SA would have liked to stay in Squire, but did not protest the shift to Talbert because they felt it was inevitable. “We could have sat down in our offices and refused to move, but what would have come out of it?” Lalonde commented. Staff Writer continued that the selection of the teachers was left the universities involved, without government He also said the teachers were given no advance preparation or briefing sessions before the trip. The 37 Americans sent to the Soviet Union were briefed on proper behavior before leaving, Dunnett said. He also said he expected the Soviets had comparable sessions in the U.S.S.R. before arriving here, contrary to Martynov’s claim. The University of Buffalo was chosen over 61 other schools to host the exchange this year. The teachers have been here since June 20 and depart from Buffalo August 12. The group is comprised of five men and 32 Women. The purpose of their stay here is “to improve speech habits, compare teaching methods and get acquainted with the American totally up to intervention. on pa«a 10— - ~ - •; - ■ Remember Kent State? Today, a rally is being held at the Commons there to protest the construction of a gym annex on the site of the killings of four students and the wounding of nine others in May, 1970. A court decision is supposed to be reached today on whether to begin construction on the site, called Blanket Hill. According to one member of the May 4 Coalition, the organizers of the ongoing protests there, the decision “will probably be delayed until Monday,” when most of the demonstrators have gone home. “There may be bulldozers here soon,” he said. Student representatives and of several of the dead and wounded students met this week with Ohio congressmen and top Presidential aide Midge Constanza in parents Washington. Coalition members are planning the arrests of 13 students, symbolic and in memory of the four killed and nine wounded in 1970. Two National Guardsmen were recently arrested after they entered the cordoned off site and protested against the proposed construction, according to one Coalition member. The Spectrum is there. �-'vV m-n News commentary Looters are only hurting themselves by John H. Reiss Managing Editor “Where Were You When the Lights Went Out?” was a popular movie in the ’60’s depicting life during the power failure that crippled the Atlantic Northeast in November, 1965. And where were most people? Well, in New York City, they were, for the most part helping others, aiding the injured, engaging in frivolous and innocuous activities and generally participating in a game of friendly Survival. Most victims of the blackout have fond memories of the hours they spent in the dark, reacting with insouscience and gaiety. And where were they when power was curtailed last week? The great majority of City dwellers, who take unparalled pride in their ability to contend with the inordinate number of adversities that befall them each year, repeated their carefreee performance. Yet not everyone was having candellit parties and making babies. Thousands, mostly in the black and Hispanic sections of New York, spent the night and the following day pillaging local stores in the most devastating incidences of looting the City has seen, worse .than the riots following the Martin Luther King assassination. Summer fever People roamed the streets like soldiers overtaking a city in time of war. Groups of youths, often with their parents, smashed windows and pried steel grilles from their hinges in order to break into shops and collect their booty. In most areas where the looting occurred, the damage was complete; nothing remained. People stole all items that were not nailed down (plus some that were) and that which they could not remove was either destroyed or burned. Fires blazed in numbers six times above normal and false alarms tolled nearly 170fttimes. By the time the festivities were over, over 3500 partiers had been arrested and 100 police officers were saddled with injuries. “It’s like a fever struck them,” explained Frank Ross, a Bedford-Stuyvesant police officer. “They were out there with trucks, vans, trailers, everything that could roll.” A woman who lives in one of the attacked neighborhoods likened the looters to cockroaches, scurrying about from store to store, then dispersing when the police arrived. Police Sergeant Robert Murphy echoed the resident’s claims. “You grab four or five,” he related, “and a hundred take their place. We come to a scene and people who aren’t looting whistle to warn the others.

The answers to all three “quickies are, in order, Gerald Brownrout, Gerald Brownrout and Gerald Brownrout. If you correctly answered all three queries, Johnny Olsen is not here to tell what you’ve won, but consider yourself an expert on Amherst town politics as consolation. Controversial municipality Despite rumors to the contrary, Amherst is not the place they named after the campus. It is the second largest and fastest growing town in Western New York. Its 110,000 population is expected to double in 25 years. T he relative affluence of the town’s residents, the high percentage of independent voters, and the potential impact of the Amherst Campus, politically a “sleeping giant,” are combining to thrust the rapidly developing municipality into the local political spotlight. F.nter Gerald Brownrout. Since 1971 he has darted in and out of the Amherst political scene, refusing to follow party lines, taking risky stands on controversial issues, making enemies among political heavyweights and friends among his constituents. Although he detests the term, Brownrout very much fits the image of a “grassroots” politician. In a town gleaming with well manicured lawns and gardens, Gerald Brownrout has been seen “hitting the pavement” in each of his campaigns, goirig door to door, shaking hands, collecting signatures. Handles explosive issues “If someone doesn’t have a voice to speak from, I’ll support them,” Brownrout said in a lengthy interview with The Spectrum. This philanthropic approach has enticed him several times to handle political “time- bombs,” potentially explosive issues on which he has always taken . the people's side., In the early 1970’s, when environmental issues dominated the political scene, Brownrout opposed the expansion of a pollution-checking sewage treatment plant onto land that was slated to be a neighborhood park. He sided with the residents of the immediate who were unaware of the expansion when they purchased their homes. “Every organization in town was against these people,” Brownrout recalled. The councilman also opposed the building of an energy-saving rapid transit line through Amherst. He felt “the neighborhood would be split in two” by the line which was planned to connect the Main Street and Amherst Campuses. Brownrout observed in a moment of digression that, “if you look at the breakdown of any highway built through a city, it always runs through a black .... _ Rat Am-Ton Journal In 1971, at the urging of acquaintances, Brownrout first cast his line into Amherst political waters. Behind him lay two successful McDonald’s franchises, a seafood retailing firm, an international auto racing championship, and The AM-Ton Journal, a politically volatile village weekly, second in size only to The Village Voice, which he Protect my ass, The scenario grew more intriguing when Democratic Party members unofficially offered Brownrout the chance to run as the party’s candidate for supervisor. He declined, but wryly observed, “I find it very interesting that they would apparently ‘offer’ the. highest elected office in the town to an individual whom they did not support for election as one of the six councilmen.” “They said the only way to unify the party was for me to run as supervisor, but what they were thinking was ‘we’ll get rid of Brownrout and make him spend some money at the same time.” “1 figured they were going to sacrifice me, let me run and lose, and leave me high and dry.” Brownrout still intends to run for a third term on the town board. The Democratic party has pledged not to challenge his petitions or force a primary, but the councilman is suspicious of the gesture. He plans to meticulously collect the needed signatures on the assumption that their validity will be questioned by the published. In an overwhelmingly Republican town, Brownrout ran as a Democrat against a 22-year incumbent for a seat on the six-member town board. He lost, and the day after, began campaigning for the 1973 election. “As much as the name was known for McDonald’s and known for fish, it still wasn’t a ’known’ name,” be said in explaining the defeat. Brownrout switched from the Republican party <“my lawyer was a Republican, so I was,” he explains) to the Democrats after attending a political cocktail party in 1970. “All the old ‘hacks’ were on the Republican side,” he observed, “and all the young, energetic people were Democrats.” Shunned by Democrats By the fall of 1973, Brownrout had made enough of a nuisance of himself to be shunned by the Democratic party in its endorsements for town board seats. The party was frightened enough by this new kid on the political block to challenge his qualifying petitions and charge fraud. “They put out 30 people to scrutinize my petitions,” Brownrout said. ‘That’s one way they try to knock out independent candidates.” He survived the fight, which reached the State Supreme Court, and went on to deliver a knockout punch of his own by sweeping the Democratic primary, the first ever held, or needed, in Amherst. Lacking the Liberal Party endorsement, which usually accompanies the Democratic nod, Brownrout captured a seat on the town board that November. He became the first Democratic Councilman in the history of the town, but did little to ease the tensions between himself and his party, tensions that still exist. The party has challenged his petitions each year he has run for office. party. “I have to go on the premise that there will be a primary and a challenge (to his petitions). This is called Protect Your Ass. Everyone has told me to be P.Y.A very wary, even Republicans,” he said. - Supports Amherst control theory Thus the controversial councilman is seeking to extend a stormy political career in to what promises to be a new era in Amherst town politics. The drifting of this University to Amherst should alter the political demography of the town. Liberals and Democrats are expected to gain a solid foothole in what used to be a rock of conservative Republican strength. Brownrout recalls that when the new campus was being first proposed (in the midst of student disturbances here and across the nation), Amherst residents were “scared to death” of 25,000 students “invading” their town. a particular debate at 'which his that tall grassy hills surround the even talking about iron gates,” Brownrout recollected. “I got up and said ‘The next thing you’ll want is electrified barbed wire, and to tatoo all the students so we’ll immediately know if they are infiltrating 1 the community.” “The ultra-right wing mentality, which there is a lot of in this town, was supportive of sealing off the campus,” he He remembers opponent proposed campus. “He was Refused to quit In 1975, Brownrout declared early his intention to run for supervisor, the highest elected office in tqwn government. The Liberal party endorsement followed, but the councilman was defeated in the Democratic prithary. in characteristic Brownrout fashion, he refused to quit and clear the way for the Democratic candidate. “The Democratic party wanted me to take down my signs and pull out of the election,” Brownrout recollected, “but I felt I had an obligation to the Liberal party to run to the end.” The councilman drew 2400 votes in an election that was taken by Republican Jack Sharpe by a scant 220 tallies. “Had I screwed the Liberal Party and pulled out, the Democrats feel they would have won,” Brownrout observed. Needless to say, the events of the 1975 election widened the rift between the party and the maverick councilman. When endorsements for three town board seats were handed down this year, the Democratic Party ’ related. In commenting on the theory that the Amherst Campus was designed to prevent student riots, Brownrout flatly said, “That’s the truth. Believe me. That’s how the Campus was set up.” Brownrout had his own ideas on setting up the campus, including a wild idea about building the 80,000 seat Rich Stadium on Amherst Campus land. He related, “Big construction money was fighting me, saytng ‘Tell Brownrout to shut up he’s rocking the boat. So naturally, I increased the rocking.” Naturally. - unaffected HEAR THE BREEZE?

Page three �Advice for advisors EditPriol Cry wolf too late The Amherst Control Theory has begun to be applied. In fact, for the moment, but only for the moment one hopes, it seems to be working. Student officials of both the graduate and undergraduate Student Associations (SA). of Millard Fillmore College (MFC) and of Sub Board I. Inc. are encountering tremendous difficultues after having been relocated this past week to Talbert Hall on the Amherst Campus. The office space allocated to these vary important organizations by provision of The Campus Plan is pitifully small. The design of The Campus Plan emphasizes a strict decentralization of all student services, as well as of all academic facilities. That very process has squeezed the student governments into physical dimensions small enough to impede many functional accounting procedures and to effectively temporarily, one hopes, cut established lines of communication.. « Those directly involved in the ordained transfer have been very frank about their dissatisfaction and quick disillusion with the new headquarters. Sub Board treasurer Dennis Black said. "They couldn't have planned it any better if they wanted to split student organizations." SA Vice-President Andy Lalonde actually said. 'There is no way we can function." One week after the moving has begun, SA desks and filing cabinets still fill the halls outside their offices. We are tempted to say, "We told you so." Black and Lalonde. albeit their critical, even angry remarks, apparently still don't realize that they could have "cried wolf" before it was too late much earlier noise to the Ketter Administration might have ameliorated their cramped isolation. The structural layout of Tha CampusPlan has been available to the University public for quite some time. The Spectrum has seen it; assuredly, to have the student governments. Tha Spectrum was raising questions about the dislocation of student governments and service organizations, publicly and privately, in April. SA was too busy with the Lev Referendum (Leverendum) and the mere "changing of the guard" then to worry about some place in the distant future called / Talbert Hall. Showing active concern for a'future disaster does not necessarily entail breaking the windows of Hayes Hall in protest. Nor does it simply mean sitting in and refusing to move. Formal memos signed by officials of the governments involved in the then future move could have been sent to President Ketter. Service organizations now slated to move into buildings not yet constructed could have signed petitions against being forced to move. Meetings, at which contingency plans to avoid such functional impairing should have been insisted upon, could have been arranged with such administration officials as the Director of the Student Union. James Gruber, or Vice-President for Facilities end Planning. John Teller, or oven Ketter himself. All this could have transpired over the lest few months. We doubt it. Hopefully, all the governments and organizations already in Talbert Hall (as of last week! will send notices to be printed in The Spectrum in time for the next deadline, Tuesday, announcing their new addresses and phone numbers. Otherwise, they might be lost forever. Due to arguments and discrepancies in space allocation, Millard Fillmore College is threatening to withdraw from Sub Board its annual $20,000 input. This unprecedented move would have a devastating effect on student service organizations and on students themselves at this University and must be avoided by whatever reconciliation — possible. Sub Board now funds Health Care facilities, the Sexuality Clinic, UUAB, which brings music and films here. Group Legal Services, the Browsing Library and the Music Room, and various campus publications, including The Spectrum. The futures of many of these student services could be severely endangered if MFC were to withdraw from Sub Board. Additional expenses have already been levied on Sub Board as a result of the move. Couriers must now go back and forth from campus to campus to handle the banking prodecures between organizations still in Squire Hall and the Sub Board Banking Office in Talbert. These couriers will be very busy in the fall and their estimated cost for the entire year is somewhere around $4500. At the moment, this money is coming out of the Student Mandatory Fee. The costs of these couriers should be absorbed by the State University's Supplementary Budget, and should be taken off the backs of students, victims of a transition that came as no surprise.

Ms. Jenson, after a period of time in Japan, has returned without the vaguest notion of or respect for Japanese culture. That the Japanese should speak English is a position worthy of a condescending 19th century colonial. Such attitudes, as represented in her article, “English Foreign in Japan," The Spectrum, July 8, were influential in creating the atmosphere which allowed Japanese-Americans to be interned during World War II. Classroom behavior in Japan is based on formality. Students listen respectfully while material is presented by the instructor.

My favorite flavor, Cherry Red ... Also, I was going to tell you that student life is slowly being destroyed due to a careful disection of the Student Union performed by those Surgeons of Sin in air-conditioned operating rooms both here and in Albany. But then I’d have to go into the move to Talbert Hall (which you already skipped over on the ... front page) and gll this bullshit about the focus of the University shifting to the Ponderosa out there, and 1 already said I didn’t want to go into that. I was really going to tell you that the City of Buffalo sent me a note. In the note was a line stolen from Samuel Clemens. The line was: “Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.’’ And I was planning on telling you all about the new convention center, and rapid transit, and a new Naval Park, and other seemingly encouraging developments. But I realized that I’d have to bring up the placing of this huge Campus in Amherst instead of in downtown Buffalo and also how political the decision was, and how everyone is paying for it now excepting the people who never pay for things like this. It’s just not something I care to discuss, It’s just not. I was going to ask you something. I was going to aak you why The Blackout is such a big deal when so many people have been living in darkness for all these yars. But that is not the sort of thing we generally print in The Spectrum and besides you might say “Now what the Hell does that mean?” Yeah, and I was going to tell you what a change its going to be when Squire Hall is altered to accommodate the School of Dentistry. I was going to have you picture in your mind rows and rows of white-coated Dental students sitting in The Rat, drinking milk, sporting Mark Spitz mustaches and each owning rows and rows of nice white teeth. Then I was going to have you picture Jerry Rubin speaking to overflowing crowds in the Fillmore Room. I guess t sort of hoped you would sec the significance of a Student Union. What a crazy idea, huh? Needless to say, I’m not going to go through with it. I was going to try and tell you about this friend of mine. But this friend is such a unique person that acres and acres of newsprint might not be enough. 1 think you know what I mean! I saw her today at the I was going to tell you that while The Blizzard is long gone. The Snow Job continues. Alright, a show of hands. How many of you believe the focus of the University is shifting to Amherst? OK. How many of you believe it isn’t? Uh-huh. How many of you didn’t vote? Just as I thought. I was going to tell you that the notion that the University is in any sense “shifting” from Main & Bailey to The Turkey of The East is simply absurd. But then you might ask What’s so absurd about that? and I would be forced to tell you that the only real change is the dosing out of Ridge Lea and Bell Hall facilities and the opening of a few concrete nightmares out in The Wilderness. And I would have to tell you that every square foot of space at Main Street will be used next fall, as usual, so the old campus will be just as important as ever. And so the focus of this University will remain somewhere in between the two outposts. Perhaps The Turning Times on Minereport Highway would be appropriate. Of course, they would have trouble focusing on anything. So you see, I would have to tell you not to believe every heavy hype you hear out of Hayes Hall, and I’m not sure I want to go in to it. You know what else I was going to tell you but decided not to? I was going to tell you how much you owe to the students that attended this University during the tale 40V and early 70’s. Yeah, but then I*d have to go into the four course load, and the disarming of Security, and the elimination of Military research, the 11-month halt of construction on, the Amherst Campus until the unions were desegregated, the self-control of student fees and a host of other trivial tilings.

His voice retains that same asthmatic quality first heart on 'The Hurt" and 'the arrangement is too abrupt and graceless. In fact, this song sounds like an Elton John and Xiki Dee version of 'The Hurt." Another comeback attempt is that of Gilbert O'Sullivan. In contrast to his old material, "You Got Me Going" (MAM/Epic) is a very straightforward nek song. Pop-rock may be more accurate, and, surprisingly enough, it works very well, mainly because O'Sullivan has written a likeable melody that is able to propel itself effortlessly through the ,, Turnstiles but. so enjoyable mention nonetheless. "I've Loved These Days" displays a surprisingly restrained arrangement for an AM song: primarily Joel's voice and piano, occasionally accompanied by some strings and horns, It builds gradually, never reaching a well defined climax all of which adds to its subtlety and uniqueness. I've lost count of the times I listened to "I've Loved These Days." but each time I listen, it unceasingly captures my interest and attention. The other contender was "Barracuda" by Heart (on Portrait records). This is almost the antithesis of the preceding song, displaying as much grace and finesse as an enraged Canadian Grizzly. The lumbering guitar chords provide a perfect backdrop to the impassioned, dear vocals of Ann Wilson, There may be more energetic rock singles, but whatever "Barracuda" lacks in energy Is more than compensated for by sheer power. Two things kept "Barracuda" out of the Favorite category. One is the recording's sound quality, which rivals any ancient Hendrix tape for murkiness. The other is.the song's length. Although it is a minor defect, "Barracuda" could have been made a bit more interesting if some judicious editing were employed.

Page six The Spectrum Friday, 22 July 1977 . groove and the group Illusion, a lineup proceeding the classical rock Renaissance, displays its musical beauty, its haunting smoothness. After an absence. Illusion has returned. The way is perfection, something I need. The music of Illusion's Out Of The Mist is what I really am. Because I have just witnessed the mobs at the stadium-white, gray and ashen as they overdosed on an event with music only a sideshow attraction. The fair's affair was the •midway of drunken, doped people. Even so, in any way, people are enjoyable to an observer. Here I am, hushed in my room, for the time being thankfully forgotten by media types. Illusion's music soothes, envisioning a critic's Walden. Lead singer Jane Relf's voice provokes a placidity I haven't felt for weeks. More pristine perfect than Fleetwood Mac, less nervous than Stevie Nicks, but sensual in a separate way, Relf's voice is the excitement one feels the moment after a Cape Cod wave has crashed against the jagged, rocky shore. Jane Relf conjures all that is of nature with each note escaping her lips. No, escaping is too harsh a word. The notes flow forth, knowing they are leaving heaven, happy they are sharing sanguine feelings with the listener. Renaissance's present superb vocalist, Annie Halsam, tries too hard to please the listener with gymnastic vocals, needed to keep pace with each tune's arrangement And perhaps it is Illusion's instrumental arrangement that gives Jane Relf the opportunity to be her soft self. Whereas Renaissance's keyboards dominate the sound's intensity. Illusion's mainstay is a mode of classical folk-rock rather than rock, depending on the soft acoustic guitar of Jim McCarty, and the rhythm of bassist Louis Cennamo and drummer Eddie McNeil. The fine keyboard of John Hawken meshes well to form a complete band during "Out Of The Mist." McCarty's lyrics in "Face of Yesterday" are born life through -flelf's, vocals as if Mona Lisa painted Da Vinci: Lonely street eclipse the sun Until the sculptor hed begun To etch endmold e dream Which soon became a passing day A sight for God unseen A lace of Yesterday, Yes, out of the mist, Mona Lisa painted Da Vinci in the soft tone of love colors. Illusion is no dilemma of desert mirage. The oasis is real as in "Beautiful Country," a song only one from the practical British Isle imagination could begin to cogitate upon: Beautiful country your mountains are heaven Your discerning rivers are twisting away Beautiful Country you are of summer's whitekisses Only for winter we want you to say / will lay me down upon *Upon the soft and solid ground The summer wind rattles the windows knowing the truth as did Plato -Harold Goldberg simple arrangement.

The soloists are more than adequate, the orchestra is taut andwell .controMacL .and the chorus' performance is lively and inspired. All I can say is that this as a very obscure work of Franz Schubert and it may not appeal to the casual record buyer. Those familiar with the work who wish to own a copy of it will find that the presentation is well recorded, the orchestra and chorus are balanced well, and in general, this i$ a fine release. I have a few minor quibbles however. It seems that Nonesuch's engineers are guilty of fooling with the sound levels. I find such tampering with the performance, using electronic gimmickery and insensitive volume changes by an ignorant engineering staff, disgusting. Someone.should get the message to these engineers (and they are few and far between) to stop. It does no justice to the performers or to the composer. Otherwise, it is a very satisfactory job.

He also seems all of Stewart and playing Gouldman, it is Stewart's and McCartney-esque vocals that dominate the album. Even on the infrequent occasions where Gouldman does sing lead, he sounds so much like Stewart that the two are practically interchangeable. Nevertheless, the situation does work out quite well. Besides the deservedly popular "The Things We Do For Love," the album contains other gems, such as "Feel The Benefit," with its intricate guitar work, and the junior of "Honeymoon With B Troop." Also notable is the disco-infected "You've Got A Cold," which manages to blur the boundaries between a sickness and sex with lyrics like: "You've got a beauty, a bad ass, the mother of them all..." and "Ain't no use in fighting it/Get into bed and try to sweat it out..." As long as it is considered within a vacuum. Deceptive Bends is fine. Take it out of that vacuum for comparison with previous efforts, however, and it does not do so well. Assuming a sort of "we'll show them" attitude, Stewart and Gou.. eschewed a large amount of creativity oommerciatlty the type of commerciality geared more toward the United States than It it highly probable that Deceptive Bends will outsell all of lOcc's previous releases. The differences involve just about every aspect of the band's music:\the lyrics, the vocals, the arrangements and even the song structures themselves. The keyword has become simplicity, which has also become the keyword to mass-appeal. The lyrics, while clever, are not as witty as they could be. There are no images that compare with those from "Don't Hang Up" ("I stumbled from my stag night/To a never ending limousine."); gone also is the outrageous humor of "Head Room." Even 'The Things We Do For Love" cannot hold a candle to the eccentricity of its precursor, "I'm Not In jUk., Love." The lack of any complexity in structure is also fairly evident, particularly since it is augmented by far too few harmonies and some pared-down musical arrangements. In contrast, oh many of their earlier albums, lOcc was never content with a simple song structure. Instead, they would create dynamic, aural tapestries: their compositions frequently sounded -like two different songs expertly spliced together. Now, however, they have opted for a style as simple as that of the first lOcc album. i m But wallowing in the past is futile. Stewart and Gouldman are obviously happy with the commercial success of their album, while Godley and Creme are probably equally pleased with their gizmo music. Still, because of the breakup, somebody is ultimately going to lose; let's hope it isn't the audience. -Eugene Zielinski Alan Parsons Project I Robot (Arista) All must the know concept behind concept albums: the recordings seem to portray ideas brought to culture in ways other than in musical form. At times, music is the perfect genre to creatively re interpret fiction and non-fiction. But the mood must b4 right, or else the concept suffers as a tawdry pulp novel plot tine, repeated over and over again. over-production expert Parsons, Alan extraordinaire, has graced his listenership with the science fiction spectrum of progressive rock with Issac Asimov's / Robot. The thought behind the recording works well. Better in fact than Parson's previous effort Tales of Mystery and Imagination, which was, in effect, maudlin. / Robtot is science fiction put to music at its best. This is not to say the music is like space rock as it is not weird and has a pattern, distinct and listenable. The album is not over-produced if there are too many strings or vocals, the mode of sci-fi is appropriate. The words have been said before; the music has captured the feeling. In the premise, machine overcomes man. A simple twist of literary fate this, and all speculative minds become sanguine when the simple becomes intricate. So this is Alan Parsons' gift well received because The Project clearly spalls it out. For instance, / Robot's title song produces a rhythm line in via bass sequence in 7/4 time. As the beat builds through the song, one can see mechanical robots, made in the image of humans, taking over the world. Parsons makes you believe it could happen. On “Breakdown," Man is robot, the booming bass rises, becoming subordinate to the once controlling human vocals on the track. The vocals of Allan Clarke and Steve Harley sympathize with the psychology of, the matter. They understand the breakdown of a robot in human terms: through science fiction, this phenomenon is not a contradiction but a paradox: Where are all my friends who used to talk to me All they ever told me was good news People that I've never seen are kind to me Is it any wonder that I’m confused When / breakdown, when / breakdown. "The Voice" shows the robots skulking, lurking, waiting for the time to free themselves from slavery to their human counterparts. The strings introduce the robots chasing humans but it is all a pian in their minds. They chase anyway; they need more than pit to keep their conscious memory banks functioning: dare I say living? Living robots are a rub that might seem trite to some; again, the idea is not complex: still it should serve as a warning, not to yield paranoia, but to remind of man's delicately balanced dominance of the planet. During the song "Day After Day/' the power seems to change hands from the human to the robot. Contemplated was human action the contemplation of dreams turned to apathy. Dominance ends: Think of a boy with the stars in his eyes Longing to reach them but frightened to try Sadly you'd say someday, someday But day after day the show must go on And you gaze at the sky And picture a memory of days in your life With time on your side. So, with thirty people compared to two hundred on The Project'* last effort. Parsons may disclaim the fact that too many cooks spoil the soup; in reality, the proof is in the pudding of / Robot. One who gormandizes, has always taken a backseat to one who consumes only to keep physically fit. —Harold Goldberg on its own terms. Deceptive Bends is a fine example of Efritish pop music. It displays a variety of moods and stylet, yet this variety is not to great that the album fOtes its consistency. Every tong has something to offer, be it a pleasant melody, a particularly appropriate original arrangement or a quality vocal performance. Such things maintain interest very well throughout the album's entire . length. Not surprisingly. Deceptive Bends is very guitar-oriented; little keyboard ornamentation can Eric Stewart is primarily be heard responsible for this, because he was the band's lead to have assumed a role as leader, for, the songs were written by both — — — . • . — * Prodigal Sun Friday, 22 July 1977 The Spectrum Page seven . . �Record Co-op hours The S.A.

James Taylor: still sweet by Barbara Komansky Mutic Editor One thing about James Taylor that will probably remain unchanged as long as he chooses music as his direction, will be the quality of sweetness that is characteristic of his genre and own personal efforts. "Sweet Baby James," "How Sweet It Is," "Sweet Dreams and Flying Machines". although it has been a long time since Taylor described the pleasure of the friction that occurs when one applies his shoe leather to the dust of the country roads. To wit, on this album, JT, the only reference to that old highway is in "Traffic Jam": “Damn, this traffic jam Gotta gat home before it gets too lata It hurts my car to go so slow.. ." Certainly sounds more like a confirmed urbanite than a post-period revamped talkie. The cover photo is a striking one, true to the tradition that was followed in the fifties' series pf movie stills. There’s also Danny "Kootch" Kortchrhar, the guitarist who's been with James since the periods long before James did the album containing Paul McCartney bass on "Carolina In My Mind." Kootch is a fine electric guitarist, not to mention active showman, and contributes to the new rockier feel with "Honey. Don't Leave LA," a tune that James chose for this album. A bit more at rollin' and tumblin' than "When I get a common cold/Wanna hear a course, Of there is the saxophone." so-sweet-it-is-crawlin'-with-flies "Handyman," a remake that is pretty with Leah Kunkel vocals, indeed, but lacking the bounce of "How Sweet It Is."* Linda Ronstadt and Taylor share their first harmony vocals on the JT album since their work on Neil Young's Harvest It is clear that James Taylor is on the upswing; while this album is not Gorilla, it is as good as In the Pocket, and certainly still far superior to the very weak Walking Man collection. James Taylor releases and tours every summer. Tours are easily identifiable with albums. Taylor still .. evokes art image that makes him quite identifiable but hard . to completely effectively capture in imitation. That is why his concert was such a pleasure just to listen to. The Niagara Falls Convention Center is easily one of the worst concert facilities, due to its squareness. Taylor smoothed some of the sharp edges with an excellent sound system, and of course, his interpretative vocal quality. He played "Carolina In My Mind," along with alt of those from Sweet Baby James, the calypso "One Man Dog" and electric blues version of "Steamroller" that was first featured on {he recent greatest hits package. But there was a surprisingly strong choice of louder, bounder (heavier is really not ah applicable word) numbers, such as "How Sweet It Is" and "Money Machine," from In The Pocket, that was able to stir the crowd out of its seats. But velocity and volume are of any real performers are often cornered into adding some weight to their act to make it marketable; Taylor is able to avoid this with great success. Also, the Section, which played a rather loud set of Fusion-oriented rock, is restrained and delicate with Taylor's quiet delivery. Kootch is joined here by Russ Kunkel, Clarence MacDonald and Lee Sklar, musicians who have been Taylor's band since Sweet Baby James. Witness "Long Ago and Far Away." The backup is so subtle that the performer and musicians function as a tightly woven mesh, with flexible warp threads. It wasn't earth-shattering, but it was certainly a fine musical presentation. Sometimes it's hard to find descriptive words for artists that are more consistent than anything else. There are times when one is just out of descriptive adjectives. It's especially hard to review the old guard unless there is some radical change of style. James Taylor's audience was carved out long ago. Just add him to the list of performers having their renaissance in popularity. Nicely done, both album and presentation. not consequence to Taylor's strength.

On June 22, 1977, an all-white jury convicted me on charges of rape, robbery, and sodomy. On July 27, Judge William J. Ostrowski will sentence me to prison on that conviction. In sentencing me, the judge has the option of giving me the maximum term of 25 years or the minimum term of three years. Of course I will appeal that conviction all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court of necessary. Also it still remains to be seen if I will actually be incarcerated or not, pending application-for bail on the appeal. 1 still mantain my innocence, despite the verdict reached by my so-called “peers.” Unfortunately racism was allowed to interfere with the course of justice and the verdict was not based on the evidence. Consequently my struggle to clear my name continues, and with more intensity than ever before. Your help is urgently needed in this matter. The first and most important thing that must be done, is to help assure that the sentence is as close to the minimum as possible. In order to help assure that, it is necessary to give the judge a more complete picture of me and my background by requesting that you and other individuals submit letters on ray behalf. These letters should be addressed to: Hon. William J. Ostrowski, Supreme Court Justice, Erie County, Erie County Hall, Buffalo, New York Unfair trial 14202. However these letters should be mailed to: Joseph D. Bermingham Jr. Esq., 1340 Statler Hilton Hotel, Buffalo, New York 14202. The letters should begin “Dear Judge Ostrowski” They should contain the following information: (1) A statement of whom the writer is. (2) How long the writer has known me, if personally acquainted with me.

Kenny Johnson Guest Opinion by Wendy Krasnoff Outrage has been expressed by members of the Buffalo community at the conviction of Kenneth Johnson, a black man accused of rape, robbery, sodomy and resisting arrest. The evidence presented in both trials clearly indicates that he is the victim of a racist frame-up. Members of women’s groups, labor unions, church groups, and student groups will be participating in a mass demonstration on Saturday, July 23, to support Kenneth Johnson. Supporters will assemble at 11 a.m M at Goodrich-mad EUicott, and will march down Main Street to Lafayette Square Park for a rally. The charges leveled against Johnson stem from a series of rapes which occurred in late November, 1975. The business community pressed for an arrest, since the rapes would curtail Christmas sales. Thd police were apparently desperate to find any black man, and proceeded to arbitrarily arrest and beat up Ken Johnson at his place of employment. The composite sketch presented to the police was of a light skinned black man. Johnson is dark skinned. Another discrepancy pointed out by the defense lawyer was that Johnson was noted to have no upper front teeth, a fact not mentioned until the trial. Additionally, a third rape victim who had participated in the drawing of the sketch so widely publicized in Buffalo was willing to testify that Johnson was not her attacker. The judge denied the motion that she be allowed to appear, claiming that she could have been raped by someone else, and that her testimony had no bearing on the case. After Johnson’s defense produced scores of witnesses that testified they were with him either during the rapes, or around that time, the first trial ended with an acquittal on first counts of rape, robbery, sodomy, and resisting arrest, and a hung jury on second counts. Much of the prosecutor’s case was based on the fact that both women were raped by the same man, yet his (the prosecutor’s) request for a re-trial was granted. A relevant but unexplored aspect of the charges against Johnson concerns several other rapes that occurred at the same period as the two for which Johnson was charged. Five or six rapes were reported, including the two that Johnson was charged with committing. All were by a man of similar description, and operating in a similar manner. The other victims did not identify Johnson as their attacker, but no further arrests were made. The prosecutor’s case was solely based on distortion of evidence, and defamation of the character of the witnesses. He whipped up every racist stereotype in order to convince the jury that the defense witnesses, many of whom were black, were unworthy and that their testimonies had no credibility. Even two of the jurors from the first trial stated that the atmosphere of racist hysteria created by the prosecutor greatly interferred with the course of justice. The use of racism was so prevalent in the second trial that it led the jury to disregard much of the evidence and hand down a guilty verdict. The prosecutor then audaciously asked that bail be revoked, but this was denied by the judge. Johnson is now free on $30,000 bail, pending sentencing on July 27. It is imperative that people come to the demonstration and show their anger at this gross miscarriage of justice. 3f\ profiles by Helen swede SA Publicity Chairperson Student Association’s (SA) long-awaited move to the Amherst Campus occurred last week but it may be a long while before things get settled. According to SA Office Manager Mary Palisano, “the place is a mess,” primarily due to the smaller office SA occupies in the new building. SA Executive Vice President. Andy Lalonde echoed similar complaints of disorganization and points out that after weeks of indefinite moving plans, the University Administration gave SA only three working days notice to move. Located in 114 Talbert Hall (636-2950), the student government and academic facility at Amherst, SA hopes to receive more working space. Prospects are dim, according to Sub-Board Norton/Amherst Division To the Editor: On June 22nd, 1977 Kenneth Johnson was convicted in State Supreme Court of Rape, Robbery, and Sodomy. At his first trial in April he was acquitted with regard to two incidents (rape and resisting arrest) but the jury was totally split with regard to the other charge. It was the retrail of this charge that led to the present conviction. The verdict is the culmination of nineteen months of fighting and organizing by Kenny and his supporters during which time Kenny has maintained both that he is totally innocent of the charges and that he could not expect a fair trial from the justice system that operates in this country. The trials have proved Kenny correct on both these points. Of the twenty-eight jurors that listened to Kenny’s case (twelve plus two alternates in each trial) all have been white. This is in a city where the Mack population is approaching 40 percent. Most of the jurors were middle-aged and from the suburbs. KENNETH JOHNSQN WAS NEVER TRIED BY A JURY OF HIS PEERl Kenneth Johnson’s defense was a thorough, straightforward statement of where he was at the time the rape occurred. This statement was never substantively challenged by the prosecution who instead sought to inflame the prejudices of the jury by racial and sexual slurs against Kenny and his witnesses and by lengthy discussion of past convictions (which were nothing more substantial than misdemeanor possession of marijuana). KENNETH JOHNSON WAS TRIED IN AN ATMOSPHERE OF VIRULENT AND PROFOUND RACISM. -The case against Kenneth Johnson consisted solely of an eye-witness identification by the victim of the rape. There was no supporting physical evidence (the clothes the rapist wore, the weapon he used). The police never made the slightest effort to find any such evidence. THE PROSECUTION DID NOT WISH TO TRY THE CASE ON THE FACTS. Kenneth Johnson and his defense committee have always maintained that rape is a vicious crime against women that must be fought against by women and men. In supporting Kenneth Johnson we do not condone, excuse, or seek to mitigate in the slightest the horror of what happened to the victim in this case. But racism in our society, and society’s racism mirrored in the racism of the courtroom, has a long and vile history which has destroyed and continues to destroy the lives of many, many people. It is attempting to claim Kenneth Johnson as its latest victim. Kenneth Johnson is innocent. They have arrested, and now they have convicted the wrong man. Kenny, and all of us, have suffered a severe setback. Very soon Kenny may be in prison, but he and all his supporters will continue to fight to clear Kenneth Johnson and eliminate racism from our society. If the fight against racism means anything to you we ask you to do something about Kenneth Johnson’s case. And right now one thing that everybody can do is give money. As much money as possible. The two trials cost the defense around $2S,000. Most of this money has not yet been paid. The cost of the appeal could easily be as high as $20,000. Publication of information, mailing of letters, sustaining a political campaign to free Kenny, all cost money. A lot of money. If you do not support us financially the fight cannot continue and an innocent man will spend twenty five years in prison. But I am sure we will get your support and though your money will not itself win Kenny’s freedom it is vital to the political and legal struggle that we will build. Make your checks out to the Committee to Clear Kenneth Johnson. Thank you. - — Director Joyce Levin. To grant more space to one group would result only in diminishing another group’s space, she said. However, SA maintains that additional space is sorely needed and many in SA feel that disproportionate space allocations were made. Lalonde believes that adjustments can be made without hurting other organizations which he feels can afford to relinquish space. He hopes to avoid tension among the other student groups relocated in Talbert but “SA simply can’t function in these quarters,’’ he said. He believes that an amicable solution to the problem is possible. Other student groups who join SA at the new campus include Sub-Board, UUAB, and the Graduate Student Association (GSA). Millard Fillmore College (MFC) is scheduled to move before the end of the sumiper. Also located in the three-floor structure is a Senate John L. Stainthorp Chamber for use by both student and faculty governments and a new Conference Theatre. But, because of delays in carpeting deliveries, these new facilities probably will not open before January, explains Levin. Consequently, most student activity will remain centered in Squire Hall, she points out. In anticipation of this and other problems, most groups will maintain satelite offices in UUAB’s former office space in 261 Squire Hall. Since the move to Amherst will not be fully completed for at least five years, according to University plans, Lalonde foresees much difficulty. “A lot will be determined this fall on how the situation is handled and planned,” he said. He further believes that student reaction coupled with Administration policy will be the key factors for a successful but unavoidably long transition. Friday, 22 July 1977 The Spectrum .

It is at the Artpark site that the Niagara River formed a gully, making it the easiest landing place along the river for miles. Here it was possible to surmount the only obstacle in the waterways from the Atlantic to the Mississippi the Falls. Whoever controlled this spot controlled all trade to the West. It was fought over for centuries by the British, French, Indians and American settlers. As early as 1615, thousands of dollars worth of furs were being portaged up the first mountain of the escarpment, which the Indians called “Crawl-on-all-Fours.” Citizens responsible In past years, the Artpark site has been a stone quarry, town garbage dump, winery, chemical dump and depository for millions of tons of rock, “spoil,” dug from the face of the gorge to accommodate the Niagara Power Project. In the sixties concerned citizens from the Lewiston/ Niagara Falls area got together and resolved to restore the land available. Geological, historical, Wednesday through Sunday.

The merit certificate results from the 1977 Gavel Awards competition and is being granted to “Separate but Equal,” a one-hour program produced by Cathy Lewis as part of the station’s year-long weekly “Issues In Integration And Education” series. WBFO is the only publip radio station in the country to receive either a Gavel or Certificate in the 1977 competition. Its award-winning program competed with those of commercial and non-commercial radio stations of its market size located throughout the U.S. The ABA presented <19 Gavels and 38 Certificates of Merit to U.S. newspapers, news services, magazines, book publishers, motion picture producers, and radio and television networks and stations. “Separate but Equal” was produced and broadcast in May 1976 as an historical documentary reviewing U.S. Supreme Court cases pertaining to integration and spanned decisions from Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) to Brown v. Board of Education'(1954). The program also included a 1 discussion with Wade Newhouse and Lee Albert, both professors of law and jurisprudence at SUNY/Buffalo. The series was funded by a programming grant from the New York Council for the Humanities. It was produced weekly during the 1976 calendar year and reported on local issues and decisions in addition to occasional backgrounding programs such as “Separate but Equal.” WBFO serves a variety of tastes, interests, and needs in the Western New York area, as a general service public radio station.

A visit to quiet, suburban Sweet Home High School left some of the Soviets dismayed at the relaxed atmosphere, informality and lack of discipline, according to Dunnett. One can only imagine what impression a visit to one of Buffalo’s inner-city schools might have left. One of the professors, Natasha Gvishiani of the Department of Philosophy at Moscow State University, said America was exactly as she expected it. At 28, Gvishiani is the youngest member of the group, whom Dunnett called the representative of the “new generation” of Soviets. Surprised by Ellicott Gvishiani, who speaks impeccable English with a British accent Prince Charles could envy, althpugh taught it by other Russians, was dressed in new American clothes and sported a fresh sunburn. “The advertising and mass media in America is very striking,” she said. “They keep stopping the films to say what toothpaste to buy. The people must be tired of it.” Gvishiani was also quite surprised by the absence of showers in the dormitory rooms they currently occupy in Ellicott. “I might expect it from an older building,” she said, “but this building is so new.” Dunnett stressed that the Soviet teachers are just like teachers anywhere. “People are basically the same everywhere,” he said. “These exchanges help break down the barriers to understanding that.” The most common items bought by the Soviets here are books, clothes and records, Dunnett said. ‘Their children gave them lists of records they wanted.'especially punk rock,” he noted. “They must not be that out of touch with the West.” scheduled.

LiOOtCTS . . . were cramped in Overcrowded Jails while awaiting arraignment. For these pilferers, who were confronted with the misfortune of being caught robbing their neighbors, the horror had just begun. Prisoners, ten per cell, were kept overnight in holding centers which contained no beds, and were served hot coffee and tea in the debilitating heat. Most unfortunate were those i ho were sent to the Tombs, an antiquated detention center wihich had been closed in 1974 by a Federal court because it was unfit for habitation. In striking contrast to the riots of the ’60’s, were the actions of the police in handling the delicate situation. Bver since the Columbia University uprising in 1967, New York police have been given explicit instructions not to shoot into riotous crowds, but only to disperse them by using nightsticks. As a result, no one was shot and only a very few were beaten. However, the non-violent handling of a violent situation handicapped the police force’s ability to control the mobs, making life much easier for the looters. Some city officials contended that the National Guard be called upon to help ease the burden of New York’s patrolmen, but Mayor-Abraham Beame declined to take such action. Beame’s prudent decision was made in view of the fact that the National Guard has jio training in riot control, a lesson learned all too well at Kent State University, seven years ago. F.xplanations for the hideous actions of the slum dwellers are legion. Most prevalent is the axiom that the poor people, given the chance, will steal from the wealthy “establishment” in a form of retaliation. Many of the looters saw nothing wrong with their lawlessness and in fact claimed they were entitled to whatever they could get. including. Main just past Hertel. Call Elaine 834-7775 anytime.

Indiscriminate looting Had the looters been hungry, desperate people, who had made WANTED cooks food markets as their targets, the riots could, in some way, be excused. However, even as degrading as life surely is in the. ghetto, it is improbable that the pillagers were starving. The first areas to be hit were clothing and furniture stores, and car dealerships, containing much merchandise hardly essential to survival. A feeling of Christmas-come-early pervaded the atmosphere as people happily frolicked among the ruins and taunted storekeepers while holding fast to their finds. The great tragedy of the debacle is, and this is so often the case, that the poor robbed the poor. Unlike the King riots in 1968 or those which occurred earlier in that decade when whites were most often made targets, the looting was indiscriminate. No distinction was made between black and white establishments; all fronts were hit. And when this type of action takes place in an impoverished area, those who can least afford it are stricken the hardest. Innocent sufferers What will soon become evident to those who cavorted gleefully in the havoc, is that they will soon have to awaken to, and live within, their own devestation. Precious little aid will arrive from the more affluent whites who are sure to have little sympathy for 'what they perceive to be people destroying what little they have. This is unfortunate because the overwhelming majority of those who lived in the affected areas did not participate in the vandalism and thus remain blameless. Yet these are the people who undoubtedly will suffer the most; the decent, law abiding citizens who will remain guilty by association and must begin again, on their own. One woman, while joining in the community devestation, joyfully announced, “There ain’t gonna be no Broadway tomorrow.” And she’s right, there ain’t.

The protestors had been encamped in a tent city on the hill for 62 days in an effort to block the university’s plans to build a $6 million gymnasium annex on the site of the May 4, 1970 violent confrontation. The prolonged demonstration was organized by a group of students called the May 4 Coalition, which had been ordered by Judge Joseph Kainrad of Common Pleas Court to leave the site of the proposed gymnasium or face mass arrests. In what was considered a small concession to the demonstrators, however, Kainrad ordered the university not to start any construction work until a final court hearing on the issue is held on July 21. The helmeted campus police and Portland County Sheriff’s deputies carried nightsticks, but no guns, as they arrived at the hill and began arresting the demonstrators, many of whom linked arms and legs in nonviolent resistance. Todd McFarren, of the May 4 Coalition, confirmed the absence of any violence, but added that there were “some twisted ankles and bruised backs” as people who “went limp” were dragged down the hill. A spokesperson from the Kent State University News Service stated, “The incident was peaceful and not one nightstick was used.” McFarren continued that all those arrested were released almost 194 people were arrested on Kent State University Campus last Tuesday. They were staging a sit-in at the site where 4 persons were killed on May 4, 1970 by National Guardsmen. The confrontation developed because the University plans to build a gym on the site.

The report had been leaked to the local newspapers four days earlier. Dr. John Naughton, Dean of School at headed University, controversial study which undertaken to evaluate the Medical rumors was altogether. the Grider Street. The study has come under fire for recommending the “phased relocation” of Children’s, a unique pediatric care facility. (See article page 3.) the questioning Much of revolved around the elimination of Children’s. Naughton conceded in his response that public outcry about the phasing out of the facility might be too great to be overcome. “We read the papers, we’re aware of public sentiment,' he said. “But,” he concluded “our recommendations are based on what best economi ically, environmentally, and medic lly in the years ahead.” Non-vocal supporters interview speculated nature puui 01 ,->C The a igh I Tuesday Naughton been Doctors ‘defensive’ Naughton observed that some physicians object to the merger suggests “greater because it control and accountability, two features of life with which many physicians are not completely comfortable.” Asked to elaborate this statement, he responded, "We’re pretty much individuals who like to do our own thing. We like to have a lot of options.” He added tend to that doctors become “defensive” when their professional “boundaries become more fixed." By no means does the study policy dictate to the four Naughton insisted, hospitals, adding that the consolidation may have to be reduced to two or three institutions depending on how many accept the report on Handles questioning with abou t an Speit ru rn that the staff there had opposed to the merger this the possibility of merging Children’s, Deaconess, Buffalo General, and Meyer Memorial Hospitals in to the new Fne County Hospital on In press conterence, At the Naughton hinted that the relative importance of the report is possibly being exaggerated. “Our job is not to make a decision Our is too make a job recommendation.” He suggested that the staff and planning board of Children’s Hospital get together to discuss the future of the facility.

Reiss Managing Editor The New York Metropolitan area was paralyzed Wednesday night by a widespread power failure which encompassed virtually all of New York City and portions of thy surrounding suburbs. It was estimated that upwards of 20 million people in New York’s five boroughs, parts of northern New Jersey, Suffolk County, and counties north of Westchester were affected by the blackout. The cause of the power failure appears to have stemmed from a series of lightning bolts which struck a major Consolidated Edison generator in Westchester County, knocking it out. Efforts to shift the power burden to other plants failed and the lights went out at 9:34 p.m A Con Ed spokeswoman said the demand for power during the evening had been particularly high in the hot and sultry weather. When the first generator went out of commission, she explained. Con Ed attempted to channel the load to other facilities, particularly to its Big Allis generator, and in fact purposely blacked out certain areas to ease the load. Unfortunately, she explained, the extra drain was too much for those plants and they systematically broke down in what is known as a cascading effect. Widespread looting Con Hd appealed to affected customers to turn off all electrical appliances which may have been in use when the blackout occurred. Officials were fearful that a second power failure could result due to a “demand surge” when power was restored The experience stirred memories of the t of Noven ,her Q !Qr,5 blackout wl.i. f. rl (allure the North Eastern seaboard That power however, struck earlier in the evening when stores were still open, enabling people to venture outside and purchase candles Among the most immediate and deveslatmg effects of the blackout was the widespread looting which was evidenced mostly in Brooklyn and Manhattan As of 10 a.m. Thursday, over 2000 people had been arrested for vandalizing local stores and countless others had successfully evaded city police. No such problems were experienced in the 1965 power failure, and Mayor Abe Beame declared the City to be in a state of emergency. In one area of East Harlem, on Third Avenue between 104th and 114th Streets, WCBS radio correspondent Steve Reed reported free-for-all looting. Reed claimed that nearly three-quarters of the stores in the area had been hit and he predicted that by daybreak, most shops would be free of merchandise. One person who was participating in the illegal activity claimed “The people are hungry; they’re hurting. We haven’t had an opportunity like this in twelve years.” Cubs play without lights One of the most dangerous results of power failures in New York is that thousands of people inevitably become trapped in underground subways. Many people had to be guided by police along the tunnel catwalks to the nearest street exits. Still others remained trapped in subway cars until alternate power systems could be utilized. However, these alternate systems do not control the ventilation system and temperatures in tne tunnels become very uncomfortable. Restoration of power to some customers began early Thursday morning, with most of the recipients living in Queens and Westchester. By 11 a.m. Thursday, Con Ed reported that approximately one-third of the affected customers were receiving electricity. take During the evening, New Yorkers, who often pride in facing adversity, weathered the storm overflowing with new found customers and people throughout the city seemed to be taking a sit and wait attitude. Thousands were left in the dark at Shea Stadium where the Mets were playing the Chicago Cubs. The Cubs are used to playing without lights, although not under these circumstances. The game was halted, as were Broadway performances �International Study grants available now from Council WBFO Laetrile reviewed Buffalo public radio station WBFO (88.7 FM) will broadcast live coverage by National Public Radio of Senate Health Subcommittee hearings on the controversial drug laetrile. The hearings are scheduled to begin at 10:05 am and are expected to run three hours. WBFO anticipates scheduling coverage of an afternoon session as well if it arises. The Food and Drug Administration has refused to allow the manufacture of laetrile in the United States, citing studies showing it to be ineffective as a cancer cure. A number of physicians dispute the findings, claiming that the drug has actually helped some cancer patients. The subcommittee, chaired by Sen. Edward Kennedy (D., Mass.), will enter the controversy by hearing testimony from witnesses who hold that laetrile is either a miracle cure or a cruel hoax. NPR science reporter Ira Flatow will host the radio coverage. WBFO will pre-empt regular programming for the duration of the laetrile hearings.

All resisting arrest charges against the protestors were dropped, leaving only charges of disobeying a court order. Weekend bus service between Ellicott and Main Street will be continued at least until the end of July, although the frequency of the service has been cut back by approximately 50 percent. The bus service was continued because ridership during the two trial weekends indicated that there was a reasonable demand for it. An average of 139 people per day rode the buses over the five-day (two trial period weekends and July 4), with a high of 199 people on July 2. Buses ran from 9 a.m. At the end of July, the weekend bus service will be reevaluated to see if there is still enough demand for service. Vice President for Finance and Management Ed Doty said that there are usually fewer people attending this University during the last summer session, decreasing the need for weekend service. He said that after July, it was “likely” that weekend buses would be eliminated entirely. According to Doty, the new schedule will cost approximately there was not enough demand to continue running morning and late night buses, so they were discontinued.

This will be at the expense of other things.” to 11 McFarren said the May 4 Coalition has called for a national rally on July 21 and 22 to protest the construction of the gym annex on the site where four students were killed and nine others wounded in the 1970 shootings. The Coalition does not object to its being built someplace else on campus. The parents of Sandra Scheuer, one of the four dead students, and the parents of Aim Canfora, who was wounded, were among the first to be arrested on Tuesday. “It was a very emotional scene when they came and sat with the demonstrators,” said McFarren. “People were crying and cheering at the same time,” he continued. As protestors were being carried away, a crowd estimated by both McFarren and the News Service spokesperson at 800 to 1000 people gathered, many of whom began chanting. Mounted police arrived and, according to McFarren “there was some tension, but then the crowd disbanded.” He continued that the Student Caucus (student government), from whose offices the Coalition is now operating, supports the fight against the construction of the annex and Out the student newspaper. The Daily Kent Stater, “vaguely” supported the movement before ceasing operations for the summer. Questioned about general university and community support for the protestors, McFsiren commented, “Things are better than ever." He felt that of the 5000 or so students on campus for summer sessions, many were against the construction of the annex and that “the faculty is moving toward our direction and will soon issue a statement.” McFarren also felt that businessmen in the town of Kent, many of whom felt students “dese.ved it” in 1970, are “on our side now because the situation makes for bad publicity and bad business.” The University News Service spokesperson said, “There have been no faculty statements as of yet” and furthermore didn’t know of “any dissension in the administration.” The spokesperson continued that “privately, some members of the administration have reservations about the construction, but are not voicing them in public.” A major reason for constructing the annex on Blanket Hill, where die Coalition feels a national monument should be erected, is a possible savings of much money. A News Service press statement reads: “The savings from this site are estimated to be in excess of one million dollars. The construction design utilizes the hillside as a natural insulator, reducing all anticipated heating costs.” University began the summer $40,000 over its budget for busing, but the weekend service will not make matters too much worse. “We’ll just be a little shorter than we were," Doty said. In the fall semester, something will have to be done to make up for the $40,000 deficit. “I don’t p.m. during the trial period, but National rally planned Better $170 per weekend, or about half the cost of the trial service.

Since accepting the plea of hospital officials to head a merger feasibility study seven months ago, Naughton has been repeatedly assailed in the press, mainly because of his support for the phasing out of Children’s Hospital, a world renowned pediatric care facility.

The motion had been presented before Slifkin on June 9th, at which time he had reserved his decision. The motion was brought by Dacajeweiah in order to challenge the validity of the New York State Parole Board decision of January 18, 1977 which denied him parole despite the fact that his sentence had been commuted to immediate parole eligibility by (Governor Carey on December JO. 1976 The motion claimed that the parole board was pressured denying Dacajeweiah parole by legislators, prison guards, state into police, correction officers, sheriffs and others who acted improperly Meeting held It also alleged that the hoard was not fit to hear Dacajeweiah's the since application parole chairman of the hoard is I dward Hammock, was Hammock formerly on the staff of the Attica prosecution and was involved with prosecuting Dacajeweiah.

The Spectrum Page three �EditPrial I_ _J 'Tin soldiers and Nixon coming’ On an anxious, sunny day seven distant years ago, when most of us were still in junior high school, four students were fatally shot and nine others wounded by careless National Guard bullets on the campus of Kent State University in Ohio. The Guard had been summoned by Ohio governor James Rhodes with instructions to "get" the student demonstrators, whom he termed "worse than Communists, worse than brownshirts." Remember Kent State? It is a unique moment now, because the memory of those tragic shootings is still as charged with emotion as it is filled with historical significance. Perhaps all of recent history can be described in such terms, but the anti-war movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s is not only a segment of chronological time, it is a vivid portrayal of a national consciousness. Kent State has become a symbol of the frustration, the much maligned solidarity and the utter rage of that consciousness. Vet all that remains of the incident is a small tablet in the parking lot next to Blanket Hill, the site of the shootings, bearing the names of the four dead students Allison Krause, Jeffrey Miller, Sandra Scheuer, William Schroeder. Not a single person was ever convicted of their murders. — astronauts, let's say, If those four had been American heroes killed in a freak accident a national monument would have been erected immediately. "They died unjustly," it would have read. Did those students die any less unjustly? No, they were protesting a tragic, costly mistake, the fault and filth of which have already been well documented.

The article manipulated by high ranking freaking) government and business leaders. While the matter was exposed very well, I felt as though he did not delve deeply enough! into the reasons why. He did state that the isolation of the campus and the students was a reaction to the movements of the late 60’s and early 70’s This was clearly the main reason but 1 would have preferred to see the matter more severely exposed. Obviously, those who make decisions such as these, felt an extreme urgency to do so. The establishment was being threatened and it responded accordingly to protect its OWN INTERESTS. They aimed at preventing dissent and unity among the youth, on a major college campus from which new ideas for the improvement of society are supposed to emanate. New ideas, improvement? What are those'’ I oday s universities are merely training centers for the preservation of the status quo. Democracy 7 Ha! WE are rapidly approaching the Humanoid status which Howard Biele spoke of in the movie Network. If this is news to you, you’d better start thinking about it and perhaps screaming, “I’m mad as hell.” And so it goes. Education becomes exclusive, a tool for the expensive, isolated, specialized perpetuation of the present hierarchical order. Another point worth mentioning is the “other” the Buffalo proposed site for the new campus Waterfront, behind City Hall. Barren land, a beautiful site overlooking the mighty Niagara River and Lake Erie. Downtown businesspeople wanted the campus in order to save their decaying city. And what a fine location it would have been, in the heart of the city where real things happen, not in an isolated Suburban swamp. So what really happened? Did Rockefeller seek to keep students away from the center of a large city where they would surely be exposed to his games, those of the ruling elite, our very own feudal overlords 7 Or did people who owned the Amherst swamp lands and the surrounding area use their filthy dollar-power to profit to an even greater extent? A combination of the two? Ask yourselves some questions, seek the truth, learn about what people or conglomerate powers are controlling, shaping YOUR future, YOUR lives. Then and only then can you even seek to be free and live meaningful, truly happy lives. - - Morv Fox — • > — L A monument should be erected on Blanket Hill, which should be declared a historical site. As such, no university administration would ever consider destroying it in favor of a gymnasium annex. Officials at Kent State cannot wipe away the blood of an important historical event by removing the grounds upon which it was spilled. But they are not stupid; they chose to begin action at the end of the spring semester so that when the decisive moment arrived, few students would be around to protest. (When students at this university returned to school last fall, they were suddenly hit with a manoatory health insurance. When hid that decision been made?) This attempted manipulation of history must not go unnoticed that we presently have the choice of going to this University and — studying what we please without the fear of being drafted or otherwise dealing with a military machine on this campus is living proof that those four Kent State students did not die for nothing. If you choose disavow their importance by ignoring the bloody facts, by contending that the days of student activism are over, you are wrong, because your current university experience is born out of the trials and tribulations of that era. to The current fight at Kent State is not over.

Purchase Power is one of several SASU sponsored programs that Clifford and fellow representatives Claire Reardon and Jeff Winkler plan to work on this year. Other plans include a voter registration drive, increased publicity of student rights and investigation of unionization of this University’s student government. Unionization is a process by which students can dispense with parliamentary procedure and conduct informal meetings to deal with problems. Clifford pointed out that this procedure would not replace the present government structure, only supplement it. Further plans will include helping students adjust to the new campus, Clifford hopes that SASU’s planned information campaign will be of assistance in the University’s move to Amherst.

Reciting statistics of album sales, concert attendance and media visibility in the pre-V.S.O.P. concert publicity only made one more aware that a singular musical event was going to take place. By the night of the concert the excitement level had built to a point where downtown Buffalo experienced it's first late-night traffic jam since the hockey season ended. Like the fine cognac from which the name V.S.O.P. was garnered, each musician in the quintet has continually matured and distilled his talent over the years of experience they have had at the forefront of modern jazz. The V.S.O.P. concert (which actually stands for Very Slow Old the process of producing not Very Special One cognac Time Performance as the Columbia concert hype would have one believe) last Friday evening gave the ever-growing jazz audience in Buffalo a chance to savor a rare moment in the history of jazz that may ultimately alter the course these five musicians will chart in their next ventures. The evidence of the return to a Pale, — higher standard of playing was laid out in full view for the near capacity crowd at Shea's. This display was hampered, however, by a sound crew that even by the second show seemed ill-prepared to deal with the acoustics of this historic national landmark. Sound plaguM cognac Sound problems plagued the set opening by delivered saxophonist John Klemmer and group, an aggregation that seemed at home with excessive volume and rockish rhythms which led to a muddled performance. A pit, because Klemmer can play his sax as he's proven on numerous live and studio albums. Despite the low level of musicianship displayed by Klemmer's back-up group, the and volume heavy-handed rhythm combined with Klemmer's catchy phrasing did get the audience "up" as is the function of the warm-up band. Most successful of the Klemmer set was his closing number, Stanley "Quiet Clarke's Afternoon." The sound problems were not resolved by the time Hancock led the V.S.O.P. quintet on stage. As a result, much of the first number, "Eye the Hancock's of Hurricane," was lost in the booming bass (which was no fault of Ron overbearing was again Carter) and the drum sound (which no fault of Tony Williams). ’Eye of the Hurricane" is a firey, uptempo piece which gave lots of solo space for the well-tempered sound of Wayne Shorter's tenor sax and for the trumpet of Freddie Hubbard which proved to be surprisingly lyrical that evening. It was a crowd pleaser which towards the end of the piece allowed the skill and finesse of Williams' drumming to come through. His rapid rolls and devastating cymbol crashes stole the show and he received a warm ovation for his efforts. As the audience settled back Herbie announced the next R on selection. Carter composition, Waltz," “Blues taken at an easy tempo. It was a delightful experience which by its nature allowed the volume level to come down still further. Shorter seemed most cognizant of this fact and he played as tenderly as I've heard him in years. Carter's bass work was featured throughout the piece and he delivered a very subtle solo ending in octave slide that provoked oohs and aahs of approval as Herbie led back into the chorus. At the conclusion of "Blues Waltz" Herbie smiled amidst the ovation and remarked, "Yeah. I enjoyed that myself." Focus on Herbie Hancock At this point it seemed Hancock and company were warming to the audience and each other and they exchanged glances of approval, at times breaking into unrestrained smiles. Herbie cajoled the others and was the focal point for the performance. At one point he reached into the acoustic piano, plucking and strumming the strings during Hubbard's solo and Freddie responded by a few squirks and squeals from his horn. It was quite they were listening apparent intently to each other which gave the music freedom and happiness. Of all the quintet, 6'4" Ron Carter has over the years remained truest to the straight-ahead acoustic jazz of the 60's. His performance at Shea's revealed this steadiness and excellence which has established him as the leading bassist of his generation. During the performance. Carter showed why he is in such demand these days for album dates and concerts by musicians of all types. Another of his compositions, "A-1," is a slightly funky number which moves out of the funk and into a light, graceful swing making it the perfect showcase for Carter's rich, resonant tone. Saxophonist Wayne Shorter easily between the soprano and tenor sometimes pulling the switch during the middle of the piece as he did in Carter's It was a pleasant change to see Shorter given so much room to move.

Shakespeare Stratford by directed Robin Festival, Phillips, was the best performance of a Shakespearean comedy I have seen. Brought back this summer, a changes have been made, some good, some not so good, but by and large it is the same production. It is, therefore, the best of the seven offerings currently running at Stratford. In Robin Phillips' brilliant and complex interpretation, this play is about the ephemerality of beauty, and metamorphosis, and the of identity, and the relationship of theatrical experience to dream. Phillips our crystallizes of aspects theatrical experience of which we are ordinarily only vaguely aware by embodying them in an actual figure onstage, the figure of Queen Elizabeth I.

Hopkins by Leroy Jones isolation. Stripped of magic as Phillips recognizes, Shakespeare did, that the beauty and meaningfulness of theatrical indeed, of all experience — experience is inseparable from its ephemerality. It cannot be pinned down to the objects which were its source. Step by step, he strips the magic from the physical beings in which it has inhered. We, like his Elizabeth, are made acutely aware of its departure, until finally we actually watch the last evidence of the play's a spotlight transforming magic on the stage (and lighting has been paramount in creating the forest's magic) "scrubbed" away by a washerwoman, who herself is the metamorphosis of Titania's First — — . — ... — Fairy. The magic of the experience consisted of the relationship . audience and intensified greatly our experience of the play as wonderous and dreamlike. Elizabeth is made to be the summation of the play. She is at both its core and its periphery. From one perspective, she is the audience to a masque presented in her honor (as the original production of this play probably was, in 1595). The actors are the aristocrats of her court, and she herself (as was Renaissance for English poets) as the Fairy Queen. From another perspective, the whole play takes place inside her head, as a beautiful romantic fantasy. All the female figures are made up and costumed like her, and are, therefore (like Hippolyta and Titania), in some sense avatars of Elizabeth. And all the male figures are costumed like Barry who the plays MacGregor, represented is customary combined part of Theseus-Oberon. This figure is the projection of Elizabeth's romantic fantasy stern, handsome, and dashing. As many critics have noted, the characters of this play — lack psychological depth. But this is quite appropriate for dream projections of our desires. We do not dream rounded, "characters," three-dimensional we dream images of what we want and what we fear. Queenly slumber In a sense, the whole court was Elizabeth's dream. As the Queen, she was the dreamer who dreamed the kingdom, and, conversely, the object and subject of everyone else's fantasies (especially poets'). the other perspective From mentioned above, the whole court was a play presented to her, in her honor. The fact that all the secondary characters look alike in this production can be taken in two directions: (1) into the play proper, where it emphasizes the conventionality and, therefore, the interchangeability of people in love, and lovers in romantic (2) and into the literature; where it framing device, SUPERFE5T at the STADIUM for “PART 12” Orchard Park N.Y. , SAT. AUG. 20th Guys and Gals! — emphasizes the melancholy of absolute rule. All Elizabeth can ever encounter whether this is a public masque or a private dream are projections of herself. When one is omnipotent, one is also completely alone. And insofar as we of all have fantasies total omnipotence, of the fulfillment of our desires fantasies which a play like this one is designed to engage and recreate we are in the same situation. The experience of this play may well have been one of the poignant melancholy for the real Elizabeth: a hymn to the magic and beauty of sexual love, ending with a blessing of the marriage bed, presented to the life-long solitary and lonely Virgin — — — FESTIVAL EAST I BELKIN PRESENT "With A Little Help From OFM 97" UNISEX iMtest European Cuts er Center the and magical experience, and then back to final - Quch at communal Historically speaking.

This Theseus cannot speak lines which clearly differentiate him in his own mind from the fairies, nor is the speech's rational detachment properly a part of the dream itself (in this production's conception). It is Elizabeth/ who H i pp o I y ta/ T i ta n i a experiences gradual the self-enclosed, to restrict it to Elizabeth's dream, and not ours as well. The cast is almost entirely different this year.

Instead of delivering Puck's and Epilogue sadly helplessly, as Tom Knee bone did last year, Lewis Gordon reverts to the traditional sprightly and mischevious delivery. This would be fine for most productions, but is out of keeping with the tone at the end of this one. And the First Fairy's scrubbing away of the spotlight is so rapid that most of its effect is lost. Furthermore, instead of having the house! ights come up gradually, dispensing with the curtain call, and having the actors bid us goodnight in the theater lobby (as was done last summer), a regular curtain call is instituted. I do not know whether these changes in the production ephemeral ordinarily . interpretation, Snout Starveling to admirable.

The Gabby Pahinui Band (Warner Bros.) Michael Stanley Band, Stagepass (Rpic) Album covers, with the exception of the abstract realisms portrayed by Norman Seefe, tend to portend little of what is to be in store for the ear. Fork It Over, the album by backup musicians extraordinaire, Danny Kortchmar, Lee Sklar, Craig Doerge and Russ Kunkel, known as The Section, frees the arcaneness of album cover art to elucidation. Painted, and more importantly, felt is a fork holding a record wedge. It is not dripping lusciously for the taste buds, but for the ear. The section of the album is meaningful, too, in that a part of many marketed records has, for years, been intricately pieced together by these fine talents. As the Buffalo summer rolls from humid breezes to banal doldrums. The Section is touring with and opening for James Taylor, bringing to the air a refreshing coolness. The conditioned freshness sees music in the rock-jazz mode. The Section's expert creativity spurns burning imagination on the listener's part. the ear. Through interpretation. Through Through the mind. Music here is orchestrated by pastoral images of scenery and fast paced, sometimes confused, city living. Of course, The Section splits the images to two record sides, rural and urban. This production is not a whim of schizophrenia Fork It Over's idea is more complicated than that. Ears become eyes apt to see stories with the words and lyrics of scaled notes. Very smooth and easy is the sound, not the dross of Kiss or the waste of The Ramones. "Magnetic Lady" is a bass, keyboard, drum, mystical to understand the argument guitar mesmerizing potion of love The struggle for love ends in harmony, a realized oneness with David Crosby vocals given this insight by the Section. "Rainbows" defines water colors with the welcome outpouring of heart analogous to downpouring storm by Craig Doerge's keyboards. Russ Kunkel's drums characterize ram flowing rhythm and a feeling natural and Lee Sklar's bass booms softly, then confidently, to introduce the sun. Kortchmar's guitar becomes the complex rainbow on vivid, clear Trcme legacy open for comprehension When the Black Man ruled this land Pharoah was sitting on his throne When the Black Man ruled this land Pharoah was sitting on his throne notes. hope you understand I hope you understand / from 'Black Man' by Sun Ra sung by June Tyson (John Coltrane ascended 10 years, come Sunday, and left a legacy that many people in this land still refuse to understand, even though the legacy is an integral focal point of Human legacy; both analytically and aesthetically our own.

One's appetite for color brilliance is appeased as The Section's Fork It Over makes nature accessible to all. David Sanborn's saxophone tunes the true jazz of nature to mellow each involved in the tenable feeling of emotion. Promise Me The Moon claims and changes even the most casual listener's mood to one of sensuality. From the peppy Danny Kortchmar written title track to the woozy jazz blues notes of James Taylor's "Benjamin" Sanborn exhales his essence to his sax, exploding to invade one's own mind with lively life breaths. Although Hiram Bullock's vocal on "Promise Me The Moon" is too casual and Dale Oehler's piano is too overbearing on "Benjamin," Jumana Santos' percussion keeps the faithful beat alive and carefully moving to Sanborn's instrument. The album's second side flows easier than does side one. This is due to the extended length of songs; since jazz is composed of improvisation (which gives it life), time is needed to ripen the jam. Everyone wakes to the rising Latin beat of "Morning Salsa;" the sax sound is made full by keyboards and guitar. Warm sun shines the day ahead of you; the music is the warm body and the body is full of energy. How rich we are. "The Legend of Cheops" shows the Egyptian Khufu unleashing the country citizenry to enslaving and build the Great Pyramids, impoverishing his Egypt for his questionable supernatural beliefs. Here the sax reveals the almost divine ego of the king. As the pyramids attest to a seeming immortality, Sanborn's sax lifts to royal I i m hi hi p WE DELIVER July 31, '77 Limit 1 coupon per Coupon expires Prodigal Sun - — c ° customer | mp ppp m i and above the heavens is the passion embraced by the ethnic acoustic music of Hawaii exposed by The Gabby Pahiniu Hawaiian Band. Combining traditional sad smiles of the islands with modern movements, Pahinui reflects the genuine genuflection toward the people's prideful identity before Western colonization and still-hoped-for assimilation. But this sort of mixture cannot happen so long as music flourishes the surreality of life's chauvinism. Pahinui features the swaying palms, the innocence of dark young women and carefree life with the happy wines of steel guitars sobered by the optimism of acoustic sounds. Lyrics are the Hawaiian language translated not on record, but on liner notes, to English. "Wahinui U'l is: "You, this is for you Flower, Lake!a flower Beautiful, you are so beautiful Such a lovely lady. The simplicity is almost untarnished. Almost.

Ry Cooder's mandolin adds the of illusion to the music exploring the Special treats are the solos in "Moani Ke Ala," poised, passing the stage of life to spirit. The Michael Stanley Band's Stagepass permits the listener to return to midwest rock 'n roll . permitting the whole of America to gather 'round the live album. Always a sucker for a good ballad, Stanley's Cleveland Sleaze "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" starts as a mellow rocker, then bridges slicing what is mellow to be spliced with driving rock 'n roll. The original arrangement proposes electric rock to Goffin-King; what a fine, admirably immodest proposal. Bob Pelander's vocals enhance the song with progression. The soft becomes hard; never give up on the original positions of this band. The double live Stagepass combines standards with many new tunes. I especially like the satirically sexual "Midwest Midnight." "Witti thirteen lovers I hid beneath the covers Got staples in my hands for my time With the radio so low so my folks won't know / proceed with my passion crime. The song moves to reveal the best interpretation of rock star life I have ever heard. The lyrics are biting monition . . — " and incisive a rock begins and ends with the radio.

(Nonesuch) distant but jarringly responsive sonics (the work sounds as if it were recorded in concert hall, rather than a studio) emphasizes the percussive and often disturbing aspects of the work. I found the "Alcotts" movement especially well done. Kalish conveys austere, ascetic New England mood without succumbing to any sentimentality. He is also very good in the "Emerson" and "Thoreau" movements (Kalish employs the optional viola and flute parts in each movement, respectively), and achieves an overall homogenity in temperment, yet difference in style that adds up to a total experience. You can't beat the price either. This is definitely a fine recording to own, and I recommend it without reservation. T.

The trip to Buffalo will be partly sponsored by the International Affairs branch of the Student Association. The Iranian athletes will be given a luncheon, and at 2 o’clock on Tuesday, will give a clinic at Clark Hall. The clinic, which will be open to the public, is designed to help local high school and junior high school wrestlers and coaches. There will be demonstrations in both freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling. (Greco-Roman wrestling, which is not very popular in the United States, does not allow any holds below the waist.) Bulls in action Tuesday evening, the Iranians will wrestle against the Niagara AAU All-Star team, at Orchard Park High School at 7 p.m. The Niagara AAU team will feature several Bulls wrestlers, including Tom Jacoutot at 114 pounds, Ed Tyrrell at 136, Kirk Anderson at 163 and Dave Mitchell at 180. The coaches of the AAU team will also be UB Alumni. The freestyle team will be coached by Tony Policare and Roy Guarino. Policare is currently the coach at Orchard Park High School and Guarino coaches at Williamsville East. The Greco-Roman team will be coached by Gary Fries (now at Frontier High) and by Bill Jacoutot (now at Bishop Neumann).

For example, the worst loss ever suffered by the Bulls was a (By the way, the team 128-0 thumping by Michigan, way back in Buffalo’s win was an 81-0 then.) biggest the Bisons back was known as was in 1894, begun Hobart 1918. Since football over in triumph Buffalo has won 238 games, lost 243 and tied 27. In 1935, the football team reported to fall practice only to find that there were no footballs on campus. The Bulls first played at Rotary Field in 1920, although during the 1940s and 1950, Buffalo played many of its games in Civic Stadium (now known as War Memorial Stadium). Before 1920, the Bulls played their home games at Main and Jefferson, where the Sears store now stands. Buffalo moved into the NCAA’s University Division (the highest level of competition) in 1962, and from then until 1970, the sport s last year, Buffalo was 46-37-4 having only one losing season. Two Bulls from that era, Gerry Philbin and John Stofa, wound up in the pros. 1901. Wrestling recruits There will be an increased spirit of brotherhood on the wrestling Bulls next year. That’s because there will probably be two pairs of brothers on the team next year. Freshman Dave Tundo from Elmira will be joining brother Gene Tundo on the Bulls squad. The younger Tundo, who will probably wrestle at either 134 or 142 pounds, finished fifth in New York State as a senior at Frontier High. The other brother combination will be Michael and Tom Jacoutot of Old Bridge, New Jersey. They are brothers of Bill Jacoutot, a Bulls wrestling star in the early seventies. Michael, who wrestles at 126 pounds, finished second, third and fourth in consecutive years at the New Jersey High School Championships. Tom, who wrestles at 118 pounds, will be returning to the team after a one year absence. Wrestling coach Ed Michael has also recruited some excellent prospects for the heavier weight classes, where the Bulls were weak last Bulls year. Heavyweight James Bottcher of Elmira will be joining the at tournament Olympic Junior the National after finishing fifth in to expected also Memphis this summer. Chris Ness, a 190 pounder, is wrestle here. He is a transfer from Niagara Community College, where he finished third in a National Junior College regional tournament.

It states that in end of the meeting he expressed the event two students request doubts about the feasibility of the representation on conflicting sides program. He felt the $30,000 of a case, such as a divorce, the proposed budget would not be first student to apply would be Administration objects to free legal representation by Jay Rosen Editor SpecialFeatures Group Legal Services’ lengthy struggle for the right to represent students, in court free of charge appears to be headed into its second year, as s meeting last week with University President Robert Ketter proved unproductive. -I Student supporters of the program have actually been pushed a step backward, since they must now rewrite their proposal as a result of objections raised by Kettcr concerning its wording. The At the source of the dispute President felt certain phrases in over the program are the the document were “internally SUNY-wide guidelines for use of inconsistent” and must be revised mandatory fees. Those rules allow The GLS program would be fees to be spent for “programs of supported by student mandatory educational, social, or cultural fees and would provide free legal enrichment, of benefit to the* counseling and representation to campus community” and for all students. Most of its supporters “student services to supplement feel it will be ultimately rejected or add to those provided by the by the Administration and a court University.” The administration battle will ensue. “I can predict has consistently held that that the program will not be individual of representation approved and that we’ll win in students, as a concept, falls well court,” said Director of GLS outside the guidelines and on David Brownstein. those grounds Associate Vice President Anthony Lorenzetti officially rejected the proposal Right to know “I think we are sympathetic to last month. the fact that this has taken almost Loren zetti’s opinion was that a year,” related Assistant to the the program benefits only the President Ron Stein, “Even if the answer to W students have a community, and that it was not right to that knowledge because the type of program that SUNY they do have certain options.” Board of Trustees would term “a His~ Stein was referring to the studeht service.” expected court test. understanding was that the nearly enough to cover costs. Objections were also raised concerning the use of student fees to defend “criminals.” “He (Ketter) seemed to be -. pointing out that the criminal element will flourish because there are lawyers to represent it,” Meridean related. “That is as absurd as saying disease will flourish because there are doctors to treat it.” David Brownstein of the portion was meant for guidelines medical-type programs. However, GLS attorney Richard Lippes has maintained the sponsor of the “student services” passage had programs just such as GLS in mind when he worded it. “services” Criminals? . An appeal to Ketter is now the only remaining avenue for the student outside of litigation, Last week’s meeting was not an official appeal, although some of the students attending were under the impression it was. “The was meeting > Both Meridean and Brownstein felt that discussions surrounding the feasibility or ultimate effect of the were program extemporaneous to the real issue of whether or not individual representation falls within the fee guidelines. “They can’t disapprove a program because they think its an unwise expenditure,” Meridean observed. Lorenzetti that agreed particular characteristics of the program such as feasibility were “not really the issue. The issue boils down to litigation, if boils down individual to representation.” His position on individual representation has always been that it does not adhere to the guidelines. represented. Although Brownstein had decided to drop the controversial clause last month, it was still contained in the actual document that was debated at the meeting. There was also some confusion as to whether the proposal had ever been formally submitted to the President. Students reasoned that submission to Ketter’s designee, Lorenzetti, constituted submission to the President. Stein said that is not, and never has been, the case. Students noted that Counsel to the President HQlory Bradford received the document and rendered opinions on it months ago. “Because his employees did not inform him does not mean he can say he was unaware of the proposal,” Meridean commented. “Although I’m sure he can deny formal knowledge,” she added. The student side was hampered further by the existence of two versions of their proposal. One contained a section providing for « bail fundIt. was not known if other existed discrepencies between the two documents. Students were apparently unaware of the differences until they were brought out at the meeting. ' Digging may begin next year Rapid transit in Buffalo hinges on impact study by Richard Chon Spectrum Staff Wjiter The $336 million light rail rapid transit system planned for the Niagara Frontier could be a reality by the late summer of 1982, an official of the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA) has told The Spectrum. According to Larry Schieber, spokesman for the Metro Construction Division of the NFTA, if all goes well, construction on the 6.4 mile transit route could begin as early as the summer of next year. Among the obstacles facing final go-ahead of the transit route is the Environmental Impact Statement (GIS), a study of the environmental effects the route could have on the area. The findings of the EIS must be approved by the federal government before the final funds are appropriated for the project. A public hearing is scheduled for July 14 at the Buffalo and Erie County Public Library (comer of Clinton and Ellicott) to discuss the environmental study. There the study will be placed under close scrutiny by several federal, state, and local agencies. The record will be kept open for those absent from the hearing to voice their opinions in written form. After the hearing, the EIS will then be sent to the Federal Urban Mass Transit Administration (UMTA) for final approval. If other problems are overcome (a soil test of the route along Main Street is being done), and the EIS is approved, then construction could conceivably begin by late summer of 1978. Commitment The rapid transit system proposed for Buffalo was given the financial green light in June of last year, when the federal government announced a “commitment in principle” to the project. Under the provisions of its agreement, the federal government pledged 80 percent of the transit route’s $336 million price tag providing that the state supply the remaining 20 percent. In October of last year, the federal and state governments appropriated the first $10 million for the route. These funds were employed for general architectural and engieering studies, as well as for the funding of the environmental study. NFTA expects the decision on the EIS in January of next year at the latest. If the project is completed, Buffalo will be the first city in the United States to use the so-called “light rail” transit system. The name “light rail” is misleading, having nothing to do with the weight of the tracks themselves. The term refers to the “light” passenger capacity of the individual cars. Also, while “heavy rail” transit cars would receive their power through a “third rail” built into the ground, light rail systems are powered through an overhead wire, much like the old fashioned trolleys that raa through Buffalo at the turn of the century. Flexible . The light rail system also offers more versatility than its counterpart. It can run above ground as well as below, and is capable of the slower speeds that the proposed Buffalo system will require. The transit system was originally proposed in the late 1960’s as a heavy rail system. But federal budget strains, which for a while threatened the existence of the route, forced a shift, to the less expensive light rail system. The six stations originally envisioned (the heavy rail system requires more space between stops for acceleration, and is capable of higher speeds), grew to 14 stations. The light rail system as proposed, would begin at the Main Street campus of SUNY Buffalo and would follow Main Street underground to Memorial Auditorium, a distance of 6.4 miles. It would travel underground for most of the route, surfacing between Tupper Street and the Auditorium, for a stretch of 1.23 miles. From Main Place Mall (Church Street) to Tupper, cars will be re-routed permanently. The system, would co-exist with a pedestrian walkway, lined with trees and benches. For the remaining 5.2 njiles, the route would travel underground. The route will not reach the Amherst Campus as originally planned, because funds could not be found for the additional 11 miles. Under the federal plan, however, the NFTA can apply {dr funding for the rest of the originally planned touted while the first, section is still being built. The NFTA is'also planning to build lines over unused, already existing railroad passages in the Town of Tonawanda. But the Amherst route maintains first priority, “because we always planned to go to the new campus,” said NFTA spokesman Schieber. Subsidies needed Schieber warned that the transit system will not be financially self-supportive. “People have the impression that a rapid transit system can be kept going through fares, and that fares will eventually pay for the entire system. This is a faosehood. Just like buses, rapid transit will have to operate on subsidies,” he related. ‘The subsidies won’t be as great as those needed for buses, though. If you figure that each transit car holds ISO people, then four cars together will hold 600 people, with only one driver. Buses hold only forty people with one operator. As you can see, the operating and maintenance costs will be much lower than the comparable costs for buses. But, of course, you don’t have the flexibility of buses, in that you can’t go everywhere,” he continued. One further advantage of the light rail system is its many stations, which can each be visited by several “feeder buses.” These buses will enable a resident living anywehre in the city to get to a'station. Schieber was optimistic about rapid transit’s future in Buffalo. “Besides thinking of the number of jobs the transit system will create, the system will be good for the city in the long run,” he said. “If you look at an aerial map of Toronto, you’ll notice that all the businesses and all the magnificent highrise buildings are clustered around the stations following subway lines,” Schieber continued. “If that occured in Buffalo, and we think it will, it will bring a lot of people back into the city and generate a tremendous real estate boom, as well as create a greater tax base for the city.” �V* 1 ■ - 1; • .?• hildren “For every prescription drug, there are (at least) one or two over the counter drugs,” Yaffe explained. Many of these drugs, he went on, such as sedatives, diuretics antihistimines, and antacids, are for nsed symptomatic relief. Possible malformations Yaffe Unfortunately, remarked, it takes a great number of infants showing ah abnormality as a result of prenatal ingestion of a drug for the adverse effects of that drug to be properly recognized. Such was the case with thalidomide, whose potential creating malformations, for malformed or missing limbs in newborns was only recognized after years of use and a disturbingly high number of stricken infants. Yaffe further noted that drugs taken for physical relief can cause long term functional and developmental defects in children. These long term effects can be even more severe and difficult to correct than shorter term defects. Valium, for example, a drug used to lessen the stress of delivery, can alter the infant’s body temperature, which, unless corrected quickly and properly can affect the child’s brain. Lithium, Yaffe continued, generally used in the treatment of mental illness, can retard the mental development of the infant.

Roswell Park DNA research lab set to be built New York students help A group of five researchers at Roswell Park Memorial Institute has recently received federal funding to build a laboratory facility for recombinant DNA experimentation. This funding consists of $600,000 granted by* the National Institutes of Health (NIH), a division of the Department of HEW. An additional $200,000 is anticipated to come from the New York State Department of Health. The facility’s construction will be completed in one year. Recombinant DNA experiments involve the combination of genome (DNA) segments from two different species, achieved by splicing the pieces together using various enzymes. Deoxyribonucleic acid, DNA, is the class of molecule which blueprints the biological potential of virtually all organisms and which also controls the specific execution of that p otential during the life of the organism. After a recombinant gehome is constructed, it is inserted into a simple organism, such as E.coli bacteria. Upon entering the organism, the recombinant DNA can replicate and perform other genome functions. This system thereby provides a mechanism which is capable of producing large quantities of a particular DNA sequence, or which can produce large quantities qf a particular DNA coded protein or allow the behavior of the DNA sequence to be studied in a simplified environment. Exoli, a bacteria vital to the function of the digestive tract of humans and many other animals, has been extensively characterized and therefore provides an expellent backdrop for manipulation of recombinant DNA. The techniques of constructing and utilizing recombinant DNA are of recent origin. Since this work has only been carried out ih the past few years, its full range of applications has yet to be reached. Dr. Ken Paigcn, Chairman of the Roswell Molecular Biology Department and one of the recombinant DNA researchers, voices the opinion of many other biologists when he says, “The benefits M recombinant DNA research cannot be estimated.” Paigen cites the potential for studying the genetic causes of cancer and congenital birth defects and the possibility of constructing crop strains that can fix nitrogen. Nitrogen fixation is a process which converts atmospheric nitrogen into soil fertilizing nitrates. Additionally, there is the potential to create bacteria which can mass produce pharmaceutically useful proteins, such as insulin. A few weeks ago a group of scientists at the University of California at San Francisco announced that it had succeeded in inserting a rat insulin gene into an E.coli plasmid, which is the first step in achieving bacterial insulin production Numerous scientists, however, have also recognized potential risks involved in these experiments. Uncertainty concerning the effects of inserting foreign genomes into'a novel environment and the ubiquitous nature of E.coli has precipitated a controversy over the performance of recombinant DNA experiments. This controversy has thrust the recombinant DNA issues into a public decision making arena, first in the field of biology.. Biological havoc Concern over the safety of recombinant DNA work pivots about the fear that these experiments could produce dangerously altered bacteria which would escape laboratories and wreck biological havoc upon the world. This point has been countered by the contention that the chance of that oCcuring is quite low. Paigen also points out that in the total human population, a small but significant number of natural integrations of human DNA into E.coli probably is continually occuring. The debated safety of recombinant DNA experiments resulted in a voluntary moritorium called on 'all such research in July 1974.

Waihrib termed this year’s near 50 percent registration rate “fantastic” and was hopeful for even more success in the coming weeks. NYPIRG was heartened by the recent report that student voters from New York State helped push Jimmy Carter over the top in November’s Presidential election. If students in New York hadn’t voted, die report stated, Gerald Ford would have been the victor. NYPIRG is now trying to help pass legislation which would allow students to vote in their school’s district, rather than by absentee ballots. In addition to its vot?r registration efforts, NYPIRG is also conducting a study of banks in the Buffalo area. Lew Rose of NYPIRG is spearheading the study which is attempting to give students a guide to banking facilities in die area. According to Wainrib, NYPIRG is trying to give students a “voice and a choice” and let students know what services are available. The New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) has successfully registered 111 of 230 freshmen at die first two freshman Orientations to vote in this November’s elections. This, according to NYPIRG Staff Project Coordinator Rob Wainrib, is the highest success rate in this endeavor that this University has freshmen arriving for Orientation receive registration material in packets which also contain pertinent information concerning the University.

Pried S5E«o) Albany have produced a bill that reduces the possession of 25 grams, about seven-eighths of an ounce, of pot to one similar to a traffic offense, with fines of $100 to $250 but no criminal records or jail terms until the third offense. Much credit for passage of the bill must be given to NYPIRG, which for three years has maintained the only full-time marijuana lobby in Albany. NYPIRG consists mostly of college students and as such was rightfully the most concerned lobby in Albany, because college students smoke at least ten times as much pot as any other group-of people in the state. S|p rejoice, rejoice, you have no choice. This bill is as inadequate in substance as it is timely and welcome in appearance. Yes, roll up a nice thin joint of good gold, but smoke it in your room, and, by all means, smoke it by yourself. If caught toking with a friend, you may find yourself facing three months in jail, because the act of passing a jomt is considered a "gift," and no longer mere "simple possession." i Granted, three months is a considerable reduction from Rockefeller's maximum of 15 years, but any such "gift" clause is idiotic and should be removed from the bill. If one considers smoking at all, it is certainly as natural to smoke with a friend as it is to smoke alone. The new bill also prohibits smoking in public places such as beaches, parks. Main Street or the fountain area in back of Squire Hail. Public display is still punishable by up to three months In jail, which is not only idiotic but socially unrealistic. There is no reason why someone who feels comfortable about smoking pot in his house and who does not feel he is destrqying his brain cells by doing so should feel any differently about performing the same act with his friends at a beach, under a tree in a park or in the fountain area for that matter. Those who have no desire to smoke are r '' still free not to. f W The new law is also vague, at jeast untiNegal precedents have been established (in other words, until people have been tried under it, which should happen soon). What if, during the course of a routine pull-over for a license check, a joint is found on the floor of the back seat of the car. Is that "private possession" or "public display"? The vehicle is privately owned, but traveling on public roads. What effect will the new taw have on the.person going to Bay Beach in Canada and caught with two joints in his pocket by the American border patrol? Can his car still be searched and impounded, even for a simple misdemeanor charge? Or, is that still a simple misdemeanor? Be careful smoking, especially in these next few months, when confusion about the law is bound to develop. If the man can no longer arrest you for "simple possession," he will be told to try his hardest to do you in on some other, related charge. Oh, and the next time you buy an ounce of pot (if you feel so inclined) weigh it. This new law could start a trend which would shortchange everyone out of the bottom of the bag. v, •’ * ■ - The Spectrum Vol. 28, No. 4 Friday, 8 July 1977 Editor-in-Chief — Brett Kline Managing Editor Laura Bartlett Managing Editor John H.

Six students now sit on the Association (FSA). the twelve member board. Previously, the board included only two student representatives. Two advisory committees for the Bookstore and Food Service were the other sources of student input. Four representatives from the Student Association (SA. Dennis Black, Andy Lalonde. Dan Kinley, and Alexandra Kukan), one from the Graduate Student Association (GSA) Steve Cohen, and one from Millard Fillmore College (MFC), Carol Block are tho.*summer members. In September, a new Board will be appointed with Lalonde remaining as chairman. FSA operates various University services including Food and Vending Service, the Bookstore, Check Cashing, the Ticket Office in Squire Hall, and linen services. Operating on a non-profit basis, the corporation tries to maintain low cost services for students and faculty. FSA receives no outside funding, relying only on income generated by its services. Hence, estimates fnust be made to maintain operating guidelines. For instance, Food Service operates on a 10 j>ercent “missed meal” estimate in order to keep costs down. This usually accurate system, however, was upset by last winter’s blizzard when the normal 10 percent margin was dramatically reduced causing a shortage.

This year's first offering is Joseph Papp's Naked Hamlet, his controversial adaptation of the classic tragedy; directed by Theatre Department chairman Saul Elkin, it opens next Tuesday, July 12, with performances at 8 -p.rrii nightly through JulY 24 except for Monday, July 18. The entire summer Shakespeare program is free and open to everyone.

What ha shows is illegal power, operating legally." Hamlet, on the other hand, "is the last of the hippies, struggling with his own relationship to that culture. Not in a cliched way, though. In the original production, since the Vietnam war was on, there was a lot of reference to that situation, which we've removed. Bura lot of those emotions are still present in youth, despite the fact that they're no longer marching." - New score The play is also being brought up to date by the replacement of its original score, by Hair composer Galt McDermot, with a new one by Ray Leslee, who has provided scores for many previous SUNYAB . productions. "McOermont's score was a 60's score, while Ray's draws on today's jazz, rock, and a lot of the current trends in music." Elkin hopes that this summer Shakespeare will renew the "communal spirit" engendered by last year's The Winter's Tale, the first production of the program. 'There were any number of problems weather, vandalism, wondering whether the stage would be there when we arrived. On the other hand, what happened was so wonderfully different from what we think of as 'going to the theatre.' People were coming with picnic baskets and bottles of wine, kids would pass by on bicycles, watch for awhile, and then go on it war a very free, very mixed coming together of the city's community.

They invariably describe production (largely attributable to 'Phillips himself), which, as I see it, him as an "actor's director." This is in one respect quite surprising, since his productions are usually characterized by such imaginative intelligent and over-all interpretations that one would think it had been necessary to force the individual acton to submit ip Kis general design. That he can both provide the intelligent support and guidance an actor needs and at the same time produce an extraordinarily subtle and coherent interpretation of a play in its entirety that he can, in other words, be both an actor's director and an author's director is a remarkable achievement. However, in the current production of Richard Hi he does not do both. The actor's director in him overshadows the author's director. The performances are excellent, and die staging is sure and intelligent, but the total experience of this Richard III is not the sort of fascinating and complete vision of the play to which we have become accustomed from him. has two primary characteristics: a thorough understanding of the stage-space, so that Stratford's bare platform can affectively become, through the use of lighting and blocking, a wide variety of different psychic spaces, as well as physical places; and a kind of acting that Is neither purely naturalistic nor stylized, but something in- between which can therefore move freely back and forth from the formalistic aspects of a Shakespearean play to its more naturalistic qualities, Both of these characteristics are .exemplified fully in Phillips' Richard III, and the production is a intelligent consistent and rendering of the play. But It Is not an especially interesting one. Not, at least, in comparison with Phillips' previous work (notably Maasura for Maasura, Antony and Cleopatra, and Midsummer Night's Dream), Phillips and Brian Bedford (who plays Richard) seem to have sought deliberately to tone down play's the self-conscious Stratford style theatricality, just that quality Phillips On the positive side, this which has most is production thoroughly emphasized in odier productions, ' - - Page six The Spectrum Friday, 8 July 1977 . .

There was a time (about two, three years ago) when there was no one Loggins and Messina would open for, except maybe Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, if that opportunity ever arose. Certainly it was not forseeable in '75 when Fleetwood Mac opened for Loggins and Messina's fall tour that the two bands' names would appear in reverse order on the marquee two years later. But here it is, Fleetwood Mac is one of the three biggest selling acts America has come up with (the other two the Eagles and Stevie being Wonder), and Kenny Loggins is out warming up the crowds for them. is Loggins stage, On reminiscent of Paul McCartney, finger stabbing the air in between chords, and exhibiting severe hyperactivity while the band does its instrumental break. This is an aspect unchanged from Loggins and Messina's show: Messina poker-faced and bent over his Telecaster, white Loggins ran to and from the audience, enticing them to their feet. Loggins includes some standards from that time in his set, predictably "Danny's Song" and "House at Pooh- Comer." But the new material is up-tempo and fresh, and the crowd is as pleased with "Why Do People Lie" and "I Believe In Love" as they are with the "Vahevala" encore. L&M alumnus Jon Clarke is still with Kenny, and his recorders (two at a impressive very time coordination) are sweet and high. There is also a backup vocalist in the band that serves only that purpose. When asked about how the band was formed, Loggins replied, "The same old way. A lot of time and a lot of auditions." No doubt it was strange after years of having a band that knew exactly what each member needed and what was needed from each musician. But Loggins is enjoying the experience. It must be remembered that he originally intended for Jim Messina only to sitting be He's also in. concentrating on perfecting the stage show enough to start work on another record. He says: "All the material you see tonight represents my past. The sooner I can perfect it on this level until the point where I am satisfied, then I can get on with the future." The band now, featuring lead guitar, drums, bass, keyboards, and two horn players is Loggins' first solo band, but he concedes that it isn't exactly what he would have done if Messina hadn't become a more permanent cronie. 'Things change. This is what I want to do now. This isn't exactly what I would have done then." - what I learned from my experiences than for hare. Also, I wrote that tong with the piano player, so there was no real need for me to play guitar on that number." One of the most important factors when an artist markets his product is the quality of production. Jim Messina, a wizard of the boards (history: Messina produced the Buffalo Springfield at 19) was both an advantage and disadvantage for Loggins in the beginning. Says ha: "An artist as producer tends to take his own ideas and mold them into what he thinks they should sound like. Also, it was a duo, so I couldn't give everything that I wanted to." Now with producers Phil Ram one and Bob James, Loggins can expand with the freedom of not having to worry what the finished mix will be like. When Fleetwood Mac booked this tour, they heard Kenny was available and gave him a call. Loggins says that they're old friends. We're still in the middle of our conversation when the first chords of "Say You Love Me" can be heard through the dressing room halls. Loggins leaned his ear in the direction of the music. You could hear the crowd dissolving into hysteria. It seems Loggins has primed this crowd just right. And for an artist facing the second uphill climb of his career, ho does a tremendous job. One thing that Loggins never did while with his former act was sing without a guitar in hand, That is always a facet of performing that gives the artist a lot of freedom on stage. The circumstances behind this are unusual: cut my hand "I (revealing a rather large scar to illustrate), so I spent most of 1976 learning how to work a mike without a guitar.

Nazareth, "This Flight Tonight" (A&M) The fact that Nazareth would cover anything by Joni Mitchell is farfetched, to say the least, but releasing it as a single is unbelievable. That they have failed in their attempt, however, is to be expected. In tailoring it for rock music, Nazareth has ignored or eliminated the essence of "This Flight Tonight." The nervous, uncertain delivery of Joni Mitchell, so well complemented by the original sparse arrangement, is gone. In its place are the typical, cocksure vocals -nd the solid, but all too loud, background music. It simply does not work. Lenny Whit*-, "Sweet Dreamt" (Nemperor) This jezz song is very appropriately entitled. From the delicate interplay between the electric piano, guitar and percussion in the opening bars, to the final piano notes, an atmosphere of dreaminess but not somnambulence is created and maintained. The effect is further strengthened by sultry vocals and lyrics like these: - — Concerts in July Buddy Rich V.S.O.P. Danny O'Keefe . .

Even when alone with the audience, Bedford's Richard seems to possess very little self-knowledge, is much the same vicious, small-minded schemer, the "bunch-back'd toad" the mourning Queens perceive him to be. This Richard is less a brilliantly active villian than a skulking opportunist. And considered, in purely realisitc terms, this makes sense. By the end, Richard has been reduced to a pathetic. conscience-ridden man, and it is difficult to square this in terms of strict character consistency with the man who spoke the opening soliloquy, with its total self-awareness and rejection of moral codes. It seems to me that Bedford has read the character backward from the end, and toned down the confident self-aware irony at the start in order to be psychologically consistent with this final pitiful figure. The character is therefore uniform and Bedford's performance as this uniformly loathsome man is first-rate. But I do not understand why it was considered necessary to treat Richard in such a naturalistic way, why the theatrically self-conscious qualities were blurred. It is not precisely accurate to say that Richard is self-aware at the beginning and degenerates into self-delusion at the end. Rather, his dramatic status changes. At first he is in the theater with us, directing the play. By.the end, he has been absorbed back into the play, back into history. An actor can, as Brian Bedford does, read this change simply in terms of Richard's "character." But to do so sacrifices the play's metadrama, Century Kleinhans Niagara Falls Convention Center CNE Stadium, Toronto Kleinhans —continued from page 6— • • • its basic opposition of two different modes of awareness.

Carpenters, "All You Get From Love Is A Love Song" (A&M) The greatest talent of the Carpenters has always been their ability to combinl pop and MOR arrangements without having them become too overbearing. Their track record has Jifcen remarkably consistent, although they have had a few failures along the way. This single is one of them. The keyword here is "slick." It accurately describes the background music, which would sound more appropriate for Frank Sinatra or Johnny Mathis in other words, Las Vegas music.

Other than this, however, it has very little to recommend. - Rick Wakeman, "White Rock" (A&M) After the dismal failure of No Earthly Connection, Wakeman promised that his next effort would Le more rock oriented. On "White Rock," he has lived up to his promise; now, he should concentrate on the quality of his work. "White Rock" is very reminiscent almost too reminiscent of early ELP. Its arrangement is simple (a couple of synthesizers and some percussion), but it is immediately recognizable as something by Wakeman because of his playing. Despite his many years of schooling, Rick still cannot compose for a synthesizer. What he does is simply run up and down the keyboard sometimes quickly, sometimes gradually, but never creatively. He has been doing this since Journey to the Center of the Earth, and it has become predictable and annoying. -Eugene Zielinski — John Lodge, "Natural Avenue" (London) Ostensibly a rock song, "Natural Avenue" is in trouble from its first few opening bars, where a somewhat off-key chorus herajds the many problems to come. Among these are the meaningless lyrics and simplistic melody lines that are too monotonous to sustain interest. Add to this an arrangement which is duttered but still inadequate, and the result is one of the worst songs that Lodge has written.

Listen Friend is a book of poems and drawings by Mike Finn, who will be familiar to some through his readings at and around this University. The theme is gratitude, as he tells us in an eloquent preface beings; You probably wonder why choose to speak of an issue .thatis so well-worn in our thanks giving. Yet what has Essence echoes and echoes through time. One bird call doesn't make us want to stop listening to theirsong. And one of the major tragedies to affect modern humanity seems to me to be this great loss of Gratitude; a sanctity born of experience, easy and natural, and at once profound. For with this loss have come ten thousand self-effacing and superficial hungers that can never be appeased. Readers accustomed to the obscurity, the reluctance to draw conclusions, and the tangled emotions in much contemporary poetry likely are tb feel by embarrassed the simple directness of such statements. So many poets find they cannot even use a word such as "love" or "gratitude" without either feeling a twinge of embarrassment, or giving it an ironic turn. They are more comfortable rendering the most complicated and elusive emotions that lie on the very border of what can be said. In our constaolr ..guest for novgUtips, these basics are likely to be overlooked, partly because they are almost too easily expressed. In risking the charge of sentimentality, the author shows commendable courage. — — our weekly reader / Another theme which emerges poems to clarify and enhance their message.

There's no reason for the alarm: it was still rambling over the greensward of Toronto’s Center Island, where the ducks and the seagulls wander in from the surrounding lake. It was still three days of nonrushing music, with seven continuous stages running from the late morning until 8:30, which gets everyone home at, a reasonable hour while also saving on lighting energy. Several years ago Mariposa the usual folkfest dumped procedure of importing a horde of the most popular folkies of the moment In favor of an emphasis lesser-known musicians, on Canadian especially ones. (Intersting to hole, in this light, that Mariposa was an important first step in the careers of Kate and Anna McGarriglp scheduled this year, but absent, rumor being that Anna was pregnant and Leon Redbone.) But there have never been as few "contemporary" folkies at Mariposfe as there were last weekend: David Bromberg (the McGarrigles' replacement), David Amram, Paul Siebel of "Louise" fame, and Canadian songwriter Stan Rogers were about it. Instead, there were more craftspeople, mbch more dance, and above all much more of both the younger musicians working in established folk music the traditions and the older ones who are their fountainheads. It was a big gamble for the Festival, and I think it paid off, in sharing knowledge, in establishing a real feeling of continuity over the years, certainly in a great deal of fine music. — — Rosin stars It's common practice to see people lugging guitars around at every folkfest, but this year there were more fiddles than guitars. And if the Festival had a musical focus, it was the fiddle workshop. with a really stellar lineup. There was old-time country's Tommy Jarrell, who I can only describe as eighty years young, still swinging a bow with the best. Aly Bain, of the Shetland Islands (and the Boys of the Lough), was there with his teacher, Tom Anderson, a man of great humility, knowledge, and skill. ("It's interesting to see them together," Utah Phillips remarked; "Aly's such a hot-shit fiddler, and Tom's always telling him, 'Slow down, Aly, you're losing it'." Two different French cultures were mirrored in Quebec's Louis Boudreault and Cajuns Dewey and Will Balfa. Oh yes, the greatest fiddler in the world was also there. Taciturn Jean Carignan had to be coaxed into playing two breathtaking tunes that all but stole the show from this very fast company. I remember Tom Anderson intently watching Carignan and Carignan studying Anderson just as closely. And it ended with almost a dozen fiddlers, speaking some four different languages, together on the tune every fiddler knows, "Soldier's Joy." "It's this kind of thing," Anderson said afterwards, "that can save this world from a holocaust." For sheer flukiness, my award goes to the workshop titled "Something In Common," with a pair to have unlikely very blue-eyed anything in common bluesman John Hammond and British singer Lou Killen. Unlikely unless you know that Killen, before he took up balladry and the concertina, was a glues singer himself. So Killen, Geordie accent and all, gave us Jimmie Rodgers' "T For Texas" .. . and Hammond parried with a Hank Williams tune I RH - — — — Momentous is you see, The word, spontaneity. With the bulk of the several throwing festival performers together onto a workshop and letting it go wherever it ends up, anything is likely to happen, and what does is usually delightful. It can be simply the contrasts in performers' styles, as in the acapella singing of Scotland's Norman Kennedy, Ireland's Kevin Mitchell, and England's Martin Wyndham-Read. It can be a blues songswap between harmonica hound Peg Leg Sam and Roy Bookbinder, an unexpected guest who picks a tasty guitar. Or Mike Seeger, about to solo oh guitar and reed panpipes, stops, listening to Leonard Emmanuel on another stage, lets loose with a holler meant to span the North Carolina mountains, and which pricks up ears all over the grounds. Despite the absence of the McGarrigles, and several other scheduled female performers, women's voices were hardly absent. Among the most notable were those of Celtic singer Margaret Christl; Lydia Mendoza, who's sung the music of Mexico for almost half a century; and Vera Johnson, another drop-in guest who was belting out her songs under a tree when she wasn't on stage. The crafts this year were the best I've seen at Mariposa, and the with instruments, leatherwork, weaving, looms beneath the trees, and quilts and hooked rugs hanging from the branches. There was the chip of a music here, too woodcutter's chisel blending in rhythm with the driving beat of most diverse, jewelry, — two drummers. The clouds gonna roll away The biggest problem was the weather; there was no replay of last year's Saturday cloudburst, but this year's Saturday seesawed between drizzle and cheers from the crowds when the sun peeked out. But the music accommodated this, too. The heaviest rain of the day merely accentuated Utah Phillips' tale of "railroad nights huddling in the boxcar from the rain." By the time Archie Fisher was singing, "Someone bless these seeds I sow ... till the rain comes tumbling down," the clouds were breaking. Dance has been used for centuries to bend the weather to people's will, and it surely worked on sunny, hot Sunday. All weekend, in fact, there was constantly dancing English Morris dancers, clog dance from Irish Quebec to Appalachia, — step-dance, square dancing ... (pianist Gilles Losier deserves mention for both his constantly reliable backup of a mind-boggling array of instrumentalists and for for the translating many French-speaking performers). For organized of. less those inclinations, there was ample opportunity to just shake it on out, to the blues harp of Alain' Lam ontagne, dancing in his chair as he played, and the Caribbean sounds of Oick Smith's steel drum band Syncona. Some of the people I spoke to were upset by the relative absence others of singer-songwriters, wanted more country music, more worn ansong. But there was, for me, a very welcome absence from Mariposa this year: with so much traditional music, the “music business" was almost nowhere to be seen. It was the folkiest festival I'm evety likely to see, and it was as refreshing as a sip of spring water after years of faucets. It was probably said best by Dan Womack, who painted the guitar and piano the deepest shade of - blue: "Now, I don't know how you like me just as you don'tknow how I like you but to me, this is one of the garden spots in the whole world." —Bill Mifaschietlo - — Photos by David Conant Prodigal Sun Friday, 8 July 1977 The Spectrum Page nine . . wm �IS HfHHi vx m • mb** , Mighty Jo* Young « • i J t-r m ■ writers -'X' 'fTsl!, " - V-i ' ;.■ % vl%, V % of Firstborn and The � of three women Department on residence July ot her work Room of Belle Starr hosts the blues ' ' mm Marge Piercy 1-6).

Films parallel the music; the motions of a man, a loner, a stranger, a legend, a martyr... he shines! The sights and sounds intensify, distorting and defying the senses, welcoming you to the machine, beckoning you to . , The blues is a paradoxal music in that it is a very traditional music and yet the strongest blues performances are strikingly individualistic. Mighty Joe Young, one of Chicago's premier guitarists and singers proved.that during his recent visit to the Belle Starr in Golden. Joe sings his series of Chicago standards and his own tunes, in a manner reminiscent of Bobby Bland though less forcefully. While his guitar playing carries the mark of B.B. King, it is characterized by fluency and imagination. Ken Dajdak provides strong support on keyboards and his own vocals are forceful and natural. Cornelius Boyson's bass and Willie Hayes' drums provide a strong rhythmic foundation on which Joe Young provides assured treatments of "I Wonder Why" or "The Things I Used to Do." At my request he does a nice version of Fenton Robinson's "Somebody Loan Me a Dime" which he recorded for his first album on Delmark about eight years ago. Another request brings forth a fine version of "The Thrill is Gone" which is marked by Joe's smooth singing and cutting guitar. Cash and Tyrone Davis. Willie Dixon, Bob Koester and Bruce Iglauer used Joe on numerous blues sessions including recordings by the late Magic Sam, Fenton Robinson, Otis Rush, Jimmy Dawkins. Koko Taylor and Willie Dixon himself. Hold the horns Joe used to play with horns, and when I had seen him last in Kent, Ohio in 1971 he had a bigger band. I asked if he dropped the horns because of the expenses of a larger band. He replied it wasn t the cost. "Back at that time, the kids would all figure that when they saw a supposed to be blues band with horns, they figured a band should have a harmonica. But it ain't like that, especially the type of blues that I was into. And I would get a lot of bad write-ups about the horns. The rhythm section^was always ok but the horns they just didn't understand. So I cut the horns out later and formed a good tight rhythm section. I've been with that ever since." I asked Joe about B.B. King's recent records and Johnny "Guitar" Watson. We talked about the lack of blues on the radio (especially black radio Blues moves stations). Young blacks don't listen to blues because It has been a long road for Joe to Buffalo. This they aren't exposed to it on the radio. This is partly was his first appearance in the Buffalo area. Born in since much blues is oh small labels. Joe recognizes Louisiana, Joe moved to Milwaukee with his family that "Small labels don't get distribution or radio at a very young age. It was there he started playing play." The only music soul programmed stations guitar. While there was always a guitar around his play is that of big soul artists.

It was a shock. I had just seen him group. Joe remembers, "It was a hot group. Rhythm that summer. We were together.

The only really new music on simple Little Queen is Nancy's piece, "Treat Me Well," a soft and ballad of love’s questionable future. Is she speaking her mind or Her Heart. Next album will tell the gypsy's creative fortune. True innovation is not merely the spark of afterglow with the English folk album of June Tabor and Maddy Prior entitled Silly Sisters. Seeming a bit more middle class, and therefore, more at home with the essence of spritely, chipper folk ballads than Kate and Anna McGarrigle, the Silly Sisters do not write songs. The two interpret with glad voice, traditional English folk songs. Eager to leam, the artists travel from town to town collecting the lore of folk by talking to village inhabitants. The most startling song Tabor and Prior come upon may be the pleading and lamenting of "My Husband's Got No Courage In Him:" Every night when / goes to bed / He and throw my lag right o'er him And my hand I clap between his thighs But I can't put any courage in him / wish my husband he was dead. The acapella vocals in the ballad are haunting, getting the meaning of unfulfillment across easily. To other songs like "Game of Cards" and "The Seven Wonders" are added melodeons, hurdy gurdy's, bouzoukis, bonbards and whistles. So the feelings one achieves is the familiar tone of living happily ever after. And it is foreign as Cockney history. The bridge between the two is an open, honest, sharing heart given us by Maddy Prior and June Tabor. Here the heartbeats are lovebeats, living lifebeats; I never ask for more. Buddy Holly's heart swelled, rolling with rock. The rock was thrown at Denny Laine's and Paul McCartney's ears. When Holly died, everyone expired a little; but the heart tells a tale constant, beating eternal. Laine figured this sensation out and moved to recapture the man's spirit in Holly Days. Electronically rechanneled to simulate mono, Laine and producer McCartney recorded the collection of songs in a four-track studio. Showcased are the bluesy, folksy riffs that were so simple, yet so Mery rack musician has been influenced by Holly's songs, the tinny soundlof old 78's were reconceived as are even the skips and Holly Days' songs are enhanced by some fine arrangenSents. For instance, the "why do you skip when my baby "Heargbeat" is backed by a Latin-Carribean flavor. The kisses Linda/PauTharmonies of "It's So Easy/Listen To Me" lend a Wings flavor to Holly's songs. Adding a Chipmunk's-like overdub to 'Take Your Time" although at first distracting later adds a comedic flavor. There is no doubt that Laine's voice inflects as did Holly's. Laine's voice complements Holly's and Holly's Laine's. It's too bad they can't harmonize in this life; things were so much simpler in mono. If your heart bleeds for Wings or Holly, you know what to purchase for your collection. Did your heart ever desire Percy "ThriHs" Thrillington? I hesitate to explain... Thrillington is a muzak reproduction of McCartney's Ram album. Even as a novelty item, this tends to aggravate the very marrow of my bones. Because I know McCartney had something to do with this LP. And I can swear I hear Linda in the background with the sickening synch of MOR feeling. Maybe when I'm older I'll appreciate the strings and flutes on "Monkberry Moon Delight," but right now, the obtuse, abstruse ruse of Thrillington is enough to yield heart seizure.

The phrase “a need for This attitude is expressed in* centralized facilities” is the Campus Plan numerous times, particularly at odds with what was rhetorical and designed. The academic core of both in architectural terms. It surfaces the campus is structured around repeatedly throughout the design seven major facilities, each in plans for individual buildings, grouped around its own activity footpaths and roadways. The space. Student ativities, as concept of de-centralization, quite previously detailed, are hardly centralized, simply, dominates the design. but spread must Vice-President for Facilities Planning, John Telfcr, an expert in the field of campus planning, the use of the explained de-centralization concept “Part of it was sociological. We were going through very tumultuous times,” he observed, adding that there “may have been some over-reaction” on the part of planners to collegiate unrest here and across the nation. “Some of the decisions were made with the idea that things were easier to control when they were de-centralized,” Telfer said. 1 Split functions of Union The relative ease in controlling the student population may have been at the heart of the decision to split the functions of what was Norton Union (now Squire Hall) into six different buildings on the new campus. Each structure would contain some division of network student the of and services organizations currently housed in Squire, but not a large enough proportion to qualify the building as the Student Union. The importance of a student union on a college campus cannot be understated. Squire Hall is a classic example of an ingeniously located, fully functional student pulse center. Most pedestrian routes pass by, or directly through the union. It is easily identifiable as a symbol of the students, and appropriately houses all student activities and organizations. The same building was the scene of many strike meetings and demonstration gatherings in 1969 and 1970. Jerry Rubin spoke in its lounges; The Spectrum the radical voice on campus, eminated from its third floor offices. When demonstrators were chased by riot police for breaking windows in Hayes Hall, they fled to Norton, where other students helped battle the troopers. It is not unreasonable to conclude that, had there been no student union then, there would have been fewer considerably demonstrations and less violence. , Non-subs tan dated riiethoric Elimination of a student center is carefully disguised in The Campus Plan: student Although many be most can activity functions accommodated appropriately within individual colleges or academic facilities, there is still a need for centralized facilities, particularly for activities of interest to large or specialized groups. The plan goes on to state In addition, it is vital to have a common place which maximizes the opportunities for interaction and casual meetings between the various segments of the University community. lakeside could terrace where crowds conceivably gather. Significantly, the plaza is set at an elevation fifteen feet below the surrounding academic spine area. Hence, activities on the terrace, called the “dominant open space on campus,” would not be visible % ground-level occupants of the spine. The terrace is bordered on one side by the lake and on the remaining two sides by broad flights of fifteen-foot steps., throughout six buildings. There are three separate dining facilities, located at intervals along the 2000 foot academic spine, and at least five separate libraries in the plan. Administrative offices ace split between three structures. The Talbert-Capen-Norton complex is located in the center of the academic spine area and in that sense could be considered “centralized,” yet all the services located in the complex can be found in other areas of the campus. For example, 75 percent of the University library collection is slated to be housed outside the general library in Capen. Walking impractical The Campus Plan states, in an almost cautionary tone: The Plaza can be used far large gatherings of people, but should also have areas for small, informal groups. The Plaza is about a half-mile (twenty minutes walking time) from the major residential areas. Governors and Ellicolt... hardly a desirable of the crossroads of a University. The large scale of (he campus in general makes walking between many points impractical. An estimated third of normal pedestrian trips cannot be made within a ten minute class change. This necessitates, among other things, a shuttle bus in constant service around the perimeter of the academic spine. Thus a great deal of movement between buildings will be made by bus and will not require walking through any central area or “cross-roads.” This again differs radically from the'Main Street Campus. In addition, a large number of the buildings will be connected by enclosed bridges spanning the spine area on the second and third levels. It will not be necessary to descend to the ground level to walk from some areas of the campus to others. Nor will a student tend to spend leisure time (between classes lor example) in a centralized area such as a student union. Each of the seven major facilities will have its own activity space. The residential buildings will also have extensive activity, dining and study areas, and will, as such, be largely self-contained. \ Cross-roads not central After describing a "common which maximizes place opportunities for interaction” as being “vital,” the planners did little to carry out this thought. The Campus Plan features a location termed the “University Plaza,” supposedly the “dominant open Space on campus" and the focus of the “symbolic University.” It is also referred to as the “cross-roads of the campus.” In reality, the Plaza is only one of several partial “cross-roads” and by no means the most important. It is triangular in shape and bordered on one side by Lake LaSalle. Hence no pedestrian or other traffic can approach from the northeast. It is located on the eastern edge of the academic core, approximately 1200 feet from the Talbert-Capen-Norton complex. Thus the “centralized facilities” turn out to be nearly a quarter mile from the “cross-roads” of the campus. This is radically different from the Main Street Campus, where the focus of the University, the fountain area, is adjacent to the student center, Squire Hall. The Plaza area includes a large .

The groups left behind in Squire face an uncertain future: space for them exists only in blueprints for the three unbuilt structures, and lead time for their completion is at least five years. The de-centralization concept, while at times promoting the spontaniety of small groups, large-scale works against organization of students. It also cuts deeply into communication lines between various segments of the student population. Student organizations and services will be the fragmented throughout campus. There is an untold psychological barrier, particularly in the winter, to walking between buildings in order to communicate with a person face-to-face. Members of student groups will be forced to confront many such barriers under the Campus Plan.

At least 250 of those students have been attending this University. According to Ruth Falbo of the Office of Rehabilitation some of those students may find themselves three years through a degree program and unable to finish because of this assistance being lost, Falbo explained that the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) and Basic Educational Opportunity Grant (BEOG) awards, will no longer be available. This money made it possible for many handicapped persons from families “with decent incomes” to attend a University who otherwise could not have afforded to do so. Even if a handicapped person’s family seems to be making a relatively high income, Falbo explained, the extra expenses of doctor and medication bills involved for a^ handicapped person consume a huge chunk of that income, often making higher education an impossibility without some additional financial assistance. Because of the income level, TAP and BEOG awards are often not enough. Weekend bus service is slated to begin this weekend on a two-week trial period to determine to what extent the buses are needed. Ron Stein, assistant to the President, noted that this move would throw the busing budget even further into debt, but that student arguments were valid and something had to be done. Stein attributed the initiation of Saturday and Sunday busing to the Friday. 24 June 1977 efforts of Student Association and University Union Activities Board. Roger McGill, director of Busing Services, was unsure what schedule would be used; but he said that there would probably be one bus running on either the regular A or B Weekday schedule. Crucial aid Bertha Cutcher ,of this University’s Office for the handicapped said the Office of Financial Aid has been notified that these additional students may be needing assistance in the Fall, but added that it is too early to tell how big the problem is, and how many students will need that additional money from somewhere in order to continue. Until all the students who had been receiving the aid are notified and the problem discussed with them, it is unknown how many would hot be able to return without some additional assistance. She did, however, y v estimate that about 40 percent will not be able to return in the Fall unless some tuition assistance replaces that of the Office of Rehabilitation. 1 Cutcher explained that her office, made possible by a government grant, o ftrs support services to the handicapped to help them “integrate into the mainstream of campus life,” and provided readers, note takers, and other assistants to over 100 handicapped students last year. These services will continue, she said, but her Office will be unable to offer any tuition assistance monies. - . . ' ' Still hope Both Cutcher and Falbo pointed out that there is still a chance the State Legislature will restore this program in its Supplemental Budget, which will be approved sometime this month, if enough support is shown for it. Local legislator Arthur Eve was cited as being sympathetic to the students’ plight, since his office has received numerous calls concerning the situation. However, he could not be reached for comment. Falbo added, however, that the cut appears quite definite, at least at the present time, since her office has already received its directives from Albany, and many students have already been contacted and interviewed. She said her office’s purpose is to provide training that will help in a handicapped person’s rehabilitation 2nd return to the working world, and this training often necessitates a college education. Her office is also able to provide some of the support services Cutcher mentioned, but she added that they do little good if tuition can’t be paid. The program’s total budget statewide was around $3 million, she said. Student organization space"" lacking at Amherst Campus by Jay Rosen and Mike Terpin A cloud of confusion surrounds the move of some student groups to the Amherst Campus. Neither University administrators nor students know exactly when the shift will be made, or what will happen to the organizations that must remain in Squire Hall because of lack of space at Amherst. Student organizations have been allocated square in space 29,500 feet of the Norton-Capen-Talbert complex, less than the area currently in use on the third floor of Squire. The Undergraduate, Graduate, and Millard Fillmore College student associations, along with the University Union Activities Board (UUAB) and Sub-Board I Inc. are slated to move into new offices sometime this summer. All other groups will remain in Squire for the present, although the School of Dentistry is eventually supposed to take over the building. Student space unbuilt Three of the six buildings scheduled to house student organizations have not been built and do not appear anywhere on the priority list for the restart of construction. Space for the groups left in Squire exists only in blueprints for the three unbuilt structures. Many hurdles Cutcher said she fears some of the students affected may not realize it until the Fall. Falbo pointed out, however, that the funding cut was effective immediately and extended to summer school assistance. Some students had already enrolled in summer school before the news came out, and are now faced with absorbing the costs without the financial assistance they anticipated. Cutcher feels that the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which required Universities to provide equal opportunities for handicapped people, was actually being disregarded by this cut. She concluded that for many of the students affected, loans will be the only recourse. Falbo expressed deep concern for the students themselves, and said she hated to see assistance cut off to students who “have such hurdles physically and emotionally.” — Sub-Board has also been poorly informed its moving timetable. According to Treasurer Dennis Black, exact dates “depend on whom you talk to last We’ve been given about five different days. We can’t plan on it,” he said. With other organizations staying on Main Street, Black felt Sub-Board would be “caught between two concerning campuses.” Although Sub-Board is satisfied with its space, other groups are not. Ironically, Sub-Board’s rooms have been “donated” by the other four groups because they were left out of original plans. The Graduate Student Association felt its space was insufficient, and made its views known, according to a spokesman. Director of Squire Hall James Gruber claimed he hasn’t the “foggiest idea” about long term accommodations for student activities. As far as the School of Dentistry’s move to Squire is concerned, he said, “I don’t know when and 1 don’t know how.” Student focal point He said Squire Hall will continue to function in its present capacity. Features such as the Bowling Lanes, Browsing Library and recreational room will be kept as long as they are “financially feasible.” While explaining the lack of space on Amherst, Gruber observed that “Talbert Hall was originally to be the focal point for student government and UUAB. The other three buildings would be for student organizations. However it didn’t go * The five organizations shifting to Amherst will occupy the second level of Hall. However, serious problems with air conditioning throughout the complex have prevented occupancy by students TalberJ or administrators. (SA) Student Association Executive Vice-President Andy Lalonde described the current situation as “frustrating.” His organization was originally slated for a June II move, a date which has been changed several times. The current date is July 13, according to Lalonde. Timetable troubles He described the new offices as “cramped,” adding that many have no windows. “We don’t know what’s happening,” he said, “We can’t get anything too clear out of the administration.” according to blueprint.” Gruber did not feel student organizations have “squatter’s rights” to their present space in Squire Hall. “Placement of student organizations is not a de facto right,” he observed. “From a legalistic standpoint this is not true.” Besides the air conditioning difficulties, there are other problems with the new buildings. Contractors are now in the process of knowcking out recently plastered walls between classrooms. The rooms as planned were too small for current class sizes, which have been steadily increasing as faculty lines shrink. �¥■ F' » ben L y.

If we criticize some bureaucrats, we criticize to make positive change. We do not connect criticism with breaking the system;" In further explanation of the definition of Marxists. Kuvakin said people have to have the right position regarding the working class and peaceful co-existence to be Marxists. He was asked whether peaceful co-existence itself was not in conflict with Marxism, since only world socialism could benefit the Soviet and international proletariat. He was further asked if Soviet leadership needs peaceful co-existence to prevent revolutions in the West, which might have repereusions at home. Kuvakin answered that peaceful 'v'.o-exislence was in no way contradictory to class struggle. This reflects the feelings in the U.S.S.K. that revolution can not be exported and it can only happen as a result of internal developments, lie said. £. He was questioned about the Four Fssays on Philosophy by Mao-Tse-Tung. whether he saw them as having a Marxist content. This question brought this unsolicited but interesting response. "I do not consider Mao as a creative Marxist thinker or Stalin as a Marxist theoritician. I think Mao doesn't develop anything in theory and Stalin very simply over-simplified Marxist-Leninisl Theory."

Marxists are men and women who work inside Marx, not those who try to combine Marx and Freud, as did Marcuse and others of the Frankfort School." He was then asked if the dehumanization that Marx had defined as alienation, to he relieved by socialism, still existed in the Soviet Union. Kuvakin replied that alienation is a broad phenomenon still present in the Soviet labor process. Only a Communist society can overcome alienation, he said, implying that the Soviet Union has not yet reached the stage called Communism. Kuyakjn claimed that the USSR still has many problems, such as differences in pay scales.

They have come from poor and underprivileged Belfast homes to stay for six weeks with Western New York families. “This kind of experience is our only hope for peace,” said Paul Cameron, one of the chaperones for 80 Catholic and 80 Protestant children together for the first time in peaceful coexistence. Aged nine through eleven, the kids have known nothing but bombings and shootings all their lives; for it was nine years ago that the current Protestant/Catholic conflict surfaced in Northern Ireland. The Belfast Summer Relief Program Committee of Buffalo raised $60,000 for these children to have a vacation from terrorism, for them to interact with those of other religions and sec that they need, not fight. At this age, the children are ripe for such learning. “Negative attitudes have been ingrained by the time they reach the teen years,” said Cameron, a 23 year-old teacher who has ten of his students along on the trip. He volunteered to supervise when he heard that the summer of 1975 Buffalo program would be repeated and expanded to allow 100 more children to come. - - Improved relations “The headmaster is really keen on it,” said Paul, noting that there has been a very definite improvement in Protestant/Catholic neighborhood relations since the 1975 trip. He told of a meeting that was held with all the parents and children a week before departure: “At the end we all joined hands and sang, ‘Auld Lange Syne’,” Paul added that he had been no signs of animosity between the two religious groups on the plane ride over. Ca.neron’s chaperone duties consist of “getting them here and getting them back again.” He paid only for his passport. He plans to spend his first trip out of Great Britain “meeting as many people as I can” and visiting new places. He will find downtown Buffalo very different from the city center of Belfast “We automatically get searched when entering shops, restaurants and public buildings,” Cameron commented, adding that “incendiary devices” (bombs) are often found hidden in cassette tape boxes. British soldiers armed with machine guns are always on guard. “They stop your car, ask where you are going and for how long.” We have a fine selection of gifts! I'm located in that /new. white Apt.

Living in fear Paul lives in a fairly quiet area of East Belfast, but he can recall some car bombings in his neighborhood. “The cars were just sitting in driveways and they blew up,” he said matter-of-factly. The residents of his neighborhood keep their car and house doors locked at all times. “People are afraid to travel after dark,” continued Cameron. “Nobody goes into the city at night, and nothing there is open after six.” Local pubs have become the center of social life in Belfast and seem to be chief targets of the terrorists. Paul remembers a recent incident outside one of his neighborhood pubs. Several shots rang out from a passing car, killing an acquitance of his. Firing from a moving vehicle is a common technique since it allows for a quick get-away. “The police do quite a good job of catching up with them,” he reported. “At the beginning It was hard to get witnesses. People were afraid to speak up. But now that they are tired of it and want this whole thing finished, they are coming forward.” The average jail sentence for such a killing is 10 years, he said. Cameron felt that the Peace People mostly women who have — waged marches and rallies for peace have made great strides for peace in Northern Ireland. “But we’re still very much in a rut. Many people have become resigned to the terrorism.” Sudden senseless death has become commonplace, and Paul has heard that news reports don’t even mention single shootings anymore. “I can believe it,” he declared. ’ In the beginning, he noted, news stories have reported to what “side” the victims/criminals belonged. “People objected strongly to this. The important thing was that there had been a killing.” A protest was raised and the practice was discontinued. “The vast majority of our people are peaceful,” Cameron asserted. — Sex-Ed hours Summer hours for the Sexuality Education Center (Pregnancy Counseling and Birth Control Clinic) are as follows: Monday 1-4, Tuesday & Wednesday 1-9, Thursday 10-4 and Friday 12-2.

In deciding where to build it, they considered a waterfront site in the city of Buffalo. This project was to cost, oh, about $650 million. Neediest to say, it would have been a tremendous boon to "Bn ailing neighborhood. It was eventually to be the. largest employer in the area, hence the entire city envisioned sharing in the bonanza. Well, today the winds still sweep off the lake. There is nothing to block them. The neighborhood is still ailing. The bonanza never found a home in the city. The officials went searching for greener pastures. They found them. Across the tracks of rusted steel. . . Miles from the unending rows of two and a half story wood frame dwellings. . . Far away from the concrete caverns that haunt downtown and the painful shrieks of sirens that echo off their stone walls There lay lightly wooded fields of nothingness, nestled in a thriving upper-class suburb pleasantly named Amherst. A six-lane expressway ran nearby. A two-lane highway cut across one edge. Other than that, just verdant acres of trees and grass and a creek called Ellicott. Yes, and the nights were clear and quiet. Just remember this, my girl. When you look up in the sky - you can see the stars and still not see the light. The project these officials had in mind is now the Amherst Campus, it is still largely in the minds of officials and has yet to reach $650 million. Who can blame the men for placing the campus in Amherst? They had their crystal visions. They probably live in places with names ending in “Oaks” or “Acres,” just as the author of this column does. So it goes. Sixteen paragraphs have not changed the patient's status. The City is dying. Yet, there are oases of life, gleaming distinctly in contrast. Allentown is one, consisting mostly of Buffalo State students. The University area is another. The homes in the area are well kept. The storefronts are hardly splintered, but freshly painted and always occupied. The elms still arch over the city streets like two giant, comforting pairs of arms just barely touching their leaved fingers at the crest. The oasis blooms. The area has an appeal. Not the “country manor” appeal of the suburbs, but a distinctly urban appeal, unique in the city of Buffalo. Ever so slowly, the University itself will shift to Amherst. We will flee to the suburbs. The Main Street campus will be phased out. Health Sciences will remain, but the bulk of student and faculty activity will be centered in the wilderness of - Amherst. As the lifeblood of the University area, the students, is transfused, will the neighborhood that feeds off it now be left to decompose with the rest of Buffalo? It seems so inevitable. The stores will begin to board up, the student bars will close, the coops will leave. Your Host will survive. And then the campus community can sit back in their new pastoral home and watch the corpse rot. And then we can point proudly to the sign on Maple Road that reads: STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK AT BUFFALO. Just remember that Amherst is downWfhd ffom The City, and from the School on The Hill. If this column disturbs you, it is because its author is disturbed. If it does not disturb you, then that is surely why he is disturbed. So it goes. �t >u ;! 'Romeo and Juliet' Stratford production far from Spectacular Michael love go Altogether like*, a attempting to assimilate the formalistic aspects of Elizabethan theater into purely psychology, naturalistic productions flatten out both the poetry and the psychology. There is certainly a market for simple-minded romanticism (as the success of Love Story demonstrates), but Shakespeare was trying for a good deal more, even in this relatively early play by Wing ■Spectrum Aits Staff The Stratford Ontario Shakespeare Festival production of Romeo and Juliet, directed by David William, is a thoroughly conventional rendering of the play. It does a competent enough job (although far from a spectacular one) of providing what has come to be a predictable experience. But for those whose expectations have been raised by Robin Phillips' intelligent interpretations of Shakespeare in his two years as Artistic Director of the Festival, this Romeo is likely to prove a — Romeo and Juliet is a play with a great deal of self-conscious poeticizing. Parts of i. fWturirf 'dearth ' ' rt However, we now bring a very different set of expectations to the theater, formed by the naturalistic drama'of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. And it is this which most naturalistic bias to conventional productions of Shakespeare's play succumb. They try to treat even the most formal poetic passages as if they were the drdlnary speech of breathless in the current young lovers. The result Stratford production, as in Franco Zefferelli's gauzy film of a few years ago is to reduce the play to. the level of a rather simple-minded romanticism.

Denis de Rougemont and others have argued, ultimately leads toward (and, in fact, desires) death, it seems to me that a production could make effective theatrical use of the contrast and alternation of these two worlds, and that such a production would come closer to embodying the full complexity of Shakespeare's play. Romeo and Juliet is self-consciously concerned with language; in large measure, it is a play about Romeo's name. My ideal performance would convey a sense of language having a life of its own, independent from action and "character." Such a performance might startle summer vacationers and those for whom this play has become a comfortable romantic ciiche. But, I think Futile gesture Accepting the modern conventionality youth. of the Stratford production, it is seriously The play's basic structure consists of an hampered by Richard Monette's lackluster alternation between the two poles of performance as Romeo.

He treats his lines as so many physical sounds he must utter, not as if he understood what they meant. Monette has been quite good In parts like Lucio in Measure for Measure and Pasolles in AH's Well That Ends I-Well, which call for little psychological complexity but considerable comic dexterity. He seems, however, to be out of his depth in tragedy. Marti Maraden, on the other hand, is excellent as Juliet. Her youth, energy, and wide-eyed but intelligent love are the strongest forces in this production. An equally good performance is given by Nicholas Pennell as Mercutio, rather more sharp and angry than the character is usually played, but effective - disappointment. it, to be sure, are very nattjtfali&ic, notably the characters of the Nurie and Mercutidt, But the scenes bdwecii the two young lovers are largely carried pi} Ip formal verse. They virtually speak sonnets to and about one another. In the 16th century theater, this sort of overt artifice was the rule rather than the exception, and would no more have disturbed Elizabethan spectators than spooky mood music in a horror film disturbs a modern audience. individual performers are quite good (especially Pamela Hyatt as a bitchy Lady Capulet, and Gregory Wanless as a sympathetic Benvolio), there seems to be a general assumption that more physical action and higher volume equal more emotion. This mars the otherwise fine performance of Florence Paterson as the Nurse, and infuses the production as a whole with an overabundance of frenzied and wearying activity. Still, there is not much to ripple our calm mental pools in this production, and the hustle and bustle naturally are no doubt there to signify Moving ...?

Seriously, considering that most of the general feat of military execution, a's well public never comes across good music (waiting for the media to cram it as quaint old courage, all wasted dufr to idiotic errors and at them, as everything else seems to be crammed, nowadays), this gives people in a power position the opportunity to exert their force.

You can't go back (a lesson McCoy Tyner learned falls short on its general approach on the current SupertriOs, I hope), unless you're leaving the false fronts not as short as it might have, of contrivance (what Herbie Hancock did on most of V.S.O.P. and, I but enough to make it merely an hope, what he'll do here in July). expensive, well-mounted war movie.

Contrary to the myth, the reality is that the quality music (or quality period) will sell just as much as the other stuff if allowed the space to Beauties of hell Everytime I'm ready to heave expand. Braxton, as a matter of fact, came early this year.

The Buffalo Jazz Report, however, quality, for better or, more often, whose leaders were the co-backers along with Tralfalmadore, did not worse. There's real beauty in the follow up with a story, as they usually do with visiting artists, after rhythm of thousands of Braxton and Dave Holland left, had at the time. This could have paratroops falling through the prevented an interview (although one was done with him: See sky, and quite another quality in which Spectrum 3/4/77). but what about a follow-up story? This example is the battle sequences, but the tip of the iceberg. The gentleman who really deserves the credit almost overdo their raucous for Braxton being here is the guy who pushed his LPs in Cavages; jarring hell.

Then, there's the overbearing disco 17,000 men died in nine days for air: strobe lights blipping to the "funk" accent of a DJ who does a good imitation of a WBLK D.J., with disco music between sets. Eduardo's Bemo Crockett is quoted in the aforementioned article in Gusto as saying, "I think this is the most beautiful room in the city," he says. "Not for a disco, but for live music." With due respect, Mr. Crockett may have to clarify that.statement (and Dale Anderson some others for instance on Bemo's Revilot Being cut on Jefferson and Ferry is no different from being cut on Bailey.

The Americans come boors, across as and that impression isn't helped by the insistence of Elliott Gould, Redford, Robert and Gene Hackman on playing "themselves," their normal personas. Could you take seriously any war where you knew that Gould, Redford, and Hackman were in the front lines? Why, inside of an hour Gould would have started a poker game in the Mess tent, Redford would be posing for the photosection of Gentlemen's Khaki, and Hackman would be asking confused Germans if they'd picked ever their feet in Poughkeepsie. Though lacking the dimension Hollywood never has managed to give WWII enemy officers, the Germans still assume both more dimension than our boys at the front, due largely to the mobility shown by both Hardy Kruger, as a grimly efficient tank commander, and Maximilian Schell, the chivalrous defeater of the siege of Arnhem the "bridge too far" which a skeleton force of British soldiers were unable to hold. In spite of writer Goldman's locale?). — Good, safe entertainment, with some very good people (like Mary Lou Williams) who play there at times. The price is a $2.00 drink fee the drink usually being the size of a Dixie — cup, with waitresses asking fgr fees (sternly, in one case) right in the middle of the show. No respect, and before I go on, this is another point to think about, the subject of low prices. Sure, two, three and five dollars are a low price in comparison to New York City, but New York City has a larger populace, with more people who can afford these prices and more. In New York City, there is much more room for the music (to grow or to be lost I didn't say NYC was heaven.). Does Buffalo allow breathing space for diversity to capitalize on their talent? If not, are prices of $4.00 and more justifiable (as was asked by the Association for Jazz Performance when Joe Ford played at the Tralfalmadore last week (over a week ago now)). Four dollars, when Joe, Sabu, Nasara Abadey, Tommy Schufnman hardly even made the tip. Some iceberg? Located in the Statler are the headquarters of Improv Records, Tony Bennett's label. This is a jazz label that has recorded Marian McPartland, Charlie Byrd,‘and segments of the "Fatha," the brilliant Earl Hines. They (the Statler) had Birthright, an excellent Buffalo group, there when Joe Ford was in town with them. Some of the most excellent Music ever done in thijj town was done there, yet no recording.

In fact, Sean Connery's sturdy portrayal of bne of the British ground commanders, helplessly outraged at his nightmarish situation, is the best performance in the film. As the Arnhem attack commander, abandoned by lack of support, Anthony Hopkins shows considerable spirit and strength beneath his flaky, fox-horn-blowing surface. What matters most in the vast bulk of Bridge are the smaller nuances images like a spilling of Wood onto a child's electric or a single soldier, trains, surrounded by the dead and dying, placidly palying a flute. For all its precise staging, none of the carnage is as shocking as the horror on Laurence Olivier's face as he surveys the scene of battle, or the sorrow of Liv Oilman as her family leaves their gutted home, its lawn now marked with crosses.

Prodigal Sun �Superfest—part 11: Hot time summer in the city by Joe Fernbacher * Spectrum Music Staff Starz, who wants to see stars when it's the middle of the afternoon and your tongue is swelled from the heat and bourbon you can't even ask the lady next to you if she's a cherry baby or Cheri baby or even if she reads High Society. Drifting in and scanning the mass of flesh that calls itself humanity, you wonder just what made you wanna get outta bod on a Sunday afternoon and see a rock 'n roll festival. Whatta you, a DNA Cow-person in search of a humanity /fix or an electron in search of a plus or minus. As day reaches middle age, all you remember is the voice of Zan Zandt and Lynard Skynard breathing heavily with caked whiskey and the singular howl of "Freebird" which you always thought was "Freiberg" and much more acceptable in terms of social derigeur, you think is this all worth while! As the day attains a mature old age and Ted Nugent rambles onstage asking you if you're a motherfucker and wanna get down and tear your neighbor apart in a semi-religious ritual of rock anger you say yeah and reach out your elongated fingernails to the fleshoid closest to you in an obvious display of cannibalistic joy. ted furthers the mood by insisting upon playing a guitar that's so nasty and low down destructive you cringe in decibel horror. "Cat Scratch Fever" says it all as far as Ted, or the Nug as those not so close to him call him, goes: Agents of fortune A brief respite. The day has reached the senility of the evening and you're all miscast agents of fortune awaiting the arrival, in leatherized regallia, of Blue Oyster Cult. These gnomes of mnemonic guitar assimilation and energy squash are the only reason you're here. When the mutant strains of "Godzilla" (which is from the new album currently being mixed, and available around October) bounce off the Stadium walls in a piercing wail of concrete demise you head is turned. When they sally forth into a spine numbing edition of Helen Wheels' (the essential poetess of the seventies, this girl ain't no beatnik jive like Patti Smith she's the real thing and lives next door to the Hell Angels in the city of Neu Yawk) "Tatoo Vampire" Photos by Rick Vazquez everyone goes crazy with sonic lust. The days getting beyond senility and into total collapse. Strange aerial displays of pyrotechnic madness sink info the horizon (somebody keeps yelling the H-Bomb didn't work, the H-Bomb didn't work and you wonder if he's talking about the real thing or some special effect that never hit the light of night) and just as things are getting a shade too weird for comfort you hear "Born Too Be Wild" wafting across the drug filled berosphere and you flashback to the old days and a show called Upbeat with this skinny cat named Dort Webster 'introducing John Kay and Steppenwolf. The only thing is, this "Born Too Be Wild" is better, more violent, more flesh eating, the sky's bursting into flames and you don't know why. The noise of a thousand claps buzzes through your head and people keep yelling, "Is It Over, man. Is It Over man" and you keep mumbling "No, hun, no, hunh .." Just then the Cult hit the stage and do "Don't Fear the Reaper" a hush quiets the night and everyone sits back thinking about Romeo and Juliet. The next thing you remember you're home, excited and afriad to watch television. Such is a hot time summer in the city. Watch for Michael Stanley DiMeola: Jazz improvisationist extraordinaire Roslen and Michael Stanley see unobtrusive, driving chords ala Jeff Lynne with their hands. Fingers are eyes tuned through the moveable joints of exercise perception. A tense mood pervaded this night. An eerie delay of the show, along with a boisterous crowd add to the impatient excitement. The The tune, "Nothin's Going To Change My World," glowers with fiery listenability. Repeated and repeated is the line, tantalyzing the audience with the band's hopes and dreams. Vet crowd response is minimal; the Buffalo audience is sometimes jealous of uneasy about philosophy, 'n roll, newcomers to rock paranoid and skeptical of rhythm with meaning. Time is rushed because of the wait. is neither problem This the crowd's fault. nor Stanely's The triple bill yields 30 minutes for Stanley to win the mass wait appreciation. The contributed to expected miracles by the crowd. A bit concerned, but quite understanding, Stanley tells of the plan behind concerts such as this. "The ideal is to get the band known in the area. It's hard playing third bill, especially when the group isn't given a has no stage check, sound bill reminds me of a free Delaware Park concert some years back. Lowell George's Little Feat are To introduced to Buffalo. themselves even they are just beginning the legend. Early day punk Suzy Quatro and her leather zipped open to her crotch. And Mahogany Rush. But a riot ended it all. No riot this night. Just the fear of rabid rowdiness breaking loose. The Michael Stanley Band comes from Cleveland's creative mire; like Buffalo, creativity demands mire. And as Stanley is cool, his rock 'n roll set is tight. Hooks are placed to entice the listener's ear, though they are not obnoxious so as to be sickening. Guitar solos are not extended to banality. What Stanley and his cohorts promote is fine cohesion during riffs. Jonal Prodigal Sun — Stanley stands up monitors to listen to, and must use the top-billed band's sound men. But Michael Stanley Band's harmonies are crisp and clear, unlike the shoddy, rough-edged Orleans who played the Theatre last fall Stanley is one group to watch fpr and listen to in the very near future. It is apparent the crowd's majority is here to witness the jazz guitar of Al DiMeola. Backstage is Buffalo's premiere jazz guitarist, Mike Smiarowski. He waits to talk to the vested player. The stairs leading up to the Theatre's dressing room are small, appealing in' that they house locked human energy ready to burst forth. DiMeola descends the stairs, released to burn the fire of the audience. Smiarowski stops him. Smiarowski speaks out "I want to play with you, play for you/' "OK. After the show These words are a dream for images are Smiarowski. The shared visions of a craft. All see it. DiMeola ascends to a private place while performing in front of thousands. His eyes shut, the Wizard is accrued to from the Land Of The Midnight Sun LP. DiMeola's the wizard, pointing his wand magically at the band.

Prodigal Sun �Guest Opinion* Over the past ten years, there has been a trend in the visual media depicting Vietnam Veterans as violent, of such characterizations presented by the visual media and the atrociousness of the acts committed by actors in these roles is increasing at an alarming rate. The excessively high unemployment rate which Vietnam Fra Veterans across the nation are experiencing is a direct result of the continued portrayal of Vietnam Veterans in this light. The capabilities of the television and film industries to greatly influence public opinion are well known. Employers also watch television and go to the movies, and as members of the public, they too are influenced. Recent films of this nature are the Academy Award nominee. Taxi Driver, Vigilante Force, and The Fnjorver. Taxi Driver is about a violent, pathological taxi driver who is a “Vietnam Veteran." He botches an attempt to assassinate a politician then goes on to do in a few members of a prostitution ring. In Vigilante lone.

Congress is also presently debating the effects of violent programming. These actions alone seem to indicate that the media industry is not listening to the consumer. Many claim the violent times we live in are caused by returning veterans. There is. in fact, evidence to the contrary. The Bureau of Prisons found in 1973 that the proportion of their inmates who were veterans was 32 percent. Accbfding to the Veterans Administration, 49 percent of American males are veterans. A study by Archer and Gartner exploring the myth of the violent veteran concluded (Psychology Today, Dec., 1976). "We now know that homicides generally increase after wars, and this increase cannot be explained by violent ex-soldiers." The media is irresponsible when it chobses the Vietnam Veteran minority to blame for the violent times we live in. The media is falsely perpetuating a myth of violent veterans, all to the detriment of Vietnam F.ra Veterans who are struggling for a job, an education and a ransom. meaningful life. The most recent Hollywood release is Black Sunday. In the film, (based on a novel by Thomas Harris) Bruce Dern plays the role of a psychopathic former HOW of Vietnam who pilots the Goodyear blimp. Dern’s objective is to kill a capacity Super Bowl crowd with 300,000 steel darts to be unleashed by plastic explosives. None of these films are based on fact. To depict Vietnam Veterans in these roles is without reason and unrealistic. The release of other films of a similar nature is due soon. The one which promises to be most destructive of the veterans’ image is (appropriately titled). Apocalypse Now. i On television there have been more of the same gross inaccuracies. The mafia hired dozens of “Vietnam Veterans” to spread havoc and kill in Stone Killer. As many of you have watched T.V. over the past decade, we are sure you can recount several “law and older” type programs, most often referred to as “cop shows.” In the majority, if not all of these program series, a Vietnam Vet has been portrayed in the villain s role. More often than not, he commits crimes for no monetary gain, but simply from an anti-social attitude. the media industries’ rationale for such If programming is that it “sells,” or worse yet, that this type of programming is what the public wants, we believe that their credibility no longer exists. flic present unemployment rale for veterans between the ages of 20-24 is 16.4 percent. This is two times greater than the national average. For blacks and other minority veterans the rate is even higher. The rate for older veterans is also excessive. I’residcnl Carter is to be commended for his recently announced lobs program for veterans. Hopefully, it will help to alleviate the aforementioned rates. Veterans education Benefits are deteriorating and are substandard compared to those offered to other veterans who risked their lives. The influence the media has on public opinion is a contributory factor. The education program, though useful, has become less helpful to those who utilize it. It has failed to keep pace with inflation, the education loan program is unfair, end of month payments will make it difficult to meet living expenses and the program is losing its rehabilitative aspects. (Non-payment drug-crazed, psychotic terrorists. At present, the number NYPIRG reviews groups such as the for non-punitive grades). Veterans are going to college to increase their employability and earning possibilities. If they can't get a particular job because of their image as a Vietnam Fra Vet and the way employers have been brainwashed by the media, they are wasting their time. Therefore, it is to their best interest to support those actions designed to change this “image." The Vietnam Veteran performed a difficult task in efforts Editor's note: The following letter was submitted by the New York Public Interest Research Group. had used the Small Claims Court recently. They gained an insight as to the day-to-day workings of To the Editor. findings. NYPIRG provided a means of personal involvement for students in various public interest issue areas during the 19.76-1977 school year. Students took advantage of the opportunities to work with NYPIRG to strive for reforms in areas of governmental accountability, children’s justice, consumer rights and energy conservation. They also helped their fellow students through a large-scalevoter registration and absentee ballot distribution decriminalization support campaign, marijuana efforts, students working with professional staff gained both valuable educational experiences, and the personal satisfaction of contributing towards a necessary reform. We are proud of our successful efforts on these projects last year: Almost 15,000 students were registered to vote in Western New York as a direct result of NYPIRG's students’ efforts. More than 30 per cent of them were registered at UB and Buff State. Thousands of out-of-county students were enabled to vote by absentee ballot as a result of NYPIRG’s distribution of application request forms and information. Our efforts did not end with the November election. We followed up through both legislative and judicial means with continued pressure for the right of students to register and vote at their college addresses. Countless students were in Buttalo and around the were denied their right to vote in the 1976 elections due to the confusion created by this statutory restriction. Students in Buffalo were part of a statewide effort to urge our state legislators to pass a marijuana decriminalization bill. These efforts included collecting petitions, letters, phone calls and working through media to gain both student and community support. The effectiveness of the Small C laims C ourt ot the City of Buffalo was analyzed to determine the extent to which it serves the needs ot area citizens. Students had particular interest in this project, since many of them had friends or family members who the Court, and are now in a position to publish from the violent roles in films and on television. If blacks or any other minority were continually portrayed as mentally irrational and violence prone with no counter programming, the networks would have been sued, picketed, chastised, vandalized and forced to apologize for “racist” programming. How they can get away with this type of programming regarding Vietnam Vets is a disgrace to our Country, Government, F.C.C. and the First Amendment. The rights guaranteed under the First Amendment are to provide freedom of speech and expression. The First Amendment should not be used by the media as a tool to villify, disgrace and persecute an identifiable segment of society. When the media, Under the protection of the First Amendment, can contribute to the high unemployment rate of Vietnam , Era Veterans they are abusing and prostituting that constitution which so many G.l.'s fought and died for. The visual media is, to a large extent, to blame for P.V.S. and high unemployment among Vietnam Era Veterans and must not cause the further disruption of the lives of thousands of Vietnam Era Veterans via its persistent and continuing identification of villains as Vietnam Veterans. Jay Gilpatrick President, UB Veterans Association Positive Image Campaign a - 31 profiles by Helen Swede SA Publicity Chairperson their Buffalo students took part in a statewide in-depth study of the operations of New York’s child care system. We studied the extent to which public agencies around the state supervise and monitor their placements to ensure adequate care, education, and treatment for their children. Students visited Family Courts, Social Services Departments, schools, and the institutions into which they place their children throughout Western New York. They gained extensive knowledge of its structure and operations by talking to people involved at all levels of the system. A particular focus was upon the out-of-state placement of children by these public agencies. Our findings of their involvement in this controversial practice have been a major contributing factor in drafting of the “Out-of-State Child Placement Act of 1977” in the State legislature. A published report will help to enlighten all concerned citizens about the controversial issue. Students teamed up with community leaders to fight for rebates from National Fuel Gas after the incredibly high heating bills last winter. We put constant pressure on the Public Service Commission in Albany to call for open hearings to discuss the need for rebates to NFG customers based on their excessive profits all winter. worked in an alternate energy Students laboratory at the Amherst campus. They applied their interests and skills in constructing various alternative energy •systems, including windmills and solar panels. These are a sampling of the projects that UB were involved in this year with NVIMRG. Industry Reform, Others funeral included: Initiatives and Recall, f reedom of Information Law Compliance Study, Decommissioning of Nuclear Power plants and Cogeneration ol Power. In most cases, students learned a great deal and contributed directly to pressure for legislative reform in Albany. Let's make next semester even biller. The projects we work on are up to students to determine. Join us and get involved! students war considered ugly by most of the American people. The Vets did their job in response to the supposedly legitimate orders of those holding the most powerful offices in the country. When the Vietnam Era Veteran returned to civilian life he was shunned by society. This unique situation, combined with the readjustment problems resulting from being shunned, was dubbed the Post Vietnam Syndrome (P.V.S.) P.V.S. is in a vicious cycle with veterans’ unemployment. The first problem the Vietnam Era Veteran faces is that of finding a job. The inabSity to find a job is a casual factor underlying P.V.S. The longer the veteran is without a job, the greater the effect of P.V.S. upon him. The more the veteran is affected with P.V.S., the more difficult time the veteran has subsequently finding a job. since he has not been interacting with the “real world.” The media (see illustration) are perpetuating this cycle with their grossly unfair depictions of the Vietnam Veteran, since employers and society are being influenced negatively toward Vietnam Era Veterans. Do you know what it is like to be asked by a close relative; “Are you going to have flashbacks?” The Federal government and some states’ agencies have provided programs to employ and educate Vietnam Era Veterans, thereby helping to facilitate re-entry into society. This helps to relieve the symptoms of the problem, but the problem will persist unless the cause is cured. The prescription; Remove “Vietnam Veterans” The Student Association (SA) is playing an integral role in the planning and implementation of Freshmen Orientation this summer. the SA representatives working on with the Orientation staff is SA Director of Student Affairs Paul Glauber. He is presently compiling the orientation handbook which will be distributed at the eleven orientation sessions. The handbook is an overall description of , University functions from the students’ viewpoint. Glauber is also arranging the busing of students from the New York City area for orientation. SA is also involved in the “Activities Workshop” presented on the first night of orientation. Various student clubs, organizations, publications and other programs funded by the mandatory fees will be described. Included will be an SA workshop. With assistance from other SA members, Glauber is preparing the workshop in order to introduce SA activities and services to the incoming freshman. The workshop will present the basic structure of student Among conjunction government at this University discussing such items fee allocations, SA budget procedures and various SA task forces. Commuter Council Co-ordinator Cheryl McNerny will present a commuter workshop on the second night of programming. She will discuss aspects of commuter life along with SA’s commuter activities. Lori Pasternak adds to SA’s commuter representation as one of the thirteen orientation aides. Also, several orientation Resident Advisors are members of SA including l.xecutive Vice-President as mandatory Andy Lalonde. Through involvement in orientation, SA hopes to facilitate the new students’ adaptation of the campus environment by familiarizing them to student government activities at this University. Next fall student clubs will he located on separate campuses, thereby precluding students from having one center of student life. Therefore. SA’s participation in this summer's orientation is particularly important for incoming freshmen so they may acquaint themselves with their new school a University with two campuses and hut one student union.

Would you be willing to play rightfield for the Yankees and hustle on every play? 1 certainly would. Apparently, Reggie Jackson is not. He isn’t asking for mora money, so that’s not the reason he didn’t hustle on Jim Rice’s pop fly' on Saturday. Perhaps he was thinking of what the candy bar named after him would be called; how does “Oh, Reggie” sound to you? “E Reggie” sounds more like it. In any event, Reggie didn’t hustle, and Rice's fly dropped for a double. Dropped in front of him for a double. When" was the last time that happened? Yankee manager Billy Martin sent Paul Blair to play rightfield, Jackson stormed ihto the dugout, embarrassed by the move, and the two nearly wound up in a fight. Aren’t professional sports fun these days? Aren’t you thrilled every time a “superstar” like Jackson or Tom Seaver complains about something? Don’t you foam at the mouth with excitement every time Vida Blue sues Charlie Finley and vice versa? - • - roster.

Who wins and who loses and why are rapidly losing importance. Ever since the Julius Erving show ended, the most played-up sports events have been “superstars” feuding and Seattle Slew. Now even Slew is gone from the sports pages. I’m fed up with stars asking to renegotiate their high-priced contract and crying in public about it.

In Italy, it’s a “ciclomotori;” the French call it “mobilctte.” Here in Buffalo, the “moped” craze has taken off through a trail of red tape and is holding its own at speed limits of 17 and 30 miles per hour. “If you can ride a bike, you’ can ride a moped!” read the ads. Actually, mopedaling is easier than bicycling, because no energy is required by the rider. Simply twist the clutch and gas handles and you’re off. “I get just as big a thrill riding my moped as when I drive a big bike,” sayd Skip Giambrone, who has motorcycled for eleven years. “It’s the same free and easy feeling.” The inoped. named for motor/pedal, was bom after World War II in Italy where high gas prices and narrow, crowded streets to contributed its immediate success. Today mopeds major are a mode . of transportation in the large cities of Europe and for good reason since most get 140-200 miles per gallon of gas. “You can’t beat it for, city driving,” says Chuck Minneci “I’ll drive about 180 miles in two weeks and spend 60 cents.” Giambrone and Minneci opened the doors of Moped Unlimited in Buffalo on June 8th and sold five mopeds the first week. drives in their parking lot. The moped s are attractive in bright colOft,>«sembling a cross between a bike andamotorcycle. They are extremely light and easy to handle, riding much like a mini bike or a small motorcycle. Gears are automatic and there are no batteries. The lights and horn are powered by magneto, which generates electricity. “It’s only the pedals and its 30 mile per hour maximum that distinguish it ' from motorcycle,” says Giambrone. Some mopeds, such as the Puch from Austria, only reach 17 miles per hour. These can be driven on the street by any licenced driver over sixteen and require no license plate, insurance or helmet. The faster mopeds require all of the above, and this often causes considerable confusion. The driver of a moped need not full-power register his vehicle if he drives at 17 mph or less. How are police going to check up on this, or are they? “The cops don’t know what to do at this point,"i said one new moped owner, whose license expired last month. He does not plan t>n renewing it, terming mopedaling “hassle-free.” , Student mopedalers Many get some exercise by pedaling with the motor, which makes tor better gas mileage. It is not very easy or efficient to use the cjfcle by pedaling alone; even Giambrone admits: “You really have to chop it to get moving.” Mopedaling would seem to be ideal for students at this university who jnust commute from one campus to another. Virtually pollution-free, the moped saves energy, gas and money. Moped insurance costs far less than that for automobiles, totalling $26 for women and $54 for single males under 25 per six months. Fire and theft coverage is - . fantastic,” beams Paglia, founder of Moped Distributors, which operates out of the Chamber of Commerce Building in downtown Buffalo. He plans to expand the availability of his mopeds to many of the 27 states in which mopeds are legal. “Within the next three months we have 5,000 mopeds coming in from Italy,” Paglia reports. 100,000 mopeds were sold in the U.S. last year and sales are expected to double in 1977. While the sleek, bright little moped may seem to attract wild-eyed youth, it has gained a large adult constituency. “It’s the most fun I’ve had since I discovered downhill skiing.” sayd 47-year-old Madeleine Howland. M4- mopeds are as practical Ss they are fun. “I’m giving Dad his own moped for Father’s Day,” said one young man, “maybe then he’ll stop riding mine.” The Spectrum - also located on Bailey Avenue! 12 Austrian They received mopeds last Friday and sold five within three days. Right off the boat Mopeds were legalized on January 1 this year, after two and one half years of lobbying by men such as Pat Paglia, who arranged for moped export from Italy, and has exclusive distribution rights in the United States and Canada for New York’s students helped Carter win Does Jimmy Carter owe his presidential victory to the students of New York? In a manner of speaking, yes. Had no students voted last November, the man from Plains, Ga. would have lost the state by 70,000 votes, ind‘hence its bldek of electoral college votes. This is according 1 to a just published survey of student voters conducted by the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG). According to the poll, 68 percent of students in the state voted in the election, versus SS percent of the general population. Paul Hudson, NYPIRG attorney, commented, “The political apathy of the early aeventies appears to be ending... The student or youth vote has finally come of age. Our best estimate is that three times as many students voted in November of 1976 than have ever voted before in the state.” New York students went to Carter by a two to one margin over Gerald Ford (Carter 61 percent, Ford 31 percent, others 8 percent). The victor carried the state by less than 290,000 votes, and thus clearly needed the 360,000 tallies he received from students. Absentee ballots were used extensively, approximately half the students voting by mail. infiucncial source three makes of mopeds. “The acceptance has been 'NYPIRG’ha* been working to repeal a state law that requires students to vote where their parents reside through absentee ballots. The stste-wide consumer group feels the law makes it more difficult for students to make their political preferences felt. NYPIRG staff attorney, Ron Wainrib, commented, “Our elected officials will finally see that students are indeed an influencial source of votes. The impact of students’ opinions on the legislative process has been given an enormous boost.” NYPIRG is continuing its voter registration efforts this summer by providing registration forms in this summer’s orientation packets. Forms will be available throughout the summer in the NYPIRG offices in 311 Squire HaU and Room 120 MFC at the Ellicott complex. Vol. 28, No. 2 Friday, 17 June 1977 State University of New York at Buffalo Delia hopeful Fate of new gym unclear by Join H. Rein made this week to advance the gym’s place on the Iftdder end enure its early construction should the Federal money fall through. He has claimed though, that Hie is “very happy and confident that Phase I will go up on schedule.*’ priority Managing Editor Construction on Phase I of the Amherst Gym will begin no later than April 1976 if at least SI7.2 million in Federal Capital Construction Funds is appropriated by New York Governor Hugh Carey. If the money is not mandated by the Governor, the future of the gym can best be termed uncertain, according to Student Association (SA) President Dennis Delia. Delia, along with University President Robert Ketter, conferred with state legislators and members of the State University Construction Fund (SUCF) in Albany last week and returned with “mixed feelings.” He claimed drat he ahd Ketter had achieved considerable gains in the construction effort but admitted that he did encounter some disappointments, most importantly the realization that work on Phase II .of the gym will be delayed. The two phases cannot be built simultaneously, Delia explained, because money required for the planning of Phase II has not been appropriated. , , r i More money needed i, The problem surrounding the starting date for construction of Phase. 1 is due to die questionable availability of Federal funds. Governor Carey baa at his disposal a total of ISO million in these funds which are to be spent at his discretion. Ketter has asked the Governor for a minimum of SI7:2 million, while his highest request is for $30.8 million. SUNY at Buffalo has already secured S1S.6 in Housing Finance Agency Bonds (HFA) purchased by the firm of Hornblower and Weeks, and die additional Federal money would allow the University to begin work on six projects, including the gym. However, if the money from the Governor’s office is not allocated to Buffalo, the future of the gym is unclear. Although Ketter, at Delia’s urgings, has repeatedly claimed that the Amherst Gym is the “number one priority” and, in fact, has stated so in a letter written by Ketter and the bi-partisan delegation of Western New York legislators, there are indeed four protects which precede the gym on the priority,Jflst. If the federal funds are not secured,' those four projects (the Maintenance and Repair Facility, a Biology Laboratory Greenhouse, Interior Roads and Parking Lots and a Utility System) are slated to begin before the gym. It would therefore appear that the gym is in fact not the “number one priority” but number five. Delia, however, stressed that every effort would be Lauds Ketter If t$e funds are made available, Delia said, “We will be in very good shape.” The four aforementioned projects will be constructed as will Phase I of the gym. In addition, work will begin on either the Instructional Communication Center (audio-visual center) or the Music and Chamber Hall. The following is a list of the estimated construction costs of die seven projects: Maintenance Shop and Repair Facility $5.3 Laboratory million; v Biology Greenhouse $1.8 $5810,000; Interior Roads and Parking Lots million: Utility System 84.3 million; Phase I of dm Amherst Gym $9.1 million; Instructional Commuakatkm Center $4.4 mBUon; Music and Chamber Hall $8.3 million. “We aaust fulfill our dedication to higher education,” Doha said. “We have to get the planning appropriation.” The SA President tended Wte* "The administration la doing a vqiy commendable job. We agree completely on me new buddings being built Our only disagreement at this point concerns the appropriation of space in the present buildings.” He admitted that problems will be encountered in the next few years, lamenting, “Not one department will be happy with the space it - - — - - - — fetter. gets.” Delia expressed Satisfaction with the progress made at the meeting. He said he and Ketter successfully heightened the awareness of the Western New York legislators regarding the “dire" situation this University faces. He was also pleased with the belief that he bad nude igroads with the State Division of the Budget (DOB) am) said he expected immediateand instant results. In his report to the legislators, Ketter maintained that many of the plans for both the Amherst and Main Street campuses could still be carried out at original cost. Wrote Ketter: “Despite several delays and an estimated inflation rate of 10 to 20 percent in construction costs, the University can still build out the Amherst Campus and rehabilitate the Main Street Campus for the health service schools with the original construction ceiling of $650 million.” �iH .WfF Qj«n| Shocking news After a long and circuitous countdown, the Buffalo mayorat race jeached lift-off last week as the Democratic Patty:olpcialiy endorsed presen ty deputy .mayor Leslie G.

NYPIRG investigates out-of-state troubled children’s facilities by Amy Miler Spectrum Staff Writer -VuquM DOB's help needed Parcel B may rise in Fall by Jay Rosen Special Features Editor of their potential market. Original planners of the campus envisioned 50,000 students, a figure which has shrunk considerably over the years. In any event, the foundation can now only wait for the lease to come through in final form. “Until that lease is signed, sealed and delivered, we are unable to do anything,” Carter admitted. Once the lease is finalized and a developer selected, design work can begin almost immediately. According to DeSantis, this type of commercial construction can be designed and blueprinted much quicker than academic-type buildings. This makes a completion date in 1978 reasonable. “We could have part of it operational by next fall.” Carter speculated. The long awaited roar of dump trucks and diggers may be heard by next fall on the Amherst Campus as the plans for a commercial development on Parcel B solidify. Ground breaking for the project will be an important step in the uphill climb towards developing the campus into a self-contained unit. The construct is slated to include various stores, markets, a bank and other services in,a commercial mall-type setting. Attorneys for the SUNY system are working out the details of a lease which would be acceptable to the State’s Division of Budget (DOB) and to the UB foundation, an organization of University alumnus High rental rates and area business leaders that has formulated plans One factor that may complicate design and for Parcel increase costs is the stipulation that the development John Carter, chairman of the project's Board of must conform architecturally to the rest of the Directors, hopes the lease will be written and signed Amherst Campus. Attention grabbing signs will be by July 1. Selection of a private developer could be banned, and unlike other area malls, the project completed by August I and, if all goes well, ground must be visually appealing from all viewing angles, could be broken sometirne in September. including from above, as occupants of Baldy and Gemens Halls will be able to look down on the Construction costs rising construct.

Carter envisions no problems in eventually almost two years ago. An initial lease has existed for over a year.

Tuition costs at the private facilities are rising at triple the rate of similar institutions available in New York State despite the less stringent licensing laws and child care regulations of other states. Figures on both the numbers of children placed and the dollars spent to support them are steadily increasing. Locally, the Erie County Department of Social Services and Family Services accounts for more out of state placements than any other county outside of New York City. The New York Public Interest Research Group, Inc. (NYPIRG) has been investigating the problem since Fall 1976. According to NYPIRG staff attorney, Ronald Wainrib, “The out-of-state placement phenomena is growing out of control and unless something is done soon to create appropriate programs or increase control over the placements made out of state, more kids will be lost in the bureaucratic maze.” ' Failed inspection Wainrib testified before a State Assembly Committee investigating the matter last month that the Erie County Department of Social Services and Family Court has placed 20 children in institutions operated throughout the country by the Youth Rehabilitation Center, Inc., also known as "Hdgemeade.” These 20 placements cost Erie County taxpayers approximately 5300,000 annually, exclusive of plane fares and phone bills. An inspection of one Edgeraeade facility in Virginia by the state of New Jersey revealed that: “The school does not function as a special education program, according to guidelines established by the New Jersey Department of Education.” The State of New York has approved placement of children in the company’s facilities around the - , country. Erie County officials make on-site visits to these insitutions only when bringing new children there. “They are not funded by Erie County to travel to facilities outside of Western New York for other purposes,” testified Waiprib. At least SO other children from the area are currently being considered for placement across the country. These children range in age from five to 18 and include the severely physically and mentally handicapped, emotionally disturbed and delinquents. ■ Legislation pending Wainrib expressed concern over the lack of interstate coordination between officials, inadequate monitoring and supervision of the children's progress, and overall quality of treatment. A bill pending before a state assembly committee is a direct result of the NYPIRG investigation. It would promote the creation of state programs for handicapped and troubled children, create an out of state placement bureau and develop standards for out of state facilities. Wainrib has suggested “mandatory, unannounced on-site inspections by our own agencies' officials at least once a year.” He added that this is not specified in the bill. National industry The NYPIRG attorney felt that, “out of state placements are symbolic of the lack of priority for child care and for education of handicapped children.” He pointed to a “national, industry that has grown significantly in the last few years in response to the marketing of these children.” Wainrib was critical of sending children to states that don’t meet New York’s standards of education. NYPIRG has been one»df the chief guardians of the welfare of handicapped and troubled children. A comprehensive report, documenting the investigation of the out of state placement issue, will be available soon in the NYPIRG office. The consumer group has expressed the need for legislative support and public awareness of the issue. Letters of support for the bill are urged.

University Health Service is open on Main Street until 4:30 p.m. during the week and is closed throughout the weekend. At Ellicott, the situation is basically the same, with service terminating at 4 p.m' daily and closing completely on the weekend. Director of Health Services M. Luther Musselman has cited budget cuts of $12,000 as the reason for the limited service. The services offered here are less than limited; they are minimal. Summer school students are now being housed in Ellicott for the first time. According to Dinctor of Nurses, Virginia Troy, Musselman foresaw a possible conflict in lack, of service, and wrote to Ketter in April asking for more money and more nurses, requests which were turned down. What Musselman possibly foresaw, and what Ketter obviously did not. is that at the same time that no health service is being offered, nor are there any buses to get out of Ellicott on the weekend.

Indeed, many will further inform you that the Stills-Young outings were in reality YOUNG-stills, an embarrassment for the blonde guitar man, once efficient enough to be considered one of the world's top ten by Eric Clapton, Only abouj five or six years ago, that was a hell of a compliment, Bands who now bring in more millions with one record than CSN might bring in with a collection of ten of their solo projects idolized the group. actively seeking the combustive chemistry for which only they had the formula. More than once I've heard performers retell their meeting with Crosby at the Troubadour when they first in sunstreaked Los arrived Angeles. Observed with these encounters can Be viewed as a type of omen. But back then, it was a sort of indicator as to Mho was setting the standards, and who was keeping up with them. And there remains little doubt in any faithful camp follower's mind that CSN (with or without the Young) darkly humorous entwined the roots of the Byrds, Springfield, and Hollies and produced the style that is still aspired by Frye-booted to Martin-pickers in wooden bars, Eagles. America, Firefall, some I Poco, Loggins and Messina imagine some of the Friday nighe audience's younger members are rather unaware how much influence CSN had on that broad scope of American music loosely labeled folk and/or country rock, And on behalf of that sector of spirited the audience, their reception proved that CSN are still doing it; or maybe that should read can,still do it. They are as applicable with "Our House" now as they were in front of the Four Way Street audiences, As a concrete confirmation of all this fanatical noise, Crosby, Stills, and Nash have produced the album that never made it. following Reunion '74. And their concert was a protrayal of the California ethos is one of the purer senses of the term. ’ — Acoustic magic A visible reinforcement of this point was the performance of the new single. It was in "Just a Song Before I Go" that the three part harmonies first registered their full impact. And even author Graham Nash's lyric implied the wistful warning advised in such vintage numbers as "Teach Your Children:" Just a song before / go A lesson to be learned Travelin' the speed of sound It's easy to get burned. And Stephen Stills, who will admit to putting out a string of none-too-exciting records, was lead, solid electric playing performance in the style once so admired by Clapton (Hendrix, too.). This set saw Crosby (who was all red and brown, as usual) with twelve string Gibson electric, and Nash behind the piano for a surprising rendition of "I Used to be a King." But what I really anticipated was the acoustic set. Like to sing? I used to revel in just the sight of any of CSN's aged Martins (Old Martins never die, they just mellow out). Stephen Stills is known to travel with no less than thirty guitars at a time, and the usual closet's worth of rosewood, mahogany, and spruce made my kleptomaniacal urge make a temporary appearance. The’ last time I saw Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, I would have passed up the rest of the acoustic set for just "Judy Blue Eyes." But that was the opener Friday, and although the audience got to its feet a good two minutes before the end of the number, I thought that there would have to be more to it than just “Judy." What they followed up "Judy" with as the vocal penetrating intation I've ever seen. The isitely simple "You Don't t to Cry" generated pure ince. It was easily the most 'ive acoustic number I've seen them perform. The lienee saw Stills at his acoustic with Robert Johnson's ossroads" into Chuck Berry's Can't Catch Me." Steve's lot of guitars, sure, but he damn well does know how to play them. "Do you like to sing?" asked Nash. And that audience sang every word of "Our House" right back to him. The acoustic set segued back into electric with a film on Whales, produced for Nash's "Wind On The Water." Rescuing the whales from extinction is one of Crosby and Nash's favorite outside projects, and the audience was impressed by whales' personal form of ballet. The band for the electric sets returned at this point. Still* brought along bassist George Perry, and Joe Vitale for drums. a keyboardman was one Mr. Craig Doerge. Doerge is notorious for session work with almost all of LA. The last set featured “Carry On" in shortened form as the close. They fulfilled their obligation for "Wooden Ships" as an encore. Again, in the electric set, the delicate balance of voices and electricity was showering sparks. 'Teach Your Children" brought them back a second time, followed by the final "Find the Cost of Freedom." The express chugged to a stop and CSN got off. The audience trailed out, fobking for beers on Elmwood and Allen. Notedly, present, Buffalo is a town that enjoys its rock and roll, to say the least. The hugest bill of the summer so far, Superfest, features Blue Oyster Cult, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Tod Nugent, and Starz. That's line-up. quite weighty a Aerosmith is selling fast and Kiss chose Buffalo to publish their first comic. But CSN carried the weight without the decibel level. It would have been a little more disappointing than usual if the concert didn't work that well. But it succeeded to the point that it didn't need allowances made to be acceptable. I asked myself in amazement not how they can do it, but why it still works. But the encore can explain: Don't you ever ask them why If they told you you would cry So just look at them and sigh. .. �Artpark's free workshops slated to kick-off this month Artpark's highly successful series „of free outdoor performances for children and adults returns to Lewiston, N.Y, for a third season, beginning June 29 and continuing throughout the summer.

Prodigal Sun �'All's Well That Ends by Michael Wing Spectrum Staff Writer Shakespeare's All's Well That Ends Well is a difficult play with an ironic title, We seem to be asked to rejoice in the heroine's acquisition through trickery of a husband patently unworthy of her. In Shakespeare's source a story by Bocaccio the premises were those of fabliaux, a moral questions about the plot devides were not raised. But Shakespeare does everything he can to raise such questions by making his hero Bertram arrogant, snobbish, cruel, superficial, and insensitive. Hence, as in another of the so-called "problem plays," Measure for Measure, there is a gap between plot resolution and — — — emotional satisfaction. It is difficult to know, therefore, whether or not this play can be effectively staged. It is even more problematic for the directpr than Measure for Measure because we are forced to endure for most of the play's duration the awareness of a discrepancy between what is happening and what we want to happen. In Measure for Measure this awareness Only comes into focus at the end. However, having acknowledged the difficulty of the play, the fact remaini that it simply will not do to deal with the problems by just ignoring them. Yet that is just what David Jones has done, ih his production at the Stratford (Ontario) Shakespeare Festival. He has treated AH's Well as if it were a festive comedy, and has done everything he could to tone down Bertram's nastiness. The result is rather bland. The driving force in the play its ironic undercutting of its own plot has been defused, and although the experience is not unpleasant, neither is it genuinely celebratory. AH’s Well That Ends Well can be wrenched into the semblance of a festive comedy, but it cannot be (Trade into a very good one. —Courtesy Robert C. Ragsdale, a.r.p.s. — but almost to require such imagery, yet Shakespeare scrupulously avoids language which would relate Helena's ministrations to nature. They are exclusively supernatural, miraculous, unearthly. i ‘% — Cleansing of characters Subversion of mood and content David Jones, who is Artistic Director of England's prestigious Royal Shakespeare Company at the Aldwych in London, seems to have a for deflecting Shakespeare's comedies from their true courses. In his Stratford Twelfth Night in 1975, he drained the play of most of its joy, injecting an aggressive and apparently purposeless malignity into almost every character's behavior. It can, of course, be interesting to bring out qualities of a play which usually remain subliminal (as RoeejftiUieu** igl briM*aatay m&v* years at Stratford). But it rranother thing entirely to deprive a play of its natural strengths to no apparent end. This year's AH's Well is certainly much better than Twelfth Night was, but it still reflects the same willful subversion of the manifest mood apd content of the play as did the earlier production. If he wanted an unpleasant play in 1975, why didn't he do All’s Well then? And if he wanted a festive comedy this year, why choose All's Well now? The strangeness of this production's attempt to turn the play into a romantic comedy is nowhere more evident than in the attempt to impose a seasonal pattern. There is one speech in the play which can be used to support this. It is Helen's in IV iv; But with the word the time will bring on Summer, Whenbriers shall have leaves as well as thorns. And be as sweet as sharp. But surely this is rather slim support. And there is nothing else in the play to suggest the seasonal pattern of birth-death-renewal which almost always characterizes Shakespearean comedy and romance. Helena's miraculous revival of the King's health would seem not only to invite Thus, it is rather a weak device to suggest, as this production does, a seasonal progress from autumn (fallen leaves on the stage at the beginning, which the Clown ostentatiously draws attention to by sweeping them off, ad infinitum), to winter (an old withered tree, a campfire, and the actors holding their cloaks tightly about them, in Act IV), to Spring (a long green garland hung along the balcony in the last scene). A director can put these properties onstage, but if they fipd no .significant support from the play's language or action, duty have little effect; *J|. lt)9V justsit And then there is the cleansing of Bertram's character. As played by Nicholas Pennell (an excellent actor), he is impetuous youthful arrogant, than and rather undisciplined rather than shallow andcruel. When the King (very well played by William Hutt) tries to persuade Bertram of Helena's worth, despite her lowly social status, his replies are: "A poor physician's daughter my wife!'' and "I cannot love her, nor will strive to do't." Pennell delivers these nasty lines with an expression of confusion, pleading, and hurt, suggesting that it is his circumstances and not his nature that produces his response. Later when Helena asks for a kiss on parting, the text clearly indicates Bertram’s refusal; "Strangers and foes do sunder and not kiss,” says Helena. Bertram replies, "I pray you, stay not, but in haste to horse." (II v) They do kiss But in this production they do kiss, and very affectionately. Bertram's subsequent desertion is thus presented as his youthful will overcoming his better nature. And at the end, when Bertram's illicit wooing of Diana is exposed and he tries to lie his way out of it by slandering her, the distasteful effect of this (which, as A.P. Rossiter says, nails down our view of Bertram as unredeemable) is mitigated by the Stratford production's treatment of Diana. She is played by Barbara Stephen as coy, light-hearted, and ironic, someone whose primary motive for action is the enjoyment of playing a trick, and who therefore cannot be deeply hurt. Because she does not take Bertram’s vicious accusations seriously, we are encouraged not to do so. This production makes us indifferent to Bertram. Diluting a character's nastiness does not necessarily leave us with a likeable character, merely a non-nasty one. What the production does to Helena is rather more problematic. She seems incomprehensible, although she admittedly might still be in a production truer to the play's spirit. Our relation fo the character is odd, and is the core of the play's strangeness. We identify with her from the start, and share her perspective as the chief director-xif the play's action throughout. Yet half-way through, when Bertram coldly refuses her. we lose a clfear sense of her motivation in actively continuing to pursue him. While we still participate in her mechanical superiority over the other characters, we cease to understand her thoughts and feelings. ■ It might ' seem that softening Bertram's character would make the task of the actress playing Helena easier. If he is more desirable, her motivation becomes clearer. The problem is Bertram becomes bland rather than attractive when his nastiness is toned down. Therefore, Helena's central position and energetic activity is still without convincing direction, and loses even the clearness of its contrast with Bertram's recalcitrance. Too much gesturing Martha Henry is an actress of control and meticulous technique rather than great emotional force.

And, I would suspect, when a production supplies warmth, her rather formal style can probably assume the coloration of the whole. But this production neither provides her with a character who must visibly struggle to contain her emotions nor with a genuinely festive pattern. She is asked to carry the action largely by herself, and one is aware of a less than successful struggle on her part to fill the void left by the departing text (and, perhaps, in the text itself). She is left to try to generate feelings of depth and continuity, by herself, and cannot accomplish it. There is too much gesturing and overt energy for too little emotional impact.

"Presence" Would only be compensation for lack of coherence. l A ;v a temporary ' ‘ Totality lacked force Individual Scenes are well directed and reasonably effective as self-contained units, even though they do not combine to create a total effect. And this acting is fine throughout the large cast, with particularly good performances being turned in by William Hutt (as a melancholy but kindly King), Margaret Tyzack (as the Countess), Richard Monette (as Parolles; he is good at these comedy-of-humors parts), and Leslie Yeo (as Lafew). Upon leaving the theater I heard someone remark that she “enjoyed every minute of it," and, in a sense, I did, too. "Every minute" was entertaining; it was the totality that lacked force. If one came to this production knowing nothing about the play, I suppose it would simply seem comedy. But that it one of Shakespeare'* lesser effort* it do. trying was to not, in fact, what he As Robin Phillips (Artistic Director of the Festival) Measure for Measure demonstrated in his productiontheof"problem plays can be before, year the last year and full moral and their emotional in stage on presented complexity. If I had not seen Phillips' work, I might not have known whether the difficulties of such a play could be adequately embodied on the contemporary stage. But, having seen it, I am sure that they can be. It may be that All's Well is even a harder nut to crack than Measure for Measure and Troilus and Cressida. Rossiter sees it as a play which is inconclusive because Shakespeare's feelings at the time he wrote it were unresolved. If that is the case, it probably can never be satisfactorily staged without the sort of simplification Jones has imposed. But I would like to see someone like Phillips try his hand at it before I relegate it to that secondary status.

Say Goodbye To Hollywood (Cleveland Inter national/Epic) .There is no better way to introduce a singles column. Say Goodbye to Hollywood marks toe triumphant return of teen dream queen Ronnie Spector to toe world of music. This is no sellout effort; It doesn't cater to any trend, past or present, yet it is as characteristic of the late seventies as "Be My Baby" was of the early sixties. Ronnie is ably assisted by her backup band, the E Street Band, and her producer, Miami Steve Van Zandt. Especially notable from the E Street Band is Clarence Clemons, whose sabre like tenor sax constantly and effectively punctuates toe song. Although they sometimes tend to be overbearing. Van Zandt's arrangements and production are magnificent nonetheless, and provide toe perfect background to Ronnie's voice. At times he employs the castanets and thrashing drums that used to be Phil Spectra's trademark, but he uses them more as tributes than as imitations. "Say Goodbye to Hollywood" is truly a great song. Still, its chances of becoming a big hit single may not be all that good. I mean, how can quality material like this survive in a wasteland where Shaun Cassidy's mediocre, insipid version of "Da Doo Ron Ron" is presently burning up toe charts? * UNISEX fi Quck Styx.

This single may even do better than its predecessor, for it has a very catchy hook in its chorus, something that was lacking in Lorelei. There is an interesting balance between acoustic and a balance that works electric throughout the song very well; nothing sounds out of place. Considering the success of groups like Genesis, Kansas and Supertramp in Buffalo, it is surprising that this record isn't receiving more airplay on the local AM stations. - -> Latest European Cuts Maple Center ■ for Guys and Gals! 1400 Millersport 688-9026 — RST1VAI.lAST4l8JQNPS£SINT‘>fdliAlillWH*lphwaQHL97“ the STADIUM SUPERFESTit Orchard Park, N.

Spring is, at least in these parts, when theatres wind down, films those worth a are highly' scarce, and music is what's tinker's damn, anyway happening in the local entertainment scene. The timing of the spring semester break was ironic as well. It put an effective axe to covering the film I'd been waiting for since December Bound For Glory. So I was unable to lavish the requisite praise on David Carradine’s exemplary portrayal of Woody Guthrie, or Haskell Wexier's gorgeous photography, an achievement that even this year's unusually air-headed Oscar had to acknowledge. And the film died, most unfittingly, here as elsewhere. But summer is here, and the pickings are again fat. Several major first-run films are opening this week alone —A Bridge Too Far, the WW II epic of which director Richard Attenborough says, "We were men and seriously considering declaring war on Russia; we had equipment to do it," being the most ballyhooed. Other buffoes are The Deep, with Robert Shaw again taking to "Jaws" author Peter Benchley's treacherous seas, and The Heretic: Exorcist II, which should have little trouble wasting the combined talents of Richard Burton, Max Von Sydow, Louise Fletcher, and Paul Henried, who's been away from the screen for so long I was sure he'd shuffled off our mortal coil. In Ontario, Canada, the Stratford Festival is rather gaudily celebrating its 25th anniversary with, among several other offerings, restagings of its first two productions of 1952 Richard III and AH’s Well That Ends Well. (Michael Wing reviews Stratford's AH's Well That Ends Well in this issue.) The Shaw Festival has a rare treat George Bernard's very first play.

He kept that theme goingjor all the years since that release too. Freddie was pussy whipped and who's dah .. fool? The new LP continues the songs of love and endearment with a knowing smile, but this time the strings take over and Freddie sings worse than I have heard on record. I can't recommend this as the place to start with country music if you are at all interested. (Try a greatest hits album, Capitol-838). In one song Freddie quotes from some of his previous song titles, including “My Hangup is You." This album also hits all the many country music bases for subject matter. Freddie as always, really puts his woman up on the pedestal in "There's An Angel Living There." Even though she is a tavern girl with no nice clothes, she's ...‘. the answer to my prayers." More sentimentality gushes forth in the family side of Freddie. I ain't been a good father, my little girl ran away, and I’m sorry I broke up with your mommy. Hart even puts in one recitation number In which he really gets to pour his heart out. There is only one upbeat number in the set, "Stronger and Stronger," ci repetitiously forgettable song. To read this you might think I don't like this side of Country music, but I do when done well. Country song writing can be superior, but here it doen't shine. This is music that, perhaps, most of the readers here cannot relate to. It is really a mature sound with mature lyric themes. Your parents might think it fine. I hope Freddie will get back to a Nashville straight sound and leave the middle-of-the-road strings and chorus behind after this attempt.

Starbuck, the group that had an amazing hit on the AM airwaves last fall, has grouped together once again, hoping to jettison onto the Top 10 charts at speeding, facetious warp factors. Rock stars wait for light years. Their last song (What was its memorable title?}"Was one I would listen to when or, rather, one 1 wound not turn off as it was played and played and played over KB's airwaves.

Rock 'n but a small indication of the album's true essence,--as popularity via the hook of King Harvest's "Dancing in the Moonlight" rarely dovetails with progression.

The hearings, which went on last week, ask what to do with the two biliidn dollar Clinch River reactor project at Oak Ridge, Tenn., and whether to mothball it as urged by President Carter, or continue it, as voted by the House Science Committee. (The House International Relations Committee, which also claims jurisdiction, voted with Carter.) France': has the equivalent of a Clinch River project called the Phoenix Project, and some of the congressmen who are just back from the European air show warn that Prance is going ahead with it, whatever Carter and the Americans do. Witnesses are James Schlesinger, White House energy adviser, white haired and ruddy-faced, and Robert Fri, acting head of the Energy Research and Development Administration, Who comes from Kanses and whose name looks like a Calendar abbreviation. He slouches in his chair in a brown suit. Each man has a pipe and intermittently emits a dense mushroom shaped cloud. These people speak to each other mostly in acronymns and it is wise to bring a glossary; for instance Clinch River is CRBRP (Clinch River Breeder Reactor Project) and at one point Fri explains, “The CRBRP was designed to demonstrate that an LMFBR can operate safely.” \ou instantly grasp that he refers to a Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor. The first time we watched Schlesinger he was before Congress pleading for billions for nuclear weapons as secretary of defense; now everything is quaintly reversed, he is pleading with Congress not to spend billions for a breeder reactor. He is trying to help Mr. Carter keep America out of a different kind of international race, involving breeders, not bombs. Of course the two issues are connected because laughing Nature, in one of her merriest pranks, has provided a radioactive element, uranium, that can be utilized for either. It’s up to us. 1 ' Private utility corporations have a big stake in the decision Congress is about to make because they have invested in Clinch River, as they have in the big nuclear reprocessing plant at Barnwell, S.C. You can sympathize with them because the government encouraged them to make the investment. The reversal in policy by presidents Ford and Carter is one of the sharpest in history; a lot of Congressmen aren’t convinced of its wisdom and the utilities are sponsoring an advertising campaign to keep the projects going in spite of Carter. Congressmen listen to Schlesinger skeptically. Two Republicans ask if the U.S. isn’t going to be left behind in the nuclear fuel race? They are Hamilton Fish, Jr. of N.Y. and Barry Goldwater, Jr. of California. In one case papa headed the first great House Un-American Activities committee, in the other case papa ran for president. Now they’re in the nuclear age. The observer hears that there are “good” reactors and “bad” reactors. The good ones are the ordinary, uncomplicated commercial power plants that bum the uranium fuel. There are 62 in the country today making a valuable addition to scarce energy supplies and producing a lot of America’s electricity 45,000 megawatts of it, with “mega” standing for a million. Each 1000 megawatts produces about 30 tons of spent fuel a year. It’s this spent fuel that all the trouble is about. The waste is radioactive, contains highly toxic plutonium and is capable of being turned into energy itself. That’s the hitch. The theory has been that this lethal by-product, suitably processed would be turned over to the second type of nuclear facility, the breeder reactor, so named because it creates more fuel "than it consumes; it breeds the stuff. In his testimony Schlesinger agreed that the breeder could theoretically increase uranium efficiency 60 times, a kind of perpetual-motion machine. But now the Administration has decided that there is too much danger of international nuclear proliferation, that we need more experience with plants like that at Clinch River, which was supposed to be an experimental prototype. It has made this the “bad” reactor. In this fantastic world there is another problem: you can’t dispose of spent fuel in the ordinary sense, it can’t be absorbed by the environment or dumped into a river, say, to let the fish play with the gamma rays. It has an active life of around 100,000 years. What do you do with it; bury it? Presently it is stored (usually under water) for some decision to be taken. The ocean? Caves? Shot into space? Those details have to be worked out. A group of reputable scientists brought together by the Ford-Mitre Foundation, in a 1977 paperback, Nuclear Power Issues and Choices, (Ballinger, $6.95) reaches the same conclusion as President Carter; “In these circumstances, we believe that reprocessing should be deferred indefinitely by the United States and no effort should be made to subsidize the completion or operation of existing facilities.” From Australia, ■ rich in uranium ore, come similar recommendations by a trio of students led by prize-winning nuclear scientist Stuart Butler. They differentiate between the “good” and the “bad” reactor, too, the former called the thermal reactor. “The thermal reactor,” they say, “with all its problems does offer, in our opinion, an acceptable source of electricity generation.” The second type? “We are totally opposed to the introduction of breeder reactors for power productipn at this stage.” that apart from Schlesinger makes a final practical argument “foreign policy considerations,” the huge Clinch River breeder reactor isn’t cost-effective and may not be till the price of energy goes a lot higher. The estimated future need for uranium, he says, is down to less — This installment is the first in a series of columns dedicated to Student Association (SA) news and activities. Through the column, we at SA hope to inform this University’s students about current SA events to alleviate the communication problems that have existed over the last few years. Consequently, we hope that a better informed student body will result in a more active student body working towards all of our common goals. We invite your comments, criticisms and suggestions about both SA and the column. Please drop off your ideas in the SA office. Speaking of the SA office, today’s column will deal precisely with the office itself. The big question buzzing around SA is exactly where the office will be located this summer. SA will be one of the first organizations to re-locate to the new student union at the Amherst campus. But, because of delays and problems in construction, no specific or confirmed moving schedule has been determined. SA Executive Vice President Andy Lalonde has spoken of the “extreme frustration” that SA has encountered with the University administration concerning the move. Dates being considered are June 17, July 6 and August 20. The tedious moving process, though, has begun. Boxes have been packed and the office staff is finding it inconvenient to work under such circumstances, particularly when no end is in sight. The uncertain but imminent move has prompted Lalonde to term the situation “chaotic at best.” SA President Dennis Delia was in Albany last week trying to expedite matters concerning Amherst construction. If his efforts are successful, SA Should soon be able to return to at least a semblance of normalcy. So, if you have need of SA or would like to offer a suggestion about the column, stop by 205 Squire (Norton) Hall. Or, better yet, to save yourself the walk, call 831-5507. Checking the professors To the Editor. Having reached a senior point in my educational struggle I find it a prime time to review my years at U.B. Many incoming freshmen will hear the phrase “U.p. is an educational experience.” I know that I heard these words many times in the past and would like to express what they have tolled for me. Aside from the long hours and hard work of which are to be expected, is the wide variety of instructors at this University. Actually there is not such a wide variety, for the experienced student can usually classify them with ease. Whether or not people outside the University are aware of it, a good majority of the professors at U.B. are living on their laurels. Thfe problem at this University, and I speculate at many others, is a poor system of checks. Although the University system is loaded with the so called “Bureaucratic Red Tape” and “Bottlenecks”, it fails to have a solid system of checks on one of the most crucial elements of any university system its professors. For instance, I have attended many classes where the professor was extremely rude and indifferent. In fact “indifference” seems to be the prime hindrance in getting an education. One undergraduate advisor remarked to me one time that he even wondered what some professors were — researching in their offices, ignoring students, and collecting comfortable checks. 1’m‘sure that everyone knows that within every group of people, professionals, etc. one expects to see a few supposedly bad apples. But to myself and many fellow students it’s the concerned and friendly instructors that are the minority. The present check on our instructors involves a standardized computer questionnaire and an additional comment sheet which are completed by class members at the end of the semester. The results of the computer form are not available for review until the following year, while the comment sheets are readily at hand. These would be great if it did not take three years before they catch up with the departmental review. In the meantime students continue to pay good money for sub-standard teaching. why So one may ask himself the question attend U.B.? To this question there may be a variety it's cheaper, it has the course of study of answers I’m seeking, it’s title “University” sounds good, etc. Granted that these are advantages it is probably why this school is still able to attract the masses. Hence, after digesting the inconceivability of large classes, long lines, and mixture of instructors you may be ready to hit the street for a job. you’re probably Book-wise somewhat more knowledgeable than when you entered, and last but not least you should be more “people-wise” than when you started. Education is infinite, but the “Educational Experience” at U.B. will be a sound memory and hopefully applicable throughout the rest of one’s life. - — M.

The Spectrum Page thirteen . �O mmm Bluebirds not flying evenings, weekends by Paife MQler The lack of weekend buses this summer and the sparse weekday schedule is the result of severe budgetary restraints, explained Acting Director of Campus Busing Roger McGill. The amount of money allocated for busing for this fiscal year falls S 180,000 short of the University’s projected needs. McGill stated that without sufficient funding, weekend buses would not be possible this summer. “We have no special license to overspend our budget. We have to live within our means,’’ he said. He added that historically there had never been weekend buses during the summer. A bus running eight hours Saturday and Sunday for the rest of the summer would cost S1.500. McGill noted that the weekday service represents a SIS,000 increase over previous years, in which only one school bus ran from 9 a.m. to 5 pjn. Currently there are three transit buses running in the day and two transits running at night. The total cost for this service for the summer is approximately $37,400. “By the end of the summer, we’ll be $40,000 overspent (for this fiscal year),” McGill said. ‘This can’t go on.” If additional funding for buses is not found, that $40,000 would come out of the money allocated for busing for the fall semester. Lengthy strike to contmue About 2100 determined National Fuel Gas workers, members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (1BEW), have entered the 120th day of thcir-strike, to which there is no end in sight. The strikers two weeks ago rejected by a 1517 to 259 margin an improved package of wages and benefits that also included reductions in work crew sizes and in sick leave. A major feature of the package, rejected by workers, was a proposed July 1 contract date, as opposed to the ujtual date of the expired contract, February 14. Workers would have to wait four months longer for second year pay increments to begin, and would be unable to strike during profitable winter months sould the provision be accepted. The union had urged a no vote on the (NFG) Sports Editor roughly National Fuel Goi ■ One chance made The third daytime bus was added to the summer schedule the first week in June because the two buses originally scheduled were not sufficient. “The change came about because certain times one bus couldn’t carry all the passengers. Some people got left behind,” McGill vi ’ • said. ■ ' ■ McGill said that the administration is trying to get additional money for busing. “On the whole, I think the University has addressed the busing situation very well.” he said. “I think tlie buses are running smoothly in terms of what can be done with the resources available. That doesn't mean I don’t think there are no problems. 1 would like to see at least one bus being run part time on Saturday and Sunday. I can sense there is a need for it.” Student complaints about the schedule have concerned the lack of weekend service, the scanty weekday service and the times at which the buses leave. McGill said that those times were chosen after looking at the summer course listings and seeing when and where the most classes were being held. He said that the largest need was the Main Street to Amherst route, and Ridge Lea is least in demand. For that reason, the departure times at Ridge Lea are roughly once an hour. Statistics on rideiship during June show an average of 8S8 passengers daily bound for Amherst, 762 for Main Street and 293 for Ridge Lea. ' , ’ ; Ellicott residents stranded A petition to provide weekend bus service has been started in Ellicott. So far, more than 70 people have signed the petition. Approximately 350 people are living there this summer. According to Resident Advisor Esther Katzman, students are getting very restless on weekends. “It’s very dull and boring here,” she said. “My floor is unbelievably quiet. They’d really like some activities.’’ Others have expressed concern that during the hot months ahead, students cooped up in Ellicott over the weekend may turn to vandalism. There is also no health service at Ellicott on weekends. Student Association Executive Vice President Andrew Lalonde has sent a letter to University President Robert Ketter decrying the current busing situation, asking Ketter to try and provide the necessary changes. Lalonde also noted in his letter that "complaints have been met with the response that bus service is a 'luxury.' and we, as students should feel lucky with what wc have.*' Lalonde went on to say that bus service is an “obligation.” Lalonde met with Assistant to the President Ron Stein on Wednesday to discuss the busing situation further, and Lalonde indicated that he would present Stein with the petition at their meeting. Results of the meeting were not known at press time. The fall semester may also pose problems for bus riders. Blue Bird Bus Lines is raising their rates by 32 percent, compounding the budgetary problems. Regarding scheduling. McGill said that a computer study was being used, to help pinpoint the times of maximum ridership, so morfe buses could be scheduled for those times. Keeping Bluebird hours contract. In more recent developments, NFG rejected a later union offer to accept the changed work rules and sick leave in exchange for a February contract date. The company also rejected calls by the union for an end to the strike through binding arbitration, wherein a mutually agreeable third body composed of government figures would mediate the strike. Their decisions would be binding on both parties. Union officials felt that recent court rulings banning unemployment benefits'for those jobless as the result of a “labor dispute*’ would have no effect on the IBCW job action, since appeals are planned. The ruling was the result of a Bell Telephone suit against its workers who had received benefits after their eighth week on strike. National Fuel’s workers became similarly eligible in mid-April. . . Union officials declare the that second overwhelming rejection of the best company offer has greatly strengthened their negotiating hand, but cannot predict an end to the dispute. Greco said the rejection meant the membership “isn’t even satisfied with what we won in the area of wages and benefits." One worker explained: “I might have taken that six percent in February, except for the work rule changes. But I’ve lost $3000 from being out, and the company’s the one that has it. I’m getting it back.’* National Fuel is operating through the use of 300 supervisors, many from its Pennsylvania branch. Bills to customers have remained unchanged, despite persistant demands by consumer groups and some politicians that NFG give a rebate on the “excess profits’’ gained during Buffalo's vicously cold winter, and from the opportunity the strike provfdes for lower labor costs.

Long (trike begins There has been some community support for The long NFG strike began in middle February when union members voted six to one against the the strikers. The People’s Power Coalition, a local final company offer of a one year, six percent group working for municipal ownership of NFG, has increase in wages, no increase in benefits, and a demanded that the gas company’s profits be used to clause that negotiations on second year wage fill union contract demands. And demonstrators increases would be predicated on a “re-evaluation” from Women United for Action, another Buffalo of job categories and assignments. Christopher consumer group, once joined strikers on the Greco, president of striking IBEW Local 2199, said, picketline. Health Service hours axed , "... our people would have taken the six percent. But they Just didn’t know what this evaluation stuff meant. They figured they’d lose jobs and have pay reduced due to job reclassifications and the like.” Greco saql the company was attempting to entirely eliminate work rules for its Buffalo employees, and that this had already been accomplished at its Pennsylvania subsidiary. After the strike’s thirteenth week, the IBEW took the “.dangerous” step of presenting what they inadequate cpntract to the considered an membership, responding to company allegations that the union was keeping its members on strike registered special presents problems. “Registration is a function of the quality of the people you hire,” the Director said. He added that while some subscribe to the theory of hiring fully trained specialists, he prefers to select trainees that have the potential to bf effective aides, and then train them in his approach. The same students who work as aides during the summer will be available during registration in the fall to answer questions about scheduling, as an extension of Krakowiak’s concept of “ongoing orientation.” new students to take part in class discussions. “One of the problems in general is that freshmen don’t seem to have enough knowledge to be able to ask the questions they should be asking,” he observed. The new concepts will hopefully alleviate this, he added. In explaining the decision to run a dry orientation, Krakowiak noted that half the attending students are under 18. “There is a greater awareness of the alcohol problem on he campus,” commented. “We don’t want people to think this is two and a half days of parties.” The sessions begin June 27 and run through August 5. Tours of all three campuses will be included, along With a visit to the Off-Campus Housing Office. “We recognize the reality that people will eventually move off campus,” Krakowiak said.

The firm’s distributing company, which is under federal regulation, is operating at its maximum 17 per cent profit clip. Based on these suspicions, NYPIRG submitted a petition on May 20th calling for the PSC to conduct an audit of NFG’s books, to open those books to NYPIRG, to hold public hearings on the cross including matter ' I % ’* State University of New York at Buffalo about $500,000 weekly due to the strike which has not been reflected in consumer bills. ••Hfc 10 June 1977 Alfred Kahn, chairman of Public Service Commission, at meeting with Assemblyman Arthur O.

Delia and Ketter lobby for Amherst construction by John H. Reiss are totally insufficient for the physical education needs of this University. Managing Editor In an effort to get construction of the proposed Amherst gym started as soon as possible, Student Association (SA) President Dennis Delia accompanied University President Robert Ketter to Albany Tuesday to meet with state legislators. Delia had discussions with several legislators including State University Construction Fund (SUCF) Vice Chancellor for Campus Development O.C. Lanford, Marketing and Research Manager E.W. Stevens and Campus Planning Supervisor J. Papa. The results of the meetings were not available at press time. Before leaving for Albany, Delia claimed the meetings would be of paramount importance for the future of the Amherst gym. He expressed a firm resolve to convince the legislators that facilities for recreation on the Amherst Campus are intolerable. He has repeatedly explained to state officials, including Governor Hugh Carey (by letter see editorial page, this issue of The Spectrum) and Representative Stanley Stiengut (in person) that Clark Hall, a facility designed for a student body of 3000, and the Kctterpillar (The Bubble), a “temporary” structure, — Must join forces “This could be a big breakthrough as far as the gym is concerned,” Delia said Friday. “We must convince the people like Langford that the gym is a must.” Delia admitted that his primary task is to comflnce Ketter that the gym should be a priority on the construction agenda. “If we join forces, I don’t see how we can fail,” he remarked. The first phase of gym construction is presently slated to begin in April of 1978, The early groundbreaking of that phase was made possible by the purchase of $15.6 million in Housing Finance Agency (HFA) bonds by the firm of Homblower and Weeks. Earlier this year, those bonds had been the subject of considerable controversy when Marine Midland Bank, Liberty National Bank and Manufacturers and Traders (MAT) refused to buy S3 million in short term HFA bonds. Purchase of the bonds had been required by the State Division of the Budget as a local sign of support for Amherst Campus Construction. Amid threats of boycotts and other retaliatory actions by students and labor leaders. ' the three banks eventually agreed to buy the bonds Some uncertainty The gym has been designed as a two phase complex. Phase I will feature a field house which will include a large playing floor, seating for 10,000 people, a lecture Hall and a locker area. Phase II, considered to be the more important since it will house the gymnasium and natatorium, will include a triple gym, squash courts, handball courts, a swimming pool, a diving pool, classrooms, and a spectator and press area. Unfortunately, there is some uncertainty surrounding the starting date for Phase II construction. Presently, Delia feels that he and Ketter would have to agree that the gym is the number one priority if work on Phase II is to commence in April. However, the SA President is hopeful that Federal funds will be made available in the near future. If such is the case, it is reasonably certain that construction on both phases will begin simultaneously. -The gym will be built just east of the academic spine, where Millersport Highway is presently located. Once construction begins, Millersport Highway will be temporarily relocated and eventually eliminated in favor of a traffic circle which will surround the campus. �examined �Boredom vs: intimacy Summer session greeted here with mixed reviews than going home and praying for a job.

Last year, blessed with perfect weather, the event attracted a record crowd of 300,000. This year, the Art Festival is expected to draw in upwards of 250,000 spectaton to the Allentown area June 11-12. Attracting contributors from as far west as California and as far south as Georgia, this weekend’s gala affair boasts 470 exhibitions, including pottery, weaving, glass-blowing, photography, painting and sculpture. Instead of the usual “first submitted, first presented” rule 1 of thumb, contributors- to -this- year's art show had their Work judged for quality to determine its potential for public showing. As a result, the 1977 Allentown Art Festival could be the most spectacular to date. t Various cash prizes will be awarded'to those artists with the best presentations.

For openers, on Wednesday the Buffalo Evening News quoted President Robert Ketter as calling the Amherst Campus "essentially a non-functional facility." He and SA President Dennis Delia met in Albany with the Buffalo delegates to the State Legislature to press for funding of three UB construction projects. Keller's use of the word "nonfunctional" must be questioned. The projects on the line include a $9.2 million field house and recreation center, a $4.4 million audio visual center and an $8.8 million music performing arts center. Any efforts,* especially those of Delia who has been very adament about the construction of the recreational facility, Editor’s note: The following letter was written by Student Association President Dennis Delia and sent to Governor Hugh Carey. \ To Governor Carey: For many years students have been patiently awaiting an end to the construction moratorium and an end to the intolerable conditions we must endure to get an education at this institution. I’ve talked with legislators, officials of the Construction Fund, and the Board of Trustees telling them how urgently we needed an athletic facility, student activity space, and most important, adequate classroom and study space. Yet never before has our need been greater than in this year of transition. This year the 14,000 undergraduate students are being asked to occupy a campus barely 50% complete; with inadequate athletic, recreational and activity space. The campus is so bare, students refer to it as “no man’s land.” We have often asked our elected officials to recognize our critical problem here and have often .been given assurances that they recognized our needs and what was required to adequately provide for those needs. Those assurances gave us hope. Yet subsequent decisions took away that hope. The student organizations of this campus, which provide many necessary services and activities vital to the students here at U.B., are moving to a new student union at Amherst this Summer. This new union has only 35% of the space of the student union we now occupy, and all our organizations are asking me what is going to happen to them when we move. What can I say? Organizations such as our The Spectrum (the campus newspaper). University Press, Speakers Bureau, University Union Activities Board, Legal Services, Ethnic Clubs, Family Planning Clinic, the Community Action Corps, one of the largest student run community action organizations of its kind in the nation, and countless other services and activities space from which to operate. This is are left a vdfy siivfcre crisis to' all the student governments at ' this University, As the transition to the Amherst Campus progresses, substantially more students will be required to take courses and do research there. Yet there are no study areas or classroom areas that will come close to meeting the academic needs of the ' must be commended, but will completion of these projects make the Amherst Campus any more functional in the short term sense of the word? That is, what can be done to relieve the discomforts of getting to and from the campus, of finding the right classrooms and most importantly of living there? For example, the... Oh wait a minute. Welcome to summer session at UB, or The Summer Place, as it is labeled in the course description paper. Most of the photos in that publication suggest an air of rest and relaxation. Who can argue with that? On the front page, however, is an image of the Ellicott Complex, taken from across Lake Lasalle, deceptively exaggerating the lake's length or breadth. The photo dramatizes EiHcotfs isolation, making it appear stuck in the middle of nowhere, which it is. The cover of the class schedule portrays a group of people sitting hunched over on a hard brick wall somewhere on the plaza in Ellicott, rather stuck in the middle of like lying on a bed of nails 'nowhere. jjj Summer session is no more of a joke than the fall and spring semesters. The pace of classes is accelerated; therefore, the work load can be demanding, at feast in that most students are going home with assignments every night instead of two or three nights a week. In general* however, everyone has more time to pursue his leisures, however they be defined, which is Why most people are friendly and more inclined to mingle with others instead of confining themselves to their rooms and wishing it were summer. This exceptional attitude should be taken advantage of whenever the occasion to let loose arises, whether it be at the Albright-Knox Museum, the Studio Arena or Kleinhans Music Hail, or at a Toronto Btuejays baseball game, at the Tralfam adore Cafe, in Delaware Park, or at the Allerkown Arts Festival this weekend, at Bay Beach over the border, at a milk machine or in a bathtub, or even at a mellow, unassuming bar like Anacone's Inn on Bailey Avenue. Who can argue with back to construction for the moment. A few signs in front of buildings and maybe a small lounge in die basement or on the first floor of Clemens Hall would be of immediate help.

The need for adequate recreational aifd athletic facilities has been emphasized time and time again. I have stressed to the Construction Fund the imperative need to overcome the bureaucratic tieups and difficulties. Recently, a Head Resident Advisor wrote to the University newspaper, The Reporter stating that a gross lack of recreational facilities at Amherst was partially responsible for a growing alcohol problem there. Over 53% of the total number of students attempting to register in Physical Education classes were closed out this year. Unless you are extremely lucky you must be a Senior or Junior in order to complete your requirement of taking two (2) credits of Physical Education courses in order to graduate. This is a time, though, when you want such requirements behind you. Every year literally thousands of students participate in extensive Intramural and recreational programs that require athletic facilities. Our present gym is so inadequate that most of these programs must be handled with a reservation system that delays actual activity for days until space is available. Our present gym was built for a .student population of about 3000. Now it must accommodate 15,000 students. Even with our “Bubble” this situation is unendurable. One group of students that will be having even more problems are the commuters who, making up 60% of the student population, will have no place on that huge campus to partake in activities and become a viable part of the University. I have presented to you gentlemen the reality of what faces the students at U.B. next year. You are asking us to be students at a campus that doesn’t exist. I feel that in this year of transition, there is nothing to be proud of. You are asking for the impossible, if you ask us to accept the Amherst Campus as it is now, and tell us nothing can be done. The situation will become increasingly worse unless IMMEDIATE measures am taken to complete the construction of this campus. 1 urge you in the strongest possible terms to do all you can to release the construction funds and end the bureaucratic delays. Thank you for your time. - Dennis Delia Points and counterpoints ... * growing number of students at Amherst. What do we as well as die associated activities in the United States. With regard to this matter, both the points that we should not tolerate such activities (The Spectrum, April 2$, April 29, May 6 and May 9, 1977) and counterpoints that attempted to confuse the issue (The Spectrum, May 4, and May 16, 1977) have been well expressed. Now, let us further stress and substantiate oar position against such a toleration. v The points that we should not tolerate any continued KMT activities here and now have been formed on substantiated grounds. Utmostly, such internationally interfering activities are flagrant violation of national freedom and human rights, as well as the internal security act and peace maintenance of the United State|l%ny alien secret agents enacting such activities, when caught, will be immediately deported. Just to mention here in one ease, 15 KMT agents disguised as the Taiwan University students and thus enrolled at MIT resigned and retreated before they were expelled and deported as a result of their engagement in top-secret spying missions, including surveillance and intimidation acfcvffitfon campus. While here, the “visit” of Hsia, which has initiated the issue o f the present debate, has, in fact, undisclosedly attempted to sensitize and organize a handful of the subversive KMT elements to update their spying missions, but in vain. This may be, fortunately, due to the fact that our much enforced, absolute academic freedom of this University has undoubtedly brooded our awareness and international understanding to such a situation that, apparently, the KMT’s slimy tentacles can no longer nowadays infiltrate among this Community. However, regardless of this fact, we should be always aware of their potential reactivations on campus. In conclusion, we therefore hope that in the future, any KMT sympathizers, should they debate in opposition' to our position against their tolerations, will do so directing to the issue, and not, as previously shown, repeatingly raise the many ilhisionary questions of the right, the responsibility, the politicosensitivity, and even the ethicality of our self-evident statements, in all attempts to confuse the issue. Should any of the surveillance and intimidation activities be continuously carried out by the KMT subversives here and now, they are, in fact, the utmost unrighteous, irresponsible, as well as non-ethical political actions against the freedom and basic human rights of their own people, including students and workers, coming from Taiwan as well as all the overseas Chinese and American peoples, who strongly abide to the peaceful co-existence of the Law and Orders of the United States. We thus enforcingly oppose all forms of toleration to the KMT’s international, immoral, subversive political v actions. Thank you cfr your kind attention in this matter. Wishing you a pleasant summer. - > Mong Heng Tan, Chairman China Study Group GSA - Page four The Spectrum.

Already this city maintains a critically acclaimed symphony orchestra conducted by young talent Michael Tilson Thomas, several large avenues for ever popular rock and roll concerts, and even the correct intimacies for a soaring Jazz stand. Buffalo has proved that it can support the major and most offering the area creative and potentially viable recording artists. With the immense talent and stage awareness that these bands have displayed, it would even be feasible to print our own sort of Love at C.B.G.B/S-, or possibly a compilation of this area's best music. A record of this nature would not only break Buffalo wide open, it would emphasize quality relations between Buffalo musicians and club owners, a factor that would surely advance the state of this art. Most importantly what this fuss alludes to-is that on any given occasion one may venture forth and locate a more than adequate hot spot, which caters to your favorite musical tastes. Articulate jazz, good time folk, bluegrass, rag time, low slung blues, bladder bleeding rock and roll, even delicate chamber music; we are sadly lacking in Latvian minstrels, the city is thriving on most of the musical forms that you crave.

In the 40s the clash of adulation and invective stormed up anywhepe.

Building toward a climax, but not quite, Johnson sustained his position with cool objectivity, then passed it to Mosello who sustained it on bongos while the drummer furnished cymbal accompaniment. The sound at Eduardo's is not as good as at the Executive. The band seemed to be holding back due to lack of space.

It was then that their gut-wrenching country-rock ability was virtually lost among the balloons, frisbees and self-exploding daredevils of the Summerfestiyity. On Friday, May 20, the Outlaws returned to a sparsely populated Century Theatre, bringing two more albums since their last visit and experiencing one major difference, a crowd that was willing to help them tear the house down, beam by beam If necessary. Th# secret behind their "hellraising" insanity lies in their dueling lead guitarists/ neurosurgeons, Billy Jones and Hughie Thomasson,' whose lightening fast exchanges and high-speed drilling were able to lobotimize the audiences at will. With the self-induced anesthetic aroma permeating, the first piercing notes transformed the audience into mindless, emotional beings: dancing in place, waving cowboy hats and thrusting longhorn signs emphatically, in hopes of gaining recognition.

Flora had made her own move away from home not too many years previously, finding her musical mate, an route: "He used to play drums in a trio called Sam balance' Trio, and I was looking for a gig in San Paulo my father really couldn't put up with that, singing at night, coming he couldn't in in the morning believe in me at all that there was With her first album Butterfly Dreamt, the rest of the musical world began to receive the strong signals an outstanding artist transmits.

Stories to Tell was subsequently released and Down song I sing in Portuguese, called "O Cantador," and "I Just Want to Be Here," which is a medley I improvised in the studio, which was almost saying 'please, help me'..."

The Purims should have nurtured their daughter's talent But her parents, who were classical musicians, did spark Flora in her formative years with the music of Miles Davis, Billie Holliday. Dinah Washington and others. Flora mastered her native Bossa Nova, and had a string of hit singles and albums to prove it But she felt the need for the move to the U.S. As she explained in halting English, "I was in love with jazz music. I wanted to hear person-to-person Carmen Macrae, and Gil Evans I used to idolize his (Evans) work for Miles Davis." Purim later had magical.

Aleo it was the only time Flora ever played to a college audience. It was a rewarding experience for Purim to see the open-armed acceptance of an audience that contained soldiers in the legion of rock. "I think if all young people promote, acknowledge, and participate in concerts like they did there's going to be* a beautiful growth in American culture." The culture gap that may exist was narrowed definitely at the show. Airto proved to be a great emcee and certainly one of the more energetic percussionists. Without a doubt, 15/8 tempo was a new one for many listeners. Flora's voice floated and weaved, aided by the efforts of an echoplex mike through numbers including "500 Miles High" and the title of her late, "Nothing Will Be As It Was Tomorrow". The show climaxed with "Tombo," a number that found the entire eight-piece company dancing, stomping, using only and percussion to create the melodies, it was wild, it was hot, and it was distinctly Flora. When it was mentioned to Flora that Stevie Wonder was a follower of her music, she reeled off several other artists that had come to her performances: Paul McCartney.

Bryan Ferry, in Your Mind (Atlantic) Lately, it has become very stylish, very chic for record critics to pan anything released ''by Bryan Ferry. The reasons for this are many fold. Many hold Ferry's ego responsible for the (alleged) permanent dissolution 6f Roxy Music. Others cannot come to grips with his intellectualism, terming it either smug or pretentious. Whatever the reasons, the volley of criticism heaped on Ferry's latest release is unfortunate, for It is easily his most accessible effort to date. In Ydur Mind could be the album to break him in the States, provided that his potential new fans are not scared away by any bad press, Perhaps the most important reason for the album's success is the lack of self indulgence on Ferry's part, Although he wrote or co—wrote all of the eight songs on In Your Mind, he shows less of a tendency to lapse into the excesses that plagued his earlier efforts, during which time he primarily covered the material of other songwriters. The -result is a recording that is as listenable and likeable as Siren or Country Life. Side one opens with the album's two weakest cuts: "This Is Tomorrow" and "AH Nl{*t Operator." "This Is Tomorrow" is essentially a carbon copy of "Let's Stick Together," but it lacks the blinding brilliance and driving power that made its predecessor so popular in Great Britain. ''AH Night Operator" has similar flaws, and also suffers from a repititious melody line and a ippmpletely inadequate arrangement. Despite the shortcomings of these two songs, it would be unfair to say that they are bad; they just don't compare well with the rest of the material ‘on the album And the rest of the material on the album is first rate. From the pensive, controlled "One Kiss" to the subtle melancholy of the title tune. Ferry gives an impressive Want To Talk About - Page ten The Spectrum Friday, 10 June 1977 . . Cat Stevens, Izitso? (A&M) Funny how angry love can be at times. You can hold a like an autonomous clean pen, a clean sheet of paper slate. When people's records stymie me, I look to my original copy of Emerson's essays. It's dog-eared; the 1830s were a long time ago. How he knew creativity) The binding's coming apart like the boom-booming of the words; "The best pictures can easily tell us their last secret." I hope I haven't told my last secret behind a dim witted tree, behind its back. Does such a tree have,a back? Cat Stevens might have asked that. I could understand the rhetoric of Numbers. Cat's last album. He was pursuing creativity but did not reach many people. I appreciated the bad apple gas of self-indulgence; the fog then rqlled in on little cat feet. How esoteric. Cat's latest contribution, Izitso?, is an exercise in autonomy rather than self-indulgence. The former is more controlled-creatively produced to relate to those who want to feel this thoughts. Stevens has never sold out to the bogie of commercialism and this is due to his realization of innovative writing. From the days of Deram and Very Young and Early Peas to early 70s singer-songwriter heydaze to now, the Teaser has kept his individuality. That can become blase to some folks. The philosophic ballad ala 'Peace Train,' is conceived id "Child For A Day" — / was a child Who ran full of laughter / was a child who lived for a day My eyes full of sunshine My heart full of smiles / was a child for a day. It means so much more to me today than "Peace Train" ever did. Maybe it's because Cat's older and wiser Or am I? The melody is fine, the piano meaningfully played, ending the song appropriately, abruptly. Like gawky, stalky teen years. Cat's enigma is found in remembering the fantasy, while living the damn reality. Another reminiscence is "Old Schoolyard" in which Cat trades off vocals with Elkie Brooks ala "Don't Go Breakin' My Heart." Elkie's been around for quite a long time since Beatles Christmas show in '64—'65 to Vinegar Joe with Robert Palmer and her ill-fated splo album in late '75. Cat and Elkie will have a winner if they release this pop-oriented tune. And we all want to win don't we? Trick your tail, kiddies, high, proud up in the air. The familiar Cat Stevens' energy is protrayed in the mellow-hard rocker, "Bonfire." Drum volume is raised and Cat pours bunches of syllables into each line to divulge” feelings of violent emotion. Cat has to reveal all aspects of love in a few short minutes; his energy pulls it off nicely. The song is his love, his expression, his need: ... feel so weak, yea, can't sleep without you there to hold me. Promise me you won’t ever leave, or I would die so coldly. Kiss me with your eyes, please don ft it rain, v Don't kick no dust on my Bonfire. / You, the purpose of Trane's presence/ hopefully, cur's.

' performance. The songs are not the best he has written, but they are good, and, even more importantly, their quality is consistent. It is difficult to say that one cut is better or worse than another, although there are a few that have lodged permanently in this reviewer's memory. "Love Me Madly Again" is one of these. Ferry's brooding, almost vindictive delivery is accentuated by an arrangement as peculiar 4nd unique as his voice. Phil Manzanera and Ann Odell contribute significantly to this background Manzanera with his angular, unpredictable guitar solos and Odell with her brilliantly executed string — arrangements. Also notable is "Party Doll," but for different reasons. - On a Saturday night in this wild world you won't get hurt by the oh, so very young teen commerce of Izitso? Especially with the pop jazz Doc, Chick Corea, on the two instrumental cuts, "Krypos" and "Was Dog A Doughnut." The summer love is the best picture, the last secret of frigidity hasn't yet been approached or apprehended.

Combining the early harmonies of the Beatles and the angular guitar sound of the Stones (circa Brian Jones) this second generation Frisco band produced one of the best pop/rock albums of 1976. It wasn't necrophilia, it was a buckshot of rhythm and blues. Sadly, the LP received little airplay jnd sold only in limited quantities, which gave Sire enough reason to drop the band from their label. The Groovies, nevertheless, found themselves adored by a cult of, serious addicts, similar to those they had nurtured when the Groovies were a boogie band back in the early, early seventies. To capitalize on this re-emergence, Buddah has issued the semi-biographic/ half live Still Shakin', which presents the band in the earlier frame of their illustrious career. Side one is an accumulation of tracks from the stupendous Teenage Head and Flamingo LP's, and shows more get down than on their most recent pop approaches. Really, Still Shakin' is a supercharged gift with many dividends. "Doctor Boogie" is one of the finest excursions into readhouse raunch since Jim Morrison took his stab. The song 'Teenage Head" emerges as the wonderful adolescent anthem that it is, always relaying the simple but exciting pyrotechnics of the Groovies. The recording even marks the vinyl debut of Commander Cody. Side two will invariably have record collectors drooling in the aisles of their favorite suburban record botiques. The set is live, rare and taken from 1971 recording sessions. Hear them rework Buddy Holly's 'That'll Be the Day" and Gene Vincent's "Rockin' Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu." There's even a touch of the berrychuck with superb masterings of "Around and Around" and the inevitable garage band classic "Louie i.ouie." Primitive in its state, one not yet as self conscious as thteir new punk stance, this album is a must. As of yet something to do with ex-Groovie there is no release Cyril Jordan suing for misrepresentation but what ever you have to do, be it beg, borrow, or steal, get a hold of this album. -DimitriPapadopoulos — — — John Cale, Guts (Island) In retrospect it seems fairly ironic having to identify John Cale, especially in light of the fact that Guts is a greatest hits package. Vet Gale's bass playing and technical guidance in the original Velvet Underground has always been overshadowed by Lou Reed's snowed-over decadence and Andy Warhol's big bucks and camp media connections. In fact John,Cale's dumpy composure has always been approached in a low keyed fashion. His ice box production work on Patti Smith's Horses, the critically acclaimed and now very rare first effort by the Modern Lovers, and countless others has garnered him raves from only an eclectic variety of record buyers. Similarly his long slew of cyanide solo works have spent Phil Collins and ex-Jim Kewskln jug band member Geof Muldaur the one that parried luscious Maria. But to make a point of comparison. Guts is never luscious. A doom laden spectre weaves intricate melodies and power surges that are as bleak as a holocaust, and why not? Gale acknowledges that "Fear is a Man's Best Friend." Even the cool "Helen of Troy" is a razor edge composition set against the frightening scenario of a chalk white marbel bust. As for the rest of the LP, "Dirty Ass Rock and Roil" is exactly that and "Heartbreak Hotel" and "Pablo Picasso" are the killer covers. Unlike other historical documents, which tediously rehash past and pompous pilgrimages. Guts stands out. Greatest hit albums derive from commerical aspriations, but while Guts won't make Cale wealthy, it may credit his otherwise erratic discography with one well rounded effort. -DimitriPapadopoulos — The Tubes, The Tubes Now (A&M) This record bothers me to no end. Just when it looked as if the Tubes would follow their second album with one that would surpass the halfway decent mark, they have fallen back to zero. The Tubes, an eight-man one-woman outfit from San Fransisco, are best known for their superb shows and the near-classic, "White Punks on Dope." After listening to a couple of Tubes albums and seeing them perform, there is a gap as observable as the one in Keith Richards' teeth. Musically, they are average or worse, but it is what tfiey do with it live that makes them exciting. The stage turns into an elaborate, choreographed, constumed hard-rock musical, even utilizing a marvelous system of video projections. The Tubes Now continues in their tradition of poor music except this time, they're consistently terrible. A particular direction seemed to be taken on their last album, Young and Rich, which parodied popular culture, while that work contained a few songs that were clever and memorable (notably "Don't Touch Me There"), the newest is chaotic and non-creative. t The songs are got too far removed from Kiss' humdrum onslaught. They are non-sensical and don't appear to contain much thought. Most of the cranial process seems to have been made in the titles of the cuts themselves, which turn out to be the best things going for this album. You can sit around saying "Cathy's Clone" and "Pound of Flesh" to yourself for a couple of hours, but don't expect any musical revelations to arrive. Space the collector all things occupy mature (space-matter) mass. Size of tonal vibrational curved audio information always has a letter head. The melodic line the creator of logic-language.

Good talking about of Musical Creation Coltrane. —Leroy Jones — Dan Fogelberg, Nether Lands (Full Moon) Dan Fogelberg has experienced a large classical influence for this one, passing by mere string and horn charts for a swelling orchestra. There are also liner credits for (sic) Johann Sebastian, Peter llych, and Edvard Grieg. Still Fogelberg's best work is when his voice is given the lead role, when the texture and airiness that comes with dubbing and redubbing of his ethereal vocals floats above and around the surfaces of the instrumental tracks. While it's obvious that Nether Lands was supposed to Isomething of a portrait of the artist by a young man, the album works best when it’s less introspective and Fogelberg sings of love, both lust and lost. "Lonely survivors, these promises made" An intriguing change, when the method, rather than the madness, is discussed. Fleetwood Mac could cover "Love Gone By," with a chorus hook large enough to hang a double-neck Ibanez — Chalk up three producers for three albums too. The batting order is Al Kooper for the first, Ken Scott for the more-ambitious second and John -Anthony for the disastrous third. Anthony does the worsf job in production, mixing Fee Waybill, the lead singer, all the way out in front of everything else (the surface noise would have been better) and giving the whole album standards Edison could have beaten. Nobody can do justice for the Tubes, who can't do it for themselves either. I'm not even going to doubt that the fourth album will have a new producer. If they were smart, the Tubes would get some new people to write tunes for them, since they are digging their own musical grave. As far as this critip is concerned, I could play the record with a pick axe and get the same results. —Drew Reid Kerr John Coltrane Quartet, Creation (Blue Parrot) Art and science for the past 100 years has only danced with each other a few times.

The music on Guts (pronounced "goots" by one British gentleman affiliated with Island) falls into the category of musical punters turned posh through their intimacies with Bryan Ferry. Cale essentially ignores his Balloon Farm influences for a piece of Roxy.

It's unfortunate that the attempts with the orchestra are a bit overblown. It's ambitious, but so is Fogelberg's tackling almost all the instrumental and vocal chores {leaving room for Ken Buttrey, Don Henley, J.D. Souther, and producer Norbert Putnam to cover various spots). Arranger Dominic Frontiere almost understands his purpose on "False Faces" but misses it on "Sketches" and loses it completely on the title track. Nobody knows Fogelberg like Dan. So, nobody can arrange Dan like Fogelberg. His voice is his tool, and it would be interesting to see what he would construct under contract to none but himself. But for now (and it has been almost two years since Captured Angel), Nether Lands is quite satisfying. —Barbara Komansky — Friday, 10 June 1977 The Spectrum . .

The administrators have checked all the psychology departments of the nine-campus system and are investigating other departments to find the culprits.

Last year’s team, the first in club history, finished with a record of 56 wins and 64 losses and missed the playoffs by a mere one game. The playoff spot was not determined until the last game of the season when Buffalo lost to the now' defunct Pennsylvania dub; This loss enabled Chicago to make the playoffs. But this year, the team’s spirits are high because of the several Baseball Seton Hall eliminates Bulls Each of the past two years, the baseball Bulls have gone to post-season tournaments, only to return home as the runner-up. This year, Buffalo ran into-a strong Seton Hall team, and finished second of four teams at the EC AC District 2 Tournament, May 20-22 at Newark, Delaware. Buffalo surprised the host University of Delaware team in the tournament’s first game with a 10-7 victory. Senior Jack Kaminska hit his only career homerun in the fourth inning to spark the Bulls. But the big blow to the Bears was Buffalo’s seventh inning when six Bulls crossed the (Hate. Centerfielder John Pedersen's three nm homer led the Bulls’ rally. Lefty Bill Casbolt went the distance for Buffalo to pick up hit ninth win of the season, setting a new school record. In the second game, Seton Hall completely destroyed the Bulla With a team. batting average of .322, eleventh in the nation, Seton Hall banged out eighteen hits (including four homeruns) and laughed to a 22-3 win. Ninth inning rally average (raising his .303). Draft may include Bulls First-baseman Mike Dixon had the best season of any of the Bulls this year. In addition to hitting .457, which was fourth in the nation, Dixon attracted many pro scounts and, along with Casbolt, will probably be snatched in this week’s free-agent draft. Dixon had an operation performed on his right shoulder earlier this week to correct an injury which plagued him all year. and second baseman Mike Groh were selected to the NCAA District 2 All-Star team.Dixon set eight Buffalo career records, including homejuns (13), runs batted in (98) and total bases (224). Dixon also set season records for hits and total bases and tied the record for runs scored. Pedersen set the season record for at bats (153), and second baseman Mike Groh set the record for walks (season 35 and career 70). Casbolt set season records for wins (9), games (22), starts (12), complete games (6), inning (92.2) and strikeouts Page fourteen Ute Spectrum Friday, 10 June 1977 . average forty points to y The Bulls finished at 24-20, and did well after their Florida- trip. The team was extremely young -(with only three seniors and five juniors), but matured during the season. Coach Bill Monkarsh predicted at the start of the season that Buffalo would play .500 ball this year, “and then have a great season after that.” The Bulls appear to be ahead of Monkarsh’s predicted pace. This year, they set numerous records in addition to finishing four games over .500. Several players developed into fine ballplayers, including catcher Ganci and outfielders Pedersen and Jim Wofcik. Still others, such as freshman Scott Raimondo and Joe Vizzi looked very impressive at times. The Bulls did not lose heart though, and again beat Delaware 12-11. The game was called because of darkness, as righty Mike Betz had hurled Buffalo to a 10-5 lead, helped by catcher Phil Ganci’s homer. After the game resumed the next day, Buffalo tallied twice but Bull pitcher Jeff Gematt 'found himself in deep trouble and needed help from Rich Brooks to stop a six run Delaware rally in the ninth, and Buffalo held on to win. That victory meant Buffalo would have to play Seton Hall again. In what turned out to be the championship game, Buffalo hurt itself by leaving i eleven men on base. In the fourth, the Bulls had the bases loaded with only one man out, but failed to score. Seton Hall took the game 7-2, and advanced to the NCAA Regional playoffs. Ganci led the tournament in batting with a .692 (82). . season — — International Women's Association. v changes that have occurred during this, the league’s second year of existence. Professional Softball action, and, according to league officials, this is what the fains want to see. Cardillo, who led the league in homers last year, thinks the added four feet from the pitcher to the batter will benefit her. “The extra time for the ball to reach the plate will allow the hitter to get a better look at the ball. This will result in more base hits and fewer strikeouts. It will probably result in more homeruns because the batter will be better able to pull the ball,” explained Cardillo, who hopes to improve on her accomplishments of last season. Nikiel, the Breskis’ leading pitcher last year with a record of 30-17 and ERA of 2.14, said. “The pitchers will have to adjus^ to increased distance. We will have!! to try to hit spots and make hitters hit the pitch we want then*--? to hit. Timing and control will beto important pitchers; the especially for the first couple of>£ v weeks.” She thinks that the pitchers will be able to adjust but also agrees that there will be more J hitting also as a result of the new y New faces Due to financial woes, the association had to be reduced from the initial 10 teams to the present six (with the top four clubs making the playoffs). As a result, a dispersal draft was held in teams which the remaining selected players from the clubs that had folded. B reskis General Manager Tim Maloney feels that this draft did much to strengthen his club, “Although every team in the league will be a lot stronger we think that we strengthened ourselves the most,” he said. “We picked up several quality players in the dispersal draft.” Among Buffalo’s acquisitions were Pat Willis and Donna Schwenk, both pitchers, who had eamed-run averaged (ERA) of 1.42 and 1.99 and outfielder respectively Peterson, who had a batting average of .309 last year. The Breskis also picked pitcher Pat Stockman out of the college ranks.

In Committee To Respond To The this way, the Committee looked Academic Plan targets most of the for the University’s future in a blame for the plan’s deficits on the mirror image of the administrative Committee’s past.

Committee The Response makes clear the surprising extent of President Ketter’s ability to shape ‘Intellectual straigh(jacket’ the outcome of a report destined to “It is one of our strongest the much the with weight in disappointments carry University’s future, theoretically Committee’s reports and one conducted according to the best which they surely did not intend standards of academic objectivity. we should feel, that it seems to It chastises the Planning see only constraints, as if a tight Committee for failing to deal or a declining budget were intellectual an critically with the President’s necessarily charge, “not because they [the straigh tjacket.

The Academic Plan approved almost since he bacame almost completely forsakes the President in 1970. As last year’s value of education in itself, budget crisis intensified, Ketter without application to social apparently began to prepare by problem-solving technology.

This inevitably led to pitfalls in indifference of public funding the Academic Plan, the response sources to higher education. The Planning Committee attempts to said. of save the University from financial By designing a process would, as Ketter starvation by showing that it is evaluation which had asked, reveal the strengths efficient and useful by directing and weaknesses of the University, its efforts toward instrumentalist primarily serving the Committee was destined to education confuse quantitative evaluation Western New York, and by accountable to with planning, and produce a plan remaining which makes the strong stronger administration.

Although Ketter has never publically stated his opinion of the contact/credit hour system and course load, administrators and faculty familiar with his views say he favors revisions of the semester credit hour policy which would end the four-course load in the Humanities and Social Sciences. The response cushions ■ its Planning criticisms of the Committee by citing the difficult circumstances under which the Academic Plan was written, including time constraints and the problems( in planning itself. But the response also answers the virtually ■ all Planning Committee’s suggestions in the negative, and labels them as extensions of an overly-dogmatic instrumental outlook. Without saying so, the response finds the Academic Plan to be an extension ofKetter’s charge. Binghamton Four-course load retained by Dimitri Papadopoulos Contributing Editor The State University at Binghamton will retain its four-course load for at least two more years. Undergraduate Dean Sheldon Grebstein indicated An unprecendented, extensive Wednesday. evaluation of the system will be conducted during that period to determine the relative beneficial value of the four contacl/credit hour policy. this Contrary to administrative opinion University, Grebstein said that educators at oppose any change to the current system, which has been in existence. there since 1962, until a careful examination of the system can be completed The study will be conducted by the SUNY at Binghamton administration, and funded by the Binghamton SUNY Central Education Department. The four-course load was seriously threatened this summer when the SUNY Central Vice Chancellor for Academic Programs issued a memorandum formalizing the measure of a semester credit hour as the “Carnegie Unit.” Accepted as official SUNY policy, the memorandum decrees that students receive one credit hour for satisfactory completion of one 50-minute session of classroom instruction per week for 15 weeks, with several categories of exception. Binghamton is the only other SUNY school besides this University that maintains a four credit hour/three contact hour system. Meanwhile, administrators at this University are four-course load here, as no data which might suppor the present claiming they cannot justify the system has been undertaken since its institution in 1969. Additionally, a Faculty Senate subcommittee has recommended that the University restructure its present system granting academic credit to conform with the standards set by SUNY Central. The subcommittee suggested that this policy change-be completed by September 1977. Binghamton’s Grebstein said that, at the present time, the University’s administration, faculty and students are satisfied with the present system. One reason cited was that the smaller course load gave students more time to concentrate on work outside the classroom. He also said the change to a five the would diffuse students’ course load concentration over too broad an area of study. Students would also have more leisure time to participate in extracurricular activities related to major fields of study. “Such studies,” he plained, “would come in the form of laboratory research, community work, internships, honor programs and writing for the various student newspapers and literary publications.” While the Binghamton administration has not until now conducted any emprical study of the situation, Grebstein feels there is already evident justification for the system. He pointed out that under the present system students score “better than average” in standardized exams which include the law boards, medical boards, and the Graduate Record Examinations. “It (the four-course load) has been the tradition of other prominent universities such as Cornell and the University of Rochester to maintain a four-credit course sytem,” Grebstein emphasized. �questions of merit.” The case is now before the U.S. .Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C.

Drs. David Raskin, Gordon Barland and operating under a John Podlesney, grant from the National Institute $100,000 of Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice, conducted polygraph examinations of a number of criminal suspects referred to them by local police agencies. They compared results of lie detector tests with the opinions of five-member panels that included two defense attorneys, two prosecutors and the judge involved in each case. The panels concurred with the polygraph results 87 percent of the time.

Receiving a decidedly mixed reaction from the crowd of less than 200, Gallup said that the program would serve as a frontal attack on severe social injustices. “All 18-year-olds would be in a military or peace corp releated field for one year,” asserted Gallup. “It would serve as part of their education for the real world, training for the real world.” Calling on president-elect Jimmy Carter to “awaken America’s sleeping giant National Service,” Gallup added, “college students today have a very strong social conscience,” and that according to his polls, a large majority of young people favor his proposal.

One of their latest headaches has been caused by Gary Weissman, a former student at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, who is suing the agency for its refusal to hand over information obtained about him during a five-year investigation the CIA said was conducted for purposes of employment. Weissman has stated that he never applied for a job with the CIA. Weissman, who was active in National Student Association (NSA) activities while he was a student at the University in the late fifties, and also a friend of Tom Hayden, first requested the information in February 1975, after he read that the CIA was “making investigations on people slightly to the left of Attila the Hun.” He suspected the CIA might have information on him because of his background.

Stating that, “Due process was violated by the Student Senate,” City College of New York President Robert Marshak has revoked suspension of The Campus, the school's largest newspaper. The suspension had been declared by the Senate, which charged the paper with maligning the characters of individuals, distorting the truth, and violating various sections of the college handbook. The Senate will meet Friday, when it is expected to charge The Campus with improprieties regarding its financial operations. “Whatever they ask us, we can “answer,” commented Dale Brichta, the paper’s editor-in-chief. atharine Cornell Theatre Opposition to operating fees Last July the Katharine Cornell Theater Advisory Committee decided to charge a fee of ten dollars for every hour of performance time and five dollars for every hour of rehearsal requiring a theater advisor. The fee was imposed to pay the salary of an operating technician. College B, the College of the Creative Arts and Crafts and the Student Association (SA) have expressed opposition to this policy. College B Spokesman Bob Baron said the College would like to bring jazz and rock concerts to the Amherst Campus but, because of the fee they will not be able to afford it. He said, “Money has somehow been found by the University to' sponsor classical concerts, but there is none available for the jazz and rock concerts that the students prefer.” SA Director of Student Affairs Lee Ferres said that the major complaint of the student body was that they were not asked for any input before the decision was made. He said the student organizations using the theater were not informed of the policy until August, after their budgets had already been submitted. After attending a meeting with the Katharine Cornell Advisory Committee where the fee policy was discussed, he felt the problem was not resolved. Peres said the University is “playing politics in * picking Classical that many outsiders attend,” explaining that these are funded by outside grants while College B (l productions are not. “College B should be able to hold the jazz and rock concerts without charging the student body,” he added. Carole Smith Petro has submitted a proposal to the committee of a progressive fee, based on the ability of the user to pay. Peres said he is not in favor of this proposal as it presently stands, adding however, that he would be in favor of a modified version of her proposal. Leonard Snyder, a member of the Katharine Cornell Advisory Committee said he is not aware of the progressive fee proposal. Snyder said that he was not aware of the possibility of another meeting being arranged and sees no change in the situation. He felt that the admission College B would have to charge to provide these events would pot be excessive. College B contends that Katharine Cornell is necessary for survival and space development of the College. They must sponsor events to “justify their existence as an educational upit.” College B feels it is being taxed unfairly, and they do not wish to charge the student body admission to these events.

Page three �Surveillance in the U.S.: the FBI makes assumptions by Paul Krehbiel Contributing Editor Editor's note: This is the second of three articles about government surveillance of American citizens. The author recently received over fifty pages from a file that the FBI has been keeping on him for seven years. To the FBI, it is a short step from opposing the Vietnam War capitalism. When many of us understood the real reasons for U.S. involvement in Vietnam, it was an easy step to take. From there, one naturally looks for a solution, which many of us saw in socialism. So, the FBI reasoned that it must keep files on anyone who might possibly become a socialist or communist at a later date, whether or hot they ever did. Anyone who is critical of any U.S. government policy, institution or practice, is suspicious and must be spied on. What underlies this paranoid fanatical fear is their anticommunism. Marx and Engles wrote 128 years ago in the Communist Manifesto that it was high time that Communists openly published their views in order to meet “this nursery tale of the spector of communism. to opposing Social appropriation “The distinguishing feature of -Wine & Communism is not the abolition of property generally,” they Wrote, “but the abolition of bourgeois property.” Simply, this means the abolition of the condition where socially produced wealth is privately appropriated. The solution is for socially produced wealth to be socially appropriated. The Communists to this explain have had continuously ever since. But it is hard for the Communists to make known their views if they are constantly spied hounded or outlawed. on, Anti-communism serves as a justification for FBI surveillance of the American people of Communists and non-communists alike. It is the smokescreen that is hauled out to cover assaults on every progressive movement that comes along. FBI surveillance of these groups is carried out because of alleged Communist influence. Such was the case with the anti-war movement. The FBI noted that I attended meetings of the People’s Coalition for Peace and Justice (PCPJ), one of the country’s largest anti-war organizations. They wrote that I participated in a PCPJ sponsored demonstration against the war in downtown Buffalo on May 5, 1971. PCPJ organized the anti-war demonstrations in Washington in 1971, where 13,000 people were for acts of civil arrested disobediance.

Fiedler John Logan Jennifer Regan Raymond Federman Albert Cook Irving Feldman Sally Anderson Fiedler Judith Kerman William Sylvester and many others But the FBI was interested in PCPJ for more reasons than its opposition to the war in Vietnam. The FBI wrote in my file that headquartered in PCPJ was Washington, D.C. and consisted of “over 100 organizations which are using civil disobediance to combat racism, poverty, repression, and war.” PCPJ was formed in December 1970 by former members of the National Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam, and other forces previously outside the anti-war movement. (The National Mobilization Committee was the major national anti-war organization, and had brought over one million people to Washington in November 1969 to protest the war.) After the National Student Strike of 1970, many anti-war activists saw the need to link up the anti-war movement with the growing opposition to domestic economic problems and political repression. An important aspect of PCPJ’s work was to show the relationship between the huge military budget and the deterioration of living standards at home. Political repression National demonstrations were also organized by PCPJ to demand freedom for Angela Davis (a leader of the Black Liberation •movement and a Communist), and the Harrisburg 8 (anti-war activists charged with disrupting the Selective Service System). organized PCPJ also demonstrations at stockholders meetings of corporations, like General Electric, International Telephone and Telegraph (ITT), Honeywell and Standard Oil, who profiting were from war production, and it gave support to activities sponsored by the Rights National Welfare Organization, and the labor movement. The Buffalo PCPJ organized demonstrations and collected petitions for peace. It also helped mobilize hundreds of people to march in Albany to protest the massacre of inmates and guards at Attica Prison in 197.1, and urged the dropping of all charges against the inmates. anti-war Five of eleven Communist Party leaders who were indicted under the Smith Act in 1948.

On another page of my file the FBI wrote; “Op January 18, 1971, it was learned that the was interviewed and subject tentatively accepted to travel to Cuba with the Fourth Contingent of the Venceremos Brigade (VB).” The FBI document explained that the VB was formed in 1969 by to organizations New Left student journalist trip arranged by the VB. ‘Dangerous’ facts But before that, I traveled to the Soviet Union on a two-week tour sponsored by the National Council of Soviet American Friendship.

It also deals with the Committee’s upe of data and some of the biases which resulted from a tendency to remain "within traditional boundaries and conservatisms. 1 We feel that serious defects in the Committee’s reports are a consequence of its not having questioned its charge. It did not question the sequence of events established by the President, or his definition of it as both a goal-defining and an evaluative body; it did not for itself distinguish between short and actions long-term goals, and objectives; accepted it the pressures to express its evaluations of departments and programs (in 1R) in essentially quantitative terms; it did not always pursue the implications of the questions it was asked to resolve or which occurred to it in formulating its report; it agreed to see the programs academic of the University in isolation from the facilities and resources on which they depend. If, in fact, the Committee did not quarrel with its charge, or with the President’s definition of “The University: Its Purpose and Fulfillment” then it must be said that the President’s thoughtful and by no means unimportant suggestions and recommendations did not receive the serious examination and criticism which it is an academic community’s obligation to provide and which it is uniquely qualified to provide. An academic community can best serve its president by engaging with him in a prolonged dialectic about their mutual concerns. However irritating such a dialectic may occasionally be, if it is properly conducted it will reveal to its participants the options available to them, and the situation they are in. It will enable them to understand and support each other even as they disagree, and even disagreement can create trust. The dialectic can force its examine the participants to assumptions they do not know they are making and those they do know they are making. We strongly believe that the planning process must reveal and examine the assumptions we hold and have held about ourselves. Further, since many of the statements in The University: Its Purpose and Fulfillment represent decisions about the University made by the President, it was obligatory or should have been, for the Planning Committee to have addressed and examined them. Not because they are wrong, but because the process of examination of assumptions is total, essential to planning, rational, or other, and because the publication of that process can help to gain support for the plan which will be one of its products. We regret further that the Committee failed to relate their evaluation criteria of quality, need and promise, to the President’s definition of the values underlying the University, freedom, equality and the humanistic values. — - evaluation process ran the risk of telling departments that they were not needed because they were weak at the same time that it told them they were weak because they were not needed. As we have already pointed out, some of the weaknesses and strengths defined by the data used are the results of previous decisions which the data may reflect but do not always reveal. Some departments, once strong, are now weak because they have not been able to fill vacancies created by their own efforts to improve the quality of their faculty by the denial of tenure. In some departments the apparently low (“inefficient” is one word used by the Committee to describe this state) student-faculty ratio at graduate levels is the result of a history of reduction in the numbers of supported graduate students, a decrease which can then be used to justify, with data, requests for additional resources. Where present weakness is the result of past deliberate action, it is hard to believe that there is not an implicit plan or an implicit evaluation; to the extent that we believe and many of us do this to be true, we tend further to believe that what was desired was a plan and an evaluation which would conform to preconceptions. administrative Given the enormous number of evaluations which have > been conducted in this University in the past ten years, one is led to wonder why IR was needed at all. The request feu: it can be interpreted as an indication of a general nervousness and insecurity about the University and an — . In the Interim Report, the Committee tells us that it began by defining its goals (which it then published as appendix 111 to its Report), and then proceeded, as the President had asked it to, to design a process of evaluation which would reveal to it the strengths and/or weaknesses of the University; out of that would discovery come, presumably did come, in fact the planning goals of the final and Report. planning But — evaluation are — different and distinguishable activities. Certainly, purpose one of evaluation (particularly if the evaluations are finally expressed in quantitative terms) is to show the distance between what is and what is not desirable and yet to be achieved, and how diminish that distance. It is not clear, by any means, that this is what the did, Committee since its perh4ps arithmetic does not could not lead to a total, and since the meaning of its terms is not entirely clear. And when the Committee began by looking at the departments as they now exist without a set of models of what departments ought to exist or what kinds of departments those we now have ought to become, that is, without a careful needs assessment, it could not avoid looking at what the administrative decisions of the past five or ten or fifteen years have created. To the extent that the condition of the departments and as in programs it examined was part it certainly was the result of administrative decision, then the Committee’s evaluations were of not evaluations only departments and programs but evaluations of the degree to which the administration had achieved its goals. Either that, or there were measures of the degree of success or failure of individual departments in manipulating their programs in order to produce data influence which would administrative decisions. At its elementary level, most the — — — — unwillingness to accept previous judgements of merit as valid. Since the Committee’s criteria were not planning criteria, 1R reflects the selective allocation of resources to academic units of the university over a period of time. A planning document should of course concern itself with evaluations, but ideally it should define an evaluation phase to follow its definition of goals, should define the criteria to be used in an evaluation', and should ask that the evaluation itself be done by a separate and different group. This is especially important to us for several reasons; the first use of historical is that description as the basis for planning necessarily inhibits the ability of any planner to look at what should be created which does not exist and, in a plus and minus context, inhibits the ability of the planner to see how to change recommend and improvement. As a tactical matter, the use of the Planning Committee as an or committee, evaluation Doomsday Group, meant that the publication of its report would put the faculty of the University on the the entire faculty defensive and create feelings of hostility which could only result in a general unwillingness to accept either the evaluations or the goal-statements of the final Report. In the retrenchment context of last spring, this could and in great measure did lead to a disaffection from the planning process and the Committee which will have to be repaired if the University is either to accept or to continue to participate in the planning process, and in the implementation of the goals — — understand where the buck stops; The President’s charge did not we believe the door to that office define a time period over which should be open. The goals of the Plan were to be achieved; anyone who has read Departmental structure the final Report and its summary The Planning Committee’s of recommendations will see at reliance upon the data sheets once that they mix the long-term 'which they developed to and the immediate. We regret that implement their charge, had some the Committee did not establish serious consequences. Since the its owp time-table, differentiate Committee wanted its data to be ’ clearly between long and comparable, and wanted to judge short-term goals and problems, or comparable activities against each arrange its objectives either in other, at least in part,, they used order of their priority or their the same kind of information for priority in time. The urgency of all programs and departments, and the situation in which they ignored the administrative operated suggests that in many structures within which cases it was defining things to do departments now exist. This right away, but since it did not prevented them from looking at say how soon its goals should or the organization of departments could be reached, it left the actual into Faculties and from seeing the decisions about time to the relationship of a department to President, where it is not the units it was administratively inconceivable that they belong. tied to, or to the entire program, However, we must point out that say, of the Faculty of Educational one advantage of a time-table is Studies. that it makes it easier to tell when The Committee’s definition of or whether we have arrived at a departments as the basic budget goal, and how late or how early 'unit of the University, and their we are. realignment of programs into the Committee had comparable groups, also prevented If a attempted to establish it from seeing across Faculty units order the to time-priority university programs for the by achievement of goals it probably administered the would have had tq look at the University-wide deans.

The use of departmentally relationship betwen those resources and the academic structured data sheets made it inevitable if not desirable as programs which depend on them. they say in the interim report, Although it might be said that the charge, together with the that the Committee’s evaluations constraints of time which kept the would grow out of the sheets, that — Committee from concerning itself with such problems, was fortunate in that it freed the imagination of the Committee, we believe that their Reports would have been substantially improved by their consideration, even in a very general way. Furthermore, the separation of — as they filled in their (unreliable?) the evaluation and data, , budgetary recommendation emerged, almost of itself. Since they had only three grades and since their evaluations were expressed finally in budgetary terms, it was nearly inevitable that they would reward the strong or deserving and punish or eliminate the Committee’s concerns from University’s supporting the weak, whatever the future the and without require services may have the effect that might looking at the necessarily the and only President his staff will finally have the ability to see interdependency of programs the University as a whole or how within and between Faculties or deficiencies in one area affect the the needs of University-wide degree to which and the time at programs.

As I studied the history of Vietnam, I came to realize that our government was supporting the wrong side, for the benefit of a virulent economic system. I had worked in a glass factory, a sheet metal plant and on loading docks, and knew something of the condition of industrial workers. I began to understand these things, along with my observations of racial discrimination and the abuse of women, as something more than cruelties perpetrated by bad individuals. Rather, these injustices appeared more and more as a result of an economic system that puts private profit before people. The FBI’s job is to protect that system.

The electrical prods, injections of air bubbles and teeth-pulling comes later. According to Baraheni, Iran’s dfeaded secret police SAVAK knows no limits in tracking down and torturing Iranians who oppose the fascistic monarchy of the ' • Shah. Since the Shah’s takeover in 1953, a coup engineered by the CIA, more than 300,000 people have been in and out of Iranian prisons, all at the mercy of SAVAK ruthless officers. International Amnesty approximates between 25,000 and 100,000 people are currently political prisoners in Iran. But there’s a new twist in The SAVAK’s operation. government of Iran is now exporting its domestic terrorism to all points of the globe in order to sniff out and eliminate Iranian dissidents. Assistant Secretary of State Alfred Atherton confirmed last month that SAVAK agents are in the United States, monitoring the activities of insurgent Iranian students and intellectuals. In an interview with CBS correspondent Mike Wallace, the Shah himself acknowledged that SAVAK personnel are presently hunting down enemies of his regime in the U.S. Students in danger And more SAVAK squadrons are arriving in the U.S. all the time. Last August, Professor Richard Coltam, of the University of Pittsburgh, was told by a State Department official that SAVAK agents were planning to exploit the cooperation of Mafia elements to snuff out Iranians disloyal to the Shah. “These men,” the professor said, “will appear as ordinary muggers and kill the Iranians one by one.” Cottam warned Baraheni that he may be at the top of the SAVAK hit list. Columnist Jack Anderson recently reported that most ot SAVAK’s dirty tricks are aimed towards the growing number of Iranian students in the U.S. who oppse the Shah’s imperial regime. One secret SAVAK document that Anderson uncovered states, “all branches should send information regarding demonstrations of dissident Iranians, strikes, suspicious traffic, holdings of meetings, publishing Q of publications and conventions and seminars.” The- Iranian government is spending millions of dollars on universities, says American Baraheni, with one aim in mind; to keep Iranian dissidents out of these universities. In the past year, SAVAK agents have repeatedly cropped up on college campuses. At Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore earlier this year, members of the Iranian Students Association (ISA) who were protesting Hopkins’ conferral of an honorary degree upon the Shah’s sister, were quickly whisked away and brutalized by SAVAK agents* posing as news reporters. While Baltimore City Police carried out the actual arrests, SAVAK was given free reign by the University to patrol the proceedings. The ISA believes the United States’ key involvement in the internal affairs of Iran will trigger the next Vietnam. The suddenly oil-rich nation, which Amnesty International says has ‘,the worst record of human rights in the world,” currently hosts 25,000 U.S. military advisors, a number which is expected to climb past 80,000 in the next few years. The U.S. has also sold billions of dollars of arms to the Shah’s tyrannical government, making Iran “unable to wage war without the assistance of the U.S.,-” according to a Senate finding. “If Iran becomes another Vietnam, we can be sure that it was the inhumane and irresponsible policies of the U.S. government, and the excessive greed of American arms corporations that led to the crisis,” asserted Baraheni. The ISA reports that the murder of three Americans in Teheran last August was no freak slaying. The men were„ working for Rockwell International on a multi-million dollar surveilance unit designed to facilitate U.S. espionage in the Persian Gulf, as well as detect dissidents in Iran. “The revolutionary execution of these U.S. agents , is a clear example of the growing intensity of the Iranian peoples’ stuggle interference,” foreign against exhorted a national ISA release. U.S. officials are keeping mum about the infilatration of foreign police agencies in this country and are discouraging inquiries into alleged illegal activities. Atherton claims that sensitive diplomatic relations could be harmed by too much probing. But as was shown by the recent death of Orlando Letelier, the former Chilean ambassador who was knocked off by DINA, Chile’s secret police, these iron hand agencies aren’t just watching their country’s self-exiles. So pay heed to that sunglassed man in the dark, ill-fitting business suit standing for hours by the campus pub. He may be some rattling eccentric, but remember, the evil eye of SAVAK knows no limits. ; blister DOnUt* 832-6666 - Come & watch the games 10c off orders 50c or over between 6-12 pm No known cure New strain of YD isfound by Steve Lemken Special to The Spectrum (CPS) Worried about contracting one of the lesser joys of sex? Are you secure in feeling that a shot of the old cure-all, penicillin, will eradicate any of those nasty, painful symptoms that come packaged with venereal diseases? Did it ever cross your mind that one of the little buggers may be immune to all known cures? The National Center for Disease Control reports there is a new strain pf VO catching both the public and the medical community with their pants down. It’s called Herpes Simplex Virus and there is no known cure. The more common version, HS 2, is generally Called Genital Herpes and its increase as a communicable disease is causing public health officials to have more than an occasional headache. Herpes is not your everyday infectious disease. Unlike gonorrhea or syphillis, which are bacterial infections, herpes is a virus. But unlike other known curable virus infections (i.e., Hong Kong flu), herpes will lodge in the nerve cells. Permanently antibodies already present, or injected, have little or no effect. Normally the human body can produce its own defenses, antibodies, which will attack and kill foreign substances. Even after a case of measles, mumps or the flu, the body will build up resistance to ward the disease off the next time around. One health oifficial in Denver, Colorado said that 90 percent of the adult population over twenty have — - y- DOZEN DONUTS of your choice with I.D. Card herpes antibodies already built into their circulatory system. These will gobble up some of the herpes virus entering the body but the disease can still be caught and the symptoms are quite painful. Number two slot Recent studies confirm that women who have herpes have eight times greater chance of getting cervical cancer. One medical test estimates that six percent of the women who have herpes will get cervical cancer within five years. One of every four infants of infected mothers die at birth. Children that do survive may have serious complications, including brain damage. Although gonorrhea is still first on the list of venereal diseases, herpes is bucking for the number two slot with an estimated 300,000 persons infected annually. Symptoms include either cold sores around the mouth or blisters and open sores around the genitals, thighs or buttocks. The symptoms may disappear within a month but may recur periodically up to two years after the initial contact. While the virus itself cannot be killed, local treatments may be applied to reduce pain and prevent infection. Several other treatments are now being studies in Seattle, Washington. Doctors recommend no sexual contact if a person has lesions, or open sores. Any sign of the above symptoms warrants an immediate visit to a doctor or local health clinic-.

The Spectrum . Page seven �EditPrial Manipulated academic plan The release of the Interim Report of the President's Committee on the Future of the University created a small uproar here last year. At that time, the findings in the Interim Report appeared suspiciously similar to the educational philosophies outlined by President Robert Ketter in his charge to the Committee. Although last year detractors from the Interim Report were cautioned that its response from the findings would be modified University, actual revisions made in the final draft, released this summer, were negligable. The preliminary draft report of the Faculty Senate Select Committee to Respond to the Academic Plan now confirms those suspicions. It shows that the similarities in the Academic Plan to Ketter's vision of the University are more than intellectual coincidence: the similarities are a direct result of Ketter's apparently calculated influence and the Committee's sheepish inability to question that influence. Ketter's desire that this University have an academic plan, something most institutions of higher learning do not, is commendable. His zeal in "preparing" the committee that would issue that plan, however, evidences nothing less than manipulation. Can the academic plan be taken seriously when the President had already circumscribed the data it used, how it should proceed, the steps it took in reaching a conclusions, and the scope of its findings. The response to the academic plan also reports that Ketter "went to the immense trouble to provide his own statement of the goals and aspirations of the University as 'the first point of reference.' That the Academic Planning Committee never dealt critically with the stage Ketter set is perhaps its most surprising failure. It shatters any pretense the Committee might make to objectivity. We will not now discuss the substance of the Committee's recommendations, its ramifications, or of education we implies. Instead, it wish only thephilosophy to raise the question of Ketter's ability to impanel a What is teaching worth? To the Editor: First, I would like to define what is teaching by comparing it to independent study. The process of teaching requires the professor to expand on and consequently, facilitate the understanding of specific material contained in the course book. Independent study entails the dual role of professor and student. Material covered perfunctorily in the course book has to be understood by the student as well as material covered sufficiently without the aid of a professor! Even with independent study, there is still the necessity to get help from the professor on difficult problems or concepts. General Physics is a course designed for independent study. A paradox arises because what then is the professor’s role in the learning process. He just reiterates the material covered in the course book and aids those students with specific problems from the text. Isn’t this just independent study? One finds a totally different picture when with General contrasting General Physics professors Chemistry The Chemistry. understand that the course book is lax in certain areas and they teach accordingly. The above two examples are just simplistic pictures comparing the two introductory science courses I enrolled in. I will not go into which course, Physics or Chemistry, is the more difficult. All 1 am trying to emphasize is that the General Physics course should be engineered more to the needs of the student by having the professor assume a more active role in the learning process. Finally, who is teaching General Chemistry next semester, since the professor is such an intrinsic part of the learning process? A Chem Student " committee whose report is molded by his design as much as theirs, operating on a pretense of academic freedom. Unfortunately, Ketter and the Academic Planning Committee's performance demonstrate that, as the Response Committee says, participitory planning may be only a management device to get us accustomed to the tumbrills and the guillotine. This then is the level at which Ketter's academic plan 'and it it truly his) was achieved. Course description delayed To the Editor.

The Spectrum publishing regulations, we had to shift to a new publisher, and in the transition we missed a revised pre-registration schedule. Such mishaps shall not happen in the future. Forseeing for the “crime” of sexual ingenuous cries from the perpetrators of these arrests that they were “only enforcing the law,” it becomes essential to fathom that the antiscientific and repressive Judeo-Christian Moralism, which underlies these typocritical attacks on personal rights, is part and parcel of bourgeois class dominated society, and that their vindictive hired guns are in fact “only doing their jobs.” Therefore, to pose Utopian liberal parlimentary reforms, by any but the most cretinoid, is to criminally ignore the fact that the steel grip on the state apparatus by the bourgeoisie and its cynical supporters is, in part, fundamentally dependent upon the maintenance of the inefficient and unhealthy nuclear family; furthermore, that the laws in society are merely reflecting the interests of the ruling class. Obviously, under sufficient public pressure, legal reforms would be implemented to ease the persecution of gays (or any other specially oppressed group). However, these reforms will be reversed in the reactionary backlashes which are inevitable when class rule is threatened. Contemporary history shows that these threats are in themselves unavoidable in this period of putrifying capitalism, as irrational modes of production and distribution guarantee scarcity for the vast masses of people, despite material and technological resources capable ot providing undreamed of abundance for all. In the final analysis, Gays are antagonistic to the capitalist modus operandi. True liberation for homosexuals, and ultimately for mankind as a whole, can only be possible when the material basis for the oppression is lifted. To this end, the resolute smashing of the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie and the implementation of rule by a Leninist Vanguard Party, which objectively serves the International Proletarian Class against reaction in the transitional epoch, is the sole solution (to make a long story short). Philistine psychophants (supposedly revolutionaries) of the Stalinist bureaucracies in the deformed/degenerated workers’ states ot Cuba, China, and the U.S.S.R. which sit parasitically atop the defensible gains of their respective revolutions, support repression of Gays, despite a tradition of defense of homosexuals by the early second International and the Third International under Lenin. The inheritor of these traditions in today’s world lies with revolutionary Trotskyism, which alone provides a cogent path forward. Spartacus Youth League Club �TRB. Hamilton Jordan, Jimmy Carter’s young campaign manager, has been falling all over himself apologizing for telling Playboy that the Carter Administration would have failed and he would quit if Cyrus Vance became Secretary of State and Zbigniew Brzezinksi became head of the National Security Council staff. He says he chose poor examples in making the point that Carter would bring fresh faces into the government, since both men are under serious consideration for high level jobs. The time for guessing what Carter is going to do will, soon be past. In another two or three weeks we should begin finding out whether Carter’s outsider stance and anti-Washington line during the campaign were no more than a gimmick to appeal to a public fed up with the old crowd or whether he actually will bring a lot of outsiders into his administration. Jordan said he expected the new Secretary of the Treasury would come from inside the financial community and would serve as a bridge to the business world. This sounded like another hint .that Carter was backing away from the anti-establishment approach of his campaign. A sign that pointed in the opposite direction was Carter’s list of eleven persons described as representative of those who would be advising him on appointments. First on the list was the Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, president of Notre Dame University and former chairman of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. Father Hesburgh is no stranger to Washington, but he brings with him 4 gale of fresh air, whether the issue is chronic discrimination against American citizens or chronic disregard for the interests of the peoples of underdeveloped nations. Another in the group was a Jacksonville, Mississippi manufacturer who is a former moderator of the Southern Baptist Convention. The list included, not the usual one black, but three blacks. Four were women. And there wasn’t a single big-name Washington WASP lawyer, Ivy League professor or pillar of the Council on Foreign Relations. For the record, here are the others: Lucy W. Benson, Former president of the League of Lane Voters; Kirkland, Women secretary-treasurer of the AFL-CIO; Vernon Jordan, executive director of the Urban League; Carol Foreman, executive director of the Urban League; Carol Foreman, executive director of the Consumer Federation of America; Marion Wright Edelman, executive director of the Children’s Defense Fund; Robert Strauss, Democratic National chairman of the Committee; Hank L. Coya, chairman of the division of the Carter-Mondale Hispanic Mississippi Cooper, the campaign; Owen businessman and lay religious leader; Irving Shapiro, chairman of the board of E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. and chairman of the Business Roundtable, and Patricia Roberts Harris, a Washington attorney who was chairman of the 1972 Democratic National Convention and is a former Ambassador to Luxembourg and dean of the Howard University Law School. If Carter worries about his narrow margin of Victory and develops an early pre-occupation with how to win reeiection in 1980, he won’t Bor pay much attention to the advice he gets from people like that. If this happens, he will more likely look to the American establishment for advice in making appointments and planning policies. That was part of John F. Kennedy’s trouble. Although he had written “Profiles in Courage,” he took the path of caution after being elected by a similarly close vote. The day after the election, he announced that he would keep J. Edgar Hoover as head of the FBI and Allen W. Dulles as head of the CIA. Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. suggested afterward that Kennedy knew better but considered the two men unassailable. But it was only eight days later that Dulles broke the news to Kennedy that plans for the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba were already well underway. The trouble that Hoover and Dulles later made for Kennedy outweighed any political advantage he obtained by reassuring their admirers and taking them into his administration. When Kennedy looked for suggestions for the top jobs in his administration, he went to the safety of the American Establishment and offered one of its leaders, Robert A. Lovett, his State, choice of the three top cabinet jobs Defense or the Treasury. When Lovett turned him down, Kennedy took his advice in naming Dean Rusk as Secretary of State and Robert S. McNamara as Secretary of Defense. Their most lasting contributions were to lead first Kennedy and then Lyndon Johnson info the Vietnam War. What is more, Kennedy was so trusting that he decided on Rusk without checking sufficiently to find out about a long and close relationship between Rusk and John Foster Dulles, the of State in the Eisenhower Secretary Administration. Instead of innovation, Kennedy was endorsing continuation. Choosing outsiders and fresh faces doesn’t necessarily mean avoiding anyone over 50 and anyone who has been working in Washington. There are Some old Washington hands who have always been outsiders. Not that Mike Mansfield is looking for work, but he displayed his independence and youthfulness of spirit when he returned from China and urged bluntly that the United States break relations with Taiwan, abrogate the American defense commitments and get on with establishing full diplomatic relations with Peking. However Carter proceeds, the old order already has changed profoundly and will go on changing. The Council on Foreign Relations has some influential rivals, notably Thomas R. Hughes’ complex of foreign policy operations at the Carnegie Endowment for International HOT (£R ifieo uw I ww ee (Sa cwr. — (i-'i Peace. A membership movement called New Directions, modeled after Common Cause and headed by former Gov. Russell W. Peterson of Delaware, will be lobbying on foreign affairs issues. Farther out, Sanford Gottlieb at SANE has been pressing for effective arms control and disarmament, and Morton Halperin at the Project on National Security and Civil Liberties has been documenting what he accurately calls “the crimes of the U.S. intelligence agencies.” These outsiders have a powerful new weapon in the amended Freedom of Information Act. And younger staffers in the State Department and sometimes even in the Defense Department are increasingly receptive to what the outsiders,have to say. Jimmy Carter campaigned as a spokesman for the outsiders. He can be their leader if he chooses. More to life To the Editor. In response to the rash of letters in regard to the our pre-med chemistry department, perhaps colleagues should re-examine their attitudes. The goal of a college education is not to prove one can take organic chemistry with two other courses and get an A the fourth time around. Perhaps if our had a little backbone and “forced” themselves to take four technical courses in a semester, they will realize a little insight into the subject matter is required. Our pre-med colleagues have quite clearly lost their prespective on education, perhaps if they were expected to take four technical courses a semester, as the engineers are required to do, they will find the work quite exhilarating. After all, if you don’t find the work rewarding, you’re in the wrong mqjor. Hopefully this attitude is not demonstrative of the majority of pre-meds for it shows a definite lack of dedication. Grades, like anything else measured by a number, cannot be taken as an absolute quantity, in the case of our pre-med friends who can’t even hack three courses a semester, grades are a fair measure of friends Lost time in Physics 101 To the Editor. I am writing this to make the right people aware of what is happening in Physics 101. We have now missed 12 out of 26 scheduled classes this semester. These 12 missed classes were days that the professor did not teach. He canceled two classes in the beginning of the semester due to his lack of organization. Then he was holding classes 50 minutes instead of 1 hr. 20 min. resulting in time lost equalling another two classes. He was sick twice and did not get a replacement. We spent, another two classes talking about why all this is happening. Two more were lost due to tests and finally, two more were lost during the snow storm. I don’t know what should be done about this, but loosing 46% of class time in a course like Physics surely must have grave consequences. As I said I am writing this to make the right people aware of what is happening here. I have never heard of this happening in any other course, therefore I have no suggestions as to what would remedy this serious situation. I hope the proper people see this and can figure out a solution to this. incompetence. There is more to life than being a doctor and certainly there is more to college than heating the bottom line for your A. So to our pre-med friends the only advice we can give is, “The only successful substitute for brains is silence.” Rcdlich Student of Physics 101 Wednesday, 8 December 1976 . Kwong The Spectrum . Page nine �NACC Addicts receive treatment; alternative to prison by Philip Mitchell Special to The Spectrum addiction. At the same time, a probation report is compiled. The three reports are then forwarded to the courts, the outcome to be at the judge’s discretion. There are two types of certification civil and criminal. A civil commitment can be initiated by anyone who knows the addict. A petition is filed in court stating that the individual is addicted to drugs. The judge issues a court order that he process. certification the undergo Unfortunately, it is not uncommon that non-addicts are both certified and committed. A civil commitment lasts three years, with at least six months spent on in-patient status. The facility, however, has the option to delay release through the end of an addict’s certification. For years heroin addicts had been treated in psychiatric centers that were little different from jails; more and more people realized that drug usage was spreading despite incarceration. As mental hospitals were becoming overcrowded with addicts that had no psychiatric problems to begin with, it was obvious that a more specific treatment program was needed. In April of 1967 a statewide addiction treatment program was instituted by Known as ex-Governor Rockefeller. Narcotic Addiction Control Commission (NACC), the program’s purpose was to treat addicts facing jail terms, therefore cutting down on prisftn population and creating alternatives to*the recitivistic cycle Desirable alternative and release, prison, of addiction, There are several reasons why an addict re-addiction. would certify himself. First, an addict Based on a similar California program, seriously seeking help would know there is teach various some place to turn, if necessary, for attempted to NACC vocations, including an academic program assistance.

In desirable alternative to prison. ‘the Rockefeller Commlsion,’ mainly because a criminal facing a lengthy sentence could get off with five years in Criminal certification A criminal certification is imposed by NA'CG. Since the Commission was set up running many courts, times the only as a treatment center for addicts, a concurrently with probation Or parole. A way to determine addiction had to be instituted. criminal certification lasts five years instead of three and the court may attach A certification process was set up wherein a person claiming addiction is first conditions to it. The judge can place an seen by a psychiatrist to determine the offender on probation (an avoided jail degree psychological term; though the individual is supervised) addict’s of dependency. Based on that report, a and simultaneously sentence him into physician examines the' individual to NACC. This stipulation is called the Pilot determine the existence of actual physical Project Three (PP3), and makes the addict - v responsible to both an after care officer (from the Narcotic Addiction. Control Commission), and a county probation officer. This is done if the court feels stricter supervision's required. Parole is the conditional release of an the sentence is not inmate, though suspended. The Pilot Project Four is a program combining the efforts of the parole board and NACC. If arrested, the parolee is in violation of parole and can be returned to prison, possibly for the remainder of his sentence. PP4 is geared to treat a parolee with a drug problem instead of returning him to prison. Non-addicts committed Unfortunately, many lawyers have been known to make deals with the District Attorney’s office to insure a certification for their defendant, regardless of whether actual addiction is present. Deals between DA’s and the defense attorney though illegal, are widespread and done for several It cuts down on court reasons. expenditures, providing more room in court for other cases. As a result, criminals with no drug history flood rehabilitation centers, forcing tighter security. This, in turn, produces higher anxiety and tension levels among inmates and officers. Furthermore, these certified non-addicts displace those who need and are entitled to the space, forcing them to be removed to prisons. Changes in NACC Until 1972. NACC would only accept narcotic addicts. There was, however, a growing need to treat other types of drug problems. Spurring this on was the fact that drugs had become a problem in suburbia as well as the ghetto. Since suburban teenagers were not as exposed to heroin, they started using speed, downs and LSD. NACC was expanded to become the Drug Abuse Control Commission (DACC) tQ treat poly-drug abusers, as well as heroin addicts. At the same time, stricture controls were placed on diet and sleeping pills, along with cough syrups containing narcotics. It became necessary to create several more facilities to treat the growing number of abusers. One facility opened September 1. 1973 in Otisville, New York, close to Middleton in Orange County. Once a reformatory used by the Department for Youth, it was a minimum security institution that could hold three hundred and fifty people. Rehabilitation Otisville Originally, Center (ORC) was accepting non-narcotic drug abusers only, arguing that narcotic addicts were security risks and required closer supervision. However, their eighth admittance was an addict, and from that point on, addicts were sent to Otisville Rehabilitation Center as well as the higher security facilities. Facilities close, women lose became , Vice Rockefeller massive budget cuts started throughout New York State. Governor Carey, during his campaign and first months in office, stated that large institutions caused recitivism and made readjustment to the community more difficult because bf the regimented lifestyle on inmates. He cited the imposed Department of Mental Hygiene, • and specifically DACC, as one program responsible for such institutionalization. ■ The budget cuts were first felt in the spring of 1975. Nine of the existing twelve DACC facilities have been closed in the last eighteen months. This left three of the larger institutions open: Masten Park, in Buffalo; Manhattan Rehabilitation Center and Melrose Rehab in the Bronx. Manhattan R.C. is now' the only facility remaining that treats women. Therefore, a certified to the Buffalo woman Commission must be transferred to Manhattan for treatment. Although visits from friends and family are perhaps the best therapy available, the current situation makes that practically impossible. One can imagine how frustrating this can become, especially while women from New York City have visitors frequently. To further complicate the matter, overcrowding and rape produce great tensidft and are Once President, widespread. It would seem that DACC has become a token Commission, with many officers never learning one’s name while demanding pistols to protect themselves from inmates. With this type of situation prevailing, one wonders what kind of therapy is possible. The next article will deal with Masten Park specifically and what it is actually like to be confined in a DACC institution. �■vwwwvv FIND IT COMMUTER BREAKFAST - Wednesday, Dec. 8th in The Student 8 am 12 Noon Fillmore Room Norton - Directory - £veiyo ne Tree Bewrafe®' INTERSEMESTER COURSES at Daemen College December 28 January 14 - UL.

It seems that one day they play championship hockey, and the next day they revert to schoolyard shinny. Things were no different this past weekend at the Elmira Invitational Tournament, where the Bulls finished second to the host Elmira College Soaring Eagles. On Saturday, the Bulls played their Tiniest hockey of the year, dumping arch-rival Oswego 6—4, in the tournament’s opening round. But the following day they were “surprised” by Elmira, 5—1, and had to settle for the runners-up position. Against Oswego, the Bulls could do no wrong, and they avenged their 4—3 overtime loss to the Great Lakers earlier in the year. John Moore provided by Robert Bodziner Buffalo coach Ed Wright could offer little in the way of a reason. “We had an excellent effort against Oswego on Saturday, but yesterday was a different story; we just couldn’t get started,” said Wright, “I’d hate to think that they [Elmira] wanted the game more. They’re for real, but I find it hard to believe that they have better personnel then we do. “I do think that the officials had a lot to do with the momentum of the game. I feel that we got the short end of the stick,” continued Wright. “I think that they were a contributing factor in our inability to get on track.” Bagocus not at fault Whatever the reasons were, though, rookie Mike Bagocus consequences. the payed Although Bagocus was the losing netminder in the earlier loss to Elmira, this time the defeat was not his fault. In fact, he made 44 stops in the contest, as the Bulls Buffalo with another solid game were badly outshot, 49—23. in the nets, registering 40 saves, “Mike played a good garhe,” said and Tony Scaringi returned to the Wright of his goalie. “Our lack of lineup to add leadership as well as effort is not reflected upon his defensive savvy.

A Victory over Cortland have no trouble in the final game only help the Bulls get not would against Elmira, in spite of the back into the playoff picture, but Eagles upset victory in Buffalo would certainly aid what must be two weeks ago. After all, if the a somewhat confused mental Bulls could beat the favorite attitude. Oswego squad, then it stands to Wright has said that Moore will reason that they could handle the return to the goal on Friday, and Eagles as well.

Last Saturday afternoon at the Clark Gym pool, the men’s swimming team opened up their 1976-77 season a against St. consistently strong Bonaventure team. It was a hard fought, extremely tight meet that was decided on the final race of the contest. St. Bonaventure won that last race, along with the entire meet by a slim margin of five points, 59-54. In the next event, the 500 yard freestyle, Brenner set a new school record with an amazing time of 5:13.8. Brenner was remarkable eleven and one half seconds faster than Bonaventure’s second finisher. Paul place Glauber made a clutch third place finish for the Bulls in this event. This race put Buffalo on top again by two points. The 200 yard breast stroke was a tight race, with Cesar Lopez placing second for Buffalo. Bonaventure now had a one point lead, 49-48, and the action moved to the one meter optional diving The match began on a good for the Bulls, as then relay note Jim Harding, team of breaststroker Cesar Lopez, butterflyer George Finelli and freestyler Chuck Niles finished first in the 400 yard medley relay. This spotted the Bulls to a 7-0 lead, a cushion that they held throughout most of the contest. The second race, the 1000 yard freestyle, was won by the Bonnies, despite a strong swim by Buffalo’s Paul Glauber, who placed second. event. In this competition, both Doran and. Frasca moved up a notch in their placing from their contest, as Doran previous finished tirst and Frasca third. Doran’s point total was 222.6, while Frasca’s was 145.55. With only one event to go, the 400 yard freestyle relay, the Bulls had regained a slim two point lead, 54-52. Unfortunately, Buffalo lost that event, despite strong legs by Brenner and Jaremka. far As as Buffalo was concerned, it was a tough race to lose, and it was even harder to accept the 59-54 loss to the Bonnies. Coach Bill Sanford, although disheartened by the tight defeat, still saw many bright spots for the future. He looked forward to their next match against Geneseo State College to possibly get their first notch in the victory column. > SHARE THE RIDE WITH US THIS CHRISTMAS AND GET ON TO A GOOD THING.

The first of these competitions was the 200 yard freestyle, which Jim Brenner won easily with a time of 1:53.9, over a second faster than the second place finisher. The second event was a quick sprint, the 50 yard freestyle, and it was barely won by Buffalo’s Peter Jaremka with a time of 23.5 seconds.

Williamson and Buffalo coach Leo Richardson like to run the fast break, which usually creates an exciting, high-scoring game. Howard comes to Buffalo with a 2-0 record, as a result of wins over Catholic University and Hampden Institute. Buffalo, 1-2 on the year, beat Long Island last Tuesday night, but lost to Niagara (in double overtime) and Fairleigh Dickinson. Howard is led by 6-7 forward Jerald Glover, who averaged fourteen points per game last year. He works well inside, has a good jump shot, and is a strong re bounder. At the other forward spot is a 6-9 sophomore from Akron, John Mullin. Six-eight Mike Nettle is the pivotman. This week's co &thletes of the week, Kirk Anderson and Ray Pfieffer, have a lot in common. Both are juniors, both are on the wrestling team, and both captured a first place trophy at the Bucknell Invitational over the weekend. Co-captain Anderson wrestles at 158, while Pfieffer weighs in at 126. Their two first place finishes helped the Bulls capture fourth place out of ten schools in the teams standings. m ma m am m NEED MONEY? WANT A JOB WITH FLEXIBLE HOURS?

BUFFALO 4M0MCW1 MR15MD€RS SCHOOL ■ FOR DISCOUNTS OFFERED TO STUDENTS, FACULTY AND STAFF THE STUDENT DIRECTORY r A Howard has two quick backcourt men. The point guard is Senior Angelo Council, who made All-Conference two years ago, but had an off year last year. He has shown signs of returning to form, as he le<J the Bisons with seven assists against Hampden. Their other guard is sophomore David Whitehead, who has an excellent outside shot. The Bulls have been sparked by senior guard George Cooper this year. Cooper has been averaging over 19 points per game and is also leading the team in assists. Cooper drives very well, and can shoot from twenty feet to keep the defense honest. Buffalo’s other starting guard has been Ed Johnson, a transfer from Albany. His shooting style looks a bit awkward, but his 50% shooting average is nothing to be ashamed of. Height advantage Up front, Howard will have a slight height advantage. The Bulls center, 6-8 Vi Sam Pellbm, led the nation in rebounding last year, although injuries have slowed him some this season. He is till averaging nearly eleven rebounds and over twelve points per game. Buffalo’s forwards are two 6-6 seniors, Sam Robinson and Eric Spence. Spence is at home close to the basket, and as a result, has begun the year shooting 75 percent from the floor. Robinson is more effective than Spence away from the basket, but can rebound just as well. Both have been averaging 8.7 rebounds per game thus far. The Bulls’ bench has seen quite a bit of action this season. Junior forward Larry Jones has played as many minutes as Spence, while guards Donald Scott and forward Vernell Washington also will be counted on. Williamson, like Richardson, believes in the team concept. Against Hampden (an eight point win for Howard), Williamson used eleven of his fifteen players. Richardson used ten players in Buffalo’s three point win over LIU.

Ketter repeatedly insisted, as he did last year, that he is bound by legal constraints which prohibit him from recognizing GSEU, and therefore could only discuss “the issues. Following a similar impasse last year, GSEU entered and then broke off negotiations with the Public Employees Relations Board (PERB), which Ketter has repeatedly pointed out is the only division of state government in Albany responsible for recognizing unions. The abbreviated meeting in Ketter’s office was the first in many months between GSEU representatives and the Ketter administration. Following last year’s pattern, it was held only after extended haggling over when and under what conditions it would take place. Voluntary recognition sought The deabte between Ketter and the Union has evolved into a question of how far Ketter can go in recognizing, or encouraging PERB to recognize, GSEU. Union members maintained Monday that Ketter can voluntarily recognize the Union, or bring officials from Albany to campus for that purpose. $56.6 million some in construction funds to begin the work. The money, appropriated by the State Legislature during the year two-and-a-half building freeze and recently recommended for reappropriation by Governor Carey now lies backlogged, — unused, and waiting to be spent. “DOB has just been sitting on (Jus money,” said James DeSantis, University of Director Information Services. “And they haven’t given a reason why.” Money wasted The five stalled buildings, which include two service the Biology warehouses, Laboratory Greenhouse, and two structures to house Cjvil and Mechanical Engineering, would run an estimated $13.5 million. The rest of the $56 million would go for new structure design, completion of present structures, Certification of a union by PERB depends on two main points; Are Teaching and Graduate Assistants (TAs and GAs) employees of the University, and does the Union exist as a statewide entity? “We are insisting that the mental set of recourse to administrative structure [in Albany] be changed. GSEU’s issues concern this campus specifically,” GSEU member Michael Sartisky said. Ketter answered that although he sympathized with the issues affecting TAs and GAs, he on principle did not believe they were employed by the University. Union members charged in the meeting that assistants to Ketter had argued against recognizing the Union to PERB officials in Albany. Ketter denied this, saying the only information he submitted to PERB or that his assistants testified about in Albany concerned the University’s budget and matters pertaining to the University’s operations. As demonstrators’ chanting was heard from outside the plush Hayes Hall office [see story on page 3], Ketter sparred with the delegation from GSEU over the legal semantics of Union recognition. Although they did not speak, Ketter was accompanied by his assistant, Ronald Stein, Graduate Dean McAllister Hull, Academic Affairs Vice President Robert Bunn, and Vice President for Student Affairs Richard Siggelkow. On the table Typical of the exchange was Ketter resignedly saying he “only wanted to get the issues on the table,” and GSEU, while still unconvinced of Ketter’s sincerity on the roads, utility projects, parking lots and landscaping. Sources here report that this University is far behind the other three State Universities in building development. Although Stony Brook, Albany and Binghamton are all approximately 90 percent completed, built in part with tuition monies from larger SUNY Buffalo, the Amherst Campus is now only 40 percent complete. to Originally intended accommodate 40,000 students, Amherst has been scaled down to handle 25,500 because of a decrease in projected enrollments; —continued on pgge 2— issues, demanding that Ketter work out a contract with the Union Later in the day GSEU spokespersons said the Union never wanted to strike and hoped formal negotiations leading to a contract would have made a strike unnecessary. But “as a result of Ketter’s utter instransigence,” the strike referendum, scheduled to begin next Monday, will be held as planned. “We must hold Dr. Ketter responsible for the situation that led us to this impasse,” Union members added. Immediately after the 25-minute meeting. Academic Affairs Vice President Bunn revealed that a committee would be formed to collect information on current practices and policies on GAs and TAs. Bunn envisioned the committee as one made up of deans, department heads and graduate students. Bunn said the committee was one of a number of academic committees being formed which would make recommendations to Ketter later this spring, and that the committee should not be viewed as a response to the issues raised by GSEU., GSEU’s strike referendum last year fell short by 17 votes. Union members bitterly crticized an article which appeared in The Reporter just prior to the balloting, which argued against the merits of graduate students unionizing. GSEU has supported better wages for TAs and GAs, guarantee of tuition waivers, comprehensive medical insurance and worker’s compensation, and restoration of cuU graduate and teaching assistantships. GSEU, has also supported fulfilling the goals of affirmative action, smaller class size and retention of the four-course load. �Academic planning seminar The Faculty of Engineering and Applied Sciences will present Thomas Martin, President of the Illinois institute of Technology, in a lecture entitled “Objectives, Strategies and Tactics in Academic Planning,” at 2 p.m. today in 239 Hayes Hall. Construction being at present 40 percent of the scaled down plan, Amherst is now large enough for a student body of about 10,000. Current total enrollment is 23,000. While DOB refuses to spend the funds apportioned by the Legislature, $2.5 million is spent every year to rent 12 outside areas for operating space, including Bell Hall and the Ridge Lea Campus facilities; an annual inter-campus busing bill of $437,000 must be paid; a seven or eight percent inflation rate eats away at the buying power of the unused construction funds. All three expenses erode the State’s ability to complete the new campus. (At an average inflation rate of seven percent over the past two years, dollars that could have paid for $50 million worth of construction in 1975 can now pay for about $43 million worth.) —continued from page 1— . . .

FIESTA 77 �Wallowing in Watergate Dirty tricks highlight student elections at Colorado campus between the candidates in which police were called to settle the dispute arose from a cartoon that CRAP by Carol O’Connor Special to The Spectrum Despite a campaign filled with dirty phonejamming, distributing derogatory tricks leaflets and even a physical confrontation between only 1,266 students of an estimated candidates 19,000 at the University of Colorado at Boulder turned out to elect their student government (CPS) — — — executives. In an exercise that clearly demonstrated that the students had been observing recent politics, the dirty trick for various candidat j fought it out dirty trick to determine which student coalition would have indirect control over nearly $3.2 million in student fees. Things got so bad that the Colorado Daily, an independent newspaper serving the Boulder campus, refused to endorse and candidate’s coalition for the executive positions since “ethical cleanliness” was one of the qualities the Daily valued in a candidate. The candidates who finally won were the Robin Powers-Hewitt Hallock-Dan Caplis liberal slate. The Critical Rational Analysis Party (CRAP) candidates, Laura Tisoncik and Dave Kent, came in second with 879 votes, with the Minorities Coalition, Concerned Students Coalition/Liberal Students Coalition (CSC/LSC) and Susan Groth, a lone candidate after her running-mate Dave Thielen was disqualified at the last moment all trailing in. — — Phone-jamming The phone-jamming scheme came to light this election, although it happened last election. Nili Lange (as in ski boots) and her running-mate Henry Tobin of the CSC Coalition, were involved in a phone-jamming effort last election that jammed the lines to a ROTC-backed candidate’s office. Liberals traditionally clobber conservative candidates on the Boulder campus, but Lange and Tobin felt more effort was needed on their parts to defeat the ROTC candidate. There were no criminal violations for their phone-jamming ploy, sources say. Interestingly, the physical confrontation candidate Laura Tisoncik drew on a chalk board during a meeting that was derogatory to CSC candidate Lang. The cartoon, according to sources, depicted a man with a foot on a soap box derby car with the caption that the Lange family was “Big in Sports.” Lange’s uncle, Robert B. Lange, was involved in an incident in which the car he helped build for the race was found to be against racing rules. Gobble, gobble The police were summoned after Hewitt Hallock threw Tisconcik out of the meeting. Through ads in the Daily and literature CRAP party members claimed to be anarchists ready to slash $250,000 from the UCSU’s operating budget, and to stop political favoritism and allow optional funding for special interest groups. No one is sure who distributed leaflets calling candidates Dave Thielen a “turkey” throughout women’s toilet’s, but disqualified candidate Thielen wasn’t phased at that tactic, nor was he pleased when he was disqualified from the race at the last minute after the Student Government Court of Appeals ruled that since he is enrolled in the Division of Continuing Education and is not assessed student fees, he is therefore ineligible for office. Thielen appealed the decision to Boulder District Court where Judge Richard Dana agreed with the student government’s attorney, Patricia Madsen, who maintained “it is mandatory” for UCSU executives to pay the required student fees as they receive benefits of such assessments. Thielen’s name was removed and his running-mate forced to run alone. Thielen’s attorney pointed out that Thielen has already spent more than $900 on the race. However, despite all the publicity that the dirty tricks of the recent campaign generated, it was an exceptionally light voter turn out in Boulder campus politics. Perhaps, students really don’t give a damn about politics anymore, said one source. 2250 AM/FM STEREO RECEIVER • • • • • O • _w_ • SO WATTS MINIMUM RMS PER CHANNEL, AT 8 OHMS FROM 20 Hi to 20 kHi, WITH NO MORE THAN 0.25% TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION Phot* Locked Loop (PLi) FM Multiplex Demodulator Bats, Mid and Treble Controls, with Variable Tone Turnover Points 25/iS Dolby FM De-emphasis Network Two Tuning Meters for AM/FM Signal Strength and FM "Center Channel" Tape Outputs For Two Tope Decks FM Quodrodiol Output Jacks AT ALLTRONICS THIS WbbK.

The crowd of undergraduates, graduates and faculty marched and stood in the moderate cold to show, according to Union member Michael Sartisky, the initial rally speaker, “that you support the Union as it goes in to negotiate, or begin the process of negotiating, a graduate employee contract. Nothing less will do.” The mass meeting, which began in Squire (Norton) and rallied later at Hayes Hall, was the scheduled meeting at 3 p.m. between University President Robert Ketter and Union representatives, the president of the Graduate Student Association and the editor of The Spectrum. The subject matter, according to an administration letter to the GSEU, would center on issues of “concern” to the University’s graduate student employees. The ralliers sang several union songs, chanted and listened to several speakers including Sartisky; Chris Lubinski, on behalf of the Union; Cindy Whiting, for the GSEU Undergraduate Support Committee; and Paul Krehbiel, on state-wide efforts to fight the decline of New York’s public higher education.

Peace Corps projects worldwide need nearly 2200 volunteers to begin work this summer. And, in an about-face from last year, VISTA has increased its recruiting efforts to fill American in projects volunteer 1977 communities. “That means a applicant will have a very good chance of being selected by the Peace Corps or VISTA,” Atkinson, Chris reports ACTION’S manager of recruitment fn upstate New York. Going into its sixteenth year Peace Corps enables Americans with specific skills or degrees to live and work for two years in a developing country. Language training and living expenses are provided in addition to travel, medical support and an extra allotment of $125 for each month of service as a volunteer. Since 1965, VISTA has provided sponsors in local communities with skilled volunteers to staff community development projects for one year. A minimal allowance is provided to cover food, rent, medical expenses and vacation. VISTA sets aside an extra $50 for each month of the volunteer’s service. College loans are defferable while a person is a volunteer in either program. , Who qualifies? A college degree is usually the minimum unless a person offers experience. working substantial Cooperating countries and domestic volunteers; request the sponsors depends on the a deal great consequently, flexibility of the volunteer. Interested people should apply as soon as possible. Completion of placement, medical exams, references, and passport applications requires two to three months. Within Peace Corps skills in great demand include: 1) science graduates (Math, Physics, Biology and Chemistry) with or without teacher training; 2) people have studied some French; 3) who engineers (road, water resource and business architects, structural), administrators and accountants; 4) health professionals such as nurses, therapists and lab technologists; 5) secondary school teachers; 6) home economists, nutritionists or social work majors with related skills; and 7) agriculture and mechanical trades specialists, many of whom qualify on experience alone. Compared to Peace Corps, VISTA is often more flexible in determining qualifications for particular positions. As a rule, openings involve working and living with low-income groups. Projects include legal associations, aid, neighborhood social work, drug-rehabilitation, special education and skilled trades training. Prior volunteer work can be an important asset to a VISTA applicant. Recruiters to arrive Many people are unsure if Peace Corps or VISTA is right for them, but Rodbourne encourages'them to abply anyway. “An application is not a commitment, but it will elicit specific project suggestions from in placement personnel ACTION’S Rochester. After that, an individual can decide if the project is worthwhile.” Students here who have considered joining Peace Cofps or VISTA will have a chance to find out more about these ACTION programs.

Just • eat your sandwich while running your machines. And then they close the plant. They shut us out... that’s what they said they’d do and that’s what they did. Teach us a lesson. England in the 1890’s? America in the 1920’s? Or Georgia in the 1970’s? These words were spoken by Addie Jackson of Statesboro, Georgia in 1973 after the J.P. Stevens Co., the world’s second largest textile company, closed the plant in which she worked rather than deal with the textile workers’ union. "... organizing it ” During the long struggle between union forces and the J.P. Stevens Co., the company has earned the dubious distinction of being “America’s Number One Corporate Law Breaker.” This is no idle claim. Since 1963, Stevens has been pronounced guilty of law violations 15 times by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), a record no American corporation can match. The company appealed every decision and lost 11, three times being denied review by the United States Supreme Court. No break The violations included a host of anti-union tactics including threatened plant closings, outright firing of union sympathizers, denying overtime to union supporters, and closing of a “break room” to prevent workers from “talking union.” Two company officials were convicted of wire-tapping a union officer’s motel room. In a resultant civil suit, Stevens settled out of court and paid $50,000 in damages. operations Stevens are concentrated in the South, and specifically in North and South Carolina, where 63 of its 85 plants are located. None of the company’s 44,000 workers are covered by a union contract, and wages average 31 percent lower than the national average for factory labor. The company has driven the Clothing and Textile Workers Union into mounting a national consumer boycott of Stevens products which range from panty hose to table linen. Amalgamated "After 37 years of loyal and faithful service, I have a plaque, $1,360 and brown lung.” Lack of a union contract leaves m 1 i workers. After 35 years, a retiree can look forward to a pension of about $20 a month. In contrast, the Chairman of the Board receives over $91,000 per year. To make matters many worse, workers become inflicted with “brown lung” disease, technically referred to as byssinosis. The respiratory ailment develops from breathing cotton dust, which is found in some Stevens plants at levels two to three times higher than maximum safety standards 1 oermit. The textile industry is one of the South’s largest employers, yet only 10 percent of its 700,000 workers are unionized. The lack of worker organization is fostered by state laws which prohibit the “closed shop,” and by the Southern culture which distrusts union men. Bankers, local officials and church groups in the numerous mill towns of the South openly discourage organization and support. The industry is a graveyard of earlier attempts to unionize. In the 1930’s and ’40’s the Congress of Industrial Organization (CIO) spent millions trying and failed. Observers see the major attraction of the so-called “Sun Belt” to be not the low utility rates or the low taxes, but the lack of any union strength. Industries are fleeing states like New York, where 38 per cent of the labor force is organized, and moving to states such as North Carolina, where Chambers of Commerce can “boast” of a 7 per cent figure. According to Business Week magazine, rarely do companies voluntarily extend recognition to a union, and they are not well they do. received when Companies moving south often seek the advice of labor relations dubbed consultants, “union-busters,” on how to keep unions out. J.P. Stevens has gone to greater employing a policy of “economic terrorism” to defeat union organized elections in 14 of their plants. Workers voted against unionization in 13 of the plants. Company officials point to these defeats as solid evidence that most of their workers do not want to be organized. “93 per cent of our people don’t want unions,” said lengths, Stevens James chairman rights.” The union maintained the elections were a farce because of the vicious anti-union tactics used by Stevens. The elections, they claimed, were conducted in a __ ■ Of JADE LOUNGE FOOD TAVERN Hong Kong Chicken with vegetable one said power’,” union negotiator. its track boycott of J.P. Here too, products. though, they have run into problems. Only 34 percent of Stevens’ products reach the public as finished goods, with the rest being sold in unfinished form to other industries. Also, Stevens products are marketed under 22 different labels, none of which nationwide Stevens carry the name J.P. Stevens. This makes identification of their brand names difficult. The company has tried to turn its employees against the boycott. The Chairman of the Board .. Through this recently wrote, nation-wide boycott they are ruthlessly and deliberately, without mercy trying to destroy your jobs and your livelihood.” “ . historically has “Stevens enjoyed excellent relations with its employees. It continues to place a high value on its human resources, and to be optimistic continuity the and about dependability of its labor supply. ”, So said the company in its annual" report of 1974. Based on Stevens’ record, optimism seems poorly founded. In the past ten years, the firm has been ordered to reinstate 287 workers who were illegally fired, and pay them $1.3 million in back pay.

Ordinarily, of course, a union would have struck long ago to resolve such an impasse. But a strike at one location of a giant company like Stevens would be pointless. The firm could easily shift operations DIRECTOR RESTAURANT — “J.P. Stevens is so out of touch with a humane, civilized approach to industrial relations, that it should shock even those least sensitive to honor, justice, and decent treatment." Tnis criticism, offered by former NLRB chairman Boyd Leedon, is supported by the company’s conduct during and after the one election the union did win at a Stevens plant. In Roanoke Rapids, North Carlina, the NLRB had to set down strict guidelines for the company to follow simply to insure a fair election. Workers voted for the union, 1685 to 1448, in 1974. In the three years since then, union and company officials have sat down an average of once a month to agree on a contract. The company, however, refuses to bargain in good faith, according to the NLRB. It refuses to deduct union dues from weekly pay and will not submit to arbitration of by an grievances unsettled third impartial party. These clauses are included in 95 percent of all union contracts in the United States. Instead, Stevens expects the union to somehow collect its dues from workers’ take-home pay, and offers the union the right to strike in the event of unsettled grievances, no matter how trivial. “As a practical matter,” said a union lawyer,” a union can’t be continually on strike. We can’t ask a plant full of workers to sacrifice their wages for weeks at a time because one of them had a disagreement with his supervisor.” D. Finley, “As far as I’m concerned, we’re going to protect their GRAND OPENING the GOOD union climate of fear. Such an atmosphere led the NLRB to term a fair election at plant Ga. Statesboro, “impossible.” The labor board, after a long struggle, ordered the company to accept the union as the legal bargaining agent. Rather than admit defeat, Stevens shut down the plant. ■ Bridge^J deadline is March 14th at 5 pm - NOTE: Tickets from Mar. 4th date are valid & will be honored — All seats Res Tickets available at UB, Norton Union, Buff.

Some can’t even be located when awards are finally made. Furthermore, Stevens can deduct the back pay amounts from their income taxes as a business expense,” and thus in effect lose nothing. Stevens’ lawlessness extends to other areas. The company has been found guilty of tax evasion, industrial piracy, price-fixing and wire-tapping. Yet, with annual sales of over $1.1 billion and healthy profits each year, the company can afford to annually pay its top executive $235,000. pay, —continued from page 5— . . . blacks. The company is now under investigation by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission for alleged violations of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Stevens has been warned repeatedly about safety hazards in its plants. In some factories, noise levels rqach 110 decibels, enough to cause permanent damage to workers’ hearing. Cotton dust levels are consistently above maxim urns. Despite all the investigations by various federal agencies, other arms of the government continue to deal with Stevens. Since 1968 the firm has been awarded $ 118.5 million in Defense Department contracts, including $ 16 million in 1975. “Some days I was so tired my heart would stop.

Wednesday, 9 March 1977 FACULTY Meet the new campus minister for United Ministry to Higher Education MASON JENNIFER & �The right to die Most states remain reluctant to ‘pull the plug’ by Daniel W. Lindley — Special to The Spectrum While medical advances make inroads against death curiously has become a more controversial and widely-discussed topic. Simultaneously, academics from myriad disciplines are groping to provide a groundwork for dealing with the area. The focal point of the controversy centers around a person’s right to die, as dramatized most publicly by the case of Karen Ann Quinlan in New Jersey. In September, 1975, Quinlan’s father, Joseph, asked doctors to remove his 21-year-old daughter, who had been in a coma for five months, from the respirator that was keeping her technically alive. Lengthy court battles ensued until £he New Jersey Supreme Court finally decreed March 31, 1976 that Quinlan could be taken off the respirator if her physicians and a panel of hospital personnel agreed that there was no reasonable possibility of recovery. Since the decision, Quinlan has undergone several recoveries and relapses, and remains comatose to date. Though the personal agonV for the Quinlans has not been relieved by the court decision, the case has renewed interest in the right of the comatose to “death with dignity.” A spokesman for the American Medical Association noted recently that doctors have been “unplugging” their patients for years, but that the recent (CPS) mortality, will 1 be the authentic me sickness does to the body when I’m wracked with pain, lying in my own feces and vomiting? The physician’s responsibility, he summarized, is to preserve the patient’s ‘.‘biological life,” which he added is a person’s true “autonomy.” Dr. Thomas Scheming, a professor at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, said that he thought it necessary to view the right to die from the standpoint of a “consumer” rather than a “physician.” Admitting that it is “not necessarily comforting to have the right to die,” Schelling said he felt that the economic and emotional expense incurred by a family in caring for a dying relative is worse than death itself, and that the drawn-out procedure in fact makes the dying member feel guilty about the cost of his care and the prolonged gloom which his inevitable death is creating. — < increase in malpractice suits has made legal protections a necessity. Dilemmas Dr. Eric Cassell, a clinical professor at the Cornell Medical Center in New York, observed at a February American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) symposium in Denver that although a legal morass can develop when a patient is allowed to expire, it can also be “battery to treat somebody who does not consent.” However, he said that few nurses or doctors will tell a patient “go ahead, die,” and added that patients refusing treatment can be ruled incompetent and taken into care against their will. Arguing that philosophers and lawyers who support an individual’s right to die “act like the body doesn’t exist,” he continued that “we have to take into account what outlines for procedures, and then decisions should-be left up to the discretion of physicians. Challenge Meanwhile, most states are reluctant to grapple with the problem of dying people’s rights, although a new law that went into effect January 1 in California gives citizens there the opportunity to make “living wills” that prohibit use of respirators, dialysis machines, and pther “unusual or artificial means” of sustaining their lives during terminal illnesses. However, the legislation specifically forbids “mercy killings” as well as “any affirmative action” to end a patient’s life. Despite Governor Hugh Carey’s requests for a legal definition of death, the New York Legislature refused to pass a bill that would have defined the phenomenon. And a committee of the Colorado House of Representatives Monstrous recently killed a bill similar to the “right-to-die” legislation in California. could claim “A murderer who had drugged his victim Still, professors like E.

He notes that most people in modern cultures desire a those who support euthanasia as an antidote to severely quick, unexpected death, but adds that such a demise may painful and critical diseases do not realize that “the be undesirable because it often leaves the (Jecedents’ affairs importance of life is not just related to pleasure.” unarranged.

Everyone who 1 has written about the presidency knows and notes how the office isolates the man. Nobody has struggled harder in modern times to break through the barrier than this president, and his success to date has been brilliant. Word from the country is that the public loves Carter’s blue-jean simplicity. A month after he took office his popularity is high. Somewhere or other, however, there is a line between informality and showmanship, and I think the call-in caper is perilously close to the line. Maybe I am wrong. Maybe we stand at the beginning of a new era where we can dial-a-president at will. But for the following reasons I think the first TRB . . — not brow-beaten we have an ideal negotiator. deferential but He is a — white-haired, strong-faced figure who slouched behind a table while senators asked questions from their horseshoe above. The place dazzled with lights and was jampacked. Yes, he said without apology, he had opposed various new families of nuclear weapons as they were proposed, urging in each case that the Russians be first asked if they would make concessions. That, he said mildly, 1 was how we got SALT agreements in 1972. The Soviets were then allowed more strategic offensive ballistic missile-launchers than the US; this offset by the US was technological lead which included multi-headed MIRVS. This is what successful negotiation means, he explained calmly. As Sen. Jackson tried to trip him up Warnke poured a glass of ice-water and did not raise his voice. Rarely do we see a witness with such aplomb. On the same day that Warnke appeared, Congress, in joint session, had its first look at Prime Minister Trudeau, who is threatened by the separationist drive of French-speaking Quebec. The Quebec premier Rene Levesque was down in New York last month trying to reassure US investors. bankers and Accompanied by about 80 Canadian reporters Trudeau came to Washington to make what, in effect, was a political reply. The essence of the traditional US relationship to Canada is to trade, trust and take for granted. For Canada it is an infuriating big-brother attitude. But that 3000-mile unfortified, border is one of the few really good things in a sorry world. Clad in gray business suit with a jaunty rosebud in his lapel, Trudeau in a quiet, modulated voice “with all the certainty I can command that Canada’s unity will not be fractured.” Maybe it’s unfair to the Quebecoises (Trudeau called them Quebeckers) but everybody here hopes he’s right. The friendly applause was not noisy but it went on and on and on. From Ralph Bakshi, master of animation, comes an epic fantasy in wondrous color. A vision of the world, 10 million years in the future, where Wizards rule the earth. And the powers of magic prevail over the forces of technology in the final battle for world supremacy. interesting experiment may be the last. . . .One of the greatest powers a president has is to command free broadcasting time. Granted that the Saturday call-in shows is for radio alone, the principle is the same. It is an attribute of the “imperial presidency.” To dilute this kind of a presidency he is using one of its prerequisites. Presidential cirtics. political rivals, have no such privilege. Save at elections (and not fully then) they can air their views only by buying radio-T V-newspaper space. Ironically, Mr. Carter complained of this phenomenon in the last election when Jerry Ford, merely because he was president,'got media time that candidate Carter couldnT command.

He has had appear a session with press association asking him representatives questions, and he has given a fireside chat. It is hard to pick up the paper without finding a Carter comment. A presidential call-in leads itself to ridicule. I suppose I am prejudiced but I think the formal White House press conference is the best means the American government has evolved for two-way contact between president and public; the press, respectful but probing; the nimble but President, newsworthy.

Here we have a professor who is very dedicated to teaching his students. I have had my share of teachers and I can say this with all honesty. Dr. Rosenblatt, by far, is the best professor I’ve come across. He explains things so well that unless you’re sleeping, you can’t help but understand. I can say that because I am a veteran and I have not had any Math since 1968 and find it difficult to grasp all that goes on in class. That is where Dr. Rosenblatt has been so helpful. His explanations of the principles in Statistics have made it possible for me to understand what is going on. Now to my utter dismay I find that he is on the chopping block because of his religious beliefs. 1 find this situation totally disgusting. Here we have a teacher who is genuinely interested in his students and isn’t afraid to spend extra time with them. Most of the teachers ,1 have known do what they have to do and no more. But because they don’t ask for a simple request so that they can observe their religion properly, they are allowed to continue d oing their mediocre work. But not Dr. Rosenblatt, he must be subjected tp nothing less than religious persectuion, the very thing he left his home to avoid. The man comes to this country because it offers him the freedom he so desperately needed. Then when he gets here he is subjected to the same thing, but only under a different name. This University is making a joke out of what this country is supposed to stand for. Freedom of Religion should mean exactly that FREEDOM. But to me it seems to mean freedom, as long as you don’t cause problems. A person living in this country is guaranteed freedom of Religion under the Constitution of the United States. In this Bi-Cenfennial era it is nice to know that all that our ancestors gave their lives for can so easily be cast aside. I’m sure that if these people were alive today they would be massing to demonstrate against the University and its administrators. But in this age we live in, unfortunately too many people have forgotten what our country means to other people in oppressed countries. They look to the U.S.A. as their last chance in life. Many have given their lives attempting to break these chains of - . ■n S.A. Senate TODAY Wed. March 9-3-5 pm Haas Lounge Meeting with Dr. Somit persecution. To the Editor: f- 1375 Millersport Hwy. Amherst When I see a person such as Dr. Rosenblatt, it makes me feel good. It’s a refreshing change from the hypocrisy one sees in today’s religion. But just because a person believes in his religion so deeply that he won’t do a thing that goes against his beliefs, he must walk a tight line, so that he can continue to function as a person, but still maintain his religious values. When I see a person being treated unfairly, no matter what the reason, I must speak out. Because of his devotion to his religion he has come under unusual pressure from the University. The rescheduling of classes on Friday doesn’t constitute an unforgivable offense. Especially when no student has been unduely affected. I would think that the University would be only to glad to help out Dr. Rosenblatt. It doesn’t seem like an unsurrmountable problem that intelligent people couldn’t solve. I must inject that firing a well qualified professor doesn’t seem to be an acceptable solution. I was once told that the most important part of any University are the STUDENTS!! And if the University would take the time to ask the students their opinions, I’m quite sure they would completely disagree with the University’s current stand. But then again, maybe the person that made the above statement, really did not mean it and said it only because it sounded good. Before I close this letter I would like to make one further point. Because of all this controversy I’m sure there will be ensuing court battles. Who is going to pay the court costsTThe Taxpayers of New York State, of course! That is another thing that seems to be unfair. Just because the University doesn’t go along with the religious beliefs of Dr. Rosenblatt. The taxpayers must pay for court battles that can only add to the heavy burden of taxes that we taxpayers must pay. I’m sure that if the public was informed of this farce that is going to take place, they would soon be down the throats of everyone concerned. I can see the headlines UB-CANS PROFESSOR BECAUSE OF RELIGIOUS BELIEFS- I wouldn’t consider that favorable publicity. Before any decision is made on what action should be taken against Dr. Rosenblatt, 1 think it advisable to consider the student reaction. There is a growing wave of students that think Dr. Rosenblatt is being grossly mistreated. It has been a long time since the students have had anything to band together about. Could this be it?I can’t think of a better cause. Please excuse me for my long-windedness, but I have strong convictions about such matters. When I see something like this I feel 1 must speak out. After all I think I have the right to free speech and to express my views openly. If I’m not mistaken I’m guaranteed those rights the same way Dr. Rosenblatt’s religious rights and freedoms are guaranteed. Once again, please forgive me for the language and context of this letter, but such PERSECUTION MUST STOP' Page ten . The Spectrum .

And 1 don’t think we had there twenty percent, and that’s a highly directed institution, in a time when people were very, very, highly professionally oriented. So nowadays, 1 bet if you did a survey it would shock you. It seems to me that if that’s the case, terview Jonathan Reichert speaks on ‘State of the University’ the note: Jonathan Editor’s eichert is presently Chairman of e Faculty Senate, and a 'ofessor of'Physics. He first came > this University in 1971, and has nee been a center of numerous mtroversies. He was head of the acuity Senate committee that roduced the "Reichert rospectus” on the Colleges, ’hich set the stage for many of ie Colleges’ controversies in the ast two years. Managing Editor Laura Bartlett onducted !eichert this last interview week, ought to recognize how they ought to respond. with And the graduate school, I’d covering say, is highly dependent upon the departments. I think we have a opics from grading policies to the \mherst Campus amf budget cuts, Reichert’s xcerpts from omments will also appear in the Juffalonian. Why do students today go to ■allege, and why do they come to his University in particular? A: Veil, to begin with I really think that’s a terrible question, Laura, jecause I’m not a student, so I really can’t answer that. You ): could probably answer that better than I could. Why do they come here? Well, we get about half our students from the local area; I would guess, I mean I think we have a pretty decent University here. It’s cheap; 1 suppose it’s convenient. I don4 really know. I don’t know why you’d ask a faculty member why students come here. Q: Well, / guess I figured you see and come in contact with so many students I mean, I know why I came here, hut A: Students don’t,really tell you that. They complain about what they do or don’t get, but rarely does a student tell you why he or she came to the University. I also don’t have as much contact as you might think. Although I teach Physics, 1 teach a large section. I may have 180 students, but I don’t remember a student ever itelling me why they came here. [Occasionally, a student you know very well, maybe one that worked in my lab or something. Students usually don’t let that out. So I really haven’t got much notion, it would be just a guess. Q: Do you feel students are more concerned with the career preparation their education will provide them than in the past? A: 1 can respond to Hat. Yes, I think students are The most concerned. ore amatic evidence of that comes i the poor souls who teach students, pre-dental e-med udents. I say that because I ink you ought to get battle pay ir teaching those students. It n’t that you should take a anket swipe at such students, ut really out of a class of 250 udents you’re going to have bout 40 or 50 of them who are ;ally difficult to deal with. My ollegues tell me these stories, bout people who are so uptight bout grades, they will hound ou. I wouldn’t be surprised to ear even of physical assaults on acuity; it wouldn’t surprise me at 11. Those people are really iptight about grades. But I enerally see a large percentage of he population who really want to ;et an education. I think students ire much more concerned, you ee all kinds of evidence of that all icross the nation. That’s a louble-edged sword from the way look at it. On the other hand, t’s nice to have students in your classes who want to learn. On the other hand, that is sometimes faculty that and deal with it, namely, we shouldn’t accept students’ words. We should remind time of that fact, and say, look, your object is to get an education; you may think you want to do that, and maybe you will, we don’t want to stop you, but we want to let you know that it’s unlikely that is what you will end up doing with your life. So, you ought to be prepared, with that in mind. And, 1 think that’s how we ought to respond, and we ought to make the students understand that’s - - translated to wanting to get a grade rather than wanting to learn, and viewing the University as a way of passage to a diploma, with a certain set of numbers after your name called your cum, or your grade point average. And that I find very difficult to deal with. It leads to more cheating, plagiarism of all sorts, and I see evidence of that. A year and a half ago when I was teaching a large dass; (Physics) 107, for the first time in my fifteen years of teaching, I had cheating to deal with. And I had a lot of it. Everything from calculators being stolen, to a student taking the exam who was not a member of the class, to some very bad cheating, which happened to have been admitted by the student. And this I find a great shame. I’m also afraid students are less willing to dabble outside their narrow interests as much, unless it’s to get a course, rather than to really learn something. So on the other hand, it’s encouraging that students have a positive attitude toward their education, which is largly paid for by the taxpayer, but on. the other hand this seriousness can sometimes lead the student to lend himself to some very unfortunate kinds of attitudes. It’s a mixed blessing. Q: How would you assess the quality of education students receive at this University? A: Well, I would certainly divide that between graduate and undergraduate. I would say that for undergraduate if education at this University you’re interested in an integrated program that does pot have a “disciplinary” professional, outlook, this school does a terrible job. If you come to this University as a bright-eyed bushy tailed kid who wants to learn, but is unsure of what he or she wants to learn, and has broad interests, - and would like to get a general education, I think you’ve come to the wrong University. 1 hate to say that, but except for a little Vico College attempt, we have really no good general program set It becomes a up for them. smorgasboard of taking courses that are totally unrelated to each other, and 1 think we’ve done a very poor job. If you come to this University to be a certain type of thing; to be a historian or a writer or a physicist or a chemist or an artist, and you’re pretty sure of that, and that’s what you go into, I think you will find after the first couple of years, depending on you’ll find your department that you have a close contact with faculty, you will get a good education in that area, you will get to know people, your classes will be quite reasonable in size, in fact, quite manageable, 1 think we have at that level a kind of professionalism and I mean that word in the broadest context. 1 . . . think there are some weak spots and some very great strengths, but 1 think that we’re generally alright. Where I think we fail miserably is with the student who is not sure. And 1 would guess that only a tiny fraction of the student body actually end up doing in their life what they say they want to do when they come to the University. I bet it’s less than ten percent, who actually do what they say they want to do. “I want to be a physician,” and they actually become a physician. That’s a very tiny fraction of people. At an Engineering school where everybody was either an engineer or a mathematician or a physicist, it’s incredible how few of those actually ended up doing the specialty they picked, or even ended up doing engineering or physics. Many of them went into graduate of variety wide education. In some departments we hav6 very find students and a very fine program, in other departments we have reasonably good faculty and rather poor students, and it’s a very mixed bag. There I think, you would have to pick the departments and so forth. I think, generally, this institution has jiot been able to attract the quality of graduate students we would like, and that’s probably because there are more graduate schools in the country than the country really needs. The competition becomes fierce to get the highest students. But I think in some parts of the University we attract very good students to our graduate program, in other departments 1 think the program is better than the students. So 1 think the graduate program is probably not like most of us would like to see it, and I’m not sure how to get it there. Q: How valuable are such innovative programs as the Colleges to the University? In these times of budgetary austerity, will they be able to survive? A: Well, the second part of the question is easier to answer than the first. There’s no question the Colleges can survive if the administration wishes them to survive, and if they are given the resources to survive. Of course, in order for them to survive they have to be productive. You know, you’re asking a loaded question to me because, after all, I’m very prejudiced in this matter, since 1 was Chairman of the Faculty Senate committee that rewrote the College Prospectus. I’d have to honestly say that I think the Senate’s work on the Colleges was one of the more remarkable things I’ve ever been involved in, because, to a large extent, what we thought would work, worked. And that’s an unusual thing, when institution as a student, I would probably associate myself with one of these Colleges. They are the basis of both social life and academic life. The idea that you have a manageable unit in this ' enormous, vast place, seems to me 1 think that very attractive. they’ve done a remarkable job. I think that we’re very fortunate to have Irv Spitzberg, who took unbelievable abuse when he first came into that office. Everything from a threat on his life, to all kinds of personal abuses from somy of the more despicable student body we’ve had around here, and other people. And he prevailed. He just didn’t let it get him. And he’s worked diligently to build a collegiate system that is strong and coherant and doing and interesting things academically viable in 99 percent of what it does, I think, and has tried and succeeded in getting and regular faculty involved, gotten rid of a lot of the stigma attached to the Colleges, got some interesting innovations going on. I think we’re very very fortunate, I think there are very few people who would have put up with the shit tjjat he did and made it succeed. I certainly hope they continue and grow. They’ve never been really really supported by the University administration, but on the other hand, they haven’t been as badly attacked as people would imagine. They’ve had some support, and I look forward to them growing, as one of the last vestiges of the sixties, early 70’s, which are disappearing. People are forgetting about those things and the positive things that go on in those Colleges. I’m very pleased, I hope they sustain and grow, and 1 suspect they will. Q: Recent years have seen efforts to “tighten” academic standards at this University and throughout Are these favorable SUNY. changes, in your opinion? Have things been tod easy for students in the past? A: Yes, they’re not strong enough for my liking. See, I have the following attitude, and it is one that is not conscious, but I sort of recognize it in myself consciously. This University gets the cream of the crop of the state; of the public sector, we get the No public best students. institution in this state gets better or brighter kids than we do. I don’t think this faculty realizes it. When I walk into that class and I see, say 200 students in an introductory physics course, 1 that these kids had to graduate high school with a lot higher average than I had. They’re bright kids, they want to learn something. They’re capable of realize learning something. They want to be scientists of some sort or other. Fine, I’m all for it. And 1 happen to be very proud, One thing about my faculty, that is the Natural Sciences and Mathematics faculty, is a faculty that takes academic standards as seriously as any faculty in this University. If you you plan something, you write look at the grading patterns, for and it actually this faculty, you’ll see that we’re documents, happens. practically the only one that uses I think the Colleges are a very F. People do fail, in the Natural valuable part of the University. 1 Sciences, and they get D’s, they don’t agree with everything that get F’s. I’ve taught courses where goes on in the Colleges, I’ve still 30 percent of the class failed or had some battles, albeit that 1 withdrew, maybe more. We do keep them pretty much between have standards, and we should myself and certain few people, have standards. We have bright and don’t make them public. But kids. That’s not to say the 20 I feel the Colleges are a very percent of the class may not get important part of the University. an A, but that these standards are This is such a vast institution. something that 1 think this There are so few places where you University has neglected. And I can get into a situation that’s blame the faculty, 1 blame my manageable, at the early stages, colleagues, for pussyfooting. 1 the freshman-sophmore years, recognize that we’re dealing with where you can know people, work very intelligent students, who, with people, who can help you given the challenge, 99 percent of understand the University. The them will respond and do high Colleges offer an opportunity that quality work. We’ve lived through just doesn’t exist other places, and a time when a professor would —continued on page 12— I think if I were coming to this Wednesday, 9 March 1977 . The Spectrum . Page eleven �Reichert interview. if a student wrote ah essay, well, how do you know if they deserve an A or an F? I mean, it’s their own creative instincts. I say bullshit! Most of their life will not be spent in this institution If we feel their creative instincts should be expressed in the following ways, we ought to let the students know that a the beginning of the course. If they can’t do it, quit, take it from somebody else, but we ought to demand certain qualities of the English language, of neatness, of promptness, of using data that is available. 1 don’t believe that even in those creative arts you can’t set standards up. Jackson Powell could paint classical painting magnificantly, before he ever went into this wild abstraction. He learned the discipline of classical art before he ever went into modernistic expression. I don’t think that’s an say, unreasonable thing to expect. Although, I’m not in that area. My own area is easier to set standards, and my standards are high. And my class knows it. But when they’re all done, they’ve learned some physics. I take great pride; this kid knows physics. And there’s no reason why they shouldn’t. And so I believe we’re far too lax at this University, we haven’t even begun to tough the surface of academic standards, I believe we ought to accept you students for what you are, bright. You’re the cream of the crop. This is not a remedial institution. If it was, it’s a different problem, you have to deal with it differently. You have to take people quietly, cautiously, in a nonthreatening way, build them up, give them some confidence, develop. That’s a whole different kind of education. I’m not knocking that kind of education, but there are institutions in the SUNY system that must deal with that. That is not our job. We don’t have that kind of student. Maybe a handful of the special programs, a small they’re really but minority. We get the cream of the crop, and we ought to teach you like you’re the cream of the crop. You ought to come out of here with one hell of an education. You ought to be challenged, made to deliver, made to produce, and graded accordingly, I believe if we set those standards the students will come right up to them. There’s no doubt in my mind that my assessment of the student body is accurate. They are bright, they are capable, they can work and they can perform, and 1 think ultimately the students will appreciate it, ultimately, when all is said and done. So I don’t think we’ve been nearly tightening our belts enough. That’t my opinion. I’m glad to see the trend increasing, but it’s not fast enough for me. Q: The budgetary austerity of recent years has been severely felt by SUNY. Have cutbacks significantly hurt the this quality academic of University? A: Yes, they have, but in a strange way. They’ve hurt, not so much because of the actual money, but by two things, it seems to me. They’ve hurt because we’ve been endlessly preoccupied with them. Our administration spends all of its time, or a large fraction of its time, dealing with the problem. That’s what they do. They no sooner get one budget sealed than they’re worried about the next one. There is very little creative in this thought going .on University, by anyone. People are protecting their asses, that’s what they’re doing. Protect your ass, that modus operandium of this University. Protect your ass, don’t Page twelve . get cut off, because that’s what’s happening. What we don’t have at this University is people thinking about how they’re going to plan programs and' utilize resources. to They’re trying protect themselves, they’re trying to guard , against this cutback or trying to prevent somebody from taking this technician away or this secretary or that facility or that xerox machine. Everybody is trying to do that. People are also fudging data Everybody, crazy. like everybody’s putting a little bit of fudge here, a little bit of fudge there, how do we inflate this, how do we inflate that. I wouldn’t say there’s outright lying going on, although there probably is a little of that, but mostly you find people just nudging a bit. How do you get a kid in here, how can we get a few more FTE’s in there. This is not creative kinds of activities for a university. People aren’t sitting around thinking about ways to educate people, they’re thinking about how they can save themselves. When you have this kind of thing going on, it just destroys the heart of an academic institution. So we have, it seems to me, Jhe budgetary cuts, which have hurt us in strange ways. Not the ways mos people would guess. Not because of fired, faculty members being particularly, and therefore we don’t have enough people to teach or something like that. That’s not, I don’t think, the most significant. That happens occasionally. There are some problems, but I think it’s the perception of the cuts, and to deal with them trying endlessly. 1 think personally the union is a part of this problem. We have a union here which is mandating all kinds of other ways to protect your ass. I don’t want the University to necessarily be always thinking about this. I want see the University seek to want to see I excellence. excellence promoted. I want to new programs, I want to see new ways of educating, I want to see innovation. .1 want to see people involved in what the University is all about, not see protective systems. Now when you have to do firing at the University, retrenchment, and tenure being threatened, yoU are certainly, and then the development of a union, endlessly building which is another protect-your-ass kind of institution, that’s all everybody’s thinking about. Nobody’s thinking about the quality of education and the research going on. Everybody’s trying to protect themselves. And this is the most serious problem. How do you deal with it? 1 don’t know in a realistic sense, but I could say this to the state legislature; give us a four year budget or a three year budget. If we had had to made these cuts, and known that over the next two years, we had to live with it. Okay, we have to deal with this. If we knew we had to make cuts over the next three years, we could make them and get out of that trauma, and then begin to be a creative kind of institution within limits. It reminds me of this Physics building. I’ve been involved in developing its programs and the money which the state gave us for capital construction. I couldn’t begin; there isn’t enough tape in the world to tell the story, it’s so God damned long painful. But just to give you an idea, everytime we turn around in this department, there’s another cut going on. Four we planned years ago, a department and new laboratories The Spectrum . Wednesday, 9 March 1977 —continued from page 11— \ • • and teaching new courses and research, and those things have changed eight, ten, twenty times, depending on how many times you want to talk about the cuts and all that. The upshot is that the state’s money is being very poorly spent. If they had made the cuts four years ago and said, okay Physics, you have this money. It’s yours, you spend it as wisely as you can and justify it. Even if the cuts had been more severe that they ultimately have come out to be, we could have dealt with that problem. We can’t deal with this ever shifting bracket. How can our faculty and administration deal with the fact that Bob Ketter’s got to go to Albany every year for another crisis? The governor’s and then executive budget, another budget, and then the budget, and supplemental everything else. It’s crazy, and it’s incredibly consuming. And if our doesn’t do administration everything possible to fight for every penny, then they look like they’ve done a terrible job, right? Look at the Graduate Student screaming Association, bloody murder about stipends. They’re right, it’s terrible. But they’re wrong in believing that this institution hasn’t recognized that and done everything it can to fight for them. Now maybe that’s a political move that would help, I don’t know. But I can tell you that there isn’t a faculty member of this or a ■ member administration that doesn’t want to increase that salary. We’re not getting the graduate students we want. It’s in our own interest, we know that. We’re losing good students. We’re not fighting these guys, we agree with them. So endlessly our administration is in this position of fighting for us. What we’ve got to change if we’re going to have quality education for budgetary prices is that the state’s going to have to get itself into the financial situation where it can give the now I imagine state institutions this is true of any institution, it’s the educational only not institutions some long range monetary committments. So that the administrations of these institutions can stop every year dealing with budgetary matters. And I can tell you Hayes Hall is consumed by that, and it’s exhausting. And that’s where it hurts us, that’s the most serious thing. I don’t think its the actual monetary reductions. There are some. We have cut support in this services so tightly everything’s institution that marginal. Nothing is easy to get, nothing. There isn’t a single thing we can do that is easy, that requires some support services. A purchase, or a janitorial service or a secretary, nothing is easy. And that wears on people. It really does, it slows everybody down, and pretty soon it becomes pretty discouraging. So 1 think if we had made decisions to not do certain things, make priorities, maybe cut our whole programs, over a period of time, and then staff in other areas sufficient, so that things would become easier, 1 think that’s hurt us. Especially in research where we have become really discouraged. And I’ll tell you, the most productive scholars and research scientist, and people in the humanities, will find other institutions that haven’t been so badly cut, and they will leave, and they are leaving and they have left. So that’s what 1 think has hurt us, but I don’t think the actual — — higher education much more much, that are efficient. And there are states that do it. I’m not talking about Jonathan Reichert’s Utopia, I’m talking about other states that really do it. And the simplest reason, I’d say is this. If you re building a road, I suppose if you’re the state legislature you’ve got a right to say, I’d better have a don’t see there’s a real academic contract written because the guy difference. I think the differences who’s going to be building that with students today are in terms road is very likely to add more of attitudes, life styles, and other sand to the concrete to save a few things. I’m certainly convinced bucks so he can put money Into this institution has very bright his pocket.. You’re dealing with students, very capable students. people whose primary object in I’m pleased to be at an institution life is to make profits, right? 1 students, that has such bright you contract higher When enjoy them. They may find it a that’s not what you’re education as a to me have little shocking Universities are not dealing with. teacher, because I expect them to and administrators faculty of full But I perform as they are capable. trying to make profits.

But pleased with the students today, I to don’t seem Legislature the What love them, they’re great. Q: recongize this. do you see in the future for SUNY, and this University in Now I understand that legally particular? A: Oh God, I don’t it requires a change in the really know what I see in the constitution. But maybe that’s future for SUNY. I’m not enough what it takes. They must in the swing of politics, I’ll have understand that this is a different to deal with educated guesses. kind of institution with different We’ve got this CUNY problem kinds of problems, different kinds now, bringing CUNY in. I am of greed. You don’t need the same deeply concerned for higher kinds of purchasing procedures public education. I came from with a state institution as you do private institutions this is my when building a you’re second faculty job, and it’s the superhighway. And that’s never first time I’ve been to a public been recognized by the state institution. I have great sympathy We have wastes that probably for private institutions. I find amount to 30 percent of our them in many ways a much more budget, I’m not exaggerating comfortable place to be, there are when 1 say that. We’ve got a a lot of advantages to them. I whole Albany bureaucracy that’t think that this state has not useless. I’ve been told that certain learned how to deal with public presidents have offered to give the institutions. That is to say, when state back, in cold hard cash, ten this system was set up, from what percent of their budget to the 1 can gather, the way it spends state treasury, ten percent, if money is the same way the state they’d just let that institution get builds a road, or constructs a that amount, minus ten percent, hospital, or builds a state park, and spend it as they see fit. Now and that’s not the way to deal that’s a hell of a lot of money. If with higher education. And what that was our institution that’s it has done is set up a bureaucratic eight million bucks. system that is so incredibly So I’m concerned about wasteful of taxpayers’ money. because I’m SUNY. concerned damaging And to the so institution, I am afraid we are we’re trapped in this bureaucratic maze and can do very very little bound to mediocrity. to get out of it. Meanwhile we’re When this state institution was being cut back, meanwhile the first formed there was a lot of faculty is protecting its ass, the rtioney put into it. You had administration is protecting its people like Martin Meyerson ass, and where is the pressure and trying to build the Berkley of the development of education East and ail that sort of stuff. A programs, where are we dealing lot of hopes, a lot of dreams, a lot with general education, where is of people, bright people, came, the academic leadership coming faculty came to this institution. It from? I’m not optimistic until I just mushroomed into a fantastic see some of these logjams broken, school very quickly. And there and I don’t see them coming yet, I was a lot of optisism in the sixties, really don’t. I see a union that has an awful lot. People came to negotiated merit money almost to build.

The Potsdam team had won nine straight and the Bulls were 6-8 on the season, and yet it was the latter team that emerged as the victor, 60-53. , “I’m very satisfied,” said Buffalo coach Liz Cousins. “This is an upset as far as I’m concerned.” Cousins had a lot to be pleased about, especially in the first half, when the Bulls passed, shot and rebounded with textbook accuracy. Potsdam led only once during the game, 2-0. After that, Buffalo’s precision offense took over, and ran away with the game. Senior Marilyn Dellwardt started the scoring for Buffalo with a short jumpshot. Teammate Gabi Gray followed with a lay-up on a pass from Dellwardt. Gray got an assist of her own on Buffalo’s next offensive play when she passed to Regina Frazier who scored on a jump shot. Chadwick scores thirty The Bulls defensive strategy was also working almost perfectly. “We wanted to let them take outside shots, but keep our defense tight, while maintaining our boxing out position, explained Cousins. Potsdam was forced to take outside shots which they consistantly missed, scoring only five points in the first ten minutes of the game. Meanwhile, Buffalo continued its offensive onslaught. Freshman Paula Hills grabbed a rebound, and quickly made a basket to give the Bulls a five point lead. Then freshman Marilyn Brown made a jump shot to increase the lead to seven. The Bulls had an extremely balanced offense at this time, with five different players scoring the first I.R.C.- five baskets. They also took turns with assists and rebounds. The Wrestling Bulls ended their season at the Eastern. Wrestling League Championships at Lock Haven State College in Pennsylvania this past weekend. “As a group, our boys did not wrestle poorly, but as individuals some did well,” stated Buffalo cottch Ed Michael. As indidivuals, five Buffalo grapplers did wrestle well, but the team’s final standing speaks for itself. The Bulls placed sixth out of the field of six teams. Penn State captured the League Championship for the second straight year, followed by Bloomsburg State, Clarion State, Lock Haven, Pittsburg and the last place Bulls. The Championship also was a qualifying tournament for the NCAA Championships in Oklahoma. The only Bull to qualify was co-captain Kirk Anderson, who wrestled at 158 punds. Both Michael and his assistant Scott Stever agreed that there was a certain amount of bias in the selection of only one Buffalo wrestler. Buffalo tires The Bulls kept increasing their lead until at one point, they held an 18-3 edge on Potsdam. Then, Potsdam forward Jeane Pomerville got hot and made four baskets, mostly on baseline drives, to get Potsdam back in the game. Potsdam’s defense tightened up, and limited Buffalo to three points in five minutes. “The kids got tired,” said Cousins, “and started getting into foul trouble.” The Bulls regained their momentum a little towards the end of the half with the score 27-19. Frazier, Hills and Barb Fislar each made a basket, and then co-captain Nan Harvey made two long ‘Hurt by sectionalism’ jump shots in the last minute. The half ended with “We were hurt by sectionalism,” commented Michael. “The other the Bulls leading, 35-23. coaches voted as a block,” he added. Michael is refering to the fact that Buffalo looked more sloppy, in the second had the Bulls are the only non-Pennsylvania school in the league. half. They weren’t getting good shots that they the and Potsdam their Michael’s gripe centers around the Bulls’ Bob Marineck and Dave first, succeeded against in defense by driving instead of taking outside shots.

But a short time later, the selection For most of the half, the two teams traded committee reversed its decision and dropped Martineck in favor of baskets. First, Hills scored on a jumpshot, and then another Pennsylvania athlete. Likewise, Mitchell, who captured third Potsdam’s Joanne Venezia came back with a similar place, was totally bypassed by the reviewing coaches. “They didn’t shot. Next, Frazier scored for Buffalo, and him,” said Michael solemnly. Pomerville answered with another of her drives. even consider “1 feel that a terrible injustice was done against Bob [Martineck],” Then, it was Frazier again with a jumpshot followed “When [Lock Haven by Venezia’s lay-up.

Buffalo has a chance to end the season with a During that stretch, the Bulls also captured the New York State .500 record when they play Canisius tonight at 7 Championship Title. p.m. at Clark Hall. What caused that sudden change in the Bulls performance two months ago? Stever believes that, "as a team, the guys matured. They overcame adverse conditions and rose to the occasion.” He added, “This young team was not exposed to big-time wrestling initially, and once they were exposed to it and began to win against scholarship wrestlers, they no longer read press clippings about those wrestlers. They read about themselves.” The outlook for next season is quite promising. With eight returning grapplers from this year’s squad, the nucleus for a competitive Buffalo squad is set.-Stever added, “Now that they are seasoned, they should wrestle with greater intensity next year.” But the end of the season also marks the end of the careers of two Buffalo matmen, Martineck and Rich Bopp. Characterized as an unselfish person, Bopp filled the Bulls heavyweight shoes under adverse One of circumstances. Co-captain Martineck was a “coach’s the more dedicated Buffalo stars, Martineck worked very hard to improve himself throughout his career.

INTRAMURALS by Don Weiss Spectrum Staff Writer Intramural basketball playoffs begin this week with a single elimination tournament for the “A” and “B” leagues. First and second round games will be played all this week with final round games next week. In the “A” league, the leading contenders for the title are Lippes Loop (7-2) and the BSU Panthers (5-4). Tonight, in first round action, the Loop faces The Omen (5-4), The Loop are going into this game with an impressive fiye-game winning streak, playing in the tough Wednesday night division. They are led by the front line of Phil Rosenberg, Jim Randall, and Jim Slayton. BSU faces Murray, winners of the first semester of the Monday night division. Murray’s chances of upsetting BSU depend on their ability to contain Otis Horne and Gene Henderson of the Panthers. The winner of this game will play the winner of the ’game between the'Boss Players and the Med School. The Boss Players are led by Olin Mack and Oscar James. Flash vs. Blue In another first round game tonight, Flashbuck (5-4) opposes Blue (3-1) in what should be the closest of the night’s games. Flash is coming off a depressing loss to Lippes Loop last week, and if they are to bounce back, they must get consistent play from their front line of Steve Weiner and Donald Weiss. Guard Paul Yu, playing in his fifth consecutive tournament, must give Flash experience Hear 0 Israel For gems from the JEWISH BIBLE Phone 875-4265 and leadership. Blue is led by Danny Zahn in the backcourt, and Dunbar Smith up front. The winner of this game will face the Heads, led by Ron Dahms, Jim Corigliano, and Joe Goobers. On Tuesday night the Converse All-Stars (5,-4) play Chauncey Street (5-4). The All-Stars, led by guard Mark Golubow, twice beat the BSU Panthers this year. Chauncey Street is coming off a triple overtime loss to Captain Noodle two weeks ago, and the layoff might have an effect on them. Captain A1 “Debits” Alperin is trying to regroup his players for the game. The winner of this game will play Slombas (7-2) Friday night at Sweet Home in a quarterfinal matchup. B league games In “B” league playoff action Sunday, the Dynasty eliminated the Bugouts 41-28, behind the scoring of Frank Boggan. The Dynasty must now face Dog Puke, who is undefeated all year, but weakened by the loss of injured guard Mike Betz. In other games, The Breeze beat the Trogans 49-31, to move into the second round against the highly rated College H; and Shooting Semen beat the Blue Dogs 49-40 to advance to the second round against Who’s Next. In the final game Sunday, Power Memorial, led by Billy London, beat Sunset Chateau 47-43 in overtime. Power Memorial must now face undefeated Trigger Happy, letj- by Barry Cohen. In other basketball action, the University of Buffalo Veterans Club lost to the Niagara Community College Veterans Club. Poor conditioning was a problem for the losers, who also suffered from a stagnant offense. Their defense was tenacious at times.

Several odd occurances at the rally were noted by The Spectrum reporters present.

He allegedly inquired as to “the intent of the meeting, and the content of one woman’s satchel. In another case, a photographer refused to identify himself, and said when questioned, “I’m not taking pictures for anybody.” The rally closed when the negotiating team emerged from Hayes Hall with thumbs down after only 30 minutes of the planned hour-long meeting. “Ketter has not changed his position,” declared Union representative Stratton Rawson,’“We will do what we must.” Statistics box Women’s Basketball vs. Potsdam, March 4, Clark Hall.

The petition’s author, Michael Stephen Levinson, charged that Student Association (SA) officials had violated the rules for referenda by distributing leaflets arguing against approving the referendum and by urging students to vote no at SA sponsored events. SA officials replied that the leaflets were paid for out of their own pockets, and were therefore legal. “ 1 margin Irregularities in the balloting were reported by students.

Kunz announced significant changes in the present system of pass/fail (S/U) grading effective September 1977. Students will no longer be allowed to elect S/U grading for courses that are prerequisites to or requirements for their major. S/U options must be elected by the end of the “drop and add” registration period, which will be September 23 for next fall. A petitioning process to recover a letter grade will be instituted for students who elect the S/U option and subsequently change majors. These policies and procedures were enacted through the unanimous passage of a Faculty Senate resolution. Standard request forms for S/U grading will be available in the Office of Admissions and Records and Undergraduate Education Advisement Office. the Division of by Gabriele Pohlenz Spectrum Staff Writer The Third World Newsletter, published by the Third World Student Association (TWSA) at this University, is making an effort to inform the Buffalo community about' the struggles socio-economic occurring in the countries of the Third World. The TWSA began in November, 1976 as a result of the successful “Third World Week” program which was held from Nov. 17—Nov. 20. This event was organized by the Third World and American students who were to promote a better awareness of movements in the Third World, the factors that influence these movements and the resultant impacts. The events of that week formed the basis for the TWSA, which was formerly a part of the Graduate Student Association. At present, the organization includes 20 active members. They come from India, Pakistan, Palestine, Egypt, Malaysia, Puerto Rico, Yemen, Viet-Nam, Hong Kong, Iran, Jamaica, Zaire, Spain and the United' States. Through the newsletter and various events, they express their solidarity with the countries of the Third World, which extends over the continents of Asia, Africa and Latin America, and support their struggles for political independence and against Until now, two editions of the Third World Newsletter have organized by the appeared, publication committee of the TWSA. Articles are submitted by different groups, and not by individuals, so as to get a wider range of people involved. The April edition was accompanied by a special pamphlet on the “Food Day.” What appears in the newsletter deals with ongoing events in countries that do not appear on most front of page the newspapers. Its publishers pick editorial, followed by three or four articles that investigate movements in detail. A news series presents a summary of events in different countries, followed by a poetry section poems printed from Third World authors as well as unknown American authors. Finally, future activities are announced. — Will teach others The May edition will have an additional section where readers can express their opinions and where reviews of films and books odt movements of tremendous impact in specific countries which will be printed. TWSA members will probably not be picked up by the mass media. The articles are based on information gathered students’ native from the newspapers as well as from other Third World groups and their printing, layout, and distribution of the newsletter, which keeps costs to a minimum, necessary because the TWSA does not do the trying imperialism. Supporters of the arrested protesters at Seabrook, New Hampshire, staged a small play in the Fillmore Room last week to rally support for those still imprisoned. Members of the University community who participated in the protest began returning this week. Others from the Buffalo area, estimated at around 15, were released Friday, after agreeing to allow lower courts in New Hampshire to direct guilty verdicts in each case. Prosecutors allowed all protestors who wished to plead innocent automatic appeals to higher courts Protesters from Buffalo were petitioning to have their cases tried as a group, rather than individually. Recent activities Several public activities were hald in the past which provided the public with information of concerning the problems countries. The underdeveloped first was the “Third World Week” held last November, followed in by this year of March “International Women’s Day,” which focused on women in the Third World. During the same “Weekend in the month, Solidarity with Puerto Rico” dealt with Puerto Rico’s struggle for and independence self-determination. The two outstanding activities in April were the “Conference on Imperialism” and “Food Day” which focused on subjects such as and hunger, food aid and overpopulation and development. publications. Favorable response The first edition, which was published in March of this year, had a favorable response. About editions were 500 600 distributed on campus, and others off campus. The newsletter is Buffalo available three in bookstores: Emma, on Fillmore Bookstore; and Unity Ave.; Everyone’s Bookstore, on Main Street. The newsletter, by providing information and analysis, tries to reach an audience that has not yet formed an opinion about the Third World’s socio-economic struggle, \and tries to fill La the the mass media. blanks Each newsletter opens with an — receive formal support. As a new activity is planned and organiz-J, the group goes to the appropriate organizations and asks them for financial help. Members welcome any support and hope students and. faculties will provide them with financial aid in the future as well as a space from which to operate. One attempt to support the TWSA is being made by the members themselves. Next fall three of them will teach courses in Recently, Women’s Studies. through the intermediary Buffalo Council on World Affairs, the association was given the chance to speak before classes in city schools about the Third World. A organized more program, provide could however, presentations regularly, and not on a scattered individual basis. �Reconversion of war funds voted by UUP GSA fee retained Graduate students at this University have voted by a 686 to 233 margin, with nine abstentions, to retain the Graduate Student Association (GSA) mandatory activity fee, currently set at $9.50 per semester.

We meet them as they meet one another and we meet their dreams (or absence of dreams). We meet them on the street; we meet tham on a seat in front of the television. They ache and they act out and mingle with their thoughts and reach into one another through the various musics, poems, dances, enigmatic loops, home movies, walkabouts, self-doubts, harrangues, and nervous bliss of two people — getting-to-know-one-another; to that become “wind fluent” is everywhere-all-the-time, which — knowable only by what it moves.

The heart of Jewish law the Torah holiday of Shavous, which began Sunday night and continues until tomorrow, is also special because it recaptures the time when God first designated the Jews as “chosen” and handed down the law to all not just a select few of the Jewish people. “The Jewish religion is the only religion in which God reveals himself to all the pc-iple at the same time,” without requiring an intermediary, according to Rabbi Noson Gurari. This embodies the concept of every Jew having a personal experience with God, Gurari said, and that they themselves were the prophets. Shavous is being celebrated at both the old Chabad House, located on Main Street directly across from the campus, and at the sparkling new Amherst Campus Chabad House, at 2501 North Forest Rd., just behind the Ellicott Complex.

In three of our columns, Today, Print-Talk, and Out Smarting the Jones the choice of books runs the complete gamut of the different kinds of philosophical approaches applicable to writing. Today offers the most serious list of writing. The Eastern European series is the most profound writing in the Insert. Alan Watts’ book reflects our first attempt to delve into the philosophical. As Watts has been the man most responsible for introducing Eastern thought to the West we felt it was important to mention this work.

Laughable Loves Milan Kundera Introduction by Philip Roth Penguin $3.50 Penguin’s “Writers from the Other Europe” Series, begun in 1975, has been publishing hitherto unknown or unavailable works by modem Czech, Polish, and Hungarian writers, many of whom cannot be published in their own countries. Of these authors, Milan Kundera is undoubtably the most accessible, and will probably become the most popular. Kundera, who is Czech, is better known in America for the suppression of his work by Czech authorities than for the work itself, a situation which the publication of LAUGHABLE LOVES should promptly rectify. LAUGHABLE LOVES is a collection of seven sexual comedies, incisive and very funny inquiries into the social behavior of human beings that ultimately call both the terms “sexual” and “comedy” into question. Man as a sexual animal is not necessarily man as a social animal, Kundera is telling us; why else would he (and she) be forever engaging in the most intimate and significant act that he knows of. without being either significant or intimate in his behavior towards it? All the stories in this volume are good, and one of them, “Let the Old Dead Make Room for the Young Dead”, will become a small classic. The price of the book is fairly high, but well worth it.—G.F. John Lennon: One Day at a Time A Personal Biography of the Seventies Anthony Fawcett Grove Press $6.95 This book, by John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s on.etime personal secretary and companion, is in no way a “biography of the Seventies;’’ it tells, quite straightforwardly, the major events in Lennon’s and Ono’s lives from their meeting in 1966 to the present. Anthony Fawcett, himself a former art critic, is able to write intelligently about Ono’s and later Lennon’s various art projects, exhibitions, and philosophies, although he is less convincing in justifying the high regard for their work he holds. The best parts of the book are his accounts of Johnand Yoke’s early exhibitions, their notorious press demonstrations, and the Beatles’ break-up—all authoritative, and much of it based on first-hand knowledge. The book also contains over 200 photographs, which accounts for its rather high price.—Gregory Feeley Jacob’s Ladder 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Even Cow Girls Get The Blues Tom Robbins, Bantam Books, $2.25 Thpadventures ofSissy Hankshaw, the nation’s champion hitchhiker, as she travels from Virginia to chic Manhattan to the Dakota Badlands, where FBI agents, cowgirls, and ecstatic whooping cranes explode in a deliciously drawn out climax.

Rob Swigart has picked up on the T. V. mentality and created a piece offiction suitable for those people not embarrassed to admit that they enjoy a good sitcom. In that sense LITTLE AMERICA is very contemporary. Not just for the fact that it is the last ten years in print, but technically the book has been crafted to meet the needs and tastes of the T. V. generation. The book is composed of short vignettes, two, three or four page doses of description that can be absorbed, the book discarded and then picked up again, as if breathing space had been intentionally interjected to let the mind wander, rehash the day’s activities, and then return to the action, the station-break completed. LITTLE AMERICA is about frustration. But Swigart is not cynical. His story is descriptive. And filled with irony. Mr. Swigart’s protagonist is looking for a place to relax and enjoy his life without outside intrusion and still be in the middle of all things. Orville Hollinday will find this place after he has sorted out all the experiences that every young man must go through as the product of white upper middle class America: college, summer jobs, the pride of a mother who truly cares and a father with only time enough to care between business lunches and chasing young foxes. Swigart satirizes as many different subjects as he can fit. There are the Golden Arches surreptitiously bludgeoned. The war in Vietnam attached to the Russians. Jural corruption. The dissatisfaction with marriage. Blackmail. Sexual fantasy. Swigart has chosen to spoof everything. Nothing is left untouched. Even our sacred Ivy League traditions have been administered a beating. Rob Swigart’s LITTLE AMERICA is an interesting piece of writing. Something out of the ordinary, and something very entertaining. If you choose to read it, read it with open eyes. . Popular Library $1.95 Matte $3.95 These days, I am highly suspicious of any new book which claims on its cover to resemble Tolkien’s LORD OF THE RINGS. I think of it as a cheap trick which publishers use to try to sell more books by conning their customers, and so it is. I am also suspicious of cute talking animal books; aha, I think to myself, they’re trying to cash in on the WATERSHIP DOWN success. But when I finally convinced myself to read Niel Hancock’s GREYFAX GRIMWALD in spite of the packaging, I found myself pleasantly surprised. It’s true that Hancock is somewhat derivative of Tolkien. The character of GREYFAX GRIMWALD, wizard and member of the CIRCLE OF LIGHT, a brotherhood of wizards, bears a fkmilial resemblance to that of Gandalf the Grey. Well, what of that? The shaman character is an old, established Vaditional figure in fantasy tales, with a history reaching back to Merlin and Bleys in the Arthurian cycle. Hancock, like Tolkien, relates a great story of apocalyptic conflict between good and evil, not by concentrating on the main actors in the conflict, but by telling about Dwarf Broco, Bear, and Otter, humble folk with a large part to play, much like Frodo and his companions. Again, having pointed out the resemblance. I will dismiss it. This, too, is an old tradition with fantasy storytellers. What is important about a story of this kind is not the elements which go to make it up, elements which come from a common stock of folklore and faery-tale, but the use to which the storyteller puts t|hese elements. Hancock puts these common elements to very good use. 1 found myself drawn into the story about seven pages in, when Otter enters the scene, and remained cheerfully engrossed for some hours. Hancock is a simpler writer than Tolkien; although GREYFAX GRIMWALD is adult fantasy, it would be comprehensible to a younger audience as well. GREYFAX GRIMWALD is the first of four parts. I will be awaiting the remaining three with some eagerness, and I suggest you do the same.—Kathi Schaefer In 1972 Tom Robbins’ first novel. ANOTHER ROADSIDE ATTRACTION, appeared in paperback and quickly became a counter-cultural phenomenon, becoming for the laid-back, unagitated American youth of the Seventies what ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO’S NEST and CATCH-22 had been for their more engagt compatriots of the previous decade. Robbins’ second novel, EVEN COWGIRLS GET THE BLUES, was published last year, to extraordinary critical and popular acclaim. An inexpensive paperback edition has just appeared, and promises easily to surpass its predecessor. Early sales figures, especially on college campuses, have already shot through the ceiling. EVEN COWGIRLS GET THE BLUES is the story of a young woman. Sissy Hackshaw/and her gifted and extraordinarily oversized thumbs, which she uses to escape her impoverished background and go roaming across the face ot America. From this Robbins has spun out a broadly comic and discursive tale about America today generously laced with editorial confidences, mellow cosmic discourses, and a rambling, care-free style. The novel’s most distinctive feature is its tone, a pervasive sense of good will and easy-going humor in which all other elements of the book, plot, characters, theme, are suspended like chunks in a broth. His all-inclusive style, however, sometimes leads to an embarrassing overabundance ofriches; the gentle reader must wade through three epigraphs, an Author s Note, a Preface of sorts and a “Welcome” sketch before reaching the first word of Chapter One, which is surely, even by the novel’s own take-it-easy standards, a superfluity of exfoliation. Bobbin's casual confident style is often fine except when allowed to slide, amidst a general lack of restraint, into glibness and affectation. One should not attempt to make every metaphor a stylistic breakthrough, every phrase a triumph of playful irreverence, or one ends up with a book full of sentences like, “Middays, the city felt like the inside of a napalmed watermelon.” EVEN COWGIRLS GET THE BLUES will be seen sticking out of a lot of jean pockets this summer, which is probably an event to be welcomed. I recommend this book for its humor and originality, but regret that most recent American “Whole Earth” literature (as one critic put it) displays such lack of discipline and precision —Gregory 6 3 Feeley Qfirmrt Houghton Mifflin pElk TH6 OUTRAGEOUS NeWD€STS0i£R H/THC AUTHOR OF ANOTHCR ROAD5IDC ATTRACTION €MEN COWGIRLS G€TTH€ DLU€S AMONG.

Aleytys must leave the tribe where she was raised in fear of her life, and go to search among unknown worlds for the mother who left her behind many years before. Clayton has created an interesting character, and the end of the book seems to promise sequels.—K.S. Norton fans should check out Diadem from the Stars. Jo Clayton’s The Space Vampires, Colin Wilson, Pocket Books, $1.75 Remember those “Thing from outer space” movies of the fifties? Ever wish they had been more plausibly scripted? The Space Vampires by Colin Wilson is nothing more nor less than a thing from outer space story pretty well told. It has all the classic elements, the alien spaceship, the handsome captain, the beautiful alien, the potty scientist, the blind politicians, and a little sex and violence to keep the attention of the kids in the back row. Actually, it’s a little more fun than most of those movies. You can even go back and look at the good parts again.—K. S. . Astra and Flondrix, - Seamus Cullen, Pantheon Books, $3.95 Seamus Cullen’s Astra and Flondrix is not quite to my taste, but there are those who will enjoy it. It is a fantasy novel, full of elves and dwarfs and wizards and demons and conflicts between good and evil. It also contains a good deal more sex, elvish bifurcated sex. dwarvish corkscrew sex, mouse sex, human sex, deer sex, witch sex, demon sex; at all events, a good deal more sex than I really wanted to read about. Sometimes I thought the sex was getting in the way of the story. On the other hand, Astra and Flondrix is an interesting book, and should certainly entertain those who enjoy fantasy sex.—K. S. Science Fiction of the 30’s, Damon Knight, ed. Avon, $4.95 , Another anthology showing the increase of interest in the early pulp magazines of the days before science fiction was respectable, Damon Knight's Science Fiction of the 30's contains a pretty good selection of old wave stories, complete with the original illustrations to lend an air of the pulp format. The modem reader had best be warned that the characterization in a lot of these old stories may seem a bit wooden and stereotyped, and the plots slightly worn and hackneyed, but on the whole the stories wear theiryears well, and it must be remembered that what seems cliched today was original forty years ago. The anthology is valuable for its historical approach as well.—K. S.

(203) 226-3326’ O— — (tO O Bantam Charles Colson’s book, BORN AGAIN, provides an insight into the current American phenomenon of “bom again” Christian evangelism, but Colson himself may have missed the point. Before his conversion, Colson says, he served his country with “burning idealism”, and afterwards he served Christ in the same way. Throughout the book is the assumption that a certain purified mental state will produce virtue. The publishers quote Gary Wills on the cover page: “Colson is the truest American Christian since Andrew Carnegie”. Perhaps. The book makes fascinating reading, at any rate, and it is especially fascinating between the lines. —Richard Vigilante The Hite Report Shere Hite Dell $2.75 In the fifties, Kinsey published his famous “sex reports’’. The sixties witnessed the sexual revolution which was analyzed in depth by the sexologists. Masters & Johnson, Now in the midst of the seventies, Shere Hite has attempted to get at the roots of female sexuality. Hite sent out a questionnaire to women nationally, from all walks of life, and of all different ages. Her probing questions were responded to with surprising candor, thus indicating that women wanted to talk about themselves in sexual terms. Hite has condensed her responses and compiled all the data into a very comprehensive report. THE HITE REPORT is not a dirty book nor is it a book that one sits down to read from’cover to cover. The report is a highly technical work that reads like an encyclopedia but is naturally more specialized. Hite has dispelled many of the female’s guilt-feelings about expressing what she wants both sexually and emotionally. Shere Hite has provided the American woman with a new cultural interpretation of female sexuality We applaud you!—Ellen Josem. All Her Children Dan Wakefield Avon “From the people who bring you National Lampoon” it says on the cover, and on the inside, you discover that the magazine Heavy Metal is the American edition of Metal Hurlant a curious science fiction underground comics French magazine. In the first two issues you’ll find reprints of a couple of things familiar to readers of underground mags: Richard Corben’s “Den," and Vaughn Bode’s “Sunpot,” though to the original printing of “Sunpot” in black and white has been added color. You’ll find translated (and some not entirely translated) tales from theFrench edition, some original material, and an excerpt from a soon-to-be-printed fantasy novel. Heavy Meta! is an idea whose time has come. It was about time that someone lifted the non-comics code artists from the obscurity and the poor distribution of the underground comics to a glossy high-quality production like this.—K.S. O Charles Colson 4) 1 1 AT • s For soap opera addicts and non-addicts alike, this book titled after the very popular daytime drama, ALL MY CHILDREN, is both ridiculous and fun. It is however, an extreme waste of time, as the author is primarily Concerned with relaying a story line which by now is largely outdatea. The book’s value rests solely upon its historical narrative. ALL HER CHILDREN presents an interesting study of the evolution of the American soap opera. Beginning with the popular radio soaps such as “Ma Perkins” the author then moves on to discuss the transfer of soaps to television and all the problems inherent in such a move. The book borders on the absurd when the author attempts to prove the sociological importance of soap operas in the seventies. Any attempt to attach such significance is ludicrous, for soap operas are intended as pure entertainment and possible scandal. I shall continue to watch the soaps and continue to think of them as ‘bunk’.—Ellen Josem �—r> THE JONES con’t. An Especially Tricky People G.B. Trudeau Holt, Rhinehart and Winston i • The dazzling bestseller that author Erica long “Fear of FI calls “ Q y Garry Trudeau’s latest Doonesbury book concerns Duke’s envoyship to China, Virginia Slade’s congressional campaign, Jerry Brown, Jimmy Carter, and other topical subjects. The cartoons, which appeared mostly in the spring of 1976, are among Trudeau’s best, displaying a slashing sardonic wit and a sensitivity to the nuances of modem political absurdities which is keener and richer than his previous blunt anti-Nixon polemics. Despite his occasional biases (e.g. his liberal’s condescension towards Jimmy Carter), Trudeau’s cartoons will probably provide a better account of the vagaries of the last campaign than THE MAKING OF A PRESIDENT 1976 or Barbara Walters—G.F. Dead Souls Nikolai Gogol, translated by Andrew R.

Readers whose acquaintance with the 19th Century Russian novel is restricted to Tolstoy’s and Dostoevsky’s impassioned tomes will be surprised at Gogol’s flamboyant and macabre humor; a highly charged, almost poetic sense of farce which capers continuously at the edge of an unglimpsed, nightmarish abyss. This is the cheapest and most readily available edition of the novel, in good, if rather timid, translation.

Rubin To the Editor. Special Features h'ditor 1 am terribly appalled at the treatment that 1 and the UUAB Music Committee have received this by The Spectrum musTc staff. As chairman of the UUAB Music Committee this year I had hoped that the relationship between UUAB and The Spectrum would be as tight as it had been in previous years. However, d"e to some malicious Statements early in the year by a staff writer, an animosity began between the two organizations, a only to peak with the staff’s latest caper complete black-out of information on one of the most important artists to perform on this campus in years Flora Purim. On Friday, May 6th, I was promised by a The Spectrum music staff writer who I have worked with, that a nice preview article would go into the paper on the Wednesday before the show. Lo and behold on Wednesday, the 11th, the last date for The Spectrum the article was “mysteriously deleted.” Now, I will not place the blame on anyone, but after a series of promises and a similar incident before tlje Dave Mason concert, I feel some sort of explanation is deserved. Please, music staff if you don’t like us, say so. But please don’t promise things and then not deliver! Two hundred and fifty deadlines later, most things are still the same. There are still 70 characters to the line, each line is still triple space, and page two is still called add one. Students who sit around and study annoy me. Unless you’re taking Organic Chemistry, Physics, Calculus 142, Genocide, and Anatomy while holding down a •full-time job, there is no reason not to get involved in something besides classes. In fact, if you don’t, you’re throwing away the most important part of your college education. Really now is the couple of tenths of points on the cum worth the satisfaction and experience gained from working on The Spectrum or CAC, or by playing varsity soccer? I say definitely not. For me, coming to The Spectrum was an obvious move,' I had written in high school, and I wasn’t about to make it on any varsity team even at this school. What’s more, our high school paper had earned itself a reputation as being almost revolutionary, and the satisfaction of being associated with it was high. That same feeling of satisfaction has remained in college. I am not an emotional person. Ever since I learned not to throw temper tantrums when my father beat me regularly at casino 13 years ago, I don’t get worked up over too many things. So, I won’t cry when I ease my car onto the Thruway for the final time in a few weeks. But I will not rejoice either. Somehow, 1 can’t get maudlin about leaving Norton Hall, but the memories of the times and the people are still there. Some once told me about the rubber band theory. He said that nobody ever finds it hard to leave Buffalo. Heaven knows, the weather can’t rival Florida. (Hell, it can’t even rival New York.) The city is like a rundown national historical site, and the school can’t decide whether its expanding or contracting. Yet, as much as people think their deities that they’re finally out, sooner or later everyone comes back. There is an incredible security at this school. The campus may seem big to a freshman, and in reality it probably is, yet the tightness of quarters " — - Len Chodosh, Chairman i'JUAB Music Committee The Chinese constituency To the Editor: As a former vice president of the Chinese Student Association (4975-1976), I would like to make a remark on “Mr. Tang replies listed groups of In his letter, he stated; .. “ . . . which, to the best of my knowledge, a great majority of the constituency has to date achieved to such a high level of understanding of the international affairs that in fact surmounts the level of recent development of the US-China relations. It therefore merely reflected an advanced understanding of such a situation on behalf of the above said constituents.” As one knows, the Chinese Student Association (one of the “listed groups”) is composed of people from various places, like Taiwan (where 1 come from), Hong Kong, New York City, Malaysia (where Mr. Tang comes from), etc. Many different views on international, political issues exist. Some are gives the school an incredible intimacy, something that is missed when people leave. I know I’ll be back. The story does not end here. I want to know how this school moves northward, and whether football takes the school by storm (what an apt word that is), and whether The Spectrum is worse, the same, or better than it has been this year. One thing is for sure, though. After 1 finish this story, and leave this office for the last time, there will be incredibly large void in my daily existence which will be impossible to fill. The tri-weekly routine of putting this thing together is habit forming; the people are the same, the issues are the same, the problems are the same, and even the jokes are the same. I feel justified in breaking with any professionalism that at all remains in this column by saying that this year’s editorial board and staff is a top notch bunch of people. Criticism is another word for editing, and after all the editing that has gone on here the good feelings which permeate this office represent quite an achievement in human relations. And, since we’re from devitating professionalism, let me say “Fredda'Cohen, David Shapiro, and Gary ‘Radar* Wolfe” (These people, more than anyone else have begged for recognition somewhere in The Spectrum and now they have it), to quote one of America’s most “Finally, legendary pseudo-journalists, Irv Weinstein, noe more attempt at humor is forthcoming, dedicated to Barry Pendletone, the author of a somewhat uncomplimentary letter to the editor concering this piece. Not long from now, a Gary Debit will graduate with a degree in accounting. His parents will take him out to dinner at the Cloisters. Hy will order steak, and his parents will order lobster tails. When the food arrives, Gary will ask his parents if it tastes good. Mr. Debit will say it does and will ask Gary the same question. “I don’t know,” Gary will replay. “What do you mean you don’t know?” will say Mrs. Debit. How can you know know whether or not you like your steak? And Gary will say, “Because there’s no accounting for taste ” opposite to Mr. Tang’s. Therefore, unless officially appointed, which is not true in this case, it is dangerous, misleading, irresponsible and sometimes not ethical to speak “on behalf of the above said constituents.” GSEU deplores music cuts Shao-tang Sun students stand together and demand their right to quality education that will have some meaning and We of the Graduate Student Employee’s Union practical value.

Editorial policy is determined by the Editor-in-Chief. offree speech To the Editor We tend to believe that in the United States in general, and in an institute of higher education in particular, individuals have spent years of their lives trying to become rational and possibly to come to believe and respect the principles of basic democratic rights such as freedom of speech. What is happening on this campus is a negation of that principle, i.e. the continuous behavior of some individuals or groups who have made it a habit to tear down the Arab Student’s Bulletin Board on the first floor of Squire Hall. This is the same bulletin board which hosts information of Israel. We are dismayed and angry at such practices because while we tend to believe in one thing, what we see is a total negation of that belief. This is the belief in the Freedom of Fixpression. It disturbs us because it brings back memories of certain ugly fascist practices. Therefore, we would like to alert the University Community to these practices. Our reason for this is that our belief is still strong that the truth cannot be suppressed in such a destructive manner, but that rather it is up to the individual reader to decide what is right and what is wrong. Many students on this campus get bombarded everyday with many posters and leaflets reflecting different and broader points of views. These students are capable of recognizing this sort of behavior. But, this is 1977, and mankind has sacrificed much in order to preserve certain human rights. - Alt El-Zalan Budr El-Arfan � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The afternoon’s theme offered few clues as to which ' way and Wednesday’s Thursday’s voting would go, but instead centered on the failure in student government in recent years, as students, SA explained by President Dennis Delia, and longtime critic Levinson. All participants seemed to agree that something was amiss in the student government, but were divided over the question of — — whether Levinson’s proposal was a workable alternative. In Ketter’s hands The Student Wide Judiciary cleared the way for the voting by ruling against SA’s motion for a permanent injunction last week. SA leaders claimed that although Levinson apparently complied with the Constitution in garnering the signatures of one tenth of the undergraduate population for the petition, the referendum • was “clearly illegal” in not complying with student fee activity guidelines. They also contended that because a course does not yet exist, it provides no apparatus for the business of conducting government. The petition to reform student government into credit granting courses was the first petition submitted under the present SA Constitution. It would prohibit students in the course from receiving money for their work. SA officers and members of other student are organizations currently paid stipends. Delia acknowledged there were problems in SA, such as wasted money. He quickly offered the referendum as an example. SA sources have put the price of the referendum at $700. Delia repeated his contention that students would be voting for something which did not exist, and that the idea, if successful, would put the business of the Revisions in TAP guidelines come under protest by GLS Group Legal Services (GLS) has filed a suit in State Supreme Court charging that recent revisions in the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) guidelines discriminate against college age students that file as independents. The suit, filed on behalf of the Student Association of the State the University (SASU) and Student Association (SA) of this University, accuses the New York State Higher Education Services Corporation, the administrator of TAP, of purposely excluding college age adults from receiving assistance as independents. It also charges that new guidelines directly conflict with a recent lowering of the State’s legal “age of majority” from 21 to 18. That revision means that parents are no longe r responsible for their children after they reach 18. The new TAP guidelines exlude all adults under the age of 22 from filing as independents, except in cases where their parents are either deceased or disabled, according to Director of GLS David Brownstein. Dennis Delia student government in the hands of the Division of Undergraduate Education and the Ketter Administration. Delia said the elimination of stipends would restrict student government to the rich. “I could not pay the - rent without my stipend.” Levinson contended that students would be able to have the courses in student government listed the by University. “President Ketter could have a course tomorrow if he wanted, he said, arguing that students ought to be able to form courses. He said the courses could become part of The Thomas Jefferson School of Governmental Studies- Michael Levinson more, effective, he maintained Lev envisioned the meetings of the new student government as an open forum “an electric situation” students would decide how to spend the $900,000. “The government for bourse credit will allow us,” Lev said, looking up at the sun coming through the streaked lounge windows, “to wash the windows in here and award ourselves five pizzas.” Lev also offered in a fast-paced monologue his criticism of the - — Student Senate’s decision to commit a fixed amount of money to athletics over the next four years, as a way of bringing back football. He also repeated his longtime that position professional employees of the 'An electric situation' student government and student Lev questioned the educational corporation were over-paid for philosophy which places greater work which could be done at less emphasis on formal classroom cost by students, and that these training, as opposed to learning employees dominate events in through practical experience.

New committee will handle student gripes A new committee, to handle complaints anout University Police, housing, and landlords is being formed by the Student Affairs Task Force and Director of Student Affairs Paul Glauber. According to Glauber, any student with a complaint can pickup a special form requiring the names of all parties involved, the time and date, and the specific charge. He emphasized that “all forms received in will be taken in strict confidence.” The form will be processed in several phases. In its first step, the charge will be brought before the Review Committee, which is comprised of Task Force members. The appropriate action to be taken will then be determined. If the complaint is considered valid, it will be sent to the Group Legal Services Director who will consult their lawyer, Richard Lippes, on possible further action. If deemed necessary, court action will be initiated. A response The new ruling leaves students under 22 who are erpancipated from their parents, either by chance or by choice, ineligible for TAP awards. The same students will still be eligible for federally Basic Educational funded (BEOG) Opportunity Grants which use the old TAP guidelines. They state that an independent student must not have been claimed on his parents tax returns for two years, live at home, and/or have received over $200 from them. The Spectrum learned of the suit in advance of a scheduled press conference later this week. A spokesman for the New York Higher Education Services Corp. declined to comment on possible action. Director of Financial Air Joseh Stillwell was asked if the stricter guidelines were a response to a Controversial Glauber pointed out that if there is a question of University policy involved, the, committe will contact the party that has been charged for WbB& Exceptions exist Stillwell saw the tighter controls as a legitimate response to the increase. He said it was well-known, that many students independents file as while receiving considerable aid from their parents. The new guidelines will effectively eliminate cheating on TAP applications, he claimed. Nevertheless, he acknowledged that there are students who are clarification. to extenuating due circumstances,” Stillwell observed. “They ask us ‘Should I go independent?’ Well, it’s not a question of should I or shouldn’t I, but of need.” felt the new Brownstein totally were guidelines unconstitutional based on their conflict with the “age of majority” in New York State. He also felt confident about winning the court test. Director of University Police Lee Griffin said, “1 would rather see it operate as an advisory board than as a review committee.” He expressed an interest in the idea as long as it did turn into a “witchhunt.” Director of Group Legal Services (GLS) David Brownstein said, “There’s been a movement every year with the‘ new S.A. Administration to check on security and the complaints about them. This year, however, there were a number of controversial issues directly involving them.” He added that the potential success or failure of the Review Committee is dependent on Glauber and his ability to,motivate people. Brownstein stressed he will give active consideration to any proposals deemed important enough to reach his office. On the question of housing and landlords, Brownstein said, “Legal services has traditionally been involved with landlord-tenant cases, not only off-campus, but with housing, too.” All a student must to do join the Task Force is attend two consecutive meetings. �Seabrook protesters decry jail conditions IS by Harold Fleisher Spectrum Staff Writer “Our spirits remained high throughout our ordeal,” explained one of the 1,414 nuclear energy protesters arrested at Seabrook New Hampshire after returning to Buffalo. Charles Salamone was arrested for his involvement in the occupation of the proposed $2 billion nuclear generating plant in Seabrook, New Hampshire. Salamone, who was one of fifteen people arrested from the Buffalo area, paid $100 bail to ensure his return home. The occupation, which took effect on Saturday, May 1, included an estimated 2,000 protesters. Under the supervision of the Clamshell Alliance, the protesters occupied a 40 acre piece of land within the Seabrook site allotted them by Governor Meldred Thompson. The protest continued overnight and at about 3 p.m. Sunday afternoon the Governor handed down a decision to begin arresting the protesters still found at the Seabrook site one half hour later. Freedom was granted to the people who left the construction site in the time allotted, and at 3; 30 p.m. state troopers and the National Guardsmen began arresting the peacefully awaiting demonstraters. The process took 14 hours, exactly 1,414 people were arrested and taken to Portsmouth. axVn —airto— ' Saturday, May 14th in the Fillmore Room, Squire Hall 9:00 p.m. In meat trucks Many people spent up to 17 hours inside run down meat trucks as well as military buses awaiting arraignmentAlthough Salamor e stated that police used “no excessive violence” during the arrests, he emphasized that “people weren’t advised of their rights.” Charged with criminal trespass, the demonstraters were served with 15 day jail sentences, with credit given for the time spent in armories throughout New Hampshire. Bail was set at $100, while New Hampshire residents minors, and unhealthy participants were released M on their own personal recognizance. After this decision was made, Clamshell lawyers attempted to have everyone freed under the same stipulation, but this was denied. ONLY TICKETS Upon entering the armory at Somersoworth, where all Buffalonian protesters were kept, the 247 people were cramped into a 70 by 100 foot area where they were forced to sleep On the floor for the night. This was to be the case until Thursday, when cots were distributed. Salamone described the food as being pretty bad except for the night vT<»To^o7MT<*T«>.».<».M».«.t»T«>ff»7H7o7oyo7oTuV»V>>ToTuff<iTi»T«»y«T«»T« t ff«>V««y..V.i?..«r^^j the Attorney General visited and made it clear that there was no coincidence. Even though there was a shower room available, the prisoners weren’t allowed to shower until Thursday when soap and H U $2.50 for students AVAILABLE || towels were distributed. Salamone accused the national guard with enfringement of rights when phone calls were prohibited the first day. When the calls were at U.B. Ticket Office, Squire Hall at your UNIVERSITY granted the next day, they were monitored by guardsmen threatening to disconnect if conditions and a number of people in the armory were bookstore mentioned. In summary, he said, that the National Guardsmen were very friendly, as well as occasionally sympathetic, to the cuse. Arrests While commenting on .Governor Thompson’s decision, Salamone said, “He couldn’t have though that we’d all stay.” He pointed, out that state officials did not have the capacity to arrest that many people. As of last Wednesday, the total cost to New Hampshire was $1 million and increasing by $50,000 a day. As it stands now, there are approximately 630 prisoners still being held for their upcoming trials, some scheduled to begin today and some scheduled for as late as the end of August. Salamone emphasized that the major fear that state would charge the organizers of the occupation with conspiracy. Salamone stressed the importance of protesting nuclear power plants. He rebutted claims by nuclear power advocates that there have been no accidents, and stated that most people are ignorant of the problems in disposing of nuclear wastes, and in disposing of nuclear reactors themselves. The Seabrook project, which has been stunted for the time being, is far from completion. The Public Service Commission of New Hampshire must first overcome two major problems: the Environmental Protection Agency hasn’t given the project a cooling permit due to inefficient planned cooling facilities and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has not yet given the project final approval.

The Work Study students who fall into the inexperienced category are the “victims” of the major inconsistencies, according to Gott; they comprise Group B, which includes new graduate and law students who are inexperienced in the Work Study Program and receive $2.50 and $2.65 an hour respectively; $800) who new undergraduates with high Work Study awards ($700 have no previous work study experience and who begin at $2.50 an hour; and new undergraduate students with low work study awards $500) with no previous work study experience, who begin at ($300 $2.30 an hour. The unprecedented criterion' of award size used in determining the hourly wage rate has caused the problem. The size of the Work Study award is determined in individual financial aid packages, and individual need is not considered, although Carter said he takes these facts into consideration. Students have the opportunity to determine the amount of hours they work, and, therefore, two equally needy students may have totally different work study awards, although they may have the same initial grant from financial aid. One student may prefer to take out more loans instead of work study, and another may prefer to work off the entire sum. The question here, is, why should there be an irregularity in determining wage rates on the basis of award size? Gott and Ribbler brought this any many other points to the attention of the committee^ — Vilates guidelines Larry Kibbler’s personal case is an unusual but pertinent one. Ribbler began working in the work study program with an award of $500 he was paid $2.30 an hour while students doing the same job were getting $2.50 an hour, in direct violation to the guidelines set forth in the Work Study Manual. Gott pointed this out to him and Ribbler began questioning his wage rate status.

American technology, despite its penchant for the complex, the unfathomable, sometimes produces a thing surprisingly simple, yet remarkably functional. -One such device, invented 25 years ago, was the auto air bag, a safety device found to prevent death and serious injury in even the most severe head-on and front-angle collisions. A friend of mine lost his wife a short while back. He’s a widower at 26. A young age to watch your life crumble before you. Patrick sits in solitude quite often now. Lonely, though hardly friendless, he thinks hard about how it was when Rita was there, when they would talk, joke, eat, play, read, think, love. His eyes, downcast, seem to scan the floor for answers. He’s never told me just how much he misses here, but the pain is terrible. It shows, dim but visible, through an imperfect veil of normalcy. Rita died suddenly, in an auto accident, on a cold slippery afternoon at four o’clock, while driving home from just another day at work. She was, they say, only going about 30 m.p.h. Her car met head-on with a pickup truck also going about 30 m.p.h. It had slid into the wrong lane. . Though she usually wore a seatbelt, she sometimes forgot, as she had this day. Unrestrained, she was hurled forward, and the force with which she struck the steering wheel opened her head from her hairline to the back of her neck.

A well-built machine, according to consumer magazines, but small, dangerous, unprotective in a crash. Rita and Pat had pooled their resources to buy it. It was a big investment, for this bright dazzling thing that gave much pleasure to the eye and great gas mileage to boot. But it was small and light, as a huge number of the new fleet is. They though it would make their contented lives a little happier, a little more confortable, and more economical in the long run, Pat, I fear, will be troubled by this disastrous rationale for the rest of his life.

Impossible to attain In 1973, General Motors agreed to offer air bags as a special option. This lasted for two years. Now you can’t buy a car with air bags if your life depended on it.

For auto workers, there will be new jobs manufacturing and installing the units; for the car owner, in addition to more protection, there will be reductions in insurance costs (Allstate is already offering a 30 percent reduction) which means that air bags will pay for themselves over time; for insurance companies, there will be again made to issue an air bag statute for 1974, they were killed by the Nixon White House, under heavey pressure from the auto industry.

I never saw the air bag inflate or deflate, nor did I feel or hear it, it was so fast. My glasses were not broken. I felt stunned and amazed to be uninjured and alive.” Since this very harrowing experience, Arms has been trying to get air bags for his new car, but Originally a must can’t.

According to Gott, the inconsistencies in the work study program are obvious since all work study students fall into one of two groups: the first, Group A, concerns experienced Work Study Students and includes graduates that began working at the graduate level for $2.50 an hour, and return for s subsequent year at the same rate of pay; undergraduates that are already receiving $2.50 an hour and continue to receive $2.50 an hour after they return; and undergraduates working for $2.50 an hour that graduate and continue to get $2.50 an hour. though Rita had no seatbelt on, WANT?

The problems arose over the apparently inconsistent criteria used in determining a student’s hourly wage evident in some cases where two students the same job received different pay, inspite of the existence of equal pay regulations mandated by the College Work Study Manual. Several students have joined together contesting the validity of varying wage rates for student, who do the same type of job. They have met several times with Director of University Placement and Career Guidance, Wes Carter, in order to find out what guidelines exist concerning the determinants of hourly wage rates.

Page three �David Frye: a jokerand evoker For the next few minutes, the audience viewe'd a Nixon collage film while listening to Nixon’s (Frye’s) rendition of “My Way.” Several choice moments resulted when the words and pictures were juxtaposed. Politics was the next order of business as Rockefeller drawled, “I’ve got enough oil to heat the whole state but since you knocked me out; of office you can freeze your asses off.” Humphrey on Carter: “He can’t think without his teeth. The man is a tooth.” On came the Tooth sparkling “Son of a bitch, I’m the President!” He spoke first on overpopulation, stating, “We have to find humane wUysto increase the suicide rate, like further depressing an already unhappy person. If a student thinks he’s going to get a B, flunk him instead.” , he remained ever innocent about Watergate: “I was in by Denise Stumpo Staff Writer Spectrum “Well, I’m happy to be here in the gym,” said David Frye, and they laughed. Of course, it was all in the way he said it. The aroma of rubber mats was in the air Saturday night as Frye, the famed Nixon-impressionist, spoke and joked at Clark Hall. Btooklyn born, Frye began with his beginning: “My father asked my mother, ‘You want to go to bed or what?’ She said, ‘What?’” Attack is Frye’s forte, and television a prime target. “Do you know where your children are?” asks the public service announcement. “Yeah, buddy, I just want to know where the hell my wife is,” Frye replies. “And have you seen the one about VD; You asked for ' it, you’ve got it.” Next Frye cut “candid” commercials to ribbons. “Just once I would love to hear some guy say, ‘I think it sucks. I think you suck.’” Trilling sweetly now; “1 used Feminique this morning and my breath still feels fresh.” This evoked considerable laughter from the crowd of 500-odd people. According to one student, Frye uses the college circuit as testing ground for his new material. Many students did not appreciate the fact that he used notes and kept glancing at them during his act. “It’s unprofessional,” said one. The impressions began with “that guy who don’t get no respect.” Then fast-talk Rod Steiger came on and introduced Marlon Brando as The Godfather. Frye used no words but achieved the effect with sloping shoulders, weary facial expression, nodding, and hand gestures, to which the audience responded. Sighing, rasping: “I told Nixon if he had only come to see me . .” And to a would-be photographer; “No pictures, please or I’ll shut your ass out.” T)n came the one they had all been waiting for, arms up, fingers out into the famous “V” for victory symbol. “I never OK’d hush money, just shut up money,” he alleged rapidly. Referring to David Frost as “that limey bastard,” — - . ... front of me, f couldn’t see what was going on behind me.” His neck jerked and the jowls were out in full bloom. We learned that David Eisenhower swallowed the tapes like a good son-in-law. “1 told him they were round silver cookies and he said, ‘Oh. Goody!’” On a humble note, he praised Jimmy Carter as a “fine farmer. If he wants to stick his nose up a cow’s ass, it’s all right with me.” And, always the. gentleman, “Kind” Richard defended the honor of his former Secretary, Rosemary Woods. “She was a virgin at 44; how could she know anything about breaking and entering?” brought some laughs and some groans from the audience. , Blaring from the stage came the nasal twang of Howard Cosell, here for his very first interview. “I’m inside my mother’s womb. It’s hot and gooey in here and 180 degrees farenheit.” Here comes Sammy Sperm, “looking for a receiver.” Tongue action revealed Jimmy Cagney: “It’s not easy to have a Jew-boy look like me.” Jack Nicholson came with a distorted lip and Dustin Hoffman oinked. Then there was Telly, yelling, “YOU SON-OF-A-BITCH! I hate to talk to you like this, Mom, but it’s true.” Throwing back his head and arm in exact replication of Maude, Frye dropped his voice to a stage whisper; “I know, Walter, you’re making it with that chick Mary Hartman,” whereupon Mary appeared, wheezing abut a broken toaster. Pardons and prune juice “There was never a planned pardon, you know,” Carter revealed. “One day Nixon bumped into Ford and said ‘pardon me,’ so he did.”' To solve the energy problem, Carter announced that he would b riding a donkey to work, adding, “Earl Butz is the perfect ass for that.” After receiving a positive response from the audience, Frye quickly marked his notes. George Wallace was received well. “I’m no bigot,” he boasted. “Any Jew is as good as any Puerto, Rican . . . I’ll tell you what black power is prune juice I believe in free enterprise let the poor steal for themselves.” . Applause brought Frye back for an encore, during which he abruptly turned serious, stating “It’s only in a — ... — country like this that I spell relief Frye returned to commercials, naming Morris as the first gay cat and denouncing Anita Bryant for making a career out of sucking oranges state-to i-state. “What about that Spanish actor?” he asks, “You know, the one who loves his Cordoba?” ‘It gives me everything I want. It holds 120 feet of marijuana. There’s so much pot in the truck it flies.’” Then there is the one that goes, “How do you spell relief? “Just once I’d love to hear them say, ‘F-U-C-K.’” we do now?” . . .

Secondly, though, a belt-airbab combination is the most effective, — — tests have proven that air bags alone are more effective than belts alone. In addition, seatbelts are inadequate simply because people don’t wear them. Less than 30 percent of motorists now wear seatbelts, and experts say that this figure will never rise above 40 percent without a law to enforce usage. Distressingly, under 7 percent of all children riding in cards are ever buckled up. Lastly, air bags, experts claim, have been more than adequately trested. Twelve thousand air-bag equipped cars have driven over 250 million miles. Invovled in over 100 crashes, the units have never failed to deploy, and have functioned as they were designed to averting death, injury. hardship. When statistics are reviewed and arguments weighed, it is impossible with rationality as the guide, to deny the utility and the need for airbags. With gas prices rising and the trend toward smaller, lighter cars increasing each year, more and more death and injury will inveitably be experienced if bold action isn’t taken soon. What we need is a political decision which serves the masses rather than self-minded special interest groups. Perhaps the political climate is right for just a decision.

Rubin Special Features Editor For each of the last three the Kentucky Derby has been threatened, by rain and clouds on Derby morning, but in every year, by some seemingly magical meands, when the horses have walked out onto the track and when the band has broken into strains of “My Old Kentucky Home,” the sky has been clear and the track fast. But, unlike last year, when the favored Honest Pleasure disappointed his tons of thousands of backers who had made him a 2-5 favorite, this year’s odds-on choice, Seattle Slew lived up to his affluent years, pre-Derby praise by dramatically taking the 103rd Kentucky Derby by \V* lengths over Run Dusty Run. Seattle Slew was purchased for only $17,000, a bargain basement price by today’s standards. Yet, the brown and bay three-year-old has yet to lose a race in seven attempts, and has the potential to make horse racing history. With the exception of the 1964 Derby winner Majestic Prince, Seattle Slew is the only horse to ever successfully defend an undefeated record in the Kentucky Derby. Jamjestic Prince losj to Arts and Letters that year ih the Preakness and never raced again. If Seattle Slew wins the Preakness in two weeks, and takes the Belmont in June, he will be the first horse to win the triple crown without ever having lost a race, putting him on a par with horses like Secretariat, Citation, and Man O War. Fast pace “The Slew,” as he is known, did not have an easy time of it, though. A front runner, he started badly out of the gate, and had to move early to reach the front of the pack as they rounded the clubhouse turn. For Ithe moment, considered by many as a top challenger to Seattle Slew was also at the head of the pack, and the two colts raced evenly until the top of the stretch, turning in a blazing 45.4 for the first half mile But, despite the blistering pace, Seattle Slew pulled away from For The Moment and the rest of the pack early in the home stretchy holding Run* Dusty off Run and Sanhedrin to take racing’s most Hallowed race. Kentucky As always, Derby itself serves as a catalyst for a festival as big as any in sport. The week preceding the Derby is an endless stream of dinners, concerts, parades, parties, speeches, and guest appearances. Every Derby produces stories about the exploits of college-age ■youth partying heavily in the infield on Derby Day,. Other stories of celebrities making appearances at the track and also all over Louisville surface. But the sum total of all this is that the Kentucky Derby is many things for many people.

According to Gott, this directly violates the guildelines which state that students who do the same task should be paid the same wage. Rick Foxton, a former student at this University, confronted similar problems last semester in his dealings with Carter. Foxton was unsuccessful in his pursuits to increase his wage to the amount his fellow employees and transferred to SUNY at Albany. There, he received the $2.50 wage for which he clammored. Who gives raises? Another discrepancy involved the distribution of raises. The work study manual states that students should get raises for doing well on the job. This raise, according to the guidelines in the Work Study Manual, can be initiated by student supervisors. However, many, if not all, supervisors are unaware of their power to do so, Gott charged. Carter, in an interview with The Spectrum, last December said, “I’ve probably been remiss,” when asked why the supervisors were kept in the dark about the raise policies. Carter promised he would send a notice in, January to all supervisors informing them of their capacity to initiate raises. However, according to Gott, none of the supervisors at any of the libraries (a major souce of work for the Work Study Students), have been notified. Carter also said last December that the entire salary procedure was being changed, and a “new scale” would be implemented very soon. Gott said Carter’s reply to her questions on that subject were answered by a simple, “Well, I knew you’d be here (at the Grievance Committee meeting) today.” Carter also indicated that he was going to see if he could raise graduate student wage rates to $3.00 an hour. ‘TheSlew’. capitalist’s dream —continued from page 5.. $1.50 a shot, can be purchased any of several bars.

Perhaps the ost obvious piece of price discrimination occurs in the actual betting facilities. On the infield, there is only one large bank of windows, which consist of most $2 lines, with an occasional $5 or $10 wndow. In the grandstand and lower clubhouse, windows are more easily accessible, and the number of $5 and $10 windows increase proporationately to the number of $2 booths. There is also an occasional $50 window. But, in the upper decks, where the wallets are weighty, the wagering is intense. Suddenly, there are no $2 windows at all.

One such attempt was pulled off in 1964 by a handful of University of Buffalo students when they convinced the Buffalo press, the Statler Hilton Hotel and other organizations in the area that they were about to be visited by the Thallus of Marcantia, who was in fact, nothing more than a UB student in Arab clothing. The plans for the hoax were drawn up early in December of 1964. There had been a very difficult freshman test and many freshmen were still uptight after it was over. So one day they came up with the idea for the hoax, using terminology from their bio class (a thallus is a stalk and Marchantia is a liverwort, which is a moss-type plant). They figured laymen would never catch on. After the plans were made, someone reserved a floor in the Statler Hilton while someone contacted the local newspapers. Another student called the Statler Hilton to “re-confirm the Thallus” reservation of an entire floor in the hotel. The Statler claimed no knowledge of the reservation, but when the caller threatened an “international incident” the hotel acted. ,On December 15, 1964 the following item appeared in the local papers; RULER DUE HERE FROM MARCHANTD “Aveilugd Urubod, the thallus or ruling monarch of the principality of Marchantia, will arrive at Greater Buffalo Airport at 1:48 tomorrow afternoon on a two day visit to the Buffalo area. The thallus of this principlaity, about the size of Buffalo in the South Western section of the Arabian Peninsula, will be here until Friday morning when he leaves for Chicago. He is on a State Department tOUr of this country.” In the meantime, students planned a demonstration for his arrival. When the announcements actually appeared in print, news of the demonstration spread around campus. The next day, a crowd of students gathered at Buffalo International Airport. The estimate of the crowd varied from 700 to “more than 2000,” according to the National Observer. “The demonstrators were amiable, goodnatured, otderly, and remarkably well disciplined,” said Vice President for Student Affairs Richard Siggelkow. Many students had signs which said things like, “Arab Go Home,” “Thallus, return to your Palace” and “No Malice Toward Thallus.” •BREAK f L— J\I •S J BETWEEN CLASSES? RELAX AT THE BROWSING LIBRARY OR MUSIC ROOM. They waited patiently for the thallus to arrive qn the 1:48 p.m. flight. Arthur A. Schein, a freshman and leading purveyor of the hoax, had flown to New York-so he could return to Buffalo as the dignitary. While Schein was on his return flight, a bugler appeared at the airport. After sounding a few notes for attention, he announced such things as “The thallus requests that you sit” or “the thallus asks you to rise.” At this point, our separate faction of students, who also knew what was going on, complied with the instructions. Then at 1:50, Schein, disguised as the thallus, arrived. He was dressed in a white trench coat, sun glasses and a “piece of linen around his head.” The friendly part of the crowd greeted his arrivaL But all of a sudden, a demonstrator sounded “Charge” and the groups of students engaged in a pseudo-riot. The police, misunderstanding the situation (since they did not know it was a hoax) went to help the thallus. The police offered him protection and Schein foolishly accepted it. Instead of being driven to his hotel room, Schein was taken to the police where he soon disclosed his real identity and was booked on charges of disorderly conduct. On January 18, 1965, Schein was convicted in Cheektowaga District Court for disorderly conduct in “causing a crowd to collect,” which is a misdemeanor. He was fined $50. The student body made full restitution for damages in a voluntary drive to cover damages estimated by airport officials. Varied reactions Reactions to the “hoax” varied. Some saw it as “good fun and a different way of relieving the pressure of finals.” Others thought it was an “irresponsible act and remarkably immature for supposedly intelligent college students.” But perhaps one of the most surprising aspects of the whole incident was the amount of anti-student media coverage it received. As Siggelkow explained, “Possibly to cover their embarrassment over the hoax, the news media were in no mood to check out the facts or verify all of the statements immediately forthcoming from the angry airport spokesmen. A much more unfavorable report of student behavior than the situation warranted was to result from ensuing and distorted news coverage.” On December 18, 1964, the Courier ran an editorial titled, “Reprehensible Acts of UB Students.” It said, “The irresponsible, outrageous Express conduct of an estimated 1000 University of Buffalo students at the Buffalo Internationa] Airport certainly gives one cause to wonder whether there aren’t a lot of young people in college who have no business being there. Those who participated in the senseless demonstration have given pretty substantial proof that they are intellectually immature and have failed to absorb the basic elements of education taught in elementary schools.” Rising revolt on campus The editorial called for the Student Court to “sift all of the evidence connected with the incident and put blame where it properly belonged.” It concluded with, “We cannot help but believe that the imposition of adequate penalties would be publicly applauded. This treatment would aid greatly in assisting irresponsible students to learn a lesson they apparently have missed somewhere between second and third grade.” The story was carried on the Associated Press wires and reached both coasts (with all the mistakes and misleading facts still in it). This led to other publications picking the, story. The National Observer incorporated the affair into its December 28 story on “The Anatomy of Rising Revolt on Campus,” referring not only to up “more than 2000 students who cut a of $2000 worth of damage” erroneously stating that most of students were unaware that the protest trail but the was a hoax. The Jamestown, New York Post Journal in a strong December 19 editorial called for the development of men and different college entrance tests that would reflect greater emphasis on “maturity and sound good sense.” It also referred to the hoax as one which “endangered the lives and limbs of many a traveler and damaged property extensively.” Biased coverage The now defunct New York Herald i Tribune printed a photo of the false story and treated the whole thing with a light touch which more accurately conveyed the essence of the incident. C.E. Smith now teaches the Biology course which spawned the hoax. He believes, “The incident was the sole evidence that there was some hope for the suppressed undergraduate group on campus” against anti-student organizations. Siggelkow, upset over the coverage said, “Incomplete reporting of minor events about students implies the possibility of carelessness in covering major ones, especially when they are as complicated as Berkeley. Is there a tendency to sahde news to the detriment of college students?” He continued, “Why is it, for example, that no photographer in his right mind would apparently think of taking a picture of a well dressed student in a picket line when he can capture for posterity a bearded and barefoot example? Such pictorial reporting may be news, but is it truly objective? Many misunderstandings about students and their activities could be avoided if the press properly checked out purported facts with appropriate resources. In turn, the institution itself must not attempt to cover up adverse news.” In fact. Smith has a film of Schein’s “capture” which he shows to his classes every semester. He explained, “Nobody has any interest at all in this plant called Marcantia. The film is the only way to get anyone to pay any attention to it,” Coffeehouse season ends by Paul Gartelmann Spectrum Staff Writer Allison’s: If silence is golden, Lew London, the celebrated “King of Western Swing,” wound up this semester’s series of coffeehouses last Friday and Saturday night in Squire Hall’s Tiffin Room. Picking and singing his way through a variety of old and new songs, he was backed up by Mark Josephs on rhythm guitar and harp and Ben Herman on string bass. Lew London’s technique of wooing an audience is to modestly play a superb guitar and mandolin (to mention just two instruments on which he is proficient) while energetically singing his heart out in a style highly reminiscent of Steve Goodman. Like other good performers, Lew’s act is two hundred per cent alive, one to which the audience loves to respond, his sense of humor, his ability to articulate on serious topics, and his knowledge of and interest in Buffalo has made him a campus favorite for several years. The backup band is another reason for much of his success. Though never stealing the show, Mark Josephs and Ben Herman fit very nicely into Lew’s selection of songs, always delivering a steady backing. Mark also plays one of the best harmonicas you’ll ever hear, as demonstrated in “Rodeo Rider.” Fat mouths The evening opened with “Roily Folly,” which immediately aroused the crowd’s laughter. Many of Lew’s other songs also did, like these lines of Mose You wouldn’t have a dime. Your mind is on vacation. And you mouth is working overtime It obviously referred to the audience, but they loved it anyway On a more serious side, London interspersed his comic selections with crisp and mellow instrumentals like “Sweet Georgeia Brown” and “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” and singing softer tunes (Josephs’ “Old Movies”). The backup band is another reason for much of his success. Though If there can be one major criticism of Lew London’s performance, it is that his act in its entirety, including the song selection, nearly every introduction and even the order of his songs, has remained unchanged for the past several years. This is not to say that his act or his standard selections (“Lady Be Good,” “Bourgeois Blues”) is bad or boring. Rather, the opposite is true. But one would hope that after four years a musician with his talents could sneak a few new songs into his act. Lew ended Saturday night with his usual rendition of “One Day At a Time” with everyone joining in and feeling very uplifted about the whole evening. Even if it is the same concert, the mutual appreciation of audience and performer hasn’t changed much down through the years. Wednesday, 11 May 1977 . The Spectrum . Page seven �Trunk transport rip-off ad Editorial To the Editor: Turn it down As observers of this University's Student Association (SA), we agree with what we believe is a majority of undergraduates who feel something is desperately lacking in student government. However, we feel the idea of student government for course credit is not a satisfactory substitute, and urge you to vote against it Wednesday and Thursday. This is how we see it; student government here is deeply troubled especially in its lack of rapport with the average student. Even the leaders of this year's government admit this, in small ways. Michael Stephen Levinson makes many valid criticisms of the student government and the University. The petition signed by at least 1300 students is inadequate because it substitutes one reward academic credit for another, supposedly more corrupting one stipend money. Both ideas stipends and government for course credit assume that students who devote great amounts to time to serving other students should be reimbursed in part for their labor, as editors of The Spectrum and SA officers are. Reimbursement makes sense in attracting talented people and compensating students who otherswise would have to get "normal" part-time jobs. The government for course credit would ensure democracy by equally distributing four credits to all participants. This would require an open, unlimited registration. That means The Colleges and the Division of Undergraduate Education would grant what conservatively could be estimated at 1000 credit hours that is, four credits for two or three hundred students each semester. Maybe this type of pluralistic government is needed to end elitist student leaders. But it very definitely leaves a great deal of the reward for participation in student government, directly in the hands of the University administration. This weighs very heavily against it. However, we applaud the Student Wide Judiciary's decision to uphold the petition. The referendum rule in the SA Constitution was clearly met. We consider the cost — — — — — — In response to the letter in reference to “trunk rip-off’s” and the full page ad placed by my office in my name in the May 4th issue of The Spectrum , let me clearly state the following: It was clear to anyone who read the ad that the contract, written by the Group Legal Services Program Attorney, was being made available to all ,Who wished to use this service. Any person could pearly have seen that there were no implications as to "which services were “better” than others, or which ones were good at all. 1 asked our Attorney to prepare this contract so that every student in the University using a trunk transporter would be fully covered as to loss or damages. Unfortunately, in the past the various Student Governments have had many, many problems with the people who provide these services. Less than two (2) years ago, The Spectrum ran an article that showed that literally hundreds of trunks were either lost, left out in the rain, or damaged in other ways, in one shipment. The Contract provided by the Group Legal Services Program does not eliminate this, but gives the potentially involved a legal method for recovering any damages. The students who wrote the letter objecting to the ad came to speak with me and claimed to be fully insured by a private broker (his father). I requested a Xerox copy of the insurance policy so that 1 may have posted it in our office, for all to see that they were in fact insured. This was never done and as yet has still not been done. Needless to say, I question the existence of this policy at all. Whether the policy exists or not is in fact irrelevant. Our Contract protexts students from the possibility of “rip-ofif” when the transporters’ mouths are larger than the trunks themselves. As for their implication or question as to whether or not there is “something else behind” our contract and ad, let me say this, lam not, nor will I ever be, receiving any funding, promises, graft, pay-off's, kickbacks: or other unethical and financial profits from any transporters in return for the placement of this id. Misters Reider, Band and Spivack assert that this might be true, and that I might be forcing both helpless and honest business-minded individuals like themselves out of business so that 1 may personally collect graft from the larger transporters. An allegation like this need not be defended, yet the character of the people in question and the quality of the services that people of this character might provide might cause some students to reconsider using their services. This was not our intention. We feel that the virtually hundreds of students who have taken advantage of this contract offer have done so solely to insure and protect themselves. The transporters’ major complaint about our contract was that it was not worth the hundreds of dollars that they would be making to take the time out to fill out our contract and insure that students were protected. Once again the Group Legal Services Program is proud to have taken the time out; David K. Brown stein Director, Group Legal Services Program — — money well spent The truth of the matter is that large chunks of the student activity fee are wasted on office budgets, unjustified stipends, fringe benefits and overpaid professional employees. And it is also true that student governments virtually any student government elected under the present is likely not to capture students' imagination, constitution especially as additional budget cuts are made. But the student government and the student corporation also provide an array of activities and services, many of which the administration should, but cannot fund. These services would be left in the air for a while at least if the referendum is approved. This is risking too much, especially since we think the referendum leaves too many idealistic gaps in the future of student life. Change is needed, but this is not the way. — — Showdown: The referendum To the Editor. - - The Spectrum Vol. 27, No. 84 — create.

One alternative which has so far received far too little attention is to Unionize our Student Government. This has been successfully worked with at Geneseo and other universities. What it involves is issues being decided, activities being planned, and temporary representatives and committees being elected by any and all who attend periodic open meetings. This alternative truely calls for the most form of student government available to us. I propose that we, the students, vote down the Leverendum, but that we don’t stop there.

This leaves Paul Glauber, Director Student Affairs �Photos by John Fliss Return to Forever returns with tighter sounds No introduction was necessary. The newly refurbished Return to Forever made their Buffalo debut. I was fortunate enough to have witnessed RTF's concert last year, and I was convinced that, after hearing that four-piece version, no Return to Forever could top it. I was indeed wrong. Chick Corea's crew is currently on an extensive tour of the U.S., and the band is the same as on the new album. I reviewed this album very favorably, recently, and was extremely anxious to witness this new band in person. The five piece horn section, led by the amazing Joe Farrell, was there, as was Gerry Brown, a recent Corea discovery, churning out the percussion. Chick's female friend, Gayle Moran, vocalized beautifully, in perfect contrast to Stanley Clarke's bassier voice. And Chick was there. Need anymore be said about this pianist extraordinaire. The show opened with possibly the best song off the new album, Corea's "The Endless Night." It was only during this song that I noticed an untogether sound. The horns were slightly off beat, and Ms. since the opening song. Moran's voice cracked slightly. However, beginning with the next song, "The Magurian," the band assimilated into a tight sound. The rest of the concert consisted of various songs off the new album, with some remarkable surprises. Stanley, most probably the best bassist around, introduced his two songs off the current disc, and his use of the upright bass The rest of the concert lived up to my highest expectations. Chick did a fine piano piece, and was accompanied by Joe Farrell on tenor sax. Stanley did an exceptional number on the acoustic bass, plucking and bowing alternately. The show lasted some two hours, with a fifteen minute break and an encore added. The encore, an acoustic piece with Chick and guitar-like electric solos proved that this tall, lanky professional was well above and Stanley by themselves, was my favorite section of the performance. Chick stated par before the encore that they rarely do this Ms. Moran sang her only song off the new album, to the accompaniment of her own piano playing, and then proceeded to introduce two other songs she wrote. Her strong, yet delicate vocals were exceptional number The audience was exceptional, considering the silence needed to do the numerous acoustic pieces. The music was tight, and Chick's band leading was superb. I got the opportunity to go backstage afterwards, and sit in on interviews with Chick and Stan. Both liked the audience and proved, by their congeniality, that they didn't let the recently acquired success go to their heads. I truthfully didn’t think they could top last year’s show, but they surpassed it with leaps and bounds. —Doug Alpern �Average White Band is no longer average "Play that funky music white boy." Wild Cherry couldn't have stated it better. In fact, two out of the three "black" funk bands billed at the Memorial Auditorium Wednesday night were all white. The show started at 8:05 p.m., with a very thin crowd in attendance. Maybe the area isn't used to a concert starting on time. The audience was predominantly black, but not by an overt amount. Slave, an all black nine piece band, opened. The instruments consisted of the usual imitation soul band: guitars, bass, drums, keyboards, and horn section. The songs consisted of extended repeats of choruses mixed with stale rhythm. The horn section was arranged well, but the notes were misplaced in the rest of the music. The band played their black network FM hit, "Slide," which got the crowd jumping, but it was their last song, too late. The half hour set was more than enough for my taste, and visions of canes yanking the band members off the stage were flashing through my head. The half hour break was much too long, but we have all learned to accept it by now. At 9 p.m., While Cherry took the stage. "You don't have to be black to play funky music," screamed the announcer. The somewhat filled-in still not crowd, approaching packed, roared with approval. Musical Xerox Wild Cherry, the band that grinded out "Play That Funky Music," got the people dancing in the aisles. The lead singer/ shouted some absurd remarks to the audience, but, stoned as they were, they ate it up. You'd think there were top billed when the confetti guns and balloons (printed Wild Cherry, oddly enough) saturated the swarms located on the floor. The guitarist band had two black horn men, a saxophone and a trumpet, and they were excellent at that. The lead singer, possessing a good strong rock voice with raunchy tinges of David Clayton Thomas, made the mistake of flirting too much with the audience. The music was tight, but tended to repeat (much in the manner of K.C.). One song, "Hot to Trot," sounded at times like a carbon copy of the Ohio Players' "Fire." They played their hit last, and the beat got everyone rockin'. Another half hour of boredom passed, while the crowd socialized and the seats took on more late spectators. Apparently none of the uppermost orange section of the Aud was sold, and the second tier blue section was spotty. The Average White Band took the stage at about 10:20. It seems like only yesterday that lan ad in The New York Times listed AWB playing at Jungle Habitat, a safari park. "Pick Up the Pieces," their first hit, fingered them for instant success. It was fitting, therefore, that they should open with this 1 by Doug Alpern Staff Writer Spectrum piece. Disco Crisco The band has progressed greatly since their American invasion from Scotland in 1974. U.S. discos wore out many copies of their first album. The group had a distinctive sound, and was the innovator'of so called white "black" music. They ran over the racial barrier into this hitherto unfamiliar region. The band has mostly remained intact. Steve Ferrone took over drums on the second album after Robbie McIntosh died of a controversial drug overdose at a posh Cher party. Ferrone has, through three studio albums, assimilated into the framework. Allah Gorrie and Hamish Stuart trade off on bass and guitar, but I think their best talent lies in their vocals. They both had strong voices on their albums, but in concert their sound is great. Their voices are high and powerful and they rang the Aud. Page ten . The Spectrum .

Jim Quinn plays the rating game and wins by Harold Goldberg Spectrum Music Staff WKBW's sound on the AM radio is one of power and professionalism. Not too many years ago, kids would tell stories of how far KB's signal could travel. Someone said you could hear it in San Juan, Puerto Rico. "This is Quinn hangin' out with youse on the radio." Jim Quinn shouts the words into the microphone, his voice projecting 50,000 watts of power over the airwaves. "This hour you can hear 54 minutes of music on KB radio." He lists a large number of radio stations that play less music, then moves into the Number One song taken from the KB Top Thiry. But there is no record on the turntable. "Most of the songs we play now are on cartiridge tapes; tapes_don't wear out so fast," relates Quinn. About two and a half years ago, Jim Quinn found himself disgusted with his position of Program Director at WPLJ in New York City. He had raised the station's ratings during his stay in New York but one of the station's executives wanted to change PLJ's format of music. The typical reason for the change, hypothesizes Quinn, might have been the idea of ABC's President Hal Neal who probably got the thought from his son. “He asked, 'Daddy, why is that station doing that?' And Neal asked an executive Why are they doing that?' And the executive said to me, 'Stop doing that.' So I quit. And the ratings dropped when I left." Number One Quinn sees New York City as having some of the most dull and mediocre radio in the country. But he does not worry about that now. Subsequent to his departure from radio in New York, Quinn arrived in Buffalo. What he described as his first impressions of Buffalo might be said to be a realization of culture shock. "When I got off the plane there were no tall buildings anywhere. I thought, 'What have I done?' I'm in Buffalo and I can't even pronounce the names of the suburbs correctly." Just as Quinn became used to the working class city of Buffalo, so did Buffalo's teenagers get used to him. Not only that, they began to appreciate him. It is not strange, then, to see Quinn as having Buffalo's Number One nighttime ratings. "I get upset when other stations say they're number one. It's just not true," the radio personality observed. This point is especially true in the light of a ratings service result called 'Super-Cum,' which gives KB's advertisers endorsements on commercial spots not only in the Buffalo area, but throughout the eastern half of the country due to KB's power in the evening. Quinn switches on a Sony radio to see what songs other stations are playing. "If people are travelling in a car and hear a short version of Steve Miller's "Fly Like An Eagle," we'll play the long version on top of it." The disc jockey believes that playing the long version of a song will make the station's potential audience listen to KB and appreciate it. He stipulated that editing a song curtails the artist's creativity by cutting down on the amount of communication between the artist and the listener. Crap “The edited versions are pretty crappy," intimates Quinn. "I can't see why a record company will -spend so much money producing and promoting a record and then give it to a guy who makes $12,500 a year to do a hack job on it." Quinn says he would have added the Beatles' sound-alike, Klaatu, to KB's playlist if he had not received an edited copy of it. As KB's Music Director, Quinn admits that most records have to be recorded by well known or established artists to gain radio air play. KB is seen to look to smaller FM stations like WBUF for hints about new songs. If certain songs are being requested to a large extent by - Page twelve . The Spectrum .

Spectrum Music Editor The pitter-patter of Little Feat is a welcome sound in this city, as in many others, and true to record-biz form, this L.A.-based phenomenon has just released a new album and gone on tour, subsequently, showing up, at Shea's Buffalo Theater on Sunday, May 1. The album. Time Loves a Hero, reveals some changes of emphasis and sound within the band and is not, on the whole, as exciting as their last two or three. The Buffalo appearance, although better, perhaps much more pleasing for fans than the new LP, was also something of a disappointment. Despite their audience's rousing welcome, the Feat sounded a little tired this night, particularly the ever-widening Lowell George. George is the closest thing to a "star” in this band of straight-forward musicians, and his subdued presence (or lack of it), both in concert and on the Hero Album, is troublesome. Previously, it had been his songs, singing and slide guitar which made early Feat Fans (among them a high concentration of rock stars and critics) as devoted as they still are. The group's other guitarist, Paul Barrere, has taken up some of George's slack, keeping things going in concert and nearly dominating the new record. Although, like keyboard whiz Bill Payne, Barrere has been writing and singing songs all along, the influence and presence of each gradually more has become apparent. Time Loves a Hero features equal doses of vocals by both guitarists, but Barrere takes credit for a lion's share of the songwriting. New producer Roller,” a Barrere "High intended originally composition for use on The Last Record Album opens the new Hero LP, revealing at once the handiwork a of producer Ted Templeman of sound than that more "LA." previous Feat Albums, where production work was by George himself. The funk is still there, in fact stronger than its ever been, but the abundance of trademark nasty and syncopation instrumentation leave one wishing that there was something more substanial out front. George's growly vocal, typically supplemented by Templeman's imprudent use of the Tower of Power horn section, elicits a shaky sense of deja vu ("It sounds very familiar, but I'm sure it was better "). "Time Loves a before was written cut, title Hero," the bassist Ken Payne and Barrere, by Gradney, and is something of a two-bit social commentary with Caribbean flavoring, in sound quite like "Day or Night" on the Again, the last album. instrumentation and rhythmic structure are nice, but the lyrics and Payne's lead vocal (assisted by the rest of the group) leave something to be desired. "Rocket in My Pocket," the Lowell George original only present, sounds closer to the "traditional" Little Feat sound " guitars and Top row, left to right: Paul Barrere congas; Lowell George vocals; Sam Clayton Kenny row: guitars, cowbells, vocals.bottom - - — Gradney vocals; - Bill bass; Richard Hayward Payne synthesizer. . . — keyboards, - drums and vocals and during his styled solo piano excursions. Payne shouts out the good times on "Oh Atlanta," and we have still not yet heard a Lowell George song, although his soloing picks up here, and with the help of Barrere and Sam Clayton (moved to drum kit except percussion, baffling, brilliantly from congas), the end of the song burns. Lowell leaves the stage, and the rest of the band indulges in a long version of "Dog Races:" more out muddy synthesizer, stratospheric guitar and piano Bassist Gradney and soloing. Drummer Richie Hayward should for their applauded be determination and precision here, but Clayton's congas can't be heard. Ten minutes later, reenter George to sing Toussaint's "On Your Way Down." Crisp piano and guitar solos again sustain answering choruses that will make this song the concert's high point. — . Buffalo concert their Shea's Buffalo In appearance, the Feat did only two new songs, relying less on recent material than they had even a year ago, when, also at the Buffalo, they played a set based mostly on The Last Record Album and Feats Don't Fail Me Now. Barrere takes an early lead this time by singing "Walkin' All Night (from Dixie Chicken ) and a ridiculously slow "Skin It Back" to begin the set. By novy we are entrenched in the sleazy world that often permeates the songs of Barrere and Payne ("Mexican hookers" are a favorite topic) and the band is not getting it right. Harmonies are tight most the time (f/Vevocalists) but tempo and soloing are blurry and slow. Next, a bit of poor|y-amplified synthesizer oppression from Bill Payne on "Red Streamliner." Normally a master of subtle voices and staccato counterinsurgency, Payne, despite a futuristic looking array of amps, mixers and monitors, can't make his instruments (Rhodes, Hammond, Arp Omni) Wurlitzer piano, audible above the guitars and than anything else on Hero, but is far from the album's best cut. Interesting slide work and clever lyrics ("Don't understand that girl, I can't explain/ She got one foot on the platform and the are on the train") Other but never really entertaining innovative. "Day at the Dog Races," however, is a different story: a very distinctive jazz-rock piece penned by Barrere, Payne, Gradney and percussionists Sam Clayton and Richie Hayward. One of the few cuts here that really stands out, "Dog Races contains changes, enough complex dissonance and power to forever disqualify Little Feat as a pure Blues-rock or R&B band. Takin' it to the streets Paul Barrere co-wrote "Old Folks Boogie" with his Father a backed by riff, honky-tonk better-than-usual sings of the senile pleasures of "And ya know unrequited lust that you're over the hill/ When your mind mades a promise that Bill your body can't fill like is, "Red Streamliner" Payne's much of his work, complicated, interesting, but not memorable. Producer Templeman has enlisted the aid of two of his other clients (Mike McDonald and Patrick Simmons of the Doobie Brothers) as background vocalists and the result, as one Doobies fan pointed out, is something quite similar to "Takin It to the Streets," with a little jazzy keyboard thrown in to keep things busy. Terry Allen's "New Delhi Freight Train" is a nice bluesy vehicle for Lowell George's voice, but is marred by Templeman's unfortunate Gabriel and, — " ... decision to add a string section The sound of shufflin' feet Little Feat albums are usually His delivery of Barrere's "All full of songs about amoral or You Dream" is not as That Up "Kpepin' but greedy women, the however, and successful, by Joneses," written the With of this rearrangment messy Barrere and George, is the on'y inferior to such song on Hero.

Prodigal Sun �—continued from page 13— Payne and Barrere cook it up solo for a while, then sink their teeth into a very well-done "Dixie Chicken." George's lead, and the backing vocals from Clayton et al. are again commendable but we are robbed of some of the best of them when the Feat forego "Cold, Cold, Cold" and goes directly from "Chicken" to "Tripe Face Boogie." Perhaps a little (ess than tight, it incites the crowd anyway, with its searing guitars and naturally, its mention of Buffalo in the first line. (Applause) But that's it. The audience is on its feet and the Feat are on their # way, A thunderous ovation brings them back (surprise) for three encores. The obvious crowd pleaser, "I'm Willin'' is first, and the crowd is so excited to hear it that they applaud all the way Jim Quinn through its acoustic introduction, follow with more applause at the first words of the firit verse, the first words of the first chorus, and at each subsequent reference to whites, and wine, "weed, surprising attempt (Applause) A soul of "Feats the multivoiced at Don't Fail Me Now” almost gets the people singing along, but confusion ensues as the group walks off again, one by one, still singing. So that's it, right? No, they walk on again, and with a "Teenage terse Nervous Breakdown," (from Sailin' Shoes ) bid Buffalo goodbye, Lowell George and Little Feat may be still alive and kicking, but the predictability of their new album and the spottiness of theirlive act indicate that, unless these shoes are soon resoled, they may never sail again. —continued from page 12— ... listeners of these stations, those songs might be added to KB's playlist. But Quinn must be careful of what songs are made part of the playlists; for a song not to become popular after addition to the list yields a certain loss of credibility to the 50,000 watt giant that is WKBW. Hypothesizing about a formula he would choose to air should he completely control the songs to be played on a large station, Quinn's eyes light up as he says, "Mellow rock. It's a format on the West Coast that's pretty big. The songs are soft, like James Taylor, The Eagles, and Linda Ronstadt. It's pretty music." Young girls This night / /t is hot in the KB studios; the air conditioning has broken down. $4 degrees of heat and Kiss in Calling Dr. Love. Quinn puts forth that not many people will phone in requests on a warm night as they are either outside or riding in a car. "Usually you get lonely girls with sensual, sexual voices and size 42 belts," quips Quinn. But the phone does ring It is Nina from Long Island calling long distance. She is picking up KB on her radickin New York. At Quinn's last job in that city, Nina became a fan after her friend won a free '{rip to Staten Island. The second prize was tvyo free trips to Staten Island. The practical joke and Quinn's personality seem to have created an undying loyalty for him. Trying tb get a feeling for what music the kids are listening to these days, I ask to answer the phones for a while-. This task is usually that of Julie Halpert but she was persuaded to let me take over the job. Eleven-year-old Doreen wants to hear "Hotel California" by the Eagles. She likes Quinn because he is "funny on the radio." Denise is fourteen years old and requests Leo Sayer's "When I Need You." Sixteen-year-old Ann is a Kenny Nolan devotee as she gives a critique of the new single, "Love Grown Deep.''She is upset that KB is not yet playing it. Nancy has a sexy fourteen-year-old voice and wishes to hear Diana Ross' "Love Hangover." She likes Quinn "Because he picks you up." That he does, Nancy, That he does.

Rain's, favorite Bonnie is the For Little Feat that matter. Ronstadt's, too. to managed has Los Angeles that only band from are Feat's members critical world satisfied. the keep some of the most in-demand musicians for today's premiere solo artists. Lowell George was a guiding force on Jackson Browne's Pretender. Bill Payne's been with Bonnie Raitt since the first album. Sam Clayton can be found playing percussion on a multitude of records. At their concert last Sunday at Shea's, the Feat demonstrated what keeps them critically aloft where others have fallen. There's a toughness, a funk to their playing. It's a spine that, unfortunately, has been missing from many a band's work lately. As a result, they've developed a raving cult, unrivalled in their musical devotion. Members of the band talked about these and other facets of Little Feat after the show Sunday night: They're Paul Barrere: How did you like the show? The Spectrum: I really liked it. Manager: Nobody left for five minutes after the lights went on. PB: Good, It's a good sign. Sam Clayton: Normally we would have played for a longer time. The Spectrum: Why didn't you? SC: Some of the guys in the band didn't feel too . well. Spectrum; you Did mention Oscar The Henderson tonight? Bill Payne: No. I mentioned Oscar Peterson. I said I wished I could play like him. But I decided to just play like I play. The Spectrum; Has he been a big influence on your playing? ,1,BP: No, not really, I just saw a vefy nice program with Oscar Peterson and Andre Previn and they were just sitting there rapping about music. And they had two pianos and they played to illustrate a point. The Spectrum:Are you very influenced by classical music? BP; Yeah I like a lot of different things, classical, rock. The Spectrum: Jazz? BP: Really! Some of the stuff that Weather Report has been coming out with lately. The Spectrum: I think "A Day at the Dog Races" has a bit of that influence. BP: Yeah, I think what it is .. I could play you, if I had it, a tape of, like a show we did with the Allman Brothers back in '71 or '72, when we had Roy Estrada. In '71, we did an off-key tune. It had chordal clashes and stuff. We've been into that stuff for a while. The Spectrum: Speaking of '71. Do you remember a riot at a free concert you were supposed to play at Delaware Park? Why didn't you play? Ritchie Hayward: Buffaloed in Buffalo. BP: We weren't going to play with them throwing rocks. It happened before we went on. A policeman's horse got hit and that's how the fight started. The Spectrum: What do you have to say to the media tonight in Buffalo, the site of the blizzard of "77? Paul Barrere: HMMM. I saw the place the cathedral where they dumped all the snow. All I can say is that I really feel for you folks. It must have been one helluva winter. I think I mentioned that , ... . - onstage tonight The Spectrum: Why didn't you do Cold" tonight? know why? PB: I think part of the reason for that is because we stayed outside Baltimore for about six months, when we made Feats Don't Fail Me Now. So they relate to us in a big way. Eddie Kolikeus is another reason. He'd play us a lot out there in Bethesda. He worked for WHFS. The Spectrum: Do you like playing there? PB: We love it. The crowds are great, the crowds in Boston are also great. We always play in this place called the Orpheum. We played there one Halloween and there were all these people with costumes. It was incredibly freaked out. The Spectrum: Buffalo is never like that. PB: Buffalo seems a rather mild sort of crowd. The Spectrum: It reminds me of last year when you played with Toots. PB: They seem to sit and watch us more than . . We're hot the kind of band to watch. We're the kind of band that you close your eyes and listen to They tend to watch us. We don't get into the flash and the pant of the crowd. We stand on our music. That's why people stand up at the end of our show, because they have watched and they have listened. I think people would have a much better time if they forgot what they were watching. We could put cardboard cutouts on the stage and play behind them, because we're really not a show band. The Spectrum (to Ritchie Hayward); You gonna tell me why you were in correctional school later? RH: What? Where did you hear that? I was only kicked out of three high schools. The Spectrum: Ah, ha! PB: Let's smoke this Thai stick joint. This is gonna be written right? You're not gonna play this on the air? The Spectrum: No. PB: Good, (into the mike) FUCK SHIT, FUCK SHIT!!! The Spectrum: Why do you screw up on so many record covers? PB; Oh yeah, because we're basically confused. The Spectrum: Is that why "Spanish Moon" wasn't listed on the cover of Feats ? PB: Yeah, all those things were (whistles). We went a little haywire. The Spectrum: Why was "High Roller" crossed off The Last Record Album? PB: Man, it was down to the last minute. It was 6 a.m. and me and Lowell were listening to the final mix and I looked at him and said that's a fucking piece of shit. If they put that fucking thing in there, I'm gonna die, and he said, "you're right". So he called up Warner Brothers and said, "cross that one out and put 'Maybe Next Time." We already have our own case history of weird shit. I don't know many people that can trip over their own feet, three or four times a day and still wind up standing. RH: Was that a pun? The Spectrum: Should we ask them what size feet they have, now? PB: Jesus Christ, (laughter) I wear a size ten. The Spectrum; Do you get asked that a lot? PB; This is the first time in a long time. You see Lowell is the guy with the little feet. Only except they're wide, they're about as wide as they are long. They look like Earth pods. The Spectrum: Why is it that you guys have not gone the way of all the other "L.A." groups? PB: This organization is run in such a unique . way. RH: There's an aura of obstinance that overrides any aura of logic. You know all the L.A. bands are logical, so they mess up all the time, so they can't make any money. PB: It's sorta like we're too obstinate to make "Cold* Cold, PB: Lowell's voice is a little bit out because he's got this respiratory infection. It's that we're doing a lot of two show nights. The Spectrum: What about the D.C. album? You're doing five shows. . . PB: Six shows! We're not going to do the live album now, because our voices are going out and stuff. So we decided to not waste the money. The album will probably be done in September when we tour England. We'll probably do it there. The Spectrum: You're really big in D.C. Do you any money. RH: So we just hang on till the end PB: It's sorta like the Enterprise. Everything would be going along, but everytime we'd beam get down we'd onto an adventure that's unbelievable. So we'd wind up screaming "beam us aboard Scotty." And we'd go into the caves for another eight months . . What was the question? RH: Why aren't we like the other L.A. bands? PB: O.K., L.A. bands like Love, The Doors, The Byrds, The Eagles, these guys go back. RH: I was in a cab the other day and the cabbie . —continued on page 18— Prodigal Sun �Percussion Ensemble: Howling with the storm Very often people come to me, asking 'why do you write about black music aH the time' and 'why you write about black culture so much?' / say 'why not?'

Show biz . these things? Come as you are, he said, come as you are. Do I go JAP-pecLout or Drew Reid Kerr Casual - Cool? The answer was obvious, if was the latter. . I'was psyched, folks, right up to the very, hour all my friends and ! vyer'eto leave for the affair. I was in the early car pool, to be there at the Century nice and early. I waited patiently as the guy who was going to drive us did not show up. At the moment of hopelessness, determining the driver missing, the rest of the crew lost interest and decided to take in some cinematic perversion at the Conference Theatre. It was 9:45 p.m., more than an hour after the concert had begun and I was muttering revenge and moping around my room. Finally, Timbo called-, said he was late from chem lab and, let's git to the Concert. The Late Car Pool shot down Main Street, led by the Mario Andretti disciple, the inevitable Tall Paul. We hit the Century at 10 p.m getting into a crowd mainly consisting of college girls and couples, all numbering perhaps a thousand. Friedman was belting it out with his 4-piece band td a nicely enthusiastic audience. When he broke into "Ariel," the people were ricocheting out of their, seats. What really struck me about this song was that Friedman was singing the high parts, not a girl, as I had thought. • • like he,was one-hundre-years old! This all seemed sufficient to me. A bearded young man, Andrew Miller, a seeming veteran at these parties, said that the Ozark Mountain Daredevils bash had better food, including large shrimps and other hot food, unlike the deli being served at the Friedman affair. He made the point, though, that the Friedman concert was better. Tall Paul was anxious to split from the premises. I wanted to talk to Dean Friedman. I wasn't nervous, no, this wasn't Mick dagger. Alby Hecht, Friedman's hyper road manager, was setting tracks in the carpeting from pacing around like a maniac. Timbo and Tall Paul cut out and I was' promised a lift home from Lenny from the Co-op. Geez, what we gotta do to get The Interview! 'Johnny Carson,, was passing time with Rodney Dangerfield on the Boob Tube when I was introduced to Dean Friedman after some guy from Toronto questioned him to death in the room.

I I decided to do it with the kid who guards the backstage door at the Century. I asked him if he had been to any good parties lately. He told me he attended the one the Kinks held at the Holiday Inn. Man, he said, you should see Ray Davies without his makeup, he looked — . . . you know that Ariel comes from the play The Tempest (yeah, it's also a moon around Jupiter), what do you listen to when you relax (whatever's on the radio), etc. I — The shoulders PB: I’ll tell you. I ran into a spurt. A really good A really creative spurt. It was amazing. On the new record I got 6 of the 9 tunes. Because I’ve been; literally busting my ass to write songs. ,1 wanted to become more prolific when I write, so I did a Country and Western ballad; a number that I had written with Tower of Power when we were touring called "Keeping Up With the Joneses." in Europe You can figure that one out for yourself. Then I wrote a tune with my father called "Old Folks Boogie," which is a line that he used to recite to me all the time. It’s just that there are a lot of old folks out there that are still boogeying. The old folks gotta boogie too. Billy and I and Kenny wrote "Time Loves a Hero," which is a bit strange. Bi*t, the premise of that was time loves a hero, but only time will tell. For instance: Richard Nixon was voted in the election by a monumental landslide and then four years later he got a big boot in the ass, when everyone found out he was jacking us all off. You can change the words around, but you get my drift. Also, on the other hand there are people like Michelangelo or Vincent Van Gogh. People that didn't attain their glory during their life time. Only spurt. — - I Page eighteen The Spectrum Wednesday, 11 May 1977 time will tell. But then take in the common denominator of that. Bringing it right back to the middle. Here you have middle man America, who is so fucking bored with his life, his wife, 9 to 5, his car, the freeway, his office. Then he goes on this fishing trip to Puerto Rico and he never comes back. And for this he's a hero because he beat the blue collar hell.. The Spectrum; Would you like to be more like Michelangelo? PB: No, I'd rather be like Spiro Agnew and get the money right now (laughter). The Spectrum: Is Bill Payne getting heavily into jazz? PB: Yeah! I'm a real jazz freak also, so is Sam. I go way back. I really love Eric Dolphy. I think Thelmonius Monk is one of my biggest heroes. You know it gets down to essentials. The early Miles Davis group. Whoosh. John Coltrane. I could rattle on, I mean Dexter Gordon! A good friend of mfhe is Leroy Vinegar, the bass player who played with Les McCann all those years. And even the new wave jazz. I'm crazy about it. Abercrombie and Sancious. That's what I like about "Dog Day at the Races." It's a kind of midstream between them and rock and roll. The Spectrum; How does Lowell take this? It seems his taste is very different. He didn't even play on "Dog Day at the Races." Why not? PB: Well he never played on it. It was like a jam that basically the five of us did at sound checks and he would never come to sound checks. So this tune developed. Lowell is getting to the point, where I basically tell him not to do interviews because it adds to his mystique. I'm trying the reverse psychology routine The Spectrum; Sounds like Jerry Garcia. PB: Yeah, it's the same trip. Lowell had been doing it since the beginning. The Spectrum: Did Lowell sell his hat? PB: No, as a matter of fact. It got left in his suitcase, which got left in a trailer that leaked in a big heavy rainstorm about two years ago. When he got it out it was like a moldy fig newton. Christ. But there'.s another one that we got for him, but it was thrown out. The Spectrum: Why are your recordsso consistently late getting to the record stores? PB: (laughter) Our record was late because Lowell got sick. The Spectrum: Nothing serious? PB: Well, he was .. ill. He was in the hospital. He's still got a little respiratory infection. Basically we had that and then in the final routine somebody that knew us was pressing records out in California for Warner Brothers and we got a first pressing back and it was a bag of shit. So we had to go back and do that whole number again. The Spectrum: I guess we have to cut it short. Last question. Does the band do any drugs? PB:’ Does the band do any hard drugs?

WHAT HAPPENS when the most beautiful girl in the world marries the handsomest prince—and he turns out to be an s-o-b? WILLIAM GOLDMAN’S THfe is mine," saith Buffalo. For some unknown transgression, the Buffalo weather was just not about to let us have our free day in Delaware Park. Under the threat of heavy winds and cymbals blowing into some yak cages, the UUAB-Buff State-BUF show was moved into the gym at the College at 7 and 10 p.m. Sunday night. This originally put a slight damper on things, but by the time Jesse Colin Young finished his first number, the crowd forgot all the delay and inconvenience and went with the music, as an audience often does. The first obstacle arose on Thursday, when Garland Jeffreys cancelled his tour. As a replacement, Buffalo got its first reggae concert act since Bob Marley last May. The Heptones are straight from Jamaica (de reel ting, mon), and are as professional an act as the old Motown ones were, complete with choreography and Michael Jackson look-alike vocalist. Aside from Marley's "Roots, Rock, Reggae," the Heptones performed all their own tunes, mostly your average Jamaican political philosophy numbers. But they were fun, at least. Mink DeVille was not so funny. An advance pressing of his album hinted at a Southside Johnny R-n-B oriented band. The performance was more along the lines of Lou'Reed's music. At one point during "One Way Street," I heard something of "I Can't Explain," But they were far too loud for the gym. After repeated requests from the crowd to turn the volume down, DeVille responded by calling them all assholes. His further response was to describe a highly denigrating and what he must have thought amusing scenario between Joni Mitchell and her producer. That did nothing to win the hearts of an audience that was probably 90 percent idolatrous of Ms. Mitchell. Two numbers after this, he left the stage. On the wing The reception of the first two acts showed quite clearly what the audience wanted to see. When Jesse Colin Young and band came on with "Songbird," the restlessness and bad mood disappeared. Spontaneous applause was heard in the middle of the opener, always a good sign. Young himself seemed a bit tired, but happy that he made it. Jesse, who professes a true love for dixieland and ragtime, enlisted wife Suzi for "Do It Slow," a number from the latest album. Love On The Wing. "I just love it," said Young. "There's been ragtime and dixie tunes on almost all the albums as far back as when Jerry Corbitt and I formed the Youngbloods, and "Grizzly Bear" was the first tune." Young pointed out that many people think of more as jazz than actually is, due to the horn work of Jim Rothermel and Peter Welker. Welker, who joined the band this tour, played an excellent flugelhorn during "Do It Slow," while Rothermel amazed the audience with Dixie clarinet. Young took up a telecaster on "Louisiana Highway," with Suzi doing percussion. Ms. Young is more up front than ever, taking several vocal solos throughout the set. But it was "Before You Came," when Jesse played his first leads of the evening, that got the standing ovation. Keyboardman Scott Lawrence contributed synthesizer, in the echoed manner of "Ridgetop," from the "Song For Juli" collection. After Hank Williams' "Hey Good Lookin'" the band closed with "T-Bone Shuffle." Jesse did a little scat singing with his guitar, a la George Benson. The encore Lightshine," and silence was descended in minutes, as Jesse, Suzi, and Bassist David Hayes sang the harmonies. Rothermel took a beautiful sax break here, and the song ended with the house lights on. The late show got the extra added bonus a second encore of "Get Together," resurrected from the Youngblood days. The park was cold yesterday, but the gym was windproof. Everyone involved with producing this show should be commended for getting it off the ground under the most horrendous circumstances. No one can control the weather, but the crowd was able fo get off on the music anyway. Now, if only it were " — July . . .

If the Bulls had any chance to make the ECAC Playoffs, the losses to Division III Ithaca probably killed it. The two losses snapped Buffalo’s seven game winning streak, and dropped the Bulls’ record to 18-18. A tournament selection committee will decide whether the Bulls make the playoffs later this month. In the four wins, Buffalo’s pitching was exceptional; as Bill Casbolt pitched a two-hitter against Penn State on Thursday, and then combined with DiflJ Griebner to no-hit Colgate on Saturday in SPENDING THE SUMMER IN NEW YORK?

Reasonable fees are made possible by the support of the City and State of New'York. Upper East Side at 68th Street between Park and Lexington. The college is conveniently located on the the second game of the doubleheader. Ron Nero allowed only six hits as Buffalo beat Colgate 7-1 in the first game, and Dave Borsuk, Griebner, and Jeff Geruatt allowed Canisius only six hits on Friday leading the Bulls t.o an 8-2 win. In that no-hitter, Griebner started and pitched well, although he allowed a run in the second on a sacrifice fly. Buffalo could only score one run, and after five innings, the score was deadlocked. Griebner hit one Colgate batter in the sixth and walked another, and with two on and one out, Buffalo Coach Bill Monxarsh sent Casbolt to the mound. Casbolt struck out two Colgate batters to. end the inning, and then Buffalo scored twice in the seventh to win the game. Frozen field Against Ithaca at frozen Peelle Field on Sunday, Buffalo could do not right. The first game saw them drop a 9-3 decision as Bombers’ pitcher John Minarcin went all the way. Casbolt and a cast of thousands took the mound for Buffalo. Ithaca jumped to a quick 4-0 lead off of the usually reliable Casbolt who was replaced by Borsuk in the third. It appeared that Borsuk had calmed the storm but in the top of the fifth inning Ithaca’s Gary Kucich led off with a walk, and after shortstop Kevin Van Remmen flied out, John Nicolo singled Kucich to third. Both runners scored immediately when first baseman Richard Preston hit a tremendous home run over the right field fence. putting the game out of reach. The Bulls mounted their only offensive threat of the afternoon in the bottom ha|f of the fifth inning, when they gathered three runs on two hits and some control trouble by Minarcin. Bulls score Left fielder Scott Raimondo led off for the Bulls with a single, and quickly found himself on third base when Minarcin walked Jack Kaminska and Mike Dixon consecutively. It appeared that the Ithaca hurler was trying to keep the ball away from the hard-hitting Dixon, and issued a semi-intentional pass. Minarcin then wild-pitched one run home, and catcher Phil Ganci hit into a fielder’s choice driving home another. After Mike Groh struck out and Pederson walked, Jim Wojcik singled up the middle, bringing in the Bulls’ final run. Ed Durkin fanned to end the inning. The second game was not much different than the first, except that the Bulls got zero runs in this one and the weather got colder. Ithaca hurler Karl Steffin kept the Bulls in check for the entire game allowing three harmless singles to Ed Durkin, Joe Vizzi, and Wojcik. Additionally, Steffin prevented the Bulls from garnishing any luck from the wind, keeping his pitches low so that the Buffalo batsmen were unable to get the ball in the air. Through the first innings the Bulls managed two singles and two fly balls to the outfield, hitting everything else right around the diamond. Betz struggles Sophomore Mike Betz started the game for Buffalo, but was replaced by frosh righthander Bill Coomber in the fourth. Betz had walked six men in three and a third innings before yielding the mound to Coomber. The most probable reason for the Bulls’ poor showing is baseball itself. The Buffalo squad had played a total of six games between Thursday and Sunday and were undoubtedly tired from the rigorous schedule. After Saturday’s twinbill to Colgate University, they immediately traveled home for the set against Ithaca. As Coach Monkarsh commented on the sidelines during the second game’s waning moments, “They’ve just had too much baseball in the past few days.” LIMITED COLLECTOR S EDITION RED For further information write or call: SCHOOL OF GENERAL STUDIES HUNTER COLLEGE OF THE CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK 695 PARK AVENUE, NEW YORK, N Y. 10021 (212) 570-5646 bjr/tralfjazz/wbfo present BIN RECORDING ARTISTS ON TOUR Gary Burton Quartet FEATURING CBCRHRRD UICBCR German Acoustic Bassist Gary Burton/vibes Pat Metheny/guitar Steve Swallow/electric bass DannyGottlieb/drums TU. one night only h/lowiO I DUiS., lYlay 8:30 pm TERRACE ROOM-STATLER HILTON Tickets: $5.50 advance $6 door P.

Page twenty-one �* r '4 Guest Opinion by Marty Schwartz I normally choose not to write guest opinions, for I feel a good news story will explain the facts of a Controversial stituation, and trust the readers to grasp their significance and then make up their own minds. However, the running debate over the “Leverendum” has become so complex and distorted, the main points have been lost. Thus, it is important to put into perspective what actually happened regardless of the voting. The significance of this referendum is to show that the Student Association has lost touch with the feelings and mood of the undergraduate students on this campus. And how could it be any other way? The SA is usually run by white, middle class establishment type. Yet, the demographics of this campus show that there at least 50 percent local commuter students and a significant minority population. Why are they not represented in the policies of our student government? There are important groups on this campus seriously dedicated to changing the social and political systems we live under. Why are their voices not heard? The point of this whole mess is to show that SA is politically and culturally/ethnically out of touch with the very people they are supposed to represent. In many ways they have assumed many of the same bureaucratic and administrative characteristics as the University Administration they are at war with. And that is what this referendum is about. To make no bones about it, Michael Stephen Levinson, or Lev, is a nut. The self-styled prophet and occasional diplomat/sun of god, is off his rocker. Not only that, he is a capitalist at heart who in all of his seemingly radical proposals, always ends up being the middle man, getting a “small one or two percent cut of the take." If the referendum does pass making Lev the head of this new governmental structure, I would strongly recommend a weekly audit of the books, and a constant inspection of the conflict of interest laws, as he tries to sell his book. However, the point is that the SA has used Lev as a scapegoat to obscure the real meaning of this referendum. It is amazing that when threatened .they react with the same conservative administrative tactics as the University Administration. The nerve of Dennis Delia, claiming that the new proposal is “clearly illegal because it violates mandatory fee guidelines by not having an elected body administer the fee.” Does he think everyone is a fool? Nowhere in the mandatory fee guidelines does it say anything about requiring an elected student body. All it requires is that the fee be distributed by a “representative student organization.” The Student-Wide Judiciary saw right through this scare tactic and voted to hold the referendum. For those of you who attended David Frye, you saw a clear example 6f the manner in which the SA conducts itselves. Before the show, the head of the Speakers Bureau asked the audience to vote no on the referendum, caliming I found her it might mean an end to next year s events. scare but you ..quote want to comment “we don’t are the they only ones believe that actually Do they ironic. on this campus that can run speakers events, and that under another system we would have nothing. It is this currently very same elitist, petty bureaucratic attitude the SA structure that this running rampant in to correct. was trying referendum The point is this: to get ourselves together as students and members of this University community, some serious changes are going to have to be implemented if we are going to have a say in the way this campus, and in the long run, this country, is governed. The government in action class is one alternative to what has clearly proven to be a failure. While there are many faults with the proposal, it is an attempt at change, and that is what is important. In all probability the referendum will fail, for most of the undergraduate students have become so alienated from their student government, and the small minority of hacks who decide the SA elections will probably be the only ones who care enough about their positions to vote in this issue. Regardless, a real change is needed if we are to get ourselves out of the sea of mediocrity we seem to have not for Lev but to fallen into. 1 urge you to vote yes breathe some new life into the four air surrounding the second floor of Norton Hall. — - — — Marty Schwartz is a ContributingEditor of The Spectrum.

There isn’t an innovative bone in Dr. Spitsberg’s whole body which is why he was hired in the first place one week and tenured to Dean the disordered colleges the in the next Colleges whose conception had been besmirched by the revolution. At that time (’73) Academic Supervision was non-existent or simply out of focus with the rest of the university and the college’s over all reputation stunk. Regular departments wouldn’t allow elective credit or cross registration, etc. Spitzberg’s job as Dean was to disengage from the teaching experience at SUNYAB people like Michael Stephen Levinson who had without academic credentials gained through Sarah Computor a foothold in the — — — university. For those students who want to know whether Michael Stephen Levinson, the authored petition to make the student govt, for course credit instead of money can teach the course the answer is yes if those who sign up for the course want him to . . . maybe. Credit in the student’s govt, for course credit is given where credit is DUE. The reason the SA has never been able to establish themselves as a credit bearing course is they have never been able to describe what it is that they do that is credible and to have a course the requirement is a course description. They are incapable of writing a course description. Credit is given for original research into previous student their policies etc., in order to deturmine the whereabouts of six million dollars in a seven year period. Class goal: our history in Book form: The Next Generation of Haldemans and Erlichmens share in the prophets of millions in sales with Lev him write you research.

The four hundred students in The Govt, for Course Credit can deturmine upon examination of Dr. Ketter’s Academic Plan as it appeared for The University in The Reporter Sept 1975, that Dr. Ketter’s plan is non legible and upon dismantling Dr Ketter’s Plan deturmine that it is not feasable for this university and that the bureaucrats in Albany might have made the same deturmination based on the faulty academic plan and the students could formally withdraw their support from Dr. Ketter in his role as President of The Universicy. The students in a government for course credit could deturmine that the President hired in the midst of the revolution at SUNYAB has fulfilled his mission as president of the university times have changed and its time for a change. On the other hand Dr Ketter the President of the University can very simply pick up the phone and plug the Govt, for Course Credit into Sarah Computor and let the Govt, be credit bearing as it reforms itself into something credible. A government for course credit can form a banking committee and in two years time make our own bank; The Student’s Savings and Loan. Credit for such a course is not going to be denied anyone. The undergrad who joins the banking committee in The Govt, for Course Credit could be the Director of a bank before hes twenty and skip graduate school. Whatever it is that govt, does you can do I mean good things if you cut out the pork barrel at Jew Be The Temple on the Hill. The Leverendum (a yes vote) is going to save the Undergraduate Student Association between one and two hundred thousand dollars the first year. .The SA office Page twenty-two The Spectrum . Wednesday, 11 May 1977 . - budget alone is more than seventy thousand dollars, travel lines, etc. That is your public activities fee that ends up for everything except your activities. Mandatory attendance. Readings in Thomas Jefferson and the State’s Guidelines comparisons of same-log book of experience CREDIT. Vote yourself a government for - course credit. If you do Michael Stephen Levinson and the administrators of the university will make it happen for you. If you dont vote for it you wont get it. Nor will you ever be able to hear or find out who or what Michael Stephen Levinson was about. They keep focusing on him the so-called ex fruit vendor. What they dont tell you is that he wrote a book on the premises of this university that foretold every major political event in America since 1970. You never heard the Story of Adman and Even? Never heard of The Book of Lev. Why do they call him a “self-styled” prohpet? Does any other campus have such an animal. Is it a noble effort to say a spoken poem for three ahd a half billion people to see listen to and be a part of all at once (via the AT&T). Is it worth a noble prize. Is three dimensional television for teaching in the public schools better than bussing? Could this place become The COLAB the Center of Learning at Buffalo Where People Collaborate. Is the world ready for a Center of Learning. Are the undergrads ready to prepare a govt, for it? Do we want a world wide supermarket, Bank, 17 story cilindrical hotel out in Amherst that we own and operate cooperatively for the benefit and replenishment of the University or does the place sink like the titanic. If it sinks than whoever you are your work here will have been for nothing. Vote yes and give yourself a chance. A girl wrote in Monday’s paper that you should vote against the Leverendum. That I was deceiving you in the withholding of ideas and information. I spent an hour one day talking with her and a friend explaining-answering questions they let her join the Senate through some task force and now she endorces their point of view. Who should control the activities fee? Yourself or Jeff Lessoff. — A full structural analysis would explain how The Spectrum is going to be rejuvinated; and the student’s corporation. Sub Board. This is not that analysis. The Comptroller’s Course 8 hours Independent Study for three undergrads and three grads in Business Management will replace smart fart abscond and the bull shit executive director in the corporation and save the students twenty thousand dollars a year.

To the Editor. by It is becoming increasingly obviou,s to this individual that the University Police is neither in touch with the means of effectively dealing with those in need of help nor in tune with the ends which our University community seek. Today, May 8, a woman was apprehended for attempting to break into Acheson Hall. I made the call to the University Police after speaking with the woman. At that time I thought it was in the best interests of all concerned that she be restrained from doing damage both to herself and to University property. After signing a deposition, I was assured 1 feel I must condemn the selection process of next year’s chairperson for. the UUAB Video Committee (ACT V). Over the past 13 months, technical services director Jeff Schier, myself, and other committee members have built the Video Committee into a vital and thriving media services organization. We realize all the strengths and weaknesses of the committee and we know what it requires to successfully run an organization of its type. Yet, our input into the selection process was not asked for, and when given, was totally ignored. 1 believe the major share of responsibility for this situation falls upon the shoulders of division director Jim Brickwedde. I wonder what criteria could have been used, since the person chosen has no knowledge or nor skills with television production, video, or media services. 1 believe this choice to be unwise and perhaps even despotic. It is also dangerous. The Video Committee now has the potential to be a real campus television facility controlled by student input. But it never will, be with someone totally unskilled directing it. I would suggest that the selection process be redone, this time with input from present committee members (neither the person chosen nor anyone on the selection committee were Video Committee members nor were they familiar with its programs and facilities). If no one is qualified (which I doubt) then a temporary chairperson should be appointed until someone suitable is found. I am graduating from U.B. in a few weeks and won’t be here to witness the outcome. However, I would hate to see something that so many worked so hard to build be so easily destroyed. both University Police that Psychiatric Dr. Musselman, called in from the Health Services and by the University the woman would be taken to the Meyer Center for. observation. Instead the woman was taken to the Buffalo, Police where she was summarily arrested. At last check she was still being held in prison. ' This is a woman who is clearly in need of help; a woman who is frightened and who needs understanding and compassion; not the atmosphere that a prison cell provides. I blew it!! I called University Police. I should have known better! Arthur-Schwartz Once more for the KMT . To the Editor Since submission of the article, “Taiwan: Human Rights Being Violated” {The Spectrum, May 4, 1977), we have been able to. update with additional information in regard to the fate of the political prisoners who had been arrested without formal charge by the Kqomintang (KMT) government during last summer. The secret arrests were accounted to the three independent sources, namely the Ear East Economic Review, the Sin Tao Jih Pao, and Amnesty International, Osaka, Japan. It was later confirmed by a source close to the KMT government, Chung (Jang Jih Pao, that 19 persons including Chen Ming-chung were arrested. Between November 23 and 29, various spontaneous protests and demonstrations were initiated in several cities to the KMT consulates in the States after participants had obtained the absolutely reliable report from London Amnesty International saying Chen Ming-chung. sentenced to death ca November 10, and requesting urgent appeal to the KMT government staying execution. On November 26, a KMT consulate official in New York City denounced the execution of Chen Steven R. Keeler Steven Keeler has worked with the UUAB Video Committee for three years and has been its chairperson for the past thirteen months. Ming-chung, but, in the first time, admitted Chen’s and many others’ arrests which had yet to be tried. According to the Chung Yang Jih Pao, 13 of the recent arrested had been tried and sentenced on November 27 as follows: 1. Chen Ming-chung and Chen Chin-hub each 15 years in prison; 2. Tsai Yi-chung and Huang Nai-hsin each 10 years in prison; 3. Lee Tse-lin 8 years in prison; 4. Liu Jian-shao and Lin Yen-huei each 7 years in prison; 5. Nina Huang 3 years in rehabilitation; all for possessing and reading books from mainland China and therefore attempting to propagate communism, and 6; 5 others were unable to be sentenced for lack of chargeable “evidence.” While updating with the above information, we strongly protest the recent secret arrest of many others on undisclosed alleged political “crimes.” Such actions are flagrant violation of the political freedom and other basic human rights of the people in Taiwan. charged China Study Group GSA Guest Opinion by Pat Lovejoy Let me address the undergraduate student body both as a concerned undergraduate feepayer and as a member of the Student Association Executive Committee. As a feepayer, I have an opinion on how student government should be run; as an Executive Committee member I have knowledge on how SA is run. 1 would like to preface by statement by saying I am not afraid of losing my job, my power, or whatever else I I could live very well without the headaches. have Although previous letters in this column attacked SA President Dennis Delia and Vice President for Sub Board Jeff Lessoff specifically on this account, when you speak of them you are also speaking of me, (and Andy, Paul, Elsie, Peter, Abed and Eddie). We work as a team that is the only effective mode of operation. The question of the occurances of the past few weeks is no moot. The referendum is being held. The course of events that led up to this referendum is now irrelevant. What we must now consider is the referendum question. The theory of receiving credits rather than a stipend for working in S.A. is good. The theory of involving more students in decision-making is good. The methods of implementing these theories that we are being asked to vote upon are of questionable merit, however. Remember that you are only voting on what is written on the ballot any particulars about implementation that are being circulated, either verbally or through the media, are tentative and could be drastically changed after the vote. (This is not to say with any certainty that they will be changed, but tne possibility is there.) The referendum is not even asking for your approval of these proposals in theory, when you come right down to it. Let me enumerate my observations about the “Constitution by Substitution” that is before us today and tomorrow. I. The referendum does not provide for who is going to develop the course and see that it is implemented. This could very well be done by one person. This could very well be done by Michael Levinson a non-student who has no right to do such things. Or it could be done by a group of students. But who’s to say? If the referendum is passed there most likely will be no official body to see that it gets done at all. 2. The refer ndum does not specify a date that it will into effect. It does not specify a date that a course must go be established by. It does not provide an alternative if it is — — — — found impossible to form such a course. Is S.A. in its present form abolished immediately or does it continue to operate until the course begins? Both interpretations are possible the way the document is written. What should we ask the “framer of the Constitution?” He’s Michael do Levinson a non-student who has no right to tell the undergraduates of SUNY/B how to run their government. 3. The referendum does not provide for the legal disbursement of mandatory student activities fees. This is where the question of dates is most important. If the present system is abolished immediately upom passage of the referendum, there will be no system recognized (by the University) to develop an annual budget. The annual budget for next year will not yet be approved both by the Financial Assembly and the President of the University. It is not possible to have a course in Government in Action begin until next spring (the deadline for course approval for Fall 1977 courses has passed). Mandatory fee guidlines require the annual budget be finalized and approved before the commencement of the regular academic year. How does this proposal account for meeting this deadline? It doesn’t. Therefore, students will pay activities fees for 1977-78 that cannot be used until 1978-79. 1 won’t even be here then. I don’t want to pay fees if I cannot possibly get one cent worth of activities or services in return. Do you? If the present system is abolished immediately upon passage of the referendum there is no provision for disbursement of fees from now until the course is developed. This would make S.A. and the Administration liable for many lawsuits. Would you want to wait until January 1978 or maybe September 1978 to be paid? As it is, if the referendum is passed, the students working the voting booths today and tomorrow may have to wait that long to get paid. I’m glad I am not working the voting booths. But, maybe Student Association will continue to operate until the course begins. That only delays the question one year. Mandatory fee guidelines call for disbursement of fees by a recognized student government through an approved disbursing agent (our disbursing agent is and would still be Sub Board I, Inc.; the referendum does not call for its abolishment). Neither the President nor the SUNY Board of Trustees will recognize a course under the Division of Undergraduate Hducation as a student government. If you doubt this, call them and ask. The President’s number is in the Student Directory and S.A. can help you call the Trustees. — — So the course that has been hailed as a way you can have a voice in dividing up $800,000.00 will never become a reality in that sense. An academic course (or the students in it) cannot possibly perform this function. I maintain that although the theory is good, the referendum is not a suitable proposal for its implementation. Until a reasonable, well-thought-out and researched proposal comes forth from a member or members of the registered, day-time, undergraduate, 67-dollar paying student body, the present system should remain. ■ One last point: the theory of credit instead of stipends has its drawbacks too. Personally, the $.46 an hour that I receive from Studertt Association enables me to get by without an outside job. If 1 had another job 1 would spend less time working for SA and my SA duties would not be carried out as well as they are now (although there is much room for improvement as far as activities go I’m open to suggestions). If I was only getting four credits a semester for working in SA as a part of a large class, I would treat it as any other class. 1 would not put a lot of may free time into it, and 1 doubt many other students would either you know, four credit hours for four contact hours. It is difficult for one person to coordinate all the clubs and activities I cannot see how all the activities and services and clubs and organizations could be well-coordinated in a classroom situation. If, however, there was a similar structure to the present one, and 1 was given 12 or 16 credits a semester to do what I do now, in an independent study situation, the job would be done even better. 1 would not have to spend my mornings in .classes. 1 could be up in the SA office planning activities. This would give me the afternoons to talk with students, get suggestions, and learn how to improve SA, its activities and its services. Doesn’t that sound like a better plan? Until this type of program is developed, and we have been working on it for a long time, let SA continue as it is. Vote NO on the referendum. And in the meantime, come up and tell me how I can.better serve you. Because 1 get $500.00 a year ($.46 an hour) and $300.00 a summer ($.50 an hour) from your fees and also because you elected me into this office, you have a right to input. If your suggestion is feasible. I’ll do it. If it’s not, we’ll discuss it and see if you can get what you want and/or need another way. Our job is to serve you please let us. — - — — Ms. l.ovejoy is SA Director of Student Activities. Wednesday, 11 May 1977 . The Spectrum .

Coach Walter Gantz said of the feat, “I knew he would break the record; it was just a question of when and by how much. Mike has been Working real hard this season and has never, missed a workout. Today his efforts paid off.” by Jeff John Staff Writer Spectrum This University of Buffalo track club finished its dual meet season last Saturday at the special “Big Four Quadrangular Invitational” held at Buffalo State. The meet, held in lieu of the annual University of Buffalo Invitational, gave Niagara University the opportunity to avenge its loss to Buffalo a week earlier in the Big Four contest. The Bulls lost to Niagara 67-77 but easily handled State 93-47 and crushed Canisius 102-30. The scores earned the Bulls a final win-loss record of 6-5. Williams breaks record The other record came in the 120 yard high hurdles. Sophomore Larry Williams blasted out of the blocks and then seemed to sail effortlessly over ten flights of hurdles before crossing the finish line in the record breaking time of 15.1. Williams also scored in the 100 and 220 yard dashes as well as running a leg on the Bulls’ victorious 440 yard relay team. In the seventeen event schedule, the Bulls scored six wins, more than any other team present, and while doing so, two University of Buffalo school records were shattered. Not, only did the Bulls win the relay for the second consecutive time against the highly regarded Buffalo State team, but they ran their fastest of the season at 44.9. Forming the relay along with After coming tantatlizingly close on two previous attempts, sophomore Mike Fischer finally etched his name in the record books when he chopped five Williams were freshmen Bob Reiss and Barry Calder and senior Paul Kubicki. Kubicki is another Bull athlete who had a big afternoon Saturday. After helping Buffalo’win the relay, Kubicki came back to win the 100 and then the 220. Spectrum period. Led by freshman William Higgs who scored three of the four goals and some fine checking on behalf of the Buffalo defense, the Bulls were able to break the game wide open. Massaro, who had three assists in the game, scored the other goal in the spree. Staff Writer LOGIC?

In his affadavit asking for a Restraining Order, Temporary Delia said, “The major problem by David Malats Staff Writer Spectrum The “Leverendum” will put up with the referendum is that it does not properly fall within these guidelines (mandatory fee regulations), nor does it provide the kind of financial to a vote Wednesday and Thursday of this week. At a meeting last Thursday night, the Student-Wide Judiciary (SWJ) denied the Student Association’s (SA) motion for a injunction against permanent accountability necessary to comply therewith. The referendum as circulated is merely a preamble. It is not a Michael Steven Levinson’s make student credit-granting government a course. This is the first major setback for the new administration. SA President Dennis Deha expressed his disappointment at not being able to fully devote all his time to the financial assembly hearings on next year’s budget. Instead, he will present a forum on the referendum Monday in Haas to constitution.” William Martin, a second year law student at this University represented the defendant,. Gloria Gerber, former chairwoman of the and Credentials Election Committee whose job it was to put the referendum to a vote over the legality of the referendum but, Martin felt the question was not whether the constitutional procedure was complied with. Gerber testified that she felt the referendum was not accorded proper treatment under constitutional guarantees; When asked to recount the events leading to this hearing, she stressed that Delia had purposely delayed the referendum. “On March 30, I had validated the Lounge at 1 p.m. The opening statements by the parties counselors for both reflected the focal points of the issue. Richard Lippes, SA lawyer, argued that a clearly illegal referendum should not be brought to a votd and asked the SWJ to set a precedent for this mater. He said, “Students are being asked to vote on a course that does not exist.” Lippes also charged that the referendum does not comply ’ officially recognizing petition, that ten percent of the students had signed it. There were still a few pages left unchecked and Dennis told me to wait until after with the SUNY Board of Trustees the Guidelines for use of referendum could exist. She said that according to Dean of the Colleges Irving Spitzberg and History Professor Clark Murdock the course might be taught if there is sufficient student interest. When reached for comment later Gerber told The Spectrum that a the course would be complement to student government, not a substitute. When it was pointed out that the course described the in referendum was, in fact, a substitute, not a complement, she declined further comment. Associate Vice-President for Affairs, Anthony Student Lorenzetti, was Lippes’ first witness. He testified that it is conceivable for another form of student government to take over, though the referendum is unclear on this point. Before replacing the government, the student administration must know what constitutes the new government he said, adding that until an acceptable constitution arrives, there would be no allocation of mandatory fee monies. Another Lippes witness, Tom Van Nortwick, .Executive Director of Sub Board explained that the corporation would be in chaps without SA funding, because they contribute major share of Sub Board’s funding. He said this of the wipe could out corporation’s activity division, supplies the community with which University benificial services and programs. No pressure Martin’s witnesses were mostly people who had circulated or signed the petition. They all said that they were not pressured to sign the document. Delia commented after the decision, “Every action I took can be constitutionally justified. They were all on the advice of Lippes.” He added -that he acted with the full backing of the SA Executive Committee and was supported by the Student Senate. Gerber felt that “the odds were stacked against her.” SA was entitled to a professional lawyer, but this was not funded. She had to rely on Martin, a student, to do fhe work free of charge. Lev was ecstatic foolowing the court’s decision, and applauded the justices when the hearing was over. He intends to write a analysis structural of his government. “People will vote based on ray analysis,” he said, “i know more about Buffalo student government than anyone else on this earth.” ‘Theatrical America’ Course in 19th Century American theater history by Michelle Cohen Spectrum Staff Writer It is not uncommon for students to cluster around bright, inquisitive Professor Lewis C. Perry following one of his “Theatrical America” lectures. The course, a new one, will be offered for the second time this fall in the departments of History and Theater. Unique at this University, it will serve as a model to help other universities structure similar courses. Theatrical America delves into the history of theater and Century 19th sociology of America.

Innovative format “The study of theatre,” says “may crucial Perry, raise questions about national character and national experience, about popular values and social change, and about the split between elite culture and “low” culture, things which continue to have serious consequences for the humanities in America.” Readings include such plays as Metamora, which deals with aspects of the 19th Century American Indian, East Lynne, constructed on the themes of marriage and divorce, and Eugene O’Neill’s Long Day’s Journey into Night, a portrait of O’Neill’s own family. 18th Century Producing American plays requires an intimate understanding of that culture and time. Perry explained that 19th Century acting from a contemporary point of view is exaggerated, heavily stated, assists Perry with the acting and technical aspects. “Theatrical America” is funded by a demonstration grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Perry spent 1975-76 as a fellow at the Institute which is based at Yale University in New Haven. The Humanities Institute encourages student interest in many areas of the Humanities.

Lucia Beck �■'■'V ‘Buffalo Plan m-rmf ’ Law Deans discuss the future by Mike Buskus supporting their efforts. Faculty would themselves spend more time in collaborative efforts' to improve teaching and research, Spectrum Staff Writer The recently-drafted “Mission Statement” of the Law School here could signal long-range changes in the near future at that institution. In interviews with The Spectrum Law School Dean Thomas Headritk and several professors active the in administration articulated their persona] views and perspectives on the plan. The plan, which is still subject to approval by Academic Affairs Vice President Ronald Bunn, envisions substantial changes on both law school course offerings and style of instruction. When asked why the Law School was in need of added resources, Headrick responded that while a number of units of the Upiversity could make valid claims to increased funds, he believes the Law School “can make a claim to some increase in its resources simply because it has been underfunded in the past; because it is the only law school within the state system; because it has made a reasonable start in a fairly strong unique and interdisciplinary law school program; because it has provided some leadership in legal education all of those things point to an area of strength that the University would do well to nurture.” and all this should make this an even more interesting place than it already is.” Summing up the “Buffalo Plan,” Greiner concluded that the interchange of ideas between faculty members “ought to be seen as a regular function of this place for the next three to five years; that the way people will contribute to the attempt to develop something new and , — Rebuilding process Regarding whether he is confident of central administration approval, Headrick commented that the Law School “will get a series of preliminary indications of an intention to do these things and it will all be supportive in the long run.” Both a provisional commitment to delivery promised. Admitting that there are obstacles to be overcome in implementing the plan, the Dean remarked that the key problem is “continuity of faculty.” He added, “that’s why it’s so important to get some of these things up front settled: the tenure and promotion procedure. Then can have some reasonable assurance never going to have 100 percent assurance, but better than we have now that the working conditions the faculty will be the kind that wilt not only attract a good faculty but keep them here so that we can get some not,” he rerharked.” ■ Student reaction to the law school’s mission statement has been mixed. Many students are unaware of the plan and many others are unsure of its details. Student Bar Association Secretary, Andy Cosentino, has a favorable opinion. “1 think the trend lately has been definitely towards mediocrity and 1 think this [plan] would definitely arrest that trend and start moving towards improving the law school, and if this is perceived in the student body and the faculty and the administration simultaneously, then I think the atmosphere it’s created will attract a better reputation and a better student and faculty to the school. As we gain notice we’ll probably be in a better bargaining position within the state and the for University funds,” he concluded. Feedback expected Jeffrey Brown, a first year law student, declared that “I think it’s an excellent idea. We’re in dire need of smaller classes and more structural instruction as opposed to large classes.” Thomas Headrick David Alexander, a Student Bar Director, Association different will be as a minimum to suggested that “besides being a be open to regular discussion with good educational move, it’s a colleagues.” sound political move by the Dean to get from the State University Tough times system an allocation of more Associate Dean Wade funds.” Alexander optimistically Newhouse, indicating his approval added that “from the students up of the plan, stated that it “caught through the hierarchy up to the the spirit of plans started back in State, having people believe 1961-62. What it’s doing is something new and innovative and sharpening the focus . . . with a goal is going on here [will recognizing that if resources don’t result in making] everybody flow as freely as one would hope happier.” they’d flow when the planning The “Buffalo Plan’s” started, there may not be as much eventually fate Is unknown.

Newhouse added that he was Headrick indicated that he relatively optimistic of success for expects some definite feedback the plan. “We’re all in tough from Hayes Hall by the end of times. But if 1 were not this summer. the plan and actual of resources will be necessary, he said. Noting that the Law School is in the process of rebuilding a short-handed faculty, Headrick projected there will be no significant changes until the end erf 1978-1979. He suggested that it would take some time for new faculty to adjust to a new teaching environment. “There would be a substantial difference in the institution [by * 1981-1982] if we got the kind of support we are asking for,” he support optimistic. I’d be looking around to go somewhere else, and I’m (JUAB 0 "W Theatrical University, to establish collections of films and slides, and to pay additional teaching assistants. Although many universities are wary of innovative courses, SUNY many sponsors Buffalo experimental programs such as Perry’s. Uninhibited by restrictive the c.urricular requirements, course can take its own shape and proceed at its own speed. This summer. Perry will evaluate student response to the class to decide where change is needed. So far, he has found that • f A I WHO PROVIDES LOW-COST PRESCRIPTION DRUGS? —continued from page 1— ... more guidance is required to help papers, that students write additional reading groups could boost students’ interest, and that a format providing for more discussion might be worked out. Perry radiates enthusiasm as he describes his plans for “Theatrical America.” He hopes to avoid setting a rigidly cast mold. Instead, he wants to keep a spontaneity and flexibility needed to allow change. He states it simply: “All good courses should change.” The Spectrum is published Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the academic year and on Friday only The during the summer by Spectrum Student Periodical, Inc.

The Buffalo “Friends” began their support efforts last week with a bake sale in Squire Hall center lounge, while a few individuals with huge signs- asked for money outside. Of the estimated 2000 people who occupied the site under the name of the Clamshell Alliance, 1400 were peaceably arrested by policemen and state troopers and bussed off to local National Guard armories. Most of the protesters refused bail, set at $500 for out-of-state residents. Direct contact maintained Fifteen persons from Buffalo, including thirteen students and faculty members from this University, are among the 145 occupants of the Summersworth Armory, located in Summersworth, New Hampshire. As of Friday, four of those from Buffalo, Bill Burton, Charles Haynie, Mark Pettitt and Brian Webster, had been sentenced to 15 days and a $100 fine. Trials will be held for several others at the end of May. Those sentenced were convicted of criminal trespass, a Class A misdemeanor. Haynie, an instructor with Tolstoy College, called The Spectrum from the one phone inside the Armory and said that as many as 240 people had been held in custody by Summersworth police in a 70 by 100 foot area of the armory before preliminary hearing began on Tuesday. He also said that many of the protesters $100 fine that he had been received the same 15 days handed down. - Information Center One supporter at the table in the Center Lounge said that she and others have been maintaining direct contact with the arrested individuals, calling them every day at their-own expense. In contrast to the cheery scene aired on the eleven o’clock news of people being in the sun and tossing frisbees, supporters here have been told that “conditions are terrible, food is inadequate and no provision has been made for those who don’t eat meat.” In addition, some inmates have begun hunger strikes and nightly screaming vigils. The students at the center'lounge table said that so far, “We think student support has been very good,” in direct reference to the amount of money raised. They also felt that an increasing number of students were becoming aware of the situation. An information center, at telephone number 836-2991, has been set up to handle all matters concerning the release of those arrested from Buffalo. Another number to call connected with NYPIRG is 838-1184. Volunteers are needed to sit at the Center Lounge tables and collect money elsewhere. The following people from Buffalo were arrested and are now in the Summersworth Armory in New Hampshire: Teresa Beynart, Bill Burton, Gary Cutler, Gary Gleba, Charles Haynie, Kirsten Marshall, Alex Van Oss, Mark Pettitt, Beth Phillips, Paul Richmond, Charles Salamone, Hyman Selrochter, Lenny Skrill, Brian Webster and Sue Wendel. Brett Kline SA survey Sub Board ranks funding top priority Sub Board —. student corporation and athletics are funding among students, according to a survey by the Student Association (SA) Financial the — considered a priority for recently conducted Priorities Committee. However, service organizations like the Community Action Corps (CAC) were only moderately approved by students and reaction to small clubs and special interest groups was neutral or slightly negative. This year’s survey followed largely the same forihat as did the survey conducted in 1974-75. In order to obtain non-biased results and to determine where student priorites lie, a computer random sample of 2000 undergraduate students was chosen. Due to some problems, only 1800 questionnaires were actually sent out Of those, 43 percent were returned. According to the report, “No one person was involved in any two consecutive phases of this operation.” Thus, none of the tabulations were changed in any way, something which the Financial Assembly was accused of doing in the past. In interpreting the results the Assembly advised that groups most approved of should be strongly supported by allocating resources needed to fulfill their objectives. Those given moderate approval, the Assembly said, should receive an adequate amount of money and those which were not met with enthusiasm should be carefully scrutinized to ensure that they are being allocated funds to carry out only those objectives which the Assembly feels are valid. The results of the survey show a definite need for a change in the usual budget allotments. Dennis Delia said he is concerned that the survey report will be looked upon as a direct attack on small clubs, especially on the special interest groups which received the lowest possible student ratings. A needed role It is difficult for SA to continue to subsidize activities in which there is relatively little participation, according to Delia. The removal of some clubs, Delia said, would fly in the face of criticism from a majority of students who want more activities in general. Special interest groups have a reputation for being outspoken about their groups’ needs and validity. Members of the Financial Priorities Committee claimed “Regardless of the findings, these groups should receive some funding. We feel that the argument that they fulfill a needed role in the University is a valid one.” However, much controversy on this issue is expected. Barring any complications that might arise, the Financial Assembly committee will hold its first meeting in the Fillmore Room, Monday, at 4 p.m., and will continue to meet throughout the week. T. P.

GSA held over; continues today Fee referendum Due to a light turnout during the scheduled week of balloting, the GSA Mandatory Fee referendum will be extended until Friday, May 13th. “This will enable a larger and more representative vote.” according to GSA Student Affairs Vice President Mjchael Sartisky. 900 graduate students have voted, but in many To date, departments where the students seldom visit their offices, the voting was virtually non-exisfent. ■ » GSA leaders hope that the additional time will enable these people to get to their departments and vote. Additional efforts will be made in the next week to contact GSA Senators and Club Presidents to urge them to canvass their departments and turn out the vote. If it is deemed necessary, the GSA Executive Committee will call as many of the graduate students as possible. Perhaps the greatest problem which has been encountered in the is the geographic separation of The 80 Graduate Departments. This has made the distribution and collection of ballots extremely difficult. Added to- this problem is the fact that some departments, such as Speech Communications, are in transit between campuses as Ridge Lea is phased out, making them difficult to locate. referendum Many of the departments in the Faculty of Education, some of which number between two and three.hundred students, virtually never see their graduate students, who work during the day and often attend night classes. This Faculty accounts for almost 20 percent of the graduate student population. The referendum will decide the future of the GSA; should the mandatory collection of fees not be ratified, the organization will virtually cease to exist. “At a university where students too often find their rights and paid little heed by administrators and faculty,” Sartisky said, “it is crucial that students support an organization to represent those rights and needs. It took years for student governments to become established and accepted within the universities, even now student representation on committees is often only advisory, and always in insufficient numbers.” Sartisky said that while the GSA fights for greater representation on these committees, such as the presently seated Bunn Committee on TAs and GAs, “it would be ironic if the students themselves did not approve the collection of the very funds which'make such representation possible.” interests Sartisky explained the diffusion of departments and the lack of any centralizing contact between them makes the existence of the GSA “absolutely necessary.” Steve-Shanley, GSA External Affairs Vice President, said GSA is the only organization which provides contact between departments and which assures that the interests of all graduate students are represented. He added that elimination of the GSA will cause the utter isolation of graduate students within their individual departments and consequently will weaken the effectiveness of their opinions and concerns.” Regulations set on upkeep of dorm refrigerating units A proposal for student use of refrigerators in the dorms was drafted Thursday at a meeting of the Student Association (SA). HUB, and representatives from the University administration. The proposal was a compromise move by the students to allow the continued use of large size units by residents. The set of rules presented to the committee by Director of Student Affairs Paui Glauber contained the provisions that no unit using the refrigerants sulfur dioxide or ammonia will be permitted. This type of cooling system was discontinued almost twenty five years ago, but some units using these chemicals are still available. The danger of the use ot these refrigerants was evidenced when Clement Hall was evacuated due to leakage of poisonous gas from these old units. The second provision deals with the inspection, registration, and transportation of refrigerators to be Vised in the dorms. All refrigerators must be inspected before they can be brought into the residence halls. The inspection will be done in conjunction with SA, IRC, and Environmental Health and Safety (EHS). Inspections will follow the guidelines set by Robert Hunt, EHS Director. Checklist These guidelines include checking for vermin infestation. Insects are often found in the compressor housing, and fumigation of each unit will also be required. Electrical wiring will be checked, and electrical cords should be pliable and have no cracks. Plugs and cord insulation will also be inspected for problems. All temperature control knobs, dials Of switches must be present and functional. Ammonia and sulfur dioxide cooling systems will not be passed, and door gaskets will be checked for effective seals. This eliminates condensation and minimizes running time thus saving energy. Of course, all units will be checked for cleanliness. Brad Koshar of IRCB questioned who will make the inspections. If members of student organizations check the units they might be inclined to let by friends, he fears. Koshar suggested that members of HHS perform the task. Len Snyder, Assistant Vice President for Housing, stated that EHS has neither the time nor manpower to do it and suggested instead that he would look into the possibility of trained EHS Resident Advisors doing the inspection. Along with the RA’s would be IRC' representatives. SA would assist in spraying, registering and engraving of the units. Moving Refrigerators must be moved through specific corridors and pathways. These routes will be looked into by Richard Cudek, Director of Housing Custodial Services, and reported to the committee next week. Inspection stations will be present on all three campuses, with extensive hours being set up the first three days pf checkin. At. each station will be equipment dollies to be used exclusively for refrigerator moving. These dollies will be loaned out for a fee of about fifty cents to cover their rental. All units larger than 3.0 cu. ft. must be transported on these dollies. In addition all units must be moved with padded covers to protect against damage: to walls and elevators. Any student who fails to have his/her refrigerator inspected will have that unit confiscated by maintenance at a cost to-the individual. The unit will only be returned after an inspection has been made. The use of RA’s as inspectors facilitates matters, because all a student will have to do is report to their RA the purchase of a unit and will livable to have that unit inspected immediately. Students must remove and dispose of theirs refrigerators at the end of the school year. Those who do not will be charged thirty dollars for maintenance to do so. Although some of these rules might prove an to dorm students, IRC and SA officials stressed that they were needed to insure the safety and continued use qf refrigerators in residence inconvenience halls.

Apparently, referring to WYSL’s Mr. Sound-Off Spots, Liggett replied, “1 like what they’re doing at that station.” Minus the hype and volume of those editorials Liggett would like to have short, one to three minute broadcasts aired service throughout the day on WBUF. When asked about any perceivable differences as to music broadcasting currently heard on “The Brady replied, current BUF format is the same now as it was 9 months to a year WBUF, that the staff is more closely now.” The addition of the “Weekend Feature Artist” and various giveaway contests are Brady’s ideas; he intimated that the future buyer .Liggett had nothing to do with them. Brady said he is looking for listener input as to these additions to programming. Presently, Liggett sees the staff as being “not very organized but very dedicated.” He plans to keep the present staff at BUF with the ago except following it possible exception of new bbreed of broadcasters with new approaches, he hopes that he can find a place within the station for someone who has been with WBUF as long as Spavento.

Page five �Exams on the Sabhath To the Editor: Vote no The severe weather this winter has made the University schedule finals on a Jewish holiday, Shavuos, the holiday celebrating the giving of the Torah (Five Books of Moses)., This holiday comes out on Monday, May 23 and Tuesday, May 24 which is in the middle of finals week. The University also continues to give finals on Saturday, our Sabbath. (This has forced me to take my two finals at a different time.) Would the University have the chutzpa (absurdity) to give exams on Sunday? 1 guess .not so that my fellow non-Jewish students won’t miss praying, or hearing the choir at the church or even just taking their day of rest. The University probably does not realife that Jews have a day of rest on Saturday. I can not imagine that they would do something like this on purpose!?! Now to the most important issue. Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year) and Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement and Holiest Day of the Year). They are still several months away and the University has plenty of time to decide on including these days as holidays in our school calendar so' that Jewish students won’t have to miss classes 3 days i because of their religious beliefs. They can thereby relax and pray on their holidays the same way everyone prays on their holidays not having to worry about, class time missed. If the school remains open those days it pressures students to attend classes against their religious beliefs because they feel they cannot miss the work. More important, no amount of make-up notes is equal to attending class. Some instructors may find the make-up requirement a nuisance and will want to put as little effort as possible into giving make-up work. How many and how willing are teachers to arrange for students to get make-up labs? How many teachers will hold a grudge? Probably not many, but one is enough, to warrant serious (not nominal) consideration as well as action by the administration. The only action being that of avoiding an extremely possible and already existing situation. There is no other solution but the cancellation of classes on these days. The point of all of this, is that we are living in the United States where there is suppose to be freedom of religion. When will the State University of New York at Buffalo grant students this right? It has already been granted at the other three SUNY centers (Stony Brook, Albany, Binghamton) and over 4 Congressmen, 10 State Senators and 20 Assemblymen so far have expressed support and additional letters of support in the future are To the Editor. * (JUAB requests that all students support the by present form of Student Association government Monday, on be held voting NO on the referendum to Hall. and Tuesday, May 9 and 10, 1977 in Norton Inc., I, Although UUAB is a Division of Sub-Board from the majority of the funding is received The Student Wide Judiciary has ruled that the student government for course credit issue should be brought up for referendum. Now we must use this opportunity to defeat it. For the past month or more, I have listened to Mifchael Stephen Levinson yell and scream at anyone who dares to question either his ideas or his motives for wanting to replace the present SA with his alleged course. I am getting sick of Mr. Levinson and his speeches on why SA should be dissolved. But, above all I am sick of his lies. Levinson has promised the student body a full and complete course description of what will replace the present SA if this referendum passes. This was stated in more than one of his editorials in The Spectrum. Levinson told me this description would appear in The Spectrum immediately after Easter vacation. Will this information appear in The Spectrum the day we are supposed to vote on the issue? Or, does Mr. Levinson think people should not see what they may vote for as an alternative to the present SA? I don’t understand this.

The change was abrupt. Now the strongest doubts have arisen commercial doubts, not environmental or military doubts. The cycle is too expensive, it is believed. Experts who say this are not against nuclear power; they think nuclear power is here to stay. There are about 400 so-called thermal reactors actually operating, or building, in the world today. But the fast breeder reactor, turning uranium U238 into plutonium is a doubtful economic bet;’ it is enormously expensive to build and its electricity can’t compete with electricity from other power TRB - Intramural foul play . To the Editor I am writing this letter concerning this year’s past intramural program (basketball) at U.B., which was inadequate and showed favoritism towards a specific team. The intramural establishment took away all the fun of intramural basketball with this absurdity. The establishment gave partiality towards one team, which I will keep anonymous at the present time. This team was also given a lighter schedule than the other teams to their obvious advantage. Despite these discriminations and injustices, the Boss Players still prevailed to eventually conquer the U.B. intramural championship. The Intramural Department of the State University of New York at Buffalo, failed to inform the Boss Players in adequate time of a Western New York Schlitz Malt Liquor Intramural Basketball Tournament of Champions at Brockport State College. A letter was sent to U.S.’s Intramural Director on March 7, of a tournament on April 23rd. We, the Boss Players, were notified on April 18th, of the tournament. We had no time to organize practices or rides. Is this justice or what? Most of the other schools that participated in the tournament were given adequate transportation by their respective schools. But not U.B. The players were forced to supply their own means of transportation to the tournament. Only five players made it to the game. Our teams consisted of about eleven players and this was not a true representation of our squad or our school. Is this how the intramural program here should be run, with this “foul play?” M. K. Bridges N. Jones Mr. Tan replies . . . The United States was right, France and England wrong, when America refused to go ahead with the supersonic marvel of the age, the Concorde. Sure the Concorde is swift, but it has disagreeable environmental faults and worse, from a commercial viewpoint, it has an inadequate payload. Some still aren’t convinced, but most American engineers are delighted wed popped it. Now today, in the same way, we think President Carter is right, most of Europe wrong, in his rejection of the so-called fast-breeder reactor. This is enormously more important than the Concorde. Theoretically the reactor could dpen the way to limitless energy in a fuel-starved world. It is so complicated that it is almost impossible to comprehend but, on paper at least, the process is a kind of perpetual motion energy machine: it bums up a type of waste-product nuclear fuel and in the act produces more fuel than it burns up. Who could ask for more? World leaders are like little boys at Christmas: visions of sugarplums dance through their heads. The problem is that what is technically feasible may not be commercially valuable. So we have this extraordinarily dramatic 1977 confrontation: Mr. Carter, a nuclear engineer, has just shelved or scrapped proposed American breeder reactors costing billions with more billions scheduled, while France, West Germany, and half a dozen other European countries are scrambling to amass billions to build them and, more than that, to export them, and know-how, to less technically advanced countries so that they can have an independent, limitless supply of energy. West Germany is doing that for Brazil; France for Pakistan. President Carter is at the summit conference in Europe trying to explain his seemingly outrageous views to the leaders of the Western alliance and Japan. They are reportedly distrustful and angry. He has one advantage; he is an Annapolis nuclear engineer and served once on a nuclear submarine; he can understand the complex lingo without an interpreter. To the Editor: In view of the many misinterpretations made of a published letter of mine by ‘A Chinese Student in U.B.’ The Spectrum, May 4, 1977), warrant me making the following clarifications. Firstly, the good intent of the letter (The Spectrum, April 29, 1977) was solely to bring Dr. Joseph Williams’ attention to the current trend of development of the U.S.-China relations. Therefore, it was purely informational and not, by itself, political. Secondly, the letter was simultaneously published so that all concerned members of this University community, who have been strongly favoring the respectful spirit of the Shanghai Communique, could be informed of such an intent that has been actually conveyed to Dr. Williams, who as a university foreign student and scholar consultant, should be in the first place aware of such a recent development of the international affairs that the continued KMT surveillance and intimidation activities should not be tolerated on this campus. Thirdly, the letter was signed on behalf of the China Study Group-GSA by me as a chairman, as well as an active member of the listed groups of which, to the best of my knowledge, a great majority of the constituency has to date achieved to such a high level of understanding of the international affairs that in fact surmounts the level of recent development of the U.S.-China relations. It therefore merely reflected'’an advanced understanding of such a situation on behalf of the abovesaid constituents. Lastly, I hope that the above clarifications will suffice justifying most, if not all, of the This is pretty dramatic, but there is another, darker, more dangerous side to it. Most Americans are still probably foggy about it; it is almost certain that many of the peaceful protestors at Seabrook, N.H. (the delightfully named “Clamshell Alliance”) don’t understand it. There are two kinds of nuclear reactors. One kind uses enriched uranium for fuel and is reasonable disassociated from weaponry; it is conventional and housebroken. The other kind is used in the breeder reactors and takes plutonium, a man-made product that is probably the most toxic stuff on earth a driblet will kill you, and 10 pounds in a bomb will blow up Chicago. A nation that builds or buys a breeder reactor that will produce plutonium from enriched uranium (U238) is - on its way to making nuclear weopons. The President is doing what he can to stop it. the as recently as Nixon A few years ago — sources. Some of the idealistic protestors at Seabroqk, N.H. and elsewhere make no distinction, it appears, in denouncing nuclear reactors; they are against all kinds, and the nuclear age, too, apparently. I am afraid they are too late. Australian nuclear physicist Stuart Butler, who received a prize from the American Physical Society here last week, agrees with President Carter, The fast breeder reactor, he tells me, is “at a critical point in its development. The industrialized nations are poised, but not yet committed, to embark on a massive commercial development program.” He’s against it; he thinks Jimmy Carter can still head them off. With two colleagues he has written a popular-style book, widely influential in Australia, that may soon be re-printed here: “Uranium on Trial.” “We are totality opposed to the introduction of breeder reactors for power production at this stage,” it says. Wait a bit, the authors wage: maybe this monster plutonium will be harnessed in time and put to the plough, but-Pot yet: the thermal reactors, they say, “is the only type of reactor that we believe is suitable for use in the world today.” If the layman is still groping for confirmation, and searching for some other authority in this nightmare world, he will find Professor Butler’s verdict from Australia confirmed almost word-for-word by the Ford Foundation’s newly published study, “Nuclear Power Issues and Choices” (Ballinger paperback). The study is by a 21-member blue ribbon panel. It urges delay in plutonium breeders for urgent reasons of safety and economics. True, the study agrees, other countries are pursuing such breeders France, West Germany, the United Kingdom, Japan and the Soviet Union. Some are having success. But, says the report, “being first with a technological development program does not always mean success in economic or other terms since technical success must be matched to real needs. The supersonic transport provides a contemporary example.” Yes, the Concorde. My hunch is that whatever President Carter and supporters try to do, the fight to prevent nuclear proliferation has been lost. Enrico Fermi in Chicago in 1942 produced the first chain reaction, and 35 years later we face,a prospect so blood-curdling that we prefer not to notice it. Bomb power is spreading. Last week there were these stories; two hundred tons of uranium oxide were diverted nine years ago in a vessel and nobody knows where they went was it Israel? South Africa may be developing nuclear weapons at a secret hideaway. The General Accounting Office tells Congress that commercial nuclear facilities can’t-account for “thousands of pounds” of highly enriched plutonium and uranium. Delegates of 60 nations at Salzburg hear that 102 nations have now accepted the Non-proliferation Treaty; fine, except that some 50 nations haven’t, including France, Argentina and Brazil. Defense Secretary Harold Brown smilingly told me the other day that no one Princeton undergraduate could make a bomb; but 100 undergraduates, with access to fissionable material, very possibly could. - — misunderstandings which have been unfortunately conceived by the anonymous Chinese student here at U.B.

He sought help from the Union, UUP, and specific case, which to me demonstrates an injustice, instituted Step 1 of the grievance procedure. He was a mockery of proper due process, and a disrespect led to believe Step 1 was merely perfunctory and it for the professional record and career of a professor. was waived.

The Spectrum . Monday, 9 May 1977 m �Discrimination Editor's Note Statistics reveal hiring bias against Puerto Ricans here The special section of The Spectrum that begins on this page is comprised of submissions from minority students. These articles are being published to facilitate dialogues and understanding between minority and white students at this University. While this section is primarily written by Puerto Rican students, we would like to encourage for future issues contributions from black, Native American and Asian students. The rationale behind this section are two. First, we hope to work toward the goal of ensuring regular minority participation to make The Spectrum more representative of the student bod. Second, we wish to bring attention, if only indirectly, to the problems of race and racism at this University. These articles are offered as a small step toward improving relations between white and minority students here. The New York State Commission on Civil has repprted a hiring bias against Puerto Ricans and other Latins in the overall SUNY system. Although Acting SUNY Chancellor James F. Kelly denied the findings regarding the situation at SUNY Buffalo, the commission’s statistics reveal Rights discrimination. Puerto Ricans find college a hard goal by Tamara Ferrer Higher education is becoming increasingly unattainable for Puerto Ricans living in New York City. The first stumbling block in the way of a college education for Puerto Ricans is tuition fee of hundreds of dollars; an amount that Puerto Rican families are realistically pay unable to considering the present economic situation. The average Puerto Rican family, in fact, can only contribute some $625 towards the total college education of a child, according to a 1974-75 national study by conducted the Educational Testing Service. Lack of information about financial aid programs is another City barrier, educational University of New York (CUNY) officials recently announced. This, they indicate, is due to a decrease in high school counselors, many of whom have been assigned to other duties or have been fired by the Board of Education. Student motivation to go to cpllege has also been affected by dwindling job market, the particularly for minority groups. As the Directs of the Office of Admissions and Services for CUNY, recently stated, “They see that their brothers and sisters who have degrees can’t \get jobs, so why should they bother?” Higher than average As a result, CUNY has experienced an overall population decrease of 50,000 students. An —continued on page IQ— In 1974, of a total of 3,967 jobs, there were 13 Hispanic males and 6 females for a total of 0.48 percent Hispanics at SUNYAB. In 1975, of a total 5,448 jobs, there were 18 Hispanics males and 13 females for a 0.57 percent participation by Hispanics. In 1976, of a total of 6,979 jobs, Hispanic males had 17 and Hispanic females 14 for a total participation of 0.46. There are no available figures prior to 1974, but the pattern is clear. Of an additional 1,481 jobs at the University in 1975, Hispanics got only 12. In 1976, of an additional 1,231 jobs on campus, Hispanics got none. Puerto Rican Studies Support for Puerto Studies, Rican financial aid, graduate student undergraduate assistantships, and undergraduate student activities reveals a pattern of systematic reductions by at least 70 percent from an original commitment to Puerto Ricans. Puerto Rican Studies and Research Center offers students a program of interdisciplinary study leading to either an undergraduate or graduate degree in American Studies under the Faculty of Arts and Letters. As an integral part of the Puerto Rican Studies and Research Center, this University has an extension program in San Juan, affiliated to the Institute de Cultura Ifuprtorriquena. Puerto Rican Studies is conceived as a strategy for the survival of Puerto Rican students at the university and Puerto Rican cultural consciousness in the world. Conventional approaches to the Puerto Rican historical process have led to middle-class domination, with the resulting deformations in the Pedro Albizu Campos (1891—1964) earned Doctor of Law and Doctor of Philosophy degrees and was an engineer. A graduate from Harvard and Vermont, he was Puerto Rico's greatest leader in it's fight for national independence. interpretations of the Puerto Rican experience. Contemporary Puerto Rican culture is viewed from the, perspective of emerging forms (bilingualism, biculturalism, the mainland U.S. experience) and the historical attempt by the Puerto Rican people to achieve an individualized national personality free from interdictions. As a communication workshop the program has been set up to create viable alternative forms of analysis and expression. Education is attractive as a new tool for survival The main attraction for Puerto Rican students achieving a higher education is the strong possibility for attainment of a new and different survival tool. “We would rather be here than on the unemployment line,” one student said. As far as first, second, and third generation Latinos are concerned, college has been an unaffordable luxury for the privileged few. Wfthin the last ten years it has become an assumption that education is the right of every human being. This resulted from mass marches and student militancy of the sixties and early seventies. All the activity, on behalf of human rights (both violent and non-violent) proved that the United States’ most powerful institutions were racist vehicles used to oppress minorities economically, educationally and culturally. Numerable types of “social reform” programs were developed to alleviate, but not correct, the problems faced by minorities in this country. Politicians were into allocating monies the development for of educational programs aimed at increasing the enrollment of blacks and Puerto Ricans in universities. According to an article published by The Reporter April 28th, entitled, “College-Going Rate is Level,” data supplied by the census bureau indicates only the number of students enrolled but not the acceptance figures.

Survival at the University The problems faced by Puerto Ricans attending a university for the first time are not much different than those of any other freshmen. But who is better capable Of surviving within a university system? The majority of white students went to high schools in “good neighborhoods,” live in comparatively stable homes while only a few are “culturally deprived” people, but only to the extent that we are born in this country only to be deprived by the educational system of our language. This process only serves to alienate and contuse the Puerto Rican people. Alienation To add to the alienation of Puerto Rican students we are thrown into a university system that does not respect cultural-communication differences. Universities have tended to perpetuate ignorance misunderstanding by and neglecting to acknowledge or provide adequate cross-cultural College courses. educational administrators, professors and supposedly progressive university student organizations refuse to implement or involve themselves in an attempt to improve inter cultural many communication programs. Fear and ignorance are the very agents of continued misunderstanding and the price to be paid is one of self-suppression. Most Puerto Ricans born and raised in the slums of this country adopted style a of have (verbal and communication non-verbal) similar to that of black people. This is because Puerto Ricans and Blacks occupy the same tenement and neighborhood. Communication is historically unavoidable, necessary because it becomes a way of life. actual aggression between the two groups. An analysis made by Dr. Francisco Pabon, founder and Assistant Director of the Puerto Rican Studies Department, at this University indicates racial prejudice amongst Puerto Ricans is based on shade discrimination conducive to the Puerto Rican who i? black, but does not want to be. Pabon adds that the racial thing of blacks in America has created a rather self-centered condition which is very hard to break. This may explain why blacks and Puerto Ricans are not as “together” as they should be. American and Puerto Rican blacks share a common African cultural heritage. After many revolts by Taino Indians against intruding Spaniards insurmountable losses led to the enslavement of the Indians. To compensate for the losses of a dwindling population of slaves, the Spaniards imported African slaves. Through enslavement an agricultural economy developed. The, Taino inhabitants had been practically eliminated by 1511. The process of slavery was clearly to destroy the culture of the slave and the sense of self. In attempting to destroy the culture, the colonizing countries felt that the slaves would not struggle to be free. Uiiity commonalities create is the phenomenon of the Puerto Rican who walks, talks and acts black. For all practical purposes the Puerto Rican jg, culturally black. In many universities where there are black and Puerto Rican student organizations concerned with social change, there exists What these Since the Tainos (arawaks) and Africans worked together in the the same in fields, lived communities and intermarried, they maintained certain aspects of bot-t cultures in their religious practices, traditions and art forms. They kept these hidden from their oppressors to ensure their own survival, as well as that of their past. Monday, 9 May 1977 . The Spectrum . Page nine �Loss of essence?

I wonder. Julia de Burgos (1918—1953), a Puerto Rican schoolteacher, achieved wide acclaim as one the the greatest poetesses of America with her universal mood and profoundly Puerto Rican content. Puerto Rican women struggle for survival by Zoraida Bourdon de Baez Through the ages, the Puerto Rican woman has become a “great survivor.” Why, do ybu ask? What i's'it that she has survived? Let us look back (o the beginning with the Tainos Indians. These people were described as “copper-colored, with black course straight hair, high cheek bones, and with eyes that were black and oblique.” Their women were considered beautiful, wise and very much admired by many men. At the time Christopher Columbus found Borinquen (Puerto Rico) he was led by Taino women who had been captured by the Tainos ancestral enemies, the Caribs. These women actually led Columbus back to their island, though it has been denied, without any so-called navigational skills, and yet they knew where to go. The Spaniards, colonized Borinquen and unfortunately destroyed the Tainos with harsh labor, killings and wars. The women survived through intermarriage with the black slaves, who were brought to work on the island, and the Spaniards. With the colonization of Puerto Rico, the “native” Puerto Rican women were not able to wear beautiful dresses or be courted by handsome nobles, as were the women of the upper class. They had only the farms to think about; the beginning of another hard day and the constant fear of the Spanish soldiers, who would try to abuse them. And yet, these women survived the strife and suffering through generations of extermination and intermarriage. The Taino heart has remained strong and true. The years went by, the owners of the land changed, and promises were made of better tomorrows. One of these promises was called “Operation Bootstrap.” With the change of the economy from agriculture to industry, women were now working in factories. There was probably nothing exciting or new about this work, but the women made a little more money. Many welcomed the job; especially if they were the head of the household or her husband could not find a job. Then, the Puerto Rican people were told that they should migrate to New York, were they would be paid better wages, live in better housing and attend better schools. With that, women as well as men went to New York hoping to make enough money so that they could return to their homelands. Some did return, but others did not. Of those that remained, there is still hope of returning. The jobs really were not in abundance and the hardships of weather, assimilation and prejudice were strong, but the Puerto Rican women withstood the name-calling, the abusive landlords, the poor housing, the rats, the roaches and the sexually abusive employers. Many had almost been convinced that in order for them and their children to survive, they had to learn to speak only English. But not even assimilation could touch what was inside, which could never ever be erased This in itself is not a complete history of the Puerto Rican woman. She was not only a mother, but a survivor of an attempt at genocide S, through the unexplained and coerced sterilization of her by the power Structure. The Puerto Rican woman is a proud woman proud of her heritage and proud of her people. Page ten . The Spectrum . Monday, 9 May 1977 Foreigners?

"I total destruction of our most to get by in this system? I wonder WONDER.” College —continued from page 9— .. A recent report presented by a special post secondary education commission to New York Hugh Carey Governor 1976 study conducted by the New York State Education Department reported that Puerto Rican applicants to senior and community colleges had decreased by 51 and 21 percent respectively. Both figures exceed the average, the study noted. But even if Puerto Ricans enter the CUNY system, their chances of obtaining a college degree remain rather slim, according to the study. CUNY statistics show that there is a larger percentage of Puerto Rican students in CUNY’s two-year community colleges than in the more prestigious four-year institutions. As a result, Puerto Rican community college students have become the victims of high-handed maneuvers to save the senior colleges. April • \ Having monetary problems? recommended a division of the university system to bring the four senior colleges (Hunter, Queens, Brooklyn, City) under the protection of the state government. The four would then escape the city’s financial woes. Private up, public down But even if that proposal does not go into effect, community college students have already been affected by a recent Board of Higher Education decision. The board rules that out of town state residents could pay the same tuition fee as city residents attending senior colleges. For Puerto Ricans, this would - more undoubtedly mean competition from better-educated suburban students. Moreover, private educational receiving institutions are increasing state aid at a time when CUNY was hit with a $68 million budget cut. Although 63 percent of the state’s students attend public colleges, approximately 50 percent of the $172 million in state tuition grants will go to private colleges. What does all this mean? For Puerto Ricans it means the loss of a right which was fought for and won back in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. Why is this happening and what can be done about it? We will try to answer those questions in future articles.

S. stifles minority values by Norman Aybar For quite some time Puerto Ricans have been coming to the United States. They do it to escape the prevailing oppression on the island. Puerto Ricans suffer from lack of jobs, lack of opportunities, arid bad working and living conditions. The fact, however, is that they come to the United States to find themselves also oppressed and exploited by the very same people they have been trying to escape from. The conditions they find in the United States are not so different from the conditions on some cases, the island. In conditions are worse. After all, there, one is with his own people! Puerto Rican people in the United States are not considered “citizens.” They are treated as foreigners and in the worst cases as “negroes.” Many are aware of their nationality and race for the first time, because they are faced with ope of the United States’ major problems, social discrimination due to racism. If they ever decide to come back to the island they are surprised to be considered “Newyoricans.” Many do not realize to what extent they have been assimilated over the years into the “American way of life” until they face the common realities of a Latin American and Antillian country. It is very difficult for many to keep their culture, habits, customs, and language due to the very nature of American society and its negation of minorities and their values. Deep-rooted heritage Despite all that, Puerto Ricans, as well as native American,.have a cultural heritage much older than white Americans. Puerto Ricans have their ,language, their culture, their literaty traditions, their values, and they know who they are and where they are coming from. We have a very deep sense of community, of belonging to a large group of which we form part of. We have close ties that go beyond those of the family group. As a matter of fact, we still have a different sense of family'which is just restricted not to a mother/father relationship. We have not yet lost the value of sharing. Our refrain has always been, “donde come uno comen diez” (If there is food for one there is also for ten). The old and the sick are not abandoned in those horrible senior citizens’ homes. And, in gene'ral, a Puerto Rican without a job, or hunted by the police expects to get a hand from his own people. However, here in the United States, Puerto Ricans are pressured from the social environment to accept the American slogan which reads, “defiendete por tu cuenta,” (take care of yourself). Questionable values The problem is to continue thinking that it is because of those differences that the ethnic minorities suffer because of their own “ways.” It is necessary to question the “values” that are ascribed to the majority and see how they manifest themselves institutionally, culturally, and also in day to day life. There is a general assumption that it is the American majority fhat preserves and defends “civilization” and that this justifies keeping the minorities in check. However, this does not hold water if we look at the issue closely. The racism that exists in the United States is a clear example of the failure of the system to gain any validity from any standpoint nobody would — publicly defend racism, with the exception of a few nazis. Puerto Ricans are particularly affected by this form of racism because it is not unusual to find within a family “white, black” mixed. In Puerto Rico, the concept of minority is based on race and has been traditionally. non-existent they find the problem difficult to deal with. The problems become - more complex when they cannot be taken as “white” or “black” and are isolated from both. To make matters even worse the idea of belonging to a minority group is ultimately . alien to a Puerto Rican. Our 450 years of history and experience tells every single one of us that we are not a minority group or even a group which is only one part of a larger one. We are not a part, but a totality, not a group, but a nation, the Puerto Rican Nation.

Lower wages Even after, elections were scheduled at the J.P. Stevens plant in Roanoke Rapids, N.C: to see if the majority of the workers wanted a union, the company tried to pit the black and white workers against one another. One white woman worker said: “They tried to make us think it was going to be a black union. But they were just trying to get the white people not to join the union. It didn’t work. People are smarter than they think they are.” A manufacturing worker in North Carolina made an average of $59.96 less per week than the national average in November 1976, according to a University of North Carolina study. As-long as blacks and whites fight among themselves, neither will be able to make the gains they could make if they worked together. Student unity In February .of this year, students at the State University of New York (SUNY) system, who are predominantly white, and students from the City University of New York (CUNY) system, who are predominantly black and of other minority groups, united at the Conference to Defend Higher Education around a common • program to stop all cutbacks at both educational ' systems. It will now be more difficult for the state to use racism to divide and weaken the students and faculty in New York State, in their opposition to cutbacks in cheap labor on the plantation permanently, so they instituted slavery in the 1660s. Since the planters could not enslave all workers, they singled out only common goals education In the 1960s, many one small group based on skin color those of African legal — defense organizations were either all white or all nlack. In 1672, the National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression was from the founded, evolving Defense Angela Davis uniting defense Committees, organizations of all races and nationalities into one broad coalition: nationality. ‘Outstanding achievements’ In order to justify this enslavement, plantation the owners created the false ideology of racism. They said that black people were inferior and incapable of taking care of themselves. Then by denying blacks education, they could point to their illiteracy as Multi-racial Likewise, young people in the political left in the 1960s, were primarily organized onp the basis of separate organizations for whites and blacks. Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) was practically an all white organization. Black youth worked with the Black Panther Party, the Black Student Unions, or similar groups, that were formed across the country. While it is true that black and white young people worked together in organizations, such as the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), it is often on a basis of inequality and paternalism. However, by 1970, many black and white youths talked of the necessity to work in a united organization. Former members of SDS, the Black Panther Party, Unions, Black Studend independent socialists and young members pf the Communist party, formed a national multi-racial Marxist youth organization, the Young Workers Liberation League (YWLL). The YWLL has a black chairman, . a Puerto Rican Executive Secretary, a white Educational Director and minorities comprise. half of its nation-wide membership. The , ideology of racism developed in colonial America around the middle and end of the 17th century.

Brady did not remember saying the latter and added he received no monetary deal- from Liggett in the “philosophical agreement.” In an effort to promulgate job security, the seventeen employees at WBUF will vote “for” or “against” the union membership in the broadcaster organization, NABET this Thursday. Liggett stipulated that he is not afraid of a union, but it is not needed at WBUF- because of the family type IP A membership meeting will be held on Wednesday, May 11, 1977 from 3:30-5:30 p.m in The Faculty Club, Harriman Hall. Following the meeting there will be a reception in honor of past relationship the staff enjoys, It is Allen who believed he was fired due to his unionizing Brady activities. denied this allegation. Allen proceeded to file with the National Labor Relations Board as to unfair practices regarding his termination. Brady observed that the “Board did not find cause to go to a hearing on this matter.” This was not, in fact, true. When Lawrence Gross of the Board was contacted, he said, “The Board did not take up the matter because Allen removed his from the Board’s complaint CHARLIE’S Men’s Hair Styling at Across from Goodyear UNIVERSITY PLAZA presidents; Charles Fall and Constantine Yeracaris. 20% DISCOUNT Refreshments will be served with this ad office.” Allen said he removed the complaint because he felt he could not win the suit against “BUF’s big money and lawyers.” Allen felt incensed by his dismissal, but moreover, saw Liggett as selling BUF out and turning the station’s format into one programming Top Forty music. Allen moved to form a protest group against Liggett at Buffalo’s International Airport'c5n Easter Sunday. Allen contended that Liggett avoided him. As to this matter, Liggett observed, “I didn’t know what was going on. The Cheektowaga police took me off the plane and escorted me away because they said the mob was abusive. The group apparently ran after a guy they thought was me and scared him half to death. So the police took me away. But 1 would have talked to them. 1 still will if they want to talk to me.” Captain Snyder of the Cheektowaga police said the mob 837-3111 ry gave the police a hard time and that there was no reason for the refused any protest. Snyder further conversation about the matter over the phone. Paul Palo, , morning radio personality at WBUF, believes he and the rest of\ the staff will keep their jobs at the station subsequent to Liggett’s takeover. He seemed to express the sentiments of the staff present at the meeting which included evening man Phil Chordas and . weekend man Phil Bashe. Although Liggett has applied on his FCC license for a maximum of 24 minutes of commercial programming per hour, he only intends to use about 9 minutes of the alloted time per hour. Liggett will exercise his judgment as to more commercial time added to when programming the need Regarding Liggett’s arises. ownership Palo' commented, “Let’s give him a chance.” *7iam utters &Suck CAVE-IN GRAND OPENING 20% off the Month of May Maple Center 1400 Millersport Hwy 688-9026 12” b/w T.V.

Page fifteen �Tennis Bulls Closing match disappointing by Harvey Shapiro Spectrum Staff Writer in change scenery A Wednesday did nothing to help : the tennis Bulls’ fortunes. Forced into the Bubble due to bad weather, the Bulls finished their dismal season by losing to Cornell 7-2. The loss left the Bulls winless in five matches this spring. Idle only bright spot in the match was Rob Gurbacki’s career ending victory. Gurbacki won the tough fought match, 3-6, 6-3, 7-6. Down 5-2 in the deciding third set, he rallied to force a tiebreaker, which he won easily, 5-2. “The match depended on who held serve,” he commented afterwards, “and after I was down I concentrated on keeping serve 1977 Buffalonian Y earhook will be available Tuesday, May 17, in the University Press office, Room 361 Squire Hall.

Yearbook: $9.00 (if mailed, 31.00 for postage & handling) (Limited Supply) and playing on the weakness in his serve. It worked.” The win was especially gratifying for Gurbacki because it capped his career at Buffalo. “I had been playing very poorly this spring,” he remarked. “and I wanted to go out a winner. When I did, I was very happy.” Gurbacki was so happy that he flipped himself over the net at the end of the match. However, Gurbacki’s enthusiasm did not inspire the rest of the Bulls as the lower seeds were trounced in the singles. The only other win for the Bulls was an impressive 6-0, 6-3 victory for the third doubles team of Larry Bleiberg-Dave Meyers. . But. Cole’s injury does not explain the dismal season alone. LaPenna in fact blames poor facilities. “We are playing top notch competition,” he explained, “who have practiced all winter. They have been playing since February, we start in April. They have had 20 matches under their belt by the time they play us, we play five all year.” The hopes for next year depend on a fundraising program this June. “With funds,” La Penna Injuries and practice time Cornell, other Buffalo as have done, simply the team; Bulls’ overpowered coach Tom LaPenna believes he has some reasons. “First of all we had many injuries this year. Most opponents pointed out, “we will be able to take a Southern trip next year and matches.” get those needed However, the funds,'- as every coach and athlete knows at Buffalo, are not certain. Next year is still a question mark. Marijuana -*-eonUnuecl from page 13— ... considered a Class B Misdemeanor and punishable by a $500 fine and/or up to 3 months in jail. Deletions The bill also contains higher penalties for quantities over one pound than either of the original bills. Possession of over one pound will be a Class D Felony (up to 7 years in jail) while sales over one pound will be a Class C Felony (up to 15 years in jail). Ned Cole, Counsel for Senator Barclay, felt the stricter penalties will provide the proper amount of deference. The compromise bill also deleted two parts of Gottfried’s bill. The first would have allowed for resentencing of those already in jail.’ The other section would have decriminalized growing of marijuana. Both were deleted because there was no support for them in the Senate, and Cole felt the bill would not have passed with those provisions included. The bill is expected' to pass the Democratic-controlled Assembly first with no problem, since the Democrats are behind it. It will then come up for a vote in the Senate. If the bill passes the Senate it will go to the Governor. Governor Hugh Carey has already said he would sign such a bill. Student Association of the State University (SASU) Legislative Director Joel Packer said, “It’s important that students now put pressure on their legislators. SASU will be meeting this week With those legislators who oppose the bill.” Packer went on to characterize the bill “an important step in easing the current restrictive laws,” but added that “it doesn’t go quite as far as we would prefer. Overall we support it and hope it passes.” Living in the Dorms Next Veer?

There Ask the residents of the Ellicott Complex if the possibility of a drinking problem exists there and one’s head would spin with the wide range of reactions. “Alcoholism on campus, hell no! Students just drink to have a good time.,” one student said while banging his fist on a table. ' “Yeah, people drink too much but what can you expect when every place on campus serves liquor? See for yourself,” he said, gesturing with a sweep of his arm to a group of students partying in the hall. One p artier came to the group’s defense. “Listen man, the problem with this place is that there’s too much dope and not enough booze.” Vomit and fire alarms Students living in Wilkeson Quadrangle are confronted daily by the influence of alcohol. Located directly above The Pub the dormitory takes the brunt of angry outbursts of many an intoxicated student, as evidenced by numerous holes in the walls, inoperative toilets and an , are_ often traces of vomit on the staircases in Wilkeson and residents there are plagued by false fire alarms. Bruce Wagner, a resident advisor (RA) in Wilkeson Quad, has dealt with over $340 worth of damage resulting from vandalism on his floor. This convinced him of the need to investigate drinking patterns on campus. “Students are under a lot of social and academic use alcohol as a pressure means of relieving tension,” he said. “This often leads to irresponsible behavior such as destruction of- public property.” 1 by Susan Schacter Staff Writer Spectrum Increase in drunk cases A quarter of all incident reports (a record of any unusual event that occurs in the dormitories) received by the housing office are directly related to alcohol, according to Wagner. Most students are unaware that the housing office is alloted a specific budget for repairing damages and replacing stolen property, Madison Boyce, Director of Housing, said. “If the cost of repairs excedes the budget, things don’t get fixed. Students are only hurting themselves by —Vazquez their unruly behavior,” he added. The vandalisms, although a nuisance, are the least frightening aspect of alcoholic abuse. The housing staff takes care of many alcohol related emergencies, such as respiratory problems, requiring hospitalization. One student almost bled to death during the fall semester from punching his arm through a window and other students suffered from alcoholic amnesia. There was even one suspected case of alcohol poisoning. M. Luther Musselman, Director of Health Services, said, “We’re just on the tip of the iceberg. We only receive people who are ill or a bother to their roommates. You cannot conclude from our reports whether or not there is a general drinking problem.” —continued on page 2- Some dues remain unpaid SASU opening its seventh year with a deficit The Student Association of the State University (SASU) is moving into its seventh fiscal year with a $15,000 deficit and unpaid dues from the State University Colleges at Old Westbury and Buffalo. \ SASU is a state-wide coalition of SUNY student governments, which provides services and communication for its members on a large scale. Individual SUNY student governments determine whether they will participate. Participation of a student government involves the election of delegates to represent that government, and the payment of 85 cents per Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) student enrolled on that campus. For the undergraduate Student Association (SA) at this University, the bill comes to about $11,000. At present, about two-thirds of all SUNY student governments are SASU members. According to SASU Executive Vice President Dianne Piche, SASU’s financial troubles began in the 1975-76 school year, when three member schools unexpectedly pulled out. SASU anticipates its income for each year by adding up the dues to be collected from schools which pledge to join. Piche said the State University Colleges mm opposed the formation of the Third World Caucus, a special group representing Third World students, saying that its formation constituted reverse discrimination. Several SASU members still protest the Caucus, but only the original three schools have pulled out because of it. Besides the deficit, SASU must now deal with non-payment of dues from the State University Colleges (SUC) at Old Westbury and Buffalo. SASU had planned to eradicate half of its deficit this year, but the budget has been upset by the absence of.$9,000 worth of dues from these two schools. Piche believes SUC Buffalo has the money, but is withholding for some reason. Representatives of Old Westbury say they simply do not have the money. c c^-— at Brockport and Cortland and SUNY at Brook all Stony pledged to join at SASU’s annual conference of June, 1975. Then they pulled out, after paying reduced member rates for SASU services and participating in election of SASU officials. This took a $20,000 chunk out of the $100,000 SASU budget for that year, causing the current deficit. Protesting the causus Piche said the schools left because they Piche feels SASU will not fold, but rather will simply have to weather the financial “storm,” while waiting for the dues payments. “Almost every young political organization operates with a deficit,” she said. SASU hopes to survive this year using loans and pre-payment of dues from its members. It is possible that SA on this campus will assist SASU with a loan or pre-payment this year. �Student alcoholism... student put it, “Who me? Maybe him, but never me.” Alcoholic abuse is often hidden by the wide acceptance of drinking as a social norm. If huipor reflects popular attitudes, numerous jokes about alcohol are evidence of its acceptability. Parties epitomize the social aspect of drinking. “What do you want to drink,” asks every good host the minute his guest steps in the door. According to a psychologist at Harriman Clinic, James Makenzie, problem drinking is hard to detect in a predominantly white, middle class population, such as that of the dorms here. People associate alcoholism with lower income groups and picture “a drunk” as someone lying half dead in the gutter. ■ A person’s drinking patterns are not easily distinguished until he is established in a relatively secure living situation. Student drinking habits change according Maijorie Wright, Head Nurse at Michael Hall, confirmed what Musseltnan said, and added that this last year has seen an increase of admittances to the clinic for intoxication. She said that the students they admit are usually freshmen experimenting with alcohol for the first time and are discovering their limitations. “The worst is when they mix alcohol and pills and won’t admit to it because they are frightened of the consequences,” Wright said. “This is extremely dangerous and most people are unaware of the harm they can do to themselves if they are not given immediate attention.” She stressed that whatever is said to the staff upon entering the clinic does not leave the building and that students are urged to be frank. Abuse hidden by acceptance The main problem with the use of alcohol on this campus is that there is no problem.

It is often heard, “In college it’s just something to do, but I’ll quit when I leave.” “I’d define a problem drinker as anyone who needs to get drunk, whether it be continuous or repetitive weekend binges,” Makenzie said. Pub enhances drinking The weekend binger is a common species around Ellicott. “Students can’t afford to drink all year long so they save up their pennies and when the weekend comes, watch out,” said Wagner. “Party, party, party... flashes like neon lights from dorm halls and the smell of sloshed beer drives away the cockroaches.

Presently, these funds have not yet been authorized. officials at this are >that the University hopeful funds will be included in the Several Legislature’s Supplemental Budget which will be acted on this summer. Speaker of the State Assembly Stanley Steingut viewed the Bubble last Thursday. “I went into the Bubble and was terribly dismayed,” he said. “In fact, I was embarrassed. I promise you, we will add your gym to the list of needed consttuction.” Student Association (SA) President Dennis Delia will be Senate meeting with State Leader Warren Anderson Majority this weekend to discuss the Amherst Gym situation and the construction situation in general. Delia also a will being letter-writing campaign to local legislators, asking for their support. Could begin in months If the legislature authorizes the funds for the first phase of the gym in its supplemental budget to which would amount approximately $10 million, the contract would probably be bid in December, and work would commence next spring. If the funds are not appropriated until next year’s budget is passed (on March 31), it could mean a delay of several months in starting construction, since the contractor could not begin purchasing the necessary materials until after the contract was awarded. If the contractor were awarded the contract in December, he could have the necessary materials ready for the spring construction season. The gym is scheduled to be built in two phases. The first phase will include an arena with seating for 10,000 people, lockers, handball courts, classrooms and office space. The second phase will include the triple gym, squash courts, the natatorium (swimming and diving facility), more lockers and most of the offices. The two phases can function separately, and would each take about two-and-one-half to three years to be built. Delia and members of the State University Construction Fund had been considering combining the two phases of the gym into one $20 project. million large man, Mort Gass to According Assistant Vice-Chancellor of the State University Construction Fund, the project would have the advantage that only one contract and one contractor would be required, and therefore, the state might be able to have the gym built at a slightly lower cost than two with contractors. The disadvantage would be that the project would take approximately five years to build, whereas Phase I, if built alone, could be ready for use in two-and-one-half years, after the of beginning construction. development. Phase one has passed the design stage and only the working drawings of the building have to be completed. The design stage for phase two has not been started yet, and is scheduled to be completed a year after the design stage of phase one is finished.

Green discusses self-ap pointed the Don Bolles investigation Editor’s note: Behind “The Arizona Story” is a man who worked diligently to maintain the integrity of his profession. Robert W. Green, Suffolk County Bureau Chief of Newsday led the 36-member staff of Investigative Reporters and, Editors. In this interview with Spectrum Staff Writer Marshall Rosenthal, Green relates the findings and repercussions of his investigation. by Marshall Rosenthal Spectrum Staff Writer Don Bolles never lived to tell his story. But as tribute to both the man and the investigative reporter, a team of 36 American censorship. The paper has become nothing but a mouthpiece.” The purpose of the IRE investigation was not to work on the Bolles case — his murderer has already been found. The team’s energies were channeled to work on the system and structure of Arizona. Through the IRE newsletter, writers were solicited for the operation. Before the team was organized, Newsday' s organized crime expert, Tom Renner, spent four weeks under-cover in Arizoria and New Mexico building up people files. Back on Long Island, it was hot. A huge volume of material was continuously channeled to Green who spent the summer reading it all. “If you’re going to be a team leader, y(j)u better damn well know more about the subject than anyone else on your team,” he said. Green hired housewives to set up a file system, cross-indexing businesses and people. Meanwhile, reporters were coming and goipg. “There were to'o many part-timers,” said the leader. Green then established a permanent “cadre” of six reporters. Besides Green, 'Renner and Mike Wenlow of the Detroit News, the Arizona Star provided two reporters and the Arizona Republic one. The team was shaping up . . . Off to Arizona! spokesman for American journalism.” , Green then shifted his assessments to the Arizona politicians. “Someone has to be there to channel the leadership.

Green 1 took a this is to mount a unique cooperative effort,” said Green. “It was only this way that small papers from Ohio, Oregon and Mississippi were able to join with the Boston Globe and Newsday in a universal expression of solidarity.” Green continued, “When you are,, expressing solidarity, you must move in a group. Did we come to common decisions? Yes! We moved in a pack for a reason under a very unique circumstance.” But Green is quick to point out that this does not necessarily set a precedent. “I agree with the Times and the Post. This is not something that should be done frequently. But I do feel that there are times when this is the only way to do something. But on the other hand, to do this every day is ludicrous.” The mari singularly most responsible for criticizing the IRE team has been the Managing Editor of the Washington Post, Ben Bradley. Green was blunt in his appraisal of Bradley, there is no love lost between the two. According to Green, Bradley was skeptical of IRE. “Investigative reporters are too egotistical to work together in the same room and this wouldn’t work,” he reportedly said of the venture. * — , , deep breatl\ before his analysis of Gbldwater. “Goldwater looked terrible in his public utterances he looked totally unknowledgeable. He said there wasn’t any, organized crime in the state. But the Attorney General said there was, the governor said there was, the jilnior Senator said there and the police commissioner said there was organized crime. “Then he says ‘name one major mobster.’ Well how about Joe Bonanno? Then his aid says, ‘oh gee, 1 thought he was dead’.” Green adds, “Bonanno is operating out of Tucson and is the most powerful mobster working west of the Rockies, putting together a tremendous criminal family. Then Goldwater says, — on page 12— journalists carried on his work. What the “team” uncovered was a rats’ nest of crime and corruption involving as many prominent politicians as mobsters. The mam chosen to lead this investigation was Robert W. Green, the Suffolk County Bureau Chief of Long Newsday. Island’s largest Green is considered something of a pioneer in the journalism profession. He is the originator of the team concept at Newsday and from 1967 until 1972 he headed its investigative group. In 1971, Green’s unit won a Pulitzer Prize for its series entitled, “The Heroin Trail.” Green is a member of Investigative Reporters and Editors (IRE) Inc., under whose copyright “The Arizona Story” ‘Pack Journalism’ was published.

Inc. which appeared as a 24-part series in the Long Island daily, Newsday. The report was spurred by the car-bombing death in June, 1976 of Arizona Republic reporter Don Bolles, who was killed while investigating fraudulent land deals that involved some of Arizona's most prominent businessmen. As in Part One, all direct quotes that appear in The Spectrum are hereby attributed to the IRE report, as it was presented in Newsday. by Marshall Rosenthal Spectrum Staff Writer Barry Goldwater and Rosenzweig were close friends with Willie Bioff, an associate of Gus Greenbaum who had helped open the famous Flamingo Hotel almost thirty years ago. The two had been invited guests at the Flamingo’s- opening and since then, the Goldwater-Rosenzweig clan have received plush accommodations at the hotel-casino. Robert Goldwater’s ties go farther.

In 1955, Arrowhead was sold to four prominent underworld figures. Webb and Crown purchased the farm four years later in 1959, with Crown putting up most of the cash. The Webb-Crown venture ended in 1966 when the ranch was sold to its present owners, Robert Godwater and the Joseph F. Martori family, under the corporate heading of Goldmar already-mentioned Corporation. Webb moved publicly to become the largest single hotel-casino owner in Nevada. In August 1961, the Webb Corporation bought the Sahara and Mint Hotels. Three years later he added the Thunderbird Hotel and casino to his conglomerate. He then put the casinos at all three hotels under the corporate name of Consolidated Casinos Corporation. Webb later sold the Thunderbird to the next-door neighbor of Meyer Lansky. Yet privately, Moe Dalitz, the top Lansky aid and personal friend of Robert Goldwater also maintairied a relationship with Webb. Dalitz became a major stockholder in the Webb Corporation in 1969 when he received 150,000 share of stock. The facts are clear, much of Arizona has been taken over by organized crime. From gambling and prostitution to the marijuana and heroin, criminal elements from across the country have flocked to Arizona to cash in on the big boom.

The PPC is a grassroots community organization statewide concerned with utilities issues. Public power, community control of utilities through city ownership in Buffalo, is a major focus of the conference. Towns and cities in New York State that have public power pay approximately half the amount Buffalo residents pay. Solar panels The conference will feature Fred Dusenberry, a well known community activist, who will speak about LIFELINE, a proposal for a more equitable utility rate structure. Under the present system. small residential customers are subject to much steeper rates than are large commercial and industrial consumers. LIFELINE proposes a reversal of this system. Its creators feel if less electricity and gas are used, less should be paid; it is a system that hopes to promote conservation and help low and fixed income persons. Participating in the afternoon workshops will be experts in various aspects of energy systems and utility organization. A highlight of the alternative energy workshop will be the presentation of two solar panels and a windmill built by the students from Rachel Carson College. The workshops are intended to provide the conference participants with concrete strategies for utility activism in Buffalo. The conference will conclude with a forum by Buffalo’s mayoral candidates. The candidates will be given five minutes to discuss their ideas on a comprehensive winterization program and public power for the city of Buffalo. There is a conference fee of $5.00 or $2.00 for those who have low incomes. For more information, call 832-8128. Friday, 6 May 1977 . The Spectrum . Page five �Goldwater and Bolles...

The Arizona story is far from over. It may never be. But what has been resolved, as Newsdav’s Robert Green pointed out, is that the communications media will not sit idly by when a fellow journalist is murdered. The killing of Don Bolles did not hush up his story. He died long before June 13, 1976. He was killed by a society that allowed these types of operations to flourish for over forty years. Bolles merely opened a Pandora’s box which literally rocked the state of Arizona while shocking the rest of the country, as well. “Phoenix with all its growth and sophistication is a m sail town on its attitudes towards crime,” said Marisopa County District Attorney Charles Hyder.

This accounts for almost one third of their total budget. Dr. M. Luther Musselman, Director of University Health Services, said the cuts will come from the “other than personal services” (OTPS) budget. “This budget,” explained Dr. Musselman, “is used to pay for the incidentals other than salaries.” Without this money Health Services will be unable to purchase small but necessary items such as lab coats. In addition, such on-hand medications as aspirin and ointments now distributed without cost to students will no longer be available. All medicines and supplies will have to be purchased by the student either from Health Service or outside pharmacies. Another service which will be abandoned will be hiring of taxis for students who need hospital care. Little hope The Health Advisory committee, chaired by Associate Vice President for Health Science Dr. Donald Larson, met to discuss the problem and is planning actions aimed at avoiding the proposed cuts. In the event that the state decision cannot be reversed, committee members are hopeful that money can be found elsewhere to make up for the reductions. Larson explained that no action has been taken as yet, due to the illness of University President Dr. Robert Ketter. Musselman and Robert Olds, Director of the Health Care Division of Sub Board I, Inc., suggested that some type of en-masse protest march by Health Service employees might be made to Ketter’s office. Larson said that no decision had been made as to what form the discussion with Ketter would take, but felt that Musselman should be the spokesman for the committee since the cuts were from his budget. When asked about the possibility of a large protest and whether student action would help, Larson responded, “I don’t know when noice helps or hinders, so for the moment we will keep this low key.” At the moment the possibility of restoration of the budget slash from Albany seems rather slim. According to Dr. F. Carter Pannill, Vice President for Health Science, “The cuts are state mandated and thus cannot be restored.” This leaves only the possibility of the funds coming from somewhere else, throwing the final decision into the hands of Ketter.

Enke took over the reigns of that organization for the first time this year. Up is responsible for many periodical publications in this University, and also'helps Sub Board conduct numerous business transactions. While students’ major benefit from UP is the printing of resumes, this year the organization added publication of the Buffalonian to its repetoire. Throughout its history, UP has consistently operated at a deficit. The addition of a third salaried worker, along with wage increases, increased UP’s overhead substansially.

If all goes well, he estimated the deficit to be somewhere around $15,000, with $105,000 in expenditures and $90,000 in revenue.

Van Nortwick pointed out that after reviewing the situation for about six months, he was going to take measures to resolve the problem before the resignation was submitted. He also stated that those measures could have included the dismissal of Fnke. He made it clear that when Enke took the responsibility upon herself, she promised she’d run the UP as an income offset operation and Van Nortwick holds her accountable for her failure to do so. Van Nortwick attributed some of the deficit to the printing of student publications as well as posters. He said the total cost of these endeavors was greater than the return. .

Friday, 6 May 1977 The Spectrum Page seven . . �EditPrial Painful music cuts The budget axe has fallen again. It appears as if the University will be without a Director for its two orchestras and its program jn Jazz Studies. Both programs are now in jeopardy. It is fair to estimate that any quality music department must have an orchestra. This University is fortunate enough have two, and they serve an important link to the community. It seems insane that thay be made vulnerable by not appointing an orchestra director. to On the other hand, the program in Jazz Studies is a specialty of which few universities can boast. The great interest in jazz at this University as in the City of Buffalo make it seem natural that such a program should exist here Discontinuing Jazz Studies here would be a crime. Provost George Levine said the reason the two appointments could not be made is because of a $135,000 deficit in the Faculty of Arts and Letters budget. We would like to see Levine get together with Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn to see if a less painful alternative to the proposed cuts can be found. Maybe these popular facets of the University's music program can be saved. Drunk at Amherst The drinking problem at the Ellicott Complex reached a point during the winter's blizzard siege where Food Service, at the insistence of the Housing staff, refrained from serving alcohol for several days, and severely limited sales for a large part of the remaining emergency period. Many complaints were raised at the time, but the reasoning behind the booze embargo was simple: there are three to five alcohol related emergencies on campus over a normal weekend which require outside assistance, Although marijuana and other drugs traditionally linked with student counter-culture have occupied the limelight for Narcissist America To the Editor This letter is addressed,to the growing of the young of the 1970’s. When I first came to U.B., I had hoped to find that the times were still a-changing and that the American college student was behind this change. Idealistically, this change, which began in the sixties, stood for broader views on politics and religion, and for human improvement; it sought not to please itself but to please the world in that it wanted more openness, more giving of one’s self. The sixties sought to look past limited perspectives and strove for universal advancements-in the human condition: in education, peace, acceptance of other beliefs, customs, races, and backgrounds. The sixties were less troubled with personal materialism and bothered less by selfishness. In reading The Spectrum for the past two years, I have found the forum of modern student thought. These views argue themselves for the individual student and student group. Life at U.B. is segmented into various collections of views, all of which seem to care only for their own manifestations. I find that education here centers on economics; a job is the purpose of education, not learning. Liberal education is dying. I look around and see nationalist Jews venting war propaganda against the Soviets and Arabs while trying to uphold blatant Israeli imperialism in the Mid-East. There are Arabs and communists who spout racial prejudice and hope for war so that their side may win and commit genocide against the Jews. I find students from New York City who flaunt their home address as a sign of wordly sophistication, intellectual thought, and superiority over Buffalo’s townees. And the Buffalo provincials meet this with equally dramatic smugness and pride in their own ignorance of urban life. In Squire Hall I see: Jews who refuse to accept the existence of Christianity and Islam; Christians who refuse to call other believers in Christ by the name “Christians” unless they believe each word of the Bible; socialists who believe they won the ’76 presidential election. We are surrounded by groups for Blacks only, Catholics only, Chinese only In all, we fall victim to contagious short sightedness. We strive only for ourselves. We fight for the glory of our God, our race, our nation, ourselves, and in this ... fashion we build a shell around our minds, destroying any hope for a world society. Ideals are not being upheld. I know people who will again fight in any American war because they believe in America right or wrong. There are those, top, who believe that anything American is wrong. This country is slipping back into isolationism, segmentation, and division due to selfish goals. The seventies are again the culture of the fifties and the isolated, to pay its dues later. “How many thirties times can a man turn his head, pretending he just doesn’t see?” Bob Dylan would be surprised to see it again, so soon, and in the modern college student. — '— Joseph Zuchlewski Undergraduate many years, alcohol abuse has recently re-emerged as the leading health problem at this University Besides the damage we do to ourselves, however, is the deplorable vandalism most visible in Ellicott's Wilkeson Quadrangle.

We are writing to inform the University Community of our consternation at the recent loss of two vital positions in the Music Department. The administration has seen fit to discontinue both the Jazz and Orchestral Directors positions. This action will severely cripple the Music Program. It has been a painstaking process to secure these areas in the department, and their loss will be reflected in the quality of music education at this University. Last year a student strike obviously did not prevent the continuation of cutbacks in the Music Department and elsewhere. However we are willing to try again.

Friday, 6 May 1977 Library hours cut To the Editor Mr. William Bly, in a letter to your paper published on April 15, expressed great concern the cutback of the Art Library hours. We understand and appreciate his concern and deeply regret the inconvenience the cutback in library hours the faculty will cause to and students. \vp dpjaQt have any choice but to take such a step because of fiscal constraints. We were asked to give up twelve full-time positions by April I, and we were not given any additional temporary services money for this year. Both the Art about Librarian and this office spent considerable time deciding how we could best minimize the effect of the loss of lines on the library services in the Art Library. Your readers will be pleased to know that we were able to reduce the cutback from 15 to 10 hours and also not make it effective until after the examinations in May. We hope although we do not see any possibility at this time that the loss of library hours will be restored in the future. Again, we are sorry that we have to make such an unfortunate decision. Saktidas Roy Acting Director of University Libraries �Afro-American centc. flourishes Buffalo environment fosters a new black cultural renaissance by Marjorie Gross Spectrum Staff Writer Just as Harlem fostered and nurtured a Black cultural renaissance in the 1920'», so is Buffalo in the 1970's a vanguard in the projection of the arts throughout the nation." Voicing a sentiment that is prevailing in local artistic curren s these days was Celes Tisdale, somewhat of a Renaissance man himself. An actor, artist, poet and educator (at UB and Buffalo State), Tisdale is the new Executive Director of the African-American Cultural Center in Buffalo. Tisdale lias been absorbed in revitalizing the Center, which seems to riding high on the cultural crest. "I try to ler, 1 my expertise to make it a place where all people will be proud to come, especially my own people," he said. At the heart of the Center's activities is the Paul Robeson Theatre, recently named in honor of the humanist and performer who died last year. Employing an ensemble of actors and actresses from the Buffalo area, the Theatre has met with extraordinary success in the past few months. Commenting on the status of Black theatre in Buffalo, Tisdale remarked, "It's coming along fantasically right now. By the end of the glorious 'll season we will be sitting pretty. Very pretty.". Full house Tisdale and the Theatre Director Ed Smith, who is also a faculty member of this University's Theatre Department, inventoried their considerable acquaintance with plays that have attracted attention elsewhere and came up with five disparate productions for the season. Smith directed "The Sty of the Blind Pig," the production presented in April. The title is a euphemism for the house of prostitution where the protagonist, Blind Jordan, was born, and according to Tisdale the massage he conveys is that "the world is a whorehouse." The play broke all previous attendance and box-office records at the Robeson Theatre, which has a seating capacity of 160 when stretched to its limits. "I had to turn people away," Tisdale said. "We couldn't break the fire laws." To accommodate the tremendous response, the run was held over three days and was performed in the more spacious Greek Theatre at the Niagara Falls Convention Center. May 12th is opening night of Nannie Burroughs' "On Their Way to the Slabtown District Convention,". a comedy exploring the goings-on, mostly of women, at a southern church convention. In an interesting extension of the play's context, Tisdale is planning a box dinner-picnic for the closing night in June, containing what sounds like the quintessence of southern cooking. Social agency Rounding out the season are "Stagolee," a folk tale born out of Black oral tradition; "The Fabulous Ms. Marie" by Ed Bullins; and "Dream on Monkey Mountain," a fairy tale-like play set in the Caribbean. "Comedy, symbol, true enough grass-roots, folk idion, the West that, I think is variety," said Tisdale with evident Indies satisfaction — The Center, located in what was once a motor-tire garage on Masten Avenue, is subsidized by the New York State Council on the Arts and the United Way. "We're a social agency in a sense," explained Tisdale. The Center hosts programs designed for senior citizens as well as offering non-academic arts and crafts classes for the general community. Completing its devotion to all facets of the arts, the Center has a library, a dance company and a music department in the formative stage. While I was there, conga music from a drumming class came pulsing out of the Pearl Primus Dance Chamber, eloquent and enticing.

It is the story hundreds of years of erase of an African people subject to white imperial control and their struggle for independence. Tied by the bonds of ignorance, they accept their plight until one day the oppressor is extringuished, and each group becomes the victims of the other's animosity. There is no escape, the guilty and the guiltless die side by side. Such is the horror of imperialism. Violence of peace "Take away the violence and who will hear the man of peace." The play examines the between external relationship conflict and internal strife the through individual consciousness of the characters. Chris Simmons pwerfully. portrays a Yshembe Matoseh, a young African returning from Europe to his homeland to attend his father's funeral. His passionate delivery reflects his anguish at having to choose between his family in Europe and his people in Africa. It's a decision between life and death, self-interest and the needs of an entire nation. The audience is touched by his humanity as they share with him moments of laughter, rage, and despair. The other major role is that of Page ten . The Spectrum . Friday, 6 May 1977 oppression. In a puff of smoke Matoseh says to him, "And just why should we talk so easily? What is this marvelous nonsense with you Americans? For a handshake, a grin, a cigarette, and a half glass of whiskey you want three hundred years to disappear and in five minutes! Do you really think that the rape of a continent dissolves in cigarette smoke?" Director Lorna C. Hill incorporates music and dance to evoke the mood of Africa. The theatre darkens, native drums beat, and a woman appears magically on stage, clad in a skirt, grass woven top, and mask little makeup. Her body throbs to the rhythm of the drums as she bewitches the audience with the power of her movements. Scenery and props are reduced to a minimum so that the acting is the essence of the play; it makes Les Blancs a challenge for the actors and a riching experience for the audience. Les Blancs is being presented May 5 to 8 at 8 p.m. in the Harriman Studio Theatre. Tickets are $1 for student and senior citizens and $2.50, .for general admission. Prodigal Sun �Shops close when Kinks play on a full moon by Dimitri Papadopoulos Contributing Editor The groupies control most of the stage door area, which is located near the rear of the Century Theatre. Their tall heels squeal deadly scars and load groans, injured groins. They are patient, yet still wighteen and savage. They investigate the exciting SMZ in anticipation of the stars who have not yet arrived. Their presence enhances the humidity of this usually desolate, now cramped street, constructing an almost unagreeable atmosphere for those moistened by the blue cans of Labatt's beer.. Everyone notices them. It would be hard not to express any furiosity in their older decadence, as they certainly looked misplaced in the crowd composed of high schoolers and collegiates. Their thick makeup diversion to the hoarse barking of the hired hand, who tries to inform diversion to the hoarse barking of the hired hand, who trysto inform for shorter lines wears off instantly and the large crowd remains intact, for shorter lines wears off instantly and tha large crowd remains intact.

Through all this, one Elliot Murphy and band try to establish themselves on stage. During the first few songs, however, the situation looks rather bleak. Most of the seats in the orchestra pit are still empty. It looks almost as if everyone had premeditated skipping Murphy in favor of the rock and roll of the Kinks. Nevertheless, Murphy's appearance him a tough edge ala Biran Jones, while his straight blonde locks him’ a tough edge alo Brian Jones, while his straight blonde locks lend him a more cynical attitude, the latter being very reiminispent of both Gregg Allman and Tom Petty. This Long Island boy Garden City in fact for all — Committee md the 0“[»e < Vazquez you bio freaks — is trying very hard to get his music across. It is a tight synthesis of brash rhythm and bides and good old rock and roll, which often finds roots in Van Morrison and more recently Graham Parker, yet its impact is often lost before it even reaches the balcony. How many acts must hate to be billed first in such a disrespectful city as Buffalo. It took a long barrom stomper, characteristically entitled "Rock Ballad" to get matters settled. For a while there, the audience almost became civilised. The few moments of peace gave Elliot Murphy a second wind and he countered the lull with "It's Just The Story Of A Miracle," which is a quasi-reggae number with beautiful call ipso guitar and carnival keyboard work. The crowd thought so too and even responded with a generous applause. As searingly powerful as Murphy can be and tasteful a lead guitarist was his accomplice on the right, it (simple, mindless, tasteless, was the highpowered ) straightforward, lame drum solo in the Springsteen-esque/"You Kick Too Hard, You Feel Too Little" epic, that brought down the house.

Watch him bend over backwards as he thrashes out those wild rpelodies. First an onslaught of stinging darts, then a touch of the berrychuck. He feels every note. Then of course there's Ray Davies, with his maniacal looking long black coat and white, red striped shirt. With the collar misplaced he sheds the appearance of a barber shop pole. It is Ray's radiant charisma that provokes such a totally believable air about him. Davies is in total control of the audience and the hall, which is packed to the rafters. When he urges them to clap, they respond. When he attempts "The Banana Boat Song," the audience commercial too; Everybody loves Sleepwalker when I play it for them. I play it, turn it up, and dance to it alot. I just go crazy! This 1977 concert is going to be the greatest. I think everyones going to tear their hair out. I yvant to bite them. My mom wants to see them. She's 57 and she loves the Kinks." Return to formative stages That is true enthusiam at its greatest extreme. While the possibility of someone running up and biting Ray Davies might seem terribly far-fetched, one must remember that the Kinks evolve from thesame generation that produced Beatlemania and screaming hordes of fans. The spirit has filtered down leaving an impact on today's Kinks' audience. In the history of the Kinks, one first experiences the group as interpreters of the American blues and harmony groups. Soon after the Kinks broke ground penning several hit songs including their immortal classics "You Really Got Me" and "All Day And All Of The Night." In light of the ever expanding consciousness of '67's record buying public, the Kinks recorded their first rock opera, Arthur, which superceded Tommy by at least three months. The '70's found the group blistered by the industry and weary of the public, yet it was in this vein that they recorded such masterpieces as "Top Of The PopsT and "Celluloid Heroes." In more recent configurations the group has turned to writing soap operas and plays for rock and roll. Sleepwalker is their latest album to date and it sees the return of the group back to its formative stages. The process has gone full circle, nroving that '77 has been the year of minimal necessity. Nostalgic moments After a mock opening, the group blitzkreiged through renditions of "Riding Down The Freeway," "Tired Of Waiting For You," and "Sunny Afternoon." The Kinks recreated those nostalgic moments with ah energetic fervor not always evident in the older, established groups. In doing so, the Kinks also certified themselves as able and highly technical rock and rollers. Mick AvOry is a very tight drummer who surpasses cliched drumming by adding punchy accents to the rhythmic propulsion of the music. To think The Rolling Stones once passed him up. New bassist Andy Pyle stands erect as he pounds out a ferocious stomp on his-Fender bass. His glistening blond hair and slick black tux reinforce the classical stereotyped English pop musician. I wonder what ever happened to John Dalton. Unfortunately John Gosling was only barely visable, yet his keyboard work added an infectious There IS a empathically sings along. Concept material The Kinks re-introduce some of their concept material, with the first few selections coming from the soap opera, School Boys In Disgrace. In "Rush .„Hour Blues" the ever manic-depressive Ray portrays Norman, the frustrated accountant. The material is professional and it shows that the Kinks have adapted well in keeping with the times. A specific note of excellence occurs when Ray and his two female backup vocalists engage in a call/answer situation, whipji finally climaxes with a bit of Zappa-style commentary. The whole song is accentuated by brother Dave's breathtaking guitar changes, Not to overdo matters, an organ part stolen straight out of ALL MY CH/'lDREN Ray clarifies any misgivings in a solo outburst. "I'm just an ordinary person, although I'm in a rock and roll band." At this point, Ray introduces "Life On The Road," a cut from Sleepwalker by explaining, "after three months on the road, I've notices it was a very important song to me." The song opens up with a wistful melody as Ray reflects on his early yearnings for a life noticed it was a very important song to me." The song opens up with a Suddenly the music is thrown full throttle, and the audience, is hurled into an in-depth encounter with Ray's adventures. Another let up allows Ray time to reconsider, but he chooses to take the final plunge and the consequential decision moves the audience into a rousing singalong, approving the thrust. Cinematic prespective Returning to a more cinematic prespective; The Kinks perform "School Days." For the rendition, R. Davies assumes a new role as the yvicked professor.

His high pitched harmonies add a greater dimension to the song. Everyone falls prey to the hullaballo. It's a great song, as good as "Satisfaction" of "The Kids Are All Right" and yet, even better material follows. The crowd is enraged by "Alcolol" with its gypsy backbeat and cabaret campiness. Ray does his famous type balancing-a-bottle-on-the-head trick, and even manages to douse himself once or twice. Then he staggers across the stage, swaying the bottle and declares in one final fit of frustration, "Damn it all, ALCOHOL!" Five stars. If that wasn't enough for the stunned crowd, The Kinks continued to assert their massive attack with a medley of their greatest—ever—hits. "You Really Got'Me" and "All Day And All Night" stand in a class by themselves. Ray's harmonica wails. The crowd can again dance to good rock and roll music. A rare pleasure these days. Rock and roll is still the best outlet for releasing stored emotions and frustrations. The Kinks supplied the enegy and the audience released a winter's worth of antagonism. Judging by our winter, you'd have to have called it a great concert. The encore was "Juke Box Music." I could issue another string of superlatives, yet I'd rather conclude by saying that whenever you are cruising in your car or even sitting hope that you can listen to at home listening to records the Kinks.

Ray Davis speaks, "Imagine it 3:30 in the morning and all the streetwalkers.are out there. Ray Davies is out there! He can't sleep. Wolf call." Sleepwalker is perhaps their strongest single since "Lola." It is also their first song to be doing well on the charts since 1970. It must be known that before the Kinks went into the title cut in question, they quizzically stormed through an unarmed ballad. Then came Sleepwalker, which is Davies at his best "I'm a once again. Ray sweeps through the chorus sleepwalker, I'm a night stalker, etc." Mick brings the song back to an exhilarating pace and Dave Davies brings the number home in an all time rocking fit. After a few seconds' breather, Ray, acoustic guitar in hand, belts out the opening chords to "Lola." The crowd is getting what it wants.

Directed by Drama Committee chairperson Daniel Brock, The Wager revolves around the intricate and ever-changing relationships between four people and accordingly presents a variety of meanings. On the surface, the play is about the dissolution of a marriage and the inauguration of an affair through the medium of a wager. A second level portrays how three women, Honor (Rachel Herzog), Page (Selina Page), and Beck (Sue Prestine) compete for one Ron, played by Barry Snider. Further, it explores a basic man conflict in human nature that between mind and body, between the caustically clever yet sexually unsuccessful Page and the pretty and promiscuous Beck. Although written for three men and one woman, the roles, in Brock's words, "can be filled by four men, four women, or two gay couples they are roles that come without genitals." By giving archetypal male roles to women, the cast explores new dimensions, presenting exciting possibilities for character development. The women bring three lifetimes of female experience to lines that normally express male attitudes; the results are interesting, 1 intense, and — — What can be said about a band that leaves kids in a smoky daze and fingering an imaginary guitar?

Islands In The Stream 'is clouded by its shallowness by Bill Maraschiello adaptation robs these encounters of both the human Arts Editor essence that is their soul, and of the nuances that fill them out. What remains is a shallow, downkeyed foam-opera that Schaffner, whose strongest and only significant virtue is a sense of the epic, to which he is unable to bring any interest. Ernest Hemingway's valedictory novel Islands In The Stream, though reading every inch the unfinished work it was, still has an expansiveness and a rich humanity that are its most endearing features. It's these very qualities that Franklin Schffner's film WHO HELPS BRING YOU THE CREATIVE CRAFTS CENTER? OFFERED TO STUDENTS, FACULTY AND STAFF THE STUDENT DIRECTORY Father image The task of enlightening Islands is also beyond the unassisted efforts of Schaffner's nominally fine cast. What one remembers most of George C. Scott's Hudson is how startlingly he resembles Papa H. in his close-cropped gray crewcut and beard. Scott's professed sensitivity to Hemingway, which can even be seen in his portrayal of such self-willed personalities as Patton, has no room to show itself here. Even in his somnambulistic performance, though, he's capable of lending Hudson a natural charisma that many actors at the peak of their powers would be unable to match. Evidence of this is Scott's more than holding his own in the face of David Hemmings' striking performance as his profane, rummy companion. Once the lean, sullen ferret of Blow-Up Hemmings has turned chubby and fleshy; his jovial Tonto to Scott's stoic Lone Islander is a well-placed counterpoint. The waste of the rest of the cast, including Claire Bloom (as Hudson's wife) and Gilbert Roland, is a casualty of trying to cramp a spacious novel within the constricting limits of a film. So is of Islands, now playing at the Boulevard Mall Cinema, has sacreficed, and the film suffers greatly because of their absence Hemingway's book speaks leisurely and lovingly about artist Thomas Hudson's languid life on the Caribbean Island of Bimini, circa 1940, and the encounters with his estranged children and divorced wife that change his life. Denne Bart Pettitclerc's Hudson's transition from a lonely, aesthetic hermit to a behind-the-lines refugee runner, an important transition that gets totally lost in the film's haste to finish everything up in time. When film producer Robert Evans visited Buffalo several weeks ago, he spoke enviously of the TV miniseries' scope for capturing the full range of an expansive work like Roots over several evenings. Whether he had the cramped, weedy Islands in mind is uncertain; certainly it would have benefited from having more room to stretch itself out on its sunny beaches. Good dog!

The particular thing about any form of folk music is that it deals with life as a regional telling of stories through song. AH that, however, is lost through mass appeal. Through popularity. Unit! lately, that is. The likes of Joni Mitchell, Gordon Llghtfoot, the popular folk, have never retrieved what they put to the back of their minds when they went for a larger audience. Popularity is contempt for what is sung to a small circle of friends or fans. But here I sit with bruised pride listening to Dancer With Bruised Knees. Because I was wrong. To think a product, made to sell, could project a regional feeling so well, is radical. Of course, Kate & Anna do not project pure, simple folk music. They are too cunning for that. Rather than the folk mode of action and climax, the McGarrigles portray song with thoughts of relation and communication, the end seeing twist of irony. Kate & Anna's voices are what should be pressed onto a record if folk music is to be distributed as a product. They conjure images of Montreal's French aspect. You're in a club or, more aptly, a pub.

For me, these harmonies are the song's lyrics. Not knowing the language on my part enhances the quality coquette mystery. You don't get bored. "Walking Song" is beautiful, as it lingers around love images.

Page fifteen Prodigal Sun �RECORDS Tim Moore, White Shadows (Asylum) Carole Bayer Sager (Elektra) There must be a never-ending quest for songwriters to do justice to their songs by performing them themselves. After 411, it took Carole King a number of years to sit herself in a studio and record her own albums, the second one ( Tapestry) of which went on to sell millions. With King to lead the way, a really perplexing question still continues can the composer do his/her songs the best? year after year seems to be the common pattern is that the composer either What album and another artist picks up a song for his/her own records an just writes the songs and they are gathered by recording purposes or interpretations. The two releases I have their first other artists for examples to of each musical path taken. chosen review are history behind him. A few years prolific a Tim Moore has quite Song category for his composition first the Best prize in ago, he landed Song Festival, American and recorded it on his first "Charmer," at the album, Tim Moore. Also on the album was "Second Avenue," picked up by Art Garfunkel and made into a hig singfe. The album nver Sold, is now available in the budget racks and is worth at least twice as much as it is sold for. Moore's second album. Behind the Eyes, didn't sell well either, but gave the unlikely Bay City Rollers a single, "Rock and Roll Love Letter." White Shadows, the newest Moore release, is every bit as good as the first album, perhaps even slicker and cleaner. Whereas the.first album was dominated by the piano, the emphasis changes here to the guitar and the effect is a gratifiying transformation, bringing about a kind of "LA. feeling," not unlike that of the Doobie Brothers, Andrew Gold, The Eagles, etc. Then again, Moore has assembled a superb cast of musicians that answers the mystery of where the sou.nd comes from; Jeff Porcaro, Fred Takett, Wendy Waldman, Elliott Randall, Bill Payne, Ernie Watts, Wilton Felder, Harvey Mason, Leland Sklar, etc. The songs themselves are the absolute culmination of the talents of everyone involved. They are mainstream pop/rock tunes that could stand extremely well individually. Moore is a romantic in every sense of the word, stretching the form of the ballad every which way, each with a unique new insight. He is also a very capable musician, often handling more than one instrument per song. Tim sings passionately, and somehow his voice has the air of sincerity about it, a very important element. The lyrics match the man'swinging perfectly, with the essence of honesty spread throughout the words. Even the most basic ballad of love sounds very refreshing, in this case, the lovely "The Light of You:" —r~ ' — Sip into something When my blue sky feels like it's falling through, Inside I stay bright with The Light of You. Moonlight, Starlight. ., |M1 sparkling seas of blue. Bright dreams but dim they seem compared to the L igh t of You. — 0 One of the most helpful factors on White Shadows is the backup singing of Michael McDonald, the recently-added lead singer of the Doobie Brothers. This album exemplifies my case against McDonald as a lead singer, but shows his virtues as a voice in the background. On the upbeat songs of this album, McDonald's deep tones add a pleasing, dark undercurrent. On the other hand, when he does the Doobies' leads, the vocals are too muffled to hear the lyrics clearly. There is a misfortune, on Side Two, a song that passes as clever called "Little Bo's Peep Show." This cut simply does not fit on,an album mainly devoted to the ins and outs of love. It is hard to believe Moore included it, for it is downright unwanted. The production of Michael J. Jackson is inspiring, and the string cause Campbell of David almost never arrangements over-sentimentality, but go overboard with the last cut, "To Cry for Love."

Perhaps you remember his upbeat and catchy "Save it For A Rainy Day" which briefly crashed the AM charts a few months ago but then just as quickly disappeared. It had an all-star cast with STEPHEN BISHOP CARELESS Chaka Khan singing background vocals, Russ Kunkel on drums and a nifty guitar solo by Eric Clapton. It was a song about an improbable love affair. If she’s got everything she needs What does she need me for? I'm just a crazy fool coming back for more i Do you remember it now? I didn't think so. Nobody knows what allows a record to succeed certainly quality and originality.play a big part. Yet if those were the only criteria then Stephen Bishop would be a star and his album Careless at the top of the popular music charts. But nobody knows who Stephen Bishop is, and Careless is one step from the $1.99 rack at J.C. Penny's. It's a shame, too, because it is a rare pleasure that really deserves to be listened to. That's not to say the album is perfect because it's not. There are far too many love songs here of the "Tears on my Pillow" school, and they tend to become boring when be unmistakable to you and that's good. Not so good is the t one song ends and e fact that you begin to forget where "Careless," for example, other begins. The title track, Roll Slave.

Or, listen to work of "On and On" which features the electric guitar ("Lonely out Andrew Gold who now has his own single Boy"). "On and On" has that tingly summer sound which lets you know that school is almost over and the long, hot days almost here. And while it's true it was probably recorded for last summer, can we here in Buffalo be so very particular? Finally, "Sinking in an Ocean of Tears" will leave you humming it under your breath until you finally break into the chorus which in one sentence is catchy, touching and funny and all at the same time! ".. .And all / wanted was one more kiss." —Keith Friedlander You will love this album. I do. - — run together in strings of four or five a side. Also, there is a certain melodic repetitiveness throughout most of the songs that is perhaps both bad and good. After you've listened to Careless a few times you'll never not know whether that's Stephen bishop playing on the radio. It will Steve Hunter, Swept Away (Atco) combines Steve's searing guitar with intricate vocal When I saw the Peter Gabriel concert in the harmonies for a pleasant, mellow effect. However, it Century in March, it .was surprising that, although is not until the next track that the listener begins to the show was gifted with the immense talents of realize Hunter's diverse talents.

Steve has been a studio the first chance one gets to hear his vocal abilities, session guitarist for the past few years, working with which at first sound extremely odd, but then seem such people as Lou Reed, and Alice Cooper, and quite appropriate for this type of folk-blues song. most recently as "full frontal" (or lead) guitarist on The style changes twice more before the close of Peter Gabriel's solo album, over the likes of Mr. Side One. With "Rubber Man,/' Steve displays a Fripp. feeling for the funkier side of jazz-rock fusion, while Now Hunter has a solo album of his own, which on "Of All Times to Leave," the combination of demonstrates his depth and versatility as a "rock" acoustic finger-picking and sweet-jazz electric guitars guitarist. The album is a collection of some rock give a subdued, lamenting feel to the piece. classics along with a few old traditional folk songs, as Side Two is a sort of "theme" side, the theme well as some new material written by Steve. His being that of water, the sea, and its immensity. The first track, "Jasper Street Viaduct Gitar Rag" is the odd song out on this side. The combination Of Steve's finger-picking and Jimmy Maelen's incidental percussion creafe a rag that is on the level'of any by Scott Joplin. The next cut is most likely the finest on the album. It is a slightly up-tempo version of the Brian Wilson song "Sail On Sailor," the arrangement of which has more feel that the original version. It is primarily an instrumental, except for the chorus of: "Sail On, Sail On," allowing the bluesy style to carry the song instead of the lyrics. The addition of latin percussion makes the opening to the title track, "Swept Away," sounds a bit like a typical cut from Sergio Mendes and Brazil '77, but that is where the similarity ends. Special effects, and special percussion give the song a feel of Nick Drake, Five Leaves Left (Antilles/lsland) the sea, waves lapping on the shore, and screaming Death has not brought fame to Nick Drake. Five Leaves Left his gulls as you are being 'swept away' to a tropical last and only available album, collects dust wherever fine, records are paradise. "Sea Sonata" is essentially a love song sold.

Why?. Why did this English super trio wait nearly two and a half years to 'spew out a double record disaster? The package, entitled Works, contains three sides of individual solo attempts, and a fourth side of the complete band. Side One, Keith Emerson's, isn't to be recommended to anyone but the more classically oriented. One piece, entitled "Piano Concerto No. 1," stretches the length of the entire side. The composition is broken into three movements. Emerson tries his hand at classical orchestral arrangements,-with the aid of John Mayer and the London Philharmonic Orchestra. His arrangements are good, but he stumbles in the same manner Rick Wakeman did on Journey to the Center of the Earth. When your audience is made up of rock enthusiasts, and you try to peddle pure classical, your piece may Be grand, but the' clientele will label you an artsy-fartsy fool, nonetheless. What happened to Emerson's fine classical rock compositions of * yesteryear? The Undergraduate German Club and the UUAB Film Committee present The Last Laugh Side Two, Greg Lake's product, contains the most interesting material, consisting of five songs in which Lake strums guitar and sings. His voice is as strong as ever, but the lyrics are somewhat confusing. ‘'C'est La Vie," the most popular F.M. cut off the album, has that characteristic ELP sound in their earlier discs. Many of Lake's words present are excellent, but often drags his confusion. I think thrown in to spund they're not consistent, and he accomplishments down with some of his lyrics are merely good, having no actual meaning Rainier has proven his perucussion expertise in the past, but I really don't think he has the musical ability to lead an entire side. Emerson lends an arranging hand on two cuts, including a fully orchestrated rendition of an old ELP favorite, "Tank." The new version sounds decent, but we've heard it before. Carl, stop trying to use fillers! Side Four, enlisting all three members together, is the biggest disappointment. Aaron Copland's "Fanfare for the Common Man" opens. Give up! This song was a jam in the studio, and on the turntable it sounds awful. Keith Emerson has already tried adapting a classical composition, with the bombshell Pictures at an Exhibition. Can't he learn from his mistakes? The other song, "Pirates," fares somewhat better. A ballad about buccaneering, the lyrics border on the absurd, but the music is excellent. When listening to this song, ignore the vocal track. This musical score, though overly orchestrated, is one of the only sounds reminiscent of ELP of yore. In reviewing this album, I kept getting the impression that these musicians think they are holy. The title and album cover would be more befitting to Beethoven. The inside portraits, with a glowing light emanating from each, give the impression that this disc was handed down from heaven. This set is tabled Volune 1, Volume 2 is already in the, works, to be released after their extensive summer tour. I have'been an avid ELP follower since their incarnation in 1971 with Emerson, Lake, & Palmer. After such masterpieces as Tarkus, Trilogy, and even Brain Salad Surgery, this concept is a great disappointment. They have evolved much in the past two and a half years and their new writing style may, indeed, take greater skill, but it is merely because they have taken on the added task of orchestrating themselves. excessively. Carl Palmer's handling of his side is hardly worth mentioning. Joe WaJsh, of all people,- helps You, the Gods, have given us the Works. Maybe Volume‘-2 will restore bur faith in thee on "L.A.

There are a few songs, however, which do stand out from the rest. "I Don't Feel That Way No More is the most haunting part of the album, and is not as superficial as the material that accompanies it. Even better is "Gone Too Far," with its energetic melody and brilliant refrain. The duo also makes "Where Do quite an I Go From Flere" sound interesting accomplishment for something written by Parker McGee This short description doesn't do the album sufficient justice. Let's just say that if you liked Nights Are Forever, you'll love Dowdy Ferry Road. —Eugene Zielinski B.W. Stevenson, Lost Feeling (Warner Bros.) B.W. Stevenson has never been an exceptionally successful performer, although he did gain some recognition a few years ago with Three Dog Night's "Shambala" and his own recording of ''My Maria." With Lost Feeling, he obviously hopes to recover some of that lost fame, for this must be his most commercial effort to date The trouble is that, in his quest for success, he has sacrificed too much of his identity; Lost Feeling isn't really a B.W. Stevenson album. At times he sounds like Bill Withers, or Gregg Allman, or any of a host of other Southern Fried rockers. In addition to this, the songs themselves are poorly chosen. Even "Down To The Station," easily the best cut off of the album, sounds tired and predictable after the first few listenings, a defect heightened by the unusually lackluster production. Lost Feeling is an embarrassment to Stevenson, mainly because he seems to be capable of so much more than what he shows here. Perhaps on his next effort, if he gets a better producer and choice of material, his real talent will show through. —Eugene Zielinski Friday, 6 May 1977 , The Spectrum .

Although I was not flagrantly misquoted, there were some remarks taken slightly out of context, and one statement which* I would promotion To the Editor. Last week, on April 27, a major victory was scored for those advocating the decriminalization of marijuana. A Marijuana Decriminalization Bill (S. 4481) was voted out of committee in the Senate. This is the furthest that any bill of its kind has progressed in the upper house of the State Legislature. Although the chances for passage of the legislation are good, they are not great. Many legislators would prefer a weaker marijuana bill, or prefer to table the bill altogether. The New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) along with SASU and NORMAL, is advocating marijuana decriminalization in New York State. In conjunction with NYPIRG’s drive for decriminalization, UB NYPIRG and other local NYPIRGs throughout -the state are encouraging students to write their state Senators calling for an end to criminal penalties for marijuana use.

One such incident was written up recently in the New York City newspaper, Soho Weekly News. The story, about how goons with clandestine ties, to the Taiwanese Embassy attacked such a forum at Columbia University exemplifies this fact. It is well known to every citizen of totalitarian countries like the Phillipines, Taiwan and Chile who reside in the U.S. that they can be controled by legal and illegal means, that their governments are interested in their every word and movement lest they give “the inside story” or participate in frowned on (labor, leftist, free speech) activities. At meetings of a dozen or a hundred where Chinese residents attend, the Taiwan government has spies whose notes, photos and tapes record what happens.

Nothing in the column indicates that Mr. Rotundo is even adequately, not to say exceptionally, informed or perceptive. He does not appear to have read any of the rather considerable body of television criticism and theory which is now available one issue of TV Guide at age nine does not qualify. Mr. Rotundo’s “article” is simply a not very sophisticated rephrasing of already out-of-date cliches. The “question of television” has been dealt with by many more knowledgeable professionals than Mr. Rotundo whose uneducated opinions promise to be far more boring than the material, however bad, which he proposes to criticize. To mention only one specific criticism of the column: I doubt seriously whether Mr. Rotundo was even old enough to watch Playhouse 90, or whether he could know whether it was good or bad or for what reasons, and he neglects to cite the source of information which cannot be first-hand. He seems ignorant of general and informed concern over the lack of Playhouse 90’s and also seems ignorant of attempts in the last two years to develop dramatic materials of genuine .equality.

At a meeting of department faculty members Tuesday, George Levine, Provost of the Faculty of Arts and Letters, announced that appointments expected not be made. Current University orchestra conductor John Landis will not be rehired when his current one year appointment expires. In addition, there will be no replacement for this year’s Director of Jazz Studies. Levin© said the cuts were necessary because of a $135,000 deficit in the budget for the Faculty of Arts and Letters. Strong reactions to the cuts were aired by music department faculty and students. “This will be devastating to our jazz program,” declared Edwin Gordon, Studies Director of the search committee for a new Jazz. “Out of over 100 candidates, we were able to find one of the best qualified individuals in the country for this position. Now the program, jazz which entire two would consists of 3 courses and 150 participating students, is likely to disappear.” Gordon also said the department’s two jazz ensembles, involving 40 students, would be terminated. Eliminating two orchestras Far more serious, says Music Chairman William is possible the elimination of the two University orchestras. “Without a conductor, our community orchestra can no longer exist. And to keep the Philharmonic, I’ll have to divert a faculty member whose expertise is not in conducting an orchestra.” The two orchestras involve 80-100 students. anger Student high, is according to Undergraduate Music Student Association President Clark Saunders, who declared corrective action will be taken. A boycott of activities on the University’s Community Day is now being planned. Music events comprise a crucial part of this event. “We want all music students to boycott those events,” said Saunders. “When there is no music because there are no players, knowledge of f the administration’s actions must be given to the community.” Department Thompson, Chairman Thompson reiterated Saunder’s point. “The orchestras perform vital public relations functions. They are two of the University’s most important contacts with the community, and quality of education for students inside and outside the department will be severely diminished with their passing.” Although provost Levine told The Spectrum it was “still not the completely decided” that the cuts would take place, Thompson insisted that he and colleagues were told there was “only a slim chance” of preventing the cuts. Reg Gilbert Special panel to assist Ketter in GLS decision UUAB films 10:00 A special panel of administrators and students will make an official recommendation to President Robert Ketter concerning the Group Legal Services (GLS) proposal to provide students with free legal representation. According to GLS director David Brownstein, the panel will be made up of four administrators and four students and overseen by Associate Vice President Anthony Lorenzetti. Brownstein will be one of the student panelists. University Gouncel Hillory Bradford and GLS attorney Richard Lippes will present their views about the proposal to the panel. The proposal has been questioned by Lorenzetti for possibly not complying with SUNY-wide guidelines for use of student activity fees. Bradford has maintained the proposal does not adhere to those guidelines, while Lippes and Brownstein believe David Brownstein that it does. An official recommendation will then be issued to Ketter. The recommendation will not be binding, Brownstein said. Should the proposal' be? declared legal, GLS could start representing students free of charge immediately, Lippes said. If it is turned down, Brownstein and Lippes expect to take their case to State Supreme Court.

Southfield, Ml. 48075 �Weekend action Baseball Bulls will face Canisius today A busy weekend for the baseball Bulls has begun. Today they host Big Four rival Canisius at Peelle Field at 3 p.m. Tomorrow, they travel to Colgate University for a pair of games, and Sunday at 1 p.m. they return to the cozy confines of Peelle Field for a twin bill against Ithaca. Add to that a doubleheader at Penn State yesterday, and the Bulls have seven games in four days. The big strain will be on the Bulls’ pitching staff, which hasn’t been doing extremely well anyway. For the season, the Bulls have averaged nearly a walk per inning, and have an ERA of 5.04. The Bulls have been led by Bill Casbolt, a senior lefty who has put in fifteen appearances already this year (the record is 17). Casbolt owns the staffs best ERA (2.85), as well as a 4-4 record. Casbolt recently went 20 innings without allowing an earned run. Another lefty having a good year is junior Dave Borsuk (3-0, 2.95). Borsuk has been hard to hit this year, although his control has been a little off. Sophomores Ron Mero, Mike Betz and Rick Brooks also have looked good as starters on occasion, and looked bad on other occasions. Hitting well The Bulls strength, however, is their bats. Led by big Mike Dixon, Buffalo has outhit their opponents so far this year. Dixon, batting .433 with four homers and 21 RBIs, has been on a hot streak all year. Leftfielder Joe Vizzi and catcher Phil Ganci also have been on hot streaks lately, and they join rightfielder John Pederson, shortstop Jack Kaminska and secondbaseman Mike Groh as Buffalo’s leading batters. Buffalo has beaten Canisius once already this year 10-4. Today’s game vVas originally scheduled as Canisius’ home game in Delaware Park, but because of the poor condition of the Held there, the game has been swtiched to Peelle Field. However, it is still the Griffins’ “home” game,and Buffalo will probably baf first. Buffalo will face Colgate for the first time this year on Saturday. The Bulls won the team’s only decision last year, 2-1. Buffalo will meet Ithaca on Sunday for the first time since the fall of 1975. Improvement at Albany Golfers finish second to last at Penn Invite It has been a difficult year so far for the golf Bulls. They have beaten only one team thus far this season (LeMoyne) while compiling a 1-3 record. They also had a rough time over the weekend at the Nittany lion Invitational at Penn Statei Monday, they did quite a bit better at the Schaeffer Invitational in Albany. At Penn State, the Bulls finished 14th of fifteen teams, beating only Duquesne. Mike Hirsch was Buffalo’s top golfer, carding a 245 for 54 holes (par was 72 for 18 holes). Hirsch was out of the running quite early, as his score of 124 after 27 holes was 14 strokes behind the leader, and placed him 75th overall. Engineers sink Will cement canoes float? Have you ever wondered if floats? That’s the question that this University’s Civil Engineering Society has answered. The student chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers last week held their annual concrete canoe race, at Princeton University. The event, which draws some of the top engineering schools in the East, was a huge success, both in the water and out. The Buffalo team finished eighth out of a field of eighteen, which was surprising considering that their two entries sank. The concrete canoes also contained a lightweight aggregate called perlite. A reinforcing steel mesh was placed over the wooden mold for easy construction by the skillful hands of Marty Gauthier and Mike Ader. concrete Improvement at Albany Sink or swim The two canoes from Buffalo, one weighing 117 pounds and the other 246 pounds, ran into difficulty as the 400 yard race progressed. The team of Paul Kubicki and Emad Faddoul made it to the finals, but lost the last round race when their canoe sprang a leak. At Albany on Monday, the Bulls finished fourth of 19 teams, as Formato had Buffalo’s low score of the day, an 82. Hirsch had an 85, Davis an 86, Caffarelli and Quirin a 90 and Kazuba a 95. However, the tandem of John Schmidt and Phil Schmitt had a rougher time in their races. They Newcomer Greg Kazuba had Buffalo’s second best score, a 250. Marc Davis followed with a 252, Tony Formato scored 257, Jim Quirin shot a 258 and Steve Caffarelli shot a 261. entered the semi-finals, but didn’t finish as their canoe sank halfway through the race and the two brave oarsmen needed rescue assistance from the cold, murky waters of Princeton Lake. Carnegie Mellon University, sporting the lightest canoe at 97 pounds, was the runaway winner with a time of two minutes, 53 seconds. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, with their canoe built “solid” at a whopping 510 pounds, finished the race as the closing ceremonies were ending. Although many of the boats sank, the three-day event still served as an excellent learning experience, and Buffalo’s team is already optimistic for a better finish next year. Buffalo was awarded the cement fish award for their sportsmanship and enthusiasm, impressing the other entrants with their club, their school, and the city of Buffalo. RIPPED OFF! The Bicycle Compound is officially opening today Rny student who wishes to register their bicycle, please do ao at the Bicycle Compound. RNOTHER STUDENT ASSOCIATION SEAVICE. Part of the problem, explained Bulls’ coach Bill Dando, was the tough competition. Buffalo also hasn’t had much practice time recently because of the rainy weather last week. “Our kids aren’t playing good golf,” Dando said. “We can’t get on the golf course to practice.” The Bulls final meet of the 1977 spring season will be this weekend at the Eastern Intercollegiate Golf Association Championships at West Point. Dando is hoping that the Bulls’ scores will be a little lower at West Point. “We played Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, so at least we’re getting some playing time now,” Dando said. The Bulls are not even playing as well as last semester, when the team’s scores were in the high seventies or low eighties. With the Bulls’ season ending this weekend, they won’t have much time to regain their previous form. Friday, 6 May 1977 . The Spectrum . Page twenty-five �CLASSIFIED Sociology prof joins Sheriffs Department Last chance for classified Erie County Sheriff Kenneth Braun announced this week that Dr. Robert E. Ford, from the Department of Sociology, will serve as new Chief of Operations in the Sheriff’s Department. Ford will be on leave from his University position for at least a year. The position that Eord was appointed to is a newly-created one, replacing the position of inspector. As Chief of Operations, Ford will supervise the Department’s internal operations, including handling the budget, payroll and personnel as well as distribution of manpower. The position is the third-ranking position in the Sheriffs Department (under the Sheriff and Under-Sheriff), and pays between $15,968 and $19,836 a year. Ford cited many reasons for accepting the position. “If you teach area of law enforcement like I do, it is important that you get as the in much experience in the streets as you can. I worked in the Chicago streets before I came here,” Ford said. Ford is currently an assistant professor of Sociology at the State University of Buffalo where his field of specialty is Criminology and Penology. He is a graduate of Niagara University, and spent a year in the Chicago police operations on a research grant while studying for his doctorate at the University of Illinois. “He came to SUNYAB in 1969, “wearing a purple heart’ Ford joked. Ford will continue meeting his classes this semester and will work on Saturdays at the Sheriff’s Office to make up for the lost time. “I hope to make the Sheriff’s Office a more efficient and humane department,” Ford said, when he was asked what he hoped to accomplish. “I would like to help Sheriff Braun keep his campaign promises.” CHARLIE’S Men’s Hair Styling r"" • SUB t BOARD?

Needless Pevelopment Corporation (UDC), - Nuclear plant protest captures national eye by Jay Rosen Staff Writer Spectrum Organizers of a massive occupation of a proposed nuclear power plant in the tiny resort town of Seabrook, New Hampshire succeeded in capturing national media attention Monday when over a thousand demonstrators were peaceably arrested. The arrests capped a full day of demonstrations and meetings that began and ended in a relatively sedate manner. The demonstrators started their occupation of the site Sunday afternoon, setting up rows of brightly colored tents, vowing to remain there until plans for the $2 ’ billion plant were dropped. A group called the Clamshell Alliance, which organized the event, called the demonstration a major success, citing the turnout of about 2,000 and the smoothness which characterized the day’s proceedings. One of the meetings involved New Hampshire Governor Meldrim 1 Thomson Jr., an ardent supporter of nuclear power. Thomson was flown in by helicopter early Monday afternoon, requesting an audience with the governor. The demonstrators sent messages through the chain link fence that separated the protesters from the 300 odd policemen and state troopers summoned from throughout New England area. ‘We’re going to stay’ Surrounded by reporters and cameramen, Thomson met with six of the activists, urging them to end the occupation. “Your point has been well made,” he said. “I doubt that I could persuade you and I doubt that you could persuade me, but, that is America.” The demonstrators were not impressed. They claimed they would not leave. The next meeting, characterized as “an elaborately polite and courteous one,” was with Col. Paul A. Doyon, the Commander of the State Police. Doyon gave the protesters half an hour, saying: “I would like to encourage you to call it a weekend.” He,also warned the press to leave, adding that they would otherwise be subject to arrest.

They then reported back to the colonel, announcing, “We’re going to stay on the site.” Mutual thanks were exchanged, and both parties returned to their respective camps. • Lockport Expressway, in order to improve regional access to the campus, from the west, south and east. “We wish to be firmly on record in support of this project and will provide every assistance early its towards possiblq Traffic need seen speedy and On the other hand, the Town construction he said. of Amherst, the UDC and this completion,” Telfer also claimed that the, University’s administrative boards is necessary in order have overwhelmingly agreed that expressway the heavy flow the Lockport Expressway is a to accommodate traffic foreseen for necessity in light of future traffic of commuter the Amherst Campus in the near ' projections for the Amherst area reveal that by and the geometrical inadequacies future.

' According to Pat Giagmacova, Program Coordinator for the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, “The expressway will not be going through a virgin forest. The area in which it will be located has already experienced sufficient urbanization and minimal environmental impact on existing conditions.” Giagmacova explained that the expressway will not go through the wet' lands situated around Ellicott Creek, as originally planned, but will circumvent those areas in accordance with the “Wet Lands Preservation Act” of 1975. A begrudged Amherst resident, who will be forced to give up his home because of the expressway, said, “If wildlife and wooded lands are reasons to move an expressway route, why aren’t ‘human rights and lives’ as justified?

Some protesters went limp as troopers approached, forcing the officers to carry them from the site. Arrested demonstrators were given identification numbers and bused to a local armory. By nightfall, over a thousand prisoners had been taken. Several reporters had also failed to heed Colonel Doyon’s warning, and were subsequently arrested. Several of the protesters were Western New Yorkers, trained together as an “affinity group” representing this section of the country. These groups contributed strategies and suggestions as to how the protest should be launched. Though the demonstration’s impact on the nuclear industry cannot be known immediately, opponents of nuclear power await public reaction, the most potent weapon is the anti-nuclear arsenal, before judging success or failure.

Speaking to'Slate University (SUNY) student media representatives recently in Albany. Dickenson apologized for last year’s difficulties, acknowledging that “a lot of grief occured in many homes” of SUNY students when TAP checks did not arrive in time for tuition deadlines and Universities demanded payment. She explained that 1976-77 marked HFSC’s first year of computerized processing of TAP application forms, and the old form proved poorly suited to automation. ‘The computer inflicted its logic on the TAP forms,” she explained, and rejected them for the slightest mistake. The biggest problem occured. however, when the new “Honeywell 6060’< broke down completely while the first applications were being processed. Until batch °1 this year the applications had been processed by hand, but the. New York State Legislature had called for a “corporate restructuring” of HESC.

The new form eliminates the extra form for declaring financial independence for students over age 22, and cuts the number of items for parental income from 39 to 13. Dickenson explained that 2000 test copies of the application were sent earlier this year to college students in the Albany area, and the “clean rate” (processdble form) was significantly higher than last year’s. The Student Association of the State University (SASU) is currently sueing HESC over the alleged unconstitutionality of TAP’s age 22 limit for requirement of an emancipation form. Dickenson remarked that such' a legal action would be “a massive diversion of energy” for her and'HESC. According to some Albany sopkespersons, however, TAP is still' in &d shape and Dickenson herself under considerable pressure to resign.

All of the women involved were delegated different tasks in committees to assure effective execution of the plans. WSC hopes to make its program more visible to women throughout the SUNY, and CUNY system, as well as in the community at large. The focus of the conference is on women’s studies programs in the University, and issues will be discussed that pertain to the survival of these programs, initations of new programs, and further growth of the pro gams already in existence. The conference will attempt to analyze the history and development of women’s studies as an educational area, and will provide forums for dialogue around key curricula and program issues, as well as the concerns of women. The participants will also discuss effective ways of, building support networks and communication avenues between programs. Interaction among participants will hopefully be maximized, and exchange of resources will be encouraged. Exposing the myths WSC has decided on a format including three hour-long panels, with each panel made up of three women. The first panel, entitled: “What Does Women’s Studies Study and Why?” will expose the myths and stereotypic images’which distort women’s lives. “The negation of women’s role in history has generated new research and new perspectives on the real role of women in history, and women should be encouraged to learn them,” said Patty Shank, a conference organizer. This panel will also address such issues as the importance of recognizing women’s different social realities, and analyzing the impact of ra*, class and sex oppression. Following the panel will be a workshop, which will move from the general scope of the panel presentation to the specific concerns of the different participants. The workshops will , include discussions on sexuality, lesbianism, and Third World women. Other topics that will be discussed are: “Developing Interdisciplinary Courses From a Feminist Viewpoint,” and “Developing a Cohesive Program.” The Colleges’ opposition to hierarchical methods of education has raised issues on “How to Teach and Who Teaches Women’s Studies?” This panel deals with questions such as: What are the best forms in which to teach women’s studies? Does Women’s Studies need new forms? The panel also considers collectivity as a feminist structure, student teaching, and how to meet the needs of older women. The workshops following the panel will scope specific areas of the questions dealt with in the panel. The workshops will include: Education As Consciousness-Raising; Teaching Racially Mixed Classes; Teaching and Learning Collectively; and Women’s Studies , ■ i College Poetry Workshop. Viability of WSC The third panel, “How Can Women’s Studies Programs Maintain Their Connection to the Community and Society at Large,” speaks to the problems that arise from changing economic and social conditions that affect both women’s studies programs and members of the community. This panel will also explore the viability of women’s studieis connection to social issues and groups, and the problems encountered in attempting to extend women’s studies into the community, as well as the University. The workshops following this panel include: Working With Women’s Projects In The Community; Tensidns and Obstacles of Beginning a Women’s-Studies Program; The Struggle For Survival: Issues and Strategies; and Why Should Women’s Participants and attendants, as well as panel and workshop initiators, will be arriving from all areas of the state. The CUNY and SUNY systems will be widely represented, and student groups and faculty from Albany and Brooklyn, Oneonta, Farmingdale, will reside in the homes of college members, students, friends and faculty. Communal breakfasts will start the day off, and child care will be provided for anyone who needs it. “We hope this will convey the warmth of our welcome, and help people get to know one another,” said Tina Leib, a conference organizer. Social events Social and cultural events will also take place throughout the weekend. There will be a wine and cheese party on Friday night. On Saturday there will be a communal dinner, with a fee of $3.70 for faculty, and $2.00 for students. Following the dinner gi|ll be a feminist folk-singing and poetry coffeehouse. Another main feature will be an all-women’s dance at the Allentown Community Center on Elmwood Avenue. Women’s art work and photography will be on display, and a mobile unit will be set up by EMMA, the Buffalo Women’s Bookstore. Registration for the conference wilj go on through Friday evening. May 6, between 6 and 10 a.m. at the Faculty Club, and Saturday morning from 9-10. Registration forms are at Women’s Studies College.

This summer the committee plans to study available data on sex-related incidents various affecting students on campus. Greer explained that rape is not the entire problem.

Initially, we expect to publish the Anthology as i inexpensively as possible. This may mean, for the first issue, a volume bf reproduced typescript. As soon as' may be feasible, we look forward to, putting out a regular hard-cover type-set book. That would be after the project proves itself in practice, with a quality product. Once a proper editorial system is established, a new number of the Anthology can be published whenever sufficient copy is ready for the printer. In brief, that is our proposal. A few words on the organization of the Student Writing Group: the undersigned organizers are mostly ad hpc\ there are not many of us, but we don’t want a more elaborate structure than we need. What we do need for the Anthology in addition to a nice flow of good manuscripts and writers willing to re-write are a bank of initial screening editors, a number of advanced a editors, undergraduate and few senior graduate/faculty editors to staff three levels of the overall editing process. We al|,o need typists and one or more production helpers. And some money, of course. We are applying, in the first instance, to Sub-Board for starter funds to cover production of the first volume, and to pay typists. (We expect to apply soon for other grants elsewhere.) Eventually, we would like to be in a position to give some money to the hardest-working editors. And to pay all writers a word-rate. It could be big. The best writing on campus, very well-edited, regularly produced in print. We hope it will encourage writers here at Buffalo.

We want student writing of.any kind, of all kinds. not its subject or form or The quality of the writing is what interests us. We are asking to original purpose look at term papers, essays, independent writing by ambitious students, accounts of personal experience, and a wide variety of journalistic writing. Almost anything perhaps even a really good letter home. Students who submit writing for inclusion in the SUNYAB Anthology must be prepared to undergo ami participate in a strenuous process of editing and revision. Indeed, this is the heart of the matter. Our purpose is to publish writing in order to encourage the good, the better, and the writing on this campus writing by Buffalo students, graduate and best jrndergraduate. To achieve this end, revision and editing are called for. This editing process is additionally necessary since we see superior writing as non-professional, of broad interest and appropriate aspiration, and .addressed to a general lay pudience. So, for example, we would welcome work by a student in chemistry or linguistics or engineering or dentistry -or any of the special but only if written or revised for departments comprehension by a non-technjcal readership.

Dean Kahler will never walk again. Time has helped ease the horror of May 4, 1970. But the hidden truth behind the killings grows like a tumor. A special Ohio grand jury report absolved the National Guard and the Ohio authorities for the killings of four students and the wounding of nine others. The grand jury instead indicted 25 persons linked with the demonstration. The reports by. the President’s Commission on Campus, Unrest made shortly after events of May 4, show that the killings were unjustified and unnecessary. And yet there is not the slightest chance that anything will be done about it. More than a year after the fact, following an 8000-page report made by the Department of Justice, Attorney General John N. Mitchell was able to say with a clear conscience, that he was (CPS) — It seconds., Twenty-eight Conspiracy The most serious challenge to information released by the Justice Department was made by Peter Davies, an insurance broker in New York who was a firend of Arthur Krause, father of one of the students killed on May 4. Davies contends that there was a conspiracy among guardsmen to shoot and that the plot may have had its roots in the White House. Davies has been one of the most diligent investigators of the Kent State shootings and his studies are compiled in his book, The Truth About Kent State; A Challenge to the American Conscience. In testimony given to the FIJI, the guardsmen from the front-line G Troop claimed that their lives T. P. PRODUCTIONS presents NATALIE COLE the Gang Brick Friday, May 13 8:30 pm Memorial Auditorium Kool were in danger. “I feared for my life from the time we split on the initial move toward Taylor Hall. I did not feel panic. I felt that if we wouldn’t have shot at them, we would have been run over and killed,” said one unnamed guardsman. ‘They had hate in them and I felt they were trying to kill us. I was very scared,” said another. “. we had a thousand people going to do the best they could to prove to the student union they could kill anything I that stood in their way would have shot sooner if I hadn’t froze to protect my life and my com«pany’s life,” said still one more guardsman. “satisfied that the Department has taken every possible action to justice.” However, serve testimony from guardsmen* students and eyewitnesses to the shootings which has surfaced as a result of both criminal and civil suits have spawned facts that virtually collide with each other, serving anything but the truth. & «- .. ... Self defense Remarks by the Guards are incredibly ■ similar, indicating to Davies and others that the self-defense was a fabrication by the guardsmen. Even the FBI doubted the credibility of the testimony. In a secret report prepared in the Justice Department in July 1970, read on the Senate floor by Sen. Stephen Young (D-Ohio), the FBI said that it “had reason to believe that the claim by the National Guard that their lives were endangered by the students was fabricated subsequent to the event . . The Senator’s speech received no attention. It went unreported in the press and it took ten days for the story to reach Ohio. Over 3000 photographs taken at Kent State on May 4 proved even more damaging to ,the guardsmen’s alleged lile-or-death situation. The closest student, Joseph Lewis, shot while making an dbscene gesture to the guard, was 71 feet away. Jeff Miller, killed instantly, was .265 feet away. Allison Krause the 329 feet from stood who killed her. William guardsmen Schroeder was fatally wounded at a distance of 382 feet and Sandra Scheuer, who bled to death when a bullet severed her jugular vein, was 390 feet away from the troops. ‘ , the staggering distances make the Guard’s claim of self-defense not only ridiculous but contemptible. Not one of the guardsmen who aimed and fired at the students . . . could successfully have argued self-defense as a civilian before a district attorney. But Americans have evidently come to regard the uniform as sacrosanct. If soldiers say they fired in self-defense, they did, since military men never he,” says Davies. “ .. Gag order Files recently released from the FBI managed to skirt the entire issue of conspiracy, and dwelt on such things as a complete chemical analysis of the rocks and debris found in Allison Krause’s jacket and around the area of the shooting. Further information about the events surrounding the killing on May 4, 1970 has been blocked indefinitely by a gag order slapped on pre-trail information in the civil suit now pending in Ohio. “It really bugs me,” said Davies in New York last week. “That’s so much goddamned liberal trash, the first trodden interested. State puts Amendment upon, is being no one is The very word Kent the press off... it’ s outrageous!” said Davies. Of course, Kent State does not stand alone as an example of the abberatioh of the truth. The murders of black students at Jackson State and in Orangesburg have never ( 1968) been investigated thoroughly. Could it happen again? “Why not?” says I.F. Stone worked on his own who investigation of Kent State in his book The Killings at Kent State: How Murder Went Unpunished. I.F. Stone admitted Sadly, from his office in recently Washington, D.C. that he is no longer looking into the events of May 4, 1970 but had “all the respect in the world” for Peter Davies’ work. It’s been seven years since the nation read about Kent State. Students who were'there that day speak with visible horror on their faces, and their voices waiver when they remember, as one student did specifically, the moment the guards turned in unison, lowered their rifles and began to shoot. For one father, Arthur Krause, it’s been hell. “It’s getting harder and harder,” said Davies about Krause. “He’s been in the cemetery for seven years and he wants to get out.' He can’t.” Next week there will be scattered memorial services around the country commemmorating the Kent State killings. Kent State University has decided not to cancel classes.

Trudeau Holt, Rinehart & Winston A story of four young people Reprinted by permission from the Akron Beacon Journal May 24, 1970 , (Ohio) —; Sandra Lee Scheuer, 20, of Youhgstown, was a junior majoring in speech therapy. She lived in a two-story house a block and a half from campus where her room was always neat, her bed always made. She drank hardly at all, an occasional wine or couple of beers. She had smoked marijuana a couple of times, but never really wanted to get stoned because she didn’t want to become dependent on anything. On Friday night (May 1, 1970) when the kids were breaking windows on Water Street, she was at the Moon-Glo roller rink. On Saturday night when the ROTC building burned, she was studying for an exam. On Sunday night when students sat down on the street, she was in her living room. On Monday, she had just left a speech therapy patient, a boy with a lisp that she was trying to help. She was walking across the parking lot trying to get, away from the turmoil when a bullet hit her in the neck and cut her windpipe in two. Jeffrey Glenn Miller, 20, of Plainview, N.Y., was a psychology major, and transferred to Kent State in January from Michigan State.

There is only the recollection of a time when return of varsity football to this campus and now it’s students made great personal _ sacrifices for idealistic my turn. First, in keeping with the general tradition of principles, and a trail of sullen, rhetorical headlines in The these praiseworthy pieces, much credit goes -to Spectrum, the best of which asked, "They shoot students, Dennis Delia, but as Student Athletic Review Board Chairman, not as SA President. I believe that even if don't they?" Dennis had lost the election for SA President, his Dando can garner certain considerations from various administrative sectors of the University. For instance, Dando could significantly improve his bargaining position if he could offer to each potential starter, instead of a single at Ellicott, a wing at Clement. Football players need space, you know. For local talent, Dando should be given the latitude to offer promising high school seniors guaranteed parking in Tower Lot at any hour of the day. Admittedly, this may make other commuting students a bit riled, but everybody has to give a little if Buffalo is going to win. One of the keys to a prospering, successful program, though, will still be adequate funding. Costs are always rising, and it would be nice if pre-campaign efforts would still have led to the return of football. And as usual, praise goes to the Clark Hall people, the Alumni Association, and even the society's traditional channels which at least would say, President’s pffice which offered as much anonymous- sources other than, SA and the Alumni Association support as possible.

Needless to say, we were disappointed, and a school, also returned a Division III erltry to fat and ugly. But putting logistics aside, the theory behind bit amazed. But it provided a convenient example of competition following many years without football. Like Buffalo, Chicago had found that football was the return of football to Buffalo was the sport’s perverted justice and a haywire society, and an ironic too expensive and too domineering on campus. catalytic capability to inject some life into this The return of that team at its first years school, and this argument is certainly plausible. least in confirmation of some of the good reasons students took to was impressive, the UC eleven attracted considerable However, the prospect of a varsity football team also demonstrating in 1970.

Not revenge, but a resolution through - Graduate fee referendum - .. whether to continue to pay the student activity fee. The referendum vote is required every four years by the SUNY Trustees. In the fee referendum which accompanied the undergraduate Student Association elections this semester, the student activity fee was overwhelmingly reapproved. The imperatives for continuing the activity fee are clear: The $67 a year fee supports not only the activities of the Graduate Student Association, but also funds the services provided by Sub Board, the student corporation. Sub Board provides UUAB concerts and films, Group Legal Services, the student pharmacy, and an array of income-generating activities. Although there are persistent problems in administering the fee to everyone's satisfaction, the fee's demise or even the withdrawal of the graduate students' share could wipe out these vital student services. As we said of the undergraduate referendum, graduate students owe it to themselves to support the fee. - - The Spectrum Vol. 27, No. 81 Editor-in-Chief — Richard Wednesday, 4 May 1977 Weighty complaints Korman To the Editor.

It is common journalistic practice to preserve their anonymity due to the very nature of the crime. Only when specific names shed further light on the case are they included, for example, in the case of a dubious rape victim such information might expose its illegitimacy. However in this case, no parties question that these women were victimized. But by whom. The inclusion of their names serves no greater purpose than to cause these specific victims undue discomfort and to further intimidate future victims from coming forward. Perhaps if the reporters were more involved with responsible journalism, then with the Kenneth Johnson support group, such thoughtless negligence could be avoided. Anne Swern Jon Appleseed Stan Pritzker Participation and the elite To the Editor Football as well as any athletic endeavor is very appealing to me. However, in the long run 1 do not believe it is in the individual interest to depend on someone or some institution for entertainment. 1 admit that it is much easier to watch an elite athlete perform, while in the meantime we sit back, have a beer, and criticize or commend that person’s performance. Applied to government, it looses the active participation of its citizenry and results iri an inefficient beauracracy. Intercollegiate football will become more expensive with the years and more elite in player quality. While spectators will drink more beer and get more argumentive and become less able to release the tension in physical athletic participation. Such behavior may be acceptable for old folks. However, I believe that solutions to future problems need much more consideration on the part of individuals “variable” qualifications and less dependence on another’s dictates.

It deals with our campus security and their method of ' giving out parking violations. As a commuter who goes to classes four nights a week, I ajways park at the meters at the Main circle between Crosby and Foster..From the beginning of the semester until tonight (April 25), I never once received a ticket. I also never saw anyone else receiving one either, even though it said, “violation” on their meters, as well as in mine. Well, now that daylight savings has gone into effect, the folks down at security figured it was safe to leave their cars to start giving out tickets for overtime parking at 7:30 p.m. They are 100% correct in giving out those tickets, but why after 4 months did they decide to start now? This question bothered me, so I called up Main St. security and thought they might have an explanation. The girl who answered my call informed me that writing tickets wasn’t their only job, they were usually busy handling emergency calls. I was’feeling sorry for them, thinking that after 4 months of emergencies, 4 nights a week (when I had my classes), they deserved a raise. Then I remembered seeing the police cars parked in the corner of Goodyear Lot, just sitting there in the middle, of the day doing nothing. I also thought of all the cars parked in the circle in front of Goodyear despite the no parking anytime signs, none of them with tickets. Then finally, I recalled my car parked in the Goodyear Lot, broken into and my tape deck and CB stolen. I realized that this wasn’t their responsibility, but if they are not performing their duties, or worse still, if they only sometimes enforce the laws, something is wrong. The officer I spoke to said I should consider myself lucky for not getting pther tickets in 4 months. I don’t think I’m so lucky. Security should enforce all laws consistently, not decide one day it’s against the law and the next it’s okay to park because they don’t feel like writing a ticket.

No private insurance company will insure a police officer due to the stressful nature of their occupation. t I do not support loitering, and I thank Campus Security for keeping loitering off the campus. I think that the Police Blotter serves a beneficial function for the campus, f.e., we now know what is happening. I don’t think sexual freedom is a form of loitering when it benefits the campus on the whole, including masturbating, which is against the state Many thanks law. I believe it is a victimless crime.

Board of Directors, CSKA, Local No. 602 Mr. Tan’s letter assumption that Mr. Tun had made regarding the purpose of Mr. Hsia’s (Consul General ridiculous To the Editor - from Taiwan) visit to Buffalo. Mr. Tan stated that I would like to clarify some misunderstandings "the visit of IIsin has come to none but to spy on created by the letter from Mr. Mong Heng Tan extra-curricular activities of our students here from published in the April 2‘Mh issue of The Spectrum. Taiwan." f rom this statement, it seems that Mr. fan first ot all, I do not understand whether that had been spying on the secret activities of Mr. Ilsia letter was written to represent Mr. Tan’s personal during his stay in Buffalo, or else how can Mr. Tan views or was he writing to represent the political views ol Graduate Student Association, China Study diplomat. How can a person or several people spy on Croup, Chinese Student Assiciation, GSA Foreign the activities of several hundreds in a Student Affairs Committee and the U.S.-China lew extracurricular days when these so-called “spies" do not even Friendship Association of Buffalo. If Mr. Tan were know the students nor is familiar with Buffalo area expressing his personal views, I wished that he did to follow any student. Isn’t it silly that a spy enough not have to go through all those organizations which who is coming to spy on you, tell you a month he belongs to. because it is very misleading to the ahead to let you know that he is coming, so you reader. It sounded as it it were a joint statement by people can prepare yourself? those organizations. On the other hand, if he were Finally, I sincerely hope that.Mr. Tan was not lor those organizations (of which I am member of representing all the organizations he belongs to when the Graduate Student Association, China Study he wrote the letter.

The reason you will be oblivious to your own good sense and the advice of friends is simple. You will be up against a company, where employee you meet is an experienced salesman. Working togehter they will mold your mind, selling you on one idea after another. A company with 100 years experience in persuasion.

After reading both Monday’s and Wednesday’s issues of The Spectrum I have come to a carefully [well thought out opinion, that 1 find necessary to share with mv fellow students. First of all, I would like to state that 1 publicly support the idea (please note, I said idea) of college credit instead of a stipend for those active in student government. However, in its present form the Leverendum is not, can not, and will never be my idea of college credit for student government. What the Leverendum asks us as students to do is to dissolve the present student government and replace it with a series of what Lev calls “Government In Action” courses. What it does not state (and I repeat, does not) is that who is scheduled to teach the first course: no one but our sponsor Lev. Furthermore, the summer course is not even a recognized course, because DUE has not decided on it yet, but who can blame DUE when a 37-year-old ex-fruit vendor who has no more of the necessary skills to teach the course than say Atilla the Hun tries to push this bullshit by them. Simply stated the Leverendum calls for the , HOURS: R-illiards ■ ipping on the Wrapper '<> abolishment of SA and the awarding of the $900,000 budget to Lev for disbursement under his guidance. In this form, there is no way that 1 will vote for it, because if 1 am going to pay $67 a year in student fees, then goddammit I want to have a say in how it is spent. While our present form of government is not the best that we can possibly have, it is still better than the one Lev proposes. It is time that all students realize that Lev is trying to take out all his political frustrations on us, the undergraduates. It is time that Lev realize that if he can’t play by the rules, then he should not play at all. (This refers to his recall David L. Seitelmen JT-. 'til 4 a.m. and Jukebox 836-8905 3178 BAILEY AV6.

Furthermore, I would like to say that if any of my fellow students have seen Lev give his rap in Haas under the title of the “Cosmic Wrapper” then they know that his real name should be the “Cosmic Crapper.” Therefore, fellow Students, it is time to stick up for your rights, and to tell Lev where he can go with his petitions and his desires for power. — <a’i PL AC a 1 OPEN AT LAST 656 Millersport at Eggert LARGEST VARIETY HOT & COLD SUBS - Open Daily 12 midn igh t Friday & Saturday 10 a.m. l a.m. Sunday 4 p.m.—12 midnigh t 10 a.m. — 1%.

Wednesday, 4 May 1977 214 Squire Hall by Friday, May 6th. to �I UB track club wins 1977 Big Four Conference Paul Cizdziel.'and intermediate hurdler junior Greg Willis. by Jeffrey John Spectrum Staff Writer Earlier in' the year, Buffalo’s track team was all but written off as a possible local track power. In fact their veVy existence was in serious doubt. However, it is now apparent that someone forgot to inform coach Walter Gantz and the team that they were “out of it.” Saturday at Buffalo State the University of Buffalo track club humbled the varsity teams of Buffalo State, Niagara University, and Canisius College to earn the title of 1977 Big Four Conference Track and Field Champion. Riding the wake of a surprise victory (the Bulls thought Buffalo State would win) in the 440 yard relay the Bulls amassed 58 points while State scored 49, Niagara 48, and Canisius 23. Comprising the victorious relay team were senior Paul Kubicki, sophomore Larry Williams, and freshmen Barry Calder and Bob Reiss. Gantz overjoyed 1 Besides the relay the Bulls had four other individual conference champions. They are senior shot putter Walter Halady, high hurdler Larry Williams, freshman pole vaulter Buffalo’s coach Walter Oantz Said before Saturday’s meet, “We’re getting tired of losing these things. It’s not that winning is the most important thing, it just happens to be that aspect of competing I find most enjoyable.” Gantz obviously found the meet enjoyable and although he is considered very strict regarding training rules, he and advised his team to “go out and celebrate tonight you have, my permission to get drunk.” Gantz, an associate professor in the Speech Communications Department, donates his spare time to train and organize the Bulls’ track club. His devotion and spirit personify what seems to be a growing interest and excitement about track and sports in general at Buffalo. The Bulls’ track squad has been growing in size and quality every week. One of the main reasons for Saturday’s win was that for the first time in two years Buffalo had men entered in every single event and, in another new development, Buffalo was successful in scoring points in every one. New athletes who contributed substantially to the Bulls’ win'were freshmen field event men Tom Ertmann, Mike Bader, Tpm Egan, Nick Saccomano, and John Jaremko. New freshmen runners Eric Luckman and Steve Dickoff also contributed. Dickqff had been training for the .. .. —John school’s intramural track meet when he decided to try out for the team. He not only easily made the tqam but helped score six points while competing in two events Saturday. Veterans come through The bulk ,of Saturday’s scoring came from Buffalo’s seasoned track veterans. Scoring in the distance runs were senior John Ryerson, sophomore Mike Fischer, and freshman Kenneth Dole. Scoring in the 440 and mile relay were freshman Mark Hines and junior Pete Schiffler. Sprinters Reiss and Kubicki added points in both the 100 and 220. The win Saturday gave the Bulls a 44 record. Chances for a winping record this season are excellent as the Bulls will wrap up their dual meet schedule next Saturday against the same teams. “We’re looking ahead to next year,” said Gantz. “Next year both cross country and track will regain varsity status. Virtually any Buffalo student who can make it to the team meetings will make the team.” Gantz urges all interested students to contact him via the Speech Communications Department if interested in competing next year. “When the next season begins, we’ll be ready!” .Gantz said. Bulls trounce Buff State 16-5 by Joy Clark Assistant Sports Editor The baseball Bulls walloped the Bengals of Buffalo State, 16-5 Sunday at Peelle Field. The Bulls needed only nine hits to score all those runs, but were helped out by the Bengals’ three errors and 14 walks. Freshman Luke Owens started for the Bulls. After an easy first inning, Owens got in trouble in the second and allowed a run on a walk and a double. He, got the side out 1-2-3 in the third and held the Bengals scoreless in the fourth before tiring in the fifth. After getting the first out on a grounder, Owens walked Mike Guerrucci. The next batter flied out, but then Frank Brown beat out an infield grounder for a single. Paul Mangano walked to load the bases. Frank Badaloto stroked a single up the center to score Guerrucci and Brown. At that poir nl, Owens was Rick Brooks replaced Owens (who lett the game of the-win). Brooks got the th the inning on a pop-up. In the next inning, Joe Jacob, outfielder George I'll is and Guerricci walked with one out.

Berdennikov, of the Permanent Mission of the USSR to the United Nations (U.N.). His presentation Thursday evening at the Buffalo Forum on Disarmament in the Fillmore Room is the first of three planned events. Berdennikov noted that everybody would lose because “human civilization would perish under the radioactive ashes.” The series of events were organized to facilitate an “open exchange of ideas” about disarmament, according to Philosophy Professor James Lawler, who is the chairman of the forum. On successive Thursday evenings, a speaker from the U.N. Center for Disarmament, and one from the United-States Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, will make presentations. ’ Berdennikov, a Soviet disarmament expert, said the Soviet Union is extremely interested in developing relations with the United States based on the agreements that were reached in the period from 1972-1974. Detente in the political sphere must be “backed up” by detente in the military field, he said. Calling the problem of arms limitation and “paramount importance,” disarmament of Berdennikov also expressed concern about the “considerable portion” of human and material resources he said that are wasted for the “tools of annihilation. Misplaced blame? Berdennikov cited several agreements that have been reached in the past by the United States and the USSR, including the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons treaty, as positive cooperative efforts. However, he said the current impasse in the bilateral Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) negotiations between the two countries is being incorrectly presented to the public by the Western press as the fault of the Soviet Union. Berdennikov said the U.S. and USSR agreed at Vladivostok 1974 to ban the development erf all new types of strategic offensive weapons and to conduct 'relations on the principle of “equal security” and on maintaining a stable “balance of strategic forces.” But Berdennikov claimed recent ,U-.S. proposals put forward by Cyrus Vance violate the Vladivostok agreements because the U.S. has since developed a new strategic offensive weapon (the cruise missile) and wants it excluded from the current discussions. The U.S. in turn has pointed to the Soviet Backfire bomber as a new strategic offensive —continued on page 2— The SpECTI^UM Vol. 27, No. 80 State University of New York at Buffalo Monday, 2 May 1977 Amherst Campus SteinEut announces end to State constructionfreeze by Tom Batt Contributing editor Stanley Steingut,, Speaker of the State Assembly, announced at a .dinner here Thursday evening that the state is going to work immediately to market $12.6 million in construction bonds for the restart of the Amherst Campus construction. The announcement followed a declaration earlier that day by Donald Cielewich, Regional Director of the Marine Midland Bank, that five local banks would buy the first S3 million in short-term notes, bringing the total to $15.6 million. The state had demanded the local S3 million commitment as a prerequisite to its release of the $12.6 million. Though financeers are not presently lined up for the larger sum, Erie County Democratic Chairman Joseph Crangle said that state officials had a tentative list of buyers. Number one priority Steingut’s proclamation signals the end of a construction freeze which for two years has kept the future of the Amherst campus uncertain. “All things being equal,” said Steingut, “we in the Legislature are dedicated to working with you and seeing the whole construction process expedited as soon as. possible.” The Assembly leader’s appearance follows a Wednesday announcement by the SUNY Board of Trustees in which it reaffirmed the Amherst Campus as the number one priority on its list of construction projects. The $12.6 million is part of $56.6 million allocated by the Legislature over the past two years for the Amherst Campus. The money was not spent because of the state-imposed freeze on building. The money, which must be acquired soon if builders are to take advantage of the entire construction season, will be used to complete the Biology Greenhouse, a service building, a warehouse, roads, a utility network, and landscaping. Steingut said it could be two months before the state funds come through. Three other buildings the Music Hall, the Chamber Hall, and the Educational Communications — Center will be financed by federal monies if Congress passes President Carter’s $4 billion Public Worlds Bill, New gym imminent Representatives of the local construction trades estimate that 600 construction workers could be on the job at Amherst within 60 days if the’state acts swiftly to supply the SI2.6 million. One structure which is through the planning state, but at present has no funding, is the Physical Education field house and locker facility. Dropped from the Carey budget last January, the Legislature was unable to restore the athletic facility in its amendments. Officials here, however, are now working to get it reinstated in the Supplemental Budget which will be passed this summer in the Legislature. “I went into the Bubble and was terribly dismayed,” said Steingut. “In, fact, 1 was embarrassed. 1 promise you, we will add your gym to the list of needed construction.” Saved the other half Preceeding Steingut at the podium, several local construction leaders, noting an unemployment rate among their trades as high as 85 percent in certain areas, urged Steingut to act immediately in getting the new infusion of construction cjollars in Amherst. “Mr. Speaker, we exhort you to resume construction,” said Donald Blair, President of the Building and Construction Trades Council. “We cannot afford to wait.” Local economists and business leaders feel that the resumption of construction at the new campus will be a significant stimulus of Buffalo’s depressed economy. General unemployment here ranges from 11 to 14 percent. University President Robert Ketter, after citing the need to complete Amherst before the conversion of the Main Campus to a health science can take place, presented Steingut with half a construction cap —symbolizing the new campus’ half-complete state. “We’ve saved the other half,” said Ketter, “and when the campus is finished, we’ll be happy to present it to you.” The Speaker of the State Assembly, Stanley Steingut, at three junctures in his tour of the 40 percent completed Amherst Campus; being presented with one-half a construction helmet by President Robert Ketter (top); on the inside of the Bubble (middle); at bat in improvised softball game outside the Ellicott Complex. Steingut announced an end to the state construction freeze at a dinner Thursday night. �r Sub Board I, Inc. Amherst Diy. People’s Power Coalition Buffalo State conference willfocus on public utilities “A conference on the energy crisis and its solutions,” is taking place next weekend. Sponsored by the People’s Power Coalition (PPC), the Saturday May 7 conference at the Buffalo State Student Center will deal with publically owned power in general, one of the most effective moves for lower rates. The grass roots organizing for greater control over the nation’s utilities has been the suprisingly fast growing movement of the 70’s. A part of this trend, Buffalo has witnessed the growth of the Western New York PPC, a group of community organizations working for rational energy use, to the benefit and under the control of the large number of average people who must use utility services to live. Organizers to speak The conference, which has a $2 registration fee for low income persons, has the purpose of “developing ah energy program which the people of Buffalo can fight for, centered around conservation, renewable sources of energy, and community/worker control.” Another main purpose is to “focus attention on the advantages of public ownership and control of local utilities.” Scheduled events include speakers on a fairer rate structure (emphasizing the needs of the poor), the actual nature of the energy crisis, and how to plug into the local efforts for change. Organizers for public power, activities in the energy movement, environmentalists, and union representatives are among those who will talk. Also to take place will be numerous workshops concerning topics such as conservation of energy, the evils of nuclear power and natural gas pHce deregulation, alternative sources of energy, and on various aspects of public power. Concluding the conference will be a speech on “Building the energy movement in Buffalo,” and a mayoral panel, in which candidates “will be given five minutes to discuss their support or .opposition to public power and a winterization program for Buffalo.” The day Will end with a 9:00 party at the Gold Spring Warehouse, 167 Leroy Avenue at the corner of Fillmore. Tire varied and exciting music of the Outer Circle Orchestra will entertain the conference goers. Interested persons can call 856-8469 for further information or transportation.

Simpson reported that the Peace Center, in Backfire bomber is not a strategic offensive weapon because the weapon is not capable of delivering Buffalo, as well as similar organizations around the nuclear warheads to the U.S. He said it was only country, has been working to cut the military designed to counter U.S. .missiles that are presently budget.

Berdennikov explained that the Soviet Union against the United States. “Is this true,” he asked? insists on the “strict limitation” of this new strategic offensive weapon, not because the U.S. would have a No incentive Berdennikov said that it wasn’t true, charging monopoly on this new weapon, but because it will only fuel the arms race. “Life has shown us that the that the military-industrial complex in the U.S. has a Soviet Union has always succeeded in catching up vested interest in escalating the arms race for private with the U.S. in the development of new weapons,” profits.

Problems policies of the United Sta'tes and the People’s arose over whether Soviet backfire missle and Republic of China,” emphasizing the point several American cruise missle should be included in the times throughout the forum. agreement. Berdennikov stated that the backfire Berdennikov feels it is too early to conceive of missle is not a strategic offensive weapon and could the outcome of SALT II.

There will be no time for deployment of Berdennikov stated the U.S.S.R. is open to any armies or fleets.There will be no winners.” . • Editor’s Note: The following was edited from an article written by Irwin Silber, Executive Editor of The Guardian, a New York based left-wing newsweekly. . It is the common impression in this country that the Soviet Union, if not already militarily superior to the United States, is at least near to being so. Widely dispensed in the U.S. media, the statistics always seem to support that assertion; the figures have usually been uncritically reprinted from Pentagon sources. But those figures falsify the picture in two major ways: in comparing only the U.S. to the USSR instead of U.S./NATO to the USSR and its East European allies; and in using figures that selectively omit mention of comparitive quality or quantity. A good example of both techniques is found in military arguments that “Soviet military manpower is now more than double U.S. forces,” using the words of former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. ... (i Inflated figures It is true that the United States has a military of,2.1 million persons, compared to 4.8 million in the Soyiet armed forces. Unmentioned is that, according even to the Defense Department’s own intelligence' agency, two million of those Soviet personnel perform duties carried out by civilians here. Fpr example, 430,000 Soviet troops are used to patrol borders, and for internal security. In the U.S., these people are in the National Guard, or the Immigration and Naturalization Service, and are not considered part of the U.S. military. About 250,000 other Soviet soldiers are construction workers, doing work that in this country is contracted out to civilian construction companies. Using comparable figures, then, the numbers gap is considerably less: apprpximately 2.1 million U.S. personnel to 2.8 million Soviet. What even this comparison does not take into account, of course, are the forces of the two superpowers’ European allies: the combined troop strength of the 12 major NATO allies, excluding the U.S., is about 3 million. By contrast, the combined troop strength of the Eastern European Warsaw Pact countries, excluding the USSR, is roughly 1.100,000. • Soviet Navy weaker Perhaps the most spectacular assertion made in the entire debate has been the charge that the Soviet Union has now replaced the United States as the world’s foremost naval power. And, with a total of 232$ ships, the Soviet Navy would indeed appear to have the edge over the *478 vessel U.S. fleet. But once again, the figures are deceptive. The great bulk of the 2000 plus figure consists of small coastal ships and escort vessels. Much more to the point is a comparison of total tonnage and firepower. In these terms, U.S. naval superiority is abundantly clear. The U.S. fleet, with 13 giant aircraft carriers and a total of 179 major combat surface ships, has roughly twice the tonnage of the Soviet fleet. “Just one of this nation’s aircraft carriers,” declares a former Pentagon systems analyst, “contains more effective firepower in terms of bombs and missiles, than all the firepower on all the 1000 plus ton ships in the entire Soviet fleet.” One of the few areas of actual Soviet superiority is in submarines, 270 compared to 152 American. But the edge in crucial nuclear powered attack subs is less; 80 to 65, and since 1966, U.S. annual production has been 8 to the Soviet 7. « JEWISH STUDENT UNION presents "NATURAL BLEND" U.S. airpower overwhelming Finally, in the area of airborne nuclear power, the major topic of discussion during Thursday’s Fillmore Room panel on disarmament [see page one article], U.S. strength is clearly overwhelming. A comparison of the numbers of missiles 2350 Soviet to 1710 American is the basis for plaintive military whimpering that the United States will lose an air war. What is not taken into account, however, is that the U.S. has many more warheads on its missiles than the USSR, has many more planes capable of dropping nuclear bombs on Soviet soil, and maintains a ring of nuclear installations which go right up to the Soviet border. “Altogether,” according to Lee Aspin, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, “the U.S. can hit the Soviet Union with 8500 nuclear weapons, while the Soviets have only 2800 at their disposal.” None of this is to suggest that Soviet military might is not growing. In the past 20 years the Soviet armed forces have developed at a spectacular rate. But to suggest at this time that the U.S. has somehow become number two in military prowess or in its willingness to use that might is either a call to jingoism and an aggressive foreign policy, or downright irresponsible. In either event, it hardly corresponds to facts. Country Rock at its Finest!! Saturday Nite, May 7th — — at 9:00 pm Millard Fillmore Room 50c Admission — - FREE BEER AND WINE!

Now I admit that I have been known to carry pictures of Woody in my wallet; true, I once wrote a vituperative letter to The Spectrum accusing a staff plagiarizing of writer the comedian. It is even correct that I often identify with the fact that Woody wears glasses and is particularly ugly. But regardless of the fapt that I am a self-confessed Allenphile, my following critique of Annie Hall is a purely objective attempt at setting Allen into a sociological focus, as opposed, that is, to salivating all over the page about him. Of course, if you believe that, I’ve also got “some land in New Jersey up for sale.” With WHO SET UP SB & RUNS THE STUDENT HEALTH PHARMACY? the * Journey through issues Annie Hall is a landmark film for Woody. In addition to ionly bpng hysterically funny (“Masturabation is sex with someone I really love.”), the film journey . through is a the emotional and intellectual issues which dominate the spirit of our times. In no particular'order, the film deals with relationships, love, intellectualism, self-actualization, the decadence of the West Coast, the nucleav family, Anglo-Saxonism, Anti-Semitism, and,- of course, sex. But it is the way in which Annie Hall confronts these ideological issues which gives the film its essence.‘Through a variety of mutli-media techniques, Woody has created the perfect paradigm for life in the Seventies, a time when our fantasies are in tension with the realities of our neuroses. With neither the Chaplinesque slapstick of Sleeper, nor the intellectual esoterica of Love and Death, Annie Hall succeeds in portraying the true agony of life. Although Woody is adverse to acknowledge any ‘themes’ in his work, I defy anyone to leave the theater without re-evaluating his own relationships, his past, and to a certain extent his comic future. * Illuminates paradoxes Life is taken seriously in Annie Hall. Both Diane Keaton (who is remarkably effective as Annie) the illupiinate and Allen inherent our in paradoxes dreadful existence. At one point in the film, Woody is urging Annie to take adult education courses so can further her mind. But that Annie’s romantic involvefnent with her professor F met by Allen’s assertion that adult education is meaningless. It is these conflicts and man’s ultimate inability to control them Which is at the heart of the film. But the importance of Annie Hall is that the comedy not only poses the questions, but it helps the viewer enjoy finding answers. The superficiality of a couple’s first encounter is burst open by the use of subtitles which reveal the actual intent of the speakers. At another point in the film, o fA'NG c O/,. . Fantasize to escape The humor in Annie Hall not only prevents the viewer from growing dfespondent over the epistemological questions posed, it also reveals an intrinsic part of Woody Allen’s and Marshall Brickman’s (co-writer) defense mechanism. Rather than the of materialization McLuhan seeming absurd, it comes off as a comic antidote to the strain of society on the individual. Allen once said that he lives in a “rich fantasy world” and it is that mythical environment which keeps him from totally cracking up. Jules Feiffer uses tap dancing as a metaphor for that very same defense. Indeed, we all fantasize for the purpose of escape in one form or another. It is Woody Allen who wants us to recognize, refine, and defend our fantasies against the encroachment of cosmic tentacles. Inventions” on the piano. And who never said, ‘Oh, wow,’ or wore anything marked Pucci or Gucci or listened to country and western dialogue music or But even if this radio. exists Goddess Allen’s in literature, she cannot exist for long. Love and relationships are transient and Woody will not ajlow himself to forget that painful lesson, even if it is “only a . Ideal woman transient But enough of these dabblings in psycho-societal interpreation. Annie Hall is ultimately a love st-ory, one man’s search for a story.” And so Annie Hall ends a little sad, a lot funny, and with a fair amount of food for thought. But I am certain that the comedian of companion and the universal flaw the seventies would not want us -to dwell upon the finer aspects of whether or not we exist.

Left wing reporters in Africa, however, have reported that the rebellion began with the return to Zaire of many exiled Katanganese the patriots, radicalized by Angolan civil war last year. They had originally fled Zaire mpre than ten years ago during the civil, strife that eventually brought Mobutu to power. Their return, according to informed sources, sparked a popular uprising that very quickly posed a grave threat contradicted to the'government’s power. Asserted to this day in the traditional press is the strength of Zaire’s 40,000 man army. The left press has consistently reported on the army’s, disintegration, mass desertions and even a large defection to the rebel forces. The sudden and massive French airlift of 1500 Morroccan troops, allegedly to be followed by an equal number if necessary, and the French strafing, bombing, and use of napalm on rebel held villages, indicating the situation fo be far more serious than the traditonal press has acknowledged regarding the month and a half old conflict. Other inaccuracies It was widely reported that the rebels were mostly members of a particular Zairean tribe, and allegedly fighting for seccesion from Zaire’s Shaba province. Eyewitness reports, however, indicate that the freedom fighters are multitribal, and in their own words, are battling for liberation from Mobutu’s “fascist Zaire’s dictatorship”, and by domination Western imperialism. In partial siipport to , these contentions, CIA participation in Zairean the conflict was implicated in a Los Angeles Times story oh mercenary recruitment in the United States. The Times reporter found that David Bufin, a former mercenary in Rhodesia Angola, and has admitted 80 Americans for recruitjng mercenary activities in Zaire,'paid for by $80,000 made available to him “by interested parties." Bufkin claims that he is working with the CIA,, though the agency denies it. In further revelations, the editor of the mercenary' magazine Soldier of Fortune told the large circulation left weekly The Guardian that “The CIA is so intertwinfcd with that whole aspect of our society (.mercenary recruitment) that they can’t help but be involved.” ■ Reasons for the massive Western support for the Zaire government are many, but it is clear that a stable, pro-Western Zaire is extremely significant to the Slafe Department’s plans for southern Africa. President Ford openly acknowledged that Zaire had been the conduit for U.S. aid to- the Western backed forces in Angola during its recent civil war. Zaire had also militarily supported the FNLA, a large CIA funded “liberation” movement in Angola. With the rapidly changing political situation in Rhodesia, Namibia, and South Africa, the continent’s three remaining white-ruled apartheid states, Zaire is important to U.S. plans for'a “moderate” solution to rising black anger. That solution has repeat'edly, stressed the neutralization of growing black militant movements. Specifically, a neutral progressive or government in Zaire would make more difficult U.S. involvement in southern Africa’s stabilization.

Page seven �EditPrml L_ More about Lev Put up the booths The Student-Wide Judiciary made a mistake last week ,in delaying the referendum on whether to re-form Student Association (SA) into a credit-granting course. The decision to uphold the Temporary Restraining Order submitted on behalf of SA by President Dennis Delia prevents the referendum from coming to a vote until a hearing is held between SA-officials and SA Elections and Credential Chairwoman, Gloria Gerber. Gerber feels the referendum is legal and we agree. The petition circulated by self-styled campus prophet Michael Stephen Levinson (Lev), is the first completed under the present SA Constitution. It clearly complies with the letter of the law in carrying the validated signatures of at least one-tenth the undergraduate population. We think the provisions in the Constitution which pertain to referenda are excellent in allowing ideas to be put before the student body with this admittedly minor requirement. Lev's success is not just a tribute to his persistancy, but an indication that there is a widespread dissatisfaction among the University students with those who administer the student activity fee. Members of the Delia administration feel unduly criticized at the beginning of their tenure. The criticism, though, is not directed only at this year's government. It is a response to a succession of medfocre leaders who have not only failed to capture the students' imagination, but have managed to earn their suspicion. Delia believes that a precedent should be set in which boundaries are formed on what are legal and illegal petitions under the Constitution. He has also said that the proposed referendum violates student activity fee guidelines approved by the SUNY Trustees. He's wrong on both points. Although there is no precedent for petitions submitted under this Constitution, setting one by introducing another criteria for what is a legal or illegal petition is tantamount to changing the rules in the middle of the game. We think Delia and the Student Senators who support his challenge ought to uphold the Constitution and not maneuver to circumvent it. Additionally, the only terms used in the existing activity fee guidelines to denote the administrator of the fee is the "representative student government." Delia's saying that such a- government fnust be elected is not confirmed anywhere in the existing guidelines. Besides, why would that be a reason not to honor a valid petition? We think Levinson erred in accepting Delia's logic that a course must exist before the referendum is held. This only served to confuse the government for course credit idea itself and its practicality, with whether a duly completed petition ought to be recognized and the Constitution executed. A Word of note: This is not an endorsement of the student government for course-credit idea. That concept, if approved, would pull the carpet out from under every service and agency currently funded by student activity fees, including this newspaper. We will put off any further discussion until it is before the students. Right now, the challenge by SA appears to be an obstruction until the semester runs out. The Student-Wide Judiciary has an obligation to see that this referendum is accomplished before we go home for the summer. Modifying the Constitution to stifle legal referenda and the ideas referenda carry is bad government. The petition rule and it is a good one must be respected. — — The Spectrum Vol. 27, No. 80 — Managing Editor Managing Editor Richard Korman — — Advertising Manager Business Manager AHs . Books . . .

Gilbert The Spectrum is To the Editor I am in Dr. Powell’s Sociology 101 class. Today, for the fourth or fifth time this semester, Michael Stephen Levenson came into our class to plead his case. After listening to him again, I began to wonder how many people who have signed his petition really know what will happen if the Student Association is abolished in favor of Lev's course? 1. The government course for credit that has been approved for the summer and is given by Tolstoy College is not a course in practical government. The content of this course, according to its description, is to study past S.A. administrations, not to be a new §.A. with all the powers, of that organization. If S.A. is abolished we w ill be left with a course without any power to accomplish anything. What happens to our money then? 2. To have a course implies the presence of a professor. This means the responsibility and control of our money will be supervised by a non-student. Presently, all control and authority within the government rests with the students. 3. Do you realize how much time it takes lo be a good officer or senator? Four credits will not come close to covering the hours spent on the' course, anymore than a stipend pays for that time. 4, The money for the professor has to come from somewhere, and a professor gets a salary not a stipend. With the budget as- tight as it is. what department is going to create a position and pav a professor to supervise an active student government (Remember, the course that exists, is not an actm organization.) 5 Forgetting the funding, what professor his right mind would" want to dedicate the hours necessary to accomplish all that needs to be done; Lev, today, in class, said he was not sure he wanted the job. Who else does? Why are we jeopardizing something that .works for something that doesn’t exist?

Is a one party student government the best for all interested students or would an open course allowing every student to participate be the best? 1 dunno, but I signed his (Lev’s) petition and would like to see the matter decided by the student body rather than by a dozen people.

Although the members of Vico College are grateful for your article on' our new general education program, we would like to correct some misleading possibly statements. First, our distribution program is not “pending approval.” It isa fact: any student who wants a coherent general education program can take our basic courseswith no fear that changes in Iris major will require him to take other or additional courses. Our courses will serve as distribution for any major. Moreover, the college does not see its general education program as dispensing culture (we are not a pharmacy). Rather, our goal is to introduce students to some basic texts which have influenced the way men in Western culture perceive and respond to a variety of philosophical and aesthetic questions. Any more important, we hope'to teach in a coherent way the disciplines that allow us to respond fully to these texts and to understand how they can relate to contemporary questions. Your .article also gives the impression we are only a set of courses. Vico is* not simply addressing the problem of coherent general educations courses. Its ambition is to provide a full university life integrating academics with a' lively and serious residential program. And finally, we would like to suggest that your reportorial tone overlooks the seriousness of our experiment. We, feel it is crucial that these courses draw considerable numbers of interested students, if only to spur the University on to creating a series of general education options. We would be very grateful, then, if interested students either write us or come talk to us about their views on our program or their desires for other ways of constructing general education. Charles Altieri Chairman of the Fellows by the Graduate Student Association ft is mandated by the SUNY Board of Trustees that a referendum be conducted every four years among the -graduate students to determine whether the student fee should be collected on a mandatory or voluntary basis. This is one of those years. In essence this means it is up to the graduate students to decide whether or not their student government and the representation and services it provides shdll continue. The Graduate Student Association is the student organization which is responsible for graduate student government and activities on this campus. It is the liason w<th other student organizations, both state and national, for example, SASU and NSL, and it provides funds for the departmental student clubs, for individual GRAD projects, for access to 1 athleticfacilities, and for Sub-Board privileges. Most important, the GSA, both as an independent entity and through representation in the administrative structure of the university itself, is the advocate for graduate student interests'. Though the-administration often limits participation, even to the> epart of inadequacy, the GSA provides represenatives to university committees which define University policies. (or These advise' on) representatives, who are responsible to the GSA, which is in turn responsible to the graduate studenUbody, provide the only official input grad students have into the administrative proceedings of the university. And when this representation itself is insufficient. GSA can advocate graduate student views outside “official" structure. Without the GSA this advocacy is severely diminished. At the present time this fee is S9.5Q per semester ($19.00 per year) and is collected on a mandatory basis. These monies are administered by the Graduate Student Association and this year totaled $123,233. The disbursement of these funds is roughly as follows: .' Sub-Board 1: (concerts, movies, pharmacy, family planning clinic The Spectrum, h.thas, housing office, dental and legal services) 31.8 percent Department Clubs: (conference fees, speakers, films', entertainment) 29.3 percent 1 2.0 percent Secretarial-Expenses Research & Speical Activities(individual grad projects;-forums, other research) I 1.0 percent Graduate Student Association: expenses, publicity, stipends, transportation. Grad Post, handbook) 8.1 percent External & Student Affairs Fees: (SASU, SARB, legal, NSL, foreign, minorities, (operating women) 6.8 percent If the mandatory collection of the fees is not this year, the GSA will virtually cease to exist. students feel that this If graduate representation and the services provided should be continued, it is important that they vote to approve the mandatory collections. It is also important that they simply vote. The Trustees’ referendum requires that at least 10% of the graduate students approve. Now, it is up to us to decide. The referendum will be conducted from May 2nd to 6th. Ballots will be distributed to each approved department and balloting sites set up at each department and at the GSA office. If you have any questions, please call the GSA at 831-5505, or come over to 205 Norton. TRB See the bright yellow ore: just the thing for a child to make into mudpies; it is< called “yellow-cake;” it contains uranium, the key ingredient in the nuclear process. Uranium produces plutonium, a man-made substance aptly named for Pluto, the Greek god of the underworld. The Old Testament had another name for him and the place where he lived; in both cases he was the tempter. Today plutonium is the tempter, too; it may give us unlimited energy from its breeder-reactor. Or it may \ destroy us. ’ There's a grotesque touch about the whole affair. That bomb we dropped on Hiroshima, for example, in 1945; it essentially destroyed a city of 300.000. The bomb that did that had the sardonic name “Little Boy.” And the same whims went with the bpmb on Nagasaki ' that killed or wounded 80,000: it wgs “Fat Man.” (Flying away from Hiroshima Captain Parsons wrote in his logue that he saw behind him a cloud "40.000 feet high” and he never lost sight of it for “36.3 miles.”) Jimmy Carter is the first nuclear engineer to he President and the only one. I believe, ever to head a government anywhere. This coming'week he Hies to a summit conference in London 1 where he will, tell European leaders; among other things why he wants to delay development of plutonium as a future source of nuclear energy. Let it wait, he says. Proliferation was the subject of the first major foreign policy address- of the Carter election campaign. In a formal statement he came back to it with remarkable decisiveness on April 7. Hoy do you restrain the further spread of sensitive technologies which entail “direct access to plutonium, highly enriched uranium and other material fitted for weapons,” he asked and at the same time retain “the tangible benefits of nuclear power.” This question, he said. “1 have had under review from my first day in office.” Most of us probably weren't thinking about it. He has closed down breeder plants and asked other countries to do the same. By coincidence, on May 4 just before the President leaves for Europe. Richard Nixon gives the first of four exculpatory TV interviews with David Frost. Will we get another “lift of a driving dream?” He probably won't go into the subject of breeder reactors, which he endorsed. To be fiar to him, his endorsement followed the conventional wisdom of four years ago which was a lifetime in nuclear development. “At present,“Nixon told Congress on April 18, 1973. “development of the liquid metal fast breeder reactor is our highest priority target.” He also praised the “extraordinary safety record” of the nuclear program. Some day in his retirement he might read John G. Fuller’s book. We Almost Lost Detroit, which tells of six accidents at nuclear power plants since * - . 1952, culminating in the melt-down of the radium-active core of a plutonium-producing breeder-reactor 30 miles from Detroit and Toledo. Four million people went blithely about their business while engineers tinkered withe the Enrico Fermi reactor, unaware that a' mistake could trigger a nuclear explosion. The mind-numbing technological complexity made the press largely ignore the accident. In the same way they are today ignoring a series of colorlessly written official reports indicating that before lortg terrorists will probably get the bomb. As to Detroit, it was abput a month before the engineers cautiously decided that a local “little boy” would not, after all, explode. Mr. Carter is still much of a mystery to the government leaders he will see in Europe. (He is still a bit of an enigma also at home.) His decision to put plutonium on the shelf, for the time being at least, as a source of nuclear energy, causes suspicion and 'anxiety all the way from Tokyo to Iran and Brazil. The United States has lots of coal and uranium for fuel even if its oil runs dry they say: it is trying to create a capitalistic monopoly of nuclear fuel for itself, by cracking down on a certain type of reactor for less favored countries that has the incredible potential, when. perfected, of producing more fuel than it consumes? It is true that this breeder reactor also produces plutonium which is specially adapted for bombs. But isn’t that merely an excuse for a hypocritical United States to dominate the rest of the world? Mr. Carter’s appeal for support in his April 7 statement got a cool reception abroad. The Carter drive is directed against plutonium, not uranium, the conventional fuel used in most nuclear reactors. Uranium is costly but once it is “burned” it can' be chetbically processed to separate out the hy-product plutonium. Plutonium-239 probably is the most toxic substance known. A milligram inhaled will kill a man in hours. This devilish stuff also kernels bombs. Also, if and when it can be harnessed, it runs wheels, makes power and lights cities. That is the kind of gift that Pluto has tossed into our laps. Thp nomenclature of the nuclear age, incidentally, is driving , reporters nuts. What right-thinking Washington political writer knows the difference between “fission” and "fusion?” Or can distinguish between “light-water” and "heavy-water” reactors? These terms are getting into our hair, our lives, our language, and even, maybe, our politics. Take QUAD, for example; it thrust itself upon this qualiling reporter when he was trying to masticate: the Ford Foundation’s Nuclear Power Issues and Choices a $6.95 Ballinger paperback which is just on the verge of being comprehensible. A QUAD is a measurement of energy consumption: the U.S. now uses 74 Quads a year, and a single Quad is the equivalent of 1000 trillion BTU’s or, to put it cosily the energy from 500,000 barrels of oil a day for one year. Modern civilization is quad-crazy; the U.S. may use 110 to 120 Quads by Al) 2000. and other countries likewise. At that point we may need breeder reactors. But the blue-ribbon Ford Foundation panel pleads that we defer it “indefinitely,'’ in view of “terrorist” and other dreadful dangers. So does Jimmy Carter. Monday, 2 May 1977 . The Spectrum .

Control of health and business areas were cited as legalization’s major advantages. Prostitution was as much a part of the early West as the miners, cowboys and town preacher. Since many towns had few women, prostitution was inevitable, on the frontier, where sexual lust may have been as great as that for gold. Since prostitution was outlawed in numerous states in the twentieth century, it had to go underground. Nevada is one of the few states in the United States where it is either legal or openly tolerated. It is not legal in all of Nevada; only in certain designated areas. Symanski is convinced that the “Nevada approach” has considerable merit and so do most of the people ofNevada. - Prices vary In some areas there is an age restriction of 18 to 21, a work permit requirement, fingerprinting, photographing, and an extensive medical examination required for working prostitutes. These regulations are not always adhered to, but they are 'designed to protect customers from venereal diseases and women with previous criminal records dr who are drug addicts. These rules and regulations provide some of the best arguments for its legalization. The brothels themselves are also highly restricted; they must be enclosed by a fence, and are limited to minimal advertising. According to Symanski, prices vary. In larger brothels, girls get more business and know they can demand higher prices while in smaller houses the client is in a much better bargaining position. Waitresses, secretaries, sales people and university students are among those who become prostitutes. The principal motive for the chance in employment is money. simulcast time (having the same run simultaneously on both A,M and FM) must be reduced from 50 to 25 percent of broadcast tinie. He indicated that it is much easier to adhere to this ruling, by having WYSL on the AM dial, and WPHD on the FM band, with each station having a program separate identity. Taylor said that the differences between and WYSL WPHD programing include FM having no more album jingles, playing material, and having an altogether quieter approach. This mellower format is favored since research has suggested that people listen to FM longer and “you can’t shout at them.” According to Taylor, radio —Vazquez stations have to be bold if they want to get noticed, mainly because there are so many stations: 26 in Buffalo alone. WPHD/WYSL’s rating, as of the last Arbitron reading, was number one among teens. Taylor describes their AM audience as primarily 1 people who are interested in a good top 40 format, and their FM listeners as “anyone who wants to hear some new album cuts, but not lose the familiarity of of some good oldies and dibbles and dabbles of what’s being play on top 40.” He continued, “Basically, anyone from 18—80, or any human being alive.” Keep with times Taylor explained that he’s just make a living and is uncertain what he wants to do for the rest of his life. He claimed that “being a disc jockey becomes a guy trying to very difficult as you get older •because your age is so far above the audience you’re trying to appeal to, namely teens.” The problem heightens as the DJ becomes unacceptable to his Legalization favored Clients seemed to be as diverse as the prostitutes themselves. Some were truck drivers, college students, doctors, lawyers, married and unmarried. Some men felt that “diversity is a principal reason for going to a prostitute,” Said Symanski. In most Nevada brothels, the girls are “paid on the basis of what is requested and the amount of time spent with a girl.” A positive attitude toward legalized prostitution in Nevada is evident in the news media and by law enforcement officers and among people of all socioeconomic classes.

Rah! Sis, boom, bah! Hold that line! Hit’em again, harder - harder! Football has returned and the students are already getting excited. “1 think it’s the best thing that ever happened,” said one Buffalo coed. “I’m so excited.” “I can’t wait until it starts,” said a student at Ellicott. £ I' B | i 1 And it will probably start like this. The referee, standing in one of Rotary Field’s end zones, will hold his arm up, drop his arm and toot his whistle. The kicker will start towards the ball, as the crowd roars louder and louder. Then, with a dull thud, the ball will be airborne, flying end-over-end towards the receiver. And the roar will be deafehing. Yes, football is really back. This year’s bring-back-football movement, which worked so hard, succeeded, where similar movements each of the past several years, failed. But a lot of hard work remains. Things to do For example, there is still the problem of lack of adequate locker room space. There is the problem (which may or may not be serious) that only the stands on the Bailey Avenue side of Rotary Field are usable. There is the problem of trying to schedule additional games, finding assistant coaches, digging up all the old football equipment, preparing the game programs (“There goes my summer,” said Dick Baldwin, the man who prepares those programs) and oodles more. The students, too, look like they will be doing a great deal of work. Several have already begun Statistics box getting in shape for the team. And with Thur,sHay’s announcement, which made the team definite, a lot more students will begin getting in shape. And there are several students on campus with varsity football experience who will be around next year. Joe Previll, currently a junior here, was a lineman at C.W. Post. Rich Mott was a lineman and linebacker at Ithaca College. Paul Dimiero was a quarterback for Slippery Rock. And there is an unconfirmed rumor floating around The Spectrum office that a former quarterback at Navy is now a student here at Buffalo. There are probably others, too, as well as a myriad of high school football players who no doubt will help next year’s team. Good athletes Having a football team will probably help other teams on campus. Not immediately, but eventually. A football team attracts good athletes (even without Scholarships) who are quite often proficient in other sports as well. In the past, it was not rare to find football players also on Buffalo’s basketball, wrestling, baseball and track teams, John Stofa, who later went on to play professional football with the Miami Dolphins, was baseball captain at Buffalo as well as football star. Fran Woidzik, a Little All-American as a Bulls tackle, also earned letters in wrestling and track. It has been said that there is no school spirit here at Buffalo. A football team might change that. It would be nice to see people walking around who were proud to be a student here, especially after we beat Canisius. And we will beat Canisius, you know.

Baseball 12-16 Win over Niagara Lacrosse team loses sloppy game to Ikes by Marshall Rosenthal Spectrum Staff Writer ■“When Vou’re hot,-you’re hot and when you’re not, you’re not.” So went the Buffalo Lacrosse club’s play last week as they lost to Eisenhower 13-4 and defeated Niagara 9-8. In the two contests, the stickhandlers played the part of both goat and bull. “It was just a bad day all the way around,” said co-captain Herb Roisman about the Bulls’ performance against a superb Eisenhower squad. Roisman’s disappointment stemmed from the Bulls’ defeat at the hands of the Ikes on Saturday. The Bulls came out charging in the first period and took a 2-1 lead behind Frank Massaro and freshman standout William Higgs’ goals. But the Bulls’ edge was shortlived. When Higgs tallied his second goal of the afternoon in the second period, the Ikes retaliated with three goals of their own to take the lead 5-3 at halftime. From then on, the sticksters played considerably worse. The second half proved quite disastefous for Buffalo. Plagued by a wet and muddy field, the Bulls were as sloppy as the field. Due to the steady rain, the stickhandlers were forced to slow down the game, contrary to the Buffalo gameplan. This move only benefitted the host Eisenhower team. Because the Ikes offense revolves around a slowed down pattern, the Bulls were in effect aiding their opponents. Singing different tunes The third period saw the Ikes score four unanswered goals, lifting their lead to 9-3. The fourth period provided no new life for the Bulls as the dominant Eisenhower squad tallied four additional goals. Steve Hackling did score Buffalo’s final goal of the afternoon in a losing effort. After the game, Eisenhower coach Dave McNab commented “Today’s game would have been a different story if the field were dry.” McNab also noted that the Bulls’ fast moving running offense is superb on a normal day. The problem with the Bulls’ attack was their trouble in picking up ground balls, a fundamental attribute essential to lacrosse. In the sticksters next game against Niagara, the Bulls sang a different tune. In fact, the game could have been classified as the Holland Garrow Road Show. Garrow, indeed, put on a show sparking the Bulls to a 9-8 victory. When the opening period began, however, the Purple Eagles took the lead quickly and put a scar into the visiting Bulls. Garrow answered by scoring Buffalo’s two first period goals but the Bulls trailed 4-2 at the end of the period. Just as in the Bulls’ match against Eisenhower, the field was in sad shape, especially in front of the creases. Because of this, many of the sticksters shots on goal stuck in the Niagara mud, taking away the possibility of the bounce shot. Garrow a power Similar to tHe Ikes style of play, the Purple Eagles tried to create a slow-patterned offense. But the Bulls were not fooled twice. The halftime score was tied at five apiece behind Buffalo goals by Garrow, Rich Morgan and A.J. Russo, a former All-American star from Hobart College.

When Niagara tied the score at seven, Hackling answered the Eagle goal with one of his own, giving the Bulls the lead. Shortly thereafter, Roisman fired what proved to be the winning goal after another Eagle onslaught. The Niagara contest was well executed by the visiting Bulls. They did a good job picking up ground balls and the defense was particularly strong at clearing the ball to the mid-fielders. In addition, goalie George Talboys played an exceptional game under the circumstances. In spite of Garrow’s five goals, the victory was a total team effort “We all worked at getting the ball to him (Garrow) and he was smart enough to get open, but he was superb.” stated Roisman.

Monday, 2 May 1977 few announcers make a lot of money. Along with being the program director for WYSL/WFHD, Harv Moore is the morning man, on weekdays, from 6 to 10. Fifteen years ago, he began his career at Boston University,i as a self acclaimed' “schlepper,” which he defined as a person who hung around a radio station and bugged the boss to let him on the air. He was eventually successful in this endeavor. A program director, according to “Humble Harv,” a name he bestows upon himself, is in charge of everything that goes over the air waves. This includes music, promotions and contests. He is also in charge of the announcers. When asked how he sees himself, he quickly replied “a latent heterosexual,”* and suggested his fellow staff members be asked for further indications as to his true character. Moore enjoys his work, and considers it a constant challenge. He discussed the stigma left on radio, as a medium, from the. payola scandals of tfTe 1 950’s, and feels this still damages the reputations of disc jockeys all ( over the country. Before residing in Buffalo. Moore worked for a station in employed Washington which many female broadcasters. There aren’t any female D.J.’s on WYSL/WFHD. Moore commented that women today seem to fit more smoothly into stations with a progressive format. for the individual, Moore explained the impetus for the change on the FM dial from WYSl. to WPHD. To begin with, simulcasting' prevents each station from reaching its full potential. According to Moore, people should have a' choice and one get two different programs; on AM and one on FM. Finally, after doing extensive research on what people like or dislike, station people officials found that - objected to repetition in songs, which is circumvented in the, WPHD FM format. Moore saw FM Repitition avoided on 1 FM “Humble Harv,” a graduate of as the coming thing, and felt that University, feels that the FM station needed itk own Boston students who afe interested in identity to grow. Moore said that professional thus far it is hard to tell what the becoming broadcasters should try to get a public’s reaction to WPHD-FM is, job with a commercial station, at although he is confident it will be some level, if they can. Also,,of a success, and that all it needs is a upmost importance, they should little fine tuning. Moore went on try to get as much education as to explain that many LP’s, like possible. Moore feels that the Boston, Fleetwood Mac, and the communications curriculums, and Eagles, have gfeat songs, other majors related to than the hit one, and the new other broadcasting, are excellent WPHD FM format includes these preparation for a career, and good songs.

The three-hour game was definitely not a pitchers’ duel, as each team scored run after run on a combination of hits and errors. A big factor in the game was the weather. The bright sun caused a few dropped fly balls and the wind helped a few long hits. The weather factor was obvious in the statistics the two teams committed a total of nine errors. The Bulls got a run in the first inning when Jack Kaminska reached second on a fly ball to right that was lost in the sun and was driven in by Phil Ganci’s single. After a scoreless second. Buffalo increased their lead with five runs in the third. Another error by Niagara’s rightfielder put Kaminska on first. When Mike Dixon came up, the Purple Eagles’ outfield again bubbled a fly and Dixon was safe. Mike Groh’s single scored Kaipinska, and John Pederson followed with another single* to score Dixon. Ed Durkin walked to load the bases. Then Joe Vizzi hit a single down the first base line, scoring Groh and Pederson. Vizzi on first and Durkin on third attempted a double steal that allowed Durkin to score, but Vizzi got thrown out trying to take third. — F R Y E I I I a I f Comedian SATURDAY, May 7th 8:00 pm CLARK HALL Tickets ’ v ‘ V- ■ Baseball Bulls win against Niagara D I ' - $1.25 students faculty staff and alumni $2.25 public available at Squire Ticket Office Betz tires Bulls' sophomore Mike Betz, coming off an ankle injury s started for the Bulls and was strong in the early innings. But in the fourth, he walked two men and hit another to load the bases with none out. Senior Bill Casbolt relieved Betz and got Niagara’s Mike Purdy to hit an easy grounder, but an error by shortstop Kaminska allowed a run to score and Purdy to reach first safely. Joe Fitzgerald hit another grounder that brought in another run before Casbolt retired the side. Both teams scored twice in the fifth. ■ For Niagara, Vincent Girardo lead off the fifth wfth a single. Kaminska’s second error of that day put Lou Thyroff on first and Art Carlisi walked. Tom Zaccardo then drove in two runs with a single before Casbolt got a double play and a groundout to end the inning. In Buffalo’s half of the fifth Ganci singled and Groh walked. Both scored on yet another error, this time by pitcher Mike Bleier. The Bulls scored three more runs in the game, including one on.a pinch-hit homerun by freshman Scott Raimondo. Niagara scored three times in the ninth. Both teams also put their pitching staffs to work. In addition to Casbolt, who picked up his fourth win, Don Grieibner pitched the final two innings for the Bulls. Niagara used all four of its pitchers (starter Bill Purdy, Bleier, Joe Keller and A1 Joslyn) and even sent center fielder Thryoff to the mound. The day before the Niagara game, the Bulls travelled to Brockport on Thursday where they split a doubleheader.

Once a, week, since December, 1974, the University moving and trucking crew Ips been collecting their contents rind taking them to Amherst Highway Department bins. The Highway Department then carts the caste to a recycler in Brockport. The Ellicott Complex remains unserviced. People Rachel Carson in College are concerned about the limited extent of University recycling. “The state of recycling on this is poor,” said Reed campus Kellner, “It’s no more than a token system so the people who do it can feel good. We’d need bins and bins to take care of all garbage University the this creates/’ Last year Rachel CArson College attempted to rectify the situation by instituting a recycling was used to cart the garbage is no longer available. Several individual floors devised their 6wn recycling projects as well, but these proved incapable of handling the huge amount of waste. Restrictions ridiculous Another alternative arose last summer when Highway Department expressed in carting away interest the Amherst recyclables from an outdoor bin near Ellicott. The office of Facilities Planning, which is in charge of “protecting the exterior and interior visual qualities of the Street Amherst and Main campuses,” according to Assistant Vice President John Neal, set several restrictions on the construction of an outdoor bin. Neal rioted that the office was actually in favor of a recycling program. “We have no problm with the recycling project. That’s a little like being against motherhood,* he said. But do have a they responsiblity to insure that the not “visually bin be will offensive.” Neal said jhat the bin would have to be hidden by shrubbery and generally unobtrusive. making it visible and having it be ugly.” According to Gold, the lack of visibility would reduce use, and prevent easy access to the bins by trucks. He cited the University bureaucracy as another factor in the problem. “Their way of doing business is not ours. We could have tried it and then if it didn’t work we could have taken it out. But they —were unwilling to experiment. All units in the University go through this when they deal with the administration.” over 200 pick-ups from He was certain however, that households. an effective plan could be Milo also picks up recyclables arranged with time. “We can have from “satellite” centers around on and it recycling this campus Buffalo.

Both the Buffalo Black Dance Workshop and Wallflower Order Dance Collective are women whose dancing fills in the blank pages of women’s and black people’s history. The Buffalo Black Dance Workshop began in 1968 as a bold experiment at SUNY at Buffalo. Since then it has developed into an acclaimed, professional dance company. Carole Kariamu Welsh, the creative spirit who founded the organization, is a celebrated choreographer. Her choreography of “Coretta,” “Journey North,” and “Freedom Suite” has been recognized as innovative and inspiring both in the U.S. and Europe. Currently she is a protege of internationally known dancer Pearl Reynolds. In a world dominated by male fhoreographers, the presence of Carole Kariamu Welsh is exceptional. Her inspiration is black. Her language is dance. And the communication is universal. Buffalo Black Dance workshop and the School of Movement are both part of the same dream. The School of Movement is committed to physical arts education in general and dance education in particular. Lectures and demonstrations of various dance techniques, a library, and a periodic film presentations are all part of a comprehensive educational program. The School provides an opportunity for all to learn about dance.

The Mission Statement was drafted in response to a December 1976 memo from Bunn which directed all deans and provosts within the University to assess the strengths and weaknesses of their respective school or faculty. The thurst of Bunn’s memo was to elicit a concise statement of what each faculty or school was contributing to the overall mission of the University. It also called for a carefully thought-out analysis of what existing resources could be reallocated (including elimination of some programs) and how much more new money would be necessary to attain the objectives The Record Coop is now accepting applications for VOTE • .

Smith and Joe Gallucci Three years ago scientists discovered the key to the creation of life by unlocking the secrets of the DNA (dyoxyribonucleic acid) molecule. This introduced the recombinant-DNA, a technique that recombines DNA segments (which determines the hereditary characteristics of all life) from two simple organisms. Biologists can now connect the “sticky” ends to the DNA segments, thus creating new life. Experiments with DNA manipulation are presently being conducted by governments, universities, and corporations all over the world. Most recombinant DNA experiments are done with E. coli bacteria, “a very dangerous bug” according to Dr. Norman Strauss, Chairman of the Biological Sciences Department here. The E. coli bacteria lives in the human intestines. Even though scientists have/developed a mutant of E. coli which cannot live outside of laboratory conditions, “This is not an adequate safeguard,” warns Strauss. He expalined the danger: “If this mutant E. coli is inhaled or somehow invested by a researcher, once inside that person’s intestines it could then transmit its DNA to the human E. coli. That person’s feces could then,contaminate sewage and this could infect the general population.” Unknown dangers In an article by Jeremy Rifkin, Dr. Liebe Cavalieri of the Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer warns that, “Only one accident is needed to endanger the future of mankind.” Cavalieri and his colleagues are worried that an Andromeda Strain-type virus for which there is no known immunization might be developed, spreading a deadly pestilence across the face of the earth. Strauss,acknowledges this possibility,,adding, “What’s so scary ahjmt this is that there is no way of predicting what will these experiments.” In working to obtain a cafl cohJajjiim; a specific recombinant-DNA, it is necessary to crea'te aJ vast number of cells with unknown genetic alterations. The probability of creating a dangerous genetic agent is real, and there is no way to test for danger. The scientist does not know what he has done until he at which point, we may analyzes the newly formed cell realize that indeed it’s not nice to fool with Mother Nature. — Strauss made the shocking statement tWt he has heard M.I.T. argue that recombinaitt-DNA research is leading scientists at this school and elsewhere casually remark, “So directly to genetic engineering of people.

Med, □ is for ( I have enclosed $ NAME ADDRESS CITY STATE Large X Large T-Shirts �Dam project would rescue Mississippi River ecology by Michele Cohen Spectrum Staff Writer This spring, Congress will vote again on a long-unresolved issue; the expansion and jnodernization of Locks and Dam No. 26 at Alton (Illinois), a decision which could have long-range effects on Mississippi the River area’s anvironment, and on the people who live there. The dam project was first suggested in 1969 at an estimated cost of $400 million. By 1974, a coalition of the Western Railroad Association, Sierra Club and Izaak Walton League rose in opposition to the construction, blocking the first appropriation by Congress of $22 million. Plans for the new dam include of two 1200-foot locks to replace existing 360 and 600-foot locks. The depth of the locks would be increased . to accommodate barges having an eleven and a half foot draft, a depth that is 30 percent greater than the nine foot channel. Conservationists oppose the plan for two reasons. They are alarmed at an increase in lock depth, which they feel will necessitate increasing the total channel depth from nine to twelve feet. They also assert that stream causes added channelization construction ■ flooding. The Mississippi River has paid its price for construction of the locks and dam system in the 1930’s. The waters are no longer free flowing and dredging is required to remove three million tons of sand that are annually entrapped in the man-made lakes. This is dumped along the channel’s edges forming levee-like mounds up to thirty feet high on either side of the center current. Transportation systems The results of this pattern are apparent. The excess fill is causing the surrounding Water to block up and develop into marsh land. Some of the growth is so thick that even canoes can no longer pass through. The majestic water of the Mississippi is turning into the slurp of a barge canal. The railroad industry sides with the conservationists in opposing the proposed expansion. Competition has always existed between America’s shipping and railroad industries. Government foresight and planning did not prevent this discord by developing transportation complemented systems that another jockeying instead of and maneuvering for business. To understand the recent developments on the Mississippi, one must investigate all the twists and turns of her history. The white man’s interest in the Mississippi was an integral part of his exploration of America. The Spanish French and enthusiastically traveled the river’s course, discovering the sloping banks, and translucent waters and the panorama of gently rising hills that reached for miles from the river’s edges. By the early 1800’s canoes, rafts, keelboats and barges were a one frequent Mississippi* America’s sight operators complained that the height and supports of the bridges interfered with their navigation. complaints Their induced Congress to enact regulation of the railroad bridges. Sad transformation 'By 1887 only 10 percent of the annual tonnage moved to St. Louis was moved along the Mississippi. The decline in its use settled a sad stillness over towns that had once thrived on the bustling activity of barges and riverboats. Slowly the government began to take steps to rejuvenate the Mississippi as a main industrial along the which had become biggest commercial waterway. The first improvements the government made On the maintenance of the river began in 1824. $75,000 was allotted to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for the removal of embedded trees snaging river traffic. The project was known as “Uncle Sam’s tooth-pullers,” the first of many improvements that have absorbed millions of tax dollars since. development Railroad also reponded to industry demands. Land grant gifts were given to railroad companies from state and federal treasuries. By 1860, a railroad was running parallel to the Mississippi, carrying the excess coal, lumber, cotton and grain transported all the way from Minneapolis to New Orleans. The increased efficiency of the railroads contributed to a decline in river traffic. In 1887, bridges were being constructed across the Mississippi movement enabling east west of goods. Barge artery. The first constructed in constant water depths establish instead of the depths dependent on seasonal changes. Rapids, rocks and flooding also interfered with smooth transportation and were systematically dealt with. In 1879 the Mississippi River Commission was formed to find improving ways of river conditions. $3 million was spent on improvements in creating a channel four and one half feet deep to St. Louis from the Upper Mississippi. A new project was created in 1907.

Congress, in dealing with the problem of declining river traffic, placed governmental control on barge companies, which became the Inland Waterways Corp. and the Federal Barge Lines. Rates were established between the railroads and barge lines to offset the competitive price cutting the railroads had engaged in. The railroads resented government intervention in private enterprise. Long debate The last steps taken for river improvement were in the 1930’s. The system of 27 locks and dams proposed then was estimated at a cost of $124,000,000 with an of annual maintenance $1,750,000. These are the forty year old efforts being debated for change today. The issue of Lock and Dam No. 26 arose in 1969 when periodic malfunctioning bagan to occur. At that time Congress approved reconstruction. Work has not yet begun.

Page five �EditPrial Pure Thank you To the Editor bullshit Monday's issue of The Spectrum reported that SUNY Counsel Walter Relihan left it up to President Robert Ketter to decide whether the Group Legal Services (GLS) will be allowed to have 'its attorney counsel students in court, off-campus. This may be a good time to reconsider the misguided logic behind the Ketter Administration's original questioning of such a service. A provision in the SUNY Trustees' guidelines for use of the student activity fee allows that it be used for programs of "educational and cultural enrichment" which benefit "the campus community." The guidelines are vague, long-winded, and have been the source of debate within SUNY ever since theif instatement in 1970. Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs Anthony Lorenzetti, as President Ketter's designee, seized on the words "educational and cultural" enrichment which benefit "the campus community" as proof that the guidelines were intended to prohibit anything which did not fall within the letter of those few words. This is pure bullshit. In fact, there is ample evidence that the spirit of the guidelines was intended to encourage just such a service. Additionally, the recent amendment to the guidelines specifically allows fees to be used for "student services to supplement or add to those provided by the University." It is likely that the amendment's sponsor, Student Association of the State University (SASU) President Frank Jackalone, had programs such as Group Legal Services in mind when he worded it. The Ketter administration has disregarded the clear mandate of the Trustees, Group Legal Services lawyer Richard Lippes, said last month. "If GLS isn't a student service, then nothing is." We believe that the probtem with the Group Legal Services program stems directly from an unwritten Ketter Administration policy of scrutinizing student activity fee expenditures more closely than any other SUNY campus administration, and of interpreting the guidelines in a stricter, more conservative fashion than such a vaguely phrased document allows. Whatever the motivation for this practice, its effect has been to obstruct and endanger legitimately conceived student enterprises, stifle creativity, and deny students the very necessary benefits of free legal representation in court. Lippes sees the issue as part of a constant battle for student rights and services. "If the Administration takes the position that student fees can't be used for something as important as this, who knows what will come next?" Group Legal Services, funded by Sub Board, the student corporation, is currently budgeted at $29,000. The program was originally, approved as a substitute for the old Legal Aid Clinic because it promised to offer free legal representation . in court. Now back in the hands of Robert Ketter, the Group Legal Services proposal remains in limbo, even as it carries on all the other services it was intended to provide. Ketter will hopefully give off-campus representation his approval before the semester is over. Otherwise, he is sure to face a losing legal battle over an issue which ought not to have been raised in the first place. _ The Spectrum Vol. 27, No. 79 Friday, 29 April 1977 Editor-in-Chief — The Art Library has been given sufficient funding to maintain regular hours for the balance of the semester.

Jeff Lessoff have to resort to name calling and character judgements of Mr. Levinson in order to get their point across. I’m aware of Lev’s struggle for 2000 signatures and I feel that the signatures are valid and should be seriously considered. Undergraduates should tune into this situation and seek the truth. I have seen student government continually weaken ever since the Dandes administration. Mr. Delia and Mr. Lessoff are 70’s name callers not 60’s activists. Alan Kaufman Of bus schedules To the Editor. I am continually amazed ahd appalled by the stupidity of the people who design this University’s bus schedules. I have seen at the same time every day, five bus loads of people waiting and only two buses available, and I have seen five buses sitting at the bus stop and enough people fr one bus waiting. This summer’s bus schedule is completely inadequate. 1 can recall seeing a summer class schedule on April 1. Is it possible that in the time between April I and the day when the summer bus schedule was released, no one told Roger McGill, who designs the bus schedules, that there would be classes at Ridge Lea until 9:20 at night? And is it possible that Mr. McGill never bothered to look for himself and see that his little schedule had absolutely no relation to the real world outside his office in There is no ‘Lev Course which the bus riders exist? Apparently it is. Well, I hope he fixes the schedule. I might also point out that there will be summer classes at the Bubble that start at 7:45 a.m, I have registered for one of them and would like to catch a bus at Main Street that will get me there in time. But don’t relax yet, Mr. McGill, because I’m not through. The summer dorms are going to bp in Ellicott. Did you know that? That means there will be people living there seven days a week. People who will want buses seven days a week. People who will want buses day and night, not just until 9:20 p.m. when that last Ridge Lea class ends. I hope your schedule can be altered to fit reality. Even though reality is only what we make it. Who knows, maybe weekends and evenings don’t exist in the world of Roger McGill.

This concert is being presented by QFM and by Eugene Zielinski Spectrum Music Staff Vaudeville rock. The term most likely conjures up images of Ray Davies balancing a beer can on his head, or else the concept is completely novel. The two wrods do not seem to go together. On one side we have Vaudeville, refined, sedate, but spontaneous and enjoyable in its own unassuming way. Rock, on the other hand, would never succeed if it were predicted on those characteristics essential to Vaudeville. Nevertheless, this unlikely combination does work, as was amply demonstrated last Friday night at the Fat Cat, when the up and coming band Milkie Cole took to the stage. Despite their chosen style, Molkie Cole was by no means another imitation of the Kinks. They emphasized the "rock" portion of Vaudeville rock, not putting as much effort into showmanship as the Kinks would have. This doesn't mean that they didn't have any antics they had quite a few but the antics were secondary to the music. The music itself was hard to describe. It was obvious that Molkie Cole was profoundly influenced by British music; traces of groups like the Beatles and lOcc could be heard throughout the set. Each song was primarily because none of them quite enjoyable and never boring lasted over five minutes, but also because the band seemed to know the limits of each song, and did not go beyond them. For example; there were no extended guitar solos, nor did anyone vocalist try to dominate a song. Molkie Cole does not have just one lead singer; most (or all) of the band's members would sing together, and at times they produced some simple but enjoyable harmonies, heightening their similarity to British bands. If there was one thing working to hold the set together, it was the drumming of Tim Cole. His performance was prominent and driving, but not overbearing, and served as an unconscious link between songs. Clad in a harlequin suit and sitting behind a wall of drums, Cole was the leader of the band. During breaks between songs, he would frequently address the crowd, warning them unsuccessfully (and not very sincerely) of the evils of marijuana or perhaps commenting on some members of the band. "Are they any Polacks out there?" — Harvey & Corky. — — (obviously’ fr6rw"ffee audience.) (Cheers "Well, you might like to know that Phil here is so Polish that his mother wouldn't let him play in the sandbox because the cat kept burying him."

Notso-s tangent stand.lards The concert as a whole was great, but the best parts came at about the middle of the first act, where they took some old standards and reworked them in ways never dreamed possible. It all started quite innocently enought with Bob Steinmetz's saxophone seque from 'VB2" into, of all things, "In The Mood." Unlike so many other groups, they did not treat this as a jazz composition, but as a very rock oriented song. The result was extremely listenable, to say the least; it was impossible to stop keeping the beat with the band in one way or another. At the end of "In The Mood," they launched into the "Theme from Peter Gunn." For this number, Paul Pope donned a trenchcoat and a magnifiying glass with a giant eye on it, then stalked the stage while the rest of the band was playing. He later exchanged the glass for a banner which said, "Everybody likes marijuana," which seemed to express the sentiments of the audience exactly. Molkie Cole's other material was also good, and all of it was penned by members of the band. Standouts included the aforementioned 'VB2," which sounded like a cross between lOcc and Crack the Sky, and "The Last Song," mainly because of its harmonies and mid-sixties feel. Unfortunately, the names to most of the songs were not announced, and there were a few that did not come from their latest album. In looking over this review, I find that it does not do this concert justice. It is too subdued and not lively enough to communicate the atmosphere of the performance. Suffice it to say that Molkie Cole is a band with a future. Let's hope it isn't too long before they return to Buffalo. «.

That's the full 1 address of Philo Records, and it says a lot about them. It's a most atypical "record company": no suite of glass-walled offices in a skyscraper holding several dozen others, no executives in three-piece switchable suits. There's not much in North Ferrisburg, Vermont, except for Mt. Philo just off to the north, and a converted barn which houses Philo and its production facility. Earth Audio Techniques. As might be expected in pastoral, independent Vermont, Philo has two main objectives: to make music that doesn't depend on the whims of the Billboard charts, and to let the musicians decide how their records should sound. Both of these, by "record industry" standards, are little less than a call to revolution. There are other such companies: Flying Fish in Chicago, Rounder in Massachusetts (also a record distributor for small labels), Folk-Legacy in Sharon, Connecticut, several more. Each of them has a distinctivie character: Flying Fish is slick; Folk-Legacy is gentle and warm; Rounder is almost fiercely electric, ranging from reissues of old-time string bands to sessions with Dave Bromberg and Vassar Clements. I chose Philo partly capriciously, but also because it combines elements of all these qualities: a first-class production facility, and staff a wide range of repertoire that encompasses both traditional and contemporary musicians, and an enthusiasm that’ comes from musicians finally having the chance to do things their way. Utah Phillips, on his Philo album Good Though!, wrote: "(They've) given me complete control of what's on this record. I can say, 'Put this in' or Take this out.' They have given me advice, and sometimes I've accepted it and sometimes not. In any case, the result is exactly what I wanted, and not the kind of, hyped-up musical nightmare that happens 1/vhen the engineer and producer lift control from the people making the music." Does this really make any difference? Well, take Dave Van Ronk. In close to twenty years, he's recorded for, by my count, six other lables. Philo was the first to give him full artistic control. The result was Sunday Street, the finest record Van Ronk's ever made. muddy There's the none of over-orchestration that ruined several of Van Ronk's other efforts. It's just him, his voice' and his guitar, which is eminently sensible he made his prestigious name with the impassioned growl in which he sings and an instrumental technique as simple as the 12-bar blues or as complex as Scott Joplin and Jelly Roll Morton. As for his version of "Would You Like To Swing On a Star" ("Or would you rather be a fish . .?"), I can only echo Van Ronk's own comment: "I can . — . think of nothing whstsoever to say about this song . it is perfect." . Sunday Street should effectively spike the disturbing rumors that have gotten around to the effect that Van Ronk's burned himself out. If anything, he's more creative and vital an artist than ever; those twenty years haye taught hima lot, and here he's passed along a little of it. Tom Mitchell's self-named first album shows him to even better advantage than his stint with Paul Siebel at the UUAB Coffeehouse some weeks back. The arrangements, under the careful control of Tony Markellis, always underline the substance of the songs without obscuring them. And, under their elliptical imagery, songs like "Wasted Rose" have quite a lot to them: / wasted a rose wasted a melody line Tasted some crow I've been waist deep in lies And I've come to be one of the crazy sort And I see a tear in my true love's eye / Mitchell's nimbly avoided the treadmill of lost, loves, long roads, and self-pity that most songwriters get stuck on. His songs show maturity and a true voice that can't be mistaken for anyone else and this at the very start of his — career. There are whiffs of rock, country, and folk in the record, but its only style is its own. If you saw the Boys of the Lough at the Buffalo Folk Festival, I needn't waste my time praising them to you: their versions of the tunes and songs of Ireland, Scotland, and Shetland speak far more eloquently in their favor than I could. All I need say is that their newest-effort. The Piper's Broken Finger, lives up to their high standard. About the title: Scottish piper Finlay MacNeil broke a finger just before he was about to recrod with the Boys. The incident lent its name to Cathal McConnell's newly-composed flute reel, and Finlay, recovered, joined the Boys on two electrifying tracks that are the album's highlights. Unlike most groups playing traditional tunes, Celtic or otherwise, the Boys use almost exclusively melody instruments fiddle, flute, tinwhistle, regular and long-necked mandolin, tenor banjo, and concertine, with bodhran (hand-held drum) the only percussion. They blend together in a unique, richly colored sound; the singing is excellently handled by McConnell and Robin Morton. If you're a fan of the Boys, give yourself The Finger. (Ouch!) Without mammoth advertising budgets, labels like Philo depend on word of mouth vitally so,,in fact. Try to hear these records the Music Room in Norton Union has Mitchell's and and let someone know if you like Van Ronk's them. For now, feast your ears at this unseen table. —Bill Maraschiello — - — — Must the quality oftelevision keep dropping? by Al Rotundo Spectrum Arts Staff • Some years ago while still a wee lad I picked up a copy of TV.

Thumbing through it while my mother hunted bargains up and down the supermarket aisles, I was horrified to discover that someone actually had the nerve to criticize a program a hundred million other people and I enjoyed.

A Prince of Portugal made it independent in 1822 but a Republic was proclaimed only in 1889, a year after its slaves were freed. The several Republics that followed desired above all to develop a strong and independent country according to its own beliefs. Brazil Cinema Now presents a collection of characters that live in fiction or in fact in Contemporary Brazil. The vitality of Brazilian filmmaking r evident in all of them and their directors play atf important role in the culture and political life of We country. The films came from different independent producers but they are all distributed by Embrafilme, a company in which the government owns 51% of the shares but exercises no “official direction" as to what is the contpR|t.pff)itee films to be made.

In 1975, The New York Society of Film Critics gave him special citation as a film ?> „ The 112 days are a consequence, a continuation of the struggle to win the Brazilian market for Brazilian films. It constitutes one of the few most decisive attitudes designed to open access to the market for our films. Since foreign pictures enter the market without restrictions, and since they enter in large numbers and are offered to the public at the same price as the film product made in Brazil, the solution found as time passed was to try to open breaches in the market and offer channels for Brazilian films to attain the marquees of the exhibitors. This ofcourse is only a palliative, because 112 days means only 30% of the days when movies are shown annually. But it is well to remember that before we arrived at this point, the exhibitors could indulge themselves in order to produce what we call “negative statistics,” the purpose being to prove that Brazilian films cannot compete in the market, and will only bring losses to their exhibitors. In the middle sixties a big Carioca exhibitor, one of the largest in Brazil, placed paid ads in the newspapers of each capital where his network was active “demonstrating” the impossibility of complying with the law requiring obligatory showing, “owing to the low technical and artistic quality of the Brazilian cinema.” In fact, as General Director of Embrafilme, I do not want to recall the differences of the past, or to perpetuate them. I look upon the law as a regulator of the market, with the mission of finally establishing a definitive basis for the existence of a Brazilian cinema capable of bringing together producers and exhibitors, side by side, in the struggle for the cinema, which is ours, to take charge of its own house. The fact is that foreign films enter Brazil under a system of dumping, with zero costs relative to ours. For them, according to data in Motion Pictures, our market represents about 5% of the world market. This in a situation where Brazilian films need the internal market to cover the whole of their investment. Operating by dumping, the foreign cinema naturally dictates the laws of the market and dominates the viewpoint of the exhibitors. After all, depending on foreign distributors as their main suppliers, the exhibitor has to give in to them. And the foreign cinema is in a position to be dear when it wants to be dear, and to be cheap when its interests call for it to be cheap. Their sources of production can enrich exhibitors and impoverish exhibitors. And what happens with the exhibitor happens also with the producer, who finds himself at the bottom of the heap. In the recent period, the Government has sought to take care of the interests of the national exhibitor.

Similarly, commissions from the moving picture industry have been received several times, particularly in the last two years, by federal authorities. I once had an opportunity to tell the Minister of Planning, Joao Paulo dos Reis Velloso, that 30% of the market was the minimum necessary if Brazilian cinema was ever to reach the top of the hill; for years it had been slipping and sliding on the slope. Then we could begin to get results maintaining, of course, the parallel work of complementing the arrangement which we won. Today, for example, I can speak of the existence of movie houses in Rio Grande do Sul that show national films only, because foreign films are too expensive when they get there. The obligatory 112 days represent the indispensable minimum if Brazilian cinema is to have a normal life. But this goal does not constitute a solution for all of its problems. We have much still to do, many plans to carry out, before we can achieve the desired stability with relation to foreign films. We do not wish the importation of foreign films to be restricted. We do not want foreign films to be sold at prices up to 10 times higher, as is the case with other products. We merely want to compete with foreign cinema as equal to equal. But to compete with foreign cinema as equal to equal is not only to provide access of national films to the movie houses, it is not only to offer credit to producers. It is much more: it is to assess the true possibilities of Brazilian films in the external market. Right now at Embrafilme, parallel to other projects, we have a work group charged with this. All of us who have at least 20 years experience in the industry have gone through the experience of having our films sold to as many as 40 countries, and of getting back no more than a pittance. Because out there they ran up against a machine impervious to Brazilian films, not because they were Brazilian but because, in most countries, we do not have an efficient sales apparatus. Brazil has an expanding internal market, one that should expand more and more, particularly with a better distribution of national income. In addition to this through a plan we are preparing to be presented to the Ministers of Education and it can be Planning, in short, to the Government — — — reinforced by a proper network of sales points for our product Jn the foreign market, giving preference to the countries of Latin American and Africa and to the Arab countries, without forgetting Europe and the United States. But there, only as a bridgehead, with films of greater cultural weight. The fact is that in developing countries we should be more aggressive, thereby complying with various appeals from some of our ambassadors and selling products of large-scale consumption, that is, entertainment films.In this way we could achieve a good income and could make Brazilian films a good source of exchange for the country: we could thus invert our balance of payments position in this sector. Thanks to this policy, we could begin to finance films considered exportable, produced with a view to the foreign market. As a result we would reduce our internal production costs, and improve our capacity to compete with outside films inside the country. We could, in short, provide a basis for -our own Government to stop looking upon our cinema in a paternalistic way. Brazilian cinema enjoys conditions which should be supported in a more stable fashion, as the United States treated this activity immediately after the Second World War when Europe ceased to be the great world film producer. According to the critic, film technician and researcher Alex Viany, the first Brazilian film announced as “entirely national” was the comedy Nho Anastaclo Chegou De Viagem, by Julio Ferrez, launched on 19 June 1908 at the Grande Cinematografo Rathe, which was on Avenida Central, today Rio Branco. Ever since then, the search for national themes hgs been a constant with Brazilian producers. Nevertheless, the results, in terms of public acceptance, have not lived up to the billing. In culture a certain radicalism is necessary, because if we do not adopt a firmer position in this connection, we will never achieve a culture of our own, but will be eternally conditioned by the culture we import. In 1974 we spent 14 million dollars to buy copies of some 850 films, only for showing in the regular theaters, that is, without taking into account those bought in lots, at a nominal price, for TV. One statistic from the Institute Nacional do Cinema, referring to 1974, reveals that TV the greatest exhibition network — — �in the world used 6057 films. Of these. 1704 were regular movies, 3218 had been produced specially for TV, and 1135 were animated cartoons. Of the movie films shown on TV, that is, out of the 1704,34 were Brazilian. In face of these data any person who knows something about communication or works in the cultural field will know that it is almost impossible to have a national consciousness, a national culture. We have succeeded in achieving a personality only because we are a people with personality. Out of some 850 films we imported in 1974 for the normal exhibition- network, the great majority did not make the least contribution to Brazilian culture, and the same is true of those shown on television. If we consider that the country is a large family, and consider that this family pays 14 million dollars to buy culture, we can see into what an absurd situation we have fallen. Well then, if we reallocate those 14 million dollars to the Brazilian film industry, half going to national films to improve their quality with a view to exportation and half to supplement the income of exhibitors who give preference to Brazilian films, as is done today for the producer, much could be done. Part of the incentive to exhibitors should necessarily be used to re-equip projection halls and build new ones, since we have deficient more than three thousand. I am sure that when the exhibitor can cease to be an agent of acculturation of the people and begins to receive the benefits of Government support to the Brazilian moving picture industry, he will take his place in the ranks along with Brazilian cinema, and conquest of the market will be assured. And when this time comes. Embrafilme should have its own exhibition circuit, so that it can bring to the public the more innovative films, the spearhead of Brazilian culture, the experimental the cinema capable of film, the vanguard film supplying the data of renovation necessary to its own art, which will then be fully active as a cultural defense. The exhibition circuit of Embrafilme should be the cultural option of the Government, of the Brazilian film technician, the means by which he will also have access to an ever-growing segment of the population. It is logical that this supplement be paid to the exhibitor so as to increase his income from Brazilian films so that it would be proportional to such income. Thus the exhibitor would have an incentive to declare his true receipts from domestic films, and would no longer resort to bordereaux instead. Furthermore, he would necessarily have to equip himself for Brazilian films. I say equip himself because one of the great needs of our cinema is good reproduction apparatus. With good sound apparatus ■->something practically non-existent in movie Brazilian films houses around and about Brazil with the people simply by easily communicate And statistics demonstrate Portuguese. speaking that a hall with good sound equipment enjoys a larger public for Brazilian films. As a matter of fact, it is a proof of the vitality of Brazilian cinema, of its ability to communicate with the people, the fact that it can be understood even when up to half the dialog is tost because of defective sound obligatory to include one short of a cultural, technical, scientific or informational character in every program where a foreign feature is shown. Besides this, and even anticipating the law, we have made contact with various governors with a view to decentralizing film production, that is, so that films may be made in regional centers, to which part of the production interest would also be transferred. We have on the way to consummation a convention with the Government of Minas Gerais according to which Embrafiime will assign to that state, as it will assign to Rio Grande do Sul and Bahia, a percentage of its appropriation, which when complemented by the state government is to be used in the production of films on regional themes, whether of history or folklore, based on the work of local writers. The films thus produced are to employ a certain number of regional technicians (all these states have active movie groups) and a percentage of technicians from Rio and Sao Paulo, so that film workers in the interior may quickly attain the levels demanded by Embrafiime as regards technical quality. Thus they themselves may later apply for financing by Embrafiime without needing the presence of professionals from Rio and Sao Paulo. So then the idea is to interchange Brazilian culture north and south, east and west, and to make it possible for all the people of Brazil to understand each other and recognize each other’s true face and peculiarities. Further anticipating approval of the law by the National Congress, Embrafiime is going to complement an appropriation which the Department of Cultural Affairs of the Ministry of Education and Culture assigned by auction to the production of shorts, which should provide, through INC, the possibility of doubling the number df these shorts from 14 to 28. — „ — Upon approval of the law by the Executive (it was sent to Congress on 19 August 1975), Embrafilme will assume the role previously attributed to the Institute Nacional do Cinema, and its capital will rise from Cr$6 million to Cr$ 80 million. Before my time Embrafilme only did financing. My predecessor, Walter Graciosa, began to make it a distributor and producer, and initiated the process of fusion with INC. Today Embrafilme is enjoying sound growth. As a distributor it invoiced in August of 1974, for example, Cr$ 1.421.438,74. This year, in the same month of . — — — equipment. It must be remembered that Brazilian cinema already has everything necessary. Producers have gone bankrupt, have started over, but have always sought to give the best of themselves. They make every type of film: the hermetic film, the open film, the difficult symbolic film. They are always searching for a path and suffering, most of the time in silence and without trying to throw responsibility on others. It is the minimum right to which a moving picture professional is entitled to fight for conditions to practice the activity he has chosen, just as others have in the activities they have chosen. Serving as a school for new film workers throughout the world, the short revealed in Brazil practically the whole range of the New Cinema from Joaquim Pedro de Andrade (CouroDeGata, 1960), to Paulo Cesar Saraceni and Mario Carneiro (Arraial Do Cabo, 1959). Beginning in 1966 with installation of the JB-Mesbla Festival, the short acquired still greater importance for Brazilian cinema. This Festival brought forward names such as Xavier de Oliveira (Andre, A Cara E A Coragem), Antonio Carlos Fontoura (O Capitao Bandeira Contra O Dr. Moura Brasil, 1971), Oswaldo Caldeira (Passe Livre, 1973), and the “devilish” Rogerio Sganzerla (O Bandido Da Luz Vermelha, 1968). The bill expanding the functions of Embrafilme and extinguishing 'NC provides for a great and well-merited assistance to the short by making it — — August, it invoiced Cr$ 7.331.321,48. This year, 1975, through the immediate Plan of Action which we forwarded to the Secretariat of Planning of the President's Office, through the we had extra Ministry of Education and Culture and market studies of resources for production the order of Cr$ 7.800.000. We have a promise from MEC of Cr$ 5 million for application in historical films, and we have Cr$ 1 million more in Minas Gerais, Cr$ 1 million more in Sao Paulo, and Cr$ 2 million in RioGrande do Sul. Therefore, this year we increased the available funds of the enterprise by Cr$ 16.800.000, which is equivalent to double the normal receipts of Embrafilme, which is about Cr$ 7 million derived from taxes charged on foreign films. This money has not yet actually been applied. We have begun to use it only this month, owing to a series of technical factors. It is nowthat the new harvest of productions of the enterprise is going to begin, in addition to what was being done when I took office this occurred more particularly because of the need to relieve the producer market, which for eight months had practically come to a stop. At that point we began, the production of a number of films, many of which are now about ready. If at the time we had tried to plan production the producers would not have resisted. This year, perceiving that we did not have, as we still do not have, money to finance the whole of Brazilian cinema, we have sought to increase the resources and plan their application. And at this moment we have a better perspective on the whole problem, and feel that Embrafifme can now attain its true scale and dimensions. By this we mean not only to concern ourselves with the various types of financing that the enterprise offers, with everything necessary to maintain moving picture activity, but to undertake planning in depth, aiming at an action capable of modifying movie consumption habits in the country in favor of our history, of our writers, of our folklore, of our roots, of what we are.

It also deals with the elements of the syncretic Afro-Religion; Brazilian’s Umbanda. All shot in Caxias, a village near Rio famous for its outlawness, the fable of a smalltime gangster turned immortal by virtue of a powerful amulet gives a deep insight into the most underprivileged classes in the Country. “It’s a film for the people which doesn’t mean it isn't conventionally ‘commercial.’ The difference between one and the other, is that the popular film is not concerned with supply and demand; above all, it tries to capture a vision of the people, of the reality that surrounds them. My film doesn’t have a sociology, doesn’t make judgments about the characters, doesn’t take anyone's side. To me, it is like my first film.'’ (Nelson Pereira dos Santos) Nelson Pereira Dos Santos Born in Sao Paulo in 1928.

Woth Othon Bastos, Isabel Ribeiro, Vanda Lacerda, Nildo Parente, Mario Lago, Jofre Soares. "Graciliano Ramos’ novel is so rich that it surpasses its temporal limitations and reaches through to our days, in its unveiling of the process of a man who gears himself toward capitalistic consolidation and, at the same time, tries to know himself, exposes himself in the act of literary creation. He goes on inquiring about himself in his own text, taking a position of antithesis, and the audience itself becomes aware of the general and social process, by force of which the character cannot become aware of himself and therefore lives his (the character’s) tragedy. This is a situation that could happen either in 1927 or in 1977.” (Leon Hirszman) Graciliano Ramos is also the writer of “Vidas Secas” (Barren Lives), which was the origin of another masterpiece of Brazilian Cinema, directed by Nelson Pereira dos Santos.

NOEL NUTELS Directed by Marcos Altberg. 20 minutes. Color and Black and White. DOMINGO Directed by Geraldo Sarno. 15 minutes. Color. A Note on Short Films One of the most fascinating aspects of Brazilian short films is their versitility and the fact that they stem from a documentary tradition that is searching and revealing like Alberto Cavalcanti’s work in the British documentary film school, that is lyrical like the films of Murneau, that has the poetic objectivity of Flaherty, and that knows the -cinematic consciousness of Dziga Vertov. The short films made in Brazil‘are the work of filmmakers already established with more than one feature, such as Gustavo Dahl, Geraldo Farno and David Nevez or of newcomers like Marcos Altberg. Noel Nutels is an exceptional film about the life of an exceptional man who protected the Indians in Brazil without patronizing or compromising them. The film shows footage made by Nutels himself and it makes up one of the most poignant documentaries about the plight if the Brazilian Indians. Altberg was assistant director to Joachim Pedro do Povo on "Inconfidantes,” a product of RAI Italian Television. Domingo is by Geraldo Sarno, who is the John Grierson of Brazil, just as Thomas Farkas is the producer par excellence of a school of Brazilian documentary which could bear his name. The film is a poem about a feira in a square in the Brazilian northeast and it aims an analytical eye on the social process of the weekly gathering of the inhabitants of that region. In a way, every film is a documentary and this is especially true of Brazilian films whether they are fiction or reportage, features or shorts, because of their directions and because of the peculiarity of the market. Brazilian film has an “ethnoparallel” market for its production universities, film clubs, cable and commercial television. Documentaries accompany features on most programs in commercial theatres in Brazil, and the films presented in this series are just the smallest representation of such works from some of the most interesting of the new filmmakers in Brazil. — �May 4 9:00 P.M.

With Isabel Ribeiro, Claudio Marzo, Roberto Batalin, Nildo Parente. Alma, a prostitute, narrates the story of her life through the diary of a man whose love she has spurned. A rare and compelling work, it stretches out like the work of a syrribolist poet, for its power lies in the suggestivenesi* of the sequences. Zelito Vianna Born in Fortaleza (Ceara) in 1938. Founder of Mapa Filmes with Glauber Rocha, his two first films "A Doce Mulher Amada” (1972) and “Minha Namorada” (1973) were successful attempts to bring wide audiences to Cinema Novo films. “Alma,” based on Oswald de Andrade’s "Os Condenados” is his best film so far.

With Betty Faria, Odete Lara, Paulo Cesar Pereio, Carlos Eduardo Dolabella. The story of a poor girl who becomes a famous TV star is too close to “A Star Is Born" not to avoid comparisons, but what is stressed in this version is the guts-to-make-it, in spite of the odds being against it. Bruno Barreto is a wonder-man in Brazil: this second film by a 23 year-old filmmaker was the greatest box-office hit in Brazil in 1974, and his new film “Dona Flor e Seus Dois Maridos” broke all the records of foreign pictures like ‘'Jaws” and “The Towering Inferno.” Bruno Barreto has been making films since he was a child. Son of Luis Carlos Barreto, Brazil’s foremost film producer, he grew up under the influence of the be?t film-makers of Brazil and abroad. His first film\ “Tati, a Garota," was a hit, and he established himself as the most reliable box-office certaintly in Brazil this decade. �The New Cinema / The first signs of renovation of the Brazilian cinema began to be felt at the beginning of the fifties. A group of young enthusiasts opened an offensive on two fronts; against the loss of national character in the more. ambitious productions, such as those of Vera Cruz; and against the chanchadas. The work of these youths was welcomed by respected critics such as, among others, Alex Viany; P. F. Gastal from Rio Grande do Sul; Paulo Emilio Sales Gomes and Francisco de Almeida Sales from Sao Paulo; and Valter da Silveira from Bahia. A plan of action began to be laid out in the two congresses of the Brazilian motion picture industry held in Rio (1952) and Sao Paulo (1953). The line which began with Favela De Meus Amores, passing through Joao Nlnguem, Moleque Tiao and Tudo Azul (Everything Rosy), mixing with influences of the English documentary and Italian neo-realism, came to full flower in the first film of the critic Alex Viany, Agulha No Palheiro (Needle in a Haystack), in which Nelson Pereira dos Santos served as assistant director. The same inspiration motivated the first two films of Nelson Pereira dos Santos, Rio 40 Graus (1955) and Rio Zona Norte (Rio, North Zaone) (1957), as well as his third production, O Grande Momenta (The Great Moment) (1958), directed by Roberto Santos. Rio, Quarenta Graus was in fact the starting point of the movement. The film grew out of an idea of Arnaldo Farias: to focus on the most varied aspects of the city, the unifying element being some young sellers of peanuts. With a devoted team that included the photographer Helio Silva and the composer Ze Keti, Nelson Pereira dos Santos formed a new kind of cooperative, devising a new type of production as to both method and purpose. Between*) 958 and 1962 there came a series of experimemirln shorts and 16mm. Individually or in groups, new creative figures participated, Joaquim Pedro de Andrade, among them Maurice Capovilla, Mario Carneiro, Eduardo Coutipho Carlos Diegues, Marcos Farias, Alvaro Gdmiafahs, Leon Hirszman, David Neves, Linduarte Noronha, Luiz Sergio Person, Glauber Rocha, Luiz Paulino dos Santos and Paulo Cesar SaWfpn.bhc Shorts such as Arraial Do Cabo, 1959, by Mario Carneiro an£ Paulo CesarSaraceni, began to give forrn to tHe'movement, as did Amanda, (1960), by Linduarte Noronha. And fictional shorts, such as Couro De Gato (CatSkin), (1960), by Joaquim Pedro de Andrade, and O Menino Das Calcas Brancas (The Boy with the White Pants), (1962), by Sergio Ricardo, reinforced the tendency. This last saw the first work of Dib Lutfi, brother of the director and later one of the leaders of the movement. Arraial Do Cabo and Couro De Gato won various international prizes and served to strengthen the movement, which at the beginning of the sixties was already beginning to be known as the New Cinema. Films such as Bahia De Todos Os Santos (AllSaints Bay) by Trigueirinho Neto: Barravento, by Glauber Rocha (1961), Porto Das Caixas (Box Port), by Paulo CesarSaraceni (1962); AssaltoAo Trem Pagador, by Roberto Farias (1962), and Os Cafajestes, by Ruy Guerra (1962), contributed to swell the national and international prestige of the movement. In 1962 Anselmo Duarte, with O Pagador De Promessas (The Given Word), won the Gold Palm at Cannes. Between the Cannes Festival of 1962, with the prize to Anselmo Duarte, and that of 1969, when Glauber Rocha won the prize for best directing with O Dragao Da Maldade Contra O Santo Guerreiro (Antonio das Mortes), the slogan "a camera in your hand and an idea in your head” attributed to Glauber Rocha, became a kind of motto for the movement. The expression meant an inexpensive cinema, without studios: social cinema, signed by the author. Nelson Pereira dos Santos, attempting to summarize, said: “The main result of the New Cinema was the cultural affirmation of Brazilian pictures.” The movement served to create its own pubtrc, a'publie'Mwhhad not believed in the national cinema before. Further, it brought Brazilian moving pictures up to date in terms of language and technique. Internationally, at a certain point, it came to be looked on as one of the most revoluntionary creative centers of modern films. Another film by Nelson Pereira dos Santos, Vidas Secas (Barren Lives) (1963), a strict rendering of the novel by Graciliano RamoS, is seen as bringing the New Cinema to maturity. Luis Carlos Barreto photographed it in the state of Alagoas, and succeeded, according to Alex Viany, "in recording the hard sunlight of the Backlands, and in creating an atmosphere of desolation.” A second phase of the movement might be seen in Deus E O Diabo Na Terra Do Sol (Black God, White Devil), by Glauber Rocha, inspired by the handbill literature at country fairs in the Northeast, and by the music of Villa-Lobos. This film, from 1964, was to be followed by O Dragao Da Maldade Contra O Santo Guerreiro (Antonio das Mortes) (1969). A third phase might be said to be present in Macunaima, by Joaquim Pedro de Andrade, According to many critics, this third phase began with Terra Em Transe, by Glauber Rocha (1967), and was carried forward by O Dragao Da Maldade Contra O Santo Guerreiro. It turned to allegory as a means of expression, with doses of sarcasm and a conscious and unconscious phastasy, seeking means at times to overcome difficulties imposed on the themes. After a certain point, anthropophagy is present, in films such as Fome De Amor (Hunger for Love), by Nelson Pereira dos Santos (1968), and Brasil, Ano 2000 (Brazil, Year 2000), by Walter Lima Jr. (1969), Os Herdeiros (The Heirs), by Carlos Diegues (1969), and O Profeta Da Fome (The Prophet of Hunger), by Maurice Capovilla (1969). The Takeoff With 25 years in the profession he began as an assistant in the chanchadas of Atlantida and one of the most substantial records of achievement in Brazilian films, O AssaltoAoTremPagador, Selva Tragica (Tragic Jungle) and O DiamanteCor-DeRosa (The Pink Diamond), Roberto Farias, a “Fluminense" of 44, came to be General Director of Embrafilme with a greater responsibility than his predecessors: that of not throwing away the first opportunity given to a man “of the profession” to do something enduring for the Brazilian cinema. From the other side of the table, Roberto Farias crosses the threshold of 1976 with the possibility in hand of conducting our film industry to economies of scale, thanks to an expansion of the attributions of Embrafilme, to elevation of its capital from Cr$ 6 million to Cr$ 80 million and to a series of measures taken by the Federal Government (Proposed Law n. 911 dated 19 August 1975) with a view of guaranteeing, by economic development of Brazilian cinema, the very affirmation of the national consciousness. The 112 Days At the beginning of the fifties, Brazilian fulllength film production came to about 20 a year. During the sixties it rose to about 30, and reached 80-100 films at the beginning of the seventies. In 1961 the reserved market (obligatory exhibition of Brazilian films as against days devoted to foreign films) was 42 days a year. From 1964 to 1969 it was 56 days. From then on, Brazilian producers and directors sought to increase the reservatirn to 112 days. This was accomplished only recently. - - �BRAZILIAN CINEMA Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow by Fabiano Canosa — (Translated by Kenneth Rasmussen) Cinema was born under the sign of Capricorn (December 28, 1895). Less than a year later, it reached Brazil and, according to chroniclers of the period, was a great success and immediately became part of the daily activities of a public hungry for novelty. It brought together music, ballet, sex, action, performance as well as an “intimate scene.” It called itself Cinematographo and the scena was silent. The first Brazilian film criticism spoke of a "Cock fight,” leading us to wonder if at that early stage some dauntless filmmaker hadn’t already filmed the first images of Brazil. As in the U.S., Brazilian cinema required the participation of newly-arrived groups from Europe, a new art, still in the formative stage, needing the cooperation of immigrants, of the unemployed, of those in search of a new life or a new profession. In those days, theatrical impresarios joined forces with rash adventurers. The first proprietor of a show salon, Pascoal Segreto, a photographer of great repute and one of the first to immortalize the people and landscapes of Rio de Janeiro, found it unavoidable to join forces with a wellknow evader of the law in order to be able to install on the famed Rua do Quvidor of the poets Bilac and Coelho Neto and of the shops displaying the latest Paris fashions, the Cinematografo Super Lumiere, which received its first important personality in 1898 when President Prudente de Morais, unable to resist the impact of novelty, was in attendance, opening the way for the proliferation of show places in Rio de Janeiro. The tribute paid the Lumiere demonstrated the irresistible necessity of documenting on film the everyday life of the country. Film writers began to come forth, giving witness to the beauties of Rio, to events and personalities of Brazil. The documentary school was an extensibn of the fascination exerted by photography, and Rio de Janeiro became the cradle of cinematographic production in Brazil. During this period, when the world’s heart palpitated in the expectation of the turn of the century and the fulfillment of the predictions of Jules Verne, when industrialization carried the promises of the epic feats of rapid transportation, of radio, of the telegraph, and even television, the atmosphere of anticipation centered around the marvels of electrical energy and the fantastic power of the cinema, which permitted us to view Paris and the Champs-Elysees without having to spend a fortnight on a boat. The documentario transformed the mind of a generation dazzled by the power of this new kind of spectacle— circusin like its origin, theatrical in presentation—turning it into another alternative for gatherings, love affairs, and discussions. But Melies had already reached our shores with his fanciful and whimsical sets and his appeal to fiction. The juxtapositioning of the documentary with the lunar fantasies and the pantomine of the first adtors to be internationally recognized, paved the way for the creation of the first cinematographic genre in Brazil; the police film. OS ESTRANGULADORES (The Stranglers), O CRIME DA MALA (The Crime of the Trunk), in their various Rio and Sao Paulo versions, brought the weekly serial to graphic representation via the movies. At that moment, Brazilian cinema acquired its polemical shape, and at the same time won all Brazilian audiences. Speaking to regional topics, which aroused public opinion and created movie houses newspaper headlines, disseminated crude -versions of events already part of public awareness throughtout the country. The second phase was a consequence of the belle-epoque, the period of Franz Lehar and Sarah" Bernhardt. Cinema decided to intellectualize itself, to musicalize itself. And singing films came forth. Theatrical impresarios brought lyric singers into movie salons and recreated The Merry Widow and Carlos GomesO GUARANI. As would occur years later with a classic American musical, Singing in the rain, the actors would remain behind the screen, just dubbing the actors interpreting the roles of Prince Danilo, or Ceci, or Peri (KR: the latter two are characters from O Guarani). FOUNDERS OF CINEDIA — includes Humberto Mauro, the greatest filmmaker of the 20's and 30's, and Adhemar Gonzaga, the greatest producer. The invention allied itself with political satire, and the son of the celebrated abolitionist Jose do Patroclnio wrote a film script that spoke of President Nilo Pecanha with the same irreverence of the great political cartoons of the time. PAZ E AMOR (Peace and Love), and CHANTECLER, which followed, continued the line of satire, mixing couplets with the 1 comedy of manners. This time the object was the politician Pinheiro Machado. Both had a grand finale filmed on the battle ship Minas Gerais. With the popularization of movies, restrictions began to be imposed. A drama about the naval man Joao Candido, who headed a revolt in 1910, was immediately filmed, projected on the screen, and censored. With these restrictions came the beginnings of fear and timidity. It appeared 16 be easier and safer to accept what came from the outside, which was not so controversial because it kept its distance in latitude and in polemics. The imported product of the large studio corporations began to appear. The first of them lumped together European and American films, and Brazilian production felt a frigid wave of air. However the Great War slowed down international production and a new period of revitalization came forth out of Sao Paulo. Another immigrant, Vittorio Capellaro, who had worked with Duse and Di Lorenzo, began to film masterpieces of Brazilian literature, using as his model the great successes of cinema dell'arte which enjoyed great prestige in Brazil. INOCENCIA by Taunay, an unconditional bestseller, was closely followed by the films of a new director, who would eventually prove to be one of the splendors of Brazilian cinema—Luiz de Barros. Lulu (the affectionate nickname of this creator of more than 60 movies) filmed the works of Jose de Alencar, and achieved the feat of contracting Brazil’s most famous actor, Leopoldo Froes, for his best known film, PERDIDA. Capellaro wasted no time and filmed O GUARANI, also by Jose de Alencar, the most Indianist of all South American novels, in the tradition of Nathaniel Hawthrone. Also due to the Great War, a new trend, this time of epic proportions, developed—the film of national unity. Already in 1914, PATRIA E BANDEIRA (Fatherland and Flag)-was dealing with German espionage. PATRIA BRASILEIRA, from the same period, enjoyed the cooperation of one of Brazil’s great poets, Olavo Bilac. At the same time there appeared on the scene in Sao Paulo the first expert in propaganda films, Gilberto Rossi. Rossi produced films whose message was to sell the name of a politician or a national campaign. Rossi made himself a lot of money, but was unsatisfied with the results of his work. In 19t9 he created the first cinema school in Brazil, and shortly thereafter produced the first masterpiece of Brazilian cinema, EXEMPLO REGENERADOR, by the filmmaker Jose Medina. The best known examples of the new art began to exert new influences, and the pattern of the media manipulators began to make its presence known—the star system was born, and with it, O CANGACEIRO directed by Lima Barreto, best action film, Cannes (1953), Brazil's major hit of the 50's. — d/nearte, specialized publications, among whi the most complete journal of film existing in B razil to this day, the most organic in the sense of giving a unique prominence to the best of what was being done throughout the world,' including 'HugjioiTo 1 Brazil. The publication was the a dream of Paul Benedetti and two 'dlHerna fanatics—Adhemar Gonzaga and Pedro Lima. The decade of the twenties saw the proliferation of film centers in Brazil; Rio and Sao Paulo sharing prominence with, among others, Cataguazes and Recife. Films were being made from the Amazon to the Pampas. Distribution was in its infancy, filmg never reached the large urban centers, and the power of the monopolies in the distribution and showing of films was making itself known. All of which did not impede the creation of memorable films such as AITARE DA PRAIA, filmed by Aurora Filme of Recife, or the appearance of Brazil’s greatest director, Humberto Mauro, a native of the interior of Minas Gerais, whose films the journal Cinearte warmly applauded, and which reached the screens of Rio and Sao Paulo, such being the impact of their artistic excellence. A variety of genres abounded, precipitating the most daring of films, such as VICIO E BELEZA, whose screening was restricted to gentlemen only, not to mention films on religious, social, and urban themes, police films, documentaries, and even westerns, such as E. C. Kerrigan’s (a very Brazilian American) SOFRER PARA GOZAR (Suffer to Enjoy). Kerrigan was a Brazilianized American who lived under a pseudonym. The end of the decade brought spoken movies, and with it a Byzantine argument about the necessity or non-necessity of sound in cinematic production. Polemics didn't stop Lulu de Barros from making his first talkie: ACABARAM-SE OS OTARIOS, the story of a man who bought a trolley. The spoken movie was the great culprit of -tfwtransformation, as the poet, Noel Rosa used to say . . . With spoken movies, it seemed that foreign films would enter a crisis stage that would restrict them to the country of their origin. Much was said about the impossibility of spectators adapting to the system of subtitles. It was a moment of euphoria for national producers. �With the patronage of the Cinearte group, the creation of Cinedia, the,support of a new medium (radio), and the inspiration of American musicals of the Broadway Melody type, a series of musical reviews began to overrun Brazil. The beginning of the new decade saw the production of 30 Brazilian films, and among those of greatest artistic success, were works of Humberto Mauro who had emigrated from Cataguazes to Rio de Janeiro. LABIOS EM BEIJOS (1930) was followed by GANGA BRUTA, perhaps the greatest of Mauro’s films. GANGA BRUTA demonstrated the Brazilian film could communicate with audiences in a different way than the proponents of the earlier musical comedies had thought possible. The high artistic standard, the influence of the great films, not their imitation, crystalized through the sensitivity of a great author, allowed for the appearance of a genuinely Brazilian cinema which erased the gratuitousness from the comedy. Nevertheless, it was still the comedy which became, up until the fifties, the Brazilian genre par excellence. Despite its detractors, the chanchada which had its roots in the theatre (KR: Brazilian in caipira revue and backwoodsman) vaudeville, was able to provide Brazilian cinema with an audience that remained faithful until the advent of television. It was in that transition period still, when radio began to relate news about the Capital in Rio, uniting Brazilians and popularizing personalities from the artistic, social,’and political world, that there appeared a strange film, related to the most avant-garde schools of cinema of the time, Mario Peixoto’s LIMITE. LIMITE 'turned out to be the “Semana de Arte Moderna” (1922) of Brazilian cinema, ten years later. An art film, free from compromise, it gave rise to a polemic that has not yet subsided. Few saw it, but legend has it that Eisenstein characterized it as a unique contribution to the development of cinema d’auteur. The truth is that, independently of LIMITE’s having opened and closed the cycle of films in Brazil affiliated with the avant-garde of Bunuel and L’Herbier, it belongs to a long tradition of auteurist cinema that started with Jose Medina, passed through Peixoto, continued with Azevedo and Mauro, and arrived at the present with Trigueirinho Neto, Nelsop fipneira dos Santos, Glauber Rocha and Julio Bressane. The Vargas regime, which controlled Brazil from 1930 until the end of the Second War, was populist and status-quo oriented. Even with the slowdown |rfhP'Brazilian films, the government didn't sidestep 4he responsibility of giving it a modicum of protection. The first “degree of obligatoriness,” through which a certain ratio of days was guaranteed for the exhibition of Brazilian made movies, was issued and the first producers’ and technicians’ associations were formed. At the same time there was a surge of films produced by the government, and shortlength films became the guarantee of surviyal for the film technician in Brazil—and then, in alliance with national exhibitors, the power of international capital promoted and decreed the “death” of Brazilian cinema. At the same time, it seemed impossible to create a truly Brazilian cinema when foreign films ha0 succeeded in overcoming problems of accessibility with an international public via the ' • Burle promised the necessary union of artistic quality and popular appeal, which Brazilian film enthusiasts awaited anxiously. MOLEQUE TIAO, which definitively launched the career of Grande Otelo, was the first movie to propose an urban cinema and to discuss the social problems of the majority, which was still being viewed as a minority. While this . was taking place, spectators continued to give preference to comedies. New names came forth, all of them extremely popular: Oscarito, Grande Otelo himself, Jayme Costa, Mesquitinha. Atlantida, which had met resistance on the part of exhibitors, was acquired by one of them, and production orientation changed radically. The end of the '40’s solidified the prestige of the chanchada, and twice each year, Atlantida actors could be seen in carnival musical comedies which served as a plug for radio hits or in pastiches of American movies like Samson and Delilah and High Noon. The years following the War gave birth in the minds of many to the idea of a more “high class” cinema. What followed was the elitism that had its highest degree of expression in the Vera Cruz company. Alberto Cavalcanti, who had done more for French and English cinema than for his own country, was rushed to Sao Paulo. A studio was built in Sao Bernardo do Campo, and films as good as those made in Hollywood were promised. Cavalcanti came, saw, and lost interest in the project before Vera Cruz’s first film was launched. He founded his own company, made two good movies O CANTO DO MAR and SIMAO, O CAOLHO and returned to Europe, taking with him the ire of his enemies at Vera Cruz, both those who hoped for a cinema less compromised in aesthetic standards and by foreign models, and those who had no faith in Brazilian cinema. The major tactical error of Vera Cruz was having turned over distribution of its films to a foreign company. The result was catastrophic, and the consolidation of national production via Difilm and the major successes of new Brazilian cinema could not be felt. Meanwhile, in the midst of all these blunders, Vera Cruz produced the first film to have worldwide repercussions and to win a prize; Lima Barreto’s O CANGACEIRO. Vera Cruz also . generated the greatest period of film activity in Sao Paulo, giving rise to names like Walter Hugo Khouri, Roberto Santos, Garcia, Mazzaropi, instead of the Aestheticists who had recently arrived in Brazil without any experience with a Brazilian public. It was during this period that independent production in Rio discovered its own outlet. Alex Viany’s AGULHA NO PALHEIR6, with directorial assistance from Nelson Pereira dos Santos, who later was to become the founder of the New Brazilian Cinema AGULHA NO PALHEIRO was intended to be an urban comedy without the hullabaloo of broadcast flicks which were the basic prop of the chanchada. The film escaped nobody's attention, and it succeeded in infusing Brazilian cinema with the hope of being able to reach authentic standards of quality. Television absorbed the drawing power of radio, and the chanchada began to disappear from Brazilian cinema. The first serious films produced were totally devoid of authenticity, and suffocatingly artificial. At thife point Nelson Pereira dos Santos completed his first movies, RIO QUARENTA GRAUS, under the influence of the neo-realist model of Luciano Emmer and Steno Monicelli. RIO QUARENTA GRAUS enraptured whose who were able to see it during its brief appearance. Yet it was seen by a good number of people, among them students, movie buffs, and intellectuals. The masses had no part in the success of Nelson Pereira dos Santos’ first film, but it was there, portrayed on the screen, and the pathway to a dialogue had been established for the first time outside of the hackneyed standards of the chanchada. From that point on it was necessary to more directly and cohesively attack the weaknesses in the everyday problems of Brazilian cinema, and at last the direction had been established. Brazilian movies began to reappear, and frohn then on the media would write extensively about them—the first international successes, the Gold Palm for Anselmo Duarte’s O PAGADOR DE PROMESSAS, Glauber Rocha’s first film, Carlos GANGA Diegues’ BARRAVENTO, ZUMBA, Leon Hirszman’s PEDREIRA Db SAO DIOGO, Paulo Cesar Sarraceni’s PORTO DAS CAIXAS, and so many others. A new aesthetic was being created, an aesthetic of our own, that had to do with the “in progress” stage of our new plans. It was a strategic moment in which it was necessary to reaffirm, reevaluate, and restructure, in order to assure the survival of our ideas and actions, and the permanent participation in national decisions in the fields of art, culture, and politics. In the last ten years what ground has been won for Brazilian cinema is the firm establishment of its prestige within its on market. The world wide artistic success of Brazilian directors would not be so significant were it not for the unanimous acceptance Of the Brazlian people. The struggle goes on. Production costs have increased. New techniques demand a kind of attention that far exceeds that given to the incipient productions of yesteryear. As in all developing countries, cinema in Brazil occupies a fundamental place in the enlightenment of its communities, awakening discussion and creating new models. Television will support it to the extent that the mosaic of our living rooms extendantself to accept and to come to intimate terms wifh the new. The end goal is to stimulate the Brazilian spectator, constantly thirsting for more information, to awaken in him an interest in Brazilian cinema as a renovating element of the language of cinematics, continuing the tradition established by the pioneers and solidifying the prestige already won. The major victory of Brazilian cinema is that today it reflects all the tendencies manifested in the course of its history. All of these tendencies seek a dialogue with the public which is at the same time polemical, active, sensual, dynamic, and sophisticated. use of printed subtitles. The closing years of the ’30’s saw the continuation of a battle that still echoes in the reaction of exhibitors against the penetrations of the Brazilian cinema market. The Second Great War and the Good Neighbor Policy had a lot to do with it: the war efforts set limitations on the already shaky situation of Brazilian production, and for years the only activity that seemed acceptable to national producers was the compulsory showing of Brazilian newsreels and movies produced by the recently-created National Institute of Educational Films, the creation of Roquette Pinto under the tutelage of Humbertq Mauro who, having departed for Cinedia, collaborated in the production of some 200 short-length features. Nevertheless, an occasional success kept the flame burning: BONEQUINHA DE SEDA by Oduvaldo Vianna, FAVELA DE MEUS AMORES, and ARGILA, both by Mauro, the latter 1 prodlW&'d and starred in by Carmen Santos, a most extraordinary personality, a staunch defender of Brazilian cinema, and one of its most active names. In 1941 three movie buffs decided to found a new company.

Carrier current method One of the first distinctions made was the method of WIRC's broadcasts, The station broadcasts throughout the carrier current method, that is, not rhough the airwaves but through the power lines of all the dormitories on the Main Street Campus. Therefore, reception can be gathered from either an outlet or a portable radio within 10 feet of the socket. It is difficult to pick up the station with an expensive sterio because of filters in the* receivers, so it is advised that the best medium for use is either a clock-radio or a cheap stereo. Another disadvantage in broadcasting -this way is that any interference-picked up along the power lines is liable to affect the signal. joyo 9(11 I the Mike and Harold expressed their extreme diversity and success of their programming.

Mike; tkre (station's manager, cites communication problems with IRC, WIRC's ownerSf as a major obstacle to this goal. He explained that WIRC finds certairvitems for the station, prices them and tries to locate-an IRC official who can be convinced that the parts are necessary. Convincing seems to be hard to do as IRC, he says, tends to always give the station a budget that is never big enought. The requested budget for '77-'78 is $3,800, which will guarantee reception to every, dormitory student going to this school. According to Mike, this is a "year that is at turning-point year." Chances are that WIRC will not make the move to the Amherst Campus. The station's operators are requesting a 5-room set-up at the Ellicott Complex for the near future to function as a normal AM — ! l .. station's call letters had been WIRR and it was a disaster in every sense of the word. Come the beginning of this semester, enter the Magic Trio, Mike Kuprijanow, Harold Kozlowski, and Dan Gurzynski, the station should undergo tremendous transition. These three students, the General Manager, Musical Director and Chief Engineer respectively, have improved the signal vastly, broadcasting on the 640 wavelength. Many ambitious new disc jockeys became a regular part of the station's programming. Record distributors and radio stations donated many records to start a new library where previously there was none. Nev\> equipment was installed in the station to give a more professional touch to the production. The "renaissance" of WIRC has amazed this writer quite a bit, and, being one of the "jocks" of the station as well, I have witnessed this transformation. In reactiqn to this occasion, I recently spoke with Mike and Harold in my own Clement Hall Headquarters to discuss the station's remarkable progress arid potentially outrageous future. station The station presently is badly in need of a new location due to the multiplying expansions as the months go on. The studio has several milk containers that constitute shelves for the record library, which needs more room each week. There is also little organization of spare parts, and tools are hard to keep track of. In addition, to the need of a production room, all of these components comprise only two rooms, a sore deficit in space. Phone line needed Two love stories in the French style are this weekend's UUAB films in the Squire/Norton Conference Theatre: French-Canadian Claude Jutra's Kamouraska tonight and Claude Chabrol's acclaimed Prodigal Sun Une Partie De Plaisir (A Piece of Pleasure) tomorrow and Sunday. The dopey midnight films are The Cocaine Fiends and Jimi Plays Berkeley, with Jimi Hendrix, of course. Call 831-5117 for times. As far as the method of broadcasting to Amherst is concerned, the transmitter at the Governors Complex is already intact and functioning. What is needed now is a phone line laid in to transmit the signal from Main Street. A few different attempts are being toyed around with to accomplish their connection with an Ellicott audience, including weak transmissions through the air. A few comments were made on WIRC's outlook for the '77-'78 school year. If WBUF loses its unique “progressive" format and status as well, WIRC may be the only such rock station accessible to this school. Pending the approval of their budget, there will be an acquisition of more records, new equipment, and the reality of Governors’ and Ellicott's reception. It appears that the crucial money is needed to spark the station to even further accomplishments. WIRC will also become the "voice of campuS events," using its programming facilities. "WBFO has alienated itself from the school and the student body. WIRC will fill the gap that WBFO has left," claims Kozlowski, the Musical Director. WIRC is fast becoming new turf for student-run operations, this ti me in the medium of the radio. If the dice fall the right way for them, there will soon be outstanding new escapades over the radio at this university that will give WIRC a place at the top. Friday, 29 April 1977 . The Spectrum .

Friday, 29 April 1977 Prodigal Sun , �time to- forget RECORDS Brothers) The New Beachboys' album is a change and it should reaffirm the group's righteous place in rock apd roll history. Think about it: what is the retrospective identity of the Beachboys? More often than not this famous California incarnation reflects tales of the endless wave, A Little Deuce Coupe, maybe some sidewalk surfin', of course fine suntanned California Girls and probably even a little bit of that old, beach blanket bingo. No doubt about it, it is very hard to obliterate the memory of their ambient wave of AM classics. One can attribute the quality of this scheme to the concentrated and oddball genius of always moody and withdrawn Brian Wilson. 1 Although he is a ' non-rock and roller if there ever was one, his importance as a sociological pundit cannot be denied. ,lt is his sole effort that made the Beachboys such viable American contenders when that whole pop genre began to stretch out in the early and middle sixties. Look at the statistics which overwhelmingly prove the point. Better yet place the ageless and hedonistic "Good Vibrations" anthem in a playlist of any of this year's top ten list (your choice) and marvel as it stands out as vibrantly today as it did when it first rose to the top of the pops. But let us discontinue any further advance down this avenue. nostalgic Enough superlatives have been awarded the Beachboys to go around all those harmony groups that never achieved such fame and glory. It is — ' > — — , The Beachboys Love You (Warner the past, to misusing its importance and placing it out of context "Surfer Girl" belongs in that same age of antiquity which upholds the sexiness of Annette Funicello.

The Beachboys Love You is a straight forward plunge, yet it further propagates the group's especially Brian Wilson's microcosm of the American Dream. There is no fun in the sun on this LP. I suggest N.Y.'s Blondie if you want that. As of late the sunset is an orange fireball all aglow and radiant. It sets aside a space tor that occur in more, secular moments. Unlike the disasterous 15 Big Ones, virtually an all oldies package, this new album brings forth the re-emergence ‘of bountiful Brian Wilson as the masterful musician, discontinue lyricist, that arranger.and producer he is. As an onstage performer Wilson is all smiles, yet appearance his is often uncoordinated, as if he was totally insecure of his whereabouts. Once in the studio, however, Brian proves he can be as spontaneous and tasteful as his mentor, Phil Spector. A song ,on the new album, "Mona," pays direct homage to Brian's favorite producer. "Come on listen to "Da Do Ron Ron" now/Listen to "Be My Baby'VYou're Gonna Love Phil SoeCtor." First of all let it be mentioned th?t all 14 tracks on this album have been penned lay Brian Wilson, with only outside help coming from Michael Love, Alan Jardine and Roger McGuinn (of all people) on three tracks. Elsewhere, Earl Mankey of Quick and Sparks fame offers technical aid in the booth. If several songs fear over simplicity and naivity there are none that match the continually lackluster attempts of LP number 19, with reference in particular to the originals, "The TM Song," "That Same Song" and "Back Home." As a matter of comparison several numbers including "Roller Skating Child" and "Johnny Carson" which is about that same mechanical clown that appears on the tube every night after the news surface on TBB's LY as positive gems. If a song called "Johnny Carson" sounds ridiculous to you as it did to me when it first came to my respond hitherto attention, differently! Hokey, yet the totally infectuous pattern makes it a constant source of cheerfulness. Look now. Then listen and be surprised. It could be the sleeper single the group is desperately in need of. — — He sits behind his microphone John ny Car-son He speaks in a‘manly tone John ny Car-son Ed McMahon comes on and says, Here's John ny i Every night at 11:30 he's so funny... was in written .yvhich collaboration one night in the home of the ex. Byrd previously tapped, is another shoe-jn. Very playful stuff. Another song of interest is "Good Time" with its tantilysing back beat. For the record this number was first introduced by Spring, a duo which consists of Marilyn Wilson and sfster Diane Rovell. The cut was first released in 1972 as the single off their UA LP. In a recent review of this album Ken Barnes deduces that the cut may also have been an unreleased outtake from the tremendous Sunflower disc. Marilyn Wilson resurfaces on "Let's Put Our Hearts Together," seemingly to relieve husband Brian on a vocal part that his own range could not match. It is on instance, this one although "Airplane" and "Solar System" could be assaulted in which .Brian's dominance over the group rertders more harm than good. The resultant configeratlon falters nervous unsatiating with an quality, embellished in Brian's newfound adult awareness. For the members of the audience that cannot contend with the disc's several neurotic twinges and rough edged vocals, "Let Us Go On This Way" will probably allieviate much of the burden. Co-written with Mike Love, the song reinforces the stance of the group harmonies and bouncing doagulation. It is this one rocker that stands out amidst a scope of primarily dead-beat — tempos. No kidding! "Ding Dang," The Beachboys Love You might have as much impact as a war fought with blow dart guns against tanks. In other words, this LP will probably be ignored. Certainly this will count as a strike (sin) for all of you that neglect it and later wish to enter rock and roll heaven. This might possibly be their strongest album since 1970 (SunfIpjyverJj, Certainly catchy ail those songs and Brian Wilson )9P C®, more continues to the advocate experiences of the young in their white surburban ethos. Not to compare, nevertheless its "Good Vibrations" all over again. Do ya' love the Beachboys? I hope so, God would have wanted it that way. COLLEGE B: THE CREATIVE RRTS AND CRRPTS - PORTER QURD.

Friday, 29 April 1977 Prodigal Sun �Guest Opinion During the past two years, many courses of study have been cutback or diminished. We-have seen broken and tour expectations let down in several departments. Judaic studies is no exception. I would now like to bring to your attention a number of facts relating to this University’s indifference to the program'and to Professor Michael Silverman. He has been denied tenure and there are plans to hire a person of lower academic status for a lower salary. I hope you will follow ,the events in hope of getting a clearer picture of the situation at hand. In September of 1975, George Levine the provost of Arts and Letters urged that Dr. Silverman apply for tenure right away without stating if he had any question in his mind whether or not he was fit for it. Shortly after this incident the Classics department took a vote on Silverman’s eligibility for tenure. This resulted in a split vote that was mostly negative due to the fear that Classics’ money was being used to fund Judaic Studies especially in regard to summer school and other areas. Chairman Peradotto has expressed his willingness to admit to these difficulties that many have influenced the vote of Classics.' An Ad Hoc Committee composed of people knowledgeable in Judaic studies was appointed by the administration. Originally established in the fall of 1974 and reconvened in the fall of 1975, it was to haye equal weight to the Classics’ vote. On Januaty 13, 1976, it voted unanimously to recommend tenure to Professor Silverman. Then a,further vote was taken by the Appointments, Promotion and tenure committee of the faculty of Arts and Letters in February 1976. It was deemed confidential but was later learned that it was a split vote. George Levine late in February 1976 recommended against tenure and then invited Dr. Silverman to plead his case before the acting Vice President of Arts and Letters, President Ketter eventually deci.ded that tenure is not in orde 1976-1977 is set as the last year for Silverman ending on 8-31-77. According to United University Professionals, a person who has one positive vote can ask for the reason for denial of tenure. If they have two positive votes, they are permitted f to have these reasons reviewed by a Chancellor’s special committee with the Chancellor making the filial decision about tenure. Silverman asked that this procedure be put into effect but the reply that he received was that since the original vote of Classics was negative he was not even entitled to the reason for the denial. Thus, the Ad Hoc committee’s vote is totally ignored. Please note that according to the original procedure, the vote of Classics and that of the Ad Hoc vote should be counted equally as constituting the first stage. In such a case this vote is positive by a two thirds majority. Silverman contends that the procedure has been tainted and should be given over to the Chancellor’s special committee. The last suggestion has -been already filed for a grievance. In preparing his case, Dr. Silverman inspected his personal file and found no mention of the Ad Hoc Committee at all and that other pertimeiit he asked the missing. Shortly afterwards, documents were administration for correspondence in regards to the Ad Hoc Committee but was refused. This would appear to indicate a cover-up. In the fall of 1976, George Levine, Provost of Arts and Letters set up a search committee that excluded many people knowledgeable in Judaic studies except Dr. Adler. Originally, the goal of this committee was to recruit an Assistant Professor who would be eligible for tenure after completion of a doctorate. On a sample application for this position, the Hebrew language requirement was left open and the salary offered was considerably lower than what Dr. Silverman now earns. To properly administer a program like JDS, a person with tenure is needed so that the person will have enough authority to develop the program but to my knowledge this is not their intention. In my opinion hiring a less qualified person at a lower salary constitutes a cutback of funds and resources. Recently, the question has been raised'as to whether the search committee had the proper authorization from the administration. It has been found that they only received authorization a month ago and that they had been operating independently for a time. As for denying Dr. Silverman tenure the administration unofficially has claimed that he is not qualified though this seems questionable judging by his credentials. They also refuse to admit that budgetary questions are involved even though there has never been a permanent line allocated to J.D.S. For example, this year’s (1976-77) line is a special loan from the President’s office which will automatically revert back to the President’s office. From inquiring about the search committee, 1 was told that they were looking for someone who Ctmld be flexible to work with other departments, hopefully with a degree in History, Sociology or English. Here are all the cross-listed courses being offered this semester by Silverman in connection with other departments. They are listed in History and the religious studies program plus Modern Jewish history is taught by guest lecturers from History, Germanic, Slavic and Historical philosophical foundations of Education. In addition, some courses are given by History, College F (Maxine Seller, the American Jewish Experience) and are co-sponsored by Judaic studies. As to Dr. Silverman’s credentials, he has a B.A. from Harvard, PHD. from Brandeis, a Fullbright Fellowship to Israel from 1965-67. Only two are chosen from the entire country. He taught at the University of Texas at Austin for five years before coming to Buffalo. Areas: Ancient Semitic languages, Aramaic, Jewish History from Ancient to Modern Times. Publications: Almost a dozen scholarly articles and detailed book reviews plus a long monograph scheduled for publication in Germany. He has lectured to many national and international scholarly groups including the American Oriental Society, the Society of Biblical Literature and the Sixth World Congress of Jewish Studies in Jerusalem (by invitation only). Dr. Silverman has received some grants to continue his research. Also this year he has been nominated by some students for the Chancellor’s award for teaching excellence.

We would like to express our displeasure with reception with Hsia Kung-chuan, the Kuomintang (KMT) Consul General from New York City on April 22, 1977. Your action has constituted an unfriendly attitude towards many concerned American and Chinese members of this University community, who strongly favor normalization of relations between the United States and the People’s Republic of China. It has also run counter to the good and respectful intent and spirit of the Shanghai Communique as well as aimed at the creation of two Chinas, and thus confused the international issues among the University community. Since after Truman’s era, unfortunately, US-China relations have been distorted as the US government mistakenly became hostile toward the majority of the Chinese people by maintaining military and diplomatic ties with the then ousted KMT regime on Taiwan. By doing so, the US government had in fact lost an easy sum of $5 billion to the KMT between 1946 and 1965. Yet, today, the KMT still receives Public Law 480 assistance and military aid from the US despite the high inflationary rate being currently experienced by the American people here in the States. This year, 1977, shall mark a fundamental change in the implementation of the Shanghai Communique. Undoubtedly, the basis of the your continued failure of the US government to proceed to disengage militarily and diplomatically from the KMT that has been inevitably bringing about the stalemate in the normalization process of relations between the United States and the People’s Republic of China shall be soon recognized and Ultimately overcome. The ‘visit’ of Hsia has come to none but to spy on extracurricular activities of our students here from Taiwan (see The Spectrum April 25. 1977). We shall continue to expose all such immoral activities engaged in attempts to provoke the academic freedom of this University in no time. We thus strongly condemn all forms of political surveillance on and intimidation of foreign students on this campus. Therefore, by associating with the KMT activities here and now, you have been obviously refusing to recognize the above fact, and, above all, the common and sincere desire of normalizing the US-China relations of both the American and Chinese people. We hope that similar incidents will not reoccur in the future.

The Corps of Engineers insists that it is asking for monies lawfully entitled. In the words of Corps Major General !.N. Norris, “The construction of the locks and dam at Alton is not a commitment to a 12-foot channel on the Upper Mississippi.” > Uncontrollable losses In August of 1974 tAe coalition of railroad and environmentalists brought suit in to stop Federal Court construction. Federal Judge Charles Richey issued the decision’ that the Corps could not begin building specifically until "During the past forty or fifty years those who are responsible for education in many of our schools have progressively removed from the curriculum of studies the Western Culture which produced the modern democratic state. i The men who wrote the American Constitution and the Bill of Rights were educated in schools and colleges in which the classic works of this culture were the substance of the curriculum and the transission of this culture was held to be the end and aim of education. Modern education, however, is often based on a denial that it is necessary or useful or desirable to transmit the religious and classical culture of the Western world. The prevailing education is destined, if it continues, to destroy civilization, and is in fact destroying it." ... -Walter Lippmann CLASSICS THE DEPARTMENT OF CLASSICS OFFERS COURSES IN THE LANGUAGES, LITERATURES, ART, ARCHAEOLOGY; HISTORY, PHILOSOPHY.

Up to date' the maintenance and improvements of water transportation has been a taxpayer’s expense. John Lambert stated in the 1975 Congressional session that barge operation required less energy than the railrbads and that waterways were safer than rail transportation. He also argued that it is the fault of the railroads for their profit decline if they were not sensitive to a change in industry needs. A disservice Melvin Price of the Illinois House of Representatives said in the 1976 session that “it is a disservice to the people of this country by stifling expansion of industrial capacity primarily out of narrow concern for the well being of a competing economic interest.” He added that user fees shouldn’t be charged to barge operators. “It would come out of the pockets of every businessman and consumer in this country In the Congressional Record of June 1976 the barge industry was blamed for being inefficient in its towing method, ft was stated that the locks were only used 33 percent of the time. 66 percent of the time went unused during the approach, entry aud exits of barges from the chamber.

The Congressional Budget Office recently established that increased barge traffic as a result of dam expansion would cost the railroad industry $400 million annually. The state of Wisconsin fears the environmental hazard and has sued the Corps over the damage the dams have done to the Mississippi’s waters.

Page seventeen �Clark Hall combats CLASSIFIED new scheduling woes AO INFORMATION MAY ADS p.m. Due to the increasing enrollment at the University and inadequate fjunds for a new athletic facility, many students are having trouble registering for physical education courses. This problem is compounded for senibrs who have,waited un'til their last semesters to fulfill this two-credit requirement. As of now, there are only eleven faculty members teaching approximately thirty courses. Clark Gym and the Bubble aren’t large enough to conduct more or larger classes. Thus, the Department of Recreation, Athletics and Related Instruction (RA1) has decided to conduct its own separate registration. Students will not be able to pre-register for gym courses this fall., Instead, students will have to go to Clark Hall (September 7-16) where the instructors will have sign-up sheets for the various courses. Other options Some space in all classes will be reserved for seniors. Although some of the more popular courses (i.e., bowling, tennis) may fill up quickly, there should be room for any senior wishing to fulfill this requirement. This method of registration has been used in the past and was found effective. There is one last option for seniors. If they have attempted to enroll in gym classes in previous semesters and cannot fit any of the available courses in their schedules next year, they may contact their Academic Advisors and request an application to waive the gym requirement. The Committee for Degree Requirements will review each application individually, and though exactly how the decision will be reached is not known, some seniors may have their requirement waived.

President A proposal, submitted by Group Legal Services (GLS), would use mandatory fees to provide students at SUNY at Buffalo with legal advice and representation at no charge. will be in demand during the summer sessions. McGill said until he is told where the classes are, what time in the evening the classes are over, and what the enrollment for summer session classes will be, he cannot make a definite scheduling commitment. According to class schedule already published for the three sessions this summer, the buses will not run past five o’clock. “Normally 5 o’clock would be the last run out of Ridge Lea, but we were not aware that classes out there end at 9:20. Well, of course we are going to do our best to meet that demand,” McGill said. The Summer Orientation program will be run at the Amherst Campus. Although those students will not be enrolling in classes, they may have need to view the other campuses. The Blue Bird Bus Company will operate under a new contract beginning in the fall. The contract allocates less money than the present contract. McGill said he will be looking “elsewhere in the University for money to supplement what they will get.” Less money Because the buses will be operat,ipg with less money, it is possible there will be Jess efficient service, McGill explained. At a time when we should be reducing service to make up for the difference in money allocated, it looks as though the.demand will be greatly increased.” We’re really going to meet the demands,” he said. At present he is working on a tentative schedule that will be made public soon. According to another administration spokesman the schedule will depend upon the amount of students that will register for summer classes. One of the main difficulties is that there is no way to find out the exact amount of students living in the area surrounding the Main Street Campus. Students who live off the Main Street campus afe in a predicament: they do not know whether to register for night classes. Those who are graduating and need to take classes on Ridge Lea or Amherst need transportation to be able to complete their . requirements. Nobody catches the ball Both Lorenzetti and Bradford said a meeting and decision on the matter are expected soon. Meanwhile, Brownstein and Lippes are hoping to confer with Ketter this week. Should the proposal be turned down, students will continue' to be compelled to go outside the University for legal representation fees. Those rules allow fee monies to be used for programs of educational, social and cultural enrichment and for student services to supplement or add to those provided by the University. Whether or not the proposal adheres to the guidelines has been the question. > proposal. , After arguments, Belli Levine receiving a copy of the memo, and University counsel Hillory Bradford would not comment, saying only that he had “received a communication from Albany regarding this matter.” ■The proposal has run into problems with the SUNY wide guidelines for use of mandatory Associate Vice President Lorrenzetti originally refused to approve the proposal pending clarification of its legality from SUNY counsel Walter Rellihan.

The —Vazquez Robert Ketter counsel Hillory Bradford stating that the decision would be left up to Ketter. Brownstein feels the memo'will be of a positive nature in that it will suggest that the proposal could stand a court test, should Ketter'decide to accept it, Lorenzetti did not acknowledge decision that the University Administration once claimed belonged to Albany, now is back in its hands. “They are tossing the ball around,” said Brownstein, “hoping no one will catch it.” Should Ketter reject the proposal, both Brownstein and Lippes expect to take the issue to State Supreme Court. “At this point we have waited so long,” Lippes said, “that if Ketter turns us down we’ll be going to court.” Lippes and Brownstein arc firm in their belief that the proposal is both of vital necessity and well the fee mandatory within guidelines. The SpECTI\U(V1 Vol. 27, No. 78 Wednesday, 27 April 1977 State University of New York at Buffalo Commentary Med Dean wrongfully attacked on merger study by Tom Batt Contributing editor When Dr. John Naughton, Dean of the Medical School at this University, agreed to coordinate a study of the possible merger of four Buffalo hospitals, he was hardly expecting to be cast as a culprit. That, unfortunately, is what seems to have happened to him and to much of the medical administration Were. It all began last January, when the hospitals — Deaconees, Meyer Memorial, Buffalo General and approached Naughton with the task of “developing a proposal f6r the coordinated use Childrens — and governance of their facilities and programs for the future delivery of health services to our community.” He accepted, and is now engaged in the work along with two task forces which he has assigned. Because of financial problems, the four hospitals are entertaining the notion of consolidation in the new $ 120 million Erie County Health Care Center on Grider Street. Boards must approve officials are Hospital wondering wfiether a merger could erase their red ink and improve medical care at the same time. They feel this might be accomplished through the elimination of unused beds and a curtailment of the four-fold duplications of services which Assemblyman Stephen R. Greco now take place. “It became obvious to us,” said Bruce J. Baust, administrator of Deaconess, “that funds to support construction had pretty much dried up.” “We felt that together we might be able to accomplish more than we could as individuals in terms of new facilities and operating efficiencies.” Though the task forces have been working On the problem steadily. Dean Naughton and others stress that no decisions made. A final have been recommendation is due July 1. Concerned parties have also been reminded that any proposal for consolidation will have to be approved by the governing boards of the four hospitals, the Western Systems New York Health Agency, and State officials in (D., Buffalo’) was quoted heavily in a front page Courier article entitled “Greco Raps Proposal for Children’s UB Bluntly Told - Merger Could Destroy Hospital.” Two facts must be recognized here: no “proposal” had yet or been announced, and has yet Assemblyman Greco has neither ithe information nor the expertise to say that Children’s or any other hospital could be destroyed if a merger did indeed take place. The fact is, no one knows the answer to that question yet. This is why a study was undertaken in the first — — _ place. Albany. Certain groups in the Buffalo area, however, seem intent on idea that propagating the decisions have been made and that of a conspiratorial they are nature. John Naughton — The Buffalo Courier Express, second largest daily in the area, has apparently appointed itself representative informal of anti-merger forces here. For the past month the paper has been at the front of. a campaign to torpedo any movement toward especially of Childrens merger Hospital., The Courier seems a convinced that Children’s institution world-renowned — — In that same article. Greco the wielded term “conspiracy” in referring to the way in which Naughton and other University officials are involved in the merger talks. “I will not,” said Greco, ‘‘takekindly to anything smacking of conspiracy by educational bureaucrats to snip off, as it were, one form of state and federal aid after another to (Children’s) it into hospital, driving bankruptcy and then claiming to rescue the place by smothering it at the county hospital.” Greco also seemed to threaten the administration here with a possible slow-down in legislative efforts to secure funding for the Amherst Campus: “We are doing what we can, but we are not encouraged in our pursuits in UB’s behalf by what loosely specializing in pediatric and will be obstetric medicine readily dismantled if merger takes — place. ‘Simply not so’ simply so,” “That’s not answers Dean Naughton. “Until we know for sure what the merger plan actually proposes? no one pan know what will happen with Children’s. Our goal is to maintain the optimum in pediatric care.” Through the Courier, several local legislators have unleashed abusive verbal assaults on the medical school here, attempting, some officials think, to gain political mileage by crusading facts and by browbeating imagined adversaries. early April, State In with distorted —continued on page 14— �Interview with John Naughton Merger would aid hospitals well as the entire City of Buffalo. will be the loss of services.

Wednesday, 2.7 April 1977 �Division of Budget University Libraries fail to receive additional funds Despite President Robert Ketter’s best efforts, the State Division of the Budget has not come up with additional money for the University Libraries, according to Acting Director Saktidas Roy. The 1975-76 fiscal year saw the Libraries’ budget cut by $300,000. The University Libraries received the same budget for the 1976-77 fiscal year, with an 11 percent inflationary increase, and are expected to receive the same in 1977-78, according to the Governor’s Budget Proposal. To compound the problem: The Division of the Budget has mandated a cut of 12 Full Time Equivalents (FTEs) for the first time this - year. ' The Undergraduate (UGL), Science and Engineering, and Lockwood Libraries must move to neW buildings at Amherst by the 1977-78 academic year. The University has to give up the Bell Storage Facility and Ridge Lea Library by — There may not be enough library persoryiel for all the buildings, and. some of the smaller units, Jike the UGL and the Science and Engineering Library will have to reduce hours. The Lockwood Inter-Library Loan Requests may not be met. The Music Library will have to lose its cataloguing services. The Art, Edison, Architecture and Environmental Design, and Chemistry Libraries might be absorbed into other units, according to Roy. In addition there will be no libraries at the Ellicott Complex. In response to the cuts, Roy has decided “all units will be affected equally.” On a national scale, our acquisition budget is far below normal. For the last few years, 20 percent of library staff positions have remained vacant. Of the five highest library (Director, positions administrative Associate Director, and' three Assistant Directors) only one is filled. These major library staff positions will remain vacant until a permanent Director can fill them. — June. This effects situation may have deleterious the University community. on The search is on The search for a new Director of the University Libraries is almost completed, and a search committee recommendation has been presented to etter. i6 search committee was chaired by University Archivist Shonnie Finnegan who replaced Dean of the School of Information and Library Studies George Bobinski, now on leave,. “Being an Acting Director has its limitations,” explained Roy, “and the search for a new Director should be completed as quickly as possible, but it should not be rushed, especially at this time.” The Libraries have received strong support from students, faculty, the . President’s office, and from Vice President of Academic Affairs Ronald F. Bunn according to Roy. “However,” he states, “this University has only so much leeway in its budget.” Roy does not want to give up any of the present library services offered, and wants to “sit down with faculty and students In order to decide on what cuts to make for the least disruption of service.” He said, “The most critical thing is that students should be informed that this time everyone will have to give up something.” Delia: referendum is clearly illegal Applications being accepted through April 29th, 5 pm for salaried position of van coordinator.

The Student Seante. besides supporting the referendum challenge, last week also approved a motion asking that the SWJ report its decision by tomorrow, ft appeared Monday, though, that SWJ may not act before the end of the week. Delia claimed the referendum inherently violated the SA Constitution by putting forth a vote on “financial allocations to student organizations.” He also said it clearly violated student activity not providing a way for elected student fee guidelines by representatives to distribute the funds. —contnued on page 7 — The Spectrum is published Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the academic year and on Friday only tty The during the summer Spectrum Sludent Periodical, Inc.

Page three �Students demand new policies Strike shuts Old Westbury Other strike demands include: general amnesty for all participants and supporters in the strike; formation of a College Senate (including students, faculty and administrators), to constitute the school’s “highest body in all negotiated matters concerning the mission”; assurances of the development of proper supportive services in accordance with housing, educational support (remedial programs for students who need them), financial support, day-care and infant-care facilities, and health services. Acting SUNY Chancellor James Kelly, speaking before a conference of SUNY student media representatives in Albany Friday, admitted that “there is some question” as to whether SUNY is fully supporting the mission it assigned Old that Westbury, and ‘misunderstandings' have contributed to the student-administration confrontation there. Kelly did remark, however, that the school, “since it is a college on Long Island." may be shifting the emphasis of some of its programs to appeal to transfer students from other.SUNY institutions with higher admissions standards, but emphasis on the that the school’s "greater traditionally bypassed student” will continue. Although meeting with SUNY officials over the campus situation was another of the strikers’ demands, Kelly stated that Central Administration is intervening at the request of Acting University President Todd. When asked to comment on the strikers’ demand for a College Senate composed of students, faculty and administrators. Kelly, simply replied that an “improved governance structure" at the institution might be in order. Me added that he agreed to send representatives to the situation because it had developed into "matters beyond local control." Old Westbury began offering the opportunity for a college education “to the traditionally bypassed student” in 1070-71, and was considered to be 'J direct outgrowth of the educational innovativeness characteristic of SUNV in the late sixties and early seventies. The strikers, according to a s'pokesperson from the College of Old Westbury Student Coalition, are making an intensive effort to "remind the students of their history of struggle.” "What we have here at Old Westbury didn’t just happen, it was fought for; And no*w we have to fight to save it." she said. by Laura Bartlett Managing Editor —* — population appears to be participating. Although many demands and grievances have been presented to Old Westbury officials, the rallying point for many of the strikers is the firing of two faculty members exemplary of the school’s original mission in the SUNY system, which was to provide “traditionally bypassed” members of society the opportunity for a college education. Fired faculty Betty Barney, the only faculty member of the Afro-American Dance Department (and its founder) and Sam Anderson, originator of Old Westbury’s innovative Science and Technology Department, have both been denied reappointment after their current contracts expire at the end of this academic year. Barney’s tenure consideration was scheduled to take place next year, and Anderson’s employment has been determined by the university on a year-to-year basis for the past three years. Both are black, outspoken critics of the administration, and were part of Old Westbury’s original faculty. The strikers also charge in leaflets distributed throughout the campus that Old Westbury’s administration has quietly undertaken a campaign to change the school’s orientation from appealing to female, minority, working class and old students to a more, selective admissions policy. The administration attempted earlier this year to institute an “entrance examination” to incoming students, upon which their final acceptance could depend. Such a requirement, had it been implemented, would have effectively done away with Old Westbury’s “open admissions” policy, one of the few in SUNY. It was. however, strenuously opposed by the campus's Faculty-Student Committee on Admissions policies FALL 1977“= —= — BUILD A BETTER DEGREE WITH NEW PROGRAMS AND COURSE SEQUENCES Several GEOGRAPHY courses have been re-numbered for the Fall 1977 to assist in structuring your program design.

The strike has effectively shut down operation of the school, and no regularly scheduled day classes were held last week.

Students, faculty members, and administrators from all over the country were consulted in the various planning stages of the change in the exam Educational Testing Service (ETS). which administers the exam for the GRl Board, explains that Ihe additional measure will enable students to demonstrate a wider array of academic talents, when they apply for admission to graduate schools. Three types of questions J;mis Somerville. GRt program director at ETS, said, “The new measure will test a student’s skills in a number of areas. Students will be able to show their ability to recognize logical relationships, draw conclusions from a complex series of statements, and determine relationships between independent or interdependent categories of groups.” She explained that, like the traditional measures of the GRH. the new test will use various kinds of questions. “Three types will be used in the analytical section: analysis of explanations, logical diagrams, and analytical reasoning questions, each designed to lest a different aspect of analytical ability.” she said. Somerville also explained that 410 formal training in logic or metlnWs of analysis is required to do well on the new measure. “Some analytical skills are required and developed in virtually all fields of study.” she explained. “And, like verbal and quantitative skills, analytical skills are developed over a long period of time and are not believed to be improved to any significant degree by intensive study in a brief period of time.” Still three hours Somerville also noted that the 1077-78 GRE Bulletin of Information will describe the new treasure and will include sample questions and explanations of the answers. The Bulletin is sent free to all students registering for the GRE. In addition, a Sample Aptitude Test containing the same number and types of questions as the actual exam can be ordered at one dollar per copy. Both publications will be available on August I. Despite the new addition, the GRE will remain a three-hour test since the verbal and quantitative portions have been shortened and the time saved allocated to the new measure. "The same research effort that produced the new measure also yielded shorter versions of the verbal and quantitative sections that are comparable in reliability and usefulness to the earlier and longer sections.” explained Somerville. The GRE is taken each year by about 300,000 college students as part of the admissions process to graduate school. The exam is offered six times a year, while advanced tests in 20 subjects are offered live times a year throughout the nation.

The Spectrum . Wednesday, 27 April 1977 1375 Millersport Hwy. Amherst - �) Three disarmament forums by Jay Rosen Spectrum Staff Writer The issue of world disarmament will be brought into national focus tomorrow at "The Buffalo Forum on Disarmament.” in the Fillmore Room. The first keynote speaker will be Grigory Berdennikov, a member of the Soviet Union's Permanent Mission to the United Nations. The Forum will run bn three consecutive Thursdays through May 12. Professor Associate of Philosophy James Lawler organized the event, which he says is unprecedented in its scope and content. Two other authorities on disarmament will highlight the last two sessions. They are Fehmi Allem of Lebanon, a member of the U.N. Center for Disarmament, and Dr. Byron Doenges from the United States Arms Control and Disarmament Agency (a panel of experts that participates in the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks [SALT] with the Soviet Union). Santos James Lawler the discussion. He feels that Americans have resigned themselves to accepting the arms race “People believe the issue is a hopeless one,” he commented. “My opinion is that there have been important limitations on arms, such as the agreement on biological warfare." Lawler said public opinion, both here and in the Soviet Union, plays a large role in the -paths the two nations lake in negotiations. "Both countries are very much concerned with their image in the community." Lawler world stated. Americans accept race Panelists from the scientific, religious and university circles will question the . authorities and discussion will be open to the floor. The aim of the Forum, according to Lawler, is to place the issue of disarmament m terms the public can understand, and disspell myths about the SALT talks and the issue in general. Lawler also hopes “clear concrete proposals -that people can comprehend" will come out of , Media fosters hopelessness Lawler was optimistic about • Faculty We urge all - The Royal Shakespeare Company is proudly giving one performance, that’s one performance only, of Sherlock Holmes , written by Arthur Conan Doyle and William Gillette and directed here by Tony Tanner. On Sunday, May 1, at 8:30 p.m., Sherlock Holmes will be presented at the Century Theater on Main Street. The play, a typical Holmes thriller, pits the sleuth against his arch-enemy Professor Moriarity and tl\e plot is a combination of two of Doyles’s most famous stories; A Scandal in Bohemia and The Final Problem. For those who want more than mere fun and suspense, Sherlock Holmes offers an intellectual debate between Holmes and Moriarty men who are twinlike in their emotional sterility and rationalist obsession. Neither would stoop to common violence and they share a devotion to refinement of craft they could practice whether they were woodcarvers or ditchdiggers. ATTENTION Staff and , Monday and Tuesday SHAVUOT the chances of the two nations reaching an agreement. "1 am hoping the atom can be used lor peace.” he said. Lawler repeatedly stressed the need for the'public to be aware of possible solutions that are both fair and realistic. In this regard he felt the media has helped to foster a feeling of hopelessness by covering the issue in a negative and confusing vernacular. This week's forum is an attempt to reverse the trend, and clear both sides of the issue. Lawler advocated public education of disarmament issues starting as early as junior high school. He did admit though that Americans are less fearful of the USSR today. "People arc less convinced that the Soviet Union is a threat to our society," he related, "but it’s not a question of simply trusting the USSR.” Honest, realistic proposals are what is needed, he felt. National security, frequently cit'bd as reason to continue the arms race, will “be even more threatened if the arms race continues." Lawler stated. He felt the American economy could easily make the switch from producing war goods to peace a goods without incurring significant loss of jobs. Such a conversion will never be necessary unless Americans address themselves directly to the problem and make their concerns known, Lawler said. The Buffalo Forum on Disarmament is his ambitious attempt at reaching that goal. — • Jewish Students May 23 and 24 is one of the Holiest Days of the Jewish Religion.

Wednesday, 27 April 1977 �Natural narrative Julian Bond of Georgia by Michael Hopkins Spectrum Staff Writer Once more Squire/Hall’s Fillmore Room was filled to capacity for tjie natural narrative lecturing of Georgia legislator Julian Bond, and once more the night was brighter for his presence. A fighter, a poet, a radical if you will, in a land where change, the bad rock of this land, has become stoned in more ways than ther are days, these years. Bond, who was intially denied his seat in the Georgia House of Representatives due to his anti-war position, enlisted the audience’s attention for the greatest battle of all, attentiveness the first step for ultimate victory. It is what high-school and college graduation urge upon their charges. It is called commitment. Julian Bond, from i Time to Speak, A Time to Act speakers Introduction finely done by sponsor. Minority Student Affairs, is a wave that Bond skillfully wove throughout the audience that night, his delivery a strong blend of sober wit, anything but dry, though. An occasionally playful grip does not crack'his face, rather, it accentuates the broad range of his topic-: us. Out on an, uni Laughing at oneself is his start, speaking of the affinity of “Whether the occasion is a teacher in •a college classroom, or a minister at the pulpit on Sunday' morning, or um a politican out on the, uh. out on the (laughter. Bond purposely caught), out on the stump soliciting votes, there’s a custom for the speaker to preface his or her remarks - with a series of hilarious anecdotes. The 'purpose of these anecdotes are to put you in a good frame of mind, to convince you that the speaker is a good person, that he’s got a sense of humor just like everybody else (smiles), and also it makes his speech appear to be longer than it really is. Here’s a hilarious anecdote (laughter).” As he comments on his recent hosting of NBC’s Saturday Night Live “It’s very serious to be funny.” While one may laugh at the irony implied here, the irony implicit in the nation’s air is no joke. “This is an opportune time for discussing history. Last year, in 1976, we celebrated two historical events of some significance. The first of them was the Fourth of July which celebrated the end of the first 200 years of the , American experiment with democracy,” while, as he just- for, the day. Now the Cabinet is hardly more racially or sexually intigrated than the one it replaced, but at Jeast appears albe to 1 belong to just as many private clubs.” Expressing disappointment that the Government adequately reflect the electorate vote that tipped the balance for the Democrats, as it had in I960, he went on: “Ten years ago, the noted sociologist, Dr. Kenneth Clark, described the ghet,to where most black people live, then and now, in the following way: ‘The ghetto is a social, political, educational, and above all, economic colony. Its inhabitants, he said, are a subject people, victims of the greed, cruelty, guilty, insensitivity, and fear of their masters.’ That description is still sadly true today. Today’s tragedy is not just that things remain does not pretty much the same, but that the removal of the more blatant forms of American Apartheid I discrimination through forced segregation] have made it too easy for too many to believe them to have been radically altered for the better. Nothing could be further from the truth. We are still last hired, first tired. We are still last in, first out. We are still poor all’out of proportion to our numbers, powerless despite our ability to elect Presidents, ignorant in spite ot integrated schools, and hungry in spite of integrated lunch counters.” Heaven help us Making it clear that he was not a knight on a charger that could magically slay the demons of this country’s or this world’s'problems, he emphasized, whether in question to the interest of American black people as a whole. In the struggle in Africa, or upon responding tp an'urgent appeal to come into a local community and solve the problems concerning a center there, that “most of us are . unfortunately, worried about what to will happen us tomorrow . . .” our worry not a misfortune, but the problem itself, and our overall lack of power or inability to deal with it. “and I'm very afraid that until we are able to fee! more secure ourselves, our survival will be our only concern, to the exclusion of almost every other land.” Illustrating the fine line we all tred between involvement and apathy today, Bond summarized the evening’s point in an anecdote told often by Southern Baptist ministers. It concerns an elderly black man who stopped going to church for more than 20 years, who. while hunting one fine Sunday morning, tripped over a stump, looked up and found himself staring into the eyes and rather large teeth of a huge, black grizzly bear, happy at stumbling upon noted, “It is, therefore, entirely reasonable now, for these v/aters to except their loyalty to be repaid, not such a quick meal. Well, the man tried to run, hut of course the just by putting their faces in high places, but by developing concrete plans to eliminate more than bear was faster, and as he could feel the hot breath 200 years of imposed pathology from their lives.” down his neck, he decideithat perhaps now was the Deal with the cause,-and cure, or else sickness will time for some diplomacy: prayer. Naturally the force itself upon you, a petitition, no history at all. powers that be were just a little disturbed that the first prayer this man offered in over two decades Oddly familiar would not be for salvation for the entire world frpm “They [the American public] ware tired, they the mass misery, but conveniently timed to save his seemed to say, of callousness within the Capitol, of own neck. Well, after being flatly rejected, the man carelessness with people’s minds. They wanted a tried running again, but to no avail, and, as the shirt government, they seemed to say, that could be as was torn off his back, and as the bear was tastily good as they thought they were, and elected as licking his ear, he gathered his last ounce of strength, President a candidate who said he wanted the best” lifted his head back and cried “Lord, if you don’t Remembering that 16 years ago, another Democratic help me, PLFASE don’t help that bear.” 'Julian Bond. Illustrating that even a grizzly administration entered office to seek a New Frontier as well, he remarked, “This year’s new faces in situation like this world has its fine moments Washington’s high places seem oddly reminiscent in fighting to be free. It’s for all of us, in the long run, those of 1961, almost as if they had been born again. to do more than groom ourselves for the struggle. Full Tuition “SUSTA” Support will NOT be given in the Spring 1977 Semester UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS Undergraduates who receive a maximum Tuition Assistance Award (TAP) (net taxable income of $2000 or less) and are eligible for a State University Scholarship Tuition Assistance Award (SUSTA) will not have their entire tuition covered in the Spring 1977 semester. The funds allocated for SUSTA by the Legislature will only allow a fifty-five dollar ($55.00) assistance per student in Spring 1977. CHECKSTOP INFORMATION FOR ALL STUDENTS Referendum " ' ***** . Delia feels the University Administration Would not collect the fee unless proper guidelines were set. He said it was SA’s responsibility to see that the funds are legally.distributed. The only terms used in the SUNY Trustees activity fee guidelines to describe the student body reponsible for distributing the fee is “the representative student organization.” No menyon is made requiring that the organization be an elected one. Legal agent dissolved Delia agreed that the referendum does not specifically discuss financial matters, but claimed by dissovling SA. and therefore the “legal disbursing agent, it was inherently deciding student financial matters.” Lev has accused Delia of “blatantly violating the Constitution,” and argued that he had submitted the necessary number of signatures a week before spring vacation. He said that the tentative May 3 voting date was clearly beyond the three week deadline within which a legal referendum must be held, according to the Constitution. Based on these charges, Lev has begun to circulate petitions tor the removal of Dennis Delia as President. Delia said that he has not violated the SA Constitution by seeking the injunction, and felt that he had acted within the spirit of the law. “I am concerned over the implications of whether someone walks off with 800 thousand dollars.” he said. He claimed that he was taking a position not only on the legality of the referendum, but on tire content and overall implications for the University.Much of the controversy surrounding the issue is over whether there really is an approved government-in-action course that will be offered by the University, and will handle the functions of student government. LevinSon told The Spectrum Monday that the curriculum committee of Tolstoy College had approved an experimental seminar through January of 1U78. but that Colleges Dean Irving Spitzberg had overruled the committee and had only given approval for the course through the summer. While the course would be reviewed in the fall for continuation. Lev says that Spitzberg’s decision would be appealed. Delia also claimed that he was told by Acting Undergraduate Dean Walter kunz that an experimental ’course had been approved but only through the summer. “It is questions like these that I have, asked the Student Wide Judiciary to decide,” Delia said.

The Spectrum Page seven . �� Editorial x x The summer place We were more than a little shocked when we opened the 11 summer session class listing and found that there were no intercampus buses scheduled to run pqst 5 p.m. New bus scheduling director Roger McGill's explanation, that University planners were not aware that evening classes at Ridge Lea end at 9:20 p.m., is refreshingly candid. But we will rest easier when we see a revised version of the bus schedule with service up until that hour, at least. Likewise, we can appreciate McGill's opennes in admitting that a decrease in the bus service budget may lead to less efficient service. But, again, we would rather not let it go at that: too many members of the University community are dependent on intercampus bus service. This dependence includes traveling from one class to the next with a minimum of efficiency. Bus service between campuses is only spotty now. Further deterioration entails more disruptions in people's everyday lives, and impairs their ability to reach classes on time. If only indirectly, this threatens some students' academic livelihood, to say nothing of their emotional stability. It is also necessary to point out that suspending nighttime service during the summer will severely curtail the social lives of dormitory-bound students without automobiles. This will only make the University a less attractive place for summer study, and runs counter to efforts to promote summer enrollment. We welcome Roger McGill's honesty about the dismal prospects for intercampus bus service. We hope, though, he recognizes the importance of representing the students' interest in forestalling further cutbacks. Libraries in trouble The worst casualty by far of recent budget cuts here is the University Libraries. They are in deep trouble, and it's time to sound the alarm. Beset with an acquisition budget far below acceptable standards, and with 20 percent of the staff positions vacant the past few years, the libraries are currently without a permanent director, and therefore lack coherent leadership. When a new libraries director is chosen, he or she will immediately face another absurd cut of 12 staff lines by the Division of the Budget, and the monstrous logistical and administrative task of beginning the belated transition to the Amherst Campus. With these seemingly insurmountable odds, the prospects look poor, for the University Libraries ever becoming what they are supposed to be: a major research facility.

Wednesday, 27 April 1977 wmimxxsK. bullpen by David Rubin Special Features Editor Have you seen the new product on the market these days? it’s called the Acme Wonder Widget, and it’s the last word in widgets. The Wonder Widget cuts,-chops, slices and dices. It goes from 0 to 60 in four seconds flat. It relieves the sinus pressure and coughs due to colds within eight seconds; but gives months of relief with just a single use. The Widget is safe enough to use every day, but each one should last you up to seven years, and you can eat it with a fork, a spoon, or even with your fingers. The Widgets are disposable, bio-degradable, recyclable, and contains no cyclamates, saccharine, red dye number 2, aerosol fumes or artificial preservatives like BHA and BHT. What's more, the Wonder Widget has the child-proof dispensers which prevent children from doing nasty things with them. The Widgets come in assorted sizes and colors. The standard exterior paints come in black, blue, green, red, white, chartreuse and magenta. Orders can also be accepted for maroon, azure, lavender, maize and silver. If there is color you want that Acme doesn’t stock. Acme will try to create it specially by mixing their stock colors. The Wonder Wiget also comes in ten sizes: Personal, Economy, Family, Large, Extra Large, Extra Extra Large. Huge, Gigantic, Monstrous and Colossal. Acme doesn’t neglect the interior of your widget either. They will mix and match any of their exterior and interior colors to your specifications. They offer only seven materials, though, for inside upholstery: Burlap, Satin, Steel, Cashmire, Calf's Hair, Silk and for the eccentrics in the crowd, _ purchased with your Wonder Widget or anytime after. These range from quadrophonic earphones which plug directly into your eardrum all the way to monogrammed helmets (which for a limited time will be monogrammed at half price)., Yet despite all these incredible features and options, the Wonder Widget costs less than every other widget on the market. In fact, the Wonder Widget does what theirs does for less than half the price. But Acme realizes that even though its product is the best and cheapest on the market, many Americans still cannot afford to pay the entire purchase price at once. As a result, financing plans are available. You can take up 35 years to pay with no down payment and and an interest rate that’s actually less than the prime rate. As for warranties, Acme will replace any faulty part at no charge. In fact, if anything goes wrong, Acme will send a technician over within the hour, and if he can’t fix your widget in 45 minutes, Acme will give you a new Wonder Widget free or your money back with interest. How can Acme make such claims and earn record profits at the same time? Easy, they don’t advertise. That’s right. While the big five widget manufacturers spend millions blanketing American media with arguments that their widget is the most wonderful. Acme has taken these millions and put them into service, research and development and has come out with,a product so superior that it defies belief. Yes, using the antiquated technique of interpersonal communication, also known as word of mouth, the name of Acme Wonder Widget has spread across America. The wealthy admire the Wonder Widget’s luxury, while the less affluent laud its price. cotton. In fact, the widget has received acclaim from All equipment is standard on an Acme Wonder virtually all groups of Americans except one. Widget.

When one is afraid however, one can react in either negative manner; -Mr. Shapiro has negative I I, April 25) is the prevelance his fear is not of something, a positive or chosen to he This fear and mixed reactions to it are nothing new. In nineteenth-century ITirope many Jews feared anti-Semitism, with good reason. Many reacted by trying to assimilate into Furopean society and prefepding that Jewish history was a past to he rejected. Their children were lulled by Hitler. Others, however, decided to reject that which rejected them. These were the first Zionists. The Zionists felt that 5000 years of Jewish history, culture and religion comprised a civilization worth propagating. Jews were persecuted for believing in their own. cultural integrity; they built a nation which affirmed that culture. It sounds absurd to speak of Hitler in America. Minority cultures are being accorded new respect. No one objects to the new black hero, Kunta Kinte, who would not allow his children to forget their proud origins. Polish-Atnericans celebrate Paderewski Day, undistrubed. St. Patrick’s Day has become almost a national holdiay. If Mr. Shaprio does not tear anti-Semitism, he shouldn’t object to the celebration of a proud heritage. If he is afriad, he shouldn’t follow the tried and failed path of assimilation, of pretending that his only history begins in 1776. If all other minorities are free to assert their heritage, why not the Jews? Mr. Shapiro feels that Chug Israel is a group which exists for political agitation. It does not. It is geared toward educating all those who share a common interest in this cultural heritage. Because it lias been proven to the Jewish people that the world will not allow us total cultural freedom without political autonomy, we are naturally concerned about the maintenance of our own autonomy. If all other groups are permitted to educate their members and assert their rights, why does Mr. Shapiro object to the Jews acting in this manner? He speaks of a “ghetto mentality.” The most glaring feature of the European Jewish ghetto was tear caused by anti-Semitism. It is Mr. Shapiro who sutlers from a ghetto mentality; he is afriad. He will not assert his heritage for fear of negative reactions.

Immediate response to Lev's accusations appeared in Monday’s The Spectrum using sensationalism to try and scare the student population out of a referendum that they know is justified, that they know would bring a little more integrity to student politics (re: Lalonde’sChristmas gifts) rather than just having it look like the bureaucracy we have to deal with in Albany and Washington, that they know they would lose; who wants' course credit when he can make good money by just campaigning for a few days standing in (he union giving out coupons lor free drinks? I don’t know how far Lev is going as to the request of his setting up the new government, but the basic idea is right, and it is necessary. Ihese babies write about their integrity, and how they refuse to stand for this from Lev, who they called all sorts of names. They weren't defending themselves, they were trying to take the offensive by lowering Lev in the students’ eve. so that they wouldn’t take his proposal seriously. Put right on the line. I don’t like the fact that the SA president gets S2000 for a Can any stipend (that’s not a stipend, that’s a salary), or that the people urider hint get a nice round sum, too. I don’t think he doe» anything to deserve it, or if he does it certainly doesn’t show itself to the little people.” Jeff Lessoff. in his closing remark, said that Lev was a radical left over from the sixties (radical, sir? Define that. O knowledgable one'), as if to imply that he was a man of the times and Lev is not. That may well he true, but it doesn’t take away from the’fact that he cares more about the quality of student government than you do. it seems. Would you be in the student government if it was for course credit? Apparently as the evidence in your defensiveness shows, you would probably have to give it a lot of thought. Was there something wrong with the sixties idea of trying to change things? I know, I know-no, not if it doesn’t affect you personally or your goals. As long as you can keep apathy in the forefront, you’ve got nothing to.worry about, right? Right. Maybe some people, like Lev, want to-change the if it doesn’t deliver what it promises., You defendants better quit while you’re ahead, and have the referendum to save face. Who’knows, maybe someone outside student government will actually system vote no, I doubt it. Joct Dinehtein To the h'ditor.

For the last the union, students in harassing he has been months and annoying them to the point of not letting them eat lunch until they signed his petition calling for the abolishment of SA.

And what would happen to the stipend money. It would be used to the teachers that will teach these pay cpurses. And who would teach these courses? He says he would. As they should the SA officers are questioning the validity of this petition, and are attempting to send it td .the STiide.nt Wide Judiciary. Now, not content to lei the Student Wide Judiciary decide on the matter, he has authored two new petitions to recall two of our newly elected student leaders, .Dennis Delia, president and Jeff Lessotl.

Let me give you a little background oil Mr ■evinson To the Editor I consider it an insult that you have such little students’ abilities to in your fellow comprehend the written word and to withstand intimidation. It seems to me that the SA is afraid to bring the proposal forward. Has SA become so entrenched with power, it now violates the spirit of its own faith In response to Student Association President Dennis Delia and former SA President' Steve Schwartz, I would like to inform them of a few facts. First of all. as a signer of Michael Levinson’s petition 1 was well aware of what I was signing and its implications. 1 felt then and still do. that it is an innovative idea which should be attempted or at the least, should receive direct, thoughtful very consideration by the whole student body. Secondly, Lev did not pressure me or anyone e.lse 1 obserVed signing the petition! 1 asked him questions concerning it and he answered them. constitution? Are you that afraid of the referendum or the loss of your power? If the proposal is as bad as you claim it is. I’m sure it will be seen as such, hut your tactics only make me believe that you are out to save In his student days he ran for SA president and lost by a landslide: He also applied for Executive Director of Sub Board, and was laughed at. Perhaps it is a little more than a coincidence that he is now trying to recall the*SA president, and the V.P. for Sub Board One. As a student I urge all students to stand up to Mr. Levinson next time he comes up to you in the union, and tell him where he can stick his petitions. bare Harttbaiul yourselves. Gerald J. Marctwcia A letter by Michael Stephen Levinson Petitions are being circulated to recall Dennis Delia and Jeffery Lessoff from office in the SA. According to the Constitution, a petition to recall an officer from SA requires only 5 percent of the Undergraduates to sign. The recall must be specific, like breaking the Articles of the Constitution that charge them, upon receipt of a petition signed by 10 percent of the student body to, within one week, validate the petitions and hold a meeting of.the Senate and within two more weeks (a three-week period) hold a vote. Have the referendum. The petitions to hold the so-called ‘Leverendum,’ making the Student (lovt. for course credit instead of money, were received by the office of elections and credentials on Friday, the week before spring recess. A well publicized meeting of the Senate should have been called for the following week and the student body should have voted on the issue last week. The hacks were given had advice and Suppressed the student's right to a vote. Play by the rules or gel slapped in the hand by a ruler. The recall petition goes directly to the Student Wide Judiciary whose duty is to investigate the validity of the charges did they do it? Bye Dennis bye J efferv A complaint is being filed with the Student Wide Judiciary today against Dennis Delia for not putting the petition up to a vote in a referendum. The Student Wide Judiciary is charged under the SA Constitution to order President Delia to put up those booths and let the students have a vote, if indeed he received a petition, which he did. The SWJ cannot consider the legality issue (which is bullshit) until after the vote. What I would like to do is write the Structural Analysis so that everything is explained to everybody, so you know how to cast your vote, but I can’t yet because I was slandered in the last Senate meeting and President Delia lied to them as he has in the past. I might have to circulate a petition of consideration in order to be on the agenda (signatures of 2 percent of the student body), but any 40 students can petition to speak before the senate-appoint a representative and introduce an item for consideration. The next Senate meeting might be this Wednesday. They have appointments to make chunks of money to give away the old pork barrel.

I ssistuiil S/torts Editor Pilcher Bill Casbolt continued dominating the Buffalo mound with a pair of superb performances the weekend as the Bulls split two doubleheaders at Pittsburgh on Friday and West Virginia on Sunday. Casbolt got a save with some clutch pitching in the last inning against Pittsburgh and held West Virginia scoreless the next day. over Casbolt turned in his most exciting effort in the first game at Pittsburgh. Ron Nero had started for the Bulls, bin gave way to Casbolt in the seventh inning with one out. the bases loaded and Buffalo ahead by one. Casbolt used a combination of curve -balls and sliders to get the first bdt'ter to pop up and the second to fan. The Bulls won that game 5-4, helped in part by Mike Grub’s two run single. Hard worker Casbolt started the first game against West Virginia, which gave him three appearances in three days (Casbolt pitched in the Bulls’ home opener against Canisius). Despite all that work. Casbolt pitched a shut-out and Buffalo won 3-0. Casbolt again relied on his curves and sliders. “He hasn't let me down yet.” said Monkarsh.who also credited the team’s strong defense in the win. Mike Dixon had two hits in that game,and two suicide squeeze bunts brought in two more runs. Buffalo had a taste of their own medicine in the second game when they were shut out. “We just didn’t hit the ball." explained Monkarsh. Buffalo got only three hits in that game. Don Griebner started for the Bulls, with Luke Owens coming in the third and Craig Wart filing in the sixth. The Bulls face the Big Red of Cornell today in a at Peellc Field, starting at 1:30 p.m. Cornell is presently leading its league and is favored to win the Ivy League title. "They have a good team and it should be a very interesting doubleheader to watch." predicted Monkarsh. doubleheacfcr In the second game of that doubleheader, the Bulls got 14 hits, but left twelve men on base. “We didn't get the big hit when we needed it." noted BfilTalo coach Bill Monkarsh.

Casbolt, the only senior on the pitching staff, picked up two wins and a save in a recent three-day span. First, he pitched two and two-thirds innings of shutout relief on Thursday to beat Canisius. Next, with Buffalo leading Pittsburgh 5 4 in the last inning, Pittsburgh loaded the bases with one out. Casbolt came in and retired the side. The next day, Casbolt pitched a six hit shutout at West Virginia.

The Courier-Express seems to have appointed itself guardian of Children’s Hospital, stopping little short of charging this University with conspiracy to push through merger plans which would "destroy” Children's. I think there is a misunderstanding between the Courier and the merger group. 1 think the Courier is concerned that Children’s would close automatically with a merger As far as I’m agreement. .concerned there are no commitments yet as to the outcome of the feasibility study.

Section 1: 1st Ron Kensek, 2nd Darryl lst-2nd (tie) Wiley Youngs, Dean Barron. Martman. Section 2 For the first time since 1?72, this University held an athletic awards banquet Thursday night. Some people liked the event, others disliked it, and former Student Association President Steve Schwartz thought the steak was tough. Even though he was served roast beef. However, there was unanimous agreement that the idea of an athletic awards dinner,was a good one. When the dinner was an annual affair before 1972, several big names such as Howard Cosell and Jim McKay were guest speakers, but the banquet was dropped from the sports schedule. It was reinstated this year because the Alumni Association donated a large sum of money so it could be held. Although «no announcement about football was made, UB Alumni Association Vice President Mike Guerico announced that the parties involved were still working for an agreement and left everyone with the impression that there would indeed be football next year. Delia speaks Current SA President Dennis Delia who enjoyed Ills steak, added that for tlje first time in a long while, the future of athletics here looks bright and that it -s once again “in vogue’’ to be an athlete. I don’t know about whether it’s in vogue to be an athlete again, but Delia was certainly right about the future. The combination of Delia, Athletic Directors Ed Mffto and Betty Dimmick and (he Foundation have changed the path of athletics for the better. Among the awards given were letters to many varsity athletes and most improved awards to several women. Eight athletes were honored for receiving the Clifford C. Furnas Scholar-Athlete Award of up to $1000 for graduate work. Furnace was chancellor of this University from 1954-1062, and was an outstanding athlete at Purdue. The eight receiving the awards were: Bill Cole (tennis). Marylin Dellwardt (basketball and volleyball), Rob Gurbacki (tennis). Jack Kaminska (hockey and baseball), Mark Karrer (soccer), Bill fmmh Mir* and track) and Joel Solomon (fencing). Sports Editor Pittsburgh Pittsburgh Pericak (swimming), John Ryerson (cross country by Paige Miller fy: pro4uc4-4 CANiSUiS COU&E little theatk At** DewM COMUNICA IHa GW flaw barg in basimthf cf Silver Bulls A new award, the Silver Bull, was instituted, for someone who goes above and beyond the call of duty to help athletics here. Walter Qantz, assistant professor of Speech Communications, volunteered to coach track and cross country for free, received one Silver Bull. The other went to Guercio, who helped revive the banquet. Mike Hirsch of the golf team received the ECAC Medal of Merit for both academic and athletic ability, and bowler Gigi Ruddy received the Most Valuable Player award of all women’s athletes. Some of the jokes told by Master of Ceremonies Edmond Gicewicz were a bit old, and it definitely got a little dull when the list of all the athletes was read and the athletes stood up. Still, most people I talked to had a pleasant evening., and I’m sure that the banquet will be an annual event in years to come. Potpourri: Gantz finished 120 in a field of over three thousand people at the recent Boston Marathon ' . Several changes have been made at Peelle Field. First, the bleachers on the first base side of the diamond have been removed. The Bulls also are wearing white tops, instead of the blue they wore last year. I liked the blue uniforms better. If is rumored that a certain member of the tennis team didn’t like the way his steak was cooked Friday night in Binghamton, so he sent it back. Later, the rest of the team kidded him, and when he was brought ice cream, another member of th$ team asked, “Are you sure you don’t want to send that back too? It doesn’t look frozen enough.” John Moore, the hockey Bulls’ goaltender, will attend training camp with the Buffalo Sabres next fall, and will probably be assigned to one of the Sabres’ minor league affiliates. Moore was also voted MVP for the Bulls’ 1976-77 campaign. Ray Gruarin was elected captain for next year, and Chris Bonn won an award entitled “Spirit of UB Hockey.” __ April Zfl at foOftf.

L., Robin Schimminger (D., Tona.) has initiated a petition drive urging Governor Hugh Carey and the State Health Commissioner to “save Children’s Hospital as an autonomous regional institute.” Reacting premature to attempts to block a merged at all costs, and before the facts are in, Robert Scheu, S. former Chairman of the Buffalo General Board of Trustees, said this: “There are those in the dream stage who don’t understand what —continued from page 1 • • the problems are. The short-term, naive emotional approach is that things can stay as they are.” “Those who say we can go on the way we are,” he continued, “are sounding the death knell for these and other institutions. One by one, as more money is lost under the present system, we’re going to shut our doors.” The debate over merger is bound to be long and heated. Some proponents . of the status-quo are going beyond rational means to preserve it. They cloud the issue with sensationalism and over-dramatization. When the issue is studied cooly, these facts seem to emerge: The financing of all four hospitals is at best precarious. If they do not act soon to eliminate the costly upkeep of unused beds and the- wasteful duplication of services which now takes place, they face ever increasing costs Tuition waivers Foreign Student Tuition Waiver Applications for Summer 1977 and for Fall 1977 semesters are not available at the Office of Financial Aid, 312 Stockton Kimball Tower Hall. The deadline for applications for either semester is May 16. Only those students who are on an F or J visa are eligible to apply for the waiver. The Financial Aid Office is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Page fourteen . The Spectrum . Wednesday, 27 April 1977 — while revenues dwindle Children’s Hospital, though it commands world-wide respect and recognition, faces even greater problems than the other three. With each passing year registering declining birth rates, Children’s must expect to suffer continuing decrease in demand while maintenance costs, equipment prices, and physician salaries skyrocket. The possibility of Children’s very survival resting in merger must be faced squarely, and it must be faced soon. —. At all four hospitals, the physical plant is aged, and in some cases, badly deteriorated. Considering this, new plants will eventually have to be built to replace the old. Consolidating the County’s new Grider Street facility may save many millions of dollars in the long run. New buildings cost money. If the four hospitals do consolidate at Grider Street, it is possible and even likely that cost to patients would rise. What remains to -be seen, what must be studied intensely, is whether a merger would bring Buffalo better health care at a sensible increase in costs — to consumers.' Until the task forces studying the question announce their results, false accusations, opportunism and the forwarding of personal biases can only serve to cloud the issue and thereby hurt the interests of the people of Buffalo.

No. 77 State University of New York at Buffalo Monday, 25 April 1977 The rites of spring Off-campus search begins with limited market by Beth Simon Spectrum Staff Writer Students sit around hastily filling out forms, while landlords drift in and out flaunting the qualifications of their available apartments. Amidst all the hustle-bustle and the endless questions, a frantic voice is heard, crying, “I need a house!” It’s the house-hunting season and the Off Campus Housing Office in Room 342 Squire Hall is swamped once again. A reported five hundred people have filled out surveys since it began operations two weeks ago. “The real crush began immediately after we got back from vacation, but now people are really starting to get nervous,” said Director Heidi Lewis. One staff member, John Puma, added, “No matter what you do, there are always more people looking than available apartments.” At present, approximately 450 houses have passed through the office files. The list is primarily compiled through surveys sent to students who live off campus, inquiring if they will remain in their apartments. The surveys also ask them to specifically rate their landlords and the apartment themselves. From these responses and information gathered from themselves as well as from students and landlords stopping in and filling out forms which are then posted on bulletin boards outside the office, the service gets rented so the after day. “It aggravated by they bother to houses remain on the board day is not until people become very constant calls from students that let us know,” said Lewis. its inventory Red Giant Agency ‘Landlord Availability’ list used ‘Landlord Another tactic is a Availability’ list, which, compiled last year, contains the names, addresses and telephone numbers of most landlords renting in the UB area. These landlords are sent letters and their responses serve to swell the numbers of available units. The service operates the same way it did last year. Students fill out surveys which are then fed into a computer. The computer prints out a list of up to ten houses which meet the students’ qualifications. The program used by the computer has been slightly updated.- At present it will not print out the same house more than five times in one week. Obviously, this serves to prevent 200 people from all looking at the same house. One problem with the service is that landlords often do not call up after their houses have been The Off Campus Housing Office is not the only alternative open to students. Many opt to work through actual real estate brokers. One such firm is Red Giant, located on Main Street between Winspear and Northrup. “Red Giant guarantees one year’s service and also guarantees to work with you until you are placed,” asserted Mick Thompson, vice president of the nationwide company. One often cited hangup is the $45.00 fee charged to prospective tenant. Landlords can input houses free of charge, which is the reason that Red Giant has so many listings Another reason for this, as Thompson sees it, is reputation. “1 would imagine we are the largest firm in Western New York and we’ve been here the longest,” he said. Thompson continued that most of his business does not come from students, although many students do use the agency Amherst move One of the major issues now in the Off Campus Housing business is the movement of students and classes from Main Street to the Amherst Campus. Landlords are going crazy buying out apartments in Amherst because they fear their houses in Buffalo will become worthless after the shift, said Lewis. Aside from the expensive taxes in Amherst, the competition among landlords is driving the prices up, which will result in high rents, perhaps prohibitively high. The only positive effect of the transition is that once students start moving to Amherst, the demand for Buffalo apartments will go down, Thompson surmised. “Hopefully, so will the high rents that some big landlords are able to charge,” w she said. For now though, the rush is on and to everyone who is frantically searching the situation appears desperate but it’s helpful to know someone is there to help. �Spectrum interview 4 9 trial his of inequities alleged explores Johnson by R. Gilbert Contributing Editor The first trial of Kenneth Johnson ended last week. The all-male 'jury handed down a verdict that acquitted the black East Side resident of charges stemming from one incident of rape, but reached no decision regarding a second charge of rape. That indecision will most likely result in a retrial on the remaining charges. Johnson, was arrested almost one-and-a-half years ago. Interviewed on Friday in his South Division home, Johnson expressed disappointment and outrage. Determined'to vindicate himself, he is also maintaining a fervent battle against Buffalo’s judicial and police systenis, demanding accountability for their alleged “misconduct.” Over the course of an hour. Johnson explored the jury’s decisions, the problem he now faces and his plans for the future. Racist attitudes The Spectrum. Why a hung jury? Johnson: Naturally it was a whole lot of factors, bht I think it was primarily the racist attitudes of the jury that led to their no verdict. The evidence in this case so clearly points to my innocence that only other factors could be responsible for anything less than an acquittal. For example, only two of those jurors live in Buffalo (jurors are selected from a county-wide pool], and no matter what they say, there is no way they can have any kind of understanding of the black man when they’re living out in the white suburbs, I wasn’t judged by a jury of my peers that jury wasn’t black, wasn’t podr. and wasn’t even Buffalo. The Spectrum: Did you feel you had a particularly racist jury, and that possibly you'll get a better one the second time around? Johnson: Well, we don’t know. we can get a black person on it, If there'll be a real improvement. Radical, conservative, it doesn't matter a black juror will act as a check on any overt racism among the jurors. He’ll demand a thorough look at pretty much just the facts. As to how we’ll get that black juror, we’re going to start a mass campaign to register blacks in the jury pool. 1 mean, the fact that there was only three, instead of the eight blacks needed for a representative jury pool, that points to something intentional that we have to actively fight. Motions in the courtroom just aren’t going to solve the problem. — - UNIVERSITY PHOTO University Photo will be open Tubs., Wed., Thurs. 10 a.m.—3 p.rri. /Vo appointment necessary. 3 photos — S3.95 $4.50 4 photos each additional with $.50 original order Reorder rates — — $2,00 $.50 each additional 3 photos — University Photo 355 Norton Hall All photos available for pick-up on Friday of week taken The Spectrum is published Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the academic year and on Friday only during the summer by The Spectrum Student Periodical, Inc.

Second class postage paid that has been shown tq.us Political support The Spectrum: What effect did your political support have on on the trial, and your community? Johnson: Well, we’ve managed to raise in a big way a lot of questions about justice, racism and rape due to the trial. We’ve gotten a whole lot of people large questioning, moving numbers of black people have shown concern for my case, and that’s a tremendous advance because it just doesn't happen in the black community. This case has politicized a lot of people, not just the younger, but the older folks. They’re starting to understand how difficult it is to obtain justice in Buffalo, and-why that is. As for the effect on my (rial, the fact that we had the court filled a whole lot of the time, showed the judge, (he prosecutor, and the jury that there were a lot of people concerned with this case. That definitely made a difference in what went on. The Spectrum: Where do you from here? go Johnson: Well, right now money’s our biggest problem. We’ve got S5000 still to pay for this trial, and the next one will be almost S 10,000 probably. ,So fundraising is a priority. Besides that, we’re going to call for the current prosecutor to be removed from the case due to his outrageous misconduct during the trial, his abuse of the grand jury system, and his ignoring the judge’s restraining orders. - MULTIDISCIPLINARY CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF AGING Rev.

Welch Special to The Spectrum Second'Mesa, Ariz.) It was crowded in the yellow school A few lights made the interior, stuffed with traveling gear and school supplies, glow warmly in the night. Many of the young women were knitting socks, caps or sweaters while they listened to the words of their peers. Their male counterparts listened as well. They were gathered at one of the daily meetings of the one of a kind Trailside Country School, a nine-month long collegiate study expedition with emphasis on the ecological sciences and environmental education. The students travel about 25,000 miles of the United States in the awkward Trailside bus each year. The intensity of living so closely for almost a year necessitates the daily “encounter group” sessions. The school, with offices in Killington, Vt., hasn’t had a dropout since it was established in 1968. Kenny, a tall, dark, wavy-haired, bright-eyed wit of 17 years, spoke about how he often felt ostracized by the group. He was afraid, he said, to speak out for fear he might be laughed at for saying “diner” when he really meant “dinner or something.” (CPS — — 1 bus. — —continued on page 5 — That rabbit was sillier than we thilought. Earth Week and Food Day was celebrated last week a reminder that we are part of the natural environment we inhabit. - 1 Group reassurance Kenny also was bothered by a joke he’d made about his dead mother. (Kenny had been close to her. lust before she died they had argued. His mother wanted him to stay at her bedside; he leftexplaining his homework was late and more important. Her death led him to seek escape in drugs.) He said it was irresponsible for him to have punned and wrong that others had laughed. A few of the twenty 16- to 21-year-old students of the unique year-long traveling college remained silent. For the most part, though, the women looked up from their knitting and waited with the men to comment. Many of the students criticized Kenny for being hard on himself; for not tolerating the simple sort of mistakes we all make. It was difficult for Kenny to accept, but after a period of honest speaking out, revealing that he felt “dumber than you other guys,” he was affected by the rational logic of the group members. After 30 minutes he was refreshed the others had helped him see his mistakes CHARLIE’S Men’s Hair Styling ~Tippy'S Taco House 2351 Sheridan Dr. WE’RE THE PEOPLE THAT HELP BRING YOU Across from Goodyear at UNIVERSITY PLAZA 20% DISCOUNT THE SPECTRUM ETHOS! with this ad 99c SPECIAL of the Week!

Students from Taiwan and Iran suffer most as result of such surveillance and intimidation. In May 1976, the National Association of Foreign Student Advisor (NAFSA) met in Washington, D.C. to investigate nationwide campus political spying on foreign students, following reports of alleged Kuomintang (KMT, the government party of Taiwan) spying and intimidation of students who read books or go to movies from or about the People’s Republic of China. On a recent CBS program “60 Minutes” the Shah openly admitted the activities of SAVAK (the Iranian secret police) in the United States. The GSA Foreign Student Affairs Committee condemn all forms of political surveillance on and intimidation of foreign students. We shall expose some of the immoral activities of these secret agents, and urge that proper measures be taken against them immediately. The Daily Californian outlined alleged KMT spying activities at the University of California at Berkeley. Nearly every Chinese professor and student conceded that someone watched and reported on students. St. Paul Pioneer Press interviewed students from Taiwan. “They have power over us,” a student said, “they can cut off our connection between us and our family.” Threatened reprisals, he said included that their families in Taiwan could be threatened with punishment, that students could be given jail terms if they return home, and that they could be assaulted in this country. . Cornell Daily Sun and Boston Globe have published a series of articles on KMT incidents at Cornell and MIT. When the KMT Consul General in New York City, Kung-chuan Hsia talked at Cornell, one student was evicted because he asked that questions be opened to the floor. On January 6, 1976, a KMT student was caught taking pictures at the Forum “Missies in Taiwan.” Brett Klein of The Spectrum reported Iranian secret police (SAVAK) activities in CUNY, last March. A center to coordinate all National University of Iran’s American Collegiate programs was set up at Queens College so that “SAVAK can have a continually update account of not only the academic records of Iranian students in America, but also diverse anecdotal information about their activities in and out of class.” The Village Voice alleged that a quiet $100,000 deal between the Shah and CUNY “offers a boom to his secret police.” The Iranian People's Struggle in the March issue revealed the deep involvement of SAVAK in the affairs of Iranian students abroad, 5s well as their action against the Confederation of Iranian Student National Union. All these reports point to the fact that many foreign students in this country are living under constant surveillance, with their basic human rights violated, their privacy infringed and their security threatened.

The assailants entered a second floor security office sometime after dinner, and threw the firebomb against an office wall, following that action with a quick spraying of carbon dioxide from the fire extinguisher. Security police at the university said that the marijuana taken was at least 10 years old and due to its age the intoxicants are gone and it would be like smoking dried leaves. - Marcuse: “New Left Not Dead” (CPS) Speaking at Washington University in St. Louis, Mo., Herbert Marcuse told an overflow crowd that the new left, which emerged 10 years ago is “by no means dead.” Marcuse, now a professor of philosophy at the University of California at San Diego, called the new consciousness of 60’s a revolutionary and socially dynamic beginning, but the movement, he said, was “politically - immature.” “The movement was in a position where it could be easily defeated,” Marcuse said suggesting internal struggles which hurt the new left. Marcuse added that the structure of the capitalist system has caused a crisis in the world today, citing a conflict between national and capital. “We are in a situation where things tend toward superfluity of the labor-oriented,” he said. Now, when corporate recruiting is at an all time high on college campuses, Marcuse warned students to “fight against degrading schools and universities that train students to work for large corporations. Special schools Another horse story The Wall Street Journal reports that (CPS) thousands of West Germans may have eaten sausages of U.S. horse meat believing they were made from beef, according to customs officials.

Starting Saturday - \ "o "brands AT 1 • ‘Les Blancs’ to play Harriman Theatre Lorraine Hansberry’s finest and final work Les Blancs will open at the Harriman Studio Theatre next week. Fans of Hansberry’s Raisin in the Sun will not want to miss it. Les Blancs is, in the words of Julius Lester, “a masterful play, an almost pure distillation of Lorraine Hanberry’s personal political philosophy.” The previous reactions to that philosophy have reached all the extremes and all the gray areas. It is, superficially, a play concerning the politics of imperialism and vice versa, but more importantly it is a play about politics not as, ideology but as caring, the quality of life and the sacrifices necessary to provide a life worth living for as many as possible. The principal character is Tshembe Matoseb, a young African who has returned to his home from England to attend the funeral of his father. The play opens with the arrival of Charlie Morris, an American reporter from the U.S. who has come to the mission to write a story on the mission founder, Reverend Neilson. There is also Major George Rice, a white settler and major of the colonial reserve army; Dr. Willy DeKoven; Abuseb Matoseb and Eric Matoseb, who are Tshembe’s brothers; Peter, a servant at the mission, and Madame Neilson, who is the wife of the Reverend. Through the principal character, Tshembe, Lorraine Hansberry explains much of her personal philosophy, the reasons why she lived her life as she did and why she wrote the plays she wrote. Her work is an expression of rage in response to oppression: That rage should not separate people, but should be shared. The play is relevant and pertinent to these times both at home and abroad when one (without defenses) considers the realities of discrimination in America and the battleground of contemporary Africa. Les Blancs is being presented April 28th to May 1st, and May 5th to May 8th at 8 p.m. Tickets are $1.00 for students and senior citizens and $2.50 for general admission. Tickets are being sold at the Norton Squire Ticket Office. ‘ , — Worth, Texas. Later investigations showed that the Belgian businessman had previously sold a total of 65 tons of horse meat, falsely labeled as beef. The meat was later sold to sausage makers and distributed to retail stores. VOTE • VOTE For the continuance of GSA, Dept.

Cohen, who created Trailside along with his wife Diana. It’s a symbol for life Shared experiences Kenny’s growth was just one of the scenes common to the school’s daily meetings, designed to expose the faults and virtues of each member so that they can individually decide which quality is valuable and which comes from irrational conditioning. The daily sessions are also used by the group to collectively arrange their traveling itinerary and assign responsibilities to each student. Said one student: “You learn to respect yourself a lot more because you have feedback from all those people that you’re living with so closely. You’re telling them how you feel and you find out a lot about yourself and about a lot of other things, about a lot of other people.” Although the Cohens believe the interaction between their students is an important aspect of the school’s curriculum, they have extended this concept more fully to education brought through conversation and shared experience with tradespeople, professionals, and others they meet along the road. ' “In other words,” explained Mike Cohen, “out there are people like the President or lumberjacks or forest rangers; we try to step into their lives saying you know something we’d like to know it too.” ’ — Environmental forces It has taken years to develop their techniques and concepts into a program which is accepted for full college credit at many schools. Students pay $4,700 to cover all costs of the nine-month long school year of three semesters, with one to three week breaks in order to test what they’ve learned against their home environment. Trailside also offers a summer program at $3,300, which covers all expenses. The Cohens, both professional educators, along with Penny Trocco,' a former student, and her husband Frank have developed a score of courses based on the “undeniable fact that any entity or action on the face of the earth has been molded by the forces of its past and present environment.” The thrust of the Trailside curriculum and indeed the whole expedition, is to demonstrate to the student that to be educated and in control of oneself, you must discover the environmental forces which have made the world and the individual. Given this understanding, Mike Cohen said, the individual has the “freedom and power to identify and sensibly change himself by changing the mold which shapes him.” r ■ - ., Sub-Board I, Inc.

Monday, 25 April 1977 The Spectrum ftge five . . �c EditPrial Oft-campus nightmares There is a notorious student landlord who is raising the rent for all of the fifteen or twenty apartments he owns by ten dollars a month. That's 120 dollars more for a variety of ramshackle tenements and delapidated, decaying hovels which are passed off each year as average student apartments. The unlucky students who will occupy these places will now pay $72.50 a month instead of $70.00. The landlord will only rent to students who sign a fifteen month lease which begins June 1 and ends August 30. The purpose of such a lease, as he explained, was to place the burden for renting the apartment at the end of 12 months on the present occupants, who only wanted it for a year, anyway. This is clever because it shifts the expense of advertising and showing the apartment to the students, and guarantees that they will employ a modicum of salesmanship, if not a bit of deceit, in their desire to escape. Landlords get away with murder because as the front-page story reveals, the demand for apartments in the area surrounding the Main Campus is so much greater than the supply. The increase in dormitory rents within the past two years has also stepped up the demand for apartments. The competition leaves students, who are now busy getting ready for finals, little choice in deciding where to live. Students often take the blame for the miserable conditions of their apartments. We know of one landlord whose houses are a shameless display of peeled and cracking paint. His student renters sometimes offer to paint the outside of the house free of charge, if only the landlord will pay for the paint. But because he does not live in the neighborhood, and because he does not respect the Buffalo homeowners' struggle to keep up the appearance of their streets, he will not pay for paint. The landlord knows that eventually, the focus of the University will shift to the Amherst Campus, and, although there is virtually no affordable off-campus housing there, he anticipates a decline in the demand for his sorry houses. They are old, and not really worthy of the kind of investment it would take to make them anything other than rat traps. In September, The Spectrum reported the findings of a federally funded survey of housing (not exclusively student) in the University Heights Area, which found an everage of eight New York State Housing Code violations per dwelling. Even nightmare findings like these, however, overlook a myriad of other, unrecordable abominations: electrical wiring which requires thirty or forty fuse changes a year; a running toilet; ice build-up on the inside of window panes, unventilated bathrooms. There is no easy solution. We suggest for now that the Off-Campus Housing Office and the University's Division of Student Affairs join forces in a follow-up study of area housing violations, and that these findings be turned over to local legislators. Until then, you can turn to Group Legal Services and the Off-Campus Housing Office. Raise the ceiling. The Spectrum Vol. 27, No. 77 The methods of Chug Israel Editor’s note: The following letter was submitted several weeks ago. To the Editor. I was sorry that the “Chug Israel” people, in their answer of March 16 to my previous letter to Spectrum, have not referred to the essence of my accusation, namely: that they have demagogically used anti-Semitic themes in their ads, and that their slogans are designed to encourage the formation of a ghetto mentality among American Jews. What seems to be implied by this silence is that “Chug Israel” acknowledges the accusation without scruples. On the other end, I am glad of the opportunity given to me by “Chug Israel” to be more specific in my information about this new (yes, one more) Zionist center of activity. Reading their answer, I could not help smiling in view of the rapid cosmetic metamorphosis of “Chug Israel.” Its creation was publicized'by large ads, and officially sponsored by both the Israel Information Center and the American Zionist Youth Foundation. We are now told that “Chug Israel” has absolutely no connection with any group whatsoever. It was formed by four students.” Let these words speak for their authors and stand as a measure of their reliability. As to the official Israeli Committee of which “Chug Israel” has failed to find trace “after intensive investigation on our part:” The existence and composition of that committee, set up to coordinate the propaganda efforts of Israeli students with the Israeli consulates, have been publicized in the Israeli press in February. Specifically, I have quoted the names and respective roles of its members from a report in Ha’arets (the largest Israeli morning paper) of February the 8th, written by Mr. Shlomo Shamir, the paper’s correspondent in NYC. The committee had consulted 50 persons by early February, and I doubt that Buffalo has not been represented in this long list. The ongoing campaign in the American campuses is, unfortunately, characterized by methods that the academic community cannot, and should not accept. The use of racist and arrogant nationalistic slogans is the first. However, of more severe practical implications are the methods of tenor employed against dissidents. A visiting Israeli professor at the UB was recently harassed over the telephone by obscene curses in Hebrew during four days and nights; his sin: he had mentioned, in a letter to Spectrum, his concern for the fate of more than a million Palestinians who are living under occupation for ten years already. Another Israeli professor, visiting the Cornell University, had his private mail opened and xeroxed by Israeli students; the content was sent to Ma’ariv, the most right-wing Israeli paper, and published there in a distorted manner. 1 have sufficient evidence to believe that these activities, of which I have mentioned only two recent examples from WNY, are encouraged and supervised by the Shin Bet (Israeli CIA) and its sub-agencies. Actually, a militant of “Chug Israel” itself is a fake student, being, after many years of “studies” in various universities, only a part-time freshman. The main issue is, of course, not the existence of “Chug Israel” or its links with this or that Israeli official, but the agressive, immoral and sometimes illegal methods employed by it and by the establishment to which it belongs. In the long run, I am sure, their doings will turn out to be an injury to the Israeli people itself. Raphael Shapiro The Lev issue To the Editor: Are 2,000 valid signatures representative of the student population? It was fewer students than this that put Dennis Delia in office. Does Steve Schwartz think that 2,000 people would sign a petition just so the petitioner would leave them alone? He should know from his own election campaign that if someone does not want to listen to you on this campus, they will walk away more often than not. It has also been observed that on at least one occasion a student handed Michael Levinson a full sheet of petitions obtained by her own labor (or was this coercion, too, Schwartz?). The issue here is whether or not our rights as students under the S.A. Constitution are being protected by our elected representatives. Can Dennis Delia deny a petition to remove him from office as weil? If the referendum vote is not held, we support the idea of a challenge in the State Supreme Court. Hopefully, with a student government run for course credit instead of for dollars, a truly collective and representative student government can develop at SUNYAB that will involve more students in high level decisions, instead of forcing them to rely on the likes of Delia, Schwartz, and Rhona Martin. Their statements in Friday’s Spectrum malign the intelligence of the entire student body by implying that people were intimidated by Lev into signing a petition that they neither read nor understood, and that they signed merely to escape Lev’s enthusiasm.

We recognize the right to petition concurrent with the right of free information that information which is — unfettered lies and fraud. The purpose of this, piece is to answer Mr. Levinson’s allegation and Student Association’s course of action. There has been a fair amount of propaganda in the press lately over Lev’s proposal. He has charged us with everything from “disrupting a meeting of six student governments” to “intransience.” of U.B. where no course exists for it this fall, there be one this fall! nor can Questionable motives? Does Mr. Levinson’s proposal insure the right to a representative form of government, legal distribution of funds, system of funding organizations? All these would be left up to Lev. He is demanding the power to personally create this new student government, establishing its rules, regulations and structure. Let the courts decide before we take this step. We do not want any surprises later. Complaints have been handed in that Lev would say anything necessary to sway students to sign his petition. Needless to say, this alone would demand an investigation by the SWJ. Above and beyond these important questions, I have to question the motives of Mr. Levinson democratic Who controls Lev’s SA? Let us consider a few important facts. The most himself. One realizes that this is apart from the issue of referendum, but I also feel that this history would important fact to remember is that any registered prove enlightening to the student body. Mr. day-time undergraduate student may sponsor a is a well known performer to countless Levinson referendum (Leverendum?). Mr. Levinson is not a numbers of students as well as alumni. Mr. day-time undergraduate student! The Student Wide Levinson’s antics have included a plan (in the early Judiciary (SWJ) must protect the rights and liberties ’70’s) for the SA to fund his trip to North Vietnam of the University students. in order to read “Deuteronomy” and settle the war. This referendum proposes moving SA into a playing the role of international diplomat, Besides course that doesn’t exist as claimed, taught by a has also been a candidate for Vice Mr. Levinson teacher who said he wouldn’t teach it. The SWJ must President of the United States in 1972 (his mother prevent this abuse of democracy ran with him for president), and has been the to establish a government whose constitution and resident prophet of the Rathskeller. He ran structure will be determined by Lev. unsuccessfully for SA president in 1975 and since We believe any referendum which proposes to has redoubled his efforts to amend the SA. amend by substitution the current SA Constitution There are many questions that have been raised, must in fact be a legitimate form of government, a but neither the Executive Committee nor the Senate government capable of disbursing mandatory student will rule on the validity of the petition. This will be fees under existing legal guidelines and provide the the function of the SWJ. In closing let us say that this is a statement of activities and services a government must provide. Mr. Levinson’s document provides none of these. fact, not misleading rhetoric or innuendo. I trust in Instead it moves student government under the your common sense and ability to distinguish reality jurisdiction of Division of Undergraduate Education from fantasy in understanding this situation. Guest Opinion by Jeff Lessoff stupidity and This is in reply to the incredible statements made by Michael Levinson in The Spectrum on April 20, 1977. As of this date, I am not aware of the charges being leveled against me as Vice President to Sub Board I. 1 know that I have disagreed with “Lev” on numerous occasions and was then threatened with impeachment by him if I didn’t help him. I told Mr. Levinson to “try it” because I was not going to be dictated to, by him or any other non-student. I felt then and still do that his referendum is invalid for many reasons. Among them is that I will not surrender the student government to the administration or to Lev. The S.A. lawyer has stated emphatically that the referendum in his opinion does not comply with mandatory student fee guidelines. Yet all in all this is only my opinion. The duty of the V.P. to Sub Board is to be a liaison from S.A. “to-Strb-Board. The Vice President to Sub Board has no official say as to whether or not a referendum shall be held. I have stated my views on this subject to other S.A. officials. A referendum will be held if the Student-wide judiciary feels that it is valid. 1 do take Mr. Levinson’s statement about my intransience very lightly, considering the source. I am at least as intelligent as this 35-year-old former fruit vendor! As for intransience I have certainly noticed Mr, Levinson’s transient personality. He seems to get very irate and almost loses control of himself if you don’t agree with him. There have been times when I’ve felt like slapping him to bring him out of his tantrum but 1 thought better of it. There is one area where Lev is an intransient and determined as anyone can be. Mr. Levinson will not rest until he is control of S.A. and possibly Sub Board. Lev has three motives for his coup of the S.A. government; 1) to make a lot of money from S.A.; 2) to read his book of poems in front of the student body; 3) to get revenge for all the years of frustration in U.B. student politics. You must remember 2 years ago when Mr. Levinson lost his bid for the S.A. presidency. The one thing I ask is that Mr. Levinson leave student politics and student fees to students. This seems only logical. We all know of the problems in S.A. But we students are competent to handle the situation. This is what students fought for in the 60’s. What I see now is a 60’s radical lost in the 70’s. l.essoff is Vice President for Sub Board I, Inc.

The Buffalo World Hospitality Society is organizing the houseguest About 37 English from the Soviet Union coming to Buffalo this take part in a special teachers will be June to summer training program, Stephen C. Dunnett, director; of the. State University at Buffalo Intensive English Language Institute (IELI) has announced. Dunnett said the visiting (all scholars teachers at universities in Soviet Republics) will spend eight weeks at the language SUNYAB institute, primarily to learn American methods of teaching English as a second language. The Soviets will also attend seminars and tutorials given by faculty members of various University departments. They will be treated as visiting faculty and on occasion engage in practice teaching exercises before foreign students enrolled in other IELI summer programs. The director reported that arrangements were being made for the teachers to stay in dormitory accommodations near the IELI in headquarters the Ellicott Complex on the Amherst campus, ' program. Dunnett said he had received word that the Soviets were particularly interested in the use of language laboratories and audio-visual equipment in English instruction, and that they also want to learn about the linguistic differences between American and British language use. Although the Soviets will be involved principally with the IELI, they will also attend courses and seminars led by members of the linguistics, communication, departments. and education Lectures on American studies will be presented by members of ' English, geography, history, management, music, political sociology science and departments. The option of taking regular summer session courses will be open to the scholars as well. The Niagara Frontier Transportation Committee reinstated the Lockport Expressway to its regional transportation program. The project is now eligible for funding by the federal government. The seven-member committee chaired by New York State Transportation Commissioner Raymond Schuler went against the recommendations of its own Planning Committee and the views of at least six responsible spokesmen who appeared to oppose the planned roadway. The Lockport Expressway is designed to help alleviate the traffic congestion in the vicinity of this University’s Amherst Campus. In spite of the reinstatement of the project, Schuler promised that the remedial work on Millersport Highway would proceed at the same time. In the words of the commissioner, “both projects are necessary.” Schuler, responding to concerns about State forecasts of a decrease in the population base that will support the area, pledged to discuss the issue at a ■ meeting of the State Economic Development Board. The population drop has been repeatedly raised and reflects the strong concern of regional planners over predictions showing the loss of 30,000 from the area by the turn of the century. Amherst Town Supervisor made a plea for the roadway project, and at the same time asked that the “city-suburban” differences be set aside in the interests of a regional transport system. Buffalo Major Stanley Makowski endorsed the plan despite concern by some that too much money was being diverted out of the city. j State Department approval Dunnett noted that the visit is part of an exchange program funded by the State Department under an agreement with the Soviet Ministry of Higher and Specialized Education. It is administered by the International Research and Exchanges Board, a New York City-based organization whose activities are sponsored by the American Council of Learned Societies and the Social Science Research Council. The program began in 1963 and in past years it has been held at U.C.L.A., Georgetown, Cornell and the University of Michigan. The Intensive English Language Institute will receive about $70,000 for faculty and other associated expenses with the summer program. Dunnett said this was the first contract awarded to a unit of the State University of New York to train Soviet scholars. He said 31 other universities competed for the contract this year. Dunnett expects the Soviet English teachers to arrive at the Buffalo International Airport on June 28. He estimates that 300 others from foreign nations will be taking intensive language training here this summer. ‘Homestays’ A series of trips to Western New York area tourist attractions would be scheduled, Dunnett said, and the Soviet scholars will have opportunities to attend cultural events and participate in campus activities. • I y | Who’s bringing JESSE COLIN YOUNG 1 to Buffalo VEGETARIAN NATURAL FOOD COOKING CLASSES For the 11th Consecutive Year, Electrolux is offering summer, part-time full-time employment to college students.

The Senate also approved a motion by those who felt the referendum should be held to have the Student Wide Judiciary report its findings in a week. Delia, in seeking the Senate’s support, said the student government for course credit petition was signed by many people who didn’t know what they were approving. Although the Colleges Curriculum Committee has instated an experimental summer seminar on student governmnet, Delia said that the class could never carry out the business of a government and that it has not been approved for the fall and may be terminated at any time. “We must draw lines on what is put up to vote. I claim this referendum cannot be affected,” Delia told the Senate. Levinson, a long-time campus figure who is also known as Lev, had written in a Guest Opinion in Wednesday’s issue of The Spectrum that Delia’s challenge to the referendum was in violation of the SA Constitution. The constitution holds that any valid petition signed by Petition to recall SA sources said that Levinson apparently had enough valid signatures. Levinson, who was not present at the Senate meeting in Haas Lounge, said later that he would circulate a petition to recall Delia and Vice President for Sub Board Jeffrey Lessoff, for breaking “the spirit and letter” of the Constitution by not holding the referendum. Before passing the motion to support the challenge by a vote of 16-8, a lively 45-minute debate occurred over the legality of the petition and the challenge. “I think since the signatures were recognized, we have to hold the referendum,” one Senator offered. Senator Rhona Martin, in supporting the challenge to the petition, said she had seen people sign the petition, without reading it. Group Legal Services Director David Brownstein said that although the petition did not provide an apparatus for distributing the $900,000 activity fee and continuing the services the fee supports, he felt the challenge was wrong. “1 still feel it should be put up for referendum. I signed it. And I guarantee [if (he vote is not held] that students will challenge it in STate Supreme Court,” he explained. Former SA President Steve Schwartz said that students had signed the petition so that Lev would leave them alone. He also said that Lev had told students the summer seminar in student government was approved before it actually was. Delia said Levinson had agreed to have Acting Undergraduate Dean Walter Kunz send a letter to him upon the course’s approval, but that he never did. Levinson now says that having a letter written was just another obstruction to the referendum. Kunz could not be reached for comment by press time. Sandy Lee, a Senator who favored holding the referendum, said the number of signatures shows that people see a problem in SA that should be discussed. Former Sub Board Chairman Jon Roller, arguing for the referendum, said it was not proper for the Senate to debate the merits of a valid petition. The Senate also unanimously passed a resolution urging that legal action be launched against Food Service for its decision to charge students extra for the added week of contract service made necessary by the winter shut-down.

Staff Writer Noncommerical literary magazines have published some of the most innovative writing in the United States.

Several writers and editors from Buffalo and the surrounding area participated in this all-day event, which was partially sponsored by the English Department. The first event Saturday afternoon was a membership meeting and a workshop on magazine distribution. Zavrian, Michael Andre, Editor of Unmuzzled Ox, Beverly Vander Kooy, of the University’s poetry collection, and Ahmos Zu-Bolton, Director of Energy Black South Distributors, talked to a crowd of 65 about their careers and the problem of distributing little magazines. Zavrian described CCLM’s Distribution Project in terms of bookstore and library promotion, subscription agency, exhibits and workshops. The panel of four uniformly agreed that distribution was the key to the survival of the small presses.

This led to a more pre-eminent discussion of whether the writer himself should be concerned with the commerciality of his writing or Its esthetic cohesiveness, — the group. A student at this University said at one point during the discussion, “I don’t see what the big deal is. Why don’t you god damn write what you want to write and let the reader choose for himself what he wants to read.” The discussion ended rather abruptly, with much controversy still in the air. In his closing remarks, Fiedler said, “Its time to there are still a lot of stop now but its always a good questions, sign to stop when there are still questions to be asked.” The final event of the day was a group reading with Buffalo area writers and others at the Tralfamadore Cafe. Several writers — read a sampling of their work to informal corwd of approximately 60 people. Readers included Neil Baldwin, Jane an Creighton, Allen Delduch, Carl Dennis, Thomas Horan, Susan Jordon, Judith Kerman, David Lunde and Dennis Maloney. “There are so many little magazines around today that it is pathetic,” claimed Ahmos Zu-Bolton. They provide a forum for new writers to present their work, and in this sense they tend to be avant garde. The importanceof little magazines lies in the fact that they contain newly-created literature of relatively unknown writers. According to Ishmael Reed, ‘They are less conventional they are and more innovative the voice of tomorrow.” ' — Ill by Paulette Buraczenski Spectrum Staff Writer All organizations under the auspices of the Student Association (SA) will be subject to a five percent budget cut, due to a shortage of revenues received by SA. These revenues, derived from mandatory student fees, were grossly over-estimated last year, resulting in a shortage in this year’s budget. The reason for the cut is two-fold. Daytime undergraduate enrollment was down by 5.8 percent last semester, which reduced the amount of money received in activity fee payments. Additionally, the number of students requesting fee waivers was underestimated by 250. Subsequently, SA received $16,000 less than it had anticipated. Another reason for the budget cuts was the payment of debts from previous years. SA Treasurer Neil Seiden cited the example of Panic Theatre, which has accumulated about $1600 in debts. Another problem source is the Record Coop. SA allocated $20,000 to the Coop in the form of a loan, and only a little over $1000 has been repaid. Depending on how the records are interpretea, a 3 to 16 percent deficit exists. However, Seiden chose to cut all clubs by five percent, explaining that a three percent cut would not alleviate the situation, and a 16 percent cut would cripple many organizations. Problems Lunchtime Forum Norton Hall Division and Perplexing Prestidigitations present: A Magic Show with MARTINE, The Nearly Great "Fantastic Fantasies for people not too Sharp" TODAY Budget cuts in store for SA organizations ™ FRIDAY April 22 12 noon 231 Norton • P ■ Bring your lunch, coffee, cider & doughnuts Free! !! Implementation of a five oercent, all-around budget cut “is the only fair thing to do,” Seiden said. The cuts will minimize the effect of last year’s overbudgeting on next year’s students. “It would be unfair to have next year’s students pay for this year’s activities,” Seiden declared, adding, “The effect of the budget cuts will not be known until the end of the fiscal year on August 31 However, this solution will create its own problems. Some clubs and organizations have already spent most of their money, making it impossible to absorb the five percent reductions. In all cases, the individual clubs budget will return the remainder of their resources to SA. “In actuality,” said Seiden, “we are probably cutting less than 5 percent,” taking into account those organizations that cannot pay the five percent cut. The budget cuts will, in effect, penalize those organizations that have saved money since those organizations who spent the greatest part of their budget allocations will not be obliged to pay the full five percent. To alleviate the problems caused by the budget reductions, Seiden pointed out that next year SA will try to return as much money as possible to the organization? on a pro rata basis. In pther words, a percentage of the money cut from each club’s budget will be restored on the condition that SA’s resource problems are resolved. ‘Let things ride' c- Another solution to this problem is also being explored, SA can credit the amount due to the club’s budget for next year. However, Seiden feels that this is not necessary. “The differences are not substantial,” he said, adding he preferred to “let things ride.” “All governments are having problems getting their revenues,” Seiden said, adding that this type of action will be taken in other University budgets. Seiden claimed that Sub Board will suffer a loss of about $15,000, which will affect other organizations like LTniversity Union Activity Board (UUAB), Health Care Divisions, and the Publications Division, to name a few. r— *Hear 0 Israel** For gems from the ATTENTION BOY SCOUTS And Any Other GroupLooking for Jewish Bible Phone 875-4265 HELP • Construction of...

A 'Just so much gas' When asked why NFG did not refund the $10 per customer requested by NYPIRG, Gerald C.

NFG’s fiscal yey runs from October 1 thru September 30, and the company has a set amount of fuel which must least them the entire year. “We have just so much gas at the start of the year,” he said. “If we sell a lot in the first quarter, it WRNTED From the team that made ‘Z - signatures.

However, Miller anticipates that when the fiscal year expires at the end of September, 1977 will on the whole be a worse year than 1976. “Sales dropped seven billion cubic feet in the second quarter, January 1 thru March 31, from the same period in 1976,” said Miller. Net profit same How could there be such a decrease in fuel usage at a time when Buffalo was experiencing some of the most severe weather in its history? Miller explained that official curtailment caused many factories, schools, etc. to lower their temperatures or close during those three months. “A large conservation effort by the public also cut back on sales,” he continued. “Our net profit at the end of tfie year is the same whether we sell it all at one time or spread it out over the entire year,” he said. If this is true, how could other utility companies afford to give rebates? “The circumstances in Rochester are totally different,” said Miller. NFG contracts for its fuel so that it has only a limited sup-ply for each year. Rochester has an unlimited amount of gas; therefore just because they sold a lot at the beginning of the year edoes not mean that they have to cut back fpr the rest of the year.

Gilbert and Wendy Krasnoff The controversial jury trial of Johnson, a black Kenneth Buffalonian accused of rape, concluded late Wednesday with acquital on first counts of rape, robbery and resisting arrest, and an evenly split hung jury on second counts of rape and robbery, as well as of sodomy. Johnson is currently free on $30,000 bail. The jury found that Johnson did not rape or rob Eillen Murphy on Thanksgiving Day, 1975, nor did he resist arrest the following December 3. The jury was unable to reach a decision regarding the sodomy, robbery and rape of Debbie Richards on November 29. Both rapes had been alleged by the prosecution to have been committed by the same man, since the assailants’ appearance and methods of attack were very similar. Possible dismissal, retrial Immediately following the verdict, prosecutor Albert T. Ranni declared that he was ready for a retrial. The defense announced its intentions,'“in the best interests of justice,” to make a motion that all remaining charges be dismissed. from the Representatives Committee to Clear Kertneth Johnson had mixed reactions. “This is only a partial victory,” said Melodi Shapiro, “Kenny is still free . . . not injustice continues.” Trial proceedings had begun in March with pretrial hearings and later the jury selection process. Jurors were selected from a county-wide pool of ninety, only three of whom were black. None of the prospective black jurors were seated as two were ruled out by the prosecutor and it was found that the third had known Johnson in high school. The final jury was all white, predominantly middle-aged and generally from professional and small business backgrounds. At one point during the trial, the defense moved that an entire new jury pool be selected, and cited statistics indicating that the number of potential black jurors should have been almost three times higher to proportionately represent Erie County’s black population. ' Prosecution’s case Johnson’s trial began April 3 with the presentation of the prosecutor’s case by Assistant District Attorney Albert T. Ranni. The two major points in his the presentation concerned victims’ identification of their VEGETARIAN NATURAL FOOD COOKING CLASSES conducted by CHERYL SCHIPANI of Greenfield St. Restaurant Begin May 12th DIET COOKING CLASSES Begin April 29th th.Q lanhandler « call 835-4006 . to enroll rapists, and the exact time the attacks occurred. According to Eilleen Murphy, the first rape victim to testify, she was accosted on the corner of and Richmond on Bryant 1975, at Thanksgiving Day, approximately 8:15 p.m. She was forced at gunpoint into her car, and told to drive to the Sears parking ramp on Main Street, where she was robbed and raped by her assailant. The entire incident took 50 minutes. Johnson maintains he had dinner at his Thanksgiving parents’ house until 8:00 or 8:15 when he left with his girlfriend and went to their own apartment on the East Side. At about 8:30, he woke a neighbor to watch a football game. Seven witnesses, both relatives and friends, verified the story. The prosecution in summation asserted that all the to lie or witnesses had distort the truth, and were unreliable. The jury, however, their accepted testimony, acquitting Johnson on this count. Debbie Richards, the second victim to identify Johnson as her rapist, was accosted at about 11:45 a.m. in the elevator of Buffalo General Hospital/not far from Johnson’s place of work, the Mental Health Community Center. She felt later that in fact the time was closer to 11:30. Richards then testified that her attacker produced a gun and forced her to go to the 6th floor of the hospital where she was robbed and raped. The assault took about ten minutes, according to the victim. Defense witnesses declared that Johnson was still at work from about 11:30 to 11:40, wearing different clothes than those of the No witness could rapist. locate Johnson specifically immediately prior to 11:30. One witness testified that at about 11:45 she met Johnson for lunch, though other witnesses felt it may have been later. ‘ Sketch dissimilar Both witnesses, at the time of the attack, had said that Johnson resembled closely the composite sketch of a light skinned black man printed in the newspaper December 2 as did the security guard at the Mental Health Center w'ho originally notified the police that Johnson could be the rapist. Johnson, however, is dark skinned. In other discrepancies pointed out by Joseph Birmingham, the defense lawyer, Johnson was noted to have no upper front teeth, a fact not mentioned by the victims until the trial. Johnson is also nearsighted without his glasses, best able to read at close range. But Debbie related that her attacker had demanded her driver’s license, and had squinted to read it up close. Most telling was the attacker’s use of his left hand to hold his gun. Johnson is right handed. Also to the damaging prosecutor’s case were the-allegedcircumstances improper surrounding the lineup wherein Johnson was identified by the rape victims. Of the five men in a ’age four The Spectrum Fri iday, 22 April 1977 . . . lineup photograph shown at the trial, Johnson is the only man with light colored clothing. Also, Johnson’s face had a noticeable cut over one eye, sustained during his arrest. Despite testimony to the contrary by Eileen, the prosecutor Ranni, asserted that the cust was not visible to the rape victims, and that the color of Johnson’s clothing in this case did not set Johnson apart. • Series of rapes relevant but most A unexplored aspect to the charges against Johnson regards several other rapes that occurred at the same period as those Johnson is charged with. In the time around Thanksgiving through December 5, 1975, five and possibly six rapes were reported, including the two%Johnson is presently charged with committing. All were by a man of similar description, and operating in a similar manner. The other victims did not identify Johnson as their attacker, but no further arrests have been made. The defense alleges that a sixth rape, with an identical modus operandi occurred after Johnson had been arrested and jailed. If substantiated, the claim would add support to Johnson’s plea of innocence. Additionally, a third rape victim, who had participated in the drawing of the composite sketch so widely publicized in Buffalo, was willing to testify that Johnson was not her attacker, although he did resemble the sketch. Judge Mikoll denied the motion requesting that she be allowed to appear, explaining that she could have been raped by someone else, and her testimony therefore had no bearing on the case. Public support A committee to clear Kenneth Johnson has publicized the case since the arrest, and is continuing its appeal for active public support. The Committee alleges that Johnson is the victim of a racist frameup, made necessary by a business community desperate to find the rapist that was turning away sales trade just as the crucial Christmas season was beginning. The Committee also states that complete acquittal would so . embarrass the Buffalo Police, force and the prosecutor’s office, that the trial continues despite evidence that overwhelming innocent, Johnson is and accompanying defense motions that charges be dropped. Melodi Shapiro, a member of the defense committee declares that, “It is a fact that these women have been raped, but, for various reasons, the wrong man has been arrested. Defense evidence undeniably points to Ken’s while innocence, the prosecutor’s case is based only on the discrediting and defaming of defense witnesses. It should be remembered that the defense has not, as is traditional in many rape cases, attempted tp deny that the -ropes occurred,--nor-to put the victims on trial in examining their morals and sexual views.” The Committee asserts that rape laws have been historically used to intimidate and jail black men, often putting them to death, while white men receive lower sentences set free, or are especially when the victim’s “morals” or the identity of the rapist is put into doubt. The Committee feels existing rape laws are completely inadequate to protect women from rape, leaving the victimized little recourse but silence. Ranni declined to comment on the views of the Committee, but said during his summation that “this is not-a racial issue, this is the trial of a violent crime.” Defense lawyer Bermingham stated that its motion to drop charges would take two weeks to a month to be ruled on. The Committee plans to redouble their efforts and are calling for more volunteers and financial aid. Shapiro declared that funds, especially in the likely case of a retrial, are very desperately needed. Checks may be sent to P.O. Box 75, Station J, Buffalo, N.Y. 14208.

Gym construction may begin with new funds Delayed construction of the Amherst Gym has helped to maintain the inadequate condition of athletic facilities at this University. No plans have been made to rennovate or add new equipment to Clark Gym. Reallocation of necessary funds will enable this University to start the construction on a physical education complex at once. Many feel the athletic facilities at this University are extremely underdeveloped. Preventing adequate physical education are the small ■class size and the limited amount of instructors available. Presently there are approximately 16 full-time instructors in the physical education department. These 16 instructors are responsible for over 10,000 full time day students. The small classes make it difficult for students to complete their physical education requirement for graduation (currently 2 credit hours). Busy building The only gym on campus, Clark Hall, houses the University’s 15 athletic teams and classes for majors and non-majors. Facilities for individual recreation are also located in Clark Hall. Director of Women’s-Athletics Betty Dimmick considers the lack of space to be the greatest obstacle which has cuased the curtailment of students’ the greatest obstacle whfch has caused the curtailment of students’ Babble will become an even less adequate physical education facility. Presently, the facilities provided by the Bubble are scarce, offering only the barest of necessities. Coordinator of Men’s Intercollegiate Athletics Edwin Muto who opposed the construction of the Bubble from the very beginning claimed the structure “was being used only as a pacifier. The Ketter administration has put athletics secondary to academics.” He also feels student involvement in this matter would be extremely helpful aiding the construction effort. Plans for a new complex on Amherst Campus exist and wait for the beginning of construction. The layout of the proposed new complex on Amherst is composed of two major sections, named Phase I and Phase II, Phase I is a field house and Phase II includes a swimming pool, handball and racketball courts and many smaller rooms for the instructors. Locker rooms will be placed between the two main parts. The plans for the new complex were approved by Albany administrators eight years ago. The funding cutback, however, delayed the beginning of the construction until now. On the new campusenough space for such an enormous project would be available while on Main Street Campus space is so restricted that it is impossible to even enlarge Clark Hall. The present facilities now are not big enough for the-number of students who would like to use them, and long waiting times for basketball or tennis courts are the result. �‘The Measures Taken’ does justice to Brecht’s viewpoint ’ ' Avoid generally Arts Editor zealots; they humorless.

It’s equally difficult for such a work to avoid being naive and oversimplified. These rules of thumb make Bertolt Brecht’s The Measures Taken, an exemplary production. The current UB Theatre Department’s version, under Saul Elkin’s direction, is especially satisfying. Both play and presentation avoid these pitfalls, doing full justice to an exceptionally provocative and perceptive viewpoint.

Younger, Cornell Law School Myron Taylor Hall, Ithaca, NY 14853 May Day Merely entering the Pfeifer Courtyard Theatre (Lafayette and Hoyt Sts.) gives the feeling of being present at a May Day rally in Red Square. Mitchell Bogard’s set is dominated by a mammoth red “The Measures Taken” banner, flanked by icons photos of Brecht’s appearance before the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1947, where he testified about this play; his testimony is the first thing we hear. The form of Measures is an explanation by four Russian Communist agitators to their comrades the “Control Chorus” of their murder of a Young Comrade. The four offer to illustrate the events leading up to it but totally neutrally: “We shall repeat what was said.” The Young Comrade, played at different times by each of the four Agitators, is earnest: “My heart beats for the Revolution.” But her concern is for practicalities machines, food, seed to plant, all of which her village needs while her visitors’ aim is solely to enlist her aid in of spreading “the ABC Communism.” Their propagandizing mission to China is shown in episodes of striking imagery: the “blotting out” of the Agitators’ identities by their superior; rice barge coolies straining like Sisphus ate endless, killing toil; merchants at a hedonist Last Supper, who sing of the coolies they employ in “The Song of the Merchandise.” And always, the Young Comrade’s concern for human needs removes the mask with which she was “blotted out” and reveals her, thus making her ineffective. — — — — devoured her We returned to our work. But the picture Brecht draws is hardly as smoothly logical. His Party is ostensibly out to improve the lot of the downtrodden, but its main concern is slavish adherence to dogma and procedure. The rules it’s drawn up blind it to the real state of the game: the Control Chorus sings, “Do not see with your own eyes; the Party has a thousand eyes.” But that Chorus, in an effective touch, all wear dark glasses. They discuss events with the smugness of hindsight, finding reasons for the Comrade’s failures in Party doctrine; all the discussions end with “We agree to that.” The tone of the play, of the Agitators and Chorus, of the entire Weltschmerz is as cold and , relentless as a glacier. What it issues most strongly is a warning of the dangers of offering unswerving alliance to anyone or anything: a theory, a group, yourself. You may be called upon to confirm it and “measures” may be taken. Elkin’s productions have always been notable for their use of a cast as a sympathetic ensemble, and this is no exception. Their quality is uneven, but generally high; to single out one would be to slight all. Brecht’s spare, chiseled verse comes across with its full impact, in both speech and singing; musical director Ray Leslee and choral director Lucia Beck are responsible for the latter. The Measures Taken continues tonight thru Sunday at 8 p.m. in the Pfeifer Courtyard Theatre.

Our history is one never-ending weh of humiliation, oppression and pogrom. Across the lives of our grandparents the infamous Beilis trial was smeared like a black thundercloud. Across the days of our fathers was the awful nightmare of the notorious arrests of the so-called “Doctors’ Plot.” And now in our times there has been upon us the preparations for a new trial, the trial of Jewish “spies,” recalling the notorious trial of the so-called “spy and traitor” Greetings Dreyfus. During the last few months, we have seen an escalation in the growing stream of harassments against Jews: beatings in the woods outside Moscow, mass arrests for 15 days, the suppression of the planned symposium on Jewish culture, the renewal of the threat of trial against the editors of the magazine Jews in the USSR, intimidation in all provincial towns, the trial and sentence to three years of Amner Zavurov in Uzbekistan, the arrest of Dr. Yosef Begun in Moscow, the case in preparation against Dr. Naum Salansky in Vilnius, and now the monstrous accusations in the columns of the newspaper Izvestia. On the surface, only a small part of the rupting volcano can yet be seen. All the rest is inside, hidden, concealed from view. What is being cooked up down there in the depths is as yet unknown to us, but we shall no doubt very soon feel it, and experience the full effects of the depth of the anti-Jewish prejudice being stirred up to vomit forth from the mouth of the volcano. Today, it is an accusation of spying and treason in the newspaper. From there, it is not far to a dreadful trial. Already, all around us, we can hear the echos and murmurs of this anti-Jewish feeling in the streets, the shops, the buses, the metro, the schools where our children are pupils. Yesterday, it was only the refuseniks under threat. Today, it is every Jew in the Soviet Union who is a potential victim for sacrifice. At this serious and dangerous moment in our lives we want you to know that no treachery, threat, slander or libel can intimidate us. We shall continue With the fight for our freedom because we know that you are with us. We shall do everything in our power to restore and maintain the honor and dignity of our The Jewish People live! people.

But Saturday's Especially when you don't do it half as well as your evening concert was probably the best single folk straightforward bluegrass? (Then again, "progressive concert I've seen in Buffalo, without a single sour bluegrass" is anything that Flatt and Scruggs or Bill note to spoil the harmony. Monroe never recorded.) "Love Is A Rose," though, sounded lovely with the rock taken out of it, and "Lady Be Good" sounded downright devilish when The legendary Tom Paxton, who's been writing fine songs for some fifteen years without running out of things to — say or new ways to say them, certainly qualifies as a legend. He hasn't lost his surgeon's skill for finding the pulse of a people's heart, nor his surgeon's scalpel for slicing the absurd to ribbons. (Paxton's comment on Gary Gilmore's stardom: a cuttingly joyous ditty called "Bring Back The Chair.") His recasting of the story of crippled veteran Ron Kovic ("Born On The Fourth Of July") showed that topical songs can still be powerful without being mawkish. But the moment was when the generation that was brought up on his "lesson too late for the learning" joined in on "The Last Thing On My Mind," with the reverence due the creator of a perfect song. But legends must die, sadly.

"You can't really cover 'Music of the British Isles' in an* hour . it's absurd." Despite, that comment by Robin Morton of the Boys of the . . Lough at Saturday afternoon's British Isles Workshop, the Boys, along with Britons John Roberts and Tony Barrand, came close to doing so in their brief sets, that night. The Boys served up what they're famous for: the excitement of Irish, Scottish, and Shetland dance music; the beauty of the songs of the Isles (Cathal McConnel's version of "The Red-Haired-Man's Wife" was breathtaking), and, to finish with the proverbial bang, their tour de force recreation of the hunt, "The Hound and the Hare" (All of which no one does better, on either side of the ocean.) Before Tony and John were through, they'd patiently taught English Morris dancing to a workshop full of neophytes, delved into the history of whaling and sailing, sung about Cumberton Parish, (which sold the church Bible to buy a pet bear), did some clogging themselves, and generally gave everyone a fair share of what the British call "Good crack." captivates audience with totally spectacular concert by Stephen Brieff Spectrum Music Staff Last Saturday, April 16, at the Shea's Buffalo Theatre, Janis lan came as close to perfection as a performer can get, putting on a totally spectacular concert. Opening with "When The Party's Ovfer" from her Between the Lines album, she proceeded to completely captivate her audience and hold them in a trancelike state for close to two hours of solid music. Her backup band was in their usual top form, providing the perfect complement for Ian's clear and powerful vocals. This band seems to have reached an artistic peak with Ian's latest album. Miracle Row, and in concert they more than proved their musical expertise. Barry Lazarowitz, to/ho's been Janis Ian's drummer for the last several years has really blossomed into one of rock's premier drummers. His uncanny ability to change in style from slow ballads to medium tempo numbers to rockers has added to the Janis Ian "sound" immeasurably. In concert his drumming was superior, making it look effortless, giving significant drive and inspiration to the group, and standing out on the up-tempo numbers. Recent material Dueling ballads ■l Janis lan There was a nice interchange, unplanned, when Margaret MacArthur, who sings to an audience as sweetly as she does to the Vermont hills of her home, contributed "Reynardine" to a ballad workshop. That evening, Tony and John sang their own version of the ballad. Margaret responded with "The Ballad of Robban's First Ride," Malvina Reynolds' song about a baby actually born in the back of John's car touche! Michael Cooney finally got his perfect tag from Barrand, who introduced him as "the one-man Pete Seeger." He recovered enough equilibrium to offer the surprise of the night "a song I've been looking for fbr years; T even bought the sheet music." The mysterious song: "Me and My Shadow." That's why we need a Michael Cooney, to remind us of the joys of music the rest of us have forgetten. And that lesson is never too late for the learning. If one hadn't known that Charlie Maguire's been a frequent visitor to Buffalo, it was evident when he did a shantey-ish song, with a chorus of "Oh, cold and misery" and then announced, "This is about trying to get a car started." But if you'd previously heard him sing his song about "a pint-size i.e. a midget cigar-smoking' truck-drivin' man" you'd surely have remembered the truck driver quality of his music. Neither is it easy to forget the ballads and the voice of Lisa Null, who's also been welcomed ofter hereabouts, or how well they blend with Bill Schutt's singing and guitar. — — Janis Ian chose to concentrate primarily on material from her latest album. Miracle Rovy and Between The Lines. Her rendition of "In The Winter," coming somewhat earlier in the show than expected, was breathtaking. Janis, playing piano dramaticaly, poured her heart out and cried: "In the winter. Extra blankets for the cold/fix the heater, getting old/ You are with her now, I know/ I'll' live alone forever/ Not together now." The Miracle Row numbers were much more complex and experimental in nature. In addition to the increased use of the rhythm section, with more focus on the bass and drumming, Ian sheds her acoustic guitar and impressively utilizes an electric guitar, adding another dimension to her repertoire. Her electric work, though not as loud as one would expect from a Led Zeppelin, was very smooth and rhythmic, and completely spontaneous. —continued on page 10 — — harp pieces; and he sang a marvelous, loony song that could've been written by Monty Python and The Skillet Lickers, where someone whose "mouth is full of tongue" watches a church burn up, saying "Holy Smoke!" Thanking the audience for singing with him, he told them "Pocahontas County would be proud of you;" it'd be equally proud of seeing him make everyone so happy. Pricilla Herdman moves her listeners in quieter, more profound ways. Her clear, strong voice is a rare thing in itself. But Pricilla sings with total honesty, caring more about the song than herself and that's what a song needs to change from a pretty piece of music to a true offering from one heart to another. She sings only what she means, and she means all she - — — Heroes Of course, any festival owes its success or failure ulitimately to the musici&ns, the audience,in this case also to the craftspeople who exhibited their work.

Tony Barrand's response: "I don't really play my nose I just pick a little.") And her singing of Alan Vogel's "The Band Played Waltzing Matilda" was one of the most moving statements of the sad waste of war I've ever heard. It was a privilege to hear her. — Family history Janette Carter is history: she's of the same family as A.P., Sara, and Mother Maybelle Carter, She sings with the the first family of country same sad, lonesome sound as Mother Maybelle, and it's artlessly beautiful in the same way. — Circles are a big folkie metaphor, from circles of friends to "Will The Circle Be Unbroken." Sunday, John McCutcheon was calling a square dance, with the Rye Whiskey Fiddlers making it impossible to stand still. John called, "All join hands, circle left" and I realized that we'd all been joining hands all weekend, performers, workers, and listeners . . . and what was left was a circle. And when the dance, the afternoon, and the festival were over, there was no caller, no perfbrrtfers'/fio audience just a bunch of friends on the Squire Hall lawn, in the waning light of Sunday afternoon, playing in a circle. —Bill Maraschiello Page eight . The Spectrum Friday, 22 April 1977 . — — Prodigal Sun �Advertisement Th> Commuter Viewpoint Century Theater by Rick Birdsall and Cheryl McNerney As you may or may not have noticed this column has not appeared in many moons. (We had a hard time writing after being called The Village Idiots" by another Idiot of an anonymous nature who felt it necessary to use a fake name "M. Bork" in a letter to The Spectrum. It's not that we thought all of "Bork's" criticisms were wrong, many were valid, but we prefer to face our critics and present our side. We invite "Bork" to come up to the SA office to talk with us.) Actually we did get quite busy in the last few weeks and found it, impossible to write this column. So now we have several different things to comment on. - - COMMUTER DAY Commuter Day, an annual event around UB, is being held today, Fri., April 22. First on the agenda is another in the highly successful series of Commuter Breakfasts. As usual all beverages (coffee, tea, etc.) will be free and doughnuts will cost 10 cents. It will run from 8 a.m. to 12 noon in the Fillmore Room. At noon a magic show, El Martine, will be presented in Squire (Norton) 231. Free coffee, cider, and doughnuts will be served. This is being sponsored by Norton Hall Division (special thanks to Norton House Council Chairman Dave Shapiro well we couldn't work your name in on the posters so we put you in the column. Of course woros or praise from the Village Idiots may ruin your future and your reputation.) — Later on a Groucho Marx movie, Copacabana, will be in Gallery 219 on the second floor of Morton (near the Commuter Ride Board a little plug.) The movie features Groucho as a theatrical agent who makes a bizarre deal with his client. Carmen Miranda, to star as two persons in a nightclub act. The dancing Copa Girls" are featured in plush surroundings. The typically strange scenes, characteristic of Groucho, are here too. A must for the hard core Groucho fans. Commuter Day ends with a disco starting at 8;30 p.m. in the Fillmore Room. The usual disco favorites will be played and one of the local disc jockeys from WYSL will be there. There will also be reduced prices for beer and wine for the drinkers (like us). (At the time ot this writing we are not sure of prices but last time beer was 15 cents and it should be around that this time.) presented — REGISTRATION The semester is finally grinding to a halt but before your mind wanders to thoughts of Summer Vacation and final exams (lists of exams schedules will be posted around campus on Mon., April 25 according to rumors we've heard) there is still one dnnoying task REGISTRATION. Registration for Summer and to perform Fall is as follows: Summer: Continuous registration from Aprit.11 at Admissions and Records, Hayes B.

Fall Schedule cards will be mailed the week of August 15. Advance Drop and Add period will run from August 20-Sept. 2. Classes start on Sept. 7. Nils Lofgren is a punk guitarist with distinction by Tim Switala Spectrum Music Staff There are punk guitarists and there are punk and then there is Nils Lofgren. The distinction is imperative. Lofgren's talents extend beyond those of the simplistic, reactionary rockers who have been perverted into "iconic punks" by a hype-movement known as "punk rock." Way guitarists beyond. If anyone, Lofgren is the archetypal punk guitarist; disciplined, energized and so complex that when it comes to possessing a capacity for rock n' ( roll, pure gutsy motivation of an audience, a Ramone couldn't touch him with a ten-foot Stratocaster. So, when Nils rolled into the Century Theatre Saturday evening as headliner of a triple bill (making it his third appearance in the Buffalo area in less than a year's time), the fans thirsting for pure rock and roll came out in full force to watch Nils dance. And tf|ey weren't disappointed. But first there were some farcical preliminaries on behalf of Harvey and Corky. This concert was named "The First Annual Rites of Spring San Francisco Dance Marathon" (whatever happened to "the series of low-budget concerts?") in honor of the original San Francisco dance marathons where three bands would perform in an evening of continuous, non-stop music. Well, there were three bands there Satuday along with twq typical twenty-minute breaks. Nothing new there. Or how about disco dancing in the Main Street lobby? And to top it all off was this really cool make-belieVe-Woodstock-rock-concert-announcer from Q-FM named Matt Ready who got me really, really psyched up and guaranteed me he was going to have "one mother fucker of a good time." Luckily, there were three good groups playing that night also. Well almost three. .. Journey's superb, sophisticated brand of "art rock" did not go unrecognized; not by the audience, who gave them repeated standing ovations, nor by Nils Lofgren, who was to follow. Homage to keith But was Nils to have the show lifted out from beneath him? Not on your life. With the personnel from the / Came To Dance album accompanying him. Nils broke into his standard tribute to idol Keith Richards, "Keith Don't Go." Sticking with the early material, Nils then followed with a Crazy Horse composition, "Beggar's Day," and the crowd was . — CUTBACKS Once again our not so great Governor is doing his best to destroy the State University system. His latest budget will mean more cuts in services, staff, and more delays in construction. It may also mean higher tuition which none of us want. Ln order to prevent this from happening SASU Delegates Clare Reardon, Jeff Winkler, and Alan Clifford will be starting a letter writing campaign directed at the State Legislature. So if in the next few weeks someone comes up to you in Norton and asks you to write a letter please cooperate. You will not be signing away your first born child, aiding a wierdo radical group, or for you anti-New York City Upstaters you will be comforted to know this is not a "Save New York City" Campaign. It is for the benefit of all students. If you are tired of paying higher tuition for a poorer quality of education then take the few minutes necessary to write your Senator and Assemblyman. BUS TOKENS Perhaps the most successful project the Commuter Council has been involved with this year has been the Bus Token Project. The Bus Token Project enables commuters who take the bus to school tokens for $3.25, a savings of 75 cents. to buy a packet of They have been sold through Norton Ticket Office and are usually sold out within two hours. The Commuter Council has asked for an increase in its allocation for tokens so the Project can be expanded next year. Hopefully the Finance Committee and Financial Assembly will approve the increase. COMMUTER BREAKFASTS Another success story (nothing like patting ourselves on the back) are the commuter breakfasts which are now into their third year. This year's breakfasts, which have been held in the Fillmore Room, have attracted so many people that food and beverages have run out by 10:30 for most of them. (The breakfasts are suppose to run until 12 noon.) As with the Bus Token Project, the Council has asked for an increase allocation to expand the breakfast program.We think their success justifies increasing funds. COME TO COMMUTER DAY, FRI., APRIL 22 in Squire (Norton) Hall. This column is paid for by mandatory student fees through Sub-Board I, Inc. Prodigal Sun Urban rock Kicking off the festivities for the evening was Steve Gibbons, curator of urban rock, who snaked across stage in tight, black leather and toppled microphone stands while posing the age-old questions, "Hey, what's happenin' on the street?" This group's set, centering around dual, high-speed guitar riffing and Gibbon's delivery of lyrics some in song, others in narration, conjured images of every group imaginable with the possible exception of the STeve Gibbons band. "One of the Boys" not only adopts the Mott song title and basic premise (punks in the streets of England), but also wins the award for the best "My Generation" sound-a-like as Gibbons stutters and sputters the rowdy's philosophy. "A Little Spark of Love" blatantly steals the opening hook from Skynyrd's "Freebird." He apparently thinks we're all ignorant. (Better luck next time.) Exit Steve Gibbons. Enter supergroup Journey and the audience approval is astounding. All the telltale signs of professionalism surface as this quartet of highly polished musicians takes to the stage. Their synthesized anthem resounds as a symbolic cloth backdrop unfurls behind them. But is is not until the lights go up, reveali.ng the members' identities, that the notion of supergroup becomes hard core reality. — Amazing journey behind 3/Set of silver snares and lateral cymbals is percussive mainstay Aynsley Dunbar, one of the most brilliant, as well as underrated, drummers in rock music today. His session work with the likes of Zappa, Mayall, Reed, Beck, Bowie and most appropriately, Nils Lofgren, is only to be outdone by his extremely visual live performances; those known to combine flashy showmanship with sheer power. Sitting among the multiple tiers of keyboards is leader Gregg Rolie, the co-founder of Santana, while across stage Neal Schon, another Santana disciple, contributes on guitar. With bassist Ross Valory, Journey is complete and the music begins; immediately bringing the clenched-fist crown to their feet. Their set consisted of a fine cross-section of their three albums, Journey, Look Into The future, and Next, their latest. The highpoints of their performance, however, came from their major success, "Look Into the Future." Selections such as the spacey title cut "Look Into the Future," the timely "On A Saturday Night," and the crowd pleasing "You're On^VourOww'* 1 Neal Schon's dazzling, string-breaking guitar solo) combined the proper elements that were necessary to send the Century's audience right into orbit. already won. Scattered followers cry, "We came to dance" as a frenzied female is carried off stage. The evening of rock and roll has begun. The group Nils is associating with this time has some old, familiar faces as well as some new additions. Brother Tom Lofgren handled the duties of rhythm guitar and organ well, soloing occassionally and sharing harmonies with bassist and long time Lofgren sessionman Wornell Jones. On piano is new addition RV. Patrick Henderson who did a fine job of complementing Nils on some selections while challenging him on others. But probably tlie most important acquisition is drummer Andy Newrhark, the backbone of the Lofgren quintet, whose production on the latest album was able to balance Lofgren's guitar expertise with his abilities as a singer/songwriter. Songs such as "Code of the Road" and especially "To Be A Dreamer" were indicative of this. Reaching the heights. But let it be known that Nils' guitar fire, when during a live performance, is subservient to nothing. And then there's his mobility on stage. £long with his spinning and repetitive leg kicking, the diminutive Lofgren incorporated the use of a mini-trampoline, off which he really "reached fhe heights" that evening. Nils closed his set with an explosive rendition of "Back It Up" that showcased him playing a solo on the guitar with his mouth (a la Jimi Hendrix, his other hero) and then exiting after a final backflip off the trampoline. Needless to say, this was probably Nils' best performance in Buffalo; surpassing those at the Outside Inn and U.B.'s Clark Gym. The best news now is that Lofgren plans to release, as his next album, a live double set featuring the group he is pouring with. If he cherished this last performance half as much as the audience did, you can bet he'll be back again, next time it will be to capture Buffalo on vinyl. Friday, 22 April 1977 The Spectrum Page nine . . �Janis lan Shea's Buffalo —continued from page 8— ... One of the concert's numerous high spots came during the acoustic "Jesse," a song Janis composed before her comeback and one of her most covered tunes. Accompanying herseJ#«« guitar, without the aid of her band, Janis passionately gave WW f"*mber everything her diminutive body could provide, singing pleas to the whispering whimpers that have become her trademark. Throughout the show, the most impressive thing had to be the unexpected power of Ian's vocals. Having already seen her previously, I had come prepared for the soft, quiet sounding vocals that predominate her records. But something has definitely happened to Ian's vocal quality. Either she's been taking good voice lessons, which I doubt, or it's just a conscious effort on her part; but her vocals were nothing less than awe-inspiring. Sitting in the theatre, intently watching her, I was totally mesmerized by the incredible power and force Janis combined vocally with her natural innocence and passivity. Well-deserved encores Rounding out the show as Ian's recent million seller, "At Seventeen." Called back for not one, but two, well-deserved encores, Janis performed "I Would Like To Dance," "Boy I Really Tied One On" (both from Aftertones), a surprising traditional folk tune, and "Watercolors," perhaps Ian's finest composition to date. Coming out for "Watercolors" alone on acoustic guitar, Ian proceeded to sing this lyrically powerful song, with all the experience of the battered and desperately heartbroken lover she wrote about; "Go on be a hero, be a man Make your own destiny if you can Go find a fence Locate a shell and hide yourself. Go on, go to hell Go away from me, / need no charity /' One thing that must be mentioned besides the rest of her excellent band, is co-vocalist and percussionist Clair Bay. Ms. Bay has sung with Janis throughout her comeback, and in concert provided beautiful harmonies to most of the numbers. Claire possesses an enormous vocal range and easily adapts herself to every type of song Janis peforms. Rounding out the band are Stu Woods, an incredibly soulful bassist, and Jeff Layton on lead guitar, again another extremely accomplished musician. Woods is one of the biggest factors behind the huge success Ian is having with her rock numbers, while Layton makes his presence felt on just about everything on a phenomenal performance. It was the ingenously gifted artist, with perfect an performance accompaniment utilizing all her resources and abilities. Janis Ian put of Dave Mason pleases crowd with acoustic performance by Barbara Kbmansky' Spectrum Music Staff Like_ his friend and occasional singer Graham Nash, Dave Mason has become one totally Briton with a Americanized image. After his departure from Traffic, a major contributor to the sixties' British invasion of the U.S., Mason emigrated to a musical aggregate that included most of the Los Angeles area's finest. He was called upon frequently to add his electric guitar to the works of Crosby, Stills and Nash, Rita Coolidge and others. He also developed an extensive musical partnership with the late Cass Elliot of the Mamas and the Papas, a cornerstone of the house populated by all the California dreamers. Although his concerts were usually received fairly well, after several albums an element of sameness began to pervade both the live and studio work of Mason especially the performances. There are only so many different ways to play "Peelin' Alright" and "Only You Know And I Know." The tropical flavor of "Split Coconut" provided brief respite, but even that tour was rather repetitious. What's an artist to do? The solution was fairly obvious: find a musical outlet that captures the basic? feel of onw's work, but back-up — maintain most of what you to keep the customer satisfied. In Mason's case, this sinply involved Fender the unplugging any. substituting and Stratocaster of seven scoustic guitars Mason brought with him to Shea's that Friday night. It wasn't an overwhelming change, but served very well in restoring some of the power that had been slipping from Mason's musical grasp. evening. Even the songs recorded with a full band on past albums did not seem remiss. For example, "Only You Know And I Know" sounded fresher at this concert than it had in a tong time. The only song that really didn't work in this format was "Feel in' Alright." The lack of drums was definitely felt. "Bring It On Home" would have been much more effective here, and that song was left out of the performance. Splendid acoustics Although this was not a totally performance from Most of Mason's standards innovative were released on the now-classic Mason, it was a pleasond change Alone Together album. From from his usual rehash of every there he chose his opener, "Just A previous concert. Now, if only he Song." It was performed very could do it electric also simply on a twelve string, and the impact was impressive. Shea's Emotive quality Buffalo is certainly one of the Now, Jennifer Warnes best concert halls I have ever been in. The acoustics are a cut above Forget that single you hear all the usual screamatoriums time on the car radio! She did sing the rock that, but every other one of her today's for provided musicians.

The immediate cradled that guitar in his arms just comparison is with Linda Ronstadt, because of the staying like a baby. power of her vocals.

Simon J. Ortiz, Going For the Rain, (Harper & Row, IM.Y. 112 ppg., $2.50) One wonders, "Who is that?" always moving away from me on the street, through the car window, who I'm always moving away from from the edge of the landfall at the moving ocean slumped in a molded plastic seat in a Greyhound station through the tinted windows often alone and brown-bagged, warving the intricate steps way from and back to some self on a rainy eastern or bright white southwestern sidewalk, hazy mountains far off moving into and away from them on the edges of the/ white world, shootin the shit or some dice rollin into another American town in the back of a friendly pickup beneath the burnt and beautiful sunsets, in the cabs of gear-jammin semi's in the crisp definite mornings And the plain, enormous love that gets you through the day. Here is a map by Simon Ortiz a track of the light inside and out of his head, who he's known, alive .and dead and how he meefs them — "chid you don't ever want to go — — / but do anyway" of A map of eight years coming and going for it preparing and starting out and returning and tuning yourself and the world and preparing to set it out again, through "Time and Motion and Space" — ...

Where we were always is where we are who we talk to as we listen. Now is the springtime come to a land long frozen and "workin at night gets dangerous 'cause all the crazies are back on the street" leanin there, relying on their twisted presence, saquaro inside and out of the city. Slowly things loosen up, sap, blood and rivers run, daylight lingers so there's more night to get lost into more "time" to see things, to be out among them, alongside the road, sitting and watching and walking and singing along with ourselves. We are still here. Some may be gone but there are more of us. "Who is that?" That's one. That's one of us. We are all here with the light and the hunger and the millions of things we are part of. That's the way it is for us, "We are all a long way from home." We make maps and carry them in our eyes. They take us to and through, the dark within the heart's desires, the the dark dream darkness, the dreary darkness comin home poor, dark tomorrows and the darkest mystery of midnight in the iris of an eye. This is the Coyote darkness. Slipping into and out of the varying lights and locales of our common possibility. — — — by the Yuma bus depot wall; a daze in his eyes.

The appreciation comes from the promulgation of instrumental and vocal intricacy. Here, the familiarity joins hands with originality, resulting in success. And the gum-chewing is part of the innovation. Miles tries to carry the response over to songs like "Stranger in the City," "High Fly'n" and "Slow Down." But the audience becomes chary at being manipulated by the band, who force hand-clapping on their unwilling souls. Miles asks for too much too soon and is left with very little.

Billy Cobham's contributions to Solo Two as producer, arranger, composer, and uncredited, but extremely conspicuous, drummer of the session makes this LP as much his as Pete and Sheila Escovedo's. Pete and Sheila play timbales and conga, respectively, and along with their Spanish vocals, the percussion gives this music a strong Salsa feeling. Also featured on this album are former Charles Mingus/Horace Silver sideman, trumpeter Tom Harrell, ex-Herbie Hancock sidemen trombonist Julian Priester and percussionist Bill Summer. The album contains several heated points, sometimes ignited by the added spark of Latin percussion. "Fantasy Cobham's composition Junction" builds some fire as does Milton Nascimento's "Vera Crus." The title should have been "Solo Two plus Billy Cobham" Not a bad album. Fred Wesley and the Horny Horns is another vehicle for the slightly estranged mind of Parliament Funkadelic founder George Clinton. The album contains some crisp horn section writing and some interesting polyrhythmic arrangements for horns and arrangements vocals; which include such tongue-in-cheeks lyrics as RECORDS < The Dave Brubeck Quartet, 25th Anniversary Reunion (A&M) This album, which was recorded on a 1976 reunion tour, is the Dave Brubeck Quartet's 25th Anniversary album. Dave Brubeck and his saxaphonist Paul Desmond met in San Francisco more than 30 years ago. They played dinner music in supper clubs with as many as six other musicians. According to Desmond, Brubeck would play Bartok on his left hand and Milhaud on his right hand while Desmond and the rest of the musicians would screech on their instruments. By 1951, Brubeck and Desmond, (both greatly improved), formed the original Dave Brubeck Quartet with bassist Ron Grotty and drummer-vibraphonist Cal Tjader. Brubeck and Desmond went through many other rhythm sections until Eugene Wright and Joe Morello joined them in 1958. The quartet separated in 1967. During the nine year lapse, the band members remained musically active. Desmond and Brubeck periodically toured and recorded together, Wright formed his own band, and Morello gave drum lessons in New York City. Not surprisingly, this album finds the band members to be more proficient musicians than when they disbanded. Desmond's alto sSx sounds smoother and more lyrical than ever; Brubeck's piano playing seems less heavy handed, with greater emphasis on single note lines than in the past. Similar to the quartet's other albums, this album is composed of syncopated jazz pieces which were influenced by many styles of music. "St. Louis Blues," the albums opener, is a widely performed jazz/blues song. In this recording, Brubeck solos; playing heavy, disjointed chords first, then by playing lyrical note lines. "African Time Suite" features Munchies for your love Eugene Wright bowing and plucking his bass. The song is based on Between two sheets (Chora! response) traditional African folk tunes. "Salute to Stephen Foster" contains an Up for the down stroke improvised medley of that 19th Century American composer's songs. Between two sheets (Choral response) "Take Five," the Paul Desmond classic which appears on the Time We love to funk you funky style Out album, is redone on this album's second side. When it was Between two sheets (Chora! resonse) originally recorded, Brubeck kept a constant vamp on his piano throughout the whole song because it was written in an unconventional So on and so forth. Or how about time signature which the musicians found difficult playing. Because of Join the graveyard this, the original recording sounds very structured. This time around, (now Do the funky graveyard the band is accustomed to the unconventional time signature a Quartet Join the graveyard Trademark). Brubeck is free to improvise when he is Brubeck Request the of the funky ghost not playing the vamp during other musician's improvisations. The result is a sophisticated, more complex rendition of the song. "Three To Get Ready and Four To Go" is another song originally Etcetera and etcetera This is an album worth hearing, but not an recorded on Time Out. In this version, Paul Desmond improvises melody lines from well-known songs during the stops in the song's album worth buying. "Give us the funk," Front Money i$ a formula funk-jazz album from rhythm. At first, it seems strange to hear the first notes of a familiar tune come flowing from his horn, yet, Desmond is able to connect the David "Fathead" Newman. Lay down' a repititious bass line under an electric piano or guitar going individual melodies into the song's distinct integrity. "Don't Worry About Mee" is the album's finale. Here, Desmond's wah-wah-wah and you have formula funk-jazz. There is some decent stuff here, like Newman's palying is unusually melancholic. The song reminds me of showtune alto solo on "Still Hard," where he seems to get it music, but played with feeling. So The 25th Anniversary Reunion was somewhat successful. Perhaps up, a little bit. The same applies to "So Fine Fine." this album finds the band members old, greying, and less energetic, but Front Money places near the bottom of my list. the musicianship on this album overwhelms thos small disadvantages. —Alan Mark Strauber Because Joe Morello has recently gone blind, this will probably be the last professional recording for the Quartet.

The major record companies didn't feel that his music would sell and he was not about t6 change his style of music to suit them. He cut a highly overlooked debut album on the Atlantic label a few years back and followed that up with the single "Wild In The Streets." The single did manage to make it to the local charts but didn't stay up there for too long. For five years he has been struggling in various clubs on the East Coast and now has finally produced a long overdue album which is quickly gaining recognition and is deserving of much praise. Jeffreys, along with a seven piece band, will by touring this spring to promote "Ghost Writer." The album succeeds in that it creates a fusion of hard-core rock, azz, and reggae, without sounding at all disjointed. It is the synthesis of these different sytles that gives the album it's unique texture. Instrumental backing is supplied by some of the best musicians around Hugh Me Cracken and Alan Freedman both play electric guitar, Al Cohn plays tenor sax, and David Spinozza on the slide to name but a few. "Special magic" is contributed by Winston Grennan on drums and Earl "Wire" Lindo on keyboards (both played with Bob Marley on his First U.S. tour.) Jeffreys' voice is a versatile instrument in itself. In "Wild In The Streets" and some of the other hard rock numbers he sounds remarkably like Mike Jagger that same harsh yet seductive quality. In Dther numbers the Carribean influence predominates and he sounds ike a genuine "Latino."

Thad's influence is definitely present; as composer of three of the seven tracks and as musical supervison, but Mel Lewis is the solid rock of rhythm that holds this small ensemble session together. "Ain't Nothin' Nu" storms open side one, encompassing long, powerful lines of tenor sax by Brecker Brother Michael Brecker. The rhythm section, propelled by Lewis, bassist Ron Carter, and the piano of Thad's brother, Hank, supports strong solos including one by trumpeter Freddie Hubbard (who says Hubbard can't play anymore?). Hubbard delicately develops Thad's beautiful ballad "A Child Is Born" in a quartet context. To quote the liner notes, "freddie is a musician jiven to a lot of musical horsing around, but not here. Thad was in the :ontrol booth all during the recording of this LP and it could very well je that 'being around Thad made Freddie a little more serious, [specially on this tune'." Charlie Parker's "Moose the Mooche" is taken for an accelerated ide as*Lewis lays down solid fhythm whole Carter winds his long bass ound around the beat. Freddie's fingers fly, as do those of Brecker and fank Jones. Carter's memorable minor/major composition "De lamba" is given the brass treatment and evokes inspired solos from all ivolved. "Windflower," performed as a trio, features Carter's gliding lass slides and sedately swinging solo by Jonas. "Sho' Nutt Did," penned by Thad the day before the session, with some patented Ron Carter bass walk and heads into a no ullshit blues. Hubbard builds his solo from a three note motif used by Ito saxist Gregory Herbert, as Brecker ensures with a soaring tenor alo, transcribed note for note inside the cover of the album. I hope it doesn't take Mel Lewis another eighteen years to record Ks next solo LP, and I hope it's as fine as this one. —Alan Mark Strauber ... [pens •odigal Sun Abba, Arrival (Atlantic) Bread, Lost Without Your Love (Elektra) Although it is pnly four months old it appears* that 1977 is not going to be an exceptionally prolific year for pop music, so far, the only two recordings of this genre to receive any attention have been Abba's Arrival and Bread's Lost Without Your Love, which were both released early in January. Nothing of any importance has been issued in theiinterim, so it is time to give these two albums some belated Both deserve consideration for very different reasons. Abba has been very popular in Europe for the past three years (or more) but, until now, has gained relatively mild acceptance on this side of the Atlantic. The release of "Dancing Queen" aspired to change all this. That song has crept steadily up the charts to the No. 1 spot, and is now only starting to go down. Arrival from which the song was taken, is by fgr the group's best selling album. To say that Abba is knocking on the doors of superstardom would no longer be irrational. With Bread, the story is almost the opposite, BI6ssed with instant success when they first entered commercial music in 1970, they continued to bean important MOR mustical force of the early seventies. Within three years their success started to wane, and the group fragmented as David Gates and James Griffin departed for solo careers. The efforts of both musicians proved to be abortive, so now, two years later, Bread has re-formed. Lost Without Your Love is their first recording. Bread surprised many critics when their single did very well on the charts for it was quite similar to what they had been doing prior to their demise. The LP did not do so well. As is so often the case, the single was the best thing off the album, and it didn't take those who bought the album long to realize this Despite its success, "Lost Without Your Love" has many flaws, and they point to one of the album's main defects. Leader/composer David Gates has written some very pleasant songs, but he doesn't have any idea of what to do with them. "Lest Without Your Love" starts out with a delicate piano/vocal introduction, then builds nicely into an ballad reminiscent of the MOR-pop styled "Goodbye To Love." In fact, it is almost Carpenters' too reminiscent, for about midway through the inappropriate electric entirely Gates inserts an song, break, which ruins an otherwise fine effort. guitar guitar way the same that the electric (In much Love.") ruined "Goodbye To Another area where Gates fails is in lyric writing. Admittedly, he was never fantastic with words, but this time his lack of talent is more obvious than ever. The images of LWYL are the essentially shallow, saccharine and sufburban housewife, type that might enthrall a midwestern but would sound ridiculous to other listeners with more intelligence. , , - I lay awake the whole night long and wondered was wrong But when you woke and touched my face ■» I knew that I belonged Belonging to someone I find is very necessary The load is lighter on your mind When someone helps to carry. / — David Gates is not the only songwriter on this album, so he is not entirely responsible for its failure. About half the &ngs were written by band member James Griffen with the help of Robb Royer, and they, if anything, are much worse than Gates ever could be. While Gates' compositions have some sense of delicacy and finess, those by Griffen/Royer are about as subtle as the average disco song, and about as appealing. Their awkwardness is enhanced by the contrived arrangements, most laden with soft guitar strumming and cotton candy strings. "Fly Away" is about the only bearable fragment of this mess, mainly because of David Gates' fine vocal assistance on the choruses. Despite its many faults, it would still be unfair to characterize this album as a forgettable and unsuccessful effort. Lost Without Your Love simply has a very limited appeal; hopefully, Bread will do better next time. As an expression of all the good points of pop, Abba's Arrival meets with much more success. Consisting of ten songs, each one having the potential to become an AM hit, the album should be a delight to those who don't think pop music should be reserved for 13 year olds, as well as to the 13 year olds themselves. Although it is an Abba album. Arrival distinguishes itself from their earlier efforts in a number of ways. Most important, though not most noticeable, is the loss of energy from between their last album and this one. Nothing here has the straightforward drive of "Waterloo" or "Mama Mia"; the songs are more sedate, more refined. Nevertheless, they retain a certain freshness which prevents any part of the album from becoming - boring. There is another, more superficial change. Abba had grown with the times, and consequently the disco beat is a trademark of many of the songs, particularly "That's Me" and the highly successful "Dancing Queen." In spite of this, there aren't any actual disco songs on Arrival all of them are pop material, with the disco trappings added only for a broader, more commercial appeal. In the areas where Bread failed, Abba succeeds magnificently. Arrival is professionally produced, and extremely suggestive of Phil Specter's work at times. The songs themselves are well written and quite varied, yet cohesive enough to prevent the album from sounding diseonnected. Even the lyrics, with the exception of a few bad rhymes ("And you're only smiling/ when you play your violin.") and childish pretensions, are far from cliched and sometimes almost facinating. ; Everybody screamed when kissed the teacher / Leaning over me He was trying to explain the laws of geometry And / couldn't help it / just had to kiss the teacher. With all its assets. Arrival still has one major flaw: an atmosphere of superficiality that seems to be a part of most pop LP's these days. While it does not lessen the enjoyment of listening to this album, ..it. is fortunate that not too many other bands have latched onto Abba's style; filling the airwaves with Abba sound-alikes would make AM radio even more of a wasteland than it is already. —Eugene Zielinski Friday, 22 April 1977 The Spectrum Page seventeen . . �Now comes Miller time. || iP; p* © 1977 Miller Brewing Co .

Why do utility companies support nuclear power in spite of the bleak financial outlook? The answer is a complex one. The companies have a large amount of capital tied up in the future of nuclear power. Also, electricity rates to consumers are based on the utility’s fixed costs or base rate. Since nuclear power carries much larger base rates, utilities can charge higher rates and reap higher profits, say. critics “Utilities have an incentive to support the most expensive sources,” Resnikoff said. him.” j Chivalry is alive and flourishing in Freeport.

Marriage is regarded as unnecessary. “Why do you need to be married if you already have each other?” asked Kisses.

Cars glide at 25-30 miles an hour and it often takes an hour to have your dinner prepared at a local restaurant.* During our first few days, we came to the conclusion that many of the natives had to be constantly stoned. The young people working at the hotels and' restaurants were always laughing and telling stories, joking amongst themselves and with us. We were frequently offered nights on the town and tours of the island by the natives who wanted to make sure we were having a good time. Later I began to think that it might be a natural high they were on. Why not? Each day there is more all things are done in good time sunny and sparkling than the last and there are always new and interesting people with whom to talk. “1 love my job,” said our waitress one night. “A few times customers have been nasty to me and the manager has asked them to leave.” The truth seems to be that the high spirits of the natives are often a combination of the take-it-easy atmosphere and the effects of marijuana. Band members all seem to be floating away with their music. “We usually smoke up before a show,” a lead guitarist later revealed. “But even when we don’t, we get high because the people are digging it and we love to make people happy with our music.” He also spoke of large, privately owned marijuana fields on the island, which are manned with armed guards. “Sure, the government knows about it,” he said, “but they are paid off to look the other way.” Cocaine is also readily available.

In the two mile run the Bulls produced another sweep. This time it was Fischer who led the Bulls home in 10:08.

Lacrosse club opens home season with win Buffalo’s lacrosse club opened up their home schedule this week with an impressive 9-8 overtime victory over Monroe Community College. Monroe greeted the host Bulls with three quick unanswered goals in the first period. At that point, the sticksters chances seemed dim. But just before the period ended, Frank Massaro scored the Bulls’ opening goal. The second period left the Bulls still down 4-2 despite Kenny Cohen’s lone goal of the day. Behind third period goals by Rolland Garrow and Jack Simon, Buffalo’s stickhandlers rallied to make the score 5-4, in favor of the visitors. With the tension running high, Massaro scored his second goal of the day, Monroe scored twice and then Steve Hackling added two more jo tie the game at seven apiece, sending the contest into overtime. Comeback in overtime Once in overtime, M.C.C. drew first blood with a dough hard-fought goal. But shortly thereafter, Garrow retaliated by tying the game. With time almost expired, havoc broke loose on the Buffalo bench when senior Rich Morgan bulleted a shot past the Monroe goalie, thus providing the Bulls with their first victory of the season. Coach Perry Hanson was very pleased with the team’s performance. Hanson had wanted to win this game quite badly. Last year the Bulls suffered a 4-2 defeat at the hands of Monroe and he viewed the rematch as a “revenge game.” Although the win was characterized as “a total team effort,” there were four Buffalo standouts. Unquestionably, the stickhandler of the game was Massaro who tallied two goals and two assists. Likewise, gamewinner Morgan hustled extremely well to insure the victory. Goalie George Talboys played a superb game inside the net. He stopped key shots especially when the Bulls were playing in their man-down defense (i.e., when Buffalo had one player less than Monroe because of a penalty). Leading that shorthanded defense was the sticksters Larry Leva.

LaPenna added that the opening match against Ithaca and the SUNY Tournament are always tough matches. “All of these teams hurt us in the fall,” he said. The outlook for the Bulls can be described as guarded optimism. The team is hopeful that it can play up to its potential, and improvement is expected.

Rubin Unc. Sub Special Features Editor ■ — Jpgk rif* i V : Last Thursday, the Sub Board I Board of Directors approved the purchase of a Burroughs B7000 mini computer for automating Sub Board operations. Sub Board is the disbursing agent of student activity fee monies for this University’s student governments. Its divisions include University Union Activites Board (UUAB), campus publications like The Spectrum and such health care programs as the Pregnancy Counseling Office. by Jlene Schweitzer and Beth Levine ' v M President Robert Ketter will make public his final decisions next week. The Colleges being reviewed are Vico, Rachel Carson, Math Sciences, and College H. A Vico College spokesman indicated that the draft of its Charter was revised to attain a higher educational level before being submitted to the Division of Undergraduate Education for approval. 1 here has not been much controversy surrounding the College chartering this year, and several Colleges refused to comment on their positions since they do not want to jeopardize their reappointment, nor express negative feelings. Many of the more controversial Colleges will not be reviewed until next year. The College Chartering Committee evaluates all existing Collegiate units to prove their academic legitimacy. According to the Reichert Prospectus (the Colleges’ constitution passed by the Faculty Senate in 1974), each existing Collegiate unit must submit a Charter demonstrating academic legitimacy or cease to exist. 4 ' /*■■> ;' wnnYi&r . s'*rty.-,h--.U * ■*** «*l The cost of the system will be $12,332 per year for five years, with an additional outlay of $15,000 In the first year, but Administrative Division Executive Director Tom VanNortwick said that buying the computer “was, in effect, no different than hiring another person anyway to meet increased accounting demands being made on Sub Board. VanNortwick feels that the new system was inevitable. He said that Sub Board’s auditors, the firm of Haskins and Sells, told him that it was just a matter of time before Sub Board would have to automate. Other advantages of the new to system, according VanNortwick, include its for possibilities expanded its backup operations and processing capabilities. With the new computer. Sub Board could conceivably take over the accounting functions for an organization like Inter-Residence Council Businesses (IRCB). "We won’t be . as dependent on individuals which we now really are. If one of our staff got run over by a truck tomorrow we’d all suffer,” explained VanNortwick. - About the decision to purchase the Burroughs computer as to another model. opposed VanNortwick sand, “We took a piece of equipment, which aside from being the cheapest, has the greatest capability.” He explained that after anaylzing bids from IBM and Digital. Burroughs offered the cheapest price and a hardware system especially for educational designed organizations like Sub Board. VanNortwick also pointed out that the Burroughs plan is a lease-purchase agreement, which means after five years Sub Board will own the software. Plus.

Sub Board tightens What this means for the Student undergraduate Association fSA) is that Sub Board will now be able to receive and disburse funds with greater speed, and Sub Board itself will be a much lighter organization^ Skimming off the top Currently. SA pays five percent of its disbursements (about SbOO.OOO) as a fee to Sub Board. Lalonde proposed increasing this rate which has been stable for three years, to 5.b percent. Bui VanNortwick said he would rather facilities for two types of input the classic, on-line keyboard input, and an Audit hntiy cassette device which is intended for off-line data collection. These two distinct methods of access to the computer will make Sub Board more organized and under better internal control since different people will handle the different forms of input. Additionally, large profits undertaken by Sub Board, such as the preparation of financial statements for SA and for Sub Board itself, will not hog the computer since there are two locations for inputting data. The only cost to SA could evolve from the slightly increased cost of the computer over manual labor (about SI600).

The salvage value of Sub Board’s Burrough’s L5000, currently in use, will also help. If there is any additional difference, Sub Board might consider going outside SA to a local bank for a loan. In any case. VanNortwick pointed out, at the end of five years. Sub Board will own the software which he feels will still be worth at least SI5,000, “And in the sixth year." he added, “we have It for free." Twelve voters The Colleges Curriculum Committee evaluates the Charters of each College and.emplys the following criteria in determining academic legitmacy: relevance of the proposed courses to the College’s program; propriety of the instructors' experience in scholarly or practical fields which demonstrates confidence to teach the proposed course; avoiding duplication of another course in the College or any other unit of the University; and considerations of students’ needs and requests. According to The Reichert Prospectus, there are twelve regular voting members on the Committee including six faculty members designated by the Faculty Senate Executive Committee, one member from the Academic Affairs Council, two undergraduate students to be chosen by the Student Association (SA), one graduate student to be chosen by the Graduate- Student Association (GSA), and two members designated by the College Council. In addition, there- will be six non-voting unofficial members of the Committee who may submit reports. I he responsibilities of the College Chartering Committee review all charters proposed are to and makerecommendations to Dean of the Colleges Irving Spitzberg. This review will be conducted during the academic year in Sign or reject the its Chartering Committee makes A l td recommendations, all charter proposals will be considered by Spitzberg, Dean of Undergraduate Studies and the Vice . President tor Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn for independent recommendations to Ketter. On the basis of all evidence available Ketter will sign or reject each charter. Aspiring new Colleges must begin as Workshops and serve in that capacity for a minimum of one semester before they may be considered by the Chartering Committee for full collegiate status. The Workshop program is specifically designed to facilitate the development of new programs. Such programs in their initial stages may not necessarily have defined goals, gathered significant student or faculty interest, or concrete plans, but may need funds for working out ideas. If a Workshop is not granted a College Charter, it may exist as a non-credit Workshop and apply again for chartering as a College after one to three semesters. �I ' Commentary Student Aides Needed For A first-hand account of a 1977 My interest in Africa was greatly stimulated by L. Gray Cowan, former chairman of the Department of African Studies at Columbia University when I was working in the Asian Studies program at the University of Michigan. Professor Cowan introduced me to Fr. Placide Temples’ Bantu Philosophy the first such work of its kind. Afterwards ! taught African philosophy and religion as part of an introductory philosophy course at SUNYAB. Student and faculty response was so tepid that I dropped it altogether after 1966. I resolved, nevertheless, to visit Africa to study its religion and philosophy, and art form when I could. Opportunity to do so appeared in 1972 when I traveled across North Africa from Morocco to Egypt and Lebanon. The next year I went through Central Africa from Senegal to Ethiopia, and again this year I flew from Rio to Johannesburg and thence down to Capetown, took the Garden Route by bus to Port Elizabeth, spent a week in Kruger Park and then flew northward through Rhodesia, Malawi, Tanzania, Kenya, Sudan and Egypt. Cairo attracted me not only because I had made a good friend there (when 1 was in Tripoli waiting for a sandstorm to subside), but also for the magnificent sculpture at the Egyptian Museum, and the monuments at Thebes, Memphis, Luxor and Aswan. My friend, the Egyptian sculptor of the statue of Gamel Nasser in the center of Alexandria, and Col. Gadaffi and other notables, showed me the less-known sights of Cairo and the surrounding countryside. Among my reasons for going to South Africa this year was the fear that I might not be permitted to visit it for some years if I delayed. I also wanted to see the ancient rock paintings, photograph village life, animals and birds, as well as collect masks and sculpture. My visits to t|ie major universities of South Africa would also be useful and educative. The socio-political situation in South Africa and Rhodesia was always in the limelight, although local television coverage of it was sparse because of strict censorship. South Africans turned out to be calmer if they were of British descent rather than of Dutch heritage. The Afrikaners of Dutch lineage seemed uncompromising in their attitude towards keeping the blacks “in their place.” An outstanding example of this was the attempt to separate various groups of blacks into “statelets” (segregated areas) like Bantusan where they would have no industrial, , urban or commercial base. Rhodesians more uptight In South Africa I met several fighters for equal rights for the black and colored majority. One of them was recently released from jail. The repressive Voerster government has a large internal security police force that keeps track of insurgents, black, colored and white. I already knew of some of their activities from a professor who had emigrated from South Africa to teach at SUNYAB ten years ago. A number of professional people are under house arrest in South Africa, as in the instance of the journalist whose account was broadcast on Canadian educational TV. They can go to work, but cannot communicate with their friends or travel about. The situation is comparable to that which occurred in Greece under the rule of the Fascist generals. It is said that the building boom in South Africa is partly based ’ on the construction of prisons, jails and detention camps. Intellectuals whom I met were defensive about South African racial, labor and business policy. Development Program The Rhodesians were more up-tight than the South Africans. They feel “surrounded” by hostile governments and have taken to patrol their borders around the clock. They have suffered the weight of labor boycotts in Africa and Europe. It is impossible for Rhodesian airliners to land anywhere but Switzerland I was told by one lady on the verge of labor hysteria. British, Italian and French discourages trade with either country. The African states nearest Rhodesia are hostile and almost totally uncooperative. An exception to this is the movement of the railroad that runs from Zambia through Rhodesia into Mozambique. It would have been hard on all three countries had Zambia and Mozambique refused all passage. Upon leaving Balawayo (in Rhodesia), I found myself in several convoys led and followed by armored cars. Various jeeps, rovers and vans were comandeered for border patrol. Men up to fifty were called up for active duty. On the Zambesi River we were protected by an armed patrol boat, but across the river we could see the Zambian patrol boat which was based near Livingstone. mostly at night. Gunfire There were could be heard above the roar of Victoria Falls and it was rumored that a "‘careless American girl” was shot near the Victoria Falls. I was soon to discover that the usual tourist to be shot was an American wandering around at night on some undisclosed mission. Most of the armored cars, tanks and rovers and patrol boats are manned by young men equipped with rifles or UZI’s (machine guns made in Israel). In all of Africa I never saw a black man armed, but the reason for that, I was told, is that those armed were hiding out in various areas at the edge of urban centers and along the borders of countries frieqdly to liberation. The Office of,Student Affairs and Services has received renewal of its grant to aid foreign students with their transition to a new university and community. Student aides will be assigned to a wide range of settings, such as Student Affairs Offices and the Foreign Student Help Center.

UNIVERSITY STUDY ( Interested in earning university credits while exploring a new land in all its aspects? Why not consider a summer, semester, year, or degree program at one of Israel’s seven leading universities. Religious studies, humanities, the social sciences and a host of other courses are offered in either English or Hebrew with special emphasis on helping you get a grasp of Israel. Whether if be in Jerusalem, Haifa, Tel Aviv or the Negev, a study program at an Israeli university will give you a new feeling about Israel and yourself as well. Write for a brochure giving informationabout all the universities and the programs they offer. Council for Advancement of Study Programs at Israeli Universities, 515 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10022, (212) 751-6070 - Armed battle in progress The blacks of South Africa and Rhodesia are supported by the international labor movement, socialist countries, and. some religious organizations such as the Quakers. The government of the “advanced” capitalist countries have been “reluctant” to support the blacks, as emancipation would cut into their corporate profits and make the extraction of raw materials more costly (they believe). Even where there is some sympathy for the plight of the blacks in South Africa and Rhodesia, commercial interests seems to override them in Western Europe and North America. The question is asked whether South Africa and Rhodesia can resolve their difficulties without resort to armed conflict. The answer seems to be that, first of all, armed struggle is going on. It is a daily fact of life. The guerillas have-certain disadvantages in South Africa, but definite advantages in Rhodesia. Disadvantages are lack of arms and expertise, lack of money, and absence of powerful, friendly neighbors. Lack of theory as to how to proceed is another disadvantage, although there are lessons to be learned from other revolutions in Africa. So far the black insurgents have not won any notable local political gain*!, although the African National Congress and other organizations are learning techniques that will probably pay off in the future. White rule in Rhodesia and South Africa is helping the revolution by making a “middle way” impossible. For the irfsurgents the only choice is between armed revolt and surrender. South Africa and Rhodesia have a different situation from Angola and other recently-liberated states. They have internal colonization rather than home-and-abroad colonialism.

He cited a recent study which says that 40 percent of the Indian people live at a level of minimal subsistance or below. Chatterjee feels that the recent tendency of foreign investors to emphasize industrialization has led only to the trappings of industrialization, such as pollution, and that the fringe benefits still go to a chosen few. f.ditor's Hole: The Thin/ World Student Association program "Inlpcrialism Today. was held Saturday and Sunday in Squire Hall. The program stressed lire need to prevent the superpowers, which include the United Stales, the Soviet Union, and several countries in Romir Chatterjee of. the Indian People's Association, in North America said Saturday he has witnessed an awakening of people everywhere to the evils of imperialism. Chaterjee rejects the commonly used phrases such as “detente, cooperation, and the emergence of a new economic order that will save the Third World,” classifying these terms instead as rhetoric that should be ignored. " Western T'urope economic penetration", political. military, and from of the underdeveloped nations “ 1776 Chatterjee concluded his' point by claiming that India can’t be successful under a capitalist system. “India is not a large, dormant, and sleeping giant as many people think.” he stated boldly. “The people are not docile.” He added, “The problems of the Indian economy can’t be solved by going from fascism and back and forth to parliamentary democracy. We need revolution.” Malcolm Caldwell, of the School of Oriental and African Studies, also attempted explain to imperialism. He views imperialism as a dangerous force that makes its victims culturally and economically dependent, and leaves various other scars. He views the two superpowers as dangerous, but claims the Soviet Union has less capacity to dominate at this time than the United States. Western European of the world. Third WoHd groups view the struggling peoples of Asia, Africa, and Latin America as essential roles to the anti-imperialist movement. These people ace dedicated to “bringing about a new economic order in According to Chatterjee, imperialism is a phenomenon that is special to the capitalist era. He indicated that India serves as a “playground for the two superpowers, which are two systems that are basically capitalist in nature.” He added that these superpowers compete frequently, and often take turns in exhibiting external control. opposing intervention and exploitation, and in fighting for and safeguarding national sovereignly and independence. ” External pressure For example, Chatterjee mentioned that during India’s recent period of turmoil, the Soviet Union vigorously supported Indira Ghandi as the champion of people’s rights. Later, in the post-election period, the United States became more dominant and re-established its control and interests. Chatterjee objects to the tendency in America to criticize only the United States and underplay the Soviet Union which he views as equally powerful and dangerous. Chatterjee rejects any discussion on imperialism that doesn’t focus on class structure. He indicated that since India received her independence in 1947, the masses have just sunk deeper into servitude. He explains, “Imperialism never relinquishes its hold through the peaceful transfer of colonial authority.” Chatterjee claims that a country is kept down when it receives large amounts of foreign investment or aid. In order of magnitude, the countries which have foreign investment interests in India arc Britain first, with the United States gaining, Japan, Italy, and West Germany. Figures indicate that between 1948-1958, foreign investment grew 112 percent, with steady rises since. America aids most countries or Japan. Foreign aid is another area in which outside powers exert pressure on India. According to Chatterjee, the leading donors are the United States (42.3%), the World Bank (!6.5%), Great Britain (9%), West Germany (7.5%), and the Soviet Union (6.1%). Chatterjee sees foreign aid as another method of keeping India dependent. Aid leads to the accumulation of great debts, which lead to further dependence continued Chatterjee. The Indian representative pointed out that these debts are difficult to pay back since the Third World countries can barely compete in world markets. Chatterjee also claimed that foreign investments focus on manufacturing, and this only serves to — Imperialism Today V 1 at * According to Caldwell, imperialism is “a dead end, that is an extension of capitalism and that serves the minority.” He added that imperialism wastes resources and produces luxury products for the minority while others go hungry. Caldwell sees the very existence of imperialism as supporting the evenutal destruction of the natural environment. He concluded by saying that as the national liberation groups around the globe are succeeding, a pressure is being placed on the imperialist nations. Caldwell claims that the results of this pressure will be further exploitation of the American working class, an overall worsening of living standards in America, and an increase in tension all over the world. • nr * • :f ; 14 O- Western weapons w sold to S. America M by Brett Kline depth, having just heard of it the other day, divides the sales into high technology low and Feature Editor Anns sales and the importing of Western technology in L atin Ameirca have increased in recent years, James Cockcrafl of Rutgers University said Sunday. He. began by reading from Lenin’s “Imperialism and Higher Capitalism” of and States a info, launched technical discussion • condeming the “industrial, bank and commercial capital” that guides imperialism and has effected the formation of “capitalist metropoles and socialist peripheries.” “Imperialism has shaped the development of underdevelopment in many Third World countries,” he commented. The economics of colonialism have alway been based on the mother country importing raw goods and exporting finished products. Implying this as one imperialism, basic tenets of Cockroft pointed out that on top of exporting goods, “the U.S. is now exporting whole factories.” He cited Mexico and Peru as being two countries where nationalized industry has opened the doors to the importing of western (American) technology sold at a high price. “By overpricing the technology and underpricing the product, the U.S. retains “fantastic liquid capital," “Capitalism said Cockroft. preserves enclaves," he continued. Weapons sales Cockroft presented audience with a new trends in arms sales American and South countries. This new the small theory of to Latin American analysis, which he had not really studied in categories, “Sales of low technology items such as guns, helicopters, tear gas which weapons and other constitute ground level repression of class struggle have increased in the last few years,” he said. The sales of “high technology” which as includes materials such armnaments, bombs, and nuclear and also includes the needed to produce them, have also increased; but at a slower rate. Cockroft established that Brazil has become a major independent armas producer and as such must increasingly rely on from “Western technology As imperialists.” higher a proportion of that country’s total production is arms oriented, so must a higher proportion of its weapons, technology technology by imported from the West. He noticed that Brazil is in the process of signing an arms accord with West Germany to produce nuclear weapons with techology, because, German according to World War II agreements, Germany cannot build its own. Cockroft said that the Soviet Union has “taken the capitalist with production road of social-imperialist importantly noting relations," its trade offensive in Latin America. “Cuba is only averagely dependent on the Soviets," he said, “but there is not country like Cuba where there is such mass participation in decision-making.” Sam Noumoff of the Center of Last Asian Studies at McGill University in Montreal stated has flatly, U.S.S.R. “The -Kline surpassed the U.S. in the air and on land.” He cited figures showing that while the U.S, spends only five percent of its Gross National (GNP) Product on defense activities, the Soviets spend 14 percent. The validity of these figures was questioned by a men\ber of the audience who said that C'.NP figures did not reflect the amount of money spent on technology at home and in smaller countries, an area in which the U.S, far outspends the Soviet Union. In discussing detente and disarmament, Noumoff said that currently, “disarmament means to disarm your enemy,” He did not recent think that the Carter-Vance mission to the Soviet Union was serious, saying, “Carter now says he didn't mean the Soviets .on the put defensive, that he wilr take a second look. This either means to that Brezinski and other close staff didn’t know how to deal with the Russians or that they were foiling Carter, or that the whole thing was a fraud.” Using many specifics, Noumoff illustrated how although (or may he because) the Soviets hae most recently increased their rate of arms production faster than the U.S.. Secretary of State Vance asked them to discard or give up. The Soviets easily realized that, he concluded. Again, citing many specific figures, Noumoff said that over 60 countries are currently ordering ammunition class postage paid at Buffalo, New York. Subscription by Mail: S10 per year.

The witness of Angola, Mozambique and Guinea Bissau is a fresh encouragement. Furthermore greater international sympathy will rise as it is more widely known that the liberation movement is not anti-white nor terrorist. The hostile press in Africa (and elsewhere) has spread the tale that the movement is anti-white and terrorist in order to increase resistance to it. The same fabrications are spread about the Zaire freedom fighters who are trying*to bring down Mobutu, blaming the fighting on Angolan and Cuban “troops.” American and Belgian interests in South African uranium and Zaire’s copper should not be forgotten. President Eisenhower warned of the selfish interests,of the industrial-military complex before the Vietnam debacle.

This article deals with a / 960's study on obscenities. by Jay Rosen Spectrum Staff Writer In the mid-1960’s there was a prevailing attitude in Washington that “something should be done” about pornography. In characteristic Congressional fashion, the Commission on Obscenity and Pornography was created in October 1967. The Commission was created to investigate and develop recommendations in four areas: to analyze current laws and recommend new definitions of obscenity. to explore the methods used in distribution and traffic of pornography. to study the relationship of porn and obscenity to crime and other anti-social behavior, — — — particularly among youth. to recommend action to effectively regulate the traffic in pornography without interfering iri constitutional rights. Several events along the way to reaching these objectives thrust the commission’s research into the public arena. Richard Nixon, in mid-1970, appointed his first and only member to the Nixon left no doubts about his personal. feelings on the issue. He appointed Charles Keating, president of — Citizens for Decent Literature. Secret experiments Commission members Hill and Link, acting on their own initiative, conducted public hearings on the issue across the nation. The unsanctioned hearings made headlines throughout the United States. The aim was to build political support for control of pornography. In a New York City hearing, 26 of the 27 witnesses testified in favor of control. Commission research techniques were supposed to be kept secret. It was feared that certain experiments would have to be modified or abandoned if made public. Research was aimed at maintaining a low profile, information about experiments was leaked to columnist-lack Anderson. One of the experiments made use of a plethysmograph (a device attached to the genitals to measure reactions over a period of time) oh a sample of University of North Carolina males who were exposed to erotica 00 minutes a day for three weeks.

Vice President Spiro f. Agnew said in a campaign speech, “This Commission was not named by President Nixon' b(o sir, your honor, it’s not our As long as Richard Nixon is President, Main baby Street is not going to be turned into Smut Alley . . .” When the report was released, conservatives worst fears were realized. The commission declared porn hot guilty on almost all counts. It found no evidence to support the theo’ry that pornography leads to sex crimes. In fact, the report cited a study in Denmark where the incidence of sex crimes actually decreased following the liberalization of obscenity laws. The report stated, “Public opinion in America does not support restrictions upon the right of adults to see explicit sexual materials.” The Commission also recommended repeal of all laws Restricting the sale of sexual materials to consenting adults. It suggested stronger controls on sales to minors but reported that few minors are actually able to purchase or view erotica.'They could not find any positive connection between sex crime offenders and exposure to erotica. In one study, a negative relationship seemed to hold. ... Nixon's legacy A more discouraging mandate could hardly be dreamed of by moralists. Congress quickly acted to denounce its own Commission. Senate Resolution 477 was passed' three weeks before the election -it rejected the findings and recommendations of the commission by a vote to 60 to 5. Walter Mondale, who voted against the resolution, was- bitter, “I doubt if any of them read the report. It was over 1000 pages long.” Nixon issued his own rejection of the report, offering this rationale: “The Commission contends that the proliferation of filthy books and plays has no lasting effect on a man’s, character. If that were true, it must be that great books and £reat plays have no enobling effect on man’s conduct. Centuries of civilization and ten minutes of common sense tell us otherwise.” Oliver Wendell Holmes once said, "No woman was ever seduced by a book.” Richard Nixon claimed pornography would “poison the wellsprings of American and Western civilization.” It has been •Nixon’s legacy, and not Holmes’, which has fostered the continuing restrictions on what Americans can see and read.

We were glued to our chairs enthralled, paradoxically /blown away’.” ' Haynes worked with Lester Young in 1947 before joining Charlie Parker in 1949, two jazz legends-(and only 22 years old).

Rubella screening tests to be offered presents an organizational meeting The Sub Board Health Care Division is now offering Rubella tests at a minimal price for University members in Michael Hall basement. Rubella German Measles is usually harmless to those who contract it. However, in pregnant women, the disease is often transmitted to the fetus, which may subsequently suffer congenital deformities. Women who contract Rubella in their first four months of pregnancy run the greatest risk of having a deformed child. Division Director Bob Olds said the sole purpose of the screening is to prevent these congenital deformities by alerting susceptible individuals. Olds hopes to control the spread of the disease through immunization of the University community. “Outbreaks of Rubella in high schools and colleges have assumed increased importance,” according to Olds. “Recent Rubella outbreaks of the great extent occurred at Memphis State University and the University of North Dakota. From previous studies we know that Rubella occurs in a seasonal pattern with incidence increases occurring in January, reaching a peak in April or May, and dropping to a low level in August. Hence, our emphasis on screening at this time,” he explained. — TODAY — Screening process The screening process consists of a blood test which is administered by Medical Technology Department students under the physician’s supervision. The blood sample is tested for the presence of Rubella antibodies. The antibody level in an immunized person generally remains stable for two to four years following the immunization, whether immunization occurred through vaccination or by having had the disease. After this time, an antibody boost is usually recommended, although the vaccine should not be adrtiinistered in the two months preceding pregnancy or during pregnancy. A mass rubella screening will be held Thursday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Fillmore Room. Rubella screening will be held for the remainder of the 1967-77 school year. People having low antibody levels can receive free vaccination through Childrens Hospital in Buffalo.

One of those mad' 19th century experiments in Fourierism? Actually, this is only part of the present day reality at . the found Farm located in Summertown, Tennessee, the largest working commune in the United States. The Farm came into being about six years ago when Stephen Gaskin, spiritual leader of the Farm and a former English teacher at San Francisco State College, departed from the psychedellic disillusionment of Haight-Ashbury leading a caravan of buses carrying about 200 followers. They arrived in Central Tennessee farming country with a plan for religious and economic self-sufficiency which they hoped would revolutionize their lives. “What’s really revolutionary is to grow your own food, taking the food out of the profit system. Deliver your own babies, instead of paying a thousand dollars a whack at a hospital every time you have a baby.. Learn how to fix things instead of joining in the black box economy . Get outside that system,” Gaskin has said. The way out was not so simple the first year. The soil was not the best and the Farmers had no idea of how' to make it healthy Everyone crops. had yield embraced vegetarianism in an effort to utilize proteins in the cheapest, most intelligent way possible and the diet proved difficult for some to maintain. Gaskin was one of a group busted for growing which did marijuana, an occurrence nothipg to enhance these former freaks in the eyes of their neighbors. Thj4 dispiriting state of affairs called for an elementary education in survival skills that had never seemed so necessary before. Men apprenticed themselves for no wages to local farmers in return for agricultural knowledge. The, women researched and implemented a balanced vegetarian diet and learned the art of midwifery. Several Farmers are currently being sent through medical school and will service the commune in the future. Growth From a shaky start, tremendous growth and satisfaction has resulted. Over 2000 acres in Tennessee produce almost all the food the Farmers need and they are now leasing 190 acres in Florida so they can farm year round. The commune has its own school, bank, construction company, medical clinic, soy dairy and telephone system called “Beatnik Bell.” The permanent population of the Farm has burgeoned to more than 1000, and to receives over 15,000 visitors annually. The Farm has attained a place in the good graces of the community as well as the state. Officials have been sending delinquent teenagers to work out fheir problems on-the Farm, and even the sheriff who arrested Gaskin way back in the beginning says he would not mind if his own son went to live there. Because it has been so successful on its own behalf, the Farm has begun to help the less fortunate enjoy the benefits of the 20th century. “The obvious answer to all the famines across the world is for us to share across the world, rather than have some of us be very rich while some of us are starving,” Gaskin says. “This country has been so incredibly rich for the last twenty years that it spends enough money on reducing salons to save Bangladesh.” To fulfill its obligation the Farm has organized a non-profit, charitable corporation called PLENTY. In its first two years PLENTY gave away 50 tons of food to the West Indies, Latin America and several cities in the U.S. One of PLENTY’S most ambitious projects to date ..jnyolved helping Guatemalan Indians reconstruct their lives after the earthquake which hit in February 1^76 wholly the Farm seems idyllically seductive, yet at the same time a collective society makes serious demands on its members that are' not easily met. In a community that has formed around a set of cooperative ideals, individual needs are made subordinate to the needs of the group in order to further those ideals. There is not much room for the development of the private self at the Farm, and absolutely no tolerance for competitive or overly aggressive feelings. A non-cpmmitled attitude towards sex is strongly discouraged couples who live together are considered engaged and those who have babies, married must possess some sort different cpntext (he., the midwives).” Life on Hopes for the future Perhaps the babies born on the Farm will be the ultimate measure of its viability as they grow older. Children are thought of as the raison d'etre of the Farm; consequently, much depends, on .their acceptance of values and ‘patterns of behavior their parents have deemed spiritually enriching. And in the future when they get that inevitable urge to wander, what happens as children leave a communally-raised connected, homogeneous environment that teaches them to be open and trusting, and try to make sense Of the vastly diversified one around them? The. answer to this question may well lie in the confident prediction of Johnston: ..“Over a long enough period of time the tradual and everyone of religious consciousness to live there. The feminist movement is inapplicable at the Farm, where women wear long skirls and are referred to as "the Ladies.” accretion of these ‘alternate’ communities will simply displace the-dpminant mode of capitalism, which is crumbling slowly of its oWn internal accord. Nobody needs to overthrow capitalism. It will die a natural death." According to Village Voice columnist Jill Johnston, who paid a visit to the Farm last ,yeaf. “The women who followed Stephen Gaskin never entered the ego-stream of America's ‘liberated" women.

Wednesday, 20 April 1977 . The Spectrum . Page nine �The issues are real To the Editor. This letter is a response to a letter to the Editor, published on April 18, 1977. The anonymous author citicized our class, “Principles of Persuasion,” or as he (she) incorrectly stated, “Theories of Persuasion.” He said we “created” a “non-issue” for the “sole purpose of testing” our “own effectiveness as persuaders.” He (she) also accused us of being “mongers of mind manipulation.” We, who are members of that class, would like to rectify these false and misleading criticisms. Our assignment was to choose a real issue that exists on campus and run a persuasive campiagn to bring awareness of an issue that is relevant to the students at SUNYAB. This is exactly what we have attempted to do. The problem of guns for campus security has been an issue since, at least, last year. Evidence of this can be found in a letter in The Spectrum, on Guest Opinion by the Buffalo Support Committee of the United Farm Workers of America Anybody remember the grape, lettuce, and Gallo wine boycott?. Almost everyone you talk to these days is under the impression that the United Farm Workers’ (UFW), AFL-CIO, struggle to unionize the nation’s millions of migrant farm workers is all but over. They point to the fact that just recently a major agreement was reached between the UFW and the Teamsters Union, whereby the Teamsters will cease to harass and interfere with the UFW’s effort to organize workers in the fields. Obviously this was a major victory for both the UFW and all its supporters nationwide. However, this agreement in no way assures an end to the exploitation of workers by the real oppressor, namely the grower. Ernest and Julio Gallo are still continuing to employ any means within their grasp to prevent the union’s efforts to better workers’ conditions. The growers are still perpetrating a system by which the average farm worker can only expect to live to see his or her 49th birthday. It’s a way of life that includes hardships you and I would find utterly incomprehensible. For example, did you know that the typical migrant farm laborer can look forward to: a susceptibility to infectious diseases such as penumonia and tuberculosis 300 percent greater than the national average, a chance to become one of the hundred thousand yearly victims of pesticide poisoning, or a chance to see his or her children working 16 hours a day in the sweltering fields at the age of 9 or 10, never to see the inside of a high school. A migrant farm laborer is very likely to have a home consisting of a 4 by 6 foot trench with a large cardboard appliance box as one’s roof, a workplace where ajrequest to get a drink of water or to go to the toilet can result in immediate firing, a family in which the children who pick the food y«u and I so gladly devour are starving to death. Finally, the worker will probably have a job that offers no compensation whatsoever for the six months he or she may spend recuperating from a fall from a dilapidated ladder that a negligent grower didn’t both to replace, an average annual income of $1500, a living place that is no more than a rat-infested shack, etc., etc. The injustices are simply too long to list. In answer to the question of whether the boycott is still on, the answer is an emphatic yes. Only about five percent of the table grape growers and 50 percent of the lettuce growers in California have come to contract with the UFW. Many of the growers are now employing what is known as a October 18, 1976, which asked if students were aware that there is active legislation to arm security. In a bill, introduced by P.M. Sullivan, to the New York State Assembly on February 1, 1977, it states that “The state university trustees may promulgate regulations for the training, equipment, weaponry, functions and operations of such security and police officers.” We were not “using each person on this campus as guinea 1 pigs” nor were we giving -paranoia injections around Finals time. The whole basis of his (her) letter seemed to be the idea that students at this University are extremely gullible, and it was his (her) “duty” to enlighten them regarding those who would take advantage of their naivete. Obviously, this person is ignorant of the principles of persuasion, for it is not in the manipulation of people, but through the presentation of evidence that one can evaluate and, then, make the conclusions that will persuade himself. The absurdity of his criticisms is reflected in his (her) obvious lack of knowledge in the matter. The letter permeates ignorance. He arrogates to himself the knowledge that can only come from careful inquiry. His (her) accusations are based on insufficient information and carries an overtone of spite. The anonymity of the letter belies the sincerity and strength of his (her) acclamation as a concerned student.

These company unions are in fact not unions at all, but merely totally non-existent “paper organizations” that the growers manage to get on the election ballot. They provide no benefits whatsoever to the workers. However, through threats and intimidation, the growers scare workers into voting for these front groups instead of the only true union, the UFW. Without your jsupport through the boycott, the UFW’s 63 contract victories would never have come about. So until you hear otherwise from the UFW itself, the boycott of non-UFW lettuce, grapes, and Gallo wines is still in force. So be sure to look for the UFW’s black eagle on your produce, and if you don’t see it, demand to know from the store manager why he or she is selling non-UFW produce. Another major battle the UFW is wagering is with Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company, who owns 80 percent stock in one of the largest citrus ranches in the country, Coachella Growers, Inc. The UFW has won the right to represent the workers in this ranch over a year ago, but the growers have been totally unwilling to seriously sit down at the bargaining table. They are interested only in talking about such timely concerns as how many thumb tacks the company will provide for bulletin boards, as opposed to real issues such as health insurance plans, grievance procedures, pension plans, safe working conditions, and job security. The UFW is asking all supporters to .contact their local office of Connecticut Mutual to ask what the company is doing to insure the rights of its farm workers to decent working and living conditions. As you can see, the farm workers’ struggle for justice has a long road yet to travel, but the struggle can and will be won through the efforts of the UFW and its supporters like you and I nationwide. The UFW movement is one cause that we can direclty be involved with via our continuing boycott of non-UFW products. Another way you can become involved with the farm worker cause is to attend the showing of “Fighting for Our Lifes,” a documentary about the history of the movement and the union. The film, sponsored by the UB UFW Support Committee, will be shown Thursday, April 21, at 7:30 p.m. in the Squire (Norton) Hall main floor cafeteria, and also on Saturday, April 23, at 2 p.m. in Diefendorf 146. An up-to-date discussion of the latest developments in the UFW will be included, along with the possibility of some live folk music. Donations will be accepted. We of the UFW Support Committee look forward to seeing you there. “company �Following are selections from the SA Constitution. Preamble: We, the day-time undergraduates of the State University of New York at Buffalo, in order to; Promote the general University community. The farce welfare Provide for the proper management of student affairs. the necessary Maintain manifesto Ttr the Editor. The history of all hitherto existing common State U.B. is the history of the struggle between personal involvement for the sake of one’s vanity and detachment for the sake of one’s sanity. Norton Hall elities and alienated commuters, the S.A. and the B.S.U., power hungry school boy politicians and academically pressured students, the manipulative administration and the manipulated faculty, in a word the oppressor and the oppressed, stand in constant opposition to one another, carrying on an uninterirpted, now hidden, now open fight, a fight that each time ends in the common ruin of the allienated masses, or to be more blunt, a complete farce, and this folks js the farce manifesto. First let us direct ourselves to the subject of apathy, a popular weapon used by the S.A. to establish guilt feelings among an already disgruntled student body. The individual student, accepting such propaganda, tries to become involved in S.A. activities and it is at this point that he faces the most absurd farce of all. All activities are cleverly designed to include that same elite segment of the student population, yes, your guessed it, those Long Island liberals with law school aspirations who can be seen scurrying about the upper floors of Norton Hall. Commuters, minority groups and your everyday student looking to have fun every once in a while, are closed out of the action. These people become disillusioned and their alienation increases. It is like a cancer, it festers. And in the midst of this we have the S.A. officials pleading with the students, demanding their participation. We find this an insult to our intelligence. It is clear that this “chosen” minority feeds from this imbalanced system. Like a parasite they suck upon this aimless energy. So if you wonder why turn outs are so low for S.A. elections, ask the people that were elected. It’s exactly the way they planned it. This, coupled with the circus like atmosphere that surrounds S.A. administrative actions, produces even more apathy. For example, the February 28 edition of The Spectrum cited a misuse of power by a student offocial: “Sub Board treasurer Arthur Lalonde has said he ‘bears the burden’ for giving certain Sub Board Division Director and workers $20-$40 bonuses at Christmastime, in addition to their regular stipends.” “Lalonde was quoted as saying; M wanted the individuals to know the Sub Board had taken note of their excellent efforts and wanted to thank them’.” This is obviously a blatant misuse of student funds and this was apparently condoned by the S.A. and the Sub Board. Meanwhile, the same edition of The Spectrum carries a story about the initiation of a court battle between the B.S.U. and the S.A. regarding misappropriated funds. This is a clear example of power politics, where the Norton Hall elites can freely squander our fees while minority groups are closely scrutinized. Obviously, a large amount of money is controlled by a small group of the student population, that supposedly represent the interest of the student body as a whole. Student government logic dictates that the student body’s lack of participation in the use of these funds should be met with pleas for more useless and misused programs. However, our thinking finds the reduction or elimination of these fees as a far more logical reaction to the present situation. Thus, the S.A. controls more funds than actually needed for the small percentage of the student body that actually makes use of these S.A. programs. Along with the termination of programs and funds, student government, as it exists today, should be dissolved. The present government is not one of the majority, but one selected by a minority. In conclusion, the masses at this University are not ignorant of these proceedings. They have strong feelings about these matters, but they are simply tired of being beaten. The end result is a total farce. , misery at .. James T. Winarski Douglas R. Chiponis Tony ./.

Exercise the fundamental responsiblities and rights of a democratic society, Provide for a broader intellectual and cultural development of students do hereby create the Student Association of the Siate University of New York at Buffalo and enact this Constitution for its government Articles VI: The Student Senate Each representative of the Student Senate shall have one (1) vote.

Upon initiation of any one of the following actions, the flections and Credentials Committee shall hold a general referendum 4. by petition of ten (10) percent of the regularly daytime undergraduate enrolled students. Article XI: Amendments This constitution may be amended by either the Student Senate or the undergraduate student body. A. An amendment shall be proposed by petition of at least ten (10) percent of the regularly enrolled daytime undergraduate student body to the Student Association President who shall refer it to the Office of flections and Credentials. B. Upon receipt of the petition, the Office of flections and Credentials shall hold, within three (3) weeks of the date of presentation of the petition, a general referendum. A proposed amendment shall be adopted by affirmative vote of a majority of those voting in said general referendum, provided ten (10) percent of the regularly enrolled daytime undergraduate student body votes. ' SA violates its constitution by not holding Leverendum by Michael Stephen Levinson The Administration’s attitude toward students changing their government is very conservative: The last Friday in March, a week before vacation, the President of Student Association, Dennis Delia, received petitions to hold a referendum in order to make the student government for course credit. Friday. April 22, is the absolute deadline for the SA to set up voting machines and hold the referendum. It’s too late for them. They have already broken the spirit of the SA preamble, and the letter of the SA Constitution (your constitution) in a number of places (see box). Although the Constitution clearly states the President of SA must call a meeting of the Senate within one week after a petition signed by 10 percent of the students is received. Delia, the SA President has not yet seen Hi to do this. Because of this, and his disruption (recorded on tape-on file) of a meeting of the six student governments (Sub Board), he may be recalled front office. A'petition to recall an officer from SA requires only 5 percent of the students to sign and then goes directly to the Student Wide Judiciary. If it is established in the SWJ that the charges are true then the officers charged are recalled. Thrown out of office. Such a petition is being seriously considered. Why doesn’t the SA want to hold a referendum that 10 percent of the students have signed petitions for. Because they know they can’t win in open referendum if the student body is allowed to choose between them (SA) and another, more reasonable form of undergraduate government, like the recently Lev established Student Government for course credit. Tough shit. When questioned initially about the referendum Michael Stephen Levinson, author of the petition by and incidentally, the teacher listed for the first IGA Course: The Student’s Government College F 250 (officially meeting the .first day of summer school l l )77). Delia claimed there was no course and if there wasn't a course, there couldn’t be a vote because if it passed, then there wouldn’t be anything.’’ The Student’s Government is a course and was established as a course at the last curriculum meeting of the Colleges. While at that meeting, it was discovered that SA people had called different members of the curriculum committee to tell them that they didn’t want a government for course credit to be offered. Nice. THE COURSE EXISTS. Now Delia wants to hear it in a letter from Walter Kunz. Acting Dean of Undergraduate Education (DUE), as if Dean Kunz has nothing better to do besides write letters to Dennis Delia about new courses when 40 new courses are presented for DUE approval everytime the DUE meets. hands off. The students are entitled to change the form of their government it's in the guidelines. The student’s government is primarily the creation of "the students-mandated by the Slate in the guidelines that the students have a government, if only to represent the student body to the administration, besides handle the disbursement of the student’s state mandated activities fee. — The student hacks raise other claims in the 2nd floor corridors of Squire Hall: “It’s not legal because our lawyer (paid for with your money) advised us there isn’t a structure and the stale requires a structure” blah, blah. blah. The lawyer (Richard Lippes) told me. “Lawyers are whores: they can serve any cause.” Another campus lawyer.told me the petition was perfectly legal and within the structure of the University. In good spirit, although it isn’t necessary, and somewhat redundant, the following lines could be added to the original petition: "All the powers of The Preamble, constitution, by-laws, articles of organization. Book of Rules and structures therein of the Student Association and its offices shall be turned over to The Student’s Government for Course Credit College F 250 that is the lirst IGA course officially meeting the first day of Summer Session 1977.” “In the interim period the Student Association shall stand.” If Delia was willing to honor his SA Constitution, the Senate would be meeting over this issue and if everyone felt it was necessary we could add those lines. But that isn’t the issue at hand. The issue is the right of the students to vote for change in the first place. The issue is the right of the students to vote, in a referendum, not which government is in power or office the next day. Dennis Delia and fellow officer. Jeffrey Lessoff have already demonstrated the SA and its constitution are not feasible for an undergraduate government at SUNYAB. These two students/ in their stupidity and intransience can actually bring down the whole SA as an institution at SUNYAB. Good for them. Structurally, the Student Association itself defies analysis of its constitution, written by a few bureaucrats a few years ago to disenfranchise everyone else is nonfunctional. Formal complaints are being filed with SWJ (Student Wide Judiciary) today. A petition to recall Dennis Delia and Jeffrey Lessoff from office may also be circulated. A structural analysis explaining the proposed new government is still to be forthcoming. Wednesday, 20 April 1977 . The Spectrum . Page eleven �Round Up...

In a lecture-discussion format, undergraduates of schools nationwide were able to converse with professionals of many fields on relevant scientific issues. The social, moral and ethical implications of recombinant DNA research and genetic engineering were of particular interest and the subject of hot debate. Do the predicted benefits genetic researchers anticipate outweigh possible dangers sighted by a growing number of disenchanted citizens and technologists? Jeremy Rifkin, Director of the People’s Business Commission, called for a 4-year moratorium on recombinant DNA research. He declared that in the last quarter of the 20th century, after the first seven hundred years of the Scientific Age, “The age of technology and physics and the Industrial Revolution are being challenged by a new reality with the dawn of the Organic Age and the prospect of post-man.” Complicated issues In opposition, Dr. Betsy Anker-Johnson, Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Science and Technology, described present recombinant DNA research as “a speeding up process of what already occurs in nature.” No excessive restrictions are called for by the advocates of this view, but a need for a minimum level of standards and public safety and unity within science disciplines. Ron Wylie, Director of Regulation and Compliance of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, while speaking on the rules and processes involved with drug abuse and regulation, referred to the current saccharin controversy, as a very complicated and unpredictable situation. Currently the FDA is assessing labratory evidence compiled from a number of sources. Private corporations, government funded programs, and countries around the world are looking lor acceptable evidence to resolve the situation. Amid such contusion the question can he raised as to whether such government institutions as the FDA efficiently protect the healtli of the public. Wonder drugs, added preservatives, new artificial sweetners, are increasingly being found to produce cancer and other harmful effects in labratory animals after they have already been put on the market. mi? ,4V>T* ANTI-FREEZE • IRC's Semi-Formal Dinner-Dance 8:00 pm 2500 Main Street Friday, April 29th SANTORA's - — Live Music Open Bar Complete Dinner FREE TRANSPORTATION • Tickets only $5.00 IRC feepayers - - $7.00 non-fee payers First Floor Goodyear SUMMER 1977 Summer in Western New York is lively and pleasant.

The Sp*Ctrt*&’. fege thirteen �•'•us attending the school and what the job situation might be like after graduation. The presentation was made together with several other stabs at reaching the high school student going to college. Eliminate guesswork Colleges try to ease confusion by Helaine Lasky the student feels cheated by professors or the courses Special to The Spectrum theihselves. A new market of older students returning to college presented a new problem for the admissions folks as their needs differ from traditional students. (CPS) The decision to attend college has always been a complicated question of where, when and how much. In an effort to ease the confusion, college admissions officers are frantically updating catalogues and brochures with the latest financial aid and employment information. Nevertheless, a recent seven-state survey of more than 5,900 prospective college students conducted by The College Board, a nonprofit association of over 2,000 schools and school systems, concludes that still — more detailed information is needed than is available. More than 150 higher education and student leaders in Washington, D.C. at a conference coordinated by the National Task Force on Better Information for Student Choice, a Department of Health, Education and Welfare project, and judging from the three-day session of meetings and round-table discussions, educators are still uncertain about what to tell students about their programs. A mountain of brochures distributed at the conference appeared to be designed to deal primarily with the financial aid application procedure. Few dealt with the student consumer who wants to know exactly what he or she can expect from courses or how to obtain a refund if met recently 60’s children “The attitude seems to be, let’s entertain them, not worry about educating them. They (admissions people) still think they are dealing with 60’s students and are not offering anything to the older student,” complained Ruth Stultz, a representative from Prince George Community College in Portland, Ore. The College Board study found that low-income students, in particular, want more complete financial aid data but that this belief appeared at all income levels. The survey conducted in California, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Ohio, Oregon and Virginia by 10 colleges in the surveyed states and the Washington, D.C.-based National Student Educational Fund found that student interest in almost any kind of information “rose as family income decreased.” Some college officials believe that the high cost of college presented outright will scare off prospective students while others simply lack the communicative skills. One enterprising community college in upstate New York prepared a 12-minute film about the campus, the cost of Closing the gap The gathering in Washington, D.C. featured the very designers of the student information projects but did not host any high school students who would be likely to use the material. Students basically appeared by proxy only as survey results and even those, admitted one admissions officer, are often doctored, indicating that students’ answers on college surveys may be angrier or more dissatisfied about what they are getting in exchange for their money. One Michigan college tried a 250-page prospectus out on the conferees called “Closing the Information Gap: A Program and Employment Prospectus,” which though weighty and monotonously designed, was filled with valuable data concerning such topics as whether college really matters, matching interests and abilities to career areas, computing program costs and the programs themselves. There is even a glossary of frequently used words. But finally, the meeting of educators in Washington, D.C. resolved little and packaging information to high school and college students appears to need greater communication between student and administrator, and less round-table congratulatories at national conferences among the academic poryers that be. Many catalogues were passed around and many were passed over. But the most important element missing in the academic draft was the students themselves who might have responded spontaneously and candidly to information primarily designed for them. Foreign student aid Foreign student Tuition Waiver Applications for Summer, 1977 and for Fall, 1977 semesters are now available at the Office of Financial Aid, 312 Stockton Kimball Tower Hall.

The Financial Aid Office is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Students testify at Trustee hearing (SASU) Six members of the SUNY Board of Trustees heard testimony from distraught SUNY students at the open hearing held at SUNY Binghamton this week. About 16 persons presented testimony to. the trustees. Christian Gruber, SUNY Binghamton professor, defended the four credit/Course system in operation at SUNY Binghamton and SUNY Buffalo and presently under .attack with an altered FTE scale. Gruber charged that the present system did not shortchange'SUNY students and was neither a “fiscal gimmick" nor a mpve by professors to shirk responsibilities. Chancellor Kelly responded by assuring his support. SUNY student Phil Deitch spoke out for disabled and handicapped students throughout the SUNY system. He recommended the appointment of a staff member at every SUNY school to oversee a program for handicapped students and stressed SUNY support of ALL UNDERGRADUATE ENGINEERING STUDENTS Elections will be held on Wednesday, April 20th at 3:30 pm in Acheson 5 tor the offices of President, Vice-President, Treasurer and Secretary. ALL MEMBERS URGED TO ATTEND Page fourteen . The Spectrum . Wednesday, 20 April 1977 “barrier-free” campuses. The panel of trustees also heard testimony from Broome County Community College representatives who bemoaned the lack of funds allocated to community colleges and emphasized their important role as a community service. They also claimed that cutbacks in community college funding increases job competition for two-year college grads and may prevent them from completing four year degrees at SUNY colleges. Another topic for consideration was the proposed construction of the Utica/Rome campus. A half-dozen students approached the trustees with the problem and discussed the proposal to share facilities between Utica College and Upper Division. ‘Such obvious targets’ Attended by about 100 students, the hearings sparked some discontent among groups of students. A banner was strung up that read “Trustees Get Off You High Horse” and a flyer entitled “Why We Should Egg the Trustees” was distributed. A few students, in an effort to politically satirize the hearing, were costumed to represent Mayor Beame, Jimmy Carter and Nelson Rockefeller. Trustee Johnson said the somewhat hostile reactions were expected, and that the trustees are “such obvious targets.” Chancellor Kelly, in an interview with a student reporter explained that it was difficult for the trustees to respond to student demands because serious problems require in-depth consideration and a panel of less than half the trustees is not »b(e to make decisions. , Student Association president Lisa Chason siad of the hearing, “It to see that education h’as. become broader in the last j»?Caxte, it has not democratized: A perfect example is the way the trustees meetings are being held, with no opportunity for dialogue or access to the decision-making process.” The hearing was presided over by trustees Darwin Wales and attended by trustees Thayer, Johnson, Sinnot, Holloman and Jackalone, as well as Chancellor Kelly and other SUNY officials. Besides students, about 20 to 30 administrators and a number of faculty members and private citizens attended the meeting. �ms vTr A COLLEGE RING It’s a symbol for life '■ Senior Mike Dixon stands 6-3 and weighs 215 pounds and when he steps to the plate carrying a baseball bat, you have to feel sorry for that poor little white baseball. So far this year, Dixon has clubbed six homeruns (only three count because the remainder came against junior college or professional teams), and had a big doubleheader Sunday with eight runs batted in against Fairfield. Dixon already owns the Buffalo career records for RBIs and homers, and he is our Athlete-of-the-Week. Baseball Bulls lose control on the mound The baseball Bulls started off their northern schedule with their bats booming. Last year, Buffalo led the nation in team batting (.361) and they picked up right where they left off last year. The Bulls scored 31 runs and banged 43 hits in 28 innings, losing twice to St. John’s on Fairfield twice on Sunday. Buffalo coach Bill Monkarsh started lefty Bill Casbolt in the first game against St. John’s, but he was replaced by Mike Betz in the fourth and Ron Mero in the seventh. All three pitchers had control problems, walking a total of eight batters. In spite of their troubles, the Bulls managed to keep pace with the Redmen, led by catcher Mike Dixon’s two run double in the sixth and Phil Ganci’s homerun. At the end of seven innings, the score was tied 4-4. St. John’s John Morilli hit a single with two on in the eighth to give St. John’s the win. The nightcap was no contest at all for the Redmen. Buffalo used four pitchers.to try to control the onslaught of the St. John’s hitters, but to no avail; the Redmen scored four runs in the second and five in the fifth enroute to an 11-6 win. The Buffalo hitters again had a field day. Rightfielder John Pderson had a double and a triple and batted in two runs and Ganci and Mike Groh had two hits and two RBI’s each. SatfirdaiF.-and beating Dixon produces Buffalo got back on the winning track the next day against Fairfield. Led by Dixon’s eight RBI’s, Buffalo took both contests. In the first game, Dixon hit a three run homer in the fourth and knocked in another run on a single. Rick Brooks pitched a fine game for Buffalo, but gave way to Casbolt in the seventh. The final score was SENATE MEETING TODAY 4pm—Haas Lounge Everyone is Welcome! 6-4. The last game was another hitters’ paradise, especially for the Bulls who scored 15 runs to the Stags’ 10. Dixon had a three run double and a sacrifice fly. Pederson had a two run double in the third. Buffalo starter Dave Borsuk had to be replaced by Craig Warthling in the second.

Page fifteen �Fearless NBA predictions by Jay Rosen Spectrum Staff Writer Editor’s note: Jay Rosen has agreed to stick out his neck and make some perilous predictions about the current National Basketball Association playoffs. the With National and American Basketball Associations now merged into one league, professional basketball will crown a single champion for the first time in over a decade. As the playoffs head into the millionaire quarter-finals, the players get serious, and fans can expect to see some of the finest basketball ever played. champion Defending NBA Boston meets Phildelphia in one of the Eastern Division quarter-finals, and the series is expected to go the full seven games. The 76ers have had trouble convincing anyone that they’re the “mpst talented team in sports,” as they have been billed. All season long the guards have played “Keep away” with the basketball, while superstars George McGinnis and Julius (Dr. J) Erving roam the baseline hoping for a rebound. When Dr. J gets the room to perform his brand of unique basketball surgery, the 76ers can be awesome, despite inconsistent play in the pivot from Caldwell Jones and Darryl Dawkins’ If coach Gene Shue can get his assemblage of stars to play team anything resembling basketball, the 76ers will waltz their way in to the finals. Boston has finally come around, with guard Charlie Scott back from an injury and center Dave Cowens getting his red head together, but this version of the Celtics is weaker than least year’s. Gone are wiley veterans Paul Silas and Don Nelson, who were always at their best in April and May. They have been replaced by a pair of formerUCLA hotshots, Sidney Wicks and Curtis Rowe, neither of the biggest surprise of the season, finished with the best record in the league. Coach Jerry West has transformed the Lakers into the most efficient club in the game. Kareem Ab'dul-Jabbar is playing the best ball of his career, excelling in all facets of the game. When streak shooter Cazzie gets the hot hand, Los Angeles is unstoppable. While the bench is not that strong, West has been getting consistent enough play from his starters. Not many of the Lakers have extensive playoff experience. The Warriors will be trying to recapture the spirit that propelled them to a stirring triumph in the NBA finals two years ago. The cast of characters is virtually the same. Forward Rick Barry is passing off better than ever and if opponents slack off, he can still hit the jumper. Gus Williams and Phil Smith provide steady backcourt play. Up front, the Warriors are a little weak. Center whom look comfortable in the Celtic green. John Havlicek continues to play his way into the hall of fame. While having lost a step, Hondo can still be counted on for a last second shot or clutch rebound. JoJo White leads the offense along with Scott. harness the If , Shue can racehorse 76ers, the Celtics, always a running team themselves, will be hard pressed to keep up in a seven game series. Prediction Philadelphia in seven. Houston Washington In the other ' eastern series, Washington Houston. The Rockets have marched into the — playoffs behind two newcomers; Moses Malone, who has matured into an awesome rebounder and inside threat, and guard John Lucas who needed no such maturing. Lucas has taken control of the Houston floor game, which relies on mightly mite Calvin Murphy and textbook shooting of Rudy Tomjanovich. Washington is also a changed team. Phil Chenier and Dave Bing still anchor the backcourt, although the latter has been in a slump of late. Gone are Len Robinson and Nick Weatherspoon, two flashy one-on-one players, in favor of the funadmentally solid rookie, Mitch Kupchak. Forward Elvin Hayes has a tendency to try to do it all. Prediction* Houston in six. Golden State Los Angeles In the West, (Golden State meets Los Angeles. The Lakers, - Page sixteen The Spectrum . Wednesday, 20 April 1977 . Clifford Ray goes to the boards well but is no threat to score. Jamaal Wilkes is just the opposite. Neither Ray nor Robert Parrish will be able to keep Abdul-Jabbar from dominating. Prediction: Los Angeles in six games. Portland Denver Portland and Denver tangle in the other western quarter final. The Rockets, hottest team in the league in October and November, are virtually unbeatable at home, as is Portland. Denver will rely on the aerial stunts of Guard David Thompson and the defensive work of forward Bobby Jones. Paul Silas is still a terror underneath, but shot horribly this year (36%). Center Dan Issel and Jones play the most intelligent basketball on their side of the Rockies, and Thompson can shoot over any human. He has rapidly developed into a clutch player. In Portland, Jack Ramsay has Bill Walton finally playing up to - his potential, proving he is the; can stay with Thompson without the finest rebounder in the game. He a pilot’s lipense, but foes at Trailblazers are formidable Forward superb also a passer. is Maurice Lucas is performing like home. Prediction: Denver in seven v Dr. J was supposed to. The games. In the semi-finals, look for Lucas-Jones matchup will be among the most intersting in the Philadelphia over Houston and playoffs. Watih for Ramsay’s Los Angeles over Denver.

Dr, Stuart C. Nottingham of he Food and Drug Administration .recognized the enormous gains made by American biological research, but also the need to evaluate those gains in terms of humane ethical standards. As one speaker put it. “Biologists cannot be closed systems anymore.” ' Does the FDA, Department of Health, Education and Welfare, and other organizations such as the National Institutes of Health protect the rights of prisoners and mentally retarded children in drug experimentation? A recent rise in court cases involving drug induction has prompted suspician that such institutionalized subjects are unknowingly being used as guinea pigs. Dr. Allen Crocker, Associate Clinical professor of Pediatrics of Harvard Medical School and director of the Developmental Evaluation Clinic of Children’s Hospital in Boston, called for a recognition of the rights of the mentally retarded before any experimental decisions can be made. Other topics discussed were Behavior Control and Modification, Home or Hospital: The Birth Experience and Patient Participation in Medical Care. These are just a few of the many ethical questions prompting a new desire not only among students and professionals, but tht? public as well, to evaluate biologital decisions that effect our every day life. This year’s Bioethics Conference participants unanimously agreed that along with the great advances technology is making in many fields such as Biology and Medicine, our moral character must grow as well. We must openly discuss the issues that face humanity because in today’s age, every decision is apt to effect all mankind. As undergraduate Donald A. Guadagnoli of George Washington University put it, “Death is not the enemy. Doctor Inhumanity Is.” Track club drops first meet by Jeffrey John Spectrum Staff Writer The Buffalo track club opened its outdoor season on Saturday against Geneseo and Fredonia, at Geneseo. The Bulls returned with two losses. They were edged by Gdheseo 75-69 and crushed by Fredonia 127-18. The Bulls, usually tough in the outdoor season, got a strong dose of what was once their own medicine as Fredonia’s Eldred Stephens single handedly scored more than the entire 21 points Buffalo team. Stephens, a senior, had been Buffalo’s ace in the three previous years but transferred to Fredonia when it was announced in 1976 that there would be no track at Buffalo this year. Stephens, who still holds four University of Buffalo school track records, amassed an incredible total of 41 points against Geneseo and Buffalo while competing in five — events. The Bulls were never even.close to Fredonia, but the meet with Geneseo was neck and neck. Buffalo senior Walt Halady led all Bull athletes with 16 points. Against Gepeseo Halady won the javelin with a 135’7” throw and the shot put with a 45’ 12” heave. Two new team members, freshmen Tom Egan and Nick Sacomano, added much needed events strength to the Bulls’ as they each placed second and third in their events. Egan’s scores were in the long jump while Sacomano’s were in the triple jump. In the mile run. Bulls’ senior John Ryerson struggled to a first place finish against Geneseo and a third place against Fredonia with a time of 4:35. In the 120-yard high hurdles sophomore Larry Williams, returning to the team after a long layoff, made his presence known to both Geneseo and Fredonia by taking second place against each with a 16.8 clocking* Freshman Doug Kamholz took third place against each opponent with his 18.1 clocking. Freshmen help In the 440 yard run freshman Mark Hines raced to a first and third place finish with a time of 54.1 while junior Pete Schiffler took second place against Geneseo with a 55.9 clocking. Freshman sprinter Bob Reiss ran the 100 yard dash in 10.9 and wound up first against Geneseo and third against Fredonia. Reiss came back to run the 220 yard dash and placed exactly the same and was clocked in 23.2. Reiss finished the day with a total of 14 points. In the 880 freshman Ken Dole ran 2:09, an effort which was good for a second against Geneseo and a third-against Fredonia. In one of the meet’s toughest events, the 440 yard intermediate hurdles, junior Greg Willis unleashed a 61.4 effort which gave him a first and third place against Geneseo and Fredonia respectively. the three mile run In sophomore Mike Fischer successfully paced himself to a first (against Geneseo) and second place finish (against Fredonia) with a 15:22 clocking. Senior John Ryerson, the Bulls’ distance leader during the indoor season, gradually lost contact with the leaders and finished in second place against Geneseo but out of the money in the Fredonia time was Ryerson’s scoring. 15:52. Fredonia's relays best In the final event of the day, a Buffalo foursome comprised of Willjs, Dole, Hines, and Schifflvr " formed a mile relay team which defeated Geneseo with a time of 3:41. Although exceptional relay turned in by the Hulls never seriously threatened the lead of teams. To 1 redonia’s relay performances were Willis and Dole, At any price you can afford to be choosy. Because the value of every diamond is determined by four characteristics (cut, color, clarity and carat weight), you can always use these qualities to your best advantage. Perhaps you’re attracted by the grandeur of a large diamond. Well, sometimes a large stone can cost the same as a smaller one. Simply because it has a little more color. Or a delicate birthmark hidden inside. On the other hand, you may feel size isn’t the most important quality. Then you could choose a diamond that’s small, but perfectly cut to sparkle with an icy-white elegance. In any case, you 11 be able to find one to suit your personality. Because each one is an individual, with its own combination of characteristics. And you can use these qualities anyway you wish, to help you decide what’s precisely right for you. But the important thing to remember is to buy a diamond engagement ring you’ll be happiest with. You’ll be sharing it for a lifetime with someone you love. And for that reason alone, you should be choosy. ,how. sent ret is forever. A diamond.pacific rings (enlarged for detail), N Iredonia emphasize a point. wrapped up the meet with one final gesture of muscle flexing by entering not only one relay team but two additional non-scoring mile relay teams. They finished 1-2-3 over both Geneseo and Buffalo. Buffalo coach Walter Gant/, was displeased with the close loss to Geneseo. “We would have won if it hadn’t been for the high jump,” said Gantz. A small controversy developed about the high jump which may have robbed Buffalo of its first outdoor victory. The Bulls arrived at Geneseo five minutes' late but the meet was delayed over 45 minutes because of late arriving officials. However, Buffalo was told it was too late to enter the jumping event as it had already gotten underway. As if that wasn’t bad enough the event apparently was conducted without the customary official opening height as the first place claimed by Geneseo was only 5’4” and the third place was a mere 4’. “Four teet! You can walk over four feet!" fumed team Ga n tz member commented,' “Probably half the guys on the team could have won the jump today if they’d only let us compete. The Bulls will he shooting for their first outdoor win this Saturday when they lace Albany and at Binghamton Binghamton. The team might not win but it is expected to be a much stronger squad as star sprinters Joe Woroby and Paul Kubicki may rejoin the team along wllli distance man Mark Kybinski and a new fresh man pole vaulter.

Those students on board contract who missed meals during the blizzard will receive them free on a “meal for meal” basis, according to Donald Bozek, Assistant Director of Food Service. During the final week of school, those students on board who wish to take advantage of the plan will receive a discounted per-meal rate, at the following prices: breakfast $1.50, lunch $2.25, dinner $2.95. A slightly higher rate will be offered to students who are not on board: breakfast $1.75, lunch $2.40 and dinner $3.15. - - — — — - Delia opposed plan Student Association President Dennis Delia questioned the fairness of the plan, pointing out that students had signed a contract which provided for meals for the entire semester “to run concurrently with the academic calendar.” Delia asserted that if the academic calendar were extended, under the | 2351 ‘Sheridan Dr. 99c SPECIAL of the Week! agreement, Food Service should comply. Len Snyder of Facilities and Planning countered by explaining that Food Service is unable to receive federal aid, and therefore cannot be subsidized. “We feel that this is something that is fair we can’t just give food away for free,” Snyder said. Edward Doty, Vice-President for Finance and Management, backed him up: “While we have no desire to make money, we have no ability to lose it either,” stated Doty. Delia seemed sympathetic to those arguments, but nevertheless maintained that the losses caused by the storm should be shared by FSA as well as the students. A motion calling for a fifty percent reduction in the prices levied on these meals was called to a vote. The motion was defeated by a flve-to-nothing margin. The only voting student member present at the meeting was a representative from Millard Fillmore College, a constituency not really affected by the situation. A second motion was made to accept the program as Food Service officials originally proposed. This motion was carried unanimously when called to a vote. Delia hinted at the possibility of active student resistance to the plan which might result in a stodent boycott of Food Service units during this final week. the summer by The during Spectrum Student Periodical, Inc Offices are located at 355 Norton Hall, State University of New York at Buffalo, 3435 Main St., Buffalo, NY. 14214 Telephone: 17161 831-4113.

The President felt that a rebate at this time would fuel inflation and also was no longer necessary to stimulate what he has seen as a lagging economy when he assumed office. Carter, who in his presidential campaign promised to take some substantive action to stimulate the economy, abandoned the rebate plans in the midst of heavy opposition from congressional and business leaders. The president also abandoned his proposal for several tax credits to stimulate business investment activity. Carter had proposed tax credits for new investment and additional tax incentive for the creation of new jobs by business firms. The day of the President’s announcement stock prices rose sharply in what was some of the heaviest .trading of the yea r, in definitive approval of the change in presidential plans. The bond markets also showed renewed streftgth as prices rose while interest fell. Investors interpreted the move by the administration to be an indication that there would be a cut in deficit spending and that therefore the federal government would not have to borrow so heavily in the next few months. This would allow commercial borrowers money for expansion at lower rates of interest, because of the increased availability of money. Economic basis In spite of the strict opposition the rebate would have faced in the Senate, the President emphasized that the decision was made on a sheerly economic basis. With the exception of the stock market, every leading economic indicator was on the rise in recent weeks. He felt the approximately $10 billion generated by the rebate to be not only superflous, but, in all probability, inflationary. Economists have argued that the $50 rebate would not substantially increase consumer spending on the more expensive consumer durables, like automobiles and color television. The rebate would have severely hurt the credit situation, these same economists argued, because of the increase it would bring to the government’s high level of deficit spending. One of the most vocal opponents to the rebate plan was th(j powerful chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank, Arthur Burns, who Carter will have the option of reappointing in two years. Burns felt the injection of so much money into the economy MFC jobs available Paying jobs in Millard Fillmore College (MFC) Student Course and Teacher Evaluation (SCATE) program will be available this week.

For more information, contact the MFC office at 831-5503. at the present time would serve only to further an already alarming inflationary trend to the economy. Carter had initially proposed the rebate because he felt it would help those who were “most in need.” It would have provided an increase in the purchasing ability of those in the lower income groups, those people who orginarily would spend the highest portion of additional income of any group in the nation. There was even approval of Carter’s move by economists representing some of the interests that would initially benefit the most from the rebate program. A spokesman for one of the nation’s leading retailers said last week that while it would have a temporary impact with increases would in sales, a move of have no real lasting effects. Many retailers were not happy with the President’s decision to yield to the anti-inflation forces. Many, in the northeast, which was' particularly hard-hit by winter said the move . indicated that business would be less likely to move ahead and that this could hinder industrial production. However, according to a recent Federal Reserve report, industrial production made its largest monthly gain of the past 18 months last Marcfi, further supporting the President’s decision. > jlf’S Ha|r7 at * j Palmer’s Beauty Salon 3124 Main St. • STYLE • • (nextto UNISEX - ; - PRECISION • J LAYER CUTS STYLING TO SUIT YOUR BUDGET! jCall for appointment please : laundromat): - • i 20% OFF j MULTIDISCIPLINARY CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF AGING . i DR.

Committee decision upheld SASU election ruled valid despite > The higher court of the Student Wide Judiciary has overturned its lower court’s invalidation of the recent SASU election and deemed the results “valid and standing.” The election had been protested by Michael Schwartz and Alan Stein, both of whom were unsuccessful candidates in the election. Their complaint concerned the malfunctioning of several voting booths The protest was orgininally heard by the Elections and Credentials Committee (E & C) which turned down their request and declared the election valid. Schwartz and Stein appealed that decision to the Student Wide Judiciary. The three member panel upheld the protest and invalidated the election despite the strong counter arguments by former Student Association (SA) President Steve Schwartz and Student Affairs Coordinator Lee Peres. Schwartz and Peres argued that due to the lopsided result of the election, the voting irregularity did not affect the outcome. E & C in turn appealed that decision to the higher court of the Student Wide Judiciary. In a memorandum issued subsequent to the decision, the court claimed the most important questions was “whether or not the administrative body of experts known as the SAE & C had incorrectly adjudged the proceedings or had overstepped their boundries.” The court ruled the SAE & C decision was “both just and within the spectrum of* their jurisdiction.” The court’s decision has precluded the necessity of a second SASU election, which according to some estimates could have cost as much as $700.

The major reason is that New York State workers have not had a pay raise since 1974, a year when the inflation rate rocketed to twelve percent. Instead of attempting to make up for this drop in living standards, the State has demanded several contract concessions in return for a pathetic ten percent increase over two years. Obviously this cannot keep pace with the expected increases in the purchase price of the average market basket. In this, a period of campus retrenchment, not only has each budget over the past three years had fewer support and service lines for a growing University, but in an effort to force economies, the State has converted vacated positions from twelve month jobs to ten month seasonals. This has in effect given fewer employees more work responsibilities, even as salaries have been rapidly eroded by inflation. The $250 bonus given to CSEA members last year should be interpreted as little more than an insult. In the past it was assumed that civil servants had at least security in their positions, if nothing else. In taking that away, we feel the State government must do something to properly compensate its workers. This University's workers have the right to a decent wage. We hope that union picket lines will be respected, and that anger at the inconveniences caused by the strike will be directed not at the workers, but at an unfeeling and intransigent State government. Our daily bread Board contract students may be faced with a surprise expense before the academic year draws to a close. Food Service and its parent organization, the Faculty Student Association, have approved plans to charge students on board contract for meals served during the extension of the school year, made necessary by the storm of '77. Students who signed a board contract to save money are now being told that their contract does not cover the entire semester, and that Food Service, an organization that operates such seemingly lucrative ventures as a pub and a pizza shop, is now going to charge for any food consumed past a given date. We think it's unfair. The current board contract says it will extend over a semester, and we think Food Service ought to abide by it. The Spectrum Monday, 18 April 1977 Editor in-Chief — Food Day activities are a series of events that probably most of us have some preconception about. Those of us who are health freaks may think of nutrition with all its derivatives, vitamins, and balanced diets. Mother Earth diehards are reminded of gardens with all kinds of good'vegetables and fruits. Some, but not vegetarians, conceptualize a Food Day workshop where students learn a recipe of taking an economically-priced piece of poultry with a variety of leftovers and creating a spread to which the ‘galloping gourmet’ would sit up and take notice. For others, this day brings to mind the hunger of a small child, mentally retarded from an inadequate diet. For some of us there is another aspect which a Food Day program could possibly present to the public. All of us are familiar with this idea to some degree. After all it is-the hunger in our stomahs that tell our minds it is time to tie on the feed bag. On a broader scale it is hunger in many forms that motivates us to action. Generally we students are in the University to satisfy our need to achieve goals. We could also be motivated by the desire to satisfy the wishes of our parents, or perhaps by taking the opportunity to finding answers to questions this world has presented us. Throughout history, hunger has been used to represent a need or desire that someone has. In many has been explanations, hunger religious representative of the human desire for something spiritual. Food has symbolized the solution to dreams. The hunger for more, greed, has given justification for endless wars. Empires have flourished due to their ability to feed their people. Like-wise they have fallen when they could not feed them. Some of us believe that in conjunction with Food Day we must realize we are much too dependent Indignation or manipulation? To the Editor. Vol. 27, No. 74 upon others in this world to ignore them. We may not see nor understand our world the way we would like but it is our duty to search beyond our own horizons and try to recognize the hate, the fear, and the beauty of other people. A few of us have chosen to spend time fasting, as a symbolic gesture to better understand the hunger only some of us can escape. For what little time we can spend, maybe one day, we will use our energies not to digest food but to think beyond our horizons. The fast is not intended to be a publicized event beyond this article. There, will not be people with big buttons or signs, screaming out “I am a faster!” We will not take our pennies that would otherwise be spent on meals and send them away to some aid program. Those kinds of activities all have their place. However, our aim is to see more about ourselves so that when we see others we will see them in a different light. When we go to the workshops, such as the one put on by the Lajeche League, we will better see the nutrition requirements necessary for a mother to provide her child with a healthy diet through breast-feeding. While attending the programs presetted by the internationM students we will better understand when they talk to us about the problems of population and hunger around the world. Maybe we can realize the problems of population and hunger around the world. Maybe we can realize our misconceptions about the world. So someday, if not today, we will be able to contribute solutions to its problems. We will not attempt to be a mottled group of saints seeking salvation. Those of us who like beer will no doubt tip a couple cool ones next Saturday night. Those who are meat eaters will probably be thinking of a juicy steak drowned in mushrooms. That is human nature and after all we are human. We can not ignore ourselves because we must realize that we understand others only to the extent which we are capable of knowing ourselves. by the Food Action Committee Richard Korman Laura Bartlett Managing Editor Fredda Cohen Managing Editor Jerry L.

These things are a believe that this was the extent of the physical education facilities at U.B.!! The building is totally inadequate in terms of size and equipment. After doing a small amount of investigating, I discovered that there are definite plans for a new physical education complex. It will be a beautifully spacious and very practical facility. The only problem seems to be getting it built! What appears to be the case is those individuals who have the pull do not seem to think the students at U.B. require a more complete physical education facility.

Monday 18 April T977 In a recent conversation with a Communication major at this University, I learned some interesting facts which 1 consider my duty (as a student) to share with the other students of this school. The student I spoke with described to me an assignment for a class entitled “Theories of Persuasion.” It is a class project in which groups of students are to design strategies and tactics to promote a campaign for issues which they create; to get the student body and media involved and active in these campaigns for the sole purpose of testing their own effectiveness as “persuaders.” In effect, using each person on this campus (student, faculty and staff) as guinea pigs for their experiments with “persuasive techniques.” The non-issues which are being planned right now include the contraversy of an armed CampUs Police. The Campus Security are definitely not going to bear arms but we could all use our paranoia injections around Finals time, right? And why not become involved in the rallies planned by another group .to get the plans for the “New Gym” under construction, and sign petitions for it to be sent to “Albany?” Both of these issues would be worthwhile getting involved in if they were real. But that is the point, they are being created for us by some mongers of mind manipulation. So U.B., Be Aware. And Dept, of Communication, how about Theories of Ethics” on your Fall 77 curriculum.

While the cause in which he now speaks, the thorough-going revision of the S.A. to the exclusion of the pork barrel and subservience, is just, it is not the subject of this letter. A statewide organizing effort is being made by the Red Balloon, an on and off campus political group around N.Y. State to bring people to awareness of and to a Civil Disobedience-oriented demonstration 40 miles north of Boston at Seabrook, N.H. Seabrook is the site of one of many nuclear reactors being forced on dying communities, promising jobs and commerce. Unfortunately it also promises nuclear insecurity and if allowed by a community, demonstrates complicity with past and present administrative policies of a foolhardy nature. Playing with nature is the oldest trick in the capitalist bag. After all, the owners and builders and policymakers and those who will most profit by fission energy usually live hundreds of miles away from the sites they choose. They are not fools. The Red Balloon is urging people to rome to this demonstration on April 30th and will conduct C D. training sessions in N.Y.C. and Buffalo. But we are asking people to come with a slightly different analysis of what’s going on than the major sponsors “The Clamshell.” We put forward the.demand that jobs be created in non-socially destructive forms of energy and research in fields like fusion power which is largely unexplored be established where formerly there were only Seabrooks.

Further, the “X” grade may label a person as a lazy academician but it is by far a better label than that of failure. If the V„A. continues this policy, the Student/Veteran will be at a great disadvantage, not only in the area of academic success, but for future vocational goals as well. I therefore recommend that the V.A. concentrate on delivering the entitlement and providing services to aid Student/Veterans in maintaining academic credibility. Further 1 urge Student/Veterans who find themselves in academic or personal conflict to seek out the services available to them, both by the University and by the OVA. mu i pi; Policy frustrates vets To the Editor. The Veterans Administration’s recent move to accord punitive action to Student/Veterans for accepting “R,” “I,” and “X” grades stands as policy that frustrates the purpose of the V.A. Benefits and forces the Student/Veteran into an unfair position in academic and vocational competition. The V.A. Benefits are described by Financial Aid as an entitlement. Making this entitlement conditional in this way prevents the entitlee from being able to rely on this income. The V.A. thus has taken a parental position, stating, in effect, that the veteran is -not adult enough to manage their own lives or control their destiny. This attitude is an insult to all that present day veterans stand for in their minds and the minds of the nation.

Not $1000, not $100, not even $2. Just one buck, one greenback. But we won, and don’t ever forget it. We cruised into our local Super Duper clutching our Gamerama card, all six of us, to demand our bounty. We fantasized that Joey would be on hand to pay us in person, but we had to settle for some high school girl who posed as a cashier after hours. Next we had to split the dollar up. For those who left their calculators recharging at home, one dollar cannot be equally divided six ways without splitting pennies. “I think the person who brought in the most tickets should get the most money,” said Van. This came as no surprise, since Van had brought in the most tickets. So, amidst objections by Barry and Steve who brought in the fewest, this idea was dropped. We instead decided to flip for it, and in the great tradition of the Stanley Cup, we set up as complicated a tournament as possible. There would be three preliminary'rounds to start, best of three flips. Since Van brought in the most tickets he would have the’home ice advantage of “calling it in the air” against Barry, who brought in the least. Radar got the home edge against Steve, and I got the home edge against Dan. After all the logistics were worked out (game sites, designated coin flippers, etc.) the games got underway. 1, of course, knocked off Dan 3-0, scoring on a head and a tail, and then another head. Steve beat Radar 2-1, using two tails for his two wins. Van rolled over Barry 2-1, scoring otv two heads, while losing to Barry’s tail. Since Dan had the worst record in the preliminary round, he was immediately eliminated from further competiton (he was seen later in his room, teary-eyed and red-faced). I, being the big winner, earned a bye in the next round, leaving matchups between Van and Radar and Steve and Barry. From here on, best-of-sevens were the rule, and it was no surprise when Radar used 6 tails to beat Van 4-2 in the first round. Steve disposed of Barry in five rounds, going tail-head-head-head-tail, and losing only with his head in the third flip. In any case, that left Steve, Radar, and me in the semifinals. A three way round-robin tournament ensued, with the top two finishers to meet in the finals (Radar suggested that we go right to the finals, with himself taking heads, me taking (aits, and leaving the side of the coin for Steve. But somehow his idea never got off the drawing board.). In the first best-of-seven, Steve beat me 4-3, closing with three wins on consecutive tails. Radar also beat me 4-3, ruining a three point head-tail-head comeback by me. So, the finals came down to Radar and Steve. I went upstairs but only after denting all the Red and White cans in the house. The finals were a rout for Steve. He used tail-head-tail and tail for a 4-0 sweep and the championship. Cheering madly, he went over to the table to pick up his prize money -that bright, new silver dollar which the girls from Super Duper had given us. But something happend. Steve couldn’t pick up the dollar. He started gnawing at it with his teeth. He had to have it. He broke all his fingernails trying to pick it up, but it wouldn’t budge. He was still trying to pick it up when I left to write all this, and'I bet he’ll still be there when I get back.

Monday, 18 April 1977 . The Spectrum . Page nine �TRB He slipped in quietly, unannounced, and before we knew if or could rise in the usual courtesy gesture of the press for the President, was standing behind the lectern in the White House briefing room. Mr. Carter said he had a couple of announcements to make and would answer “a few questions.” Close to him. like that. I notice how ruddy his face is, how worn and lined, how different at close range from the caricaturists’ stereotype; there is a quiet, agreeable directness; no toothy grin at all. His face always reminds me somehow of Eleanor Roosevelt’s. There’s a lot of determination in it, not to say obstinacy. This is about the three months' point where the real administration of a new president begins. The public likes a new president; there's always a post-election elation over a new figure, a period of symbolic gestures—a general feeling of, closing ranks round the new elected king. The penalty of all the power we pile on a president is that it normally promotes a counter desire to destroy him; we haven't reached that stage yet. The present stage is that Mr. Carter has got to stop grandstanding now and get down to business; he rrpist come to grips with some of his hardest domestic decisions, every one of which will alienate a section of the electorate. He's not running against the Washington .establishment now, he is the establishment; all those silly promises to cut the White House staff, to reduce the Federal Agencies from 1900 to 200. had betterbe moth-balled. He has the energy program in Congress next week, and he has the fight to get his economic package-already there and the battle to halt inflation. The real Carter administration is just beginning. This impromptu press conference was primarily about energy, in particular about international nuclear energy. Nearly everything that happens in Washington has elements of irony, sometimes laid on so thick you. can hardly bear it. Do you remember, 10 years ago. how nuclear energy was going to solve the fuel problem? In 1966 a report in the Wall Street Journal carried forecasts that there would be “almost limitless supplies of power from nuclear plants, expected eventually to be the cheapest source of energy almost everywhere on the globe." Maybe in another 10 years that will be in style again. But Jimmy Carter now was warning the nations of ■the world to lay off plutonium power, and above all the breeder-reaction process, and announcing that the United States was waiving it and preparing to puts its nuclear wastes in safe storage somewhere (where they will remain lethal for thousands of years.) It just happens that fate tapped Jimmy Carter to take over the U.S. energy problem, to see if he can get America to make the sacrifices that have been made and to persuade it to change its lifestyle. His two predecessors flubbed it. Nixon said the problem was “solved:” Ford accepted the advice of the same conservative experts who brought him to election day with the biggest, longest most serious recession since 1930. It's a particularly tough problem for the President because the energy shortage isn’t immediately evident; anybody with the money can buy all the gasoline he or she wants; cost around 60 cents a gallon, half the price of gas in England. Germany and Japan, a third of that in France. So the first question is whether it’s an “emergency.” For this I offer a familiar figure bending seriously over a table before,the Senate energy committee recently; a man with a slight accent, Henery Kissinger. He’s accepted the chairmanship of the “Alliance to Save Energy” and he appeared to testify looking sober, serious and weighty, without the slightest touch of his customary wit and humor. If you can stand a few statistics, here’s what he said: with only six percent of thex world’s four billion people the U.S. now consumes one-third of its energy (yes. a third)., A U.S. citizen uses eight times more energy a year than his world neighbor. Projected trends indicates reserves of oil and natural gas will run out by AD 2000 with prices already quintupled. He quoted planners as saying that “at least 40 percent of the U.S. energy consumed in 1975 could have been saved through improved operating and Sub-Board I, Inc. ,main(£MQC£ efficiencies. And he called it solemnly, the most critical'challenge facing the U.S. today. Henry Kissinger is only a stage prop for the battle now beginning, the real question is whether the new American president, as a leader, can lead. Can he spend his newly accumulated popularity for national objectives in Congress and buy them at the right price? This includes his economic objectives, his anti-inflation package, his labor tax. ti}riff proposals and all the rest of it. I have anotion he can, if he’s careful, and if h6 abandons any idea he may have of a confrontation with the Democratic majority in Congress and of “appealing over its head” to the public. His jow now isn’t confrontation: it’s compromise, persuasion and guileful strategy. The real test of Mf., Carter is beginning. So far as he has gone the President strikes me as being a middle-of-the-road moderate with occasional surprising populist overtones and an incalcuable penumbra of Bible Belt moralism. Whether the latter is an asset or a liability remains to be seen. So far he has gone just far enough to encourage the liberals, and held back just far enough to please the conservatives. Howjlifficult he is to forecast was shown in the Moscow SALT proposals where the die-hard hawks led by Sen. Henry Jackson first emotionally denounced, then praised, negotiator Paul Warnke. Actually, U appears Mr. Carter offered the Russians extremely toughtterms, for good or ill. On the energy crisis we think Mr. Carter is going to throw everything he has into explaining to the public the fix we’re in and what he proposes to do about it and how he plans to equalize the inevitable sacrifices. If he’s not tough enough he may see the American energy joy ride go over the cliff; if he’s too tough he can bring back recession. America’s undisciplined lifestyle is in transition; the 70-mile-an-hour highway, and the 70 degree home, are on their way out it appears. We assume the administration will aid lower income groups threatened by higher energy costs by offsets in prices and taxes. We assume it will make available credits for the vast cost of switching from oil to coal, or to other fuels. We assume there will be some honey for business, too, as there was in the pending economic stumulus package. Here as elsewhere a Carter-style approach seems to be shaping.

The Spectrum Monday, 18 April 1977 . , — �Frankensteim? Committee examing genetic experiments Will genetic engineering become the boon or bane of (CPS) mankind? Are scientists opening a pandora’s box of future horros? Or will the world someday draw from a gene bank, similar to author Robert Heinlein’s thoughts of a future age? The international Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU), prompted by the thought of modem-day Frankensteins, recently established a committee to monitor the development of many types of controversial genetic reserach. Called the Committee on Genetic Reserach (COGENE), it is designed to serve as a non-governmental, interdisciplinary source of advice for scientists around the world who are interested in genetic research. The committee will also serve as a watchdog to guard against research it feels does not have adequate safeguards. Although it has no legal authority itself, the committee will try to thwart wayward scientists by publicizing their research or even by seeking legislative curbs. At a recent symposium held at the California State University at Chico, panelists argued whether the benefits of genetic research outweighs the risk involved! Doctor Michael Abruzzo, a teacher of human genetics, pointed out one of the more terrifying aspects of hew genetic creations, a bacteria which, after a round of manipulation, could be immune to any controls and escape from a laboratory, infecting the human population. — Ethical questions One the other hand, Abruzzo defended future research by saying that it one day could lead to such benefits as a cure for cancer. He told the audience that it was now scientifically possible to transfer genes from one organism to another. However, he does not anticipate any attempts to develop total human beings, completely engineered by genetics. Questions of the ethical, legal and political spectrums were raised during the discussion with no concrete answers. What are human beings on the way to becoming? What are the public’s rights to protection from scientific research? Should we put a check on hospitals, universities and private firms,presently active in genetic reserach? COGENE may, in the course of its analysis of genetic research, touch upon these questions. Committee organizers indicate they favor continuation of research and stress it will be objective in studying genetic engineering’s hazards and effects. Two years ago, American scientists called for a moratorium on one recombinant DNA research so that the form of genetic inquiries involved could be and national established. In analyzed guidelines risks June, the National Institutes of Health issued the guidelines that banned certain types of research involving hazardous organisms. It also called for strict safeguards for laboratories. However, these guidelines only apply to those operations supported by the federal government. — — Patrick clashes with courts by Carol O’Connor and Helaine Lasky (CPS) Ted Patrick, a middle-aged man who specializes in “deprogramming” young religious converts for fees ranging from $1000—$3500, was ordered March 27 to pay a $1000 fine and to finally serve out at least part of a suspended one-year jail term. “This is a case where an individual has sought to take the law into his own hands,” Judge Zita — — — Weinshienk of Denver District Court said as she sentenced Patrick before a courtroom sparsely filled with reporters, photographers, some members of the Hare Krishna sect and about ten other “interested” people. “If Patrickfeels the law isn’t proper, his recourse isn’t to do as he has done but to get the legislature to change the law,” Weinshienk instructed. His sentencing stems from an April 1974 trial in Denver in which Patrick was convicted of a misdemeanor charge of false imprisonment of two young women who weren’t following their parents’ Greek Orthodox beliefs. The two women are Seventh Day Adventists today. Patrick received a suspended one-year jail term and a suspended $1000 fine with the condition that he not engage in any more deprogramming. HOwever, while still on probation from Denver, Patrick was convicted in Orange County, California, of false imprisonment of a 19-year-old Hare Krishna member. -Although the California Court only sentenced him to 60 days for the offense, Patrick volunteered to spend additional time in jail there under the belief that he would be owrking off his Colorado sentence. ' , Opportunism The absolute maximum amount of time Patrick wilj spend in jail in Colorado is 144 days since Weinshienk chose to give him “credit” for the time he served in California on a work-release program. While being escorted to the Denver County jail, reporters onlookers, Patrick told and “Deprogramming is legal and if pressure hadn’t been put on the district attorney and the courts in this state, 1 wouldn’t have been convicted.” When asked if he would continue his deprogramming efforts once he was released, Patrick quickly answered, “Yes.” Greta Heiser, Colorado director of the Alliance for the Preservation of Religious Liberties, was disappointed with the sentencing. Her group had sent letters to Judge Weinshienk urging that Patrick serve the maximum sentence allowable. She likened Patrick to “an opportunist preying on the fears and uncertainties of parents concerned with the welfare of their children . . . what most people don’t realize is that there are cases of deprogrammers getting ahold of people to deprogram them out of Judaism and Catholicism.” Torture tactics She angrily branded Patrick’s deprogramming techniques as “the same techniques used on American servicemen during the Korean War,” and then cited a statement Patrick made March 12 in San Diego, Calif., in which he said “If people do chanting we don’t allow them to chant. If people do meditating we don’t allow them to meditate. If their religion involves a Bible we take the Bible away.” People “deprogrammed” by Patrick have indicated that his tactics also involve sleep deprivation, the denial.of food and drink as well as physical and verbal abuse. In a sworn affidavit, David Hauswirth, 26, an Old Catholic priest, stated, “1 was harassed for 13 or more hours per day about my religious beliefs and not permitted to sleep on various occasions when I wanted sleep. I was not permitted to perform any worship.” Hauswirth states that he was threatened with “commitment to a mental institution if I did not cooperate and renounce my religion.” The 19-year-old Hare Krishna member, Joanne Bradley, who brought charges against Patrick and his deprogrammers in Orange County, Calif., that resulted in his second conviction confirms that Patrick’s tactics are designed to promote fear. “Grabbing me and throwing me against the wall gave me bruises all over my body. Using foulest language imaginable and condemning believers in God, they told me over and over again that they would keep me until 1 was forced to eat meat (against her beliefs), have sex, take drugs and learn to gamble,” she told the court in a sworn statement. Drawing the line “They treated me like an animal. When I told tm I was pregnant they were merciless and didn’t care, saying that I must stay there with them,” her statement continues. Patrick has been banned from Canada for his efforts there to deprogram a Catholic. A former member of Ronald Regan’s task force on Watts, Patrick is proud of his nickname “Black Lightning” and describes himself as a “Black fundamentalist Christian,” who only wants to help parents and children unite. In an angry letter to the Queens County District Attorney, The New York Civil Liberties Union, questions what criteria should be used for determining who should be deprogrammed. “And (would what about political activity? prosecutorial intervention have been justified) against the Youth International Party in 1968, if Jerry Rubin’s parents or Abby Hoffman’s parents had complained to your office about the behavior of their offspring? Do you think Charles Colson’s parents might have a legitimate complaint about their son’s radical religious conversion following the Watergate scandal? Do you think it is possible that he was brainwashed?” As the sheriffs escorted Patrick through the darkened halls at the Denver City and County building, one Hare Krishna devotee turned to a reported and said, “You know the Hare Krishnas have never done anything to harm him. Isn’t there a better way for the man to ijjake a living?” ... Horror stories To promote safety techniques in the field of DNA research, COGENE will offer training and education programs in the U.S. and Western Europe. A professor of biochemistry from the University of Spend this HUB a. Miami pointed to the need for such a program by saying that DNA reserachers do not require elaborate facilities to conduct experiments and are not adequately trained in safety techniques. New York Tech... Although some, frightened by science fiction-type horror stories, would like to see all research stopped, members of ICSU feel that this extremely important work ought to go on. “We all feel that this is a field of great promise for the future,” one member said.

Here at When thel Buffalo Lacrosse Buffalo it has gained popularity Club opens up its home schedule over the past few years. today against Monroe Community College (Rotary Field, 3 pm), a Score not indicative In the Bulls’ opening game key factor in the Bulls’ success will be their experience. With this against Oswego on Saturday, the year’s lineup returning almost stick handlers were defeated 14-3, entirely intact from last year, it’s but the game indeed was much a sure bet that this will be the closer than the score suggests. On stick-handlers’ finest season. two goals by Simon, the Bulls , Led by fourth year coach were on top 2-1 at the end of the Professor Perry Hanson, the 1977 first period. Stunned by the Bulls’ campaign promises to be both team play, the Great Lakers fruitful and hard-hitting. Assistang rallied back and went ahead 5-2 at Hanson will be player-coach Gary halftime. When the third quarter PasSer. Other returnees include ended, Oswego still had not pulled Frank Massaro, Steve Hackling, Rolland Garrow, George Talboys, Jack Simon, Herb Roisman, Rich Morgan, Jeff Reiss and Don Lund. The lacrosse Bulls’ biggest asset is their togetherness and team play. The sticksters work as one cohesive and anyone unit associated with the University is eligible to participate. Since lacrosse is a club sport rather than a varsity sport, there is a very relaxed atmosphere surrounding the team. Practices are fun but they are indeed mandatory. away from the determined Bulls. Oswego led 7-3 as Garrow scored Buffalo’s lone goal of the period. It was only because of club policy that the final score was inflated so much. For the last and final period Hanson cleared his bench and everyone on the squad got their chance to play. So for three full periods the sticksters played very well against a stronger Oswego varsity team. Goalie Talboys looked impressive with 38 saves. “We definitely scared them,” said senior Roisman. He added, “Knowing that we played that well during the first half, I think we can go undefeated the rest of the season.” Revised finals schedule The final exam schedule for the spring semester has been slightly modified. Final exams will be held Thursday, May 19, through Thursday, May 26. The dates May 19 and 20 were previously reserved for reading days, but various constituencies of the University have agreed that the exams should begin the day after the final day of regular classes.

Record (including only games against four-year schools): 6—7. Before Sound Guard, the only way to prevent your records from wearing out wasnotto play them. Practice makes perfect there Currently, are twenty-five players on the team’s roster and the sticksters’ goal for the season is to have everyone play in each and every game. But of course playing time is contingent upon practices. One facet of the Bulls’ schedule will be their competition against both club and varsity-oriented schools. Sporting a seven game schedule, the sticksters will be taking on the likes of Monroe Community College, Niagara University, Oswfego State, Eisenhower College and the Kenmore Lacrosse Club. Lacrosse is a game of quickness and agility. Similar to hockey, it is a hard-hitting contact sport. With ten players manning the field (3 midfielders, 3 attackrhen, 3 defensemen and a goalie), only the midfielders are able to roam the field freely. Substitutions for the midfielders are made while the ball is in play, similar to front lines in hockey. The object of lacrosse is to Score more goals thSn your opponent. This is achieved by a strong running and passing attack, by use of long thin sticks with nets attached to them. A fundamental quality which all good lacrosse players master is the picking up of ground balls. This is essential in lacrosse if a team is to win The game is also broken down into four 15 minute periods of non-stop running. Originally conceived by the Iroquois Indians, lacrosse has The villain behind this time significantly retarding destruction is friction.

Believe it or not, they had never seen gum or shorts before. Many of their wrestlers were in the army and while they laughed at our shorts we kidded them about their brush haircuts.” The two teams competed in an outdoor arena where thousands of people had gathered. Anderson conceded that ‘the trip was worthwhile because he had never been to a communist country before and because the trip enabled him to meet some “good friends.” But the most important notion Anderson brought back from Bulgaria Was that, “I appreciated America more.” And what about Buffalo’s wrestling squad next year? “There will be an upturn next year; we can’t miss. We have so much talent there’ll be very few if any weak spots,” he said. “The guys on the team are refined and they are the nicest bunch of guys we’ve ever had.” Anderson concluded, “It has been great competing against the nation’s top schools. We’re always knocking on the Top Twenty door; next year we’ll close the door behind us.” But there are many aspects about this University which has soured him. With a trace of sarcasim Anderson stated that the University is run more like a business than a place of higher learning. He equates the campus to a factory where “people come and go, and are never seen again.” Anderson also expressed his concern about the students at this University. “It’s good to be united, but the people here have no community spirit. They don’t anything., k’s come to unfortunate but most people have no interest in anyone but themselves.” Anderson further added that “it hurts, because people here argue over petty things. People dwell upon the negative when there are a lot of good things happening at this University. A lot of good just isn’t seen,” he added. Besides being the Bulls’ top grappler, Anderson is also reknowned After nationally. placing third in the United States Junior World Freestyle Wrestling Championships last year, he toured Bulgaria last summer. His Bulgarian experience enhanced his outlook on American life. Different outlook “In Bulgaria, the people survive at a lower economic level.

HFA slow in getting to Amherst financier Although prospects for local banks to purchase the $3 million in short-term notes required to resume Amherst construction “look promising,” the Housing Finance Agency (HFA) has been late in sending lists of agreement terms to the banks, delaying a final decision. Last month HFA was given the responsibility of drawing up and sending formal financing proposals to the banks. Though banks had expected to receive their terms by March 30, which would have enabled them to announce a final decision by April 8, communications from the HFA to the banks have reportedly come on or after the second April 8 deadline. Marine Midland Vice President Donald Cielewich indicated his bank had received word as late as April 11. Andrew Craig, President of M&T said he also had been notified “within the last few days.” These and other banks have been holding internal meetings to decide whether the bonds are a good investment, but the decision process has been hampered because bank officials were without a complete list of HFA’s agreement terms. Officials have been forced at certain points to call Albany to clarify their position. The marketing of $3 million in bonds in the Buffalo area is a prerequisite for an additional $13 million to be released on the State level. The State Division of Budget (DOB), which markets all State bonds, imposed the April 8 target date for a final decision in hopes that all future State construction bonds would be floated simultaneously Amherst bonds included. One administrator here said, “This being the case, we don’t have much time left.” “This delay is not the fault of the banks,” said University President Robert Ketter. “It’s a result of HFA being lackadaisical.” Ketter also said that since this University must secure local support the State floats its bonds, and before the construction season begins, time is running out on chances for financing new Amherst building, this year. “We’re pushing our luck if we don’t break ground soon,” said Ketter. He indicated HFA Has been recently contacted and urged “to get on the stick.” -Tom Batt ‘ r — Revolution lecture Dr. Paul Devendidos will lecture on the American Revolution this Monday at 8 p.m. in the Norton Conference Theatre. “Revolutionary The Case of the American Expectations Revolution” will comparatively detail the nature of revolution. — Page two The Spectrum . .

Student Association (SA) President Dennis Delia and Men’s Athletic Director Ed Muto are currently trying to secure funding for the program from the University of Buffalo Foundation. In the past, the status of the athletic budget was a subject of debate and uncertainty. But last month, SA passed an amendment which guarantees a fixed amount of money to the Athletic Department over the next four years. It is believed the four-year commitment to athletics will give the Athletic Department enough stability to earn the support of the UB Foundation. It was suspected that the Foundation did not want to make a large commitment to a program whose existence from year to year could not be guaranteed. Delia and members have met several times already and are scheduled to meet again next week. It is possible that an announcement regarding the status of football could be made as early as April 21 at the University’s athletic banquet. Low-level start Buffalo would compete on a Division III level, the lowest NCAA level. Canisius College also competes on the Division III level, while Niagara University supports a club team. Scheduling for next year could be a problem, since most schools make their athletic schedules two years in advance. However, Oswego recently dropped their football program, creating some openings on which Buffalo might be able to capitalize. Another problem Buffalo might face is the condition of the stands at Rotary Field. The West stands (closest to Clark Hall) were declared unsafe last year. The east stands, which seat approximately G.OOO- people. are still useable. Still another obstacle that would have to be resolved is the lack of locker room space. Clark - Gerry Philbin A COLLEGE RING. It’s a symbol for life Hall’s locker room is quite small, and the visitor’s locker room is definitely not big enough for a 40-man football team. One of the reasons football was dropped as a varsity sport in 1970 was that it had grown to Ipe too large, and was crowding some of the other sports out of Clark Hall. Uniforms, coaches available The uniforms and equipment from that last team were kept and are still available for use. The University would also be able to find a coach right on its own staff, thereby reducing the need of paying another coach. The most often mentioned possibility is moving golf coach Bill Dando to head football coach. Dando is the only remaining coach from the 1970 University of Buffalo football staff (he was linebacker coach) and was also head,football coach at John Carroll University. If Dando heads the football team, Muto will probably take over as golf goach. • Nothing specific has been determined about assistant coaches, although again, possibilities could come out of Buffalo's current coaching staff. Football was first played at Buffalo in 1894. but was cancelled in 1903. It was reinstated in 19J5,and with the exception of the war years, remained a varsity sport until 1970. Buffalo, competed in the ECAC’s “Major” division (now equivalent to Division I) after 1962. In those years, Buffalo produced several professional ballplayers, including former Miami Dolphin quarterback John Stofa and AFL All-Star tackle Gerry Philbin. In 1968 and 1969. Buffalo finished ninth in the voting for the Lambert Trophy, symbolic of Eastern football supremacy. Buffalo was on regional television at various times and played some of their games at War Memorial Stadium, drawing a crowd of 20,694 against Virginia Military Institute in 1964. As a small college, Buffalo was selected U> participate in the Tangerine Bowl after an 8-1 season in 1958, when they won the Lambert Cup, given to the top Eastern small college. Meetings planned to avert a CSEA strike Unless an agreement is reached on terms for a new contract at meetings scheduled for (his afternoon and over the weekend, there will be a Monday morning strike by the Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA). Board (PERB) asked The Public Relation Employee to meet this afternoon at 3 p.m. representatives of the State and CSEA in Albany. CSEA President Theodore Wenzl termed this move “last minute grandstanding” on the part of the state adding that if the state were seriously interested in sovling the dispute, the meeting would have been held yesterday instead of today. If nq settlement is reached the strikers will begin picketing at 6 a.m. Monday morning, CSEA regional spokesman Al Mrozek reported. Not only will the University be affected in the event of a strike, but so will most other state installations in the area including Roswell Park Buffalo Psychiatric Hospital, Unemployment Insurance Offices and Motor Vehicle Bureau offices. Director of State Operations Robert Moragado has already ordered department and agency heads to develop contingency plans tor maintaining services in the event of a strike. CSEA has also been conducting meetings witli its various units and departments spelling out procedures to be followed during the strike. The informational meetings should be completed by today, according to a union spokesman Wednesday Governor Carey offered some 8000 “management confidential” employees a five per cent raise. A CSEA spokesman considered the offer an “obvious ploy” designed to blunt the impact of Monday’s threatened strike. “Management confidential” employees perform jobs similar to those of the 141,000 members of CSEA, but they are not represented by the union because of the sensitive nature of their jobs. The CSEA spokesman said the governor was offering the raise to these people to induce them to man state facilities in case of a strike. Friday, 15 April 1977 .

I don’t want to see socialism in my lifetime, so hopefully this organization can look into this and other issues and see what Carter plans to do.” Johnson hopes that the group will expand soon to other points in Nebraska and then nationwide. “This is very exciting to me,” he commented, “because it’s my first real experience in politics.” An exporter handed his truck and $34,931 worth of television sets, radios, stereo speakers and CB radios over to Customs when officers discovered that the undeclared merchandise was hidden beneath cages of chickens.

Kitchen at the employees University of California get $2.84 an hour. Central Missouri State and NMSU students receive $1.96 an hour. “Most colleges pay minimum wage or less,” said a Dept, of Labor spokeswoman. Explained an NMSU director of financial aide; “We used to pay minimum until wage sub-minimum came in.” by Daniel W. Lindley Special to The Spectrum Low wages still (CPS) provide student employees food for thought, but a continued high unemployment rate for collegians is leaving them without much gristle to grind in demands for more money. Meanwhile, universities financially-strapped are not promising students high salaries, at. least while they are in school. “It’s not that we feel students aren’t worth $2.30 an hour,” commented President Charles McClain of Northeast Missouri State University. “To date, we have a fixed number of dollars to spend. We just feel we should make the funds available for more students.” NMSU student workers now receive $1.96 an hour. Officials at Western Washington State College find themselves similar a in predicament now that Washington Gov. Dixie Lee Ray has ordered expenditures and hiring cut at state agencies. Students working academic in security, departments, and the library there probably will lose their jobs. State College Washington President Paul Olscamp said that he did not wish to fire the students. However, he did not want “to stop faculty and staff their means of paychecks — Union efforts Many student employees have discussed unionization. They rarely have acted on it. Often, there is much discussion and little time to act for the essentially transient workers as the school winds up and labor year conditions seem less agreeable.

Editor’s note: This is the first of a two-part series on pornography and the law. This article deals with the trial and conviction of publisher A! Goldstein. by Jay Rosen Staff Writer Spectrum Fifteen hundred miles fr his New York City home, publisher A1 Goldstein stood trial in Wichita, Kansas in connection with his sleazy Screw magazine, and was convicted on eleven counts of illegally using the mail system. Screw was never sold on Kansas newstands and had only fourteen mail subscribers in the state, four of whom were postal authorities using phony names. In Wichita, there was but one legitimate subscriber. A New York postal inspector, acting on orders from the United States Justice department, sent money and subscription forms to postmasters in four Kansas towns, late in 1974. Officials there using fake names sent in the forms. When the issues arrived in sealed envelopes they were sent back to New York authorities, unopened. In December« of 1974, Goldstein was indicted in Kansas. 3 photos $3.95 4 photos $4.50 each additional with original order $.50 — — — Reorder rates: 3 photos $2.00 $.50 each additional 355 Norton Hall All photos available for pick-up on Friday of-week taken. -continued on page 6- AT COLVIN EXIT OF YOUNGMANN So. 4849 Broadway - in Depew TONIGHT Saturday - — Lee Cl|u's Res|aiufti|t — FREEZE Succulent Roast Duck (Peking Style) LARGEST SELECTION BETWEEN NEW YORK & TORONTO SUNDAY; FAMILY DAY Warlocks Sunday 805 (formerly harpy) Every Monday is College Night FEATURING THE MUSIC OF SIX - \ We offer you the finest Chinese Food in this area.

Postal officials made use of an archaic law known as the Comstock Act, which prohibits the mailing of obscene materials. The law was the work of Anthony Comstock, a nineteenth century conservative who secured its passage in 1873, and personally enforced it with a dedication that bordered on lunacy. According to Playboy magazine, Comstock “traveled the country seizing and destroying tons of books of ‘improper character’... In 1913 he boasted of having convicted 3600 persons and of having driven at least 15 to suicide.” Comstock died in 1915, in the midst of prosecuting William Sanger for mailing a family planning book. Comstock had ordered the book under a fictitious name. - t -M TAKE OUT & FREE DELIVERY FOR PARTIES 224y Colvin Ave. V. N.Y, Tonawanda, 14150 Phone 835 3352 COCK ROBIN FOOSBALL TABLES!!

California university turns to solar energy (CPS) At California State San Jose (SJSU), University donnitory administrator William Schooler simply got fed up with paying high utility rates. Schooler turned to Dr. Donald Aitken, head of the six-month-old SJSU Center for Solar Energy Application, for help. They came up with a pioneering plan to install solar water heating units in three SJSU residence halls. To save money and provide practical experience to students, they would create a solar workshop. Under the guidance of Aitken and grad student Jim Altman, who supervises the construction staff of 15 undergraduates, solar energy units have been built and installed on each building. In June, when the program, dubbed Sunshower,” is “Project completed, 600 students will be using hot water heated without cost by the magnification of the sun’s rays, Altman said. environmental Altman, an studies graduate student, believes the SJSU project is the largest student-built solar water-heating development ever. It is budgeted at a surprisingly low $125,000, as compared to a similar project developed by contractors for a Georgia school system at a cost of $1 million.

Project Sunshower itself looks like the prototype for much '-greater use of solar power in the California State University system. Aitken hopes a successful Sunshower demonstration will encourage the university to use solar methods to heat many of the system’s buildings. officials, who University approved the Sunshower proposal of Schooler and Aitken last summer, have already taken the bait. Beyond agreeing to finance the library’s solar energy plant, the officials may extend the current plan to include another three dormitories and a 12-story residence hall at San Jose before expanding the project to other campuses. The current project is budgeted for $125,000, said Altman, but in 11 years that much will have been saved. By 1997, Schooler said the Page six . The Spectrum .

One increasingly important job of The Spectrum, therefore, will be to maintain student interest in all that Buffalo has to offer- He thinks that this city is going through a “cultural rebirth” which must be encouraged by more money, more participants and more publicity. He wants year’s newspaper to include rpore continuous issue-to-issue campus coverage, more varied and even “off the wall” feature writing, and a city and national desk that will involve itsel in local politics and national news analysis. “I am almost convinced,” he says, “that the only newspaper, if any newspaper, that most students read is The Spectrum.

Friday, 15 April 1977 ie internal protection more woi ien trust �Students going into training for bout with unemployment by Bill McGraw Special to The Spectrum (CPS) — By most available evidence, it seems today’s students are literally lusting after work. Student papers from Maine to California are currently running article after gloomy article that list everything any self-respecting masochist would want to read concerning the grim, post-graduation job market. Similar stories are popping up in the nation’s daily media. University counselors report rising levels of anxiety among college seniors, perched as they are at the hairy edge of the real world, psychologically themselves for preparing their imminent encounter with “underemployment.” In another extreme example, business students at the University of Minnesota rousted their well-fed bodies from bed early one recent morning to line up for interview appointments with corporate recruiters. The school’s placement center didn’t open until 7 a.m. but some students actually fell into line before 3 a.m. This is no small change of events from, say, five or six years ago when some students were more apt to peg eggs at company talent scouts than to kiss their feet. So the casual observer, seeing these examples of the students kowtowing before the high alter of work might well gather young people have rolled up their sleeves and returned to the protestant work ethic fold. Little commitment But have they? Many probably even the majority students and young people are ready, willing and able to fall into any job they can find, work their tails off and put up with all the accompanying benefits and degradations. But at the same' time, millions of other young Americans of every race and background have decided the regular world of work is not for them. They do hold the occasional job the bills must be paid after all but their attitudes are considerably different than those of students who will join an interview line at 2 o’clock in ,the — — morning. “Young workers have little commitment to their job,” lamented one labor expert last spring in a long essay in National Observer. “They view with equal suspicion the business for which they work and the labor union which represents them.” The reasons for this negative attitude towards work are million people slipped under the poverty level, the largest single year increse in 17 years. Sociologist Murray Bookchin feels large numbers' of people “sense that society has developed technology a that could completely abolish material scarcity and reduce toil to a near vanishing point.” Since they feel this way, Bookchin argues, people are just refusing to give their all to the job. He sees this anti-work feeling “percolating downward from youth and the middle class to all strata of society . . . eroding the work ..ethnic and the sancity of property, slowly dissolving the individual’s obedience to institutions and authorities,” Bookchin points out this attitude surfaces in various ways: “among workers who engage in sabotage, work indifferently, practice almost systematic absenteeism, resist authority in almost every form, use' drugs and acquire insurance, for example, where benefits average $50 to $130 a week for over a year, can afford to live relatively high on the hog. Last year five million Americans collected $17.8 billion in unemployment; while in 1965 only $2.2 billion was handed out. “Unemployment creates a sort of utopia,” a young California man who described himself as an various freak,traits A group of insurance industry executives was also told the work ethic is crumbling last year in a report they had commissioned to help them prepare for the future. “More goofing off and more looking to the government and employers for financial security” were just two aspects of the modern day work situation the report cited to bolster its “actor-computer programmer” told The New York Times. “There are a million loopholes but most people aren’t smart enough or educated enough to find them. It lets people work for a year and be on vacation for a year. “Of course, you can’t live like a king,” the actor-computer programmer continued, “but it gives you a chance to travel around, and that’s the American Dream. There’s no law that says you have to work.” conclusions. Government hando.uts welfare, food stamps and unemployment insurance are the means by which many' non-workers finance their permanent vacations.

The delay by the Housing Finance Agency in communicating with Western New York banks on the terms fot purchasing $3 million in short term notes, which yvould permit the resumption of construction at the Amherst Campus, is inexcusable. HFA is responsible for marketing bonds to finance new SUNY construction, and although chances are still good that local banks will buy the bonds, HFA is needlessly dragging its feet. Local bank presidents indicated during the week that they had expected to receive a list of HFA's terms of agreements by March 30. Since HFA did not send out the terms until the middle of last week the process of marketing the bonds has been held up once more. Without falling prey to the regional boosterism that has marked this year's fight for SUNY construction dollars, we can only say to HFA officials that this Unviersity is at a crucial stage in its life, and that every delay in Amherst Campus construction is potentially disasterous. While local banks remain cooperative about backing the bonds, we think HFA ought to move quickly to acknowledge this sign of support for the University. Bring back football Last month, the Student Senate passed an amendment which guarantees a fixed amount of money to the Athletic Department over the next four years. The Student Assoication ordinarily spends upwards of $225,000 of the student activity fee to support intercollegiate and intramural athletics. It was expected that the stability this amendment lends to the athletic program would encourage the financial support from the UB Foundation and eventually lead to the reinstatement of varsity football. Although no agreement has been reached, the likelihood is excellent that some agreement with the Foundation will be announced this month. In other words, there is a distinct possibility that this University will be able to field a Division III football team next fall. We would like to offer our unqualified support to the the benefits return of an intercollegiate football program to the University would be many, and anticipated support from the UB Foundation would keep the cost minimal. But varsity football can become a reality only if the cooperation of the Ketter Administration is assured in overcoming several obstacles. The obstacles include needed repairs on the west stands of Rotary Field, installation of additional locker space, and the choice of a coach from either inside or outside the University. These must all be overcome with approval from University officials. Without their cooperation, reinstating varsity football will be impossible this year or next. — Friday, Vol. 27, No. 73 Richard Korman — — Bill Maraschiello Gail Bass Corydon Ireland Charles Greenberg . . . .John H.

Editorial policy is determined by the Editor-in-Chief ’age twelve . Could a band of terrorists, like the Hanafi Muslims who seized three buildings in Washington recently, create a nuclear device and blackmail an entire city and nation? The answer appears to be a - frightening ugly, yes. In as chilling a document as I have read, a Congressional Advisory group called the Nuclear Proliferation and Safeguard Advisory Panel, working on the problem for a year, has Come through with a 522-page report. Thomas L. Hughes, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, chairs the panel, which includes George Kistiakowsky, who helped build the first A-bomb, Alvin M. Weinberg, Institute for Energy Analysis at Oak Ridge, Theodore B. Taylor, Princeton, top nuclear weapons inventor, and others of similar weight. The report is cool and understated. It has a kind of simple, scientific authenticity of style. It carries a glossary at the end to explain things like “Fast Neutron” (A fast-moving, neutral . subatomic particle) and “Breeder” (A nuclear reactor that produces more fossile nuclear fuel than it uses to produce power). After reading the explanations you don’t understand it much better. But one thing appears over, and over which even the most ignorant grasps. It is later than you think. Yes, it says, “the appearance of increasingly violent and sophisticated terrorist groups has added another element of fear and uncertainty to the nuclear proliferation issue.” It imagines such a band of nationalists: “a group of perhaps a dozen well trained and very competent persons with experience in several fields of science and engineering. They would need the support of a modest, already established, scientific, technical, and organizational infrastructure.” It assumed that they would buy fissionable material on the gray or the black market, or steal it. Under such conditions they could put a “if these bomb together, says the report requirements are met and the program is properly objective might executed, the be attained approximately two years after the start of the program, at a cost of a few tens of millions of — dollars.” — .. ; Congress are mild, quiet men; matter of fact, very low-keyed. They urge Congress to enact stronger protection for the nuclear system. They explain that a bank of “non-state adversaries” (i.e. terrorists) seeking to make a bomb would need “only modest machine-ship facilities that could be contracted for Even with without arousing suspicion.” a “jack-of-all-trades” leader the attempt might well be a failure; on the other hand there is a “clear possibility that a clever and competent group could design and construct a device . A black market ? It is restrained at present by lack of supply, but widespread plutonium recycling . Result: a military effective nuclear explosive Suppose the group isn’t national; has less money is composed of fanatics, maybe, crackpots or criminals; the report discusses their chances, also. “At the low end of the minimal range of effort, a small group of people (possibly terrorists or criminals), none of whom have ever had access to the ; classified literature, could possibly design and build a crude nuclear explosive device. They would not necessarily require a great deal of technological equipment or have to undertake any experiments.” To be sure, it would be risky; “The group,” says To the Editor. 15 April 1977 . — TRB — could remove this constraint; the report says, “some demand appears to exist already as evidenced by Libya’s attempts to buy a bomb.” Most dangerous would be an international feeling that restraints were collapsing; that the present precarious structure of the world’s political system was coming apart. It is doubtful that even the United States could then reject authoritarian safeguards. Says the report grimly, there is “a widespread feeling that time is running out.” The lonely University The Spectrum Editor-in-Chief the report, “wou!4 have literature in several fields, and a ‘jack-of-all-trades’ technician . In these clumsy hands, the writers declare, “a member of the group might suffer serious or fatal injury. However, there is a clear possibility that a clever and competent group could design and construct a device which would give a significant nuclear yield.” Significant yield? Oh, say the equivalent of a couple of kilotons of dynamite. (Kilo, of course, equals 1000.) Enough to demolish lower New York. The report considers the world situation 35 years after that first chain reaction under the grandstands of the University of Chicago and the explosions in 1945 on Hiroshima and Nagasaki which Harry Truman said didn’t interrupt his sleep that night. Today six nations have the bomb; two dozen more have the economic and technical requirements to follow suit; others are straining to get the weapon and the wastes from nuclear plants to use to create light and power can be used to stuff bombs. How fast things move. It seems only yesterday (it was 1945) that by act of Congress Senator Brian McMahon tried to put the genie back in the bomb, “to preserve the secret and confidential charactef” of the process. He failed. Then in 1946 the U.S. proposed the “Baruch Plan” with bombs banned after an international authority was set up. The Soviets balked; they wanted all U.S. bombs destroyed six months after signing the convention. Irreconcilable differences developed. So here we are, today, with a new nuclear confrontation at Moscow. India has breached the barrier between the nuclear great powers and the rest of the international community. Will Brazil be next? Sometimes we have imagined that proliferation would come ' a long time in the future. “Some day,” we said. Has it come now? It still seems unlikely. Where, for example, would terrorist bands get fissionable material? “Theft is the most direct route to nuclear weapons,” explains the scientific panel quietly. It points out that “the psychological value of a successful theft would be considerable even if the weapon were actually unusable “A well trained Commando raid of about 8 or 10 attackers using an imaginative plan and assisted by insiders would be difficult to resist without rapid reinforcement.” The scientists who make their report to The Spectrum . Friday, 15 April 1977 After reading Beth Simon’s report on the panel discussion dealing with “foreign student loneliness” {The Spectrum, Monday, 28 March, 1977), I would like to make some comments on the discussion and Beth Simon’s report on it. First, it seems to me that one evades a more crucial question if one limits his analysis to “foreign student loneliness.” In other words, there is a godd possibility that such loneliness is only a reflection of if it as 'serious as reported a wider lonliness, one which englobes the whole University community with its American as well as foreign students. Second, in relation to the “theory” of the and “hypersensitivity touchiness” of foreign students, a theory which became a reality in the comments from t 1 audience when the discussion was opened to t) floor,” this might have been caused more by the refusal of the audience to have an “expert” (in this case Dr. Masling) tell them what they feel, and differentiate them from their American colleagues foreign students being always - — “ — treated as a special case. Third, the examples of Benjamin and of the “doctorate student from Nigeria who had been here for eleven years” appear to me as a bit out of the usual. That Americans in parties do not talk to foreign students sounds very absurd. Fourth, Beth Simon’s conlcusions or part of that if “this panel discussion accomplished nothing else, it made some foreign students aware of their common problems and common ne'eds [and] allowed them to release some pent up emotion which may help them in dealing with their Buffalo environment,” makes me regret having missed the discussion, for it seems to have been a good and free therapy to help me deal with the “Buffalo — — environment!!” Finally, I hope that this letter will not constitute the one more of indication “hypersensitivity and touchiness” of foreign students. Even though I believe that activities such as the panel discussion are done in good faith, I really think that the best way to help us, foreign students, is to forget about us and let us find out things ourselves. If we need help, psychomat is near. Tony Khater �Enjoyable concert To flic Editor Sunday night I attended a sacred concert in St. Joseph’s Church.

Tilling On cut library hours To the Editor. 1 would like to voice my opposition to the cutback of University library hours, particularly the Art Libary on the Amherst campus. This libary is essential to the education of all art students. The collection is most important as a storehouse of visual material which is a priceless supplement to classroom instruction. Along with this is the fact that many students are working on term papers and need all available hours possible to do quality research as part of class requirements. The Art Library is run efficiently and with ready willingness to help students with any questions. Any cutback on staff is going to lessen their ability to run. the library effectively and. to handle student needs. I ask in all sincerity that any staff reduction be reconsidered and postponed indefinitely. Thank you. William Blv Amherst coverage praised To the Editor Just a little note to let you know that I thought your coverage of the funding problems for the Amherst Campus (issue on Monday, March 21, 1977) was outstanding. The pieces by Tom Blatt, Fredda Cohen and the editorial really show how good a student newspaper can be. It our University community ever does unite to activly support the completion of the campus, then we will be indebted to you for clarifying the issues, and, thereby, making such a united action possible.

Mr. Baird could speak on abortion only in relation to his opinion of the Catholic Ch\irch. I discuss the issue from a non-sectarian scientific viewpoint, so there was not enough common ground for us to actually debate, but an interesting discussion did occur. I defended the Right to Life on a human rights issue. For my evidence that the unborn child is a human being I rely upon the wealth of scientific, biological and genetic evidence available worldwide. From the questions the audience put forth, few people had trouble accepting t le fact that new human life begins at conception. The stumbling block seemed to be whether or not there are times when an innocent human being can be killed. Very simply, we in Right to Life know that as long as we are literally sacrificing our children for convenience or money never have a peaceful world. The people who oppose Right to Life tend to fee! pro-life adherents have no respect for a woman’s right to choose or “right to privacy” or to women’s rights in general. On. the contrary, many of us are women, but all of us recognize that no society can truly be free when some have the “right” to kill children. Liberal, yes; free, no. We are concerned with human rights which includes and encompasses women’s rights. Right to Life proponents are sometimes pictured as a small minority attempting to force their morals on others. Yet our morals are the same which dictate that none of you Veaders can kill another without serious legal and social consequences. What we are saying is that all other people are protected by law from being killed by another and this right to life should again be restored THIS oue BUT PBHAVPZ TO 6Rlk)6 ATTeiOTia) » HIS OUM TAUK SH 010. M&s VO TH£V PO IT? to the unborn child Of course, abortions will always take place. All levels of homicide continue although the law forbids it. But the number of abortions will be reduced to their previous low numbers (1972 140 deaths resulting from all abortions in the entire United States) once the legal sanctions have been removed by the passage of the Human Life Amendment. Since the Supreme Court decision, three million babies have been killed along with some of their mothers through legal abortions. Our goal is to return to the states the criminal penalty for abortion, with the doctor responsible and the woman at worst the accessory but possibly — the victim. Abortion is a very lucrative business and all involved, except the mother, stand to lose financially as well as civicly when the unborn child is again legally protected. The Human Life Amendment will permit abortfon to save the life of the mother, a medical procedure which is within the Hippocratic Oath. This is a healing technique, intended to save at least one life, instead of losing two. Elective Abortion is the morbid invasion of the healthy woman’s body. If we are concerned about the woman in a distressing pregnancy, let us offer her positive support such as financial aid, adoption continuing education and social counselling, acceptance and compassion. If we are concerned about children, then let us make this a better world for them. Positive and practical measures can be taken such as health insurance for birth defects and more research into fetal development for diagnostic and healing purposes. We must recognize that the simplest and only solution to unwanted children is not for us to kill them, but for us to want them. To abort a child as an act of mercy or concern is as hypocritical as destroying a Vietnamese village to save it from communism. Yeanne Y.

In Brecht’s pocket as he spoke was a plane ticket; he left the U.S. that night. m OOKn FOR DISCOUNTS OFFERED TO STUDENTS, FACULTY AND STAFF THE STUDENT DIRECTORY The UB Theatre Department’s production of The Measures Taken is currently playing at the Theatre, Courtyard Pfeifer Lafayette and Hoyt, tonight thru Sunday and next Tuesday, April 19, thru Sunday, April 24; performances begin at 8 p.m. Director Saul Elkin feels that despite the central characters of the China-based story being four Communist the agitators, the once controversy play generated is misplaced: “Brecht intended it as a learning experience for both actors and audience. He wrote � several plays of this kind, calling them lehrstuecke in German, resemble, pieces.’ They ‘teaching the Jesuit instruction in fact, plays used to teach Christian — individual needs? Do they deliver the supplies or care for their comrade? “The people in the play which is meant to them as Marxist clearly feel that instruction collective needs matter more. But Brecht wants the audience to feel a little more ambiguous, I think. At one point, the play’s chorus the ‘Control Chorus,’ says 'We agree to this. ’ But we who are watching this do we agree?” As to which decision is eventually made, all it’d be fair to reveal is Elkin’s comment that “there’s an irony here: that is this practical Marxist Utopia there is still room for sentiment and love.” And another irony: that “this is a tragedy without a tragic hero, a Hamlet without Hamlet.” - — - - - Bentley: It would have been appropriate for Measures Taken to have appeared in the politically fervent 60’s; UB did mount, though, again under Elkin’s direction, Brecht’s A Man’s A Man then. “I could say we’re doing it now because it’s an important play by an important Dempsey which would be playwright true, but something of a copout.

(Asylum)' “Love is a nose and you’d better not pick it.” —Stephen Mueller After growing a few grey hairs trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with the cover, I flipped the contents onto the trusty turntable. The Jack-Of-All-Trades-of-L.A.-Rock, Andrew Gold, gives birth to his second child, a bouncing baby record that is immediately up for adoption by all. He plays all sorts of instruments, except the spoons, of course, (my brother Scott’s speciality) and his cohorts from L.A. contribute their own two cents, totalling about a quarter. Oh, sweet romance! Andy Gold is a seeming expert in the rising genre of Sarcastic Love Songs, the kind of thing 10CC and McCartney like to indulge in. I mean, did you ever hear one of those love songs where you didn’t know if the guy was dealing with a full deck? Jump on over to your other half’s balcony and careen these words to her (from the pen of Gold): On a summer night, when the stars are,bright. We 'll make a date and then we ’ll Go strolling and take a look at this romantic moon, You hear so much about. Bounding back from my speakers, I can hear echoes of Linda Ronstadt, or as she is known chauvinistically in my neighborhood, “The Piece,” but any beanbag knows Gold is her right-hand musician (ah, but what he does with his left one ...). Anything that rubs off her can’t be that bad and Gold rubs off well (wait, 1 didn’t say that!). I am happy to say that What's Wrong With this Picture? is a prize possession in the section where I shove my Eagles, Fogelbergs, Jackson Brownes and the likes. Yes! There is catchiness! Yes! There are some swirling slide solos! Yes! There are remakes (three of them!)! Yes! There is a song where Gold plays EVERYTHING, except with himself! These are me true trademarks of a nice, young L.A. boy whp’s out to urbanize the coun'try/rock/pop scene. Wonder Boy captures the sound of the artists he’s worked with and turns them into his own little pop hor d’oeuvres, which owes much to the Cuisine of Peter Asher, the producer. The instrumentation is virtually clean-cut, but I get the feeling that these guys had a helluva time making this record. Hey, just check out the array of songs they had to record the Sarcastic Love Song (“Hope You Feel Good”), the Upbeat-What-The-Hell-Did—I-Do? Love Song (“Must Be Crazy”), the Pseudo-Meaningful-Family Love and the Song (“Lonely Boy”) Rockin’-Get-The-Hell-Out-of-My-Life Love Song (“Go Back Home Again”). There is almost no love song genre left untouched. Andrew Gold has to record his Buddy Holly tune, so he picks a slow one this time, “Learning the Game,” which is saved from pretentiousness by the life preserver arranging and harmonizing. An ass-bumpin’ version of the ’50’s oldie, “Stay” (“Won’t you sta-a-a-a-ay, just a little bit longer...”), is stretched out to 5-minutes worth, a compulsive handclapper. The remake that can’t be beat on this vinyl package is the Manfred Mann goody, “Do Wah Diddy.” Twin riffing from Golden Boy and Danny the Kootch and what sounds like a mob singing the chorus make this a perfect choice for a Super Single. You and your loved one will be singing “do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do” all the way to the back seat of your car, for those who resort to the Fine Art of Parking, or the Classy Romantics, who prefer the privacy of their own homes (take yer choice, pardner). . Two cuts stand out as sweeping masterpieces, both soft, slow movers. “Firefly” is an acoustically-oriented piece: a simple, pretty ditty that features Andy playing the works. The album concludes with “One of Them is Me,” a strange, melodic ballad that builds magnificently in the home stretch of the song, the chords falling beautifully into each other. It concerns the protagonist’s uncertainty of his placement with a woman he loves. — One of them is me and I don’t know who, One of them is me and I don’t know who, Oh, look into my eyes, tell me what you see. One of them is me and I don’t know who. What’s Wrong With This Picture? is up there, folks, a contender for one of the Best (you never know). Andy’s got the Magic Hands and a sharp wit to back them up. Get on yer Vehicle of Transportation and pick up this top-notch collection of this artist’s full compass of excellence in pop/rock musicianship. Just stick to that age-old slogan: All that Glitters is Gold.

Name Name Age W _ _ Address City —State Zip University (USD) �* :etum to Forever, Musicmagic (Columbia) The jazz-rock world is once again in a frenzy, lands in this vein are constantly rearranging members of disintegrating into oblivion. It was not much of a surprise, therefore, that one of, if not the, most popular of these borderline jazz bands, Return to Forever, should undergo this inevitable evolution. Chick Cerea, keyboardist extraordinaire and founding father of RTF, brought down the ax on jwo “established” members and supposed friends, A1 DiMeola and Lenny White. The fact that Romantic Warrior, the quartet’s previous release, sold more copies than any of their other efforts, made me wonder what musicmagic Chick had up his sleeve. DiMeola is one of the best jazz guitarists around, and White is an excellent percussionist. At the time of the last LP, the band was tightening into a very cohesive sound,' but at the same time their musical compositions were just hinting of stagnation. Corea, sensing that the opportunities awaiting the quartet ahead were rapidly diminishing, dismissed two of the best musicians around, causing bitter feelings. When I first heard of this, I questioned Corea’s logic. After listening to the new Return to Forever perform on Musicmagic, I firmly believe that not only did he make the right move, but that he has created one of the finest jazz-rock albums to hit the market in recent years. Lenny White has been replaced by Gerry Brown on drums, and no loss of quality is audible. Brown has his own style, but it is very much in sync with the present RTF. DiMeola’s role was eliminated entirely. Chick retained Stanley Clarke on bass. Considering that Clarke co-produces much of RTF’s material and is probably the best composer in the group aside from Chick, the decision to keep him was inevitably affirmative. Corea’s longtime female friend Gayle Moran was added. Miss Moran has recorded previously with Corea on his solo endeavors, and her sugar-sweet vocals are the perfect complement to Clarke’s bassier voice. Her recent stint with the Mahavishnu Orchestra didn’t gain her all that much recognition, but in the present RTF, her vocals are used to their most advantageous extent. Joe Farrell, whose sessionwork credits are too numerous to list, plays sax and flute expertly. To fill out the band’s sound is a four piece horn section, comprised of John Thomas, James Tinsley, Jim Pugh, and Harold Garrett. The brassier sound in this chapter of RTF is Corea’s brainchild, adding much more arrangement possibilities and fullness of sound. “Hello Again,” composed and arranged entirely by Stanley Clarke, enlists his vocals beautifully. I’ve never heard him sing that well. The track is an excellent example of the fine production on this disc, engineered by Bernie Kirsch. Good horn solos are added to build dn the complexity of the sound. A brief piano interlude is followed by the title track,’ “Musicmagic,” opening with a typically Corea styled organ motif. The light, boppy sound of this jazzier number has Clarke and Moran trading off on vocals. The music on this cut, excluding Clarke’s vocals, is somewhat reminiscent of RTF’s earlier days with Flora Purim. “So Long Mickey Mouse,” the other Stanley Clarke composition, begins with a nice acoustic bass arrangement followed by the beautifully intertwined vocals of Mr. Clarke and Miss Moran. The mood is suddenly broken by horns, which, along with the bass and keyboards, are expertly woven by Stanley to form a web of orchestrated sound. “Do You Ever,” the only Gayle Moran composition, is a mostly acoustic piece, spotlighting her vocals alongside Corea’s masterful piano. The final song, “The Endless Night,” is quite possibly the best cut on the disc. A Corea composition, it’s orchestration, combined with the superb vocals, are overwhelming. Corea’s disposal of half his former band has worked. It may have caused bitter feelings within a previously successful group, but emotions within groups aren’t to be dealt with by critics. Basing my opinion solely on the latest work, I am convinced that the additions far outweigh the losses, giving Corea and Clarke the perfect opportunity to display their virtuostic abilities. This can be expressed perfectly by referring to the last sortg, “The Endless Night,” Paradise is gone Yet it can come back, hack again Returning to forever, forever, forever. Chick and Stanley have indeed returned, with a virtual jazz masterpiece. Their upcoming concert at the Century should not be missed.

A Philadelphia native, Priscilla has a voice that it would be shallow to call “thrilling,” and the power to put every ounce of her heart and soul into everything she sings. Wherever Margaret MacArthur goes from her old Vermont she makes new farmhouse, friends, won over by her skill on the mountain dulcimer and the shimmering, ethereal lap harp, and her own gentle way with a song. Most of her music is the folk music of Vermont, much of which she’s collected herself. She’s warm, charming, and a quietly great musician. Jonette Carter is the daughter of Sara and A.P. Carter, and the Carter Family (no relation to President Grits) was probably the most important group in the history of country music. (A.P. the wrote “Will Circle Be Unbroken,” “Wildwood Flower,” “Keep On the Sunny Side,” and many other immortal songs.) To hear Jonette is to find the roots of American music. The trip to the country prepared Milton Plesur, professor of History here since 1971 and a faculty member since 1952, has been elected vice-chairman of the Board of Trustees of Medaille College.

Throughout his teens, Dees musicianship flourished, enabling him to master lead guitar, rhythm guitar, bass, and piano, as well as musical styles ranging from jazz and R&B to rock. In 1974, Dees relocated to New York City where, through manager Tommy Mottola, he was introduced to Daryl Hall and John Oates. Since then, he has been touring with Hall, and Oates as their highly acclaimed bass player. Now with flip Shot Dees has attempted to strike out on his own Daryl Hall, who produced, arranged, played keyboards and synthesizers, in addition to co-authoring two songs and providing vocal support, made a significant imprint on this record. His vocal presence is more than felt; his background vocals and harmonies being on par with his work with John Oates, while Hall’s keyboard and synthesizer prowess continues to increase. Hall’s production seems somewhat reminiscent of Todd Rundgren’s production of War Babies. The instrumental mix is generally extremely complex with the use of special effects and studio wizardry at a maximum. Dees, who tends to accentuate his vocals, sounds at times like an American David Bowie. His phrasing and enunciation are patterned after Bowie’s, but Dees’ vocals contain the conviction and forcefulness that Bowie’s too often lack. Hip Shot is primarily a potpourri of rockers with an occasional ballad. “Out-A My Skin,” co-written by .Hall, is one of the best pure rockers I’ve heard in months. The musicians, Dees on lead and rhythm guitar, as well as bass, Hall on an electrifying synthesizer, Eddie Zyne on drums and Charlie DeChant on saxophone (both members along with Dees of Hall & Oates’ touring band) simply sizzle, creating the perfect backdrop for Dees’ and Hall’s vocals.

But it’s true, isn’t it? “Wouldn’t it be nice if we were older. .” After hat. I’m too old. “Sail on, Sail on, Sailor.” The words obtain and enrapture the feeling. The surfs up; the little deuce coupe just joined the Beach Boys. You can hear the concept of Holland in his voice and through his guitar. South African, Englishman, American Blondie Chaplin caught the wave, sat in his T-bird humming: “Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Barbara Ann.” It was quiet for quite a while. But now Blondie Chaplin has released a soul-o album. The idea propounded is to have fun and be nice. We all make the best of it. Seemingly tempted to fly into a devilish pop syndrome, Chaplin combines soul, rhythm and blues and rock ’n roll to sell the commodity of happiness. Slight tangent. One cannot sell happiness, can one? That question is as typically rehtorical as the record business can get. The eternal enigma is always present in foreboding form as a sort of Record Needle of Damacles: if one can transport the “enjoyment quotient” of rock ’n roll from the feeling within the artist to the recording studio to . the retail outlet to the home stereo, the artist has accomplished the nearly impossible feat of relating happiness. It is questionable whether the true “enjoyment quotient” ever reaches the stereo which houses one’s room. The marketing factor takes the surreality of fun away. And as much as the naive consumer can stand in virgin ignorance, the recording industry hangs the Record Needle of Damacles above the listener’s head. If you don’t buy the fun, you don’t get the fun. If you do buy the record the real enjoyment is diminished. Either way the artist and the consumer are somewhat prostituted. Chaplin, though, comes closer than any new artist 1 have heard to overcoming the wall between consumer and artist. His energy is like that of a superman, leaping and bounding over every rock ’n roll barrier to commune with the listener. The energy carried over is unabashed and pure, transforming the Needle of Damacles to a thing of power used to transmit the feeling of rock ’n roll. The album’s sounds are ever smoothly raucous and original. Standing on the shoulders of giants that preceded and influenced the singer/songwriter, Blondie Chaplin sounds like everyone, but by injecting his essence into each note, he breeds new sounds. The craft is more than mutation, it is creativity Songs like ’“Bye Bye Babe,” “Can You Hear Me” and “Crazy Love” admit this creativity to the listener’s ear. There is sould in the chorus of Venelta Fields and Clydie King. The backup blends with Kenny Gradney’s R&B bass structure while Chaplin’s guitar rocks with a roaming life of its own. Combining this mobility with the distinct and sjick string arrangements of Nick Do Caro finds the listener toe-tapping and foot-stomping to the melodies of pop. When pop rock is performed correctly, the result is the most pleasing form of enjoyment music can produce. The epitome of this melting pot of rock is showcased in the song “Lonely Traveler.” The tune is mellow enough for one to slip into a lackadaisical placidity yet the instrumentation is flexible and flashy to yield intense and intent pop-rock. When the pop chain of fusion breaks down, one is left with boredom. Two songs nearing this category are “Say You Need Me” and “For Your Love.” The reason for the lack of strength is simple, for the rock is not an integrated form of pop. R&B soul or blues is left alone with no backbone. But the album, aside from these two cuts is excellent. If this studio album is an indication of Blondie Chaplin’s energy, his pop-rock must be great in concert. * * * * * A similarly successful release regarding pop-rock is Micheal Frank’s Sleeping Gypsy. Did you ever hear of popsicle pop? Michael Franks is popsicle jazz a melting and icy refreshment, the sweetness of which remains even after the subject of your taste is consumed. Whether you bite off a lot’to chill your mouth or lick or suck the sweetness, you get quite a decent amount of satisfaction. Even before Franks’ hit of “Popsicle Toes,” the artist invented been popsicle jazz. He’s experimenting with that popular form of communication for four or five albums now. Sleeping Gypsy is his best effort to date. Being a connoissuer of popsicles, another metaphor is appropriate. Early FRanks’ releases were like Freeze Pops, the kind of frozen ice that comes in the plastic wrapping you have to squeeze before the pop comes out. The ice and the syrup separate, so the ice is eaten previous to the sucking up of the syrup. This happening is almost as upsetting as the popsicle falling off the stick. The product lacks cohesion. Franks’ last two releases. The Art of Tea and Sleeping Gypsy, are like the “Original Pop-side,” a product which is the ultimate in frozen ice ecstacy. Popsicle jazz is neon, electric and quick. You can’t think about one part of the whole, you must take the whole as a blend of good taste. But I’ll tell you a copyrighted recipe for the whole sweet goodie so you will know it when you hear it. At its base are the frilly trills of Michael Franks’ electric piano. Eluding long, banal notes and caressing others not whole or half in length, Franks touches spurts of quarter, eighth and sixteenth notes. Therefore, tunes like “The Lady Wants To Know” brush the ear softly so you want to keep hearing more. Popsicle jazz is light, Franks’ voice on “In The Eye of the Storm” takes on an eerie and icy quality which canges to haunting warmth. Percussion in this song of a human storm is appropriately chaotic as David Sanborn’s sax is the calm, balmy eye of the disaster. The focus of. the guitar touches on bits of bosanova, salsa and samba. For popsicle jazz to be fruitful, each instrument must be recorded with clarity; the product must not be hollow. The melodies and changes must be quick and crisp, though not brittle. The lyrics must be pleasant, as in “Don’t Be Blue”: — Love is almost like hide and seek The lyrics must be funny as the blues with a touch of irony on “In The Eye of the Storm”: I hear from my ex on the hack of my checks Get some love in you groove But hold me a while and I’ll hang up my guns. mom I know / Vc been flying too near the sun We'll move to the mountains, make love to keep warm Like two Little birds in the eye of the storm. Within last summer’s heat, 1 learned about popsicle jazz while sucking someone’s popsicle toes. U's better than the Hite Report; everyone should learn how. And Michael Franks’ Sleeping Gypsy provides the mood. Let two moths fly to cool on a popsicle. It’s satisfaction. And you thought you Harold Goldberg can’t gel no ... onka\ Baseball Bulls return, hopeful. from Florida by Joy Clark Assistant Sports Editor The baseball Bulls returned from their annual trip to Florida this week with their best record ever (6-7) and an optimistic outlook about the coming season. “We were very successful,” commented coach Bill Monkarsh. “I was happy in most respects.” The team that travelled to Florida this year was a marked contrast from last year’s. 24-15 team. Fourteen seniors graduated last year, leaving Monkarsh with a young, largely inexperienced squad. This trip showed Monkarsh the strengths and weaknesses of his new team. “I’m very optimistic about our defense, but we do need improvement on hitting and our pitching is not consistent,” Monkarsh said. The infield was the standout in Florida. John White and Mike Dixon at first, Mike Groh at second, Jack Kaminska at short and Ed Durkin at third were “terrific,” according to the coach. Groh and Kaminska turned 13 double plays and Durkin also made some fine stops. The outfield, with freshmen Jim Wojcik and Joe Vizzi, along with sophomore John Pederson, also played an outstanding aggressive defense keeping runners from taking an extra base. Search for consistency The hitting, said Monkarsh, was adequate. “We have to be consistent with men on base, and to get the big hit then.”Pederson led all hitters with an average of over .400, while Groh (.370) and Dixon (.360) followed close behind. Dixon also had four homers in Florida. The pitching staff did have some bright spots, including senior Bill Casbolt and junior Dave Borsuk. Sophomore Mike Betz came off a broken ankle to pitch a fine game the last day against Miami. But the pitching staff as a whole suffered from inconsistency. “We did not throw strikes consistently, and that led to most of our troubles in thf win-loss column,” said Monkarsh. In one game against the University Miami, the Bulls were leading, but then lost it when the Buffal pitchers gave up 8 runs on 6 walks. Most of the Bulls’ losses (6) came against that same Miami team. The Hurricanes had already played over thirty games, and were therefore in much better condition than the Bulls, who were just beginning their season. Also, “this was one of the best hitting Miami teams I’ve ever seen,” said Monkarsh. Among the Bulls’ wins was an 11-7 triumph over the Oneonta Yankees (a farm team of the New Yorl < Yankees). This trip was the first testing ground for the Bulls’ 13 freshme and, according to Monkarsh, they all passed the test. “Overall, tb freshmen handled themselves very well under pressure-packe situations,” said the coach. “It was a learning situation, as the entiyear will be.” Some of the rookies did especially well, including Viz Wojcik and pitcher Luke Owens. Mound important Barring injuries, Monkarsh can count on his defense and hitting, it will be pitching that determines the outcome of the 'll season, “i the pitchers can throw more consistently, then we can have a goo season,” said Monkarsh. “Our success depends on whether they cai throw strikes or not.” Another uncertain factor is the freshmen. "Hov they react to pressure will determine how well we do,” state< t Monkarsh. The Bulls open their season up North at St. John’s tomorrow. Tin Redmen defeated the Bulls last year in the ECAC playoffs, so this is grudge match for Buffalo. Monkarsh expects to start Casbolt in the first game of the doubleheader. Almost everyone from last year' powerful St. John’s team has returned this year and, as Monkarsh says “It’s always a struggle to win on the road. We have to get good pressurt hitting, good pitching and good defense to win.” Sunday they pla> Fairfield and Monday they visit Seton Hall. Friday, 15 April 1977 The Spectrum .

Journeyhas achieved* JOURNEY NEXT have had The Buffalo Braves and the basketball Bulls may not the 1976-77, but in city of seasons in outstanding basketball Lackawanna, just south of Buffalo, the Lackawanna High School (LHS) Steelers had a banner year. Coached by former Bulls star Bill Bilowus, who played for Buffalo from 1960-1965 (he missed one season due to injury), the Steelers this year amassed the best record in Western New York high school history with 24 wins and zero losses. Included in this unbeaten season was :j decisive win over the Ontario champion Oakwood Collegiate Institute, the capturing of the Section VI championship for the third straight year (Section VI includes Western New York and the Niagara Frontier), and the extending of the school’s unbeaten streak to 64 games. But the reason this season was something special was that the Steelers were the number one ranked high school team in New York State for the 1976-77 season, one of the few times that a Western New York team has achieved this distinction. Buffaloalumnus Bilowus, whose eight season coaching record at Lackawanna is 142-23 says that playing at the University of Buffalo helped to mold his own coaching philosophy. His collegiate coach, Len Serfustini, “believed in hard work and aggressive pldy” and he, too, tries to instill the importance of “hard work, aggressive defense, and pride” upon his players at LHS. “I never complement a player for his shooting,” he remarked. As a result his players are very unselfish in passing the ball to a teammate who may have a better shot. Evidence that Bilowus’ philosophy is working can be seen in the balanced team scoring, and in the team’s rebounding where they have outrebounded usually taller opponents by a 2-1 margin. Most coaches say what they admire most about the Lackawanna team is its quickness, discipline and defense. Bilowus also credits “a good system and good program starting from the freshmen level” for the success of his varsity teams. Under the direction of Joe Foley, the Lackawanna freshmen have lost only three games in the past five years while the junior varsity team, coached by brother Bob Bilowus, has also lost only thrice in the previous five seasons. “By the time a player comes to me, he is a well-developed basketball player who knows how to play the game,” Bilowus stated. INGMAR DERGMAN3 [Rj Spectrum Staff Writer Journey has achieved the critical acclaim of an "art band Journey has achieved the headline status and audience support of a brilliant street band. Journey has achieved collective recognition for their unique sound Gregg Rolie, Neal Schon, Ross Valory and Aynsley Dunbar have v achieved individual recognition as masters of their instruments. In short, Journey achieved it all And then came "Next." Critics rap schedule He calls this team his best ever, not necessarily because of its number “we had eight players who could really play one ranking, but and we never had a bad game defensively.” The Sfeelers averaged 74 points per game and only gave up an average of 42 points per game. Even with these impressive accomplishments and acclamations, there are still some critics who say that the Steelers “don’t play anybody.” Although the Western New York area does not quite turn out as many college stars as other areas of the state, many area schoolboy stars have gone on to play at such top basketball schools as Syracuse University and the University of Tennesee. Last year the Steelers were entered in the prestigious Long Island Lutheran Tournament (the Top Eight Classic) but when the host Long Island school had an off year, the tourney was terminated. This year a supposed state-wide tournament involving the top teams from nine of the state’s 11 sections was cancelled, too. Bilowus felt that this state tournament would have shown how good his team really is. He contends that the critics fail to realize the Steelers have tried to play “somebody,” but no one seems to want to play them. True test next year Next year, providing that there are no cancellations, the Steelers may get their chance to silence their critics once and for all. A New York State Championship Tournament is scheduled for next year to decide the state’s top public school team for the 1977-78 year. The following year there will be a championship involving both public and private schools so that the number one school, no matter who it may be, will have no critics who say “they didn’t play anybody.” Although the Steelers lose four cagers through graduation (all attracted a Hock of college scouts, including Buffalo’s Leo Richardson), Bilowus and area coaches feel that next year’s team may be even better. With tour of LHS’ top eight players returning and with some good prospects advancing trom the J.V. team this observation seems to be a very logical appraisal of what the future will be like. “It depends on what the boys do over the summer to improve themselves,” Bilowus said. So with the expected hope of an even better team and the long awaited state championship tournament likely to become a reality, Bilowus can hardly wait until next year when his Steelers can show that they truly are, once again, the best team in the Buffalo area, and one of the best high school teams in New York State.

Although optimistic predictions in 1975 forecast completion of construction in September 1977, a series of delays has pushed the earliest possible completion date back into late 1979. The latest delay has been a nine-month wait for a reply from officials in the State Division of the Budget in Albany, who must approve plans for taking out a bank mortgage for construction of the facilities and renting storefronts to area merchants. The plans for Parcel B are being carried out by members of the UB Foundation, an of University organization and alumnus area business heads, which incorporated when the University became part of SUNY to promote private philanthropy. John Carter, chairman of the Parcel B Board of Directors, said the delay by the Division of the Budget has probably driven the cost of the project 15 percent higher than previously planned because the rate of inflation in the construction industry is so great. The project was originally pricetagged at somewhere between eight and ten million dollars. Mortgage or rent? Carter said in an interview Monday that the Division of the Budget had insisted that the first priority for use of income from rental charges to local merchants be payment of rent to SUNY rather than payment on the bank mortgage. “We have told DOB if we must pay rent as a number one piority, we will never get a mortgage,” Carter said. Carter indicated that the lease with SUNY, signed over a year ago, held that mortgage payments be the first priority for Parcel B revenues. Members of the Parcel B Board of Directors met for a full day last year with Division of the Budget officials. Carter said he thought that all questions about the project were answered then. But he said that because of the other problems in SUNY construction, “our little ten-million-dollar project is not much of a priority.” “We don’t find the delay acceptable at all,” he said. The plot Of land known as Parcel B on the Amherst Campus campus, and, therefore, will not runs along Lee Entrance Road, need large attention-grabbing signs south of the Ellicott Complex, which can be seen from the roads west of Lake LaSalle, and directly near campus. north of the academic spines’ The hotel was intended to hold language buildingabout 150 rooms and provide 20,000 square feet of office space, ‘First class merchants’ facilities for a faculty-alumni club, and possibly 20,000 square feet of Carter said he "has a list of student-activity space. “first-class” merchants who have The Parcel B plan is considered expressed willingness to locate at to be unique within SUNY.

Area merchants and members of the Amherst Town Council became upset at the prospect of a large development competing with other businesses without being subject to taxes by virture of its residence on State-owned property. The bill had been written for SUNY and members of the Governor’s staff by attorneys. It was given to McFarland and Fremming to sponsor in their respective legislative houses. McFarland recalled the bill after consulting with officials from the Town of Amherst who charged it was being “rammed” through because they were certain to oppose it. McFarland eventually agreed to amend the bill to guarantee payments instead of taxes and limitations on how much retail, office and hotel space could be set aside on the campus. He also agreed to the present size and location of the hotel. Another stumbling block in the Parcel B project was overcome when the trustees ended, at President Robert Ketter’s request, their withholding of authorization for any contracts until student participation in the planning of the project was ensured. Ketter indicated to members of the SUNY trustees, in spite of protests from students leaders, that he did not support student representation on the Parcel B Board. He said at the time that his principle reason for denying student membership is that the project must be fiscally sound. �University of Pennsylvania ' Student police admit to spying on radical groups by Daniel W. Lindley now a lieutenant. Asked if his ' detectives or work-study students had gathered intelligence on the YSA, Shultis replied, “I never heard of them.” “We do not use covert intelligence,” he added. But he said that “we have sent detectives to meetings on this campus.” Shultis denied charges by some YSA members that campus security has been passing its intelligence files on to th6 FBI. YSA leader Galinsky additionally claimed that campus security has been supplying files to a local Philadelphia “Red Squad;” in a 1974 university trial of a Progressive Labor Party member who had presented a professor a “racist of the year” award in class, the Philadelphia Civil Disobedience Squad supplied the court with files on the student, said Galinsky. him look through several of the files that had been kept.” Special to The Spectrum (CPS) The Mod Squad is alive and well and battling crime and unrest at the University of Pennsylvania. — Five or six UP work-study students, members of the campus security auxiliary force nicknamed “the Mod Squad,” admitted to a Daily Pennsylvanian' reporter March 7 that they were paid by the university last June to gather information on several student organizations, including the Young Socialist Alliance (YSA). The YSA is a campus affiliate of the Socialist Workers’ Party, which had its New York offices broken into by the FBI. “We suspected for years that campus security had been spying on us,” said Seth Galinsky, head of UP’s YSA chapter. “The reporter from the Daily Penn bluffed the head of security by telling him that he already pr ox> f had o£ the intelligence-gathering. Then the chief let The files, according to the Daily Penn, contained newspaper clippings, political literature and security reports which described what occurred at YSA meetings. The supervisor of UP detectives told the paper that his force had gathered information on the Revolutionary Student Brigade, the July Fourth Coalition and the Vietnam Veterans Against the War as well. No discussion An FBI spokesman contacted in Philadelphia said that to his knowledge, campus security has not been supplying the FBI with files on any students or student Routine Campus Secusity Director Donald Shultis denied in a telephone interview that he has employed his Mod Squad in gathering intelligence. Rather, he said, the work-study students receive the minimum pay wage for “routine office administration” and “crime watches such as protecting bicycles from theft and providing a security escort for students.” Some former members of the Mod Squad, he continued, graduated and now work full-time for him. One ex-member is organizations. “The Young Socialist Alliance is not one of the organizations that the FBI now has under surveillance*” he said. Asked if his organization ever had aided campus security in gathering information on any campus group, he replied, “I don’t think that warrants any discussion at this BCCC to begin action Fimd exmm on city’s federal fund *vmers awaritf � sarms point.

Act last fallrevealed - that an FBI informant had been reporting on the CMU chapter of the YSA. Campus security apparently had supplied the FBI contact the names, telephone numbers, addresses, and campus affiliations of certain students. Kent State students have charged that a former deariof student life there collected information on the Kent State YSA between 1965 and 1968. Meanwhile, UP’s Committee on Open a fact-finding group of Expression, administrators, faculty and students, has decided to investigate the growing controversy surrounding campus security’s files. The committee currently is trying to obtain the files from Shultis. “I’m not sure we can deal with prior behavior,” said chairman of the committee Larry Gross. “Still, should there be our findings disciplinary proceedings, should conclusive for the be administration.” The YSA, which claims that the Committee on Open Expression has never found in favor of a student, is discussing legal action. Final Exam Week will begin on May 19th and end on the 26th. A complete final exam schedule will be posted on April 25th. � The Buffalo Cooperative Community Council (BCCC) has been granted $15,000 of the city’s $10.3 million federal revenue-sharing funds for community development by Buffalo’s Common Council. BCCC’s application for the funds was approved by a 11 to 3 vote on March 22, following the Council’s elimination of a mayoral “slush fund” for unspecified contingencies totalling $402,100 of the community development funds. This sum was then divided between the BCCC and ten other city-wide programs not provided for under Mayor Stanley Makowski’s original spending plan, The BCCC requested $50,000 for its myriad of programs over a month ago, and was fairly confident that efforts made in its behalf by ■University Councilman William A. Price, among others, would bring at least partial budgeting. Price was the BCCC’s strongest advocate in the Council during the application process and was particularly influencial as chairman of the Mayor’s Special Committee on Revenue Sharing. oreenno g jflfGj-ad^P |s £ v.

The BCCC expects to begin action on several proposals initially outlined in its application, including the development of new buying clubs and storefronts, recycling centers and an alternative energy team. The publication of an “alternative newspaper” is one of several projected projects. Procedural difficulties have already cropped up. Member Ron Katz said that deciding which projects will receive a share of the funds is “very tricky. There’s usually a fear attached to money.” Katz has noticed that members who invested much time and energy in getting the BCCC proposal approved are now pushing their own pet projects which “could cause dissention and disturb relationships between people,” he said.

According to Asante, however, “academic standards have never been higher.” Professor Charles Petrie complained negative that a attitude was being built up against the department by the pre§s and some of the department faculty. While he says he differs with department Asante on his administration, he shares his concern for the department’s reputation. “Goddammit this department good,” Petrie protested. “Sure we have problems, who doesn’t? But why don’t they ever print any of the positive things we have accomplishe. We are doing our job. I have never gone to a class is unprepared — and that applies to in this department.” Both Asante and Petrie hope that the Alvis controversy can be everyone kept within the department and out of the public spotlight. They feel Alvis had already suffered enough arid that further publicity would serve constructive no purpose and would be cruel. Alvis would not comment. Canisius College meeting NYPIRG solicits support by Michele Cohen Staff Writer Spectrum A conference was held last Saturday at Canisius College to solicit support for the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG), frpni students attending schools other than this University and Buffalo State College (Buff State). About 50 persons attended, representing not only those two schools but also Niagara University and Daemon, Canisius and D’Youville Colleges. Donald Ross, statewide NYPIRG executive, began the conference with, a preview of upcoming projects related to Western New York, later reviewing some of NYPIRG’s overall areas of involvement. Ross discussed the pending law suits in Albany as a result of unjustified allocations of funds for the Albany Mall, a scientific investigation of the Hudson River to determine its suitability as a future water supply, and the 8% leakage of gas'from Con' Ed’s pipelines, listing just a few of the issues NYPIRG is concerned with. NYPIRGs to multiply Ross expressed a positive, enthusiastic attitude toward his consumer group. “The possibilities for creative action are really there,” he said, hoping that the conference would be a “spark,” for NYPIRG affiliations on private college campuses, especially where community ties are strong. Ross was followed by Paul Maggiotoo, a student here, who discussed NYPIRG’s gas rebate campaign and Tom Novick, a Buff State student organizer for marijuana decriminalization. Maggiotto pointed out that NYPIRG projects offer the opportunity for collective action by broad segments of the community to “bridge the gap” between labor, business, senior citizens and students. The community effort on the gas rebate issue is one example. Public Citizen Awards were then given to Dorothy Teryl, a member of the American Civil Liberties union who defended numerous young people in the aftermath of a large-scale drug arrest at Rich Stadium last year, and Bunny Ross, an organizer of No Overhead Transit (NOT) which opposed elevated mass transit lines in Buffalo. Workshops following the opening remarks gave students a chance to learn about specific NYPIRG programs. Discussion outlined ways NYPIRG volunteers could effect change in those areas such — as marijuana decriminalization, legislative work, alternate energy, utility reform, consumerism, and children’s justice. Further discussions concerned nuclear power. Food Day, Government Accountability, Small Claims Court, and NYPIRG What Your S Buys. — Unique internship NYF/RG offers the unique opportunity to spend a semester working in the Albany legislature. Students learn how to pass a piece.of legislation, “lake a specitjc'issue, build a coalition and push the tiling through.” explained Jill Siegel, a past participant in the program. Tom Novick led a workshop on marijuana decriminalization. NYPIRG’s involvement consists in public education to eliminate common myths concerning dope use, and in informing legislators of public sentiment. At Buff Slate, a letter writing campaign was organized, and a table set up in the Union with sample letters, stamps and stationary. ISO letters were written in one week as a result of NYPIRG educates In other examples of NYPIRG actions, actual students working with alternate energy are constructing windmills and solar collectors to be tested for home use. Models are being made for use in demonstrations at high schools, fairs, and conventions Food Day, scheduled for April 21. is a national project to which NYPIRG is contributing. Its aim is to make the public aware of the cost and nutritive deficiency of many American foods. Organizers hope to educate the public through demonstrations, classes, low-cost nutritous meals, displays in schools and printed fact sheets. More concrete action can take place through the establishment of community canneries, farmers’ markers, urban gardens, and coops. NYPIRG could be summarized as an unusual organization having seven professionals on full-time salaries. Their experience, permenance, and resources enable part-time volunteers to work on projects that are ongoing, despite rapid student turnover. The moral of the day was probably that individuals can cause decisive change. As Steve Vitoff concluded, “NYPIRG is the channel for idealism.” Wednesday, 30 March 1977 The Spectrum Page three . . �"•-s ytsr°G Walk-a-thon �Piiiiw, by Margie Gross Spectrum Staff Writer The Buffalo Boot Brigade will in the twenty-mile March of National Foundation participate — Dimes annual Walk-a-thon to help fight birth defects Sunday, May 15th.

V ideo by was seized individuals who saw it as a of political capable tool “establishment” rupturing control of the media. Woody Vasulka, former innovator arid currently a resident video artist at this University, said, “The notion of these elements became the basis of what is now called ‘video art’.” video With the advent of the video Nam June Paik. Shuya Abe, and Eric Seigel, video took a giant step forward.

In 1970 an alternative media conference was held at Goddard College. Video and other media enthusiasts gathered together, spouted theories, altered their states of consciousness, held seminars, and screened hours of tape. This event provided the impetus for a movement which in the past five years has a into “video ■crystallized happening.” Soon after the conference, video declared its independence from conventional television, as defiantly from spoke it monitors in public galleries. David Silver said eloquently in his article, “Transforming TV,” form wild juxapositions and sardonically distortions contrasting with the strict predictabilities of broadcast — TV,” in which all moverrlents were perpetually distributed through a kaleidoscope arrangement, an example of video used concept ually.

This differed from image processing because it focused on the presentation of an idea rather than an image. Lastly, video was defined as documentary a device exploring events of social or by significance individual recording real occurences. Vasulka spoke of an early exhibition by Howard Weiss, entitled “Video as a Creative Medium.” “It was a whole generic code of what was later to be proclaimed video art, contained in one exhibit,” Valsuka said. “I’ve seen more precise definition, more socially hidden concepts but, 1 have not seen a significant contribution to these concepts since.” The exhibit had a number of monitors dispalying different events. At first sight one was presented with an empty screen. Within a matter of seconds the viewer watched himself entering the room, a dislocation of real time and an example of a documentary.

Wednesday, 30 March 1977 �The Ramonesand The Dictators bring punk rock to Buffalo State * n ’ band realized his full potential he was promoted to lead singer (“although he had never taken singing lessons, as hard as that is to believe”). And it was with this conglomeration that the Dictators played that glitter rock capital club, The Coventry in New York, and recorded their now legendary 1975 masterpiece, The Dictators Go Girl Crazy. And low, these many months have passed and the album still stands as a classic, untouchable album, as it contained much of the message from TWG and some of the nastiest rock and roll recorded to date. (For those of you that cannot wait for the new ‘Tator’s LP, tentatively titled Manifest Destiny, you might want to pick on their earlier effort, for while the album is unusually very hard to obtain these days, many copies have recently turned up in this city.) ’76 and ’76 were not good years for the band. While their album received much cjritical acclaim, record sales were low and alas it wasn’t soon after that Epic dropped the band. This was all despite the fact that their single of “California Sun” went top ten in places such as Ftance and elsewhere. On top of this Andy left the band for a while, dissatisfied with direction and feeling that they weren’t going anywhere. Perhaps the two most memorable instances of this period occurred when Handsome Dick cracked a mike stand over a certain Wayne County’s head (but more on that some other time, O.K.?) and when they performed at the Annual Miss Nude America show at the Beacon theatre in New York City. by Dimitri Papadopoulos Contributing Editor Some preliminary comments: Friday’s concert at Buffalo State College with the Dictators and The Ramones may have been the greatest act of rock and roll since Aerosmith, Mott the Hoople and The Dolls battled it out in Kleinhans some three years ago. More important, it was or should I signify “event” the first Buffalo Concert which featured so-called “punk rock” as the main calling — — card. Also, the concert was produced in the atmosphere required to achieve the impact and atmosphere needed by the two bands that shared the bill. Remember that Television, another great band from the New York area, had just opened the Peter Gabriel concert a week ago. While the concert proved to be a tour-de-force (of course) it suffered from a lack of promotion from the people in radioland and from the cavernous bedlam of the Century theatre. But it was totally different this time and the joke is on all you non-believers. The opening act was the Dictators, who are a powerful band and are as deadly as buzzards circling over a freshly cited meat dish. Just look at the way their entourage takes over the stage like a goddamn army. Certainly The Dictators were in prime form last Friday. They have just completed a tour with Kiss and a few intermingled dates with ZZ Top. - - Who are they? Because many of you have no idea as to who these guys are, so the following is a short history of the band: Andy Shemoff was going to the State University at New Paltz around ’72-73 and began putting out his own rock and roll fanzine, Teenage Wasteland Gazzette. Instead of being one of informative stories, plus pix and discographies like the ones that were quite prevalent at the time, TWG was different. Much of the material covered such things as watching Carol Wayne, Joe Bolton and Fred Mertz on television and going to get drunk on Long Island. As history has proven, it became one of the most popular fanzines of its time. But Andy soon saw that the full thrust of his visions could not be expressed through the limitations of this fanzine and so he came up with the idea of a band. The first vesicle of the Dictators included Andy on bass, Ross (The Boss) Funicello on lead guitar, Scott (Top Ten) Kempner on rhythm and a variety of drummers of which a guy named Stu Boy King lasted the longest. Later the Dictators were enhanced by the likes of one Richie Blum, who is known to all of us today as Handsome Dick Manitoba. In the beginning Handsome Dick was the roadie and cook for the band, but later after the rest of the know something special is being cooked up. Sure enough the band launches into their great “The Next Big Thing,” with that great chorus made up from the same words and The Tators are starting to kick some ass. Their whew next number “Weekend” a sort of anthem about that time to go a bit insane, gets some heavy heavy duty crowd response. Then its into “Strong, Fast and Scientific, which is an extension of sorts on the main Pictator’s theme television rules the planet. Hell no, television doesn’t even come off as powerful as an ant’s fart when these boys whip into a little number called “Master Race Rock.” Check out some of the lyrics: - — “We ’re the members of the master race Got no style, got no grace “Sleep all night, sleep all day Nothing good on TV anyway” We’ve reached a higher spiritual plain It is so hard, I can’t explain. ” But let’s not forget the other talent circulating here. Ross the Boss adds some excellent bumble bee (stinging) guitar to the cut and the bass break by The Animal is truly invigorating. Some excellent riff rock and then it’s time for “Two Tub Man” a theme song of sorts for Handsome Dick who in his own time has been more than a welter weight enigma. A really long boogie inspired by Funicello opens this number, proving that the Dictators can trade licks with the best of them. More devastation and off they go to the sound of thunderous applause. But of course, there’s time for one more which happens to be another new killer, entitled Backseat Boogie, and I bet you can all guess what that’s about. You devils, you! — Intelligent punks So off go the Dictators to the sanctum of the backstage area, proving once and for all that punks can be intelligent as well as masterful musicians. Surely they have Grand tradition won the crowd over with their infectious teenage stance. At any rate and in the grand show/biz tradition these So where does that leave the Ramones? I mean, hell, after two events captured the minds of many rock fans and just the Dictators, even Led Zeppelin sounds like tinker toy when things seemingly began to crumble, much like the music. But by no means did the Ramones get blown off Dolls before them, the Dictators were on everyone’s the stage, yet I have this uneasy feeling that maybe a more tongues again.

Cook business morality should embrace compliance with the letter and spirit of the law of the land.

And when the band jumped into the medly of “Havanna Affair,” “Today Your Love, Tomorrow the .World,” the rockin’ “California Sun.” “Judy Is a Punk,” “I Don’t Wanna Walk Around With You,” it seriously looked as if the band was gonna cause an orgasmic epidemic amidst the shouts and cheering after that dazzling finale. But the fans wouldn’t stop their raucus and so back onto the stage trooped the Ramones for two obligatory encores, one of which was the great, but often passed over tune “Chain Saw.” Texas Chain Saw massacre They took my baby away from me But she 'll never get away from there Shell never get out front there I don't care, wohoho When I saw her on the corner She told me told me told me 1 She wouldn 't go far Ooh, now I know I’m so much in love ’Cause she's the only girl that I’m ever thinking — of. Not a standard The other number came as a surprise. “Pinhead” is not a standard in the group’s repertoire. And so the concert ended as gloriously as it had started with the Dictators.

Some of Wilson’s well known productions include Lemon Sky which made its world premiere in Buffalo, and the Hot L Baltimore, which was the foundation for the television series by the same name. It is rumored that the Hot L Baltimore was inspired by the Hotel Lafayette; Wilson resided there during a stay in , Buffalo. The Rimers of Eldritch places the audience in the role of jury and judge presiding over the trial of the townsfolk. The evidence is brought before us in a series of non-sequential flashbacks as we form an opinion on the dying town. Eldritch, as one of the characters tells us, was a mining town, and when the coal gave out, all the inhabitants moved off, leaving a small group of residents to try to keep the ghost town and its memories alive. Ax a small town we observe the many ailments Eldritch is afflicted with gossip, corruption and hypocrisy as we watch the disease grow. The play is truly a superb literary achievement. The production will be presented April 15, 16 and 17 at the State College at Buffalo in Upton Hall Auditorium. Tickets are free - better in fact than disco will ever be for there are no set rules. The dance takes form according to the interaction between body and soul. Let me conclude by saying that when the music is provided by the Ramones the dance is usually uninhibited Some final notes: The concert was a sellout, which just goes to show that bad-ass rock and roll, especially the type as spirited and sociologically important as this cannot be kept from the kids that love the stuff. Many people that attended the concert had never heard either of the two bands perform live (much less their records), but by the end of this concert only a few dubious members remained. The others? Many of them had to be forced from the tables on top of which they were dancing. As for the fans that knew what to expect, they were as ecstatic as could be believed. Later, the crowd is spilling out from Moot Hall. Many are dancing. Others strum imaginary guitars. But the majority remain screaming, letting off a particular steam. All share a common bond; an esorteric sense of energy release. Thank you Buffalo State College. Thank you Ramones and Dictators. Rock Lives!!

The Cubs aren’t reilly that bad, but fifth place should be theirs. Expos manager Dick Williams will be pulling a few surprises he’ll have to. Picking up Tony Perez and Dave Cash, the Expos right side of the infield is superb. But what-about the rest of the infield and outfield? Let’s just say that the Expos have no place to go but up. It’s showdown time in the Wild Wild West with the Reds and Dodgers fighting it out tooth and nail. The Reds will be as strong as ever. Johnny Bench, MVP Joe Morgan, Pete Rose, MVP runner-up George Foster, are all worth their weight in gold, but the Redlfegs are indeed vulnerable. Don Gullett was the Reds’ mound ace, but without him, what will happen? The Reds have made some acquisitions but their mound staff is not outstanding. The Dodgers made only one trade but it may catipult them into first place. Exit Bill Buckner and enter Rick Monday. Teaming up with Monday in the outfield will be Reggie Smith and Dusty Baker. The infield has remained intact for four seasons and probably will for four more. The key to the Dodger success will be their aces. You can be sure that Don Sutton, Doug Rau, Rick Rhoden, Tommy John and Burt Hooton could make the difference in a new The big question in the National League East is, will the sophomore jinx follow Danny Ozark and his Philadelphia squad as they set out in search of their second consecutive Divisional Title? The answer is no. But you can be sure that the keystone confrontation between the Phillies and the Pirates will be a tough one. Now that the Phillies have tasted victory, they want more. The departure of Dave Cash and Dick Allen might hurt the Phillies, but the two vacancies will be adequately filled. Tending firstbase will be Ex-Pirate Richie Hebner while second is in the hands of either Ted Sizemore or Davey Johnson. Other than that, the Phillies are solid. Stars Mike Schmidt, Greg Luzinski and other fine ballplayers return, but the Phillies secret weapon is their arms. Ozark believes that this is the best pitching staff the Phillies have ever had. With a five man rotation headed by Steve Carlton, who’s going to argue? The bullpen is solid too. - / Surprises for Pirates The always potent Pirates will be applying pressure again this year, but the Bugs are in for a few surprises. After last year’s campaign, Pittsburgh realized they needed a stronger pitching staff. They shored up their bullpen, but unfortunately stripped themselves of a lot of manpower. They got relievers Rich Gossage, Terry Forster and Grant Jackson, in addition to infielder Phil Garner. The awesome outfield of Dave Parker, Bill Robinson and A1 Oliver remains intact, but the infield is filled wjth questions. With the return of third baseman Ken Reitz, stability is once again restored to the St. Louis infield. Anchoring the Cardinals once again will be Lou Brock and Ted Simmons. It will be hard to crack into first place but a top notch pitching staff including Larry helps, and the Cardinals have one Dierker, Bob Forsch, and A1 Hrabosky. What can you say about the New York Mets not much. With an outfield that has as much trouble catching the ball as it does throwing it, the Mets pitching staff as usual will keep the club afloat. They’ll clinch fourth place cut it won’t be a team effort. — — Chicago in the fifth The Chicago Cubs have a new look. Picking up Bobby Murcer, Bill Buckner, Greg Gross and Ivan DeJesus the Cubs have four new solid starters. With a staff of Ray Burris, Rick Reuschel and others things Dodger dynasty. The Reds and Dodgers are a tough act to follow, but the Braves don’t have to worry since third place is the best they’ll achieve. After trading for Jeff Burroughs, the Braves have added a new punch to their lineup that includes Rowland Office, Gary Matthews and Willie Montanez. The cocky Braves have a notable staff headed by Andy Messersmith, Phil Niekro, Dick Ruthven and Mike Marshall. - Who’s on first? San Diego certainly likes free-agents; the acquired three Gene Tenace, George Hendrick and Rollie Fingers. They also have a pretty good looking staff starring Randy Jones. But a rookie doubleplay combination may be the Padres demise. “Who’s on first and where the hell is everyone else” is the slogan Giant fans will be yelling this spring. Acquiring Bill Madlock may have been the steal of the century. For a team that averaged 1.3 errors per game last season, thank God the Giants have a sound pitching staff. If they can strike everyone out, the Giants have it made. Lastly, the Astros aren’t bad, they’re just not good. The uniform the Astros sport is almost as it’s revolting as the team’s pitching staff horrendous. . — — Lacrosse club dropped first game against Slippery Rock The Lacrosse Club’s preseason did not go exactly as planned. The Bulls dropped their only exhibition game to Slippery Rock, 10-8 at ElUcott on Saturday. From the opening face-off it was a close, wild battle fought in three inches of snow and mud. “All that ooze made running and scooping the ball tougher. It was really a long day,” said center midfielder Steve Hackeling. Coach Perry O. Hanson 111 thought the team played well. He did not want to make excuses, however, saying that there were differences in the way both teams prepared for the scrimmage. Coach Hanson lamented, “This was the first chance we had to get outside. We only practiced in the gym or tennis courts. Slippery Rock has a field house and their field conditions were considerably superior. In general, we had no chance to simulate game conditions and they did. Our play was satisfactory, theirs was better.” Slippery Rock had the edge all day. They scored first and then again before William Biggs put the Bulls into the game with a strong man-on-man goal. Buffalo kept it close, scoring twice on man-up plays by Frank Massaro and Roland Garrow, but still found themselves trailing 7-3 at the half. Hanson’s speech at halftime fired the Bulls up, and they came out shooting. In the second half. Rich Morgan picked up two goals, Biggs got his second and Dave Kaplan scored. The Bulls tied the game at 8 going into the fourth quarter. It was clear that fatigue was playing a major role at this point. The poor conditions and the tough team from Slippery Rock seemed a might too much for the Bulls. Slippery Rock scored two goals in the final period to earn the win. “We’ll be ready for Monroe Community College,” promised Frank Massaro. That is at home, on April 18, at 4 p.m. behind Clark Hall.

Buffalo’s record now stands at 6-3. The Bulls were paced by Kevin Mahoney (six goals—3assists) and Mark Schumacher (8 assists). Buffalo, coming off last week’s victory over second ranked Princeton University, looked disorganized and sluggish at the game’s Outset, as R.I.T. jumped to an early 8-3 lead. The Tigers, essentially a one-man gang led by All-American Dave Cohn, seemed more conditioned and poised. Cohn was all over the court in the first half, throwing the length of the Bubble, and making timely passes and catches. The Bulls unimpressively hung on and trailed at halftime, 13-10. After the intermission Buffalo pulled itself together. They played air-tight defense, mixed short, middle and long-range passes effectively, and made few mechanical or mental errors. The Bulls rotated defenders on Cohn, overplaying his overhand wrist flip which had destroyed them in the first half. As Cohn became ineffective, RIT collapsed. Buffalo’s Kevin Luks made several key leg blocks of Tiger passes. Both Luks (two goals—three assists) and Kevin Miller (three goals—two assists) came alive in the second half. Mitch Jerome had 4 big night with four goals and three assists, while Gary Stuber added five clutch goals. The Bulls travel to Pittsburgh next month for the Carnegie-Mellon Spring Festival, where they hope to continue their winning ways against Carnegie-Mellon and powerful Oberlin College. Baseball Bulls in for a learning experience by Joy Clark Assistant Sports Editor There will be a lot of question marks in the lineup for this year’s baseball Bulls, who departed for their annual Florida trip yesterday. Fourteen players, including seven pitchers and the nation’s leading hitter, John Buszka, graduated last year, and left coach Bill Monkarsh with a largely inexperienced squad. “This will be a learning season,” commented Monkarsh. “They have to learn to play the game at this level.” The Bulls are coming off one of the best seasons in Buffalb’s history. They were 22-8 for their northern schedule including an 11-game winning streak and a 13-1 record at Peelle Field. The Bulls, led by Buszka, led the nation in team batting (.361) and made the finals of the ECAC playoffs. Five of the Bulls were drafted in the Major League draft this past winter. The biggest question mark is on the mound. Almost half of the pitching staff (6 out of 13) is made up of freshmen. But there are a few veterans to give the team some sorely needed stability. Senior lefthander Bill Casbolt should fill the gap caused by the graduation of ace Jim Niewczyk. Junior Dave Borsuk, another lefty, hasn’t seen much action in the last two years, but Monkarsh plans to play him more this year. Monkarsh was expecting a lot from righty Mike Betz, but Betz sustained an ankle injury that puts him out of action indefinitely. Sophomore righty Rick Brooks had a great Fall, and should help pick up the slack. Among the rookies, freshman Bil Coomber and transfer Craig Warthling both look promising. According to Monkarsh, “Coomber’s learning; with experience, he should be a tremendous pitcher.” Junior Warthling, a righty like Coomber, . .. looks tremendous. His ball is moving all the time,” according to Monkarsh. “All the freshmen are green,” said the coach. “They need game experience. I’ll have to see what they can do and can’t do.” The Bulls strong point is their infield. Tri-captains Jack Kaminska at shortstop and secondbaseman Mike Groh, a second-team ECAC All-Star will anchor the infield; aided by first baseman John White and Ed Durkin at third. “The infield is as good as we’ve ever had,’.’ sat Monkarsh. The other tri-captain, Mike Dixon, will hold down the catchin duties it' he stays healthy. “Our catching will be strong if Dixon’s arm i strong he’s as good as any catcher’,” said Monkarsh. Freshman Jim Wojcik, with his good speed and strong arm, has nailed down center field while sophomore John Pederson will be handling duties in right. Three freshmen will be vying for the leftfield spot while in Florida. “The job will go to whoever does the best job hitting and the best job defensively. I'm sure the position will be ably filled,” commented Monkarsh. Monkarsh plans to take advantage of the team’s speed with a lot of hit-and-runs and steals. “The trouble is that we’re not going to be able to steal first, so we’ll have to scratch for our runs,” said Monkarsh. According to Monkarsh, the outlook to bright. “1 hope to play 5Q0 this year and then have a great season after that,” he concluded. Buffalo’s home opener will be against Canisius April 21 at Peelle Field at 3 p.m “ - Page thirteen . The Spectrum .

Senate To boycott uncooperative banks \ by John H. Reiss overhang factor in the checking account. He explained that ■ this checking balance which rarely falls below $25,009 is most important to the banks since they can invest a substantial portion of it. average Campus Editor Student Association (SA) passed by 27-1 Thursday, the Athletic Constitutional Afnendment which will provide athletics with the four year financial stability needed to open up avenues for much needed outside The support. SA also voted by acclamation to condemn and boycott Buffalo banks refusing to buy $3 million in short term Housing Finance Agency (HFA) bonds. Purchase of the bonds has been required by the State Division of the Budget as a local sign of support for Amherst Campus construction. Later that evening, Sub-Board 1 unanimously endorsed a three point proposal to: support the SA boycott, remove all Sub Board funds from Marine Midland Bank and ask each respective student goverment (the Student Bar Association, Medical School Polity, Graduate Student Association, Millard Filmore College, Dental School Association, and SA) to withdraw all personal funds from the reluctant'banks. Those banks include Liberty National, Manufacturers and Traders (M & T) and Marine Midland. The SA proposal specifically condemned “any bank that turns its back on the needs of the local community and calls for an all out boycott of these institutions should they not support the purchase of $3 million in HFA bonds as a show of support for North Campus Construction which the state requires to restart.” SA President Dennis Delia indicated the boycott “has already shown signs of support” and claimed he believes “it will be absolutely successful.” The local banks are presently reviewing the situation and will disclose their final decision next week. According to Sub Board Treasurer Arthur Lalonde, the factor that makes the student bank accounts so desirable to a bank is not the overall dollar volume but, the Financial stability approved The Athletic Amendment an in undergraduate referendum assures athletic departments that however much money they receive next year, the departments will be appropriated the same amount over the next four years. This financial stability will allow athletic departments to search for outside support, an impossibility before the passage of the amendment. Previously, organizations such as the UB Foundation were unwilling to offer financial support to athletics since, they felt, the team’s existence depended solely on the year to year whims of SA. With the ratification of the amendment, poteqtial supporters can be assured athletics will receive a set amount of funding over a long period of time. One important consequence of the amendment’s passage has been UB Foundation President John Carter’s verbal assurance to Delia of a $15,000 contribution to the Athletic Department. This money, according to Delia, could finance the return of football to this University next fall. Delia in fact, felt the chances are excellent that football will be a reality come September. Whole new era According to Delia $15,000 is all that is needed to fund football’s return to Buffalo. Buffalo would compete in NCAA Division III and plans are being made to schedule games with such schools as Canisius, Brockport, Alfred and Cortland. Bill Dando, Buffalo’s golf coach, would presumably take over as head coach of the football team with wrestler and track men possibly forming the core of the‘Squad. Delia claimed a “whole new era” for Buffalo athletics is about to begin. The SA Senate also addressed the question of tie line service for student organizations. All such service was terminated by last week without prior notice by the Administration. University Comptroller William Baumer apologized for the curtness and inconvenience of his sudden actions but, according to Delia, “refused to return the tie lines back to the way they were.” Scrutiny Delia said he will meet tomorrow with Baumer, University President Robert Ketter, Vice President for Student Affairs Richard Siggelkow, Vice President for Finance and Management Edward Doty, Associate Director of Student Affairs Ronald Stein and students to “discuss the alternatives and hardships and to try to rectify the situation.” SA Treasurer Neil Seiden explained that across the board cuts may have to be implimented in order to compensate for the anticipated 5 percent SA budget deficit. He said the deficit rose since less students eventually enrolled at this University than had been anticipated when the budget was prepared. Seiden also indicated that in the future, student groups will be required to detail how they intend to spend money appropriated to them in advance. The organizations will then be monitored to assure that the money is spent as specified. The Senate elected former SA Executive Vice President Steve Spiegel and John Centra as at large senators from off-campus and the dorms respectively. Spiegel described himself as a hard worker who is well versed in student politics. “I still care and want to help,” Spiegel said. Centra called for more involvement in the Student Senate. Both won by large margins. The Senate also voted by acclamation to write a letter to the students of this University asking them not to patronize Cavages Records Inc. The letter will be printed as an advertisement in The Spectrum. SA Executive Vice President Andy Lalonde opened the meeting by detailing the “non-achievements” the most recent SA Administration and, called for a “Sounding out of student opinion” in order to form effective policies. The Spectrum State University of New York Vol. 27, No. 71 at Buffalo Monday, 28 Match 1977 English Department Fiedler feels ‘relief* at the end of his term as chairman by Andrea Rudner Staff Writer Spectrum Leslie Fiedler’s reaction to the upcoming end of his three year term as chairman of the English Department is one of relief. “It’s an exhausting and time consuming job” he said in an interview Monday. “It has convinced me that I never want to be chairman again. But that’s not meant in a malicious sense.” He said the positive aspects of his experience included having the opportunity to play an important role in this exciting, non traditional department, settling up a program of visiting scholars and writers including such people as Anthony Burgess, Harold Berger, Grace Paley, and Donald Bartholeme, and learning how to use ingenuity to accomplish a great deal with ever-shrinking resources Fiedler, who holds a B.A. from New York University, an M.A. and a PhD .from the University of and has done Wisconsin, Harvard work at post-doctoral summed the University up liked it a experience succinctly. “I lot.” The next chairman, whose term will begin in September, is being chosen this semester. Many students are unaware of how a chairman is selected. They sometimes seem to be permanent fixtures of the University. The English Department begins by holding a number of votes and discussions. Eventually the field is narrowed down to a small number of candidates and a final discussion and vote are held. There are now three candidates, and according to Fiedler, the new chairman will be announced by the second week in April. Graduate students and faculty members participate in the voting process. “We’re an extremely democratic department and it’s an extremely complicated process,” he said. Theoretically, it is President Robert Ketter’s responsibility to appoint chairs to the departments. This responsibility is usually delegated to the various Provosts. In the case of the English Department the Provost of the Faculty of Arts and Letters “lets himself be guided by the vote of the department,” Fiedler said. The summer chairman will be Ed .Dryden, currently one of Fiedler’s two Associate Chairmen. The next chairman, along with most of the rest of the University, will face the growing problem of rapidly shrinking Fiedler financial resources. continually placed emphasis upon this as an important role of the chairman. “A large amount of time is spent imploring, begging, whimpering, asking for money.” When the money is simply unavailable the chairman’s job is to help establish priorities. Graduate program The English Department and the rest of the humanities must also deal with the lack of jobs in their fields. “What do you do with your Graduate Program when the for which are jobs you presumably training them are disappearing?” asked Fiedler. What they have done is cut their Graduate Program in half and redoubled their efforts to find jobs for those that need them. They have been remarkably successful, according to Fiedler. In part this stems from the fact that the department places a on emphasis heavy inter-disciplinary work. This gives the job seeker an edge over those -continued on page 2 Leslie Fiedler �9J Stealer. M —continued from page 1— M .. students who have come from more traditional departments. “It’s good in a special way” he said, “It’s a non-traditional, opem experimental department. He cites A1 Cook, chairman of the English Department during times of expanding resources, as the man who is behind much of this uniqueness. “He deserves absolute credit” he said. “We hire people because we think they have lively minds and we would like to have them here as part of our community ,”Jnedler said. On the undergraduate level, Fiedler noted that the number of English majors in English classes was decreasing. He has tried to reshape the curriculum to meet their needs as well as the needs of majors “Another thing a chairman does is deal with personnel members. This is a department with 72 members and 72 prima donnas. You have to be a kind of diplomat.” The Spectrum is published Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the academic year and on Friday only The during the summer by Spectrum Student Periodical, Inc Offices are located at 355 Norton Hall.

This is one example of a number of “funny gaps and holes in the University curriculum” that he and the English Department are attempting to fill. He is now reviewing an outline of a journalism program that would involve the English and would be in Department with The Spectrum. conjunction He expressed personal interest in teaching a non-fiction, journalism course in the future. As pertains to the financial future of the department, Fiedler feels that it is still possible to move ahead. “What I learned is that even in times of shrinking resources one is able to move forward in.certain ways, you just have to be more and more does not ingenious.” He support the appeal for more stringent requirements. He feels that it is a “terrible thing” when students are forced to take classes they do not wish to take and teachers are made to teach classes they do not want to teach. “It’s impossible to get back to the good old days. At various places in the country you get this cry of ‘back to basics,’ lets have stricter and more grading he said. “It requirements, already looks too much like the 1970V are turning into the 1950's, jve don’t have to do that ” in the English Department too. The only way we can do it is to find new solutions for new problems.” Relocated at Amherst Fiedler’s large office window overlooks the huge expanse of and unfinished rubble construction work that is the Amherst Campus. One problem facing all departments that have been relocated on the North Campus is isolation and internal loss of cohesion. All English graduate courses are taught there, all the offices are there, but the undergraduate courses are still on Main Street. An oft repeated complaint about the English Department is that Graduate students teach most of the English Composition courses. Fiedler acknowledged that Introductory courses taught by experienced senior faculty members might induce students to continue taking English courses, and said that he has urged the faculty to do this. He pointed out though, that the department does try to support financially through T. A. lines, as many graduate students as it can, and also that an important part . of a graduate student’s training is learning how to teach. “I would never have become a teacher if I hadn’t been assigned a Teaching Assistantship at the University of Wisconsin in 1939. I wouldn’t have known how much I liked It.” Although Leslie Fiedler is an acclaimed writer, he defines himself as a teacher. During his term he has taught a Childrens Literature course, a a course on Distopian Views in Literature and is currently teaching a seminar on Walt Whitman. “I’m a teacher who also writes.

And besides, he lived in Buffalo and hated it.” Special to The Spectrum With their major competitor, the Teamsters Union, peaceably out ot the race, Cesar Chavez’ United Farm Workers (UFW) union has begun a massive campaign to win the confidence of California’s many farm laborer?. . Although sources close to California’s Agricultural Labor Relations Board (ALRB), which oversees farm worker secret-ballot elections for union representation, believe the UFW’s fear that the board will not be refunded when appropriations run out this June is unfounded, spokesmen for the UFW say they hope to have 82 percent of California’s 300,000 field workers organized before the crucial period. California is the only state in the country which has a farm labor law, so when success is in sight for the UFW there, organizers will move into other agricultural states from Texas to New York to establish similar laws that protect the rights of farm workers, who historically have been some of the most exploited laborers. Already activities have begun in Texas. The Texas Farm Workers union, an off-spring of the UFW, has helped bring a bill before the Texas House Agriculture Committee which calls for the adoption of an agricultural labor relations act similar to California’s. (CPS) — Educate As in California, students on college and university campuses have been solicited by union organizers to aid in money gathering activities and in efforts to win the public’s sympathy. The students’ work proved invaluable in Calilornia where they organized boycotts of non-union farm products and helped gather signatures for an initiative that would have, if passed, ensured the financing of the ALRB An aide of the sponsor of the Texas bill. Rep. Gonzalo Barrientos, said they don t expect the bill to pass, “especially since the industry-allied agriculture committee must approve it." but that its intention is “mostly to educate people about the farm workers’ plight." itinued Page two .

The event was co-sponsored by The Student Help Center and The International Living Center (ILC). Leading the panel was Joseph Masling, a professor in the Psychology Department here. He was joined on the dais by two foreign students doing graduate work at this University and two,American students now living in Red Jacket who studied abroad.

Masling pointed out that psychologists and sociologists agree that we get our sense of what we are and who we are from those with whom we interact, especially from our primary group, the family. The foreign student is separated from his primary group and, being in a foreign country, often experiences normlessness.” This condition leads to loneliness and a feeling-of alienation which reveals itself in “hypersensitivity and touchiness.” Sensitivity group One could readily see this theory had become a reality in the comments from the audience when the discussion was opened to the floor. What had begun as a forum quickly turned into a sensitivity group with students from all over the world relating their personal experiences in a variety of soft and harsh accents. This was perhaps the most informative and moving portion of the evening.

As Masling pointed out, “There is nothing you can’t learn from a club in the U.Sl, right down to how to have sex!” But all these replies appeared to be a feeble attempt to play the devil’s advocate. The panel members were trying to anger some of the foreign students out of a certain apathy that leads them to accept their situations and the hostility, or at least the unfriendlihess they encounter daily. If this panel discussion accomplished nothing else, it made some foreign students aware of their common problems and common needs. It also allowed them to release some pent up emotion which may help them in dealing with their Buffalo environment; • The students did qualify their remarks by saying that they were speaking in generalities and that there were, of course, exceptions. Five to ten American students participated in the discussion. These Americans appeared warm, friendly and concerned about the foreign students. Many of them had studied abroad and knew the feeling of being a “stranger in a "strange land.” This gives them an insight that no one who has not gone abroad” could really experience.

Before the law establishing California’s ALRB was passed in 1974, there was a great deal of debate ahdmany physical confrontations between UFW members, Teamsters and farm owners, many of whom are against unionization of their mostly migrant workers. But on March 10, with the signing of a peace treaty between the Western Conference of Teamsters and the UFW, it seems half the battle is over for Chavez’ union, which has been vying for representative control over field workers for many years by using emotional tactics centered on the heritage of the mostly Chicano workers as well as classic organizing techniques. Fed up The signing of the pact by Teamster President Frank E. Fitzsimmons, M.E. Anderson, head of the western conference, and Chavez essentially ends all competition for union representation of farm workers in California and the 12 other Western states that come under jurisdiction of Anderson’s unit. Growers were generally pleased with the pact according to newspaper accounts, since they feel competition between the two unions only served to cause chaos and push wage and benefit demands higher and higher. The agreement is in effect for five years, during which time, Fitzsimmons and Chavez said, “good-faith negotiations” between them for a nationwide pact will be made. Anderson said the best way to describe the historic Teamster decision to bow out and the UFW’s acceptance of the treaty was that “both unions were just fed up with fighting one another.” Also, he said, they realized conflicts between the unions are not in the best interests of the worker. The UFW has spent over $10 million in its organizing manuevers, with the backing of the AFL-CIO. The Los Angeles Times reported a “source” as saying the Teamsters had ipent some S7 million. To show for the investment, during peak season the UFW has contracts with growers which represent twice as many workers as the Teamsters’ contracts; 40,000 as compared to 20,000 workers represented. The pact provides that the Teamsters will honor the contracts that are now valid but will not seek to renew them when they expire. Most of the contracts terminate by the end of next year, Anderson said. Otherwise, the Teamsters will continue to organize non-field agricultural workers, like truck drivers, warehousemen, and those that work in canneries, and frozen and other food processing companies. All field and on-the-farm related workers will be organized by the UFW, unless they vote to remain independent from any union. After signing the peace pact, both Chavez and Fitzsimmons prbmised, whenever possible, to mutually help one another in organizing and other activities.

The Assemby version, sponsored by Assembly Codes Chairperson Richard (DL-NY), Gottfried is a “true decriminalization bill,” according to NYPIRG Director Paul Maggiotto, He termed the one sponsored in the Senate by Senate Codes Chairperson Douglass Barclay (R-Oswego) “a watered-down version.” ■ Most observers feel that a decriminalization bill in some form will pass this session. Student Association of the State University (SASU) Legislative Director Joel Packer feels that “either the Barclay Bill or something close to it will pass. The Gottfried Bill is just too liberal for a lot of people.” The Gottfried Bill passed the Assembly Codes Committee last month, but has been dormant on the calendar since, reportedly because Democratic leadership does not want to e xpose the rank and file legislators to commit themselves until they found out what the Republican position will be. Too liberal Under the Gottfried Bill, possession of less than two ounces of marijuana would be a violation punishable by fines up to $100 and no jail sentences. Under the present law possession of as little as one-quarter ounce is a crime punishable by 7 years in prison. 1 Non-remunerative transfers of''up ‘to up to cine-half ounce will also be reduced to a violation. This includes gifts but not sales, and covers the vast majority of pot arrests. Cultivation of marijuana will also be punishable by a violation. There would be a scale of higher penalties for sale, or possession of larger quantities. , For example, possession of over a pound would be a class E felony (up to 4 years in prison). Sale of any amount to a minor under 16 years would also be a class E felony. All violations and Class B misdemeanors enforceable by either a ticket or summons but not by arrest. Furthermore, the bill allows for “adjournment in contemplation of dismissal (ACD),” making it possible for the court to vacate a conviction under the old law and grant resentencing under the new law. are Users from dealers Decriminalization has been held up for mostly by Republican years, the opposition. However, the New York Post reported last month that Senate Majority Leader Warren Anderson (R-Binghamton) is ready to back the Barclay Bill. With Anderson’s support, it is almost assured passage in the Senate. The Barclay Bill is an alternative to the “more liberal” Gottfried Bill. First, it sets the amount of marijuana that would be a violation at one and one-quarter ounces (as opposed to the two ounce limit offered by Assemblyman Gottfried). The distinction, according to Ned Cole, counsel to the Senate Codes Committee and Senator Barclay, is “purely judgment. Marijuana is dealt in primarily 1 ounce quantities. We added the quarter ounce for the borderline cases.” Essentially, he hopes to, separate the users from the dealers. Unlike Gottfried’s, the Barclay Bill does not allow for any type of transfers or for the resentencing of those convicted under the old law. The Senate bill also does not allow for cultivation of marijuana. Cole feels that if this was included in the Barclay Bill it would “shoot it right down.” Barclay defines a minor as a person under 18 years old while Gottfried sets the age at 16. Both bills allow for ADC’s as well as set the same penalties for violations. Savings , f Assemblyman Gottfried, his in decriminalization memo, listed expected savings of millions of dollars as a reason for marijuana reform. “Every year in N.Y., about 20,000 of our neighbors are arrested for simply possessing marijuana,” the memo said. “These prosecutions cost taxpayers over $30 million, and take away police and court time from real law enforcement. Thousands of lives are scarred every year. And our out-moded pot laws breed disrespect for the law among law-abiding citizens.” Cole said that the “disparity in the laws and in sentencing are major reasons for sponsoring the bill. The difference between New York City and the rest of New York Sfate is astounding. A District Attorney in New York City has announced he won’t prosecute marijuana offenders to a Grand Jury (felony charges) unless the person has ten pounds of marijuana. In upstate New York, everything over one quarter ounce would be a major bust.” Cole credits student groups, most notably the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) and SASU with leading the pro-decriminalization push. He added that, “most of the letters we are getting now are favor of in decriminalization.” Cole feels that the Barclay Bill, “is as far as the Senate will go. But he is leaving open the possibility of further' negotiations. Whatever the outcome. Cole feels it will be “better than the present law.” If a compromise is reached, the bill will probably pass before summer and become law as soon as Governor Hugh Carey signs it. A COLLEGE RING. It’s a symbol for life Monday, 28 March 1977 . The Spectrum . Page five �t -v * Frats coming back fostering new image that’s boy-scoutish by Daniel W. Lindley Special to The Spectrum (CPS) Fraternities, once reviled for their secrecy and bacchanalian hooliganism by many upstanding citizens, later shunned by anti-establishment the student bodies during Vietnam war era, have rebounded the nation’s recent during woes economic and are flourishing at most places where they are permitted. And to forestall any undue griping by local pillars of their communities, some Greek societies are promoting publicly studiousness, of an image and an almost humility, boy-scoutish concern with helping the local community. — A spokesman at Pi Kappa Phi national headquarters in Charlotte, N.C. estimates an average 15 percent annual gain in enrollment amongst the 4,600 fraternity chapters listed in the United States and Canada. the National According to Interfratemal Conference, average chapter size dropped drastically after 1965 and bottomed out in 1971. Since then, the membership per chapter.‘Iras risen t,o nearly equal the 1965 high. The trend to swelling fraternity chapters is especially apparent on large campuses and state universities and on the East and West Coasts. The Pi Kappa Phi spokesman attributes his organization’s rising popularity to a change in student m attitudes as well as to the effects of an unstable national economy. Warm and cozy Fraternities an provide adjunct to classroom work, with real, live human beings, and they members a taste of give organization. Some also think'that membership might provide them with ‘in’ prospective employers.” J erry Callups, executive secretary of the Southeastern Interfraternal Conference (SIFC), concurs and adds that “running a f it Uvi i ■ i'f'1 i “r • fraternity can be like running a small business our chapters have • — budgets ranging from $18,000 to $170,000 a year.” “The fraternity provides a transferring place for students from the warm, cozy home to the cold, cruel world,” Gallup says. One advisor fraternity that student speculates preference for beer over drugs has helped stimulate Greek membership. “Kids did dope in small groups,” he explains, “but they like to get together in large groups to drink beer these days.” When they are not drinking, beer, piany chapters seem intent on displaying their scholastic and humanitarian achievements. One Oregon accounting fraternity, for instance, is helping puzzled collegians fill out their tax forms. A society at a Kentucky college is taking a collection to help pay off the medical bills incurred by a local man who is drying of cancer. And a new-born fraternity at Birmingham State College in Alabama announced in the campus newspaper that it “is not just another Southern group. It’s a National Service Fraternity founded to assemble men who hold to the principles of the Boy Scouts of America .. .” Watch your drinks Some societies are requiring that members maintain at least a 2.00 grade point average and a fraternity at a Pennsylvania college, after years of collectively poor marks, is boasting that its, members’ GPA last semester is superior to that of non-members. Most Greek representatives claim that hazing, defined usually as physical or severe mental punishment of pledges, has become less popular. SIFC Executive Secretary Gallups also believes hazing is down (“although they just may be better at hiding it”), but adds that “hijinks, doing silly things for fun, has increased.” Gallup’s hypothesis may draw credence from recent events at one campus where members of a. secret society that is sworn to “be terrible unto the wicked'and to be ever true in friendship and Add a new international dimension to your college career with a Fairly serious incidences of hazing still do occur. A University of Texas-Austin Phi Delta Theta chapter was placed on three years probation last February for coating pledges with cornflakes, mollasses, eggs and tabasco sauce and then poking several with electric cattle prods. Another UT chapter caught a six-month for suspension requiring its pledges to ingest a stomach-curdling combination of raw eggs, limburger cheese, jalapeno peppers and cod liver oil. One woman who was roughed up and threatened by 15 members of a Missouri fraternity had to be rescued from the Greek abode by two friends. She warns women of the world to “watch your drinks and drink only what the guys do. They sometimes put things in the drinks.” SOCIAL WORKERS DON’T SACRIFICE YOUR EDUCATION JUST TO GET A JOB Israel Offers Careers in Social Work. Immediate Positions Open.

In white with a blazing black print on the front commemorating that day. by Steve Lemken Special to The Spectrum (CPS) Let’s face it, the utility companies are currently playing with a stacked deck. The majority afe privately owned, government sanctioned monopolies that are providing what is rapidly becoming an extravagant service to many citizens across this country. Many of these consumers are plain pissed off, and that feeling is spreading. Citizens are organizing around the country, lobbying to get fair, more humane rates, by demonstrating and petitioning against rate increases, and demanding that the often times pro-utility regulatory commissions stand up for the household consumer. The consumer-citizen wants to put a fresh deck into this game, with the people in the dealer’s seat. Consider the following: The 52 largest light and gas conglomerates averaged a 13 percent gain in net income in 1976. That was a bit lower than the previous year’s windfall, which was 20 percent. Utilities were allowed rate hikes of $4 billion in 1975 and $2 billion in 1976. According to the industry’s house organ. Public Utilities Fortnightly, the private utilities are seeking an additional $4 billion in national increases for 1977. The mecca of money-changing and powerful defender of the status quo, Wall Street, is hooked on the profitability of utilities. For 1976, the Dow Jones industrial index climbed 11 percent and the utility stock barometer went up 22 percent. They return a steady eight percent on bond investments. The fuel adjustment clause, bestowed upon the utilities by the Federal Power Commission (FPC) during the 1973 oil embargo after they cried “low profits,” permits the utilities to pass along, to the consumer, the cost of any rise in fuel prices. - - — — \ Z'' I j'jhI / A Vi y An assortment of sizes.

Furthermore, a congressional committee last year discovered that the clause, enacted by 43 states in 1974, brought the utilities $6.5 billion in price hikes, a 400 percent kicker over their 1973 costs. Can there be any wonder why Detroit Edison received 10,000 complaints a day for two weeks after announcing a 50 percent increase in gas charges? Or why in Pittsburgh, protesters, masqueraded as ghosts to protest “phantom taxes” charged by the Duquesne Light Co., yet were never paid to the state or federal governments? And again in Denver, a coalition of 25 church, student, environmental, neighborhood, and senior citizen organizations have met with Colorado’s governor and public utility commission demanding open, accessible hearings, fair and quality utility service at the lowest possible price to consumers, and to demand an end to the fuel adjustment clause. The epitome of utility consumer price gouging can best be seen in New York City, where Consolidated Edison (Con Ed), has repeatedly beat down the people and small businesses with pollution, excessive rate hikes, tax evasion, excess profits, bad management and regulation which could put the federal overseers of CIA activities to shame. Con Ed rates tripled between 1965-75. It has received five electric rate increases since 1970, with another pending for $250 million.

The Spectrum . Page seven �L_ EditPrial IMPORTANT NOTICE Why GSEU failed The Spectrum’s new phone numbers, effective immediately, are: 831-5455, 831-5456, 831-5457 Take note that the numbers that were posted in last Friday’s issue of The Spectrum were incorrect. Our old phone numbers are no longer in effect. The promise of warm weather gives hope each spring that at least one cause may capture the students' imagination and be given its day. Each year of our undergraduate careers we have seen a small tide of political insurgency rise and fall over the following issues: the passage of the Reichert Prospectus for the Colleges in 1974; the Attica trials in 1975; budget cuts and the politics of academic planning in 1976. The failure of the Graduate Student Employee's Union strike referendum was especially disappointing to us because the moral question behind the Union arguments was strong. Ask Robert Ketter and Albert Somit: they will tell you about the number of cut graduate lines and the unrealistically small stipends for GAs and TAs. They can even tell you about the ways the State Legislature may cut the Tuition Assistance Plan even further. Apart from the legalisms of Union recognition, the Union leadership sought help from its constituency to make Ketter break with administrative protocol and take a dramatic, public step toward remedying the graduate student plight, if that's what it can be called. The reason the strike vote failed may be found in the fact that the wages and conditions of work of graduate students varies greatly across departmental lines. As a result, the difficulties of living on a wage standard set ten years ago, are not distributed equally among all GAs and TAs. The second reason may be that this year, unlike last, the issue of budget cuts in general is less actively protested, leaving GSEU somewhat isolated. It is also imperative to realize that many TAs and GAs either voted no or didn't vote because support for the Union may have made them suspect within their departments, or because of outright fear of administrative retribution. This last point is important for the future of the GSEU leaders, many of whom made a great personal sacrifice to further the cause of the Union. We will be watching carefully in coming months to be sure that GAs and TAs are not terminated for political reasons or quietly conforming to the status quo. GSEU's position now is very weak. The Union has succeeded, though, in forcing the Ketter administration into needed public debate on issues administrators would rather not discuss. The Union has also put forward a viable, fact-oriented analysis of the budget and the University. Their point of view, it should be remembered, was endorsed in essence by University administrators, who maintain they are constrained by law from acting on it. The specific issues addressed by the Union remain unresolved. The failure of the strike vote (and it would have been a failure even if it were one vote in favor of striking) attests to the corrupting influence of those who already have a stake in the status quo, and therefore fear administrative retribution. It is also a pointed reminder that the style of activism which flourished here in the late sixties and early seventies is inappropriate for this generation of college student, no matter how good the cause. This may be the last hopeful spring the University sees in some time. Editor-in-Chief Managing Editor Managing Editor Advertising Manager — Richard Korman — — Business Manager Arts . . .

The Spectrum Vol. 27, No. Bonds for people 1 would like to take this opportunity to clarify information which the Graduate Students Employees Union has caused to be published in The Spectrum on two separate occasions. The GSEU spoke of an incident in the Physics Department where the chairman attempted to influence the students decision as to whether or not the student decision will honor the strike, if a strike were called. Such was not the case and could not be to be the case by any stretch of the imagination. In the Wednesday issue of s The Spectrum, the GSEU disclosed the contents of construed a distributed to a limited number of graduate assistants, which the GSEU determined to be of an intimidating nature. That which was quoted in The Sped nun is as follows: “Please let me know and certainly no later than 10 o’clock tomorrow morning whether you intend to participate in the proposed GSI U strike.” Such wording can hardly be considered threatening. Let me elucidate the events which form the background of the aforesaid incident. The Assistant to the Physics Department Chairman was asked by the administration to give a report detailing the possible impact that a strike would have on the services rendered by the memo, Department. He in turn distributed a memo to faculty asking them to poll >fheir assistants to determine how their particular course would be affected. Some faculty met with students on a one to one basis, asking the student if he would honor the strike and informing the student that he would have the support of the faculty member regardless of the students decision. Other faculty members chose to distribute a questionaire. One of those questionaires fell into the hands of the GSEU, who naturally attempted to use it to their best advantage. At no point was there ever any threat against the teaching assistants expressed or implyed. The questions were asked only as a means of generating information,' information requested by persons outside the Physics Department. 1 suggest that the unfavorable voter response was not caused by intimidation by the various Departments, but rather was caused by the fact that most students do not want to lose their non-employee status, do not want to take valuable time away from their work and furthermore they do not want to bring about the creation of another power group on campus. Thank you, Boh Joseph Bhtyxics Teaching Assistun I �Hypocricy on Record Coop The following letter was sent to Vice President and Management Edward Doty. Gross mistakes on resume prices for Finance To the Editor. In reply to a letter submitted by Mr. Fred Gross regarding resume prices at University Press and two unnamed commercial printers, 1 would like to submit the following facts: 1) The price quoted for University Press is not that of a one page resume printed on ordinary (no. 24) bond paper from a camera ready original. The price quoted includes, in addition to printing, complete' preparation of a typeset mechanical from the customer’s original rough draft. This process involves some consultation about the layout of the resume and its contents. Typeset resumes are not offered by the vast majority Of commercial printers because they do not have the equipment necessary to produce typeset resumes. 2) The prices quoted by printers “A” and “B” do not include printing on no. 24 paper. The paper is far from “ordinary” since the actual wholesale cost of 500 sheets of this paper.is about $3.50 above that of sulfite bond paper. I checked the price of printing 500 sheets from a camera-ready mechanical at Latko Printing. The price on sulfite bond paper was $8.55. Latko Printing would charge an extra $5.00 for printing on ripple paper which still does not compare in value to our 24 pound paper. 3) The price structure of resumes at University Press does not include printing a camera-ready, typed mechanical. We have found that customers are rarely satisfied with the product when they compare it with the typeset resumes we have on display. When a customer requests a resume typed and printed, we send them directly to the printer because I will not assume responsibility for the printed quality of a typed resume. 4) While 1 support Mr. Gross’ efforts in his comparison shopping of resumes, I would suggest that in the future he not compare apples with oranges. His statement and statistics were not gathered with care and the results of his “investigation” are damaging to not only to University Press but also to the students who, having read his letter, will not avail themselves of the unique service that we offer. The hundreds of customers who have praised our services insist that the quality and appearance of our typeset resumes are worth every dollar spent. Linda Enke, Manager University Press I have been noticing over this semester that bpokstore ads for records have been appearing in The Spectrum. They are allowed to advertise, but the record coop is still not allowed to. As I see it, the bookstore is an organization operating under New York State support in direct competition with private enterprises in the community. In fact, the Bookstore is operating in direct competition with Cavage’s Record Store. It seems hypocritical that the Bookstore is allowed to advertise their “discount aww.wsHimiHKratimi houip records” while the Coop is not. The Bookstore doesn’t have crippling sales ceilings either. If the Cavage’s suit leads to the Coop’s closure, I see it setting a precedent leading to the closure of the FSA Bookstore. 1 would hope that you are working for a speedy resolution of the suit in the Coop’s favor. I would like to see Coop advertisements alongside the Bookstore advertisements' again. The Coop is an important cultural resource to the UB community.

Transcript service found inadequate THAT'S THE TROUBLE WITH FREE ELECTOR -YOU CAMT BE SURE WHO THEVtL VOTE FOR To the Editor. It is clear that the occupations of students after they leave the university reflect on this institution by either increasihg or by diminishing its prestige. It is also true that excellent job, graduate program, and internship placements are becoming harder and harder to procure. In view of these facts, it seems to us that it is in the university’s best interest to do whatever possible to help its students compete for these various positions. One way the university can provide this kind of help is by promptly sending academic transcripts to specified institutions. In applying to predoctoral clinical psychology internship programs and graduate schools, we have discovered that a number of institutions will not begin to review applications which are not complete; completeness, of course, is contingent on the receipt of academic franscripts. We have found U.B.’s transcript service to be inadequate. Compared to about ten other-university transcript services with which we are familiar, U.B.’s system changes the most, delivers the least, and consistently errs in its service delivery. U.B. is the only school with which we are familiar which did not forward us receipts for each transcript which they mailed. These receipts are important in letting students know that their transcript requests were received and that no accidental omissions will cause them future problems. This procedure would likely save time for transcript workers since they must now answer time-consuming individual requests of students asking for verification of the status of their files. We found long delays and incidents of clear incompetence in the handling of our transcript requests. Most of the other transcript services we used sent us receipts within two weeks of the initial requests. Several incidents will help contrast U.B.’s aware that several institutions had not,received these transcripts, an inquiry was made. When the proper file was located, the requests were found with a pencil mark on the top transcript indicating that copies should not be sent until current grades were available. Someone in the transcript office had apparently altered these requests which were filled out in ink and had thus put the student’s applications in jeopardy. The transcript worker apologized but the transcripts were already late in most cases. Another of us called the transcript office to inquire about requests placed five weeks earlier (in mid-December). After remaining on the line for about ten minutes, while workers were audibly having trouble locating the proper file, the caller was told that the transcripts would be sent out the same day. When an explanation was asked for, none was given. It was clear to the caller that the file had not been in line to be processed. In another case, a transcript requested in mid-December had not arrived at its destination by February 15. The applicant received a letter stating that he would not be considered for that graduate program because his file was not complete. In our experience the transcript service is poorly designed and appears to be poorly managed. Getting this department into shape should not be a major undertaking, but would definitely make a difference in helping students make a smooth transition from school to careers. Until these steps are taken we recommend that students request transcripts two months or more before they are due and that they call or stop by the transcript service office at least once to assure that their requests are being processed properly. service with the others. One of us requested several transcripts on December 13. On January 13, when we became Monday, Mark Ackerman Catherine Garvey Brian Lewis Scott M. Monroe Mary V. Solan to Janis M. Soma 28 March 1977 .

Services there included free check-ups, X-rays, prevention and cleaning. Because of Idsing their grant money, this facility will be closing for good in May, unless funds are found to keep them open. Since the—service is open to all University students, some who have never been to a dentist before, I feel that something should be done to prevent this from happening. Mark Teitelhaum clarification Tie line To the Editor. TRB, Old Roger Sherman had the right idea didn’t he, there at the Constitutional convention: the common people, “should have as little to do as may be about the government. They want information, and are constantly liable to be misled.” So they set up the Electoral College in Philadelphia in, 1787 to safeguard America from the common people. We honor our Founding Fathers; lean, sharp-nosed Sherman was a Founding Father; he must have been right. We have been celebrating bicentennial forebears men like John Jay who declared, “the people who own the country ought to govern it.” What are Vice President Mondale and President Carter and Senator Birch Bayh doing now, proposing to abolish the sacred College? Mondale had the audacity to quote his boss as saying, “The history of our Republic from the earliest days has been the removal of arbitrary and unjustified barriers to citizen participation in elections.” Ha! Tell that to F. F. Sherman, F. F. Jay, et al. The vote was too precious to pass around, they thought 190 years ago. President Carter picked Fritz Mondale as his agent in transmitting the sweeping proposals for election reform to Congress, and the relationship between the two men deserves to be explored. It is an important fact in the city. The cordiality between Carter and Mondale is one of the nicest things in Washington. The vice presidency is among the toughest jobs on earth. Who can be a successful spare tire? What did William A. Wheeler think of Rutherford B. Hayes? What did Garret A. Hobart do for William McKinley? But Fritz Mondale (formerly one of the best men in the Senate) seems to be having influence on the inexperienced Carter Administration and boy, how they need it. The two enjoy each other. At the glamorous Gridiron Club Dinner here the other night, with the distinguished audience in rented white ties and tails, and the Marine Band smashing out patriotic marches, the two put on, straight-faced, what turned out the best skits of the show. Mr. Mondale explained that he was really the big shot of the administration and argued that this could be adduced from available evidence. He was surprised that the unobservant press had not caught on to it. After the Inaugural, he asked, which of them rode down from the Capitol in a limousine, and which walked? As the audience laughed he continued: Which of them carried his own luggage? Mr. Mondale cited other examples: he was the one who traveled to Paris, London and Rome, wasn’t he, while the President went to humdrum places like Pittsburgh, Springfield and Charleston, West Virginia. Yes, explained Mondale, with mock gravity, he went to London and stayed with the Queen at Buckingham Palace while the President was staying with a beer distributor at Clinton, Mass. It was funny enough, but more important was the evidence that the Carter Administration can laugh at itself. This is very welcome news in this born-again, you-all atmosphere. Mr. Mondale went — Page ten . on to explain, straight-faced, that the Ford administration was seometimes criticized for devoting its breakfast to foreign policy; the Carter Administration has arranged things better, he said: it has a new foreign policy for every breakfast. Mr. Mondale paused at this point to say that he had just received a note; a note ah that told him that he must turn in his limousine at 11:00 ,,Does that include the suit, too, Mr. President? he asked artlessly. Yes, it was funny. The Carter speech was good, too. And now we come back to affairs of state and the White House message last week about election reform which Mr. Carter told Congress “the Vice Prsident and I have developed.” The extent of the Mondale participation we don’t know, but between the two of them they have come through with an important, substantial legislative recommendation: nothing less than to bring the US into line with every other developed democracy on earth by putting the onus of voting registration on the government, not the citizen. Also, by Constitutional amendment, they propose to abolish the Electoral College. The percentage of Americans who vote is “a disgrace and scandal, with shockingly low voter participation,” Mr. Mondale told the press last week. Less than six out of ten voted last year, the worst rate in the world except for Botswana, Chad and Yemen. Why is it? The facts are on record. It wasn’t always this way. In the latter half of the 19th century voter turnout in US presidential elections ranged from 70 to 80 percent. But then the second-generatoion immigrants and the blacks wanted to vote. There was big city corruption. Stern restrictions on voter restrictions on voter registration were imposed; ostensibly “reforms” but often with the idea of good old Roger Sherman that the masses were dangerous and should be restrained. Since 1900 we haven’t seen a 70 percent turnout again. In 1972 only 55.4 percent voted; last November it was down to a shocking 53.3 percent. Meanwhile up in Mondale’s Minnesota they instituted registration so simple that a citizen can go to the polling place and show his identification and vote then and there. Minnesota had a 72 percent turnout in the last election, highest in the nation, and not a single charge of fraud was filed. Three or four other states have similar records. Why not do it for the nation, asks Carter-Mondale? And why not have the Federal government drop its passive role in registration? Other democratic governments defray the cost. Canadian registration officials make a door-to-door canvas and prepare ad hoc voting lists at a cost of about 70 cents a voter; it costs about $15 million and around 75 percent vote. How about abolishing the Electoral (College with its winner-take-all provision in the states? In 1967 the American Bar Association commission called it “archaic, undemocratic, complex, ambiguous, indirect and dangerous.” The ABA, US Chamber of Commerce, AFL-CIO, UAW, League of Women Voters, and extaordinary coalition supported the direct vote plan, like Carter’s. The House passed a proposed Constitutional Amendment, 339 to 70, in 1969. Then it sstalled in a Senate fillibuster. Surely now its time has come. The Spectrum Monday, 28 March 1977 . - — .. - I would like to address Mr. David Rubin’s article on tie lines appearing in The Spectrum Friday, 25 March 1977. Mr. Rubin interviewed me while a Finance Committee meeting was in process. I asked that his questions be quick and brief. Unfortunately due to the nature of the interview, Mr. Rubin slightly misquoted me, at least once Changing the jntent of the quote and in another instance apparently drew conclusions while ignoring other things I had told him. The corrections I would like to cite are: (from the article) “However he could have acted between February 19,: . and the time of his illness.” This is not correct. Steve Schwartz (then President of SA) had called the President’s office on Monday, February 21st to set up a meeting between that office and the students concerned. Mr. Rubin appears to imply that I, acting Treasurer at the time, should have gone over the President’s head and acted. I disagree. We were merely waiting for a meeting which never materialized. Secondly, Mr. Rubin quotes me as saying “to make a political issue out of it.” What was said, or at least intended was, we felt the administration was making a political issue out of it. By this (and I did mention this to Mr. Rubin), I meant that the action could possibly h»ve been aimed at particular groups (for example, . NYPIRG). In any case, we will be meeting with Dr. Ketter ■soon over this issue, and hopefully a better solution will result. Neil Seiden, Treasurer Student Association HUMAN RIGHTS MESSAGE �Shea s Buffalo Theater King and Bland merge their distinctive sounds by John Fliss Photography Editor The evening of Saturday the 19th at Shea’s Theatre, B.B. King and Bobby Bland manifested a “Blues” that fit into the modern sound; some jazz, some rock, some dance, some soul mixed with an abundance of the solid blues that ■-■make these men — distinctive. The show opened with Bland’s back-up “Memphis” showing off their tight horn section on a few funk-type tunes. Accompanying the horn section were a clean and delicate lead guitarist, a precise bass, and a smooth rhythm guitarist and percussion. They all seemed to be crying for the completion of this conglomeration. Finally, the first trombonist introduced the “Reverend” Bobby Bland who leisurely strolled out with the patiently awaited instrument, his voice. Bland projected a preacher with his spiritual honest and freeness in style radiating throughout the hall. Legendary Beale-streeters Robert Calvin Bland was born 46 years ago about 60 miles from Memphis, Tennessee and was raised on the rural blues of Blind Lemon Jefferson. After a short spell with an amateur gospel group and a short while as chauffeur for B.B. King, Bland became the vocalist for the now legendary “Beale Streeters Band,” where B.B. sat in from time to time. While in the service he was seen in a talent show in Houston by Duke-Peacock Records president 11 Doit Robey. Rbbey signed him and put out a couple of records before his enlistment up. was One disc was labeled “Army appropriately Blues.” The Beale Streeter went on to become Duke Record’s largest - selling early artist. In 1955, a year after his departure from the service, “It's My Life Baby” became his first hit, followed by “I Smell Trouble,” “Little Boy Blue,” and “Cry, Cry, Cry,” but it wasn’t until 1957 that he began to gain his own following. A melodic marvel Though one might have heard “Call it Stormy Monday” a thousand times before, Bland let it flow out as a fresh experience. While his brass left the stage, Bobby at last let lead guitarist' Photos by John Fliss Johnny Jones solo, reminding him to “keep it slow” and “squeeze it.When Jones squeezed out a vibrating note which sent chills up and down one’s spine, Bland jested, “B.B. won’t like that.” Often Bland ended a note with a eructation that made even catching his breath a melodic marvel. With the sell-out crowd showing its appreciation for what had just taken place, Bobby leisurely walked off clutching his sweat-filled yellow handkerchief. The stage was then quickly set for “The King” and his men. Without any delay the fresh musicians took on the same basic structure of the former band, minus a couple of trombones and trumpets and with the addition of a baritone sax. This group, led by guitarist Milton Hopkins, slowed down the tempo from that of Bland’s band. Halfway through the tird tune, B.B. trucked out. plugged in “Lucille” and began warming her up damn quickly. He then led into “Let the Good Times Roll” and they sure as hell did. B.B. King, 52, now has more command than ever over both is high, clear voice and his weeping guitar. Bland, however, reminded him to take his time. Instinctive blues Coincidently it wasn’t until Riley B. King went into the army that he got into the meat of his blues, as was also the case with Bobby Bland; so that’s what the army’s good for, the blues. B.B. grew up in an atmosphere where blues singing was spontaneous and instinctive. His mother had him singing gospel at age five and at six, he picked up his father’s battered guitar and started strumming. farm outside of he . was by everything in his drawn environment toward a life of singing and playing the blues. It is Raised Indianola, on a Mississippi, interesting to note that this fertile area of land of northwest Mississippi produced other giants such as Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Jimmy Reed, Robert Johnson and Bill Bronzy.

Page eleven �Utilities —continued from page / ... For example: in January, the Minnesota Supreme Court overturned a county district court’s ruling which had said that Northern States Power Company could charge small residential users higher electrical rates than big businesses. The lower court contended that the lower costs of delivering energy to large users should be the main criteria for setting rates. By the reversal, the high court upheld a decision of that state’s public service commission and its policy making powers, concurring with the agency that industrial users can better afford higher utility rates. The decision also places the burden for energy conservation on the big users. Citizens in California and several other states have got, or are in the process of obtaining. Lifeline rates through their legislatures and regulatory* commissions. This type of rate structure would allow persons in a fixed jit low-income bracket to pay a predetermined, reasonable utility rate. The current payment structure allows utility producers to charge minor low users much more than major kilowatt users. In Colorado, a citizens’ group known as the Colorado Utilities Taskforce (CUT), has received a “95 percent” promise from the governor that he’ll provide money to pay a pro-consumer expert to testify at upcoming rate hearings before that state’s utility commission. CUT has also succeeded in getting the commission to agree to scheduling night hearings on methods to determine certain utility rates. Legislation has been introduced in Congress for a national Lifeline rate act. And another bill, due to be introduced within two weeks, would provide some reform and goal setting measures in the utility field. And in cases where utility companies have cut off service for either alleged or actual non-payment of bills, customers of the Philadelphia Gas Co. successfully argued in a federal court that cutting service to a customer who may be correct about payment of a bill, without an impartial prior hearing, amounts to deprivation of property without due process of law, guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. However, no one has yet questioned whether the cutoff of power to people who can’t pay their bill, and die from that action, as happened in Ohio this past winter, is actually “legal” murder by a utility company. It remains to be seen. In any event, the abuses of and by the utility companies, and citizen efforts to halt them, will continue to be recorded. But much, much more is needed than that. Let’s face it, the joker in this game is ultimately the government, and until the consumer-citizen gets the voices they elected to speak to these types of issues, the game is still rigged. gathering on Storm clouds horizon it’s in the stars (CPS) If you think things are bad now, just wait until the next decade it looks worse, a well-known group of stargazers is - — — warning. “A lot of astrologers are worried about the 1980s,” says Robert Hand, a member of the National Council for Geocosmic Research. “We don’t know what is going to happen.” The problem it seems, is that the planets are heading into an unusual alignment starting in 1980 that is similar to the alignment they were in during World War Two.

Reiss Chess club promotes their game on campus by Paige Miller This year, under the leadership of president Mike Wawrzyniak, the University of Buffalo chess club has done a lot to promote their game throughout the University. The club has held tournaments, sponsored teams, and even travelled to the Attica Correctional Facility to inmate’s chess club, and they have more planned. The club has approximately twenty steady members, and they meet every Thursday night to play chess. New members are always welcome. The club’s strongest player, Jerald Meyers, is a rated master and is probably the strongest player in Western New York. He is a senior, majoring in economics. Other strong club members include Experts Ron Kensek and Barry Davis, and Class A players Dave Levine and Wayne Gradl. “A” team upset The club sponsors four teams in the Niagara Frontier Chess League one team in the “A” division (for stronger players), and (NFCL) three in the “B” division. The “A” team recently advanced to the NFCL championship, upsetting the top-rated team, Jaws, in a semi-final game. In that match, Levine and Don Christie both recorded draws for Buffalo, and Bob Wiseniewski recorded a win. Of the three “B” teams, the Amherst Super-Bees are currently leading the league. The other two teams, the Euwe Bees and the UB Team 3 have not had as successful a season as the Amherst squad. The club recently concluded a “Thursday Swiss” tournament a five round event in which twelve players competed. The entry fee was $5 and ninety percent of the entry fees were returned as prizes, while the remaining ten percent went to the club’s meager treasury. - — Earlier in the decate Jimmy Carter authored a book entitled Why Not the Best? And today baseball people all over America are asking, “Why not the Yankees?” Good question. Not since their dynastic days have there been more reasons to assume the Yanks will waltz their way to the American League pennant, or at least to the Eastern Division title. Among their assets are a triumverate of multi-million dollar ex-free agents (Catfish Hunter, Reggie Jackson, and Don Gullett, in monetary order), superb speed, solid hitting, average defense and the best pitching this side of Shea Stadium. In addition, they sport an MVP, a home run champ and a red face as a result of last year’s World Series disaster. Only dissention and problems at short stop should , Jceep the Yanks from making it two in a row. Or the 5 Boston Red Sox. Boston suffered a terrible let down last year after their pennant in 1975, but the Fenwayites should be on the rebound. The Sox’ hitting and defense are strong and if they are able to overcome mediocre pitching and return to their form of two years ago, they could cause a dogfight in the East. Indians ride dark horse The Cleveland Indians may be the dark horse team of baseball this year. Frank Robinson has helped build a young team whose crown jewel is center fielder Rick Manning. The pitching staff was bolstered by the acquisition of Wayne Garland, but the Indians, after starting fast, will probably wind up third. The Baltimore Orioles were devastated by the free agent draft losing Jackson, Garland and Bobby Grich. Only pride, defense and amunhappy but Cy Young Award winning Jim Plamer will prevent the O’s from dropping beloW fourth. The Detroit Tigers can be thankful they traded for Rusty Staub a year ago and stumbled across Big Bird Fidrich, but not much else. The Milwaukee Brewers can be thankful only that the Toronto Blue Jays were created, which should save them the embarrassment of finishing last again. And the Blue Jays? Well, they should be thankful that they exist. The newsmakers in the American League West this winter were the California Angles, who with the help of cowboy-singer Gene Autry’s checkbook, Trip to Attica Bob Prager took first place in that tournament, defeating Bruce Topa in the final round for the title. He won thirty dollars. Other prize $18) and Dean Barron and winners are Tobin Nilson (2nd place Wawrzyniak (tied for third $3 each): The club co-sponsored with Community Action Corps (CAC) a trip to Attica earlier this month. The ten players who made the trip spent the day playing chess with the inmates. Before they left, they made arrangements to start a postal chess tournament with the inmates. The club is planning a ham radio match with Michigan State University on April 23, to be held in Squire Hall. They are also trying to arrange a simultaneous exhibition with International Giandniaster Arthur Bisguier. A speed chess tournament is also in the woiks. For more information about the club or its activities, contact Mike Wawrzyniak at 895-643 I. cornered three of the most prized free agents inflhe market. Bobby Grich, Don Baylor and Joe Rudi all jumped teams to sign million dollar plus contracts with Califqrnia, turning the Angels into.Contenders. something they haven’t been in their sixteen year existence. The three new millionaires will give the Angels an offense to combine with their already formidable pitching staff which includes strike out artists Nolan Ryan and Frank Tanana. However, holes are abundant elsewhere on the Angels and the new California gold rush may not be enough to catch the defending champs from Kansas City. Royals return strong The Royals, frustrated from their eleventh hour defeat in last year’s playoffs at the hands of the Yankess, did not join in the free agent signings but are still probably the best of the pack. John Mayberry got some home run hitting tips from ex-champ Roger Maris and could held the Royals’ cause immeasurably with a comeback. Batting champ George Brett and fleet Amos Otis round out the crew which should face New York in a playoff rematch. The Minnesota Twins finished third last year and it was pitching, or rather the lack of it, which prevented them from placing higher. It will again. Even all that hitting, and the Twins are the best with the bats in the A.L., can’t make up for that folly floater pitching. The Atlanta Braves traded half their team to Texas in exchange for Jeff Burroughs, a deal which has to help the Rangers. With some strong performances, the Rangers could surprise and move up considerably in the standings. In any case, they should finally be able to pass the Oakland A’s, a feat they have been attempting to accomplish for years. If anyone was hurt more severely than the Orioles by the free agents, it was Charles 0. Finley’s beleaguered A’s. Only Vida Blue remains from the ’72 champs and even he hopes to find peace elsewhere. The A’s will probably have to settle for fifth. The Seattle Mariners have been scoring lots and lots of runs this spring and it will be interesting to see if they can become the first expansion team not to finish last. They probably won’t, but if not, the White Sox won’t have anything to Say about it. They are just as terrible as last year and should not ruffle too many feathers. — - (WE ACCEPT *•••••••••••• j • FOOD STAMPS) JOLENE'S PIZZA DELI I - - $2.50 Small Cheese Pizza "We Deliver" • - / 1:00am - 2:00 am Fri. • • • J $1.50 25c Del.

A growing demand for improved winter driving conditions has led to demands by the City’s Street Sanitation Department to Mayor Stanley Makowski for widespread application of winter maintenance by the City of Buffalo in order to investigate ways snow removal operations can be improved. Their ultimate purpose is to make suggested recommendations to Mayor Makowski concerning future winter maintenance measures. Problem areas “The roads in Buffalo are terrible and are 20 years overdue for complete reconstruction.” said Louis Pfohl. Manager of the Safety Department for the American Automobile Association (AAA). Pfohl measures “Thy disastrous winter that we have just blamed inadequate road repairs on Buffalo’s eroding experienced has made it quite evident that the City tax base V caused by the exodus of businesses and of Buffalo is totally inadequate to handle conditions people to the suburbs. “Roads are poor because we such as we encountered.” explained James Lindner, simply don’t ahve the money to make the necessary Commissioner of the Street Sanitation Department, repairs.

James and Fremming. representatives of the State Division of the Budget (DOB), the banks indicated they were not initially aware of available safeguards to their investment. They will announce their decision within two weeks. Purchase of these bonds would actually mean S16 million to the resumption of Amherst projects, since the state has pledged to market an additional SI3 million if the S3 million local commitment is made. During the meeting, bank representatives maintained they had never been presented with a written Set of conditions specifying exactly how and where the bond revenues would be used. The Housing Finance Agency (UFA), which issues all construction bonds, has promised it will draw up a written document by the beginning of next week. Request written guarantees The conditions set by the banks include the following; a written guarantee that the bonds will be specifically used for Amherst construction, and would not travel to other areas of the slate; that the bonds'are amply backed by future tuition revenues; and that, the $3 million is the limit to their commitment, Ketter went on to assure them that their obligation is only to guarantee the bonds, which means they can either keep or sell them, according to their preferences. If the banks.agree to guarantee purchase of the bonds within the next two weeks Amherst construction can resume within 90 days, Ketter said. The purchase of the S3 million in short-term mites, which will bring in another SI3 million in bonds from the state’s open market, should instill confidence in HI-A. which lost solid footing during New York’s recent spell of fiscal difficulty. If trust is restored, more bond of the heart(h) sheds light that, in all its accents, has but packages are expected to be issued within the next few months to restart the SUNY system’s many stalled construction projects. . ~ Ketter reported that although the meeting was at first tense, it adjourned on a generally optimistic note. “I think we can pull this thing off,” he said, adding that the banks were initially resentful of the pressure placed on them by the state. However, after Ketter’s hour-long speech, the bankers appeared -continued on page 4 �Storm yields extra charges during the week of May 15, according to Director of Food by Jeffrey M.

In explaining the University’s position, Lorenzetti said representation of individual stirtlents in court does not adhere to SUNY guidelines for use of student mandatory fees.

Constant battle A recent amendment to the fee guidelines, adopted by the SUNY trustees, has complicated the issue. The amendment allows fees to be used for “student services to supplement or add to those provided by the University.” Since its issuance, the Administration has refused to apply the amendment to the Group Legal Services proposal. According to Lorenzetti, “We are waiting for clarification from Albany as to the meaning of the Editor wanted Applications for the position of Editor-in-Chief of The Spectrum for the 1977-78 academic year will be accepted until Wednesday, March 30. The application should be in the form of a letter to the Editorial Board stating reasons for interest in the position, qualifications, and previous journalistic experience. The position is open to any student enrolled at the State University of New York at Buffalo. The Editorial Board will interview all candidates on Wednesday evening, March 30. Prospective candidates are asked to contact Richard Korman, Room 355 Norton Hall, to familiarize themselves with procedural questions about the position or about The Spectrum. ’ ' amendment, the Student Association of the State University (SASU) President Frank Jackalone, had programs just such as Group Legal Services in mind when he worded it. Lippes sees the issue as going deeper much than legal representation. He claimed to be involved in a “constant battle for student rights and services. If the Administration takes the position that student fees can’t be used for something as important as this, who knows what will come next?” Lippes feels the Administration even be tampering with students’ constitutional rights. In a case involving the Student (SA) of Erie Association (ECC), Community College Lippes argued for the SA’s right to hire an attorney using fee State Supreme Court money. Justice John H. Doer wrote tljat by denying that opportunity, the may ECC administration the students’ first had violated amendment rights. If the Buffalo case goes to similar lengths, Lippes expects to have little difficulty in getting a favorable ruling. “I feel very confident as a lawyer that we could show this is a violation of first amendment rights,” he said. continued on One good turn deserves another. From one beer lover to another. page 26 by David Ziffer Staff Writer Spectrum The University is about to begin a gradual evacuation of the Ridge Lea campus, as a result of a decrease in the rental budget for next year. Several departments will be moved to locations on both the Amherst and Main Street campuses. Vice President for facilities Planning John Teller said the University will have to move a “very substantial” number of units. According to Telfer, the Division of the Budget (DOB) ordered the move, and originally requested that all of Ridge Lea be vacated this year. The University was unable to comply with this request because the deadline did not allow for adequate planning. Five years ago, this University rented property at over forty locations, at a cost of about $3 million per year. The University now rents space on less than ten locations, costing less than $1.5 million in annual rent. Still, DOB has requested a substantial decrease in next year’s expenditures. Slow to leave Last year, DOB asked that the University vacate the B£ll facility by April 1, 1976. Due to the massive facilities there, the University could not comply, and the completion date for the move was pushed back to September of this year. After the move, the saving in rent will be half a million dollars. The University administration hopes to save the same amount at Ridge Lea. Assistant Vice President for Facilities Planning John Neal said five buildings will be vacated by September and four more by sometime next year. According to Neal, the departments currently slated for the move are: Geography, which will move to Fronczak; Sociology and Political Science, both of which will move to Spaulding; and Mathematics, which will ultimately occupy space on the Main Street campus. The University will no longer rent 4236 Ridge Lea, which houses the cafeteria. Neal said some sort of food service unit will serve the campus, but not in its present form. It is possible that a private entepreneur will move in and open a cafeteria. Lost classroom space at Ridge Lea will be replaced by equivalent space at the Amherst campus. Eligible to leave Neal said several factors were taken into account in the decision as to which departments would move, one of which was department size. Another was the amount of lab equipment owned by the various departments; those having much equipment were considered less eligible for the move. The University also had to consider the contiguousness of the vacated buildings, since contiguous buildings would probably be more attractive to, prospective tenants. The administration also attempted to keep departments from the same faculties together. According to Teller, none of the departments has complained about the move. Teller anticipates that those departments moving to Spaulding will appreciate the move, since the bedrooms there are generally larger than most offices on the Ridge Lea campus. The administration takes a dim view of the move, however, and is trying to minimize the inconvenience involved. Neal expressed his dissatisfaction, saying, “It would be nice to have facilities here at Amherst ready instead of pushing people into temporary locations.” 1 * WBEN, Wm.

NOW SHOWING STUDENT DISCOUNT CARD AVAILABLE AT OUR BOX OFFICE �Experimental video: a cultural alternative by Susan Schachter to the catho-ray tube, which, replicated its Spectrum Staff, Writer image and projected it through a closed circuit system. “Let’s originate our own video and then it will eventually take over the world,” was the slogan of a small group of excited individuals in the late 1960’s, who experimented with video systems (small format recording systems) as a cultural alternative to large network programming. Video a multi-code of meanings ranging from signals utilized by television systems to a mode of mass communication presenting the viewer with information of social, political, and artistic importance. It originated as an electrical image, non culturally defined, and evolved into a culturally defined publicly broadcasted image, then to a computer image, and finally to the video independent approach, or individually made programs. Catho-Ray glow To appreciate the transformation of video from an electronically controlled signal to its present experimental format, one must return to the time period around World War I, when the catho-ray tube was invented to monitor activity within an electronic circuit. The catho-ray tube had a stress of electrons running through it that hit the face of the tube (phosphorescent material) forcing it to glow. Someone named Philo T. Farnsworth applied his imagination to the concept of the catho-ray, and found that the electronic beams on the tube could be used to scan a rectangular signal. By controlling how dark or light the beam glowed, he found he could produce an image. Legend has it that the first image he created was the dollar sign; ironically, he never received any credit for his creation. Black and white television stemmed from the discovery, of the pick up tube, or camera tube, a partner Television boom Television (TV) did not get off the ground until after World War II, when production capacity in the American electronics industry was geared up for war time. After the war, it was feasible to mass produce TV receivers for the home. The late 40’s brought a boom in television sales, and an influx of. people from radio to television such as big name broadcasters Edward R. Murrow and Fred Friendly. The technical quality of television then was different than it is today. All TV shows were done in black and white, and the only way a show could be prepared before hand and shown at a later date, was if it were recorded on film and projected into a camera. 3. Currently, there are two New York born and -bred athletes playing as it was being presented into a video monitor, then take a film camera and record on film the performance on video. This is known as kinescoping and is witnessed every time we laugh it an old Honeymooners, Groucho Marx, or Burns and Allen re-run. Video tape recorder In the early 50’s the television industry expanded, but there were no major breakthroughs in video until 1956 when an engineer at Ampex (the largest American manufacturer of professional broadcast quality audio recording equipment) developed a video tape recording system in his spare time. Programs could be recorded now and then shown at a later date, and capture the image quality of a live the performance, rather s than two-dimensional flat film image. In the middle of ’,56, Ampex Corporation created an earthquake in the ■broadcasting world by marketing the video tape recorder. The first to be hit by the tremors were small scale, financially independent stations, who were regularly fed programs by the networks. Previous to the purchase of the video, an independent station in Nebraska received the 11 p.m. news from New York at midnight or I p.m., an undesirable time for public broadcasting. The new video equipment enabled the news to be stored on tape’and played later at a more desireable time.

They could be part of a creative process by making programs that were interesting to them and relevant to their community, and putting them tin cable. Cable television sparked more interest in the individual video format, which was witnessed by an onrush of street corner video shows and playbacks of tapes made locally in store fronts. Video activity swept through major centers of culture such as San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. An unexplored medium, with the wave 6f an electronical engineer’s magnetic wand, channeled itself before the eyes of many individuals. Its appeal was universal; stimulating the minds of engineers, physicists, media specialists, and artists alike. Delving into a scientific whirlpool of atoms, protons, electrons and nutrons, they came up with images and concepts never before expressed.

Cable television enjoyed clear reception without the usual interference of airplances. and opened up many unused channels for experimentation. Federal Communications Commission head Nicholas Johnson, was enthralled by the possibilities of cable TV, and instituted legislation that made it mandatory for every cable company that serviced over “x” amount of people in an area to maintain a facility available to any community member interested in making a program and sending it out on the air. ‘The Video Rover’ The 1960’s brought a new expense to the home of the American consumer: the color television. Channel 4 was first to be entirely in color and the other stations soon followed. Huddled around a television set, families waited for the multi-colored National Broadcasting Company (NBC) peacock to wing its way down to their screen, greeting it with renewed exclamations of awe each time they saw it. Along came Japan’s booming electronics industry, partially made possible by the money pumped into its economy by the United States, via the Marshall Plan. The first Japanese innovation was an attempt to make a video , recording device cheap to be afforded by public enough institutions, eventually appealing to the home owner. After much labor, the Japanese came up with the half inch video small, color tape recording format capable, and relatively inexpensive. In 1967 Sony went one step further, introducing into the American market the portable, battery operated, video tape recorder, called “The Video Rover.” An electronic orgasm shook the world. Anyone who could come up with $15,000 could make, his own TV, and see his own image on the screen. The system was turned around from a one way mass media, where the power lay iri the hands of a few, to an individual enterprise.

Page five �Refrigerator size limit will not take effect in September by .’David Malat Staff Writer Spectrum A proposed regulation to allow refrigerators no larger than nine cubic feet in dormitory rooms on this campus will not go into effect next September as was originally planned. The refrigerator limit issue was resolved at a Monday meeting held between the Inter Residence (IRC), Council Student Association (SA) and the University Administration. However, there will be a stringent registration and inspection process to be folloVved next September. Questions arose dealing with safety and health problems caused by the older refrigerators students Housing Director often use. Madison Boyce has said in the past that he felt units being brought in were not clean enough and may be infested with insects. He cited an incident where a very old refrigerator leaked toxic gasses and a whole dorm had to be electrical demands placed by the larger, older models was too great for the electrical system to handle. He pointed out that 260 circuit breakers went off this year, thus necessitating some kind of control. Clifford Wilson. Associate Director of Housing, added that the buildings were not designed for this heavy load. Cudeck stated that the majority of the circuit breakers went off in the late afternoon and on weekends. Brad Koshar of IRCB quickly pointed out that the units run all day and to say that they caused all of these & evacuated. Director of Custodial Services Richard Cudeck stressed that when refrigerators are transported into the dorms, they were improperly handled and elevators and halls. He discussed accident that occurred in •Governors Residence Halls when a an glass door valued at over SHOO was shattered by a refrigerator. He said also that approximately students leave 40 units behind for Custodial Services each veaf move out to Conserve energy energy-conscious what Len Snyder.

He cited a 1475 survey that indicated there were 1000 refrigerators in use in rooms and he felt that that figure is underestimating what the true total is now. He concluded that by eliminating the older and larger refrigerators, the problems would simply be reduced.

Friday, 25 March 1977 �Theatre Department production The Bacchae'integrates man s reason and passions by Fredda Cohen However, Pentheus, Managing Editor stubbornly The Theater Department's production of The Bacchae reveals the painful'truth of the universe: simply, one must swing with it. The production itself searches for truth in faithful interpretation of Euripides' play Greek theater is emulated with precision, in resulting performances that truly bring forth the philosophy of its authors Euripides was the most humanist of the three major Greek Unlike playwrights. Sophocles focused and Aeschylus, creations on his he the society of man, and not its deities. Although The Bacchae centers its plot around Dionysus the god of wine the theme stresses the interrelationships of mankind, and — — each individual's internal conflicts. Dionysus, son of Zeus and a mortal woman, Semele, returns to the City of Thebes, seeking recognition of his divity. Semele's sisters, Ino, Alonoe, and Queen Agave's i son. King will not relent, refusing to recognize Dionysus, setting himself up for revenge. Reason versus passion We see in the play that one adhere to the laws of the land and the gods in order to exist peacefully. Complacency is the ultimate goal. While Euripides shows no reverence to the gods, he knows they must be appeased and humored. The older, wiser men of the city realize this, also. Kadmus begs of his grandson Pentheus to honor Dionysus, even if he does not actually believe in the god. Obstinancy is Pentheus' dangerous worst, and most attribute, and ultimately leads to his demise. "A strong-headed man is in danger to the state," Eriresius warns him. "Be not governed by one single certainty." Pentheus falls victim to his own repressed drives. Enticed by the tales of the women in the who are reveling forest in must sensation, ripping apart animals and bathing in their blood, he is animal His dismembers him mother own In essense, Euripides maintains that passion and reason must be reconciled and integrated. There can be no polarities the human spirit must remain whole. Directors Linda Swiniuch and Clyde Grigsby adhere to this theme; the setting (by Sandra DeCarolis) comprised is of interwoven boards that create an assymetric stage. There are no boundaries, as such Splendid performances The costumes (by Anna Marie Brooks) are spectacular and befit the Greek tradition. All the actors are masked, as in classical Greek times, further highlighting the dialogue, as facial expressions go unnoticed. Keith A. Watts is an angry and When Dionysus. powerful necessary, he projects his voice like thunder, instilling fear and passion in his victims. The lighting enhances this power, adding color power. and he On stage, commands the full attention of his audience, asserting his godliness. John B. Emmett portrays an equally strong Pentheus which in Greek means ."almost a god Especially poignant were Paul Kawalec (Kadmus). and Gary Berger (Teiresius) as the .blind prophet who sees through wisdom and experience. The Bacchae incorporate dance music to project their passions. As a chorus "under the they influence remain anonymous and bound by their god. They dance across the stage, and trailing moving in the different levels. random order The choreography implies chaos and confusion. Finally, Joan Calkin as Agave renders most diverse performance. Her mind poisoned, she carries the head of her son on a stick, gloating over her victim She, too, can hunt, she says. Agave, do not believe he is a god, and are therefore transformed into frenzied worshippers, devoid of reason. Along with the other women of Thebes, these Bacchae retreat to the forest, manifesting their sensual drives in the form of orgiastic rites. Agave's father, Kadmus, and Teiresias, the blind prophet, follow Dionysus, but with intelligence, rejoicing that "even old men can dance." tricked by Dionysus, who appears before him in the form of a magician Instead of acknowledging his own passions, he symbolically hides from the women and watches them: involvement through voyeurism. However, sensuality without reason is an equally dangerous state. Pentheus is discovered by the women, and under their trance, they mistake him for an Gods and men Yet, when Kadmus brings her to the realization that she had killed her own son, her face controls suddenly, and she is grief-stricken, alone and pathetic. Her final-actions of the play mark Euripides' message. She places the pieces of her son's body in order so he -can successfully journey to the Underworld of the Dead, a gesture symbolizing the restoration of society.

And even though for five years that anthem was almost obligatory as their opening number, using the new "Hotel California" in that slot didn't hurt a bit. In fact, it seems to signify that their metamorphosis from "mellow country-rock group" to a professional and proficient top-ranking rock and roll band is on the verge of completion. The top-ranking part has already been taken care of commercially. The new album shipped platinum, and the Eagles have been selling out tours for a couple of years now. It will be very unusual if this juries of concerts doesn't take care of the critical aspect of the change. Saturday's show in Rochester was diverse enough for any critic or devotee. As an album. Hotel California provided solid ground fQr new member Joe Walsh and lead guitarist Don Felder to stand on. As an opening number, it showcased these two as integral forces. Standing together for the extended jam at the song's end, they made up in guitar solos what drummer Don Henley's voice lacked on this song. There was a danger in opening with "Hotel California," as it is written in the uppermost register of Henley's range. His voice strained several times, especially on the chorus. But Felder and Walsh are masters of their craft, and were able to carry most of the weight here. Something happened on the first chorus that I've never seen, though: when all the Eagles stepped up to their mikes and sang that first four-part harmony, the audience thundered its approval. Apparently the mixing of fiery guitars and smooth vocals is better chemistry than some may have imagined. Another good contrast was use of an acoustic rhythm guitar, adding a note of delicacy to the searing leads. Sick mind Since One of These Nights, Glenn Frey has been more in the background on record, as far as lead vocals. But his role as audience contact is still quite visible. "Hello Rochester. We're the Eagles from Los Angeles." That line may be used in every city they play, but the crowd still goes wild. And aside from Prodigal Sun the public relations angle, Frey's voice still symbolizes the beautifully constructed harmony ballad. His lead vocals on the renditions of "Lyin’ Eyes" and "New Kid In Town" were two of the strongest the entire evening. As a band produces albums, it becomes harder to play older and less recognized songs at a performance. To avoid this predicament, the'Eagles performed all the "Doolin-Dalton" segments of Desperado. This is always my favorite part of their show. From the first harp solo, through Frey and Henley's lead vocals trade, up until the last note of the "Desperado" reprise, these are the numbers that are far more spectacular live than on record. I felt a collective shiver go through the crowd as Henley hit an exceptionally amazing opening note on the His "Desperado" reprise. improved voice tremendously from "Hotel California" on this, hs second number, and only got better as the show progressed. With each listening, it becomes .more obvious that Joe Walsh was the only guitarist to replace Bernie Leadon as an Eagle. With his gypsy scarf and ridiculous facial expressions, I guess he really is a "sick mind." But his four numbers Saturday night were among the very best ever in an Eagles concert. As a matter of fact, I'm still trying to decide if "Walk Away" wasn't the best song of the night. It was much more like the James Gang than the version on his current live album. And strange as it seems, I really like that nasal quality that would probably be annoying in any other singer. "Seeeems to.meee, you just turn your pretty head and walk awaaaaaay." He outfit, but his musical skill really is the clown is consummate. He is also extremely important as the perfect complement for Don Felder. Their solo work on "Turn to Stone" was some of the only unstructured jamming of the performance. Amazing Admittedly, most of the show was comprised of rockers, rather than ballads. Besides "Hotel California," they performed a searing "Victim of Love," and "Life In the Fast Lane," a song guaranteed to be as demanded in concert as -continued on page 1C Friday, 25 March 1977 .

Fleetwood Mac last regrouped in 1975, after eight years of amorphous existence, and change, their to the personnel subsequent suddenly became once-sporadic success overwhelming. A totally new sound first appeared on the definitively entitled Fleetwood Mac (their eleventh U.S. album) which, despite being a superbly crafted piece of very listenable "light rock," surprised the AM airwaves with three hot hit singles and eventually became Warner Brothers' all-time best selling album. All this, plus the foreboding news of serious emotional discord (the two married couples within thr group were splitting up) put the new release Rumours on the "most eagerly awaited" list, right up there with such disparate species as ELF, Stevie Wonder and the Beatles. Well, the public lucked out this time Fleetwood Mac has come up with a nearly flawless to paraphrase sequel to their previous chartbuster Jon the wrods of counterculture prophet Mendelssohn, Rumours is "one of those albums which you will find yourself listening to not only time after time after time, but also time and time again, as it is jam-packed with intriguing nuances and so on." Those aware of Fleetwood Mac's manifold early creativeness (Then Play On) may still bemoan their near-total personnel and style turnaround, and snooty FM anouncers may want to disassociate themselves entirely due to last year's singles, but Rumours, taken at face value, is something of a but in a’different way. Her three compositions here seem to dominate the album, beginning with "Dreams," a direct rebuttal to the optimistic "Second Hand News," which precedes it on side one. The refrain "Thunder only happens when it's raining/Players only love you when they're playing" is as compelling as it is well-sung, and the song ranks with "Landslide" (from the last album) as a superb example of Nick' songwriting. "I Don't Want to Know" is another possible capitalizing on its "hitbound” item, love-lost-but-cheerful lyrics, a splendid arrangement and Hollies-type vocals harmonies. However, the — — masterpiece. A lion's share of Fleetwodd Mac's strange new vitality can be traced directly to the efforts of Lindsey Buckingham and his wife Stevie Nicks, the newest additions to the band's line-up. As replacements for bland singer/guitarist/composer Bob Welch, ("Future Games," "Hypnotized") this ultra-attractive couple brought with them an infectious folk-rock style already proven on the Polydor album Buckingham Nicks. Their sweet harmonies and his extensive, skillful use of guitar overdubs gave Fleetwood's music depth and direction so badly needed during their last three albums with Welch (Penguin, Mystery to Me, Heroes are Hard to Find.) Buckinham, whose many guitars provide the Get a jump on the baseball season with Panic Theatre's production of the Broadway musical Damn Yankees.

His electric guitar work owes much to the blues-rock tradition of which Green was once an unheralded master, but Buckingham adds his own dose of L.A.-country consciousness and acoustic charm which transcent the usual British rock cliches. His inventive, often dense guitar arrangements make auditory delight, particularly Rumours an throughout the second side (production credit is given to the entire group.) The acoustic-electric transformation and rhythmically charged ending of "The Chain" (a group composition) evoke strong memories of the 1968 Fleetwood Mac, but the enticing Buckingham-Nicks round-robbing vocals make the song unique and exciting in its own right. Although he tends to drown out Christine McVie's keyboards at times, Lindsey Buckingham in no way dominates Fleetwood Mac as a songwriter or singer. His voice, ("Monday Morning," "I'm So Afraid" from the last album) although hard-pressed at times, is pleasingly reminiscent of Danny Kirwan's, and his three catchy contributions to Rumours should be marked "hitbound." In fact "Go Your Own Way," with its "born to run" drumming and Eagles'-sounding refrain, is already heading that way, although it appears to be a good song anyway. On "Second Hand News," a delightful romp-and-roll-in-the-hay, slight hints of the early sixties, plus the incredible precision of the singing, are proof positive of the strength of the Fleetwood fledglings as a team. Ironically enough, on these two songs, as well as the tritely fingerpicked "Never Going Back Again," Buckingham is joined by Nicks is unforgettable harmony, in singing about a subject they must know quite well their own split-up. Although it was only hinted at on the last album, Stevie Nicks has become one of Fleetwood Mac's most important assets. A welcome complement to McVie's vocals (Nicks sang "Rhiannon," McVie sang "Say You Love Me,") she annoyed some with alternately sweet/shrill delivery and contrived vibrato, but has mellowed somewhat since, adding sultry/seductive to her list. Like those of Buckingham, her songs stand out on Rumours, — Catch A Rising Star On Tour, featuring talent from the New York nightclub showcase for new talent, will appear Sunday, March 27, at 8:30 p.m. in Spaulding Cafeteria, Ellicott Complex.

Friday, 25 March 1977 album's most engaging cut (another one of Nicks' best) comes at the close of side two where haunting and appropriate instrumentation composition combine perfectly in "Gold Dust Woman." Throughout, Ms. Nicks' eerie vocal sounds like a refined Pattie Smith (her stylistic antithesis) whom even the lyrics seem directed to: Rock on gold dust woman Take your silver spoon. And dig your grave Heartless challenge Pick your path and I’ll pray — Christine McVie, who has been with Fleetwood Mac since the Future Games album (1971,) rounds out the band's current triad of singer-songwriters. Although her vocal and keyboard skills have improved greatly in accordance with her "bandleader" status, her compositions, which stood out on the last album, have grown weaker with Rumours. "Don't Stop" is sort of fundamentalist barrelhouse-boogie, whose main saving grace is ,a vocal trade-off between her and Buckingham. (Their voices are very similar at times, as evidence on "World Turning" from the last album.) well-recorded live cut A deceivingly ("Songbird") sees Christine aspiring to be Joni Mitchell reasonable lovesong lyrics, solo piano accompaniment but her predictable, laboriously inflected vocals smack more of Elton John. Her best two compositions come on side two, with two more self-denying love songs, "You Make Loving Fun," and -."Oh Daddy." The former is an enjouable disco-flavored rehash of "Say You . Love Me," brightened by the soothing Buckingham/Nicks harmonies, and the latter a deftly arranged but downtrodden vehicle for McVie's dusky, emotional — — vocal. Credit was given earlier to Lindsey Buckingham for providing "musical Backbone" on Rumours, but upon reflection, such praise seems perhaps misdirected. Bassist John McVie (the "daddy", in "Oh Daddy") and drummer Mick Fleetwood (the only band member never married to another band member) are Fleetwood Mac, in both name and deed. Having been with the band through all their permutations, Fleetwood and Mac can play anything, any style, in any way required, and are perhaps the best pop-rock rhythm section around today. Always precise and never obtrusive, they often sacrifice complexity (of which they are quite capable) for mucical continuity, at no expense to the sound. A good idea of just how tasteful and proficient they are would be impossible to convey in this limited space, but trust me. Get hold of Rumours and listen to it carefully, either time and time again, or time after time after time, whichever you have time for. —John Duncan Prodigal Sun �Eznlyn Williams young Thomas into rustic, ribald .adulthood.

Instead, Williams simply walsk out, in a perfectly ordinary business suit, and talks. He describes a man's life his memories of childhood, his fantasies and fights, family, friends, and characters. He does so without a hint of the ponderousness "befitting such a great man."

Mr. Williams does not Less restrained than in his Dickens performance, Williams is able to create a vast array of characters and locales with nothing other than his voice and Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Kirkatron (Warner Brothers) This is Rahsaan Roland Kirk's first album released since the stroke body. He shows us boys lying on he suffered last year, which paralyzed one side of his body. Kirk has the beach, spinning magic futures, the schoolyard companions, been blind since early childhood, He had an eye problem since birth enemies and chums ("War begins and story has it that when he was one or two years old a nurse camy in the school playground"); the into work drunk or high or mad at someone, slipped and put too muc(j men of the village who conduct medicine into his eyes, causing him to lose his sight entirely. One of Kirk's longtime trademarks has been his use of two and three instruments simultaneously. He first began to experiment with this around 1951. Another of his trademarks are two of the instruments he plays, the stritch and the manzello, which are made from parts of other instruments. The stritch looks like an elongated straight soprano sax, but is actually a straight alto. The manzello, which sounds like a soprano, looks like an alto sax with the bell of a bass clarinet. Kirk also plays tenor sax, B Flat and E Flat clarinets, flute, piccolo, English horn and an assortment of less orthodox instruments, among them black puzzle flute, nose flute, black mystery pipes, whistle, thunder sheet and palms. Since he suffered the stroke, Kirk never plays more than one instrument at a time. He has modified his flute so he could hold it down like a soprano and his sax so he could play it with one hand; all this after the doctors said he would not play again. When he did play more than one horn, he employed a technique known as circular breathing, which only a very few musicians have mastered, recently among them being Sonny Fortune. In circular breathing, you are breathing in through your nose while at the same time breathing out through your mouth. This is a great advantage to a horn player because you do not have to stop to take breaths. Rahsaan is definitely one of the most dedicated players around, and this is exemplified by the fact that he continues to play after his stroke. On his latest effort, Kirkatron, Kirk plays flute, tenor sax, manzello, and Liricon. Three of the tunes were recorded live at last year's Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, before he suffered the stroke. Kirk plays his nasal style of flute on “Serenade to a Cuckoo" with occasional moans and groans between phrases. It is a well-known fact that Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull learned his flute style from Kirk. Anderson even recorded "Serenade" years ago. On the other two cuts recorded at Montreux, "Bagpipe Medley" and "J. Griff's Blues," Kirk plays tenor sax and manzello simultaneously. "Bagpipe Medley" had Kirk imitating a bagpipe by playing sustaining notes on his tenor, then playing the medley above them with the manzello. A march rhythm is created by the snare drum of Sonny Brown and Todd Barkan on tambourine, with Kirk playing an Irish march with his horns that blends into a variation of "Oh! Suzannah." My favorite cut, "J. Griff's Blues," starts out as a straight ahead blues with Kirk doing his best blowing on the album. About half-way through, the band falls out, leaving Kirk to blow alone and the crowd loves it, clapping in unison to the beat. The tune ends with Kirk holding one of his famous long notes, and the crowd eats it up. Kirk's live cuts are usually better than his studio work because the audience turns him on and the showman in him comes shining through. Many people put Kirk down, saying he is a big ham, but that is all part of his act. He is a true performer. Also included are Kirk's version of Leon Russell's "This Masquerade" (no, George Benson did not write it) and Stanley Turrentine's "Sugar," with lyrics written by Kirk and well sung by Michael Hill. On Dizzy Gillespie's "Night in Tunisia" there is good solo work from Stephen Turre on trombone and Hilton Ruiz on keyboards, whose strong playing is heard throughout the album, with the exception of "Christmas Song." As usual, Rahsaan is backed by good musicians on this album. Included are: Buster Williams and Milton Suggs on bass, Charles Persip and Walter Perkins on drums, Cornell Dupree on guitar and a longtime side man, Howard Johnson, on tuba. On "Lyriconon" Kirk plays an instrument called a Lyricon, which soulds like an outerspace organ. There is good brush work by drummer Jerry Griffin and nice bass playing by Mattathias Pearson. "Steppin' Into Beauty" proves once again that Rahsaan is also capable of playing the hell out of a ballad. He is very medolic and has soft, beautiful tone on this tune. Hilton Ruiz again shines through on keyboards. As if all this was not enough, there is even a short interlude by the Los Angeles Negro Chorus: rounding out the album is Kirk's "Bright Moments," with lyrics by percussionist Todd Barkan. If you are into Kirk, this album is a must. For those not familiar with his music, "Kirkatron" is a good sampling of what Rahsaan -Russ Surmanek Roland Kirk is all about. And — — , To paraphrase Hamlet, Prince of Denmark one of our more intriguing theatre critics Emlyn Williams' performances at the Studio Arean Theatre please not the million. Caviare to the general they are, but caviare to the particular fine, rich food for thought. His run concludes tonight and tomorrow night with the last two showings of Dylan Thomas Growing Up. If you have anything less than your own funeral scheduled, cancel it and see this wonderful show. Unlike his Chalres Dickens evening, Williams doesn't offer an impersonation of Thomas not that it would be difficult for him, Fair trade Dickens emphasizing that to be easier to enjoy is not to be superior. Both are brilliant pieces of stagecraft; both demand only a small quantity of attention invested to yield great enjoyment. .. — RECORDS Friday, 25 March 1977 The Spectrum .

They act as if they know all as they speak, incoherently, about quickly, Talas, Rick Derringer and Manfred Mann. They know it all. It is 7:30 p.m. and Derringer has just completed his sound check.

About how this girl and I curled up and . . About the smiles and the memories. As I blink, it is realized I am giving Manfred Mann's Earth Band less freedom than the Buffalo crowd gave Talas and . Talas as bread pudding Talas is probably the biggest local band in Buffalo, t. am told the copy tunes Talas interprets drive bar audiences into a frenzy. This comment reaches me as not one based on a feeling of lauded simple, but as a esteem, straightforward admonition. Talas has attacked my ears more than once and I know and fear what is hurts coming. My stomach already. The band consists Of a bass player, a drummer and a guitarist. Talas' originality consists of turning up the amps and speakers while, ALL WAY THE at the same miraculously synchronic time, turning up the bass and guitar reverb ALL THE WAY.

In the lobby,, the fans of the sixties invasion, still bastions of early rock 'n roll, cover their ears. The sound is still too loud. Someone in the audience cries above all the chaos, "Turn it up. Crank it up!" The intermission is strange as all are off balance .from the sounds of Talas. Many local bands are here this eve and they sit in boxed seats with their egos bubbling over onto the audience. They are the kings and victorious warriors of the Century. This dream they believe, although the clique has never encountered a true battle of bands. The peace is plastic and ephemeral. They are imprisoned by their renditions of copy tunes. Made famous by the Stones, Bowie and the Tubes, they rest on the sharp and pointed laurels of established national bands. These groups are the enemy of originality who fear the technology of the jukebox. Some day, it may cost them their $300 dollars per night gigs. And Talas was paid little or nothing this evening. The kids do not care about this because they, too, are ephemeral. wire-braced Photos by Pam Jenson thirteen years of Manfred Mann's appreciating him and the tonight's Earth Band for past, performance.

His voice is strong and crisp and clear during fifteen minute, powerful tirades like "Love in the Sun."

The synthesizer notes tap the ear quickly and the creativity is appreciated. The sounds are not too avant-grade to be overly peculiar to understand, nor are they too simple.

Guitarist Dave Flatt provides just enough interpolation on the basic melodies to yield the finest in rock 'n roll energy. The best part of the Earth Band is that they are well balanced. No one is overshadowed and no one is neglected. Bands work the best when they are a team. Musicians must be well versed in their art if the balance is to succeed.

I felt disappointed, as Pablo Cruise deserves more recognition than that, A Place in the Sun being their third album, ahd receiving a good deal of media coverage at that. Cruise encompasses an assortment of styles, but refine them for their own tangy results. A key note is not to spend tons of time searching out profundity in their lyrics, as this is not Cruise's speciality. Consider lyrics the "side dish" to the "main course" the original delightful musicianship and dynamite spirit that makes their music — we played too long." The people in the club seem to enjoy the folk act onstage. The candles on each table flicker from the air set in motion by the audience's applause. Mann grabs one of the candles and lights his cigar with it and, subsequently, makes some observations as to playing in small clubs. "This is something I've always dreamed of doing. It would be good to play in a place like this where the audience doesn't expect too much. It would be just me and my synthesizer. But it would be pretty hard I mean the keyboards are so large. And then people would recognize me and say, "Poor Manfred Mann. Look what he's reduced to now playing in a small club like this, — — Innerview Mama's Pride, Uptown and Lowdown (Atlantic) with LA. Can a St. Louis Rock band which records in California and Uptown but on No, sessionmen produce good Southern Rock? Lowdown, Mama's Pride tries. From the album's jacket to the polyvinyl incisde, boys frorn attempts to prove its southern authenticity. Just like the band's members some of the would, Outlaws Tucher, or The Skynyrd, reference to Mr. album’s cover. A their hats on are sportin' cowboy bogus Charlie Daniels which is found on the album's back cover: seems rather than genuine Southern. than Mama's Pride sticks to the typical Southern lineup with more are shared between one guitarist leading the band. Lead guitar duties guitar is Dan Liston and Max Baker; likewise, Pat Liston's slide on Paul Willet bass, on Steltonpon, tunes.Dickie prominent on most s the band comprise Sanders on drums and Keven keyboards, unremarkable, but competent rhythm section. Though none of the songs are awe-inspiring, some of Danny pimples in Liston's melodic leads could conceivably bring out the goose clean and Liston's highpoint, album's the some. In "Merry-Go-Round," flowing lead is reminiscent of Dickie Bett's lead in "Blue Skies. Though Pat Liston's slide guitar sounds simplistic in "Long Time," the interplay album's longest cut, Danny Liston's and Max Baker's guitar anybody, boogie out the most in can bring The album's six remaining tunes range from less successful to unsuccessful. "Can I Call You a Cab," "Lucky Lady," "The End of the Road," and "Now I Found You" are all upbeat, rhythm and blues influenced songs. Bad vocals and harmonies, plus simple use of strings and horns, (something I detest,) make these songs offensive. "She's a Stranger to Me Now" reminds me of the Eagles' "Doolin Dalton" without the storyline; "You Can't Fool Yourself" is a pretty ballad, but has hokey lyrics. Though this album has some highlights, it is the least exciting Southern album that I've heard yet. Supposedly, Mama's Pride is St. Louis' hottest bar band. On this album they fail to live up to the —Andrew Ross reputation freshly invigorating. It's all a form of "getaway music," as the band invites us along with the light, fluid guitar playing of Dave Jenkins, who knocks off with ease soaring melodic lines. There are many things that go right for Pablo Cruise that make then sure-shot winners the members play together as one musical force, each instrument blending neatly with the other, the fiery singing of both Jenkins and bassist Bud Cockrell and the building of each song until it bursts with pure joy. — Most of the first side is very good, getting a little weak at the end. The last couple of songs on this half, "I Just Wanna Believe" and "Tonight My Love," are not powerfully withstanding next to the other tunes, perhaps too lighthearted in comparison. Side two is virtually flawless, not letting up for a moment. The 9-minute "Can't You Hear the Music?/Never Had a Love" is a harmonic fireball, an example of Pablo Cruise at their cookin' best. There is the sentimental I'm-Leaving-You-Song, "Atlanta June," and this blends in with a Santana-styled insturmental, "El Verano," a stunning concluding cut. A Place in the Sun is an exciting, sing-along album, surely made to give a great feeling to any listener. Pablo Cruise shouldn't suffer from non-recognition, so find you place in this album. —Drew Reid Kerr "I couldn't stand the pity. I'd after the first JADE LOUNGE TAVERN probably be bored week anyway.' The duo is stopped and people begin to leave. Flatt stipulates "I could swear I heard some jazz riffs on the electric guitar." Mann nods, then asks, "Shall we leave GOOD now? We've got to re-record "Spirits in the Night" tomorrow in New York." Outside, the rain is coming down heavily. It is good, this rain, and cleansing. It is rhythmic and rhymes sounds in the puddles.

Rumors from Rochester had it that the Peter Gabriel Concert was a musical failure; both Gabriel and Television were booed in that city. True, the cound system there was faulty, but there must have been other reasons for the bad reception. Whatever the case, the performance of Peter Gabriel and Television in Buffalo last week was far from disappointing. Due to some’ difficulties in getting a ticket, this reviewer missed about half of the set by Television,' the opening act. For the uninformed. Television is a facet of the phenomenori known as "punk rock," which has been creeping steadily westward from its origin around New York City. (But, yet has to meet with any widespread acceptance outside of that area.) In contrast to the simplistic styles of many of their contemporaries, Television displayed a sound that was fairly complex, featuring a geat deal of guitar chord layering and some inspired drumming. Nevertheless, the audience response was at best lukewarm, and semetimes unfavorable. In fact, around the middle of the very abbreviated set, someone shouted, "Change the channel!", (A more complete and informative review should appear elsewhere in this paper.) No Genesis concert A brief 'sound check, and Gabriel's banid took to the stage. From its onset, it was obvious that Peter Gabriel wished to break all ties with his old band, Genesis. Clad in something that resembled a glorified warmup suit, he appeared, sitting at the piano, playing the opening bars to "Here Comes the Flood." That was it. No capes, no costumes, no theatrics, no aging 500 years in 5 minutes. This was Gabriel pure, but not at all simple. He must have played the first strains of "Here Comes The Flood" only to set the mood of the show, for immediately after this introduction the band erupted into a totally new and unrecognizable song. It displayed a high level of energy, one which was to be maintained throughout most of the concert. As should have been expected with Gabriel, this concert was not put together haphazardly, but was as carefully constructed as his album. The material performed reflected his desire to be accepted as a solo performer. Most of it was taken from the new album, with a few songs by other artists, such as "All Day Arid All Of the Night" added for variety. Everything from the album was generally to quite close the recorded versions. Of course, the studio and the concert stage are two different entities, so some, but not a great deal of the studio effect was lost. However, the forcefulness of Gabriel's delivery more than compensated for any of these deficiencies. delivery This also was influenced by Gabriel's to be recognized as a solo artist: with Genesis, he could hide behind masks and costumes, but here he was on his own. Surprisingly, he was not as wild as one would expect, simply standing in the middle of the stage or sitting at the piano. Only rarely would he leap over the piano or stalk the stage — just when those actions seemed appropriate to the song. At times, his antics were reminiscent of Mick dagger, but they were more reserved, less obnoxious. Talent in the band consisted Garbriel's set essentially of two parts. The more complex, less energetic songs, such the as "Moribund Burgermeister" and "Solsbury Hill," dominated the earlier part of the concert, which succeeded, albeit barely, in capturing and holding the attention of the audience. It was this part where the abilities of Gabriel's backup most clearly band were demonstrated. With the exception of one keyboard player, all of the band's members had playfed on his album. Allan Schwartzberg and Jim Haelen, on drums and percussion, respectively, were notably good; usually kept a Schwartzberg steady, pronounced beat, while Maelen create interesting rhythms and accents within a maze of varied > percussion instruments. The center of the stage was dominated by the lanky, sedate bassist, Tony Levin, who also extended his talents to the “Chapman stick” bass and tuba on a few songs. These three musicians, adept as they were, nevertheless were overshadowed by the abilities of two other members of the band. Most important and noticeable of these was Steve Hunter, the lead or “full frontal" guitarist. During the first part of the concert, his well-executed solos were often the main factor that kept the songs interesting. Controlled, but not reserved in both his playing and antics, he did not upstage Gabriel in any way. However, next to Gabriel, he was important , force the most emphasizing that this was not another Genesis concert. Hunter is also a performer in his own right. (His debut album should be out after this week, if it hasn't been released already.) In a brief interview after the show, he •continued on page — - —Fliss Prodigal Sun Friday, 25 March 1977 . The Spectrum . Page seventeen �Prophetic "Wizards' has no future shock by Mitchel Zoler Spectrum Arts Staff Wizards is the creation of Ralph Bakshi, who was previously responsible for Fritz the Cat and Heavy Traffic. Like its predecessors. Wizards is animated but geared toward adult sensibilities. In contrast to the former efforts, which dealt with contemporary street life, Wizards concerns itself with life on Earth about ten million years from now. This future Earth is inhabited by elves, ogres, fairies, and, of course, wizards, all produced by the genetic alterations of nuclear waste. The story focuses on the culmination of an ongoing battle between two brother warlocks. Black Wolf and Avatar. (I leave it to you to guess which is the nasty.) This typifies the primary difficulty bad guy roles are perfectly of the entire film: the good guy and follow down the same path as if defined, wreathed in stereotype they were in a Disney cartoon. Not only is the plot as stale as a loaf shipped from Middle Earth, it is executed with all the finesse of a charging unicorn. The infusion of swastikas into the nasties' costuming and the degeneration of goody morale by the use of Nazi propoganda films is among the lead weights which drag this film down to the depths. It isn't a total disaster. The characters exhibit some originality in form, while the color coordination is first rate. When things are moving, the simple kaleidoscope of animation is sufficient to hold one's interest; unfortuneatly, even this happens sporadically. Too often the action falls victim to the trap of modern animation, expense. Corners are cut by narrating over unmoving scenes, or simulating liveliness by slight mouth and head movements. What ruined Saturday morning T.V. also does a hatchet job on Wizards. The dialogue can be catchy, particularly Avatar's crotchetiness and the blackout routines from the gas-masked soldiers. The dialogue also gets too cutesy at times, the kjnd where it might be funny if it wasn't trying to be serious. One final point I must comment upon is the battle between Technology and Magic which this movie is supposed to be about. It really isn't, this being the one aspect of Wizards where the sides are not cut and dry. Nevertheless, this doctrine is presented, with Technology embodying all badness (as in tanks, bombs, rapid-fire guns) and Magic all goodness. I'm as much for good, butterfly encrusted, flower coated, fairy flying Magic as the next person, but I get annoyed when such a one-sided view of technology is presented. I could have accepted it without a word if it had meant something to this film, made ineffective. As it is, it's just one more hackneyed idea thrown on the heap. - Peter Gabriel... —continued from page 17— short song where he provided a high pitched electronic/vocal accompaniment to Gabriel's voice. talked primarily about this album. It is the work of a guitarist, but unlike the efforts of his contemporaries, it does not rely on any single style. Hunter felt this was important, as he did not want to be stereotyped early in his career. (He mentioned the problems that other guitarists, Clapton in particular, had in freeing themselves from their stereotypes.) His greatest ambition, at present, is to compose for and play in front of an orchestra sort of a guitar symphony or concerto. This is not as outrageous an idea as it seems, he said, because the guitar has enough versatility not to be dominated by an orchestra. Hunter indicated that this project would take some time, but if his playing on it is as good as it was during the concert, it should be worth the time spent waiting. The second important musician was Larry Fast, who is probably best known for his work on the two Synergy albums. In the concert. Fast was not a musician in the same way as the other member of the band; surrounded by his synthesizers, he did not really play music, but his programmed it. His work was felt more than noticed, providing a background that held the songs together. There were only a few instanced where his playing was readily apparent, such as on "Solsbury Hill" and also on a The great deceiver For the record, it should be mentioned that the enigmatic Robert Fripp was there, although his presence was scarcely noticeable. He seemed to be quite content as sort of a background rhythm guitarist; very rarely were his characteristic drawn-out notes heard. Unlike everybody else in the band, he could no't be seen by the majority of the audience, for he was seated behind a curtain on the right side of the stage. The only time he emerged (without his trademark beard and spectacles, incidentally) happened when Gabriel introduced the band. Even after the introduction, the crowd was still not convinced, particularly since Fripp had been introduced using a pseudonym ("Rusty Toes"); shouts of "Where's Fripp?" could still be heard well into the song that followed. The most entertaining points, far as the audience was concerned, came when the band played "Waiting for the Big One." During this long, blues-styled number, Gabriel ran up to the balcony to sing a verse. Then he came down, leaped off of the stage and walked up and down the center aisle, shaking hands with as many members of the audience as he Page eighteen Friday, 25 March 1977 — .

It began quite abruptly with a segue from "Slowburn" into "All Day and All of the Night," which was done with more energy and less control than the original Kink's classic. This was followed by "Here Comes the Flood" (which, in its own way, was much better than the album version) and "Modern Love." the last song of the set, "Down was the only Genesis material the Dolce Vita," was the high performed that night, and the point of the concert. Larry Fast audience loved it. Although was supposed to re-create the purists might have been London Symphony Orchestra for disappointed in the sould quality, this song; he didn't, but the effect whatever it lost in finesse was was not missed. "Dolce Vita" was equalled by its energy and highlighted by a drum-percussion expression. It was a fitting ending solo toward the end a solo to a very good concert. which was fascinating unlike Although there were a few similar efforts by other bands. At the close of that song, complaints about its brevity, Gabriel left the stage, but it was almost everyone in the crowd obvious that the audience was not seemed well satisfied with the satisfied. After much foot concert. The few who were stamping and match lighting, disappointed were probably Gabriel reappeared, appropriately expectin-g masks, costumes, dressed in jeans, t-shirt, and theatrics in short, another leather jacket, to do a version of Genesis concert.

The SoHo district. The magnetic wasteland in which the newest and most important pop forms of this decade perform. It is the domicile of such clubs as On The Rocks, Max's Kansas City, and C.B.G.B.'s, and it was one of those same bars/clubs C.B.GT.B.'s if ya wanna git particular about it to which Peter Gabriel hopped. Whom did he see? Why, Television of course! The heroes of this journalistic escapade. Apparently, (as the story is told by Tom Verlaine) Gabriel enjoyed what he saw, which (in my opinion) was most likely an excellent execution of rock and roll, and decided that that was what he needed (also in my opinion) to bolster his own primarily sluggish show. Dispensing with the question of "what was that lamb, Gabriel doing in the big, bad Bowerey in the first place?" this expose indicates how Television came to, open the Gabriel smorgasbord last week. So, welcome Television's debut entrance, as they are the first of the new wave of bands, eminating seemingly from out of nowhere, all across the continental plain, to hit Buffalo. Television are transparent, peculiar, and worthy of everyone's attention (!) and yet L it is ironic that they only met with polite bewilderment and thwarted reactions during their brief (45 minute! but superb stand at the Century Theatre. — Restless ruminants Things started out fine with the Stonesy "See No Evil" a cut from their first Elektra album and actual proof of the group's combined talents: stupendous Tom Verlaine lyrics, hooking lead guitar by Richard Lloyd, and heavy duty rhythms accented by Bill Ficca's drum strafes and Fred Smith's persistant Fender bass. Fine, no problems here, but there is still the bustle of too many people that haven't yet been seated. It proves, after all, that neither of the two major Buffalo radio stations support a playlist laced with a healthy stash of Television, and that for that reason a vast majority of the paying audience probably had no idea as to who was even on stage, much less as to what melodious consecration was being performed. And its no effing doubt and definitely a shame that the aesthetic prominence of the band's second tune went unnoticed, except by the pockets of T.V. fans. So, pay a ten shun. Let's not have this happen again! Tom Verlaine (ne: Miller), like Keith Richards Prodigal Sun Don't miss this spectacular performance!! * plays a clear bodied Dan Armstrong guitar, but, unlike the Stone, he is also a respected poet in academic spheres. In the song "Venus," he construes a symbolist's dream landscape with the tit for tat, "Didja feel low? No. Not at all. Huh?" and then - induces the surreal "I fell into the arms of Venus De Milo.

But perhaps Verlaine's propensity for the poetic is best evident with the superflous "Prove It," with its already legendary chorus, "prove it . . . just the facts . . . the confidential" and its classy ending this case is closed." interesting, melodramatic with its’ lyrics. black It — Verlaine's oral prowess could very well be Television's greatest asset. Certainly when the group receives its overly due platter time from the tremendously biased joks, Television's future Buffalo audiences will take note of this factor. LONG LIVE FREE RADIO. This time around, the group no doubt suffered the "special guest" blues. Yet, in another light, this present frustration may prove invaluable if Television is to gain any formidable national audience. Credit Gabriel for bringing T.V. out of New York City. Disproving the hype Already the group has had to deal with the awful "punk rock" handle. This is a misconception If anything, Television is a post-psychedelic band minus the chemical aftereffects, and their instrumental wares prove this. The final piece, a lengthy excursion entitled "Marquee Moon developes a kinetic theme and modifies it into an incredible journey. Most bands hit a song fast, then stretch out for a while, then end up with a bang Television go into it slowly, tentatively, and build up an atmosphere until it is a congruous ONE. And then then take off, exploring the figures over and over again, using Ficca's and Smith's super rhythm section as a focal point. If you're outside of it, it can be boring. But when they get you, it can be extremely hypnotic I was inside. So were others who had previously heard the Marquee Moon LP. Televison were so good, I forgot they weren't headliners.

The event was part of the College’s ambitious One-to-One program, through which community children and University students’partlcipate in a variety of activities. Program Coordinator Cathy Yalowich believes the purpose of the program is “one of enabling the students to “experience” the retarded, and likewise the children “experiencing” the students. Clifford Furnas College, located in the Fargo Quad of the Ellicott Complex, has held similar programs for three years, and according to one College student “is getting better every year.” Over the past three years, the programs included trips to the zoo, a Valentines Day Party, Halloween party and a carnival. All of the children come from various Buffalo Agencies for the mentally retarded. There are extensive programs,for these children that are funded by Erie County, including bowling parties and other special events, coordinated on a weekly basis. These agencies have assisted the College in supplying names of children, and particular help in establishing the program and in getting community recognition for it. The Special Olympics program included 25 children and 60 students, all participating in the 10 Olympic-style events, which were staged and judged by the students themselves. The program’s highlight was the fifty yard obstacle course, taking the children through everything from walking over benches to doing somersaults on mattresses. The students and children cheered each other as they each made their way through the maze of obstacles. Most of the students working with the children have had previous experience working with retarded children. Likewise, many of the same children participate in other College activities, and in some cases'bring friends. Yalowich believes that “the program is necessary to involve the retarded in community activities allowing them to function in an informal social gathering.” In speaking with some of the parents on the success of the program, there was only praise for all efforts concerned. Clifford Furnas College hopes to involve all other colleges on the Amherst Campus in planning a bigger Special Olympic Program, to be held next December. Funding for the program is minimal, but with the recognition the program is now getting, it is likely that next year the program will be bigger. The afternoon culminated with an award ceremony, giving first, second and third place medals to the respective recipients. Afterwards all enjoyed a special "OLYMPIC CAKL” procurred by Steven Jayson. The One-to-One program exemplifies “togetherness” between students and children. Observing the children as they left the Bubble at the programs end. it was obvious that it is not the students who make the program a success, but the kids themselves. SHARE THE RIDE WITH US THIS (CPS) While many people are aware of the anti-ERA movement spearheaded by the Catholic Church and Phyllis Schafly of the national organization Stop ERA, few are alert to the interest business, particularly insurance companies have shown through their funding the opposition. Wiped,out in Nevada and North Carolina only recently and dragged down by such continued resistance, the Equal Rights Amendment just may not get to go the distance. Titne is running out on the March 22, 1979 deadline when 38 states will have had to' approve the 27th amendment to the U.S. Constitution. But to date, only 35 states have said yes. Elinor Langer, in a well-documented article in Ms. magazine points out that the corporate powers-that-be are worried that strict enforcement of the ERA could raise payroll costs. Langer obtained figures which are not available from any government or industry source: “If in 1970 women who worked had earned the same amount per hour as men who worked, it would have cost employers an additional $96 billion in payroll alone. That figure assumes that women and men are working at comparable jobs and receiving equal pay, but it does not include equalizing their hours. “If women had earned the same as men and worked the same number of hours, the addition to ■the payroll would have been $303 billion.” Clearly, says Langer, “the Equal Rights Amendment and the traditional role of women in the capitalist economy are incompatible.” Equal protection The ERA had been doing fairly well in the early 70’s. By January 1973, the amendment had been dramatically ratified by 22 states in one year alone and had the endorsement of such unions as the United Auto Workers and AFL-CIO. But suddenly on November 4. I 975, voters in New York and New Jersey turned down the ERA and winning was no longer something taken for granted. What did the amendment’s opponents fear? Former Senator Sam Ervin worried that the passage of the ERA would result in a large transfer of powers from state legislatures to Congress while others insisted that many other laws already adequately protected women and cited the Civil Rights Act. the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment, and the 5th Amendment’s due process clause. These arguments were not strong enough, however, to, deter the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision inthe General Electric v. Gilbert case. The Court ruled that a business does not have to provide pregnancy benefits for female employees in existing disability plans, nor does it have to provide benefits for non-pregnancy related disabilities incurred while a woman is on unpaid pregnancy leave. Insurance companies are also in the front lines of the opposition to the ERA. In life insurance, women traditionally pay less than men since data indicate they are less of a risk. In both medical and disability insurance, pregnancy and gynecological problems may be excluded while specifically male disorders, such-as vasectomies, are provided for. And because of the assumption that women are only supplementing the family income and less likely to linger at home when possible, disability policies are sometimes difficult to obtain and may be inferior to those in offered men similar occupations. Furthermore, the insurance industry can better afford to hold the line against a constitutional amendment because it is one of the few major industries that is still regulated by state governments and not by Washington. With business as a major ERA eqemy, the amendment’s passage is hindered even beyond those who have taken to the streets in the name of such organizations as HOT DOG (Humanitarians Opposed to Degrading Our Girls), HOME (Happiness for Women Eternal), FOE (Females Opposed to Equality) and Ha! (Home Administrators). There are others but you get the point. The National Organization of Women (NOW) is encouraging the boycott of Nevada and its products, since Nevada is one v of the most recent states to defeat the ERA. “If we’re not equal before the law in Nevada, we’d just as soon not be there,” says Linda Rasmussen, a NOW representative in CA. Sacramento, The National Education Association also has a policy of not holding conventions in states that haven’t ratified the ERA. What will happen after March 1979? Langer says that part pf the answer lies in practical political organization. Coordination of pro-ERA materials is essential for its passage. “Before it became a fight, passage of the Kqual Rights Amendment would have been merely a gift. If it will be a mature victory,” it is achieved now ... says Langer. \ _ Big business willing, though, l-RA may never make it past the preliminaries. SPRING BREAK AND GET ON TO A GOOD THING.

If your spring travel plans include a ride on the railroad, Choo-choo Charlie will be more than your friendly engineer. Amtrak narcs have been given the Drug Enforcement Agency’s undisclosed “Drug Courier Profile” and are working with Blitz, a pot-sniffing German Shepherd. Over the past six months. Blitz has sniffed over 2,000 pounds of grass and helped make 50 arrests. Most of those .arrested, says High Times magazine, were traveling from Miami to Philadelphia, New York or Boston. Savannah is the first stop outside Miami with a pot-sniffing pooch. Los Angeles underground editor teaches at California State Art Kunkin, former owner and editor of the nation’s (CPS) prominent underground newspapers of the late 60’s and early 70’s, including the Los Angeles Free Press has surfaced to teach journalism part time at the San Fernando Valley campus of California State — , University. Kunkin also works for Earth Radio News as a freelance reviewer, is book on Kundalini yoga and beginning another on “Freep.” as the underground paper was known to its readers. The former tool maker and Socialist Party member first gained notoriety , in 1969 when the Free Press published a list of 80 state undercover narcotics agents, including their names, home addresses and telephone numbers. As a result, he was convicted of receiving stolen property, a verdict later overturned by the California Supreme Court. In 1971, after being forced to sell the paper which had a circulation of 90.000 because the paper suffered debts, Kunkin went writing a into personal bankruptcy. Still at it, Kunkin. now 48, said he has not abandoned alternative journalism. He recently met with former Yippie leader, Jerry Rubin, and former underground editor Paul Krassner, in an abortive effort to start another Los Angeles underground paper. How does he like teaching? “1 like [itI very much . . . although there is nothing quite like a publication. Students are always amazed when they find ray name in the journalism texts,” Kunkin said. Queens College investigating Iranian program (CPS) . It has been documented recently that the Shah of Iran gave the City University of New York $100,000 to set up programs which would facilitate graduate programs for Iranian students. But now, Queens College, part of the City system, is investigating the activities of the Iranian-funded program following charges that it is being used to gather information for SAVAK, the Iranian secret police. Nathaniel H, Siegel, acting president of the college, said the program provided courses in language skills and computer science for Iranian students. He added that the program also collected a “talent list;’' of Iranian graduate students,-for recruittpent for teaching in Iran. Critics charged that the list would be used by SAVAK to identify dissident Iranian students. Siegel has suspended the list-making activities, pending an — investigation. Rapid river shooters may be up a creek, even with a paddle (CPS) Those participants of the sport of descending the churning, white water of many of the country’s rivers had best begin to look for another way to get their thrills. The U.S. Customs Service has thrown a bucket of nails into the inflatable raft rental business. The Service has ruled that foreign-made crafts, roughly 60 percent ol the total in U.S. commercial use today, are in violation of the Jones Act, which prohibits foreign vessels from trafficking between U.S. ports. Most of the rafts come from Britain and France. Although the raft operators may ignore the Customs ruling, figuring that it is unlikely that an inspector will trek out into the wilds, the Coast Guard, if they decide to enforce the law to its letter, may prepare a series of regulations on raft safety that would require an inspection. And, according to the Guards’ Inspection Office, they “couldn’t certify a raft that was foreign made.” The rafts, which fit neatly into the definition of coastwise trade (they can carry up to twelve passengers and cargo between the two U.S. destinations, and successfully navigate the treacherous rapids), may be saved a beaching if a bill is passed by Congress exempting the a zens and $2.50 for the General rafts from the Jones Act. However, looking back on Congress’ track record for swift action, raft operators and participants had better start to seek alternative means of thrill-seeking. - Students at ease about ROTC (CPS) this year - More college students are marching toward their degree Army News reports that the college ROTC program has registered a gain in enrollment for a third consecutive year.

However, Jones’ career at Buffalo was not quite good enough to attract the attention of the pros. Seats! As a 6-6 freshman, Jones was Buffalo’s starting center. That year, he played more than any other year, averaging 9.2 points and 9.3 rebounds, which is very good for a freshman. He was a starter at forward his sophomore year, but was in and out of the line-up due to inconsistency. Against Rochester, his sophomore year, Mike had a career high of 30 points, but against Niagara that year, he shot a dismal l-for-16. “My second year was one of my worst years I felt I wasn’t doing anything in school, and it affected my playing,” Jones noted. — “Against Niagara, 1 wanted to do so well that I wasn’t relaxed,” he said. “I wanted to go out and score 30 points every game.” After his sophomore year, however, Jones married a girl he knew in high school. His new wife, Crystal, made a big difference to him. “She got my head together,” said Jones. “Before, I was going to drop out of school. She made me believe I could graduate. Marrying her was the turning point in my life for the better.” — Jones improved after that, his basketball statistics continued to worsen. His inconsistency also plagued him, and he found himself a rarely used substitute. “Had he played consistently,” said Buffalo coach Leo Richardson, “he would have been in a position to be drafted., The problem was his ability to make he wasn’t able to up his mind do that. He knew .he could play.” Mike improved his senior year. He still was inconsistent, but he was also brilliant at times; he was instrumental in beating Canisius, and played extremely well at Cleveland State. He finished his career with 491 points and 582 rebounds, for an average of 5.8 and 6.8 respectively.- His rebound total puts him fourth on the all-time Buffalo rebounding list. Although academically - —Koenig he was Looking could disappointed that, Buffalo only muster 28 wins in his four years here. “I think all the years I was here we had a chance to have a winning team,” Jones said. “But we lost a lot of games in overtime. back, UUAB presents BUFFALO'S THIRD ANNUAL 17th April! 5- FOLK FESTIVAL Tickets $4.00 each night $7.00 both nights students $5.00 each night $9.00 both nights public - - FRIDAY April 15th with M.C MICHAEL COONEY at 8:00 pm in Clark Gym TOM PAXTON Sunrise Highway Raun McKinnon - SUNDAY SATURDAY April 16th 8:00 pm in theFillmore Room BOYS OF THE LOUGH MICHAEL COONEY April 17th 5:00 pm in 1:00 the Fillmore Room — Square Dance WORKSHOP Margaret McArthur Pricilla Herdman Lisa Null & Bill Schutt John McCutcheon Buffalo Gals Robert Jr. Lockwood Janette Carter Charlie McGuire WITH The Rye Whiskey Fiddlers FREE DONT MISS THIS SPECTACULAR FESTIVAL!!!

A JV game in high school had more people than we have here. That has a great affect on the players. “1 played before 8,000 people in high school. That’s a real boost to the players. I believe if the school was behind the team, we’d have a better record. The fans should get behind the team all the time, even if they’re losing.” Not only is the attitude bad here, Jones said, but the facilities are horrible. Jones used as an example LeMoyne College in Syracuse, as the type of facility Buffalo should have. LeMoyne has only 1,800 students, but three ful gyms. Mike and Crystal will probabh move back to Akron after school is over. Mike hopes to get a job in his field of Urban Planning, while Crystal hopes to become a high school teacher. Basketball is still in Mike’s plans however. He wants to continue to play, hopefully to improve himself in a local basketball league. He’d like eventually to become a semi-pro player, and if he gets good enough, a pro player. Mike’s confidence hasn’t dimmed, 1 know I’m good however he lough,’’ proclaimed. Friday, 25 March 1977 .

Number one priority Lippes and Director of Group Legal Services David Brownstein do not expect to have to go to court. They are seeking clarification from the SUNY the Board of Trustees on “Student Services” amendment. Such clarification should confirm the program’s legality and enable GLS to provide the services that they feel students clearly need. The program would be available to all undergraduates and learning a great deal.” Lorenzetti conceded that the consulting functions of Group students are Legal Services are educational in nature. He will not make a similar legal concession for representation. The “over-all” justification of the program was explained to Lippes and Brownstein. In order for students to pursue their educational careers, their general welfare must be taken into account. “Legal hassles can hinder an education just as much as medical problems,” said Lippes. Lorenzetti expressed doubts about the feasibility of the he claimed such doubts had nothing to do with his decision. The program, he program, reasoned, would be swamped with was aimed at the middle-income cases. students who can neither qualify for a public defender, nor readily afford private attorney’s fees. A survey conducted by SA several years ago revealed that students considered legal aid the number one priority among potential services. Currently, GLS can do no more than advise while the issue is pending. Brownstein pointed to many other services on campus that exist hassle-free. The pharmacy, birth control clinic, record co-op, and campus movies were all mentioned as examples of mandatory fee supported programs that stretch the guidelines to a degree, yet are allowed to function. When confronted with these apparent contradictions Lorenzetti explained how each of the above programs conforms. “The main function of the pharmacy is not to provide students with cheap perscriptions, but to educate pharmacy students working there,” he said. The birth tired “We are swamped with cases,” said Lippes, “but we can handle it. We’ve commited ourselves.” The number of people who come to Group Legal Services seeking assistance is testament" to the demand for such a program on this campus, he felt. False fears Lorenzetti cited the need to adhere to the fee guidelines, lest they be tightened by SUNY. “I’m not on a witch-hunt,” he said. “I’m trying to be as reasonable as I can. If the guidelines are abused, then they are going to be toughened, and no one wants out momentum. and lost their *■ The long season has come to an end for Lippes Loop, but the Boss Players will now represent this University in a tournament with the winners of the intramural programs at Canisius, Niagara and Buffalo State.

Additionally, NYPIRG wants to make this a long-term organizing program, and keep in contact with the various communities in order to facilitate mobilization against any future problems such as rate hikes. by Eric Nussbaum community at large, but Composition Editor The New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) has launched a community organizing effort calling for a Public Service Commission (PSC) hearing to investigate windfall profits made by National Fuel Gas (NFG) during the recent winter blizzard. In addition, NYPIRG is requesting cash rebates for NFG’s residential customers based on these profits. During the winter quarter of 1976, NFG reported an earnings increase oif 77 percent over the same period in 1975. NYPIRG is working in conjunction with community, senior citizen, and taxpayer groups, and block clubs. Locally, the People’s Power Coalition, Women United for Action, and College F have joined in similar efforts. NYPIRG representatives are contacting political and community leaders and speaking to neighborhood organizations in order to elicit support. In a letter sent to L.R. Reif, president of NFG, NYPIRG requested a ten dollar rebate, claiming it was justifiable based on the record profits announced at this year’s stockholders’ meeting. Reif s office merely acknowledged receipt of the letter, making no response to the request. NYPIRG then initiated its campaign by circulating petitions, sample resolutions, leaflets and sample letters of protest, all endorsing a PSC hearing. ‘Near and dear’ The Public Service Commission is a state-wide organization which regulates investor-owned utilities. According to New York State law, utility consumers have the right to petition for lower rates. Spokesperson Paul Levitt views Feasible Since February 16, employees of NFG, the International represented by Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, h;lve been on strike. Although NFG is no longer paying wages, salary costs are still reflected in consumers’ bills. According to NYPIRG, NFG is collecting an additional $500,000 per week in excess revenue during the strike. NYPIRG believes that this additional income, plus the storm profits, make a ten dollar rebate feasible. NYPIRG points out that Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation and Brooklyn Union Gas Corporation have both returned cash rebates to their customers from profits made during this past winter. The PSC hearing requested by NYPIRG is a call to NFG to justify their denial of the rebate. , NYPIRG’s efforts as a “consciousness raising” regarding public knowledge of the workings of a corporation. “A ten dollar rebate,” he said, “will also show people that they can do something.” Although only 25 signatures are needed to file for a hearing with PSC, NYPIRG hopes to collect thousands of names in order to speed the process. Levitt feels that this is an issue “near and dear” to people Needed for Amherst construction SA, faculty may boycott banks refusing HFA bonds who pay bills, adding, “People sacrificed a lot during the storm, including Spokesperson Paul Levitt views NYPIRG’s efforts as “consciousness turning down the heat. Now it’s time for the gas companies to start sacrificing.” “A hearing will involve a lot of publicity which will work in our favor. NFG can always put out advertising, but to get the full picture, this is the way to do it.” The Student Association is threatening to sever ties with all local banks that refuse to purchase $3 million of bonds necessary to resume construction at the Amherst Campus. At tomorrow’s SA Senate meeting action to be taken against the local banks who have informally refused to purchase the state notes will be discussed. SA President Pennis Delia said there is a possibility that SA will withdraw its banking business from the uncooperative financial institutions, and encourage students to remove their personal accounts if these banks do not support SUNY construction. Delia plans to send personal correspondence to the heads of local banks explaining SA sentiments toward the construction issue and warning them of the possible consequences to be faced if they do not cooperate in this situation. Faculty movement There is also a grass roots movement developing within the faculty at this University to boycott these banks. Plans were circulating earlier this week to have the faculty members remove their personal accounts and restrict their future dealings with the non-supportive institutions. This University has the largest payroll in Aside from this denial, NYPIRG is also protesting the general rise in gas bills, which they claim have averaged a 40 percent increase since 1971. Thus far, NYPIRG has been endorsed by Councilmen George Arthur and Bill Price, State legislator Richard Slisz and Buffalo mayoral candidate James Griffin. They are also seeking help from interested members of the Buffalo and University communities. Western New York, which generates much banking business, warned a faculty member, assessing the possible damage to the business of those local banks. University President Robert Ketter is scheduled to meet today with representatives of the local banking community, in an effort to urge them to purchase $3 million of short term securities necessary to resume construction on the Amherst Campus. Officials from the Division of the Budget (DOB) will also join Ketter to lobby for financial support. DOB has pledged the release of $13 million in funds earmarked for Amherst construction, pending the $3 million purchase of bonds by local banks and business. Administrators at this University are hoping that Buffalo commerical banks will assume the responsibility of bond purchase, an act meant to restore confidence in the State Housing Finance Agency (HFA) and stimulate further bond sales among potential investors. The shaky status of HFA has left local investors fearful of additional commitment. The Buffalo Evening News reported last week that the local bankers do not plan participation in the investment program geared to stimulate further construction on the new campus. �f— ——- Foreign Students in the U,S. at Davis said that the major My Lai remembered (CPS) Nine years ago, the objective of students, good grades, world picked up the morning “is to their (the students) papers on March 12 and read detriment.

SJ �Speakers urge independencefor Puerto Rico The attractiveness of huge profit margins is well advertised, pointing said out Lopez, by Brett Kline Feature Editor Alfredo Lopez of the Puerto Rican Socialist Party and Julie Nichamin from the Puerto Rican Solidarity Committee voiced strong support for an independent Puerto Rico Friday night in Squire Hall. The two speakers appeared as Part of a “Weekend in Solidarity with Puerto Rico” program sponsored by the Third World Student Association, PODER, Solidarity Rican Puerto Committee, Puerto Rican Chicano Learning Center and Adelante American Airlines brochures corporations to which urge relocate in Puerto Rico. While the wages are so low, he continued, 40 percent of the people are unemployed and the cost of goods is higher than in New York City. In addition, 87 percent of the island’s population Lopez began by asserting, “Everyone knows Puerto Rico is an American colony. There is no longer a debate about it. Even the it.” Continuing on this premis, he presented- the audience of about 60 with a staggering list of economic figures backing his contention that if Puerto Rico were to become a state, it would serve to enchance the federal government’s position. The issue system, monetary the and trade relations. system American industries located on the island are tax exempt and pay their workers 30 to 40 percent less than on the American mainland. stressed that Lopez independence and socialism are interrelated, and if Puerto Rico were to rid itself of its U.S. commonwealth status, all industry would have to be nationalized by underground Puerto Rican demanding independence for Puerto Rico, allegedly responsible for over 50 bombings in New York City. the new government. This action would be imperative to the survival of the Puerto Rican people a nation, while as “statehood would be the ultimate step in the liquidation of the possibility of Puerto Rico as a nation.” The maintainance of American control over Puerto Rico is imperative to federal and corporate interests because of the island’s strategic location, It is near the American mainland, just east of Cuba and relatively close to the Panama Canal. U.S. military bases, some of them equipped with nuclear arsenals, currently occupy more than 10 percent of the island’s “best farmable land.” As a result of this and “the contamination of other arable land by petroleum waste, there is no agriculture in Puerto Rico. Therefore, Puerto Rico consumes what it does not produce and Governor admits postal Industry nationalized Carter said that the Puerto Rican people should maintain their right to speak their native language, Spanish, a statement she termed the “height of arrogance. Who the hell is he to tell those people they can speak their own language,” she said.

They were called to testify about the activities of the Frente Armada industry.” Latinos. versus of statehood commonwealth versus independence is of late very controversial in Puerto Rico, where Lopez described politics as being “straight and traditional.” He stated that “U.S. capitalists” control 94 percent of Puerto Rico’s economy, including 90 percent of all industry, the at the bottom of a ski run in Vail, Colorado, were not' spontaneous, according to Lopez, but was a calculated decision made at the time of the Republican National Convention last August.* He contended that with the discovery of possible large oil deposits off the coast of Puerto Rico, Ford insuring was merely “easier exploitation by U.S. petroleum which already companies, comprises one third of the island’s Alfredo Lopez maintains its existence on Food Stamps.

As a socialist country, it could possibly seek strong economic ties with Communist countries, which would establish another strong Communist foothold in the Caribbean. This would be directly contrary to any U.S. interests there. Julie Nichamin, spokeswoman for the Puerto Rican Solidarity Committee, opened her short speech by criticizing President Jimmy Carter’s recent remarks to the Governor of Puerto Rico. by Beth Simon Staff Writer “I think it’s a rotten bummer!” the man shouted into the telephone. It was John McGan, program director for WGRQ, expressing his personal feelings about the possibility of WBUF-FM’s changing ownership. “Whenever you lose an album oriented station, it’s a drag BUF plays a very important role and does it very well,” he said. This was just one of a series of responses from the program directors qf several Buffalo radio stations, commenting about the possible sale of BUF to Robert Liggett, presently owner of five radio stations called “TriMedia.” The sale would entail a change in format from “progressive rock” to “contemporary pop” with an increase in commercial time from eight to 18 minutes per hour. The assumption has been made that adding another AM format station to an already flooded market would affect other radio stations. — owners desirable Frank Lorenz, president and general manager of WBLK forsees no real danger to the size of his listening audience. “The change should have no real effect as we deal primarily with a black audience,” he explained. We also have an entirely different format.” Local management is highly desirable, according to all the program directors questioned, because in that way a station is more aware of the community it serves and therefore can serve it better. Lorenz asserted that he was also in favor of local management but said that in the eve«t the sale of BUF is approved by the FCC, the same effects could be achieved by retaining Buffalo personnel. Such is not the custom, though, when a radio station changes hands. Time will tell Dave Hammon, program director for WBEN, was less knowledgeable about the impending sale. “I just read about it in today’s paper,” he said. BEN tries to capture an over-25 crowd by playing "adult, middle-of-the-road” music. Hammond felt his station’s programming was sufficiently different from a “top-forfy” format so as to be out of the range of competition. His major two women were subpoenaed the World Episcopal becapse Church supported a United Nations resolution condemning colonialism, and not because they were involved with FALN. They refused to testify and spent some time in a New York City jail before being released and ordered to reappear before the Grand Jury. During a question and answer period, Lopez was asked about the role of “armed struggle” in the fight for independence. He replied’ that it was a “provocative question, placing me in a delicate situation, because (the we Socialists) are a political party.” r''bob's don's'mo'b'il' I 632-9533 & Amherst Campus Road Service Towing Everything Automotive When in Doubt Call we offer STUDENT DISCOUNT FOR REPAIR WORK Use your Mobil Credit Card, Bank Americard or Master Charge.

Welch Special to The Spectrum reservation, ‘"mental health problems have increased.” The report said the suicide rate among Indians is 1.8 times as high as that of all races and the homicide rate is three times greater. ' A recent federal study (CPS) on envirpnmental conditions that affect the health of Native Americans on the large Navajo — Reservation of Arizona, Utah and New Mexico, shows that most of the Indians’ health problems are still attributable to the encroachment of modern American society. The Navajo, “the largest and wealthiest Indian tribe in the United States,” the report said, suffer from inadequate housing, poor sanitation facilities, scanty supplies of good water, injury from highway accidents, disease transmiteted by garbage-feeding rodents and other animals, and “unsafe and unhealthful at Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) operated schools. “As the Indian people have been caught more and more in the conflict between their traditional culture and the demands of modern American society,” the Cultural differences To combat these problems and Indian Health others, the Committee (IRC) of the National Environmental Health Association, which conducted the believes the federal study, environmental health staff on the reservation “should be almost doubled.” The new personnel should be trained Navajos, the IHC said, in order to bridge cultural differences which have hindered the “acceptance of modern health practices.” The investigators made several specific suggestions for correcting some of the Navajos’ poor conditions. Although “most of the valued Navajo silver work is hammered,” 50 Indians work at a silversmithing plant in Arizona about where the work is done with blow torches. For these people, the investigators said better eye protection was needed. Also suggested was the use of face masks and other protective clothing by persons applying pesticides. And the fencing and posting of all radioactive tailings from uranium mines in the area, and decontamination Although the Navajo have taken an active interest in their own health since the establishment of the Health, Alcoholism and Welfare Committee by the tribal council in 1937, deaths from alcoholism are still 6.2 times higher than the general population, the report said.

The report said some 3,500 environmental health deficiencies exist within the BIA school system on the Navajo Reservation. The investigators blamed this situation on., the “accumulative effect of many years of inadequate funding” by the BIA. According to the study, the Navajo area has received “only 66 percent of what it should have” in maintenance funds. “The hazards of crowded living conditions and the lack of safe water and adequate disposal facilities have been and still are contributing factors to the high incidence of environmentally related disease,” such as bubonic and pnuemonic plagues, the report said. The federal response to this is' the building of more, extremely non-traditional, mass housing units. The federal study, which was conducted in May 1976 but this month, openly released admits the inadequacies of the BIA and other agencies now and in the past in their treatment of the Navajo and strives to find effective solutions to , the continuing problems that have arisen with the coming of American social pressures on the Indians.

Maintaining a healthy diet does not entail staying away from or eating only certain foods. Most important is understanding why products differ in nutritive and economic value, and how to sift through beefed up advertising claims to find the best buys. More than 200 types of food have been thoroughly evaluated in terms value, of nutritive chemical effects, processing additives and environmental contaminants in The Complete Food Handbook, by James Redding and Rodger Doyle on Grove Press. Redding, a former instructor in Rachel Carson Cellage and head resident of Fargo Quad in Ellicott, and Doyle, one a marketing executive in the food industry who also taught at Rachel Carson, have written about the American food scene from a skeptic’s point of view. Their book includes commentary and criticism of the food industry, thg and medical , authorities government agencies and also contains appendices with food charts and a glossary of terms. Problem is money “I think the problem with American food has to do with money.” says Redding. “Food companies are all tied up with profit and loss. But we’re not anti-establishment, we’re pro-consumer. We think people will understand more of the dynamics of food shopping by giving them a picture of the food industry. If the establishment were pro-consumer, we’d be pro-establishment.” The Handbook makes it clear that the food industry advertises to sell its products and not to educate people. Typical is the story of orange juice which is diluted to become orange drink. Normally only 10 percent real juice, and the rest water, the drink Would not sell without the addition of sugar, flavoring and orange coloring. In defending the use of such additives, the industry claims chemicals cut the cost of food because they are much less than natural expensive ingredients. Equivalency is the key concept, however. With drinks. the diluted, orange flavored and colored product no doubt will cost less than real orange juice perhaps half the price— but it contains only one-tenth the juice. Thus the chemicalized drink actually costs five times as much as real juice per ounce of natural ingredients. Harvested while unripe Included in the chapter on fruits and vegetables is the “fresh vs. frozen vs. canned” argument. Redding claims “frozen vegetables are often better than fresh,” because of the different processes involved in their production. He continues that freshly picked vegetables are nutritionally better than canned or frozen, but that the key phrase is “freshly picked.” For example, asparagus refrigerated for one week at 32 degrees may lose 50 percent of its vitamin C* if held at room temperature for only one day it may lose up to 40 percent. By comparison, blanching, the only heat treatment used in the processing of frozen asparagus, results in losses which average only five percent. Much of the produce sold as fresh is harvested while still unripe and then ripens during storage, a process which generally results in lower nutrient value than ripening oh the plant. While frozen produce goes through only one heat treatment, canned produce is subject to two high-temperature processing stages: heating, to create a and vacuum the can, in sterilization of the can. The latter step is especially destructive because temperatures are held at 250 degrees for up to 55 minutes. Too much meat In their discussion of meat, Doyle and Redding stress that COLD BEER Full Line of 3212 Main Street 836-0936 GrOwdries HOMEMADE SANDWICHES AND SALADS TO TAKE OU FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES MAIN—SPEAR DELI - eat far more than they need to satisfy their protein to requirements. According Harvard nutritionist, Jean Mayer, a 10 percent cut in meat eating by Americans would release enough grain normally eaten by cattle to feed 60 million people. The authors avoid in any terms, however, specific arguments concerning a meat or vegetarian diet. The quality of protein in a food is largely measured by the balance of its constituent amino acids, with eight essential acids necessary to maintain life. Meat, poultry and fish have amino acid patterns that are well balanced and are thus considered to have high protein quality. Plant foods, on the other hand, are generally low in at least one amino acid Conveniently listed are meat and poultry products as they are offered to the consumer; e.g. sauce, beans with beef with gravy ■ or chopped chicken or turkey with broth. Important distinctions, such as protein and fat content* and additive and preservative concentrations, are made between these kinds of packaged meat products and the regular meat cuts found at supermarket meat counters and butcher shops. These regular meat cuts are further delineated into a grade system to help consumers chose wisely. Federally designed, the grade system was created to measure flavor, juiciness and tenderness for oven cooking or pan frying. The first three grades, “prime, choice, and good” are generally acceptable for oven cooking or frying, while the next two, “standards and commerical,” usually must be prepared with moist heat (steaming or stewing.) The Complete Food Handbook is a good reference source for shoppers seeking a balanced diet. Many confused consumers will find it helpful to have so much food information gathered in one place. The Handbook is available at the University Bookstore. However, it has not yet appeared in Ulbrich’s, Buffalo’s largest bookstore.

In that time, the program has provided 1000 youths with desperately needed big brothers and sisters. BAF According to Assistant Director Kevin McQuillen, just having someone who cares can make the whole difference. “This is not a transportation or activities program,” McQuillen stressed. “The main aspect of this program is the friendship involved, someone to be there.” Many of the children helped by BAF come from broken homes, usually living with one parent or with foster parents. The children usually ranging in age from 6 to 16 are referred to the program by either parents, counselors or social workers who attempt to find a way for ' - « these youths to adjust to their homelives. The majority of the 200 children currently in the program are from a low socioeconomic class who are in dire need of companionship. . BAF Acting Director Bob Moss began the program six years ago to answer the large demand for big brothers and sisters. Originally, the program was funded by CAC and operated out of their offices in Squire Hall. Following BAF’s break from the University in 1974, the Buffalo Youth Board began funding the program. Currently the UB Foundation handles all monies donated to the program while their office space is donated by the University. There are over 30,000 male and female youths in need of this program, and McQuillen claimed “there is a great need for male volunteers.” BAF volunteers, primarily local college students, are carefully screened before being accepted in the program. The screening consists of 3 to 4 interviews which are geared to discerning the volunteers’ motives and COLLEGE STUDENTS PART TIME Earn $10.00 per hr S.A.

Volunteers, are also told to use “logical guidance” in the pursuit of helping the child cope with his or her environment and that they should not try to change it. Common interests of the' applicants and child are compared, hopefully leading to a compatible relationship. Volunteers must commit themselves for a minimum of one year of service to the program, to insure a lasting relationship. McQuillen stressed that a short relationship would cause more harm than good. He added that most relationships initiated through the program usually help form long-term friendships. He stated that many volunteers keep in contact with their adopted brothers and sisters after a long period of time. Many volunteers in this program have had similar experiences to the children and are sympathetic to the situation. McQuillen added it was important for the volunteer to “understand the needs of the children, and also to know where they’re coming from. Be-A-Friend is not a cure all.

There are inadequate facilities provided for the students who must use the campus, and for the departments who are caught in limbo, especially those presently housed at the Ridge Lea Campus. The expenses of renting Ridge Lea and bussing students among the three campuses have been borne too long, and have eaten up monies that should have been used for this University's pursuit of academic excellence. There are other problems involved with Amherst construction of course: the Division of the Budget has failed to release almost $56 million in construction funds already appropriated; Governor Hugh Carey has apparently wavered in his support for the campus in his Executive budget; and, Stony Brook is clamoring for money for their own construction. Should the Senate decide to call for a boycott of local banks, SA's own substantial Marine Midland account would , be a good place to start. Call for NFG rebate As the worst winter in Buffalo's history draws to a close, National Fuel Gas (NFG) profits have reached an all-time high. While appealing to their customers to conserve fuel supplies, threatening cutoffs to businesses and industries, and asking for school closings, they have offered no help to the troubled consumer who, along with the burden of higher than average gas bills, has been victimized by the brutal weather in many other ways. Buffalo's unemployment, already staggering, was compounded by closings and layoffs necessitated by the fuel crisis. The New York Public Interest Research Group's (NVPIRG) efforts to secure an NFG rebate for its local customers deserve full public support. The combined pressure of NVPIRg, community groups, and student groups should all be brought to bear on NFG, in order to bring the rebate into reality Guest Opinion Michael Sartisky Stratton Rawson Christine Lubinski Brian Caraher Janies Guthrie as individuals; Rebecca Cochran Melanie Mecca Paul Tidwell Louis Morgan The non-voters have won again, aided by the “professionally” minded, by the selfish and by the intimidated. Think of the grins and relief in Hayes Hall where the only good action is an inaction. The administration’s men have won, but ALL TAs and GAs will be the losers not just those who voted affirmatively. We will all bear the cost, for the vote will be taken as a license to continue the deterioration. We will bear witness as lines and programs disappear, as workloads increase, as women and minorities are systematically excluded, and we will know that it is because we did not act. The vote in the GSEU’s self-monitored referendum was 269 in favor of striking and 270 against; it failed by one vote. How did it happen? Several hundred TAs and GAs were morally negligent enough to simply not vote. Others, vulnerable students, were especially foreign intimidated by their departments and professors. In the Physics Department, for example, the following letter was signed by professors and circulated Wednesday to grad students: “Please let tne know and certainly no later than 10 o’clock tomorrow morning whether you intend to participate in the proposed GSEU strike.” Coupled with President Ketter’s public threat that the lines of GAS and TAs who did not meet their classes would be in jeopardy the threat is ummistakable.. Small wonder that the vast majority of that department did not vote. But it is true that the administration did not intimidate ev.eryone. They did not need to. There were those to whom they could simply appeal on the — Wednesday, 23 March 1977 Vol. 27, No. 69 Editor-in-Chief - Richard Korman Laura Bartlett Managing Editor Managing Editor Fredda Cohen Jerry L.

And the administrators themselves, what can we expect for them? A hundred bucks here, more cuts there. A “Committee” to oversee our work. Teaching required for the degree with NO pay. - More tuition increases. Fewer women and minorities in graduate programs. (We know of fewer than 12 American minority TAs and GAs.) Yes, we know what to expect from them if left alone. They may have “won” this one vote, but they are still what they are. Only we of the Union are still here. So let us make ourselves very clear.

Organizing goes on. The Spectrum show criticized 9 To the Editor. The Spectrum basis of their “professionalism.” All too often in our organizing did we encounter fellow grad students who would say, “I don’t care what happens here after I leave. I’m here to get my degree and get out.” A most respectable attitude. It is this attitude to which the administration has catered and which it fostered. “Be professional,” they say, “teach those classes, no matter how large they are.” Professionals don’t strike.” “Be professional, take the cuts with good grace, after all, you have your line.” “Professionalism” of this nature is pure selfishness. 270 votes for the status quo. How many of the 270 have done anything to improve or protect the very programs in which they participate? Petition they say. Lobby they say. We have done it all. But what have they done? They have told the administration that the cuts are acceptable. They have told the administration that the lies and contradictory information are acceptable. They have told the administration that intimidation is the Spectrum music staff was given six hours of time on WBUF, on Monday the 14th. They were given control of programming from 12 midnight to 6 a.m. Previously, ope of The Spectrum staff writers, Dimitri Papadopoulos, had asked us if we were interested in having one half hour’s worth of Pepperwood Greene tapes played during The Spectrum's alloted time. We naturally agreed. Later that week we met with Dimitri and James Braun at WBUF to edit the half hour of music. On Sunday morning Dimitri informed us that he had been promised the tape would be played sometime around 1:30 a.m. It obviously benefits a local band to have its music played on the radio, even late Sunday night, and naturally we asked a good number of people to listen in. By 2 a.m. the tape had not been played, although The Spectrum D.J.’s, John Duncan and Harold Goldberg, mentioned that they were going to play it. No specific time was given. It was around this time that we called WBUF, asked what time the tape would be played, and explained that we had asked a number of people to listen. They said over the phone that they didn’t know what time it was going to be played. Immediately afterwards they announced over the air that they had received a phone call concerning the tape and were going to play it around 4:30, no maybe 5:30 in the morning. For most of the show John Duncan and Harold Goldberg had been making jokes, comments, and conducted themselves in a way suggesting that they were to have a good time and didn’t really care about the material being played, including our tapes. About one half of the tape was played around 4 a.m. and to our knowledge the rest of it was never played. Pepperwood Greene has been a working part time band in Buffalo for four years. It is necessary for a band to get exposure in order to survive, and getting it is not always easy. We were very-grateful for the opportunity offered to us, but must protest the unprofessionalism and lack of sensitivity of The Spectrum D.J.’s. We would rather have had no exposure than the quality of what we received. Donald 1. Kraus Ted Lehman of Pepperwood Greene Syndicate. (c) 1977 Buffalo, N.Y. The Spectrum Student Periodical, Inc.

A dog wanders about aimlessly . That was in Hoover’s time! Now it’s 1968. 1 have been out covering Robert Kennedy’s presidential campaign. Word comes that King is murdered. As our plane flies back to Washington incredible bulletins come back to the press from the cockpit; reports we can’t believe. And yet, as we approach Washington and see the big Capitol dome a wisp of smoke floats behind it. It is worse than 1 imagined. It is evening; lights are on along F Street, the better to lopt with. They are breaking glass at a clothing store and the alarm is ringing. The shoestore beside it is already looted. Attention turns to the radio store across the street. The elders look on, hang back; the teenagers dare each other, laughing, and dart across the street for a bite or two at Ihe white man’s store, like a school of pirannas tearing a corpse. Why did they murder Martin Luther King? A police car goes by, stops, and goes on. Glass shatters again and a youth passes out articles from the store; one grabs a tape recorder and runs. Occasionally a late home-going car comes down the street not stopping except, oddly enough, for traffic lights. That symbol still holds, Kaufman’s Department Store is looted. On Pennsylvania Avenue I pass the place where 1 was holed up in the bonus riots years before. Violence is out from the manholes again. Now it is 1977. What is different today is the total coverage on radio and television. The city is not paralyzed at all. Youngsters are throwing frisbees in Lafayette Park. President Carter is greeting Prime Minister Callaghan, but without cannon salutes to fray nerves. The terrorists are getting what all terrorists want, maximum attention; the media are hostages, too. The District Building, or town hall, is on a kind of island, with a parking lot behind, and 1 circumnavigate it. The swelling elm buds make a brown mist overhead and one or two azalea blossoms have popped. We all gather beside Casimer Pulaski. His equestrian statue shelters radio men and TV crews and me. Everybody has a kind of nervous gaiety and 1 suddenly remember that’s the way it is. We look across at the silent, lethal top floor of the District building; the gunmen have 11 hostages, with another 30 city workers barricaded by themselves and fearful of being stormed. They lower ropes for food, . TRB The British came this way to burn the White House. But the present peril is home-made. I am standing on Pennsylvania Avenue where twice before each time different but each I have seen violence time with the same sense that anarchy is close, banging the very manhole covers to get out. The first time was the bonus riots under Herbert Hoover; they used tear gas then. After that was the riot when Martin Luther King was murdered in 1968, Tear gas again. Now there is a new twist. A line of orange traffic cones cordons off Pennsylvania Avenue because religious terrorists have grabbed three buildings and are holding them with hostages. It is eerily quiet. This is normally one of the busiest corners in town; there is a bus stop and no buses, a traffic light and no traffic. A patrol car watches across the Avenue. Two blocks down is the white six-story District Building, its top floor seized. Everybody watches it; nothing happens. Just a kind of violent silence. that was It was different in Hoover’s time noisy. My memory goes back to it. The nation is caught in the Depression and 8000 jobless veterans are encamped down the Avenue in a five-block area demolished for new Federal buildings. They plead for a bonus from Congress. Major General Douglas MacArthur and his aide (what’s his name? somebody called Eisenhower) push them out. Hoover issues a proclamation. “Many are Communists and persons with criminal records,” he says. “They must leave.” I go inside the shell of the former Steuart’s Ford agency, with a good view of the cordoned Avenue. Lower floors are filled with cots and bedding. A crowd watches across the Avenue. The police are in blue shirts; it’s July hot. Here come the troops. No flags, no band; a couple of tanks. The veterans can’t believe it. Most wear rags of their old uniforms. There is a brisk command down below, a rattle, the troops are fixing bayonets. “Buddies!” cry the veterans. The officer in the street yells up, “You got three minutes to clear out. Three minutes; 1 warn you!” Most decide to quit. They grab belongings. I move up a floor where a lone veteran is stretched on a cot with a bandaged eye; a fight, maybe. The roof gives a good view. There is another rattle below; troops put on masks. A tremor goes through the three or four of us on the roof. The tanks start their rattling engines; police hastily cross to the other side. Somebody throws a stone; the riot starts. A soldier pulls back his arm like a pitcher and throws a can. “Phosgene!” screams a veteran. It isn’t that, of course; it’s crying gas. The can hisses and emits white tentacles. Suddenly the crowd across the way wilts and runs; they have caught it. Our roof is safe like a mountain above clouds. Half an hour later a clean-up squad finally spots us and a blond boy of about 18 puts a bayonet at my chest. We are crying so hard as we descend that they have to guide us. Soldiers burn huts and tents. — ; Page ten . • t Casimer Pulaski 1747-1779. . . He’s on a kind of traffic triangle. Behind him is the National Theater showing “BULLY,” the one-man show about Teddy Roosevelt with James Whitmore. Nobody is in the theater foyer, I discover, but a little man behind the ticket grill tells me there will be no performance tonight absolutely unless unless that other show across the Avenue is over “by six.” He’s precise about curtain time. Terrorists make their demand today by telephone; radio picks up their voices. That’s the new feature. Violence and anger are instantaneously broadcast into the living room. It blots out everything else; the technical marvel that transmits the crisis creates the crisis. A young man at Princeton has just submitted a highly praised paper on how to make an atomic bomb. Not too difficult to do, he says. What if terrorists get one? The veneer of life is getting thinner. I still hear that alarm bell ringing in the shoe store long ago, even as the looting went on. It was calling civilization to come. The Spectrum . Wednesday, 23 March 1977 — In solidarity To the Editor. On behalf of ourselves and the GSF.U, we would like to publicly recognize the commitment and support of undergraduates during our recent strike building efforts. Members of the Undergraduate Support Committee spent four long weeks educating themselves and others about the GSEU; writing leaflets, canvassing dorms, sitting at GSEU information tables, and contacting student groups. The myth of a conflict of interests between and undergraduates was effectively graduates debunked by the collective work of union members and undergraduates. Undergraduates not only recognized common interests, but acted on them. Women’s Studies College wrote the GSEU a strong letter of support and also offered concrete suggestions for cultural and alternate education activities, provided personnel for pickets, and generated many useful ideas for the Women’s Caucus work on affirmative action. Undergraduates wore union support buttons, attended our fundraisers, joined informational pickets, and applauded the GSEU Rally Song in cafeterias across the three campuses. We would like to extend a special thanks to those individuals who lost sleep and study time making banners and posters and lending sorely needed moral support to tired uniop organizers. Even though we did not meet on the picket lines, our mutual support can and will continue. The threats to public higher education and the Ketter Administration’s complicity leave us only each other to look to for support and to organize resistance. We reaffirm our commitment to an educational system which serves the needs of all who work and study here as we salute the dedication of those who share it and will continue to work for its realization.

I’ve said often the only time 1 feel really welcome in The Spectrum office (by the editorial staff) is when I’m paying for an ad. Though you have printed many of my letters (and maybe even this one) you have never granted us the courtesy you've just shown Hare Krishna (nor has it been granted to the other campus ministries). This is even more curious to me, since the advertising Krishna uses to get people to their house is not up-front, not openly honest there is no direct mention of who is preparing or serving the vegetarian meals. Vegetarians arc more than welcome at the free suppers Wes icy Foundation has also. Why is what they do more newsworthy than what we do in the minds ofThe editorial staff who assigns the jobs? Please, don’t let my disappointment and frustrations for the last five years cloud your future assignments, but please be fair about choosing your assignments. 1 here is also much that can be said about a false understanding of the material world leading to a spiritualistic retreat from reality and a loss of the lives of the individuals involved. — Agape, Rod Saunders, Campus Minister Wesley Foundation Director �t Lincoln Logs and Erector Set Corp. to supply us' with most of our building materials.” Play-Doh, bullpen by David J. Rubin Special Features Editor The State of New York today announced that the Amherst Campus would in fact be entirely the 1978-79 completed by academic year. In a press release handed down yesterday, the State quashed a sea of rumors which said that some of the new facilities were being totally eliminated while others would not be completed before 1985. The report was read at a press conference by State spokesman Bjor Ocracy. He said not only would all Amherst facilities be completed as planned, but they would be built for just $50,000, tens of millions less than originally anticipated. Ocracy said the cost savings are a result of careful budgeting and “sound governmental decisions.” He explained that the reduction in cost would come primarily out of the labor and materials lines. “Some of our materials will not be of as high a quality as in the past, but inflation and budget restraints have forced us into a weakened position,” said Ocracy. “However, I am able to announce that we have just this morning signed contracts with Tinkertoy, Ocracy then discusses the labor explaining that the savings, construction and architectural functions were being combined and performed by one group. “We felt the new materials warranted new blueprints,” said Ocracy. “Therefor^, - I am most gratified to announce that we have arranged to hire third graders from the Lake Road Elementary School in Clarence to supervise and construct all new Amherst campus facilities.” Ocracy continued, “We feel expertise with the new building materials makes them more qualified to build our campus than any old architect.” their The Organization of Arab Students and THE MIDDLE EAST COMMITTEE of THE COUNCIL ON INTERNATIONAL STUDIES (SUNYAB) invite you to attend a lecture Ocracy added that since the students are minors, minimum wage laws do not apply. “Our agreement with the Lake Road School calls for payment in Oreos and Eskimo Pies,” said Ocracy. He Applications for the position of Editor-in-Chief of The Spectrum for the 1977-78 academic year will be accepted until Wednesday, March 30. The application should be in the form of a letter to the Editorial Board stating reasons for interest in the position, qualifications, and previous journalistic experience. The position is open to any student enrolled at the State University of New York at Buffalo. The Editorial Board will interview all candidates on Thursday evening, March 31. Prospective candidates are asked to contact Richard Korman, Room 355 Norton Hall, to familiarize themselves with procedural questions about the position or about The Spectrum.

A planning committee chaired by eight-year-old Ralphie Littlekid has already drawn up some ideas. discussed his Littlekid committee’s plans for the physical education building. He said, “We wanna make 16 see-saws and two merry-go-rounds.” He added, “There will also be seven indoor hopscotch courts.” Ocracy did admit that one new expense would be incurred because of the employment of the third graders. He said, “We have been on the phone with Lloyds of London, and for $50,000 a year they will insure us against the “willful knocking down” of any building by any builder’s brother or sister up to the age of 17.” Dear Friend B"H In accordance with Jewish Law, all "Chometz" (Leavening or derivatives of same) may not be in the possession of a Jew during the Passover Holiday.

Eight men’s teams and five women’s teams competed, including teams from Buffalo, Buffalo State, Brockport and many private judo clubs, reported tournament director William Greco. Buffalo’s women’s team, consisting of senior Margot Eckert, junior Mary Jane Stein and freshman Debbie Calabria, started the match by defeating Buffalo State 3-0. In the championship round, they upset the Kawasaki Judo Club women’s team 2-1. The Kawasaki Judo Club members all had blue belts, while none of the Buffalo women were ranked that high.

Princeton, the second ranked team in the nation behind Rutgers, was disoriented and played a sloppy game, due'to the loss of their top player, Eric Talkington. During the first three minutes of play, Talkington r?/> head first into a cement wall while trying to bat the frisbee away in a superlative defensive effort.

Cornell, with 35 players, constantly substituted new men into the game in an effort to fatigue the Buffalo team. Buffalo was able to stay within five goals of Cornell at the half, but the Big Red continued to run, and Buffalo couldn’t catch up. Led by John Cohan, third in the nation this year in throwing the frisbee for distance, Cornell was able to score on long passes and by moving the frisbee down field with short and intermediate length passes. Despite making the road trip with only one half of the team, Buffalo played a very tough, team oriented game. When Buffalo took its time in moving the frisbee down field, using quick short passes, they were usually able to score. Most of their turnovers occurred when, in an attempt to score quickly, the Bulls threw long bombs which were easily defended against unless executed with perfect precision. Buffalo’s next scheduled tournament is at Pittsburgh against Carnegie-Mellon University and Oberlin University. -Kevin Luks Ify Wilkeson - m If you don't vote — don't BITCH!! m v.v.

Partisan media campaigns and Legislative infighting are expected to escalate this week as the Assembly and Senate vote on Governor Carey’s recommended State budget.

We can only trust each other I don’t trust Ketter just as I don’t trust the Buffalo weather.” administration. Rawson warned, “We can only The Student Graduate back if you watch, work, and be Union Employees (GSEU) strike statement A prepared concerning the referendum was read to local newspaper reporters during a meeting Friday in Diefendorf Hall: Figures disclosed for the first time last week show that Stony Brook, now waging an intense, well-organized campaign to get SUNY Buffalo construction monies, has actually received almost twice as much funding as Buffalo, which is designed to accommodate 7000 more students upon completion. “What we’ve found in these figures,” said President Robert Ketter, “is that we are extremely efficient, doing a very good job with our nloney compared to Stony Brook. According to the totals, they are more elaborate and much less efficient than we had thought in the past. To tell you the truth, I’m simply floored by these numbers.” Stony Brook 90 percent completed Where Stony Brook has received approximately $588 million to date for its core campus, Health Science complex and utility projects, Buffalo has received only $301 million. Most of Stony Brook’s construction took place in the 1960’s, when building and labor costs were significantly less expensive. Costly construction expenses, combined with the higher rates of inflation under which SUNY Buffalo has to build, make the disparity even greater. At present, Stony Brook is also slated to receive over twice as much as Buffalo in the Legislature’s Supplemental Budget. With its more plentiful funding, Stony Brook has been able to build 90 percent of its planned facilities, while Buffalo has been held to a mere 40 percent. Furthermore, unlike Stony Brook, Buffalo is under the constraint of a construction spending ceiling of $650 million, set in 1967. Since that time, the $650 million figure has been considerably eroded by inflation “With construction frozen and inflation rates the way they are,” says Ketter, “we’re watching our $650 million rapidly go up in smoke.” Blank check SUNY Buffalo is the only campus in the State University system that is confined by a ceiling on construction spending. Stony Brook and the other 64 SUNY campuses are funded step by step, with no set limits on spending. “Stony Brook has been given a blank check of sorts,” says one administrator here, “and although we’re far behind them in construction and subject to a limit on our allocations, they’re still trying to lay claim to a lot of our money.” A February New York Times article reported: “So far, Stony Brook’s leaders point out coyly that the effort [to secure additional money] has paid off.” Because the Amherst Campus (originally to be completed in 1972) is less than half built, departments have not been able to vacate the Main Campus. This makes it difficult to justify funds for the conversion of Main Street into a Health Science complex. Stony Brook has received $352 million so far toward its Health Science complex. Legislative battle The contest for appropriations is apparently a political showdown. Though SUNY Buffalo’s new campus is 12 years behind schedule and less than half complete, Stony Brook proponents are planning “to wage a floor fight” in the State Legislature to obtain a better portion of the SUNY system’s and specifically SUNY Buffalo’s construction budget. On February 27, The New York limes ran an article which stated “Arthur J. Kremer, Democrat from Long Island and Chairman of the Assembly Ways and Means Committee, wrote the SUNY Trustees with a thinly veiled threat to torpedo the Buffalo construction plan unless [Stony Brook] was also carried through as originally planned.” Besides Kremer, Stanley Steingut, the Assembly Speaker from Brooklyn, and Perry Duryea, Minority Leader from Montauk, are exerting heavy political pressure in Stony Brook’s behalf From the Buffalo area. Senator James McFarland and Assemblyman James Fremming head the list of legislators, including Assemblymen Hoyt, Eve, Walsh and Kidder, and Senator James Griffin, trying to muster their own political leverage in behalf of SUNY Buffalo. — Page two .

After Rawson’s rousing speech, the meeting was opened for proposals on what action should now be taken. Graduate student Michael Walsh, seated in the center aisle with the rest of the GAs and TAs, began this section of the meeting with a proposal calling for a strike referendum for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. “I suggest we try it,“ he said. One undergraduate student remarked, “Many may have been disenfranchised by Ketter and the weather.” His suggestion to extend the vote to today was met with a rebuttal from a member of the group of TAs and GAs who GSEU Stratton Secretary Rawson aired his “shock at the loss” and called for unity among all graduate and teaching and (GAs TAs). assistants Recalling last year’s strike vote which failed by 17 votes, he said, “I stayed then, and I will stay now!” He referred to the COLLEGE STUDENTS administration as “vicious men” PART TIME Earn $10.00 per hr who are driving the GSEU to as an American Youth Enterprise desperation. - - Dealer Rawson made a special point of complimenting Blue Bird bus stood up and said the proposal be construed by the administration as trying to drag out the votes.” A low bu?z of discontent from the audience followed, and the proposal was dropped for lack of support. “may Write Fred Novak, Dept.

The scheduled move from Norton (Squire) Hall to the new campus will not be completed for another five years due to the delay in construction of three of the six buildings slated to house student organizations on the Amherst Campus. The Amherst Campus as it now stands. The campus was expected to boost the suffering Buffalo economy; however, there are now only 200 construction workers employed at Amherst, compared to 2800 during the construction peak. The Division of the Budget has announced it will release funds to resume construction, pending $3 million worth of bonds purchased by local banks, ostensibly a symbol of community support. The banks have informally refused the plan. — — tower. projects. Of that $65 million, Stony —continued on page 4— Bond purchase informally rejected Ketter urges Buffalo banks support construction by Fredda Cohen Managing Editor University President Robert Ketter will meet with the heads of local banks Wednesday, urging them to purchase $3 million worth of short-term bonds necessary to resume construction of the Amherst Campus. The State Division of the Budget has pledged the release of $13 million in funds for Amherst Construction, pending the sale of the $3 million to local banks or businesses. University administrators had hoped Buffalo commercial banks would assume the responsibility of bond purchasing, rekindling faith in the State’s Housing Finance Agency (HFA) bonds, whose precarious state has left local investors leery of further commitments. An article in last Wednesday’s Buffalo Evening News revealed that local bankers will not participate in the plan geared to stimulate building on the new campus, further damaging HFA’s shaky credibility. ‘Not definite’ However, Donald C. Cielewich, the regional vice president for Marine Midland Bank Western told The Spectrum on Friday that the decision is “not definite.” Ketter and representatives from the Division of the Budget will lobby before the Buffalo Clearing House comprised of all 11 local banks in an effort to reassure the bankers - - that HFA bonds will be strongly backed by tuitions. As of now, the bankers are hesitant to purchase bonds which they feel are not earmarked for Amherst Construction. Although Ketter has repeatedly asserted that the money is specifically designated for the new campus, bankers are still doubtful that the allocation can be guaranteed. Furthermore, Cielewich noted that HFA is the only agency in New York that can issue notes for construction. Currently, HFA has better than $500 million worth of short term notes that must be purchased to initiate all state construction. Local support a must The short-term bonds must be paid with interest to the investors within 18 months. The bonds are then converted into long-term bonds, which are backed by tuition and sold on the open market. Apparently, the local banks are not confident that the State will be able to pay off the bonds within the 18 month period, especially since HFA came close to default in 1975. At this time, it is unlikely that the Division of the Budget will release more construction funds if the University cannot muster local support. “The state is telling the local bankers that they want some indication that the community’s banks are interested enough in these projects to the point that they will buy a major percent of these bonds for construction,” explained University Information Director actually James DeSantis. “In reverse, the banks seem to be saying they’re not sure the money will go to these projects specifically, so that finally, neither will move.” Elwood Wardlow, Managing Editor of the Buffalo Evening News, said that even though five of the local banks have already decided against financing the bonds, and the remaining six will in all possibility make a similar decision, “there could be a turn-around.” An absolute necessity The banks have too much of a portfolio, Wardlow explained, and are not anxious to undertake more. They are also uncertain as to the prudence of purchasing these type of bonds, despite the University’s insistence that the bonds are financially sound. Referring to the bonds, Wardlow said, “I think perhaps they are a little more valid than the banks would at first think.” Wardlow said he had written to many legislators, urging support in Albany for the completion of the Amherst Campus. He said, however, the paper would not editorialize on the purchase refusals until it was certain that the banks had been “strongly encouraged” and that their refusal would kill any chance of construction funding by the State. Ketter has called the bond purchase “an absolute necessity.” Monday, 21 March 1977 . The Spectrum Page three . �Stony Brook, Buff(do. The four-course load lingers at Binghamton —~ Another indication that the Brook campaign was successful is Governor Carey’s present Executive Budget. Stony Brook is slated to get $17.4 million for its construction and new equipment budget while SUNY Buffalo is listed for $9.9 these categories, in million according td the Budget. In regard to SUNY Buffalo, the Executive Budget eliminates four essential buildings from Amherst the Music and Chamber Hall, the Health, Phys.

The decreased busing budget will further complicate matters by over-taxing what remains of Buffalo’s operating budget — • The pressure from SUNY Central was applied last summer in the proposing that Buffalo form of the Dearing Memorandum, a document here and Binghamton adopt the 3 credit, 5 course system. The response during day is hour the when no Hour.” This an “Noon is the proposed classes will be scheduled. Courses which cannot justify their four credit and thus rating will schedule extra contact hours during this hour, avoid having to meet on four different days. However, Binghamton seems to have appeased SUNY Central without changing the number of contact hours in most of its courses. Matt Moser, News Editor of Binghamton’s student publication, Pipe Dream explained that Binghamton has chosen instead to justify the retention of its present system. In December 1976, Binghamton submitted an extensive report concerning its curriculum to SUNY Central. In this report, all'courses offered were broken down into four categories, each category representing a different means of — SUNY Staff Writer justification. courses having The course breakdown is as follows; 32 percent weekly lqbs, studios, recitations, etc., such that total contact time is courses holding required but greater than four hours; nine percent irregular meetings such as field, trips, movies and guest lectures; six courses having optional meetings such as those mentioned percent courses having extraordinary requirements above; 48 percent (homework, projects) such that the student receives the equivalent of an extra hour of instruction. Five percent of the courses do not fit any category, but according to Sheldon Grebstein, Dean of Arts and Sciences and Harpur College at Binghamton, additions will be made to the requirements of these courses so that they will meet the qualifications of one of the four categories. Grebstein said the School of Arts and Sciences is not planning to reduce the credit value of any of its courses, although this may occur in other parts of the University. - - — - strained which it must provide to transportation to three separate maintain campuses. The pursuit of construction funds appears to have divided Democratpoliticians into Republican and lipstate-downstate factions.

Stony Brook officials using been economic have and enrollment data to convince the public and the legislature of their needy state of affairs. They point to a 10 percent unemployment rate among Long Island construction workers to emphasize the need for a new flow of construction dollars into the Suffolk County area. They also stress a general jobless figure of 7 percent. Proponents of the Amherst suffers a 25 percent shortfall. Money diverted to Stony Brook “That’s hard to believe,” said Information Director DeSantis, “considering the fact that SUNY Buffalo had over 18,000 freshmen applicants and was able to accept only 2600. We registered one out of every nine applicants in the State last year, and we were in the highest demand of any of the 66 SUNY campuses.” Although the SUNY Board of Trustees has recently reiterated their pledge to complete the Amherst Campus, and outgoing SUNY Chancellor Ernest Boyer has said “Stony Brook’s gain will not be Buffalo’s loss,” sources close to the situation say it is still possible that some of the money promised to SUNY Buffalo could be diverted to Stony Brook. Downstate legislators, in fact, seem to be working toward this SUNY other were campuses receiving additional funds including Stony Brook, which had not requested the money they got.” — Buffalo’s stagnant economy Stony Brook now stands 90 percent completed, compared to a 40 percent completion mark for Amherst. The downstate school is able at present to accommodate 17.000 of a projected 19,000 total enrollment. Amherst, scaled down to a planned capacity of 25,500 from an original 40,000 projection, is now ready for only 10.000 students. Sources close to Amherst say that 600 construction construction workers could go to work within 3 months if SUNY Buffalo received the $13 million it needs to start construction. Three years ago there were 2800 construction workers building the Amherst Campus; there are now less than 200. Local legislators have tied the Buffalo’s stagnant economy. They also feel that a student letter-writing campaign to members of the State Assembly and Senate in the next week could “We found it odd,” said one administrator, “that in greatly affect SUNY Buffalo’s Buffalo Campus counter this by pointing million in SUNY budgeting for the next fiscal year. 1973, S34 general out that Buffalo’s funds The Assembly is to enter its construction Buffalo unemployment ranges from 10 to Finance to the Carey Budget the Senate 14 percent, with the local disappeared in soon after that amendments by April I.

Hie Spectrum Monday, 21 March 1977 No guarantee Grebstein said Binghamton is now in an interim period. He explained that SUNY Central has accepted the report and will allow retention of the four course load for the time being. However, Binghamton will have to submit i comprehensive evaluation concerning every course in the curriculum. Grebstein estimates this report will be two years in the making, and there is no guarantee that SUNY Central will not apply more pressure during that time. “It is by no means a comfortable situation,” said Grebstein. “However for this semester, we have satisfied Central. At the moment, we do not have underway any drastic overhaul.” Buffalo and Binghamton may also be headed for some fiscal woes next year. A proposed new definition of the Full Time Equivalent student (FTE) may mean less money for the two schools in 1977-78. Both Buffalo and Binghamton presently receive more money than their fifteen-credit counterparts, since it presumably costs more to deliver sixteen credits worth of instruction. The new FTE would simply be defined as any student taking twelve or more credits, and thus the two SUNY University Centers would lose their monetary edge. If implemented, the new FTE would make the four/five course load argument moot from a financial point of view, since it would no longer matter whether a school used a fifteen or sixteen credit system per semester. However, the other advantage of the four course load would not'be affected, and the two schools would most likely still try to retain it. — GRAND OPENING!

His stated purpose was “to help people expand their work satisfaction, and to increase their effectiveness in the job market.” Jackson said his lecture would not be the usual theoretical jargon that in only appears the classroom, but rather something of practical value that could be applied to the job market. has .Jackson extensive experience with the job market from several perspectives, since he is a professional attorney. He offers workshops for frustrated souls who have been in the work world five to twelve years, and are dissatisfied with their lot. This workshop only takes twelve hours and shows people how to get “unstuck” and alter their lifestyle, he indicated. Jackson is also a management for several consultant corporations. He felt his primary function is to teach employers “how to hire.” Enjoy yourself Jackson stressed the concept of learning to enjoy your work, insisting that people cease dividing their life into two parts, before five and after five, and that “we must view work and lifetime as one and the same.” He added that the average person is at work ten thousand days, expending their most energetic and alert hours. “This time should not be spent get home,” to he waiting remarked. This University has several resources, including the Career University the Library and Placement Office, which Jackson claims are helpful if you know how to use them. “Opportunity does not knock,” he warned. “No one will come to your kitchen table and offer you a job.” Jackson formula for The getting hired is learning the overall system, and then showing how you will be of value to them. The way to do this is to first identify what problems exist within the firm you hope to work for, and your potential communicate contributions in these areas. He added that showing that you want the job, or need it, will impede your chances of getting it. Lets take a trip After twenty minutes of learning practical approaches to job getting, the audience closed their eyes, while the “Job Doctor” led them on a journey. The excursion was a helicopter ride around the world. Jackson instructed everyone to decide where they wanted to live and work, and then command the pilot to take them there. After imaginations had reached their limits, the audience returned from the “ideal jobs” to their auditorium. Then, Jackson asked the crowd M \ lr\\ FOR DISCOUNTS OFFERED TO STUDENTS, FACULTY AND STAFF THE STUDENT DIRECTORY what they would ideally chose to do in a year, three years, and five years hence. He requested that they examine which of these jobs were practical possibilities, taking into account what we were willing to do to achieve that status, and to our inate talent. This was used to compile a list of job possibilities that were practical and that would bring us satisfaction, his definition of success. He surprised the audience by charging that it is not the best qualified people who get the best jobs, but rather those who are most skilled in job finding. Tragic college Jackson describes "youth of today as people who know the “payload system” including memorizing notes and exam taking, but have totally ignored the delivery system. He views this as a tragedy, since the “delivery system”is what links you to the jobs which pay the best. A Jackson tip for a job interview is to ask the employer, early in the interview, what is he looking for. Then, follow up the question with behavior that is the to what compatible , employer wants, prospective without making it ridiculously obvious. He assured the audience that this is a highly effective method. Jackson says the interview is essential and must be handled properly.

Construction has been at a virtual standstill for 15 months now, and the campus stands 40 percent complete. The freeze on Amherst construction must be lifted soon because the cost in money and confusion of operating a multi-campus University during a prolonged transition is too great to stand, the accelerating cost of construction work diminishes the value of future allocations, and a boost to the local economy is needed. An example of the damage being done is that reductions by Governor Carey in rental funds for the Ridge Lea Campus will require moving departments to an unrehabilitated Main Street Campus. Moreover, arguments for the completion of the Amherst Campus were fortified last week by new information which showed that Stony Brook had been allocated the greater part of its construction funds in the mid 1960's, when the cost of construction was much lower than in the early 1970's, when most of the existing Amherst Campus was built. The discrepancy in real dollars may be such that Stony Brook received almost twice as much for completion of its physical plant as Buffalo was granted for the building of Amherst. During the mid semester break, the Long Island Press and several downstate political leaders, including Assembly Speaker Stanley Steingut, co-operated to mount a regional media and lobbying campaign in favor of finishing the 90 percent complete Stony Brook campus at the expense of the Amherst Campus. A statistic indicating that Long Island generates more SUNY students than Western New York was used to justify the somewhat distorted picture of an overexpanded University of Buffalo. Fighting for public higher education money by regional boosterism is an ugly, unfortunate outcome of the crisis in the state economy. It would be to both Stony Brook and this University's benefit to join forces in convincing Albany of the desperate necessity of completing both campuses, rather than battling for construction dollars at each other's expense. proposals of the G.S.E.U., not against us. We want the members of your administration to devote their salaried efforts to the support of the students, not to We’re the students at SUNYAB, and we’re here for the best education possible. Help us work for the Betsy Meixell pm LINE Meanwhile, there are three areas crucial to the Amherst Campus that may be decided this week. Local bankers may reconsider last week's informal rejection of a guarantee to back $3 million in bonds to finance new construction. Such backing would amount to a critical show of local support on the construction issue. Bank leaders may have been unaware last week that the bonds would have been tied specifically to projects at the Amherst Campus. The Division of the Budget in Albany has failed since 1974 to release some $56.6 million in construction funds already earmarked for completion of five buildings at the Amherst Campus. All five are designed and ready for contracting.'DOB has given no reason for the freeze. Senate and Assembly Committees will be voting on specific projects in the Executive Budget. For reasons already cited, we urge the committee leadership to restore at least some of the more than $27,000,000 in construction projects either eliminated or reduced by the Governor. Standing half built and dormant, most of this University's dreams of a great new campus have faded. The question that remains is whether the University will remain crippled by transition, or whether it will be allowed to face its future at Amherst with the campus it needs to remain a first-rate institution.

On Wednesday, Mar. 16, 1977 our beloved, and rhetorically well-equipped, anonymous Oliver-Goode Fayte spoke out in this place. He spoke too long: quantity may not necessarily be equated with quality. The verbal vanity of that “wishy-washy creep’' was “insouciant,” and it took him too long to miss the crucial points. Apart from my anger, 1 feel pity for that alienated object. But the kind of “hog swill”, “bat guano” and (let me be inventive, too!)-chicken-shit (Ha!) that we were presented with here was too poor a performance to be accepted. Sure, our friend seems to be grown up: he does no longer shout with the dirty crowd. Striking out against the “motley folks” from those disciplines that require the “least discipline”, brandishing the syntax (or does he mean semantics?) of rebellion that started in the profligate English Department, he might well be a member of the “professional” group of aspiring pure scientists who refuse to be called “working class” (see Reporter, Mar. 17, 1977), Apart from this bourgeois elitism, Oliver shows already the well-developed dispositions of a good scientist: he is humble enough to prostrate himself as an apprentice, versed enough to know whose asses are most rewarding to kiss, and conditioned enough to stick to the positivist selection of facts that fits into system (some his people this call reductionalism, some even short-sightedness!). The value-free statement that “nobody of good heart and cheer (like myself) would really wish to debate the GSEU on those points they are impotent to affect anyway” does not show the least insight into the dialectics of what works in which way and WHY. That strikes me, Oliver: you never ask WHY. Why arc we so important (and do not think we do not know ‘who runs the big business of this university)? Why can “half” of the undergraduates in the English Department (a little hit high, don’t you think?) not “write correctly” ( Moreover, it’s too late to teach basic grammar at that level of education~the reasons for these faults do not lie with the TAs in that department, believe me!)? Why is there a threat of another increase in tuition next year (you don’t have to make statements of facts. We know them, Oliver, but we want to know WHY)? Why does Ketter “neither negotiate nor arrange negotiations”? That’s not science, Oliver I knowthat’s politics; but we have to live with it! Why does the salary of $3000 for GAs and TAs not reflect the increase in the cost of living of nearly 7 percent since 1968? ! know, Oliver, that this is a matter of ethics for you. Not only, but also. You are right when you say that quantitative (and sometimes, even qualitative) output of “Professor X (notorious onanist)” is higher than that of grad student F. (By the way, sometimes your humor is really cheering!). You even quote Marx, Oliver (a “professional” slip into “labor”). Very good; but you forget a point in the dialectic: the division of labor. You can see that in the fact that some grad students have to correct up to 40 papers a week midterms finals, while their professoral supervisors make “some commitment to research” or “production” or “commitments.” A fact of which F. has probably conceived long before you ever will. I know, Oliver, that this is a matter of ethics for you, and of scientific standards (apprentice is apprentice!). But they don’t nourish your body. Apart from these standards, can you really survive on $3000 (some 140 TAs and GAs live on even less than that!) in a country that has the moral quality of life of the USA? Another WHY, Oliver. Why is it so difficult to get accurate information about the organizational and financial issues at stake? Good faith, Mr. Goode Fayte,” is too closely connected with a phenomenological conception of reality. If you argue on this basis, YOU are the demagogue. In this case, your verbal firework against the GSEU was just another nice and typical piece of bourgeois ideology. We thank you for the demonstration. In case you want to use your time as an apprentice at this university to learn something else besides purity, you should contact the GSEU and INFORM yourself before you speak out the next time. Fm sure they will accept you as an apprentice in Critical Theory. 1 would like to talk with you, Oliver. But you are not even smart enough to know your own premises, you are a perfect part and product of the system that we fight.

Your report (March 4) on the Special Problems Unit of University Polige tends to mislead, though I suspect it was the men of the Special Problems Unit, not you, who wanted it to turn out that way. Let me briefly try to set things straight. You state that the plainclothes unit “was born on April 19, 1976. ‘The problems we had were getting out of hand so we decided to try a new approach.’ This suggests that there was no official, long-term plainclothes University Police operation on this campus prior to that date. But in fact, as early as February 1975 an undercover detail (of what was then called Campus Security) was deployed in and around the basement men’s rooms of Harriman Library and Crosby Hall, areas which gay males had been using for years, and continue to use, as meeting places. (See The Spectrum, Feb. 19, 21, and 24, 1975, and Ethos, Feb. 13 and 20.) A spokesman for Security said at that time that this detail was “charged with stopping alleged ‘open sexual acts’ by people who were considered to be outsiders to the university” (The Spectrum, Mar, 5, 1975). Gay people and civil libertarians said, and have continued to say, that university cops in plain clothes are engaged in a program of harassment and intimidation, if not downright entrapment, of gay men on campus. (See my articles in Ethos, Sept, and Oct., 1976). There has always been considerable public disagreement as to the plaipclthesmen’s purpose and precise activities, but there has never been any disagreement that early in 1975 a special, detail was assigned to the men’s bathroom areas in Harriman and Crosby, and has been there regularly ever since. Indeed, the Chet Menkiena you describe as “the unit’s newest member” is an old hand—two photographs of him in his gay-baiting outfit, one taken in Harriman basement, appeared on thesensational front page of the Feb. 21, 1975 issue of The Spectrum in which undercover Security activities in Harriman and Crosby were finally exposed. (The other shot of Menkiena shows him alongside Officer Gardner, who is still to be seen—in his same old, not very sexy, ou.tfil—hanging around ... ” Harriman.) • Unfortunately, your story misleads not only about dates. Much worse, by never mentioning their ongoing activities in the bathrooms, it makes the men ■ of the Special Problems Unit (I wonder who thought euphemism) up that look like All-Around-Campus-Good-Guys-costumed crusaders who catch bicycle and purse snatchers, recover and return all sorts of stolen property, have virtually eliminated CB thefts, make “no concentrated narcotics effort,” and have never done anything more questionable than arrest an occasional student for smoking marijuana “right in front” of them. Who could complain? But in fact, in the basements of Harriman Library and Crosby Hall, University cops are continually cruising the men’s rooms in what they must imagine to be homoerptically alluring plain clothes, arresting non-students for simply “loitering,” trying to con students and non-students alike into committing or offering to commit illegal sexual acts they will then be apprehended for, interrogating some of those who are apprehended as to some of their most private feelings, ordering students never to return to certain University buildings (though President Ketter publicly declared, on Feb. 18, 1975, that he is the only person with authority to issue such orders), arresting some students for “soliciting,” threatening others with “arrests downtown” if they refuse to see a shrink (i.e., if they refuse to admit, thereby, that they’re “sick”), and on and on. Undercover cops have been engated in such activity here for over two years. Some of your readers, of course, may feel that it, too, fits the image of Campus-Good-Guy. The majority, I trust, will feel quite the opposite, and that it is high time to put an end to it. Even without arrest, the psychological harm such police intimidation inflicts on gay males, particularly those in the earlier stages is coming out, of immense —indeed, immeasurable—and very cruel. Worse, it is harm inflicted on persons who are harming no one. At best, the Uarriman operation is a waste of time and money that could be spent preventing and apprehending thieves, muggers, and rapists. God knows. University Police is not overstaffed and the SUNYAB campuses are not exactly crime-free. But as Office Jay told your reporter: “The men in our unit are aggressive. We enjoy our work and often put in our own time.” I believe it. Well, if they’re “so keen on hanging around bathrooms,” as a wise graffiti artist suggested a few months ago just above the Harriman urinals, let them "do it at home.” Burton Wem, James T.

Edward Hollander of the State Education Department, SASU Jackalone, Frank President, Assemblyman Melvin H. Miller and Hank Paley, President of the Independent Commission of Colleges and Universities. The speakers unanimously condemned the Commissions report, citing “the ending of open admission” and “to much interference by the Board of Regents” as reasons for opposing the plan. Jackalone criticized the two university system proposal as “a bad copy of the California System.” Strong support The last two days of the conference were devoted to meetings with members of the New York State Legislature priorities, SASU concerning including reinstatement of Carey’s proposed $40.7 million cut in TAP aid. Most of these cuts will adversely effect SUNY and CUNY students. Joel Packer, SASU Legislative Director, feels that “we have quite a lot of support for TAP now. The major cut, that lowers the maximum TAP award by $100 is where we have our strongest support.” SASU also pushed for an million for $1.2 additional graduate student stipends, and $1 million for libraries, and a bill which would add four students to the Higher Education Services Corporation (HESC). HESC is the corporation which handles all financial aid programs, including Scholarship, «and TAP, Regents loans. SASU has addition, In proposed three bills to make voting easier for students next year. Our bill will allow a simple letter of request to get an absentee ballot, as opposed to the system as it now stands where in order to get an absentee ballot, a form must also be request completed. This two-step process prevented many people from voting last November. Other bills provide for voter registration forms to be available in public places and to provide written explanations of the ballot for those who decriminalization Marijuana was another priority.

Lippes Loop trounced Converse All-Stars 85-64 in a semi-final game on March 16. The Loop was led by guard Paul Pass, who penetrated for 26 points. Jim Randall and Phil Rosenberg chipped ip for 41 points and controlled the backboards. Mark Golubow of the All-Stars put on a show in a losing cause, scoring 27 points with an assortment of twisting drives and long range shots. In the other semi-final match, the Boss Players (5-2) broke open a relatively close game with Latko Printing midway through the second half, when they switched to a three-quarters court press which Latko couldn’t handle. Time and time again, Boss Players’ Ron McGraw and Mike Bridges stole the ball from Latko, leading to a 78-53 win. McGraw scored 29 for the winners, and Brian McCann scored 19 for the Printers. . Puke shines In the B league semifinals, Dog Puke downed Page ten . Kelley’s Pride 59-33. Puke, undefeated all year, was led by Todd Eaton with 26 points and Mike Groh with 15i The other B league winner was Law School, who made chaos out of Control, 62-39. Steve Hall’s inside work and Bob Graffs outside shots led the way for the Law School. The finals of the A league shape up as a rematch of last year’s finals. Randall, Jim .Slayton and Larry Wheeler of Lippes Loop all competed for the Heads last year in the finals, while the Boss Players’ Johnny Barr, James Rischer and Olin Mack are also repeaters in the championship game. In the B league, two contrasting styles will be pitted against each other. Dog Puke likes to run, and if they can run against Law School, they’ll be tough to stop. Law School, on the other hand, uses a patient offense, resembling the old New York Knicks in many ways. They work for open 15 foot shots, and usually make them. The B league championship will start at 8 p.m. on Wednesday night, and the A league game will follow. The Spectrum .

The Union has scheduled a mass meeting for 2 p.m. today in Diefendorf 147 to announce the voting results and choose a course of action. Meanwhile, memos from faculty in the Physics Department were circulated Wednesday to Teaching Assistants, asking them to let the respective faculty know “certainly before 10 a.m. tomorrow (Thursday] if you will be participating in the proposed GSEU strike.” First denying that he had ordered the memos circulated, then claiming that it was done at the direction of the Vice President for Academic Affairs, Chairman Michael Ram asserted that it had been done “purely for informational purposes,” and was not an implied threat, as Union members charge. The GSEU circulated a letter to physics graduate employees declaring that “No one may legally coerce or intimidate your constitutional right to express your views. People who do may be legally ... ... culpable of unfair labor practices.” views. People who do may be legally culpable fo runfair labor practices.” Vice President for Academic Affairs Robert Bunn and his assistant vice presidents were unavailable for comment, but the Association Provost of the Faculty of Arts and Letters, Murray Schwartz agreed that the administration had requested that provosts ascertain what actions were being taken to make sure all class responsibilities are met. He said it was something “Dr. Ketter is legally responsible to do” despite implied threats to teaching assistants’ jobs.

The quota is One Swedish millionaire is Canadian established by governmental agencies. Public awareness of the seals’ plight first occurred in 1964 when a Canadian film team accidentally came upon a killing and recorded it. Canada then set regulations for the method of killing and introduced quotas. Quotas have ranged from 150.000 in 1972 to a reduction to 127.000 by 1976. The herd size is only estimated at 800,000. The bulk of the seals are killed by Canadian and Norwegian ice breakers while the others are killed by “landsmen.” These landsmen were responsible for 70.000 deaths in 1975, exceeding their allotment by 40,000. They are natives of the islands who walk out on the ice or use small boats to club the seals. Their activities are very difficult to regulate.

Bad grades plaguing some student leaders The standard (SASU) collegiate joke about “majoring in student government” isn’t so funny anymore around at least two SUNY campuses. “They haven’t stopped me,” said former Geneseo student and Central Council Chairperson Steve Atlinger after finding himself bounced out of school for low a reflection of the grades tremendous amount of time he was called upon to put into student business but away from his studies. “I’ll get back in here by hook or by crook,” he added. Allinger flunked out. Geneseo college polices require students to finish incomplete grades by the fourth week of the following Ailinger’s semester. six-credit incomplete resulted in a failing 'E grade that'plunged his cumulative average below “the expected level of academic achievement.” The former student leader attributes his misfortune to the demands of his administration’s many projects, which included taking the college to court in order to secure a women’s health clinic and the formation of a student union. Allinger appealed to the administration for reinstatement but was told that “my main job was to get good grades.” He believes that his agressive and popular leadership left him “not with the widely popular administration.” — — Strictly academic College President Robert MacVittie demurred that political activism was a factor in Allinger’s appeal being denied. “Procedures are there and were followed. Steve was a good leader. His situation was strictly academic. I’ve never known a student leader who has done this.” But it does happen, and is becoming more common as student associations move away from their “good kids and clubs” and become origins multi-million-dollar corporations providing essential services in areas unheard of only five years ago.

However, next year, with the expected increase in the number of students requesting housing, those extra beds may be needed. It is unlikely that RAs will be expected to share their rooms with other students, says Gary Soener, Assistant Director of Housing, rather, a change in the factor determining the number of free beds will be requested from SUNY Central, since about 45 percent of all RAs are housed in double rooms with extra beds. Each RA fills out a “bed waiver” which excuses him/her from Resident Advisors (RA) having single occupancy in double rooms may be forced to share them with roommates as a result of a predicted increase in the number of students requesting housing arrangements next year. The increase, which will not only affect the number of students assigned to an RA, will also cause problems with the distribution of extra beds in the rooms of RAs assigned to doubles. SUNY Central officials determine the number of , “free” beds allotted to the housing staff by taking into account the ratio of the number of students compared to the housing RAs. The ratio at this University is one to four, or one “free” bed per every 25 payment, but only one bed waiver per RA is allowed. Esther Katzrhan, an Ellicott RA, offered an alternative solution to the problem, suggesting that Inter-Residence Council (IRC) offices and other rooms allotted to other student aides should be cut back in order to make room for the RAs. “Roommates would hinder our performance and reduce our pay.” Katzman, who says she has a floor of 35 students under her jurisdiction, says that the ratio of students to RAs is already out of proportion, and that it would be more difficult to handle a workload of 50 students or more. “It’s hard enough with 35 to become friendly and people all that ... with 50, it would be almost impossible to do.” Other RAs have expressed their concern ... over having a roommate who would have available access to duty keys,-etc. According Spaulding Quad Complex is not “totally available Soener, to of the Ellicott expected to be for next year’s use.” This, in conjunction with the fact that there are only four single rooms available in the Governors Residence halls (most RAs are housed in double rooms) will make things complicated for next year’s increase.

L -* �UUAB plans more summer activities In contrast to last year’s poor summer programming, there will be summer activities at the University this summer, according to Acting Division Director of University Union Activities Board (UUAB) Jim Brickwedde. Union Board is headed for a profitable year, he added. UUAB is in “much better shape” than it was last year, he claimed, referrring to the financial difficulties it experienced which left Union Board in the red by May. At that time the UUAB Music Committee was responsible for a $9000 debt, never earning its full anticipated income. The Music Committee was also left in the red. As a result, last summer’s program was kept to a minimum. Brickwedde stated there would be a “normal” program for this summer, including three major activities: coffeehouses, literary arts and films. Coffeehouse programs will be scheduled for both the Main and Amherst Campuses. Different programs Literary Arts programs will consist of lectures and poetry readings, while the film program will include two movies per week throughout the summer. Brickwedde explained that scheduling problems still exist. Due to the opening of the Amherst Campus for summer dorm use, and the subsequent closing of all Main Street dorms for alterations, Brickwedde said it will be very difficult to coordinate commuter students on one campus for activities. Chairman of the film committee, Robert Graham agreed that the UUAB summer program is currently in “better shape” than last year. He added “the money has already been set aside." and noted that the film committee has already been allocated S5262. Graham emphatically stated that the money will be carefully spent to avoid repeating past failures. r "You gotta have heart ..Believe it or not, these people are not Broadway's best, but, in fact.

I am a member of Schussmeister Ski Club. I paid $38 for six lessons and eight ski rentals at Holiday Valley in addition to the $40 membership fee. I used only one rental and my lessons had not begun when I unfortunately broke my leg on January 20. I tried to get a refund for the unused rentals and lessons with full understanding that ,the membership was indeed lost. I was told to contact the business manager, Bill Shuler, about a refund. A friend of mine spoke to him and Bill agreed to give me a refund if he could get it from Holiday Valley. We didn’t hear from Bill, so for several weeks we tried desperately to contact him. Messages were left, but he never returned the calls. Finally, in mid-:Februrary, Bill called me and informed me that Holiday Valley would not agree to a refund, but would transfer the rentals and lessons to another member of the ski club. I called Holiday Valley myself and I was told that there would be no problems in getting a refund. As of that time, they had not received payment from the ski club in that they were in the process of figuring out the bill. Therefore, the money was still in the ski club office. When I told Bill Shuler the information I received and asked when 1 would get my refund, he replied, “You’ll get your money when I feel like writing the check,” and immediately hung up the phone. In subsequent calls, Bill would not come to the phone and the office workers hung up on me. The following days, the club office workers would not give me any information nor would they let me speak to anyone about it. Within a few days, I received a nasty registered letter from Bill (costing $2.35 to mail) and it was the last I heard from him. I spoke to the ski club SA representative Mark Poppendeck and he, at least more diplomatic than Bill, informed me that other students have been refunded after an injjury and that I should submit a request to the Board of Directors. I did so, and after waiting two weeks for the board meeting and another week for the response, I received a letter on March 7th which consisted of three sentences and stated that they had a standard policy of no refunds. After one and one-half months, I was told what I should have been told on January 21 when the initial request was made. Instead, I was told by two different representatives that exceptions were made in the past and that it would be possible in this case. I’ve become accustomed to getting “screwed” by the offices and departments in this University, but I did not expect a student organization to be so bureaucratic. 1 do not know if Bill Suler or any of the other ski club officers are students but I do know that the club is not run for students. It is the same as any organization or office of the government. We cannot begin to criticze the government until we prove we can run our own activities properly. Political lies begin in student government and that’s where they have to be Guest Opinion The economic situation on the island has just recently opened up new incentives for the The initiative of President Ford to annex the imperialists interests.

But I'd like a to copy of the tape, though play at parties." Another company accepted the record and began pressing it until the little old ladies who staff the record pressing plant heard the album they were making, and refused outright to produce any more copies. Seven companies rejected the album before brave little Adelphi records, in the interests of preserving the grand tradition of American free speech, released it. (Then again, they could have been yet another by influenced could never executive opinion: "I but, if I did, come out with this million.") it'd sell a What hath provoked this wave of discontent? The reason this record was made was to offend as many people as possible. Patrick Sky is against love, motherhood, America, rock 'n liberation, life, roll, political liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and hiring the handicapped. Except for one time he hired an actor friend of his to dress as a his bring and hunchback instruments onstage, to be chased off by Sky's kicks and curses. Dave Van Ronk on Patrick Sky "Beneath that rough exterior there's a son-of-a-bitch." are - ... — : Gentle clang, harsh truth Patrick Sky started as a traditional folkie with a repertoire of 300 ballads ("most of them were awful"). He eventually branched into blues, banjo tunes, and writing his own songs. None of this is exceptional. His second Vanguard Records Album, A Harvest of Gentle Clang, is: one of the best city-folk albums ever made, in fact. Just before this, his initial Vanguard opus contained two folk standards, "Many A Mile," and "Separation Blues," as well as "Love Will Endure," as sad and lovely a love song as I've ever heard: And as for you, your heal tears will Just as time dears the fields Of the flowers that have ripened And, of all these things, you can be sure Only love will endure. for By the time of his two albums Verve (Photographs and Reality Is Bad Enough), some of Sky's writing was much closer to "legitimate" poetry than folksong lyrics. Wilfrid Owen, the World War I poet, or E.E. Cummings, could have written "Jimmy Clay:" So you died a soldier and a hero's death Congratulations, Jimmy Clay You can smoke your cigar and earn your pay And somewhere in the distance You can hear the fiddle play But not one note will change, Jimmy Clay. engaged in a personal hunt for his hide.

Get yourself a lawyer never filled Vanguard thousands of orders for his records. Verve wasn't sure what to do with an ostensible folkie who was writing songs that were closer to Brecht than Bob Dylan. Managers euchered him out of thousands of dollars. None of this is exceptional, either, in the music world. Sky always had a jaundiced sense of humor. As far back as Harvest he took on charities; "Give to the cause/'Cause I am broke." He had a following in folk circles, he was influential in he record company ones people contracts for manuevered he felt had talent, like the British folk trio The Young Tradition and Paul singer/songwriter blues was bitter from Geremia. But he the knowledge of what he could have been. When Rolling Stone ironically, interviewed him Muhammad AM was on the cover almost the first thing that issue Sky said was "The first thing to do in this business \sget yourselft a lawyer.

"Yonkers Girl" sounds like a synopsis of the last five like minutes of "Taxi Driver" two-thirds of most American ballads. The high point, for me, is NYC deejay Alex Bennet's interview with old blues singer Blind Funk Earwax ("who we just discovered our studio pushing outside pencils"): "Leadbelly, Robert Johnson, I taught all those blues." His 78 hit was guys the Molesting "Baby, Blues" "Child baby fast is where baby, baby . . it's at."

The crowd generates such energetic excitement that I can hear only the static of anticipation within Shea's Buffalo Theater. James Cotton steps onto the stage with a shadowed backup band to embark harmonic on some kick-ass majestic hall boogie, and the Long "How shakes with the blues. Can a Fool Go Wrong" is joined in progress by a lean white figure wearing a cowboy hat and bearing a guitar. Johnny Winter plugs in and lets loose with some of his long, piercing blues riffs, admist a surge of joy from the audience. A pungent marijuana clould rises heavily into the air as Cotton launches "Rocket 88," lamenting his blues with voice and harp on the way The spotlight now shifts to Winter, on the opposite end of the stage, for a slow blues number. His guitar rants and raves with long, stinging cries, complemented by the emotional bangigs of Joe "Pinetop" Perkings on piano. Cotton plays harmonica like it's an extension of his vocal chords, while Winter sneaks back up from behind with some raunchy slide guitar playing. The guitarist cranks out a hard-paced' "Walkin' by Myself" before yielding the spotlight back to Cotton. "Creeper Creeps Again" is pure Cotton, driven forward by the pulsating applause of the audience as he demonstrates in detail what he can do with a harmonica. In front of a boogie background. Winter introduces the members of Bob Margolin on the band guitar, Joe "Pinetop" Perkins, playing piano, Willie Smith on drums, (all from Muddy Waters' band,) and Charles Calmese on bass, from the James Cotton Blues Band.

The Last Tycoon is no exception. I will admit it is unfair to judge such movies in terms of the original; they sould be judged purely on their own merits. However, when I find a mediocre film being-derived from an excellent book, it is very tempting to try to decide where the transition went awry. Giving in to temptation, and admitting that 1 am being totally unfair, I will attempt to do this. The novel The Last Tycoon was left unfinished by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The one-hundred-fifty pages which had been completed by the time of his death in 1940 constituted about one half of what the final product was to have been. It is the story of Monroe Stahr, a thirty-five year old producer, a former "Boy Wonder" who has risen to a powerful position in his movie company. This character was drawn directly from its real life counterpart, Irving Thalberg of MGM. enjoy Off-center The movie centers its attention upon the swift and abortive love affair between Stahr and a Hollywood outsider, Kathleen Moore. It is upon this point that screenplay writer Harold Pinter diverges from the original. This incident occupies about one third of the novel. Within the context of what Fitzgerald had written, and in terms of his intentions for the remainder of the book as revealed by his notes, this romance apparently does not play a central role. Rather it is written as one more piece to fit into the mosaic of Stahr's character and life in Hollywood. In the Pinter version, as expressed by director Elia Kazan, this relationship becomes an end in itself. Pinter further alters the novel by throwing a touch of Tender Is the Night's Dick Diver into Stahr. The film has Stahr's love leading him down a path of degeneration. Stahr doesn't pay full attention to his work, he is no longer in command of all situations and finally goes on an unprecedented drinking spree, insults a Writer's Union representative and gets sent on an open ended vacation by the other movie company executives. Altered to misfit This is pure fabrication on Mr. Pinter's part. The way Fitzgerald wrote it, Stahr is affected by his short-circuited love but he didn’t go downhill. He does get uncharacteristically drunk once, but in the presence of an unimportant Communist who Stahr had arranged to see for his own amusement. Stahr doesn't get shipped out, he stays around for a corporate battle with a company rival. This last part was never written, but it is the way Fitzgerald planned to complete the story. The simple act of alteration is not what I’m faulting. The difficulty is that the love affair alone is not strong enough to bear the plot burden of the movie. In fact, this is the principle defect of the written version. Only the novel, however, can be excused from this shortcoming. It probably was a foolish idea to try to film The Last Tycoon. Not only is there not a complete story to work with, but there are few sets which can do justice to Fitzgerald's settings and few actors who can portray his finely drawn teharacterizations. It would be difficult, even for Robert DiNiro to play Stahr who had flown up :very high to see, on strong wings, when he was young. And while he was up there he had looked on all the kingdoms, with the kind eyes that can stare straight into the sun. Beating and finally frantically his wings tenaciously keeping on beating them, he had stayed up there longer than most of us, and then, remembering all he had seen from his great height of how things were, he had settled gradually to earth." DiNiro, Robert Mitchum, Ray Milland and the rest of the cast give competant, though restrained performances. Unfortunately, the material and the spirit of Fitzgerald are in short supply. .. — — * The Ramones leave home and come to Buff State College by Dimitri Papadoooulos Contributing Editor One week will mark the explosion of a rock and roll insurrection involving a dynamic billing of New York City engimas. The Ramones and the Dictators. Yes, after much critical appraisal around the country, this vehicle of punk rock has finally made the journey to Buffalo. The March 25 spectacular at Buffalo State College will not only brainwash many ripe spirits as it transcends many of rock and roll's 70's norms, but will also give this fair Queen City a desperately needed and energy riddled shakedown. The Ramones are an American fabrication, with the affinity to transmit waves of hysteria as did Mark Lindsay ala Paul Revere and the Raiders in the days of yore. Their names are Tommy, Joey, Dee Dee; and and Johnny; no last name, only the fictitious gang-like surname just town a so Ramones power.

So marks the official inception of this New York phenomenon. Not to slight Television which is a fantastic poetic conception, Harvey and Corky received the group on an economical rebound. Nowhere in the transaction was there any evidence of sensitivity or concern shown for this new musical force that had been generating in the SoHo District of N.V.C. (Let us now praise the famous men and women that first dared the subway ride to C.B.G.B.'s.) In short, the concert was not carried out in a manner of body and soul that ideally suited their art. Originally, it was the intent of Buff State's Union Board to book Television. The reputation of Moot Hall has always been that of a great spot a concert, both in terms of sound quality and comfort. It will not steralize the atmosphere as would the Century. There will also be drink for all you alchos. So, let's do it right. New York rock is in an expansive state. If you haven't heard the music, I urge you to explore by attending this concert. It'll be more than a Blitzkrieg Bop, it'll be a fucking rock and roll revival.

Needless to say, the public was ecstatic, especially those who were heavily into the British scene. Here was Robert Fripp, the wizard guitarist and creative force behind King Crimson, who disbanded Crimson in 1974 in anticipation of what he foresaw as "a decade of considerable panic in the 1990's collapse on a colossal scale the complete breakdown of social, politicial and economic order." Since then had been working on creating "a new stands out the most, as all other guitar soloing is kind of guitar technique that works on three levels: divided between the competency of Steve Hunter heart, hands, and head," to aid the hopelessly and Dick Wagner, both also ex-Alice Cooper/Lou inadequate rock musician, who is "rooted to the Reed back-up men. earth." Add to this one Mr. Gabriel who, since the The amazing thing about the Gabriel album is split with Genesis had been absorbing everything not so much its inconceivable mixture of styles, but from piano lessons to attempts at levitation and rather the notion that Gabriel has never incorporated telepathy, as well as expressing an interest in the the majority of these influences in his music before. 1990’s as a time of global conflict.

Friday, 18 March 1977 Prodigal Sun �RECORDS $IssL Ull ATEST HITS I • . Phil Specter's Greatest Hits (Warner/Spector) Everybody's got to get into the act. A couple of years ago, Capitol Records decided to repackage and rerelease a bunch of old Beach Boys tapes which had been gathering dust in their vaults (or wherever one keeps old tapes). The result: a number one bestselling album and a nostalgia boom among a generation which probably was still in diapers when those songs first made the charts. Capitol soon duplicated its success with a Beatles greatest hits package (they haven't tried the Kingston Trio yet), paving the way for similar releases by other record companies. The main problem with the early sixties was that, with the possible exception of the Beach Boys, no one singer or group really dominated that musical era. But there was one person whose influence did permeate that period of time: Phil Spector. Phil Spector's Greatest Hits is seemingly more justified as a representative sampling of the early sixties music than any of the other three titles mentioned previously, which were primarily money-making efforts. The idea of having production, rather than group identity, as the unifying variable is intriguing, to say the least. Production has always been a nebulous term, encompassing parts of engineering along with assisting in the arrangement and performance of the song itself. This allows for a great variety of music without any loss of consistency or continuity, for the production is always holding it together. The previously mentioned facelessness of the era indicates another justification for the album. As Ken Barnes writes in the liner notes: "When people talk about 'He's A Rebel,' or 'Be My Baby,' 'Then He Kissed Me,' and 'Walking in the Rain,' very often they can't remember whether the Ronesttes or the Crystals recorded them, or the name of the group slips their minds entirely." Thus, the many different artists present supply a much greater impact than, say, a Righteous Brothers or Crystals greatest hits collection. Initially, the listener will most likely be attracted to side one of this two album set, mainly because it contains most of the Spector classics, such as "Be My Baby," "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" and "Baby I Love You." These cuts demonstrate the techniques that made Spector famous: the impenetrable "wall of sound," the liberal use of echo chambers and, on occasion, the lush orchestral arrangements. "Baby I Love You" is a good example; with its dense background almost eclipsing the lead vocals, it is as overdone and bombastic as any Wagnerian opera. Yet, while Wagner is almost definitely an acquired taste, "Baby I Love You" is immediately likeable because so much is packed into a song less than three minutes in length. An essential part of the Spector sound is the homogeneity of the instrumental background; very rarely is an individual guitar or piano solo heard on the album. The only exception to this is the drumming, which is allowed even more freedom than the vocals. The drums keep a steady, heavy beat throughout the song, but break from this beat between verses, between lines at almost every chance they get. It s an interesting technique, one that more contemporary producers and arrangers should employ. the Phi! Specter's Greatest Hits offers an excellent cross-section of doubtlessly work of a great producer, even though every listener will find a few of his/her favorites missing. Also, noticeably absent are examples of Specter's later and present efforts (the most recent song on this album was recorded in 1969), but it is unlikely that Capitol and other record companies would allow any of their material (i.e. s own something from AH Things Must Pass) to appear on Spector attention, label. It is the older recordings, however, that merit the most a good and this greatest hits collection allows the record buying public opportunity to re-examine them, as well as a small slice of the early -Eugene Zielinski ' sixties in general. ... r^tTuAB^HLJJTpRKENTSr™^ 5 NORTON CONFERENCE THEATER j S S INTERNATIONAL FILM WEEK March 17-23 i Fri.

Page thirteen i A �RECORDS Kenny Rankin, The Kenny Rankin Album (Little David) Occasionally an artist appears who manages to keep out of the $1.99 rack with only a regional or college following. Aztec Two-Step is a good example of this phenomenon. Originating from Connecticut, the duo has built a substantial club and college audience with FM hits like "Dean Moriarty (On The Road)," and "Cosmos Lady." Their clear acoustic guitar work and well-matched harmonies have given them wide appeal among students. Kenny Rankin was also once of this suit. His covers of Beatle songs were widely recognized, as was his several-octave voice range. He had a bluesy, jazz-tinged delivery, and was also an accomplished scat-singer. But now all this has changed. Don Costa has been brought in to arrange and conduct, and the result is something which might be suitable for playing in a dentist's office. Rankin's voice is as good as ever; that is, if you can hear it through a dense collection of strings and basses. On "Silver Morining," Rankin's voice soared above all instruments. On this, Rankin is content to have it hover arpund his mid-range, and leaves the highs and lows to the orchestra. As this album is not supposed to be an "easy listening" choice, the result is quite unstimulating. Almost all of Rankin's own contributions are drowned in a flood, no, torrent of muzak. As for the covers, well, they're the kind where you get annoyed that someone couldn't leave a perfectly good song alone. For example, how long has it been since you last heard ''Groovin'" by the Young Rascals? Years, right? Then you see it on this album. Wow, excellent flip it right onto that Dual 1249, throw the cue, and What IS this? Where's that great harp accent to Felix Caviliere's sweet white sould vocals? This is mush. Joe Cocker's recording of "You Are So Beautiful" worked because of its raw emotional delivery. All potential power in this one again is stifled by that somnambulic string section. You problably don't want to know what Rankin did with "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." The only cut that does use the strings, instead of vice versa, is Rankin's own "Through the Eye of the Eagle." If the rest of the album had been in Rankin's usual style, it would have been a great closing track. It is the last cut here, but it loses its essence among the other numbers. According to the liner notes, Rankin has been wanted to record with Costa for fifteen years. I'm glad he waited this long he never would have gotten even the parochial recognition he has now. And hopefully, he has gotten Costa out of his system. If this were the start of a trend, it would be very disappointing. The market he worked so hard to capture would be lost quite quickly. -Barbara Komansky *- - - Miles Davis, Water Babies (Columbia) Opening Water Babies, a Shorter composition, yet still taller than some in form. Eloquence is in order; various traces of "Filles de Kilimanjaro" can be heard fading in and out. Miles' sound has touches of overwhelming tonalized control tone, in that the line of communication is never broken. Tony Williams cymbals act as Mr. Davis' shadow throughout. Shorter's use of paraphernalia, with "Miyako" quality was "Speaking No Evil," a folklore impression. Wayne's octave fantasies still have that pulsation of ambiguity which only he can explore. Hancock's solo is halfway between Hector Villa Lobo's neoclassical and Debussy (chromatic impression) "Capricron" swing on a Ronald Carter tide. Glissando interaction, Davis in action, Tony rerooting horizontal speech; just ask Miles. Throbbing incandescence tunes up Wayne's internal spirit until he enlightens his cosmic travel. Hancock, again just in the swing of things. On "Sweet Pea," Wayne Shorter's intro can only be attributable to magic supreme control. Davis marches to the foreground, just ask Tony Williams. Neo-"Sketches of Spain" departing from Davis, Wayne follows, interweaving a fanfare of Soledad-loneliness. The soul of the Flamencan music was characterized by Ronald Carter's bass pointing the way. Saete "the arrow of song" in Flamencan music. "Two Faced," chemical element, Wayne's "ESP." High elastic-colorized rock/jazz element, that of a rhumba, "NEW Rhumba." Williams' outdoor symbolism cymbal is very good. (Outdoor in that there is closeness but also airy openness.) Williams has craftmanship and imagination, like that of Elvin Jones in that it's hard to play cymbals well. Wayne's alto colorized tenor is thick yet cross-graphical summation, superimposed fascination with vocalization. The harmony is numerically impressive. "Two Faced" is sarcastic, although a Jetson commentary, visualized artistically very well. The melody is narrative in scope. "Dual Mr. Tillman Anthony" is by W. Process, with all other composition done by Shorter. A carnival side show piece. Humor is the by-product here again, the blues of the midway. William's is again typing out pulsations of geometrical mova outbursts, acting the strong man on the animated midway show, "a shorterdavis" prqduction. Electric piano are changed to a solid i.e. physics. Luminosity form, Wayne gets his laughter going immediately: highly magnified blued choral speaking. The electric piano's analogy is one of sometimes "text" playing, other times "verse" hymn. Davis and Shorter are babies that love to play in sonic water.

' To the Editor. This letter is directed to the article entitled Blue Bird Wheels. The IRC Bussing Committee, that the Staff Writer reviewed, was held on Thursday, 2/24. This meeting, which I participated in, lasted for approximately four hours. I, as did the other three, committee members, came prepared with questions directed specifically to Mr. Frieday. In my opinion the private time put into this meeting entitled us to be mentioned by name if not quoting our more important suggestions. Just saying, “The bussing committee comprised wholly of four bus-riding members” isn’t enough. It would have been proper, instead of quoting two Juniors and One Sophomore (who were never once mentioned in our meeting) to quote one of us at the meeting. Why did you ask us to properly spell our names if you weren’t intending to use them in your article? I realize I’m not all-knowledgeable in the ways of journalism, but 1 feel an injustice has been - — A student in the Legal Aid Clinic told me Wednesday afternoon that yes, indeed, the petition to hold a referendum in order to create a student government for course credit is a legal document. I’m not surprised as I consulted with a couple of lawyers about that very aspect before the petition was even circulated. The next hurdle is validating the signatures. A few of the signatures won’t be valid because the student put their ID number or telephone number instead of their social security number on the sheet and the petitioner didn’t notice. And one of the sheets had on the bottom of the left column the signatures John Dean and John Erlichman. Their signatures are invalid because they aren’t students here. So the question I have that nobody seems able to answer is how many signatures amounts to 10% of the undergraduates. How many undergrads are actually registered. Elections and Credentials doesn’t know. The E & C Chairperson Gloria Gurber doesn’t know. She called the Bursar’s office in front of me and they couldn’t or wouldn’t say. Fact is, more than 2,000 students signed the document already and this is the first time in more than 7 years at this University, once a hot bed of the revolution, that students have signed a petition that was not provided or approved by their SA government i But we\handed in less than 2000 signatures (12(1250 . .more coming) because during the SA electi n campaign, full signed sheets disappeared from the Record Co-op and a student who shall go unnamed took it upon himself to clean out the closed desk drawers in the upstairs offices of Tolstoy College on Winspear and destroyed 550 signatures . (11 signed sheets). J guess the justification for that was a sign on the wall that said ‘keep the place clean.’ In the meantime, your constitution states a referendum shall be held within 3 weeks from when the petitions are handed over to the president of SA. The idea behind the 3-week limitation is one week to evaluate two weeks to prepare. The petitions were given to former president Schwartz on Friday, March 11 in order to stay within the 3-week frame, and hold this referendum at a fair and equitable time, March 28, 29, 30, Mon., Tues., Wed. of the last week of school seems fair to . committed. ' addition In to stating major bussing problems and official statistics (which is O.K.) you deleted an important part of the meeting. All the readers think the committee meets, gripes and then leaves. This isn’t the case. We proposed solutions (and you yourself gave some good suggestions) to almost every problem brought up. A major solution was Student-Driver Courtesy. It goes as follows: a) To relieve overcrowding, if possible, take a bus earlier than 15 minutes before the class begins, b) When entering the bus try to move all the way back. This way when the driver sees a full bus, he/she can take off sooner, c) If a student is going to O’Brian from Governors, to relieve overcrowding, please take the 6 (Ridge Lea) so the 2 and 2G can take a full load to Main Street instead of half the bus emptying out at O’Brian. I would just like to point out, this may seem like a personal gripe to the writer, but it isn’t. It is a general plea for just recognition in Spectrum articles. I don’t wish to make enemies of The Spectrum or their writers. I have written this letter on my own (speaking for myself),>but I am sure the other three committee members share my sentiments. Thank you for covering the meeting, and writing it up. I hope this matter won’t happen agajn. — Name Withheld \ To the Editor. unfair Housing’s proposed limit on the size of refrigerators is absurd. As far as conserving energy is concerned, one large refrigerator serving many students consumes less energy than many small ones. They should be made aware that students use refrigerators this way. If housing were really concerned about conserving energy, why are so many lights kept on all night on campus? Ellicott is a prime example of this unnecessary energy consumption. If housing is concerned about the size of refrigerators and the difficulty in moving them, then they would have to ban all objects larger than a breadbox, just to be consistent. There is no clear reason for this limit. A large refrigerator is often less dangerous than a stereo or a lamp. Are they going to take those away from us as well? We should not allow housing to further infringe upon our rights. After all, WE pay them to allow us to live in our rooms as we please. Dan Gustafson Books taken unfairly To the Editor. As a UB student living on a tight budget, 1 take every opportunity to lower my overall cost of higher education. In following this principle, I decided to take advantage of the School Book Exchange. Believing this exchange to be a fair representation of the school, I took it in good faith to leave fifty-one dollars worth of valuable books in their hands for resale. I was told that the books were to be sold at my given price or returned to me if unsold. The receipts I received in lieu of these books had no deadline indicated for the money and/or unsold books to be reclaimed. When I returned for my unsold books on Monday 2/14/77 (after the blizzard), I was told that these books were no longer mine because I missed the deadline. It seems that the Book Exchange’s deadline was the previous Friday and my books were now in the possession of the Browsing Library. Upon inquiring at the Browsing Library, I was told that no excuse would be accepted for my missing the deadline. 1 believe that since no date was indicated on the receipt, I was justifiably correct in demanding the return of my books. Is this anyway to run a program to benefit the student? Heidi M. Nees Upon Request - us. However, you might want to delay and claim that we are short signatures or say three weeks from the day the last of the petition sheets are handed in, or whatever. In any case, the will of your constitutents is to vote on the issue and the students are legally entitled to that opportunity. My own “deep throat” in Norton Union tells me it is the old S.A. executive now out of office that schemes to disqualify the whole thing because 1 was the guy who walked into Schwartz’s office and gave over the sheets instead of a registered student. I would like to point out that my name does not appear on that document. I am only its author, and the fact that I am not a registered student this semester is not relevant. It is to you new people, who haven’t even moved into the offices yet, that I address this. What I would like to do, is meet with you, in closed or open executive session, in order to answer all of your questions so that you, in the spirit of the thousands that have signed this document, can save everybody trouble and struggle and vote to have the referendum. Many students have asked me when, so they can make posters for their quads, dorms, classes and buildings. What you don’t realize is that this is a movement of the people here. I am only their spokesman in the forefront. The symbol of your organization looked at sideways or upside down or even rightside up is a bunch of lines running in all directions at cross purposes. The structural analysis that I am preparing for this whole University based on this petition will be printed, I imagine, by The Spectrum and the Reporter both. Let’s get together.

For the Dents, it was both their second consecutive undefeated' season and intramural Jhird championship. Ambis, who played varisty hockey at Cornell, scored all three goals for the Denta. In addition, he prevented the Bunnies from mounting a comeback in the final period as he got several breakaways or semi-breakaways to keep the Bunnies occupied defensively. “We had a little something special for them,” Ambis said of the Dents strategy. “Usually, the other team keys on me or Bruce (Schwartz), so 1 was shuffled between center and defense. We’ve been hurt in the past when they’ve double-teamed our center.” who drilled the puck past the Dents’ goalie Jerry Wieczkowski. But the tie didn’t last long. Ambis received a pass at center ice and skated around defenseman Scott Pellet, in on Bunnies’ goalie Larry Amoros, and slipped the puck between Amoros’ lees; Ambis got the Cents’ final goal barely one minute into the third period, again on a semi-breakaway. This slapshot from ten feet out hit Amoros’ right skate and caromed into the net. The Dents’ star also gave credit to the team’s gaolie Wieczkowski, who stopped 14 shots. “In the first few minutes, their big guy in green (Dave Todd) had a breakaway and Jerry stopped him cold,” Ambis said. “That really got us psyched up.” Bunnies’ goalie Amoros also kept his team in the game, as he stopped 18 shots, including several breakaways. In the “B” League playoffs, Pharmacy defeated Flying Porpoises 2-0 in a semi-final game. In the Successful strategy Apparently that strategy worked. About four and a half minutes into the game, Ambis found himself alone with the puck in the Bunnies’ zone. He skated in and fired’ into the right corner of the net for the first goal of the game. The Bunnies tied the game early in the second period when Pete Vlad fed teammate Dave Wertz, other semi-final, Jawortniks Mark Boch scored with just nine seconds left in overtime to defeat Bertie Bay 2-1. In the “B” League Championships, the Jawortniks held on to defeat Pharmacy 4-3.

Actually it was a good year for Pellom, but when compared to his sophomore year, in which Pellom led the nation in rebounding, led the Bulls in scoring and shot 50 percent from the floor, it didn’t look like such a good year.

He had been a forward in high school, and was familiar with the position, although rusty. “It was kind of hard to adjust at first,” Sam said. “I had to work on my outside shots and my moves, but after a few games I liked it.” With an increased number of outside shots, Pellom’s shooting percent dropped slightly this year, as did his scoring average, but he still finished with 13.6 points per game, second on the team. Another of Pellom’s goals was to have a winning season, but the Bulls final record was 5-21. “Most of the problem was us,” he said. “We knew what each individual could do. We were depending on certain people to do certain things. We should have been doing things as a team. “Playing all those tough teams at the start of the schedule corrupts your confidence,” he continued. “If you play some easy teams at the start of the season, it sets your confidence.” Buffalo started the year 1-2 and then ran into national powerhouses like Holy Cross, Clemson, Georgia and Detroit. Buffalo could come no closer than 29 points against any of those teams. Pellom remembers the game at Holy Cross because he felt he played well and the crowd gave him a nice hand when he fouled out. But Pellom remembers best the game against another national power, Syracuse, because Buffalo three at halftime. by led “Everybody was up for them,” he said. “We went out and showed Natural' 4 to do. But I wouldn’t mind remaining captain.” As he looks ahead to next year, Pellom realizes that winning isn’t going to come any easier, since five seniors will be gone. “It’s going to be just that much more work for all of us. And the rebounding is going to be left almost entirely up to me.” Pellom already has set his sights for next year. For example, he is hoping for a winning season. He wants to become Buffalo’s all-time leading rebounder, and he needs less than 200 rebounds to do that, if he keeps going at the pace he has set the past three years, only an injury could stop him. He would also like to move up on the list of Buffalo’s all-time top scorers. “If I make second or third, that would be suitable enough for me,” Pellom said. He needs 39 points to move into third and 261 points to move into second. First place, however, is definitely out of reach. He would have to average 31 points per game, which isn’t impossible, but Big Sam has never scored more than 28 in a college game yet.

Page seventeen �Institution to review the art Rugby Club offers an of non-violent peacemaking alternative to football by Bill O'Brian Special to The Spectrum Today there are five major military academies in the United States which instruct human beings in the art of war. The National Peace Academy Campaign (N—PAC) is attempting to gain support for the establishment of one national level educational institution which will instruct people in peacemaking by non-violent methods. In 1975 Senators Mark Hatfield (R., Ore.) and Jennings Randolph (D., W.Va.) introducted a bill calling for such an academy before the U.S. Senate. Former Representative Andrew Young of Georgia, now the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, placed a similar bill before the House this past January. Hearings before a Senate subcommittee are currently underway to decide the feasibility of forming a one-year peace academy student commission. Sen. Clairborne Pell (D., R.I.), Committee Chairman, is confident the commission will be approved. N—PAC staff member Gary Barcza expects work from Washington concerning the funding and location of the study commission, not the academy itself, by June. Non-violent resolution The idea of creating a peace academy to balance West Point, Annapolis and the Air Force, Coast Guard and Merchant Marine academies is not new. Such famous Americans as George Washington, Benjamin Rush, Martin Luther King and recent presidents Franklin Roosevelt, Dwight Tiisenhower and John Kennedy have indicated the need for the institutionalized study of peace. In all there have been 140 pieces of legislation advocating peace study submitted to Congress since 1935, according to N—PAC national coordinator William Spencer. None of these prior bills have reached the hearing stage. N—PAC is a non-partisan, non-profit group campaigning in many areas of the country for the George Washington Peace Academy, a graduate school to train students, approximately 500 men and women, in the non-violent resolution of local, national an;international conflicts, according to Spencer. Fed up Young and Bryant Wedge are co-chairpersons of N—PAC’s steering and advisory committee. Wedge, a 54-year-old psychiatrist from Alexandria, Va. who has served as a peace mediator in the Arab-Israeli and Northern Ireland conflict situations, said, “1 am fed up with the way the world works.” Wedge believes a significant number of American people are willing to use non-violent change, but sees the lack of a working base as detrimental to peaceful mediation. “The process of non-violent conflict solution is known, but there is no institution,” he said the major reason • Wedge believes fjor unsuccessful legislation in the past is' ‘‘there is no money in peace. Lockheed doesn’t get paid for making peace, they get paid for making weapons. Nobody gets paid for peace.” Wedge said one of the economically practical effects of the academy’s establishment would be “a great cost-reduction in terms of dotnestic police protection.” When conflicts arise, graduates of the academy could intervene without weapons using non-violent methods, thus averting the need for military troops and avoiding the possibilty of future Atticas, Kent States and Wounded Knees, according to Wedge. Practical application Wedge noted there are four hundred thousand designated federal arbitrators across the country today, mostly lawyers with one week of training in non-violent tactics. He is skeptical of their training and ability to solve conflicts. Neil Katz, a steering comipittee member and director of the Non-Violent Conflict and Change program at Syracuse University, said on a day-to-day basis the widespread education of non-violence in struggles can lead to citizen policing of neighborhoods. Similar local level programs involving neither weapons nor physical force have been enacted by the people of West Philadelphia and in parts of Georgia. These programs have cut police costs in half, according to Katz! On the international level, non-Violence resistance like that used by the Czechoslovakians during the Russian invasion of 1968 could be employed to avoid war. It would cost money to train people, Katz said, but the military hardware cost would be nil. Wedge was careful to distinguish between his (and N—PAC’s) concept of peace and the waiting-for-the-next-war-peace which has dominated non-war times in the U.S. “That’s not it, what we’re looking for is a just peace, justice,” he said. Congress has to answer several specific questions regarding the exact purpose, size, location,.cost and relationship with the federal government of the proposed academy. A major concern of supporters of a socially-just peace is that, once established, the peace academy not be co-opted by agencies like the CIA. The campaign is looking for input from local peace groups. Anyone interested in finding out more should write N-PAC, 1629 K St., Washington, D.C. 20006 or the Senate Subcommittee, c/o Sen. Pell, Senate Office Building, Washington 20510. The peace academy is apparently a well-organized offshoot of the peace movement of the ’60s, “We’re not trying to knock down the Pentagon,” Wedge said. “The Pentagon will wither away when there are better alternatives.” Jew!

Friday, 18 March 1977 (212)735-0200 by Harvey Shapiro Spectrum Staff Writer You think football is tough? How about hockey? Well, the rugby club, playing possibly the toughest sport played on campus, opens their season Saturday, when it meets Brockport and Oswego. Rugby is one of the toughest and roughest sports around. Although it resembles football in some ways, and soccer in others, rugby is a game all its own. For those who believe that football is one of the toughest sports, take this into account: rugby is composed of 15 players who are on the field constantly. There are no substitutions. If there is an injury, then the injured man plays hurt or the team plays one man short. If you think hockey is tough because of the hitting, take this into account; rugby has just as much hitting and no equipment is allowed. According to coach Jack Karsney, “No protective equipment is allowed at all, and that includes padding or helmets. The only equipment allowed is a mouthpiece to keep one’s teeth in.” True rugby The rules of the game also make it tough. “There are two 40 minute halves,” said Karsney, “and it is non-stop. There are no such 1 things as timeouts in Union rugby.” Karsney thinks professional rugby is not true rugby. “It is a bastardized version,” he emphasized. “Perhaps you have seen it on TV, well Union rugby is different. Professional rugby contains some elements of American football. Union does not.” Rugby scoring is different from American football. For example, in American football a touchdown is scored when the ball crosses the goal line. In rugby, the points are not counted until the ball is touched down. There is also no rule to stop the other team from picking a player up and throwing him back before he can tough the ball down. A team receives four points for a touchdown and a try for an extra two by placekicking or punting the ball through the crossbars. Penalty kicks count for three points and are successful in the same manner as extra points. No forward passing However, scoring is not very easy. The rules on advancing the ball severely limit how a team can score. The ball can oply be passed laterally or backwards. A forward pass results in a penalty. Last fall was the rugby club’s first semester of existence and they finished with a 1-2 record. This semester there are eight games scheduled. “But more’importantly,” said Karsney, “we are members of the Upstate Rugby Union. The Union is comprised of all the New York collegiate teams from here to Albany. Being part of the Union means we are eligible to compete in the Upstate tourney on April 30th.” Another dimension of rugby is the fact that there are two games played, an “A” game and a “B” game. The rugby club still needs players. If you are interested in playing, contact Karsney at 831-3800, or come down to the practices. Bad grades —continued from page 2— . • • Vice President Robert .“I think the prevailing view of Coon said that a student must the faculty,” siad Geneseo Dean have at least a 2.0 average the of Students Salters, “is that being Affairs semester to prior declaring academic bankruptcy and would not comment upon why O’Meal was denied this recourse. O’Meal said that another Fredonia student heavily involved with last spring’s campus actions against budget cuts and local policies “received a letter that said they [the administration] felt he would be better off somewhere else.” “I have not seen such a letter,” College President Dallas Beal said, noting that the student “was here, he was omnipresent during a time of difficulty, and then he disappeared.” Another Geneseo student who was instrumental in the formation of the controversial Free Student Union there is no longer a student, much to his surprise in January. Student leaders take very the possiblity that seriously administrators campus take advantage of their academic vulberability. Suggestions have been made to introduce course credit for student government work, but little progress has been made toward realizing this. in student government does not warrant credit. Credit should be earned in a directed study by a professor with perhaps a paper to write on the subject.” Potsdam student government president John Duggan said that attempts at reform here have not been very successful. “We tried to get a year-to-year vehicle to receive credit, but the Political Science Department opposed it. Several students are getting credit for their student government work, but that is because of friendly professors and not the administration.” Geneseo College President MacVittie and his staff apparently have the last word at the present time in the subject of academic mercy for student administrators who are people often putting more time at their desks than do many college administrators. “I don’t think the credit question is fair. I know it takes a lot of time,” said MacVittie. Administrator Salters concluded that it “would be very difficult to approve. Not that student government activities are not important, but they do not warrant credit.” - �CLASSIFIED OWN ROOM in house near dampus, 65 nice place. 834-3961. +, OWN ROOM in 3-bedroom flat. 3 blocks to U.B. $42 Male grad pref. 835-9658. +.

With the fall of 1976 came two new supervising editors, Jack Bayerl and Yoly Mullen, and Ethos once again underwent a transformation. philosophical According to Haynie, “Jack and Yoly wanted Ethos to be experimental.

They had other plans. It soon became apparent that they had tossed everyone out but Mayo and Joe Ftancavilla, a regular Ethos columnist. No clear explanation was given for the move, and when pressed for reasons by a former contributor, Bayerl reportedly Countered by demanding his credentials. %. in those days was the exclusive and politically radical voice on campus.

The first begins May 31 and continues until July 15 and the third session begins July and ends September 1. The change, according to Director of Summer Sessions James H. Blackhurst, was made to conform with the extended public school calendar resulting from the additional weather closings during the winter.

The five member commission, appointed by Governor Hugh Carey last summer to study the future of post-secondary higher education in New York, delivered the following major (SASU) — recommendations: A new statewide university system should be — organized to include SUNY’s four university centers. Upstate and Downstate Medical Centers, and CUNY’s City College and the CUNY graduate center. Another system, possibly to be cabled Empire State University, should be developed and include SUNY and CUNY’s four and two year colleges. This system could be divided into Metropolitan, Northeastern and Western regions, each ruled by a Governor appointed board of trustees. The Commission recommended changing the method of selecting state education Regents to include gubernatorial appointment, a citizen’s screening committee and then senatorial confirmation. Seven Regents should be designated Higher Education Regents and be entirely responsible to that area. Presently, the Regents are charged with overseeing the state’s overall education — — system but there is great debate over what their responsibilities actually include. Private schools benefited The Commission recommended a $10 million increase over Carey’s proposals for the City University’s senior colleges. The state’s Bundy Aid to private colleges should be maintained at present levels, according to the preliminary report. The maximum award for lower division students would be raised to $1700, costing the state $7 million. This increase would benefit only private college students- since TAP aid cannot exceed tuition. The Commission move was scored by critics as designed to shift aid away from public college students directly, and at great cost, toward private students. Other recommendations include accepting the federal government’s definition of “financial emancipation” and divesting the State Education Department of all functions other than those directly related to education. Student reaction to the report, which will be presented in its final form to the approval of the Governor and the Senate later this month, is strongly critical. Student Association of the State University (SASU) Legislative Director Joel Packer said that itfc effect would be two universities one elite and the other inferior in quality and probably in funding. SUNY and CUNY student leaders are planning a series of actions this month culminating in a demonstration at the Capitol March 15 in support of public education and particularly the Tuition Assistance Program. — ■ Ricky Yaverbaum £ W tLtnos m / Art Lalonde —continued from page 1— } ...

He asserted that, in fact, the average stipend remains $2,889, and not Ketter’s reported $3,023. One Council member related to College Council discusses next year SUNY restructure unlikely Managing Editor ■ The College Council convened in open session Monday for the second time this year, focusing discussion of the Graduate Union Student Employees (GSEU) and the newly disclosed proposal to restructure the SUNY and CUNY systems. The meeting was brief and subdued, in marked contrast to last month’s stormy conference. The Wessel Commission, which was established by Governor Carey 'to alleviate the financial problems of CUNY and guarantee equity between students of CUNY and SUNY, formulated a plan to rearrange the state’s public colleges and universities into two major New York State systems. The report, which was to be released in January, was leaked to The New York Times two weeks ago. The University of the State of New York would comprise the four major SUNY centers, the Upstate and Dowhstafe Medical several agricultural schools, schools, and the four major CUNY center, 11 units in all. The Empire State University would include the 68 remaining units, of the SUNY/CUNY. Two centers supervisory bodies, would the of Regents have final power? he asked the members of the Council. “Somebody will have to coordinate everything,” he said, adding that the Regents was the only body mentioned in the Wessel report to fulfill that function. On the other hand, Ketter said that a tendency to bring the SUNY universities financial level down to its colleges level would be eliminated by establishing the proposed University system. He said that the chance of a merger is “near zero” for the next year. Board Won’t support GSEU Ketter had no personal comment on the Wessel plan, explaining that, as of yet, he had not seen the actual report. It is not expected to be fully published until March 31. Howevet, to maintain “fiscal sanity,” a merger of the CUNY and SUNY -will be necessary, he asserted, although not necessarily conforming to the blueprints of the Wessel Commission. According to Ketter, Acting SUNY Chancellor James Kelly criticized the report, maintaining that the Commission had come up with a solution to a problem that was never defined. With the GSEU strike vote in progress this week, Ketter read a draft of the statement presented before the Faculty Senate yesterday, detailing his reaction to the March 7 meeting with members of the Graduate Student Association (GSA) and GSEU. “1 was asked to. recognize the Graduate Student Employees Union as bargaining agent for graduate students receiving state-funded stipends. I was also asked to discuss, in the form of addition, the Govenor In would nominate members of the Board of Regents, pending Senate confirmation. The Regents are the state now elected by Seven of those Legislature. members would make up the Commission of Higher Education, acting as the governing body of the two systems. Governance would be further sub-divided into five Boards of Trustees, one to oversee the University of the State issues negotiations, of New York, one to head the contract Empire State University, which rallied raised by the GSEU, and to would also have three others to arrange to have state officials cover the Metropolitan New York, present who could make contract Northeastern, and Western section decisions,” Ketter read from his prepared statement. of the Empire State University. presented Ketter several “In response, I stated that I contrasting analyses of the plan.

However, Michael Sartisky, a representative of the GSEU charged that the statistics were inaccurate. Council member Bill Baird hushed Sartisky, reminding him that the meeting was not a public hearing. In an interview with The Spectrum, Sartisky asserted that Ketter has manipulated the data. He explained that when GSEU was seeking recognition from Albany officials, the Office of Employment Relations filed ,an affadavit that claimed the number of TA/GA lines and funding had remained the same since 1974. that the committee administrators’ salaries had been frozen for the past five years. Student representative' David Brownstein replied that while some administrators earn $45,000, the average graduate stipend is $3,000, suggesting the “different implications” of a freeze. A $200 increase would significantly affect a student’s standard of living, he said. .'°d with Ketter said he attesting to Brownstein, the “despicable” circumstances preventing a stipend increase. He maintained that increased graduate stipends had been the University’s number one priority in the budget;, this year the University requested an additional $300,000, which would increase the average stipend by $300. The request was denied by Albany. ‘Number one priority’ “In spite of past efforts, those of us here at the University have He read off a list of universities, all of which had higher stipend averages, including SUNY at Stony brook. The highest stipend a student can receive is S3,900, according to the SUNY guidelines. Of the 1,058 assistants who receive stipends, only 742 earn over $3,000 and up. In his draft, Ketter wrote, “At the other (SUNY) centers, assistantships are managed by the graduate office. This centralized control has enabled them to normalize stipends, while our own pattern of departmental control (of assistantships) has resulted in a wide range of awards.” Brownstein asked Ketter if he support would publicly the GSEU. Ketter refused, reiterating that he does not consider assistants employees. He did say, however, that he would abide by the state’s decision, if it should grant GSEU union status. In other business, Ketter said that he expected the period of budget lobbying by SUNY to itensify soon. He also told Council members that the University is no longer in danger of Hooding. Silber: Union is recognizable Editor’s Note: The Graduate Student Employee’s Union’s presence on campus and their calls for suppprt hare raised many questions in the minds of graduate and undergraduate students. This article, essentially an articulation of the Union’s views on several matters, was the product of a talk last week with G'SEV lawyer Sue Silber. In light of this week's balloting for a possible week, strike to begin next the interview encompassed legal questions involved in Union recognition, employee status and rights, and the general legal aspects of striking. The balloting which began Monday saw 121 votes cast. About 71 were , by Fredda Cohen recognized the need to increase strpehds even further' in order for this institution to be competitive. recorded during the vote. first .day of last year's strike that, not yet designated as public employees, the Taylor Law would not apply to them. Should the University attempt to use Taylor Law penalties to supress the strike, she indicated, a Catch-22 would be created: by penalizing GAs and TAs as public employees, the administration would he in marked contradiction to its years-old stand that they are not employees, rather that they are apprentices, as Ketter recently named them. Scabbing a breach? Silber brought up the allegation that the administration would- attempt- to force faculty to teach TAs’ classes, using the threat of the Taylor Law as a Weapon., Interviewed in her home earlier this week, GSEU lawyer Sue Silber explained that in New York State there are two inenas for a union to be recognized. The first involved the State’s Public Employee Relations Board, that body concerned with interpreting the State’s law regarding public employees. PERB certifies a union as the bargaining agent for a given group of employees, an act which binds the particular public employer to negotiations “in good faith” with that union. “With the Taylor Law, employees give up the right to strike, and in return receive guarantees' of good faith bargaining and binding arbitration at points of impasse,” Silber said, The Taylor Law specifically bans public employee strikes. The second method is voluntary recognition by the local university. It is an option available to President Robert Ketter, according to Silber, and within his power. “To obtain PERB recognition, Teaching Assitants and Graduate Assitants (TAs and GAs) must be defined as employees, and the union must be a statewide organization Should the University itself recognize the Union, GSEU could be the local bargaining agent and need not be a statewide organization, which would require organizing on at least three other major SUNY campuses.” ‘Extreme provocation’ Ketter has a great deal of power to act, Silber emphasized. “If the campus is closed down, he can call the Office of Employee Relations to come and begin bargaining, he definitely could. In fact, the first requirement to any bargaining in good faith is that the officers with which the Union is negotiating be empowered to negotiate on the specific demands.” Silber was asked what provisions were made to force a public employer, in this case SUNY and the State, to bargain in good faith. “The intent of the Taylor Law is to promote peaceful labor relations,” she said, “and in the case of a strike, the imposition of penalties can be rethought, should it be proven that negotiations were not carried out in good faith. In this case, the administration has for years refused to negotiate, and it could be said that in fact it is the University that has gone on strike against its own workers. This contempt to the law is a form of “extreme provocation,” and the Union may see itself as forced to take a job action.” Does that imply that,the Taylor Law applies to graduate employees? The Labor lawyer responded ■* Sue Silber Zlffer “The administration will definitely do that, faculty to do though so last year, and using those references couched in more gentile terms. But I think the faculty would recognize that to do so would be scabbing, and unnecessary, since it would be a breach of their own contract.” Silber was asked if faculty could aid the strike without being penalized under the Taylor Law. “Slowdowns, blue flu, and the like have all been held to be a form of strike, and therefore illegal. The burden of proof, however, and this is crucial, is on the administration a faculty vote to strike is clearly illegal, but if one-third of the faculty is not teaching, it has to be proven on a case-by-case basis that they are striking. Other forms of protest, letters, statements of being forced to teach, are all legal.” The GSEU, advised Silber “would not advocate illegal actions on the part of any other group, but leaves it up to the creative genius of their fellow employees to support [them] in whatever way they can.” because they circulated a memo asking — — .» Wednesday, 16 March 1977 The Spectrum Page three . . �,V,' Griffen: Union pickets likely to be peaceful Editor's Note: Following is an interview with Lee Griffin, Director of University Police, on the possibilities which may arise from a graduate student strike. GSEU’s strike vote continues this week. The interview was conducted by R. Gilbert. people who will find other methods than violence to attain their goals. Q: Do you think the Union has a legal right to strike? A: That’s not for me to say. 1 will comment that they have a legal right to picket, within certain bounds. your dealings with of the University in general those bounds regulations regarding disruption are that pickets not disrupt or obstruct the functioning of the University, or obstruct traffic flow. We spoke in our meeting of possible problems when large trucks or any other vehicles come to the picket lines and the driver, of his own accord, decides not to cross that line. Should there be any problems with traffic flow in that case, we’ll facilitate that. Q With regard to that meeting with the Union members, what was the end result? A. Just as I said, it seems their intentions are good. Given the 1 tone of the meeting, unless the current leadership is unseated, there should be no problems. In the event that there are, we have made arrangements to call the Union before we take action, and to generally keep the lines of communication open. Q As I understand it, University Police are union members themselves, of State public employees unions. Would campus police honor picket lines? A: I couldn’t speak for them, but it would be a violation of the Taylor Law [State public employees law] It’s in our contract that “no strike of'any kind shall be condoned . That’s Article 27 in our contract Q: I was just thinking of union solidarity and all that A: Well, you must recognize too that the need for security still exists Q: I'd like to ask about yo"r role in the University Q: What have been the extent pf the GSEU? A: My past experience with them has been very good. The people I have come into contact with are responsible people, they understand a given situation and work reasonably toward their stated goals. Their actions in the past have been responsible, legal and peaceful, insofar as I have known about them. Q: Can you give an example? A: Well, for example, at the demonstration that they organized for Governor Carey’s appearance at the Bubble last year. Though we had some trouble there, the actions of the Union were always within legal bounds, and orderly As has been the case before, some trouble occurred when other groups were agitating and disrupting. Q: With regards to the possible upcoming strike, do you foresee any trouble? Aj I recently had a meeting with what I presume were three of the Union’s leaders. We talked about their plans, and our [Security’s] relation to them. We spoke of their plans to picket key areas in and around the University, ot our actions vdlb regard to those picket lines. In general I don’t look for pny trouble in dealing with the GSEU. First,'they are very well prepared as to what they can legally do. As I understand, and believe, it is not their intention to violate any law or University regulation. Now there may be people who will try to escalate things who are not even affiliated with GSEU. But with that exception we are dealing with a sophisticated group of Q: What are those hounds? A: Well, 1 can give you Special to The Spectrum If government statistics and most (CPS) university health administrators are to be believed, usage of LSD is waning slowly on the American campus as well as amongst the U.S. population as a whole. Indeed, in this decade of limited expectations, federal Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) spokesmen indicate that even legal medical experimentation with the drug practically has ceased. Thus it has gained, along with heroin and some other narcotics, a top spot on the DEA’s “Schedule One” drug list, which includes those villainous mind-twisters with no known medicinal value and correspondingly “high abuse potential." “LSD is on the decline,” noted one DEA spokesman, “but that doesn’t mean it’s not agamsi the law. and we plan to enforce the federal law." Asked if there had been any grand uncoverings of LSD caches by his agency recently, he replied, “no big busts on LSD lately, no, not LSD.” Figures from the National Institute- on Drug Abuse (NIDA) have been collected only long enough to add mystery and uncertainty to the question ot the hallucinogen’s popularity In 1972, for instance, 4.8 percent of Americans under 18 were estimated to have tried the drug at least once; the figure increased to 6 percent in- 1974. then declined to 4.5 percent in 1976. A similar household poll of adults undulated, with the highest percentage occurring in the most recent 1976 survey, presumably when a solid portion of the 1974 under-18 acid fanciers had turned voting age. A spokesman for NIDA Indicated that actual figures might be even higher, because the poll was conducted in homes “and those who have no permanent residence are likely to be among the heaviest drug users.” With occasional exceptions, most university officials believe that LSD use has declined to varying degrees on their campuses, though few claim to possess hard evidence. “There’s not much LSD here,” said an assistant director at the University of Wisconsin at Madison health center. “We certainly don’t see any medical fall-out here at the center, though they may be — ” - ...

Acid ingestion at Berkeley is now “negligible,” he said, and his force makes few LSD arrests. He added, however, that cocaine and marijuana enthusiasts have replaced the former acid heads. “The burned-out victims (of LSD) on Telegraph Avenue have had quite an effect here on campus,” the sergeant speculated. Conversely, University of New Hampshire infirmary officials in Durham feel that there has been increasing acid usage at UNH this year.

There has been some speculation among some students and Union members that being subject to the orders of the President, you may be told to do things that, if not clearly illegal, would at least not be in accord with some of the things you have told me so far. For example, would you obey an order to disband what you personally and professionally consider to be legal pickets? A: You question is fairly garbled. Are you saying would we pull off legally placed pickets? Q: Well, yes. Basically what I’m saying is: Are you responsible first to Ketter or first to what you believe to be the law? A; We are responsible first to Ketter if there is a legal order given. President Ketter would not give an illegal order. Also, I can’t imagine an illegal order being given, given the machinery that exists to resolve these orders. Q: Other speculation has been that possiblity that Buffalo police may at some point be called on campus. Is this possible? A: That would only happen if the situation were deemed beyond our control. I do not foresee any possibility of that as I said, these people are responsible, and they will use other methods than violence to address their plight. Q: Do you see that plight as one justifying a strike? A: You’ve been consistently„trying to put me in a position of conflict with President Ketter, and that’s not That’s not something the case.

According to a recent memo composed by Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald F. Bunn, this plan will preserve the present system, while providing for possible difficulties with as little disruption as possible. Bunn conducted extensive meetings with University President Robert Ketter, other faculty and administration members, and officials of the Student Association (SA) before determining this policy. —Vazquez Student-Wide Judiciary SASUelection invalidated The Student-Wide Judiciary has invalidated the recent election of SASU delegates. The decision is expected to be appealed. The SASU election was formally protested by independent candidate Michael Schwartz apd Alan Stein. Neither Schwartz nor Stein were among the the winning three in six-candidate field. They collected 386 and 734 votes respectively. by The two protest candidates was independent upheld by a three-member panel of student judges. While no written decision has been made public, the judges apparently believed the plaintiffs contention that malfunctions in voting machines in the Ellicott Student Club and at least one other location seriously disrupted the voting. Student Association President Steve Schwartz, and Student Affairs Coordinator Lee Peres, both of whose terms of office expired this week, argued strongly that the disruption in voting, which apparently had locked out votes on certain candidates’ lines, would not have significantly affected the outcome of the election. Perres told the panel of judges last Thursday night in Squire (Norton) Hall that another election would cost money and receive an even smaller turnout than usual. Perres at one point claimed no candidate protested the election to the SA Elections and Credentials committee at the committee’s first meeting after the election. Schwartz hotly Michael contested this, and Peres and Schwartz later conceded that this might not be the case. Winning SASU delegates in the invalidated election were Jeff Winkler, with 1488 votes; Clare Reardon with 1297; and Allen Clifford with 1196. Debbie White was first runner-up with 916 votes. Lev Proposal submitted The student government for course credit proposal of Michael Steven Levinson (Lev) was submittted to the formally Student Association last week. If approved, the SA constitution requires a referendum to be put before the student body in three weeks. The decision to give students the opportunity to vote on the Lev Proposal was not contigent on the invalidation of the SASU delegate election. Outgoing SA Executive Vice President Steve Spiegel said, “1 don’t know about any deadline to hold new SASU emphasized, He elections.” however, that if both the referendum are and the re-election held, “it would make sense economically to hold them both at the same time.” The Lev Proposal petitions widely circulated in and around Squire Hall, call for the abolition of SA and the institution of courses student government which, as units of students making decisions of interest to the entire undergraduate population, would be offered for credit. This would do away with all stipended positions in any student group funded by SA, and in SA itself. Levinson has indicated his desire to teach several of these courses. Before hold the it can decide on SA must referendum, the legality of the proposal and the validity of the names on the petitions. Spiegel gave a copy of the proposal to students in Legal MULTIDISCIPLINARY CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF AGING Dr. Reuben Andres, Chief, Clinical Physiology Branch, National Institute of Aging, Gerontology Research Center, Baltimore City Hospital, Baltimore, Speaking on Maryland OF NORMAL AGING MEDICAL ASPECTS THE THURSDAY, MARCH 17th from 1:30 2:45 pm Aid Services, who, together with a lawyer, will determine its legality. “We.ll check back with them at the end of the week to see what’s going on,” Speigel said, adding, “unless they come back to us before then.” He said he would submit the petition to the SA Elections and Credentials Committee Tuesday, who will go over the names with the computer in Admissions and Records. If passed by SA, the referendum would appear in the voting booths as a “constitutional amendment by substitution,” or, in other words, an amendment to abolish its own constitution. “The noon periods will not be used to jschedule 4 (credit hours) for 3 (contact hours) or 3 (credit hours) for 3 (contact hours), but rather will provide the additional contact opportunity required for undergraduate classes in which a fourth contact hour is educationally necessary,” the memo said. Further guidelines According to Faculty Senate Chairperson Jonathan Reichert, most classes will continue to meet for the present 50-minute or 80-minute periods because they actually provide one contact hour for each credit hour, or they have been approved by the Faculty Senate’s Committee on contact/credit exceptions. The new policy applies only to the upcoming academic year, while the credit/contact hour system here is being evaluated. In his memorandum, Bunn also set the following guidelines for scheduling. 1. Scheduling requests for 4 for 4 will be seated for 4 contact hours with priority, if desired, for the free noon period; 2. Scheduling requests for 4 for 3 will be seated for 3 contact hours, pending approval of justifications by the Faculty Senate Committee; 3. Scheduling requests for 3 for 3 will be seated for 3 contact hours, pending approval of justifications by the Faculty Senate Committee; and. 4. Those courses which request 4-3 or 3-3 and are not approved by the Faculty Senate Committee will presumably also be scheduled for 4 contact hours during the free noon period.

Jean Little was recently the series of amusing anecdotes on recipient Award, Spectrum Crime is rising on college campuses by Daniel W. Lindley Special to the Spectrum (CPS) An apparent rise in crime on many of the nation’s campuses is persuading numerous college administrators to beef up security measures. Though the rise in lawlessness in the nation’s colleges does not appear as severe as the rise amongst the general populace (FBI figures claim that the incidence of U.S. crime has nearly tripled since 1965, although some sociologists claim these figures have been exaggerated in order to precipitate Congrtssionaf funding), schools from North Carolina to North Dakota are trying to come to grips with the delicate issue. Vandalism and theft have become the most common problem in the rising tide of skullduggery. For instance, one member of the student government at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown remarked that rising vandalism there might make the campus an “incredible insurance risk.” A West Virginia college is requiring all dorm guests to sign visitor passes and promises to prosecute those who don’t with criminal trespassing. Meanwhile, an average of 16 college students a week are being arrested* for shoplifting in Greensboro, N.C., according to its district attorney, and the district judge there growls that “I do not know what the solution is to students shoplifting. The only thing the courts can do is start handing put active sentences.” r — You never know At Penn State University, the student government vice president is circulating a petition among the students that would demand that the campus police be armed. So far, 80 percent of the PSU students polled have favored guns for. their guards. Meanwhile, the president of Southwestern University in Texas has been griping about a “case of indecent exposure” at his campus, but has emphasized that disorder can be overcome without “creating an atmosphere of unhealthy fear or a climate of unreasonable suspicion.” Some campus crimestoppers believe that guns should be Supplied to the campus security guard, whose status, they continue, should be uplifted to that of a regular police officer. James Paul, chief of security at PSU, noted that “the sidearm is the basic tool of the officer. Would you send a surgeon to perform an operation without a scalpel?” The director of student affairs at PSU is in disaccord with the chief’s views, however. “You can never tell when somebody will overreact, no matter how well-trained,” he retorted. No point At the behest of the crime-riddled University of Oregon Health Science Center in Portland, a bill that would arm campus police in the state was introduced in the Oregon State Legislature March 2, and is currently in the Judiciary Committee. However, a campus security sergeant at Oregon State University in Corvallis, and many other campus security agents in the state, said they did not want to carry guns. A regent who recommended against the bill warned of “the creation of mini police forces which would not be accountable to anyone which is, in effect, what we are doing here.” “There’s no point in carrying guns,” echoed Dean Robert Nye of Kearney State College in Nebraska. The college outlawed guns for campus security in 1974. “We needed a security force rather than a police force.” At colleges where the crime rate has dropped, success has been attributed often to increased student participation in the Law ‘n Order process. At Memphis State University, for instance, the director of security reported that 1976 thefts were down about 20 percent from 1975 because students were “reporting suspicious characters and criminal actions more. In the past, especially the late 60’s and early 70’s, ripoffs were accepted and sometimes even encouraged by the — public.” Though the crime rate is slightly off at the University of New Hampshire, brawls have become a big problem there, and two security guards are being stationed at each dorm party. One student who was returning from the Library was beaten at his dormitory’s door by a drunken party-goer and filed assault charges against his assailant I had a final the next day because “that fight obstructed my studies that 1 had to miss because I went to see the justice of the peace.” “I’ve had it,” stormed a disgruntled dorm leader. “I’ll call the cops when I see trouble now whether it’s a fight at a party or someone crawling up the fire escape.” — — Page six .

More than a miscarriage of justice, last month’s proceedings were nothing less than a moralistic witchtrial, carefully brewed by prosecutor Simon Leis Jr., and by Judge William overseen obscene. Flynt’s attorney, Harald Price Fahringer, attempted to introduce other men’s magazines as graphic evidence of true Cincinnati standards.

Hustler is in persons engaged in illegal activity no legal danger there. for profit.” . Aided and abetted Since Hustler is neither published nor distributed out of Cincinnati, the prosecutor had to somehow link Flynt to individuals in the area in order to make use of the law. He succeeded. By maintaining Flynt had “aided and abetted” Marshall News Co., the local distributing firm, Leis had his five or more persons guilty of organized crime. It seems some are more guilty than others. The distributor was not indicted. Although the statute’s wording may be somewhat ambiguous, the penalties it provides are precise and to the point. Flynt faces No bail for Flynt Cincinnati is dead serious about protecting its citizenry. Larry Flynt, purveyor of dirty was considered pictures, dangerous enough to be denied bail, a measure usually reserved for presidential assassins and heiress kidnappers. It seems Flynt’s mere presence on the streets of Cincinnati is considered obscene.

It succeeded in adding considerable ambiguity to already unclear guidelines. In his majority opinion, Burger insisted that states draft clear and strict laws pertaining to sexual conduct. For a man so insistent on clarity, Burger was remarkably imprecise in his own language.

Page seven �Correction EditPrial Vote strike In case you're wondering how to vote in this week's Graduate Student Employee's Union strike balloting, we would like to turn your attention to last Friday's Haas Lounge forum with Executive Vice President Albert Somit, and other members of the Ketter administration. Somit, although an agile speaker, did not effectively answer many substantive questions put forward by GSEU and raised by Union members during the debate Friday. Although there was some grandstanding on the part of questioners, Somit at several points needlessly resorted to sarcasm and supercilious replies which skirted many reasonable, issue-oriented inqueries. Typical was his response to a question about GSEU's demand for smaller class size: "There is no study that indicates any correlation between class size and quality of education." Maybe so. But isn't it obvious that class size will determine at least the amount of individual attention a student will get from an instructor, and is that possibility so remote that Somit requires a study to confirm it? At another point, Somit replied to a lengthy statement from the floor which had drawn applause by saying, "Apparently the applause is in response to your fervor more than your intellectual coherence." Additionally, Somit and other administrators are only prepared to call on statistics which support their rebuttals to GSEU. For example. President Robert Ketter told the College Council Tuesday that 15 percent of the University's courses are taught by graduate students. In fact, there are so many variations across departments and contradicting formulas for 9etermining who carries how much of the course load, that such a statistic is currently impossible to compute. Vet, when asked about the number of women and minority graduate students that have been admitted to the University, Somit hastened to point out that there was no available information on that matter. The great irony of the GSEU issue is that the conflict between the Union and the University administration is over how much the administration should or could do to alleviate the plight of graduate students here, and does not concern that is the specifics of whether grads are in trouble be the case. The Ketter mutually recognized to to GAs and TAs stipend paid administration agrees that the and it is that praiseworthy is well below the national average, aid, financial mainly in restoration of severely-cut graduate the TAP program, has been a major budget priority this year and last. But it is unthinkable that this should be enough. Somit and Ketter have repeatedly pointed out that they have done all that they can within the limits of State law, and that whatever else they might have done is precluded by the felt belief that GAs and TAs are not employees, and receive money solely by virtue of their academic positions. Well, we think Ketter and Somit are hiding in legal semantics again, because graduate students are paid, indeed, must live off the wage they are paid for services performed at and for the University. As long as our administrators continue to take refuge in tenuous employee/apprentice distinction, graduate students here really have little choice but to vote to strike. the In Monday’s front-page article on text headline and Student Senate meeting, the proposed were inaccurate with reference to a resolution. Graduate Student Employee’s Union to back In fact, the Student Senate did not refuse ot consideration a GSEU strike, but postponed time. of discussion lack resolution for the were In addition, several inaccuracies reported in an article concerning the Graduate Executive Vice Student Association meeting with Friday. Somit on Albert President Repeated in the article was a Somit comment that a 1974 report, passed by a committee of administrators and the GSA, had declared that graduate and teaching assistants were not employees, but taught as part of their education. Unmentioned was a 1977 GSA resolution which endorsed the right of the GSEU “to collectively bargain with officers of SUNY Buffalo ..” . Another Somit comment unattributed to him asserted that the State’s Tuition Assitance Program cuts affected graduate students in only eliminating TAP for longer than one way fourth-semester associate of masters degree candidates. Actually, there are at least four other areas where TAP cuts have seriously affected graduate students. Two of the questions included in the articles were misstated. The first questioner stated that President Robert Ketter had promised to lobby in Albany for the restoration of cut graduate employee tuition waivers, but in fact had not done so. Somit agreed that the allegations were true, though it it not implied in the article. A second questioner asked if it was not a conflict of interest that the persons who sit on SUNY Boards of Trustees are often the very same persons that buy the bonds used to finance SUNY construction. - .

It was by far the sickest, most demented movie 1 have ever seen. I feel the movie had absolutely no redeeming A changed form On the afternoon of Fri., March 11, there was a forum sponsored by the GSA where a half dozen administrators were present to speak and answer questions. I’ve been here in Buffalo about ten years now and it seems the task of the administration to cloud and mystify the issues as much as possible hasn’t changed. On this occasion Dean Holt’s performance in relationship to the question of the GSA’s position on whether it conceives TA’s and GA’s not only as students, but also as workers, was particularly scandalous. He quoted some student representatives of the GSA to the effect that TA’s and GA’s are not workers in this University and he thereby tried to have us believe that that was the position of the GSA. Luckily someone asked when those quotes came out. It turned out that a couple of the representatives had given their opinions on the question opinions that were in conflict with the stated resolutions of the GSA. But most striking to the audience that afternoon was the admission that these private opinions were expressed in 1974. Now we can’t call that which Dean Holt said an outright lie. But where do we draw the line between a lie and the attempt to give an appeardnce contrary to the facts? This sort of distortion of the situation is typical of the administration’s tactics of obfuscation that keep the students and the taxpayers in the dark as to what is really going on here in the State University system. And you can see clearly their other tactics of laying down blankets of longwinded verbiage nothing, about slow, substanceless speaking that tells us nothing and wastes our precious time, faulty substitution of .. that the film committee showed Slenn Kaiser of life To the Editor. . and extremely poor taste in bringing the film to campus. Hope in the future they will screen their movies a little more closely. pre-suppoisitions in the handling of questioners’ remarks and questions, dodging pointed questions, responding with ad hominem attacks on grad students’ sense of judgment, etc., etc. Somit and Holt and the rest of these puppets in their fine $45,000 a year jobs command no further respect or attention. These emperors have shown the quality of their clothes. And it’s about time for people to speak more clearly and honestly, break through the veils and restraints of these kinds of truncated “dialogues” and begin to call the situation as it is to speak authentic words and stand up for what we know. These men are thieves who have stolen the University from the people and now steal our very language; our speech is made worthless, it no longer manifests the real. The inhumane, formalized modes of interaction in our departments continue the oppression and suppression that drain us of our energy and life. We don’t have to wait for the next generation of Haldemans and Erlichmans; it is already with us well entrenched in our University. As long as we who try to be honest and straightforward (among students, faculty, administration, staff, etc.) do not raise our voices in the face of those distortions and deceit (it is the accepted everydayness of it that is so appalling), it’ll go on and on until we and our children no longer remember what it is to distinguish right from wrong, and we’ll be living so well unified with the incredible system. Our goal must not be merely a changed political, social, educational structure, but also a changed form of life. ... Terry Keegan �of Chug YIsrael To the Editor. 'o the Editor. We are writing in response to Mr. Raphael Shapiro’s letter in the Friday, March 11 Spectrum, xmcerning our add fpr Chug Yisrael (March 4). Mr. Shapiro has, by pure conjecture, misrepresented our function on this campus. Chug Yisrael has absolutely no connection with any other group whatsoever. It was formed by four students who wished to create an environment where purely informal discussion could take place on issues concerning them; specifically, our personal relationship to Israel. Our purpose in advertising was simply to invite anyone else with similar interests. We would also be interested in finding out where Mr. Shapiro stumbled over this alleged “propaganda campaign” that was supposedly “organized by the Israeli consulates at N.Y.C., Washington, D.C., and L.A.” during “January and February in N.Y.C.” After intensive investigation on our part, we question the validity of the names of the three gentlemen he spoke of in his letter and their alleged “propaganda connection with this campaign.” Furthermore, »t is beyond our comprehension that any propaganda campaign launched by a government would be spearheaded by the “Ministry of Defense,” an “economist,” an “Expert in American law,” and four students at the University of Buffalo. If Mr. Shapiro or anyone else wishes further debate on this topic, they are welcome to attend the next meeting of Chug Yisrael (discussion group on Israel), Sunday, March 20 at 7:30 p.m., Room 334 Norton Hall. Chug Yisrael b closed minds . 'o the Editor There’s always something pitiable about ;lf-defeat and for that ineffable reason the plans by ic GSEU to strike are enough to make one weep. Jrhaps the principles which underlie their idely-bruited objectives are disguised even from tern, especially now after they have been veneered rith the rhetoric of a mordant Movement, a dead but not forgotten) Left. There is still a sufficiently nbridgeable distance between our viewpoints (them nd me) so that one can form some conjectures bout their deeper motives and still maintain that ntellectual reserve granted anthropologists visiting trange tribes. I beg your indulgence. What does a GSEU militant tell him/herself in er/his private moments? Oh, I’m sure the bulk of rose private ruminations are not much different ■om those the rest of us mortals form in our lonely, afty privileged respites from a spit and hum world if drum and dram. Ah, but! There must be those nomentary dishonesties, those self-deluding intervals i which rhetoric and ideal are exchanged for elf-preservation, felt-failure, imminent loss, greed, There must be, or else how lourgeois anxiety |ould they possibly delude themselves so completely, or offer their strike with such, how can one say it? insouciance. Let me address those private interludes of dishonesty. The favorite tactic of power movements with dubious motives is to cloak their goals in a choking lust-cloud of incontestably admirable ends. Nobody of good heart and cheer (like myself) would really Wish to debate the GSEU on those points they are Impotent to affect anyway: to maintain the 4-course load; limit class size; affirm Affirmative Action (they said “Encouraging,” those wishy-washy creeps); maintain better security on campus “for both graduate and undergraduate students” (there’s a fine point! Who was the first to shout against increased security budgets at the expense of teaching assistantships? Against Guns on campus? Against police lurking incognito in certain public places? One guess. And whence the sudden invidious distinction between grad and undergrad?); restore “services essential to both of us” ( quote these points from their letter of 'The Spectrum, March 2). Who could argue these points? Who what the when? And how . . . — the which? But around what principles did the GSEU originally organize? Higher salaries for themselves. Why? Because they deserve it, they said, because some schools award their TA’s and GA’s higher salaries (some), because, by golly, they’re pretty darn good teachers, aren’t they? After all, how many TA’s have had the courage and patience to use valuable class time to promote the world-shaking ideas which resonate behind the GSEU struggle, class after radical class? Criminal. Man, (oh, and woman) haven’t you had enough of that hog swill and goose slime and bat guano? Oh, yeah, grads are friendlier, more sympathetic, do finer drugs, give nicer-looking grades, hold parties at their house, consort with students, sit on the desk, drink lots of beer. But they are also notorious for wining (forgive the anti-caterpillar jokes) their lessons, for their lack of information, irresponsibility, nervous breakdowns, curious and to speak comprehensibly, persistent inability broadly, un-neurotically to fresh people. That is, jivers and jivettes, our grad students, how passing strange, have not yet LEARNED HOW TO TEACH! Every good teacher knows that s/he must learn how to teach, that s/he’s still learning, that that’s the idea, that grads are in their apprenticeship, that there’s a certain technique, a private knack to speaking in “legible slogans’’ in those neon signs with ideas behind them big enough to be swallowed and . . " kept through even the longest T.V. marathon and the most exciting hockey season. No one claims that there is a magic division between professor and grad student that is crossed by the smudging of a name on a dotted line at the bottom of a teaching contract. Prof. X, notorious onanist, might be less equipped to teach than prodigal grad student F., yes. But changes are and the British love to gamble, don’t you know that X. has made some commitment to research or some commitment to production (didn’t someone say “All value derives in labor”) or some commitment to commitment p.g.s. F. hasn’t conceived of yet. When you get down to crass facts (brass tacks) the GSEU was a greedy idea originated among some folks who realized that they were in a tunnel which promised no light at its end; in fact, there was probably not even another tunnel at the end of the tunnel (Oh, Cul-de-sac City!) at least, not for them. exercize in Grad studentship, can be an brinksmanship if played correctly, that is, with a certain humor and integrity despite its many, discomfiting aspects (poverty, boredom, an unmanageable cornucopia of free time and sex). One would think, at very bottom, that if it was so uncomfortable, a grad would try to get out as quickly as possible. Instead, the GSEU pushes to make t.a.-ship virtually cushy. And this lack of imagination of the GSEU is paralleled by the source of its largest strength:, the Awareness Contingent, recruited from those departments in which a motley group of folks are most hopeless of turning their crapola into payola, from those disciplines which require the least discipline, from those schools (of thought, cupcake) where grad students can most easily substitute talk about their radical ideals for ideas, political leaflets for primary texts, the syntax of rebellion for the simple grammar of an English language (OH, most abused Mother Tongue, lick me!) half their students can’t write correctly and, thanks to them, never will. Students Arise! Fight the GSEU! If they vote Strike, attend the teacherless classes! Organize study groups! Sit in silent protest against their dereliction! Get your money’s worth out of tuition! You-paid them to teach, don’t let them get away with it! Can you stand being addressed that way? Isn’t it somewhat embarrassing that nearly grown folks go around shouting like that? If the Grad students of the GSEU were being honest they would stop shouting and admit that theirs is a luxury position (created by an over-fattened State University system of the sixties) suddenly under attack in an era of political and financial retrenchment. Few working paid get class people more to do less. ($30.))/teaching hour). The time they put in for preparing is their learning, and doesn’t count as salaried work, that’s why they’re still students. Isn’t that simple? (tuition free, too). And how, may one ask, can there be smaller classes without more t.a.’s? And if there are more t.a.’s, how can each be paid more instead of less? And even if this money is miraculously found somewhere in the porcine and corrupt State bureaucracy, why the hell would a grad student in, oh, let’s pick one at random, English, say, why, in God’s name would s/he want competition in a field where there are already less jobs per PhD than can be imagined, where V* of the graduates might have a job in their field five years after they get their doctorate? Logic, please, a little simple logic. Shut up, you in the back. Don’t you believe in freedom for the people? Aren’t you a clear-thinking revolutionary? Can’t a high-minded person try to line his pockets a little these days? I am writing to comi'lain about these so-called special discounts you can receive while dining out at a restaurant. When 1 registered to go to school here this semester they gave me a little discount book called Dollars-Off which contains all sorts of discounts on restaurants and stores. Well last weekend I thought I would take advantage of one of these offers and took my girlfriend out for dinner at Mulligan’s. Being like most college students and not having much money, I called the restaurant earlier to get some of their dinner prices and was told that the meals start at S4.25, but they do have crepes for about $2.75. So my girlfriend and myself went out to dinner and ordered drinks and the crepes. However, when it came time to pay and I showed them my four-dollar discount on dinner for two they told me that what we had really wasn’t considered dinner so we couldn’t use the discount. First of all the crepes were listed under the main section of the menu and not under the deserts, and second of all what right do they have to tell me what I am to eat for dinner. I only wish that in the future if they insist that in order to use the discount you must get a full course dinner then it should say that somewhere on the discount booklet. Not just four dollars off dinner for two. 1 hope that this letter serves as a warning to other students who. are also looking to save a few dollars.

Brownstein on election To the Editor . role Discounts no good This letter is in response to an “opinion” (however unqualified) entitled “Campus Unrest,” written by Charles Greenberg for The Spectrum March 11th issue (last Friday). It is obviously an attempt to analyze the recent S.A. elections. It is a poor attempt. As the Insight Party’s candidate for President, I will attempt to respond to Mr. Greenberg’s analysis, and possibly shed a litflfe light on the election myself. Several factors determine the outcome of an election. One of the most powerful would have to be The Spectrum's endorsements. Mr. Greenberg refers to the “responsibility” shown by The Spectrum ’s early , endorsements. The fact is, that when it comes down a vote on who to recommend, unless all candidates for a position are unknown, the “objective interviews” have little to do with the vote. One editor slept through my interview, faces were made behind my back, and I knew that Mr. Greenberg, among others, had decided long before not to endorse me. I played the game hoping nof to be butchered. Another factor this year was the administration. You see, the “opposing party” has an excellent record in support of Athletics, and a memorandum was issued by a Mr. Muto (Men’s Athletics) in support of my opponents; funny how just days later, coaches and physical ed instructors were telling all classes and teams to go out and vote for the other party. So you see, the administration “casts ballots” in S.A. elections as well. What a coincidence, too. They supported the party that labeled our friends in Hayes “the powers that be.” 1 brought this matter to the Elections Committee of S.A. Their answer: “That is pretty rough, isn’t it?” , So rather than protest the election, I jotted off a letter to Dr. Ketter asking him to censure the Athletic Dept, for their unethical involvement. I nowhere profess complacency and reverse my policy of standing up to the administration by asking censure of a branch of the same, as is implied in the article. Mr. Greenberg has covered several stories conflict between myself and the involving administration, and frankly, should know better. All he had to do yas read his own articles. Unfortunately, literacy is not a requirement for Spectrum (sorry, Chuck but your Editofs at The big, cheap, shot). article w*s one Let me end on this note; S.A. has incredible potential.

Apparently the name calling and innuendo has not ended with the election, but continues with Mr. Brownstein’s letter. Charles Greenberg Wednesday, 16 March 1977 The Spectrum Page nine . . �I am writing this because of my deep concern While about the probable strike of GAs and TAs. the issues about discussion much has been there involved, the only voice raised has been that of the GSEU. As a result, there has not been a thorough consideration of these issues or of the wisdom of a strike. Let mV point to my specific concerns. First, the Ketter administration cannot do much about the salaries of GAs/TAs. The fact that the specific state legislature controls allocations for such items in the U.B. budget as this is clear. Indeed, the legislature’s tight control over this aspect of the budget was seen late last spring in its hesitation about approving the full monies for a tuition waiver for GAs/TAs. All the administration can do is to request more money from Albany. It is illogical to say that the administration does not want higher to attractk GA/TA stipends since it is seeking The to U.B. evidence is students graduate top-flight increases. that it has sought stipend Second, the GSEU says that current GA/TA overwhelming salaries are lower than those of the majority of the American workforce. This is true if just by the amount of the stipend is considered however. also, looked at must be Other factors itself. One is that the value of an assistantship can be measured fairly only by putting the amounts of the Stipend and the tuition waiver together. Another is nine-month, not that the assistantship covers a jobs, other and involves twelve-month period as with half-time or less employment. These facts put the relationship between UB’s GA/TAs and the rest of the workforce in a different light. Further, there is a distinction between GAs/TAs and other state employees. A graduate assistantship traditionally has been viewed as an apprenticeship for prospective university teachers and scholars. Unionization would destroy this principle. Third, I am very concerned about the fate of tuition waivers as a result of a strike. The examples of how these were eliminated after unionization at the Universities of Michigan and Wisconsin cannot be taken lightly. If GAs/TAs are lumped with other salaried employees, it will be difficult to justify waivers. asking Albany to continue providing tuition claiming to support Further, the GSEU, while consider it would indicated that waivers, has tuition negotiating them away for a sufficient salary absolutely amount. To me, a tuition waiver is essential. I would not like the idea of having to deplete my bank account or take out a loan and while I wait to earn the interest accure that would enable me to salary commensurate replenish or repay it. hostility that a Fourth, we must consider the Albany, where it would not go strike could create in that we suggesting am not I While unnoticed. legislature, I the state prostitute ourselves before a strike that possibility consider the should think we might could so antagonize the legislature that it create a time and budget at punish to us decide worse situation. New Beyond this, we cannot ignore SUNY and true, While is as the it York State’s budget crisis. less than those here earn says, that GSEU GAs/TAs at other state universities, it should be pointed out that those states do not have as gloomy a fiscal situation as New York. As such, we, along with others on the public payroll, must exercise a measure of self-restraint and have some concern for the common good. Lastly, such non-money issues as better campus security, access to buildings, more office space, and a reduction of excessive class size and workloads do not require a strike to be resolved. They can likely be worked out among GAs/TAs, administration, and departments if considered by themselves and approached more positively. It is unreasonable to assume that the administration is opposed to these. In general, what is needed is not confrontation but a spirit of cooperation. Even if this does not bring immediate results, it will prevent the creation of an bven more difficult situation for GAs/TAs. Undergraduate Economics Assoc.

The debate on abortion, the article published on Mr. Baird (Mar. 4th) and the letter printed criticizing the debate (Mar. 7th) cannot go unchallenged. The lack of proper organization of the debate has already been pointed out by Ms. Marafino and Ms. Hanley. If it had been desired to have Mr. Baird matched with someone “comparable in experience and qualifications, arrangements should have been made for Mr. Baird to debate Dr. Mildred Jefferson, president of Right to Life. Nevertheless, Mrs. Koch did a fine job and brought out many excellent points that could not easily be ignored by those who sincerely desire to make an informed decision, of the debate was deplorable. It was non-existant. You are guilty of being 100% biased. You gave no recognition to Mrs. Koch’s position (other than twice misspelling her nam r ). Do you thing that Right to Life’s position (part Page ten . of which is that the aborted baby is a separate, living, human being, and that the Bill of Rights should include the rights of all, including the unborn) is insignificant?Or is it that you think that by supressing those views you can control the sentiment of the university? Your hypocrisy testifies against you. By this act of negligence you have proven that you lack any degree of objectivity. Your irresponsibility in reporting such an important issue is an insult to the University’s intelligence. The saddest part of the debate itself were Mr. Baird’s slanderous remarks in attacking churches and dedicated individuals who maintain a respect for the life of the unborn. , The power of those who have economic interests in continued legalized abortions is tremendous and far reaching. This reality cannot be ignored. It is vital that individuals defend the rights of the unborn by contacting their Congressmen and Senators in support of a Human Life Amendment. The Spectrum .

Page eleven �/ Election law bill passes assembly The State Assembly passed a bill last week which would (SASU) eliminate the step of having to apply for absentee ballot applications. If expected approval by the Senate and Governor Hugh Carey comes about, written requests for absentee ballots would result in direct mailing of ballots to applicants. The State Board of Elections is currently revising the mail registration form to include a section where voters can request absentee ballots be sent to them for up to four years, a reform with obvious benefits to the states more than 500,000 college students. “It is still the student’s responsibility to notify the Board of Elections if they move during the year,” said Assembly aid Dave Shiftman. “We can go only so far in simplifying the application — process.” The Board of Elections estimates an increase of 10-35% in the numbers of students voting through the reforms.

And remember, he who hesitates is lunch. more than 50,000 students were registered to vote, SASU discovered thousands of cases in which students never received ballots or applications after writing their county boards. Shiftman noted that “It is typical for a student to receive a ballot after the election has taken place.” Trustees call Carey’s Budget ‘socially regressive’ (SASU) The S UNY Trustees said last week that “the executive budget takes the University to the edge of what is manageable” and termed the TAP cuts as an increase in “out-of-pocket expenditures for the neediest students.” The effects of the Executive Budget of 1977-78 places the State University systems operating level at essentially the same level of last year. “With decreased support, the State University of New York is diminished in the number of students it can serve, in the services it can provide to the public, and in the knowledge it can create,” according to the Trustees statement. Governor Hugh Carey’s proposal to cut the Tuition Assistance Plan (TAP) by $41 million dollars was termed by the Trustees as a “socially regressive action.” The Trustees viewed this proposal as “doubly discriminatory.” Public college students and the economically disadvantaged families with net taxable incomes of below $10,000 will expect an increase expense of $100 if approved. The Trustees urged that “the reduction in State Aid (to Community Colleges) be a one-time occurance in order to protect the open enrollment concept and avoid program retrenchment.’ — Anti-student legislation killed in Assembly Labor Committee (SASU) Student unionists now working at several campuses on organizing projects can breath a collective sigh of relief following the death in the Assembly Labor Committee of a bill that would have prevented the collection of union dues from student workers:-’ Strongly opposed both by the AFL-CIO and SASU, the bill would have prohibited the imposition of union {lues on fully matriculated high school and college students. Republican Assembly Sponsor Robert D’Andrea said that students are often taxed with union dues while receiving less union benefits than do regular year round employees. Opponents of the bill cited that union, benefits can outweigh dues and that students in heavily unionized areas would be denied jobs if the bill became law. The Assembly Labor Committee, chaired by Sy Posner, also killed another piece of legislation considered hostile to students’ interests that would have denied unemployment compensation to campus workers employed part time. Student Association of the State University (SASU) opposed th£ bill and actively lobbied against it on the grounds that it would have an adverse affect on large numbers of persons at a time when jobs are so scarce and education costs high. SASU also noted that the bill would have violated the Federal Unemployment Tax Act and resulted in the loss of considerable federal revenues.

International Affairs �Indoor season • Buffalo falls behind in three way track meet by Jeff John Spectrum Staff Writer The time was last Saturday afternoon. The place was Center Track. The St. Bonaventure University’s occasion was a triangular track meet pitting underdog Buffalo against McComb College and St. Bonaventure. It was Buffalo’s last chance to score an upset victory during the indoor season and they almost pulled it off. When all the dust had settled virtually every Buffalo athlete had posted a seasonal best in one or more events. But McComb College won the meet with 46 points and Buffalo and St. Bonaventure tied for second with 34 points apiece. “The team did real well today. We set a lot of personal records,” said Buffalo coach Walter Gantz. According to Gantz if it had not been for a few unusual circumstances the Bulls would almost surely have emerged the winners. Gantz explained, “Of the 11 events contested, we weren’t able to enter three of them and it was in these three events that McComb scored 24 of its 46 points.” In those three events, the high jump, hurdles and pole vault, Buffalo has men who would have placed had they been able to attend Saturday’s meet. Shot put cancelled / in another unfortunate occurrence, Buffalo was sabotaged when St. Bonaventure announced it was cancelling the first event, the 35-pound hammer throw because their hammer was “broken.” Buffalo senior Walter Halady was expected to win the event easily having set a school record in the event only two weeks before. They couldn’t cancel the shot put event however as Halady brought his own shot which he used to win with a heave of 46 feet. Malady’s effort was only 3 feet off his own Reilly center record set two years ago. In the first track event, the 2-mile relay, Buffalo pulled off its biggest coup of the day. Gantz said, “We don’t have four half-milers capable of running a winning pace so 1 decided to have our top distance runners fill the last two legs on the relay. If when it came their turn to run we had a chance to win, then they’d race, otherwise they would simply jog it as a warm up.” The distance men would have to race in the mile and 2 mile runs as well. Strategy works On the first leg of the relay, senior Mark Rybinski, who had just rejoined the team after a four-week absence, surprised everyone by running stride for stride with the opposition. Rybinski handed the baton off to freshman Ken Dole who turned in an equally impressive performance which gave the distance men the green light to race. Sophomore distance runner Mike Fisher kept the pace going for the Bulls to set up senior distance runner John Ryerson who forged into the lead which he held all the way to the finish to give the Bulls their first relay victory of the season. Their time was 7:42, only 9 seconds off the all time Reilly Center record. Coach Gantz said of the runners’ performance, “They were really cookin!” Only minutes later the distance men were back on the track for the mile run. Showing no signs of fatigue after his relay performance, Ryerson won the mile with a 4:28 clocking, his best time of the season. Fisher also improved on his previous best indoor time as he finished 5th in 4:42. He was followed closely by sophomores Tom Pitchford and Kieran Lyons along with freshman Rob Schaefer. Best sprints In the sprints senior Paul Kubicki clocked his fastest time in the 45-yard dash when he finished second with a 5.1 effort. Kubicki was followed across the finish line by freshmen Bob Reis and Darren Hall who also recorded their top marks of the season. In the 600-yard dash senior Joe Woroby was barely nosed out at the finish after having led from the start. His time of 1:19 was an excellent clocking fpr the small St. Bonaventure track. Woroby was followed by freshmen Hall and Mark Hines. In the 1000-yard run Dole finished 2nd with a time of 2:24, nearly a 20-second improvement over his previous performance. Gantz said of Dole, “He ’s been getting stronger and stronger every week. In fact he would have won the 1000 today if it hadn’t been for a freshman’s mistake. He tried to pass on the inside oflce too often. He’s going to break some records before he leaves.” In the two-mile run the distance men were back on the track for the third time, but if they were tired, it didn’t show as Ryerson and Fisher finished 2nd and 3rd with times of 9:47 and 9:48. “These are excellent times,” said Gantz. Pitchford, who has been getting closer to the leaders each week, clocked his best ever indoor two-mile at 10:18. He was followed by Lyons and Schaefer who also had seasonal bests. The last event of the day was the mile relay in which a Buffalo foursome composed of Kubicki, Hines, Woroby and Reis narrowly finished second to McComb College. For the fourth straight week Reis posted the Bulls’ fastest leg reasserting his claim to the anchor man position. This Saturday, the New York State Indoor Track and Field Championships will be held at St. Lawrence University and although Buffalo’s athletic director, Ed Muto, has given the club team clearance to participate, it is doubtful anyone will go. According to Gantz the team’s meager budget just won’t allow it. The outdoor track season opens against Geneseo on April 16.

Tony Goodstone’s nostalgic look back at the trashy magazines that flourished from 1890 to 1950 doesn’t just give the reader bits and snatches of the pulps, a page here and a page there; there are more than fifty stories and articles, all of them complete, and a hundred of the colorful, come-hither covers which enticed the buyers. The names of these writers will be surprisingly familiar to the readers of today; Robert E. Howard, Dashiell Hammett, Philip Wylie, Tennessee Williams, H. P. Lovecraft, Paul Gallico, and Ray Bradbury are among the many represented in The Pulps. This is a book to browse through, to pick up on a rainy day and while away the hours. 2 3 4 3 6 7 8 9 The Whole Sex Catalogue Bernhardt J. Hurwood Pinnacle Books $6.95 This exhaustive compilation aims at being nothing less than a WHOLE EARTH CATALOGUE of sex and sex paraphernalia, providing, as the Introduction states, “the kind of practical down-to-earth Sex information that anyone might be desperately looking for, anytime, anywhere.” The book offers copious information, arranged by subject, on virtually every type of available sex aid or device, details on how to get in touch with various different organizations, clubs, or what might be called special interest groups; as well in various states, brief articles on the history of various sexual practices, and a wide selection of photographs, diagrams, and 18th Century prints and drawings. Often glib and marred by occasional poor writing, the book is nonetheless valuable either as an information source or as an especially outrt coffee-table piece.—Gregory Feeley, l.M.I. Composition in Art Henry Rankin Poore Dover Publications Inc., $3.00 COMPOSITION IN ART is a reasonably priced paperback which provides a fundamental treatment of the mechanics of visual composition. This unabridged republication of Poore’s 1967 edition originally titled PICTORIAL COMPOSITION AND THE CRITICAL JUDGEMENT OF PICTURES includes 116 illustrations and 32 diagrams. By using Master and Modem painters to illustrate his points, Poore deals concisely and informatively with the varied technical aspects of visual organization. Topics such as balance by gradation, natural axes, and angular composition are discussed along with circular observation and light and shade. All of these topics and more are indexed to enable the reader to locate particular areas of interest. Poore’s discussions can be applied to any of the disciplines where visual communication is the subject. This book can serve as a practical guide for not only the fine artist but also the graphic designer and photographer.—l.M. I.

Undue attention has been focused on the more sensationalistic sections—Nixon talking praying with Kissinger on the floor of the Oval Office—but the importance of the book lies elsewhere. A gradual portrait of Nixon emerges: vague, self-occupied, obsessively deceptive and possessed of vast abilities to rationalize past actions and delude himself as to his own guilt. The portrayal of the men he surrounded himself with—and of their signal ability to assume that they own partisan interests were necessarily also moral ones, even when clearly illegal—will endure as a horrifying and cautionary reminder of the natural tendency of government bodies to redefine moral standards around their own needs unless constantly checked from the outside. The book includes, in addition to the 509 pages of text, a chronology, an appendix of the names and positions of everyone involved, a detailed index, and sixteen pages of photographs.

The marvelous thing about Lisa Alther’s very very funny book is that is puts social significance back into rhetoric. It is one thing to read about the revolutionary significance of soy bean casseroles; it is another thing to feel real about making one yourself. This book is a remarkable accurate portrayal of the times and thoughts of the people who participated in making the sixties such a social phenomenon. The indecisiveness of the characters is effectively portrayed as they suddenly immerse themselves in whatever is ideologically and emotionally valid for the times and then just as suddenly abandon these convictions to move on to something else. Ginny Babcock speaks to us in ways that Joyce Maynard, the self-proclaimed youth spokeswoman of the sixties never could. With every new inspiration and at every socially eventful turning point, Ginny throws herself into totally contradictory crowds and ways of living. Originally the Flag Swinger for Hullsport High and the girlfriend of Joe Bob Sparks, she defected to ride the back of the town hood’s motorcycle and to drink moonshine with him at the Bloody Bucket. But just as quickly and compulsively Ginny abandoned Clem’s greaser bouffant to discover equally relevant answers at the Worthly Womens School, learning from Miss Head new truths in recital halls, demitasse, and Descartes. It is a shame that Lisa Althers Ginny Babcock will be forever compared to Erica Jong’s Isadora Wing who did after all catalogue list after list of teenage neuroses, and ended up with an equally disastrous marriage. What makes Ginny more fascinating than Isadora is her range of experience which even the brassy Isadora only fantasized about. Ginny is more introspective and brooding and refrains from all of the self-congradulatory rhapsodies that Wing enjoyed. But whatever your prejudice, Ginny Babcock is a fascinating character. Whether it be from giving Blue Balls in Bibeland to riding Harleys with hoodlums and drinking home brew, Ginny will certainly put your own past histories into perspective.

(£0 *4) Z* CA • As Hitler’s Minister of Arms, Albert Speer was responsible for developing Germany as an “arsenal for Fascism!” He was also one of Hitler’s intimate associates, advising him on policy, and hence was one of the Third Reich’s infamous war criminals. For this he stood trial at Nuremburg and was sentenced to twenty years of imprisonment. During the time in prison he kept secret diaries, diaries that were eventually published in book form. Rather than writing a historical account that maybe cross documented to ascertain the accuracy of Speer s allegations, Speer has written a personal account ofhis experiences. Unfortunately the author rationalizes away far too much that is not immediately comprehensible and at the same time provides an often times too subtle examination of his own admitted criminality. The book’s highlights are reflected in Speer’s portraits of his ex-Nazi prison mates and his character study of Hitler.

She comes to New York City, to the world of glitter and fashion, with the hopes of finding her “man” and of course her happiness. After succeeding in herfirst endeavor, Lily learns that the formulas of the past do not necessarily add up to future love and roses. Her marriage fails, and she is unable to find that non descript element happiness. Lily questions herself, her total existence and perhaps this is the only real part of the entire book.

Gilbert Contributing Editor The Student Association (SA) is in trouble. Although club and service allocations rose dramatically this year over last, the mandatory fee monies that are expected to pay for them will probably not be available. The resulting gap can only be partially filled with $47,000 in surplus income, making it a virtual certainty that next year’s budget will be cut. Informed sources and an investigation by The Spectrum indicate both a shortfall this year of up to $20,000, and the need to slash next year’s budget by twice that amount, if not more. In a related matter, SA Treasurer Neil Seiden recently revealed that he probably will be forced to freeze the SA budget later in the semester, due to the slow influx of this semester’s fees. budget shortfall willforce cuts in SA budget said current Treasurer Seiden. “And we would most likely know about it by now, this late in the year.” Seiden said there was no way of determining how many students might not pay their fees. Enrollment plunge The heart of the problem is the in anticipated sudden drop revenue. This year’s projected mandatory fee income estimated last summer and based on last year’s enrollment statistics, is listed on SA’s computer budget printout as $913,832. But current enrollment figures obtained from the Office of Statistics in Hayes C indicate the actual fee income at only $871,616. 13,075 students have registered for both semester, down almost 800 from last year, and 618 full fee waivers have been granted, up several hundred from ’75—’76. “I don’t understand the increase,” commented Seiden. Assumed in the revised revenue estimate is that summer Anticipations lowered SA’s allocated budget this year enrollment will remain at last is almost $949,000. Anticipated year’s level, one which had been originally unaccountably above average. All however, revenues estimated at $990,000, will told, the drop in anticipated probably total no more than revenue is more than $42,000 $948,000, still leaving the illusion although the final amount will of a balanced budget. Predictions depend on the number of students of a shortfall are based on the who do not pay the fee, and on likelihood that many students the unknown number of summer may not pay their fee. “If [as an enrollees. example] only 200 students, for whatever reason, fail to pay their Some savings possible Forecasts are not all bad, bill, that is $13,400 we won’t get,” said former SA Treasurer however. With a lowered budget, Steve Blum berg in an interview disbursing expenses (the cost of last semester. Blum berg also raised handling the moneyO are less; in the possibility that expenses this case, two to three thousand leftover from last year will total may be saved. Secondly, last $20,000 more than is allowed for year’s leftover expenses, according in this year’s budget. “Last year’s to the Treasurer’s office, are running behind the surplus is mostly on paper,” he happily amount allocated for them in the asserted. “It hasn’t happened so far,” budget; and not ahead, «s was former predicted by once Treasurer Blumberg. Finally, it is not uncommon for some allocations to remain unspent, often thought they are counterbalanced by organizations that overspend. The exact chances of a deficit this year are therefore unknown; there is far too little information to be sure. In any case, the impact will be largely felt next year, should this possiblity come to pass, according to both of this year’s treasurers. Pessimistic regardless So the next year’s budget optimistic, is not situation regardless. Without the large and unless surplus income, enrollment picks up significantly, revenues next year may be only 871 in $900-$905 thousand mandatory fees and and an amount equivalent to $34,000 in “other income:” orientation fees, old bills finally paid to SA, and Coop loan possible Record — repayments. Since $948,000 is due to be will have to be large cuts for the next fiscal spent this year, there period, if the budget is to be brought into balance. An immediate note of hope is that a •$20,000 expenditure made this year to pay off a Record Coop debt (incurred when it was closed) is both a one-time allocation, not to be repeated next year, and eventually to be repaid. Seiden estimates that it will take at least five years, thus having a possible four-to-five thousand-dollar impact on the 1977—78 budget. With regard to a possible freeze of the budget later this semester, Seiden says the option will be exercised if “SA monies are being spent faster than fee monies come in from the administration, as they appear to be doing.” According to figures provided by Sub Board I Treasurer Arthur Lalonde, up until the last month of last semester, fee money arrival was down 15 percent from 1975-76. “The situation was caused by a $20—$30 thousand cut? lowering of the priority the But even without the Record adminstration gives us in Coop year’s disbursing the fee.

The SpECT^UM Vol. 27, No. 64 State University of New York at Buffalo Monday, 14 March 1977 GSA to cut $5000 off Sub Board budget In an uncirculated letter to Sub Board I Treasurer Arthur Lalonde, Jr., Graduate Student Association (GSA) Treasurer Mong Heng Tan announced last week, “This is to inform you that our [GSA’s] initial allocation of $40,000 to Sub Board I has been imperatively reconsidered. A new appropriation of $35,000 has been approved.” The move was made by the GSA Senate earlier in the year. Sub Board I is the incorporated student business which is responsible for most student-run enterprises on campus, including UUAB, Legal Aid Services, the Student Pharmacy, and all campus publications, including The Spectrum. Sub Board is primarily funded by the several student governments, but also generates substantial income itself in the form of ticket monies, etc. Clearly illegal Regarding the $5000 cut in GSA funding, Lalonde commented, “The action is clearly illegal. All student governments sign a contract with Sub Board, binding them to whatever amount they choose to allocate us at the beginning of each year. We plan our budget during the summer based on those figures.” But Mong Heng denied the claim. “I know of ho such contract. If there is one, I was never told about it by the previous [GSA] treasurer.” As to the need for the cut, Mong Heng gave two reasons. First, he said was a two thousand-dollar shortfall in surplus revenue from last year. “We expected $3000, and have received less than $700.” Second is a large decrease in enrollment causing sharply-lowered mandatory student fee, income. According to Hayes Hall statistics, 500 less graduate students registered this semester. As the student accountant, Sub Board is given all fee monies collected by the Bursar, later giving it to the respective student governments, who then fund Sub Board’s other functions. In actuality, Sub Board merely deducts its own allocation ($40,000 for GSA) before remitting the remaining fee money to the student governments. Given his opinion of the legality of GSA’s action, Lalonde was asked as to whether he would ignore the order to cut, and deduct the $40,000 anyway. “It wouldn’t matter if I did,” he said, “GSA will probably overspend $5000 this year and Sub Board will have to make up the difference. “To do that is an outrageous interference with our constitutional process,” Mong Heng asserted. According to Lalonde, should any unresolved dispute result from GSA’s action, it is ultimately up to the Vice President for Student Affairs Richard Siggelkow to decide. But Siggelkow, when asked of the possibility, declared, “The administration will most probably keep its hands clean of this affair. If they have some difficulty, they’ll have to take it to the courts.” Recognizes right to bargain SA won’t back GSEUstrike In its final meeting under the Schwartz administration, the Student Association (SA) recognized the Graduate Student officially Union’s (GSEU) right to bargain Employees collectively with- University administrators. SA, however, would not endorse the proposed GSEU strike and SA Executive Vice President Steve Spiegel GSEU members convene with the suggested incoming Delia administration to discuss the matter. The meeting was held Thursday in Haas Lounge. Not irresponsible Outgoing SA President Steve Schwartz opened the meeting by giving a small speech detailing what SA has and hasn’t accomplished this year, the problems still pending, and made recommendations to the new officers. He also commented on Michael Levinson’s proposal to replace stipends with course credit for students involved with student government. “It isn’t a bad idea,” Schwartz said, “but you wouldn’t get any quality students who could take 32 hours of classes taught by Lev.” SA also decided to file a civil suit against former Black Student Union (BSU) Treasurer John Lott, because of the $631 in BSU receipts which remain unsubstantiated. BSU President Walter Haddock explained he did not attempt to comply with the SA request that receipts be produced because Lott, who was in charge of finances, was expelled. Haddock further asserted that BSU will be able to present the missing receipts. “It’s not that we’re irresponsible or that we can’t count,” he said, “it was just a rebellious act.” A motion failed to have SA recommend to Ketter that Lott be allowed to return to campus for the purpose of meeting with SA representatives to substantiate the missing receipts. Student senator Dan Weisberg spoke of a report issued by the Student Association of the State University (SASU) concerning sending fourteen students’ to Albany for the purpose of talking to legislators about restoring TAP cuts. He said this could be the most important issue that SA has dealt with all year, and claimed “this is one battle we can’t afford to lose.” �A COLLEGE RING.

At a meeting Graduate Student with the Association (GSA), Somit said that at the present time the administration would not urge the Governor to recognize the GSEU as the bargaining agent of the graduate students. For the first half hour, Somit read prepared remarks concerning M//AU/ the the this full message. Somit emphasized that for the three years an increase in graduate stipends was the number one priority in budget requests by the University. The SUNY Cnetral administration saw this as such an important priority at the four past centers, according to Somit, that it was submitted as one major entry along with the SUNY Central budget, rather than four separate requests from each University center. AND STAFF THE STUDENT DIRECTORY will include reductions in several including the. Office of Student Affairs. Somit explained that the net effect of this year’s budget will be reductions in student services, adding that in the past three years, some 250 already been positions have eliminated on this campus. Tuition proposed The Assistance Plan (TAP) reduction will affect only those graduate students pursuing a masters degree in the fifth semester of study.

He said that last year President Robert Ketter promised to do everything in his power to the Univesity save State Scholarship (SUS) program at this University, but with the exception of the Las and Pharmacy schools, it was eliminated this year. Somit agreed that these were irrefutable facts, but added that he did not urge complacency at all, instread, he said, he wanted students to complain to their local legislators. Somit denied any plans to raise tuition $50 next year. He was then asked who bought the bonds for dormitory construction and responded that so far the State had already issued $320 million in bonds for the Amherst Campus and over $2 billion fo;the entire SUNY constructioprogram.

Page thre . �Analysis Gantz and Frye reappointed has created an atmosphere in which department members who are not in, Asante’s “inner camp” have virtually no say in departmental matters. Gantz said his initial impression of Asante was positive. He thought that due to Asante’s youthful and amiable manner, he would be a fair and progressive chairman. by Geri Weinstein, Elaine Levenstein and Gary Sammartano Professors Walter Gantz and Chairman” Gerald Frye were reappointed to the Speech Communication Department, causing even more turmoil within the already distressed department. Vice President for Academic Affairs Ronald Bunn_ reinstated the two professors despite the opposition of Speech Communication Chairman Molefi Asanti and Social Science Provost Arthur Butler, both of whom advocated termination. Asanti claims that Bunn’s decision to reappoint Frye and Gantz was racially based. “If I were white my decision not to recommend the reappointment of Frye and Gantz would not have been questioned," he said. Many department members feel the friction between those supporting Asante and those not supporting him has been detrimental to the department. An atmosphere of tension permeates the faculty preventing meetings and stifling growth, according to several faculty, and therefore they claim the quahty of education has been affected due to the diversion of faculty energies into personal struggles for survival. Within a month, Gantz said, his attitude reversed and he then viewed Asante as a dictatorial chairman. Gantz doesn’t fit Gantz said the charges against him included “being arrogant with students, having low enrollment in his classes and not fitting in with the long range goals of the Department.” He contested these accusations, saying “his enrollment in graduate classes was average and in undergraduate classes was better than average. Gantz later said that Asante’s decision to suddenly alter departmental goals, by deemphasizir.g the area of Communication was a “way to get him out.” He also felt that arrogance should not be the scie determinant in judging the competance of a professor. One department member suggested that Asante’s relationship with the prominent black legislator Arthur Eve has served as a source of power in Asante’s handling of departmental matters. Butler responded that such a charge is totally unfounded and that there was “no way” that Eve was involved. Asante does not wish to publically disclose this file because “Asante is too much of a gentleman.” Some critics aid Asante attempted changes too quickly, which caused discomfort among the faculty. However, one faculty member said that, Associate Professor Gerald Goldhauber was a “manipulative man who desired Asante’s position.” This individual observed that persuasive tatics were used to sway support away from Asante. Another department member indicated that Asante does attempt to correspond with his faculty through memos which are frequently ignored. He added that Asante has a reputation for helping minority students, but not at the expense of academic standards. The conflict within the department makes students hesitant of signing up for courses with certain professors for fear of alienating an opposing professor, according to several faculty members. Associate Professor Charles Petrie said “that an administrator’s function is to administrate and that faculty and students in combination should make decisions. He added that Asante constantly reminds the department that he is the boss, that he makes the decisions, and that it is within his rights to make these decisions. He then charged, “My reputation has been slandered and I have been accused of being a racist and a poor professor.” Advantage lost Petrie was on the Search Committee that had been charged with the responsibility of selecting a Chairman. He felt at that time that Asante would be sensitive to the Frye a net loss problems of the department because he was a black who Frye said the University has lost money on him during had worked his way up through the ranks. He said, “I the last eight months, due to the personal battle he has thought this would work to our advantage. It turned out waged to save his job. “It is simply a matter of Asante that his bias is to be dictatorial.” being completely incompetent as chairman in the area of There are indicators that support Asante, has certain Professor Robert Porter said Asante has not received academic standing,” he explained. rewards such as the opportunity to teach summer sessions, cooperation from himself or the faculty. “You can blame Frye cited an incident where Asante called for the chances for grants that are given out by the Chairman, it on Asante for causing the mistrust in the first place, he elimination of standardized testing as criteria for admission teacher assistants, monetary allotments for research and claimed.” “Or you can say everyone’s fault that the it is trips to conventions. to the department.

In the past we have refrained from making any response to these articles which we felt incendiary, erroneous and slanderous. However, inasmuch as we have been asked by The Spectrum editors to make a statement we have decided that it is time to speak out. Our main concern is and always has been the interest of our students, any response to these articles which we felt were incendiary, erroneous and slanderous. However, inasmuch as we have been asked by The Spectrum editors to make a statement we have decided that it is time to speak out." Our main concern is and always has been the interest of our astudents. Any statement in the student press prior to this time would have simply added to a debate which should have been contained inhouse. Our graduate students replied to the charges made in several of The Spectrum articles last year.We appreciated their support but still maintained our silence as a matter of professional ethics. Any personnel recommendations which have come out of this department have been based on academic considerations. In one of the recent recommendations for termination of a faculty member our department’s vote was negative, the chairperson’s recommendation was negative, the Provost’s recommendation was negative, and the acting vice-president’s recommendation was negative. Vice President Ronald Bunn decided to overturn those recommendations and reappoint. In the other case the faculty voted to reappoint, the chairperson, using his perogative, recommended termination, and the Provost recommended termination. Vice President Bunn Recommended reappointment. In our judgment factors such as political motives, racism, anti-feminism, and negativism have blurred the academic considerations. It would not be possible to enlarge upon the innuendoes, anonymous racist literature, and backdoor councils without bringing further notoriety to our department because it will reveal the personal and professional unethical activities of some members of our department.

Volkert, a realtor, disclosed his decision in a letter to Thomas Mackinnon. In taking himself out of the mayoral picture, Volkert said in an interview with the Buffalo Evening News that the prospects of his party electing a mayor in November were dim. “The only possibility that a Republican mayoral candidate could hope for is that- the makeup of the Democratic independent states would be in such a disarray that it would cause a great division among the voters.” He also mentioned that the economical position of the Erie GOP organization, asserting it “cannot render the support necessary for a candidate to be able to put forth the concentrated energy needed for a vigorous campaign.’’ Are you planning to go to LAW SCHOOL?

As a part of an international protest, this demonstration will express our dismay with the Canadian Government’s approval and maintenance of the seal slaughter in which 170,000 BABY Harp seals are doomed to tire clubs of the Canadian and Norwegian sealers. v It is the philosophy of BARC that no industry has the right to needlessly kill animal life. With regard to the seal kill, it is outrageous to us that the Canadians would conduct the merciless hunt.

There’s a brown mist at the top of the Pennsylvania Aenue elms where buds are swelling. As Jimmy Carter prepares for his latest spectacular, a walk down Fifth Avenue in New York on St. Patrick’s day this week, it’s nice to reflect that the crocuses are out again in Washington—they compensate for a lot of things. It was like this 44 years ago when another administration took over, Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal. But the mood was different. It was a Saturday, March 4, 1933; 13 million Americans were out of work and every bank in the country was closed. It’s a pity, in a way, that Mr. Carter couldn’t come over to the Mayflower Hotel on the eve of his two-hour White House “call-in” amazing Grand Reunion. Vice President performance. Mondale was supposed to come at 8 in place of Grand Reunion. Vice president Mondale' was supposed to come at 8 in place of the president to make a 5-minute speech, and the menu was adjusted from hot soup to fruit cup to accommodate an expected delay. But Fritz didn’t show either nor was there any formal White House message and Hubert Humphrey filled the gap Who were these amiable gaffers who spoke from the podium or hailed each other with a laugh and a sigh? They were the Hamilton Jordans, the Jack Watsons, the Stu Eizenstats of yesterday—Ben Cohen and Tommy the Cork, Rex Tugwell and Ewan Clague, Grace Tully and Jim Rowe and Leon Keyserling, once unfamiliar names who were feared, and debated, and analyzed by an anxious at the time. There were nearly 900 in the glittering ballroom. Will there be a reunion like this 44 years hence in 2021, and what will they say of Jimmy Carter then? For the sake of historical continuity and for what he might have soaked up through his pores, it is a pity that he didn’t look in before he faced the telephone callers the next day. “We are now in a time of national crisis once again,” said Ben Cohen to the crowd; “the time is ripe for a new New Deal.” He told of Roosevelt’s electrifying Fireside Chat, as he searched for that same mystical rapport with the people that Carter is seeking now: Walter Lippmann, originally a critic, wrote in wonder, “In one week, the nation, which had lost confidence in everything and everybody, has regained confidence in the government and in itself.” Could he get on with Congress? Here, for FDR, there was never any doubi. He called it into special session Thursday, March 9. That day he sent up an emergency bill to reopen the banks, pledging Federal credit. The House passed it unanimously after 40 minutes as members called “Vote! Vote!” In the Senate in white-faced rage Carter Glass heard Huey Long try in vain to amend it. It passed, 73 to 7. Roosevelt signed it an hour later. There were strong characters in those days, as Roosevelt’s labor-protection and welfare laws took shape. For no good reason 1 got to thinking about a familiar figure, John L. Lewis, head of the CIO. He was like a Shakespearian actor; the only figure in public life 1 ever knew who could rumble deep from his insides at the beginning of his speech a portentous, “Methinks,” and get away with it. I have known several forsoothers in my experience, but Lewis was the only me-thinker. Stooped and quavery, but eloquent still, Ben Cohen told the crowd what it already knew, “For most of us our New Deal years were the best years of our lives.” He ended with words which he said FDR added in his own handwriting to the last draft of a speech prepared for a Jefferson Jackson Dinner—words which, because of his death, were never delivered. “The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today. Let us move forward with strong and active faith.” The times are not as overwhelming now as 44 years ago and in a way that makes it harder as well as easier for President Carter. There is no banking crisis that he can conquer by a wave of his hand. He won by a narrow margin and did little to put individual Democratic Congressmen into his debt. He is still unfamiliar to the public, but that unfamiliarity is disappearing rapidly. The two-hour telephone call-in performance, despite all the advance doubts expressed in this column, was a personal triumph. The president showed a simplicity, courtesy and sympathy in dealing with unrehearsed random questions that was arresting, and a quiet self-confidence that was even a little frightening. This chief executive has grasped the throttle of power without any doubt and knows how to reach the public, if he has to, over the heads of Congress. Yet there are reservations still. After the telephone performance Mr. Carten said, “I like it. The questions that came in from the people all over the country are the kind that you would never get in press conferences. The news people would never raise them, like the Ottawa Indian question.” This is certainly true, as the White House press conference with reporters Wednesday-promptly last demonstrated. Dialing a president about a denial of veterans’ benefits, if you are one of the lucky 42 who get through as 9 million try, is a public relations smash. It helps in the business of government, too, to the degree that the President’s demeanor inspires confidence. But it is all medium and no message. It is not the tough professional give-and-take over major issues that arises at a press conference. It is, rather, the kindly response of a father to his children. This is so even when the questions are evidently critically inspired. They deepen the presidential personality cult. There is a hunger to trust the president, to believe in the office, to suspend judgment, to reverence the shrine. It is a little unfair to raise these matters when Jimmy Carter is so evidently sincere and carries off the feat so agreeably, but soon showmanship must yield to real battles. It is questionable whether Roosevelt could have put over the New Deal with a staff as inexperienced and provincial as Carter’s. Some of them seem to regard Congress as a kind of Georgia legislature. FDR’s gnome-like secretary, Louis Howe, was born in Indianapolis, Marvin McIntyre in Kentucky, Steve Early in Virginia, Bill Hassett in Northfield, Vt., Rex Tugwell in New York. By contrast the Carter staiff is extraordinarily homogenous, with a relatively narrow "viewpoint, and power apparently gravitating to Hamilton Jordan. They are quick learners, fortunately, and are beginning to feel that instead of being anti-Establishment they are now the Establishment.

This season has been the biggest turnout of players ever, with 30 teams competing, and approximately 20 players on a team. To keep the games competitive' and fair, the teams were broken down into 2 leagues. The A league consisted of all male players who were quite competent in skating and in most cases had played hockey in competition before and there was a lot of spirit and proficient stick handling in this league. The B league consisted of teams that were more interested in the recreational aspect of the sport. Quite a few of the players were beginning skaters and quite a few had not even played the game before, but this did not dampen their spirits. “Some of the B league players skated like they were in the Stanley Cup Playoffs,” said Jack Kaminska, director of "intramural hockey. There were also two women involvedJn the B league, down from five from last year. The women were good skaters and could really hold their own on the ice,” Kaminska said. The with Bowling Green University marked his best effort. “Even though we lost 10-0 in that second Bowling Green game, I blocked an awful lot Of shots, which I like to do.” Koeppel, the offensive leader amongst the blueliners, had little difficulty in remembering his best games. He cited the two games the Bulls played in the Elmira Tournament, and there is little wonder why. Both he and Scaringi were named to the Tournament All-Star Team, quote an honor for the freshman Koeppel. “Playing in the Elmira Tournament with Scaringi was just tremendous. We beat Oswego 6-4, and I remember I scored the winning goal on a power play,” said Koeppel. r— set up two others, including the game winner by Ray “Tuffy” Gruarin. “The was Union game definitely the high point of the season.

While the Union game was the high point for the team, each of the players had their own feelings regarding their individual- best performance. Gemmer’s best Gemmer felt that the season’s finale was his “finest hour,” despite the fact that the team lost 4-3, and yielded 52 shots on goal. “The last game of the season against Western Michigan was the best game I played all year.” Gemmer’s support Statistics belief, and of special note is a two on one break that Gemmer broke up with a clever poke check. “The Lake Forest game was the best for me,” commented Trumpfheller. “Paul (Pitman) and I must’ve had eight points between us, and they didn’t get very many shots on our net.” Actually, the two defensive partners combined for six points and allowed the Foresters just 23 chances to score, enabling goaler John Moore to register his first shutout of the season. the final is team is best. answered which question to be Tomorrow night in the Tonowanda Sports Center, As For Pitman, a 10-0 drubbing at hands of nationally ranked Sweet revenge That first game, a 5-4 victory, marked the first time that Union College had ever been defeated by a Division II team. The victory was sweet for a variety of reasons, aside from the fact that it was a win over a divisional rival. For starters, the victory provided revenge for the Bulls, revenge they had been seeking for over a year. Last season, a mass brawl erupted between the two teams which saw Scaringi taken to the hospital for a concussion after being smashed in the head by the stick of one of Union’s wingers. One of the major contributors to the melee was Wright sets them right Dutchmen coached Ned Harkness, With the exception of Koeppel, who was on the ice ostensibly to the entire frosh rear guard was check on an injured player, but 'scouted and contacted by Bulls who somehow managed to be Coach Ed Wright late last year. exchanging shoves with Scaringi.

They all got to play in the game, and played well. Scaringi scored the Bulls’ first goal and Koeppel INTRAMURALS by David Kaplan the any competitive sport, the answers should be provided. Possibly the best team in the league is the Dents at 6-0, which consists of dental students and faculty. They finished first in the regular season last year but lost in the finals of the playoffs. This year they will try to win it all. The team centers around Eddie Ambis who played three varsity seasons at Cornell. The win will not be easy, however. Dent’s opponents, the Bunnies, (5-1) are a tough, well balanced team. The main cog of their machine is their goalie, Larry Amoros. The Bunnies are the underdogs, but it should be a good fight to stop the Dents. Four teams from the B league are in the finals. Perhaps the best are the Jawortniks (6-0), who will play the Birdie Bay Bombers (4-0-1). The Flying Porpoises (6-0-1) will play Pharmacy (4-0-1).

Buffalo Blades last season, and suggested to Pitman that Wright could help him out at this University. With Geneseo State College as his only other choice for post-secondary education, Wright’s influence was all that Pitman needed to become a student at Buffalo. Likewise, MacLean, Vesona and the rest of the crew were initially contacted by the Bulls’ coach, and he convinced them that this is where they belonged. Koeppel on the other hand, was already a registered student at Buffalo when he was told about a meeting for the varsity hockey team, and the rest, as they say, is history. He walked onto the team and into a starting job. Although many of the Bulls’ top performers are graduating this year, the entire defense corps should be around for the next four years, and that is good news for Buffalo hockey. After all, it would be very hard to find such a bumper crop of defensemen all over again. — ODD COUPLE AUDITIONS Monday March 14, at 6 pm in 231 Norton Monday, March 14, at 8 pm 325 Fillmore (Ellicott Complex) OR CALL 831-5112 Dan Brock UUAB — — AUJ1U30JJ OpSTCAl GRAND OPENING) HEADQUARTERS FOR • • • I , - CONTACT LENS SUPPLIES EMERGENCY REPAIRS THE LATEST IN EYEWEAR OPENING SPECIALS for Faculty & Students 1. fitting of hard contact lenses $100.00 2. fitting of soft contact lenses $200.00 3. tinting of plastic lenses $5.00 4. of glass lenses $6.00 *vacuum coating, including "mirror" tint - 13 2 5 MILLERSPORT HWY.

For one thing, every decision they make seems to have the attitude that the students here exist for. the Administration’s benefit, instead of the Administration existing for the student’s benefit. The recent controversy about lack of space in the new Norton Hall for students is a perfect example. You can' be sure that the Administrators will get all the space they need. I dare 'any administrator to come out and say, “1 am working in the student’s interest” And if any administrator does, then I say prove it; what have you done to see that students get the space in the new union that they require? And while I’m on the subject, let’s discuss the business of funds for the Amherst Campus. The legislature, as I was always taught, had the power to spend tax review, it appropriated money for construction of the Amherst Campus. The Division of the Budget (DOB) has refused to spend it. What right does DOB have to hold up this money? Oh, I’m sure it has some legal right, but DOB has no elected officials (as the legislature does, and DOB is making a farce of the democratic of government by concept consent of the governed.

National Marijuana Commission, the American Bar Anderson refused to support a similar bill during last Association, the National Education Association, the year’s election year session, but the Oneonta State National Council of Churches and the governing Times reports Anderson’s office as saying that the board of the American Medical Association as Senate may “very possibly” accept decriminalization supporters of decriminalization.

The proposed bill would remove jail penalties also remove severe penalties for small sales, is and substitute fines up to $100 for possession of up awaiting action in Congress.

The cost to the state is put between recognition ofwidespread marijuana use. $50 and $60 million. said that “the best argument Another Democrat by Susan Westling Special to The Spec trum by Larry Amoros Special to The Spectrum — Two-step hike Collective bargaining accord to raise professional salaries by Laurie Harris Special to The Spectrum After 15 months of collective (SASU) bargaining, a tentative agreement has been reached between the state and United University Professions (UUP) calling for a two-step pay hike in 1977-78. The agreement provides for a varying percentage increase depending on members’ base annual salary on September Leonard Kershaw, assistant director for the State Department of Employee Relations, said “If it is approved, appropriations will be made through the supplemental budget or by submitting a bill to the state legislature.” The contract also provides special considerations when a layoff takes place; recognizes librarians as faculty with full academic status; keeps those visiting professors and lecturers on a preferred list for placement in other capacities when job openings occur; and provides for improved grievance procedures, according to the UUP spokesman in - 1. Albany. range of increases is reported by the Associated Press to be from five to one-half percent in the lowest ranks down to three percent for those at the top. Those members at the higher pay scales will receive a greater raise than those at the bottom. The Criticism Buffalo UUP representative Dr. Charles Fall said that an individual earning between $6000-$6999 will receive $330 more; those between $10,000 and $10,999 will receive $550 more; someone in the $15,000 range will receive $710 more; those between $20,000-$20,999 will receive $840 more; those in the $25,000 range will receive $930 more; and those earning $30,000 and more will receive an extra $1,350. The second half of the raise is a base salary increase of either $300 or $250, to be effective April 1, 1978. Those who will receive $300 are professors, associate professors, associate librarians, PR-4’s and PR-3’s. The $250 will go to assistant professors, instructors, senior assistant librarians, PR-l’s and PR-2’s. By the time both increases have been handed out, a worker now receiving $7000 will have received a total increase of 10.5 percent; an individual at $15,000 will receive 7 percent more; a person now earning $25,000, about 5 percent; and those at the highest salary ranges, slightly under 4 percent. The Oneonta chapter president of UUP said that he will support ratification of the contract. He would have liked the union to have provided within the agreement an “orderly salary schedule” for employees. “Few university systems don’t have salary schedules and this adds to the confusion within ours,” he said. The spokesman criticized the salary level increase in April because “it actually is an increase for 5 months, not for the entire year. A person will only receive five-twelfths of $300 or $250 for their annual salary.” Urtiversity of Buffalo senior goaltender John Moore began Working out with the Buffalo Sabres of the National Hockey League (NHL) this past Wednesday and will continue to do so for the remainder ot the Sabres’ 1977 campaign. “Basically, I’m practicing with the Sabres, and will be throughout the course of this year. I’ve been given a chance to go to [training] camp with them next fall,” said the ex-Bull netminder. Should Moore play well during the course of this year and again at Sabres’ camp in September, then he stands a reasonable chance of the to the NHL. making it The opportunity arose through the efforts of Bulls' hockey coach Ed Wright and Sabres’ scout John Anderson, who had conferred with one another for the past few weeks. Anderson eventually went to Sabres’ General Manager George “Punch” Imlach with a good report. Moore was told that he would be the Sabres’ third goalie behind hurt then there’s a chance Don Edwards and Bob Sauve. If and serve as backup'. that Moore will dress Moore said of his first practice Wednesday. “I nervous,” was “1 mean here’s these people who I’ve seen on tv and here 1 am sitting across the dressing room from them. I got there [the practice] early, and the players came over and introduced themselves. They were all really nice, from [Sabres’ coach] Floyd Smith down on to all the guys. They tried to make me feel at home,” explained Moore. “The biggest difference [between college and professional hockey] is the speed of the game. Of course, guys like Rick Martin can shoot, but in college you had a second to set yourself; here, if you.hestitate the puck’s past you.” The Sabres currently have three goaltenders on the roster; Gerry Desjardins, presently sidelined with an eye injury; rookie sensation Edwards; and Sauve, a first-round draft pick two seasons ago. It is not , likely that the Buffalo brass would bypass a first round pick for someone just out of college. It is more probable that Moore, providing he plays well, will be dispatched to one of the Sabres’ minor league affiliates to gain experience. Moore admitted that he has a lot to learn. A graduate of Leamington School in Delhi, Ontario, Moore played in 90 games for the Bulls, and set numerous Buffalo goaltending records in the process.

They just “mean” what they mean to an individual who fabricates (“sees”) a meaning there. And now we’re in an even wofse condition for talking. Solomons disavows any intention in his work other than to deal says with “motion, mainly.” Yet personal meanings do or assert creep in, rather themselves with various degrees of vigor. For instance, Solomons was at one time an arefittec't; he spoke of the interesting architecture of the Ellicott Complex and how it may have influenced his thinking day; movement that on passive as choreographer stimulant-receptor translating “life experience” into “dancing.” In this sense, it is possible to speak of a range of meaning conditioned by everything from his cup of coffee in the morning to the Zeitgeist itself. It’s not likely that in the trio for two men and a woman, Solomons was dealing with, say, the coming election in India. Meaning, the meaning fabricated by the young woman sitting next to me at her first dance concert, the meaning seen by the newspaper reviewer in the back row, is conditioned. What Solomons seems to have done then, is an ideological gesture of sorts: he isn’t going to worry about his conditioning. • To exist is all “I’ve got nothing profound to say,” he said, and the Cornell Theater audience applauded, not sarcastically, but rather with the sense that we have all had enough soul rending, soul exposing, soul searing, and that it is possible to see with a renewed directness and simplicity. “The problem,” writes Jill Johnston of Cunningham, “was to accept the human state in its simple condition of existing. To walk across the stage the way one walks across a street, or to stand still the way one stands- when there is no place to go, seemed like a bad way to be human. The cultural burden is too much with us. Walking across the street is not enough. There has to be a goal on the other side. Where are we going and what are we doing?” Dancing here is no longer acting, in the sense of imposing a meaning, a role that needed to be translated into a presence. The role doesn’t exist; it’s just the dancer now, moving the way one moves when there is no place to go and there is a movement concept to realize moment to moment, so that it’s not even just the dancer, it’s the movement. “How long does it take to do —continued on page 4-* « �Family Planning and Pregnancy Counseling by Denise Stumpo Spectrum Staff Writer Somewhere on campus is a woman who thinks she might be pregnant. Afraid to admit it to herself or others, she pushes the possibility to the back of her mind where it lurks, casting uncertainty over her days and young’ nights. “What really frightens me is that she may not understand how it happened,” sayd Ellen Foley, who feels that ignorance and about birth misconceptions control abound even today. Ellen is director of the Family Planning Center (Birth Control Clinic) at 356 Squire (Norton) Hall. Sharing the same office space is the Human Sexuality (Pregnancy whose Counseling)- Center, co-directors Jamie Westfall and Stephanie Aronow report, “A lot of our pregnancies are ill-informed about how they got that way.” Both services were formed to help students in dealing with their sexuality. They opened up under the funding of Community Action Corps (CAC) in 1971, when lack of proper facilities saw counselors performing pregnancy tests in the office. In 1974, the Family Planning and Human Sexuality Centers became part of the University Health Care Division and were taken under Sub-Board’s wings. Dedication The directors are not exactly happy about the euphemistic titles; “Family Planning” and “Human Sexuality.” “Two years ago we tried to assert ourselves as Birth Control and Pregnancy Counseling,” recounts Jamie, “but the Board of Directors didn’t go for it. They don’t want it to sound like students are getting pregnant or receiving birth control University.” To at the compensate, the preferred names are put in parentheses after the official ones. “We don’t want to it and threaten our push existence,” explains Stephanie. “It’s vital that we stay open.” This air of dedication seems to pervade the offices which are staffed by volunteer counselors, all of them students. Applicants are interviewed each semester and chosen according to their level of commitment. “We look for objective, empathetic people,” Jamie says. “It would be difficult to have a counselor who is either anti- or emphatically pro-abortion.” Counselors are required to attend several training sessions including those in Anatomy, Physiology. Hormone Fertilization, Birth Cycles, Control Methods, Abortion, Pregnancy, Sexuality and Health, and Techniques Counseling Rape/Sexual Assault. “Last semester we paid Planned Parenthood $500 to come in and train our counselors, but this year we’re doing it ourselves,” says Jamie, adding proudly. “We are as The Spectrum is published Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the academic year and on Friday only summer by The during the Spectrum Student Periodical, Inc.

Circulation average: 15,000 well trained as we possibly can be without being professionals.” It takes two The two Services have a combined force of 71 counselors, twelve of them male. While frequent calls and visits are made by men, the majority of the centers’ dealings are with women, a fact which puts them on the defensive. “We are accused of being in existence only for women,” states Stephanie, “which of course is ridiculous. It takes two to tango. For every female we deal with directly, we reach a male indirectly.” Anyone who comes in the offices is welcome to an array of free pamphlets and booklets covering virtually all aspects of sexuality. While only equipped for short-term crisis counseling, the centers offer resources and referrals in many areas, including sterilization, child Care, gynecology, medicaid, obstetrics and artificial insemination. The Control Clinic and Birth Pregnancy Counseling undergo a supervision bi-weekly by Center Harriman Drop-In counselors, who are professionals. “It’s part of our educational program,” explains Jamie. “They keep us updated on counseling techniques.” Minimal costs Department. Difficult position Approximately 600 women had pregnancy tests on campus last year. When a woman comes in for a test, she is counseled privately on symptoms, date of her last period, etc. and then given a test tube in which to collect a urine sample. If she brings the sample along with $4 to the lab in Michael Hall before 10 a.m. the next day, she can receive the test "We results that afternoon. appointment an and require counseling session to give out the results,” informs Stephanie. “People resent the fact that we won’t give them over the phone. But we can’t chance it we run a confidential service.” totally About 50 percent of the tests — Both services stress that they completely confidential. are “Still, the old attitudes about sex keep people from coming in,” says Stephanie. Ellen agrees: “There’s a lot of denial going on. Women think if they don’t use birth control, then sex is unplanned, and therefore not a source of guilt, she said. Jamie feels that it is harder to get women to come in for a pregnancy test. “Then they have to say to themselves and us, ‘Not only did I have sex, 1 was foolish about it.’” Some 800-1000 students come to the clinic each semester to seek a birth control method. First they must attend an introductory class in which counselors explain basic reproductive anatomy, the pelvic exam and methods of birth control. The classes are limited to eight persons, allowing for a relaxed and personal atmosphere. “I thought the class was very good,” said one freshman. “I’m sure some resented it but it was good for the rest who didn’t know a lot about birth control.” Clinics are run according to demand, up to four nights a week at Michael Hall. Seven dollars is required to cover the cost of the exam. The women are counseled individually on their medical history, and what method is best NOW! prove negative. What if the test reveals a pregnancy?“We ask her what she plans to do. We present her with all sides,of the situation, and give her names of doctors and agencies to see,” says Stephanie, stressing, “Ours is a purely informative and supportive role; we do rot take part in the decision making.” Misconceptions The majority of positives choose to have an abortion. “WeTe caught in a double bind situation,” relates Jamie. “We don’t want people to think we’re an abortion clinic or pro-abortion, yet because we serve a university, we are involved mostly with abortion referrals.” Eighty percent of an abortion cost is cbvered under Student Health Insurance (SHI) if the woman has already received $100 worth of services through the plan. This would pay $128 of the average $160 abortion.

The program, which already has begun and is scheduled to run through April 15, is headquartered in the Legal Aid office, Room 340, Squire Hall. Tax forms will be filed Monday through Friday from 1-5 p.m. and Tuesdays until 7:30 p.m. When asked how the program was working, Scott Sklar, Legal and Welfare Coordinator for CAC replied, “It’s working well so far with a good turnout, but we expect a lot more as it gets closer to April.” Forms will be filed by student volunteers who have been trained by the IRS at no cost to the University. Programs such as this will be in operation throughout the city as the result of the federal government’s plan to make free tax return service accessible to the people who can’t afford the high cost of —. accountants. ■ ■ CAC is also in the planning stage of instituting a hot line in accordance with the Erie County Holding Center. The line would be a special number a person could call if he or she was arrested. C AC would then contact a lawyer, the bondsman and the parents of the prisoner. This special line would be open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and would be in constant touch with the Erie County Bar Association. Sklar said, “The holdup is getting together with the bondsman to prove the prisoner a good risk.” He also made it clear that there is A desperate need for volunteers to man the phones once the program is instated.

The State Department of Transportation promised full consideration of socio-economic and environmental factors in making transportation concerning construction of the Expressway. According to Pat Giagmacova, Program Coordinator for the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, “The expressway will not be going through a virgin forest; the area in which it will be located has already experienced sufficient urbanization and environmental degradation. Construction of the expressway will have minimal environmental impact on existing conditions.” Giagmacova also explained that the expressway will not go through the wet lands situated around Ellicott Creek as originally planned. The expressway will circumvent the wet lands in accordance with the “Wet Lands Preservation Act” of 1975. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation claims that “although highways present a direct conflict with wildlife, their development can create areas that are both biologically productive and visually attractive.” The Town of Amherst, the New York State Urban Development -Corporation (UDC), and this University’s administrative boards have overwhelmingly growth projections for both the Amherst Campus and the UDC Audobon projections for the Amherst area and the geometrical inadequacies of existing roadways. On the other hand, the Amherst Conservation Advisory Council feels that the expressway is no longer necessary due to the severe drop in growth projections for both the Amherst Campus and the UDC Audabon Community. Their chief environmental concern is the noise High pollution the expressway will inflict on nearby Sweet Home School and Willow Ridge Elementary. The State Department of Transportation has said that the installation of a 200 foot-wide “buffer strip” between the proposed pavement edge and the right-of-way line may limit traffic noise impacts of in these localities. They also claimed that the total annual emissions nitrogen of from and oxides hydrocarbons, monoxide, carbon expressway traffic will have little or no significant impact on the environment. The Lockport Expressway will eventually be coordinated with the proposed Niagara Frontier “Metro” Rapid-Transit System and the Regional Bus Transit Network. Federal Capital funds in the amount of $269 million have already extending been approved for construction of a light rail transit system to Buffalo downtown in the Memorial Auditorium 6.4 miles between been so the Main Street Campus.

Whatever may be the merits of the position presented by Gilbert Lawrence in Monday’s The of the University Spectrum, the refusal administration to allow examination of the “Spiegel” hearing transcript is inexcusable. The racial charges resulting from that incident are by themselves sufficient to give the University community the right to know the full story, and the transcript is vital to that right. But clearly a policy of full disclosure is alien to an administration that operates in constant fear of its own shadow. We should realize by this time not to expect more from the Hayes Hall bureaucrats who can’t even muster enough intelligence and competence to defend the University and its programs to officials in Albany. Mitchell Regenbogen Big-time politics The Israel To the Editor. Behold, O students, the clouds of the heavens have parted, and our candidates have appeared, ready to shoulder our burdens, for a fee. It seems as if big-time politics has overtaken U.B. with a tour-de-force. Firstly, what are the S.A. guidelines as to the permissable distance that an election advertisement may be from a voting booth? From my observations, it seems that there are none at ail, banners are located directly for in Porter around the corner from the booth, while at the Student Club some signs were on the wall not more than two feet from the booth. Whatever the reasons, they are not excusable. Some sort of isolation is necessary, or we might as well have flashing neon “Vote me into Office” signs surrounding the polls. Certainly, I can proclaim myself a vigilante and go on a sign-destroying crusade, but preventative medicine seems more attractive. Secondly, there is an old maxim that goes, “It takes money to make money.” In light of the multitude of printed pamphlets, posters, and even campaign “newspapers,” where is this money coming from? If S.A. is distributing money, it certainly doesn’t look very even. On the other hand, if the money is coming out of the candidates’ pockets, should the one with the biggest budget win?

Sub Board One, inc. is the student owned and operated educational purposes corporation that sees itself as a cross between Scrooge and a caraciture of Uncle Sam that comes out looking dirty old man saying, “We don’t exactly throw your money around.” What these so called corporate managers do do is give people like S.F. Abscond the opportunity to go and give the students’ $67.50 activities fee away to their friends and colleagues as they see fit. Accroding to their whim. This is what Smart Fart Abscond the 1977 appointed Asst. Treasurer of Sub Board One, Inc. did. To make a long dull sad story short right before Christmas vacation, fhe present holier than thou student administrator assistant treasurer of Sub Board One, Inc. took it upon himself to award various stipended coordinators in Norton Union a little extra Xmas bonus (average $40) because after all that’s benevolent power. Politics as it’s played in - Norton Hall. Did you know the president of S.A. gets $2000 a year salary right off the top of the activities fee for getting elected president of the S.A. His student parking sticker is number one. This is more obscene than Hustler magazine, the way SUNYAB S.A. leaders are hustled and hustle their brethren. Obviously an S.A. nebbish getting a $2000 salary out of the student activities fee will be loth to prosecute a fellow traveler for giving away $400 to those people Smart Fart felt deserved it. Just as Rich Korman, the $1850 per year editor-in-chief of The Spectrum is loth to print this and looked ahead with his newspaper editorship to secure himself a position next year with Jack Anderson. Instead of putting out a decent newspaper he suppressed local talent, student’s political efforts and important historical writings relevant to our time and the University. Rich Korman respects the SUNYAB community so much he fills his Spectrum almost exclusively with College Press Service drivel written in Colorado and “Punk News by New York Jews.” A question presents itself that is purcursor to the issue at hand. Is S.F. Abscond the same asst, treasurer of Sub Board who tried to purchase (under the table) for $5000, the one lone house owned by the ‘now defunct. SUNYAB Students’ Housing Corporation, Scholastic Housing, Inc. This was a house the students paid around $25,000 for!! Is this not the very same Smart Fart Abscond and if it is why then (last summer) didn’t the corporation’s board members (students) and if not them, then the executive director, who is employed by the board to manage and run the day to day affairs of the corporation, recognize the high blown stink that was before their eyes and emanating from the hoary mouth of Smart Fart Abscond. And where was the corporation’s $17,000 per year executive director (paid from where else? the activities fee!) when these unauthorized Christmas bonus checks were written as his $17,000 per year signature appears on these checks. If a student appointee of the corporation takes it upon himself to set his own policies and award student monies as he saw fit the laws and that state’s guidelines are both clearly being broken because we are talking about corporate embezzelment. Would you want to hire a guy like S.F. Abscond to be the comptroller of your corporation? He might not like the way you part your hair or your race, color, religion holier than thou might come in some morning and walk off with $100,000 or just quietly milk you over a 20 year period. It’s a short sad painful ugly story that we are producing here at SUNYAB. The next generation of Haldemans and Erlichmans and S.F. Abscond is one of them. S.F. Abscond is the same student who negotiated with Dr. Ketter over the Record Co-op, and during that time kept the students from ever legally assembling to discuss the matter. S.F. Abscond sold the Record Co-op concept down the drain in Dr. Ketter’s office; and cancelled UUAB’s movies last year, and cancelled out an edition of New World Orchestra by giving $400 in Christmas bonuses to his friends. And do we want to graduate him? Fact of the matter is, the Student Judiciary is going to get this case to determine the accuracy in depth of these charges (was it $400 or $600?). But before they prosecute S.F. Abscond should be given the opportunity to resign (instead of his record showing dismissal) and most importantly the money should be replaced. - — Lev, The Cosmic Wrapper Michael Stephen Levinson �m mg H —Vazquez Bonnie Rcritt Entertainer down to earth enough to include audience in her performance by Barbara Komansky Spectrum Music Staff No doubt Bonnie Raitt is one of the only widely received women performers in rock today to name Robert Johnson as one of her important influences. In her performance Sunday at Shea's Buffalo, the fact that she was a student of the style of this great bluesman was evident. It was also evident that since her blues-dominated inception, she has gracefully, gradually expanded into every style, from R&B to reggae, to straight folk to rock and roll. Her largest influence at this point seems to be Jackson Browne, and her show Sunday night reflected that and many others of the idiom. Her expertise on the bottleneck is admirable and especially rewarding to see in a woman performer. But this does not discount her vocal agility. Bonnie demonstrated her mastery of ballads as never before, and is as vibrant as on her blues delivery. Despite this talent, though, she obviously still prefers to rock out in concert. Her trademark, an old hollow-body gibson, received a good work-out on the majority of the numbers. The first two numbers, "I Can't Make Love" and "Good Enough" were perfect examples of what Ms. Raitt prefers her concerts to sound like. Her band, featuring guitar, piano, drums, and the ever-present Freebo on bass and tuba help her to rock steady with out overpowering her. It is a definite obstacle for a woman to be backed by men exclusively she can easily lose much of her power and control. But Bonnie is able to maintain both of these. She has enough grit to keep her dilivery interesting. — Sweet and melancholy Bonnie's respect for Jackson Browne has evidently been growing since she recorded “Under the Falling Sky." Sunday night she performed "I Thought I Was A Child," a regular in her repertoire, and "My Opening Farewell," which has been released on her new album. Sweet Forgiveness. Also performed from this album was Paul Siebel's "Goodnight Louise," and a ballad of Bonnie's own composition. If the diversion of the show is indicative of the quality of this record, it should be as much of an achievement as her last recordings. Bonnie's best deliveries of the night came during the point where only two members of the band played to provide her with just an accent, rather than a musical wall to lean on. It was in this manner that she performed the numbers of her mentors Fred Mac Dowell, Johnson, and Skip James. "Write Me A Few Of Your Lines" segueing into "Kokomo," as it does on "Takin' My Time," highlights what Bonnie first earned her reputation for: straight blues, bottlenecked with a piece of side-walk-ground glass. Bonnie's voice has a very sweet and melancholy quality, which heightens the soulful flavor of her guitar. Same," an "I She kept this flavor as her band rejoined her for Feel The Chris Smither ancient classic by One point Bonnie kept stressing throughout the show was the necessity to retire some old favorites temporarily. This keeps them fresh for other tours. So instead of playing "Love Has No Pride" for the eight millionth time, she brought back "Wah She Do Go," telling about the woman's necessity for an outside man. Her whole crew, including sound, light, and equipment men and managers, joined her onstage as an extended percussion section. They were enjoying themselves as much as Bonnie was herself in drawing the audience into this group effort. It was reel caleepso, mon-checkeet out! A cool electric piano was a tasty accent. Bonnie closed her show iwwith "Sugar Mama," from Home Plate, her most recent album. A great jam between Bonnie on slide (stratocaster, ne less) and guitarist Will McFarland on wah-wah ensued, ending with Bonnie executing a flawless leap a la Pete Townshend for her finale. Fortunately, Bonnie realized that her hour set fell quite short of her usual show in length. The crowd roared its approval as she announced "We can't leave yet!" She took up her old Gibson once again, and delivered an absolutely astounding rendition of her own "Nothing Seems To Matter." The ovation confirmed my opinion: this was clearly the best number of the night. She closed with a medley of the old Aretha song, "Baby I Love You," and "Walk In The Rain," two of her in-concert numbers. Of course, this fifteen minute ericore was not enough to appease the audience. The band returned once more for the number Bonnie always tells her college audiences she learned in school; Stephen Stills' "Bluebird." This wound down into "I Don't Know Why I Love You Like I Do," which in turn gave way to "Coin' Home." And still the crowd was not satisfied. Bonnie was forced to return for one encore more, and urged the audience to join in on "Sweet and Shiny Eyes." Participation Bonnie seemed a bit more reserved Sunday, than at any other performance I have ever seen her do. This did not detract at all from the professional aspect, though. I think the subdued atmosphere of the Shea theatre influenced the feel of the whole evening. This is not to be misinterpreted as dampened enthusiasm, though. Her performance is one of the few these days that are down to earth enough to include the audience. And that is Ms. Raitt's most admirable quality; her concerts are always audience participation affairs. This one was no exception. The combination of her charm, musicianship and vocal ability combined to make this one of UUAB's best shows. It came off both professionally and enjoyably: not an easy combination to achieve. And the inclusion of Mose Allison as an opener was good for both the headliner and the audience. The crowd enjoyed Allison's delta blues and incredibly mellow voice. And Allison is a Raitt favorite. The combined efforts of all involved made it a unique evening. Let's see more of this soon. |iyun!w>| �Greek drama staged in Harriman Theatre The Bacchae brings to light the facets of the human experience in a unique and tantalizing manner. The Greek by Euripides will be play performed by the U.B. Theatre Department, March 17 and 27, at 8 p.m. at Harriman Theatre. The Bacchae differs from classical Greek tragedy by casting out the traditional concept of the chorus music and dance as a background movement. Director Clyde Grigsby and Choreographer Linda Swiniuch chose this play because they wanted a piece that integrated dance, music, and theatre into one smooth flowing medium. Cast members are always on the stage speaking, chanting, singing, dancing, and playing instruments. "The music and tht direction should work together," many — challenge. Grigsby said, "neither one should supercede the other." Working with a variety of art forms provides a challenge for actors, allowing them to explore different aspects of self-expression. The expertise of the cast members in music and dance combines interestingly with the freshness of those who are less familiar with these mediums. Learning how to weave different modes of art into an electrifying pattern takes the mind out of itself and into physical and emotional levels of consciousness. Jung at heart? Like most Greek drama. The Bacchae has a large cast of characters linked together by an intricate plot. The play is staged in the City of Thebes, founded by Cadmus, whose daughter, Semele, claims the god Zeus is the father of her child. Her fellow city dwellers denounce her tale, believing the child to be fathered by a commoner. Semele dies in childbirth leaving behind a son, Dionysus (Keith Watts), god of Wind, who is protected by Zeus from the jealous eyes of his lover Hera. For hid in a deft of his thigh By the gold clasps knit did he safe hidden from Hera's eye.

Oil of dog Madness in the middle of the night courtesy of Gary Storm I have fond memories of the Iat6, lamented days oiBuffalo underground radio. It was the time of the original, monp WYSL-FM, where one Larry Rakow inititated me into the joys of Leo Kottke, the circa Incredible String Band, and "Stand-Up" Jethro Tull. It was when The New Potato Caboose extolled its readers, "We want to hear from you ... if you can say it with flowers, send some it." And it Was when you were likely to hear anything, — anything, on a wondrously insane, sometimes difficult to receive station called WBFO. Well, times have changed on the airwaves. WBFO has grown much more professional and structured, but at the cost of some of that wild, irreplaceable spontaneity, which the rest of Buffalo radio has lost much more completely. The last bastion,of radio rabies can be still found on WBFO, Monday thru Thursday nights, or Tuesday thru Friday mornings depending on your perspective, from 3 till 8 a.m. And Gary Storm's program, OH of Dog, is as likely as not the best thing on Buffalo radio. (The title comes from an Ambrose Bierce story.) WBFO has long been famed for its diversity, ranging from jazz to classical to folk, to public affairs to blues, to minority programs every week. OH of Dog captures this same range every night. "I do anything at Gary's description of the show all" is not hyperbole, but simple fact. He does anytinng at all. absolutely — - comes from the station's library; as often as not he simply pulls out a stack of albums, flips through them, and plays whatever looks interesting, whether he's heard it before or not. Ernie Kovacs is describing how to play "Droongo," a game involving dice, rickshaw puller cards, and Glen Plaid arrows; this segues into the Who and the Jefferson Airplane. A long cut gives time to talk about Gary's background. "I was a DJ in Albuquerque (his home town), at the University Station. I did a lot of the same stuff I I do now, but I didn't get much encouragement to was translating 'Beowulf' late at night, listening the radio, and I thought, 'He's not doing everything he could do.' ...

A former classical violist (he took up the instrument again for Walter Gajewski's recent Deutschland recital), Gary was "blown out" of classical music by 60's rock.

Thematically, the play represents the polarity between the forces of the mind (Pentheus) and the those of abandonment and sensuality (Dionysus).

I was deprived of a seat due to a premature sellout and personal "boycott" of the show's paper's by promoters this ex-editor. That show, the band's fourth appearance in Buffalo, was extraordinarily well-received, despite the fact that it marked their first U.S. tour without star Peter singer/ly ricist/madman Gabriel. On Monday, February 28, Genesis returned in triumph to the city where even the bar bands play their songs, this time to a jam-packed War Memorial resultant Auditorium. The two-hour concert offered a good look at a band in their prime; a powerful and meticulous display of a style that will continue to be imitated for years to come. Somehow, Genesis seems to be bridging the gap between that which is aesthetically pleasing and that which is in vogue among the listening public. The existence of such a gap can be proven (in an admitedly elitist fashion) by an oversimplied look at the crowd present for this concert, both factions of which must felt somewhat have displaced. While enthralled "progressive music connoisseurs" clutched at binoculars in vain attempts to see the settings on Rutherford's amplifiers, Mike bottle-toting adolescent "partier" were dismayed to find that they couldn't count on Steve Hackett's chord repertoire on the fingers of one hand, or indeed, at all. I winced to hear Phil Collins give one of those "we're gonna play loud and soft music and could you please pipe down during the soft music" speeches at the beginning of the evening, for I had thought that, even at the Aud, a Genesis audience was a tame audience. I also winced later, at the catcalls, fireworks, and three screaming teanage girls in the seat next to me, each of whom added credence to the vocalist's doubts. ("How come he ain't wearin' a mask like Pegasis?") So it goes. Collins takes over Futile condemnations of sports arena concerts and trendiness aside. Genesis could not have been better. A formidable P.A. system and mixing crew rendered every frighteningly note of their dynamic music, from thunderous section to delicate rhythm acoustic guitars, with equal lighting Dramatic precision. now-familiar (including the effects laser beams and cloud generators) Prodigal Sun emphasized every nuance of the set, and solidified the stance of the band's new center of attention Phil Collins. In the brief time since he moved out from behind his drum kit, Collins has not only filled, but outgrown Peter Gabriel's shoes. After five years of providing indistinguishable harmonies to Gabriel's elaborately inflected, gravelly voice, the percussionist had no trouble whatsoever in taking over lead vocals. The costumes once-extensive and theatrics have gone by the wayside, but Collins' magnificent voice and drumming hold on their own, and Genesis has become a band, rather than a — singer-with-accompanists. set, although Their predominantly based on the two most recent albums IA Trick Of The Tail and Wind And ) Wuthering includes several songs Originally recorded with Gabriel, and the new vocalist has mastered his predecessor's style.

Although multiple keyboard are commonplace among outfits, bass "classical rock" players such as Mike Rutherford o. ■ are not. Also an active songwriter, Rutherford keeps nearly as busy as Banks onstage, alternately handling rhythm bass and guitar/foot pedals as the song requires. From the thump-thump drone of "Squonk" though the rich acoustic guitars of "Your Own Special Way" (his own composition) and the strange syncopation of “Dance On A Volcano," tins "bass player and a half" adds a vital spark to the band's combustible mixture of sounds. arrays ., .

Lurking at the corner of the stage, Hackett seldom.plays solos, but when hfe does, they are as well thought-out as the arrangements they enhance as in the emotionally saturated climax to "Firth of Fifth.” Inventive chording, reinforcement of themes and lilting, heavily sustained decorative lines are his forte, as essential a part of the Genesis sound as Collins' vocals. Hackett and Rutherford often work together as a unit, offsetting Bank's mysterious dissonances (as ") on "The Lamb and together they provide a solid tonal anchor for the rest of the band. — ' ... Rutherford's usual is co-anchorman, however, Chester Thompson, who recently replaced Bill Bruford as the band's "alternate drummer." Although Collins' own masterful Phil drumming is still present on instrumental passages, he devotes most of his time onstage to singing, leaving Thompson as the sole percussionist. And percuss he does. The tricky offbeat accents and general jazz technique of the recorded Collins sound like old hat to this newcomer, who reproduces them with the utmost His accuracy. rapid-fire miscellaneous percussion work adds fire to the already seething instrumental in that Quiet Earth," with Collins and providing basic, the Rutherford " ... unmistakable rhythm line. At the close of "Dance On A Volcano," the two drummers performed a unison duet, sounding something like a two four-’armed Billy Cobham, then launched into the explosive running Latin rhythm of "Los Endos." The latter which closed the set, utilizes the Collins/R utherford/Thompson powerhouse as a starting point for a searing instrumental medley that could put many a jazz-rock band out of business.' This electrifying finale put the touches on a fine convert, one which confirmed Genesis as a first-rate live band, as professional and polished as they come. What is merely impressive on record became amazing in concert, and the audience was impressed. After a suitably standing, five-minut match-lighting ovation the band returned, (bedecked in Buffalo Sabres jerseys) for a medley of "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway” and the final segment of "The Musical Box." This was one of the few examples I have seen in this concert-crazy city where the band actually deserved an encore, and the audience actually worked to bring them back. As the devasted crowd filtered out, the sound crew summed it all up with a tape of Ethel Merman singing "There's No Business Like Show Business." Indeed. finishing Volcano").

That one-time identifiable niche in the music industry is gradually fosing its identity and is beginning to fuse itself with other genres of the recording world. There is still a mainstream of pure jazz, but new tributaries are sprbuting from it all the time. Soul (funk) has more recently sprouted a jazzier tinge with elaborate horn arrangements displayed in the performances of Earth, Wind, & Fire, AWB, Kool and the Gang, Tower of Power, and Rufus, to name just a few. Jazz is present in some of the southern boogie music played by such bands as Marshall Tucker and Wet Willie, and can even be found in current disco stars like George Benson and Herbie Mann. The main outflow of jazz musicians, however, has been directed into ib present day "jazz-rock" sound. Chicago and Blood, Sweat & Tears entered with a somewhat just-this-side-of-rock format, with brilliant jazz horn riffs encorporated. Then came jazz-rock. Mahavishnu John McLaughlin appeared with his five-piece orchestra, which would later evolve into three new talents: Billy Cobham, the Jerry Goodman and Jan Hammer team, and Mahavishnu himself. Closely on McLaughlin’s heels came a flood of musicians, some newly discovered, some veterans finally achieving recognition. With the likes of the Brecker Brothers, the Crusaders, the newly rehashed Jeff Beck, Weather Report, and the L.A. Express, a new recording species was being born. Soon evolution took hold, producing such solo careers as those of Jean-Luc Ponty, Tony Williams, Tom Scott, and Ramsey Lewis. Possibly the most important band to emerge was Return to Forever. Featuring Chick Corea's dazzling keyboard wizardry, Stanley Clarke's discovery of the bass as something more than a fhythmic instrument, Al Dimeola's guitar expertise (replacing the original RTF's Bill Conners) and percussionist superb, Lenny White, the band put out six albums, culminating with the highly successful and most popular Romantic Warrior. After achieving their highest point of popularity with this release, Corea literally fired all but Clarke, leaving behind bitter feeling between Corea and the unemployed members. Chick and Stanley have since produced a disc under Corea's name and Dimeola is in the process of forming a new band, after a brief stint with Stevie Winwood and Stomu Vumashta's concept. Go. Lenny White, while appearing on Brian Auger's new album, Happiness-Heartaches, is also in the process of pursuing a solo career, with the release of a new disc entitled Big City. Now. ’gh fidelity for the price of mediocre naeiliy. * With this new album. White furthers his endeavors past his 1975 effort, Venutian Summer. He incorporates several big names and weaves them into a not-so-original, but nonetheless exciting sound. The opening title cut enlists the extraordinary talents of the Tower of Power Horn Section, fused with the keyboards of Brian Auger, accompanied by his Oblivion Express. The rhythm may be slightly over-repetitive, but an excellent lyricon solo by TOP'S Lenny Pickett and guitar solo by Oblivion's Jack Mills redeem the song. "Sweet Dreamer" features piano virtuoso Herbie Hancock and the disc's only vocals, supplied by Linda Tillery. Two brief "Interludes," beginning with "Egypt" and continuing into the lavishly orchestrated (a la flute and string section) "Nocturen" total a mere 2% minutes. The swift tempoed "Rapid Transit" spotlights White's percussion alongside of Herbie Hancock's second appearance, with the easily recognizable funky bass of Earth, Wind & Fire's Verdine White. "Dreams Come and Go" opens side two. The song is subtitled "For Jimi," and Neal Schon, current Journey and ex-Santana guitarist, guests here. "Enchanted Pool Suite," consisting of three parts, displays the fine acoustic talents of Jerry Goodman and Jan Hammer, and the pizzicato acoustic bass of ex-Westher Reporter Miroslav Vitous. "And We Meet Again," subtitled "For Miles," contains crowd applause, but no mention is made on the jacket whether it is, indeed, live. Brian Auger plays keyboards on-this cut, but the r?al excitement comes from a different guitar solo from each channel: Ray Gomez (who, incidentally, plays on three other cuts), from one and Neal Schon from the other. The album, as a whole, offers nothing uniquely original. The addition of some fine guests and Lenny White's admirable arrangements provide the factor needed to salvage it for the most part, but with this disc, Lenny White will remain just another fact in the —Doug Alpern jazz-rock crowd.

The Music is dedication, and the start is a "Song For Lady.” This original recording reveals the varied colors My Sonny Fortune could unveil simultaneously. More which milestones. Al Gibbons on flute, with the string quartet, presents the challenge of beauty, waltzing Aisha. Harold Vick's soprano widens the stop as Herbie Lewis' bass with Freddy Waits' drums become the lioness/the stride comely, coming. McCoy greets the sea, a changing world. Space fills. Union. A tranquility now, the totality of the "Cosmos" a sanguine reality. Dive deeply. The Music is there, waiting for you to make your own waves. "Vibration Blues" sends ripples shocking joy from sadness. The trio (McCoy,. Freddie, Herbie) cleanses. "Planet X" (trio) is the moonlight dancing in the sun rejecting lunacy for a wilder search. A serenade to awaken. The shrieking wind bears the warmth of morning breezes (Verna Gillis) and anyway, the soothing moans sigh, do we ever have cool summers in this land? The ever bubbling bongos (Bunchie Fox) pulsing for explosion answer throughout. "Malkauns" is swiching breezes heralding an end to winter. Starting as budding vibration emanating from bass (Charlie Haden) tambourra (Moki) and drums (Billy Higgins) sprinkling, Don erupts full force the spring showers of trumpet/and at the core you are blossoming. The lyricism, tenderness, power, and stateliness of this music, held together by a sorrow that gradually rises to a sober joy, should give you a feeling of being lifted up, which is the purpose of most music. Stanley Crouch "Chenrizig" is based literally on notes Don has placed underlining the title. Avalokitesvara om mani padme hum lotus I feel the Seven Breaths of God Do you know what you know? Or, do you really think you're there. If you do, beware your Forbidden Lands.

"Shaken, But Not Forsaken" is very evocative of the day: April 4, 1969. The folk ballad becomes deadly muse reminding that the love of Dr. _Kjng lives and will spread, be spread. How will you welcome your crops, children? The quiet is broken, its strength questioned. Freddie mixes the elements absorbed in the deep blackness, intensity quickens. Strings shimmer as nerve impulses electrify the nature of the beautiful ones, and McCoy comes the rain and summer storms, not living for moments but seizing the time, usually without notice. Yet, somebody's watching. Crescendo is met and well sent as McCoy and Freddie dance in the streets. I can picture Beverly Simms doing a twirl step, tambourine talking of reaching while her voice, being, touches you. See, doing it is more than keep on reacting. Do It! I hear Joe Ford and Knosi Virgil Day giving Jon Weiss and Susie Slack a lesson in true song that will not be heard. I hear Alex Haley thanking Malcolm for insight into basic roots. Birthright.

The Spectrum Page fifteen . ��RECORDS Auger's Brian Oblivion Express, Happiness-Heartaches (Warners) Happiness-Heartaches is British keyboardist Brian Auger's latest Warner Bfothers release. In their previous incarnations, Auger and his band, the Oblivion Express, have experimented in the rock-jazz genre, with styles ranging from "Easy Listening" to one reminiscent of the Mahavishnu Orchestra. It is at their own brand of light funk. When the material is good, this album cooks. My favorites among the seven tunes dre "Never Gonna Come Down," "Back Street Bible Class," "Got To Be Born Again," and "Give Me A Funky Break," which are the album's most cohesive and rock-oriented songs. "Never Gonna Come Down," written by bassist Clive Chaman, is among the Express' best work. Its infectious rhythm, and light and funky vocals and lyrics left me humming for days. The other three preferred songs use the band's tight formula of strong rhythm lines followed by a more buoyant Auger organ solo. The tunes are catchy and Auger's keyboards work well with them. The remaining three songs, "Spice-Island," "Happiness-Heartaches," and "Paging Mr. McCoy," are less successful. "Spice Island," in which White's drumming becomes most noticeable, fails to achieve the Return To Forever rhythmic quality for which it aims. "Paging Mr. McCoy," which refers to McCoy Tyner (not Van McCoy), finds Auger emulating Tyner's piano style. Auger, unlike Tyner, is not a great piano technician. Where Tyner's music works on building up to several climaxes, Auger's imitation simplistic repetitious. seems and "Happiness-Heartaches," the best of the three when he and his group can find a "happy medium," above-mentioned songs, is the album's most soulful. Here Ligertwood's Marvin Gaye-ish vocals are as on this disk, that they are the most successful. soothing, though not as sexy as Marvin's own; With the addition of ex-Return to Forever instead of the intended seduction, they induce sleep. drummer Lenny White, Auger has assembled his most capable backup band. At their best, they This item seems to me to be an album for Auger supply the rhythmic bottom on which Auger's fans only. Though it contains some of his better stylized keyboard leads build.

Dean Friedman is not a Cowboy, but a Minstrel of Manhattan, breaking his bread at the Bottom Line and now on Lifesong Records, a label that caters to New York artists. Joel gave us his ideas on Long Island decadence, but Friedman plays a different ballgame. The songs are personal ones and give us a picture that he is a happy-go-lucky balladeer, freewheelin' his way through New York City life. Yes, he's got his lost loves and his new ones, but Dean puts it in his own offbeat way that verges on the seriocomic. "Ariel" is Friedman's love song to a girl he met while collecting money for a non commercial radio station, WBAf, at Paramus Park in New Jersey. It was a head-over-heels affair, and I've got to know this, so Friedman makes this a bouncy tune, complete with a tenor sax solo that sounds like it came off an old Coasters record from the '50's. He flips and I can picture him bounding through Central Park, singing the magic of it all With the forbidding title of "The Letter," this song is Friedman's finest ballad on the album. String and horn arrangements by Kenny Ascher, the piano pours out Friedman's tale of a girl who goes off on a journey to find herself and the ones at home who miss her. The verses have a disjointed undertone, mostly from the smooth bass lines of Tony Levin, giving way to the man's crumbling past. So what's it like on your own, a roaming vagabond. Away from home in search of some forgotten door? Is it half as good as it sounds? Tell me, have you found. The peace and calm we've all been looking for? A spirit runs through this album, a Broadway Melody of life and love. I get this idea that Dean Cheap Trick (Epic) Dateline: The Whole Midwest. It finally has happened; Punk Rock has hit that sordid bastion of banal Americana. The low culture fad has spread throughout the United States. If there is ever a detailed encyclopedic history of rock fifty or sixty years hence, very little, if any, space will be devoted to Punk Rock. The explanation may look like this: the fad of punk rock was the result of a bored middle-class search for truth, found falsely, simplicity, discovered through complex, forced, 'creativeness,' closeness to low life, built through the plastic eyes of a dope-drenched high culture, and primitivism, explained through technology." Cheap Trick is a pretty decent rock group. But someone labeled them Punk Rock with the expectation that all critics everywhere will be satisified with their shallow, wet-dream facade flowing with the verbose adolescence: 'Yeah, ya gotta dig all this kiddies, because like. I'm playin' uh, with my false teen dream, which has gotta blow yer 1 mind.' Brainwash your mind, maybe. So let me forget all the labels and critical bandwagoning and deal with Cheap Trick on their Own midwestern rock level. Listening to Cheap Trick's album, I recall those exo-teric, now esoteric, times of the sixties when the Beatles were glued to my ear via the AM airwaves; the karma was instantly brought to sound by the cheap $.25 speaker in my transistor radio. But now the reverb on Cheap Trick's guitar, which is tuned like John Lennon's; the drum beats are simple enough to emulate the thick knuckled hands of Ringo Starr; the lead guitar is as "intricate" as Harrison could have made it; maybe McCartney is harmonizing to Lennon's lead vocals. Lennon's voice is tempered with the understanding, loved-and-lost wimpering that made him likeable before he changed the call to a philosophic wine of self-indulgence. ... Dammit, you can't tell me this isn't the Beatles. They've secretly reformed under the guise of . .. . .. Cheap Trick. Reality. Is it a Cheap Trick or the ultimate in well-fashioned parody? "Here and Now/blistered droop eyes/don't believe it./She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah/l hop sew./Any time at all/Weaving mind hope/l know what's between your/e;ars don't lie ecstacy./Hope deprives us all/Laying and lying in rings/help, chipped teeth, krisna, wings, ono/No It's strange. Cheap Trick sounds so much like the Beatles you wish to forget the epistemological realities of the group and bathe in imagination, dropping the force of identity. Cheap Trick somehow retains their own rock image. Perhaps it is because one cannot banish reality forever without some remnants of logic enforcing a belief, false or true, in the actual. It's sane and insane. Reactionarily, the group of Robin Zander on vocals impresses the dream on the listener, while Rick Nielson, the songwriter-lead guitarist, bassist Tom Petersson and drummer Bun E. Carlos reinforce the feeling. The songs are perfectly timed to carry out the parody in fine style. The song "He's A Whore," which deals with the shady personality of a man's love of a woman for her money is a deep portrayal of Cheap Trick's many-edged sword of satire. First the gigolo mocks his monied mate — And so the story goes think I'll take her for a ride With this moneybag by my side Cause gigolo is the only way to go And so I show my face And / can even fake a smite But I'm laughing inside all the while The little girl, she's a joke . . .

The evidence to this case won is "Funny Papers," a zipper of a song, backed by a thumping jazz trio, a 2Vi minute delight Friedman is this suavely-dressed folkie who hits all to the comic strips. For secondary motives, there's the elaborate nightclubs and sings his life to all those the essential "Humor Me," a torchy, gospel-ish tune attending.

With Eli this suspicion urned out to be justified (at first); with the xception of the aforementioned "Tranquilizer" and There He Still Goes," I found very little material hat was interesting. At first, I laid the blame to vocalist Kaz Lux, tainly because of his obnoxious voice and jbstandard lyrical ability. To me. Lux did not sing; e merely shouted or spoke like an amateur vant-garde poet, devoid of the feeling necessary to onvey any message. These shortcomings were jrther compounded by his alleged poetry, articularly that on "Naked Actress:" . / II II . . ohce watched a fly die VEGETARIAN DINNERS SALADS OMELETS MACROBURGERS FRUIT JUICES OUR OWN BREAD You know why he had to die? Because he was a fly, that's why For some time I remained quite Unimpressed with the album. However, once I managed to go beyond the vocal performances, I realized that I had been overlooking some of the most beautiful guitar work that Akkerman had ever produced. His riffs provided a terse background that was far more listenable that Lux's work, and his solos, although far to infrequent, were fascinating. EH is much more Daryl Hall/John Oates, No Goodbyes (Atlantic) jazz-oriented than any of Akkerman's previous solo As happens so often in the record business, Atlantic Records, in an efforts, and this may have prevented me from effort to cash in on the monstrous success of Daryl Hall and John noticing its strong points for such a long time. Oates, has put together a package of Hall & Oates material consisting of Now, as I listen to it, I find other, less obvious seven previously released tracks and three never-before-released ones. things attracting my attention, such as Pierre van der The seven previously released tracks are mbstly from War Babies and Linden's and Renee DeBois' sedate or frenetic Abandoned Luncheonette, with only "Lilly (Are You Happy)''pulled drumming (depending on the mood of the song), from Whole Oates, the duo's first offering.

Songs such as "Seventies Scenario" and "Las Vegas to become more bearable; in some places, he is Turnaround" were among the most successful tracks of War Babies and almost enjoyable perhaps I'm growing used to his Abandoned Luncheonette, but just don't have that same artistic magic style. when heard here. Understanding and appreciating EH does take Atlantic Records seemingly put this record together in the minimal time more time than I've spent on almost any amount of time possible. Take the cover for instance, the green tinted other album. However, now it appears that it may be photograph of a nightgown-clad girl in a bare room has absolutely no well worth the ( effort. -Eugene Zielinski correlation whatsoever with anything related to the music of Daryl Hall and John Oates. It was bad enough that Atlantic did nothing to promote Daryl and John when they were with the label, but to throw together an album like this is insult upon injury. The least Atlantic could have done would have been to enclose the lyrics, something all five Hall/Oates studio efforts did. But alas, no lyrics. Nevertheless, for a newly won-over Hall and Oates fan, this may be not a bad investment. Without the previous albums to look back on for comparison, these are great songs. Hall and Oates, though just recently reaping the huge rewards of rock superstardom, have since OPEN their debut album on Atlantic's Whole Oates, created some of the most Tuesday—Sunday progressive and awe-inspiring rock music to date. The vocal interplay of 11:30- 4:30 Lunch Hall and Oates throughout “Lilly (Are You Happy)" remains 5:00 9:00 Dinner unmatched by anyone. As I've expounded on before, in my previous 9:30 Breakfast on reviews, without a doubt Daryl Hall has the premier voice in rock & Saturday Sunday today. The range, passion, and phenomenal control that he possesses in 9:00pm Sunday his vocal work are nothing short of breathtaking for the listener. As on Coffeehouse. "Las Vegas Turnaround," when Hall screams "Sara ple-e-e-ase," or the famous 'She's Go-o-one," Daryl Hall manages to give every song his utmost feeling and emotion, utilizing every ounce of soul his body gives him. The three "new" songs, recorded in 1973, were probably done during the Abandoned Luncheonette sessions, since they're produced by Arif Mardin. The best of the three, "Love You Like A Brother" features the usual excellence of Daryl's vocals accompanied by an up-tempo arrangement with an excellent rhythm section. "I Want To Know You For A Long Time" and "It's Uncanny," the other two unreleased tracks are both Daryl Hall workouts, featuring primarily Hall, with John Oates confined to basically co-harmonizing on the choruses. Though the unreleased material is good, and basically on par with their other works, three unreleased tracks should not make an album. If Hall and Oates had many hits with Atlantic, it would be different, since "greatest hits" packages are universal with every label; but H&O only had one hit with Atlantic ("She's Gone"), and this came only upon its third release and subsequent to the breakthrough for H&O, "Sara Smile." Nevertheless, an album like this, coming at a time when H&O are at their hottest, will surely increase Atlantic's profits, and that's what record companies aim for. No Goodbyes, while no trend setter, does contain ten H&O tracks, which would be ideal for someone first getting into the duo. The tracks just a-small sampling of the Hall are ail excellent and well-produced and Oates catalog, which in this reviewer's opinion is the most progressive in rock. So, if you're considering getting into the country's leading rock duo, No Goodbyes may not be a bad beginning. • —Steven Brieff RECORDS — — n — — 25 GREENFIELD STREET II II II I.R.C.B.

The Elections At last week’s Student Association (SA) election, the last one I will have to cover, I felt some very strange vibes. I was taken aback by the entire process, our campus exercise in democracy. It is difficult, if not impossible, to protest an action taken by the University administration if you are screaming from a divided house. Somehow 1 have the idea that they must think this whole episode is very entertaining at Hayes Hall. SA, instead of concentrating on important issues like the GSEU strike or the fragmented move to the North Campus, worries about placating prima donna personalities. How ironic it is in a year when two of the last big time, big city operators, Daley of Chicago and O’Connell of Albany, are buried, so many sordid charges must be raised in a student election. The national news shows tell us that the age of dirty smoke filled room politics has past. I wonder if last week’s performance by my peers does not portend a return to these low standards. The outgoing SA President alluded to the vicious nature of the election and was rather concerned that he might have lost friends. This election set an all-time record for poor taste. Last year on election night I asked one of the victors if he the anticipated any problems working with other side, he said obviously not, since everyone knew each other and the parties had only been forged a few weeks before the election. This year’s election transcended party lines before concentrated on the election and personalities. The usual slogans on posters were accompanied by bitter behind the back name-calling and innuendo. Such pleasantries as the losers congratulating the winders might have been neglected altogether had not several former SA politicos intervened. One candidate, who in the debates chastised another for accepting the University administration as the powers that be on this campus, has decided to protest this election, not in the forum of his fellow students, but to the administration. Such hypocrisy warrants no further comment. Instead of concentrating feu> WMWnJ#****; nrr issues, some and Credentials Committee was the recipient of much ridicule and abuse. My question is not even whether it was deserved but, how,necessary it was and what interests if any were served by the unending protest. The lack of honesty in accessing the mandatory fee situation was appalling. With SA’s expected budgetary shortfall, it is strange that so few by David J. Rubin Special Features Editor candidates felt that the fee should be raised. The same people will tearfully rise at a budget hearing in a few months and say: isn’t it a shame that we must cut these programs. What’s the difference? At least we did not offend any of those people before the election. These officials tell us how terrible Carey is and go do the same thing in the financial arena. I can remember only one candidate who, without enveloping an answer in rhetoric, actually said that'those who can afford $67.00 can afford $70.00 and those who cannot afford the fee receive Norton Lanes, the marble steps, the candy counter, the Rat, 205, the Charles Room, the Tiffin Room, the Record Coop, Haas Lounge, the Fillmore Room, the Browsing Library, The Spectrum Office. These will be gone soon, and nothing will ever be able to replace them. Oh, they talk about the Amherst Campus and the new student union there and how nice and big and beautiful it will be with all its “student spaces” and administration offices, and everything else. But once it opens, and Norton, er Squire, er, no, let’s keep it at Norton, closes, you won’t be able to cruise through Norton on your way from the dorms to a Diefendorf 148 lecture. And that, for me at least, is sad. Recent graduates of this University don’t even like to hear about waivers. the desecration they feel is going on. Many of these alumni refuse to Spectrum been said of the role of The Much has in SA elections especially of late. Because of our listen to any talk of “Ellicott Complex” and they vow never to set foot veritable media monopoly on this campus, we must on any campus.

Norton Hall is the lifeblood of students at this campus, and every We altered our past procedures and printed our administrator knows it.

Carter, and Ketter. Almost all campus news breaks in or around the union, and whatever doesn’t passes through the union almost immediately. Norton Hall is the nerve center of this school. And now it’s gone. When the class of 1981 (doesn’t that seem like an eternity from now?) checks in for summer orientation, the campus tours will feature stops through Squire Hall. They will visit the new SA office in some other Norton Hall, which I hope never to visit. Yes, these are the “good old days” of tomorrow. The beauty of this school lies in its smallness. The enrollment figures say 13,000 undergraduates, but how many people at this school can walk through the union on a warm spring day and not bump into someone they know? The Union is all of us. It’s the dogs, the hari krishnas, the freaks selling jewelry and leather, the student government hacks, the frisbee throwers, and the people who just plain hang out. I know people who spent four years and more at this school doing nothing else but “hanging out in the union.” Some people hang out on the first floor, others in the Rat, others in various offices. They don’t do anything constructive. They don’t try to, but they are part of the union and they will have no place to hang out starting next fall. At least for the time being, though, all is not lost. I called Norton Information Desk, and they still said “Norton Hall when they picked up the phone. But on the other hand, my editors are shouting that 1 can’t use Norton Hall in a story. Well, tough on them. This place will always be Norton Hall no matter what it says on some stupid plaque.

Refrigerators have been stored in the bathrooms of Governor’s because Housing has been so stubbornly arbitrary and unreasonable about providing space for shared refrigerators in other common areas of the complex. It was only after extended argument that the bureaucrats generously consented to their use last year in utility rooms (after residents had collected petitions supporting the relocation of trash barrels to other available space); that concession was rescinded for this year, with the result that residents have been forced to make “illegal” duplicate keys to allow, access by siiitemates to shared refrigerators in student rooms. (Naturally, Housing could not care less about the noise and “unsanitariness” in rooms that are used for sleeping.) The location of shared refrigerators in food preparation areas in Ellicott has been similarly harassed by the Housing administrative heirarchy (one member of which absolutely refused to discuss the matter with an/’students), notwithstanding the fact that these common units stand next to those over holes in the walls, these problems could be handled on a case-by-case basis by RA’s who are familiar with the problem, just as is now done for any damage or sanitation problem.

Thanks to the Office of Admissions and Records, the students of the 8th Judicial District (almost 90% Commuters) will get a chance to see the University this month.

The conferences, to be held on March 12, 19 and 26 will have different workshops for the perspective new students to attend. They will cover everything from academic advisement to different faculties to commuting. Over the period of three Saturdays, some 1,000 students and parents will attend these informative conferences. Admissions and Records has asked the Commuter Affairs Council to participate in the workshops. The Council will be informing the new perspectives of the services available to them on campus. Topics of parking, bussing and recreation are to be some of the major topics discussed. By having present students talk to the new students, the Council hopes to achieve an informal atmosphere to allow the students to feel free to ask whatever questions they may have. A dorm resident A Fond Farewell . To the Editor This letter is directed toward those officials in the housing department that have seen fit to outlaw refrigerators larger than nine cubic feet. We are residents of Clinton Hall in the Governors complex. In our suites a single fifteen cubic foot refrigerator fulfills the needs of as many as seven students. Dae of smaller units,, by decree of housing or lack of funds, would entail use of more than one refrigerator. This we feel is ludicrous if the housing officials seek to preserve energy. Our one refrigerator uses far less energy than two nine cubic foot units. And it is far more economical and convenient. In regard to the safety requirements about refrigerators, our refrigerators are not new by any means but are in perfect working order. They are in our rooms, not the bathroom; and are easily moved in or out of the rooms. Transporting them in or out of the dorm itself is simply an inconveneince, not an impossibility. And since it is our responsibility housing need not lift a finger to do some work for a change. Far be it from us to inconvenience our benefactors, the beloved housing department. We sincerely hope housing will reconsider this decision. > David A. Lewis Patrick M.

Friday, 11 March 1977 by Cheryl McNerney and Rick Birdsall The elections have come and gone arid the new administration will be taking over soon. But before the present administration bites the dust we would like to say a few things about a couple members of the current administration. The present SA President Steve Schwartz deserves to be commended for the job he has done this past year. We have not always agreed with the things he did, but we realize that in handling his job, he used a calm, compromising approach which he believed was best in carying out his duties. Never overreacting to a situation nor acting like a loony ( The Spectrum feels the best kind of president is a crazy who will lead riots if all student demands aren’t met); he was always able to see the other person’s position. He could just as easily work with Dr. Ketter when it was necessary for student interests, as he could with student groups. He rarely lost his sense of humor, thank God, since a fine sense of madness is a necessity for being involved in student government. He has been a strong supporter of student unionization which ultimately is the only hope for students to escape the bureaucratic infighting and concentrate on issues of tuition, tenure, cutbacks, etc. Steve Schwartz has handled his job in a fair and competent way. He has been rather unfairly torn apart in the recent campaign, which is to be expected. But now that the campaign rhetoric has ended, we think that most people will agree he has done a pretty good job. Steve Spiegel has had to put up with an awful lot this year. He was beaten up, had his life threatened, asked to resign and people were screaming about the way he ran Senate meetings. We didn’t want Steve elected in the first place. However, looking back, we feel Steve did a fine job. He was elected to carry out the rules. What some people mistook for arrogance on Steve’s part, was really a determination not to let Senate meetings turn into shouting matches. It would have been very easy to let the meetings turn into complete chaos (the last few have despite Steve’s best efforts). These words of praise may shock some people (including Steve). Last year we were extremely rough on Steve in the Commuter Comment. We realize now that we were blaming Steve for what we considered the inequities in the student government. We brutally used him as a scapegoat. We should have known better. We’re sorry for the touble we gave him last year because he turned out to be a very good vice president.

According to University officials, Ketter was among 300 candidates for the position. However, Ketter wrote a letter to Emory last week, stating that he would not be available for the Presidency. A family spokesperson also denied that Ketter would soon be leaving this University. Ketter will meet with representatives of the Graduate Students .Employees Union today. The meeting is the first scheduled by the Ketter Administration in months, and is considered important in light of the GSEU's strike referendum beginning March 14. Fee stays at $67; athletic issue passes Students voted to continue the $67 mandatory activity fee but rejected raising it $3 more in the referendum which accompanied last week’s Student Association (SA) election. Students also approved the non-binding referendum question on stable funding for athletics. The question on the continuance of the mandatory activity fee 1826 to 840. This question was was approved by a 986 vote margin made the SUNY Board of Trustees in by necessitated by recent changes their guidelines for mandatory fee use. The last fee referendum at this University was two years ago. Without the changes in guidelines, a referendum is only necessary every four years. This is the third time since 1974 that the activity fee has been approved on this campus. The mandatory fee monies, which total about $880,000, are given to SA, which in turn distributes those funds to SA clubs, special interest organizations and Sub-Board, the student corporation. The specific allocations are determined by the SA Senate in their annual budget hearings. The second referendum question asked if students woula approve a • — in the fee to $70, which is the maximum allowed by law. This was resoundingly rejected, 1672 votes to 919. This question has divided leaders of the student government; some do not want to take the unpopular stand of asking for more money, others felt the added revenue would be of great help in meeting budget requests. The final question was a non-binding referendum question over funding the athletic program through a fixed allocation for a four year period. This passed by a vote of 1577 to 858. The allocation would be set bu the Financial Assembly and overseen by a special review board. This, question because it was specifically designated a non-binding question stands mainly as an opinion survey. $3 increase Andy Lalonde Jeff Lessoff Neil Seiden - - �Supreme Court ruling Minority admissions policy Experience in Buffalo,” and “White Working Class Ethnic in Buffalo.” They are linked: to forget one’s ethnic heritage is to forget all the pain and struggle Very soon, the U.S. Supreme Court will review that one’s forebearers went through in the past, and the constitutionality of the special minority this past must be uncovered and looked at plainly. quota-policy for professional When it is; it is the same story of years and years of admissions-or schools. The case was brought by Allan Bakke, a discrimination and a lot of not-getting-ahead, and white, who was denied admission to the medical being looked at as inferior. What I say to my students who may be inclined school at the Davis branch of the University of California; he claims to be the victim of “reverse to these “inferiority” ideas regarding minority students, who are seen as their competitors, is that discrimination.” Supreme Court outlaws these we are living in a capitalist society, which fosters quota If the systems, the New York Times predicts on the basis competition between the races and various ethnic of interviews with law school deans, that very few groups; as long as whites see the blacks as the minority students will gain admission this coming “problem,” then the wealthy remain in control of year; typically, instead of fifty minority admitted our society. But let people make the connections under special preference, there will be one or between their own ethnic heritage and the situation perhaps two, admitted under the normal exam today of the black minorities, and they being to see by Charles A. Haynie Special to The Spectrum • method. This-wonkt mean trdevastating'dfdp Irt the a different piCtdffe of Who is" their real friend and who is their real enemy. J number of minority lawyers, doctors, and other professional people in the years to come. Many of my own students are sitting now and waiting for that fateful letter which will tell them their future: entrance into law school or seeking some sort of job. Many of these tell me that they feel they, too, may be the victims of “reverse discrimination” and lose out. Many are angry at this possibility, considering all the work they’ve done, and money and loans consumed, and their parents’ dreams, and their own. I don’t blame them for being angry and upset, but I do not agree with them that they are the victims of “reverse discrimination”—I do not think that expression means anything at all. Let me explain: Since the minority population in the U.S. is around ten to fifteen percent, you might expect ten to fifteen percent of the admitees of professional schools to be minority students, even without special preferences and quotas. But we must take it on good authority, the Law School Deans, themselves, that this will not be so. We may wonder why this low number of minority students who are able to gain admittance through the normal channels of tests scores and the like. People have drawn two contradictory conclusions; one, that minority students are from an inferior race of people who haven’t the intellectual capacity to do this sort of work, and never will make good lawyers or doctors, so that making a special admissions policy for them is a waste of time and money. The other conclusion is that the social, economic and political discrimination poses such an enormous barrier that the fact that only a tiny number of minority students can be admitted normally is merely another measure of how extensive and pervasive those discriminatory pressures really are. A great mistake Frankly, I don’t blame people, under the kind of pressure they are under, with their parents’ hopes breathing down their backs, to seek out for an easy explanation of their plight. Otherwise, in our society, you are led to believe you are not so good if you fail to gain entrance to school. But you are not to blame; everyone ought to be admitted and allowed to try out. The pressure is artificial, just like the supposed oil shortage, or natural gas shortage. They are both designed to keep the poor and working populations struggling against each other: who should get the gas? Who should get the few spots in law schools? I said earlier that the expression “reverse discrimination” was a non-expression, it doesn’t mean anything. If minorities make us say ten percent of the population, and if these professional schools make a special preference to admit that same percentage of minority students, taking the top minority students that apply, then they are only doing what they would anyway if there had been no discrimination in our society to begin with. If you believe, as 1 do, that blacks are not inferior, then you'account for their lack of ability to gain entrance to the pervasive discrimination practiced against them, and the only honest thing the professional schools can do is to go ahead and admit them. They can do one thing more, they can see to it, by remedial assistance in law and medical school, that these same students are not handicapped during their work there. Otherwise, they would be admitting them, and then reporting their failure to succeed in professional school as if they were equally advantaged educationally from the start, which they clearly are not. This issue raises only one of the kinds of issues we as a society must face in the years to come, as a result of an inhuman policy of slavery and discrimination which a few people were wised up to by “Roots” on TV. The same issue is faced in the Buffalo Public Schools today, and is hot to be understood as “the busing issue” but as the necessity for our society to take responsibility for what we have created: a dual discriminatory system whose results are evident to us all everyday. We can acknowledge this discrimination in the past and present, and try to build a decent future for ourselves, or we can succumb to “racial inferiority” as an explanation and pay the’consequences The Spectrum is published Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the academic year and on Friday only the summer by during The Spectrum Student Periodical, Inc Offices are located at 355 Norton Hall, State University of New York at Buffalo, 3435 Mam St., Buffalo, an Coupon worth 50c Fri..

Or those who control the medical establishment who make enormous Logically, you either acknowledge the degree of discrimination in our society, or you are drawn into an “inferiority” type argument. The latter argument is gaining adherents as the pressures for jobs among undergraduates increases, the number of jobs decreases, and the race for professional school degrees becomes intense. Under such intense pressure 1 can see why many students may entertain these “racial inferiority” arguments, but to do so would be to make a great mistake. Many of the people I’ve talked to are second or third generation, Irish, Italians, Polish or Jewish Americans; and if they want to appreciate how this sort of discrimination works all they need to do is to go back home and spend an evening with their grandparents, or possibly even their own parents, and remind themselves that once the Irish, the Italians, the oles, the Jews, were subtly or otherwise excluded from the same sort of educational opportunities. And, the “majority” students who did gain entrance in those days, drew the same conclusions about the ethnic Americans who were excluded: they were of an inferior race, not mentally equipped to master the details of law, medicine, etc. Maybe now, people can see why Tolstoy College teaches the course “Desegregation of the Buffalo Public Schools.” as well as “The Polish- American Charles NY. 14214 831 4113.

If the contract is defeated, the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) will attempt to replace UUP as the SUNY agent. Chapter AAUP Buffalo President Murray Brown said his major complaint against the new UUP contract is “it allows for incursions on academic freedom and it doesn’t protect tenure; it allows the administration to act in such a way that tenure is no longer meaningful.” The contract essentially allows the administration to define academic programs in such an arbitrary and capricious manner that any individual can be targeted and he (terminated), retrenched contended. a bargaining agent for university systems, and nationally many determines accepted guidelines for relations between university professors and their employers. According to guidelines, faculty AAUP appointments and retrenchments should be determined by the faculty rather than the AAUP is 44 administration. —FMss People not programs accused SUNY Brown administrators of attempting last year to define academic programs around individuals they Wanted removed. This type of action effectively eliminates the purpose of tenure and deprives the faculty of proper governance, he said. Brown also objected to a clause in Charles Fall Snyder by David Malat Spectrum Staff Writer Housing officials have imposed a new University regulation which will prohibit students from bringing refrigerators larger than 9.0 cubic feet into the dorms. The regulation takes effect in September. According to Len Snyder, “Assistant Vice President for Housing and Custodial Services,” the University is striving to be energy conscious: reducing the size of the refrigerators should lead to less energy consumption. “Some of the smaller rooms are not designed to accommodate such large units,” Snyder explained, “and we’ve actually had instances of refrigerators being stored in bathrooms in the Governors Complex.” University Housing Director Madison Boyce said concern was health and safety. He described a number of hazardous instances, including one in which a gas leak in an old unit forced dorm occupants to be evacuated. Boyce added that he felt the units brought in are not clean enough and may be infested with insects. As support, Boyce cited the fact that two summers ago when refrigerators were stored in two Ellicott quads a roach problem his primary developed. The third official, “Director of Housing Custodial Services,” Richard Cudek estimated that approximately 500 15 to 25 year old refrigerators are brought into the dorms. These large units can damage halls, elevators, and door frames. Cudek received reports of holes in walls resulting from refrigerator transport. Another major problem is that students leave large units behind during the summer and discover them missing on returning the following semester. Approximately 40 refrigerators meet this fate each year, according to Cudek. ' Fix or nix Snyder, Boyce and Cudek all vehemently denied allegations that this plan was implemented to force students to join Food Service. Snyder also denied that he was trying to boost the Inter Residence Council Business (IRCB) refrigerator rental program.

According to Koshar, however, this method was tried here once but students did not comply with the rules and brought refrigerators in at night.

According to the present contract, there is nothing dealing with size limiations on student furnishings or appliances like refrigerators.” A plan of action has already been taken by IRC President Frank Laghezza. He has formed a committee consisting of the three IRC area council presidents, Chuck Froehlich, Lenny Rollins, Phil Dinhoffer and himself, to fully investigate the matter. The committee will print a newsletter informing dorm students of administration guidelines and how IRC will handle any problems. “The administration was giving me the runaround on who made the actual decision and what size limitations were going to be imposed,” Laghezza said. “Also, the only publicity that they had planned to put out was an added rule in the housing contract students pick up during the room lottery.

Wrangling with capitalists More than three years away, the Summer Olympics in Moscow are already the object of controversy and speculation. The recent negotiations between the American television networks and the Soviet Organizing Committee have turned the XXII Olympiad, 1980, into a competition of money and politics. Heralded as “The Great Bidding War of Television,” the negotiations raised serious questions concerning the depths to which a .network had to indebt itself in order to acquire the Broadcasts. The three major American networks first met with Soviet officials in December, 1976. Expecting to pay around $50 million for television rights, all three networks walked out of the negotiations when informed that the price hovered somewhere near the $100 million mark. The American Broadcasting Company (ABC) paid $25 million to televise the last Summer Olympics from Montreal. The Soviets proved more than capable when it came time to wrangle with the capitalist American networks. Sources indicate they received the $50 million demanded for production and equipment costs, plus $35 million for the broadcast rights—a total price tag of $85 million. NBC long ago gave up hope of making money on this purchase. The prestige involved and the possibility of increased Nielsen ratings for programs preceding and following the telecasts, however, must have been powerful enough inducements to set down this record amount of cash. While paying over triple the amount that ABC paid to Montreal, NBC will get 150 hours of coverage compared to the 75 hours aired from the Canadian Olympics. This means, hopefully, more sports time. But the network, through this most recent purchase, incurred a larger debt than $85 million. So many imponderables The production and equipment package that cost Why the exhorbitant price?Besides the fee for $50 million can be translated into finer terms; NBC the broadcast rights, the Soviets wanted $50 million had to submit to considerations other than money. With this $50 million, the Soviets are reportedly purchasing 40 “slow motion” videotape recording machines and 196 color cameras to complement their existing equipment. NBC, then, has assumed a technological debt; the must teach the Russians how to operate the advanced video equipment. In the process, the Russians are looking to raise the stature of their comparatively primitive video technology. “What they want,” says CBS president Robert Wussler, “is a basic technical course in broadcasting.” for basic technical facilities. When the U.S. networks broke off negotiations because of these demands, the possibility of a Moscow Olympics without television arose. Throughout December and January the three network powers considered pooling the spectacle. Through this arrangement they would have rotated the coverage after a joint purchase of the rights. When the impossibility of a triumvirate set-up made itself clear (due to several Federal Communications Commission regulations), the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) withdrew from the competition stating: “The future of the venture is marked by so many imponderables ...’ Fears of censorship Another side of this production and equipment package concerns censorship. The Soviets want their own technicians and cameramen to operate the equipment. Some American network officials fear that the cameras will for this reason focus on feats the Russians want to be seen, possibly denying complete coverage of all events. And since the technological end of the wires will be controlled by Soviet hands, the one area where a network normally has freedom—commentary may be relegated to a less influential position. One sports writer suggests: “About the first time an NBC announcer starts to question the Soviet cheating, somebody will pull the plug.” Also hinted at during the negotiations was the possibility of cultural programming hours centering on Soviet life, which many feel will be segments designed to glorify that country’s political ideology.

He added that this was his own opinion, and not necessarily that of AAUP. UUP Buffalo Chapter President Charles Fall replied to Brown’s accusations saying, “There is no way in my view that the contract erodes tenure. The concept of tenure is very nebulous, coming out of long tradition, and it has really been enforced in a kind of gentleman’s agreement fashion. It never had any real legal status. UUP wants to put some contract support into tenure. the that “It’s evident University is in a period of retrenchment.

Fall claims this action would be illegal, since the Taylor Law requires that all public university and college employees in New York State bargain as a single unit. Brown’s opinion regarding the leveling of the pay scale irritates Fall, who feels that a person getting a $1000 raise whould not be complaining about someone else’s $275. Fall said UUP is not trying to bring down the quality of or make unreasonable demands on SUNY .centers, but rather is the providing lower-level instructors, who do most of the teaching, with an adequate salary. “I’m not sure the detractors, the fat cats, are particularly interested in that,” he added. Fall believes the UUP contract is the best yet, being the result of months of intensive ,14 negotiation. All . votes on the contract must be received by UUP March 7th, and will be counted March 8th. If passed, the contract will be effective through the 1978-79 school year. AAUP can only bid for UUP’s the interim position during periods between contract signings. If the vote endorses the new contract, AAUP will continue its efforts against UUP in 1979. Otherwise, challenge cards will be distributed this month, and AAUP will require the endorsement of about 5000 SUNY staff members (one third of the staff) in order to challenge UUP. If AAUP receives these endorsements, the SUNY staff will then vote on the issue. "He must work to put human military power nation's priori ties and private needs profit above in our " Sponsored by C.

To the Editor A crucial time . . I find it hard to believe that you or any of your reporters didn’t hear about the Christmas bonuses that Art Lalonde gave to certain Sub-Board division directors before it appeared in the paper on Feb. 28. . Today is an important day Today members of the Graduate Student Employees Union are scheduled to meet with President Robert Ketter in Hayes Hall. We hope that all students, especially undergraduates, will turn their attention toward Ketter's replies to the Union demands. The GSEU has called a demonstration and informational picket to assemble at 2:30 p.m. in the Center Lounge of Norton (Squire) Hall. If you have made up your mind to support the GSEU, this is a good time to show it. If you haven't, this is a good time to find out what it's about. . . to show your concern . Why should you support GSEU? I knew about it six days before I read it in The Spectrum', so did many others. We were informed Feb. 23 in a sociology class. What’s the purpose of a newspaper if it doesn’t report what happens when it happens? Furthermore, when you did print the story you didn’t give all the facts. You let Mr. Lalonde defend himself, not mentioning that he didn’t have the authority to give out the money in the first place. He acted entirely upon himself! Playing Santa Claus! Deciding who’s been good and who to give a “gift to.” The article didn’t mention anything at all about corporate embezzlement; or that it is illegal for a not-for-profit corporation to award bonuses. No 'action is being taken against. Lalonde yet, but the B.S.U. is being taken to court over mismanagement of club funds. And how can we trust Mr. Lalonde to sit on a committee to discuss monetary policy changes, when he decides where our money goes without letting us know, let alone consulting us. Why should Sub-Board division directors get bonuses when they are already being paid from the monies of our students’ activities fee. The $400 he gave out could have brought a speaker in; or an issue something for of “New World Orchestra” out; or the students with their money. I thought Sub-Board’s motto is, “We don’t exactly throw your money around.” Possibly for this reason alone (although there are many others) we should consider having our student government for 'course crediL Then there would be no stipended positions and no monetary rewards. Anyone could take part in student government by registering for the class (or just attending it). There wouldn’t be a contest among the parties on who can get the best deal on drinks at a local bar to get elected. Petitions to hold a carried by graduate student staff. The Union has fought for better wages, guarantee of tuition waivers now threatened by cutbacks, comprehensive medical insurance and worker's compensation, and restoration of cut graduate and teaching assistantships, But the Union has addressed itself to issues affecting the entire University, not just the plight of graduate and teaching assistants. The issues which concern the Union are also crucial to I am shocked at the article on Arthur LaLende handing out bonuses. Mr. LaLende claims to take the whole burden for his actions on himself. I’m very happy to hear that, the boy has spine, but an unpleasant amount of gall. However, this doesn’t mitigate the fact that it was my money that he’s willing to take all the credit of giving away. A bonus is not specified in the Rules I don’t believe. Mr; LaLende claims & Regulations, that all those who received bonuses “deserved” them. Mr. LaLende made the decision, however. I don’t believe anyone deserves any bonus whatsoever, and since it is my money the generous employer is giving away, I think that ought to mean something. In the first place, no one told these people to serve in the positions they serve, they asked for it and if their jobs aren’t done in a superior manner they should be kicked out. If they (the jobs) are done in a superior manner, they ought to be retained. It is that simple. The money ought to be handed back or the recipients and Mr. LaLende should be prosecuted. This is especially important since this “bonus” was handed out in secret, like graft, ominously like corruption. We are treated to front page features on the corruption of the BSD percent, you might expect ten to fifteen percent of the admitees of Mr. LaLende belongs to the very same group of people who so righteously condemn the Blacks for their irresponsibility with student funds. I would far prefer to have the Blacks be unaccountable for $680 of money they spent to fund their activities for! people at large than have one dime go as a “bonus” to people belonging to some sort of pompous ruling clique whom I suspect I dislike and disapprove of in any case. The hullabaloo over the BSU has often been characterized by the Blacks as having racial overtones. I suspect this is true. After all, if the Blacks aren’t permitted to give themselves a little outing on student money then why should the whites? Racism, or some other type of repugnant arrogance is probably the answer. I suggest a thorough investigation into the a matter, full disclosure of all suspected referendum on a student government for course improprieties and, if the situation warrants, credit are in the Record Coop.

The much talked about* “Christmas Ass-Wipping” was the high point of tensions that had been building since the Funkedelics concert. Apparently there was bitterness on the part of BSD stemming primarily from political power-plays within SA. It was felt that UUAB had usurped power over minority concerts that, based on an understanding by all parties concerned, rested previously with BSU. (Whether it was ever correct to segregate concerts is a question we should all be asking at this point, but to get back to the main issue.) Taking this power from BSU was interpreted by many minority students as questioning the ability of BSU to manage and stage concerts or to describe it in one word racism. In other words, UUAB was interpreted as saying to BSU, “You are not sufficiently competent to put on your own concerts, therefore, we will do it for you.” This misunderstanding never cleared up (due to a lack of communication by all parties concerned) and rumors, gossip and misinformation were allowed to spread unchecked continuing to feed the fire. The Norman Connors-Vicky Sue Robinson concert boycott was BSU’s response and was quite successful, the concert bringing a 10,000 dollar loss. After this, whatever chance there was for communication and reconciliation shrank to almost nothing as the student government split into two separate camps. Those who dared cross the line were labeled either nigger-lovers or ucle Toms. The issue of mismanagement of money, whether it should prove to be true or false, was never the primary issue. It was a power struggle which BSU apparently lost. It retaliated with the boycott. The — — . . . David J.

The Spectrum Student Periodical, Inc. Republication of any matter herein without the express consent of the Editor-in-Chief is strictly forbidden. Editorial policy is determined by the Editor-in-Chief executive committee, with Steve Spiegel leading charge, then retaliated by refusing to advance any more money to BSU. I am not saying the executive committee did not have legal justification to do this but it is obvious that this was done, not on its own merits, but because it was something very handy to throw back in BSU’s face. This set the stage for the “Christmas Ass-Wipping” and BSU’s subsequent trial and conviction (the media-event and the audit) in The Spectrum. There was fault on all sides but for some reason the full story was never told. I feel the only way the matter can be cleared up now is to see the transcripts of the University hearing concerning John Lott, George Thomas, Steve Spiegel and Robert Tribble. I have asked to see the transcripts but I am told by Dr. Ronald Stein, assistant to President Ketter, who also seems to have appointed himself chief legal counsel of the administration, that 1 have no legal right to see them. Since the leadership of SA and all of its sub-organizations, however inept and petty are representatives of the (67 going on 70 dollar) taxpayers the students. I feel we have the right to see the transcripts. I will be taking Stein up on his suggestion that I take that matter to HEW after 1 receive a written denial of my request from the appropriate bureaucrat. 1 feel the administration has been trying to keep the matter quiet, not in the interests of the parties concerned or the undergraduate student community, but only to avoid controversy. This is bullshit. The administration (Ketter) has handled the entire situation very poorly and should resign at once. We have our own “Baby Watergate” right in Hayes Hall. Now is the time to demand the truth and get to the heart of the matter. If Ketter hasn’t enough backbone to publicly comment on the matter because it is a little too sensitive, then he has no business being president of this University. Perhaps it is time for new administrations at both the SA and the University itself. _ , - Gilbert Lawrence Page six . The Spectrum . Monday, 7 March 1977 �Guest Opinion by Drew S. Mendoza I’ve written this arti.de to tell anyone who happens to read this my feelings about a few things related to S.A. and more specifically, money. For those of you not acquainted with me, 1 am the Director of the Community Action Corps, as well as being a student here. I’ve participated in several S.A. related activities. So much for my history. As 1 mentioned above, the problem is Mandatory Student Fee money. This money is the backbone of S.A. which also makes it the life line of every single student club, organization, and activity on this campus: encompassing everything from the accounting club to the ski club and everything in between. Being a Social Work major, I do not claim to be the economic wizard of Norton Hall. However, I have spent enough time with CAC, Sunshine House, and S.A. to have a good understanding of how the system works, i.e., budgets, etc. What follows is my interpretation of how the budgets are created and awarded. To begin with all the clubs, etc. hand in a budget proposal to S.A. So far so good. 1 think some discussion about budgets, especially large budgets, is war rented here. Perhaps a hyperthetical example would help to explain the point I’m trying to make,. Imagine that Joe X is the president of a club on campus that uses Mandatory Student Fees. Let us also imagine that his club needs $20,000 in order to reach its goals. Now then, logic would dictate, to me anyway, that our friend Joe would request a budget of $20,000. Right? WRONG! What really happens is this: Joe will make a budget request for $26,000 claiming that S.A. might just as well give him nothing if he doesn’t get his $26,000 because he will not be able to function adequately with anything less. This is called padding the budget. What happens now is that S.A. reviews the budget and recommends that Joe gets, let’s say $23,000 (you see S.A. assumes that everyone pads their budgets anyway so they can always cut a budget to an extent). In review then we have an organization who only needs $20,000 but requests $26,000 assuming that S.A. will cut it down, which S.A. does and makes a final recommendation of $23,000. To make a long story sfiort Joe X now has $3,000 more than he needs and some other club is going to receive less money than they need. The other club is likely to be one of the smaller organizations since money can be equaled with power. The less money you have the less power. It’s a lousy thing, but it is reality nonetheless, until now. . I'm not doing this to give anybody a snow job. CAC has been as guilty of this as any other drib in the past, but the time has come for a change. I have sent a letter to the S.A. treasurer instructing him to take back $2,000 from this year’s CAC budget for the simple, purpose that we don’t need it. Not that we couldn’t spend it (I’d love to have the office carpeted) but we just don’t need it. Let me leave you with this thought. Imagine what would happen if all the clubs, that could afford it, either returned money that they don't need or better yet, stopped padding their budgets. There would not only be enough money to award a decent budget to the smaller clubs, but r and this is perhaps most important of all, we wouldn’t have to raise the amount of Mandatory Student Fees to $70.00. If this article is published. I’ll no doubt be viewed as a troublemaker by many of my peers, but being the martyr that 1 am, I’m willing to sacrifice both CAC’s and my own popularity for the good of the entire student body. i 1 GSEU: deja vu To the Editor. Abortion debate criticized To the editor: As members of the University Community, we like to bring an awareness to others concerning a debate between Bill Baird, of the Bill Baird'Center, formerly The Parents Aid Society, and Jean Koch, a member of the Buffalo Right-to-Life Organization, sponsored by the, S.A. Speakers Bureau, on March 2. First, though it may have been termed a debate, we feel this was not the case at all. Mr. Baird is a national figure with extensive experience and knowledge, and it was an insult to his intelligence and ours to be matched with Jean Koch, who was not prepared on a comparable level, in regard to either facts or qualifications. In addition to this debate being poorly matched, it was also poorly organized. There was no format and this became more obvious as the debate continued. During the question and answer period especially, whatever guidelines were being used only served to hinder a logical progression of speakers. Upon speaking to Mr. Baird after the debate, several other irregularities became apparent, ne was the fact that the Right-to-Life Organization was on campus the preceding day, with propaganda including films, and Mr. Baird was not even given the courtesy of this knowledge, in order to respond accordingly. Further disregard of Mr. Baird’s rights as an invited guest was shown by an absence of information provided to him about the general forum and his opponent’s credentials. Saddest of all was the verbal abuse and personal attacks directed to so dedicated an individual as Mr. Baird, irregardless of any “moral” stance. It was also disappointing to note the lack of community turnout on so controversial and important an issue. To add to this, there was an obvious absence of outside media coverage. The power of interests pushing for an anti-abortion amendment is tremendous, and the consequences of such actions are far-reaching. This reality cannot be ignored. It is vital that concerned individuals defend their rights and freedom of choice by contacting their legislators in support of the U.S. Supreme Court decision in favor of legalized would abortions. Susan Marafind Maureen Hanley Correction February 23 article on the Graduate Employees’ Union, it was .stated that (GSEU lawyer Sue) Silber seemed to feel optimistic with regard to escaping any penalties should there be any prosecution.” Any impression that Silber was advocating or condoning any evasion or violation of the law is incorrectly inferred. In Students a If the sentiments in Mr. Vijay Patel’s letter to The Spectrum last Friday sounded remarkably like those of the Ketter administration, we suggest you call Dr. Ketter’s office at 831-3301 and ask for Mr. Patel; you will find that he is employed there. Rather than being the concerned but uninvolved graduate student his letter implies him to be, he is in fact an employee in Dr. Ketter’s office. What we have here is a repetition of last year’s ploy published in the Reporter in the midst of the G.S.E.U. strike vote. Only this time the administration is not even so honest as to put forward their positions and distorted information in their own name, but instead attempt the charade of having a graduate student mouth them. As graduate student employees in the English Department and active supporters of the efforts of the GSEU to defend the rights of graduate employees, we feel it necessary to respond to the extreme distortions and in many cases actual untruths put forward by Mr. Patel. Mr. Patel’s opening paragraph should be sufficient to demonstrate his lack of knowledge regarding the issues and actions he so willingly denigrates. The GSEU has not, as Patel asserts, decided to strike from March 14 through 19. The G.S.E.U. has called for a strike referendum during 18; a strike the. week of March 14 through referendum is a vote during which the individual TAs and GAs, not the union leadership will decide whether or not a strike is necessary if the quality of graduate employment and education is ever to be , improved. Let us attempt to clarify some of the inaccuracies and untruths: One) Dr. Ketter can act on many of the issues we are presenting, e.g., class size, affirmative action, 2 year/4 year rule, workman’s compensation, campus security, etc. In addition he can insure that the state officials who do have the power to negotiate on the other items will meet with us. This same office, the Office of Employee Relations (O.E.R.) can voluntarily recognize us; it is Dr. Ketter’s responsibility to convice them to do so. Two) The allocation of TA/GA lines is a budgetary item like any other. It is included in the budget if it,is necessary that it be there. A contract with the university, like the faculty contract, but not in conflict with it, will insure the presence of those lines in the budget. Lines which are contracted for are fixed budgetary items. Three) Mr. Patel’s objections relating to tuition waivers, l.R.S. and union dues are based on incorrect information. First, every public statement made by the GSEU with respect to tuition waivers indicates that we consider the maintenance of our tuition waivers absolutely crucial. It, or a sufficient salary amount, will be in the contract we negotiate. The statement about l.R.S. is simply not true, graduate employees on this campus are being taxed in greater numbers every year and those graduate students who are audited have been required to pay back taxes for the years when they claimed exemption. There is no guaranteed exemption for graduate employees at this time. Patel’s belief that TAs and GAs would be forced to pay exorbitant union dues is a hypothetical statement having no relation to any present or proejcted practices on the part of ,the GSEU. Union dues are ten dollars per academic year, » and as New York State has a right-to-work law, dues are only collected from voluntary donors. Four) Patel’s objection which claims that only lazy and incompetent graduate students need more than four years of funding to complete work for their degrees ignores the actual situation in which we find ourselves. National averages for degree completion are well over four years, so much so that on this campus some departments. Physics for example, have extended the time for available funding. As our numbers decrease and class sizes increase, TAs and GAs are subjected to an increased workload which takes time away from our academic work. We are not asking for open-ended employment; we are insisting that the realities of the present situation be faced and that funding be extended for the time it has been demonstrated it takes to earn the degree. Five) Patel claims that we live off the taxpayers’ money; perhaps that is his sense of his position in Ketter’s office, but it is certainly not how we feel about our work. We are employees of the State University and through our employment we perform vital services without which this University could not effectively function. We do not conclude, as Patel does, that we would be better leaving the University and working for four and five times our present income, but rather our commitment to our students, our academic work and the future of public education creates a dissatisfaction which must be turned into active protest. Six) Patel claims that the GSEU’s negotiating stance of academic amnesty for undergraduates was a ploy to gain support. Untrue. The public articulation of that stance came about only after with our very active extensive meetings undergraduate support committee. We do not need to make false promises to the undergraduates, our interests and needs coincide. Seven) Patel criticizes the GSEU for not recognizing the administration as another group working to better conditions. He cites their record of four years of publicly claiming more funds for TAs and GAs as its first priority to be indicative of administrative concern. We question this for two reasons. One, what confidence should we have in an administration which is repeatedly unable to make any headway on its priorities?!! this administration is- our advocate, it is certainly not a successful one. Second, we question the very notion that graduate education and employment is a priority, having seen hothing in our three years on this campus to substantiate such a claim. Promises do not indicate support or activism. We don’t want promises; we want a contract. Finally we have to ask Patel, what do you propose to do instead?You criticize but you offer no alternatives. Would you wait patiently, would you petition, would you write letters, would you j |. ; 1 i i ! j tried these things. You j propose nothing. We believe that we speak tor many graduate employees when we say that this kind of i lobby; we have already with the acquiescence when faced deterioration of our university can not continue. It has gone on for much too long already. We support the GSEU strike referendum and encourage other members of the U.B. community to do so as well. passive Monday, 7 March 1977 Vicki Hill Michael Sartisky . The Spectrum .

What we have to do is -correct these misconceptions.” “many by Beth Simon Spectrum Staff Writer that The current decline in City University (CUNY) registration has sparked a wide ranging program to make enrollment more attractive. CUNY’s uncertain future has also prompted proposals by Governor Carey’s Commission on post-secondary the education to reorganize structure of City and State Universities into two new statewide systems. CUNY has cited many reasons for the falloff in registration them is Among numbers. widespread student apathy. “They see their brothers and sisters who have degrees and they can’t get jobs, so they figure why should we bother,” explained Angelo B, Proto, Director of the CUNY Office of Admissions Services. Another reason for reduced registration numbers is a strong to tuition among adversity Tuition was freshmen. prospective levied on CUNY students for the first time in City University’s history this past September. Proto argued that with the financial aid package available, most needy students can still have all or the major part of their tuition subsidized. He said further that Deadlines virtually eliminated In an attempt to do just that. City University has begun a serious campaign to increase its enrollment figures. Recruiters and counselors have been sent into the city’s high schools with shortened, simplified registration forms and financial aid information. They have also been empowered to grant “instant admissions.” Thus far about 22,000 students have been accepted. to Besides its campaign disseminate information, CUNY has also lowered its admissions standards. Qualifying grades for such senior colleges as Brooklyn, Queens, Hunter, and City have been lowered from 87 to 80. The first deadline for February admissions was extended to March 1 and then virtually eliminated. This allows CUNY freshmen to be admitted, during the first week of every month through September. In an effort to befriend CUNY’s legislators, non-city Board of Higher Education voted last week to charge out-of-city New service for handicapped New Office open to serve students with any physical medical handicap.

This has resulted in a $250.00 savings for out of city residents. Additional $10 million asked 32,000 high school Only seniors have applied for fall admissions thus far, compared with 46,000 at this time last year. According to J. Joseph Meng, for Chancellor Vice Administrative Affairs, the University’s projected goal is 35.000 freshmen. He contends that if no more than the current 32.000 apply, “we’ll accept The Stanford Daily, after six years of litigation, was awarded S47.500 in legal fees Feb. 2 by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in a search suit against the Palo Alto, Calif., Police Department.

End of Geneseo momentum; beginning of Buffalo rally. Cousins also thought the team was rebounding very well, and was boxing out better than it had been at the start of the year. Hills grabbed an offensive rebound midway through the second half, and put it in, to continue Buffalo’s rally. That gave the Bulls a six-point lead, and minutes later, Dellwardt also put in an offensive rebound to increase Buffalo’s lead even further. Buffalo’s offense consistently found the open man in the second half, and as a result, they forced very few shots. Harvey, O’Malley and Frazier were all on target in the second half, and Buffalo outscored the Knights 26-10 over the game’s last thirteen minutes. “We worked a lot on our defense yesterday,” Buffalo coach Liz CousThs. “We were committing ourselves too early, trying for too many steals. I think we’re getting better there.” Inde'ed, it was Buffalo’s defense which shut out Geneseo for the first nine minutes and twenty seconds of the game. The Knights couldn’t get tpo many inside shots, and when they did get inside, they were pressured intp missing their shots. Buffalo led 11-0, although their offense had been a bit sluggish.

The “University of New York” would consist of City University’s graduate center and its four oldest City, Hunter, senior colleges Brooklyn, and Queens. Included as well would be the State University’s (SUNY) centers at Albany, Binghamton, Buffalo and Stony Brook. The “Empire State University” would be comprised of the remaining City arid State colleges organized into three regional groupings. The Metropolitan area grouping would cover New York City and Nassau and Suffolk — Counties. The proposed reorganization has aroused sharp criticism from City University officials. A statement condemning the proposal was issued jointly by Robert J. Kibbes, Chancellor of City University, and Harold M. Jacobs, Chairman of the City’s Board of Education. “It is difficult to understand either the educational or fiscal benefits to be derived from the proposed arrangement. It would also appear that the proposal Would significantly and adversely affect the range nad quality of educational opportunities available to residents of New York • City,” it read Abolish tenure, salary increment CUNY’s faculty is not pleased with the proposal either. Irwin H. Polishook, President of the Professional Staff Congress, stated that the goals of the reorganization, could be accomplished within the existing system. The New York Times reported Dr. Polishook as saying that the only rationale he could see for the proposed arrangement was that it would save money by abolishing City University’s faculty tenure and salary increment system the State University does not have. The plans for City University are now very tentative but no matter what the outcome, the situation does not look bright. The dropping of the admissions average from 87 to 80 is bound to have disastrous effects on the academic future of the system. quoted The Times one University official as saying, “You take a high school senior. He might have an 80 average. But he’s had no trigonometry, no foreign language. His 8 0 average guarantees his entry. Then, when he’s in', what’s to become of him, say in an atmosphere such as that in Queens College? I’ll tell you, he’s doomed to fail.” GSEU action schedule following schedule was set by the Graduate Student Employees Union: Monday, March 7: 2:TO meeting at Norton Center Lounge followed by rally; 3:00 Hayes Hall meeting with President Kelter Tuesday: Strike Education Day at Amherst Campus Wednesday: Strike Education Day at Ridge Lea Thursday: SA-GSA-GSEU rally against the cutbacks; Strike Education Day at Main Street Friday: Informational Picket at Main Street, p.m.; Moving Thrater; Ketter-GSA Public 30-1:30 11: Meeting, 3 to 5 p.m. in Norton Conference Theater.

Wearing jeans and down jacket, he puts a cigarette to his mouth. Moving quickly, he’s a little hurried, a little thin. In his wallet lies a silver badge. Dan Jay, 24, is part of a six-man plainclothes unit operating within the Investigative Division of University Police. The Special Problems Unit (SPU) was bom on April 19, 1976. “The problems we had were getting out of hand,” says Investigator Frank A. Panek, “so we decided to try a new approach. The trend today in law enforcement is to blend into the crowd and catch crime when it happens.” SPU is responsible for non-dormitory crimes, which are committed mostly by outsiders to the University community. “We handle crimes that develop a pattern,” explains Jay, “a pattern that we then interrupt.” Regular officers do the initial work going out on calls as they come in and writing up the reports. SPU does follow-up information gathering and surveillance which often lead to arrest. “Last year we made over 50 percent of the arrests in the department,” reports Jay. “We recovered $6247 worth of stolen goods. The men in our unit are aggressive. We enjoy our work and often put in our own time.” Chet Menktena, the unit’s newest member, agrees: “It’s a lot more interesting than giving out parking tickets.” In a very quiet deal last April, Robert J. Kibbee, Chancellor of the City University of New York (CUNY), and other University officials signed a “Program of Cooperation” between the National University of Iran and CUNY. The Shah of Iran has already made a down payment of at least $100,000, and more funds are reportedly forthcoming. This exchange • operation will be based at Queens College, with the computer sciences and linguistics departments heavily involved. One of the most criticized aspects of the program is the setting up at Queens of a center to coordinate all the National University of Iran’s American collegiate programs. This center will maintain a list of all Iranian graduate students here, whether from the National University or not. What this means is that it will now be possible for the Shah and his secret police (SAVAK) to have a continually updated account of not only the academic records of Iranian students in America, but also diverse anecdotal information about their activities in and out of class. Feature Editor — Staked out The Special Problems Unit had its proving ground in the parking lots, which were hit last summer with massive bicycle thefts. “We had ten and fifteen men staked out in the lots some nights,” recalls Panek. Ripoffs went down 50 percent as a result of the campaign and its arrests. Two purse theft rings were also uncovered last year. Over the past two years there have been numerous reports of the “Lockwood Flasher,” a man who would expose himself to women in the library. “We cleared it up recently with one arrest,” says Jay. “One guy admitted to 15 counts of Public Lewdness.” SPU has had no concentrated narcotics efforts, Jay claims. “We don’t bother with it unless it is brought to our attention.” When asked about the February 9 marijuana arrest of six students whose car was followed from Porter parking lot, he replied; “They were smoking right in front of us.” Confiscated drugs and drug paraphenalia are kept locked up in the evidence closet for use in court and are later, Brutality, repression In an article in The Village Voice, Nat Hentoff said, “A quiet $100,000 deal transmogrifies CUNY into a disgusting toady to the Shah and offers a boon to his secret police.” This past October, Le Monde, a Parisien daily, declared that although there are many candidates for the nation which most ferociously violates its —continued on page 4— Camaval carnival The Carnaval of Brazil, which saw throngs of people dancing wildly until the early morning hours last year and the year before, will take place in the Fillmore Room of Norton Union tomorrow, Saturday night, from 8 p.m. until 3 a.m. Sponsored by the Brazilian Club and SA, with support from Spanish Department graduate students, the event has been described by a member of the Spanish Department as “the ultimate in ■ letting it all hang out, Brazilian style.” v Featured will be a ten piece band from Brazil admission will be $2.00 for all.

They were all outsiders.” Other larcenies are logged on a separate sheet and they too are examined for patterns. SPU is in constant communication with other police departments, including those in Buffalo and Amherst. From them, they receive arrest lists which are studied carefully for nearby addresses and familiar names. Information and photographs of these people are kept on file. SPU can then recognize them on campus. If someone becomes a “good one who is seen in crime vicinities and/or has a past suspect” he will be tailed. “I can tell if somebody belongs on criminal record campus just by looking at them,” says Jay. The men use two-way radios which operate on an unlisted frequency, insuring that their communication will not be monitored. The cars are unmarked. “One day I was in the ummarked car and someone came up and asked, ‘Can I park here or will you have me towed away’?” one of the men relates. An evidence kit is carried in the car which is equipped with Polaroid and 35mm cameras and telephoto lenses. Also in the car is a monitor radio which receives calls from sheriff, state, Buffalo and Amherst police departments and a fingerprint kit. Asked if he ever feels sneaky, Jay replied no. “Crime on campus is a serious problem. You have to play at their game and beat them in order to win.” — — - WFVE GONE DISCOUNT!

He sustained bruised ribs along with a possible fracture. Spitz was making his way toward Clement Hall at about 8:30 p.m. when several persons grabbed him from behind. While at least two people held him another struck him in the ribs with some kind of a stick, he said. He then began to fall, so his assailants let him go and he was able to kick one of them in the face. At that point he was then grabbed and thrown on the ground, he added. According to Spitz, there were at least four people involved in the assualt but he said he would be unable to identify any of them. He said that nothing was stolen and that nothing was said.

' \ Show cause action dropped voting SA booth may mix-up Taxpayers’ suit will proceed against Coop invalidate SASU election The Appellate Division of the State Supreme Court in Rochester unanimously upheld a decision dismissing one of two suits registered by Cavages Inc. against the University concerning the Student Association (SA) Record Coop. The show cause action suit, an attempt to shut down Coop operations, was dropped last week, while the Court ordered the taxpayer’s suit to proceed. The Court also upheld a lower court ruling which allows SA to intervene in the suit bn the side of the respondent, University President Robert Ketter; In the taxpayers’ suit Cavages contends that state funds and/or property are being improperly spent. The other suit, which was dismissed, maintained, under Article 78, that Ketter acted arbitrarily and beyond his authority. When it was announced that Cavages had filed suit, SA made a motion to intervene on behalf of Ketter. SA and the University also made motions to have the Article 78 suit dismissed. Testy grounds In dismissing the Article 78 proceedings, the Court Stated, “While it is clear that Cavages has suffered competitive injury, that alone is not a sufficient basis to confer standing upon one who seeks to challenge an official determination which increases competition by allowing an additional competitor to enter the business field.” Charles H. Dougherty, attorney for Cavages Inc., said that since the taxpayers’ suit was new and untested he also filed the Article 78 suit as he “did not want to take a chance.” “What we were also looking for was a clarification for which course of action to take,” said Dougherty. In allowing SA to intervene, the Court said, “A third party will generally be permitted to intervene where he has an actual and ultimate interest in the result of the litigation . . . since the co-operative is a member organization of the SA and is funded solely by mandatory activity fees which are adminstered by the SA, the ability pi the SA to fund one of its member organizations is, at least, indirectly challenged should Cavages prevail, the members of the SA will be adversely affected by the closing of the record cooperative. Under such circumstances, intervention was properly allowed.” . . . Mixed emotions Reactions to the decisions are mixed. Bruce Insana, President of the Coop, was “happy with the decision. It will not affect the Coop except maybe to boost our morale,” he said, adding, “We don’t feel we hurt Cavages because we only sell to students. However, if they [Cavages] claim they are losing money because of us, how come they expanded and opened up a few more stores.” . Dougherty expressed ambivalence about the ruling. “Wje. wditi looking for clarification over which course of action to take. We would have been a lot happier if the court ruled in our favor,” he said. However, Dougherty was pleased that the Court recognized that “Cavages has suffered competitive injury,” claiming this as a victory. But Richard Lippes, counsel for the defense, disagreed. “It doesn’t matter to the defense of our case whether or not Cavages has lost income. Our defense is based on different grounds,” he said. Both lawyers were uncertain as to when the trial would begin. by John Reiss Campus Editor A serious irregularity involving the operation of voting booths may lead to the invalidation and rescheduling of the election for Student Association of the State University (SASU) delegates. As a result of the problem, students were not able to vote for any three SASU candidates, as they were entitled. Three candidates were listed in one verticle column while two others were placed in the adjacent verticle line. However, only one vote could be cast in each column, precluding voting for two or three candidates in the same column. Upon being advised of the situation at Student 1 p.m. Wednesday, approximately Schwartz ordered President Steve Association (SA) all voting for SASU be completed by write-in ballot. Although booth voting for SASU was halted by 1:30 p.m. with tape being placed over the candidates’ names, over 300 votes had already been cast. Schwartz placed the blame on the Board of Elections and termed the error “incredible.” He said the‘ballot was arranged so students could vote for any, but no more than, three SASU candidates. High cost At a meeting of the Elections and Credentials Committee (E&C) late Wednesday night, it was decided that SASU candidates would be queried Thursday on their feelings about the situation. If any of the candidates requested the election be nullified, a new election will have to be held. The candidates’ opinions were not available at press time, but many members of E&C felt certain a second election was inevitable. The elction would be held “as soon as possible,” according to SA Executive Vice President Steve Spiegel. It is conceivable that election could coincide with the decision on a referendum spearheaded by Micheal (Lev) Levinson, calling for academic credit to be given to SA officials in lieu of stipends. According to E&C member Lynn Bittner, such an lection would cost SA approximately $700. Earlier Wednesday E&C heard evening grievances from presidential candidate David Brownstein concerning allegedly illegal actions taken by members of the University Union Activities Board (UUAB) and the Aurora party,against Insight, Brownstein’s ticket. Profanity,, tears and harsh feelings resulted as Aurora and Insight officials clashed with E&C on a number of issues, including Brownstein’s contention that UOAB was deliberately placing posters over his campaign ads. E&C unanimously decided “UUAB was not working for Aurora. A letter will be written to Art Lalonde asking him to deduct a sum from UUAB’s publicity director Harold Leftkowitz’s stipend if it continues.” Another furor arose when Brownstein charged that athletic instructors (coaches) were guilty of coaxing their students in classes to vote for Dennis Delia, one of Brownstein’s opponents, who has been a supporter of athletics as a member of the Student Athletic Review Board (SARB). E&C ruled, “The President of the SA will notify the Athletic Department not to allow instructors to verbally, or by any other means, support or urge voting for Aurora, or any other candidate, on class time.” However, E&C refused to ask coaches not to talk to their teams about the election because, according to Spiegel, “We have no right to do so,” , Formal protest The Coop, which was begun in 1971, was shut down in October 1975 by Edward Doty, Vice Presiden for Finance and Management. In his memo to former Student Association President Michele Smith he stated he “was in receipt of a formal protest from Carl C. Cavage, President of Cavages.” The complaint and the Coop’s failure to comply with the guidelines established in 1971 were cited as reasons for his decision. Students formally protested the closing by holding rallies and marches on the Coop’s behalf. In a matter of hours, a petition with over 4000 signatures was presented to Ketter. Representatives of both the Coop and SA met with Ketter and Doty and, after three meetings, the decision was reversed. The Coop was re-opened in January 1976 under strict financial guidelines, limiting both its inventory and sales, and prompting Cavages Inc. to file suit against the University last spring.

The Drop In Center offers immediate counseling to any member of the University community, on any problem that may be bothering them. There are no applications, no records, no revealing of names. People are encouraged to come if they need only to talk to someone about a problem in day-to-day life. “Sometimes it’s easier to talk to somebody you don’t know rather than your friends,” Adema explained. “We never ask anybody’s name and there’s no follow-up committment to come back.” : not succeeded. GSA urges full recognition of Shanghai Communique President Nixon and late Chinese Premier Chou En-lai. It also signals the time that has long come to pass to bring the US-China relations, into a good, respectful perspective. Since after Truman’s era, unfortunately, US-China relations have been distorted as the US government mistakenly became hostile toward the majority of the Chinese people by maintaining military and diplomatic ties with the then ousted Chiang regime on Taiwan, This very fact has now been long time proven since the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949. Today, implementation by the US government of the Shanghai Communique is the only essential prerequisite to the fundamental recognition of the territorial integrity of the Chinese people: “The United States acknowledges - that all Chinese on either side of the Taiwan Strait maintain there is but one China and that Taiwan is part of China. The United States government does not challenge that position.” It also reaffirms that Taiwan’s status must be answered by the Chinese people themselves. However, by still maintaining military and Those who come to the Drop-tn Center, like the volunteer staff diplomatic ties with the Chiang regime in 1977, the US government is actually preventing the Chinese which counsels there, represent a cross section of University life.

Since its inception five years ago, the Drop-In Center has gradually increased its visibility on campus, and now counsels about 500 students a year. But the Center staff still feels they are difficult to find in their current locations, and are hampered by a lack of publicity. They also indicated an awareness that their hours preclude some students from visiting. Even so, they hope the opening of a new room at Amherst is “just the beginning.” The Drop-In Center is open at Amherst Monday through Friday from 12:30-4:30 p.m. On the Main Campus the center is open from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. ID validation Students can have their ID cards validated for the spring semester in Foster 16 Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays from noon till 3:30 p.m. The office is also open Thursday evenings from 6 to 9 p.m. Students should be aware that they must bring schedule cards along with their ID cards to avoid hassles over identification.

In other areas, such as foreign policy, literature, health care, etc., Hua carried on consistently the policies laid down by Chairman Mao. His thesis on being botK “red and expert” was met with great enthusiasm on the part of the Chinese people. The arrest of the gang of four touched off a nationwide mass debate throughout China. The level of mass participation in the movement is no less than that of the Cultural Revolution in the sixties. Such a mass movement cannot possibly be resulted from mere “personality conflicts” or “power struggle of the politburo members,” as often presented in the U.S. press. The Chinese people, who have been long tampered by so many political movements is not that easy to be manipulated by individuals. This is precisely the reason why Lin Piao and the “gang of four” had play the US government, on this 5th anniversary of the of the Shanghai Communique, the US government must respect the basic internal human right of the Chinese people to solve the Taiwan question by themselves, and move rapidly to establish full diplomatic relations between the United States of America and the People’s Republic of China. To this end, the US government must only take four steps. signing 1. Remove all US forces and military installations from Taiwan; 2. Abrogate the mutual defense treaty negotiated with the ousted Chiang regime on Taiwan in 1954 (P.T.O.): 3. Withdraw diplomatic recognition of the Chiang regime on Taiwan; and 4. Formally recognize the People’s Republic of China as the sole legal territorial integrity and government of the Chinese people and establish diplomatic relations with it. Soonest implementation of the Shanghai Communique by the US government conforms the common and sincere desire of both the American and Chinese peoples across the Pacific and Continent Europe.

Hentoff asked, “What self-respecting institution of higher learning would become affiliated with a patron who literally fries his opponents?” It is a fact that over 50 American colleges and universities have concluded similar pacts with the Shah. The list compiled by the American Council on Education, includes Brown, University of California, Harvard (including the medical school), Michigan and Michigan State, University of Pennsylvania, Georgetown and the Yale School of Medicine. Hentoff cited the section on exchange studies in Iranian languages, culture, and history as an example of the “academic fraudulence” of the Queens College program. “Languages” means Persian, because the Shah has banned the use of other languages even though at least 60 percent of the Iranese people are Azerbaijani, Turkish, Arabic, Kurdish and member — of other minorities. The Shah also has very clear preferences in books, plays and poems, having made it a criminal offense to possess many modem works, let alone write them. Hentoff commented, “The only fruitful seminars in contemporary Iranian literature would have to be held in the Shah’s prisons.” David Speidel, dean of the Science Faculty at Queens, said that he wants to help the Iranian people deal with their “urban environment.” Queens College can be of technoligical use because clean air benefits all, even dismembered prisoners. Joseph Murphy, former president of Queens and a strong advocate of the pact, said that in his search to create jobs, “he wasn’t concerned with ideological niceties, and that the exchange will “teach freedom” to Iranian students. Linguistics Professor at Queens Charles Cairns, the leader of the opposition to the program, replied, It was because of the pre-Shah freedom at Queens that young Iranians came here to study in the first place. Now this setup betrays them.” SAVAK thrives on such educational integrity �AMA, despite opposition profits on Medicare , Editor’s note: This is the last article in a four-part series on the American Medical Association.

They said that UC lawyers could not -demonstrate past instances of discrimination against minority applicants. Had they shown that an affirmative-action program was necessary to remedy obvious racial inequities, UC might have won. Minority attorneys don’t complain directly at the court’s reasoning, but rather at the lawyers failure to produce evidence of past discrimination in admitting students to the Davis med school. Admission records show that during the school’s first year, 1968, in fact, no Chicano or black students were admitted, and in 1969 only three of the school’s 50 students were minorities. Since the case to come before the U.S. court next October or November is an appeal of the California ruling, no additional evidence beyond that which was presented for the state decision September 1976 can be submitted. Reidhaar denies the accusations that UC presented a weak case. He says the evidence submitted to the Court contained “a great deal of statistical information and documentation.” The UC counselor points to recognition by the majority of California Justices of the “importance of • minorities getting in (to legal and medical schools) so that more professionals will return to serve the poor communities.” With this admission, in fact, the Court suggested that the University try an admissions policy based on the applicants economic instead of racial disadvantages.

As a recent article syndicated by Pacific News Service points out, these groups believe that if the reverse discrimination issue must be heard by the Supreme Court, the UC regents should not be the ones offering the defense. Although they hope UC will win Bakke, many of the organizations express discontent with the way UC has treated the issue. They point out, in the PNS article, that lawyers for the Regents only presented one affadavit and one deposition when the California Supreme Court heard the case. That, lawyers for the groups say, is a questionably small amount of evidence considering the profound nature of the issue. One black lawyer remarked, “All the University had to lose was a program they never wanted.” His comment, not outstanding among minority attorneys, stems mainly from the conservative nature of the majority of UC Regents, most of whom were appointed by former governor Ronald Reagan. • Preceeded by a free suppper at 6:00 pm Sponsored by Wesley Foundation �Tuition Increases across the nation by Steve Lemken Special to The Spectrum 9CPS) — In the wake of the maintenance, fuel costs and salaries for faculty and other employees have skyrocketed, with university officials holding little announcement of Carter’s budget hope for for higher education which agreements slashed campus-based student aid by $582 million and reduced the number of awards available by 885,000, the nation-wide tuition increases are hitting students like a funeral hits the closest of kin. Students are going to have to dig harder and deeper for the cash or else many may have to quit until, unless, funds become or accessible. Up in the Big Sky country of Montana, non-resident tuition fees were upped $400 while residents will have to pay one dollar more for each quarter hour of credit. At the University of Montana, the non-resident student will be paying $1,921 and many of them will be hard-pressed to come up with the additional funds. Many of the students polled by the campus newspaper felt that it was unfair that the non-resident fees were increased so much more than resident fees. Tuition hikes across the country range from six to 20 percent. Many reasons are cited for these actions, but the prevailing cause is that Contractual relief. many schools, combined with an unwillingness at the state and federal level to loosen the cash flow to higher education leave administrators trudging a familiar road looking for funds. The costs are, quite simply, being passed on to the students. at Hike to sustain fundamentals At the University of Chicago an eight percent increase has been recommended, which would be, in tuition costs, an additional $100 over this year’s fee of $3,527. The suggestions for that school’s budget also include a further reduction of faculty. Stanford University in California will increase tuition to $4,695 with basic room and board charges upped to $1,970. This represents an overall increase of nearly 10 percent. in Williams College its operating Massachusetts says costs will climb from $17.5 million this year to about $18.3 million next year. Students there will probably see a 7.7 percent hike which totals $5,955 for 1977-78. The added fees are expected to be used for faculty salaries and scholarships. Pennsylvanian students have been told that the governor’s budget will be an austere one and they face a $50-100 increase in the fall. Students were also warned that there will be less educational assistance money which is usually increased whenever tuition is increased. A director of the statewide student association said that the tuition increase “is no service increase” and that it is only an attempt to maintain the present situation. Officials fear that enrollments will drop, adding to the current anticipated lack of resources. while the state’s Educational Coordinating Board recommends Ohio student lobbyists a six percent increase. The student In Ohio, students may get an lobby is calling for the decrease to increase even though the governor bring the cost of higher education has included in his budget an in Oregon more in line with the state-supported national average. increase to colleges and universities.

In Andrew Lalonde’s response to my statement of directions and goals of SA Academic Affairs he neglected to include a few points. He does not state that he is running for Executive Vice President on the opposition party (this, of course, was an attempt by him to cover his \..*ND biases). In addition, he says that I address “issues of which 1 have no knowledge or failed to investigate.” I feel I have first-hand knowledge of what is going on in academics! I was in this University when the four-course load was attacked and I had to figure out how I could fit five courses into my schedule. I al#o wondered what SA was doing about this problem. To find out, I went to several Faculty-Senate meetings and saw Mr. Lalonde give a “big” two-minute speech during which he favored keeping the four-course load simply because “it’s good.” Thank God that faculty members, students, and The Spectrum showed a unified support to save the four-course load. Mr. Lalonde says that I failed to investigate the issues. Although this is entirely false, I did have trouble with the investigation itself. Hoping to see his files, I made three separate appointments with him, all of which he cancelled. However, obstacles were circumvented, albeit with difficulty (I’m used to dealing with “the Administration”), as I was able to see the SA President’s files. As a matter of fact, complimented me on my Spectrum The preparedness of their interview and on the large amount of research I had done. Mr. Lalonde also said that the issues he deals with are constantly in the news the four-course load, the Colleges, SCATE, TAP, etc. This is true, all those issues but I would not be proud of it were in the news because they were educational innovations that were being attacked. The four-course load almost became a five-course load. The Colleges are becoming fewer and fewer in number and will soon become The College. SCATE’s computerized sheets cannot be understood by half the students, while the other half hasn’t even seen it. TAP allotments have continuously gone down. I could go on and on but I think I’ve proven my point. I have tried not to use Mr. Lalonde’s ineptness in handling his job this past year to my advantage, since he is running on the oppoisition party; but since he made such accusations, I am forced to respond. I am running as a studeflt not involved in SA so that 1 may bring new enthusiasm into the organization.

The Spectrum Friday, . 4 March 1977 Ertc W. Beth Assistant Professor of Physics and Astronomy �KipMipa®! The genius of Emlyn Williams The soul of Charles Dickens recaptured. our own hearts re-spun by Bill Maraschiello Arts Editor I have the distinct premonition, my dear Copperfield, that something of an extraordinary nature is about to turn up Emlyn Williams has turned up at the Studio Arena Theatre, and not even the hyperbolic Mr. Micawber could have imagined a more extraordinary event. Williams is simply one of the greatest actors in the world, and I doubt that any finer performance than his solo portrayal 6f Charles Dickens will ever be seen on a Buffalo stage unless it is his evening as Dylan Thomas Growing up, which will grace the SAT state later this month. That said, I have some breathing space for particulars. Mr. Williams has been a vital' force in the arts since the thirties, when Night Must Fall, which he wrote and starred in, made him a leading figure in both British and American theatre. As a writer, his other works include the play The Corn Is Green, two autobiographies, George and Emlyn, and several other plays. *-> One man's family In 1950 he conceived a revolutionary theatrical an evening's solo performance as Charles concept Dickens, recreating the novelist's famous readings from his works. Emlyn Williams as Charles Dickens has been an international favorite ever since, as has been its successor, Dylan Thomas Growing Up. These were tje first "one-man shows, the first of the genre to later spawn Hal Holbrook's Mark Twain Tonight! and James Whitmore's Will Roger's U.S.A. and Give 'Em Hell. Harry!, to cite its most - with Forty years plus is a considerable period of activity in any trade, but a shock of white hair is its only evident mark on Williams. Like the greatest of actors and musicians, the stage is for him a place where time is held in* suspension, staved off by the combined power of an audience's collective imagination. To free that imagination English-speaking theatre is nothing less than a feat of magic, and Mr. Williams is a most formidable magician. The essentials The stage is bare but for a podium-like desk, an exact replica of Dicken's own, as is more than a little of this performance. Dickens was a frustrated actor, an inclination he was able to realize in his public readings, which contemporary accounts describe as spellbinding. William's re-creation is perfect. From his initial stroll to the desk forked beard ourthrust, red geranium glowing in his buttonhole he sets down the volumes he carried, removes the first one to be read, checks the spine to be certain he has the correct one, opens it to be place marked, and begins to read. — — Without speaking a word, he gives us the essence of fastidious, exact, dignified, never wasteful of Dickens the slightest motion, in print or elsewhere. He speaks softly, with perfect control and rich elegance. He shows us the pompous Podsnap of Our a rich gallery of characters Mutual Friend and Little Dorrit, the tipsy Mrs. Gamp from Martin Chuzziewit, the amazing "little person" Mr. Chops, a circus midget rising from rags to riches and back. And with all of them, Mr. Williams masterly presents his viewers - — all that is best distinguished offspring in the vast tradition of the Battle cries But there is more to Dickens and Williams. The story "The Black Veil" is eerily affecting; ekcerpts from The Battle of Life and A Tale of Two Cities shows us Dickens the reformer, speaking with a poet's outrage. And the climax is, fittingly, a bedtime story, leaving the listener pertrified but gleeful. To remain fresh in any role after over a quarter of a century speaks of a great love for the part, and I suspect that this is what keeps Dickens alive for Williams, and for us. To play with skill and charm is admirable, but Mr. Williams' Dickens shows the affection Boz himself felt for his David Copperfield: "Like every parent, I have in my heart of hearts a favorite child." Mr. Williams also cast a sobering sidelight: that is this age of media stupor and future shock, to merely ask of an audience that it listen to an actor is demanding indeed.

They drop their roles as studio musicians and take to the road of Top 40 Pop. If there's any artist who has succeeded at all with his phenomenon, George Benson is the first who comes to mind. His latest studio album, In Flight, has arrived along with two other guitarists' claims to fame. Henry Gross presents a follow-up to his reknowned Release with Show Me to the Stage. Elliott Randall, a super session musician from New York City has debuted with Elliott Randall's Nbw York. The three albums vary in terms of commercial success. If Elliott Randall is famous for anything, it is his wizard-like lead guitar for Steely Dan's "Reelin' In the Years." Probably anxious to step into the spotlight, he chose the way of commercial pop and comes out with poor results. I don't care what Randall's producer and promotion men think if you play guitar, it doesn't mean you can sing! Sing when it's necessary, damn it! — Here and there, on New York, Randall sticks in a nice display of his handiwork, but, unfortunately, side one filled up with songs that don't reflect this talent. Besides the cutesy lyrics ("So here I am on cloud nine/Take a look around and the weather's fine/Suddenly a song in the weather's vein/Plug in the juice and watch me rain ..."), all the songs are poorly written attempts at bankable singles. Surely Elliott has all his studio allies to help him out, but not to salvage this wreck. I don't think he's suited for the pop mold and should try something that fits him better. Fellow studio guitarist Lee Ritenour put out a good jazz-rock album last year that involved no singing whatsoever. It seems that Randall is being pushed around by people who want to force him into stardom (namely, Don Kirshner, the executive producer). Get out of that crowd, El', it's not your style. From the streets of New York City again, ex-Sha-Na-Na member but he sings like someone else! He made great Henry Gross can sing waves with his hit canine-love-song-single, "Shannon," doing a good impression of the Beach Boys. On the new album, Show Me to the Stage, the Beach Boys live again, but only to a point. Forty minutes of his whining impersonation gets downright annoying. I read somewhere that Gross likes to play southern boogie for which he was well known before success came. The ten tunes on this album show practically none of this affection at all. Only at the end of one song, "String of -Hearts," does Henry start to burn, but he gets doused-out in the fade-out. - Genesis, Wind and Wuthering (Atco) Pink Floyd, Animals (Columbia) Jethro Tull, Songs From the Wood (Chrysalis) It is an unfortunate, but almost universally accepted truth that any strong, creative rock band is destined to remain that way throughout only a small portion of its career. Excesses of praise, money and popular demand do strange things to rock musicians, often at the expense of their recordings and live performances. Among the most common syndromes are: 1) Band members go separate ways, some or all of them certain that their individual talents will stand alone as well as they had in situ; 2) Band remains together, becomes self-indulgent, and deliberately ignores audiences and what they want to remains together, becomes 3) hear; Band money-conscious and uninnovative, wearing out whatever formula had made them famous in the first place; and 4) Band members die of drug overdoses and motorcycle accidents. Concerning exceptions to these rules, England has had more luck in spawning long-standing rock the Rolling Stones, the Who acts than America has and the Kinks have survived since the early sixties, although each has succumbed, in one way or another, to at least one of the aforementioned pitfalls. However, any real hope for future artistic achievement must center around some of the bands born in the late sixties, not hampered by the "British Invasion" or later Blues-rock identities, and therefore more free to experiment. Genesis, Pink Floyd and Jethro Tull are three such late sixties-born outfits, albeit at differing levels of career development. The newly released albums by each of these mainstays of weirdness are professional, state-of-the-art exercises in "progressive rock," each in turn guaranteed to please their respective audience (or, as the case may be, their common audience.) Genesis, an English cult band formed in 1968, has successfully lived through the departure of lead singer/theatricist Peter Gabriel, going on to produce two quality albums which have indelibly marked them for steadily increasing popular acceptance. The extraordinarily latest, Wind and Wuthering, is an and musically competent as well-produced album, memorability of likeable, but lacking the specific epic Tail, its Trick of the on A most of the songs are very predecessor. While the members of Genesis good melodists and arrangers, their total songwriting eloquence is marred somewhat by whimsical or irrelevant lyrics, and occasional overdependence on mood rather than substance. — Prodigal Sun Even though the vocal prowess of drummer Phil Collins is beginning to surpass that of the inconsistent Gabriel, Wind and Wuthering'% strong points are its instrumental interludes, rather than his signing. "Eleventh Earl of Mar” opens side one and is alternating structurally 'typical, flawless Genesis and rhythmically complex electronic foot-stomp with quiet dreamland: acoustic guitars, fake strings, and those lyrics... — Gross is using these songs to show he is a Child of the 60's Sweet Pop. He does a weak re-make of the Beatles' "Help" because he doesn't sound like he should be singing the song. On side two, the Wilson I'm fighting Gravity falling My Daddy won't let them get me A voice screams seems to be calling The face turns features are burning. Brothers get the Supreme Rip-Off with "What a Sound," which even goes as far as copying production techniques Brian used (harp The disjointed "One for the Vine," although glissandos, cinder blocks echoing, word repetition, etc.). starting off weakly, showcases some interesting If anything on Show Me to the Stage entertains, it's the second theme development, which makes the song time Henry Gross uses sexual send-ups as cover photos. A wonderfully worthwhile, though not as exciting as "Eleventh hazy photograph this time, it hits me with the everlasting question, Earl."

Songs from the Wood marks a comback of sorts, for the last few Tull albums have been spotty attempts at both regaining an audience and getting back at harsh reviewers.

Tull's drastic personnel alternations, as well as The symbolism is obvious and rather trite in places: Anderson's constant sytlistic trail-and-error have finally paid off with an album which is fresh, lively and unpretentious, a complete expression of the Old The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want English Folk/Classical-rock blend which Anderson He makes me down to He has used occasionally in the past.

"Pigs (Three Different Ones'" makes the most convincing "message" present on the album, aided by Gilmour's forceful vocal delivery (Haha), and a cliff-hanger keyboard-guitar adventure played out between the second and third verses. "Sheep" also shines musically (and "spacily"), a throwback to the days of Meddle, with a well-developed mood-building very similar to that of the song "Echoes."

I mumbled something to the effect of "that's supposed to be a barrier," and the man who has been labeled as 'intellectual with too much composition in his improvisation' (whatever that means!) broke into the widest grin I have e' and I've seen some big grins in my day, but few as real. Breaking barriers. "This has to be an auspicious I thought, moment," and sometimes we think more than we think, we which is know knowing to more than preferable you think you know? Anyway, the thought was more correct than I knew, as Anthony (alto soprano sax, sax, clarinets including bass and contrabass, flutes, and the mammoth mother, the contrabass saxophone) put it out there. Dave came a little later. ... the live ammo of lightning-quick fingers and a deep delicacy few can match.

YEEEEAAAH! as Anthony yodels fiercely on alto and within the apparent wildness of the field hollering (l/Ve are the for ground broken implementation.) is its core; the flutelike sweetness of discovery. Dave, jumping with more than fingers now, senses, and flamingos are summoned for opinion in this birdsong. of conference fluently and Expression fluctuates the people are immersed in more than ritual. Throughout the evening the pair shared their artistry and their tasty interplay, ranging from chamber music to suspenseful satire, each note beckoning expansion between the planes. There's the beautiful, beautiful rendition of "Impressions" exposing Dolphy-like elasticity bouncing, the precision and strong direction only a Braxton, a Coltrane or such can take: Growth met to fill the potential of a given designation. Anthony with sopranino and clarinet stomping, prancing, bobbing up and down/Pan is one vision yet I couldn't help thinking that Monk would love to see this/yet another branch of a vast tree flitting and fluting swaying as the wind. Forms like "Q & A," "Tune 2 Side 2" from Five Pieces 1975, and more, form the air as bass plays horn, contrabass clarinet is hot meditation, and contrabass sax strides freely so hot at times you can hear multidimensional convergence, voice screaming on horn voice depths plunging onward. Damn! At one point Anthony picked up an instrument, with its stand still attached. The gawkers there out their already space to spaced-out minds thought it a part of the show, and were really put out when the stand dropped and Anthony looked at it, shrugged, and smiled to the audience. Those awake (and there were many) really got down to that! Theories One of the most beautiful contributions given here is an RECORDS Anthony Braxton, Duets 1976 with Muhal Richard Abrams (Arista) "Miss Ann" represents brilliant romping. Humor used properly is a vehicle for the most serious spontaniety of all. The seriousness of creation presents us with the beauty of questions that each person living should have asked himself long ago. Like "why can't we grow in tune to friendship? (or at least deep understanding)." Eric smiles. The mystique of the magic forest forms "Tune 2 Side 1." Trees bear us deep and scampering whispers, and nymphs skip in step to ultimate destination, defined in earthly dream. "Tune 3 Side 1" is a portrait for Self. A very hip giant walks through crowds stumping their own growth. People running scared in the street collide with themselves, trying to avoid the trail. "Don't you know trails will be made? 'Cause beanstalks are slick, with no steps. Maybe we'll learn." The giant sighs and departs, leaving deep roots behind to shake the ground. Thieves are stung and, wincing, behold the way we were as Scott Joplins's "Maple Leaf Rag" returns to the roots for growth, rather than displacement. Dance is methodical and spirited, instead of method Seeking spirit. "Tune 2 Side 2" is a mystery show in double. Song is the shadows of morning forming protection. From the facetious music of alley cats. The panther seeks an answer to broken yowls and slinky prattle.

Prodigal Sun �RECORDS IcCoy Tyner, Focal Point (Milestone) This is an album of earth celebration, of which "Mode For iulcimer" is the Center. McCoy is the ceremony and participant. There re no bystanders, and no desire to be one here. Join us. Mr. Bridgewater's soprano has a tranquil tone, yet the message □ntains the energy of urgency. Saying more than 'please.' 'You are for whom the bell tolls.' Saud is the bell, on sitar-like dulcimer as well as piano, singing like a swan on water as the tablas of Guilherme Franco «hed rain. Gary Bartz alto is whispering loudly. Listen. The elements are dancing to the cycle of life. The shifting patterns iof nature are calling, and are called. "Mes Trois Amis," opening the album, features Charles Famborough on bass, calling the future for WtcCoy's three songs, for whom the tune is dedicated. Future beckons powerfully thru Joe Ford on alto. Joe is one with the long denied birthright, screaming sweetly to break the deceptive fog that lingers on home when the leasers of the land do not understand. Understand. Joe is the Fire. Co mplimenting this is piano and percussion (joined here by Mf. Gravatt) hinting of the thunder and rain preluding the sun. "Parody" is the storm laughing, revealing how serious humor actually is. Is parody a whimsical version of a whimsical world? If so, which is the parody? Constructive humor is a serious realm, especially when laughter comes cheaply, and too often with the cheap things, not at. With this, we move to the quiet revelation of "Indo-Serenade." Quiet, remember, is not silent, and this serenade does not lull. Joe returns (on flute), a bird flying on the winds of samba, enjoying the dips and spirals of journey. Ron meditates for movement as the scent of magic woodlands embrace the arrangements here and throughout. Mr. Bartz's closing clarinet-weaving-around-flute illustrates this. Having covered the center, we prepare for "Departure," which is naturally a return of sorts, since your roots are a part of your forever. The tune rides on power, the Orchestra giving us realms once thought of as science fiction, if we simply permit reception. Space is occupied, and we have always been out there. Within. (There is a mistake on the album's solo credits here, but you find out where. This is your experience, too.) "Departure" is the spirit advancing. "Theme For Nana" is the rest that sleeps for awakening. This tribute to Saud's mother-in-law is the magicks of midnight brewing softly in effervesence. Bubbles that shatter and build. Joe is the dove, cooing in the twilight of the world to Herald the stars for union. Sound is Light and Light is the force of a piano playing seriously.

Prodigal Sun Friday, 4 March 1977 The Spectrum Page seventeen . . �Corky Laing, Makin' It On The Street (Elektra) When I put an album on my turntable by someone I have never heard before, I usually expect the worst. However, I must say that Corky Laing’s Makin’It On The Street pleasantly surprised me. - If I had had any predispositions about this album, they may have been to expect hard electric rock, based on the fact that Lainge is a former member of both Mountain and the West, Bruce, and Laing bands. Or I may have expected soft, folksy music, based on the fact that Laing is pictured The jazzy feeling on this album is attributable to the "Muscle Shoals Horn Section," a quite talented five-man group, plus two soloists, Randall Bramlett and Frank Vicari, who add a bluesy feeling with their saxophone work. Eric Clapton appears on this album, although we are (curiously) never told where, and Joe English, the drummer for Paul McCartney and Wings, lends a hand on the final song, "Heaven." All the musicians are competent and professional, arrangements are slick, and this album leaves nothing to be desired. However, most LP's have flaws, and Makin' it On The Street is no exception. In fact, this album has two major flaws. First of all, there is a problem with Laing's vocals. He simply does not sing that well, although at times he sounds a little bit like Bruce Springsteen. Laing does not slur his words like Springsteen does, but his voice is rough and detracts from the instrumentation behind it. The vocal shortcomings were particularly disturbing on my initial listening of this album, but overall it seems to get better somehow on subsequent listenings. The other major problem is his lyrics, which are generally rather poor. It's too bad he chose to publish a lyric sheet with the LP, because a listener generally tends to read along at first and pay especially close attention to the words, something which should be avoided at all costs. I couldn't help but grimace at Laing's "social commentary" in the song "Don't You Worry:" holding an acoustic guitar on the front cover illustration. Don't you worry About the crime in the street, ozone in the air, But I never expected the jazzy rock n' roll Or crooked politicians, or the subway fare. which I found. Makin' It On The Street has elements Don't you worry about the T.

Corky Laing is one of three guitarists on this album, but his strongest musical talents lie in the use At least he's an optimist. His lyrics are of percussion instruments. Laing is credited as admittedly not nearly as bad as the virtual playing the Slingerland drums, roto toms, electric mindlessness which is passing as "poetry" today. bongos, steel drums and percussion. Luckily, he does But I should not dwell on the flaws, because the not fall into the trap of playing lengthy drum solos, good points of this album far outnumber the bad. as some of his colleagues have been known to do, With its fine instrumentation, Makin' It On The but instead his drums complement his music, instead Street should be a successful album for Corky Laing. of overpowering it. —Bob McCrone Queen, A Day at the Races (Elektra) "humorous."

I experienced this sensation at a stadium concert this past summer. It was then I realized the delight of living a rock n roll existence. John Miles had just completed his opening act for Elton John and the crowd's response was quite encouraging. A blond girl, sweating through her Elton t-shirt, vocally inclined her pleasure towards Miles' act with a barely audible, hoarse wimper of praise. everyone was She had succumbed to the bopper symptoms dressing to room triumphantly walked his to the fever. Miles exposed he viewed the Perhaps his face. incredulity look of on with a dizzy ephemeral; collective was not passion incidental. The audience response - it seemed to me to linger. Miles’ first album. Rebel (produced by Alan Parsons) was not the success London records had hoped it would be, although the disc made more than modest inroads into the rock world. If this LP had a problem, it might have been that it was too well produced by Parsons. As Rupert Holmes produces Miles' latest release. Stranger In The City, the venture is to meet with Miles as a musical and intellectual equal. Miles glows because he is John Miles rather than a schizophrenic parody of Alan Parsons. This observation is no subjective put down it is fact. Rebel was not a bad album; it's just that Stranger In The City is so much better. Miles' new album centers on a concept dealing with the piqued expectations the singer discovers as he muddles through his first U.S. tour. As he aspires to imagination come true, he perceives little more than tawdry reality. The case and point is the novelistic culture of New York City which is always surreal, especially to the foreigner. Loneliness becomes a masochism born out by necessity, purviewing life as no more than a chore. It is balanced with claustrophobia and the satire of dreams. The album's title track. Stranger In The City, conveys such a lonely feeling, soberly endorsed by a quick orchestral musical pace. The tone is strengthened by a drum and bass riff brought violently to the foreground. All this action gives credence to the insane drama of loneliness. The sensation continues with the disco song, "Slow Down," where Miles vocalizes to all and to no one: — "Time is on your side. Slow Down. " The tune's plot is cynical. As Miles pleads, "Slow Down" in rock 'n roll fashion, the disco beat quickens while the dance of reality pirouettes, then stagnates, observing its ballet shoes worn through to — the foot. The keyboards of Gary Moberly herald the theme of the Paul McCartney Billy Joelish ballad, "Time." Although time becomes one of Miles' concessions, he may still reign victorious in the city-strife life battle. The ammunition is pure common sense: — Time shows, love goes Only the fears as you go through the years Till the last sand of time blows away The last sand of time blows away. John Miles becomes personal about his objections to the city by relating to the distinct entity of individualism rather than adding to his fears by grappling with generalities. Through the "Manhattan Skyline" where "There's all you want in cheap delights," the focus is upon a "Glamour Boy" who is "living in a world of make believe." False actions are chastised. In these personal sketches. Miles' guitar shines with rock clarity, the vocals accompanying feeling and emulating the power. In the end, Miles' piano sums up the circus life with honky-tonk rhythm, blaming it all on that Broadway high-hire-wire night crawler, the agent. The song is "Music Man" and Miles projects his feelings thusly: Then there's Mr. Ten-percent Takes your.money just to pay his rent You put your feet across the door Step in gold dust on the floor The nice man shows you where to sign You lose your life on the dotted line. Miles confronts city living in a way which is not trite, but wholly communicable. Stranger In The City is a fine and complete short story. —Harold Goldberg INDIA STUDENTS ASSOCIATION ELECTIONS '77 5:00 pm Friday March 11th Room 330, Norton Union - 'Nominations will be received till Monday, March 7th.

Their ten-gallon hats and mile-wide grins reflected appreciation of the considerable applause. With a debut album just off the press, this southern rock band whose music is similar to Marshall Tucker, was a good choice for the first act. However, after listening to their 45-minute set, I wished Marshall Tucker came on at 8. The Winter Brothers Band is a five-piece boogie band, with the conventional two guitar setup, consisting of Donnie and Dennis Winters. They enter the all too cluttered category of "southern rock," joining the likes of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Elvin Bishop, Grinder Switch, Marshall Tucker, and the recently defunct Allman Brothers. Their music has no character or stype of its own, and all their songs, with the exception of their opening song, "Smokey Mountain Log Cabin Jones," sound like cheap imitations of their sister bands. The audience cheered them on for an encore, and then quietly waited for the Tuckers. The Winters Brothers Band did, indeed, the Tucker boys defined it. warm up the crowd to dixie rock — -Doug Alpern 'You left me at the worst time and now I can't face life so I'm committing suicide" bullshit for them. Their vociferous machismo had a very basic appeal: We're here to have us all a real good time.

Tucker, playing against an elaborately painted backdrop, had cut their hair, and did not even yell once. But they still seem to be the best example of their genre.

"In My Own Way" ended up in a jam sounding very much like The Allman Brothers "You Don't Love Me." And, of course, the last two songs were "24 Hours At A Time" and "Ramblin," the latter of which is the best example of what an amazing voice Doug Gray really has.

Friday, 4 March 1977 Prodigal Sun �I (CAS 7oe> w iy-m Is: r\ X WAS rwiasf Qpu Against GSELTs plan n H0U)pIP kr To the Editor. 1 am writing to protest as strongly as I cap tj ueooe CbB me josnce PBPl f against the decision of the GSEU to strike from March 14th to March 19th. I have several reasons for doing so. One, the Ketter administration or, for that matter any administration of any of the SUNY campuses, lacks the legal powers to recognize the GSEU as a union and bargain with it in good faith. Since the GA’s and TA’s are paid by public funds they have to be given union status by the Public Employees Relations Board. It has nothing to do with the administration in this University. Two, the Administration on this campus neither has idle funds lying around nor has the means and ability to raise funds to meet the demands of the GSEU for higher stipends. Assistanship lines are tied to faculty lines which are determined by the state legislature. Three, the GSEU has not been, in my opinion, candid about the full implications of a unionized GSEU. Some of the detrimental effects would be: a) loss of privileges that go with TA’s and GA’s, eg., tuition waivers. (Doesn’t the union on each of the unionized campuses in Michigan and Wisconsin ask of their members to pay their own tuition?); b) that compensation or stipend received by GA’s and TA’s would be considered taxable income by the Inland Revenue Service and therefore, not eligible for tax exemption as under the present set up; c) that unionization would entail payment of union dues coming from the pockets of all GA’s and TA’s. Collectively, these three would cause net loss of income to TA’s and GA’s. Four, one of the demands of the GSEU stipulates lifting of 4-yr. restriction on the duration of any GA or TA. This is not only selfish but also an implicit demonstration of academic incompetence or laziness and “social robbery.” By holding on a GA or TA line for more than four years one deprives other new students from benefiting from an assistantship. If all those who get on the bus never get off, students of* the future (the present undergraduates) might as well give up hopes of ever attending graduate school. Any student who requires more than four years to complete a PhD program is either academically incompetent or just plain lazy, intending only to live off taxpayers’ money. I cannot for the life of me understand why a student who is so totally dissatisfied with the money he gets as a TA or GA would want to continue living under those same conditions he so despises when by completing his degree he would be earning anything from four to five times his present income. I suppose it is easier to live off taxpayers’ sweat rather than one’s own. Five, I have yet to see one research which shows that the higher the income of the teacher, the greater the benefits to the students. How is it that literally thousands of students on this campus are disappointed with their professors who earn anything from 22-35,000 dollars in salary? All of a sudden the GSEU will change all that by carrying a heavier wallet! Six, the GSEU in order to elicit support from the undergraduates states, “One of our non-negotiable demands to the administration will be academic amnesty for you.” Perhaps this can be best explained by an analogy. First you injure a patient and then tell the patient that you will seek guarantees from the doctor not to hurt the patient any more! Seven, it is quite presumptuous of the GSEU that it is the only group on the campus which is interested in bettering the lot of the GA’s and TA’s. The reputation and strength of a university depends on the quality of its faculty and students. One without the other like a pair of shoes with one shoe missing. One way of guaranteeing a qualitative supply of students is to make conditions,attractive enough for them to come to the University. What can the administration gain by worsening the conditions for GA’s and TA’s? The administration is just as concerned, if not more, about the improvement of conditions for its students. Has the GSEU taken pains to find out that the four presidents of the four university centres have every year sought more funds for the GA’s and TA’s? To conclude, I too am concerned about my colleagues but going on a strike is not the right means simply because it will achieve nothing but only do harm to the undergraduates whose learning environment the GSEU wants to improve. Second, it is a futile attempt to milk a bull (the administration on this campus) when the cow is in Albany (the state PIP WU SETT WROXS 10 HUP? cines.

As the strike referendum called by the Graduate Student Employees Union approaches, questions are being raised by foreign graduate students who are also state funded TAs and GAs. I am a foreign student currently employed as a teaching assistant. I thought 1 should do some research with respect to my situation. One of the people I contacted was Joe Balter, a legal researcher who has been looking into questions regarding foreign student employees. I feel the information he gave me is pertinent to the many other foreign student employees here at U.B. In the case of a strike, the federal regulations (8CFR214.2(f)(6)) say that “permission [to work] is automatically suspended while a strike or other labor dispute involving a work stoppage or layoff of employees is in progress in the occupation and at the place where the student is employed.” That means two things to me: first, in the event of a strike by TAs and GAs, I am not supposed to work, the law forbids it; and second, if I wish, I can work for the GSEU. The GSEU has already announced its intention to include foreign students in its non-negotiable amnesty demand. And while the University couldn’t withdraw its financial support from a foreign TA when the amnesty clause is won, it could attempt to get the immigration and naturalization service to take action against a foreign student for activities done during the strike. I will be careful and work for the Union in non-public ways. Since I will not be able to perform my usual tasks for the University, I believe I ought to help the GSEU win for all graduate students the contract items which will improve our lot: a raise in pay, guaranteed tuition waivers (the money for this year’s tuition waivers came out of funds originally designated for foreign students), affirmative action, lowered class and lab sizes, job security, etc. I work here and 1 want to help improve the conditions of those with whom I work, including the hundreds of foreign students now working throughout the University. If you wish particular information about what the law requires of foreign students during a labor dispute or about immigration and foreign students in general, contact Joe Balter at 636-2161. Maureen Wall-Cartmell Friday, 4 March 1977 The Spectrum Page twenty-one . . �Destroying Palestinian identity To the Editor: UUAB FINE ARTS FILM COMMITTEE presents In response to the letter of Howard Hausman entitled “The PLO Alternative” which was published in The Spectrum on Wednesday,‘February 16, 1977. Your letter gave me the feeling that you need to know more about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict before you can issue a declaration similar to that of Balfore. You like to see yourself acting as a president or great emperor giving orders “The Palestinians have their country in Jordan” without any consideration for the humanistic dimensions of the Palestinian problem. There is no wonder why you admire the great colonial Britain. You follow its imperialist, racist and unjust line. I would like to advise you to read more about the history of Palestine and the history of Jordan, before you destroy the Palestinian identity. I would like to convey to you that you are racist if you believe that “Israel shall remain an independent Jewish state.” What would you do to the one million Palestinians who already live in Palestine? Would you throw them out just because you would like to see “an independent Jewish State?” How ridiculous to see you glorifying democracy in Israel! You might have a different concept for democracy similar to those colonial powers which in the name of democracy, destroy nations and enslave peoples. To correct your ignorance about democracy in Israel, I present to you and to the readers the following facts: 1. The American Heritage Dictionary of the English language defines the word democracy as follows: (a) “government by the people, exercised either directly or through elected representatives; (b) a democratic state pertains or promotes the interests of the people and believes in social equality.” To apply the meanings of democracy to what is there in Israel, the reader will find a distorted version of democracy. The following reasons illustrate the . families of the demonstrators confirm the absence of democracy. Finally, do you consider the destruction of the Palestinian National home as a sign of democracy? Do you take the dispersion of the Palestinians and the denial of their rights to live in their homeland and establish an independent Palestinian state as manifestations of democracy? I really wonder why the Zionist people have more right to establish a Zionist state in Palestine and deprive the indiginous inhabitants of Palestine from the same right? Bader Dweik Invitation To the Editor In the year 571 A.D., on the twenty sixth of February, the sacred water of Lake Sawa, suddenly evaporated. The sacred fires of the Persians, having given light for more than a thousand years, were extinguished. An earthquake shook the land, destroying the great palace of Cosroes, the greatest emperor of his time. Cosroes, the greatest emperor trembled in his palace where four of its towers were destroyed. These were the signs of the birth of the prophet Mohammed, God’s messenger. Humanity has received its message. Mohammed was not sent for a special nation, but for all of humanity. On the occasion of the comemoration of Mohammed’s birth, an invitation is extended to those, who have been looking for the truth with one eye closed, to become less partial and to listen to the sound of the two bells. Abdelkader DJEFFAL IE 1.1 . Friday MIDNITE FRIDAY & SAT .. point: (1) There is a tremendous gap between the oriental Jews and the western Jews in Israel. The former live in the slums of Tel-Aviv and the ghettos of Jerusalem. They are border guards and working hands in municipality cleaning divisions. The latter live in villas in the French Hill (Jerusalem) or Mount Carmel in Haifa. They have all the senior positions in the state of Israel. If there is democracy “social equality,” why the “Blank Panthers” fight in Israel? (2) The Palestinian People who Uve in the west bank and whose population is close to 900,000 are still deprived of the right to choose their own government. The Israeli occupation has been imposed on them since 1967. (3) The Palestinian intellectuals have been exposed to deportation, arrest, imprisonment and torture simply because they say “no” to occupation. (4) The Palestinian culture, history and heritage are exposed to many futile attempts to destroy them. Such attempts are manifested by the attitude to ISRAELIZE or JORDANIZE the Palestinian identity.

The Board expresses its deepest concern about the following consequences of the Executive manner consistent with statutory limitations.” We welcome the Governor’s'support of managerial flexibility and plan to use it well. Budget: For the University, flexibility means the ability to transfer money and personnel lines from one activity to another within available support levels. To serve the public well, it is critical that each campus administration be allowed to respond creatively to changing conditions.

'The failure to provide for a modest but essential increase in graduate student stipends means that the University must function without competitive stipends for young scholars and scientists; 'Inadequate support for library acquisitions is eroding our collections to the point where we are concerned whether our libraries will continue to be adequate to sustain learning and research. The Trustees have three additional specific areas of concern. We believe that more administrative flexibility would permit us to do our job within available resources much more efficiently. The issue of financing Community Colleges requires a new approach. And, we believe that the Tuition Assistance Program proposal contradicts both social policy and social — — The Executive Budget for 1977-78 takes the University to the edge of what is manageable. Although an increase in State tax dollars is provided, the total support available to the University is essentially the same as the current very tight year, with no provision for inflation. The decrease in support of the University cannot continue if its quality and institutions are to remain intact. The Executive Budget of 1977-78, coupled with this year’s austerity budget, means that the State University of New York is diminished in the students it can serve, in the services it can provide to the public, and in the new knowledge it can create. The University can no longer afford to admit the students who seek to enroll. As a result, some who are denied admittance will be denied ITS A BRAND NEW Wheel AT CASSIDY’S THURSDAY, 3111/77 Check It Out!! — justice. Flexibility We are pleased to note that the Executive Budget offers the University “as much flexibility as possible to determine its priorities within the funds available and in a We therefore appreciately the fairness and wisdom in the recent decision to return a significant portion of funds to the campuses which result from the University’s successful energy conservation programs. This is an illustration of creating an incentive for continued efficiency, and of the University’s capacity to serve itself and the State’s fiscal requirements at the same time. And we could do more, except for the vacancy freeze. This freeze is increasingly damaging. acknowledge the early stages of the freeze, the essentially random effect of losses was manageable; but as the freeze continues, and vacancies accumulate, our ability to direct our own activities erodes. To continue to meet In budgetary goals by retaining vacant positions, rather than by prevents planning, us from providing the educational opportunities our funds allow. The University would be much better able to serve the public if the freeze was lifted while our expenditures continue to be controlled. We are not seeking additional funds; we are requesting relief from a regulation * Community Colleges The Executive Budget proposes changes significant in the financing of Community Colleges for 1977-78. We are pleased that this Budget proposes to retain the open-door admissions policy to Community Colleges, does not require program reduction, and does not require additional college support from local tax sources in spite of a State aid reduction for 1977-78. The Executive Budget proposes that this reduction in State aid be made up from funds available in the reserves for excess student revenues and from fund balances where sufficient funds are held in these accounts. colleges For some the application of reserves may be accompanied by reductions in local support because some sponsors had made plans to utilize some of the surplus in lieu of sponsor support. We strongly yrge this not be the case, and that the reduction in State aid, if one-time necessary, be a occurrence in order to protect the open enrollment concept and avoid program retrenchment. We must also note that in some cases the use of the accrued reserves in lieu of a portion of State aid is viewed as a negative incentive by those who have their carefully limited expenditures. The fact is that where no reserves have accrued there will be no loss in State aid funding. We are pleased that the Executive Budget has been amended tj reduce the loss of State aid and to make allowance for the college use of reserves which had been previously scheduled for use in the 1976-77 operating budgets. The Executive Budget further recommends that a full-scale review of the Community College Tuition Assistance Program Although TAP is not part of the University’s budget, we must conclude that the current proposals for change will increase out-of-pocket expenditures for the neediest students. This would be a socially regressive action which we unanimously oppose. Of the recommended changes in the Program, the proposal to reduce TAP payments by $100 for each of the first two years for public college students is doubly discriminatory; it not only discriminates against the public college students but also and much more importantly against the most economically disadvantaged among them. If approved, the net effect will be an increased expense of $100 for all with next taxable incomes below - — $10,000. The University Trustees are deeply committed to providing a foundation of excellence for the future. It is wholly inadequate to devote ourselves to periodic budget-cutting without a dear sense that New York State, and indeed the world, depends upon high quality education as well as advanced scholarship and science. We understand the current financial condition of the State, and we pledge ourselves to work with the Governor and the to bring stability to Legislature New York State. However, we firmly believe that maintaining a strong and vital State University is an indispensable part of the solution. A distinguished Stata University is ope way the State ensures continuingly adequate tax revenues. It is the best way to give young people the opportunity to seek an education which moves them from the welfare rolls to tax rolls. It is also the best way to ensure the personal.satisfactions, productivity and responsibility of future New Yorkers.

The basketball Bulls eked out a 78-76 win over crosstown rival Buffalo State Tuesday night, before 1400 Screaming fans at Clark Hall. It was only Buffalo’s fifth win of the year, against 21 losses, but when it was over, all of the Bulls were wearing big smiles. “It feels really good,” said Buffalo coach Leo Richardson. As is his custom, Richardson always starts the team’s seniors in the last ’ game of the year. Therefore, Buffalo’s starting lineup had three forwards seniors Mike Jones, Eric Spence and one and Sam Robinson senior George Cooper. guard Vernell (Another senior, Washington was injured.) The Bulls ran into some problems defensively, because Robinson was playing the other guard spot in Buffalo’s 1*2-2 zone defense. “He wasn’t used to that spot,” Richardson said. “He wasn’t rotating properly.” State took advantage of that and jumped out to an 8-0 lead. Richardson then took out Robinson and put in guard Ed Johnson. Buffalo came back, and when Cooper made a steal and turned it into a three-point play, Buffalo had countered the — — — Bengals’ momentum. Cooper bad been psyched for his final game and felt he was more better and team-oriented as a result. “I wante'd to throw it down (i.e. stuff the ball) but 1 had lay it up and try to get three,” Cooper said. Buffalo was able to tie the playing ) game several times in the first half, but the Bengals hot outside shooting of Buffalo State’s Oleh Czmola and Bucky Strong kept the Bengals just out in front. State led at halftime 34-33. The Bulls came out flying in the second half, and when Cooper, leading a fast break, made a beautiful spinning move, drove down the lane, and hit on a short jumper, with 18:20 left in the half, Buffalo had its first lead of the night. The Bulls did not let up, and with Robinson,, Bulls’ center Sam Pellom, Johnson and Spence complimenting Cooper’s efforts, Buffalo outscored State 21-5. “Everybody pulled together,” Cooper said. “It was one team effort.” Richardson echoed the same feeling about the team’s scoring spree. “We looked like a team we rebounded, passed the ball, ran,” said the Bulls coach. Buffalo’s largest lead of the night was a fifteen point spread, but then Strong, after having missed a few twenty footers, hit a long one to ignite a Bengals rally. State scored eight points in a row, chipping Buffalo’s lead down to seven. “When we were up by fifteen, we kind of let up a little,” said Johnson. Cooper added that he felt a little tired, but when the Bengals started coming back, he found a second wind. Richardson also noticed that the team relaxed a little, and called a timeout to start them going again. “I asked Eric and Mike, ‘Are you tired? You sure look like it’,” Richardson said. Even with that admonition, the Bulls were not able to stop the Bengals’ comeback. Strong was — Buffalo State’s catalyst, as he hit six outside shots, in the last six mintues. “We had a hand in his face,, but he was just hot,” Cooper said. “When someone’.; that hot, there’s nothing you could do.” “1 was worried about him,” Richardson said. “He was really hurting us towards the end. Everything he shot went in.” Strong shot 12-of-22 finishing with a game high of 24 points. Pressure tactics In addition to Strong, there was the Bengals full-court press to contend with. “I told them before the game, if anything is going to hurt us, it’ll be the press,” Richardson said. Buffalo State got several key steals down the stretch. “We were trying to get it it get (in bounds] and downcourt,” said Johnson of the Bulls strategy to break the press. But Richardson felt that Buffalo’s guards were not in position, and Buffalo’s front line wasn’t coming to meet the ball properly. But as the clock ticked down towards the one minute mark, Buffalo found a way to break the press. Cooper threw a touchdown pass to Robinson, who raced ahead of everyone for a layup, giving Buffalo a six point lead. State center Greg Miller scored on a drive, to move them within four. But then Lloyd Devaux, who was inbounding the ball against the Bengals press, hit Pellom with a length-of-the-court pass, and Pellom hit two freethrows (after being fouled while attempting a layup). Hectic finish Strong came back in a hurry apd scored from 27 feet out. —John Buffalo State’s press stole the ball, but just seconds later, Johnson stole the ball from them, and was fouled. He missed the frcethrow, but Robinson was not boxed out, and easily tipped the rebound in. Buffalo led by six, with 25 seconds to go. Gary Babcock hit a short jumper with ten seconds left, and the Bengals press stole the ball one last time. Jerome Glover hit another jumper, but there was only two seconds left, and Buffalo never even inbounded the ball. The hectic final few minutes almost cost the Bulls the game. “We should have had a little more poise,’’ Richardson remarked. “State had to run because they were behind. We should have known better and slowed it down.” But Buffalo still prevailed, and their win gave them second place in the Big Four (and had it not been for a few missed freethrows against Niagara, Buffalo could have had first place). The season is over (unless they make the playoffs, as the joke goes), and for the first time in a long time, Buffalo’s seniors ended their career on a winning note. ) SUNDAY HITE!!!

Page twenty-five �Sportspaige 1 never saw a standing ovation for by Paige Miller Sports Editor So the basketball season is over. I thought I would be a bit melancholy when it was over, but when the buzzer sounded Tuesday night and Buffalo had beaten Buffalo State, I wasn’t anywhere near melancholy. I was on cloud nine. I had covered the basketball I team here for four years moved up to the varsity after a strong freshman season covering the junior varsity, and while I can’t actually say that I loved every minute of it, I did enjoy the vast majority of them. - a basketball player there. Several players got nice hands Tuesday night, but it’s not the same. I was privileged to see all five of the team’s wins this year. I say privileged because they were my team 1 mean that like a fan who believes in a team no matter how badly they’re doing. I sometimes wish I hadn’t been the official scorer or statistician at most of those games because many times I just wanted to sit back and shout — my lungs out. And I also felt like part of the team at times. (I’m so vain; but then, I used to think that song was about me.) The team trusted my statistics, and made jokes about me just like I was one of horrible season this I had to Jook them. forward to was beating Buffalo Buffalo State. I had never seen Memories beat the Bengals. Three years ago, So my four years of covering two the teams fought through are a lot overtime periods before State basketball are over.

The players were no more pleased than their coach. “We just The usual silence there is so walking back to Buffalo. squeezed it out,” commented co-captain Clyde O’Malley. depressing. Fortunately for me, the Rochester The Bulls were especially hurt by the Kats’ fast break, which was player missed the shot. I do have one regret, however, fed by steals and Buffalo turnovers. The leading practitioner for Erie was guard Jane Kish, who made five layups following fast breaks. Kish was the high scorer for the Kats with twenty points. The Bulls jumped to an early lead, but the Kats came right back and took the lead on two fast breaks by Kish. That pattern continued throughout the first half as the two teams constantly gained and then lost the lead. After Erie battled to a seven point lead, sophomore Regina Frazier and freshman Marilyn Brown got hot and cut the lead to one. The Bulls then went ahead on senior Marilyn Dellwardt’s jump shot. After a year, about all Women s basketball ‘just squeeze it out — ~ This year, center Sam Pellom missed about five stuff shots in a row at one point, and after the loss to LeMoyne, 1 suggested that he stop trying to stuff the ball. me and Pellom looked at suggested 1 might not be alive tomorrow. I certainly didn’t believe it I first heard that Pellom was leading the nation in rebounding last year. when Take that, Canisius One of the happiest moments came when Buffalo beat Canisius this year. They trailed by ten with three minutes left, but came back and Pellom tipped a shot in with five seconds left to win the game for Buffalo. Although I was the official scorer, I was screaming at the top of my lungs then. Syracuse, two years Battle continues Buffalo managed to build up a three point edge before the Kats again took it over on center Vicki Sendelbeck’s long jumpers. Brown and vllwardt scored in the clsoing minute to give the Bulls a one point edgf at the half. Buffalo took a more commanding lead early in the second half, led by O’Malley and freshman Anna Eng. Although the Bulls continued to suffer from the Kats fast break, they never relinquished the lead. The Bulls scoring attack in the second half was very well balanced the second with O’Malley, Brown and forward Paula Hills all making in a big contribution. At about the half way point in the half, the win looked like it was in danger when Erie drew to within one of Buffalo. The Bulls were leading by six when Kish hit a jumpshot, and forward Lita Murawski made a layup. Hills came back with a jumper for the Bulls, but then Murawski hit two more jump shots, including one following a steal by Kish, and the Bulls led by only one. ! Buffalo improves Buffalo tightened their defense while their offense got a little flashier. First, freshman Gabi Fray hit a turnaround jumpshot to increase the lead to three. O’Malley stole the ball but the Kats got it back and took it in for a layup all alone. Following another unsuccessful Erie drive,. Hills caught a pass from Brown, and made a quick jump shot near the free throw line. Missy Heim and Murawski made an attempt to get the lead back for Erie, but their efforts were only in vain. Dellwardt poured in a free throw following a technical on Heim to ice the win. Cousins continued her experiments with the starting lineups by starting reserves Dellwardt and Eng. “I’m trying to let them play as a group,” explained Cousins. “Right now, we have two or three players that work well together. I’m trying to get five that work well together.” Cousins also thought that the team was a bit tired after the Big Four Tournament, and that perhaps that was the reason for their poor play. She said that the team didn’t play well, but that it “was good enough.” Page twenty-six The Spectrum . . Friday, 4 March 1977 Sponsored by israel Information Center & ago. Buffalo had a thirteen point lead against the NCAA quarterfinalists. I didn’t believe it, and I wonder if Richardson did either. Once, I made the mistake of calling Richardson by his first name. The immediate reply was “Don’t call me Leo!” The whole team thought it was funny. Kenny Pope, now assistant doesn’t coach, probably remember this one, but his senior year (my freshman year) I went with the team to Rochester. Richardson requires that everyone wear a tie on road trips, but I didn’t know how to tie mine. So 1 asked Kenny. And he tied it for me. But that’s enough. I could go on forever if I wanted to. Right now, I am pretty melancholy. Oh well, that’s life. American Zionist Youth Foundation �CLASSIFIED AD INFORMATION after 6 p.m. AUU ADS MUST be paid in advance.

Gerber threatened to end the debate at one point, when Gilbert Lawrence invited Steve Ferst up to the rostrum to join the proceedings. Ferst is a candidate for Director of Student Affairs, and Gerber maintained his participation in the debate would constitute an unfair advantage over his opponents. While the audience urged the fiery Ferst on, Gerber shouted, “I can’t allow this.” Despite encouragement from onlookers, Ferst backed down. can’t match the Administration gun-for-gun.” If the Coop were forced to close, Delia said he would favor moving it off campus. At this point Stegman leaped to the mike and chided, “Way to back down.” Lawrence claimed students should fight to keep the Record Coop on campus, an$l establish a food coop as well. Each candidate gave an opening statement, then responded to questions from the moderator and the audience. Robinson said student apathy is the source of virtually all problems on this campus, and his replies to questions were tempered by this attitude. “If you choose to let the administration direct traffic,” he stated, “then don’t complain about the jam.” Robinson claimed that SUNY budget cuts were a direct result of student complacency. Another disturbance arose when self-styled campus prophet Michael Levinson (Lev) took the floor and proposed his system of restructuring SA into a “course for credit,” open to all students and taught by himself. The SA presidential stipend of $2000 would be eliminated under the plan, as would elections. David Brownstein defended the stipend, claiming it allows the president to devote more time to the office by eliminatihg the need to work part time. Dennis Delia said he would prefer academic credit to a stipend, but thought the idea of a course taught by “Lev” was “absurd.” Quality of academics Lawrence subsequently took the mike and announced^-“It’s about time we got a government that got up and said what it believes in.” Turner Robinson said he did not believe the SA president, “deserved a dime,” and that a course in governing skills would be advisable. Brownstein explained that his Insight party does things differently. He disagreed with Delia on working with the Administration. “Speaking from experience,” he said, “students can challenge the Administration by taking an active stand on the issues.” The subject charged When a questioner from the audience asked about alcoholism on the Amherst campus, Lawrence said he favored restricting the Ellicott pub to beer only. Brownstein did not favor altering the pub, but claimed there should be more activities on the Amherst Campus. Candidate James Stegman exclaimed, “If you think you have a representative government, you’re dreaming.” In response to a question concerning the Cavages law suit against the Record Coop, the five candidates offered differing views. Brownstein stated that if the suit were lost, he would open the Coop anyway and force the Administration to arrest students working there. Delia disagreed saying, “SA —Vazquez Delia extolled the virtues of Albany lobbying, and working with the Administration. He claimed the planned Amherst gym is the most important issue among students, and vowed he would not hesitate to trek to Albany and apply direct pressure on legislators. He felt that Albany opposes the four-course as a means of cutting the SUNY at Buffalo budget. Delia proposed using the media to fight budget cuts and claimed faculty should not be represented in student groups. Steve Ferst Walter Lattka Gilbert Lawrence James He felt the quality of academics is the most important issue of the campaign, and proposed a plan of “bringing SA back to the students.” He repeatedly stressed the need for SA to take stands on issues Lawrence did not claim to be extensively qualified but said, “I can’t to any worse. If nothing else, I’ll scream loud.” He termed the proposed mass-transit system from downtown to the Amherst campus “vital.” The four-course load has, in his opinion, “never worked well,” and he proposed either a five-course load or an increase in contact hours per course. Lawrence urged students to support the possible Graduate Students Employees Union (GSEU) strike, claiming, “We can bring Ketter to his knees.” Dennis Delia Turner Robinson Cavages vs. the University One of two Record Coop suits dropped A decision dismissing one of the two suits instituted by Cavages Inc. against the Record Coop at this University was upheld by the Appellate Division of the New York State Supreme Court in Rochester. The Appellate Division also ordered the second suit to trial. Stegman Cavages, which operates a record store in the University Plaza, filed the two suits last year naming University President Robert Ketter as the defendant. One was a taxpayers’ suit, the other was a show cause action. Both were attempts on the part of Cavage to stop the operation of the Record Coop on campus. Last April, a State Supreme Court Justice dismissed the show cause action and ordered the taxpayers’ suit to proceed. Two months before. State Supreme Court Justice Norman Stiller had ordered the taxpayers’ suit to trial. The Appelate Division upheld Roncotta’s ruling because Cavages lacks the standing to bring a show cause action. Also upheld was Roncitta’s ruling that the Student Association should be allowed to intervene in the suit on the side of the respondent, Ketter. �Support grows for Attica inmate Hill by Cliff Dickson Staff Writer Spectrum the assault to retake the Attica plan tp cellblock, properly preserve evidence and properly and administer the budget Governor Hugh Carey commuted his sentence, making him immediately eligible for parole. All other inmates convicted of uprising related' crimes were pardoned by the Governor. A pardon entails the annulment of . Prosecutions one-sided explained Carey that the pardons and the commutation of Dacajeweiah’s sentence were not an indication of their innocence. His action was prompted by the conclusion that “the conduct of this investigation and prosecution has been such that we now confront the real possibility that the law itself may well fall into disrespect.” Carey described “the one sided nature of prosecutions,” citing the failure to properly plan investigation. On January 9, 1977, the New York State Board of Parole refused Dacajeweiah’s petition for parole. This action was unprecedented in cases where the Governor has already granted commutation of sentence. John Steinthrop, a paralegal who has worked with several organizations in attempts to free Dacajeweiah, sees him as a feels Steinthrop scapegoat. Dacajeweiah was singled out because he was the only inmate charged with the murder of a corrections officer. William Quinn was the only guard who died of injuries incurred prior to the assault by the State Police. Steinthrop said, “The state really wanted this one. There was tremendous coercive pressure brought on inmates to testify against Dacajeweiah. It was not a simple case. It was a very political decision to convict him.” Pressure Carey into pardon Janet Silver, a student here has working with been actively Family & Friends of John Hill to obtain his release from prison.

CAC has been a part of this University for the past 12 years. The organization began as the Community Aid Corps, a name that implied it functioned more as a source of help to existing institutions rather than as an instrument of social reform. However, Black explained, “with the advent of student activism in the late ’60’s, the name was changed to Community Action Corps which reflects an attitude of instituting change.” Today, CAC is responsible for implementing essential studerft this University services in including the Family Planning Center, Sunshine House, and the Be-A-Friend program Through CAC,‘ students are able to provide the community necessary with services while broadening their own horizons ' .

Dacajeweiah is the only person convicted of a crime stemming from the Attica State Penitentiary rebellion of September 1971, still serving time for that conviction. In 1975 he was found guilty of the murder of prison guard William Quinn and sentenced to twenty years to life. On December 30th, 1976 New York State sentence.

The seven major areas the workshops will cover are Social Action, Drug and Youth, Day Legal and Care, Education, Welfare Programs, Health Care, and Senior Citizens. The workshops will try to open communication between volunteers in the various areas in addition to trying to create a unified picture of CAC for those involved. For instance, the Social Action workshop will incorporate the sub-groups of Environmental Action, Western New York Peace Center, United Farmworkers Support Committee, Volunteers in Service to Erie County, and World Food Committee. The workshop will enable students in each one of these project areas to interact with each other and to complete a acquire more perspective of their role in Social Action as well as in CAC as an organizational whole. Sunday’s workshops will be led the coordinators and by organizers of each area. They will discuss CAC’s history, its potential and future, and the role of volunteers in the organization and the community. The afternoon will wind up in an gathering with informal refreshments being served. There are additional plans for aides and inviting resource community project heads to do a presentation in the form of workshops toward the end of the semester. All of CAC’s programs are rewarding and enable participants to feel a sense of achievement. Perhaps,one of the most practical and beneficial programs CAC sponsors is the one in which Senior Citizens are trained to with learning tutor children disabilities. Their interest, patience, and skills Can now be contributed to the growth of children who are in dire need of individual attention. A similar implemented program was statewide in Minnesota. CAC has enonpous potential for achieving constructive social reform. “The organization is a major link between the community and the student campus and hopes to maintain its respect and credibility. �"Buffalo Evening News’ credit and marketing networks available to Blue Chip Stamps.

According to Patty De Vinney and Lorraine Lerman, two Greenfield workers, “high quality” food is consistently served, achieved by maintaining “high standards” in the kitchen. Unlike a lot of restaurants with kitchens that are obscured from the customers’ view, Greenfield boasts an “open kitchen,” where people can observe the preparation of meals. “We don't hide anything,” says Lorraine. Anyone wishing to borrow a recipe from the Greenfield menu may do so. Everyone is encouraged to partake in “good eating,” whether at home or in “good foods restaurants.” Equal responsibility One of the striking differences between Greenfield and other more conventional restaurants is the cooperative setup. There is no Photos by Susan Killion manager, no boss, and no one-person positions like cook and dishwasher. A person may be cooking day and washing next. “We share as much as possible,” explained Lorraine. “There is equal responsibility in the kitchen.” dishes With one the the total absence of a hierarchy, the workers feel they really “making this are restaurant.” Work is more “meaningful” and “a sense of pride in your work” is developed as a result of the cooperative form, according to Patty. “There’s creativity you can express through your work,” said Lorraine, who believes that every become “the collective effort itself is creative.” As part of their dedication to the restaurant, many people work unpaid hours and attend weekly meetings to discuss such things as menus and business matters. For three weeks in December, (normally a slow month for them) Greenfield was shut down for renovations. Upon reopening they were blasted by the storm. For weeks the city had not plowed the streets, making parking near the restaurant impossible. “We were losing money,” explained Pat. Much money was invested in the three weeks of painting and repairing, and it was hoped that aspect of work meaningful can because necessary funtls could be accumulated during the month of January. However, the restaurant was forced to close down several times during the January blizzards. Nutrition More financial strain has been caused by the Florida freeze, which has drastically increased the of produce. The price increase has necessitated some minor adjustments in the Greenfield menu. Using “seasonal vegetables” has been one way to contend with the exhorbitant price prices. Despite the financial burdens, business is now beginning to pick up. The streets are cleared and —continued on page 14- Wednesday, 2 March 1977 .

With a little practice, ingenuity and just plain nerve, a skilled dilettante, can circumvent course requirements with the sureness of a jackal descending on carrion. Making things easier, now there’s a manual to consult, a how-to book called Surviving the The Undergraduate Jungle Student’s Guide to Good Grades, Columbia written two by graduates, Kathy University Krafts and Brenda Hauther. The authors say had they known of the academic ruses five years ago they “might have gotten into law school rather than writing this book.” — -Several exam hints are outlined. The authors claim essays exams “beg for bullshit” and can be successfully taken by “writing, writing, and more writing, until your hand cramps and shakes, and then write some more.” The wise student is mindful of the academic prejudices that govern a professor’s grading system. “If your professor disagrees with a critic, you can write a long diatribe against the poor man. If he idolizes the critic, then your essay can dwell on the man’s and astounding perception astuteness. (This is called indirect praise use it.)” A sharp student never misses a chance to tactfully brownnose a professor who might come in handy at recommendation time, according to the authors. A host of professors should be kept in tow during one’s tenure as an undergraduate. You never know when you might need one. The student who wants really good grades must not let pride get in the way. Begging for a higher grade is totally cool, say the authors, it’s just another way of - screwing the system. The book contains advice for those times when you have to cop a plea with a professor or dean to get an extension or deferred exam. Excuses that never work are old chestnuts like a death in the family or personal illness. The authors suggest mental anguish, general fatigue, job overload, anything that is convincing but also vague. No funny business If you’re bargaining for a higher grade, sleeping with the professor is out. “Honesty is the byword in sexual relationships today and if you do sleep with the professor he or she is likely to grade you more harshly than other students. Instead of that A and a grateful tweak on all four cheeks, you are going to get the D you deserve,” explain Krafts and Hauther The authors have a warped and cynical view of today’s college, seeing it as a necessary stepping stone on the way to that law practice or fat doctor’s salary. College is not an end in itself, they insist, but instead a weeding out process for the proverbial real world, and you have to be ruthless to survive. This is a book for that pernicious college character who is swarming out of control; the cutthroat. Anyone less jaded and ambitious than the throat will find the guide a real snooze t, But the authors need not worry, because the way colleges look today, the book will doubtless be a best seller. - OJidve/isity Pen or shovel? And they do reveal a slew of tricks that are guaranteed to produce the highest grades with a minimum of work. possible Cliffs and Monarch’s Notes are suggested instead of actually reading an entire novel, and Classics Illustrated Comics are not to be scoffed at. Invented bibliographies, bought papers, and even plagiarism are part of the game plan, in fact, anything that saves your skin goes. Because of the dangers of being caught, cheating is discouraged, but numerous illicit methods are still detailed, so that the reader can at least cheat with sophistication.

These free enterprise chairs, many of which have been established with handsome endowments from businesspeople and corporations, range from Georgia State University’s highly successful teacher-training program to a wide-ranging package deal at San Antonio’s St. Mary’s University where local businesses play an active role. Whatever the program, a professor of free enterprise is seen as the first line of defense against what many critics feel to be massive ignorance among young Americans concerning the basic ideas of capitalism. College is one of the chief culprits working against a better understanding of the American economic way, these critics believe. “Although its (the assault on —continued on page 14 — THERE WILL BE AN ACADEMIC AFFAIRS Task Force meeting Thursday, March 3 at 4 pm 332 Norton.

For many professionals, the problem is knowing when and how to talk about death with a patient. One of the reasons for this may be that people in our culture have not learned to talk about personal death with any degree of comfort, said one nurse interviewed by The Spectrum, who did not wish to be identified. Human death has been regarded as a phenomenon to be controlled, denied or hidden. Could it be that the dying have been from the segregated remainder of society and the living have had little opportunity to become psychologically prepared for death, either their own or someone close to them? Lack of adequate socialization discussing death, forr in combination with the high value attached in this society to keeping emotions under tight control, serves to prevent the medical staff and patient from moving easily to an open conversation about the patient’s death. Threatening In addition to our cultural conditioning, “Open talk about Extra curricular dying carries a personal threat; herself. “Most of a nurses time, especially for anyone whose span effort and energy is directed of time has been shortened by an toward preserving, or helping a illness that is life threatening in person to hang on to life as Jeanne opposed to assisting him in the nature,” said nurse Benoliel in an article in Nursing successful completion of the act Forum. of dying,” said Jane A.

Wednesday, 2 March 1977 . The Spectrum . Page seven �Guest Opinion EditPrial bv Wendy Krasnoff Dear Bartleby: Voting is something students don't do. Each year the powers-that-be in student government roll the heavy, grey voting machines to the most prominent thoroughfares in the University. And each year the great majority of students pass them by. Three thousand is considered a heavy turnout. A victory margin of a thousand is acclaimed as a landslide. We think the great non-voting majority of students is trying to tell us something. We think their abstention communicates a deep, pervasive disaffection with the students who administrate the activity fee from Norton Hall. They feel this way because they see only abject failure in student government (which is no more true than to say SA has been an unqualified success), or a purpose or function too obscure to be of even passing interest. And so no one votes. And hardly anyone complains. And the student leaders stumble forward in search of a purpose, without a mandate from the constituency they purport to represent, already at an insurmountable disadvantage in facing the corporate-sure University administration. Government by default answers to nobody, does nothing. But maybe you still prefer not to It's quite possible this year you feel there is more significance in withholding your vote than in casting it, and that you wish once again to communicate that deep, pervasive disaffection with the Norton status quo. But assuming that there are those among the student powers-that-be who already know something's not quite right in this world, who know the distance between themselves and the average student, and wish dearly that this Hugh Carey On December 30, Governor sentence life of the commutation announced the that This meant of John Hill (aka Dacajewiah). was It parole. immediate eligible for he was formality, hearing was a widely assumed that the has since parole is rarely denied to someone who people other The received a commuted sentence. pardoned convicted of Attica related crimes were to by the governor. Governor Carey was forced do this by the overwhelming evidence that the corruption, Attica prosecution was riddled with of evidence. destruction witnesses, and bribing of It was also obvious that while 62 inmates were charged in 42 indictments with 1289 separate offenses, not one state trooper was charged in the homicide of 43 people killed in the retaking of the prison. The crimes of the state officials were never seriously investigated. The parole board met on Thursday, January 13, 1977. It was headed by Ed Hammock, who served on the Attica prosecution from 1971-1973. After the hearing, the parole board announced that no decision had been arrived at. Tuesday, January The hearing was delayed until 18, because the board stated that they wanted to obtain more information. On this day, John Hill was denied parole. John Steinthrop of Attica Now, who attended the hearing said, “The parole board bowed to the pressure of a vicious campaign waged by the state prison employees association and conservative New York State legislatures, led by Dale Volker.” Volker organized thirty nine state legislators to urge that parole be denied to John Hill. Hill can ask for a review of the parole board hearing, but it is doubtful he will get even that. It was also ruled that he cannot apply for parole until 1979. The parole board gave Dacajeweiah four parole. The “it would was that diminish reason the first heinousness of a serious crime.” If the parole board was so concerned about serious crimes, they , would consider the racism and brutality in the prison which caused the legitimate rebellion. The second reason given was that “it would evoke a negative community response, and encourage disrespect for the law.” Where was the Governor’s respect for the law when he ordered the troopers to storm the prison? The third reason given was that “it would preclude further rehabilitative treatment.” The final reason given by the parole board was that “it would condone his pattern of anti-social behavior.” Despite the board’s claim of “anti-social behavior,” while at Greenhaven Prison, Hill served as a co-chairman of a conference called by the Inmates United Committee. The topics discussed by the inmates, state legislators, and community people included a proposed revision in New York State Corrections Law, and reduced sentence time for inmates earning high school or college credit. John Hill was one of the founders of the steering committee which has representatives of Ml the inmates’ organizations seated on it. John Hill’s case offered an opportunity to blame an inmate scapegoat for the death of a guard, and divert attention from the deaths caused by state gunfire. For all the bitterness and the money spent on investigations and prosecutions, John Hill is the only person still in prison as a result of the massacres at Attica!!!

Cohen . , �Guest Opinion by Steven Schwartz Student Association President Academic amnesty Editor’s next year. SCATE and the Course Description Handbook will be lost without the fee. Both are far from perfect, but given a few years, they might be. Besides, if SCATE were allowed to be developed it will serve a two-fold purpose: one, students would have a good indicator in seeing how good a teacher is (and how good the course is) and two, the criticisms (or compliments) will help a professor be a more effective teacher. The Record Co-op (you remember it?) now is not only in danger of being shut down by Ketter and Cavages but by the students also. It would be a shame that the same students who worked so hard to save it, will be the ones to close it. Activities: Besides UUAB, SA runs a variety of activities from parties to discos to the Winter (Summer) Carnival. All are funded by mandatory fees. There would be no more speakers on campus, as well as an end to China Night, the Brazilian This week (March 2-4) students will decide the future existence of the student mandatory fee. Unlike the vote two years ago, we at Student Association (SA) decided not to run a “vote yes” campaign. I felt that it would be unethical for us to spend mandatory fee money to tell you how to vote on the fee question. However, this doesn’t mean we don’t have an opinion on the question. As President of SA, I urge all students to VOTE YES on'the upcoming referendum. Every year the mandatory fee is criticized and everyone bitches about it, but to vote it down would be an unwise decision. I will not say that every dollar is spent wisely and efficiently, but that a strong effort is made. To vote it down, because you don’t like how $1,000 is spent or disagree with the nature of some of the organizations is ridiculous. The Student Carnival, Panic Theatre, Weekend Coffeehouses and Association budget is over $900,000, so instead of Life Workshops, if the fee is voted down. complaining about small parts of it, just look at the SASU: If anything can justify its expenditures, it’s SASU, the Student Association of the State whole picture: Athletics: The entire athletic program is funded by University. Last year they got both the TAP and mandatory fees. If there was no mandatory fee, we BEOG cuts restored and kept tuition and dorm rent down this year (even though the debt service is would have no intercollegiate program or club increasing). In the last two years, they’ve saved most sports. But more importantly, there would be no intramural or recreational program. That’s right no students at least $200.00. And how fnuch is it worth to you-to have a student on the Board of Trustees? going to the Bubble on Saturday afternoon or working out at Clark Hall or playing tennis outside. Or to have the voting laws changed? Or to have the Oh, there is an alternative. You see, the State would Jewish holidays off?

No way but then who NYPIRG, the Biology Club or any of the hobby and will? You will of course. The Board of Trustees will special interest clubs. The clubs are an essential part of this University, as thousands of students belong to probably impose an athletic fee (which will be them. Plus, a lot of these groups do service that $40.00 and you, as mandatory) of about $35.00 students will have NO SAY in how it is spent. That’s affect a lot more students. UB offers a lot to the community through many of these groups; without right, if you want recreational hours extended at the the clubs we’ve closed our doors to the community.

We expect that a majority of TAs and GAs will vote affirmatively; in that case, a strike will be held in order to pressure the Ketter administration to negotiate with us. As you know, many of the issues to be negotiated are crucial to Troth undergraduates and 1) limiting TAs and GAs. They include: undergraduate class size; 2) resisting proposed changes in the credit/contact hour status detrimental to you and your instructors; 3) encouraging a program of equal opportunity affirmative action for people with non-traditional backgrounds; 4) demanding better security on campus for both undergraduate and graduate students; 5) restoring services essential to all of us. GSEU is working to improve your learning conditions and our working conditions. Many of you are already' supporting the expected GSEU job action, because you realize the quality of your education is at stake. However, Some undergraduates are worried about the immediate effects a strike will have on them. It is true that until the Ketter administration negotiates’ with us, we will not teach classes. And, like you, we will not attend classes; we will face the same problems you face by refusing to attend classes. Some of you erroneously believe that you will not receive credit for your classes because of the job action. But we are your welfare. One of our concerned about non-negotiable demands to the administration will be academic amnesty for you. This means that you will not be penalized when you support our job action. Furthermore, after our demands have been satisfied, we will do everything possible to compensate for classes missed during a strike. Various options will be available; we can hold makeup classes or we can employ compensatory grading, a system in which you are graded.for the work you have done while classes were still being held, before the strike. We will not permit your academic careers to be jeopardized. In the coming weeks, many TAs and GAs will be talking to you about our job action and its effects On you. During classtime, we encourage you to ask any questions you have about the strike and about its immediate and long-term consequences. You’ll find that, in the long run, you will benefit from our job action; it will secure a better learning situation for each of you. We’re asking you to support us now, when our mutual welfare is at stake. Your support will force the administration to come to the negotiating table more quickly; your help will shorten the time it takes the administration to meet our demands. Thus, we may resume normal activities more quickly, and resume teaching and attending classes. You can begin to help by asking your instructor about the job action. You can help us further by joining the undergraduate committee which is assisting us now. It will be meeting in Norton at 2:00 p.m. this Thursday, March 3. Cindy Whiting (883-5936) can give you more information about the undergraduate support movement. With your help, we can build a better academic environment. We invite you to join us and urge you to work with us. - — -- Sincerely, Innovation not considered To the Editor. In the Spectrum's evaluation of candidates for office, it was stated that Student Association (S.A.) should be “an organization where people with ideas and leadership can bring student influence to bear on the University decision-making process.” However, in the endorsements, stress was put mainly on experience in S.A. and on a clear understanding of the issues. Innovative ideas and candidates’ abilities to work with people are barely skimmed over. INSIGHT feels that candidates’ views on the issues should influence the elections, yet Spectrum neglected to include many of the more important positions of our party. Wiih Faculty research as the criterion for educammal excellence at this University, S.A. should be concerned with changing this criterion to one of teaching ability. The Students Course and Teacher Evaluation (S.C.A.T.F..) has been an expensive nop. INSIGHT feels that by making S.C.A.T.E. shorter, simpler; more available, and mandatory tor all departments it can become an effective tool in the The GSEU determination of teacher effectiveness. Within S.A. itself, the budget must remain a high priority. Although endorsing our Treasurer, Spectrum criticizes INSIGHT for not giving athletics a special position in the financial process. We feel that the expenditure of our mandatory fee must be decided in a general context. Athletics should not be guaranteed a funding level which will limit monies given to all other clubs and organizations from SA. Finally, INSIGHT brings a new enthusiasm and determination to get things done in a S.A. which has, in the past, been ineffective. Thank you. the INSIGHT party candidates David Brownstein, President Scott Miller. Executive Vice President Dennis Black, V.P. for Sub-Board 1. Inc. Cheryl Williams. Treasurer Steve Spitz.

Our four-year Department commitment to athletics on this campus always seem to be somewhat of a “controversy.” There are those who feel opr commitment to athletics is “feeble” while others feel we give “way too much.” One thing is certain, most people are not satisfied with the program. With this in mind, we at SA felt that in order for the program to flourish, we must make a strong commitment to its stability. For them (the Athletic Department) to function on a year-by-year basis is ridiculous. It is impossible to put together a decent program when you do not know if your team will be cut at the whim of the Financial Assembly. Assembly If this passes, however, the Financial lose its year-to-year decisions on establishing the Students will still oversee the expenditures amount. ' and a review board will set their priorities with the consent of the Assembly. So you won’t be giving up control (the SA Treasurer can still freeze funds] you’ll just be taking the Athletic Budget out of the “political” infighting. Besides, if this passes, the U.B. Foundation will match funds to bring back a fpotball team. They will only invest money in a stable program. I As a student, 1 am going to vote this week, and am going to vote yes. I want the Athletic program to be stable apd to grow. I think this is the only way to do it (short of large increases in their budget). Thank you.

I would like the opportunity to reply to Steve Spitz’s statement concerning his perspectives and goals for the position of Director of Academic Affairs. Mr. Spitz expresses his deep concern for the maintenance of the Four Course load, and for the quality of education at this University, both important goals for a person seeking the directorship. His description of my role this year as Director, however, can at best be termed as crass and unsupportive, at worst slanderous and liable. Mr. Spitz has taken the position of attacking my actions, and has failed to provide the student body with any concrete goals for the future. What is particularly troublesome to me is not the fact that he is questioning my abilities, but rather that he is basing his attacks on issues that he has either no knowledge of or has failed to investigate. Mr. Spitz has correctly stated that my name is not a household word in The Spectrum. What, however, Mr. Spitz has failed to mention is that the issues that an Academic Affairs Director works on have been constantly in the news. The Four Course Load issue, issues dealing with the' Colleges, SCATE, the Undergraduate Course Description Handbook, the Faculty Senate committees, grievance procedures, TAP, etc., are all examples of projects I have been working on. The fact that the Four Course Load will remain the same next year, following the same basic format, is a result of many hours of research and action. I* representing the student body, spoke in front of the SUNY Board of Trustees to plead our case. Along with this, I made several trips to Albany to investigate the situation, and was in front of the Faculty Senate on a number of occasions, and the results were positive. Throughout, this period information was constantly provided to and through The Spectrum, urging both student involvement at public meetings and providing students with an idea of what was happening. Perhaps, Mr. Spitz, if you had read The Spectrum you would have been aware of these things. Moreso, if you had taken any amount of time to investigate this office, you would have been aware of all these facts and many more. Unfortunately, as a candidate running for such an important office that would effect the lives of all undergraduates on this campus, you did not. Andrew Lalonde Director of Academic Affairs The losing basketball season To the Editor. Let us begin by stating outright that we wholeheartedly support the U.B. Basketball Team, and in particular, we love Coach Leo Richardson. We wish to respond to the accusations levelled by Richard Allen, Mark Davis, Andy Lipkin and Don Christie, hereafter referred to as the “Armchair Four.” Considering the lack of support which the Coach receives from the higher echelons at this University, he has performed admirably. The Armchair Four’s letter of February 21 naively states that the Coach “had a lineup of four guards 6’2” or shorter” in the game. This is outright propaganda. The presence of the four guards did not Exceed a few minutes playing time and, besides, was integral to the comeback effort of the Bulls. As far as Coach Richardson’s general strategy of starting a shorter and quicker line up, we think this was a sound game plan. Consider the fact that the offense was getting open for their shots but was merely cold in the first half, a truism which even the most omnipotent of Coaches can not be held accountable for. Instead of capricious criticism, the Coach deserves all the credit in the world for having the foresight to stick with that very same offense which the unfortunate Armchair Four feel was ineffective; Consider further that this same offense brought the team back from a twenty point deficit and then sent the game into overtime. The mentality that stresses a team’s deficit and then selectively perceives any comeback effort is the same egomaniacal mentality which is at the root of the cynicism which governs our lives. The Armchair Four claim that the Coach never fallacy, and even if it wasn’t, so what? As far as never yelling instructions, Coach Richardson is one of the most animated coaches we know of; always yelling defensive assignments and calling for play “Three.” As for his reluctance to call spur-of-the-moment times out, this is a page from John Wooden’s book and we are sure you wouldn’t criticize Coach Wooden for the same tactic, or would you? The further belief of the Armchair Four that potential -prejudice is behind keeping Coach Richardson is so assinine and downright BABY that it really is not worth discussing. To hold Richardson “most responsible” for the team’s record shows a lack of understanding which far exceeds that of even a comatose hospital patient. A team’s won-loss record does not reveal the entire story and is not the guage with which we should pass judgement on the Coach or the team. The criteria upon which we have chosen to base our opinion is far less tangible. Why don’t we all give credit to a team which gives 100% at all times. To see a united bench led by Coach Richardson, as in their 78-77 victory over Canisius (a coaching gem considering the abundance of injuries and foul trouble) reveals to us that the Bulls have not yet lost heart, so why should we? Heart, motivation, and desire is something which is inbred in the ballplayers and deeply imbued in Coach Richardson. Without a recruiting system and within a structure which forces the Coach to split his time up, this is all we can ask argues with officials. This is an absolute for. Louis Masur Mark Rich man �bullpen by David J. Rubin Special Features Editor My father couldn’t drive me to school last Friday so 1 decided to take a Metro Bus instead. I don’t like paying for the bus, but it doesn’t hurt so much when I use those bus tokens which are discounted by student mandatory fees. Anyhow since 1 was a bit early, I stopped off in the Union to get a qucik bite. As I walked in, I suddenly remembered that it was Commuter Breakfast Day. “Oh boy,” thought I. “Now I can eat for free, courtesy of student mandatory fees, and I’ll probably even run into some friends of mine that 1 don’t see too often.” As it turned out, I ran into so many people that before I knew what had happened I missed my class. Anyhow, while I waited for my next class in Haas Lounge, listening to a folk singer being paid for by student mandatory fees, I picked up a copy of The Spectrum, which is also partially funded by student mandatory fees. Glancing through it, I noticed an ad for a Leon Redbone concert that was being sponsored next weekend by student mandatory fees. Being quite a Leon Redbone fan, 1 dug into my wallet, only to find that the cupboard was bare. “Where can I get bucks for a couple of tickets?” I thought. The answer turned out to be the Student Association (SA) office. I realized that I had sold some books in the SA Book Exchange, which incidentally is funded by student mandatory fees, and that I never had picked up my check. Problem solved, with dollars to spare. I cruised over to class and was totally bored. In fact, I was so bored, that 1 began to daydream. I dreamt that 1 saw a beautiful ten speed Peugeot bike in that Lockwood Bicycle Lot which is funded by student mandatory fees. I really wanted it because I was sick of my old three-speed. So I dreamt that I took it. Unfortunately, about 25 people saw me take it, and in a matter of moments I was arrested. Fortunately there was enough money in Legal Services’ bail fund (which is funded by student mandatory fees) so that 1 was back on the street in no time. Class ended, and so did the dream. On my way to lunch, I again stopped at the SA office and picked application for a student mandatory up an fee-sponsored undergraduate research grant. I have dhis great idea for a sociological study of life on Chippewa Street, but 1 couldn’t affort to finance the experiments alone. But my meal was interrupted when 1 remembered that I had to get my sister a-birthday present today. I charged into the Record Coop which is funded by student mandatory fees and grabbed Joni Mitchell’s newest, Hejira. The price was so cheap, that the remains of my book exchange money was enough to cover it. Since classes were finished for the day, J decided to take inBye Bye, Birdie which was being sponsored by student mandatory fees especially for commuter students who don’t like coming to campus at night. I bumped into a friend of mine in Conference Theater who asked me if I wanted to come to a beer blast in Ellicott tonight. 1 asked her who was sponsoring it, and she told me it was SA Student Activities using student mandatory fees. I had to turn down her invitation, though, because I was going to the Bulls’ hockey game that night and then skating afterwards. (Just in case anyone is still wondering, athletics are sponsored by student mandatory fees.JShe suggested I drop by afterwards* and I accepted. I had some spare time after the movie, so I stopped of at the birth control clinic, (surprise! The birth control clinic is funded by student mandatory fees) just in case. Since it was still too soon for me to catch my normal lift back home, I decided to do some light studying in the student mandatory fee funded Browsing Library. But the music playing in the music room, which, by the way, is funded by student mandatory fees, was so enjoyable, that 1 got " no work done. Anyhow, I met the guy who drives me home, and we headed for his car. On the way, we got into a fairly heated discussion about student mandatory fees. He claimed that he doesn’t get anything out of his $67 and he doesn’t want to keep oh paying stipends to those bureaucrats in Norton Hall. I told him about all the things 1 had done during the day and why the fee should be kept. Anyhow, one word led to another and the words turned to pushes, and the pushes to punches. He ended up with a bloody nose and a sprained wrist, I suffered a black eye. But I was lucky. My medical bills were covered by the health insurance program through Sub Board’s Health Care Division which is funded by—you guessed it—student mandatory fees. equired attendance unfair "o the Editor. I am a graduate student in the Department of Elementary and Remedial Education. For some reason, unknown to me, the professors of this department feel free to require attendance in classes when the University is officially closed. I am referring here to one professor in particular who is holding a mandatory class on Tuesday, April 5. pThere was a valid (?) reason for this at the beginning ■of the semester; since, most of the students in the ■class are teachers in the Buffalo area (who were ■ supposed to have their Easter recess the week after UB’s) the two weeks were simply interchanged. Because of the snow, the public schools have lost their Easter vacation, but the teacher has kept with her original schedule. Although class has been cancelled- for April 12, those who do not attend the April 5 class are required to write a paper. Somehow, this does not seem fair to those of us who follow the University’s schedule. The teacher I am referring to is not the only one who has done this, either. I would be interested in a response from the administration as to why this sort of thiiig is allowed to continue. BOOK SALE Name withheld upon request Oh great and mighty present both sides of the story. The Spectrum however, seems satisfied only to print what it agrees To the Editor. , Pardon me, 1 believe your hypocrisy is showing. In the February 14 Spectrum, freedom of expression was the subject for the editor-in-chief’s editorial. It dealt with a recent court case in which that freedom was being attacked, and you came to its rescue using such stinging defensive phrases as: “There is greater danger in censorship, than in allowing publishers and filmmakers to sell whatever adults will buy,” “Freedom is lost in small steps,” and, (my favorite), “Censorship and tyranny go hand in hand.” Interesting. It seems only like last year (perhaps it was) when vice president Dr. Richard A, Siggelkow condemned The Spectrum for denying the U.S. Marine Corps the right to place an ad in its newspaper. He said it was a type of a completely restrictive policy that clearly infringes on the rights of the sponsoring redership” (Guest Opinion, Spectrum, 10 November 76). Curious Oh great and mighty Spectrum , please explain how you can rant and rave for freedom of expression and then deny a military institution the chance to do so in your paper? Someone once told me one of the most important laws of responsible journalism was to with. (This might be allowable if the paper wasn’t funded from student fees). Because it is, however, The Spectrum owes it to all students to present all points of view, no matter how much they bother its present Editor-in-Chief. Your notice in the Want Ads section state that they may hot discriminate in any way. Yellow deny any military advertising to be placed at all in your newspaper. A slight inconsistency here? Damn right it is! Your deciding arbitrarily what should and should not be printed is a cause for great concern. God only knows what might have been printed if The Spectrum did not happen to disagree with it. So come on down-off your cloud, Spectrum. Your high sounding words of freedom, no censorship, and non-discrimination are sounding a little empty these days. If you decide to continue your policy of no military ads, at least acknowledge it for the double standard it is. And please, in the future, spare us from your endless repetition for freedom of speech and expression. If you think you’re doing us all a favor by deciding what we can and cannot read, guess again. Remember, Big Brother also had only the best interests of the people in mind.

In addition, the teachers were also found to be spending three times the usual amount of time on economics back in their own classrooms. “We constantly get requests for information and help in developing new chairs,” says Dr. Michael Mescon, holder of the Georgia State chair and a free enterprise pioneer. One of the most unique free enterprise programs is taught at St. Mary’s Texas school..

As administrative assistant in charge of busing, it is his job to make sure that thousands of students are able to get to class on time each day. Frieday’s is an often thankless job which, nowadays is performed amidst grumbling and a growing number of complaints. Bob Smith, an Ellicott resident and junior in engineering, criticized the scheduling of the buses saying, “There is an insufficient number of buses during the rush hours. Even if there is a bus there it doesn’t mean you’re going to get on it.” Other users voice similar complaints and Frieday is willing to concede, “There are times when service stinks and it’s my fault because I don’t have the Roger told of sweltering buses, freezing buses and buses with inoperable windows.

One of the members, Larry Repanes, does his job so diligently he is known to the drivers as “Roger’s Stoolie.

For instance, preparations for the upcoming chemistry exam on March 8 are being .made not only by students, but by Frieday as well. Still, many students complain about the bus service.

With the toll inflation takes, it costs more and more to provide the same service. For example, Blue Bird won the contract for the next three years when their sealed bid (opened in January) turned out to be the lowest submitted. Yet their proposed $600,000 charge for the first year alone represents a 30 percent increase over this year’s cost. For that amount of money, Frieday is able to run eight transit-type (two-door) and 12 to 14 school buses during the day along with reduced service for the much lighter weekend and nighttime runs. The problem then becomes one of efficiency, that is, setting up a schedule that makes the most of the molited amount of buses and then making sure the that following drivers are — consensus seems to be that busing between campuses is an inherently faulty idea with many students looking forward to the day when the Amherst Campus is fully operational.

Hockey Bulls' goaltender John Moore dropped both ends of a weekend set with favored Western Michigan, but his stellar work in Buffalo's net empitomized his performances for Buffalo over the past two and a half seasons. He stopped 88 of 97 shots over the two games, and time and again brought the crowd to its feet with his dazzling saves and flashy style. John Moore will be sorely missed when the hockey Bulls hit the ice next NOW winter. We also honor as Co-Athlete-of-the-Week freshman Gabi Gray (shown here shooting) of the women s basketball team, who was Buffalo s only highlight in a losing effort to Canisius at the Big Four Championship this weekend, and who also starred in the Bulls win over Buffalo State. Gray s hustle helped keep the score respectable during the second half of the Canisius game, and she led the Bulls in scoring with 20 points. Her fine defense and accurate shooting also contributed to Buffalo s win over the Bengals.

Buffalo coach Walter Gantz was understandably pleased with the performance of Ryerson and Halady but also praised the of development surprising freshman Bob Reiss. For the third week in a row Reiss recorded the fastest leg on the mile relay team. His accomplishments have earned honor of being the him anchorman on the relay team. Buffalo Overall, the performance was a weak one. In four of the twelve events the Bulls had no one to represent them and scored in Only half of the remaining events. Gantz felt that although his team is facing much is definitely it adversity improving. “We’re hoping that as* the season progresses we’ll be able to put in more practice time," he said. Currently the track men must train in the Amherst Bubble, and due to a peculiar scheduling arrangement they are allotted only forty-five minutes of use early in the afternoon. Not only are many team members still in class at this time but when warm-up, warm-down and changing are considered it leaves the Bulls with an effective training time span of only fifteen minutes several outstanding Despite individual efforts, Buffalo’s track team was overwhelmed Saturday in its clash with Alfred University and Mansfield State. Host Alfred won the meet scoring 70 points while Mansfield State and Buffalo finished far behind with 37 and 16 points respectively. A stellar performance was turned in by senior distance man John Ryerson who not only scored half the team’s points but also was Buffalo’s only individual winner. The mile run, in which pitted against was Ryerson Alfred’s top distance runner, turned into a two jnan battle with the lead changing frequently until the last eighty yards when a applied powerful Ryerson finishing kick that carried him across the finish line, winning witji a time of 4:31. Ryerson came back an hour later only to enter another tough two man battle in the two mile run. This time,' however, it was Ryerson who was edged in the last few yards as he crossed the finish line at 9:59. Another bright spot for the Bulls was the record breaking performance of senior weight man Walt Halady. Halady won the 35 pound hammer throw event, with per day.

A Faculty Senate subcommittee will then evaluate each course and determine whether an additional contact hour will be necessary to comply with the Dearing memorandum. The memorandum, issued to SUNY presidents this summer, mandated that all SUNY schools conform to the Carnegie unit, 3 credit hours for 3 contact hours (3 for 3) in the scheduling of their courses or show reasonable justification for offering more credits than contact hours. Since most of the science-related fields already employ the Carnegie unit, humanities and social sciences will be the most seriously affected. Naturally, this system has caused problems, especially in scheduling. While some justified units plan to schedule courses on the Monday, Wednesday, Friday (MWF) 50 minute and Tuesday, Thursday (TTH) 80 minute schedule, other courses whose unequal contact/credit hours remain unjustified by next fall will have to schedule an additional contact hour to satisfy the requirements. A memorandum to department chairmen ststes, '“Presumably, those courses which request 4-3, and are disallowed by the Faculty Senate committee (because of educationally unjustified or negative impaction on 4 course load) will be scheduled for a fourth contact hour during the noon period.” This means courses that retain the present time slots, with the exception of the noon period which will remain open for those courses requiring additional contact hours. Budgets The committee, whose primary function will be approve the justifications made by various departments, will also supervise maintenance of the existing system by asking each department for their evaluations of it. to SUNY campus budgets are determined by the number of credit hours allotted for each course, with more money allocated to those schools offering more credits, which, therefore deems it impractical for this University to change to the 5 course, 3 credit system. Undergraduate Dean, Walter Kunz refered to the present controversy surrounding the credit system as “a kind of inflation,” saying, “We are merely defining what a credit is worth at this University.” Schedule problems If an instructor or department cannot or will hot offer justification for a course’s unequal contact/credit system, they must either decrease the amount of credit hours or extend the contact hours to meet the Dearing requirements. Extension of the contact hours for those courses would mean the addition of a Jtjjntr‘ period instead of the previously proposed 65/100 minute extension of all the time periods. Obviously, the 65/100 minute schedule could not work in conjunction with courses still utilizing the 50/80 minute schedule, and the only other alternative for those courses not meeting the justification would be the implementation of an additional time period. > - * Michele Cohen Spectrum Present four-course load to be retained through ’77 —’78 Spectrum SUNY offers study programs overseas by Reprieve provided for justification by Paulette Buraczenski Summer or semester Staff Writer Study abroad programs offer students the chance to become more than another anonymous face absorbing the v words of an omniscient professor, to do more than spend hours turned into days with a book in a university library. There is a world of people and places which provide endless opportunities for students to learn and to develop human understanding; a world that is filled with stimulating and unique experience simply waiting for the eyes, ears, and minds of those who are inquisitive. This University makes that world easily accessible through a variety of study abroad programs sponsored here and at other state schools. Fifty-seven fields of study are offered in over 27 countries. Students’ options are further broadened by a choice of spending a year, semester, or summer studying abroad. Subjects range from foreign language and linguistics, to fine arts (art history), teacher education, European Common Market, archaeology, anthropology, criminal justice, oceanography, geology, and even include such specialties as landscape architecture and international broadcasting. New program to Quebec SUNY at Buffalo sponsors six programs, four of which take place in the summer. A new intensive French language program at Laval University in Quebec will be made available to students for the first time this July. There are no language prerequisites and people can be placed at different levels of proficiency. The 8 credits can help satisfy a semester of French required as a prerequisite for study at Grenoble. Pierre Aubery, Director of Undergraduate Studies in French, who formulated and conceived the program, is enthusiastic about Quebec as a burgeoning city. A summer at Laval provides participants the chance to be immersed in new and stimulating surroundings; however, living in Quebec does not present the cultural shock that living in France presents for some. Travel costs to Quebec are evidently less than to Europe. This University offers other possibilities to spend a summer abroad. One can learn about British primary schools through Didsbury College in Manchester, England, explore geology in Tecapan, Mexico -and study Spanish in Salamanca, Spain.'" The full year programs feature Puerto Rican studies in San Juan, Puerto Rico and French language and civilization in Grenoble, France. i According to a memorandum issued by the committee chairman Clarke Murdock, if the instructor or department decides to decrease the credit hours of a given course instead of extending its contact hours, they must prove to the committee that they are “not seriously impairing the ability of students to meet existing degree requirements,” Courses for elective credit It is recommended that students take elective credit for their k overseas courses rather than applying credit to their major. Of course, language is an exception. For example, studying French in France (or in Quebec) is the optimun learning and living situation for acquiring fluency. Unlike at ■ Cornell, Princeton, and other private institutions, studying abroad is not difficult to arrange for the student here. The applicant does not have to apply for a leave of absence from this University *or apply as a visiting student to the overseas school. If the program is being arranged through another state school, applications are submitted there while one remains a registered student here. Applications for this summer must be submitted by April 1, for the fall semester of ’77 by March 15, and for the spring of ’78 by November 1st. Qualifications for students interested in foreign study are not stringent. Unless a program has a limited amount of space, most students are accepted into it. The application covers basic information about major,, grade point average, and semester credits completed to date. A proficiency form is necessary if courses will be taken in another language. The costs of studying abroad are similar to the costs of studying at Buffalo. The basic difference is the air fare. Touching, spiritual moments Students who have taken a semester or year abroad can only speak enthusiastically and postively about their experience. Some relate touching, spiritual moments. . . . The quiet of evening settles. Birds circle overhead, their calls echoing in the absence of sound. Men and women separate as they wind their way toward the Western Wall.

Regina Spirito, a participant in the Grenoble program, also feels she benefited greatly from her experience. In addition to her university classes, she also taught English in a French school, underscoring the endless possibilities are endless for various learning opportunities. This spring semester 36 students from this University are taking advantage of study abroad programs in such places as Belgium, Costa Rica, Ireland, England, the Mediterranean, Singapore, and USSR.

Jeffrey Curtis, Overseas Program Advisor, feels that not many people are aware of the existing programs and that there is a misconception about the cost.

An additional $150 in questionable receipts will be reviewed by a committee headed by SA treasurer Neil Seiden. Should the court determine money was stolen or otherwise misappropriated the charges would involve grand larceny. The decision by SA to resort to court action was reached after the deadline of a 10-day extension granted BSU for the purpose of accounting for the funds in question had passed. According to SA spokesmen the deadline passed “without any word from BSU.” When asked why BSU seemingly ignored the deadline, Haddock explained, “I had to refuse to that phase of the investigation because of the conditions that were imposed on me. They (SA) wanted me to justify the receipts without John Lott being present. He, in effect, is the one they’re accusing of theft.” Lott, a BSU executive board member at that time allegedly had final control of the funds and therefore has the final accountability. Specific guidelines However, since Lott was expelled as the result of a scuffle in the SA office last December, it was not legally possible for him to meet with SA on campus and SA firmly refused to conduct any busines off campus. “We are satisfied with the amount stated in the audit,” said Haddock. Haddock emphasized it is his belief the funds were definitely applied toward legitimate club expenses. “Even if this is the case,” asserted Seiden, “there are very specific guidelines for financial control to which all SA organizations are subject.” Seiden revealed a document, «igned by the leaders of BSU, indicating that they had read, understood, and would abide by the financial guidelines established for all the SA groups. Addressing this point, Haddock said, “Except for this one occurrencev the BSU always has and always will follow the ' financial guidelines. This incident was not so much an oversight as an act of rebellion evolving from the severely strained relations between BSU and SA.” The long range ramifications of the controversy will probably include some administrative and SA policy changes. / Possible administrative changes According to Seiden, a committee consisting of Sub-Board Treasurer Arthur Lalonde, Assistant Vice President of Student Affairs Howard Deuell and Assistant to the Director for Student Affairs and Services Dick Lidge and Seiden will convene this week to discuss such changes, inducting the possibility of a revision of the existing cash advance system. Other administrative changes are also likely. Seiden implied that future BSU budget adjustments could not be ruled out. According to Seiden, of the 63 organizations being funded through SA as of the current fiscal year, BSU has the largest budget. Considering the final outcome of the whole controversy, Haddock was optimistic. “I’m hoping that with the elections a new tone will develop for BSU/SA relations and that finally there will be better communications and rapport,” he said. Seiden was optimistic too, claiming, “I hope the incident will get more blacks interested in BSU. If this occurs I believe that the leadership will come close to acting in accordance with the majority opinion.” mm S.A. and The Brazilian Club present - Dance away February!!

Sub Board Treasurer Lalonde defends his awarding of bonuses Sub Board Treasurer Arthur Lalonde has said he “bears the burden” for giving certain Sub Board Division Directors and bonuses at workers $20-40 Christmastime, in addition to their regular stipends. Lalonde said his “rare act of semi-generosity” arose from his opinion that the individuals who received the monies had done a “markedly better job” than their predecessors in their respective positions. “I wanted the individuals to know Sub Board had taken note of their excellent efforts and wanted to thank them,” he said. “Anyone who says that different people, appointed to the same position, do an equally good job is either a' liar or a fool.” Lalonde declined to name the 7-10 individuals who received the Union University but cash, Activities Board Division Director Jeff Lessoff acknowledged that he had been among them. Lessoff said he returned the money because, he “felt guilty,” but does feel he deserved it. Doing better job Lalonde pointed out that many of Sub Board’s Division Directors and employees handle $20-40 thousand dollar budgets, for areas Dance to ranging from Publications. He feels that if someone knows they are receiving the same money while doing a better job than their predecessor that they may be bitter about it. He did not wish to reward them publically, however, because he feared other Sub Board employees who were not would be upset. He explained that many did President Ketter returns from prosperous study leave by Danny Parker that know President Robert Ketter was away on a sabbatical, or “study leave,” last semester. Very few people know what he did. In an interview in his office Tuesday, Ketter gave the details of a “prosperous” trip which he said included travel, research, and completion of a textbook in his field of Civil Engineering. Most people do not realize that Ketter still had full responsibility as University president and that he could step back in at x any moment if the situation warrented his intervention. Executive Vice President Albert Somit Was Acting President in Ketter’s absence, and was responsible for everyday implementation of administration policies. Ketter met with Somit four or five times during his absence, and maintained constant contact with the University by receiving The Spectrum and The Reporter by mail.

According to Ketter, major relief from the job came from being away from the “intensity.” Ketter enjoyed his study leave because “it allowed me to get back into my discipline, which is most important. 1 believe that every administrator should have a discipline in addition to their management and administrative responsibilities.” In the past, Ketter has taught one course a year, but this year did not because of his leave. Robert Ketter Every five years, the University President is eligible to seek a leave, on study from the Board of Trustees and recommendation of the College Council. Ketter was scheduled for his first study leave two years ago, but was needed here to handle such important matters as the budget cutbacks. This past semester, Ketter’s six month study leave was approved provided he maintained certain responsibilities. He was to be responsible for defending the budget, being chairman of the Executive Committee of the University of Buffalo Foundation, and in charge of dealing with any construction problems at the Amherst Campus.

Gilbert in the history . of the NFG President Louis Reif termed them “a slight improvement.” Responding to critics who felt NFG was makjpg “windfall profits,” and thought it inappropriate that the company was doing so well given the disastrous impact the gas shortage has had on Buffalo, Reif declared that despite the profit gains, the company in the first quarter of this year would be forced to absorb “windfall losses.” He gave no rreasoning. In November, when informed that the state’s utility regulation agency , had granted only two percent of a requested 11 percent increase in gas rates, Reif said the decision was “disasterous” for the company’s ability to “provide energy for Western New York.” company, Contributing Editor On January 27, National Fuel Gas (NFG) reported its profits for the fourth quarter of 1976—reflecting its performance during the important first months of this unusually bitter winter. Net income (profits) were up 90 percent from the same quarter in 1975-almost doubling to $10.1 million. Earnings per common share were up 77 percent, on revenues that were 48 percent about 1975-NFG took in more than $155 million in the three months ending December 30. have Industry analysts predicted even greater earnings for NFG this quarter, due to a winter intensifying in cold (January was far colder than December) and to an ongoing employee strike that Aberation’s soar NFG’s sudden success is far will curtail expenditures (labor costs), but will leave , revenue from at\ local aberation—utilities unaffected (gas bills must still be nationwide are doing well, and gas companies especially, though both paid in full). Though fourth quarter and electric and telephone companies total 1976 profits were both the have little about which to complain. AT&T recently recorded a historic profit level-its first billion dollar year. Two of the nation’s largest gas Pacific Gas and companies, Electric, and Oklahoma Natural Gas both registered profit improvements of more than 60 percent over the course of 1976. Oklahoma profits over five years (since 1970) had increased only 33 percent. The explanation for these startling changes lies in the relation between a gas company’s expenses and its revenue. As with most economic institutions, initial fixed costs are very high and remain the same or increase only slowly whether one cubic foot of natural gas is pumped, or several billion. With greater and greater volume achieved, profit margins soar. Shortage is more pumped A main reason for the excellent performance of gas companies in shortage stricken areas is the rate structure which charges small (home and small business) users more than large users-such industry as steel and auto here in Buffalo, according to The New York Times, A shortage is created, the Times explains, not because far less gas is produced, but because a cold winter causes greater homeowner demand for more gas than is (the industry claims) available in gas reserves. National Fuel in Buffalo, therefore, ends up pumping more gas than ever and must sell to home users as first priority. There is little left for industry in such a situation, but it doesn’t matter, says the Times article-the gas company gets paid much more per cubic foot ($2.03; industry pays $1,56), thereby, achieving vpjy, large profit margins on sales volumes fhat are also larger than normal. NFG had no comment when asked if, in fact, its residential customers are more profitable than its industrial customers. However, last year NFG asked the Public Service Commission for permission supply to 3000 additional home users—evidence that it does not consider home gas heating unprofitable. The request was granted. Higher and higher Gas shortage linked with suspected price conspiracy by R.

The suit had been the result of a Federal Trade Commission investigation into charges by Senator Phillip Hart that gas were producers withholding to obtain, information on higher rates.

This part deals with the AMA and the drug industry. by Jay Rosen Spectrum Staff Writer Physicians in this country annually write over $100 million worth of drug prescriptions. Americans have, become increasingly dependent on drugs as both medicinal and emotional crutches. Doctors can choose from over 1200 different vigorously promoted compounds, many of which have never been adequately tested. Inexorably, the paths of the American Medical Association (AMA) and the drug industry have crossed. The AMA owns some $28 million worth of drug company stock. In turn, the Drug Industry provides $9 million,,, about 25 percent of annual AMA revenues. Drug industry involvement in medical profession began early. Forceful sellers, known as “detail men,” provided textbooks, slide rules, stethoscopes, and even black leather bags to medical students. Later on, drug company the salesmen entertained doctors and their wives, provided free samples of drugs, and possibly left golf balls complimentary embossed with their companies’ names. Using lists that are bought from the AMA, drug companies bombard physicians with Over 3600 pieces of mail a year per doctor. The industry spends over $25 million in direct mail advertising to persuade doctors to prescribe their drugs. With, annual sales of over $11 billion the industry has grown to mammoth though and proportions competition is at times keen, it has nbt sliced into profits. A Federal Trade Commission (FTC) reports the drug industry is the most in industry profitable ranking ahead of computers, of automobiles and of petroleum. America, “Losses . unheard of” William Mueller, economist for the FTC, testified to a 1968 Senate committee, “Losses, or even low profits, are practically unheard of among large drug companies. In this respect the drug industry is practically unique important among American industries.” .. STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK' in cooperation with the Department of Education and Culture of the Jewish Agency ANNOUNCES: 1977 ELEVENTH SUMMER ACADEMIC PROGRAM IN ISRAEL 6 to 10 College Credits For information write to: DIRECTOR SUNY ISRAEL SUMMER PROGRAM State Univ. College Oneonta, IM.Y. 13820 (607)431-3709 Advertising of drug prices is illegal in most states. Hence, prices for a particular compound often differ widely.. Adding’to the confusion are the brand names companies give to their drugs. An identical compound may go by several names, only one of which is its generic (official) name. New York City once bought 1000 capsules drug of the diphenhydramine for $3. On another occasion, it purchased the same quantity of the drug, from the same company under the brand name of Benadryl for $15.63. Many consumer groups have appealed for standardization of names and prices. The AMA has resisted. Why? Because the battle of brand names is waged in the AMA Journal every month. This translates into millions of dollars of advertising revenue for the Association. Charles May, AM A critic said, “I find the AMA’s acceptance of pharmaceutical advertising in their journal very strange a arrangement. It is as if the Supreme Court had a journal and accepted advertising from those their cases before presenting them.” Drug advertising in the Journal has had a sordid history. In the March 5, 1960 issue, there appeared an article documenting 36 case&. in which girls were born so masculinized that they could have been reared as boys. Their mothers had been treated with a synthetic hormone to reduce the risk of spontaneous abortion. In the same issue, the AMA ran ads for the drug,-iacking a single word of warning ?boUt possible.bawpftiI ffeffects. T?3 ■ Robert Seidenburg of SC NY commented that, “even Good Housekeeping and Parents magazine do a better job in protecting their readership. Is the AMA guilty of drug abuse?” Apparently so. Numerous drugs have appeared in the pages of the AMA advertisements subsequently to be taken off the market because of harmful effects. Yet physicians receive most of their information about company from drugs representatives and industry literature. Harry F. Dowling, former member of the AMA council on drugs has analyzed why doctors subscribe to untested drugs: “Doctors are restive under inaction; to them inaction spells defeat. But while as men of action we know that we must often act in, we before all the evidence c&n all remember times when action taken too soon has led to catastrophe.” The AMA has not helped to reduce the chances of such catastrophe. In 1929, the AMA’s council on drugs adopted a “seal of acceptance.” No drug could be advertised which had not been evaluated by the council and found acceptable. Doctors relied heavily on the seal, and on “Useful Drugs,” a handbook of objective drug information. The drug industry was less than enthusiastic about the seal and the handbook. It began putting pressure on the AMA to pursue a “more reasonable” policy. They offered stepped-up advertising in exchange for a number of “policy changes.” The AMA relented. Changes included abolishment of the seal of acceptance and abandoning the publication “Useful Drugs.” Instead, the drug industry would publish and distribute to doctors its own index to prescriptions, called the Physicians Desk Reference. All material in the guide prepared, edited, approved and paid for by the drug manufacturers. The situation continued until the 1960’s. The AMA’s image was and badly tarnished, its membership began dropping. The decided to Association do something.

The present Student Association is a collection of self-serving students with special interests that run contrary to the interests of the student body.

SA can be a representative and respected body through effective use of an executive of comprised committee, knowledgeable people from different walks of University life, who work well together and who's efforts compliment each other. SA cannot be effective if its leaders are antagonistic towards the administration just for the sake of being antagonistic: this will cause an impass and a do-nothing student government. Instead, SA must maintain a working relationship with the administration, and firm determined, in order to protect the rights of students and to actively represent students in University-wide policy-making, as well as in decisions by the faculty and the administration. This is especially necessary in this year of upcoming academic decisions and transition. SA can be made less bureaucratic by increasing the flow of information. ' 3. If the administration were to withhold space on the Amherst Campus, I would immediately negotiate proper with the authorities for this vital student activity area. Other steps to be concurrently undertaken would independent be an Student Association investigation and a well planned public relations campaign. Naturally the first step would be to push for the utilization of extra space wherever available. This question, though, is a hypothetical one next summer the new Talbert-CapenNorton complex will open, this same new student union area that contains Ipss than one-third the square footage of the present Norton Union. I plan to use my .experience in pushing for the construction of the Amherst Gym in pressuring the administration in Albany to complete the student union, namely the construction of JBO and JB1. I will publicly telegram the Governor asking for an appointment in Albany to speak to this matter. I will invite other important student leaders on campus to accompany me, for example, the Editor-in-Chief of The Spectrum and the Director of CAC. This is long range planning for the future of student activities. This must be done this not Community it must show productivity and effectiveness.

SA this year has been the epitome of wishy-washiness. Its leadership has shied away from controversy rather than meeting it with force and dealing with the issues. Communications have been lax as well. The BSU-SA incident was a direct result of these breakdowns; it could have T»een prevented with respect and a will to communicate. This last year, SA has been bogged down with indecision and inactivity, and students are the ones who have suffered. SA must now stand up and take issue with the problems at hand, and I think the Insight party is the best equipped to do this. The problems with SA have little to do with its structure it is the people who run the organization who bring it to two people are stagnation (n.b. re-election, for one is running “stepping up"!). The SA has been run in the usual unimaginative fashion, and for it to earn the University the respect of 2. - — through the receptionists and 'secretaries in the office.

In the past year decisions made by the elected representatives of the student body give the impression they were elected by the University administration (Dr. Ketter). Whatever measure of success (if any) which can be attributed to the SA cannot balance its failure to adhere to the mandate of the student body. Therefore, to speak of successes most and failures of SA administration is essentially an exercise futility. The Constitution and Book Rules of the Student of Association are sufficient to deal equitably, in terms of an adequate mechanism to insure student rights. The problem exists in the desire and/or ability of those elected or appointed to represent the best interests of their constituency, the specifically, undergraduate student body of this University. Common sense dictates that in order to function at peak efficiency each elected official must be proficient in their knowledge of the SA constitution and Bookpf Rules and the needs of the students. In addition, they should be at least conversant in a wide range of related areas. In the group events that any or individual elected officials choose to adhere to the basic tenets of the Constitution, the interest of all the students will undoubtedly be served. The bureaucratic excesses of organization are any political based more in ineptitude than in the character of politics. When the character of the process is quantitative then excesses occur. In order to decrease bureaucracv the most feasible approach is to improve the quality of services and provide for meaningful input from the student body. In most cases bureaucratic excesses are a direct result of an inefficient 2. operation. 3. Initially, I would determine what created the situation, whether it was oversight or intent. In the case of an oversight generally, a mutually beneficial alternative can be developed. In instances of fntentional neglect other measures must be taken which -include analyzing the availability of space, alternative locations and as a measure of last resort pressure in the form of petitions, demonstrations, etc... . — out.

This administration has been characterized by lack of direction and by the inability to reach clear decisions or defined policy, therefore I cannot think of any distinct successes of the present administration.

As reaching beyond the for bureaucracy and dealing with the student populace directly, I would attempt to institute various forums in the union, the colleges and in the dorms, that campus issues could be discussed with interested students and members of student government. The key is SA reaching out early, and it is my contention that the majority of the problems that have faced the Student Association this year would not have come to pass if this had been done. Should conflicts arise opposing between individuals and/or organizations, I would meet with those involved to try to Scott. Miller 1.

These groups, in turn, would be responsible for researching and developing plans of action in their various areas and bring them back to the senate for implementation. Attempts were made to do this this year, but they never got beyond the initial steps. The Vice President would need to be forceful in making this process work, and this would be my goal. In these contexts the vice presidential role would be expressive, but ultimately I would feel it the responsibility of those involved in the senate to carry out these roles, both imaginatively Secondly, and skillfully. 1. I believe it is the role of the Student Senate to become aware of the problems that plague student life on campus, and take the initiative to create and act upon legislation to deal with them. Unfortunately in recent years the Senate has become lackadaisical in its approach to its has remained duties, and ineffective. As Vice President, a beginning step to make the Senate more effective would be to make Operations its and Rules Committee, the committee* designated to provide the Senate agenda, an "actual" functioning group, and use it as a steering the Senate. for attempt would at I to provide various times informational workshops for the senators and interested students on the operations of the University.

I believe that parliamentary procedures should be used for keeping order in the meetings, not to hinder the flow of discussion and ideas. Also, agendas should be sent out before the senate meetings to give Senators and officers the chance to investigate the issues and then get student input on them. At present, in order to have legislation voted on in the Senate, it must first go through the Operations and Rules Committee. This past year, the Operations and Rules Committee met infrequently and when it did meet, it was two or three days before the Senate meeting. Because of this, many pieces of legislation were put off that did has abused procedures The Executive Vice President is responsible for chairing many of the more sensitive meetings held between student groups.

This year Sub Board discontinued a $10,000 minority concert line in the UUAB concert committee budget. Would you favor the reinstatement of the minority concert line this year? campus. We must demand that the Administration provide us with facilities that are at least comparable with those of the Main Street Campus. Sub-Board must continually publicize its the students services so realize what they are getting for their money. The Board of Directors should make sure that Sub-Board runs as efficiently as possible. This year I have been responsible for the reorganization of UUAB (the largest division of Sub-Board) resulting in greater efficiency of operation. Every dollar spent in Sub-Board must be spent wisely. In the past year I have been extremely disatisfied with the work output of the regular Board of Directors. The committee of executive Sub-Board has done most of the work. This can not continue. 3. it has been said that the professional employees in Sub Board decision-making often take the initiative away from the students. Do you agree or disagree, and why?

By uniting the efforts and resources of the many campus student governments into one organization, the best services and activities possible can be planned and implemented. Within the organization itself, the Board of Directors must guide the various divisions toward providing possible the best services and activities, and make them easily accessible to the student body. The board must establish policy guidelines and see Ur their enforcement, serving as a safeguard to student interests. out interested and Seeking talented individuals to serve in the divisions should also be a priority of the Board of Directors. The minority concert line, as was entity, separate a discontinued in this year's UUAB 2. budget, not to deprive minority would handle the administrative functions connected with such events. Due to a lack of both communication and patience, this proposal was never given a chance to work. Hopefully, cooler heads will prevail and needless troubles will be avoided in '77-'78. It should also be stressed that the UUAB committee process, where concerts and films for all are planned, is always open to suggestions by anyone on campus. Individuals or groups interested in planning concerts or films should feel free to join in the process, with the attitude that they can make a difference. In any student organization with professional employees, the question of control becomes important. Sub Board I is a student corporation, formed by students to serve student needs. Its activities and services are paid exclusively by students through mandatory fees. As such, students must have total control of the corporation and,its functions. Professional employees, with experience and expertise in their fields, serve as employees of the corporation, helping to guide students in providing the best possible activities and services. However, at all times it must be remembered that the final authority within the corporation rests not with the professional employees, and not with the executive director, but with students who serve as the Board of Directors. It is their responsibility to see that students maintain control of the Sub Board decision-making process. Jeff Lessoff Sib-Board I is a student 1. funded not-for-profit organization to designed provide comprehensive services, including concerts, films, coffeehouses/ health care, publications and legal services to all students.

This is an absolute necessity. UUAB must continue to strive for excellent programming. The new $.75 price for films should also continue. The Group Legal Services program must expand its legal seminars and make them refevant to a greater number of students. I would also like to see the growth of an alternative publication to The Spectrum which would provide a different view of must campus life. Sub-Board never be content with what it has done. It must constantly watch to assure that students' needs are always being met. As Division Director of 2. UUAB, this issue is one of great importance to me.

In the-general case, students can do very little to prevent the administration from viewing such documents. What in fact should happen is the reverse. Students should demand to see administration operation. For example, how many students have seen the latest Faculty Student (FSA) Association income statement? In fact, the income on that statement is a result of our student money pumped into areas such as the Ellicott Pub. I advocate complete openness of student financial records so both students and administration can fully be aware that -the administration will have to go elsewhere to demean the well placed student effort. In addition, I call for the same openness of the Records. Students University should have access to the same knowledge that the administration demands. undue amounts of paperwork. 2.

In general, poor accounting cash advances is not a .widespread problem. The current policy of $7.50 a day for meals ($1.50 breakfast; $2.00 lunch and $4.00 dinner) with $.10/mile mileage and open-ended figures for lodging is a fair allocation. The guidelines are reasonably specific on this issue with the provision that the cash advance for trips is money to be spent on expenses directly incurred for the travel (i.e., meals, travel and lodging). In the event that this misuse and poor accounting does become a significant problem, there are several effective ways to handle the situation. First, is simply not to issue advances but rather work it on a reimbursement basis. Secondly, would be a method whereby the major expenses of the trip (lodging and meals) be pre-arranged by the Treasurer's office. A third and much harder view would be to deny travel to those individuals or clubs that consistently problem offer situations. I would use this only as a last resort. These ideas are supported by Aurora as a definite means of responsibility and accountability to the student community and we will do what needs to be done in to maintain the order responsibility in our organization. of believe this action would bring SA and the clubs together; this would eliminate the administrative scrutiny suffered in the past. 3. Concerning the Mandatory Fees, I hope that clubs will realize when submitting a budget that the fees are coming in at a slower pace and enrollment has been curtailed considerably. With the possibility of cuts very strong, I will cut all budgets across the board at the same percentage. I feel this is the only fair procedure. Director for Student Affairs 1.

There is no reason for me to run activities since the Director of Student Activities and Services (whose job it is to run activities during the school year) is paid to remain in Buffalo for orientation. throughout My function orientation should be to ORIENT the students and to make their brief stay in Buffalo during the and pleasant as summer, educational as possible. When freshmen come to school in the fall they are completely lost and they do hot know what they are supposed to do. The most important part of orientation is to explain this. Therefore I am going to write a booklet to hand out during orientation which will give a day by day account on what a student has to do during his first when he few weeks in school should pick up his ID card, where to get his schedule changed, etc. Another problem with orientation is its physical makeup. Freshmen are treated like cattle and as a the member of Orientation (which Committee runs orientation) I will attempt to revamp the orientation schedule. One more point that must be made clear is that orientation is not just for freshmen. Transfer students also come to orientation and particular care must be made to assist them in their distinct problems. One way to accomplish this is to have the orientation aides specially trained to deal with the diverse academic problems that transfer students incur. The only way to help students to the become accustomed University campuses is to relieve the problems that the campus The diversity causes. most common problem of this type is the bus service. The main cause of our poor service is lack of money for more buses but to fight for increased funding will only hurt the students by taking needed from another line, revenue probably academics. What is required here is a better bus schedule and I have therefore created a program with the department of Environmental will be intensified in the fall duff'to the opening of new buildings (Union and Lockwood Library). We must not forget the commuter students who will be affected most by this situation. A policy that the administration must accept is the return to campus tickets so that students who want to protest their fine will not have to go downtown to a Buffalo civil court and miss school. Dr. Lorenzetti, Assistant Vice President of Student Affairs has agreed with me to set up a committee to examine this campus Paul Glauber 1. As I understand the! Sunshine Law, 'it states that all meetings such as the College Council, etc. are to be open to students and well publicized in advance as to the time and location of such meetings. As Directcr of Student Affairs, would stive to bring the dates I and times of such meetings to the attention of the general student body. I plan to do this well in advance of the meetings in order give interested students a to rearrange chance to their schedules and plan on attending. Since the Sunshine Law is already in effect, I can see no legal problem in getting the concerned groups to comply with it. We must make them comply in spirit as well as in law. 2. I have a few new ideas about summer and fall orientation. The first change I would , like to institute concerns the Activities and Services workshop in the summer orientation program. If possible, a room could be obtained in Ellicott to set up a permanent area for the Activities and Services workshop. This would allow us to enhance the workshop by having a room with permanent displays that would be more informative and more comprehensive than the present method. In the past, the Activities and Services workshop consisted of a group of speakers using a blackboard present to their material. A change in the SA orientation handbook also seems to be in order at this time. If the handbook is expanded, it can cover many other topics that are presented along with it,. This would cut down pn the eftfount of extra flyers handed out and also give the new student a more comprehensive guide that he or she can save for future reference. When school reopens in the fall, I would like to set up information booths at both the Main Street and North campuses. These booths would be staffed by SA people who would be there to answer any questions the students might have. These would probably be open the first three days of school. The next item would be an Activities Fair. This would occur about the fifth and sixth days of school. This would be a centrally located area with representatives of all the major University organizations. This would not only aid the activities in their recruiting drives, but more importantly, it would expose the new student to the full range of activities and services available and enable him or her to obtain information about these activities held in the open. Public notice in advance must be given, and any action held in violation of this law by a judge can be found void in part or whole.

Election Supplement �process a process in which the students participate. — Summer and Fall orientation will have a wider concern next year if the Studeht Union moves out to the Amherst Campus. Not only will Freshman and Transfer students have to {earn the campus layout, but also will the presently enrolled U.B. students who so far have not had classes in the Academic Spine. It will be important to hand out Fall calendars which will include 2) of $16,000. That is $2,750 more than the total SA Activities Budget. This amounts to SA giving the wrestling team $10 for each spectator that attends a wrestling match. This is a gross misrepresentation of student fees\\\ Money can be trimmed so as to save funds that can be allocated for other forms of student athletics, such as the reinstatement of the track and fencing teams back to the varsity level. upcoming Lori Pasternak 1 1) With our new freedom to attend all meetings that pertain to our education, it is very important to make these meetings well publicized and easily accessible to all of us. The times of these meetings should be listed in The Spectrum and on signs throughout U.B. We as students must be to in encouraged participate decisions that involves our lives at this University. We have more influence than we take advantage of. Being well informed and organized is the key to developing a new role in the decision making activities, important dates and phone numbers to remember, and most importantly a map of the campuses. Outdoor, activities are well received and should be planned around the new Student Union to help everyone get used to the new facilities. Orientation naturally encompasses more than activities, and I think that a workshop dealing with all aspects of the University should be set up in an easily accessible area. Representatives from various branches of the University would be seated at tables, ready to answer any questions. A similar situation would be set up to introduce students to- the many clubs available to them. Students should know and take advantage of the multitude of activities and services here at U.B. Director for Student Activities What plans do you have to make the new student union on the Amherst Campus as vibrant and as popular as Norton Hall has been over 1. the years? 2. What role should athletics play at this University and in the SA budget? Ping-pong rooms, a crafts lounge and a T.V. Room. The atmosphere of the Union should be a relaxed one. The P.A. system can be used in conjunction with the campus radio station to broadcast daily music and SA news. If the new Union is made to be as appealing as possible by means of the Activities and Services it offers, then the trend of student involvement should be upward, thus making the new Union as successful, if not more successful, than the old Union. Pat Lovejoy 1. Although the new student union complex does not have as activity spaces as the many present union building has, these spaces have more potential uses. The Amherst Campus, with its modern, artistic design, brings to mind many ipnovative ideas that would make use of both the structure's small meeting rooms and its expansive cafeterias. I would hope to hold small beer parties with recorded music in the late afternoons once or twice a week. These would tal<e place in the meeting/dining room rear near Norton Hall's Rathskellar-like facility. Provided the first floor of the Capen Library is not used by the library, as is rumored, this space would be ideal for demonstrations and workshops on subjects of interest to students in general, such as relaxation or self-hypnosis, and on more topical subjects, such as juggling or quitting smoking. If this area is available, not the Tablert cafeteria, although not quite as comfortable, is a suitable substitute. The new Conference Theater should be utilized often, presenting unusual performers and acts. I would try to promote the Theater to make it a major touring stop for mimists, dancers, magicians, mind readers, poets. even sword swallowers and fire eaters. I would encourage UUAB's video committee (Act V) to use the main lounge of the complex as a showcase of their talents in the TV world. In addition to these programs, many existing ones would be continued, including coffeehouses, folk and square dances, beer blasts, and concerts. Now, more than ever, emphasis should be on small intimate gatherings encourage that interaction among students. As the University expands, students will find it increasingly difficult to maintain an identity. It is the job of student government to provide each student with social and recreational activities that will fulfill his/her needs as an individual. The great lack of large multipurpose rooms within the complex already sets the pace for this most formidable task. .. 2. Phil Dinhoffer 1. During the initial transition period back to the Amherst Campus, it is going to be the responsibility of the Director of Activities and Services to be sure of adequate activities planning. It will be necessary to publicize the benefits of the new Union, what is going on, where it is happening, etc. I will solicit a great deal of student participation in the new Union. If the students take an initial charge in the opening of the Union it can then be made be my successful. It will responsibility to be sure that there are adequate recreational facilities like a pinball lounge. Pool & Election Supplement Athletics should play a key role in this University. It is well known that a great wave of student apathy exists. Through athletics, we can generate a sense of pride within the University that will greatly boost morale. A referendum was passed by us to bring back football. What has been done about this? If we bring back football, a rise in student spectator participation, which wiM lead to a rise in student morale, is a will occur. Budget-wise great need for a reassessment of team expenditures. Each team should have a student business manager who will control all expenditures. In the past, I have witnessed a misuse of athletic funds during road trips. Fancy steak dinners are unnecessary. An astute business manager will help to save funds. Secondly, the wrestling team maintains a budget ’ 2. Athletics is a vital part of life and should always remain so. It can, and should, bring excitement and enthusiasm to the, students here. At the present time, attempts are being made by the members of the Students for the Future of Athletics (SFA) and the very capable administrative personnel in Clark Hall to bolster the image of our athletic program and to encourage more participation in it, either as a competitor or as a member of the cheering section. University organizations such as the Alumni Association and the UB Foundation should give as much aid as possible to the intercollegiate teams so that they can continue to represent UB throughout the Northeastern United States for many years. campus The intramural program is a necessary part of student recreational services. It sorely needs to be expanded, in order to accommodate the many students who wish, to participate in it each year. The funds needed to do this can only be provided by SA, in the form of an increase in that section of the annual athletic budget. As with any SA program, when the past has shown improvement and increased usage and one finds it necessary to expand, the funds required are found somewhere in the SA budget. I feel expansion is necessary and desireable and that the funds can be found. students such as all the club and student organizations as well, as some new services that I would like to see introduced. A banking service that is equipped to process telephone, electric, and gas bills, a student grievance office, where a student can come with a problem and see it justified, a student employment office and a financial aid office that is finally in our union. Instead of a bowling alley, and that terrible television-reading room, let us have a Cinema Center 1000—1500 that could seat people and can be partitioned off into three or four separate halls to hold various events at the same time, movies, theatre, speakers, or when a very popular event occurs, can be opened up to accomodate a large crowd. The Rathskellar should have music piped in (we do have our own radio station), with small round tables and moveable chairs so that coffeehouses and other nightclub events can be held at night as well as containing liquor and music to go to after attending a student promoted activity; incidentally the Rat should not be styled like a cafeteria. A comfortable lounge should be available with couches and pillows and piped-tn music for students to hang out in and relax from the pressures of the day. On the' same floor could be a coffee shop with good food (not Food grub) Service and nice atmosphere. In the same building there should be a mellow reading room 'with comfortable surroundings, music rooms for private listening, T.V. rooms and an amusement center with all electronic ,r games that should game Contain a room for backgammon, chess, cards and other board games. So the _oew union should be made for the students and everything in it should deal with the students, in a nice way. 2. Devon Weiner 1. The major reason for the popularity of Norton Union is that it ogives the students a place where they can go to on campus, during a break from classes and socialize with other students. It is a place to meet and hang out with your friends, as well as an office building that houses, all student essence, activities. as In convenient as the union is, I feel we, the students, are being cheated. Do we really need a bowling alley in our union? The union should be The Center of Student Activities. When the union on the Amherst campus is complete and the eventual shift to that campus takes place, the union should not be built like to Norton, according 1900 standards; instead it should be for the student of the pre- and post-2000's. I would like to see the union be the place where the students can get together, enjoy themselves and get involved with the services it provides for them,. The new, union for our futuristic campus should offer a warm, comfortable relaxed atmosphere. It should contain all offices that pertain to the Athletics play a large role at this university and that should continue. However there are programs that should be enlarged to fully accomodate all the students at our university. The present program Tor intramural sports is in desperate need of* more money. This program should be increased, and would be my first concern. As far as varsity sports go, attendance at our varsity team events is low and apathy is high, this must change if we are to introduce football into our varsity sports program. If football never comes back to Buffalo then- we should let that money be allocated toward developing more intramural programs and tlub sports and to improve the existing ones. The varsity fencing team and the wrestling teams should be a thing of the past, and be replaced with a men's track and field team. If the money must come from the S.A. budget for athletics, then all students must be treated fairly, and noi allow one program to absorb money that it does not deserve, due to the percent of students that are involved with the program. Any allocation of money that improve the athfetic would program here would be welcomed with open arms. New facilities are needed for the Amherst Campus and should accomodate the growing interest and participation with athletics at this University. Monday, 28 February 1977 . The Spectrum .

There's little or no personal contact between professors and students, therefore there's little or no interaction in University the classes. This employs some excellent professors but they are limited by classroom sizes dnd facilities offered. Perhaps the lack of interaction is the fault of the professors and the students. The students in this University need to speak out for their rights, and I, working with or her classwork, study and meet other obligations. If we take four courses, we have more time to acquire a greater and more thorough knowledge of each subject; individual further study and projects, the Faculty-Senate stated their desire to retain the four-course load, as it now stands, through the 1977-1978 academic year. During that time the Faculty-Senate will evaluate all courses not on the credit/contact hour system. intend to defend the I four-course load. I will contact SUNY Binghamton, which has a four-course load and is attempting to justify their system, rather than running scared. As director of I Academic Affairs would mobilize and coordinate all involved parties (students, faculty, etc.) to take a united stand on all issues which affect our education. 1. I am in favor of the four-course load because it was instituted for the benefit of the students in this University and I feel that the Administration should evaluate its decision over the possible incoming change. The faculty Senate's response to the Dearing Memorandum was to extend classes to 65 minutes on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and to 100 minutes on Tuesday, Thursday in the coming years. The only way that the classes would be allowed to come back to the original schedule that we have now is if the classes were justified. I feel that this decision is inadequate it limits the amount of classes a student might take per semester due to probable conflict of time between classes. This decision also limits the amount of courses this University schedules per day. I will try to make a decision that I feel that the majority of students on this campus are in favor of and in order to know what they want, I'll try to get them more involved in the Academic task force of this University. 2. Ji feel that the undergraduate education in this University is insufficient due to the lack of professors and overcrowded classrooms. This University is set up on a formal-basis; we are only known to the professors as Page twelve . libraries continue to remain out of materials or are understocked, with library hours constantly being cut back.

The colleges in this University were formed in order to provide students with an academic environment in their selected professions. Due to lack of facilities and interest this idea was never fully accomplished. Some colleges do meet their goal but only for a select group of people. I feel that in order to achieve a successful learning environment for all concerned, both the colleges' students and administrators should get together and discuss problems facing‘them, For these attacks the S.A. and most of all, learn to office of Academic Affairs has left compromise.

What we lack at present is a vociferous demand from the students across the state. Legislators are intensely aware of the immensity of the student population. Unfortunately, I feel the students are not aware of the bargaining power we ultimately have.

The more input we get, the more guaranteed output the students will get. Besides involving U.B. in more SASU activity, we will make our primary concern education. This involves fighting for more TAP awards, not to mention one of the most controversial issues, the four-credit course load. My running mates and I will hold set office hours where students can reach one of us any time of the day. This point may sound petty, but it is instrumental for more student involvement. I will also assure you that every student, this coming year, will be made aware of a special program available to every student at U.S., namely, “Purchase Power," a discount card that enables the students to buy everything from automobiles to meager items, at fantastic Every student is reductions. entitled to this, since every student is a member of SASU.

So, what do I consider priorities? Education, and more studeijt involvement, bringing SASU to the UB students like it's never been donebefore. interest. I think the biggest task we face presently is abolishing the reality of SASU and the assembly as elitist groups. This can be accomplished the SASU by delegates becoming more active within their own student populations. Another idea is to have on the back of every SASU school student's I.D. card a statement indicating he is a member of SASU and entitled to the benefits of block booking and power. We need innovation on a mass communicative scale in order to increase student input so that SASU can be !a collectively effective political body. Most importantly we must keep in mind how necessary it is for SASU delegates to be responsive to the immediate needs of their campuses and surrounding communities. Not only is this purchase imperative for the goals realized •by minority students and women, but also for the success of the surrounding economic community, which is relative to the quality of the school, particularly here at the University of Buffalo.

SASU as a political organization has enormous potential power, however this power will never be realized as long as SASU remains in elitist organization. SASU is an organization for the elitist SASU following reasons; 1 represent truly cannot the students of the state of New York unless the CUNY (City University of New York) students and the community college students are allowed to be represented in it; 2 SASU is a bureaucratic mess, unable to effectively fight the governor and the Legislature, because of the infighting among the delegates.

SASU is the \~ too far removed from the students. The very fact that many students don't even know what SASU stands for is a good indication that the past SASU representatives haven't been doing a good job. This doesn't have to be! SASU delegates should concentrate on publicizing SASU services such as "Purchase Power" which provides discounts on many items that a SASU might buy. student delegates should expand voter registration into a year-round service in order that students will be able to exert more pressure on the state legislature to comply with students' wishes and needs. Another way of bringing SASU to the students is by bringing concerts to this campus by getting discounts through the SASU book-blocking service. The SASU should be newspaper Update circulated on campus in order to inform students of the many important issues which directly affect them. There are certain crucial issues affecting students which SASU must deal with if they are to be considered a worthwhile organization. Financial aid has been cut. With the present inflation that we are all experiencing, students cannot afford any cuts in financial aid. SASU must lobby for increased financial aid to individual students, as well as increased funding to SUNY/B so that construction may be completed on the North Campus. SASU must also protect the four credit per course system in our school. A change in our present credit undoubtedly system would interfere with many students' graduation, which no student can afford. SASU must also work to set guidelines restricting the administration's interference with our mandatory student fees. This is our money, which should be spent as we wish. Among other things, SASU should work to have classes cancelled on important Jewish holidays; to have a law passed which doesn't require students to pay sales tax on textbooks; to have the state provide financial aid based on a cost-of-living escalator; to get a student vote on both the College Council and SUNY Board of Trustees. must SASU become an organization of action, dedicated to helping fight students effectively against anything which might threaten our education, such as financial aid cuts. If SASU can be effective in this fight, then it will have realized its goals for success. I am confident that I can be an important factor in bringing SASU and the students such a success. Joyce Levin The College Council has a very clear and precise meaning at this University. A host of prominent people in the Buffalo community, the president of the University and a non-voting student member make up the council. The council makes to recommendations the University President about policies concerning the University. The Council is an important liasion between the University and the Community. An important job of the Council is to recommend potential candidates to the SUNY Board of Trustees for the job of President of this University.’ The College Council has a great potential for being the well informed "grandparent" of the University, but as I see it they the actively contribute in functioning of the University. Most of the people on the Council actively contribute to the University Foundation. One action I would like to see is a redistribution of these monies to insure that they are being used to their greatest potential For the students' voice to be felt as well as heard, there must be a mutual respect between the Council and the student member. Effectiveness is the key for which the student member should strive. The student member should receive complete minutes for meetings of all the student governments so she can be up to date on problems that might arise. The members of the council should hold monthly meetings with all student government heads. I would insure that the Sunshine laws are complied with adequate make sure and announcement is given to the date, time and place of the meetings. The development of a personal, working relationship with individual members of the Council is a major goal, so contact can be attained for tangential problems. Glenn MacMillian The role of the College Council in this University is a multifaceted. It would be impossible in the space provided to, list all the facets, so I will only consider those which are the most important. First, the College Council is a committee that does take an active part in the affairs of this University. One of its primary functions is the review and interpretation of University policy many areas within the in University, including academic affairs, student affairs and services, as well as administrative decisions. The College Council also has a part in implementing decisions made in Albany by the state government as well as the Board of Trustees. The Council is also responsible for reviewing the budget. Recommendations made by the Council in any of these areas are carefully considered by the University administration and the Board of Trustees. The Council is also one of the primary liaisons between the University and the community, although at this time there seems to be little communication taking place. This communications breakdown, in my opinion, is one reason for the University losing its high priority status in the community. It is essential that the walls that have been built up between U.B. and surrounding communities be knocked down so that the University can once again become an integral part of the community of Buffalo. Since many Council' members are prominent in the Buffalo area, the Council has tfie potential to do this. The Student Representative's role on the Council is to see that the opinions and needs of the Monday, 28 February 1977 The Spectrum . Page thirteen �students at this University are heard as well as acted upon by the Council. It's harder than it sounds. The student representative's position on the Council is a non-voting one, making it easy for the students' voice to be hard, but hard for it to be felt. To ensure that the students' voice is felt, the student representative must tdo several starting with the things, rapport establishment of a the- student between representative and the Council. This can be achieved provided that the student representative shows a willingness to work with the council, and can represent the rationally, students' views realistically and efficiently. To be successful in that endeavor, the student representative must be willing to go out to the students and see how they feel on the issues. When I say the students, I mean the entire student body, undergraduate and graduate. The function of the student representative and the Councii is, as I see it, to ensure that our education is modern, complete and uncompromised. To reach this goal, we will all have to work together, and the College Council is the perfect place to start. one to believe that they* 25,000 students is, I contend, a delusion. Rather, the individual has the responsibility to serve the trust implicit in being elected. While the Sunshine Law somewhat reduces the burden of being sole student witness to the activities of the Counofl, my position is that the student member act as liaison between the all student Council and one way, can this governments. In person, begin to represent other students. At this juncture, it is appropriate to list the stated responsibilities of the student member: a. represent the students of SUNVAB to the College Council; b. a non-voting member of the Council and the executive committee of Council; c. full represent make regulations concerning student conduct, student housing and safety, and campus facilities; recommend d. review and SUNVAB budget requests; e. citizens' appoint advisory committees; f. name buildings and g. report annually to the Board of Trustees; h. perform any other duties requested by the Board of Trustees; i. make and establish regulations necessary to carry out the above duties. Certainly, such a Council is one that by its charge, contributes actively to the "goings-on" of the University.

Scholars willing to take a gamble on the University of Nevada at Las Vegas can expect to pay an extra $1200 annually unless they can prove that they are bona fide residents of the state, with the intent of making Nevada their “true, fixed, and permanent home and place of habitation.” However, they are warned that “temporary absences for more than one day must be explained” and that residency will not be granted if the applicant has been out of the state more than 10 days in any one year. Such fidelity would require a great love on the part of the prospective resident either for wager-making or for the “panorama of rugged eroded mountains, redrock and landscapes, sandstone forgotten ghost towns” that adorn the surrounding area, according to the university catalogue. Money altogether is not necessary to attend universities outside one’s state, though. In most cases, if the prospective transfer student is willing to maintain a’ residence in the state where he wishes to attend college, pay taxes there,.vote there, and otherwise bind himself to its bureaucratic web, he can usually be reclassified as a resident after 12 consecutive months within That evidence readily available seems to contradict the average oil company’s public disgust at high Arab oil prices. Many consumer critics declare that high cost foreign oil provides high oil company profits. They argue that given a set markup over costs for every gallon of gasoline delivered to the pumps, higher crude prices must lead to higher industry profits, in absolute terms. Also, the pressure of high prices for oil found outside the oil U.S. sends American exploration dollars abroad, even as the government attempts to develop domestic production. The result is on the pressure . . . government to raise the ceiling of, or deregulate entirely, the prices for U.S. crude. The majority of U.S. oil companies holdings still lie in domestic reserves, and it is a gargantuan increase in the price of the reserves that Ralph Nader and others say big oil is realty after. Blackmailing the government with a contrived crisis, they say, is the most effective lever to accomplish that goal. Other critics assert that even the government doesn’t care that much, that forces within it, those especially representing multinational-oil, in fact favor domestic oil price hikes and therefore approve of foreign oil price raises that will help bring them about. Support for this view was found in revelations by Jack Anderson last year concerning developments in U.S. foreign policy in the .Middle East. Saudi the sole virtually Arabia. proponent of price stabilization OPEC, was reportedly with the U.S.’s apparently ambiguous role in the East. to According Middle Anderson, the Saudi government secretly complained to President Ford that his Administration’s actiops seemed to encourage those OPEC members who wished to raise prices most, notablyi Iran. The Saudis noted that' Iran continues to receive the greatest amount of U.S. arms, and is in good diplomatic favor with the United States. The Saudis felt further that they had been snubbed whenever repeatedly asking the U.S. to put pressure on Iran to moderate its private demands. With conflicting assertions, based on little or clouded information, it is unclear what is -really going on or what motivates what is happening. At the very least, what can be confirmed does not bode well for the stability of the average American’s economic future. within disillusioned Jazz piano performance The Office of Cultural Affairs will present noted Jazz Pianist Mary Lou Williams in a performance and discussion Monday, February 28 at 8 p.m. in the Katherine Cornell Theatre.

Sportspaige by Paige Miller left with the frightening realization that Sports HJitor there might be no sports next year. But many varsity athletes, led by Jim Young, formed the Students for the Future of Athletics, and enough of them joined the Student Assembly to ensure passage of an adequate athletic budget.

This week, both these teams play for the title. Dziggertais leads the 3:00 division at 7-0. In the 4:00 division, Power Memorial (6-2) plays the Iron Specks (6-2) for the title. Power Memorial is led by Phil Marks and Jay Lutzky, while Bill Whelan leads the Specks. In the 5:00 division, Camp Tanglewood leads with a 6-2 record. Starring for them are Kevin “Black Jack” Kelly and Jerry “Colorado” Greene. QB 714, (3-0) is led by Jimmy Sullivan and Dave “Cowboy” Wilde. College H and Shooting Semen are tied for first at 7-1 in the 6:00 division. Both these teams are rated highly for the upcoming playoffs.

In another crucial game, the Cpnverse All-Stars play Code 5 for the last playoff spot in the Wednesday night division. Thursday, The Heads romped over the Wesley Wild Bunch to take first place in their division. Some drawbacks One drawback of the proposal is that it does not allow • for inflationary cost increases. Dimmick cautioned that the Athletic Department would have to be certain to ask for enough funds to operate each of the four years the plan would be in effect. “Four years from now, the same budget that we have now would be a limitation," Dimmick said. The new proposal also does not allow for the addition of any sports, or for yearly fluctuations in expenses. For example, many teams have a lot of road games one year and a lot of home games the next year. Obviously, years with many road games would require larger budgets than other years. Despite these minor objections to the plan, the general feeling around Clark Hall is that the proposal, if passed, would be one of the best thhig&Jo happen to the Athletic Department in quite some time Since the referendum is binding if passed.

Monday, 28 February 1977 • Ill'll �t Buffalo forfeits six Hockey Association representative playoff berth still possible by Larry Amoros Special to The Spectrum The storybook season of the hockey Bulls might have come to an end last Saturday at the Tonawanda Sports Center, when Western Michigan swept the two game series, 5-1 and 4-3. But technically, the pair of defeats has little to do with the telling of the tale whose epilogue has yet to be sketched. The final chapter of the drama cannot be written until later this week when the Bulls find the Eastern out from Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) Tournament selection committee if they have been given a berth in the Division II playoffs. There are many factors which will affect the Bulls’ chances. One of the most influencing is a recent discovery that freshman left wing Dave Golda had played for the Bulls while ineligible, forcing Buffalo to forfeit all six games that he played in. Unfortunately, those six games were all Division 11 contests which the Bulls won, altering their final record from 11-4 to 5-10. ECAC rules state that any junior college transfer must have 24 credit hours and a minimum 2.0 average in order to be eligible to play varsity sports. If these requirements are not met, then thi student must sit out one full year before he becomes eligible to r~ play. When Golda made the varsity squad last October, Co-ordinator of Men’s Intercollegiate Athletics Ed Muto made the standard eligibility check for varsity athletes. According to the Office of Admissions and Records, Golda had first registered at the University of Buffalo in January, 1976, but his transcript had not yet arrived from Erie Community College. Not knowing whether Golda’s academic work-load fulfilled the ECAC requirement or not, Muto declared Golda ineligible until January, 1977, one full year from his initial registration at Buffalo. In February, Union College officials requested an investigation by the ECAC Inquiry Committee into the eligibility of Dave Golda. Not surprisingly, Union had earlier in the year been handed their first Division 11 loss ever at the hands of Buffalo. The investigation then found errors of omission in the Admissions and Records file, which made Golda ineligible until September, 1977. Golda had in fact, registered at Buffalo in January, 1976, but he had stayed here only one week before going back to Erie Community College. Thus, Golda had to sit out one full year from the time he officially came to Buffalo, this past September. Additionally, it against the swift skating Division I Broncos.

The skaters closed out the complete if the team makes the season in style, playing stoically playoffs. (Stephen) Hardy that the forfeits was later learned that while Golda had transferred 25 credits, he only had a 1.8 quality point average. Muto immediately made an appeal to the Inquiry Committee on the basis that Golda’s ineligibility was “an error of omission, not a sin of intent.” Muto was careful to point out that Golda was a fourth litie player who played only in the event of an, injury to another member of the team. This past Friday the Committee ruled against Buffalo, causing the Bulls to forfeit six games (victories over Union, R.I.T., New England, Hamilton, and two wins over Oswego). Playoffs still possible The complex tale does not, however, end here. For there is yet another ECAC Committee to deal with, the Tournament Committee, who decide which teams qualify for the playoffs. When the news of the ineligibility situation reached this Committee, Chairman J. Thomas Lawler of Merrimac College immediately contacted Muto. Lawler said that the Committee would try to judge the Bulls on merit of their performance, and leave the eligibility ruling aside. According to Buffalo coach Ed Wright, this attitude is a step in the right direction for the Bulls. “Lawler told the Eastern Collegiate Stu dio Arena Theater The Incomparable —r - Buff State, Bulls vie for second in Big Four by Paige Miller EMLYN WILLIAMS diaries Dickens March 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 10 Student discount $2.00 available only at Norton Ticket Office Studio Arena Theater, 681 Main St. Ticket subsidized by S.A. Activities Fee. The season is almost over. Only one basketball-game remains, and yet, for Buffalo, with a record of 4-20, and for Buffalo State, at 13-11, there is still something at stake. When the two teams clash tomorrow night at Clark Hall (8:15 p.m.) second place in the Big Four Conference is at stake, as well as the pride of the two teams. Niagara has already clinched first place in the Big Four, with a conference record of 3-0, and Canisius is last at 0-3. Then, there is the jinx factor. The Bulls have only beaten State once in the past ten years, and based on their recent performances, they will be facing a rough task indeed. And of course, both teams would like to beat their crosstown rival. Buffalo State has been led by their 6-8 center Greg Miller. Last year, he and Bulls center Sam Pellom had quite a duel; for a while they turned the game into a two-man show. Miller has been averaging 11.8 points per game, compared to Pellom’s 13.1, but Miller has the edge in rebounds, 14.0 to 10.6 Both teams’ leading scorer is a guard. John Dougherty has been averaging 12.2 points for Buffalo State, while junior Ed Johnson has scored 16 points per game for the Bulls. Lately, guard Bucky Strong, a freshman from Rochester, has been playing well for State. Strong is probably the best outside shooter on either team, and has been hitting twenty-five footers consistently during his recent hot streak. Buffalo’s other starting guard will probably be senior George Cooper, who has had a- very erratic season, and is currently averaging 12.3 points per game. Buffalo State forwards Jerome Glover and Oleh Czmola are old “friends” of the Bulls. Czmola pulled down twenty rebounds while leading the Bengals to victory in the teams’ meeting last year. Glover combines an outside shot with strong work under the boards, and should give Buffalo’s forwards, Lloyd DeVaux and Sam Robinson all they can handle. DeVaux has come on strong towards the end of the season. He is a good outside shooter, while Robinson provides the Bulls with height and strong rebounding. Monday, 28 Feburary 1977 .

This weekend will be the most critical due to the rising temperatures but there is not reason to panic. There will be a 24 to 36 hour advance forecast of flooding and University personnel are in close contact with the Town of Amherst Corps of Engineers.” According to Vice President for Facilities Planning John Telfer, the University is better off than areas in the Town of Amherst. “This is because the campus was built at a height adequate for the worst possible flood expected in a 100 year span,” Telfer said. The areas about which he is most worried are the parking lots around Ellicott, Core Road underneath Ellicott and the loading dock at Governors Residence Halls.

It is the SA Financial Assembly that distributes the expected $886,750 into these six major areas, reserving nine percent, for operational expenses of the Student Association, provoking much of the controversy associated with the mandatory fee. “Major concerns revolve around lack of ‘guidelines’ of clarity, the individual student’s inability to enjoy a greater voice in expenditure decisions, effective intimidation by special interest groups, student difficulties in facing up to real accountability and responsibility, and lack of effective recourse for the individual student who, on principle does not desire to participate,” said Controversy This year, SA /ill conduct a survey in various classrooms next week which will seek to provide of information useful in determining how allocation with compatible can be student activity fee monies the interests of the undergraduate student body.

Allen and' Pat Feldballe, two disc jockies at WBUF, appeared on a WBFO Public Radio talk show hosted by John Hunt, to underline the importance of public opposition to the proposed sale. The letters should stress that because BUF is locally owned, it tries to serve the needs and expectations of those who live in Buffalo and its suburbs, and that if it sold to an out-of-town chain, the station will cease to function as such therefore the sale will have an adverse effect on the local community. — Our prewashed denim jeans are No more live music Until now, public attention was focused on the proposed change of BUF’s musical format from “progressive rock” to “contemporary pop,” with an increase in commerical time. It was argued that the addition of another AM format radio station was not needed in Buffalo, while a “progressive” station would be sorely missed. “The music is the last thing as far as the transfer of the license is concerned,” said Feldballe. “The IRS is forcing the sale of BUF. A1 Worthheimer (the present owner) must sell or pay huge inheritance taxes.” “Letters concerning music will be discarded by the FCC,” added Allen. He continued that almost all AM and FM commercial radio stations in Buffalo are currently owned by out-of-town chains. Plans by Robert Liggett, owner of the chain of five radio stations called TriMedia that has applied for the license, include the removal of the Town Crier talk show, hosted by Allen, shorter and more nationally oriented news, and the banning of live music from local clubs on the air. A doctor from Cheektowaga has offered to buy BUF but reportedly cannot get the same financial terms from the FCC as can Liggett. TriMedia must put down $50,000 and pay the rest of the $700,000 cost by long term assignment debts. The FCC has not yet accepted Ligget’s application, but if and when it does, the sale becomes final 30 days hence. Allen commented that present announcers can form a corporation and solicit stock to the public, but only after the present application is tabled by the FCC and a subsequent hearing is held. He explained that neither he nor Feldballe nor any BUF announcer could mention the matter on their respective shows because “our owner does not want the public aware. He wants to sell the station and leave quietly,” he said Concerned listeners can write to: Federal Communications Commission Room 709, Transfer Branch 1919 M Street, Northwest Washington, D.C. 20554 , Ask your friends what they paid.

Friday, 25 February 1977 CLOSED SUNDAYS a �Simon Wiesenthal Ex-Nazi victim details a long 35-year search for justice by Marshall Rosenthal Spectrum Staff Writer Amid tight security, “Nazi hunter” Simon Wiesenthal spoke before an overflowing audience Wednesday night in the Fillmore Room in a program sponsored by the Student Association Speakers Bureau and the Jewish Student Union. “1 am not a Jewish James Bond. I am a man of justice, rather than a man of revenge.” Born 68 years ago in the province of Galacia, _Wiesenthal was incarcerated in five different Nazi concentration camps. On May 5, 1945 when the American Allied Forces liberated him, he weighed a mere 90 pounds, but as he said, “1 survived.” Wiesenthal summed up the feelings of many of the death camp survivors, “We lost all beliefs in humanity. We needed for our lives not only food, clothing and houses, but Justice as well.” Hortor stories the war, after Shortly Wiesenthal worked for the American Office of War Criminals and also becamse the president of the Jewish Survivors Organization. After hearing many horrifying stories from concentration camp survivors, Wiesenthal comprised a list of crimes committed by the Nazis and established the famous Documentation Center. In the for all name of “justice humanity,” Wiesenthal, through his network of operations, set out to locate all the surviving Nazi war criminals. He felt this was his obligation as a Jew, adding that was not government-backing necessary.

Losing the court battle could make it particularly difficult for the Coop to demonstrate its right to exist and to be placed at the Amherst Campus. An administration source said, however, that even if the Coop loses its court battle, there is the possibility of appeal by various student bodies. After that he suggested that there are other legal steps which could be taken. “It seems to me this thing could be fought for years.” Though holding a positive attitude toward the Coop, Browsing Library, the Music.

As a result, departments and services are being reshuffled and scattered throughout the new campus, which, sources say, will decentralize them and hurt int ra-departmental communication. Gruber has indicated that the new campus’ expansive design architecturally known as a “scatter plan” will act to decentralize student activities. “This is going to be dysfunctional as well as inconvenient,” he said. ‘3 ust because it read well doesn’t mean it will work.” - — BEER AND SODA ON THE BUS *****$10.00 Cancellation fee NON-FEE PAYERS. _ * LEAVES - APRIL 1 - RETURNS APRIL SALE TIMES-M-W-F-11 am -5 pm Tu.

Sponsored by The Black Student Union �AMA’s feelings toward cigarettes are ‘peculiar’ Editor's note: This is the second in a series of articles about the American Medical Association. This article details the relationship between the AMA and the tobacco industry during the 1960’s when research was conducted about the dangers of smoking. by Jay Rosen Spectrum Staff Writer In March of 1963, the American Medical Association (AMA) announced it was suspending its research into the health hazards of smoking in view of the sweeping study underway by the United States Surgeon General. In December of the same year, the AMA reversed itself and decided to go ahead with its own study after all.. Observers noted- that the Surgeon General’s report was expected to harshly criticize smoking as a health hazard. In January of 1964, the Surgeon General’s study was released. After 14 months of exhaustive research, a carefully screened panel of outstanding scientists and physicians concluded that cigarette smoking was a major cause of lung cancer and “the most important cause” of chronic bronchitis and emphysema. While health officials and the scientific and medical communities hailed the report as an important breakthrough, two groups said nothing. The tobacco industry, which had sold 500 billion cigarettes the year before, was momentarily silent. So was the AMA. Washington columnist Drew Pearson termed the AMA’s attitude toward cigarettes “peculiar.” “Some senators.” he warned; “are beginning to wonder if the doctors are for health or against it.” The wondering soon led to indignation. the tobacco industry In February, announced it was awarding $10 million to the AMA’s research foundation to undertake “further investigation” into smoking and health. Defends tobacco industry Later that month the Federal Trade Commission, which had proposed that mandatory warnings be required on all cigarette packs and advertising, received a letter protesting such action. The letter was from the AMA’s Board of Trustees. The letter read: “More than 90 million persons in the United States use tobacco in some form and of these, 72 million use cigarettes.. . The economic lives of tobacco growers, processors and merchants are entwined in the industry, and state, local and the federal government are the recipients of and dependent upon many millions of dollars' of tax revenue [gepejrated by cigarette sales]. Pearson theorized, “The AMA’s letter to the Federal Trade Commission sounded almost as if it had been written by tobacco men.” In March of 1964 the AMA confirmed publicly what many observers had suspected privately, by coming to the tobacco industry’s defense. At hearings conducted by the FTC about the proposed warning labels, the AMA testified that, “Cautionary labeling cannot be anticipated to serve the public interest.” It further asserted the FTC had no right to initiate such action anyway, that it was the sole responsibility of Congress. Former Senator Maurine Newberger said that month she was “growing somewhat apprehensive about the concern the AMA has for the economic well being of the tobacco industry rather than the physical well-being of smokers.” ‘Unholy alliance’ Others were more Speakers Bureau termed mo ‘ After two years of widespread criticism, Student Association Speakers Bureau appears to have struck a middle ground in its programing. Speakers Bureau chairperson Janet Evans explained, “Two years ago (former Chairperson) Stan Morrow was into numbers, which isn’t bad. He was hired because getting large crowds was his main concern.” But Evans feels he created a backlash against “popular” programing, which was typified by speakers Lois Lane and Moe Howard. As for last year, Evans explained that Robby Cohen “wanted to go the other, way. He wanted to lead people, to educate them, perhaps to the point of being too esoteric.” In an effort to avoid the pitfalls of both philosophies, Evans Although conducted a survey concerning students’ she expected commercial entertainment-type speakers to be ranked fourth or fifth, they were instead the second most popular category, with speakers about the future being first. The schedule for the Spring includes a Right to Life vs. Abortion debate (March 2), a presentation of “Guerrilla Tactics in the Job 16), Julian Bond (April 25), historian Paul Market” (March Desmondedas using history to predict the future, and a forum on Disarmament. Political columnist Jack Anderson has not .yet been rescheduled. Asked why there has not been more programs about the future, Evans responded, “no money.” She had planned on doing a series on this topic at the end of the Spring, but discovered funds were not available. She pointed to poor records kept in the SA Treasurer’s Office, which in turn attributed the problem to a high turnover of Treasurers this year. However, there are some funds still left. In approving the Bureau’s budget last Spring, the Financial Assembly mandated that $3,000 be spent on minority programing. Of this, approximately $1500 is left but only available for minority programs. When asked how a rule requiring her to clear any speaker costing S2,000 or more through the Student Senate has affected the program, she replied, “Not all that much. We’ve only had speakers projected to and they William Shatner and Jack Anderson cost that muth actually turned out to be less.” She was quick to point out that any speaker appearing in Clark Hall would run into that kind of money. “Both attendance figures and any surveys that have been done show that there are a lot of students who want big name speakers. Clark Hall is the only plage where such a program is economically and physically possible. So I’m urging my successor to plan more events there than 1 did.” She also felt the limit for approval be raised, or eliminated - - direct, charging collusion between the two groups. Those charges received a dose of validity when the AMA issued a pamphlet entitled: “Smoking Facts You Should Know,” in May of 1964. This was a full five months after the Surgeon General’s report. The pamphlet stated that smoking was a threat to life because “numerous depths occur each year from burns and suffocation due to falling asleep while smoking.” The issue of cancer was skillfully sidetracked. Doctors and health groups ridiculed the pamphlet, which was later revised. Meanwhile, in a seemingly unrelated development, the House Ways and Means Committee shelved a Medicare bill which the AMA bitterly opposed. A key “no” vote was obtained from Representative Watts of Kentucky, whose district relied — heavily on the tobacco crop. Watts’ switch from “yes” to “no” put supporters of the bill in the minority. Rather than suffer an embarrassing defeat, the issue was tabled until the next year. Though a direct connection between the AMA’s support of the tobacco industry and the crucial vote was never established, many congressmen suspected an “unholy alliance” between the two. The FTC warnings eventually went on cigarette packs anyway. However, the AMA helped keep the cautions off cigarette advertising for several years. This was acceptable to the tobacco companies because it kept the warnings away from potential new smokers. (Next: The AMA and the drug industry.) The S.A.

If the Editor has any disliking of the candidate (in which one Of the editors did display), then he can distort bis “objective interview” enough to lose the election for that one candidate. Being that The Spectrum is the major source of campus information, then they should respect that privilege and report facts to us. They should not abuse that privilege and try to tell us what is good for us; or in the words of one of the Editors, to play “God.” Marc Wolin Editor’s note: We think the editor’s statement was made in jest.

Special Features Sports WSC began researching the events surrounding the BSU-SA conflict when controversy emerged around these issues in The Spectrum. We are writing a letter supporting BSU since it is clear that there are many connections between attacks on BSU and their position within the University hierarchy. Parallels can be drawn between this situation and the experience of other third world and women’s units which have been fighting against their historic discrimination within the American educational system. It was also clear to us that The Spectrum had taken the position of the SA by covering up a history of harassments and budget cuts of BSU. In brief, starting last March, during negotiations for the new fiscal budget, a series of tactics were used by the SA to both limit communication and hinder negotiations. The budget ‘talks’ were adjourned last spring, taken off campus, and the budget set during the summer when students weren’t around. While BSU’s budget,didn’t reflect significant cuts beyond the figures promised the previous semester, it was soon revealed that a good chunk of their money was acquired by cutting the salary of the SA Minority Affairs Coordinator, Women as well as third world students are commonly treated by the administration in this way money isn’t allocated to meet the growing needs of these groups but rather it is shifted back and forth and divided among us. This incident is part of the struggle of BSU to maintain the control and integrity of their budget, a struggle which culminated in the first fight last semester.

Editorial policy is determined by the Editor-in-Chief. irresponsible bureaucrats. However, we also see the administration as a responsible party. By not taking a strong impartial public stand (it was a fist fight between two men) the issues became confused and the facts obscured both on campus and in the Buffalo Community. Therefore, this incident was used to perpetuate racist ideas about 3rd world peoples and feed into white students’ fears. The administration’s position is further revealed by the new dictum from the President and Vice President of Student Affairs which says: Any member of any student club who intimidates any member of the SA will have their budget frozen. This further aggravates the situation by enforcing the idea that the SA has to be protected from the student clubs it is suppose to serve. Meanwhile, the administration is controlling the purse strings. Our attention has too long been focused on individual personalities within the SA rather than on the issues behind the events which led to the expulsion/suspension of three students. We must cut through the webs of misinformation and lack of history. So, in an effort to resolve this issue and unite against the inevitable attacks on education and services this Spring, we are demanding: 1. The immediate reinstatement of John Lott, George Thomas & Rob Tribble; 2. that testimony concerning the hearing be made public in order for the issue to be cleared up expediently; 3. that the basis behind the how’s and why’s of the BSU audit be made public; 4. that minority groups have the power to control how their budgets get spent and distributed.

Secondly, the SA must start acting as responsible students rather than Monday’s article concerning the S.A. Senate meeting of February 17 noted that I objected to restrictions on club endorsements of candidates, on the grounds that this would constitute an abridgement of a club’s First Amendment Rights. The article neglected to mention, however, that as clubs are both recognized and funded by student mandatory fees, such endorsements would, in effect, constitute use of fees for political purposes. This was pointed out to the Senate by one of its members. I believe that in this case the abridgement is justified. The individual club members must, of course, be free to speak as they wish concerning the election. Janet Evans Page six The Spectrum . . Friday, 25 February 1977 �Concert at State Bromberg serious about his playing David Bromberg's two concerts Buffalo State College last weekend proved his importance as a proponent of contemporary and traditional sytles of American guitar. Without a doubt, guitar playing is a serious subject for Bromberg. Mention a guitar in conversation with David and you'll notice the tone of the communication raise 20 decibels. Just ask him what masters he has been influenced by he'll start John with "any Mississippi Hurt records; Big Bill Broonzy; Lonnie Johnson; Blind Blake, especially; B.B. King, incredible; Charlie Christian; Kjango Rhinehart; Doc Watson; Clarence White; Eric Clapton is a beautiful guitar player, there's a blue grass player named Tony Rice that's great; I've always enjoyed George Benson; Wes Montgomery; Arland Roth is really outasite; Ricky Clark for the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band is a guitar player that's completely outasite, beyond belief." Then he'll conclude that "the list is very long," but you bet you tukus that if he had all the time, he would go naming on forever revered at — guitarists. clearly those names All indicate that DB does a lot of record listening. As a matter of point, he admits that records are one of the very best places to obtain the basic principles. "I think copying is a good way to learn, actually. I was never able to copy exactly, but just the attempt of copying developed the skills that made me able to play better. It trained me. If you try and copy, it's a technical exercise, You must realize it's an exercise and not self-expression; then you can really build up your chops. In every art it's the traditional way of building chops." To build on a point, one of Bromberg's favorite magazines is Guitar Player, which he describes as "a superb magazine. I'm just amazed at how good it is. If somebody told me, before it came out, that there was a magazine like that, I wouldn't have believed it. It has really good stuff, for everybody." Aside from the informative Guitar Player, Bromberg has never really had any lessons on guitar. Without formal training, it's a great wonder what technique David used to achieve such comprehension. "Icouldn't really function without lessons," he explains, "I mostly taught myself if you really want to learn, you'll just learn. The important thing is to put in the hours, to Don't worry about practice. doing it wrong or you're whether it. right, just do Just anyway that can get it done, do it. Practice, train your ear as much as you possible." He advises. "Some of the innovations have been discovered trying to do something and doing it wrong and coming up with something completely different and wonderful. The thing is if you put in the time and if you have some talent, you're gonna come up with something great even if you're in a vacuum. "The key is time. I have a record player that playes at half speed, 16, and I'd take the fast passages and slow them down. Before I'd do that I'd listen to them so I could sing them. That helps, if you can relate your playing to what you can sing in your mind, I usually begin#vis rap by quoting a Loundon Wainright song, ("4 is a lucky number, but then again so is 5.''] "Everytime I sit you down, to teach you thus or so, for safety's sake remember, I don't really know.'' The point is that different are things constructed for different people. Some people have a lot of trouble in their lives and pull it together by Scientology; some pull it together by meditation, some pull it together with the aid of the Guru Maharaji; for some it\.

Back to the roots Their music could best be described, if classification is necessary, as being stylized in the elusive "progressive" mode. Rodan has gone back to their roots. The influences of the groups they have emulated throughout their past bar phase, (King Crimson, Gentle Giant, Genesis and Chick Corea,) can be felt in their songs, and although bits and pieces will inevitably be compared directly with these groups, it is important to stress that on the whole, their songs are well-worked-out, STRICTLY ORIGINAL pieces that'are on a level that indicated big things for this group soom. They closed their thirty-five minute set with a song that invited the audience to witness just how versatile they are. Entitled "Other Ways," it is a two-part autobiographical epic that is definitely the most powerful example of the group's new material, one which gave an excellent climactic finish to their performance. With Ludwig on twelve-string and singer Tim Reinhardt on Bass, lead guitarist Bruce Brucatto and keyboardist Rick McGirr were allowed to take off, McGirr exploring intricate jazz runs while Brucatto alternated between his interjections of Robert Fripp-like mannersims and a high-speed McLaughlinesque solo.

Their new music is extremely good, and one song in particular was especially novel.

The crowd was not left in the dark all evening as, intermingled among the new songs were old favorites such as "Freehane," "Just The Same" and the extended concert version of "On Reflection." Their rendition of this was beautiful, with Minnear on cello, Ray Shulman on violin, Gary Green on recorder, and Weathers on Vibraphone, It would be safe to say that the versatility of these musicians goes unrivaled in the rock world today. They performed everything from five-man recorder to five-man guitar to five-man percussion arrangements and back again. For their encore they performed their medley from the "Octupus" album, identical to the format they used on the live album just as they did for "On Reflection." Needless to say, Gentle Giant captivated the Buffalo audience yet another time, exhibiting their mastery in three styles of music: classical, jazz and rock. But more importantly, the promising new material has many Giant fans anxiously awaiting May's release. Friday, 25 February 1977 The Spectrum Page nine . . �Tapies'art uses Artie Traum drifts into town ambiguity to alter UUAB Coffeehouse sense ofreality Neither snov nor ice nor gloom of winter can keep Artie Traum away from Buffalo, it seems; after being snowed out in January, he's back to play the UUAB Coffeehouse tonight and tomorrow night, at The art of Antoni Tapies is filled with ambiguities. He combines in his abstract paintings and sculptures various elements of architecture, landscape, man's language, and furnishings to produce an art which strives to reinterpret ordinary definitions and uses of these elements at the same time that it reinforces them. The viewer is at times invited to become a part of the work, to experience it from within, while at other times he is reminded of his apartness, his existence outside of the work which forces him to experience it from a distance. While walking among Tapies' exhibit: 'Thirty-Three Years of His Work," on display at the Albright-Knox Museum until March 6, these ambiguities become disturbing. They haunt the viewer, moving him from one sense of reality to another. ’ These ambiguities, however, are by no means circumstantial. Such is Tapies' talent for working with them that they give his art the ability to contradict itself both within each piece and in comparing one piece to another. 8:30 in Norton Union's First Floor Cafeteria. Also appearing is Buffalo's Bill Maraschiello. , The Traum legend goes back to the mythical days of the early New York folk scene. Even before Dylan's arrival, Artie and his brother Happy had both a following and a reputation; Artie especially was most people's choice as the best songwriter and lead guitarist around (beating out the likes of John Sebastian, Danny Kalb, and Jesse Colin Young), and was the odds-on favorite to sweep the big time. Somehow, though, the Traum's big break never came. They did two albums for Capitol, neither of which ever got out of the underground. Not that they really minded: both the duo and Artie's solo act remained popular. Among those the Traums were popular with were Maria Muldaur, Jack Elliott, John Herald, and Dave Van Ronk (not to mention our Mr. Dylan), and they had a habit of turning up at each other's gigs and recording sessions. Hot mud All this time, they continued to progress, with Artie's writing and performing growing in sophistication and polish. A watershed of sorts was Mud Acres on Rounder Records, a cult classic with the Traums, Muldaur, Herald, Eric Kaz, Bill Keith, and several other old friends. It's subtitled "Music Among Friends," and that's probably the best description of its loose, amiable spirit, a lot pf which is also on the Traum's latest and best effort by themselves. Hard Times in the Country, also on Rounder. All of this is old news to the people who pack the Coffeehouse when Artie comes to town (this time around, he'll have backup guitarist and singer Pat Alger helping him out). If you've not heard what a solid, wholly enjoyable musician Artie is, give some serious thought to making it down but don't think too long or you'll be sold out! Rounding out the bill (no oun intended) is Bill — Maraschiello, an old face on the local folk scene, playing 12-string guitar, mandolin, (mostly) melodeon, and pennywhistle, and doing drinking songs, bawdy ballads, Kottke/Fahey style guitar instrumentals, Irish dance tunes, a few pieces of his own, and other music old and new. The whole shebang starts at 8:30 tonight and tomorrow night in Norton Union's First Floor Cafeteria. Tickets, you ask? At the Norton Ticket Office, where else? Doors of perception For example, the piece called Painting and Door contains in fact no door. There is instead the frame which defines a doorway, half of which juts into space above the canvas, while the other half runs down in front of the canvas almost to the bottom of it. The painting is a small semi-oval patch of blue placed just beneath the doorframe against a white background. In viewing this piece, one must make a decision as to what is to be seen as it appears and what is to be implied through the imagination. It has been said that Tapies' use of the color blue suggests an association with water. The problem comes then with the doorframe. It is both a part of the painting and a part of the space artfund the painting. As an opening, a passageway, it invites the imagination to move away from the reality outside the painting into the earth-like reality of the blue semi-oval. But, if the imagination is allowed this freedom, should it not also inscribe a door within the doorframe, as the title of the piece might suggest? If so, then the piece is not an invitation to cross the boundary of reality, but rather, a representation of it. Outldok A similar experience occurs in Grey With Two Black Spots. In this piece, the three-dimensional form of a window frame has been constructed with a thick layer of latex. The entire piece has a rough cement-like texture, and large black spots cover the area where two of the four window panes would be placed. Again, the imagination becomes confused. Is one to imagine he is looking through the window at the black spots, or are they, like the viewer, outside the piece? Indeed, if this is a window, why are the panes covered with sandy grey paint? Unlike Painting And Door, through the form of a window is apparent here, Tapies does not refer to it in the title of the piece. One of the problems with ambiguities and contradictions like these is that they often add up to a total non-meaning which leaves the viewer with no clear impression of what the artist has to say. Tapies, though, does not pretend to offer answers. He himself has said of his art that it seeks: "to give him (man) a theme for reflection, to shock him in order to rescue him from the madness of inauthenticity, and to lead him to self-discovery, to a consciousness of his real possibilities. Art and the real world In moving toward this goal, Tapies has attempted to form a complete language of communication through art. It requires that a dialogue be established between viewer and art wherein art is the stimulus to which the viewer must bring his own meanings, reactions, and responses. In his sculpture, especially, with its simple and familiar arrangement of such common objects as chairs, newspapers, and blankets, Tapies brings the real world into the world of art. It becomes a means to an illusion and an illusiion in itself, asking the viewer to re-think and possibly re-define his distinctions between what art and the real world are. To Tapies, the distihctions are few. The signature on the mixed-media piece, Ochre With Six Collages, is written backwards, as if it is a reflection acknowledging the presence of the artist within and without the work. In either instance, the viewer is free to join him ere ‘ —Gerald Sternesky EVANS ART Reperatory Film Cinema Sheridan & Evans 632-7700 All seats $2.00 - - Feb. 23-26 Wed, Thurs Fri. Sat.

Friday, 25 February 1977 Prodigal Sun �Twilight' and 'Cassandra' WORLD HUNGER Paranoia runs deep in films Nightmare or Reality? Guest Speaker: Dr. Matthew Drosdoff Fri. Feb. 25 In the light of recent revelations concerning our government and its mysterious ways at home and abroad, paranoia has become not just an acceptable attitude, but a hobby for many people, screenwriters not excluded. Through such "traitors" as Daniel Ellsberg, Phillip Ages, or Woodward/Bernstein, we have seen that some of our trusted public servants will stop at nothing in their attempts to preserve the status quo, be it in the guise of Democracy, National Security, or just plain old Richard Nixon. Twilight's Last Gleaming and The Cassandra Crossing are two European-made films which, although superficially resembling the currently fashionable "disaster" epics, revolve around the ruthlessness our leaders display potentially when confronted with embarassing situations; In this aspect the films succeed, transcending their all-too-familiar (to movie-goers) story lines with trick endings, jaded guaranteed give to even the most to something think about. paranoia-junkie In Twilight we see Burt Lancaster (who appears films) at first as a cunning extortionist, then both in eventually as a political idealist, an ex-Air Force General whose unsavory beliefs caused the brass to have him framed for murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. Thus, having nothing to lose, General Dell recruits three other convicts, also ex-servicemen, breaks' out of prison, and sets off to commit the crime of the century. Having once been in command of a defense installation, Dell has very little trouble leading his men into a similar base, forcibly taking control of a nuclear missile silo, and preparing to start World War III if his demands are not met. The demands? Why, merely ten million dollars, full imunity from prosecution, the President as a hostage, and safe passage (aboard Air Force One) to the country of his choice. And, oh yes, there is one final stipulation after ransoming the missiles, the President must go on national; TV and read a classified document, the contents of which reveal the real reasons behind the Viet Nam War.

N Y 10019 (212) 245-7501 elected "President Stevens" (rather unconvincingly by Charles Durning) is shocked and disillusioned upon first seeing this document, which is in effect a crash course in high-level barbarism, just as Hitler and Stalin had been willing to "fight down to the last Spaniard" in pre-World War II Europe, so would the modern-day global powers sacreifice millions of lives in Southeast Asia, just to show that they were capable of doing so. Naturally, publication of such facts would cause National outrage, and Stevens' cabinet members are not prepared to meet this demand, under any circumstances. Likewise, Dell is not prepared to back off. Director Robert Aldrich uses the Air Force's vain attempts to regain control of their impregnable missile silo (led by Richard Widmark as Dell's nemesis. General Mackenzie) to provide too many minutes of artificial suspense, but his use of double and triple split-screen effects to convey a sense of chaos is noteworthy. Aside from some of the frenzied telephone exchanges between Dell, Mackenzie and other higher-ups, and some fine last-minute philospohising by Dell's last surviving henchman, (Roscoe Lee Browne), the film lacks convincing drama, particularly in scenes involving the president and his cabinet. However, it has its moments of ironically exquisite black humor, and if the final decision reached by the Cabinet members doesn't send chills down your spine, consider the fact that such a scenario might someday come to be. While Twilight succeeds more as a political statement than as an "action/adventure" film, The Cassandra Crossing is a superb example of the latter, and, taking into account the limitations of this medium, has much to recommend it. The plot, which is sort of a cross-breed between The Andromeda Strain and Ship of Fools begins at the "International Health Organization" headquarters in Geneva, where unscrupulous U.S. military leaders have been illegally storing toxins for some future war.

And now, Canada has come through again, this time with a high-powered trio from Toronto, that goes by the name of Triumph. This past week marked their first American tour. The band was formed early in 1976, and consists of Rik Emmett on guitars and vocals, Mike Levine on bass guitar (he also co-produced their first album), with Gil Moore completing the trio on drums and vocals. Triumph's first album, which is entitled Triumph, (What else?) was recorded in mid-1976, and is on the Canadian based Attic label. Triumph played their debut concert to a capacity crowd at the Toronto Forum in August of 1976. This concert earned the group much critical acclaim, as well as a largy following in their home town. Reviewing this condert, the magazine The Entertainer had a headline that read: "Forum Rocks to Triumph," and critics were soon referring tp the three Canadians as the "Second Led Zepellin." Having made a name for themselves in their homeland, the next step was a limited American tour. The first stop on this tour was to San Antonio, Texas last Friday night. The band rocked the "packed house of 6,000 in the San Antonio Municipal Auditorium" to a high-pitched frenzy. It seems that, like everything else in Texas, Triumph was big. But then, the group (eft the warmth of Texas for latitudes closer to home, and two gigs in the Queen City. Their first concert in the Buffalo area was Saturday, night at McVan's nightclub. accompanied by a live radio broadcast over WBUF-FM. Bassist Mike Levine commented that, "God, did we ever play at McVan's!" The final stop on the American tour was at After Dark, a nightclub in Colvin, New York last Sunday evening. The group also made a guest appearance at the Record Theater on Sunday r As for future American tours, he said that "Texas wants us back!" but believed that it would be better to play in other areas of the country first, before returning there to what he was sure would be a warm welcome. He said that the group might do a concert in the Chicago area, or possibly the New England area, during breaks in recording. "It all depends upon where we get FM airplay." He expressed a desire to tour the West Coast, but did not believe that they would in -the near future, because there is no great response to the little FM airplay they do receive out there. As for their music. Triumph is a mix of the best features of such groups as Aerosmith and Led Zepellin, but they nevertheless seem to hpve a style all their own. They have a knowledge of musical technology, and this is very evident in the album. On songs such as "24 Hours A Day" and "What’s Another Day of Rock and Roll," they demonstrate the heavy power chording style that earned them the title of "Led Zepellin 2," white on the "Blinding Light Show/Moonchild," they show their musical diversity in a slower, moody song through the use of mellotrons and acoustic guitars. This wide diversity in their style of music is what, in the end, will set Triumph apart from all the groups that they have been compared with. As for success, well, Triumph will just have to work on the new album, play a few more gigs, and then watch out. Rush and Heart, you'll soon have company at the top of the Canadian rock bands, because Triumph is on their way up. WEEKEND - UUAB FILMS Roman Polanski’s The Tenant KIDDIES MATINEE!!! CR&miRE Bonnie Raitt has received a lot of praise since the appearance of her 1971 debut album, Bonnie Raitt. She is often singled out for her "voice full of unleashed passion and sensual innocence" and the way she draws from the crowd when she lets go on her guitar (with overlapping funky chords, bottle neck and slide.) Bonnie isn't about to making music, let the accolades get in the way of her real vocation having a good time, and sharing with her audience an appreciation of both the older, more -overlooked originators of the blues styles she loves and the new, more elusive songwriters whose music is too often shoved into the record bargain bins of the country. — Her initial success in Philadelphia and Boston area clubs led to subsequent engagements at the Gaslite in New York, Philadelphia's Main Point, The Philadelphia Folk Festival and numerous colleges on the East coast. Off to an impressive start, Bonnie was soon to be priviledged to share the stage with many of her long time blues idols. She has played with Son House, Mississippi Fred McDowel, Arthur Crudup, Howlin' Wolf, and her special mentor Sippie Wallace. As her audiences and her versatility grew, she drew the interest of the record companies, and signed with Warners in 1971. Fans initially attracted by Bonnie's blues performances weren't dismayed with her debut album. The program included traditional material from Robert Johnson and Sippie Wallace and included performances by Chicago bluesmen Junior Wells and A.C. Reed. It was also one of the few albums recorded in the 70s on a four-track machine. The album reflected the difference between music made among friends living in the country and the kind squeezed out trying to beat city traffic and studio clocks. The LP also covered a range of styles which would eventually become a Raitt tradition a mix of country blues, early r&b, interpretations of hew songwriters, as well as — original Compositions. Since '71, Bonnie has gone on to record four more albums Give It Up, Takm' My Time, Streetlights, and Home Plate which draw on the funk of Little Feat and the lyrical appitude of Joni Mitchell. All of these disc have weathered critical acclaim and showcase much of the material perfected in her live performances. For all you blues lovers, Bonnie will perform at Shea's Buffalo on March 6 at 8;30 p.m. Special guest star will be Mose Allison; a concert you shouldn't miss. — “SHABBOTON” Amherst Chabad House Guest speaker Dr. Benzion Metzger Prof, of Psychology in Y.U.

The Spectrum . - NORTON UNION Friday, 25 February 1977 Prodigal Sun �The Kinks, Sleepwalker (Arista) Only two British rock groups have managed to stay together as long as Ray Davies' Kinks the Stones and The Who, of course. Ever since bursting onto the music scene in the wave of Beatlemania with hits like "You Really Got Me," "All Day and All of the Night," "Tired of Waiting for You (their highest peaking single), and others, the Kinks have always been a prime quality musical entity capable at times of putting out some of the most progressive rock music ever put on wax. Their string of concept albums beginning with Arthur The Rise and Fall of The British Empire, Village Green Preservation Society, the Preservation Series dealing with corruption in politics, and culminating with their final RCA offering Schoolboys In Disgrace 'remain unparalleled by any rock group, British or Amerian. Ray Davies, through his sensitive Songwriting was able to portray the feelings and’ sentiments of the little man," so often overlooked in both the music world and the real world. Songs like "Arthur," "Celluloid Heroes," and "Shangrila," are just a mere sampling of the man classics Ray Davies has composed dealing with the "little man." If the Kinks records were half as successful commercially as they were artistically, they's all be millionaires and would never have had to label hop. But in the music business, such is not usually the case. The Kinks are presently with their third record label, Clive Davis' Arista, having just exited RCA. As a debut. Sleepwalker is the first non-concept album for the Kinks in a number of years. Also, for a change, there were no female singers adding the backup vocals that only took away from the sound of their last few disks. It's the Kinks, and the Kinks alone, Ray and Dave Davies, Mick Avory, and John Dalton. The group sounds tighter and more cohesive as a band than in the recent past, with John Dalton playing outstanding bass throughout the record, and Dave Davies totally mastering his lead guitar. It seems that with each passing Kinks' album, the guitar playing of Dave Davies has gotten progressively better and better, and, if the Kinks were just a little more popular than they are, there's no doubt in my mind thathe would be ranked up with the best guitarists in rock. His guitar work immeasureably enhances the entire album. But full credit must deservedly go to Ray Davies for writing, producing, arranging, and providing the Kinks with multitudes of inspiration, enabling them to put together this Grade-A effort. One can only hope that perhaps, with their new label and their continued musical brilliance, the Kinks will finally achieve some of the long-overdue stardom they've sought so long for. Steven Brieff - - — Helen Schneider, So Close (Windsong) This lass, who looks like a cross between Liza Minelli and Cher is yet so far. Her debut album represents a "turn around to so close her roots." An ex-rock n' roller, she's gone middle-of-the-road, singing other people's songs. Well, honey, nice voice and all, that does not sell records. With two tunes co-written by Neil Sedaka and one penned by Daryl Dragon (The Captain of Tennile,) the question is just who is she trying to appeal to? Her voice is probably most reminiscent of Barbara Streisand; gutsy, wailing almost more than singing (that image is helped along by the fact that she is reared in Brooklyn). Yet she manages to change her style a bit. On "Sad Eyes" she gives a dash of Maria Muldaur, On "Why Don't We Live Together" it's a reminder of Carole King. By blending these styles together, she manages to have no two songs sounding the same. She prefers ballads and does sing them quite well, definitely a voice that could make it. But since she doesn't write her own material, she'll have to either copy a big hit, or land a movie soundtrack to really stand out and be noticed; I must admit though, as I listened I did find her voice vivacious and captivating, even on slow, sad ballads. She's a good singer, but not so good that you want to run right out and throw down $4 on her album. She's been a club performer; she may have to stay there until that "big song" comes her way. When it does, I think she will capitalize on the opportunity and make it big. But this album doesn't have what it takes to make her that noticeable. It's an enjoyable album, and she may become a great singer, but for now Helen Schneider will stay so Steve McKee yet so far away from the big time. close . .. — ... RECORDS City Boy, Dinner At The Ritz. (Phonogram) How does one become one of the musical elite these days? Well, if I were to write a book with the not-completely-original title, "How To Win Friends and Influence Critics and Musicians," a number of chapters would consist primarily of demonstrating "How To Flaunt The Words 'Progressive Rock'." Mention these linguistic aberrations at any gathering and you have the power to turn more heads than Farrah Fawcett-Majors or E.F. Hutton. Should you move your mouth's muscles to utter the three syllables "Cit-y Boy" you will become a veritable Medusa in commanding your audience. Ah, you say, you have not heard of them? You have made two regrettable mistakes. Firstly, you should know that City Boy is an excellent group from England. Secondly, you should never admit to not knowing about any progressive rock group; rather you should sip your party drink, maintaining a pixie-like, knowing spark in your eye and nod with persuasive affirmation at the mention of a progressive rock group's name. §o, you don't know who City Boy is you can fake it by asking, "Their ARP and moog synthesizer player is good, isn't he? Since all progressive rock bands use synthesizers, you have acted correctly, as if you actually know something about them and prodded your conversant partner to speak at length about City Boy. Should you ask me, I vyould observe in a deludingly obscene manner that City Boy's latest album, Dinner At the Ritz, is one of the great albums of all time. But try not to tell too many people. If they become too popular, the clutter of the masses will swipe the veil of progressive rock illusion from the smirking faces of City Boy. Because truthfully, there is no such thing as progressive rock; it is all simply undiscovered popular music. Do not be fearful of this innovation. There is some need, though, to hush it up. The vocals of Lol Mason and Steve Broughton simulate the cynical quality of Mason's lyrics with a flair for the sublime. The keyboards of Max Thomas illuminate and stimulate the ruddy, punning jokes. One is aroused to this poignancy on a thoughtful title wherein a cut, level the in keep-up-with-the-Jonses material sex life and subsequent birth rights are found to be impossible to drives me spare Dinner at the Ritz, I'd be pleased to make an appointment I'll be at your door an hour before we arranged. This cut is particularly interesting because of the deep submersion into drunkenness which portrays the drowning of one's worries as not a private, but a public affair. The well-known progressive rock group Van Der Graff Generator adds their brand of vocal song's conclusion. More punning delight is found in the tune "Narcissus." The story of the Greek boy who fell into self-love by viewing his reflection in a pond and subsequently changed into a flower, is combined with the dark fate of auto-eroticism? party revelry at the — achieve; I'm constantly aware of the things we can never share A t the stork dub some chic little pub that I could never afford But wish that / could bare your ultra feminine / flair For your accent on current events over dinner Don't need no audience round me; I'm fond of my own company Who wants the birds and the bees when i've always got me up my sleeve. Fiddler Jack Holstein lends his bow to the super-ballad, "The Violin," a song of the memories of love turning into happy reality. Atypically straightforward, this tune extolls the virtues of recollection through the metaphoric visage of an old lady peering through the window of the Ritz, a restaurant which held remembrances of her first love. Bergman could do a job on this story, should he desire to film it; it is art which is pure.

This is not a reason to vote against the fee (more on that later). The trouble is that the people who are elected usually don't owe their elections to commuters and therefore don’t give a damn about their problems. Commuters must take the time to read about the candidates, find out about platforms, and then take the two minutes that is needed to vote and elect a strong pro-commuter government. Make sure that the candidates support increased funding of the Commuter Council so it can provide more breakfasts, evening events, and an expansion of the bus token project. The new administration should encourage UUAB to schedule more and afternoon events (UUAB has started with a In the beginning. Peter Gabriel begat Genesis and Progressive Rock fans thought it was good. Gabriel split like a bad brother would, and Phil Collins begat a second Genesis. And this Monday evening, the Paranoia —continued from page 11 — ... apprehended trying to blow up the building, and in the ensuing gunfight, a beaker of pneumonic plague toxin (for which there is no known antidote) is shattered. One of the terrorists, now carrying the highly infectious plague, escapes through a broken window and stows away on the Transcontinental Express, a luxury train carrying a thousand people from Geneva to Stockholm (with several stops in between). This is where the fun begins. Naturally, the train is carrying a bunch of nofmal, likeable people who do not yet know of the impending doom in the baggage car, and cliche begins to set in as the characters are developed: a twice-divorced couple (Richard Harris and Sophia Loren) whose relationship is once again on the road to reconciliation; the dowager wife (Ava Gardner) of a wealthy arms manufacturer and her emasculated escort (Martin Sheen) who also happens to be a heroin smuggler; an elderly traveling salesman/ concentration camp survivor who eventually helps to save the day; a group of traveling American hippies who sing songs and practice free love; and O.J. Simpson, an ex-football player masquerading as an actor playing a coy who is disguised as a minister (and chasing Martin Sheen). Hoo Boy. Meanwhile, back at the International Health Organization, the head doctor (Ingrid Thulin) and an American General (Burt Lancaster again) are busy trying to decide what to do about their little problem. Having determined that the carrier is indeed aboard the Transcontinental Express, they alert the train's conductor and the local authorities, who prevent it, at gunpoint, from stopping anywhere along its route. Eventually, General Mackanzie manages to arrange for the train to continue to Janov in Poland, where an "isolation camp" is being readied. Not until the train is welded shut in Nuremburg by hundreds of American soldiers in alien-looking isolation suits do the passengers even suspect what is going on. Surprise quickly turns to horror as the soldiers board the train and the auful i revelation of the second coming of Collin's Genesis will be begat at the Aud at 8 p.m. with a trick of the tail. Tickets are $7.50 and $6.50 and available at the Norton Hall Ticket Office. truth is finally revealed, The real horror story begins, however, when the General is informed that the long-unused railroad bridge (The "Cassandra Crossing" itself) which the train is to cross en route to Janov is structurally unsound. Attempts to save the train's occupants are soon given second priority as a second, more convenient alternative presents itself: a "terrible accident" could be allowed to occur, thus leaving plague, victims, train, and all their politically embarassing ramifications at the bottom of a river behind the Iron Curtain. Elementary. Even after it is discovered that the plague may not be as lethal as had been supposed, the train is allowed to continue toward its objective, in the interest of keeping the whole event hushed up, and thereby saving face for the U.S. Mayhem ensues. As I said previously, The Cassandra Crossing holds its own from the standpoint of an "action/adventure" film, and, as such, the drama is a bit strained and predictable in places. However, director George Pan Cosmatos more than makes up for these shortcomings through the twists in his nice screenplay, and brilliant editing, both of which will keep the viewer on the proverbial "edge of his seat" all the way through the film's amazing climax. Beautiful footage of the European countryside, combined with the unsettling feeling evoked by the concept of a "train to nowhere" help make this the solidly entertaining movie that’it is. So, there you have it: two entertaining but flawed movies, each made interestingly scary by asking a question that should concern us all; who is actually calling the shots'In world politics, and to what lengths will they go to achieve their ends? Each film ends with an air of mystery, leaving the viewer with the uneasy "I wonder what happened next?" feeling, and the beauty of it is, who is to say that such events have not already occurred, here or elsewhere, without our knowledge? -John Duncan O BEER<& w 9:30 - 11:30 pm Eve.Ry Monday /Eight!

We need an administration who will work to put commuters into the appointed positions. We need an administration that will care when the parking lots are plowed and will protest strongly when the lots are in poor shape. Overall we will need an administration that is sensitive to the special needs of commuters.

The Mandatory Fee Every couple years state law requires a vote on the student mandatory fee. We are breaking our official non-partisan position which is forced on us by a ban on endorsements passed by the Senate, to urge all commuters to vote YES on the mandatory fee. This may sound strange for we have been very critical of the way the fee has been allocated. But our criticisms have always been centered on the fact that commuters don't receive their fair share. If the fee were voted down alt funding of commuter breakfasts, evening events, and the bus token project, would end along with the end of The Spectrum, all clubs and organizations, the Record Coop, Birth Control Clinic, Sunshine House, NVPIRG, GAC, Legal Aid, etc. SA governmerit would all be shut down and all easy jokes aside, that would be a disaster. With no voice to represent students to the Ketter Administration we would be worse off than we are now (yes, it is possible to be worse off than we are now). We urge every student, commuter and dorm, to vote YES on the mandatory student fee. Apology Time In our last column we blamed CSEA for working to keep the University open on bad snow days. Because of this we received a not so nice phone call from a Mr. Lattimer of CSEA who claimed that CSEA did not want UB opened and that they had worked hard to close the University. Apparently our information was wrong (although it remains to. be seen how hard CSEA worked to get UB closed. If they were working that hard they were very ineffective.). In any event we extend our deepest apologies to CSEA for our unjust remarks and we will try to be more careful in the future. However our concern for the safety of commuter students forced to drive in extremely bad weather remains. Perhaps the best strategy for not only CSEA, but students and faculty would be to refuse to report to classes and for work on bad snow days. Then Dr. Ketter and Dr. administrating themselves.

Friday, 25 February 1977 Prodigal Sun �Spirit.Future Games (A Magical-Kahauna Dream) (Mercury) Imagine yourself sitting down at a Hawaiian Luau, being entertained by dancers in long grass skirts, then being whisked away to the far corners of the galaxy abord the Enterprise, engaged in fierce combat with a Romulan starship, then roaring down the highway in your rig, with your "good buddy Salty Dog," then dancing the "Freakout Frog" with the Kermit on Sesame Street. Well, it's all possible after just one listen to the Spirit album Future Games,. Randy California and company have put together one of the more unusual albums of this new year, by combining the themes mentioned above into a coherent (coherent?) musical composition. The individual songs are fused into one continous side of music through the use of taped television dialogues from the series "Star Trek" and from reruns of old horror movies. At points this begins to interfere with the Spirit, total effect of the music. Upon first listening to the album, one wonders whether the effects were recorded to enhance the music, or vice-versa. Picture yourself listening, trying to understand the significance of the lyrics when all of the sudden, Kirk and Spock fade in to interrupt your thoughts. It takes a few listens to catch onto tile coronation between the songs and the effects used, and by then you will either say that the album is sheer genius, or that it could be used as background music for a movie about the thoughts of a psychotic killer. The use of such effects reminds of recent Pink Floyd compositions, in which that group used dialogues from British television to enhance their themes of paranoia and insanity. If you can wade through all of the extraneous bullshit and aet down to the music, you may wonder why Spirit included these effects at all. There ar.e many fine recurring musical themes throughout the album, with cuts of previous songs showing up from time to time in the latter songs. Guitarist California and Spirit member Ed Cassidy are responsible for writing most of the material on the album, with the group borrowing some ideas from Jimi Hendrix resulting in a synthesized version of Bob Dylan's "All Along The Watchtower." The best material on the albums are those pieces which incorporate California's piercing guitar, with synthesizer and a synthesized bass providing the foundation. In songs such "Detroit City" and "Freakout Frog,” the group deviates from their usual sound, taking on a bluesy feel in the first, and a more humorous and lighter side in the latter. California's vocals are clear and strong, and it is a pity that the lyrics can't make the same claim. The lyrics are very incoherent and illogical, and even stupid at times. A'good example of this is the lyrics from "Jack Bond Speaks:" When they dropped their death wish on the shore The sounds of panic, no mercy filled the air Chinese babies He dead on the other side And the next day we bought Datsuns andSonys And the next day we bought Datsuns and Sonys It is ironic that most of the album is based on Star Trek, because the illogic of the lyrics would have surely turned Mr. Spock's stomach. Well, to sum it all up, the album would be the perfect thing to listen to if you wanted to ensure permanent brain damage while tripping on acid, because while the music is first rate, the effects, ovydubs, echoes, etc., create an atmosphere of mild Richard Procassini i n sa n i ty. » — RECORDS Freddie Hubbard, Here to Stay (Btuenote) One of the more recent releases of vital American music in the Blue Note Re-Issue Series, this double album exgibits trumpeter Freddie Hubbard during part of his most inspired period the late '50's and early 1960's. The years 1961 and '62 of these recording sessions coincides with Hubbard's 2'A year apprenticeship with Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers. He hooked in with Blakey in 1961 and set out on his own in 1963%. previously The unreleased 1962 session contained on the first two sides includes three of Hubbard's fellow Messengers during this time. Notably Wayne Shorter playing tenor saxophone, Cedar Walton on piano, bassist Reggie Workman, and to fill the quintet, Philly Joe Jones on drums.

The explosive drumming of Philly Joe propels the quintet ahead while the activity of bassist Workman and the intuitive note placements of Walton's piano contribute to the rapid pace of the music. Calvin Massey's piece of beauty, "Father and Son," unfolds into some walking improvisation, further displaying the tight interaction of the rhythm section. Wayne Shorter's melodic harmonic explorations are not as evident on this session as on some others made around this time, although he does develop a few good solo ideas on this album. Shorter sensitively introduces the American classic "Body and Soul" as Hubbard proceeds to handle the ballad confidently with his warm sound. Philly Joe Jones digs down and comes up with some hard driving drumming to launch "Full Moon and Empty Arms." The use of triple meter on "Nostrand and "Assunta," Fulton” and composed by Hubbard and Calvin provide Massey, respectively, bases for prpvocative improvisation by all the soloists involved. The reissued 1961 Hub Cap sessions covering sides 3 and 4 places Hubbard in the same context as in Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers with the addition of trombonist Julian Priester. The rhythm section remains the same, with the exception of Larry Ridley, who replaces bassist Along Workman. with the exchange of Wayne Shorter for the be-bop based tenor saxophone of Jimmy Heath, these personnel and instrumentation changes alter the texture of the music considerably. The larger ensemble sound seems to make this a more inspired performance than the previous, particularly firing up the fire of drummer Jones. The third side begins with the ensemble theme of Hubbard's encompassing Cap," "Hub energetic by solo ventures Hubbard, Heath, Priester, and Walton. The sorrowful sound of Randy Weston's "Cry Me Not" uses the horns to compliment Hubbard's emotional outbursts and is followed by the pleasing rhythms of melody in "Luana," a Hubbard composition, to finish off the side. "Osie Mae” firmly flows forward as Philly Joe plays a strong Blakeyesque fhythm that sets up equally strong soloing from all involved. "Plexus," a piece by pianist Walton, soars upward, propelling Hubbard to some outer limits, with Philly Joe sticking ;to his ass all the way. "Earmon Jr.” another composition by the trumpeter, provides music on the same consistently cooking level. It's a pleasure to listen to Hubbard at his best after hearing his questionable musical attempts of late. This album displays Freddie Hubbard at his finest.

To actually defeat four varsity teams was a satisfactory accomplishment for this year’s track and field organization which has been demoted to club status. Leading the Bulls in their scoring efforts was senior Walter Haladay who placed in two events. Haladay captured second place in the 35 pound hammer throw with a 4U10” performance and took sixth place in the shot put with a 43’10” heave. In the 50 yard dash senior Paul Kubicki survived two qualifying heats before unleashing a 5,8 effort that was good for fourth place. Strong mile relay Buffalo’s mile relay team consisting of freshmen Mark Hines and Bob Reiss along with veteran trackmen Greg Willis and Pete Schiffler easily won its heat arid finished third overall. , One of the bright spots of the meet for the Bulls was the performance of Senior distance runner John Ryerson. Ryerson entered the mile run and strided across the finish line in 4:37, a good clocking on the irregular Rochester track. His time was good for third place overall. Ryerson came back later to take fifth qi the 2-mile run with a 10:05 time. In the quarter mile run, the Bulls had a fine scoring effort completely nullified by a questionable call by the officials. The incident occured when Buffalo’s school record holder in the event, senior Joe Woroby, was disqualified for breaking for the pole (i.e. leaving his lane) too soon, although Buffalo coach Walter Gantz felt that Woroby still ran the required distance, Woroby otherwise would have taken third, while teammates Willis, Reiss and Scfiiffler took fifth, sixth and eighth place respectively. Gantz was neither pleased nor displeased with his team’s performance. “This team has not been able to work out,” said.Gantz "The big value of this meet is that it showed the team where it stood Now they know what they have to do The Bulls will try to do it tomorrow when they send 20 men to face the powerful teams of Alfred and Mansfield State at -Alfred’s indoor track facility.

In addition, Stephens, Canisius’ quicksilver guard, was penetrating Buffalo’s zone. easily against Stephens scored nine points and dished off for five assists bf halftime. Buffalo shifted to a defense (the t ri angle-and-two forwards and center play a zone, play guards the while man-to-man). “We wanted to put pressure on their guards while our big men stayed back to protect the backboards,” Richardson said. The strategy had mixed results, as Stephens could no longer penetrate (he had zero assists’ in the second half), but the Griffins were able to get open shot after open shot, hitting on 74 percent of their second half field goal attempts. George Cooper led Buffalo with twenty points, while Dave Spiller and Stephens had seventeen for Canisius. Jones also had seventeen for the Bulls. Richardson, like the rest of his team, was happy with the win, but put the game into perspective. “We‘ve still lost nineteen games, regardless,” he said.

The Griffins scored a 33 point win last year so Buffalo was looking for revenge. Pellom described his attitude before the game as revengeful. “1 just wanted to beat Canisius,” he said. “We owed them one from last year.” hot outside Jones, whose shooting (7-for-l0) and strong offensive rebounding kept Buffalo in the game, also was psyched for Canisius. “1 really wanted this the senior forward said. game been “I’ve here four years and we haven’t come close to beating them present Good Seats Still Available From the way the Buffalo basketball team celebrated after they had defeated Canisius 78->77 Monday night, one would never suspect it was only the team’s fourth victory of the year. The reason the team was so happy was that it was more than just a normal victory. For one thing, Buffalo finally showed that it could perform in the clutch. Throughout most of the year, Buffalo either made costly mistakes in tight games, or collapsed altogether, so when Canisius took a ten point lead into the final three minutes, the situation looked rather hopeless for Buffalo. Then, Bulls guard George Cooper hit a bucket with 2:45 left, and Canisius tried to stall. They turned the ball over, and Cooper hit a freethrow. Buffalo’s Donald Scott hit a long jumper, teammate Mike Jones hit two freethrows and Buffalo was down 76-73 with 1:36 left. Scott stole the ball from Griffins’ guard Rene Stephens and fed Buffalo center Sam Pellom who was fouled. Pellom hit one freethrow, and with only 32 seconds left, Pellom hit a jumper to tie the game. John Sommers scored one freethrow for Canisius, Buffalo, without any and timeouts left, hurried the ball upcourt. Scott missed a long but Mike Jones jumper, rebounded. Jones’ shot was off, but Pellom was alone at the left of the basket and softly banked the rebound in, with five seconds left, giying Buffalo the win.

There was one abstention. The voters in opposition apparently based their disagreement on the date of the referendum some felt that more time was needed to educate graduate employees as to the issues, and supported an April 14 voting date, just after spring recess. No voices were raised in opposition to a referendum as such. The purpose of the referendum, whose exact wording will be determined next Sunday, is tq determine graduate student employee sentiment with regard to a strike that would attempt to shut down all University activities until satisfactory negotiations with the Union have been carried out. — Intercollegiate champs Wrestling Bulls capture title by Marshall Ros<^|)^l Spectrum Staff Writer After two days competition at the of intense New York State Invitational Tournament in Canton, Buffalo’s wrestling Bulls emerged as'the New York State Champions for Intercollegiate 1977. Led by coach Ed Michael, the Bulls have captured the title for the sixth time in the past seven seasons. With a dual meet record of 15-1, the host, St. Lawrence University squad, was heavily favored to win the competition, but the Bulls shut the door on St. Lawrence as well as the other sixteen opposing schools. In its bid for the number one ranking in New York State, the Bulls were able to place all ten of their grapplers in the championship tournament. Characterized as a young team since there is only one senior in the lineup, the Bulls were able to secure individual honors with two winners, first-place four runnerups, one third place qualifier, two fifth places and one sixth place winner. Oliveri drained The Bulls Tony Oliveri (118) was the first to take the mat. Seeded second in the tournament, Oliveri quite easily defeated his two opening round opponents. In the final round against Cortland’s Bob Addy, Oliveri was nipped 3-1, but retained second place honors. “I couldn’t get myself going, I was drained,” he said. He continued, “It feels a lot better winning second place this year than it did winning fifth last year as a for Fortunately freshman.” Oliveri, he has two more seasons to prove he is best in the State. (126) has Ray Pfeifer something else to prove. For the third consecutive year, Pfeifer won the title. No one in New York State history has won a title four times, and Pfeifer plans to be the first grappler in the state to do so next year. But this year, Pfeifer win among continued to controversy from coaches and officials. pinning After his initial opponent and swamping the next 14-3, Pfeifer met Cortland’s Wade Cummings. With thirty seconds left in the last period of competition and ahead 3-2, Pfeifer was given a warning for stalling. After two unsuccessful attempts at taking Cummings down, Pfeifer was called for stalling in the waning few seconds, sending the match into overtime. Pfeifer excited The excited Bull, upset by the official’s decision, quickly set out to prove his superiority. After recording a takedown, Pfeifer held on to win 3-1 in overtime. Placing sixth the in competition, Gene Tundo (142) was not the benefactor in two close decisions. Tundo was further aggravated by a knee injury which —continued on page 7 — Close vote last spring In the Union’s first referendum early last April, 308 of 564 voting graduate employees favored a strike, with 256 opposed. The Union, however, felt that at least one third (approximately 325) of all graduate student employees should vote yes before a walkout would be declared, and thus the vote fell 17 short of the necessary 325. Union member Chris Lubinski stated that the interpretation of this year’s vote will be decided at this Sunday’s meeting where the referendum’s exact wording will also be determined. Asked on what she thought the result of the referendum might be, Lubinski enthused, “We know we can get the vote out, and we’ve got a better chance than last year.” In a “Strike Committee Report,” the Union described the nature of the strike that graduate student employees will consider next month. Teaching and graduate assistants (TA’s and GA’s) are to stop “all work and academic activities” and to participate in picketing and other strike related work. Foreign graduates are to participate fully, but they will “maintain a low public profile” when made necessary by that student’s status as a foreign resident. Non-state funded graduates are asked “not to scab.” Exceptions listed are graduate employees “involved in supplying vital psychiatric and medical services” and those involved in long term research that would be irreparably set back by complete neglect. Several legal levels Also presented at the Sunday meeting was a report on the legal aspects of a possible strike. Sue Silber, a lawyer working with the GSEU, described three levels of legal ‘jeopardy’ involved should a strike be carried out. For all three, Silber seemed to feel optimistic with regard to escaping penalties should there be any prosecution. First Silber spoke of the Taylor Law, the state statute that public employees from striking. It has been the administration position to date that graduate employees are only ‘stipended, not salaried,’ therefore not being employees. Though this would exempt graduate employees from the jurisdiction under the Taylor Law, many Union members feel that the administration will nevertheless attempt to claim that graduate employees fall under it. Silber emphasized that this would be tacit recognition of the graduate employee’s right to unionize, heretofore denied by both Executive prohibits —continued on page 8— �m IONITE Wednesday i-\ DRINK n’ DROWN ‘Hearts and Minds showing 9 147 at 7:45 p.m. on The movie Hearts and Minds is being shown in Diefendorf American involvement in the Vietnam Thursday, February 24.

Nevertheless, because of an almost invisible election process, we have endorsed candidates who we feel will work long hours to restore a student voice on campus, even if that goal ■remains an illusory one. At the very least, we hope to discourage students from voting for candidates whose insensitivity, elitism and lack of knowledge would be catastrophic if they were given a mandate to serve in SA. This year’s endorsements have been made earlier than any previous year’s endorsements at the request of SA officials who felt a period of reply ought to be allowed to the candidates. All candidates were interviewed this past weekend by the Special Features Editor. Feature Edi'to, Campus Editors, Managing Editors and Editor-in Chief of The : Spectrum. President The Student Association (SA) will be undergoing a tremendous strain next year with the beginning of its move to the Amherst Campus. The candidate who most clearly indicated that this was a major priority and who demonstrated that he had already jconsidered avenues for alleviating the expected strain was Dennis Delia. For this reason, along with several others, we feel that Delia is the best choice for President. His ranking of academics as the first concern of a student government was backed by a clear understanding of important areas like the four-course load and the issue of academic freedom. He expressed a willingness and an ability to work with the Graduate Employees Student Union (GSEU), something that was clearly lacking from SA’s opinions, an action that would have to be looked into when thoroughly more one student were legitimate, his solutions were beyond belief, and for that reason we feel that Stegman could not benefit either SA or the student body. grievances Executive Vice President The Executive Vice President must exhibit a pliant, reasonable attitude, along with an ability to communicate clearly With others. Andrew Lalonde exhibits this and other abilities, and therefore would be an excellent Executive Vice President of SA. His background as Director of Academic Affairs has given him not only good understanding of the workings of SA, but also of its limitations, weaknesses and areas ‘of possible improvement. His comprehension of the four-course load and credit-contact hour debate is a definite plus and will aid in the planning of" student government policy. His willingness to take a firm stand with GSEU in and fighting cutbacks retrenchment on this campus is another asset. The aforementioned ability of Lalonde to communicate with others will lend stability to many of the chaotic meetings an Executive Vice President must chair. He indicated that he would try to prevent meetings from degenerating into shouting matches as they had this year, even if he had to adjourn and call for cooling-off periods before any business would be conducted. Scott Miller expressed a firm commitment to student needs and concerns but would not fill the position as well as Lalonde. His Although Lessoff’s knowledge of Sub Board specifics is not as extensive as is Black’s, we feel he would quickly flick up the missing pieces. Moreover, we believe that his experiences with UUAB would bring a fresh perspective to the Board of Directors. Unlike Black, Lessoff favors giving Division latitude in more Directors deciding where cuts should be made, and he does not approve of a separate summer activity budget for UUAB. He feels that Division' Directors generally do not need heavy policing. Both Dennis Black and Jeff Lessoff are qualified candidates for Vice President for Sub Board. Each was rather harshly criticized year’s election in last endorsements, but both have worked hard in the year since, and it showed. They differ in their theories as to the degree of control the Board of Directors should have, but each of their viewpoints is viable, and both candidates have impressive track records. Treasurer The Spectrum endorses both candidates for the position of Treasurer, Cheryl Williams and Neil Seiden. Both have a matqre understanding of the role and duties of the. Student Association Treasurer, and both appear to be well qualified by past experience: Seiden has assistant been Treasurer since the beginning of the year and acting Treasurer for the past two months; Williams has served in the Financial Assembly this year. Both candidates indicated their belief that the Treasurer should experience with the Senate is reflect policy formed by others considers the low level of commendable, but he does not and exert influence as a policy acceptance of SCATE on this have the full understanding of SA maker themselves. campus.

Although a — Executive Vice-President for Sub Board — Director for Student Affairs Page four The Spectrum Wednesday, 23 February 1977 . . freshman, Glauber is no stranger to ■ Student Association. , We are confident his terms on the Financial Senate, Student Assembly and Finance Committee have provided enough background and. practical experience to begin his term. While not entirely clear on his plans for Fall Orientation and other specifics of his position, he seems to possess the necessary imagination to deal with these tasks as they arise. We were impressed with his idea of placing booths on the first floor of Norton Hall to attract students who would not otherwise seek out information about club activities. Steve Ferst’s best qualification lies in his thorough knowledge of and Student the campus Association, and this knowledge would no doubt serve him weJl as we’ieef*' an SA official. this is not enough to recommend him for the Director for Student position Affairs, a where imagination, diplomacy and other personal intangibles are almost as important as practical knowledge. Like Glauber, Lori Pasternak club display friendly, pleasant a displays manner, which would make her an accessible SA officer, However, she seems to have practically no knowledge of the University and its complexities, and revealed a disturbing lack of imagi'MticJH' when presented with hypothetical student problems. We are sure her naivete is rooted in he'f inexperience, and after another year of learning her way afdiind the University, perhaps ip t.lje Student Affairs Task Force; she will be qualified to seek a position of more responsibility. Director for Academic Affairs We were not overly impressed with either candidate for Academic Affairs, and therefore hesitate to make an endorsement. Both.candidates for the position, Steven Spitz and Elsie Dubois, failed to impress us with their knowledge of academia at this University. We cannot stress the of enough cruciality educational quality at this University. But, judging by the interview, it is doubtful whether Dubois or Spitz understood its significance. On the four-course load, both candidates stated the importance of maintaining the present system without offering any qualified reasoning. Both naively accepted the four-course load as is, even though there has never been any documented evidence that confirms or even suggests its benef iciality to students. Although Spitz mentioned the two year Binghamton study — ultimately led to j the justification of 4 credits for, *96 percent of its courses he did not explain how he would conduct or contribute to a similar study here. any Dubois didn’t reveal knowledge of a study, although she did accurately discuss potential scheduling problems if class times are extended. Neither candidate discussed any trends in undergraduate which — education, even though they were continually the prodded. University Spitz felt overly did emphasize graduate courses,, but barely skimmed the undergraduate level. Dubois left us with the same impression. he The Colleges were also discussed superficially. In essence, Dubois spoke only of Clifford Furnas College of which she is a member, while Spitz literally read off a handbook List of the Colleges and their purposes. Neither discussed the original intentions of the Colleges and whether these �innovations were ever met. However, in Dubois’ candidate’s statement, she does comment on the Colleges in more explicit detail. Spitz was better prepared to answer our questions. He had obviously done more research, although it was limited in scope. We feel that he is not fully aware of the ebbs and flows of the University, and his perspective is far too narrow. While Dubois was more imaginative, she also lacked Neither practical knowledge. seemed competent to defend academic issues or pursue academic integrity a must for the position. — . Director for Student Activities and Services This year, the race for Director of Student Activities and Services is unique in that it features the candidate running for only re-election. She’s Pat Lovejoy, and we feel she deserves a second term. Though quiet and low-key, Lovejoy has a certain spunkiness in pressure situations which we find most refreshing. During her year in office, Lovejoy has steadily expanded campus activities, especially those aimed at the oft maligned commuter student, yet she is aware of the fiscal realities which make the prospects for something like varsity football rather dim for the near future. Of the other two candidates for this post, Phil Dinhofer ahd Devin Weiner, neither showed any quality which could make them more effective than Lovejoy. Dinhofer feels the University Union Activities Board (UUAB) has been paying inflated prices for entertainment, and believes that with a little “hustling” the UUAB budget could be used for more and better programming. However, his idea for finding funds for a football team is somewhat shaky. He believes that a significant portion of the funds needed could be" skimmed from the travel expenses of other varsity teams. Weiner believes that concerts, movies and other events could become income producing activities if the admissions to them were raised from nothing, in the case of varsity sports, to as high as five or six dollars to see a headline rock band. His idea to air WBFO programs in Norton Hall is creditable. Representative to College Council To rank the position of student representative to the College any order of in Council the other among importance positions would be irrelevant, but to deny its uniqueness would be ignorant. The position demands a being of capable person diplomatic with the council members because the council is comprised of some of the wealthiest and most powerful business people in Buffalo. At the same time, however, it demands a person who can stand firm on his or her convictions on students’ welfare and rights. Above all, the student representative to the Council must feel obligated to raise a hand of dissent when he or she feels that the Council is wrong in any situation or decision that directly affects students here. We endorse Cindy Whiting for student representative to the Council because she College exhibits not only a better understanding of the position than do the other candidates, but a willingness to implement this diplomatic dissent whenever she or the student body deems it necessary. Phyllis Schaffner, another for the position, emphasized that because she is as old as the council members and therefore she would not be intimidated by them. What she failed to realize is that most people, students included, are more intimidated by money and power possessed by the council members, rather than by their ages. Her years of service to students at this University would well be appreciated in other areas. Joyce Levin is nice, well intentioned and articulate, but is not forceful enough to stand firm under any kind of serious pressure. She does not feel that the possibility of a student vote on the Council is important because one vote would not make much difference in council decisions. Glen McMillan feels that the student representative should remain neutral when discussing matters with the important Council. We feel that this is a basic contradiction of terms taking a somebody because neutral stand on anything cannot truly be representative of a student bcfdy. candidate SASU delegates This year’s candidates for Student Association of the State University (SASU) delegate form an enthusiastic and competent generally strong field. The characteristics of the candidates in difficulty caused some discerning a triumverate we feel would be best suited to represent Buffalo students. Reardon, However, Clare Debbie White and Jeff -Winkler .appear to be the most prudent choices for SASU delegate. Reardon is perhaps the most impressive of the three, possessing a perspicacious outlook toward student government and a strong command of the English language. her Although articulateness should not be accepted prima facie, and she does exhibit some misunderstanding of the role of a delegate, Reardon would probably be the most suited to argue a case for Buffalo. White, an advocate of both Women’s Third World and Caucuses is equally qualified. An amiable woman w.Jiose personality will serve her well at SASU meetings, White is also insightful and aware of the reality of the times. Her statements that cuts are a fact of life and must be dealt with, conveys this feeling. Winkler, who preaches student involvement in SA§U through education, is also an excellent choice. The most prepared of all candidates, Winkler is armed with a long list of ideas to be aired at SASU conferences. Although he is wary of caucuses, we feel he could work well and profitably with White and Reardon, and their combined forces should offer students here a strong voice. While we have chosen these three as our fighting force, we by no means wish to discredit the remaining candidates, all of whom are viable and talented. Mike Schwartz, a reasonable alternative, voiced many good points but perhaps lacks some of the polish student of a required representative. Allen Clifford, who has done a creditable job as Jewish Student Union (JSU) President, preaches the strength of group effort. Alan Stein describes apathy as student government's biggest problem a valid case, but practical more he needs experience. Wednesday. 23 February 1977 The Spectrum . Page five . �Correction Guest Opinion In an article appearing in the February 18 issjue of The Spectrum the South Korean dictatorship of Park Chung-hee was incorrectly described as being supported by American corporate dollars. It should have read American tax dollars. by The Indian Student Association Well, they have done it again! The Indian Peoples Association of North America, which takes its cues from the Peking regime, is again quoting age old slogans from their little red books. This deliberate attempt at distorting facts cannot go unchallenged. Perhaps, one can forgive them as they are not in touch with Indian problems, but then again they never were! They skillfully attempt to conceal their close alliance with the infamous Communist Party of India. One can never forget their brazen betrayal during India s fight for National Independence! It is hard to believe that the same would have India’s interest at heart. While under the guise of a “progressive” and “legitimate” organization, they camouflage their real allegiance to our neighbor. Being masters of northern deception (I.P.A.N.A.) certainly should be commended for doing a professional job of slanting facts. It is time to set the record straight and put things in their proper Archie Bunker arguments To the Editor. In response to Henry Senefelder’s tirade against draft resistors (February 14th) I’d like to express a few sentiments that are seldom expressed publicly., perhaps out of a need to be polite to such people as Henry Senefelder. Senefelder brands draft resistors as leeches and spares us nothing in undermining them. But how can one really blame a person who doesn’t want to risk his life for his country? At 18, a young man has many good years ahead of him. Why should he want to put an abrupt end to them? 1 am fortunate enough to be guaranteed a draft exemption because of my height. However, if any one person told me that 1 must risk my life for him, I’d tell that person what he can do with himself. The fact that American blood was spilled and prisoners were inhumanly tortured can readily be explained. You see, Mr. Senefelder, when there is a war these things will tend to happen. Blood has also been spilled at Stalingrad and who can fprget the good Nazi soldiers who were subject to. immense torture in Russian prison campus? If, out of a debt to those Americans killed in Vietnam, we should not pardon draft resistors, then perhaps we should condemn those Germans who refused to go along with Herr Hitler, out of a debt to those poor Nazi soldiers who fell at the hands of the Allies. As for Senefelder’s attack on Carter, it’s amazing how easily one can put the shoe on the other foot. What was originally said (and 1 agree 100%) is that Nixon’s crime is a lot more serious than that of any draft resistor and, hence, if Nixon is pardoned all draft resistors should be pardoned. Should Senefelder bring up the issue of bravery, I can tell him that it takes guts for one to stand up for his God-given right to live as long as possible. People who do Ujatdespite the threat of punishment deserve special Tefcbgnition. The cowards are those who go to Vietnam to fight, kill, and die in a war that they donlt believe in. I hope this reply lays to rest any more Archie Bunker type arguments from such people as Henry Senefelder. perspective. First, let us consider the goals of their brother organization. The Naxalites, which they have defended so vigorously in their article. They are in reality a puppet organization of Communist China whose only goal is subversion and forcible overthrow of the legitimate government. To say that they are a violent organization would be a gargantuan understatement! Nobody shall forget the unleashing of terror in Bengal and Andhra Pradesh a few years ago. Through indescriminate killings, they created an atmosphere of fear and chaos in the hearts of millions.

The l.P.A.N.A. refers nostalgically to the pre-June ’75 days (before the emergency) in India when all was supposedly •'peachy.’ They fail to mention the gravity of the situation before the emergency declaration. There existed a climate of violence; disrespect for and defiance of authority and contempt for constitutional propriety was built up which could only lead to chaos and anarchy. Certain opposition parties and leaders saw in these events an opportunity to achieve results that they could not hope to gain through normal constitutional means. In light of the campaign that had been waged during which there had been repeated acts of violence and sabotage of railway and tellicommunication installations, the Government of India could no longer ignore these pointers towards chaos. The proclamation of emergency succeeded in easing the tension and restoring calm throughout the country. There was a welcome recognition of the value of discipline, hard work, administrative efficiancy and. social progress. Peace returned to the university campus. Self-appointed student leaders were deprived of their capacity to create mischief. Examinations were conducted in an orderly manner and the pernicious practice of cheating was eliminated. The Government of India was keen that the new sense of national purpose should be harnessed to 3 speedief promotion of economic growth and social justice. If they would examine facts and refrain from attacking personalities, they too would realize the truth. In attacking these needed changes, the I.P.A.N.A. reveals its true colors. It should be obvious to all that their recent outcry was a result of frustration encountered in their attempt to achieve their goals through illegal and unconstitutional methods. of New York To the Editor. This letter is in reference to the letter to the editor in Monday’s The Spectrum. The letter called the New York City students going to U.B. snobs. First of all most of the New Yorkers going to U.B. are not snobs. I have not figured out what they are but they are definitely not snobs; I grew up in New York all my life and the students at this school from New York could easily be mistaken for native Buffalonians. New York is the cultural capital of the world and aside from movies offers its people at least seventy-five other cultural events that people in Buffalo have never even heard of. I was furtunate that I did not have to grow up in Buffalo and being a New Yorker I know that you epople have missed out on quite a bit of exposure to not only cultural things but also you’ve missed out on an experience that aside from New York and maybe Los Angeles not many individuals experience in their youth. People make their own lives and just being exposed to culture does not make one cultured but it does help. If you think that the idiotic films that are shown on this campus are from New York, you’re mistaken. The truly cultural films and the new films will not be shown in Buffalo because the people who order many of the films do not want to take the chance to get these films. In Greenwich Village there is more to go and see than in the entire county. Many people complain about the late night life in New York and the rush, rush all the time. I love the rush, rush of New York rather than the cabin fever I get up here. I am not trying to put Buffalo down but one must face facts. There are a wide variety of places anyone can live. Buffalo has its good points too. The snow is one of them and another one is Mayor Makowski. Where else would people vote for and elect such an intelligent individual. Buffalo also has a greater amount of one thing than New York. It’s rare to find out west but Buffalo, beats New York in potholes. One good point in Buffalo is the news however. ! can t wait to watch Channel 7 News this week and see how the Buffalo Sabres wives live. That should really be good. Well thats about it. Every place has both good and bad to offer but don’t knock New York because one day when you want to see what life really has to offer you you might want to go there.

With the match tied at 4-4, the two matmen squared off in Overtime. When time expired and the two grapplers once again tied, the official remained awarded the victory to Perkins. Surprised and flustered, Tundo 'stated, “Can you believe that? I should have beaten Perkins but it’s over,”- he explained. “The official awarded him (Perkins) the victory because he had an overall riding time of twenty seconds. I later found out that if he had less than fifteen seconds, I would have won.”. — Tundo disheartened Tragedy continued to follow Tundo. In his next match against Albany’s Vic Gagliardi, Tundo ended regulation time with a 13-13 tie. Once again in overtime, Tundo was disheartened. The unable was to sophomore continue wrestling because of an injury, and therefore lost the match, 4-2. “1 tried to reverse him, but he grabbed my leg and kept on pulling,” commented Tundo. “The official should have warned him (Gagliardi).

With a final score of 19-7, Martineck drained the floundering Laker. When the season first began, Martineck wrestled at 150 but eventually moved back to his accustomed weight class of 167. “If 1 could have stayed at 150, I —continued from page 1— • would have had a better shot at the Nationals than I do at 167,” said Martineck. But the captain added, “By making weight at 150, I was losing some of my strongth. It was in my best interest to go back up.” can NEWMAN CENTER MASSES ASH WEDNESDAY MASSES Main St. Campus 12 Noon Room 339 Norton 7:00 pm Cantalician Center 3233 Main Street - it, brings people Miohael is correct in his assessment. Adversity has brought the Bulls together. A new wave of confidence now surrounds the Bulls of ’77. “I have confidence in myself and the rest of the team,” announced co-captain Anderson. He added, “I plan on going to Oklahoma (site of the NCAA Championships fo,r 1977), me and some of the guys have our plane and hotel reservations already. My goal is to be an All-American this year.” To reach Oklahoma, the Bulls will have to each place first or second at the Eastern Wrestling Championships next week. “Everyone is looking forward to the League Championship, that’s what counts. Em gong to win it,” commented Pfeifer. “We’re all coming together; we’re wrestling as a team, not as individuals,” explained Tundo. Mitchell added, “When one of us started doing well, everyone started to do well. Now we have momentum.” Last year, the Bulls sent only one grappler to the National NCAA Championships. This year, the team is optimistic that more Bulls will qualify for National competition. “The team has a better chance this year at the league championship,” said Martineck. “We could possibly send four guys. We’re just coming around; everyone’s getting their Junior Dave Mitchell (177) continued to wrestle ferociously as he has in his last eleven matches. Mitchell has won nine while tying one of those eleven matches. At State the Championship, Mitchell opened up the competition with a pin. He followed with victories of 3-1 and 7-5. In his final contest, Mitchell suffered a minor elbow injury which cost him the championship title, by losing 11-8 to Potsdam’s Bob Wolf. “He (Wolf) worked on my elbow pretty good,” said Mitchell, Commenting on his recent success, Mitchell stated, “1 had to do something right. Now I realize that going from junior college (o major college is tough, but 1 had to live up to the expectations of coach Michael; he didn’t recruit me for nothing.” As of late, another Bull has victory the jump'ed on bandwagon.

Coach Jane Poland looks forward to this competition with earnest, because she knows it will not be an easy win. Women’s basketball defeatsBonaventure by Jeff John Staff Writer Spectrum Buffalo’s women’s basketball team hosted a determined squad from St. Bonaventure University and gallantly fought to a 62-52 victory Sunday afternoon in Clark Hall. The game lifted Buffalo’s record to 2-7 and may well mark a Bulls’ in the turning point otherwise less than impressive season, Coming into the game, St. Bonaventure boasted a four game winning streak, which was a stark contrast to Buffalo’s own streak, a string of five losses. contest St. Before the Boriaventure’s coach, Mary Jane Telford, assessed the two teams. “f feel the teams are pretty well matched. I don’t really expect any single aspect of Buffalo’s game to trouble us especially since there is no height differential.” The Bonnies may have gone the game with more into confidence than the Bulls, but Buffalo coach Liz Cousins had a few surprises for them. Starting the game with a new lineup, and substituting Cousins freely. encouraged her team to penetrate more on offense. Gradually the Bulls began to look more and more at home on the court. The game appeared as if it would be a defensive see-saw battle until midway, through the first half when freshman Anna Eng soared high in the air to score on a lay-up. The bucket put Buffalo in front 12-9 and established their first tangible lead of the game, a lead the Bulls would not relinquish throughout the remainder of the contest. Led by the accurate shooting of co-captain Clyde O’Malley, Buffalo stretched its lead to 22-12 and went on to enjoy a half-time edge of 28-20. During the opening minutes of the St. the second half, Bonaventure . coach commented, “Buffalo is playing very well so we’ll try to go inside more. Defensively we’re going to switch to a formation where we can press sooner.” The Bonnetts’ strategy gradually paid off as Buffalo’s lead was narrowed down to 48-43 with only seven minutes left toplay. At this point Cousins called a time out. St. Bonaventure’s zone hindering was Buffalo’s press offensive patterns, so Cousins changed to counter it. The ploy worked as Buffalo surged to a 60-46 lead, during the next few minutes. The swift feet of forwards Paula Hills and Barb Fislar hindered the Bonnies’ scoring efforts while freshman Gabi Gray, sophomore Regira Frazier and O’Mauey continued to put points on the board.. Althougn out-performed at the free-throw line, a well balanced team effort enabled Buffalo to clinch the victory. “My kids really hustled today,” said Cousins. “Everybody played and We’ve overcome contributed. some problems but I’m still not happy with our defense.” The improving Bulls plan to work on defense this week in practice as they sharpen up for Four important Big the Tournament which will be held at Buffalo State this coming Friday and Saturday.

Vice-President for Assistant Finance-and Management William H. Baumer said that there will be action taken this week to change the structure of the telephone service received by student groups this week.. This week the University will begin work with the New York Telephone Company to change student group phone numbers on the Main Street Campus to the 831-5400 to 831-5599 block. Organizations like Sunshine House and the Pharmacy will still be able to receive incoming calls on their present phone numbers, because of the emergency nature of their difficulty and the services involved in informing people of their new phone numbers. The next phase of action still has not been finalized. Either all student groups will have access to one tie-line trunk line (allowing only one tie-line call at a time by all student groups) or several of the larger organizations will have phones with tie line access going through the Amherst Campus (636) exchange. The smaller organizations would then have to use for their long distance Monday, 21 February 1977 State University of New York at Buffalo 56 calling. This plan for several different allows student groups to have tie-line access at the same time while the first one does not. The Student Association will take action on the second plan and a decision is expected in the next few days. problem, Baumer The said at a meeting with student representatives last Thursday, was access to the tie-lines on the Main Street Campus. Several attempts were made to ease the problem, he indicated, including placing a 90 second limit on the amount of time a tie-line can be kept on hold and the disconnecting of tie-line calls after 20 minutes. While these alternatives are on the already being used Amherst Campus with its more modern telephone equipment, the switching electro-mechanical equipment on the Main Street Campus is not sophisticated enough to handle these service demands. Baumer said in examining tie-line usage, student groups were using the tie-lines very heavily, and that there was “good reason to believe some students were abusing them.” While no calls have been taped or monitored for determination on this campus, Baufner revealed that simply by watching the switchboard on the Main Street Campus it was determined that student groups very heavily use the service. The situation became serious enough that by the middle of the fall semester there was a need to change student access to tie-lines, Baumer indicated. He said that on some SUNY campuses tie-lines are provided only to administrators and on many other campuses only a few student groups have access, to tie-lines. The availability problem on this campus is such that the Office of the President and the Admissions and Records Office have extensions of Amherst Campus phones to guarantee the needed availability of the service. The change issue was “shotgunned” according to Baumer when the state Office of General Services found an incident of heavy tie-line abuse by at this graduate students University. A proposal Was made at the Thursday meeting to have New York Telephone monitor' the tie-line calls made from the Main Street Campus to determine concretely how many student calls are made on the line. This proposal was nixed by the telephone company, according to Baumer, because the equipment on the Main Street Campus could not readily accommodate such a service. The problem with the tie-line is not exclusively one of access; it is also one of funds. A December by circulated Vice memo President for Finance and Management E.W. Doty said that many people believe that the tie-lines are simply leased from Telephone the York New Company on a full time basis and that use in the off (non-business) hours generates no additional cost to the state. Every call, however, except those to state offices in Albany, generates a message unit or toll call charge. Baumer said that many people at this University, including staff and faculty, felt the tie-lines were the same as unrestricted local phones. This is certainly not the case, he said, adding that when to tie-line calls are made infrequently called areas they must often travel over commercial lines for a long distance and thereby incur heavy long distance charges. by Danny Parker Spectrum Staff Writer Student Thursday’s Association (SA) meeting in Farber 144 was bogged down with technical and arguments constitutional conflicts. The two issues that stirred emotions at the meeting were the demands by Donna Thompson to be reinstated as a Senator and by Ed Guity to retain his vote and position as SA Minority Affairs Coordinator. According to the SA constitution, absence from two consecutive SA meetings without proxy results in an automatic dismissal from the position of senator. missed two Thompson but consecutive meetings, contended she had a proxy present for the second meeting, and therefore should not have been dismissed. A final exam was the cause of her absence from the second meeting. But SA Vice President Steve Spiegel asserted that Thompson did not have a proxy, and therefore argued his decision not to accept her excuse was not arbitrary. Rather, Spiegel claimed,hhe was just following the rules. Guity handed in a letter of resignation approximately one month ago that was not officially accepted, and confusion resulted between Spiegel and SA President Steve Schwartz at the meeting regarding Guity’s status. Guity claimed he had withdrawn his resignation and therefore retained his position and voting rights. Athletic guarantee The greatest controversy was generated ,over a referendum proposed by members of the University Athletic Commission that calls for an allocation of funds to an Athletic Governance Board for a fixed amount over a four-year period. But the lack of a Steven Schwartz ,uorum ended the discussion, leaving the decision entirely up to Schwartz. The allocation would improve the athletic program here, and guarantee that both the University of Buffalo Foundation and the Alumni Association will also supply motley for athletics. However, questions were raised SA would concerning how account for such an allocation, how this .outlay would affect other clubs, and how the money itself would be allocated. business, other the In endorsements of SA candidates were discussed and a motion to disallow all club endorsements was passed by a 24-2 margin. Schwartz pointed out that many of the endorsements are not conducted in a fair manner and —continued on page 2— Approximately of the Company 2100 employees National Fuel Gas walked out on strike The Thursday. striking employees are represented by two locals, numbers 2154 and 2199 of last the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (AFL—CIO).

He was the specifically annoyed by implication that the survey results could be binding, although both Schwartz and Spiegel assured him this was not the case.

Frye told The Spectrum that before his vote last year, Asante had assured him he would receive his full support. However, at a faculty meeting in which Asante introduced a resolution that would allow him to pick all of the chairman for the department’s various academic committees, Frye announced that he would “resign rather than work in an undemocratic department.” Frye said that he refused to support Asante’s attempts to lower the academic standards of the graduate program and spoke out against Asante’s refusal to accept the recommendations of the departments Admissions and Standards Committee. Asante reportedly told Frye that the reason he could not support him was that his research and teaching were weak and that he was of no benefit to the department. “Why did he accept two of my articles for publication in his own journals,” Frye said. “The only reason that he not be I recommended reappointed was because I no longer supported his policies.” (NEXT TO LAUNDROMAT) UNISEX PRECISION • judgment. Faculty members charge that Asante has continually ignored committee decisions on departmental standards, and have described his chairmanship as “autocratic, creating an almost paranoid atmosphere within the department.” On one occasion involving professor, another Asante received a condemnation from the Faculty Senate for his violation of the professors’ rights. He is currently being sued for libel by that professor. An independent Personal Committee of the Social Sciences Faculty has reviewed professors both cases and recommended that they be reappointed. Provost Butler disagreed and supported Asante’s decision. original The final determination will be made by Vice President Bunn. Bunn said in an interview that he has to make decisions on specific individuals and that he must resolve some questions of the future of the department. He said that his decision would come “shortly” and that he was concerned over problems of academic standards and the overall goverance of the strife ridden department. Under President Ketter’s retrenchment policies last year, Speech the Communication Department lost one Faculty line by this coming June. Sources speculated that Bunn has many options. “He can support Asante and fire Frye and Gantz, or he can not reappoint another faculty member that Asante supported,” one individual commented.

Ultimately, this lack of a “pre-law” department can lead to much confusion about Law School requirements. The Pre-Law Society is here to help. The Society sponsors freshman seminars that explain admission requirements. Students are taught how to set up files with the University’s law professor Jerome Fink and how tp solicit recommendations from professors. Most importantly, the Society prepares them for the LSAT’s. “The society and myself are complementary to each other,” says Fink. “We’re here for a service,” comments Richard Cohen, president of the Pre-Law Society. The society prepares students for the LSAT by providing an environment similar to that of the test. Students learn their weak and strong testing points. The society has a number of projects for the next year to set in motion. Lawyers from the Erie Bar Association are scheduled to lecture on the different facets of the law profession. Another project is the publication of a handbook, compiled by University law students, that reveals their own admission statistics. Hopefully, this should save application costs. The society hopes to eventually set up community internships for pre-law students. “ STUDENT AFFAIRS TASK FORCE Meeting Wednesday, Feb. 23 at 4 pm Room 234 Norton Hall :*;3 •**v Only applies to high risks Swine flu vaccine reinstated to combat a new virus strain by Gabriele Pohlenz Spectrum Staff Writer The swine flu vaccination, which was halted on December 16 because of correlated side effects, is now back on the market. The ban was lifted after a new influenza type that has already surfaced was found to require the same vaccine used to combat the swine flu. The Victoria influenza type A is similar to the swine flu. Isolated first in Australia in 1975, it has the same characteristics as other influenzas such as muscle ache and high temperature. The incubation period, however, is between 12 and 48 very short hours. The Victoria A virus is classified as a myxovirus a kind of virus that has an affinity for mucoproteins, such as the fluids secreted by nasal, oral and respiratory mucous membranes. Therefore it spreads easily through sneezing and coughing. Another characteristic of the Victoria A virus is its ever — — SclutiimeiiteM Ski Club Announces a Winter Weekend at: STOWE Feb. 25 Dates: EARLY SEASON SPECIALS! 27 — It is changing symptoms. especially hard to Control the disease because these changes fool the immune system. Many people who were partially immune to last year’s Port Chalmers type (a different form of Victoria A) are not able to resist infections of the new type. The result can be an unexpected high mortality rate. There is one reason to fear the 1976-1977 influenza season; the major shifts occur every ten years. The last shift was in 1968, indicating that we are nearing the end of a ten year cycle. The Victoria flu killed about 20,000 people during the 1975-76 flu season. The influenza virus of 1918-19, which caused a world-wide epidemic, appears similar to the Victoria A virus. Since the 1918 virus was not isolated, there is no absolute proof that it is the same virus. However, its similarity to the 1918 virus indicates an extreme danger. At present there are two kinds of vaccines available to the public. A Trip Indues: 2 days of skiing at Stowe 2 nights lodging at the Ski Hostel Lodge Meals (Breakfast Dinner) Tax & Tips & Cost: $ 80.00 4 per. per room - $ 85.00 2 per. per room (first come first served) . 65 years and those with chornic diseases, that contains both Victoria A and swine flue viruses. The other vaccine is given to the general population and contains only the swine flu virus. The spectacular side effects of the swine flu vaccination program allegedly included the death of a number of elderly people in Pittsburgh and the temporary paralysis which helped bring the program to its end. However, Kris Young, an employee at the Erie County Office Building, stressed that the persons who died after the swine flu shot died of heart attacks which were accentuated by anxiety. “There was no real organic connection between the shot and the death of these persons,” she contended. Public Health officials have said the effects of the new program will be minimal. Until now the virus of the Victorian flu has not been isolated in Erie County. Presently, there is no acute danger, although public health officials expect some infection in the near future. The hot, dry air in many households during winter, combined with the cold weather outside, weakens the defense mechanism of the body and increases its susceptibility to the flu. At present, there is no official vaccination program in Erie County even though the moratorium was lifted over one month ago, because no single flu vaccine is available.

Environmental The regulations in question concerned the high level of noxious emission contributing to air pollution in the area. The federal Environmental Protection Agency has found the State’s plan to meet federal air quality standards inadequate. New York had already been given a two-year extension to meet federal standards that other states were required to meet in 1975. The DEC had thus proposed several modifications of existing state environmental laws, particularly the adoption of controversial Part 216. Part 216 contains more restrictive standards than current regulations of many steel and iron-making operations, stressing that the best available technology should be used in emissions control. The level of allowable emissions under present law is 0.05 grains of particulates/ft. cubed; the proposed level is 0.03. Jobs more important Afte; the DEC made its opening statement, public testimony began. Erie County Executive Edward Regan, along with deputy mayor Les Fascio, stated they opposed “swift imposition of harsh regulations that would make the Buffalo steel industry uncompetitive.” Regan stated jobs are more important than clean air, warning of the unemployment the proposed regulations would create. Raymond Gallagher, Chairman pf the Erie County Legislature, called clean air a “noble goal,” but added, “In the' rush to improve the environment, common sense has been omitted.” Roger P. Penny, Superintendent of Environmental Control at Bethlehem Steel’s Lackawanna plant, expressed fear that these regulations were only the state’s initial effort to seriously impair the steel industry. He added that Bethlehem knew exactly what the required new equipment would cost them ($18 million), but did not know what results the new equipment will Upon questioning, Penny’s produce. statement left the accuracy of Bethlehem’s test methods much in doubt. Higher priority Environmentalists did not go unheard, however. Dr. Lester Milbraith, director of the Environmental Studies Center at this University, presented the results of a survey of environmental perceptions and beliefs held by the community and its officials. The study proved that most of the public gave higher priority to the environment than to jobs, desiring a nation that consumed less and stopped growing. Dr. Beverly Paigan of the Erie County Council Management Environment described the costs of air pollution to the community in terms of cancer incidence and the deterioration of the city landscape. She found the proposed regulations, “ideally satisfactory,” and while “rule 216 won’t attain all desired levels, it should be implemented as a start.” Paigan specifically attacked Penny’s testimony for Bethlehem, questioning their use of outdated equipment, as well as the validity of their tests. After the hearing, she said to Penny, “You are the only step between us and clean air.” Repugnant Dr. Richard Tobin, a political science professor here, declared that the federal government should apply its stringent food and medicine standards to the air. He sharply criticized the anti-environmentalists who had testified earlier, describing Regan’s statements as “utterly repugnant.” Two University students, John Ziegler and Pam Gibson, testified in favor of the proposed regulations, along with several University Placement Career seminars planned by David Malat Staff Writer Spectrum slightly changed from last year’s. The groups will be more individualized, more specific with an emphasis not only on academic major but the field itself The University Placement and Career Guidance office will be sponsoring a series of career seminars next month, desigend to answer any questions a student might have about his major or professional career preferences. According to career guidance counselor Arthur Burke, basic problems and questions students have are not unique. Some of the more common problems are lack of information on careers and majors. Misinformation, an inability to market their education and even what tests they should take. “If we get a student early enough, they know of a variety of alternatives open to them and are more capable of making a decision. They need a more open awareness of possibilities in their fields,” he explained. English useful A recent College Placement Council study questioned Engineering and English majors about the relevency of their degree ten years later. The result was that the English majors found their degree more relevant than the engineers. The engineers lacked the skills needed to write up their reports, while a larger portion of English majors had skills they needed for their careers. The seminar programing was organized with information compiled by a questionaire. Entering freshman received a card in their orientation packet that asked them to respond to questions regarding their desired vocational guidance information on any field. The format for this year’s seminars will be Burke said. Last year’s seminars were conducted in three different sessions for each major. They would have a practitioner from the field one day, a graduate student the next, and finally a member of that department to speak to the students. This year, all the speakers are going to participate in the same seminar Geared to needs The Student Association pre-professional groups will be asked for help in the seminars. These people will discuss the job market situation, sources of information available to students, the minimum cumulative grade needed for a department and what a student dan do wfith a degree. As was done last year, there will be a question and answer period immediately following the speakers. The seminars are geared to freshman and sophomores, but are open to all. At the end of each session there will be an evaluation questionnaire to be completed by the participants. It is intended to serve as a guide for next year’s seminars. There are also plans to randomly select participants and interview them personally for more in-depth review and feedback. These will evaluate the content, speakers, and answers of each topic. A letter is going out to all freshmen with the seminar schedule. Resident advisors in the dorms will also be distributing them. The schedules will be posted in the departments on campus as well as the Backpage of The Spectrum and The Reporter. For further information, please contact 831-5291. / others. A Bethlehem steel worker argued against 216, saying, “We’ll take a bellyful of smoke anytime if you’ll give us three square meals to wash it down.” Another the spokesman against regulations proposed that nothing be done, lest the state implement unnecessarily harsh standards. Finally, a Lackawanna resident noted the effects of the steel industry’s emissions on breathing, health, clothing, and houses. She vividly described the “foul smelling fumes and dust” and the filth of Lackawanna. The DEC will sponsor several more public hearings across the state before deciding whether-these regulations to meet current Federal Air Quality Standards will be implemented. Leadership change key to seminar A number of important changes has taken place in the international arena since the signing of the Shanghai Communique by former U.S. President Richard Nixon, and the late Chinese Premier Chou En-lai on February 28, 1972. In China, we have witnessed the passing away of Premier Chou En-lai, Chu Teh, Chairman of the People’s Congress, and most important Mao Tse-tung, .Chairman of the Communist Party'of China. Subsequently, Hua Kuo-feng was elected Chairman of Party in October 1976, followed by a mass, nation-wide struggle against four leading members of the Pdliburo, pamely, Wang Hung-wen, Chang Chun-chiao, Yao Wen-yuan and Chiang Ching, the widow of late Chairman Mao. In the United States, Richard Nixon resigned as President, as a result of the Watergate episode, and Jimmy Carter was elected as President after his victory over Gerald Ford in the national election of November, 1976. As a result of drastic changes in leadership in both countries, a considerable amount of speculation has arisen in the United States over the prospect of normalization of relations between the two nations, Furthermore, a sizable magnitude of interest has also been aroused in this country over what has gone on in China since the passing away of Chairman Mao. Conjectures, speculations, exaggerations and even imaginations on the purge of the “gang of four” in China have manifested themselves in numerous U.S. papers and journals, which very often present grossly incorrect pictures of what is actually taking place in China. We, therefore, feel that it is appropriate at this time to convene a public seminar on recent developments in the People’s Republic. At the same time, we will utilize this opportunity to examine the possibility of normalization of relations between China and the United States.

Among the groups vying for their share of student fees returned to them in services was the commuters. Sub Board's answer was to purchase space in The Spectrum every other Friday for a commuter-oriented column, “The Commuter Viewpoint.” This space was given to the co-editors of the previous year’s commuter newspaper, Commuter Comment. Rick Birdsall and Cheryl McNerney had proven their ineptness at handling such responsibility with Commuter Comment which they used as their own personal voice to air their own personal gripes rather than as a force to make commuters aware of what services were available to them, or should be made available to them. These two people continue to waste your money by writing personal, useless drivel twice monthly in Friday issues of The Spectrum paid for by Sub Board. Commuters deserve more than this.

M. Bork Not bullpen satisfied To the Editor. Copies of this letter are being sent to over 200 alternative newspapers throughout the world. The population increase, and the continuation of the arms race demand that action be taken during the next few decades to prevent a nuclear war. The only solution to the complex problem of the arms race is social transformation. The social and economic systems must be transformed during the centuries ahead. This letter is calling for a world-wide organization to bring about this goal. The idea is to construct a new social system working within the present civilization. 1 am interested in constructing a society in the world similar to the Kibbutz Communities in Israel. My idea is for a co-ed dormitory housing about six hundred people of about the same age. Each person would have a separate room. There would be a common library and a common dining room. There would be sports facilities surrounding the dorm. Children would be brought up in nurseries or dorms near the parents’ dorm. There would be an international organization to supervise the construction. The dormitories would be located near cities so that people could commute daily for work. A portion of the individual income would be contributed to the international organization. Please reply whether or not you are interested to acknowledge that you received this letter. If you are interested, then a letter will be sent to you at a later date to acknowledge your letter and to relay information of any new developments in the organization. Robert B. McCoglan P.O.

A corollary of this, proposition is that Buffalo people are non-cultured provincials. Hence, a native of Buffalo is either condemned as a non-exotic bumpkin or condescendingly reassured that he/she is an an anarchronism that'- has Buffalonian, untypical been able to raise himself or herself to the status of being a “cultural New Yorker”. One example frequently cited for this is the lack of good movies offered at Buffalo theatres. Now that “Cousin Cousine” and “Voyage of the Damned” have arrived here, I’m sure there are a number of new movies available in New York City that allo\v chauvinists from The City to continue to assure we local’bumpkins that we are culturally deprived. Almost half of the University community is made up of individuals from the New York City area. I have never met a New Yorker who did not consider himself to be culturally superior to the “typical Buffalonian”. My question is this; Where were these culturally superior individuals last year, when good campus films, unavailable in any American public theatre, were being shown? 1 attended a good number of these- often with fellow-proVlncials, It is a known fact that SA is dominated by. out-of-town students, unhampered by the responsibilities many commuters have (home, work, etc.). One must then assume that the current garbage now being shown in campus theatres was selected by “City intellectuals.” Since September 1 have attended one weekend campus film “Steppenwolf.” As for the others, I have no interest in chain-gangs, monsters, cops-and-robbers, or Fritz the Cat. This may be due to the culturally deprived geographical area in which I grew up. It may also be due to the fact that what is needed is less New York provincial snobbery (which assumes infallibility) and more serious thought about which movies belong on a University campus.

To the Editor: As regular attenders of UB basketball games we feel we have a big complaint to make. We don’t think we’re getting our moneys worth (the games are free)’ The main reason is coach Leo Richardson. We believe Mr. Richardson is most responsible for the team’s 3-19 record. We think the reason for keeping Richardson as head coach is that the athletic department is afraid firing him would look like a prejudiced move. The team definitely has talent but it is not being used right. On the court both the offense and defense seem to have no organization. It is very rare to see an open man within 20 feet of the basket because no plays are ever called. Against Akron he had a lineup of four guards 6’2” or shorter in at one time. This might be good if he wanted to run the ball but we couldn’t do that because we couldn’t get a rebound. Againt Temple with a 3 point lead he benched his best player and hot man for about five minutes for no apparent reason. He rarely argues with an official of yells instructions from the bench and has poos judgment in calling his time-outs. Trailing 10-0 and being completely disorganized Richardson did not make a substitution or call time. Against Buffalo State, March 1, don’t be surprised if Buffalo uses a 5 guard lineup. Richard Allen Mark A. Davis SHORTAGE Andy Lipkin Don Christie The blessing of ignorance To the Editor. I was quite surprised to read H. Hausman’s letter to the editor on Wednesday, February 16, 1977, entitled, “The PLO Alternative.” It seems to me that Mr. Hausman is not only a frustrated individual, but also suffers from a weak memory and historical distortion. Of all the issues that are facing the American people at this point, he could not find any of them worth writing about, so the PLO became the subject of his frustration. He cited all the colonial powers and their institution at the time, the League of Nations, in proving the legitimacy of the creation of the state of Israel. By his logic, he tried to cancel any national, political, or civil rights to the Palestinians. On the other hand, he tried to prove that the PLO or the Palestinian peoples’ claim to those rights is a negation of Israeli rights. What a contradiction!! He went even farther by quoting a non-existing Lebanese newspaper, and by inventing a name “Al-Anwar.” He hoped that at least the misinformed reader would be able to enjoy the blessing of his ignorance.

Monday, 21 February 1977 "tiitT �Hockey Bulls sweep twogame series by Larry Amoros Special to The Spectrum • Although the Buffalo hockey Bulls won a weekend series from Lake Forest College this past Friday and Saturday, the two games were a study in contrast. The Bulls won the opener, 6-5, when Ray “Tuffy” Gruarin scored with four seconds remaining in regulation time, to foil a heroic comeback by the Foresters. The second game was over in the first period, as Buffalo scored four times before Lake Forest tied their skates. Not knowing what to expect when the Foresters arrived at the Tonawanda Sports Center on Friday night, the Bulls weren’t sure what type of offensive and defensive styles to utilize. When the game started, however, it appeared that any style would do. Buffalo’s Jack Kaminska tallied with just 39 seconds gone, and linemate Rick Costello added to that six minutes later, taking a Gruarin pass off a two-on-one break, and drilling the puck behind goalie Buddy Fauteux. Jon Pratt scored for the 10:15, but at Foresters defenseman Carl sharpshooting Koeppel brought the Bulls’ lead back to two, when he rifled a power play slapshot into the net with 2:48 remaining in the period. Damaging injury Only two major incidents cocurred in a relatively quiet second period, although one of them may have been a factor in the final frame. Koeppel popped in another goal for Buffalo, but more importatnly one of the Foresters players sustained an injury, and seemingly sparked a light under the wilting Lake Forest candle. Buffalo’s Costello was charging up the left side of the ice after feeding the puck to a breaking Gruarin when he collided with the oncoming Bart Osgood of Lake Forest. Costello’s stick caught Osgood in the face, and the freshman winger went down to the ice. He lay motionless for nearly three minutes, before leaving for the hospital with a cut-up eye and nose. “I had just received a pass, and Tuffy was breaking up the middle,” explained Costello. “We hit as I let the puck go. It was unintentional. 1 was defending myself. I mean what do you do when you see someone charging at you? You defend yourself.” Although the play itself was purely accidental, when the third there was period opened something very deliberate about the Foresters’ play. They scored three times within one minute and four seconds, and the score was knotted at five with under a minute to play. Clutch goal It appeared that the game would go into overtime. But Tony Vesona’s hip check broke up a play in front of the Buffalo net with about 25 seconds left, and right wing Stu Campbell came out of the zone with the disc. He fed Kaminska breaking up the left side, who in turn found Gruarin cutting towards the Lake Forest net. With just four seconds remaining on the clock, Tuffy fired one through Fauteux’s pads, and the Bulls came out with the 6-5 victory. While it was Costello’s contention tha the injury to Osgood may have had something to do with the Lake Forest comeback, Buffalo assistant coach Mike Kelly had a technical explanation. “The defense was getting caught at the blueline,” said Kelly. “One man would get caught in deep with the other man at center ice, and bang, it’s in! It’s not that we weren’t doing the job, it’s that wasn’t done it completely.” Did the Bulls come into the game overconfident and perhaps underestimate the Foresters? “No, 1 don’t think we underestimated them. We knew they’d be a hard hitting team,” said the hard hitting Campbell. “They’re the first team to put a lot of pressure on us in a long time, we were kind of out of practice (in pressure games).” “We went out there very loose,” commented Costello. “We were loose but played well in the first. I don’t know what happened between the first and second periods.” According to Wright, that was a vast something improvement in the 1977 Forester skaters. “They are an improved club, but we didn’t know how much. I’d say that they’re 20% better than Oswego,” said the Buffalo mentor. “Lake Forest started the motor going out there.” ” A romp On Saturday there was no question as to which team was loose, improved, or running the motor. The Bulls were in the driver’s seat from the opening sportsqmz This week’s Sportsquiz is not recommended for mere amateurs. So don’t be disillusioned if wrong answers come your way. 1.

Mike Dixon and Ron Reisweber each had two goals for the Bulls, while Paul Pitman had a goal and three assists on the Buffalo back line. John Moore picked up his first shutout of the season, as he hendled 23 shots without a miscue. The most noticeable event of the evening, however, was a brawl between Chris Bonn and Tom Zweber of Lake Forest at 18:48 of the third period. The game had gotten chippy and scrappy once the Foresters realized that they were out of it, and things came to a head in the closing minutes. The play began when Buffalo’s five-foot-eight-inch center Frank Anzalone ran into some trouble with Zweber in front of the Forester bench. As Anzalone told it, “This guy, started bull-shitting with me, so the ref pulled me away. Bonn came in and got all cut up. Fireman (Bonn) showed me something by helping me out. Those guys would’ve eaten me up.” According to Bonn, someone pushed Anzalone from behind, so Bonn back. him pushed “Sometimes I just see red out there, and have to swing,” Bonn said. •Punching, rumbling, or skating, the Bulls totally demolished the Foresters. There were many reasons for the differences in the two games, and everyone had their own thoughts as to what those reasons were. Anzalone credited the penalty, killing of Brien Grow and Eddie Patterson, Moore felt it was an overall team effort, and Wright credited better forechecking and backchecking as the key. But Buffalo’s quotable coach saved the best for last. “The best difference,” said Wright, “was the score.” INTRAMURALS by Don Weiss Spectrum Staff Writer intramural The basketball schedule continues this week with some inportant games in the A league The Omen, in first place at 5—2 goes against Slombas, in third place at 4-2. Scott Minchman leads The Omen, who are coming off a close victory over the Social Forces this past week. Slombas, led by Steve Allen and Tom Romano, beat Captain Noodle (0—7) by one point last week to keep them in the race for first place. Also this week, Captain Noodle plays Chauncey Street, who are tied for first place at 5—2. Chauncey Street is a much improved team since early season. 6’2” forwards A1 Alperin and Dave Cichon lead the team which gpes into this game with a three game winning streak. In a big game last semester, Alperin scored 16 points to lead his team over The Omen. Eddie Rogan and Ricky Luft are also key players for Chauncey Street. In the third game Monday night, Murray (4-2), with Phil Procter, plays the Social Forces (2-5). Wednesday’s teams On Wednesday night, in a battle for first place, B.S.U. (5-2), plays Lippes Loop (5-2). B.S.U., with Gene Henderson and Otis Horne, are coming off a loss to the Converse All-Stars for the second time this year. The All-Stars (4-3) were led by the foul-shooting of center Roger Herman, and the scoring of guard Mark Golubow. Also starting in the backcourt is Richie Spinner, who takes over for the departed Hall “Foots” Tennin. Lippes Loop comes off an impressive win over Code 5 (3—4). The Loop is led by Jim Randall Jim both Slayton, and year’s ex-members of last championship intramural team, the Heads. Code 5, the leading defensive team in the division faces Flashbuck (4—3). Last week, Flashbuck beat the Boss Players by two points as center Steve Weiner scored 15 points, most of them in the second half. Steve Silber and Brian McCann scored 14 points each with newcomer John Trigillio adding 8 points. The Boss Players are a new addition to the league, after playing in the Sunday B league last semester. They feature former varsity player Ron McGraw. Thursday night, Wesley Wild Bunch continued its winning ways with its seventh straight viqtory. WWB is led by guard Rick Anthony, who has helped make his team the highest scoring team in the division with a 56.4 points per game average. This week, the Wild Bunch plays the Heads for first place. The Heads seem to be the only team able to challenge the Wild Bunch. The Heads feature guards Jim Corigliano and Tom Logan, and 6’8” center Ron Dahms. A new team to this division is Blue, a former B team. In the backcourt for Blue is Danny Zahn and Miguel Ramos, with George McGinnis and Julius Erving coming off the bench.

Buffalo vs. Canisius losers battle it out by Paige Miller Tonight the basketball Bulls will take on Main Street rival Canisius in their second Big Four contest of the year. And the match, which will begin at 8 p.m. at the Koessler Athletic Center, figures to be quite even, since the two teams have nearly identical, (albeit horrible) records: Buffalo is 3—18, while Canisius is 2—19. Canisius picked up their second win of the year Wednesday when they upset Colgate by two. Earlier, Colgate had beaten the Bulls by eleven. According to Buffalo coach Leo Richardson, the attitude on the team is very good. “I’ve been fortunate to keep them so high,” he said. However, a good attitude cannot eliminate mistakes, and after two consecutive overtime losses in a row, little mistakes look crucial. “We have to face facts,” Richardson said. “That’s what we’ve tried to do after every game. They know what happens if they had done a would have won. Little few things here and a few things there, we things here and there have cost us games.” - Buffalo stands tall Richardson analyzes tonight’s contest as being extremely close. “We may have an advantage. We have a little more height, and more experience. They have good guards,” Richardson said. One of those guards, diminutive Rene Stephens gave Buffalo an awful lot of trouble in the team’s meeting last year (a 99—66 Griffin win). But Buffalo’s guards, Ed Johnson and George Cooper have been playing very well lately. Up front, the Griffins are led by Dave Spiller and John Sommers, both of whom had high scoring games against Colgate. Buffalo’s forwards, on the other hand, have not been big scorers all year, but both Sam Robinson, at 6—6, and Lloyd DeVaux, at 6—4 have a height advantage over the 6—3 Spiller and the 6—2 Sommers. Buffalo center Sam Pellom, at 6-8, will also have a large height advantage over anyone the Girffins decide to use. Pellom also can score against bigger centers, so Canisius may have to be very careful on defense. Buffalo students will be admitted for one dollar if they have a valid student ID card.

These elections, which will be held on March 2, 3 and 4 will choose new SA officers and decide the fate of the student activity fee. The SA Senate was scheduled to decide whether or not to also include on the ballot a question calling for a slight raise in the fee to the legal limit of $70 a year from the present $67 charge. SA President Steven Schwartz supports the maintenance of the fee at its present level even though the additional funds would help fight inflationary cost increases. But he considers it hypocritical of the Student government to fight for lower tuition while at the same time asking for raises in its collections from the students at this University. Even if the Senate decides not to include the question on a fee increase, there will be a question on whether to continue the fee at all. According to Schwartz, this is necessary because of slight changes in the fee expenditure guidelines. The SUNY Board of Trustees has mandated fee referendums every four years at all SUNY campuses, he added. Helping cooperatives Schwartz indicated that the changes in the fee guidelines were concerned .with student services. He explained that organizations like Legal Services and book cooperatives can now legitimately receive fee money. Previously, funding for these organizations was considered questionable. The mandatory fee referendum will be the third such referendum since the spring of 1971. In the previous votes, the fee was approved by wide margins. The mandatory fee monies, which total $880 thousand, are used to support SA, which in turn distributes those funds to SA clubs, special interest organizations and Sub Board. The specific allocations are determined by the SA Senate in their annual budget hearings. The $67 fee is paid directly by the student to the bursar’s office and is regarded as a University expense. The University has the option of automatically expelling any student who refuses to pay the fee without going through the appropriate waiver procedure. All candidates will be required to attend a mandatory candidates meeting this afternoon in Room 233 Norton Hall. The order of name placement on the ballot, interview schedules for newspaper endorsements and clarification of any questions or problems that might have arisen will be determined at that time. First challenge According to SA Executive Vice President Steve Spiegel, there has already been a challenge to the existing rules and procedures of the election. He said that at a Wednesday meeting of the Elections and Credentials Committee, a question concerning the acceptability of running College Council candidates on the same ballot and with the same party endorsement of the other twelve candidates was raised by David Brownstein and Jim Storms. Spiegel added that the candidate on Brownstein’s party had decided to run independently and Storms felt if the College Council representative were on the same ballot as the other candidates, daytime students would have an unfair advantage in choosing a representative over night students. Spiegel commented that the College Council representative represents all students at the school, and the inclusion v of council candidates on the ballot for the 'daytime elections might lead to a larger participation of day students in the election. The Elections and Credentials Committee ruled that the College Council candidates will not be listed on the machine ballot, but instead will appear on a seperate paper ballot distributed at all polling places. The candidates will be allowed to accept or reject party designation. Spiegel explained that because one of the announced parties had already a declared council candidate, the committee felt a change in the rules after they had already been instituted was inappropriate. The search goes onfor missin by Ilene Schweitzer Spectrum Staff Writer Thousands of cars were towed away during the snow emergency. Due to the large number of abandoned vehicles and the urgency of the. situation, the City did not have any' organized procedure for reporting to where 'the autos were towed. parked Cars in front of residential homes, and cars that were protruding put of the owner’s driveways were even towed.

That did not help the owners of these automobiles, when their cars would not start or they do not have access to a driveway or a parking lot. Cars that were towed from the University area were said to be dumped in such lots as Central Park Plaza, University Plaza, the golf course on Main and Bailey, parking lots on this campus, public school parking 15ts and even along streets that were basically clear.

Lindley Special to'The Spectrum (CPS) “About 98 percent of the Bible is bullshit,” Madalyn Murray O’Hair flatly states to a packed college auditorium in Texas. Though hospitalized with high blood pressure in 1975, O’Hair still retains her anti-evangelical zeal. Best known for her Supreme Court victory in 1963, which removed compulsory Bible-reading and prayer recitation from the nation’s public schools, O’Hair speaks at four or five colleges a month, commanding fees of up to $3000 per lecture. She is also engaged in a heated three-way race for city council in Austin, Texas, where the major issue is the city’s impending fiscal crisis. “It is extremely dangerous to have an upsurge of evangelism with Carter in the White House,” she states. “At the same time, there is an assault by the churches on — « abortion and on the Constitution. The Roman Catholics are trying to convince the legislatures from 36 states to form a constitutional convention to insert a right-to-life clause into the Constitution.” O’Hair says that five beliefs and practices have chained mankind to an “intellectual infancy: racial prejudice, violence, slavery, sex discrimination, and the idea that we’re no damned good,” which she says is the root of the previous four predicaments. Abuse of funds On a less ideological plane, she charges that churches have been abusing the government funds they have received to run community services such as old peoples’ homes, day care centers, and Head Start and similar programs. Participants in the services, she says, are overcharged as well as fed with religious propaganda. The tax-exempt status of churches, she continues, has been one factor in creating the fiscal burdens carried by cities like Austin. “I would like to know why the churches feel they have the right to ask everybody to pay for their insanity, quoted as saying in the campus paper at she Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas. A spokesman for the Catholic Archdiocese of New York characterizes O’Hair’s remarks as “nonsense, and continues that “there are a lot of people out there spouting out charges that have no basis. Rev. Dr. Dan M. Potter, Executive Director of the Council of Churches in New York City, counters O’Hair’s complaints by stating that church-run, state-funded servic s are not allowed to include any religious instruction, and that charitable institutions, including schools and churches, are considered tax exempt “under the rule which implies they do something constructive for society.” No public stance “We take no public stance on Ms. O’Hair,” Rev. Potter continues, “mainly because the more we enter into a debate with her, the more it glorifies the individual.” Despite the Council’s neglect, however, O’Hair appears to be getting a response, though it is somewhat mixed. One student at Southwestern noted that amongst those attending the atheist’s lecture there, “faces contorted, voices raised, fists shook, even threats were muttered.” “I don’t go tp a lecture that 1 don’t have a stand-up for Christ,” O’Hair retorts. “If they didn’t appear on their own, I’d have to plant somebody to make an example.” She adds that she is very popular with college audiences. Her attempts to have religion courses “thrown out” of college and replaced by atheism programs so far have been unsuccessful, but a 120-hour course, in atheism is offered at the American Atheist Center where she is based. She envisions some day an American Atheist University. She seeks no converts, however. “The Seventh Day Adventists can stay where they Slavic culture symposia Yesterday marked the first day of “Slavic Cultures.

One proposal to be brought up and decided upon at the meeting will call for voting by graduate employees on March 14 to 18. “We think it will win,’ was the sentiment of most union activists. “Graduate employees know their situation is bad and getting worse.” Should the proposal carry, a strike would presumbably begin shortly thereafter, more than a week before the start offspring break, and almost two months before the end of the semester. Last month, the Union had sent Acting President Albert Somit a package of sixteen demands along with a letter demanding an administration response and negotiations with the GSEU. Received on the very last day of the Union’s deadline, Somit’s response indicated that his administration was willing “to discuss these [the 16 demands] and other matters of concern to graduate students.” Union sources called the response “a nothing letter,” explaining that Somit’s position was no different now from last semester.

Stnuneyer Spectrum Staff Writer With a little bit,of luck, construction on the Health, Physical Education, and Recreation Building on the Amherst Campus will begin in April 1978. The facility will be built in two stages Phase I, the first part of the gym to be built, will include a ten thousand seat field house, seven handball courts and some locker room facilities. Also included in this half of the project will be wrestling and therapy areas and some faculty offices and classrooms. The project has been delayed for a number of years by architechtural errors, lack of money due to the State’s fiscal situation and continuous cuts in space. Many of these cuts were due to an error in the ratio of space for inside facilities, to the total amount of space approved for the entire project. — „ More cuts made University administrators and local political officials resisted these cuts and tried to find alternate means of alleviating the space problem, but again, due to the poor financial situation of the state, cuts were made in the building the course of the last year, Student Athletic Review Board Chairman Dennis Delia has worked with former SA President Michelle Smith and current SA Vice President Steve Speigel in an attempt to get construction underway. Delia and Smith compiled a report on the status of the gym which included the history of the building, its original conception in 1968, each of the many cuts made, and its present status. Armed with this information, Delia has continued his campaign to get the project underway. Last year he traveled to Albany where he was assured of a beginning date of April, 1977. Since then we has received notice of delays which put the project at its present starting date. by Tom Dowd Staff Writer Spectrum Father James P. Sinnott, a Maryknoll priest expelled from South Korea for his human rights efforts, told of his activities in that country to a small but interested audience Tuesday afternoon in Norton Hall. Sinnott’s speech was the first of a series in a human rights campaign sponsored by the Peace Center Project of Community Action Corps (CAC). by This group’s aim is to change what was described during a shown in movie a prominent Archbishop the presentation as a situation where “the state is no longer for the man, but man is for the state.” Sinnott has spent all 15 years of his priesthood in Sduth Korea, now the scene of another dictatorship. That dictatorship is headed by Park Chung-hee and is supported in part by American The movie further contended the “suspension” of rights could be justified due to the existence of a communist threat. Although South Korea is neighbored by the communist north, many experts consider an invasion an impossibility and view the Red threat as a paper tiger. In an interview with South Korea’s Foreign Minister, the BBC correspondent gave evidence of the use of torture by South Korea’s law enforcement officers on its citizens. When asked for confirmation of such actions the Foreign Minister replied: “1 don’t know if they are (tortured) they may resort to the courts.” The Supreme Court of South Korea gave the eight men a trial of ten minutes, according to Sinnott. corporate dollars. According to a BBC correspondent featured in the film, the Park regime “is supported 38,000 American troops.” The movie, entitled Anno Domini was made by the BBC and was shown against the wishes of both the BBC and Time-Life, the copyrighters Sinnott reasoned the reason for this restrictiveness may have been pressure from the South Korean government on by the two corporations. The film vividly portrayed the South Korean scene and featured interviews with Sinnott and his associates, who were close friends of eight men murdered by the regime in April of 1975. At that criticizing the time the decree stating anyone government would be put to death, and Sinnott was expelled. At the time press releases reported the but eight murdered men to be accused communists, dictatorial Park s they opposed according to Sinnott powers. __ on Catholic opposition f because, according to Sinnott, at the time most of were jailed.” Protestant ministers the Commenting on the existence of freedom of religion in South Korea, he remarked, “Park says he allows freedom of religion, and frankly we take advantage of it.” Catholic priests have formed an association against Park’s government and meetings are held in the churches while the KCIA (the Korean CIA) takes notes in the back pews, Sinnott said. Why is the aid from the U.S. still pouring into ten Sinnott, to According Korea? South were in discussions balked when congressmen progress concerning the reduction of aid to South Korea. Sinnott claimed the congressmen argued South Korea is our last bastion of defense against communism in Asia. “Now,” Sinnott said, “eight of the ten congressmen are being investigated for being The film centered ‘ on the take.” Sinnott is in the United States “talking myself hoarse about the gross injustices in South Korea.” He looked tired as he explained how helpful it is to write to one’s congressman. “I’ve been in Washington long enough toknow that,” he said ' Letter writing Complementing Delia’s efforts are those of Speigel who started his own letter writing campaign. Speigel wrote a letter to Governor Carey expressing the great need of of the proposed gym at this University. In addition, he sent a copy area their seeking this letter to a large number of legislators from this support for the project.

He feels that the assurances he has received from Albany, as well as from Facilities Planning Vice President John Telfer, will actually hold true this time. Telfer stated in an interview that he was also optimistic that construction will start on Phase I in April of next year. He said that this is contigent upon the passing of the budget for the next fiscal year. He also was reasonably sure that no further cuts in the facility will be made. to begin At the moment Phase II of the gym is scheduled begun. first is phase after the construction approximately one year construction Facilities Planning, of According to James Rozanski the should take about thrae years for each phase.

Since its inception and rise to prominence more than a century ago, the American Medical Association (-AMA) has kept a vise-like grip on virtually all issues dealing with health care in this country. Sporting superior organization and the most effective lobby in Washington, the AMA has played pivotal a role in keeping" physicians’ incomes among the highest in America. Numerous programs which the AMA has opposed went on-to become successful. It has lobbied against federal aid to medical students, fought American Cancer Society’s free cancer clinics, objected to veterans health care benefits and discouraged free veneral disease clinics. The AMA has helped to defeat every slide of National Health Care legislation ever to 'be served up to Congress. Today U.S. is the only advanced nation in the world lacking a national health Jhe plan. Self-perpetuating trustees At the initial gathering of the Association in 1848, President. Nathan Chapman proudly spoke: “This assemblage presents a spectacle of moral grandeur that is delightful to contemplate.” One hundred years later Harry Truman would call it, “just another mean trust.” Structure of the AMA is pyramidal. It is a federation of 54 state and territorial associations composed of aver 1900 county medical opinion of themselves, and think they know all there is to know about the healthy care needsvof this country.” exalted societies.' Without membership in a county society, a doctor would find it nearly impossible to obtain hospital privileges purchase and to malpractice insurance., If he wished to specialize it would be difficult to get accredidation. Referrals from other physicians would disappear. In Buffalo, radiologist Dr. Angelo S. D’Eloia incurred the wrath of the Erie County Medical Society in 1962 by publicly supporting “My Medicare. practice just disappeared,” he related. “As a radiologist 1 was dependent on referrals from other doctors and they just stopped Quasi-legal accredidation agency To its credit the AMA has done a commendable job of imposing standards of medical education. It disseminates important scientific suddenly.” Membership in the county medical society usually precludes membership the state in association and the AMA, running annual dues to over 200 dollars. Appointed committees from the county society select a slate of county delegates who select the state officials, who select the 234 national delegates. The national delegates nominate the president and the 15 member boatd of trustees. Since the national delegates meet only twice a year most of the power is concentrated in the hands of the board. AMA critic Dr. John Adrian! has seen flaws in this, saying, “the biggest problem with the AMA is that it has a self-perpetuating body of trustees, who have an John Naughton information through its various publications, and has aided in exposing medical quackery. But in the past 40 years the main thrust of its activities has gradually shifted from scientific matters to fierce defense of the profession’s pecuniary interests. In recent times the public and many individual doctors have become dissillusioned with the AM A and its reactionary stands. Today, fewer than half of the country’s physicians are dues paying members. Nevertheless most still belong to their county medical’ societies and indirectly support the AMA. The medical control schools thus AMA’s influence on the profession begins with its over the 113 medical throughout the nation. This life-giving power stems from the Association’s quasi-legal status as an accredidation agency. Nineteen states rely exclusively on AMA standards, with most others adhering closely to them. The AMA also sets standards for “These policies. admission standards, of course, fix the quality of medical education, but they also indirectly determine the size of classes in each school,” says the Yale Law Journal's report on the AMA. AMA control of doctor supply has historically been more direct. During the Depression, when physicians’ earnings fell, the Association urged medical schools to adopt more restrictive policies. The AM A Journal called for “professional birth control.” The Association president in 1934 piece advised, “a fine of educational work could be well done if we were to use only half the 70-odd medical schools in the United States.” Enrollments everywhere dropped. subsequently Urgent and critical need Effects of this policy hit home in the form of a critical doctor shortage which began in the 1940’s. The AM A consistently denied the existence of a shortage. When empirical evidence became overpowering, it claimed the problem was in the distribution of doctors and not their number. Yet, the AMA characteristically fought any government interference into the distribution dilemma. The shortage worsened and in 1960 President John Kennedy that to keep the already low proportion of doctors constant, twenty medical schools would have to be opened within ten years. In 1968 the AM A finally conceded, there was an “urgent and critical need for more physicians.” announced To insure new doctors go where they are needed. Congress passed the Health Professions Assistance Act of 1976. The act provides for educational subsidies to doctors who set up practice in urban and rural poverty areas. If they continued serving in those areas, the physicians would then be eligible for additional subsidies. Another section of the act forces universities into directing interns towards specialties where doctors are needed. If by 1980 50% of a university’s interns are not placed in these specialties the school will risk losing federal aid. John Naughton, dean of the school, SUNYAB medical informed 'The Spectrum that medical schools are now graduating twice as many doctors as ten years ago.The impact of these graduates should be felt around 1980. “The need is for physicians who are willing to go into family medicine areas,” Norton said. “The issue is not ‘specialization vs. non-specialization,’ but kinds of things doctors specialize in,” he continued. A similar program in teaching has improved the quality of primary and secondary education in poverty areas. The hope is that the new program will have the same effect on health care.

So far, there has been ample justification for such actions. The University administration continues to evade discussion with GSEU representatives on the issues which affect graduate students. Although a strike is not a pleasant alternative, there appears to be no other way. The formation of the support committee is undergraduate of Abu Daud welcome, as many undergraduates are not familiar with the difficulties facing graduate students and the seriousness of GSEU's position Boring fee referendum The mandatory student activity fee is the most boring, but important issue in SUNY In just a few short weeks, students will be asked to decide through a referendum vote whether they wish to In a letter appearing in The Spectrum on Feb. 14, 1977, Daniel Leivant has found it very offensive that a swastika was used to represent the policies of present day France, but was not perturbed in the slightest, by the release of a man who was being held for masterminding the massacre ,of twelve Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics. His reasoning that Abu Daud should be released because as he states, “The German police incited by the Israeli government started a massive shooting” is a nonsequitur to the Nth degree. This was by far -not the first or the final time that the Israel government has had to deal with “Palestinian” terrorists that have continuously citizens. livqs of Israeli threatened the Unfortunately, Israel’s hard line policy against terrorists is obviously not adhered to by other countries, finance being a prime example. Obviously this particular country feels that Arab oil money is an excellent substitute for something called justice, the last inkling, of which left France with Daud when he was freed without any legal proceedings brought against him. Look how easily people forget the need for a strong and secure Jewish homeland. If one had existed in the 1940’s possibly millions of people years, or hold on to the money and put it to better use fee totals about $880,000 each year activity The Because the University may expel those who refuse to pay it certain death after not being allowed entrance to numerous countries who had no sympathy for their incredible plight. Remember, Mr. Leivant, that in 1948 the Arab people who were living in what is now Israel would not sign a secular agreement to partition two separate states, because then as is the case now these people do not care to recognize the existence &f a Jewish state. We feel that the common sense of the readers of Mr. Leivant’s letter was insulted and not those educated by the cartoon in question. How can anyone term the Israeli-Arab citizenry as being under a “brutal occupation” when it is a documented fact that these people in Israel have a higher standard of living than a vast majority of their brothers in neighboring Arab states. At least these people have the opportunity to a productive life while thousands of “refugees” still sit festering in camps that have existed for three decades in Arab states which are their homelands. If it werf not for people like The Spectrum editors who are capable to see through the appalling amounts on incongruities that have surrounded dealings with such terrorists we feel that the phrase “human being” would have lost all itsjpeaning. < Danny Greenstie « Mark Siev Better stay inside To the Editor.

Frassetto studied to be an actress, and as an off-shoot of these studies she joined the Ray Bosier Mime Company. Two years later at a mime festival in Rome she met the other two. Excited by their exploration into new realms of Mime, she saw in their art form an escape from classical Mime. The two men were equally impressed by her performance, and, realizing that they needed a woman to perfect their act, asked her to join. Those who attended the performance of Munnenschanz, the Swiss Mime-Masque Theatre, with the preconceived notion of a white-faced Marcel Marceau styled show, were in for a big surpirse. Andres Bossare, Bernie Schurch, and Fiorina Frassetto have broken through the traditional barriers of conventional mine, dazzling their audiences with a style all their own.

On the latter, Clemons devastated the audience with his climactic sax solo, repeated almost exactly as it was heard on the album. Roy Bittan also deserves much credit for his delicate piano work on this piece, as well as on the frighteningly dynamic "Thunder Road", my own personal favorite from the night's set. The much-requested "Rosalita" featured an interesting the twist halfway through standard bar-band routing of "singer introduces band member/ singer riff/ plays member — introduces next member." Clemons then halted the rest of the band, consulted each other in mock whispers for 10 or 20 seconds, and with the rest of the band entering exactly on cue, blazed Springsteen and into the final refrains of "Rosie."

Chivalry is far from dead. . . In a sense, this film works very well, since the stilted, primitive dialogue and episodic quality are perfectly reminiscent of the Medieval romance it is trying to be.

Cousin Cousine has gained itself a Best Screenplay nomination, which it shouldn't win, but it should win the Best Foreign Film award.

Everywhere else, though, it shows itself to be shallow, narcissistic, and, in the end, little but a shrewd ploy. Its characters, save for Rocky himself, are flat.

If it comes to a far-flung theater, wait for the warmth of Spring and then get out to see it. Network possesses intelligence, intensity, well placed wit and anger and a high gloss of great competance in all its aspects. It moves with finely tuned urgency, every scene leading to the next and with purpose. Writer Paddy Chayevsky makes mincement of giant corporations, the television industry, revolutionaries, and the rest of the world while he's at it. He cuts them all down to size with riducule and some simple extrapolation. — — — — Network does have a few minor problems, although these are repeatedly obscured by the assets. Chayevsky's characters are the extreme and exaggerated big-city cartoons that also peopled his previous Hospital.

It isn't only the Characters, but the plot itself which continually swerves into the realm of implausibility.Of course, no one ever said that this movie had to be totally realistic. As it is, it's close enough. One disappointment in the recently announced Oscar nominations was the lack of recognition of the nearly show-stealing supporting performances by Robert Duvall. He has recently run the gamut from the steadfastly loyal and British Watson in The Seven Percent Solution to the ruthless, corporate man Hackett in Network. To hear Duvall rant about profit and loss and the supremacy of the conglomerate while director Sidney Lumet pans down the skyscraper canyon of Sixth Avenue is a perfect crystallization of Chayevsky's modern fable. —Mitchel Zoler newscaster Prodigal Sun �Respect for the past Hoots' addresses itself to the preservation of the Essence Dance and Drums preceded the word. — It has too often, throughout Time Immemorial, become fashionable to enact Change without due respect for past, or full account for the future.

Prejudice. Or better yet, ignorance. A little girl named Missy Anne innocently squeaking "She jes' like a li'l nigger doll!" under control of an autonomy that substitutes practice for feeling, becomes the unmistakably prim symbol of liberalism portrayed by Sandy Duncan in the film. For her, Kizzy (portrayed by Leslie Uggams) is still an affectionate nigger doll. After Anne tells Kizzy about her European ancestry, Kizzy tells her about her African heritage, which includes great metallurgists, holy men, and kings. Anne giggles. "I'm serious, Kizzy." Anne, in truth, is the nigger dolls of the land, produced by niggers trying to hide by running games on the world. The sadness is they may never know they're caught until their lack of movement wakes them, dead and pale. The water they drink is a spittle of their own making. (Remember in the movie where Kizzy spits in the cup and Missy Anne can't tell the difference when she drinks. For her, there are only muddy waters. Dig it. Whatever differences exist, the basic messages of the book maintain its spirit and integrity throughout the film.) Guilt and pity, as we said, will not help. Constructive deeds will.

Stuff, will, uh, like, bring some of their things into the, uh, Fillmore Room this Sunday night for an 8:30 p.m. show. Tickets may be had for the meager price of $2.50 for students and $4.50 for the general public. Stuff plays freshly, sharply and keenly with an air of distinct clarity unknown in most music circles today. Their music expounds a universal language which distills pop, jazz, r&b, and even classical backgrounds into a disciplined musical melting pot. Stuff is subtly popular and it is estimated 50 percent of the commercials of television and any current star on the charts have some of their members playing on them. So go out and do some Stuff Sunday night. The bands love the audience and the audience responds by Harold Goldberg Spectrum Staff Writer Harvey and Corky's presentation of the classical rock group. Renaissance, last Friday evenirtg was billed as a "Valentine's Day concert for music lovers." It was hard not to have some romantic mood-feelings towards the bands who loved the audience and the audience who loved the bands! Ace, Sea-Level, and Renasisance. It was hard indeed. Opening the show was the rock group, Ace, who tried, as would an irrationally egotistic adolescent, to make a passionate pass for recognition by the audience. Failing in this attempt two summers ago at a Rich Stadium concert, the group scored an ace in the hole this night. No cold, frigid shoulder was present this time, and Ace won tepid favor from the audience. The crowd was courted by Ace, but the stereotype of the typical Buffalo audience emerged to maintain an aura of coyness which separated the two from any close relationship.

The song seemed to be titled "Get Ready" and the piano's honky-tonk sleaze blended with an ample guitar to woo the audience's musings of aloofness. Ace pursued a valiant effort to enrapture the crowd's hearts. The group was a good opener, but how long will this third-billed frustration go on? Ace needs to break swiftly and stiffly into stardom before they are let down. Audience response to their love of the ex-Allman Borther members composing the band, Sea-Level resembled the sycophantic plunge which caresses the heart when it is consumed by the phenomenon of a crush. This off-shoot of the South's first boogie band had changed into a jazz-oriented group with no seemingly visible limitations. The audience's blood was in Sea-Level's veins and flowed to a soft intercourse with the mellow keyboard expeditions of Chuck Leavell. White and red lights around the keen piano strains browsed into a haunting level of jazz. 24-Hour love bug The jazz set was totally instrumental while the' drums of Jaim, the guitar of Jimmy Nalls, and the keyboards of Chuck Leavell combined with-a quiet frenzy burning with the desire to please in the song, "High Tide." The tune, "The Rain In Spain" saw the mellow blue gloom flutter madly with a type of Spanish-tinged jazz which lingered like the imagined passionate kiss fantasies are made of in the least of hope. Forget the Allman Brothers; they are dead and Sea-Level may be the new Jeff Beck group. But wait a minute aren't crushes ephemeral? Mesmerized, the audience was captured by the siren-like sounds of Annie Haslam and Renaissance. The crowd was still hungry and excited, and Renaissance sought to captivate the multitude's crimson yearnings with the gentle whispering of classical, folk-rock music. Renaissance looked to free audience desires by giving a gift of song in "Carpet of the Sun." What a diverse pair, this audience and the performers. They kidnepped each other and bled a red blood, music affair. Don't touch me there But then it broke. Renaissance subtly mocked the audience with words from “Running Hard:" Running hard towards what used to. be Losing ground, changes sliding endlessly Reaching out for things you want to see Find reflection of insane reality. — The bass of Jon Camp began to argue with the crowd in "Ashes Are Burning." It scolded the audience's harsh paternalism, loudly reverberating its musical plea. It soloed a compromise, speaking through a synthesizer. The crowd's burning embers of passion understood, and begged forgiveness. Renaissance accepted but left the stage as Haslam warned, "Ashes , are burning away." The show was finished. The act was done. The fine performers of Renaissance love will remain faithful in the memory. » Love life VELCOME HOME —Jensen Solzhenitzen, "Mother Russia." The acoustic guitar of Michael Dunford softly, but strictly, condemned the Soviet bastardizing of Marxist philosophy and praised Alexander's love for his country. But affairs are based on secret trust and obscene and private thought. The lyric friendship with Alexander brought a third party to the intimacy. As the song climaxed, a nervous interlude to the romance presented itself. Thoughts ran back to the crush of Sea-Level. Heart-chatterings of the audience were voiced and vyished Renaissance to sing of other, more pleasant stories of love. So, Renaissance was a slave and obeyed, as Haslam kissed the minds of the crowd with the epiphanic "Ocean Gypsy." The crowd began to domineer and its tough was a ponderous and breaking yet wave, swallowing, enjoying, Renaissance. Haslam and Renaissance plowed through the affair, always keeping their music above the passioned audience with peaceful virtue. Haslam's voice wailed, deeply questioning life, the Renaissance ode to Alexander throughout %frW \ vhere the well educated drinkers meet, r specialty is beef on week! Ve serve food til 3 am B.S.

Snore, snore indeed, and weren't we all sick of it. trace A nostalgic flashback: the sixties; the summer of love bore an endless wave of glorious rock music. Recall when everyone used — to sit around and pass the old peace pipe, winding up that old victrola with hopes that their lives would be Saved by good old rock, rock, rock, rock, and roll music? Concerts were also a big thing then. Almost every weekend people would go en masse to their local concert hall to savor the sights and sounds of their faves. Rock and roll was important then, both sociologically and spiritually, ah yes, the turbulent 60's; Hendrix, the Doors, the Velvets, and the Who. A traumatic realization; rock died early in the soporific seventies. Nixon's seventies, when (like so-called artists the politicians) were more interested in Dom Perignon and "crying all the way to the bank." The seventies, when rock aficionados were sick and tired of being squashed into tittle tiny globules at enormous outdoor (so-called) concerts. How pleasurable it on a rock album, put to became so that you could be lulled into a sleepy stupor. Finally, it got to the point where all you could think about was snore, snore, snore; after so many pictures of Deliverance A proclamation: rock isn't dull anymore. To begin with, it never had to be. So, rock and roll fans arise and shake the sandman's work out of your groggy eyes! PUNK ROCK IS HERE AND IT YOUR CLEANSE WILL BUT STILL PETRIFIED WILLIN-TO-ROCK SOULS. This is not just the next big hype. It is something important and relevant. The day has again returned, when you can go forward to your favorite suburban record retailer, without fear of returning home unsatisfied and empty-handed. According to the litany of punk rock, we shall be delivered out of the clutches of such middle of the road poozle as Rod the Mod, Abba, Linda McCartney, Donna Godcheaux, and Peter Frampton. TODAY, WE HAVE THE RAMONES, champions of punk rock. (Thank you God, we needed them. God please excuse my tackiness, but why in hell did you take so long?) The Ramones are Tommy, Johnny, Joey, and DeeDee, four lovable types from Queens, New York. Visually they are a far cry from (let's use as an example) the Mick Jagger had been printed in and calculated Rolling stylish that even Rolling Stone Magazine Stones. Instead of sequins and jumpsuits, the Ramones wear plain old dungarees and sneakers. Perhaps they over-indulge in their craving for leather jackets, but then again, when was the last time Mick dagger wore his street clothes on stage? Also, the Ramones don't arrive at their concerts in limousines, and even if they could afford the luxury of a Rolls Royce, I doubt they would. play the Ramones When C.B.G.B.'s, they sit at the, bar during breaks and chat with their UUAB Film Committee Presents SAMURAI WEEKEND Fri. “Three Outlaw Samurai” Three Samurai come to the aid of a band of poor farmers Reminiscent of “Seven Samurai” and “Rio Bravo'* Sat.‘‘Zatoichi’s Fire Festival” — The hilarious comic Samurai rides again Sun. “Sword of Vengeance” A Lord High Executioner is framed and deals retribution to the clan that wronged him.

As noted rock columnist Lisa Robinson has mentioned, could you imagine Roger Daltrey, walking through the aisles of Madison Square Garden, asking his fans what they would like to hear played. (That's a big joke if I ever heard one.) Back to basics Even more important than the visual aspects, the Ramones' music has been the first in a long while to deal directly with the common teenager's frustrations and joys. Their music does not document topographic oceans, not even flying saucers or The Battle of Evermore. No, the Ramones deal with much simpler and down-to-Earth necessities as do, to something "finding everybody needs something to spinning do." Instead of such tales of exuberant ultra-rich subjects as impractical the Cocaine, and groupies Ramones portray such artifacts as sniffin' glue in the attic, meeting HER at Burger King, boyfriends and other local scenery (53 & 3rd). The Ramones are not anti-intellectual, yet, while they have shelved Ph.D. type stuff, they have come up with an effective stance to rock and roll. And so I ask you, is not rock and roll what it's all about? I think so. The Ramones have two albums, their first simply entitled The their newest Ramones and blockbuster The Ramones Leave Home. But, more on that later, first let's get into some of Ramone's drummer Tommy historical and analytical memoirs. * * * * * January was neither the best of times nor the worst of times for New York, nor the world's best punk rock group, The Ramones. First of all, Joey, the tall, slender, and cockney-accented lead singer was laid up in New York nursing a University critical fodp infection. The contagion had leen drawn deep to antibiotics. the bone and Joey, then you Hope ya get can come to Buffalo and show the Ipcal wimps Ikhat's the real meaning of rock and roll. Regretfully, Joey's ailment means the cancellation of the band's second European tour. The Ramones are very big in that tea drinking country, a fact which should hint a little at where they're at. I had been sitting in one of the offices at Sire Records, a funny blue-painted building which is located on 74th Street in Manhattan. On top of a Phillips turntable sat playing the new killer Ramones ablum, when Tommy walked in as punctually as had been promised for the 3 p.m. meeting. Tommy looked as usual, street tough, sporting blue jeans, tattered sneakers, a leather jacket (of course) and a pair of dark shades, which I have been informed never leave his scraggily coiffured head. Tommy and David Byrne, leader, songwriter, and guitarist for Talking Heads, a band which frequently shares the bill with the Ramones, discuss the battle tactics for upcoming gigs. Then Tommy pivots, faces me and appreciatively nods; he's ready. We walk down a black metal spiral staircase and into a soundproof chamber. Somewhat nervously, him a we both light cigarettes Tareyton, me a Marlboro. Only Tom, as I said, was present at this interview. However, the reader should think of the words, as spoken by the collected entity of the Ramones. The Ramones are a group, a gang with a name of psychological importance. Like Kiss, they're real names are unimportant, for the Ramones are well the Ramones are themselves and that explanation is good enough if you have heard their great music. — * * * * * Early influences Let's go back a few years, back to when the Ramones were killing time in their home town of Forest Hills. Forest Hills has always been a great place for growing up, rock and roll. The Ramones are not the first to come from this Queens town. Already it has given birth to such noted artists as Paul Simon, Al Kooper, and the Vagrants, ala heavy weight Leslie West. -continued on Friday, 18 February 1977 . The Spectrum . page 14— Page thirteen �'“■> r 3t? 35*#*- •** .i The Romanes. Forest Hills has had a deep meaning for the Ramones, who had pretty ,much all grown up together sharing the same block. I refer in particular to Yellowstone Boulevard, between 67th and 68th Drive (which is very close to the famous tennis stadium), "Well, we're all friends, we know each other from Junior High probably Russel School (note Sage). You know the Birch wood Towers. It was like a neighborhood, a neighborhood where I guess our mentality got us together. We used to listen to a lot of music. Just about everything. whatever was on the radio. We were into rock and roll from when we were very young. Since we knew each other, when we were together, other than hanging out, that's pretty much what we did — i I' — listen to rock and roll music, Their past explains much about their future "We were very much influenced by music and we missed that music. We missed the songs. You see, in the late sixties and early seventies, rock and roll got away from the songs. They got into almost improvisational type stuff. You know, they got lots of influences from other sources. In the late 60's, country before, music was brought in the blues and later classical, and a lot of these sources were brought in and utilized, which is good, great in fact. That's where progressive music comes from and that's good, but we missed the rock and roll; the songs. You just put it on and have a good time. Wow, listen to that song, that's a great song.

We started to play it outselves. We'd just get together and fool around and we liked what we heard." * * * * * "The Ramones were created ago years almost three (approximately). At first, I was the manager/producer of the group. It was just a trio. We were looking for a drummer, and I would sit down and tell the drummer what to do, and they would never get it right. I'd like the drums and said, what the heck. It was fun, I had always like the drums, though I had not really been playing the drums before." While the Ram ones were experimenting with the sounds, they were trying to get and getting their line up together, they all had to put up with the routines and ruts of other menial jobs and the acquisition of education. (I have been told that Johnny once went to Tampa University, but only lasted a week. When he returned he explained, "Naaah, I couldn't dig that shit.") None of that stuff went over well with the boys, for in the backs of their minds they pined to be in some form of entertainment, with dreams of movies, yet always with a heart full of- rock and roll. Also, around this time, our boys got heavily into the early N.Y. music of the seventies. While they fooled and hung around in New York, they many made musical acquaintances. The group Blondie was one suck pack of musical ties; one which perhaps directly helped them break into the music scene.

We started playing C.B.G.B.'s, which is just a little bar with a little stage in the Bowerey. A group called Blondie asked us to play with them. We had been friends with them. Hilly (Kristal) who owned the place, liked the band and asked us to play again. And we played there for a period of time. We sent invitations for writers to come see us and eventually when somebody wrote something good about us vye'd send them our albums and thanks. Eventually, Lisa Robinson came down with us. Then Danny Fields, that was our big breaks with the media. Finally, Hilly had a summer rock festival and there was a big rush for us.The Ramones' energy and determination brings forth a special brand of warn, bam, bam, rock and roll. Their attitude is that they play what they like, but, at the same time, they are trying to be original and meaningful, to have a distinctive sound. A major result of this outlook has been a slew of great songs, including Shock "Gimme, Gimme Treatment" (a daily wish for many), "What's Your Game" (a simple but perceptive gesture), "Commando" (the producers of Hearts and Minds should have waited to use this), plus such great copy songs as "Let's Dance" and "California Sun." "It's not really a style. What we're tyring to do is just have songs. Nothing comes back, you know," says Tommy, matter of factly. "What we're tyring to do is modern. Our roots are from that, our .inspirations, but what we're doing is a combination of that and hard rock. We took the sounds of hard rock and added a bit of our own unique sound, and combined it with the melodic feel of that." Straight forward What is truly unique about the sonorousness of the group, however, is that they do not rely on any electronic gizmos to soup up their act. It's straight forward rock and roll, fast and heavy, with not one excessive guitar lick to be found. ANYWHERE. "Well, we found that solos slow our pace down. We try to keep the pace of our songs lively. Also,especially pH our first album, we tried to get away from ‘ that, like an overindulgence in the guitar. You know in the late sixties, when all the guitar virtuosos came in and were excellent, very good. I respect them, but in the seventies, you heard like fifth generation Eric Calptons playing the same thing. There was nothing innovative about that. You hear guitar breaks and it's very cliched. We're tyring to get away from that. We're not going to have any more of that. But, at the same time> we found nat we came up with something of our own, that's like a harmonic structure rather than a lead line structure, and that’s our -sound. And when you put a guitar break onto it, it really bogs it down. For those of you that don't this philosophy, understand Tommy has this explanation. "We're new and different.

You knovi in the swing era, there were a hundred thousand saxaphonists and trombonists that were incredible, who couldn't get any jobs. They had the big bands and that was it and so that's what is's like with the lids. So, if everybody plays good, big deal." Finally, some other anecdotes: On Johnny's frantic rhythm guitar playing "He cuts his hands a lot. In the beginning, it used to be a problem.- He used to get REALLY bloody hands and he would have to wear bandages. Now, the callouses are enormous. On the first LP "Pretty good. It got good response; it went fairly well for a first album, we were pleased with it. On the second LP "We were going for a more melodic sound, yet at the same time, with a heavier tone." On C.B.G.B.'s "I always thought that C.B.G.B.'s had a chance to become a big place. I always thought it had a nice atmosphere. If bands are good, they have a showplace." On other great "I like Taling Heads, groups Blondie, and the Heartbreakers" and such oldies as "Bowie, T. Rex (that was fun) and the Sensational Alex Harvey Band," not to mention Joey's favorite group, Herman's Hermits. On Murray the it was K and recent association a piece for Newsweek, which does a syndicated T.V. thing. I didn't know Murray was going to be there. When he came out Murray! I flipped out. When I was a kid, I used to see him all the time, really he was great. Allen Freed was before my time, but Murray the K was great. Meeting him was something e|se.” Now, the inevitable and most important question, when are we gonna see live Ramones in Buffalo? "Well, it's just a matter of time." Boo, nothing definite. There would be nothing like a Ramones concert to make the next weekend. Well, at least there are the records; life won't be too bad. Like I said a few thousand paragraphs ago, we can again enjoy music. The Ramones are GREAT! Audiences were universally swept away by the brilliance of the performance, a whirlwind of sensations that made the young children squeal with delight and the adults alternate between gasps of astonishment and roars of laughter. One's humor buds were tickled by the long silver elephant's trunk trying to catch a hyperactive orange peanut. What is life like without a kiss on the smacker-oo?

The images were endless, the creative experience a gourmet treat, and the fun filled the afternoon with delight. a Reading review about Mummenschanz in nonsensical because it can't do these three wondrous minds proper justice.

Then, Pellom committed his fourth personal foul, and "Buffalo coach Leo Richardson sat him down. “That’s the key right there,” Richarson said. “We had a six point lead, and all of a sudden, they were right back in it.” Pellom finished the game with a season high of twenty rebounds, but in the two minutes he was on the bench, LeMoyne was able to dominate the boards; at one point, the Dolphins grabbed four offensive rebounds in a row. “We Robinson height. had no [Buffalo’s tallest player sides Pellom] can’t do it by himself,” Richardson said. When Pellom returned with four minutes left, in regulation time, LeMoyne had taken a 73-72 lead. Cooper scored a three-point play, and the see-saw slide to the finish began. and , LeMoyne Buffalo leads once more, but exchanged the Bulls were on top at the two-minute mark. With, 1:20 left, Buffalo’s Lloyd DeVaux missed a freethrow that could have put Buffalo up by three. Instead, LeMoyne’s Bob Burkhard was fouled seconds later, and he hit his two shots to tie the game. After Johnson committed an offensive foul to return the ball to the home team. Dolphins coach 1*om Cooney called a time out and told his team to stall for the last shot. Grey’s shot with only ( SYRACUSE Overtime. The basketball Bulls have a four point lead. They look like they have the t game under control. Right? Wrong. With Buffalo leading 85—81 in overtime, LeMoyne College scored 16 straight points to run away with a 97—87 win here Wednesday night. Buffalo’s record dropped to 3—18, while LeMoyne is now 13—6. The Trouble began after a jumpshot by Buffalo’s Sam Robinson and two freethrows by teammate Sam Pellom had put the Bulls up by four in the extra period. But the Dolphins’ Jene Grey hit two freethrows and John Lauer tied the score with a jumper. f Pellom stepped on the baseline while trying to drive, and the ball returned to Lemoyne. Then, the Dolphins scored six freethrows, a layup; two more freethrows and a jumper, while Buffalo couldn’t get their shots to drop. - Pellom’s rest hurts LeMoyne’s biggest lead prior to the overtime was a seven point spread early in the second half. But Buffalo’s guards, George Cooper and Ed Johnson, were collectively having their finest night of the year, and aided by Pellom’s strong rebounding, Buffalo moved ahead 72-66 with seconds left was deflected by Cooper and the game went into overtime. Hot and cold Buffalo was hurt early in the game by hot outside shooting by the Dolphins. But during that first half, the Dolphins were the only thing that was hot. It was about 60 degrees in the arena, the players had complained about it before the game. “It was cold, and 1 thought maybe we could play a zone for a few minutes to get us warmed up,” Ricahrdson said. “We knew they shot too well to stay in a zone.” The Dolphins shot 52 percent in the first half, and when Richardson switched to a man-to-man, Buffalo was down by a couple. The man-to-man helped the comeback, as did patience by Buffalo’s offense. *“We were Richardson pretty patient,” noted. “We’ve been around hSng enough to realise that’s how we have to play. I also thought we executed our plays very well.” Still, Richardson was very disappointed with the outcome. “In the pvertime, I just don’t know what happened. If we had more help from [reserve Dana] Mitchell and [Donald] Scott, we’d have been right in it,” he said. And so, the Bulls move on to Cleveland State tomorrow night, as their season nears a merciful end. Dorm fire extinguished by RAs, students, campus police Students, Resident Advisors and University Police cooperated to put out a grease fire that erupted in Porter Quad last Sunday evening. The only damage done was to the ceiling and to the range hood of the stove. Two University policemen were treated for smoke inhalation by the Student Health Service Office. One student felt that “kitchen safety regulations and fire drills should be taken a bit more GUSTAV GUSTAV GUSTAV GUSTAV GUSTAV GUSTAV GUSTAV GUSTAV GUSTAVGUSTAV GUSTAV GUSTAV seriously.” The fire, on the second floor of building two in the kitchen area of Room 212L, originated in a large covered cooking pot that contained oil. The electric stove had been on a high setting for a long time. A student in the kitchen saw the metal pot smouldering and shut off the burner. After notifying the owner, they both returned to the kitchen only to frnd bursting flames and splattering oil when the lid of the pot was removed. Janice Heinemann, a Resident Advisor on the second floor, was in her room next to 212L when she heard a commotion. When Heinemann realized what the cause of the uproar was, she went for the C02 extinguisher, then instructed two students to pull the fire alarm. At that point. students were told to evacuate if they had not already done so. Recuperation The R.A. also' experienced some difficulty when “trying to remove the pin, which permits the C02 to escape.” Students were also annoyed because they said the C02 extinguisher was empty. Robert Fortgang, a resident of Porter Quad, : said, “We had to alternate when putting the fire out so that we could recuperate from the intake of smoke.” Residents of Porter expressed concern about a possible malfunction of the smoke alarm. “The smoke alarm did not go on and the fire doors did not close automatically,” according to one student.

Born in Tarrytown, New York with an acoustic guitar in his mouth, Bromberg quickly escaped from banal, static, middle class surroundings to emerge, at the age of thirteen, in Grenwich Village. In a state of wide-eyed and tooth-decayed wonder, Bromberg began to emulate his idol, Pete Seeger. He soon became intimate with all the pretty people in the sordid concrete jungle and was recognized by Beb Dylan to be a genuine, blowin' in the wind rock, folk, blues artist. With such eminent renown, Bromberg began touring college campuses and folk festivals to become the fine winey fascination we know him to be today. Opening the show for Bromberg will be the Flying Burrito Brothers, the favorite act of Dan and Andy at the Mighty Taco Take-Out Shop. The Burritds have been around quite a long while and it is estimated that 60 different people have played with them during their existence. From the grinning of Gil Giibeau to the gritting of Sneaky Pete the Burrito's main country aim is to entertain.

The Lake Forest hockey team is coming to town, and they are more mysterious than a Conan Doyle novel. Tonight and tomorrow afternoon Buffalo plays host to the Foresters at the Tonanwanda Sports Center, and the games should prove to be interesting because nobody on the Buffalo team seems to know anything about them. Honestly, nobody knows anything about them! The players don’t know, the coaches don’t know, and the press has no idea what to expect. In short, expect the unexpected. The only thing that anybody seems to be sure of is that the Bulls will win. They have always done reasonably well against the Foresters, and are currently playing their best hockey of the season. Besides that, if the Foresters were anything special then everyone would be familiar with them, right? Split last year Well, the only concrete evidence available on which to make a forecast is the two clubs series record, and the Bulls hold a decisive 5—1 advantage in the win-loss department. Last year the Bulls traveled to Illinois for a two-game set against the Foresters not knowing what to expect, and came out with a split in the series. Lake Forest won the first game, 9-5, but the Bulls rallied to win the finale, 8—4. There you have it: all of the known information about the Lake Forest hockey team. To make sure that you don’t feel like a mindless idiot, rest assured that you know as much as the players and coaches know about the Foresters. For example, when asked for a quick preview of the weekend series, Buffalo assistant coach Mike Kelly just laughed, and head coach Ed Wright appeared puzzled before coming out with an obligatory “Well, they’ll be two competitive games against Lake Forest.” * • Predictions Goalie Johnny Moore, do you know anything about Lake Forest? “No,-but we’ll beat them anyway, no matter what they are or who they are. We’ll have no problem with them, we’re playing very well.” Center Eddie Patterson, you seem like the confident sort. Is there any chance of being beaten by the Foresters? “No! We’re just thinking playoffs right now Left Wing Jack'Kaminski proved to be a little more helpful, but not much. “Last year they beat us the first game, but we blew them off in the second. Our whole team’s going good, and I think we’ll beat anybody we go against.” Frank Anzalone said that he felt that Lake Forest was a good team to break out of a rut against. C’mon Frank, stop laughing. Do you really have any information for me? that “Well, I heard that Lake Forest recruited a few they take hockey more seriously now. I don’t know if it’s true or not, but 1 heard that they split a series with Western Michigan. Did anybody -else hear that?” No. Any anyway, hearsay evidence is inadmissaWe in an ice hockey rick Trying to examine all of life “facts” and draw a conclusion upon complex for this them is a task not easily accomplished. Much too lately? Poirot around seen Hercule reporter to do. Has anybody ” „ Friday, 18 February 1977 . > The Spectrum Page seventeen . �Environment symposia and industry’s effects The first in a series of free symposia entitled “Erie County’s Environment: 1977” featured talks by two University of Buffalo professors concerning local industry and the effects of its pollutants on Erie County air quality. Held on February 10th at Buffalo State College Science Building, the program opened with Beverly Paigan, of Roswell Park and Rachel Carson College, discussing the effects of industrial particulate emissions on Erie County. She was followed by Richard Tobin, from the political science department here, who spoke about sulfur dioxide dispersal in industrial waste. Paigan centered her talk on particulate emissions; their causes, remedies and effects on the human condition. The installation of scrubbers (pollution control equipment) as a possible remedy to reduce particulate emissions was discussed at length. Bethlehem Steel, she stated, was required by law to have installed scrubbers four years ago in each of their nine coke ovens. and that in a rarely used To date only one has been installed oven. The complications wrought by legal delays in this and other instances are a continual problem for battling environmentalists but one that only strict perseverance can overcome, Paigan says. One of the most pressing health problems she related concerns the men working atop the coke ovens who must breathe noxious fumes they spew forth. In a single day these men breathe in enough benzopyrene to equal smoking three to five packs of cigarettes per day. Not unpredictably, the incidence of cancer in these men is 25 percent greater than in the general population. Bethlehem Steel and Allied Chemical together discharge approximately 12 tons of benzopyrene annually into the Buffalo air. — Sulfur dioxide Tobin concentrated his half of the seminar on sulfur dioxide dispersal. He noted that sulfur dioxide accounts for a small percentage of total air pollution in the United States but causes over half of all property damage because of its acid, poisonous and corrosive properties. AnnauL-tonnage emitted in this country is 33 million tons a year. In Erie County alone 160,000 tons are emitted yearly. Property damage to this county can be roughly calculated at 25 cents per pound. But eliminating high sulfur dioxide levels will affect fuel bills since power plants are the single biggest source of sulfur dioxide. Power plants usually burn high sulfur content coal and oil which creates this problem. There are three alternatives: switch to low sulfur fuels such as low sulfur coal; switch to non-sulfur fuels, i.e. gas, hydroelectric power and nuclear energy; or, implementation of control devices, e.g. scrubbers. However, low sulfur coal must either come from the west at great transportation expense or from the deep and expensive-to-mine fields of the east. The use of non-sulfur fuels is unlikely because of the already high demands on gas and hydroelectric power and the environmental stresses that nuclear power presents. scrubbers in which This, needless to say, leaves one alternative ' — — very few power companies have cared to invest. Tobin specifically singled out Niagara Mohawk for installing a scrubber on an experimental basis on the condition that it would be removed at the end of two years “no matter what the results.” Both speakers discussed an upcoming public hearing on Pollution Control Law. Rule 216 which will be held this Wednesday, February 16th at the Erie County Public Library at 1:30 and 7 p.m. If put into effect, this law would raise the standards for particulate emissions. Even though it is not everything environmentalists would want it to be, both lecturers stressed the urgency of its passing and urged student support. The next scheduled symposium is entitled “Energy” and will be presented on February 24th at the Buff State Science Building. All are invited and asked to get concerned. Benefit for stricken officer Members of the University Police are holding a benefit for the family of former University Police Officer Frank Butler. Butler had an unusual accident in his home last October and is currently paralyzed and in a coma in the hospital. The benefit will be held tomorrow, February 19, at the Adam Plewacki Post of the American Legion, 385' Paderewski Drive, in Buffalo. The donation for a ticket is five dollars and refreshments will be served. Tickets are available at University Police Headquarters on Winspear, at the Norton Ticket Office and at the door.

President Robert Ketter outlined during the two-hour meeting Governor Carey’s recommended University budget, plans for transition to the Amherst the campus, and aftermath of the storm. The meeting attended. was lightly requirements was made available to the Council. Brownstein charged that the Council was trying to “find ways to get around” compliance with the law, and not open its meetings. A memo had already been sent to the Council from State University (SUNY) legal counsel Walter Rellihan recommending that the Trustees and College Councils open their meetings to comply with the copies of which were distributed at the December 4 meeting. Brownstein contended that no further clarification was and the rest of necessary, charged the Council with violation of the “spirit of the law.” The College Council is comprised of prominent community members, appointed for indeterminate periods by the Governor of New York State, and one non-voting student representative, elected by the University student body.

At that time, Council meeting clarification” of the law and its member Robert E. Rich seconded Albert Somit Brownstein’s motion to place a Council’s student representative on the Executive Committee “just so 1 can vote against it.” Council member Phyllis Kelly chastised Brownstein for initiating the whole controversy, and accused him of “trying to be some king of folk hero” for the benefit of the student press and spectators at the meeting. She told Brownstein she wfs “very upset” with his statements at the Conference of College Councils last month in which he lambasted the group for their closed-door procedures. “There aren’t as good people as anywhere,” Kelly these exclaimed. “We always all obey the law.” She told Brownstein that “in your young years” he couldn’t have possibly dedicated as much time and effort to the University as the members fo the Council, and accused him of “making trouble for the sake of making trouble.” Other business When the discussion was finally tabled, University President Robert Ketter outlined the significant items of interest to the University at the present time. He discussed the show storms and cancellation of classes, revealed to the Council how the lost class days would be compensated. The decision of cancelling classes is generally reached by 8 a.m., after Vice President for Finance and Management Edward Doty is informed of campus and road conditions by a maintenance employee, he explained. On Thursday, January 27, the first day of the storm, the Main Street Campus did not appear too snowridden, he said, adding that apparently weather conditions can be moderate on Main Street, while it’s “absolutely pure hell in Amherst.” Ketter also illustrated the possibility of flooding by Ellicott Creek. The creek has been —continued on page 2 — �CSEA workers to Council opens doors... lose vacation time —continued from page 1— continuously monitored to check water elevation and the rate of the current. In 1960, the elevation of the creek was four feet, two by Gary Sammartano Spectrum Staff Writer inches; it rose to five feet, eight inches by February, 1977. The flow of the current increased from All 2000 University members of the Civil Service Employees 4860 gallons per minute to 5081 Association (CSEA), along with 38,000 other CSEA workers in Western New York, will lose seven days of vacation to make up for the as of this past February, warning that the Creek was originally days lost during the recent blizzard. The loss of vacation time was mandated by a New York State Civil designed to contain a maximum Service Commission ruling last Thursday. The ruling provided that flow of 5085 gallons per minute. although CSEA members will lose seven vacation days, any worker who If the creek does flood this had less than seven vacation days available before the storm would not lose pay. Instead, these employees will be advanced up to a maximum year, Ketter forewarned of a “real of ten vacation days.

Ketter cited articles from The New York Times and Long Island’s Newsday that questioned the merit of building a new campus in Amherst, when construction at Stony Brook, Albany and Binghamton was in progress.

Most recently, the New York State Supreme Court declared that the state education department had the authority to close doctoral programs in English and history at SUNY Albany. However, the SUNY board of trustees plans to appeal the decision. The court case was the upshot of years of power plays between SUNY trustees and the state education department. In recent years, the commissioner of education has authorized outside experts to review doctoral programs at ah universities within the state, whether they be public and private. This has led to the discontinuation of more than 20% of all doctoral programs reviewed. According to The Chronicle of Higher Education, SUNY trustees have objected to this procedure on the grounds that a 1961 law gives them autonomy over the SUNY system. They claim that the state is permitted only to review and approve the trustees’ master plan every four years E/ I PRATT & WHITNEY # AIRCRAFT GROUP An Equal Opportunity Employer/ Male & Female However. State Supreme Court Justice Harold J. Hughes disagrees with the trustees’ interpretation of the law. He ruled that in light of the commissioner’s historically extensive power over education in the state, the regents had the power to accredit SUNY courses as well as courses at any other educational institution. The board of regents has been registering courses and programs in New York since 1787. Supervisory control Hughes added in his decision that although the SUNY trustees have control over the internal affairs of SUNY schools as provided by that same 1961 law, the state still has supervisory control over the trustees’ actions. He said that SUNY was intended, “to be subject to the same requirements imposed by the regents and commissioner on private institutions of higher education in this state.” The Hughes decision implies that the SUNY trustees could become a powerless body. If the state education department were to decide that it wants more direct control over SUNY operations, it could merely overrule any decision by the SUNY, trustees with the Hughes decision to back it up. For the time being, however, SUNY doctoral programs wilt continue to come under the state’s microscope. More reviews are currently scheduled for doctoral programs in philosophy, mathematics, sociology, and political science. The two Albany programs closed down by the state remain closed, although the commissioner could authorize the programs to continue to allow currently enrolled students to finish.

Page three �Peripatetic Academia Xenia Independent study and world travel offered by Jeffrey John Spectrum Staff W ter An opportunity for low cost world travel and co-educational independent study has become available to Western New York students through the flexible structure of Peripatetic Academia Xenia (PAX). The name of the organization means “the gift of knowledge through traveling.” PAX is the invention of Don Alessandra, a graduate of this University. Its purpose is to provide students of all interests a framework for realization of self-designed travel-study programs. Two study excursions are slated for this summer’s break. One trip will be a thirty-day exploration of Mexico, while the other ' explores the coastal towns of England and Scandanavia for six weeks. Grassroots organization Alessandra emphasized there is a clear distinction between PAX and other commercially established charter tours. “We are a non-profit, grassroots organization, striving to design all our trips specifically to meet the needs and interests realism is fcdded to the Scandanavian voyage by the mode of travel used. After flying to England the group will board a 100-foot Norwegian gallease, the Anna Rosa. The authentic European sailing vessel was built in 1896.

It estimated that over one billion dollars could be collected if tax priviledges to big business were removed and that over two billion dollars could be collected by the State if State and city sales taxes pocketed by many businesses was recovered. Eleven other sources of income were listed, including a fairer return of money collected by Federal taxes. The National Coalition maintained that New York City contributed $26 billion in taxes to the Federal government in 1974, and got back only $3 billion. $8 billion of the $26 billion collected went to the military, and the National Coalition urged that cuts in the $115 billion military budget to free additional money for education and needed social services. Richardson received nearly 7 percent of the vote for the State Assembly on the Independent Party line in the 64th Congressional District in New York’s Chelsea neighborhood on a program to maintain all social services, including education. He urged student leaders to run for Assembly seats as independents, saying that “you can represent your interests best.” Conference material suggested that students actively oppose any candidate who seeks to cut the CUNY and SUNY budget, and to an promote independent for Governor to oppose candidate The Spectrum is published Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the academic year and on Friday only summer by The during the ■Spectrum Student Periodical, Inc.

SUNY’s budget contains what is tantamount to a $20 million reduction, including the loss of at least 678 positions, maintained SASU Legislative Director Joel Packer. However, the community colleges and CUNY are being hit harder. The total even recommended appropriaton for community colleges in the SUNY system is $84.2 million, a $9.7 million reduction from last year. The total recommended budget for CUNY is $465 million, a decrease of $6 million from their current budget of $471 million. This current budget is $60 million less than their 1975—76 budget, and $90 million less than the 1974—75 budget. This year, there are 41,199 fewer undergraduates and 8000 fewer graduate students from the year before, and in the past 15 months, 5000 full time staff have been fired.

Finding no such program available, he devised his own, and. together with 23 of his students, raised enough money to tour Spain. Traveling by train and bus, they visited many famous and historical sites. The troupe was able to have cultural exchanges and dialogues in Spanish at the markets, villages, roadsides and fishing harbors. If this year’s Mexico trip is like past excursions, the PAX group will travel principally in a renovated school bus following the back-routes and camping out on the edge of lakes and rivers. At one point the bus will be secured to a railroad platform and travel several hundred miles over the spectacular Tarahumara canyons, famous for crevices and valleys more than a mile deep. After visiting small mountain villages, the bus will be uncoupled from the railroad platform so that it can proceed to Mazatland, Mexico City, the pyramid of the sun and moon in Teotihuacan and finally explore the interior of the country before returning home. In addition to the two trips this summer, several others are in the planning stage. To receive a monthly newsletter describing all prospective trips, and shorter local excursions in the Western New York area, one may purchase a membership in PAX for a nominal fee.

His crime: reporting on torture in a daily newspaper. <S5> Vladimir Balakhonov was working with the Soviet delegation to the World Meteorological Organization in Geneva until 1972, when his request for political asylum for himself and his family was granted by the Swiss authroties. He later decided to return home after assurance from Soviet embassy officials that he would not be prosecuted. However, he was subsequently arrested in Moscow and charged with treason under Article 64 of the Soviet Union’s criminal code, which defines “flight abroad or refusal to return from abroad to the USSR” as a treasonable offense. He was tried and sentenced to twelve years in a strict regime labor colony. Cases as these are neither rare nor its members involved in said Cox. Guarantee neutrality unique to any political system. Throughout the world, men and women who have neither advocated nor committed acts of violence are often imprisoned and sometimes tortured for their beliefs. Amnesty International (Al) works to free what it calls “prisoners of conscience” the political prisoner who is persecuted by his government solely for advocating a peaceful change of policy or for expressing views offending those in authority. Since its formation in 1961, AI has helped free more than 8,500 individuals. Worldwide operations are coordinated by a staff of 40 researchers in London, England who pursue news of arrests, investigate cases of prisoners, and follow the political and legal activities in about 113 countries. They then dispense this information to the more than 97,000 members of Amnesty International in 78 countries. 4 The basic AI work unit is the adoption upoi\ “Urgent Action, who send telegrams to assist prisoners in extreme danger, when there is no time to go through the lengthy adoption process. There are currently almost 4,000 prisoners under adoption or investigation. During the year 1975-76, 1880 new prisoners were taken up and 1599 who had been adopted were released. “There is a turnover. Fortunately, there are always prisoners being released, but there are constantly new ones to take their place,” Members of Amnesty International are forbidden by its statutes to work on or publicize those prisoners in their own country. “This rule is intended to guarantee neutrality and safeguard those who are involved in AI,” explained Cox. “One of our very active members, Yuri Orlob, was arrested yesterday,in the Soviet Union,” he continued. AI groups are working on eight cases of American prisoners but, in accordance with its statutes, the American branch cannot make publicmuch information about them. The Amnesty International Report 1975-76, in nation by nation review of human rights, included a report on conditions in the United States: “People are not officially imprisoned because of their political views or actions or because of their ethnic origin. But in some cases it is difficult to avoid the suspicion that an individual’s imprisonment may be due to his political actions rather than to the crime he or she is alleged to have committed.” Martin Sostre, a black activist who has now been freed, was one such prisoner who was formerly adopted by an Amnesty , — group, consisting of about 10 to 20 people from one geographical area, who “adopt” three political prisoners.

The bulk of its work consists of letter-writing to the three prisoners and their families, embassies, prison officials and governments.

This year’s yearbook will deal mainly with the changing concepts of education. The Buffalonian will be published for distribution on April 18, 1977. The cost to you will be $9.00 a copy. Revitalized yearbook published by students and advertisements that have been inundating the with announcements that production for another year’s Buffalonian has begun. But this particular yearbook will be a breaking point from the process and final product of the past few years. A joint venture of the Undergraduate Student Association (SA) and University Press, the Buffalonian is shaking up to be a revitalized publication, numbering three times the pages of its predecessor. One of the more significant changes in this yearbook is that it is the first in three years to be put together and published by a student group. Previously, the Buffalonian had been published by a New York City based photography concern whose contact with the University community was minimal. This year will also be the first to include group photographs of student clubs and teams. Laura Bartlett, editor of this year’s Buffalonian sums up her aspirations for the book in this way. “1 view this Yearbook as a historical record for people five and ten years from now to rediscover what it was like to be a student. I’ve already begun interviewing people for their impression of the campus, and I’m struck by the recurring references to the differences between students in the early ’70’s. I hope to catch the essence of that in this Yearbook.” Bartlett is also one of two managing editors of The Spectrum SA Student Activities and Services Director Pat Lovejoy is coordinating the efforts of SA. At this point, that means putting up posters and soliciting contributions from area businesses in an effort to keep the price of the Yearbook as low as possible. However, she sees a large part of her efforts coming in the months ahead. “Where last year’s book wasn’t mailed to those who ordered it until last September, we plan to have ours on sale in the Union by April.” Linda Encke, manager of University Press, is supervising the process of actually putting the yearbook together for the printer. “We provided the focal point for all of these plans to come together, she said. “The book looks to be a very exciting portrayal of the student body. I look forward to this working relationship in future years." University Press, a unit of Sub Board, provides composition and camera services to the University community. Pictures will continue to be taken until this Friday. February 18, at 361 Norton Hall. Posters University Women lobby for benefits Supreme Court’s ruling. by Carol O’Connor Special to The Spectrum Pregnancy as disability In writing for the majority of the court, Justice Rehnquist, also appointed by Richard Nixon, followed a 1974 California decision (Gedulig v. Aiello) that held that the exclusion of pregnancy disability coverage did not violate the California Equal Protection clause since it did not exclude anyone from coverage based on gender, but rather “merely” removed one physical condition from (CPS) Less than one week after the Dec. 7 U.S. Supreme Court decision denying pregnant workers the right to temporary disability benefits, representatives from 43 women’s professional, labor and lobbying groups formed the Coalition to End Discrimination Against Pregnant Workers. After an initial five-hour meeting at the University of Pennsylvania, the Coalition began a two-front assault. First, the women would attempt to reverse the Supreme Court’s ruling by lobbying lawmakers sympathetic to the rights of pregnant workers. Secondly, the women would attempt to insure through collective bargaining that companies not start taking advantage of the legal loophole provided them by the Burger Court. A December article in the Wall Street Journal says, “The ruling reinforces the growing impression that members of the business community are likely to get sympathetic hearing when they take crucial cases to the court headed by Chief Justice Burger, who was appointed by (former President) Nixon.” Next week. Senators Birch Bayh (D., Ind.), Edward Brooke (R., Mass.), Charles Mathias (R., Md.), and Representatives Pat Schroeder (D., Colo.), Augustus Hawkins (D., Calif.) and Elizabeth Holtzman (D., N.Y.), are expected to introduce legislation that would ban discrimination against pregnant workers and effectively reverse the — - „„ i Buffalonian T i The court wrote that the decision divides pregnant women and workers into two groups non-pregnant persons. Since the first group is made up of women and the second group made up. of both sexes, there is no risk from which men are protected and women aren’t, reasoned Justice Rehnquist. “There is no proof that the GE package is in fact worth more to men than women. It is impossible to find a gender based discriminatory effect in this scheme simply because women disabled as a result of pregnancy do not receive benefits; that is to say, gender-based discrimination does not result simply because an employer’s disability benefits plan is less than inclusive,” Rehnquist wrote. — Cries of outrage The decision brought immediate cries of outrage from the 43-member Coalition which said, “that —continued on page 18— jmmmmmmm Sub Board erie Y HEDKfll I coverage.

It was a downright shocking experience for some to discover the attitudes of people who hold influence in our University and over our administration. Their treatment of student representative David Brownstein is, at the very least, disrespectful, and at wrost, insulting. His remarks and suggestions are not taken seriously. George Measer's answer to one of Brownstein's statements, "Do I have to listen to this?" is typical of their attitude. Council member Phyllis Kelly correctly pointed out that this University's College Council was the first in SUNY to invite a student representative to attend their meetings, To the Editor. before they were compelled to do sp by law last year.

While sitting through our recent impromptu vacation, I received news of the death of an old friend, a U.B. student like myself. I had lost close contact in recent months with him, although I occasionally would meet him and speak with him on the off-campus block where we both lived. I had known him fairly well from the times when we had lived back in the dorms together. His death was no accident; it was planned, planned by himself. And while, my knowledge of what prompted this self-murder is not total, I was told by someone with more information that the individual “felt his life had no meaning.” I had always thought of my friend as being a rational person, and I knew well of his scholastic intelligence. And while this sort of incident doesn’t make front-page headlines, it taxed my own insight as to why such an event should occur. I hardly believe that my friend had lost his rationale in the time I had lost close contact with him; indeed I’ve accepted that he chose to end his life after some period of decision. When I casually sit back and think about this occurrence for a while, I vaguely can conceive of the wide diversity of human opinion there is in regard to life itself. For I remember the time I fought for two extra points on a test grade, and I’ll remember a peer of mine who felt the whole thing wasn’t even worth it. Gary — Wolfe — Books . . .

The recent brouhaha involving the SA (specifically Steve Spiegel) and the BSU is, in my opinion, an irrelevant issue. It raises a far more important question though. Does the SA deserve to exist? It spent $886,750.05 ($67.00 from 13,100 of us) last year. How many of us saw even a fraction of our sixty-seven bucks? The students, in relation to SA fall into three major categories; 1.) Professional and part-time hacks who control SA, receive stipends, run up enormous office ($93,352.05 including salaries) expenses, hurl insults at one another, and occasionally do something outside their own self-interest. 2.) Active members in strong minority organizations, like BSU and PODER, who are trying to wrest some of this money and power from SA but have succeeded only getting bad publicity for themselves and scaring off anyone who might be sympathetic to their cause. 3.) The great majority of us, who pay our fees and then watch with disgust or disinterest as an ambitious few fight over how our money will be used. We may be apathetic, but we’re not helpless. We can put our apathy to use by voting the SA out of existence. How? Simply vote for a party ticket which would promise to return the money to the feepayers. Surely someone has the courage to run on such a ticket. , There will be drawbacks, of course. There will be no sports, no S.C.A.T.E., no Sunshine House, and no SA speakers. Worst of all, the biggest moneywaster, Sub-Board Inc. ($295,000 spent on only God and Ketter know what!), is out of our reach, so we would only get about $50 or so apiece. But that’s $50 to spend as we choose. Low attendance at sporting and other events gives me confidence in student apathy; let the SA hacks play games with someone else’s money. i mvr> veiwe r a sew SlRu. Jtosr OtiflL-POLL MV AMP FOMPOJT rr wA-swr lest HV BIS SISTER T.D. The PLO’s alternative To the Editor. The Palestine Liberation Organization has frequently expounded its fallacious goal of creating a democratic, secular Palestine in the place of Israel. It is a thin veil indeed that disguises their true intentions but first let a few facts be known. In 1922 Great Britain divided “Mandated Palestine” which was placed under her auspices by the League of Nations in 1920, creating the Emirate of Transjordan on the East Bank of the Jordan River. In 1947 the U.S. Partition Resolution provided for the establishment of a second Palestinian state, but the indigenous Arabs and their belligerent allies found this to be unacceptable. Today, almost two thirds of all Palestinians are Jordanian citizens, and most Jordanians are Palestinians. Yet the radical PLO insists that they have no country of their own. Even the most superficial scrutiny reveals that their plan for a new secular state is nothing more thaw! a euphemism for the destruction of Israel along with its Jewish population. One need only study the Palestinian National Covenant to see that this is indeed the case. Article 6 of the 1968 document states that only Jews living in Palestine' before 1917 would be recognized as citizens of the new state. (Note that in the 1964 version the cutoff year was 1947.) Some 2.5 million Jewish aliens would have to leave. Article 9 boasts the principle that “Armed struggle is the only way to liberate Palestine...” Article 19 STOLE IT declares the establishment of Israel as “null and purge the Zionist presence from Palestine;” Article 3 assures us that after the “liberation,” the Palestinian Arab people “will exercise self determination solely according to its own will and choice.” As if these “democratic, secular statements” weren’t enough, the PLO loses any remaining credibility by stating in Article 20 that “the claim of a historical or spiritual tie between Jews and Palestine does not tally with .’’ historical realities Such ignorance is unworthy of comment. And isn’t it comforting to know that the Lebanese newspaper Al-Anwar reporter representatives of the PLO in Beirut for a 1970 meeting as saying that this idea of a democratic, secular state is just a propaganda slogan, and that any new state would be Arab-Palestinian, and not binational? Besides, who has ever heard of a democratic Arab state? The two words are practically antonyms. The list of contradictions is endless. Even if Jews were not forced to flee the country, reproductive trends alone would lead to void,” while Article 15 promises “to . In response to Wm. Dennis Huber’s letter, “Communism The Enemy” {The Spectrum, Jan. 28), I would like to draw attention to what Mr. Huber considers facts. At least Mr, Krehbiel, whose articles Mr. Huber criticized, used constructive evidence to support his argument. Whether I agree with Mr. Krehbiel’s analysis or not is irrelevant. I find his articles very informative. In contrast, Mr. Huber’s letter lacks information in support of his argument. When Mr. Huber labeled Communism “the enemy” and claimed that it has oppressed more citizens than the United States, he merely reiterated the same story I have been oppressed with all my life. Another story that I keep hearing every year is (x)PG im\& HE V TH£ TOO, . cnus it kmir Vie zoo, rr Ii0fi6 SCHOOL- nff M* MW »*weAtr. njr Arab domination in short time.

"Really don't mind if you sit this one out. My words but a wisper your deafness a SHOUT. I may make you feel but I can’t make you think. Your sperms in the gutter, your love’s in the sink. So you ride yourselves over the fields and - You make all your animal deals and Your wise men don't know how it feels To be Thick as a Brick ” -J. Tull Dear executive vice president Speigel, First let me compliment you on your epic opinion. What you lack in morality, you more than make up for in articulateness. The ability to speak and write well are necessary tools for all students at this University and especially so for SA officers. But like any tool, articulateness and what it is used for all depend on the person Using it. The fact stands: You are very articulate. The question is: What are you using it for? Are you writing your Guest Opinion as “executive vice president” or as Steve Speigel, "good citizen or as Steve Speigel “beating victim or as Steve Speigel “great white hope" or as Steve Speigel “reckless powertripping politician" and has-been before his term ” ” is finished." Question: What ever happened to Steve Speigel defense” in this case, I ask that you as executive vice president of SA to explain it to them in another Guest Opinion. The “Fact” of the matter is that there is no difference! “As was reported, yes I did receive stitches above my eye, yes, my cornea was scratched, yes I received several cuts, bruises and contusions to my face, arms, legs and body, and yes, my back was injured and has not yet healed.” Now why is it that when it comes to personal injuries not one gory detail is spared, but yet you see fit to never admit the embarrassing detail that .Robert Tribble never touched you. You know he has been suspended for nothing don’t you even care? “One of the most disturbing things to me about this whole incident is that many people we have been working with all year, because they are minority Students, are automatically defending the three defendants. Their recent behavior has been military, abusive and uncooperative, and we have even been accused of every wrongful deed since the Scottsboro Boys case. I can understand the pressure for unify, but in this case it is very much misguided. To succumb to pressure to defend men who are wrong merely because they are Black is self-defeating. To defend solely because of the color of one’s skin can only serve to propagate negative stereotypes about the people they represent. What are needed here are individuals who have the courage to make up their own minds rather than those who find it easier to follow. “Executive Vice President of all the students? No answer? Well, I’ll tell you! First of all, the best place to start is not with some silly article dated January 24, but to start from the day the Schwarts-Speigel administration came to power. Communications problems were brewing lopg before January 24 and you damned well know it. TheV started in mid-March of 1976, and guess what administration yes, yours. You and was just coming to power then President Schwarts have never worked well as a team primarily a result of your being elected from different parties and more importantly your differing personalities. These resulted in the following: 1. Steve Schwarts, a nice fellow who gets along with everybody but a political jellyfish unable to exercise sufficient authority to keep his administration — — — — in line. 2. You, Steve Speigel! The Joe McCarthy of SUNYAB who with little more than innuendo and connections (namely Jellyfish and the Editor-in-Chief of this two-bit scandal sheet whom I will save for last) was able to make an unfortunate incident where fault fell on all sides (you received an “ass whipping” for Christmas but evidently you had been asking for it all semester ) balloon into the campus media event and political side show of the semester. “The statement about Robert Tribble is not a statement of fact, but solely the contention of the defense: and yet the fact that three witnesses placed all three defendants as taking an active part in the assault was omitted from this article.” Apparently, Mr. Executive vice president, your recklessness, powertripping and desire for revenge know no limits. The above quote from your Guest Opinion, when translated from legalese to standard English, says that three witnesses have identified Robert Tribble, George Thomas and John Lott as taking an active part in the “ass whipping.” Though Ms. Sullivan was wrong to omit this, aren’t you also wrong in not publicly admitting that Robert Tribble did not take part in the “ass whipping?” Clearly you did not forget since you and The Spectrum saw fit to refer to this minor point as “the statement about John Tribble.” What is the statement? dammit! You say that this is not a “fact” but a contention of the defense. For those readers who don’t understand the difference between “fact” and “contention of the Page ten . The Spectrum . Wednesday, 16 February 1977 by Ed Guity Ordinarily 1 wouldn’t answer to such extraordinarily absurd allegations, made by an obviously disturbed person. He is totally aware of the gravity of the situation here at the University and is evidentally trying to add fuel to the fire. This type of intimidation and harrasment is what prompts people to the point of violence. Ever since I can remember there has always been the constant reminder that he is better, more majestic than minority students. And we are accused of harrasment! What about the mental anguish that goes on inflicted by these sick individuals? Since when can an individual be ruled out of order, strictly on the biases of one arrogent individual? The subtle degradation that goes on in the office on an everyday basis. I’m not here to make any enemies, I’m here to make friends, establish the type of contacts that you are trying to establish. I must say to all of you, try to understand why people do the things they do. I’m not the type who writes lengthy letters filled with lengthy lies. I’m trying to let you and everyone else see themselves. I’m trying to let you ask yourselves the question, Am I really a liberal or do I have racist tendencies past normal? This is all a part of education. Until we start looking at such issues with logic and reason, the situation will remain the same. In closing, I would like to call for the immediate reinstatement of John Lott, Robert Tribble and George Thomas to the University of Buffalo. Ed Guity is SA Minority A/fairs coordinator. The fact stands: You are very articulate. The question is; What are you using it for? I think you have made a very good point here and as an individual who just so happens to be black, let me be the first to congradulate you publicly for pointing this out. I agree 100 percent with the exception of one of the words you use to describe their recent behavior military! The people and the organization you describe above are a lot of things but they are not military. The word does not describe them it describes you! And an even better word that describes you is Fascist! As a matter of fact that’s why I think you used that word in the first place because “military behavior” is Fascist behavior, and you, Mr. executive vice president (of all the students?) wanted a certain ethnic group to associate the term “military behavior” with the facism of Adolf Hitler! It is regrettable that you see fit to whip up reactionary and facist paranoia in this manner. I am sure that the Jewish student community is intelligent enough to see this obvious — — play! And as' for you, Mr. Editor-in-Chief, I think that you should rename your paper the SUNYAB Tattler. I would like to ask you a question which I hope you will answer in the following edition of SUNYAB Tattler. Most “Guest Opinions” have the.ir authors’ opinion (obviously). After reading executive vice president Speigel’s “Guest Opinion” over and over again, 1 still couldn’t find his opinion. Is it possible that there is no opinion to be found in his "Guest Opinion?” Now! if executive vice president Speigel didn’t have an opinion on any specific subject (no matter how general) why would he be writing a "Guest Opinion” in your paper? I also request that you address this question to every person that works for the SUNYAB Tattler, to every person in the executive committee (and 1 am hoping Jellyfish and executive vice president, Speigel will answer) and Dr. Ketter! 1 think that executive vice president Speigel’s “Guest Opinion” is not an opinion but simply a statement of his side of the story (and to which he is entitled) but as such a statement of his side of the story. He should never have been allowed to print it under the auspices of “Guest Opinion” or for that — — matter the SUNYAB Tattler. And it’s about time that you stood up and stop letting him dominate SUNYAB’s mass media as Jellyfish lets him dominate his administration. You knew that his opinion would stir up more controversy and hatred just as in Monday’s SUNYAB Tattler you knew that the BSU audit would stir up more controversy. For god’s sake hasn’t there been — enough! Question: Why does the BSU audit occupy such a prominent spot in Monday’s Tattlerl Could it be that showing that after all of this bullshit between the BSU and the SA that executive vice president Speigel’s story really was correct and this professional audit would remove any doubt thus executive vice president Speigel, Jellyfish and the Tattler would all come up smell like roses and the BSU smelling like shit? And while I’m at it, let me ask the BSU a question; How could you be so stupid as to let this hodge-podge clique of mediocracy do this to you and by implication us. The people in the upper echelons of the SA, the BSU and The Spectrum are pathetically inept and should resign immediately. It is they who are responsible for this farce. It is they who gave it media-event status. It is they who have caused all of this trouble amongst us. They are all ego tripping madmen. Throw them out. Throw them all out. 1 hope all of this shit will be remembered on the first Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of next month when new SA elections will be held. Please vote! I hope that after the new elections we can forget about these stupid assholes and the giant turd they collectively formed. — �TRB. After 2000 years of the Christian era two rival superpowers have emerged, either of whom can blast the other off the earth by mysterious nuclear weapons. The game is to see whether they do this and commit suicide, or whether they overcome their mutual hate and do what is so obviously to their self-interest. It is as pretty a test of the survival potential of homosapiens as you will find; we can all take an interest in it. So now we are met in the overcrowded auditorium of the Executive Office Building on Pennsylvania Avenue to watch the latest scene. The room is too small for 1 the reporters and they jam the sides waiting for President Carter. The floor slants downward, the carpet is tan, there is a little stage at the end with a lectern and presidential seal, and behind me I count 17 motion picture and TV cameras. It is a fairly low-ceilinged room that heats up with bodies and spotlights warm as a television booth. Excitement builds as we near 2:30; he has been president now about three weeks; he has been interviewed by four reporters from the news agencies and proved relaxed and competent without saying much; he has given his fireside chat in a cardigan sweater and recapitulated rather fuzzy pledges made in the campaign. He has issued a pardon to Vietnam war evaders; and he has taken a series of symbolic steps denoting simplicity and togetherness, including that nice inaugural walk from the Capitol. The Carter preliminaries are all but over now; real action is required; we have come to the end of the beginning. — At the dot of 2:30 a short, erect man in blue shirt, bold tie and gray suit walks on the stage; without the usual sonorous announcement, “The President,”' we awkwardly rise; he motions us down, and then President Carter starts his first press conference without any preliminary time-consuming statement. It is dominated by that little matter I mentioned at the beginning, the question of whether we can control the spiraling nuclear arms race and survive. He is asked about the confirmation of Paul Warnke as chief U.S. delegate to negotiate with Russia on arms limitation. Wamke’s notions about negotiations expressed in Foreign Policy magazine in 1975, alarmed hard-liners. They boil down to this: President Nixon asserted repeatedly that he couldn’t negotiate successfully with Moscow if we went to the bargaining table as the world’s second strongest military power. Warnke came up with a thought that apparently never occurred to Nixon or to the Pentagon that we had persuaded the Russians, too, that they could not “bargain the successfully” unless, they were strongest military power. Warnke put it simply: - “If we insist on remaining Number One, because there are incalcuable risks in being Number Two, then the Soviets have the wherewithal to escape that subordinate position.” He said they would seek to be Number One for the same reason we wanted to be. As Warnke added, every proposal to bargain away nuclear threats simply stimulates the determination to be Number One in “a mindless buildup.” What to do? His idea chills the Pentagon and stuns the Washington-based “Coalition for a Democratic Majority” that has been circulating an anonymous attack on him among senators; Why, not test the Russians, he asks; why not tell them what we are doing and make a gesture of restrain “while calling for matching restraint” for them? Is not this a terrifying proposal? It shows how soft he is. He brazenly spells it out: “If the Soviet Union responds by some significant slowing of its own strategic arms buildup, we can at the end of the first six months announce additional moves.” What nonsense; it is all but treasonable! And here is this man Jimmy Carter at his first presidential press conference declaring that Warnke is qualified and that he believes the Senate will confirm him “overwhelming.” Worse, Carter proposes to side-step obstacles that have held up Salt II .treaty agreement for two years and actually makes a little gesture of conciliation here and now, just as Warnke urged, each side to agree to notify the other in advance whenever it plans to test-fire an ICBM, and maybe a three or four year cessation of nuclear tests. He appears to be negotiating right from the press conference. Warnke is being interrogated by a Senate committee even while Mr. Carter sees the press. Enemies are trying to grab some extraneous issue: how did Daniel Ellsberg get the top secret copy of the Pentagon Papers in 1971? Warnke had a copy, transferred it to a high security vault at the Rand Corporation when he left the Johnson Administration (where he was assistant secretary of Defense); two former aides, Morton Halperin and Leslie Gelb, jointly authorized access Cot EpiBe'rg Whs Wamke involved? sdesn ready to grasp at anything. Confirmation c seems inevitable. The half hour is up, the first press conference is over. How did he do? Very well, I thought. I shall wait to hear the definitive judgment of John Osborne, but in the meantime he seemed to me clear, crisp and confident and master of the occasion. He was splendidly briefed. Kennedy for wit, Ford for warmth, FDR for virtuosity, but f6r technical command, Jimmy Carter. It is also gratifying to feel that in this Russian negotiating business he is probably right. Mr. Carter proposes to have two press conferences a month I hope he does. Whether he can take the adversary relationship remains to be seen. FDR had two a week; Richard Nixon let five months pass without one. Walter Lippmann called them, “not a privilege but an organic necessity.” A corps of knowledgeable journalists is ready to question. If Mr. Carter is serious about getting his views to the public there is no better way. “Of all the processes of government in all the lands of the world this is the single most fascinating, absorbing... and daring,” said Commentator Howard K. Smith, returning to America, way back in 1955. There is nothing resembling it, he added, “anywhere in the world;” the English cabinet, of course, undergoes question-time an hour a day, four days a week in parliament: they are the executive in a collective body. But here the president speaks for the entire executive branch, in an ad lib performance. Wilson was first. It has been a trying experience for many. But Washington is a healthier city, I think, when the president submits regularly to this examination. ' - ; Sliced turkey, bacon, lettuce and tomato served on a miner’s loaf. 2.25 II.

Page eleven | �TAP form redone with student input by Karen Bjomland Special to The Spectrum (SASU) The 1977—78 TAP application form has been improved, simplified, and streamlined by the Higher Services Corporation largely as a result of recommendations by State University students. Citing a previous HESC claim that students would be included in the re-vamping of the TAP form, SASU legislative director, Jowl Packer, pushed for and has been successful in instituting TAP form revisions that would directly affect SUNY students. As a result, HESC extended their deadline to draft the new form and students were included in meetings of the Advisory Council of the HESC. The most obvious change in the TAP form is the structure itself. HESC has recommended, with SASU approval, a new form in which the financial emanicpation form (Schedule B) and the section regarding other family members (Schedule A) is included with the TAP application as separate attachments. In the past Schedule B was not included with th TAP form and Schedule A only added to the clutter of information on the main form. Both Schedule A and B are special sections not filled out by every student. The TAP application form also sports a peel-off label similar to those on federal income tax forms which will insure speedy processing. However, the school code will not be printed on it. One of the problems in the past has been that students failed to check the student school code number on the label and the form had to be reprocessed. fn November, HESC president, Eileen Dickenson, recommended omitting the instruction booklet from TAP applications, but pressure from SASU has retained the instruction booklet as well as calling for improved directions within the form itself. At SASU’s suggestions, the form will also include a self-addressed, stamped postcard. This postcard will be used to notify students that their applications have been received and/or other materials are needed. Other improvements incorporated by HESC with prodding by SASU include numbered items, clarifications on which signatures are required, and less computations in the income record section. The handy work copy has also been retained for the student’s convenience and the financial emanicpation form no longer requires notarized parental signature. Two further points of interest; the section requiring social security and public assistance information has been omitted and according to the Governor’s budget, a new section will require Veterans and BEOG — ' benefits information. The new application form, slated for an April 1 issue date is simpler, more comprehensive and less likely to fall prey to errors that delay processing. f*ge twelve The Spectrum Wednesday, 16 February 1977 . .

After 18 months of naked fascist rule her government now wants “to renew its mandate from the people.” Parliament has been dissolved. Elections are to be held. Political priaouci ■ve to be released. The pr#sg_Jil e free from censorship. And all this will finally uphold “the fair name of India as a land committed to the path of reconciliation, peace and progress.” And the critics can now rest in silence and with relief. The abberation was only short-lived, and it was necessary. Let no one raise a finger toward India anymore! But was it really “a short-lived abberation?” Is India returning to the pre-June 1975 days? Are the days of fascist dictatorship over? The answer to all these questions is no. The latest step by the Gandhi government is a careful and tactical move in order to give some face-lifting to the fascist dictatorship and to provide it with some measure of formal legitimacy. After 18 months of open fascistic rule, such a move became both necessary and possible. “If the formal declaration of the ‘Emergency’ is withdrawn, it will only follow when sufficient preparation to maintain fascist dictatorship through other means has been made. If an election is held it will be like the one held by the Thieu clique during its dying years in Vietnam. The speedy constitutional amendments, the increase in police force, already increased more than 52 times since 1951, all-round development of paramilitary organizations, dismissal and transfer of defiant or non-cooperative officials and the curtailment of political activities of opposition parties and trade union activities of workers show that even if the ‘Emergency’ formally ends, dictatorship will still run amuck.” * All this, and much more, has been done in the last 18 months to make sure that the dictatorial form of rule continues even if some formal relaxation becomes necessary. Take, for example, the case of press censorship. What difference does it make if the government now says that the censorship has been lifted. It is a hollow gesture. With the Prevention of Publication of Objectionable Matter Act, passed during the Emergency, who needs censorship! The Act gives such sweeping powers to the government, and defines the “objectionable matter” so broadly that the press is left with no freedom whatsoever. According to this definition, anything which “brings into hatred or contempt or excites disaffection towards the government” or which is “defamatory of the President, the Vice President, the Prime Minister, the Speaker of the House, or the Governor of a State” (among many other things) is objectionable and could lead to the closure of a paper. Not only this, the amended Constitution has placed this Act in the so-called Ninth Schedule of the Constitution, which means that it cannot be challenged in any court of law. Press censorship has thus become a permanent feature of India. Furthermore, during the emergency the Press Council of India, an independent body which guaranteed freedom of press and Face lifting With an almost total erosion of government’s credibility in people’s minds, with the Gandhi posters smeared on the streets and her apperance jeered at in movie houses, with increased confrontations between people’s forces and the police, with the enormous growth of organized resistance against fascist dictatorship involving larger and larger sections of the population, including members of the government’s own bureaucracy, and with the growing adverse public opinion in the international community which has been increasingly taking the shape of organized protest by the working people in some parts of the world with all this, it was obvious that some face-lifting had become - - necessary. But all this wouldn’t have still brought about the latest move by the Gandhi government had it also not been possible for it to do so. During the last 18 months the government has undertaken TONITE Wednesday DRINK n’ DROWN with JAMBO • 1c BEER Thursday, • 10c MIXED DRINKS ALICE FAY REWETHER Number 1 Rock Band) (Cleveland Ohio's Friday & Saturday Sunday nite 2 BIG SHOWS!! to silence the liberal critics, at home and abroad, and to appease the US dominated western imperialism. It is an attempt to further deceive the people by trying to rehabilitate the “democratic” image of Indira Gandhi and her government. Its effect will be to camouflage the dictatorship by giving it some kind of a formal legitimacy. There is no doubt that Indira Gandhi and her party will not only win the election but will perahps win with even a greater majority than in view of the she has now weak, broken up, and highly disorganized nature of parliamentary opposition and in view also of the powerful and terrorizing force which the Congress party has amassed for itself. attempt sufficient measures to insure all the key aspects of the fascist rule are adequately institutionalized. Here it is important to recall what we in IP AN A said about this seven months ago: following commentary was written by the Indian People’s Association in North America (IPANA). - - TRIUMPH (Canada's top recording stars) Plus Stormin DARK AFTER 6104 S. Transit Road - Resistors set free? What about the claim of releasing political prisoners? By the government’s own declaration, only those not charged with “specific crimes” will be released. What crimes? Will the people who have bravely resisted forcible sterilization, or the demolition of their meagre homes by police, or the burning down of their huts and crops by the thugs of the landlords and moneylenders, or the ordinary working people who have resisted the taking away of their hard-won rights, or the many government employees who have refused to carry out the will any of anti-people policies these people be released? Obviously not. Will the tens of thousands of political prisoners held in Indian jails for many years now be released? Of course not. On the contrary their arrests continue unabated. For example, the January 22, 1977 issue of the Free Press Journal (a Bombay daily) which carries the front page headline “Emergency Relaxed” also carries on the same front page a news item about the detention of “5 city Naxalites.” It is clear that only such leaders of parliamentary opposition who under intimidation have undertaken an “oath” of good conduct and will fulfill the ornamental task of her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition are to be set free. The actual fighters for people’s rights, people’s well-being and dignity, will continue to be labelled as “criminals” and held indefinitely in jail. — ensured fairness and high journalistic standards, was permanently abolished. In order to further control the press, the Emergency rule forced the merger of four independent news agencies into one and brought it under direct government control. So much for the lifting of censorship! Forced sterilization of people, to take another example, was not just a passing whim of the Emergency period. Both the central as well as many state governments have already passed stringent laws which require people to go through this fascistic invasion of their private lives. End of Constitution The enactment of the Bonus Act in 1975 which did away with the important gains made by the working people through many years of struggle, and the many governmental ordinances issued during the Emergency period which have severely curtailed the rights of the organized workers, further indicates how the fascist dictatorship has managed to already institutionalize its anti-people policies. Then, of course, there are the well-known amendments to the Constitution itself. So drastic and far-reaching were the changes introduced that one critic said “the Constitution has not been amended, or mended, it has in effect been ended.” The fundamental rights of Indian citizens (like the right to freedom of speech, expression, movement, association, etc.), at least formally guaranteed by the Constitution so far, have been virtually done away with. Instead, a set of ten “fundamental duties” have been added. The independence of the judiciary has been drastically curtailed. The Executive branch of the government has been given supreme powers, including the power to further amend the Constitution itself through a fh® Pre siden tfel Constitution has been turned into a tool for consolidating and perpetuating the fascist rule in India. Characteristically, and reminiscent of fascism of earlier days, a new word has been added to the Preamable which declares India to be a “Socialist republic!” Snap elections In addition to all this, the last year-and-a-half has witnessed a most high-handed and ruthless attempt to break up or to weaken oppositional forces and to consolidate the fascist rule of Indira Gandhi. A large number of government employees as well as members of judiciary were either transferred to ineffective places or outrightly dismissed if they were unwilling to carry out the government policies. We know what happened in Gujarat and Tamil Nadu the only two States which had non-Congressional ministries at the time of the declaration of Emergency. By one high-handed executive fiat or the other, the two defying ministries were eventually dismissed and the States brought under direct Congressional rule. The general populace has been subjected to severe intimidation and terror through vastly expanded police, para-military, and intelligence forces, and through the fascist goons of Sanjay Gandhi’s Youth Congress. Many large trade unions in the country which were traditionally under left and progressive influence have been through broken up intimidation, arrests, murders, and and burning down of offices brought under the control of the Congress dominated Indian National Trade Union Congress. It is thus clear that during the last 18 months the Gandhi government has sufficiently institutionalized the fascist character of its rule. Calling for snap elections at this opportune ,4ifne is nothing more than a tactical and farcical JnoV-e.llisan. - - — - Wednesday, Gandhi and Hitler It is a sham relaxation of the Emergency. And it is going to be sham elections. There is a significant and illustrative parallel in history. After being appointed Chancellor of Germany by Hindenburg in January 1933, Hitler on the one hand widely propagated his demagogical 25-point economic programme (quite similar to Indira and Sanjay Gandhi’s 15-point programme) and on the other unleashed a most pervasive and widespread terror in the country.

Koeppel scored two goals for the Bulls and MacLean picked up three assists, while leading many of the Buffalo rushes. “I just saw an opening, and nobody was there, so I took the puck up myself,” said MacLean of his new found rushing After the hockey Bulls defeated Oswego 4-3 last Saturday Johnny Moore night, goalie commented that the score could have been much higher had he and his teammates played up to their capabilities. On Sunday they did, swamping the Lakers 8-2 in the second game of the two-game set played at the Tonawanda Sports Center. The Bulls Division 11 record now stands at 10-4, and with only one divisional game . remaining (a make-up against weak-sister Brockport State), increasing their chances of being one of the eight teams selected for the playoffs. (Monday’s issue of incorrectly The Spectrum reported twelve teams would be 1% I selected.) Gang Once again, it's time to honor Ray Gruarin as Athlete-of-the-Week. Gruarin, who had earned the honor once last semester by picking up eight assists in one game, has done it again, except this time his big contribution is goals. In the big series against Oswego last weekend, Gruarin picked up five goals to lead the Bulls to a two-game sweep of the series. Gruarin also leads the team in scoring with 18 goals and 29 assists for 47 points. Honorable mention this week belongs to wrestler Dave Mitchell, who picked up his sixth win in a row over the weekend, to freshman swimmer Jim Brenner, who set the school record for the 1000 freestyle Friday night, and to hustling women's basketball forward Paula Hills, who had nine rebounds in each of two games this weekend, and 15 points against Oswego. leader in Sunday’s was star center Ray “Tuffy” Gruarin, who bagged the three goal hat trick and set up his teammates for two other tallies. The night before, Gruarin had scored two goals, giving him a weekend. Not seven point surprisingly, Gruarin was selected as the first star of both games. “There’s no doubt about it, massacre playing outstanding Tuffy’s hockey. He’s playing with a great deal of confidence, and has been a tower of power,” said Buffalo coach Ed Wright. -----------"-""""““I & DON’S MOBIL BOB 632-9533 Serving SONY'S Buffalo & Amherst Campus Road Service Towing Everything Automotive When in Doubt Call we offer STUDENT DISCOUNT FOR REPAIR WORK Use your Mobil Credit Card, Bank Americard or Master Charge. - — — Red is beautiful Helping Gruarin on the team’s “Red Line” (so designated due to the color of their practice jerseys) are high scoring wingers Jack Costello.

Koeppel set up Gruarin for the first goal of the game (on the first shot of the evening) at the thirty-one second mark, when he fed Gruarin with a neat pass to the slot. Tuffy quickly skimmed a bullet past surprised Laker goalie Steve Paluseo. Oswego goalie gets beat Less than five minutes later the Bulls scored again, with Koeppel getting his first of the night and eighth of the season. With Ron Gabrielli of Oswego serving a four minute roughing penalty, the Bulls began applying heavy pressure on Paluseo. After a flurry of shots at the Laker goal, Costello sent the puck to Gruarin, who circled behind the cage. He fed the disc to Koeppel about ten feet inside the blue line, and the Buffalo defenseman blasted a slapper high into the met. “On the first one (of his two goals), I thought ti was going to be high. I though Paluseo would’ve stopped it. He’s an excellent goalie,” said Koeppel afterwards. Excellent goalie Paluseo missed one more shot in the period, as Gruarin made a quick goalmouth conversion of a MacLean pass at 14:18. The Lakers finally got on the scoreboard . at- 17:56, when sophomore defenseman Robbie Olsen picked up a loose puck at the Buffalo blueline, decoyed Gary jB,uffa(fl TruihpfheUer and Paul Pitman, and fired a high shot past Moore. In the second period, the Bulls took advantage of three penalties to increase their lead to 6-1. The prettiest goal of the period was center Frank Anzalone’s tally at 7:56, when he led a three-on-none Buffalo break into the Oswego State zone. Anzalone grabbed a loose puck at center ice, and with half of the Buffalo team trailing him, skated in alone on Paluseo.

It made little difference to the Bulls however, that Paluseo was replaced by frosh netminder Mike McNulty in the third period, as the Buffalo shooters cashed in two more times. Overall, the Bulls scored on eight of their 42 shots, while limiting the usually potent Lakers offense to just 27 shots. Most of the Buffalo defensive work was actually done in offensive zone by hard-checking wingers and alert defensemen. According to Buffalo blueliner Gemmer, Wright had Dan explained the Oswego breakout pattern skaters, and to his cautioned them to be wary of it. “One defenseman would pass it to the other in the corner, and then cut to the front of the net. The other guy would pass it back to him, and they’d come.out,” said Gemmer. “We let them break out too easily yesterday (Saturday). Today we watched the defense so they couldn’t break out.” ‘A licking’ The Bulls only pfbblem in the game was that of taking too many Fortunately stupid penalties. though, the Buffalo penalty killers were superb on this occasion, and though shorthanded eight different times, yielded no goals to the Laker power play. “If we presented them (Lakers) with any kind of a chance to get in the game, it was with foolish penalties,” said Wright. “Sooner or later, especially if we’re fortunate enough to reach the playoffs, we’ll get burned by them.” “On the other side, it is advantageous to have a team it that’s able to kill penalties causes a mental breakdown on the part of the other team.” Perhaps the most important thing that Wright said after the game was only indirectly related to the game itself. “The best thing about this,” said Wright, “is that they’re enjoying playing.” Enjoying it, indeed. The Bulls are loving it right now. As winning goalie Johnny Moore quipped afterwards, “We gave them a licking and a shit-kicking!” And Moore was wearing a broad smile when he said it. - d) An Academic summer Orientation e) A Task Force phamplet c) Task Force Teaching Awards f) The creation of a task force office.

Cousins would especially like to win this game ist her alma mater. “The kids are really up for it,” she said. “If the could pull Brockport off, it would be a big lift for us.” Mailmen throughout the world have trudged through rain, sleet and hail. But while Buffalo letter-carriers hung up their bags this past week because of the hazardous weather, Buffalo’s wrestlers packed theirs and went on the road in search of victories against Oswego, Ohio State and the University of Cincinnati. When the Bulls returned, they brought back two victories and an optimistic outlook for the rest of the season. Last week’s action seems to be the catalyst which has sparked the Bulls out of their long winter hibernation. Quick start Buffalo’s grapplers overwhelmed a weaker Oswego team, 31-6. The Bulls’ Tony Oliver! opened the match up by defeating his Oswego counterpart 9-2. Oliveri’s victory set the tone for the rest of the match. Next, Ray Pfeifer pinned Laker Tom Wilson in a near record twenty-six seconds. Solid performances by Ed Tyrrell, Gene Tundo, Kirk Anderson, Bob Martineck and Dave Mitchell followed, and the final score was beefed up by Oswego’s forfeit to Tom Gravell. However, the Bulls’ Rich Bopp lost his close contest to Andy Yokopovich because of the one point riding time rule. A glimmer of hope in the Bulls’ future now seems apparent. In its overwhelming victory over Oswego, the Bulls beat a team that narrowly lost to Buffalo’s Eastern Wrestling League opponent. Lock Haven State. Earlier this year, Lock Haven simply “outgunned” the Buffalo squad. But against Oswego, Michael said, “We were the better team . . we went out and did it.” He continued, “Our performance has been up to par. There have been no surprises, it just took time.” When the Bulls traveled to Columbus, Ohio to compete in a triangular match with Ohio State and an the University of Cincinnati, the Bulls gained the inferior wallopping While impressive split. narrowly Cincinnati squad 28-11, the Bulls were college sport the perennial nipped 19-16 by powerhouse Ohio State Buckeyes. Group win “Our boys wrestled well as a group, said Michael. “They hustled and gave all they had to give, win, lose or draw.” Indeed, the Bulls did wrestle well of as a group. In fact, the Bulls have won three out their last four matches, which gives them a seasonal record of 6-7. The Bulls’ recent upsurge can be attributed to hard work, but many individuals on the squad have been the benefactors of the Bulls newfound success. Kirk Anderson has been the only consistently victorious Bull throughout the season. But Bob Martineck, Dave Mitchell and Ray Pfeifer have begun to show sings of Anderson’s consistent ways. “These guys have been superb,” Michael said. Pfeifer, Mitchell and Anderson each accounted for double victories in the match, while single victories were registered by John Hughes, Gary Devin, Tony Oliveri and Gene Tundo against Cincinnati, and Martineck against Ohio State. “Ohio State has a good competitive team. They are in the Big Ten and if we had won just one more irtdividual match, we could have beaten them.” towards the future, Michael Looking commented, “We were plagued by inconsistency early in the year, but now the boys have wrestled more consistently.” This weekend, the Bulls will be traveling down to Canton, to compete in the New York State Invitational Tournament. Currently, the Bulls are ranked third in the state, behind Syracuse and Brockport, but Michael says, “It’s within our grasp to win the State Championship.” The Bulls are the current New York State Champions and have copped the title five of the six previous years.

Wednesday, 16 February 1977 �Sportspaige N by Paige Miller Last weekend, the hockey Bulls played an important two game series against the Oswego Great Lakers. It was college hockey at its best, to coin a phrase, and could have a definite bearing on Buffalo’s chances of' making the playoffs. The two games were publicized in The Spectrum and on posters around campus. So, how were the games attended? Not very well, I’m afraid. The official attendance figures for both games were under one although thousand, some observers disputed that. In any event, out of a school of 25,000 students, in a hockey-crazy town like Buffalo, and considering that the games were free to students, what could possibly be keeping the people away? Apathy is a good answer. Someone once reportedly discovered a cure for apathy, but no one was interested. The fans who did attend certainly were vocal enough in voicing their approval of the Bulls’ play they weren’t apathetic; in fact, they almost went nuts. But they are just a very few. — Another reason why the people might have stayed away is that the planned bus service to the rink never materialized. According to Dennis Delia, the Inter-Residence Council (IRC) and the Student Association were supposed to split the cost of the busses. IRC has not yet come through with their part of the money so the busses were cancelled. Co-ordinator of Men’s Intercollegiate Athletics Ed Muto acknowledged that traveling to the rink might be a deterrent to some people. “When we do go off campus,” Muto said, “we’re going to have to provide buses.” But Muto was really at a loss to explain the poor attendance. “We’re really putting things on for the students,” Muto said. “I think the students should support the teams. “I could understand if the wasn’t winning,” he continued, noting that that wasn’t the case with hockey. '‘And I think you should support your school team, regardless. After all, it’s your team.” If chauvinism isn’t a good enough reason to motivate most people, perhaps the fact that Buffalo has played some of the team top schools in the country could attract people. However, the Hartwick soccer team, ranked number two in the nation at the time, played at Rotary Field before about fifty people. The Penn State wrestling team, also one of the top teams in the nation, attracted at most 300 fans despite massive pregame publicity. And Syracuse, ranked eighteenth in the nation in basketball played Buffalo at the Memorial Auditorium before a sparse crowd and Providence, ranked sixteenth, was playing in the second game of that doubleheader. Apparently, this University will be saddled with lack of fan interest for some time to come, When will it change? “I don’t know,” Muto said. But you can bet he was hoping it would be soon � • * * • Miscellaneous: Muto said that The Spectrum was doing a better job than in the past in helping to attract people to the games, but felt that we should be doing a lot more. and At home hockey basketball games, there is a shootout between periods.

Swim teams split in two weekend meets The University of Buffalo men’s swimming team split two meets over the last weekend, swamping Rochester on Friday and losing to Cortland on Saturday. The women’s team had a rougher time,, losing to Rochester 73-24 on Thursday and drowning against Cornell on Saturday at Clark Hall. The Buffalo mermen took advantage of an undermanned Rochester squad to record their fourth win of the year. Rochester did not have a diver, and therefore forfeited sixteen points to Buffalo. Buffalo took first in nine of the other ten events. Freshman Jim Brenner picked up two wins, in the 1000 yard freestyle and in the 200 yard backstroke. Brenner’s time in the 1000 set a new school record, giving him the school record in the three longest freestyle events. Buffalo coach Bill Sanford was proud of Brenner, saying, “I don’t really know what he’s capable of doing.” Sanford experimented a lot during the meet, trying to find the right combinations for the upcoming SUNY Center and New York State tournaments. Chuck Niles swam a very good time in the 200 freestyle, and Sanford indicated that Niles could become the fourth member of the team’s 800 freestyle relay team. Diver Mike Doran turned in a personal high in the optional diving, with 232.05 points, and then surprisingly swam a leg on Buffalo’s 400 freestyle relay team. Sanford was pleased with the way the team has been swimming recently (their record is 4-4), and indicated that he would continue to experiment, noting, “I’m looking for little things in each meet. I m trying to see where things are going to fit best.” Buffalo’s undermanned women’s swimmers continued to struggle, and the two weekend losses dropped their record to 1-4.

Women who choose to work are placed in an untenable position since pregnancy means more than the loss of their wages while pregnant. After childbirth women must provide for childcare or abandon the workforce altogether.” “The gains of the last decade in the employment of Blacks and other minorities, as well as women could be wiped out with the Supreme Court’s approach,” Augustus Hawkins (D., Calif.), said.

In his dissent to the court’s opinion, Justice Brennan called the opinion “fanciful,” “simplistic*” and “misleading.” Joined by Justice Marshall, Brennan wrote “the soundness of the Court’s underlying assumption that the plan is an untainted product of a gender-neutral risk assignment can be examined against a historical backdrop of GE —continued from page 7— ... employment practices,” and can be found to be “purely fanciful.” . Capacity for pregnancy Brennan also maintains that the majority “unjustifiably rejected” the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC) claim that the exclusion of pregnancy from an insurance plan is not compatible with, and may even violate, the overall objectives of Title VII. (Title VII stipulates that caused or contributed to by pregnancy . . . should be treated as such under any temporary disability insurance or sick leave plan.) In the second dissent, Justice Stevens wrote that ‘by definition such a rule discriminates on the basis of sex for it is the capacity to become pregnant which differentiates the female from the male.” The analysis remains the same he says “whether the rule relates to hiring, promotion, the acceptability of an excuse for absence, or the exclusion from a health insurance plan. Women s capacity for pregnancy has served as an historical basis for job discrimination since employers have long used potential pregnancy as an excuse to refuse to hire, train, and promote women.

In the case of suspension or expulsion the Court makes a recommendation to the University President who delivers the final decision. Many of the cases heard by the Court could be heard in civil or criminal courts.

The present Chief-Justices of the Student Wide Judiciary are two seniors, Deborah Sorbini and Rhonda Schechtman. The other day school justices are Alan Alperin, Andrew Donner, James Brandt, Louis Masur, Brian Jacobs, Robert Kapito, and Mary Ruocco. The Millard Fillmore College justices are Angie Janetakos, James McCann, Chuck Boulange, and Paul O'Connor.
